[APPLICATION] - Android Package Installer v1.3 - User Friendly ADB - [10/03/2011]

Hello XDA,
I have created a simple GUI frontend to ADB which will perform a number of useful ADB functions including a batch APK installer, object pusher and more...
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Extract Archive 'AndroidPackageInstaller.zip'
2. Navigate to extracted directory and Launch 'Android Application Installer.exe'
3. Use any of the required options within the menu's...

nice
thanks stickman

Thankyou tnpapadakos for your appreciation

Nice, but it would be good if it is an app in android like file explorer. you just tick which apk you want to install and at 1 button, it will install all for you

nice app will install it once i get more time!

Is it in any way better than Droid Explorer's batch installer?

Is it possible to transform this into a installation method like the one provided by Cabviaactivesync for winmobile??
With the device connectd to the pc, with just two clicks, a right click over an .apk file and then choosing the installation option, could be great to install easily an apk
If you don't know cabviaactivesync, just go here to see what I'm talking about...
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo.../cabviaactivesync-free-edition-now-available/

Thanks for your app.
Does it rebuild the link with the market per single apk it installs ?

Thx man! great job!
gonna win time with it!!!!

Very nice! Thanks!!!

droid explorer is an app on the device itself
this is a PC based tool which very quickly installs many apps when the device is plugged into the PC via adb
two different things

Works perfect in my legend
thanks for for work man

Looks like a very useful tool! Can't wait to try it! Thanks Stickman!!

Take a look at AppAdmin

Can this be used to install "sideload" or non-market apps on an att phone with that feature disable? Like 'side load wonder machine', but with a batch option? If so.. Nice! Will make transferring apps from the Cap to the Atrix very simple later this week!

[UTILITY][Linux] APK Suite 0.2.1 Stable

Apk Suite Linux
This is a GUI interface designed to make (de) re-compiling android applications
exceptionally easy. This is the first Alpha so we need feedback on bugs and possible future features.
The reason the file size is so small is because it does not yet actually have the libraries downloaded, to do this simply:
Control Cenrtre => Download Required Files.
It needs to be ran as root for one time only to install aapt into the /bin/ dir. After that, root is no longer required.
You can also manually place aapt in /bin/ dir and chmod to 775 if you do not want to run the application as root.
You can find aapt HERE.
The requirements are:
Python (Version 2 or greater)
IF NEEDED: PyQt
JavaSE or OpenJDK any version.
Place APKs in 'apk' dir, run the program, it will detect them. Once decoded, refresh lists to recompile (editing the smali files, navigate to 'decoded' dir)
Once encoded from a decoded package, the file is then placed in 'encoded' dir.
Please do report any bugs.

Very good work sir!:good::good: Can I request a feature? It would be even better if we could decompile it to java code over dex2jar and jd-gui.

thanks, i have an issue:

After a little google I found it's the character 'ó', are you running APKS with a directory (includes parent) with 'ó' in the path?
The APKS code contains no such character as 'ó' or any other with accents.

Thanks, TearsDontFallTheyCrashAroundMe, I will be working on that later, right now I am busy with another project. I will take a break from that and get it to decode to Java source.

No, but to be sure i moved to /home/APKS/
still have the same error.
My linux is in french but i dont use this kind of character
i tried in root and non root user and tried to fix permission just to be sure.
Still same issue

The application does check on start-up for permissions, and file installs, that shouldn't be a problem. Allow me to go overt the code and see if this is my mistake in the mean time, could you do the following?
Open terminal, CD to the directory and run:
python APKS
Edit:
Looks over the code and there's is no 'ó'
the first line is "#! /usr/bin/python"
I will remove this as it was only to make it with with source
Thanks,
T

still same error with 'python APKS'

No problem at all
I have uploaded an updated version without specifing the "#! /usr/bin/python" this might fix your problem, as this is the only thing on line 1.
Also, ensure you have "python-qt4" - sudo apt-get -f install python-qt4
Same version, just uploaded without the tag,

I'll get a VM running in French language and see what happens and get it fixed.

