Kind of a weird question but if I install an application from an apk, how can I "link it" so it shows as installed in the market and get auto updates?
I am planning to flash my rom and i have d/l quite a few apps that I want to avoid d/l again (internet not so good in our part of the world) so just using apk to install would be much faster
thanks
Titanium Backup can recreate market links. It's called "Attach to Market (forced)". I don't know if the free version can do it or if it's only the pro version, but either way, it's a really great app and totally worth the money if you go for the pro version. It does require root, though.
Market will make the links automatically as soon you login.
Be aware that some apk's you collected can be incompatible with particular device.

thank you both for the quick reply
I do have titanium backup free I will check this
Deaad you mean there is nothing to do ? all apps are taken from my current ROM (Stock) running on the note
I think that I missed your question.
If you need to flash a rom make a CWM backup first in case of emergency.
In case you need to wipe first than you need also a titanium backup.

They are in Titanium (root is needed). Freeze is better then uninstall, you can experiment what to remove and easily return back. And there is somewhere a list of apps which are safe to remove, search for it. Of course, you can remove all of unwanted apps from the rom before flashing it.
Edit:
Read here about what apk's are secure to remove http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989283
Thanks friends,
I even did it through titanium backup. I took a backup and then uninstall. Its goes very smooth without much prob.
Thanks

use root uninstaller or titanium backup to freeze anything you don't want or uninstall after backup

Hi people!!!
I'm ready to change my old android 4.0 for a new one, i'm thinking in 4.2.2 because it's newer and i think that has less bugs that this version.
But i'm worried about my apps, and services, like my gps points and my advace in my games and download again everything!!!
So, i want to know if exist any app to avoid download all again, and keep my info, like my notes, my downloads and everything.
Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Google will back up all of your apps if you opted to do so. Make a nandroid back up in recovery, as well as a TiBu backup. Then when you isntall 4.2.2 you should be able to recover everything with those 3 backups.

Going from 4.0 to 4.2.2 could cause issues though so be warned that after you restore your data you could encounter FC's. Not saying it will happen but there is always a chance. Especially considering that there is a completely different partition layout between where you are and where you are wanting to go.

Well wouldn't he just flash 4.2.2 twice, then the gapps, and restore non-system apps and be fine?

Yes that would work perfectly as far as restoring apps. However the restore of user data for the apps so he has his last save point on a game or is already logged into Facebook might be a different story. With the use of the /datadata partition in JB it could cause issues. But it might not I really don't know.

Good point, didn't think of that. I would think the apps should be able to find the correct path though when restoring backups from ICS to JB...worst comes to worst just move it manually

I know that cm10.1 has a symbolic link, data/data >> datadata, that gets created when you flash it. I imagine that is only there to allow legacy settings to work.

Thanks for the answers, its really helpfull for me.
Mmm i think that it's better download all again, after that generate a issues in device, because it's just why i'm changing my android version jeje to avoid problems and bugs.
So, i want just one answer, what it's better for me.
Make that backup and restore with all its problems, or just download all my apps again and lose the data.
Remember i am a noob in this world, and i think that i can afford the time of install all again.
Thank forum, it's just a lot of help for me.

Try both out. I would start by doing all your backups and then upgrade and try to restore your data. If it works then go with it. If you have problems resort to the other option.

You can use Titanium Backup to backup your apps
Hello everyone! I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9305 and I want to know if there is a custom rom with no applications in it but only the google play store. An empty rom with only playstore that I mayest install what I want. Thank you!
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium
search in the development section
Some essential apps like android system, touchwiz, etc are essential for ui... So u cant get one with play store only... If you want delete your system apps with link2sd. But its risky and if u delete any needed file ur ui will be gone .. So keep a nandroid backup with u

No empty roms posted but no reason you could not strip a custom rom of many more apps .
It would of course require a bit more than just basic knowledge .

Thank you for your answers. I understand that this can cause problems in the system ... I would have liked to try to make my own custom rom but I don't have much knowledge ... Maybe I could ask a developer if he can try to make one?

The answer is that's not how it works .
Next best is a light rom from development section that dev says bloatware removed .
