Yeah... filtering out everything installed in the /system directory did
most of it.. but not quite all..
I've only tested it on an emulator so far, and the only installed app
was mine, so I want to get only the one app. Filtering out the /system
apps left only 5.. 3 of which were example apps... but my guess is that
on phones there are going to be a lot more... I just don't know what
they will be.
It would be nice to find something that works 100% of the time...but
this is ok for now.
If anyone can think of anything else, I'd really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Brad Gies

Anything installed on /system is obviously not a user app.
However, I think post-imaging system app installs would go to /data,
so that may not be definitive in both directions.

Anyone know a good (hopefully foolproof) method of determining if an app
is a system installed app vs. a user installed app.
I'm scanning the apps using PackageManager, and then looping through
them, but I want to skip the system apps as quickly and easily as
possible because my app only needs to know about the user installed
apps. Hopefully, there is something in the PackageManager info that can
be used. Oh... and it needs to be available for all SDK versions.
