Make sure you set the correct permissions for the files once they're pushed to /system/app/.

EDIT: Enter "exit" next to the "dollar sign" before doing the above.

Or you can put all of the downloaded apps in a folder and do the following:
1. cd into the folder where the .apks are.
2.
Code:
adb push *.apk /system/app/


Does that push all of them at once if so what is the *

 

[mkthnx001]

Yes, it pushes all .apk files in the current directory. The "*" is a wildcard; you don't replace "*" with anything, you enter it as is.

I have them all in 1 folder and what is (cd into the folder where the .apks are)

Okay, well, here's an example. First, open CMD (the command prompt)

Say I have the .apks stored in my "Downloads" folder. I would do the following:

C:\Users\person> cd Downloads
C:\Users\person\Downloads> adb push *.apk /system/app/

Of course this will only work on Windows Vista and Windows 7. If you're using an older version of Windows, let me know.

EDIT: My mistake. Ignore all of that. Do this instead:

C:\Users\person> cd Downloads
C:\Users\person\Downloads> adb push *.apk /sdcard/
C:\Users\person\Downloads> adb shell
$ su
# mv /sdcard/*.apk /system/app/

What do you mean? You shouldn't be renaming anything.

Reread my post above, I made a mistake, and edited it. (I forgot we're working with a Droid X, not Droid 1 )

 

[Twist0fate]

You did, but you should also reread my post; I edited it.

 

[Twist0fate]

when i type in C:\Users\person\Downloads> adb push *.apk /sdcard/ though it says cannot stat "*.apk": no such file or directory

 

[Twist0fate]

same thing if i use C:\Users\person\Downloads> adb push *.apk /system/app/
