I have made a system app update zip file for cm6 it will update the following apps on the system:
also now it will remove the old apps from /data/app
Supper user by chainsdd
Gmail
Voice search
Twitter
Amazon mp3
Maps
Rommanager
Facebook
Youtube
Car home
Quick search
This will keep more of your memory free for more apps!
Oh and the zip file will have the date of the last time it was updated, which will be on a regular basis so check my blog: twon23.blogspot.com the download links on there
hopefully this might save some people a bit of time.
I did quite a few searches to see if this would be a duplicate post, but came up with nothing so forgive me if this is a duplicate post.
I've had my Tab since March 2011, and one of the first apps I installed from the Market was Spare Parts. This app fixed a problem with some apps not scaling to the full screen size of the Tab. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13047313&postcount=2
The problem with this fix is that it causes Netflix to lag horribly.
Solution: Check the Compatibility Mode box in Spare Parts and reboot.
Apktrack
ApkTrack is a simple Android application which periodically checks if your installed apps can be updated.
It was created for users who don't want to use the Google Play Store, but still need to know when new APKs are available for their apps. ApkTrack performs simple website scraping to grab the latest versions of packages present on the device.
This application is distributed under the terms of the GPL v3 License
Usage
See the attached screenshot for a preview of the application.
Click on an application to perform a manual version check.
The buttons at the top are used to respectively search the installed application list and perform a version check for all applications.
That's it!
Things to keep in mind:
Applications are *not* updated automatically. You still have to find a way to download the latest APKs and sideload them yourself. ApkTrack is simply here to tell you that the update is available.
The application will perform HTTP requests both on demand and silently. You can configure whether mobile data should be used for background checks in the settings.
ApkTrack uses regular expressions to scrape webpages, so it may cease to work without notice if the target websites are modified.
Although there is a background service checking for updates every day, it may get killed by the OS. Remember to check for updates manually in the application from time to time.
Changelog:
Code:
0-----------------------------------------------------------------------------0
| Changelog: |
0-----------------------------------------------------------------------------0
2.1.2:
------
* Features
- You can now configure a proxy in the settings. It will be used to check
for updates, but *NOT* for APK downloads and searches.
- Downloaded APKs can now be cleaned from the settings screen.
- Added an option to ignore apps for which no update source could be found.
* Update Sources & Search Engines
- Timeouts between version checks have been reduced, which makes the
process of checking all apps much faster.
- Updated the direct download regexp for F-Droid as their layout had
slightly changed.
- Added a new search engine, APK-DL.
* Translations
- Japanese translation contributed by Naofumi F. Thanks!
* Permissions
- A new permission (REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES) is required to be able to
install APKs on Oreo.
* Supported Devices
- ApkTrack should work on Android O.
* Bugfix
- Fixes a major bug caused by ProGuard in F-Droid builds which prevented
users from entering the setting.
2.1.1:
------
* UI
- The app's design was materialized by Tetsuo55.
- Icons have been vectorized (also by Tetsuo55).
- The last check date is now relative (i.e. "10 minutes ago").
* Update Sources
- Removed the Nightly (Firefox) update source, because their website keeps
changing and the app has built-in update capabilities anyway.
- Fixed the WhatsApp update source. Support has been added in the AppBrain
proxy and this source will be phased out in later versions.
* Version Checks:
- Version checks for Google Play Services now ignore the part of the
version number identifying the architecture and DPI of the device.
* Supported Devices:
- ApkTrack now works on Android N.
2.1.0:
------
* APK Downloads
- The OS' download service is now used directly instead of proxying
requests through the installed browser.
- Downloads respect the user's preference regarding which networks are
OK to use (WiFi / mobile data).
- Downloaded APKs can be installed directly from ApkTrack's UI.
* Permissions
- ApkTrack needs a new permission (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) to write
downloaded APKs to the sdcard.
* UI
- Fixed a longstanding issue where the last check date could overlap
the action icon (that one really bugged me).
* Settings
- Added options to ignore all system / Xposed apps in a single click.
A screen dedicated to managing ignored apps is still warranted.
- Added a preference allowing users who enabled background checks to
automatically download new APKs when they become available.
* Update Sources
- Merged the 9Folders update source (only used for com.ninefolders.hd3)
into the AppBrain proxy, because of new anti-scraping countermeasures.
2.0.4:
------
* Source detection
- ApkTrack will set the right update source for itself (upstream or
F-Droid) depending on who signed the APK.
