I've wiped and installed a lot of roms lately, and generally when I go to 'my downloads' in the market, only my paid apps are there. So, I have to go though the process of searching the installing each app again. It's just easier when they are all in a list.
I figured it would be a good idea to backup all my apps and then reinstall them afterward with adb in linux as such:
for a in `ls *.apk`; do adb install $a; done
this works, but of course they don't show up under 'my downloads' and I don't get update notifications.
Is there a way around this?

You need to backup and restore the database file located in the market folder....it should be here...
Code:
/data/data/com.android.vending/databases
I'm assuming since you can backup and restore your apps thru adb then you can figure out how to pull and push this to your phone
I assume you would want to do this to get update notifications. If so you can grab "aTrackDog" from the market. It will list all you apps and when you refresh it will tell you when updates are available and give you a link to get the update from the market.

will it only work for software installed through the market or will manually installed software show up as well?

For those of us who are not that familiar with adb, can you give a short tutorial on how to pull and then push that database folder?
well i just wiped and installed the latest cyanogen mod and when i went to the "my downloads" section of the store all the apps i had downloaded before were all there (paid and free)
I also thought it didnt do that, apperently it does

You don't need ADB, you can use the terminal emulator from the market or the recovery console.
To pull the database, open terminal or recovery and type:
Code:
su
cd /data/data/com.android.vending/
cp databases /sdcard
that will copy that database file to the root of your sdcard.
When pushing it back it is probably best to do it while the phone isn't running, so only use the recovery console:
Code:
cd sdcard
cp databases /data/data/com.android.vending/
reboot
I haven't tested this, but it will have the same results as the ADB method.

Backup for Root works perfectly for me
if you got a paid app through adb and got a refund, can you still get updates for that app if you have it installed?

No, you will not get updates without re-purchasing the app. And talking about ripping off app developers on this forum is frowned up so please stop discussing it.

If you got a refund, then you shouldn't have the app. That's stealing and it's not nice. Most apps are cheap (a couple of bucks at most), stop being a cheapskate.

i tried this but it dodnt work.
when I did the first command it said ommiting databases. so I thought it worked.
flashed to the new cyanogen 4.0 rom (which is amazing btw!) did the second command and it said cannot stat file "databases" no such file or folder.
what gives??
Id say the databases were open and couldnt be backed up.
You should try to copy them from the recovery.
Also, after copying why didnt you check if the database files were in your sdcard (or the path you specified for the copy) before wiping? If the file is not there its obvious that it cant be restored after the wipe..
thought it might have been hidden or on my ext2 partition! never mind i got atrackdog!

Seems you can only copy each of the four db files individually... but copying the entire folder doesn't work.
All that is needed is assets.db
Open the terminal and enter
$ su
# cp /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db /sdcard
Wipe, flash, reboot.
YOU MUST OPEN THE MARKET AND AGREE TO THE TOS BEFORE RESTORING!!!!
Open the market, agree to the TOS, and close the market. Open the terminal and enter
$ su
# cp /sdcard/assets.db /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db
# reboot
I can't seem to figure out how to remove stock apps using adb? Can anyone list the commands needed to do this?

Does this completely remove the app? I mean in particular the listing in the app drawer, as well as in the "Manage Apps" section (if applicable). Also where will app data be stored, if used?
Thanks
yes, completely.
use "adb shell ls -1 /system/app/" to find out the exact name of the app you want to delete, it's caps sensitive.
you can try these 2 programs to remove apps
you should try using android commander or droid explorer. search for them in the forums. they are free and help out a lot.
+ For Droid Explorer: http://de.codeplex.com/ I use this and it is pretty handy. Though you can just be lazy like I usually am and just uninstall apps via Titanium Backup. I haven't tried Android Commander (yet, but maybe I should...) but in interest of being fair, you can find it here: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-and-Shell/Windows/Android-Commander-93099.shtml and the official site is here, but didn't find it very well laid out (no offense PanPiotr...): http://androidcommander.com/
One other thing if you want to backup the app to your sd use cp /system/apps/appnname /sdcard/backup/appname

Sorry to ask such a noob question, but I just ran Unrevoked 3 and unrevoked forever. Everything seemed to work correctly, but when I try and run androind commander to delete files it says I need root permissions. I saw the superuser permissions icon in my app list, but when I click it nothing happens. Did I miss something?

do you use other apps (setcpu, etc) that require Superuser permissions? any issues with those? if you do have other apps that have SU permissions, then uninstall/reinstall Android Commander... it should then request permission again.
if neither situation applies... use the directions above to remove the Superuser.apk file from /system/app and then go to this thread and download the new Superuser app

Can anybody help me with removing system apps without root?
Tried to do it using ADB but it says system/apps is read only, presumably because of no root.
There must be a way to do it via recovery? I found a script for samsung phones (flashable zip) here: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-remove-bloatware-from-android-devices-the-easy-way-without-root/
But it doesn't do anything in my Nexus 4 recovery, just fails. What's wrong with that zip that stops it from working on Nexus 4?
Any help greatly appreciated!