Cool thanks

Ok back to home on debian wheezy 64 bits, it works
it might be a random issue with debian squeeze 32 bits french .
Thanks for your work i'll try this more.

That is cool, but I think there are different aims for the two projects as that seems a bit more general purpose as this is a lot more specific to apk decoding, singing ect...

Advanced Logcat Viewer (ALV) is a very powerful tool to work with logcats on Windows. It's easy to use and includes the most popular features when it comes to working with Android log files.
The Advanced Logcat Viewer was originally created for my IDE Virtuous Ten Studio, but I think it's useful enough to be published as a standalone version as well.
It has the same features as within VTS but is obvioulsy a much lighter package for people that don't want or need the additional functionality VTS offers.
ALV can easily do the following for you:
Grab the actual logcat from a connected device in realtime and with live updates
Highlight the log entries in different colors based on their verbosity
Dynamically filter the incoming logs with a search term, a verbosity filter or an exclude term
Save the filtered or unfiltered logcat to a text file
Upload the filtered or unfiltered logcat to pastebin for easy sharing
Load logcat entries from a text file to analyze existing logcats or from other people

This is beautiful
@Diamondback. You rock!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Really useful tool, quite handy to have it as a lighter standalone too.
Direct upload to Pastebin, and ability to import externally generated logcats are real standout features.

Suggestion...
Very nice and useful work. I have a suggestion. I have downloaded ALV and I have extracted it without the External directory which contains the adb tool. The result of starting the logcat receiver was an unhandled exception. My intention was to use the adb which I already had following the installation of the Google SDK. My suggestion for the ALV would be the following idea: try to launch External/ADB/adb.exe, then launch the adb based on the PATH environment variable then display an error if no adb tool has been found. Or simply put a browsing button and a text box populated with a default path to adb.

Sounds good and will be done in no time

Is it possible to also see the timestamps?

"The" timestamps? Logcat doesn't offer timestamps. I can of course add my own timestamps if that's what you want

Cool to see this as a standalone app. I've always used it in VTS and it is very convenient/easy to use. Great work as always sir.

@Diamondback
Checking it out now.
Ok so it runs on my windows 8.1 box.
Can I implement this into my tool(in my signature)?

Long time VTS user. It rocks. On Win 8.1. Not sure how to install this. Tried running the exe and does nothing. Feeling kinda stupid right now.
Edit: NVM got it just had to move it around manually. Working good.

For some reason it didn't want to extract to C/Program Files so I just manually moved it over so it would be in same place as VTS. Not sure why didn't want to direct extract with 7 zip. Kept getting an access denied error on Win 8. Could extract all to Desktop no problem. Had to be something on my end.

So I've added a better search for the adb binary, timestamps and some other misc things from the VTS dev branch, anything else on the wishlist? If not I'll release an update shortly

Installation
Step - 1 : Setting Up your PC!
Download The following resources first:
Java SE Run-time Environment 7 [ Java Dependencies For Signing APK tool ]
Now let's begin setting up your PC,
Install the above mentioned programs.
Go to Advanced System Properties.
It looks like this:
Go to Environment Variables, then create a new System Variable, having name JAVA_HOME and value as the path where you have installed the JRE.
It looks like this:
Now after creating the JAVA_HOME variable, search for Path system variable in the System Variables list. Now this is a bit tricky. Once found click on it and then on Edit. Move the cursor to the end of the string till you see ";" (without quotes), add the path to your JRE bin folder just after it.
It looks like this:
OK, so if everything went fine and just as what instructed then you are all good to proceed to Step - 2!
Step - 2 : Installing Cassini on your PC!
Download the latest build from the download section.
Extract the zip Cassini.[CURRENT-VERSION].zip, and execute Cassini.[CURRENT-VERSION].exe.
Now follow the Installation wizard and you are done!
It looks like this:
​
How to Use?
Firstly, open up your C: Drive and then go to Program Files [Program Files (x86) in case of 64-bit system] folder, then just look for a folder named Divya Mamgai, go in it and you will find a folder named Cassini and that's it, it is your Main directory.
Now copy your apk files to the working directory of it, and then start the program.
Now just press enter to start compressing!
Wait for the process to complete, and all your apk files will be available to be used while saving a lot of data on your device in the build folder.