- The source for all Xposed modules is now detected automatically.
- The F-Droid app is now correctly handled by the F-Droid source.
* Miscellaneous
- Moved the ApkTrack APKs to a server with more bandwidth.
- Version checks for ApkTrack now take place over HTTPS.
- Updated German translation.
* Bugfixes
- Fixed a widespread crash triggered during the initialization
of the app.
- Fixed a problem with icon resizing for devices with uncommon DPI.
- Minor bugfixes for crashes reported through ACRA.
2.0.3:
------
* Security
- Communications with the AppBrain proxy and crash report service now take
place over HTTPS.
- Certificates used by those websites are bundled with ApkTrack to prevent
man in the middle attacks.
* Translations
- Updated Polish translation.
- Added Italian translation.
* Bugfixes
- Resolved a race condition potentially leading to random crashes.
- The AppBrain update source returned a malformed result when it doesn't
have version information for particular apps (i.e. org.eff.actioncenter).
This is now handled gracefully so other update sources can be tried.
- Fixed the "currently updating" icon getting hidden because of screen
rotations.
2.0.2:
------
* Automated crash reports
- ACRA has been integrated to the app in order to submit stacktraces when
ApkTrack crashes (no data is sent without user consent).
- New settings were created to control whether bug reports should be sent.
- A privacy policy was written to describe how bug data and user data is
handled in general.
* Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug introduced in 2.0.1 triggered when trying to resize
non-square icons.
- Fixed a bug causing a crash with VectorDrawables for devices without
Lollipop.
- Fixed a bug where trying to determine the network type (WiFi / data) would
cause a crash.
2.0.1:
------
* Miscellaneous bugfixes
- Oversized icons no longer break the UI.
- Download URLs for Xposed apps are now obtained correctly.
- App uninstallations now also delete stored icons in the database.
2.0.0:
------
* Ignoring irrelevant apps
- When detecting apps present on the device, disabled apps are ignored by
default.
- Apps can be swiped to indicate that they should stop being displayed in
the UI and be ignored in subsequent update checks.
- An option was added in the settings to reset ignored apps.
* Detecting installed apps
- The full app detection is only done once, during the first launch. All
subsequent updates (packages added and/or removed from the system) are
now detected through Intents sent by the system.
- ApkTrack and its background services now communicate with the help of an
Event Bus, which allows complex information to be passed reliably. Model
modifications trigger notifications on this event bus, which tell the
applist which information should be refreshed. Thanks to this, there are
no more loadings when the model is updated.
- It shouldn't be possible for ApkTrack to miss apps that are installed,
removed or updated with this new design. So I'm removing the "Redetect
installed apps" button which wasn't very elegant nor user-friendly.
* Database overhaul
- ApkTrack now uses Sugar ORM to perform its database operations (branch
1.x contained a lot of manual SQL queries). The codebase is much cleaner
and easier to maintain now.
- Icons have been moved to a separate table, which allows ApkTrack to read
all the application info without eating up the device's RAM. From now on,
Icons are only loaded when they need to be displayed.
* Update sources
- ApkTrack can guess the default update source for some predetermined apps
based on their digital signature or their package name.
- The structure of sources.json has been changed. It is more complex now,
but it allows contributors to specify per-package regular expressions in
case the information for multiple apps is hosted on a single webpage.
Formerly, it would have been necessary to create an update source per
package in some cases.
- It is also possible to specify a regular expression to locate an APK
download link on the page. This will allow more direct downloads to be
provided.
- F-Droid, Mirakel, Xposed Stable / Beta now all provide direct APK
downloads.
* Misc
- Build system switched to Gradle to make third-party builds easier.
- ApkTrack will now remember across reboots whether you want to display
system apps or not.
- Searches are more flexible, and any part of the name or package name
can now be matched (not just the beginning as it was the case).
- Apps with vector icons are now displayed correctly on devices with an API
level >= 21.
- Manual changes to the update source are immediately reflected in the UI.
- The spinning icon which indicates that an app is currently being checked
isn't lost anymore when the app list is refreshed, sorted or updated.
- Notifications will not be displayed more than once for each updated app
(ApkTrack 1.1 would keep display notifications until the app was
upgraded).
Known issues:
-------------
* Swiping the app at position N, then scrolling down and up causes a blank
line to be displayed at position N-1.
* ApkTrack's APKs are still distributed over HTTP because the server uses a
self-signed certificate.
* If Greenify puts ApkTrack into hibernation, app installations, deletions
and upgrades will be missed. At the moment, the issue may be circumvented
by waking ApkTrack and performing the installation again, or deleting
ApkTrack's data to force a full re-detection.

