Back them up with titanium backup (free version is fine) first then you can batch reinstall with it after.
You could write a batch script with a loop to install all the apks in a folder via adb.

That's a good idea and doable with one line
from windows command line
for %a in (c:\path\to\files\*.apk) do adb install %a
or in batch file (2 % signs)
for %%a in (c:\path\to\files\*.apk) do adb install %%a
Question relating to this type of thing...
I backed everything up with Astro prior to flashing Cyanogen's ROM...after doing so and reinstalling, all apps work, however only apps that I've installed from the market since that time show updates available...the others never notify me, I only find out if I use a program like atrackdog to track the version #'s. Is this a known issue, and is there a fix?

Hah, that's awesome!
[Edit]: Will they not show up in the Market as described above if installed via adb?

Try backing them up with titanium backup (free edition is fine) and then restoring them, i think that will rewrite your packages file. At least, everything i've restored via titanium updates.

I think they will, but if not, try the titanium backup method i mentioned.
Use Titanium Backup (It will save all app data and restore that as well) Also Donate version has batch install without prompts to install each app
Titanium Backup Donate. Seriously worth the money man
Any other method of installation than Titanium Backup will cause apps not to show in Market, and you will not be notified of updates. So, use Ti Backup. ;-)

Just downloaded. It looks like auto-install is only for the $4 version?

It's worth the money, but you can batch reinstall without the pay version, you just have to click "ok/done" for each one, but it's quick and easy.

But how do I batch-install apps that I did not backup using TiBackup before? e.g. I downloaded a couple of apk files somewhere and want to batch install them, how do I do that?
You can also use AppBrain for batch reinstalling.
Actually, my Nexus One reinstalls all the apps from the market after I wipe.

Use Amon_RA recovery and do "Fix UID mismatches" or whatever it's called. It will match your apps to the Market.
I thought if you sign into your google account it will automatically reinstall apps after wipe, or am i missing something?

Yes. Root/custom ROM. The auto-install is for 100% stock I believe.
Am talking more about apps that I didn't have before on my device before wiping/upgrade. Or lets just start with a fresh device where I have absolutely nothing installed: apps or custom settings:
I have a bunch of apk files which I downloaded before via my PC
I haven't even set up my Market/Google account yet on my device
I want to conserve my bandwidth (3G or Wifi, it doesn't matter) and rather want to batch-install the whole bunch of my 100+ apk apps
how do I do that? what app do I use? from the Market?

I have set up a category on AppBrain personally.. My must-install apps... So when I install a new ROM (when I get around to doing so) I should hopefully be able to easily pick and choose which are installed and none of the misc stuff I like but don't need for day to day use, or to make testing the new ROM faster etc.
All,
I'm thinking of doing a full system wipe and reinstall cyanogenmod 7.03. What I don't understand is the steps involved. When you do a full wipe, Titanium is not installed. So after the first reboot, do you skip through android initial set up and go to market and install titanium backup? And once you go to market you need to log on anyways, so once you log on, by default it will automatically download all missing apps.
So I need a step by step on how to recover backup from titanium after a full wipe. Also, can it backup my settings for my adw launcher ex? Like restore how my widgets look etc....
Thanks!

Once you do the wipe and boot up just sign in to Google as usual because your gonna have to in order to download Titanium Backup. Its supposed to automatically reinstall your apps once you sign in but I've noticed that on GB ROMs it doesn't for me.
Once in Titanium hit menu and hit batch. Scroll down to restore and select which one you want to run. You can select which apps you want to restore or deselect which ever. You can also select if you want to restore the data associated with your apps or just the apps themselves. As for ADW, not sure as I dont use it.
can batch restoring also include system applications which are not relevant if I have installed a completely different rom? is it harmless, or it can override important system applications with same name and cause problems?

I know you can back them up and restore them but on different ROMs I dont think they'll play right. Not sure about that because I have never backed system apps or settings do to flashing different ROMs. Give it a try and see what happens. Just make sure you backup in case some thing goes wrong.
Took me some time to find a solution, a lot of googling,
eventually I found this magic post
And I thought it deserves a better spotlight.
1. Copy /data/system/packages.xml to your PC. (or edit it somehow...)
2. Edit it, find the line with your app name that looks something like :
Code:
<package name="com.sec.android.app.samsungapps" codePath="/data/app/com.sec.android.app.samsungapps-1.apk" nativeLibraryPath="/data/data/com.sec.android.app.samsungapps/lib" flags="1" ft="134880eb380" it="11b7e237e00" ut="134880eb753" version="26114" userId="10039" enabled="false">
3. This line freezes samsung apps, which I wanted to desfrost to make S-Choice work. Change the false, to true > Save.
4. Copy the file back to the phone.
5. Contact titanium backup author and report this bug.
Reboot, Enjoy.
PS - I did not find the solution myself, I am just making a solution found by olympicchicken More readable and searchable.
I too have been having the problem with not being able to unfreeze system apps. What worked for me is to uninstall the frozen app from within Titanium BU (be sure to have a backup before uninstalling). Then just reboot and was able to restore the app through Titanium BU.
Don't know if it made any difference but I had done the app backup in Titanium before I froze it in the first place.

