Have the warm Rom and now when I try to download flash player from market it won't install
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It is probably already installed. Many roms come with apps like that pre-installed. Often times these pre-installed apps don't attach themselves to the market.
The result is that the market shows you have never downloaded it, but if you try to download it, it can't install over top of the existing one.
You have two options. One is use something like Titanium backup to find the Adobe Flash APK. It has an option to "attach to market".
The other option is to use any root explorer and remove the existing Adobe flash APK. After you un-install, then delete, reboot your phone. Then go into the market, and download flash player.

Noob question here....
I am trying to install the latest version of Swype (v2.15.56.14870)
I have an older version which came preinstalled on my SGS and therefore is a system application. Is there anyway i can install this newer version without having to root my phone?
Perhaps the "update.zip" in recovery mode..
I've tried putting the newer app on my phone, both external sd and internal sd then trying to install with Astro. I only get the option to "UnInstall" "Upgrade" or "Launch"
If i select upgrade a message popus up with, "This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?"
I hit "OK" then "Install" ....a few seconds later phone states, "Application not installed"
I am starting to assume that rooting is the only way to install the newer version, given that it is a system application. However if anyone knows of a method without root then please advise on correct procedure.
Thank you.
I think with preinstalled swype you have a swype apk in /system/app (which is why you cannot uninstall) and there's a swype lib in /system/lib. If you had root I think you can just delete these and its gone.
After that you could install the new one normally.

Can you do it with ADB?
You will need to root your phone. It shouldn't be too hard to do. What phone do you have?
I don't think there's anyway around it without rooting.
What you would need to do is backup the built in Swype (Just in case anything goes wrong.) Delete the system files related to it which you would need root permissions to do. Then restart your phone. Install the new version of Swype.
I did this the other day since I got an invite to the Swype beta.
I never really found a proper guide on how to update the Samsung Salaxy S pre-installed Swype and after figuring out how to do it i thought i'd share it with whoever needed it.
1) To update the pre-installed Swype to Swype beta you have to have root access or else this isn't going to work
2) Download "Root App Remover" and "Root Explorer" from the android market
3) Run Root App Remover (it will take a minute for it to initially scan the phone for system and user apps)
4) Using Root App Remover go to system apps scroll down to Swype tap it and press recycle, to completely uninstall it (which you have to do) press menu then "SystemApp Recycler" and uninstall it.
5) Run Root Explorer and press the "Mount R/W" button at the top if it isn't already selected, after that to go "system" folder then the "lib" folder and delete the file "libswypecore.so" (if it isn't there then go back into system and then back again)
6) After that go into the "data" folder then the "data" folder and delete "com.android.android.inputmethod" file (if its not there then quit root explorer)
7) After that go to the Swype Beta Website and register, go through all the various steps untill you've finished downloading and installing the Swype Installer.
8) Run Swype Installer and go through all the steps, then download and install the Swype Beta, generate the license using the installer and your done the newest Swype beta is now installed one you Samsung Galaxy S
Sorry if this guide is too long i just tried to explain it in detail. I Hope this guide helped you install the newest Swype beta, if you have any questions feel free to ask i'll get back to you as soon as possible.
ENJOY SWYPING!!!
Thanks for the guide. I used Titanium to remove the old version. After a reboot the new one installed just fine
Do u find the swype 3 beta much better than what came with our phones? I'm on jsd.

It seems quite a bit faster and the horizontal word choice bar is so much better than the intrusive popup list. I like it a lot more than the stock version.
Well i have just found the answer to a question i posted a while back:
What happened to BlindType?
The answer is here. Swype now incorporates many of the features that BlindType had including the movable keyboard!
Thanks, your method worked...

The easiest way:
1) Gain root
2) Install Super Manager (from Market)
3) Enable root mode on Super Manger (under Settings)
4) Delete Swype (APK-Manager -> search for swype -> long press and delete),
5) Reboot
6) Install Swype Beta

Yep, definitely worth updating to the new beta since it doesn't take much effort to uninstall the pre-installed outdated version of Swype that came with the phone anyways
Very nice, thanks
I didn't see either of the two apps you mention, but I downloaded and used "Root Uninstaller" and "Root Browser" from the Market instead, and they worked fine...just FYI. Thanks!

