it worked fine for me = THANKFULLY !

Did you also make sure there wasn't another vending.apk in /system/apps? Nothing should be going wrong if you're following the directions posted above unless it's some bad download. Try the new market that is out. It's awesome and works flawlessly on my Epic. Make sure you rename it vending.apk once you put in on your sd card. Use root explorer to copy/paste it to /system/apps.

Try installing the app I gave you regularly or try the new market app that should be in the first page of general

How do I restore removed apps?

I am using mikfroyo's latest...searched forums...sorry if this is answered..how do I install the apps in the removed folder?...tried esstrong,monsterapp.... I an trying to install sprint navigation back on my phone...thanks for the help!

Astro is no go
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
why not? navigate through the sdcard to the removed apps folder, pick the .apk you want to install and tap (don't long press) it. it should then give you the option to install. make sure you have checked the unknown sources checkbox in applications so it will let you install apks from the sdcard.
Click to install...gives me all the access warnings...finishes installing and displays an error message that says it failed ?

Download rom manager from market.open, flash clock work mod, than go down and flash alternative recovery, witch is amo ra.than reboot into recovery, and do a clean of cache, dalvic.don't do data.

Gotcha...thank you..before I try I noticed something... In astro under details of sprint navigation it shows that the file size is 0...maybe the app is missing? I don't understand why it goes through the whole install if thats the case?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Well that could be the problem.okay.go into google and search fire sprint stock apps on xda.this should bring a topic with the apks.

You can't just click on the app to install on mikfroyo. You have to push the app to the system apps folder.

Issue with apk and zip

O wow my phone is all jacked up. No matter how I put. This apk it on my phone it shows up as a zip. I email it, download it, transfer with cable. It shows as an apk on my pc but only shows as a zip on my phone. Hrmm somethings not right. It is working for other ppl. I try to extract with androzip and I get all the internal stuff no apk. So I tried to flash the zip and it locked up my phone. Any ideas?

How do i manually install apk. As system app full tutorial please

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
exactly what. Are u trying to install?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
using a file manager(i use root explorer)go to /data/app. this is where all market and side loaded apks are installed. long press the app you wish to move and when menu pops up select move. then back out(do not back out of manager) and goto /system/app and paste here. restart. i like to fix permisions when i restart but may not be neccesary.

It will work on stock (odexed), you have to delete the .odex file first tho. (/system/app/SecMms.odex) Then clear the Dalvik Cache so it can rebuild it at start up.
If you leave the .odex file there, then the new classes.dex that's now in his apk won't write to the dalvik cache. Then when you launch said app, it passes by the Dalvik and goes for the .odex that's not modded and crash.
I'll play with this later, but this is a much needed mod. Thanks OP

[Q] Error updating Google Keyboard

I'm running the latest Wicked Rom and play store says there's an update for the Google Keyboard which I run. It then tells me "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
I can't find a way to uninstall the current google keyboard so I can update. Any ideas?
If its in /system/app/ rensme it with te extension .bak. then reboot and try to install it again.

Hey Doc, thanks for the very quick reply. I checked the app folder in system per your instructions but there was no Google keyboard listed. Any other ideas?
Then I guess its not a system app. (It may have IME somewhere in the name btw. Sometimes the keyboards don't have the word keyboard in the file name. For example, Samsungs keyboard is SamsungIME.apk.
Look in App management and see if you can uninstall it there.

Thanks Serio, so I renamed it with .bak, ran the update but got the same error message unfortunately.
I also looked in app manager, but it doesn't give me an option to uninstall it, I cleared the data and tried again but the same error.
Did you remember to reboot after renaming?
Go into /data/data/ and look for the folder for the keyboard. Something like com.google.latinime
Rename that folder too. I usually just put a Z or A in front of the name to make it easy to find.

Rebooted, same error. This is more of a curiosity issue and not really a major problem...I'd love to find an answer to this though.
Lol!
No biggie. We've all done it I'm sure!
