[Q] How to install batch of APK

sry if title is wrote wrong..
but i want install i think a hundred of apks.. and i want do it with one command..
But it must be without ADB. bec on tytn adb dont workin if i know..
thx for help

U can copy the apks directly into /data/app/ and they will appear in ur app drawer. Then u can run them normally.
However there r some apks dont support this method, e.g. mybackup, camera360, etc, u should still install them.

u think copy my apps to androidinstall.tar/data/app/
or its job in installed android

both are OK.
I've tried it.
If u have backuped the configrations of some apps (from /data/data/*), u can even copy the /data/data/* into androidinstall.tar. Then right After install the system, u can have the apps already configured.

BSG
you can use boot script generator, select correctly your system location and data location and put your apk in /sdcard/andboot/apps/

Install apk from sdcard using your internet browser

What if you need to install an apk from sdcard but you don't have a file manager installed yet, and to make things worse you don't have internet access to download it from the market!
Well, there's a solution to that. Provided by every internet browser available.
(I suppose you have one installed
Here's what you need to do:
1. Put the apk file in the main directory your sdcard. Rename it to something very short for easy typing. In this example, I will use "fm.apk".
2. Boot your device. Goto Security Settings and check "Unknown Sources".
3. Open your internet browser. In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/<filename>.apk".
In our example above it should look like this: "file:///sdcard/fm.apk"
4. Press "Go".
That's it! Installation started!

Did you follow exactly as instructed? What's the filename of the file? where did you put it? what did you type in the address bar? Sorry for the late resply

Nice to know new things, I made ES file xplorer to esfilex.apk then it says play online it works. Now I can install a filemanager if a rom doesn't have one.
Thanks

You could also do
adb install /sdcard/name.apk
If you were feeling like a pro.

Or, instead of trying to remember browser commands or adb commands, just skip all of this madness and grab a flashable .zip that contains a file manager! ~
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here, kids.
If you don't have a flashable file manager, just grab the one I made on the WildChild ROM thread (Post #1). Copy the .zip to your SD Card. Done. Don't ever worry about flashing a ROM without a file manager ever again.

I will give this a try.Looks interesting

Danceoff, this is for people who are trying to PREPARE for flashing ROMs on the fly. Ie. They have access to market, file explorer etc NOW but won't LATER when they actually do the flash.
I don't have service right now so my phone is basically a tiny tablet, and I'm a flash-a-holic. i flash ROMs on break at work, on the bus, etc. This is very handy for me. Thank you.

something new!

simple way to extract files from *.img is put in your sdcard (ex: system.img), mount to folder and backup using tar
Code:
cd /mnt/sdcard
mkdir -f system
busybox mount -o loop,ro system.img system
busybox tar -cf system.tar system
busybox umount system
you got your system.img content in system.tar file. if you extract in linux you got original file attributes.

it is not easy on phone but on computor it becomes easy
bro this for windows 7 and series that is easy for u r using linux but we are not using it

Somekill i know ur purpose but i think irfan info is very usefull.
Why don't u make this thread general information to extract *.img from windows and linux.
If u don't have good knowledge of linux (same with me - lol) u can add link to irfan or other member that have knowledge to share.
This can be usefull thread not only in sgy but other device i think and hope usefull info not gone with spam or junk thead.
All we need is usefull information and applicable to sgy so can make our device more better.

Install APKs the Easy Way [PC]

This is kind of a common knowledge thing. But just in case someone out there isn't aware of this simple little application (that is free to download) I thought I would share it here.
I have included the application in the zip file. It's pretty self explanatory to use but if you have a question just post it and someone will know the answer.
1. Download the package and unzip.
2. Run the application "ApkInstaller"
3. Drag and drop your APK files into the application
4. Connect your device to your PC via USB
5. Right click anywhere inside the application and select all APKs
6. Run installer
7. Wait for it to finish and enjoy

True... but I hate having things in my internal storage / sdcard that are not necessary. And this allows me to keep ALL of my apps (their current versions) in one place... and allows me to do a much faster batch install. A clean install. Not a restore from backup like in Titanium Backup (which causes problems at times).

built a new folder in sd. copy apk in
and install it with phone file exploer

copy to folder is the best way to install application
