I think your best bet is to Unlock and root them with a custom recovery. From there, use an app that pulls a flashable zip containing the desired apps and any data they need and reboots to recovery to flash the zip. If you need to pull videos too, put that pull in the app too.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxjivi05:
Wouldn't he just need them all connected to WiFi and use the same Google account then do it all from the computer it'll auto download the apps you select to the devices.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this would work.

For videos just host on local WiFi connection and use CiFS to have who ever connect to them if they are students or what.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smo1970:
I suppose it could be, but it's also very feasable to think that this could be used for a company for maybe orientation or training purposes. The nexus 7 is inexpensive enough that it may be cost effective for such use.

Regardless, it's an interesting thread that may be of assistance to anybody needing to configure multiple devices.

ADB Missing My APK's?

Tried this method. It does backup and does restore - using the all switch with adb.

Problem:

My source image as the our custom APK's installed and those APK's are in the 'downloads' folder. It seems that adb can't find these APK's for backup? As on the restore all these apps aren't installed. How do I get ADB to look into other directories?

I tried enabling "allow third party apps" - no work.

I can't turn off the USB debugging mode as then ADB wont' work.

I am using a custom launcher and was in that when I tried to perform the backup. ADB did backup the other APK's so I'm not that worried about this being the issue.

Any ideas on how to get ABD to find the rest of my APK's?

This will seriously cut the current time to install.

Is there a way to image the entire device without rooting it - as rooting takes to much time. Also we lose our manufactures warranty on the rooted device.

Thanks!

Did u steal a container?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Here's what I would do.

First use WiFi Explorer on 1 N7. Probably your personal one that is rooted.

Second, use that WiFi Router app that tricks other devices into connecting through it. Make it display the direct URL of the app (to your WiFi Web server) whenever someone tries to access the web.

Third, on each tab, just open the browser and click the URL which downloads and installs the apk.

You'll get fast speeds over wifi and you can multitask several at a time. I can't see restoring a backup 1 at a time on each one being fast... at all. How many apks are there?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
Or instead of displaying url, link to a shell script that downloads and runs apk files, after that you just need to click install for every app on every n7. Which is still 10k clicks, but faster then connecting every one to use and adb restoring (which itself isn't the quickest process)

Or hire a bunch of students to do it for you and give then one n7 each as payment :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kearkan:
Surely if you were buying 1700 n7s then Google would be able to provide some sort of assistance for this, if it's for commercial use...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
Couldn't you install those apks on the source then backup. The restore should then restore the app on each restore of the device. You should be able to also drag and drop the apk into the data/apps folder and they will auto install on the restore

Hello everyone,

Currently my lappy uses Nortel (XEAN) and a grid card to connect. I called my company support but they are not interested in helping me.

At this writing, I have been lappy-less for the last 3 weeks. There are 2 tasks that I cannot perform and this is one of them.

I was going to try Cisco AnyConnect ICS+ from the store and see how that goes.

Any and all comments or assistance is welcomed!

If you want a home personal server, and have a spare android device lying about, you could try "servers ultimate" from the playstore with "openvpn"by openvpn, from the playstore, i sucessfully tested a connection between my tab and my phone, server on the phone, client on the tab, simple enough, servers ultimate after setting up the vpn server profile, it lets you export a file with the settings needed for openvpn, it was quite easy to setup.

I dont know if this is what your looking for, and im pretty sure the secure connection was over network only, as im still to unknowledgeble on these things, all i know is, apparentky there is a way to put an "internet" ip address on a vpn server profile, so that if you connect to a public wifi network like you find in stores, you can vpn to your android device at home acting as your vpn server, making an encrypted connection through the public wifi, to your android vpn, and then your vpn server would pass through YOUR home internet, while protecting your connection on the public wifi from any prying eyes who may be using apps that sniff the network data, i believe, like the apps on android that "sniff" out facebook sesions....for instance, not something i use personally

A benefit to this is that your not paying an unknown vpn to pass a "secure" connection through THEIR systems in between, you control, that in between, or at least, better control, over your own private property......i dont think its able to spoof ip address, if thats what folks might be looking for, but the servers ultimate app is pretty extensive, and my knowledge withese things is limited, so for those looking, who knows what their doing, might be worth checking it out (i wouldnt mind a small setup guide, if someone manages that)......if it makes a difference, your also able to setup a proxy server, although i never did figure out how, hell, aint to sure what it does :)...........

well, hopefully this helps

Yes this guide is the one but first you need to re-flash ICS back onto it to get it out of the boot loop. I tried going straight back and after flashing GB back onto it it would continue on its boot loop only way I got rid of the loop was to flash ICS back onto it then downgrade using the guide.

I did this myself and thought i had broken everything!

