system update efficiently? - General Questions and Answers

I would like
system update -> download apps updates -> optimize apps
I only update apps when on wifi,
so I get either
1) Downloading apps while downloading system update then apps would optimize then system update -> app re-optimize -> some apps then re-download re-optimize etc
Or
2) I temporarily disable app download/update till system update is finished. Then existing apps are optimized, then when I re-enable app updates. They are downloaded and new versions optimized.

How make apps installed from other sources "market-updateable" ?

The apps installed from my PC is not available for "updates" via the android market as it was not installed via the android market. How do i make these apps look like theyve been installed from the market and hence receive updates for them ...
ALSO , is there some app that checks if updates are available for ALL the apps installed on the device ??
Go to settings
Remove market data and cache
Reboot
All are there
worked for me
And yes the market itself checks for updates

[APP][2.1+][updated v5.20]SystemCleanup Freeze/Delete SysApps move Apps2Sys

This App can move updated Systemapps Like Maps,Market or Search, back to /system/app and save space on /data/app
AND... you'll get a notification if such an app is updated via Market !!! (if you Like )
for this is *** ROOT *** required !!
### if something doesnt work Please use the "SendDump" function of SystemCleanup and write me a short description of your problem its better then writing your problem in Market Comments. i cant answer there nor can i ask you for details. ###
if aktual version doesnt work well on your phone here is the latest "known to work" on pre android 5 (lollipop) phones !!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64542544&postcount=552
from Android 5 and up Systemcleanup can only work correct if you set SELinux to "permissive mode" (i.e. on Samsung Phones you need a Custom Kernel) !!!

Hello inteks,
nice work so far, but: Neither "Update" nor "Freeze" works on my rooted Xperia Neo. After calling "Update System Files" on the Market app (i also tried Facebook and Youtube) i pressed return and the app asks to reboot which i did. After the reboot nothing changed. The app's updates are still on the /data partition and no memory was gained.
Am i missing something? I already tried removing and reapplying su rights from superuser, but it did not help.
cheers,
m.

sorry, till now i only test it on a custom kernel where the systempartion is RW mounted per default.
i'll fix that asap
ps:you can try mounting system partition RW with rootexplorer
Hello inteks,
i tried to remounting via adb and ... it worked! Thanks! Now i can regain preciouos space on my (xperia neo limited) /data partition.
If you implemented automatic "rw-remounting" now (for the folks who still use the good old stock kernels), we'd have an even greater app!
cheers,
m.

yepp busybox is needed. but it's part of a rooted system, or not ?
update version v1.5:
-automaticly checks for updated systemfiles wenn a package is updated (i.e. market) and shows a notify if a package exists in /system AND /data. (systemcleanup doesnt need to run in background! it register itself for 'package_replaced' intent ;o)
I gave it a try with V1.5 on my Neo, here are my results.
I moved the updated Maps, Market, YouTube and Flash Player to system:
1. These packets do not replace the old ones in system so you get more space in data but you waste space in system. Though you can delete the old apps by hand.
2. After moving these apps to system and rebooting the phone SystemCleanup gets force closed while searching for apps.
3. After manually deleting the old Maps, Market and YouTube system apps, and renaming the updated apks accordingly (i.e. com.bla.vending-1.apk to Vending.apk) the FC of SystemCleanup stopps and it can be used again.
So it's a nice app but it still needs more work before I would consider donating.

You are wrong. The app cleans up the duplicates in system/app on reboot, which you are prompted to do on exit. You are probably getting force closes because you are deleting the duplicates by hand instead of letting the app do it's job.

Nope, I let the phone reboot from the prompt of SystemCleanup and after getting the FCs I did reboot it a few times by hand. Deleting the duplicates by hand actually fixed the FCs in the end.
Maybe it's a similiar error to what mhoofe had, because im on stock rom and kernel the system partition is mounted read-only after a reboot.

There is no "update system file" choice, I only have "Move App to /system/app", "Uninstall App", "Launch App" and "Search Market for Updates". That's even when it informs me when I updated a system app from the market.

I don't think so, root explorer can move apps to system without a problem. So manually updating and moving system apps isn't a problem. Moving normal apps from data to system also isn't a problem with your app, it's just system apps that don't work right.
Or is the "update system file" option only available in the donate version?

maybe one thing ... is your phone connected to pc ? the prog makes a backup to sdcard befor overwriting the org file. if the backup fails it breaks the action.

I've used this app twice in the past couple of days to move the Market and Gmail updates to system and it worked flawlessly both times so I'm going to have to say that your problem is specific to your device.

update version v1.6:
-in settings you can now set the default installation location for packagemanager (auto,internal,sdcard)
-you can also decide if you like to get a notification when system apps are updated.

Question about deleting system apps

If I delete system apps will the Shield still allow me to install OTA updates?
I think it was my Tranformer Prime that didn't allow me to do any OTA updates if it had detected a change in the system apps present. There are a lot of trash apps on the Shield that I would love to delete. (Mostly all the google apps I don't use)
Edit - I just tried it and it works. The update just replaces the deleted apps.

update system apps without reinstall

Hi friends today i want to share my discovery about system apps like google play, google play services and all google apps and stock apps. They are all continuesly update in new version. the new update is store in internal memory and may consume more ram and memory and obviously cause battery drain more fast. So here is the most accurate and simple method to make update apps into rom memory easily and whithout uninstall the apps.
First make update of system apps through google play.
Second make an apk file of the app through rom toolbox or any other software you like
3ed use x-plore or rom file manager and copy the updated apk file into system app folder or wher private app folder where the app is present and overwrite it.
4th restart or reboot phone
That's all the updated version will automatically install into rom
Problem solved
Thank you friends
very agge

Navigate to System/priv-app and exclude the FotaClient.apk and FotaClient.odex if you are on KitKat. For Lollipop exclude the Folder FotaClient with all content...
No more update notification... Try and let me know...
