I some how corrupted my android market app while removing programs and my roll back is not fixing it, does anyone have a form of the app they can supply me so I can upload it to the system file in adb shell? Or any other way to get it back on the device, any help would be greatly appreciated

So I was tired of having to install my apps one by one after a wipe or x problem. So with a lot of help from an apple scripting forum, I made this droplet app.
To use it you must have at least adb installed. Connect your phone to your mac via usb. Put all the apps you want installed into a folder. I would avoid naming the folder "untitled folder". I don't know why, I just had a problem when I tried it once. So after all of the apps are in the folder, drag the folder onto this application. All you need to do is wait, the applications will install and you are done.
I am keeping this application in my /android/tools/ folder, just so that I don't lose it.
Feel free to edit the script in any way. Enjoy.

yaaaayyy! great work my friend
great job on this!
is this the same as using adb?
adb push *.apk /data/app/
I would like to have a way to fresh install all the apk after wipe
but i think apk installed via adb would not be automatically tracked for new version by market, right?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this is using the adb install command not push. But I don't know the difference between the two. I have such a small understanding of this. I don't believe that the applications are tracked by the market with this, but I would love to know how it could be done.
Does anyone know if there is a way to install them and have them be tracked?
Solid contribution. Really like what you've done. I don't need it, but I'm sure a lot of people without a full linux distro will enjoy it.
Anything for the mac side of things has got to be good. Mucho props for this.
So I still know nothing about installing the apps so they are recognized by the market. However i did remember that aTrackDog does just that. So as long as most of the programs you install fresh on your device are relatively new, then aTrackDog should be able to help.
I do realize that updating an app(uninstall and reinstalling) takes just as long as the initial install. but at least it would be fewer at a time right?
i noticed that if you restart the phone mid way through installation,
the download would resume after reboot.
so I was thinking if I could inject information into the vending app
that way I can hopefully trick market into downloading the latest app for me
and update tracking would work
I messed around with assets.db->assets10 a bit
I did found the package name and status there, tried adding a new record but the market app is not picking it up
my guess: we might need some corresponding data on google mothership for that to work
i do not like aTrackDog, i prefer native market tracking instead
maybe i can try backing up the whole data folder for the market app next time i wipe
where would the market app save the data once you download it? would we be able to replicate that process? like sending the data from each app we install to the market app? because that would be unbelievable!
I need some info if someone has the time to help me. I am using Titanium Backup and it reports since I installed a new rom that the following files are no longer installed on my Droid and for some reason they are not backed up even though I backup regularly. Talkback.apk, Kickback.apk, Soundback.apk, System Updater 2.1 update 1.apk, and Alarm Clock 2.1 update 1.apk. It also showed that Sound Recorder was not installed but I was able to find, download and install that file just fine. I just need to find the others so I can download them. Can anyone point me to them or send them to me? Don't worry about the Titanium issue I just threw that in to let you know what was going on. Can someone please help me get t files. I have found no help anywhere else.
Hey everyone I need some help
I just upgraded my Milestone to 2.2 using dexter's awesome method and it's running amazingly, the problem is I don't seem to have access to all the apps in the market anymore and I just got a car alarm installed that I can control from my phone and I can't seem to download it anymore from the market...
Now I tried using Market Enabler and it still wasn't there so I started to dig deeper and found that I had a Nandroid backup of it on my SD card, but instead of being a normal .APK it's a .ZIP file.
So I need everyone's help in figuring out how can we change this .ZIP into a workable .APK? I tried just changing the extension and it essentially looks like it will install the app but then says Installation Failed... What am I missing guys? There's got to be some way to get the app back!
Its the Viper SmartStart alarm app so if anyone can help me out please!!
Hi - I 'm a new Transformer Pad owner and I really like it. I have a question about the preinstalled app MyLibrary. I am using it to organize my e-books (from Amazon) into folders as well as to note which books are 1st, 2nd, etc in a series. I took me hours and hours to do this so what I want to do is to back up what I've done in case something goes wrong and I have to restore the tablet. However, I can't find where the MyLibrary files are located in the file manager software and MyLibrary isn't located among the apps available for backup in App Backup. Does anyone know how I can back this up? Any help will be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks.
Its a system app and you have to back it up as such. I don't think you can back up system apps with the asus backup manager but you can use other backup apps like Titanium Backup
You need root, it is in /system/app
How to get root?
Thanks. How do I get root? What is it? Is it risky? I don't want to alter anything on the tablet to do the backup.
Think of rooting as jailbreaking it, you can use my One-click PERI tool, but that is definitely altering the tablet. (software not hardware)
Any other way?
Thanks for your reply. Is there any way to back up system apps without altering the tablet to get root?
No, it's a locked down section of the tablet. :[
You can do it on your computer by extracting it from the blob too.
Let me see if I can find the .apk file for you, I may have it lying around somewhere.
EDIT: Do you need to open MyCloud first to get in it? I have MyCloud
Thanks again
Thanks for continuing to help. I don't need to open MyCloud first. MyLibrary is separate all by itself. Thanks for saying that you will try to find the .apk file but that won't accomplish what I'm trying to do. The thing is I put a lot of work in to organizing my books into folders and making comments on some books that are a part of a series. It's that part (all my changes) that I'm trying to back up in case I have to restore the tablet. How to you extract something from the blob via computer? Thanks.
Oh, I'm sorry there's no easy way to do that without root :/
You'd have to go through a hour process just to get that data, and it'd be impossible to restore without root anyway.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I thought you wanted the apk.
Titanium backup is a good root app to do this though.
Any other apps?
Thanks for your help again. Do you know of any apps that will allow me to import Kindle books and then organize them, make notations as to which book is first, and then back up that with app backup? Thanks.
Hi All
I tried to restore date to my messaging app by titanium back up and then the app disappeared, I think I had a bad backup file. I didn't have another backup unfortunately. I tried to reinstalling it by getting the modded apk from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/app-stock-s6-sms-app-waking-screen-t3105591
But that didn't work, I still have no messaging app.
Can anyone help?
I am running the G920W8 on 5.1.1. I was able to switch system files to writable before adding the messaging app. And I am using ES File explorer to navigate the directories. All help appreciated!
Thank you so much
bump, anyone? still need help to bring it back!!
Short of flashing stock image I don't know what else to suggest..
