apps to system or data?

[Guest jdouce]

how do you determine weather to put an app in system or data? when creating the update.zip and how can i install to system or data using adb. rather then an update zip

to put an app in system i put it in a

system/app/app.apk and zip it then apply yea/

and i assume

data/app/app.apk for data

?? android is really complicated compared to winmo lol...

winmo was ... Hard spl... then do what you like

you can "push" apps via adb to /data/app. in adb you can install apps via "adb pm install <apk>" i think.

in a rom you can just create a folder data in the root and inside there a folder app.

You see it's very simple, in a update.zip are just the folders of your root of the device. :P

I JUST LOOKED its amazingly simple lmao

like ... really silly

but how do i decide weather i want them in system or data?

does it actually make any difference?

also can i install the cyanogen rom direct from the root app just get my rom and replace the rootedupdate.zip?

adb is:

adb install <path_to_apk>

System is for apks used in the core of Android & Sense. Data is for user apps so that's where I would put it.

It dosn't matter. The apks works also fine in /system.
