Is there a way to package, more (favorites) app into something like a zip file so that when the installation does not install one by one, rather than simply flash the zip file from sdcard ?
(It is very hard to re-install all the applications one by one, after flashing a new ROM)
Thanks in advance !!!
Use MyBackup Pro, Luke!

Hey guys quick question and yes I did my research before posting this..
So basically I want to remove some of the apps that come pre-installed by Sony.. now should I just use Flashtool to remove those apps such as Timescape and Wisepilot..?? greatly appreciated
x10i 2.3.3 rooted.
Since you have your stock rom rooted.
The best way to remove the pre-installed apps is to use Root.explorer to delete apps under system/app dic.
However,it's not easy to delete pre-installed apps from .ftf file which you used to flash via flashtool.
Since you have your stock rom rooted.You can install busybox & xRecovery first and download a rom like .zip format.Then you can unpack the .zip file and delete the pre-installed apps you don't like under system/app dic.In the end you should pack the .zip rom again and sign it with rom-sign tool then copy the .zip file into your SDcard and use xRecovery to flash it into your phone.
cheers,

Hi,
take a look at Root Uninstaller but be carefull. Good idea might be to install xRecovery first and make a backup of your image.

Hey guys,
I used to have a symbian, Nokia 5800 which have a very cool application batch installer, basically after wiping the SD card and place all my apps in a folder then run this app, it would install the apps one by one automatically so i won't do it manually (hence avoid doing it over 39 times or so), this was a time saver for me, is there any application for Android that would do this, just configure and have it install all apps either to the phone or the sdcard, this would be something that can lower the restoration of apps after a customer install or adding a whole bunch of new download via PC apps and games.
Thanks in advance for the help.

You could use titanium backup, backup all your app and then restore it...

Can I also do this with Xrecovery, or only Titanium does the trick? and if so, would the apps all run back from my SD card once i do this or it would be diferent? thanks for your response dsaklein
You can create flashable zip with all your apps and then flash it with CWM or xRecovery.

i dont think that they would be different bacause you are doing backup so they must stay the same.....but like Godra says you can do it with xrecovery search forum for it
You can use FlashTool

I think the create my flashable zip file sounds good, should I just zip all files or is there a way to do that too?
also silentw can you elaborate on how do I use the flash tool? I want to do an autoinstall batch rather than something manual!
You can do a batch install/uninstall with titanium backup
Hi, i was wondering if there is a way to create a zip package to flash through CWM, in order to install various apks simoultaneously... You know, when i flash a new rom i get bored of having to reinstall everything, and Titanium backup doesn't work properly... so i wanted to create a pack with all my favourite apps, and install them all in once!
Hey there's an app on the market place called easy installer & it can install multiple apps at once no reboot required unless a app prompts u to

Hi
Is does anyone know of a flashable zip i can use through recovery that will backup all downloaded apps in /data/app and the application data that goes with the applications
Thanks in advanced
Titanium Backup has this option and there is a new App that seems promising

Atm App2zip does not work for all the devices, it's still experimental and not widely tested, so first of all, especially before backing-up something important, make some test to see whether it works for you (e.g. open App2zip and put in the flashable zip some apps you don't really care, uninstall them and then restore the zip via CWM recovery).
---------------------------------------------------
App2zip allows to backup applications directly to a zip file flashable via CUSTOM recovery, you can build your own update.zip on the fly, no need for PC.
ROOT REQUIRED!
Building your flashable zip is easy:
1) Choose the apps to be included in the zip file
2) Click GO! and wait until the zip is done. That's it!
Even system apps can be included in the zip file but make sure they don't have dependencies and they don't share data with other system apps (otherwise they won't be restored properly).
Restore via stock recovery is not supported yet.
Special thanks to:
michaelg117 (for the idea), Fnorder (signapk script), people in "flashable app backup" thread.

Feel free to use this thread for any comment or report, if the app does not work for you please tell which device and ROM you're on. Thank you!

Thanks for the quick replies I am currently using backup pro to do this but I was wondering if there was a script of a zip that could pull them in recovery to the sdcard and one to push I can create a zip to do this but it means entering every app data location manually I was looking for one that would pull the app and then the data based on the apps name I can send you a copy of the zip
But in short it creates the required folders copes every thing in /data/app and the I have to add lines like so e.g.
com.adobe.reader
For it to copy the data as well
Thanks again

Can we reorganize the applications inside the 'Gapps_ ics_ xxxxxx.signed zip'?
I mean can we eliminate or add some more applications inside of CWM flashable zip file, instead of working with TitaniumBackup to restore our own favorite applications after every wipe Rom Flash ?
I mean just deleting or adding some xxxxx .apk files...
Do you think it works ?
You could probably just make your own gapps zip with titanium so you could always flash the ones you want

I did not know TB has such feature though I have been using it for a long time..
I use it w/ batch feature to restore my apps after every flash.
I will try to find out how to create CWM flashable zip file contains my favorite apps.
Edited,
I found 'create update zip' under settings.
I created zip file from user apps but the file created is only 3 mb though I have araund 100 apps installed and backedup by TB.
it seems it made only for itself not all the other backedup apps..
Am I wrong ?
How to all together apps?
Titanium can only make an update.zip which flashes Titanium.
Feel free to use 7zip to add or remove apks directly from the gapps zip.

Sorry for the confusion, I guess I just assumed that with all of TB features "create update.zip" would do more than just flash itself. Guess I should try a feature before suggesting it - duh
