list all installed packages in android adb shell

gistfile1.txt

pm list packages -f

well good

To list only user installed applications "pm list packages -3"|cut -f 2 -d ":"

adb shell "pm list packages -u -3", here adding -u also includes apps that have been uninstalled previously. (Though it doesn't work on few devices)
Source

Thanks a lot

Instead of:

sed 's/\r//g'

or:

cut -f 2 -d ":"

to get rid of the trailing carriage-return and/or newline, I use:

tr -d [:cntrl:]

I deleted the package, but it still appears on Android as "not installed", it's missing the delete folder, how do I?
Android without root, with adb shell ($) ...

@reach2jeyan Would be nice to see your command, or any of these commands, sort in order of the last singlet(?) in the app name. in other words, by 'gamma' in "com.beta.gamma".

If you're trying to install an app via ADB, do adb install package.name.apk in the same folder as your current CMD is pointing into, or ADB folder.

Any idea how to do the same in Windows 10? (not in bash)

@afilp the command Anuboiz posted earlier works fine in windows 10, if you're talking about installing packages, the comment above yours should work fine too.

How about to list all the packages for a specific --user ?

This gives a list of just 3rd party apps (or it does on my firestick 4k) if it helps:
shell sh -c 'cmd package list packages -f -3' | sed -e 's/.*=//' | sort

adb shell cmd package list packages

list packages [-f] [-d] [-e] [-s] [-3] [-i] [-l] [-u] [-U] [--uid UID] [--user USER_ID] [FILTER]

Prints all packages; optionally only those whose name contains
the text in FILTER.
Options:
-f: see their associated file
-d: filter to only show disabled packages
-e: filter to only show enabled packages
-s: filter to only show system packages
-3: filter to only show third party packages
-i: see the installer for the packages
-l: ignored (used for compatibility with older releases)
-U: also show the package UID
-u: also include uninstalled packages
--uid UID: filter to only show packages with the given UID
--user USER_ID: only list packages belonging to the given user

adb shell 'pm list packages' | sed 's/.*://g'

Uninstall all installed apks.
adb shell 'pm list packages -f' | grep '/data/app/' | sed -e 's/.*=//' | while read comm; do echo "uninstall $comm"; adb uninstall $comm; done;

Nice one liner: " adb shell 'pm list packages -f' "

List all a package works even without quotes:

adb shell pm list packages -f

Other Commands

• adb shell list packages (list package names)
• adb shell list packages -r (list package name + path to apks)
• adb shell list packages -3 (list third party package names)
• adb shell list packages -s (list only system packages)
• adb shell list packages -u (list package names + uninstalled)
• adb shell dumpsys package packages (list info on all apps)
• adb shell dump (list info on one package)
• adb shell path (path to the apk file)

Hi all.
I'm trying to get list of installed apps, together with as many of the next files as possible :

1. installed time
2. Updated time
3. version code
4. version name
5. app name
6. paths to each of the APK files (including split APK files)

Using ./adb shell pm list packages -f , I got only package name and the path to the base APK file.
Is it possible to get what I wrote about? Or at least the paths to the split APK files?

@hiteshsahu Using ./adb shell dump doesn't seem to work. It says: "dump: inaccessible or not found" .

How to know installed App's process? like this ↓

package.name:process.name

I'm running this from Termux and I'm getting the error: cmd: Failure calling service package: Failed transaction (2147483646)

Need help!
How to get the uses permission on all app installed?

Need help! How to get the uses permission on all app installed?

First, I know the thread is old but for all newcomers who entering the cli nix world of android I just want to say: 'pm' has been moved to become 'cmd' command instead (Call package manager) you might have seen a note on earlier android versions: NOTE: 'pm list' commands have moved! Run 'adb shell cmd package

Back to the real topic and why I came here. @sameerppradhan here is how you can list all permissions for all apps on device, I also toke some time and wrote down some other examples about listning persmissions

Below command will do what you asking for, printing * permissions for all apps installed

cmd package list permissions 

cmd package list permissions|wc -l
1752 

Example Output

 permission:com.samsung.android.app.clockpack.LOCK_PROVIDER
 permission:com.sec.epdgtestapp.permission.SERVICE
 permission:com.samsung.android.mobilservice.MIGRATION_READ
 permission:android.permission.ADJUST_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS_POLICY
 permission:com.microsoft.appmanager.BIND_CACHE_SERVICE_PERMISSION
 permission:com.samsung.android.app.telephonyui.permission.USE_PHOTORING
 permission:com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.permission.APP_SERVICE
 permission:com.google.android.gms.chromesync.permission.METADATA_UPDATED
 permission:com.samsung.android.mcfds.permission.DISABLE_HANDOFF
 permission:com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.accesspermission.GENERNAL_ACTIVITY
 permission:com.samsung.android.permission.SEM_AUTO_BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE
 .... 

And some more examples you can use:

Print permissions organized by group

cmd package list permissions -g

Print all information that is given for all aplications

cmd package list permissions -f

Just print short summary of permissions of all applications

cmd package list permissions -s

Print only the flagged permissions that is consider as dangerous for all applications

cmd package list permissions -d

Print only the permissdions the user user you choose to check will see (cmd list users for find users to choose between)

cmd package list permissions -u

• And you probably already figured it out, if you want to check specifik apps only just add the app name at end of the lines.

- wuseman

For anyone wondering about full command using adb adb shell pm list packages -f worked for me

For finding version info you can run adb shell "dumpsys package packages" which gets all package info; then you'd have to parse the output in your language of choice to pull just the package and versionName info.

@JohnLBevan This works, but how exactly do you get the app-name out of it?
Also, what do you mean "parse the output in your language of choice" ? Isn't it always in English? How would you choose a different language ? Please show an example of when it isn't in English, and why.

@JohnLBevan This works, but how exactly do you get the app-name out of it?

Ah sorry - I was describing how to get the package version; not the app.

Also, what do you mean "parse the output in your language of choice" ? Isn't it always in English? How would you choose a different language ? Please show an example of when it isn't in English, and why.

I'm talking programming/scriping/shell language, rather than human language.

@JohnLBevan Oh ok.
Do you know perhaps if it's possible to parse any kind of APK file using adb? Maybe it could help with finding the app-name?
I also wonder if there is a way to fetch the app-icon.

Hey @AndroidDeveloperLB I'm afraid I don't know much about adb itself... Best to post questions somewhere like https://android.stackexchange.com/ to get help from the community at large.

@JohnLBevan OK thanks.

Get every ID from app
