Since the android support of my device shows a strange behavior, Iwould like to reinstall it. For making the reinstall the lost android apps easier it would be great to have list of the installed android apps before reinstalling the android support. Is there an easy way to list the installed android apps?

Thanks, the reinstallation works fine, but did not solve my issues with app that starts sometimes working with enomous delay of 10 to 15 minutes.

The installed apps are in :

/home/.android/data/app

On Xperia XA2, 10 and other android 8.1 alien-dalvik: it's directories containing the various split APKs, the prebuitlt libraries and the AOT compiled dinaries.

On Jolla C, Xperia X and other 4.4 alien-dalvik: it's a collection of APKs.

Update:

As reported in the comments below (thanks for.pointing out!) :

Jolla 1 uses /data/app and /opt/alien/data/app instead (this smartphone has a different layout using BTRFS subvolumes instead of LVM partitions).

On my Jolla Phone (SFOS 3.0.1.11) there is no /home/.android!

I got /data/app and /opt/alien/data/app.

So in my case I would type in terminal:

ls /data/app > /home/nemo/applist

ls /opt/alien/data/app > /home/nemo/applist2

Thanks that's I've been looking for.

@Pohli , oh yeah, right, I completely forgot that Jolla 1 uses multiple sub-volumes in a single BTRFS partition (and not multiple different LVM partitions) and thus has yet another layout.

Thanks for pointing out!

You ask for an easy way: just install 'Quick Launcher' from Jolla store.

The comments in the store say this app does not work on 3.2. Last update was 2015, so it looks unmaintained.

@Sebix: Oops; you're right. It doesn't work for its main purpose -- launching apps. It does work for listing all installed apps though.