I would add a step for some folks -
6a) Boot into CWM recovery, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, reboot.
Without that step, my install of Swype beta would FC upon launch but after starting over and clearing the caches, I was able to install and use no problem.
Excellent.. I am able to SWYPE Now
i followed the Titanium backup root, I uninstalled using TB did not restart and ran the Swype installer and everything worked thereafter.
I installed the tablet version and in portrait mode, the keyboard is tiny although it doesn't affect swyping, is there a way to make it slightly larger?
Swype isnt Saved as standard input??? pls help
Hi, the installation worked fine, but i have to set up swype as standard input method after rebooting my device.
How can i fix that?
hey guys i bought my kids a arnova 9 g2 for xmas but i cant seem to get the market to work is there a way to root the stock rom that is on there or do i have to flash a custom rom, i only need root so i can use arctool to install the market so a temp root would be fine, any suggestions guys
May be this?
here is how to install the android market and google apps to your arnova 9 G2
i belive this also works for all G2 devices and possibly all other devices althogh i have not tried please let me no
EDIT:- now updated to market 3.1.3 and file is now in zip format
this worked for me, you do not need a rooted device
download this:
Click here to downloads the Files
download and extract the .zip and save the files onto your device, place in the downloads folder or somewhere you will remember, use the file manager to navigate to the folder and install the apps in this order
-1.Google Services Framework
-2.OneTime Initializer
-3.Setup Wizard
-4.Talk
-5.Gmail
-6.Vending
1) After installing all the Google Market files go try to login to Gmail.
You will get an error, don't worry you are ment to
2) Now go into settings and manage apps. Click on Google framework. Clear the data if you have the option also the cache
3) Do the same thing for Gmail and clear the data if you have the option also the cache
4) turn of and on again.
5) DON'T launch the market but launch Gmail and login. It should work.
6) Now you can launch the Market.
if you follow exactly it will work
FAQ
1) how do i extract it: right click and press extract
2) how do i skip the ad?: press skip ad in top right
3)cant loginto gmail: uninstall all the apps you have just installed, restart device and try again,
4) still cant login uninstall all the gapps, factory reset and try again

If you do't like the idea of flashing.
There are some alternatives like;
Blackmarket;

get jar;
http://www.getjar.com/
or
mobilrated;

just google
But there is a risk of downloading outsite the market.
But better something then nothing at all.
cheers mate that sounds decent and ill see how they work

Hey all,
So I updated my phone to the DVD v20F ROM the other day and since then I've noticed the install button in the Android package manager doesn't work. If I select an apk, it brings up the list of permissions and the install and uninstall buttons, but only the uninstall button works. If I hit the install button nothing happens, it's like the button has no function assigned to it. Updating apps still works fine though. So does anyone know of a way to install apps to my device without using the Package Manager?
Thanks!

There are few software witch can install application without using phone for that. Also, if you go to google store with your computer and select application to install, it will not require additional clicks on your phone. I think its best way to not install additional software and give permissions, just select applications from play store using your browser.

He wants to install apps from internal storage not play store I believe.
Try adb commands.

In case that he want to use app's from store, i think its good solution.
Beside ABD commands, applications like MobileGo can be used. Connect with you computer and install it with double click.

Would you happen to know the adb commands to install a specific .apk file that is stored on my internal storage?
Thanks for the help the both of you!
Copy the app to system folder and set permissions. Then reboot
Try this, it has a built in flasher. Or even flashify from play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.namelessrom.devicecontrol
I am trying to install a app from playstore multiple times but the problem is that "i don't want to delete the app". Is there any option to install a app without deleting the one.
Example - In redmi y2 mobile phones you have a option for second space where we can install the app again from playstore without deleting app which in first space.
The same thing i needed but i need a function like multiple space where i have multiple spaces.
Please help me
you can use multi space, or island. i prefer island as it just an tab in my launcher ( as work space)

Just Google whatever app you want with ".apk" at the end, so
For example Google Maps, search "Google Maps .apk"
Then download that file, you'll have the actual file or .apk (Android app) and can install as many times as you want.
Or you can search APK Mirror or UpToDown for your app, but essentially it's the same thing, you're downloading the .apk. These 2 are sources for it, Google is just a much bigger source. You'll want make sure the version you want is noted, you'll wanna DL the right one.
