Hi everybody, this is my first post ever. I hope this is not a stupid question :-) I noticed that there are three ways to install an app in an android device: 1. adb install <some-app> 2. adb shell && pm install <some-app> 3. you can manually push the apk file to /system/app or /data/app Are there differences among these three methods? I used to believe that the android package manager keeps a list of apps installed on the device, and thus can quickly locate an app for intents. But option 3 above seems to suggest that it doesn't. So what does `adb install' really do?
