It seems aapt is included with Android ROMs from 4.4 (Kitkat) onwards, see this answer. Can anyone confirm this for stock ROMs?

| Jul 7, 2015 at 23:13 | comment | added | Izzy | Yeah, but it would mean to puzzle a lot, checking for all kind of app stores possibly installed until you've got all apps covered. Not really feasible. There must be some "central place" feeding things like the app drawer. That then would be the place to find my diamonds :) | |

@Izzy I've three confirmations: If the non-root device has Aptoide or F-Droid installed, then consider them as gold mine, since their databases are covered by ADB backup, and they individually have <APP_NAME> and <PKG_NAME> of all system+user apps. Talking about Play Store, its database is also covered by ADB backup, but it would give <APP_NAME> only for those apps which are installed using Play Store. The rest are listed by <PKG_NAMES> only. // It could help I guess.

Nice idea, @Firelord – but sure that would also apply to apps installed by other means (Aptoide, F-Droid, adb install) which the playstore doesn't know? And secondly, assuming a not-rooted device: would that database be accessible via ADB in some way? "From the databases inside it" surely means somewhere below /data/data, which is not "openly accessible" without root. Need to check whether that database would be accessible from an ADB backup – which still would require having the SSL libs available to decrypt that.

It's not that it would be the desired solution, but it's safe to assume that a non-rooted device probably would have an active Google Play Store, and if that's the case then you can get at least few <APP_NAME> and <PKG_NAME> from the databases (localappstate.db) inside it. Have you tried it? I've not verified whether ADB backup covers Play Store or not.

| Jun 24, 2015 at 15:16 | comment | added | Izzy | @Firelord Preferably yes, though root-only solutions would be better than none at all ;) | |
| Jun 24, 2015 at 15:13 | comment | added | Firelord♦ | Hi Izzy! Considering the comments (above), does it mean that you need a solution considering a non-rooted device in mind? | |
| May 13, 2015 at 12:22 | comment | added | Izzy | @user3344236 too worrysome, especially as I'm not an Android dev. I currently use a "web based solution" (similar to that "Google Play lookup"), as there doesn't seem to be a native solution here (yet?). | |
| May 13, 2015 at 10:50 | comment | added | ares777 | So the second idea is to write yourself a tool which runs via adb shell... without using modified adbd on device and without pushing some files there. I think it will take you some time to accomplish this (if ever you succeed) :D | |
| May 13, 2015 at 10:37 | comment | added | Izzy | @user3344236 I'm aware of that possibility; but it is not always an option to install something to the device in question, especially not a self-compiled binary (I sometimes get handed-in devices which are not rooted, and have to keep "forensics-like conditions" – i.e. "do not alter the device, just explore it"). | |
| May 13, 2015 at 10:15 | comment | added | ares777 | Just an ideea (I think you tried already?). Why you just don't compile aapt for android and run instead from shell? :D | |