You are aware that if you remove any system apps, future android updates will fail until you put them back with the correct permissions?
Flashable .zip files are meant for custom recoveries. If you have a custom recovery, you can connect to your computer and run:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell mv /system/app/PACKAGE.apk /system/app/PACKAGE.apk.bak

No I didn't actually, sounds excessive!
But still, I'd really like to know this :]
Also when I booted TWRP recovery, it installed "SuperSU installer" as a system app, and I can't get the annoying notification go go away without removing the apk from system/app

Mee too unable to write on system
download terminal on google play
open terminal
write "su" command and give root permission
then you will see "#"
after that, write this command:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable
then you write this command:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
if you see "#" again, it worked
but if you see "mount: Operation not permitted" it has not, sorry

installing busybox
installing terminal
and writing following codes

'to give terminal root access
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

@serajr workaround was fo when rootkernel4.51 wasn't able to support Nougat kernel
however if you follow carefully, the lines mentioned
Code:
on post-fs
export LD_PRELOAD libNimsWrap.so:libdrmfix.so
and
Code:
write /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable 0
will switchoff SONYRIC and will fix DRM
the issue is NOT sony RIC,
Google in general with or without any security/rootaccess changed the system folder properties from default Writable in <+ 6.01 Android version to READABLE ONLY from android 7.xx
so when i followed the both method of altering file via notepad++ in the ramdisk folder using N kernel and rootkernel version4.5, I ended up having fully root system with READLY ONLY ACCESS to /system partition and i could only switchoff the apps but can't remove!

I also think the issue is not the RIC but something to do with the Nougat filesystem itself.
I can delete all the files and folders with any file managers I like but like after 1 sec they all reappear as nothing ever happened to them !!!
How strange is that ??
It shows file sizes when I delete them and take times to delete the folders with , say for 500MB
but they still reappear after just 1 refresh or 1 sec.
I cant figure it out at all for the sake of my sanity --- why the hell this is happening ????

I followed bungadudu-s steps and it worked i can change permissions and prove it with link i provided.
And chenges, yes they stick after reboot and i can rename files allso, but:
after reboot i have to repeat this steps if i want to change something elsewhere, old changes do stick aroind though
I deletet phone to 0 mb in twrp, flashed AU nougat .372 with flashtool, rebooted into twrp, flashed zip file provided in link, then flashed supersu in link and rebooted, no custom kernel used
Next i will try to copy modified thermal files now and see if they stick after reboot and if kernel aduitor uses them, see you later
Observations:
-i changed permissions from file /system/build.prop and changed lcd density to 320 and i have bootloop

I just clean install 372 and patched the kernel once again .................
tried the terminal commands ---- both commands were successful (without any errors )
but still the deleted apps and the edited files came back to normal as before
I did not manage to delete anny apps as my phone crashed before, i am glad you get commands to work.
oh, by the waj roomtoolbox is great as you can make shortcuts of the commands and then you klik it one after another and you get rid of the typing
example (first shortcut command depends of busybox install folder i think)
1.st shortcut "cd /su"
2.nd shortcut "su"
3.rd shortcut "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable"
4.th shortcut "mount -o rw,remount /system"
that way some people can do this quick and you dont need to remember commands, and you can experiment quicker.
sorry i dont know howto annything else for now

but still the deleted apps and the edited files came back to normal as before

I did not manage to delete anny apps as my phone crashed before, i am glad you get commands to work.
oh, by the waj roomtoolbox is great as you can make shortcuts of the commands and then you klik it one after another and you get rid of the typing
example (first shortcut command depends of busybox install folder i think)
1.st shortcut "md /su"
2.nd shortcut "su"
3.rd shortcut "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable"
4.th shortcut "mount -o rw,remount /system"

I just managed to restart my phone successfully after changing the LCD density to 320 [I also use this value since always ]
But then I carefully just deleted 1 single app and booom--- boot loop
PS. i used root explorer to just click mount as R/W and then do anything to system partition --
Great you magaged it, and yes 320 seems so right.
And i asume there is no way to break bootloop?...other than reflashing?
I had trouble afterwards on downgrading to.253, 3x times error on start, even after reseting " power & + " and couple of full wipes in twrp.
I had to flash lineage from twrp and boot it up and only then flashtool succeeded pushing. 253.
This nougat will be fun i see
If there is something to try tell me i will flash it once more tonight, otherways i can do it on weekends
Oh i did not tell, i managed to copy modified thermal files with no error and then changed lcd density so i can not 100% tell which caused bootlop, since i did not reboot in between...

"/system/priv-app/textinput-chn-xxhdpi",
);
