[Q][ASK] There is a way to integrated Update app to rom? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

this my first thread, hope i can get some answer.
my phone is asus zen 2 laser wich is recently get marsmallow update, and you know even the android is the newest version but the system and user app such as gmail playstore and etc keepin' give an update like twice a month maybe, and im the one who always check the latest version of my apps on playstore, then if theres an update i will update to the latest version
what i want to ask is how to integrated the update app to rom?
you know if you update an user apps the update will replace the old one cause theres still on data/app
but if you update a system app the old one still on system/app or system/priv-app and the new one on data/app
wich is for me so wasting space, cause i have a pretty large freespace on system/
i usually use link2sd but on Marshmallow i think it useless, it says success like always but after i reboot the apps that i recently integrated with link2sd will gone, therefore the file still on system
i try to manually push the file into system, it just get the same result
anyone can help me?

New Market 3.x - I have had it!

Ok. I bought this G Tab knowing that I would have to install ROMs, tweak .prop files, NVFlash, CWM, RootExplorer, etc. No problem there.
But now I have had it with this new Market. Many (if not most) applications are showing as incompatible with my tablet even though I already installed them. My beloved Word With Friends now requires an update, but I can not install it from the Market as the new Market believes the app is incompatible with my ROM. That is the last draw as I cannot play it anymore.
So does anybody have a market.zip that has Market 2.3.6 so I can go back to the old market? I have the .apk files but I think I need something that could install via CWM (BL 1.2) since all the apks do not work if you install them by themselves (they all FC). I would freeze market updater so it does not upgrade again to 3.x.
Thanks

Installed the GAPPS and it did not install the market. Tried uninstalling Market and Market updater first and still no go.
It looks like something is blocking the old market from being installed. I extracted it and installed it myself but it then FC everytime it started.
Very frustrating. This is the kind of crap that is going to kill android. It just looks like Google is purposedly trying to lock out aftermarket ROMs from accessing Market apps.
This happens to me frequently. The solution Ive found is to stop the market and clear data. After this is done, launch the market and youll no longer get the error. Sometimes Ill have to do this 3-4 times a day. Good luck.
Interestingly enough, I think I got a workaround. Through some investigation, I found out that the problem was that many apps were being filtered because of the screen resolution. So I started working with the density property in the build.prop to find out if there was a magic number that will make things work like they used to. It appears that I did find that number and it is 160.
So I updated the build.prop line with Root Explorer:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
After that I cleared the Market app data and the Google Services Framework data. Rebooted and everything that was previously installed seems to be recognized and the applications started updating again.

amazon market place as "system" app

I'm new to nook, but so far I've managed to get my new tablet running nearly everything I want via golauncher and manual apk files. Youtube, reader, google email are all good. Only thing really missing is the Android market.
Based on reading through this forum and the KF and others, the patterns seems to be people getting the google services loaded, rebooting, getting andorid installed and then it crashing shortly after launch. This is also where I am at and I've tried what must be 10 different versions of the market. I did notice that different versions produce slightly different results. I wonder if the market versions are dependent on certain versions of the google framework service package?
I think I read on some other forums that the Android market place must run from the "system" area or something. if you copy it to the right place and change the file permissions correctly, it apparently runs ok where as it fails elsewhere. Is that where it is failing for us I wonder? It's not in the right place and we don't have root to put it there?
I read that titanium backup can convert a user apk in to a system apk. Is the market app a user apk? If so, has anyone tried converting it to a system apk with titanium and trying to letthe package installer installis as a system verison ??
As I said, just a n00b. so please excuse any silly suggestions. Just trying to chip in with ideas
cheers
the only issue with that would be that titanium requires root
Could it be backed up/converted as a system app from a nook color and then imported to nook tablet?

Whether or not you're rooted, you can grab the new updated Market .apk file from anybody who has posted.
Simple command through adb: adb install -r c:\downloads\Market.apk .
This should move the apk file into /data/app, which should not require root access and will load the updated version of the Market.
This method is used for most of Google products which come on the device in /system/app, but later an updated apk is released. The internal android package manager knows to grab the most recent version and to check both /data/app and /system/app in order to determine the most recent version.
Hope that helps!
My girlfriend's Evo 3D is in the same boat, still on the old market, so she doesn't have access to the books, music, or movies. She's a bit leary of me downloading an app from a forum (I know, really no harm), is there a way to force the update from within the market itself? If not, any reliable download links?
Edit: Actually, I'm curious. Does anyone that just has a stock Evo3D have the new market? Seems all the talk on the forums (after doing several searches) is about downloading the new market apk, not getting pushed an update.

I just bumped the new market for you. It's in the theme and apps section here on this forum. Check it out. Nd you don't have to be rooted just uninstall old market and install this one.
Or if your rooted and you are not near a computer just just root explorer ( or whatever else you use to access the root of your phone) and go to system/apps and search for vending apk delete that one and replace it with the one you just downloaded. Set permissions to
XX
X
X
Then you shld be good to go. If the new market doesn't show up just reboot your phone

To clarify, as I posted above, you don't have to remove the old market. System partition is locked for non root users. Only have to load the new market apk file into the /data/app directory.
The package manager is intelligent enough to check version numbers on both .apk files and determine which one is the newest version.
Also, as quoted in my previous post above, this is the same approach taken by any application shipped stock on a system that is later updated. The updated apk file is placed in /data/app and the original stock apk is left in /system/app as the /system partition is considered read only and should not be modified, by Android operating standards.

I'm on stock rooted ROM and the market update has not been pushed to me.
On my NS4G, the market update came along with Google Wallet and the Android 2.3.7 OTA.
Hope that extra information helps eliminate an extra step for those leary of modifying their system partition and provides more information to the internal workings of Android!
No duhh so you don't have to delete it. All this time

Latest google apps build

Since stock firmware has old collection of google apps, and updating means it doesn't over write the system apps, it justs creates another copy- would it be possible to wipe the collection of stock google apps, then flash over a new updated collection of google apps? I have
gapps-gb-20110828-signed, but with 2011 date that seems pretty old. Isn't there a 2012/2013 build?
Also my phone has LK1 firmware, would this be useful to you guys?

simply update the app you want to, and then integrate the update into rom with the help of link2sd or titanium backup

cheers will give updating system app a go. It's worked for play store, but for maps and youtube when I action, integate... it says system full. Even though I still have 70MB free.
I guess uninstall updates, delete maps & youtube manually in es file explorer and re-download again? It was only play store that is handy having it integrated, since that is an essential app to download other google apps.
got it working. rebooted, then let kies update firmware, rebooted again, then integrated maps and yotube
seems to work, however since doing linksd update system app, google service has stopped responding. No way of having a clean ROM with very latest google play store? The one I've seen has a older build, and other google apps. So it'll update it anyway.
one work around is moving play services and play store to user app. Delete any play services/play store in system. Now it won't create another copy, it'll use the user one. Of course if you do a reset it'll lose those files, but since it's easy to restore or recovery not a big deal (and saving 20 MB)

Change apk to not update or get update notification

I want to install a older version of Google Contacts as apk. Because there is a bug in later versions, i don't want to update the app automatically and also don't want to get a update notification, when I search manually for updates.
Do i need to edit the apk name or something else? Is there any advice for this?
@Lifear
If you clone an app, for example with 3rd-party Parallel Space app, the clone doesn't get automatically updated.
Oh. Nice to hear that. And this clone creates a new apk file to save it for install it later again?