I'm glad to see someone finds my app useful! Do you mean the possibility to sort applications depending on whether they can be updated or not? This is a great idea, I'll implement it!

Yeah excatly something like that, when apktrack finds like an update to an app the apps that need go get updated gets sorted fo the top so you dont have to scroll through the list to find which apps that needs to get updated and so on.. Awesome ill be following this project bro.
The code and APK have been updated as suggested by your feedback!
Applications are now sorted by status (whether they have been updated or not) by default, but it is possible to switch back to alphabetical sort.
Parsing Package problem
Tablet PMT7787_3G Jelly Bean 4.2.2 It givse me parsing package error. Works fine on KitKat
it works
Thanks buddy for your work. it works in d802 (LG G2) cm-12-20150217-NIGHTLY-d802. But i can't update apps. it says there is a new version available. press the circle but nothing happens.
Are you only scraping google play or do you also check places like the amazon appstore and f-droid.org? If so, how do you handle app's that are in multiple locations? For example if I purchased an app at amazon appstore (or got it as the free app of the day) I can only use the latest version on that appstore even if google play has a newer version. Amazon appstore is usually always behind google play in versions. In some cases f-droid (open source app store) will have versions compiled without ads where google play may have versions with. (The simplest solution may be to let the user pick the location to check for each app?)
Forgot to mention if you used xposed framework the module updates might be worthy of tracking as well. http://repo.xposed.info/module-overview

Could you post a stacktrace? I assume this is because the required API version in the AndroidManifest.xml is 19 (4.4+). This is probably a very conservative choice, but I have no devices using anterior versions to run tests. I'll try to post an APK compatible with more Android versions soon.

I'll quote my first post : "applications are *not* updated automatically. You still have to find a way to download the latest APKs and sideload them yourself. ApkTrack is simply here to tell you that the update is available."
Simply put, I finding the latest version of an APK reliably is not always easy (I usually have to do some googling myself).

I scrape Google Play, then if I get a message like "Varies with device" I try appbrain.com.
Sadly, I don't track versions on an app store basis. ApkTrack was really made in mind with the idea of downloading APKs and installing them through adb. Doesn't the Amazon app store already notify you of available updates?
One of the features I would like to implement in the future would be custom web scraping though (let the user specify the webpage and regular expression). I'll look into F-Froid too.
And thanks for the Xposed modules idea, I'll definitely implement that!
Just the app I was looking for. Working on 4.4.4 Oneplus Mahdi
Reminds me of AppWatch, but without being limited to just the Play Store. Cool idea. I'm gonna try it out.

Using Greenify and Xprivacy my appstores don't notify me of anything until I actually run them. Have you considered taking the full app name and kicking it into a google (or better yet startpage.com since it anonymizes the search but uses same parms as google) search maybe with additional keywords like "apk" and "download"? This would point folks to where they might be able to download the updated module. A similar technique is used by windows software update checker "sumo" (software update monitor) A similar idea would be to do the same with an appstore search of where the update was located...minimal code is needed since you are just kicking an url to be opened to the browser via the "view" feature.

ApkTrack has no fancy icon Feel free to design one!
I am by no means an Android developper. This is a project I hacked quickly because I was tired of checking updates manually. If you are learning Android development, what you see in the code should definitely not be considered best practice. You're welcome to point out what I did wrong, though!

This is fantastic! I use Raccoon to download apps to my computer before manually transferring them to my phone, and when i wanted to check if there was an update out for an app i'd have to check one by one the apps on Raccoon, This is going to be a huge time saver.

That's another great idea. I will work on that in the upcoming weeks!
Very interesting project!
Someone suggested sorting option. I'd go one step ahead and request you to implement a feature which could hide non play store apps
@JusticeRage, this project sounds promising, however when I tested that, some of the applications were saying they are not uptodate, like CM Browser (I'm in beta programm), Naked Browser (maybe there is some problem with APK version?), Google Drive and Google Camera etc.
Also time ago I posted this question : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2988051 ... Maybe this can be implemented with your application ? So in this case I would rather prefer to highlight such disappering aps. rather then filtering them out.
Another option to jump on app from to the list to GooglePlay or searching on web for apk or alternate repository (ApToide) would be really nice. ?
Working fine here. Now This is my ChangelogDroid replacement, because its not working on my device with MUI rom. Keep update this app & would be nice if you push it to playstore.
Hey guys! I've been suffering WhatsApp force close for months.
Details
- CyanogenMod 11 (last build)
- GT-S7275R
- Full Gapps Package Installed
More people has this problem, and I've been looking for the cause, but I didn'r find anything related.
The exact problem is that while using the phone (also when screen is swiched off) WhatsApp forces close. You can only accept and when you open WhatsApp again, conversation chats are damaged and you have to restore it. In rares cases, doesn't appear any chat, and have to unistall Whatsapp and reinstall it to restore conversations.
A lot of people from my blog has reported this problem, however, not everyone has this "bug", so I'm comparing apps and system configuration that people who has that problem has set.
I started to research yesterday, and I conclude that it's not a system setting problems, due to WhatsApp is the only app that forces close.
Owing to it, I think the problem is an app that causes conflict with WhatsApp.
I have some suspicious apps that can cause it:
(EDIT: I've been investigating more and I dismiss some apps)
- GravityBox
- Clean Master
- SwiftKey Keyboard
- BusyBox
- Pimp my ROM (I think is this app)
- Change stock launcher (for example, ADW Launcher)
I've to talk with more friends to see is they're using one of that apps and having WhatsApp FC simultaneously.
Also, I thinking that Gapps could be realted to the problem. Nervetheless I haven't ask for which gapps did they use (people with that problem).
So I'm doing this thread to find a solution, because I've tried a lot of things and didn't work.
That's all. Waiting replies. Sorry for my bad english :silly:

