In general, to browse any folder, do something like "./adb shell ls /path/to/folder".

But for installed packages, the more useful command is:
./adb shell pm list packages -f


For example, maybe you tried to use nookMarket to update apdfViewer, but it failed?

Well, run "./adb shell pm list packages -f" and look for apdfViewer:
...
package:/system/app/apdfViewer.apk=com.googlecode.apdfviewer
...

Yeah, it's installed in the system folder (/system/app/), which we don't want. So, let's remove it:

./adb shell rm /system/app/apdfViewer.apk
./adb uninstall com.googlecode.apdfviewer

After this, you should be able to install it normally from nookMarket.


By the way, be very very careful what you remove from the system folder!