You are welcome buddy!

does this work on unbutu 13.10? i guess it is for windows.
correct me if i am wrong.

Does app compression also boost file system performance in anyway? Regardless, this is great!

Su vaat che!

Are there any downsides such as a slower phone?

Could we have more info on what it does ?
Does it open apk res and compress them ?

really productive, that is. would definitely try it soon

Does this make any impact on receiving updates from the Play store? After updating would the apps be uncompressed?

by comparing at files which was compressed i can see Res and resources.arsc got compressed. and th compression ratio is great too. i was using similar method called Go Optimizer by gu5t3r without any isse and helped me saved more space in my phone.

try it out right now ... really awesome dude! thanks

this is the best tool! I'm a dev, so can I use this n the system apps of my roms before I make them into a flashable zip? Also, does this work on the framework-res.apk?

Have tried some system apps. But non of,them works after replace them.

Well I don't know accurately but check out this rom - Hyperion Xperia U , I have used Cassini in it and it really helped my device to handle multitasking in a much better way. But I won't get my hopes up in getting better performance.

[Windows ONLY][Tool][Utility][1.2][June 2] Yeti FSExplorer

To XDA's mods and admins:
I didn't post this thread using DevDB because I had to select a device... from an empty list.
Do you like to waste your time using ADB in text mode? Me neither.
I want to present Yeti FSExplorer - Windows app that will improve your Android device's file managing experience.​I wrote it in C# and it needs .NET Framework 4.5 in order to work.
It looks like this (screenshots inside):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My main goal was to create a PC-like file managing experience and here's what FSExplorer can do:
create new files and folders
delete existing files and folders
batch copy and move files (supported by the file queue)
download and upload files (drag&drop supported)
quick download and open a file from your device (only double-click needed)
check and set permissions (3-digits, e.g. 644)
remember where have you been (this means you can go back, up and further like in Windows Explorer; up to 15 last places)
connect to your ADB WiFi-enabled device
list your device's partitions
work in root mode (SU) (working for every command except download/upload)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What do you need?
In order to get Yeti FSExplorer working you need to sell your property and buy a license have ADB installed. This means it has to be accessible for this program. You can either put it somewhere and make proper changes in system's PATH or simply download this and extract to a folder containing FSExplorer.
You'll also need .NET Framework 4.5 or above, so Windows XP is not supported. Sorry for that.

Hi,
I'm in trouble, the app does not work for me...
My S4 with CM12.1 ROM with root and busybox.
What else can I do?
Update: I'm sorry dude! I would like to use the program, but very weak the support! You do not visit in this direction...

Sorry for replying that late - there were things independent of me and I wasn't able to analyze the source code for (probably) my mistakes so I could explain it here.
Thank you for reporting this.
When trying to connect to your device using ADB WiFi, do NOT write ":5555", the only thing you need is the IP address as 5555 is the only most used ADB WiFi port. If you try to connect to, for example, 12.34.56.78:5555, nothing is done. Then:
1. If connection is established, FSExplorer will refresh itself, trying to list directory "/".
2. If it isn't, you'll get an error message.
Once again, sorry for delay and not clarifying this thing in this program.
Edit:
I'm working on IP address recognition fix now. There's also one more bug (listing in root mode). These two fixes will be included in version 1.2 of FSExplorer.
Edit2:
Version 1.2 is up. I'd like to know if this version works better with your device.

Sorry...
Today I received a notice by e-mail on this topic!
Now it works! Thank you for your work!

Nice to know!
Feature requests and more bug reports are welcome as much as opinions about this app.