WhatsApp freeze
Even my WhatsApp's been freezing for the last few months. I'm using Samsung S5 and S6 both with Exynos processor.
Incase of a solution please post it here.

FAQ
Q: On which Android versions does this work?
A: Android 4.4 KitKat and Android 5 Lollipop and higher. You'll also need WebView (Android 5 & 6) or Google Chrome (Android 7+) to run on the latest version (older versions probably work, but are not supported).
Q: Peregrine Browser says it runs on Chrome 42. When will you upgrade to Chrome x?
A: Peregrine Browser uses the WebView component from the system.
It is recomended that you use the WebView from Google (Android 5+), because it will be updated to the latest version.
On Android 7+, Google Chrome could also be used as WebView component.
Therefore, Google needs to update that and not me.
Q: A website I want to visit won't open.
A: We block some websites because of their content (for example, sites that could contain malware). Try disabling AdBlock or Safe Browsing.

Alright, will test tomorrow. (And edit this post if works)
Edit: version control doesn't work. Will try updating through xda labs.
Edit2: also doesn't work it identify my browser version as same with version on xda labs. Ill uninstall and reinstall. But I think problem here may be you only change revision tags, so xda labs doesn't recognize.
Okay, bug fixed. I have not found any other bugs thus far, great job! Maybe chipset specific versions? Just a suggestion...
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Labs
For some reason Labs won't update Browse, even after I changed the revision tags.
I will display a pop-up on the homescreen when there is an update available, with an instruction how to install it (in future versions it will install automatically).
I've tested chipset specific versions, however the size of the app is the same as the universal one (for all architectures) and the performance as well.

Peregrine Browser: version 2
As you might have noticed, Browse changed it's name to Peregrine Browser. I didn't like Browse as name. Several people told me that the browser is fast, so I changed the name to Peregrine Browser, from the Peregrine Falcon. The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest animal on the planet.
The name is not the only thing that has changed: the icon and look are also updated.
Version 2 also comes with some new features and bug fixes:
- New permission handling. When websites want access to your location, camera or microphone, you can chose to allow or deny access (Like the permission handling on Android 6 Marshmallow and higher).
- Added App Shortcuts.
- Fixed Arabic language not showing correctly in bookmarks and history.
- Several other improvements.
I'll work on future versions on these features:
- Adding custom websites to Quick access.
- More translations.
And more.
Notice:
In this build are camera and microphone permissions added. This is so websites could use your camera or microphone, the browser itself does not collect any data with those permissions. On Marshmallow and later, those permissions are only requested when you open a website which wants access to those permissions and you click "allow".
Hey, for a couple of months I've using your little browser as my main.
I have encountered some problems recently tho:
When opening a link from any other app, the browser adds out of nowhere a "http//" (without the : ) to the URL, failing to parse it.
And, since the renaming to Peregrine and adding the night mode, I never have it working properly. I setup it to work between 00.00 and 7.00 am, but then I apply the changes and the main page turns in the night mode in the midst of the day. Am I missing something?
Thank you a lot. By far is the most light and fast browser I've ever tried.

The bug with http// has been fixed internally. If you remove the http://http// part it should load. The browser tries to load a https:// page instead of a http:// one, but apparently there was a bug when loading links from other apps.
I've had issues with night mode aswell, however I haven't found the cause of that problem yet.
I'm also trying to prevent further issues with Google after they blocked an update to the Play Store after violating YouTube's Terms of Service. I don't know what actually was wrong, another update a few days later was allowed.
