I'm looking for a .apk Manager.
Not for one on my phone, or to organize the apps on my phone.
What I'm looking for is a Windows application, Win7 64bit compatible, that will organize my 4.7gb worth of .apk's i have on my computer. Ideally, automatically detecting version numbers, and removing old versions of the same app etc.
Good idea, I just use appbrain on my phone.
ps: change the title to [REQ] as there is no app in here.
Sounds like someone had fun downloading a lot of apps?

Ahh yes, i should have had it [REQ] vs [APP], you are right. I cannot find a way to change the thread title tho, or i would happily.

<smirk> links are not allowed on here for that sort of thing, but sufficed to say, i use two websites to <cough> obtain <cough> my apps.
Of that 4.7gb of .apk's I'm sure at least 30-40% of that (hell quite possibly more) is outdated versions. Just too much hassle to manually sort through them all.

I got a tattoo. It's nice but the whole approach to different resolutions is just bull****. The short story: I can't get **** unless I can find a non-market download on the internet. For certain apps like meebo, astro, etc I can't find any.
Does anyone know where, when and how my device identitifies itself to the market. Did anyone experiment yet with changing the Id in the device itself or maybe spoofing it during initial communication?
I found a marketplace enabler but it only spoofs countries.
Not Dev & Hack related. Moving to Q&A.

oops, my bad!
I'll have a look for ya..
I'm not sure if this is allowed, but since it's a direct link from beejive.com, I think it should be? I'm not actually in the beta.
http://beejive.com/android/beta/BeejiveIM.apk
If not, can a mod please delete the thread? Thanks
I might give it a try. I don't IM much these days but it's still nice to have a good client there for when you need it..
ATM i'm using the official msn messenger for android (without ads mod).
Do msn have official apps on android? What the name of the app?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
It's called MSN Droid.
Edit: Actually I'm not too sure if that's the official app, sorry.

still in beta and the UI is pretty good.
yet the function is rather poor.
No it's not msn droid.
It's official msn, but developed by PICA (chinese company http://www.pica.com/)
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/messenger_cbpe.html
I'm don't think it's available in english market, so heres a link to the apk (it is a free app, not warez) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BALZ1U08
It is modified to remove ads (the official one has ads >_<)

Need to hide app icon in notification bar, its truly annoying.
needs work but pretty good so far...will be paying for it once it becomes available...
Nice
Seems to work pretty good. I like the ease. It does appear to be on all the time though but I've not seen a significant battery drop to warrant removing it. Really wish they would have opened the beta up for more people, I hated just downloading it but not being able to participate in bug posting.
Actually you can participate, Maybe not bugs, but fatal errors that cause the app to crash you can send email logs of when the app crashed directly to them. After the app has a force close it will ask you if you want to send the log when the app crashed to them by e-mail.

You have to rename the file to change it to .apk file. (at the moment it's named BejiveIM.apk.zip)
If you have file extensions hidden then unhide them and remove the .zip and save.
I was getting a "Timedout" and then "no client key" yesterday but the app started to work again late last night. I'm not too sure I like the size of the icon like others have said, but I do like its the most stable out of the clients I've tried without draining my battery.... much.
Palringo is way better

Agree! Reason I uninstalled after a few hours. Besides that the app icon seems larger than any of the others I have. But not being able to disable the icon in the notification bar is extremely annoying!!

Hi, Thanks for posting this. I used to use it on my Berry all the time . . . I installed it from your link & imo it's the best IM client out there so far & still Beta lol! The feature that lets you email the conversation or post to twitter is sic ;-)
I'll definitely be buying this app soon as it's out officially.
yeah this app isnt bad at all, it seems close to trillian it will come down to 5 things...
-features
-batterylife
-speed/lag between IMs
-reliable connection
-price (seems like trillian will be free)
Hi everyone.
I want to ask about program called EReader that's placed in most ROMs for EVO 3D and in ROM Cool-ICS-v13-EvoG too.
I want to know how can I install it to other device?
When I copying it from system folder and trying to install on my ZT-282 C91 Upgrade or other android device it's giving me error and tells that application was not installed.
Please help me with this trouble. On the next week I need to fly far away from civilization and there only books will be available and I'd like to read them on my 10" pad but not on 4.5" smartphone.
Some apps have a data file as well. Maybe you should try copying the data folder over too.
Hit thanks if you found this useful.
Tried too
Thank you for answer.
Can you help me and tell which files and folders must be copied with it?