Re-flash your ICS then follow the guide. This worked perfect for me and my phone is faster then ever!

on a side note #15 on the guide says WITHOUT i kept messing this part up >_<
[Nexus 4 General] Dan37tz:
I was talking to one of my buddies here at work who is also an Android Freak like myself and we were discussing about how Google and LG can sell such a device packing what it does for $299 or $349.

It's seems like it has really beautiful build quality also, while Samsung sells a plastic dual core S3 with half the RAM, lower resolution screen for double the price!

Don't get me wrong, I am both happy and sad that the phone is so damn cheap. Glad because it is so dirt cheap that I can buy it as a backup phone to my Note 2 and just not worry about it falling and breaking or whatever. Replacing just the LCD on my Note 2 would probably pay for the whole Nexus 4!

Sad because since it is so cheap, it almost gives me the impression that it's some kind of gophone, pay as you go device. You know, a disposable phone. Something any 13 year old who mows lawns on the weekends can afford. Also judging by the comments and anticipation in this forum, those are most likely the majority of buyers. 13 year old geeks. =)

To me the device lost something special, exclusivity.

When I first picked up my Note 2, everybody at work was in awe and were ready to go purchase one immediately.

Then I told them how much I paid, $690 off contract and they all had sticker shock. Only one other fella at my work has a Note 2 besides me now, and that's my boss. The device feels special to me.

I know this post seems a bit ridiculous, but that's something that is bugging me a little about the device. What do you guys think? A little something inside kinda wish Google priced this device similar to the Galaxy Nexus. I think it would have been more special to me. Am I crazy?
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Just because people are excited, you're assuming they're 13? Right...

... and imo, the price does not make it any less exclusive.
[Nexus 4 General] linj:
You could always buy two and strap them back-to-back for that "cachet" feel?

In any case, mainstream smartphones, like all technology, will always be getting less exclusive. If exclusivity is of import, the Tag Heuer Android phones look quite sharp, but probably will be behind on the OS curve...
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
Setting aside the ridiculousness of caring about exclusivity, your work colleagues likely got sticker-shock because they don't know much about the cellphone market. I'm sure they don't think of the iPhone as an "exclusive" device, and yet it's in the same range as the Note 2 off-contract. The Nexus 4 may not be a monetarily exclusive device, but it's still going to have limited sales due to the number of people who are informed enough about their options to pick one up.

[Nexus 4 General] Ryukeima:
This. I only know one girl outside of XDA that even knows what the Nexus line is.

Perhaps. Google may keep production low for the first wave after watching previous launches. There seems to be a lot of uncertainty about the popularity of this phone due to the lack of LTE, expandable storage, and maybe inadequate battery. Those of us looking to buy the phone can only hope that it is either not that popular or that Google didn't lower production.

[Nexus 4 General] User1110:
I don't see anything wrong of a 13 year old can save up and purchase this device, it allows a younger audience to own a modern smartphone without the hefty price tag. Exclusivity to one type of group (in this case being age) isn't somthing company's want for their products, and if they lure in the younger users with the low price tag, that means more marketshare for them. The nexus 4 isn't a fashion item like more popular phones such as the iPhone, or even the galaxy s3, it's made for contract free or value plan customers who want a fast phone for a reasonable price.

I also have a problem with my USB port but here is how I get around it! I'm still able to install any rom I want by using my SD card adapter. I download the rom I want to my computer, then plug in my SD card adapter to the computer with my SD card in it, now I can download anything I want directly to the SD card. When I'm finished I put the SD back in my device and flash my rom. Works like a charm. My SD card adapter is a dual card reader by socal trade and it was like 5 dollars! You can find them online. Also if you like you can charge battery with external charger too. My port still charges my phone but I can no longer use USB connection so this is the method I use. No real need to take phone back to Tmobile. Also you can order the part and have a local cell repair shop put it in. I did some looking, I ordered the part and my local shop charges 55 dollars to put the part in and said the phone will be finished in 3 hours. I've been short on money so haven't done it yet but those are some options for you. Since we have the same problem I thought I'd let you know what I've done to get around the problem! It works! Now I have no real urgency to get it repaired because I can use the SD adapter for everything I need and charge battery with wall charger if need be. I hope this post is helpful to you. Best of luck.

I've been comparing Play Music to iTunes and Googles offering is much cheaper.

Single tracks on both iTunes and Play Music average at about £0.79 to £0.99 with the occasional iTunes song dipping to to £0.59 and peaking at £1.89. This is from what I've seen so far. Play Music is a lot more consistent.

Albums seem to be cheaper on Google Play, most of the albums I have checked seem to be about £1 to £2 cheaper. That's a huge saving if you by a lot of music. I anticipate to spend at least a hundred quid over the next week, buying all the music I pirated.
