[Q] How do I install multiple apps with my app - Android Software Development

I am creating an app that requires a couple of other apps... my first idea was to check to see if the app is installed if not open the market page so the user could d/l. Now it looks like that won't work, I need to know if it is possible to bundle the other .apks with my app somehow so that when my app is installed it will also install the other required apps. Can this be done?

I'm also wondering this

Which rom are u using. To access system partition on NAND, or if the rom requires ext partition, then obviously the apps will be on sd card if it requires ext.So you need root access. Try it with root explorer app.

Did you also download the free version? Pro download is only the registration key! You need to install both.

Is there anything out there with the ability to backup that doesn't require rotting?
my backup pro, it's what i use tbh i dont always root

No because in order to do a full backup you need R/W Access to the /system and /Data folders
See above you don't have to have root to read only to write.
most of the apps you will back up won't need write access check it out on the market or try it yourself

AFAIK You need root to read from /system and /data/data/ but maybe im wrong. i know for a fact that you need root to even read /system. go check with a file explorer that dosent need root
your right with what your say but for backup you won't need access you don't need to back up system apps anyway.

maybe for my HTC thunderbolt but not his samsung galaxy s i told him to look for that first
I'm pretty sure I have read from somewhere that phones released for Verizon by Samsung don't allow you to install non-market applications (this is requested by Verizon, so it's not really Samsung's fault). The only way to have that feature is to flash some custom rom.
I watched a video on how to root this phone and there is a one click root and the program has a button that will change it so it will allow non market apps but I want to know if it has to be rooted or not to do it

For non-market apps your device doesn't have to be rooted.
Only if you want to use apps that require root.

Flashed CM7-- can't download

I rooted my aria and flashed cm7. Love the look and feel of it so far. The only problem I've ran into is that I can't download some things, (games,PDF, videos, apk )both in market and web. Is there some settings I need to change.
Thanks for any help

If you are in the US on ATT, go to the Market and try downloading "Market Access". Use it to set your provider to T-Mobile US.

Are they showing up and you can't download? Or are they not appearing at all?

They start but then disappear. I can pull the notification bar and watch them show up for a brief sec. That's it.

I think he meant "market enabler". But that's for fooling the market so you can download apps that otherwise wouldn't show up for you. Its a neat app but not related to your problem if its just the download problem.
Try this: menu>settings>applications>manage applications>all>market. Clear cache and clear data. See if that helps.

I'm not sure that it's his problem, but I did mean Market Access. It's an improvment on Market Enabler and AD Free. It's on this site, not the Market.

Thanks but that didn't work either. I'm waiting on a 32gb SD card so I can transfer all my apps. Then I'll wipe and reflash and see what happens. Thanks for the help I'll. Post an update on the out come.

Try this: menu>settings>applications>Running Services>all>Google Services Framework. Clear Data and Force Stop if it doesn't automatically. Then Reboot and see if it worked
I wiped dalvik, and formatted and reflashed cm7 again with Google add-on. And now I can download the apps I wasn't able to.

What is filter installer?

From what I understand it is the process that filters apps that don't work for your phone. However, I've ran carat and it says I need to restart or kill it to obtain 5 hours of battery life. Can I disable it or what can I do? I am running stock rom, not rooted, completely stock. Thanks so much!

Don't know if you're still having this issue a month later.
Based on what you read, you can just disable it. You don't need a filter installer or a method of filter apps for your device. When you attempt to install apps for your device, the play store will let you know before installing that the app is compatible with your device.

Hi guys, are you sure that is the case? That the market app will check? I know it scans for malicious apps now in 2017/18, but what if you install an app on beta from dev's web site?? Durant the Filter Installer then kick in???
Cheers