I didn't backup any of the system apps I froze before freezing, hence if I would have deleted them, I would have been deleting the only apk copy i had of them.
Could somebody please check their /data/system/packages.xml for the line referencing "com.sec.android.app.controlpanel" (Task Manager) and post this entire line for me?
I've stupidly uninstalled it and TB can't restore it from backup as the line is missing.
Cheers.

Even if you have an app frozen you can still select backup. Then uninstall the app, reboot, and restore the app.

That didn't work as TB just hangs when trying to restore. I don't have a nandroid backup so if someone can post that line then I can at least fix it manually.
A simpler way to locate the particular line is by searching for "false" will keep showing all the frozen apps ) much faster too
I can confirm the uninstall and restore method worked for me..
I had frozen all three samsung app services(app, account, una) and I wanted to unfreeze them because of the free Dead Space and Modern Combat offers and I couldn't unfreeze them..
So as they were already frozen I made a back up of them, uninstalled them, reboot and restore them.. Worked like a charm..
Thanks guys.
I also try to contact the TITANIUM BACKUP developer informing about this bug... but not update avaible for the moment!
The file-edit method did not work for me. However, the uninstall/restore did. You have to convert system apps to user apps to backup them first, but it's quick and easy.
Possible solution
Hi guys,
Check out this test version of TB and try the "power defrost" feature in Batch menu. Hopefully it will help

Hi,
This link is not needed anymore. The official version has it now
This is more of a general question than an S5 specific one, but I am having the issue on the S5 so I figured I'd post it here.
I back up everything of mine with Titanium Backup, because when I install a new ROM, I only want a small amount of the apps associated with my Google account to be downloaded.
However, whenever I flash a new ROM and sign in, it immediately starts downloading every damn app I've ever had on a phone. I would much prefer to just go into Titanium Backup and manually restore the apps that I want to restore. Is there a way to set this up so that, right from the initial boot, I can just go download Titanium Backup and do it myself without Google Play interfering?

I always uncheck all apps and then check manualy wich apps are to be restored/installed with TB.

Well that's what I want to do as well. The problem is, as soon as I flash my phone and reboot, Google Play IMMEDIATELY takes over and starts forcing all of these apps to install on my phone. I want to disable that completely, and just go manually download Titanium Backup and do what you said. That way I only install and restore the apps that I'm actually using.
EDIT: Upon reading my initial post, I realize that I didn't make it very clear that Google Play is the problem here, not Titanium Backup. I would like to use TB, but Play just gets right to work without asking me.

When you setup the phone after the flash you can choose not to restore the apps after you entered the Gmail account/password. Then when you`re done go straight to the Play Store and stop the restoring of the (Google) apps.
After a new flash and upon Gmail sign-in, Android will ask you whether you would like to back up data. If you leave them checked your system will automatically download all the apps. Hence, uncheck both of those boxes.

Thanks, that's what I was missing. For some reason I thought that it was referring to something else. Problem solved!
hi,
I've been on cm 13 and backed up all my user apps with Titanium Backup v8, I even created an update.zip of my backups.
Then I clean flashed the latest Mokee 6.0.1 rom. Now I can not restore my apps either on titanium backup or via recovery and update.zip . In titanium backup, restoring gets stuck at 0% and in recovery it gives an error.
Does anyone know what should I do ?
Ok it seems that no one experienced this problem. After hours of searching and trial and error I've found a way to solve this problem.
In Titanium Backup --> preferences --> app processing mode (scroll all the way down to see it) --> change it to Interactive. If you batch restore your apps and data, it will ask you each time to install your apps (which is very annoying!), but it works and won't get stuck on 0% .
If anyone ever found a better way, please mention it.

Try Titanium Backup PRO version. Then you don't have to every time click for install. It will automatically install all the apps. You just have to do 1 click.

It was the PRO version. It seems that titanium has this problem with some android 6+ roms. The above mentioned solution(!) to install each app manually, was mentioned as a workaround for this problem.