There is another ereader app here.
http://www.filecrop.com/75657959/index.html
or
https://aldiko.zendesk.com/entries/...n-2-1-0-of-the-aldiko-book-reader-application
or
http://www.filecrop.com/31474921/index.html
The second and third are Aldiko ereaders. Mirrors of eachother. Just use the official second one. Or if it doesn't work, the third one. If you are not happy, use the first one.
download it using the mediafire link.
And you should get an APK. That is an App. Put it on your sd then in your 10". Then use a file manager to install it. If you do not have one, install astro from the market. Then go into your sd with that app. Click on the file then install.
Anyway, back to your prob. You will have to copy the directory (ereader) from the system. And maybe the DATA folder.
It will not be compatible the way you did it because they are two different devices. Copying the system whole will not work.
Also, as a side note. If a post is helpful. Hit the thanks button. Helpers will appreciate it more. I will help you regardless but others may not.
Lets try and get this fixed before your trip. Good to see your reading, expanding. What you reading anyway?
Thank you for helping me.
Readers that you advised are haven't page turning effect like com.htc.ereader and it's sad.
I've started to read many different book cause of that effect )))
I like to read books of fantasy gender and documental books about famous people like Nicola Tesla and other who did a lot useful things for humanity.
If its com.htc.ereader then it is probably an HTC sense application which we all know cannot be brought to a non sense ROM.
And that ROM you linked is sense 3.6. So I'm putting big money on the table its a sense app

Hello All,
I have been working on customizing my Sprint S3 for a while, this forum as usual has been so immensely helpful.
I have modified several key things, i prefer to not use the kitchen, not thats it not useful but the main tools just work for me( apktool, smali.jar, baksmali.jar)
I have been poking and prodding every file in the stock S3 rom that I got from XDA, it is DeOdexed which frankly is so much easier to work with.
Without me ranting and boring all of you to death, I want to know if anyone has a list of apps that I can add to the system/app folder and work right out of the rom when I start it. Just flash rom and they work.
Examples:
I know for a fact the following work by simply dropping them into the system/app folder
esexplorer
Titanium Backup
Safe wallet
Amazon app store
The issue is not every app I "place" inside this folder will install, in fact they cause crashes if opened in the rom after installation. I read here somewhere that certain apps install libraries and need to be installed manually, but I am sure that something can be done to be mitigated for this issue would allow me to install more apps like AdAway and many more instead of me modifying the hosts file. Is this even possible or would this be a developer issue that is not meant to be solved as I do not understand how some apps work flawlessly and some just fail miserably. I have even heard to install with a flashable zip but come on I mean 4 more clicks to get a rom working the way I want nahhh.
Not Sure
So, got some views, must be a tough one to answer, I figured when an APK is installed, it is similar to when a program is installed and folders are created on its own, I suppose I lack knowledge on how some programs do not require such things and others require manual installation. Anyone have any insight on my logic?

Can't help you sorry about that but i just wanted to give my opinion on this
i wouldn't appreciate it when i buy a computer that it got preinstalled things like itunes because i maybe have a iPod or iPad and especially nto when it's hard to remove
If google killed the drag and drop hey i added an app to the system behavior i would like to say this to them
Thanks you google!
Why add app to a ROM when user can download them from the play store?
And if you want to add them so badly why not add them to /data/app so they are easier to delete for regular users?

I've actually looked into this and it looks like to get stuff to work right when you stick it in /system/app, you need to add lib files into the apk itself and then drop it in /system/app

ROMs never depend on xposed
cooked aka winzipped ROMs maybe do but well that's not a proper way to make a ROM
If users want xposed they can just install it no problem
DSP manager easy just drop the sources files in the folder and build easy as that
and if you really want to "winzip" a rom you can just add the libs for DSP Manager to the system/lib folder
if you take a look at the sources https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager
you'll see a folder called cyanogen-dsp if you look in there and open the Android.mk file you can just easily spot the two modief files for DSP manager
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager/blob/cm-10.2/cyanogen-dsp/Android.mk
one is a conf file and one is a lib
but well just building from source is way better and even easier...
How about you build me a Touchwiz rom from source then.

I am new to the app scene. I was curious if there was a way to store apps locally, without the need of sales/Play Store/Amazon Store/etc.
I am just looking at storing it locally on a phone, or possibly a tablet, to show to potential clients. And also for portfolio purposes, down the road.
Again, I am a self-professed "noob", so all help is appreciated.
Thank you.

unless it is your personal app, you will need to get it from one of the stores at some point.
some apps can be downloaded by other means, but that is highly frowned upon, and against the rules to even discuss here (so please dont comment back on it).
if your device is rooted, you could use an app like titanium to make a backup of all the apps. then they would be saved locally, but i dont know how compatible that backup would be if you tried to restore it on other devices.
i would think if its a paid app, there is likely some entitlement verification coded into the app. so if it cant verify through one of the stores, it likely wont work properly if at all.
It would be apps that I build. So it would be for my own personal use. Like I said, it's to show potential clients. I would be using it to show how an app works, as a display to the client.
It will be my work. And it will be strictly for my clients.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks.

once you install an app on any device, from any source, you can use
1.apk extractor
2.es file explorer
to have the apk file, which can then be run on other devices as an installer.
or, you could dowbnload the apk straight from google play, search how with the search button.
Ok help me understand this.
It will be your app. One you make for your clients. which would mean your doing all the coding and building of the app, But you dont know how to store a simple apk on your device?

Yea, that was kind of confusing me too.
If you build the app, you can store and show it on any device its compatible.
