Hi ,
I tried to replace old pre GoogleMaps and youtube apps with the newest from market , not only update..
I mean wanted to stay updated even after hard Reset .
I updated maps and youtube apps from market.
From here starts the problem story..
1- Rom Toolbox creates backups of installed apps in folder (App_Manager)
I don't know it like titanium backup or not !!
2- I copied 2 apps from backup folder .. but their names are different from system apps (Maps.apk - com.google.maps)
3- I pasted them in (System/app)
and deleted system (youtube.apk - Maps.apk) using ES Explorer
and renamed backuped apps to (youtube.apk - Maps.apk)
4- back to apps I found youtube icon but with old backuped name (com.google.youtube) .. and it worked
5- maps also has old name but no maps icon !!
found 3 green android icons .. Navigation - Maps - don't remember the third
6- tried to open one ..was navigation..opened but didn't work
tried to open Maps from it .. but force close to maps .. followed by force close to navigation
tried to open maps from menu but always force close and never opened !!!
7- I decided to delete them and install them - not update - from market from start..then move them to system folder .
I deleted both .. tried to install from market
and Message appeared .. duplicate provider authority
8- tried to search to solve problem and read about packages.xml
in data/system
and deleting phrases containing maps
I did it
but still no good result
------------------
I know that was so stupid to do especially I'm NOOB !!
Please help .. tell me what to do
Now I have No Maps No youtube
I'm Rooted with stock Rom
Remove them completly from system/app folder then install titanium backup now download them fresh from the market.
Once installed, open titanium then look for the apps you downloaded eg maps.
Long press it and a menu pops up, click convert to system app.
Follow the same procedure for all apps you want to update or if you update an app look in titanium and it will show (updated) next to it, long press and.select integrate update into rom.
thanks
Thank you Intel007
yesterday, I left phone alone after i failed
it must felt it's wrong and when i came back to it
it apologized to me - yes phone -
its apologize was "I'll never do this again,I'm sorry "
and every thing went perfectly !!!
I downloaded maps and youtube from market ..and it smoothly downloaded and also installed
even they went to sd card without i move them !!!
I moved them back to internal memory
and used ES explorer to rename and move from data/app to system/app
I restarted phone
and....
Every thing was just perfect
Ok I accept your apologize my dear phone, Don't repeat this again hahahaha

Hi
Installed CM7, then google apps.
Everything is working fine, but no voice on navigation.
So I downloaded google apps again ( saved in SD Card/Downloads )
Cleared each google apps data & cache, then rebooted into recovery and flashed google apps again.
Phone has restarted and nothing has changed ! The google apps are still their, but I didn't get to select what I want installing.
Could this be because the flash file wasn't in the root of the SD Card ?
How do I get voice navigation working ?
Thanks ..
I think it's this app that needs to be installed. Just pick the right one for you. Navigation should automatically promt you to install it for you, it's what it did for me a few months ago.
Hi

Hi
after a reboot it's now working..
THANKS
Dear Forum members!
Today I wanted to modify the smiles in the Mms.apk system app..
when i Copied back and tried to isntall, my phone started to reboot and not come back... (I know of course I mistake
From ADB I fixed my phone but just a half success, I copyed back the original Mms.apk and changed the permissions to 644, my phone boots up normally, but I still can't install the apk.. if i try to isntall from system/app it says: Replace app.. (I dont see in any list to be installed) If I press Ok, starting to install, then says: X App not installed. In downloaded apps I see messaging with 0 kilobytes, i can remove. After this if i try to install from system/apps it dont want to replace but the same thing happens... (X App not installed) Another interesting thing. On my Sd folder I still have a copy of Mms.apk, if I enter into this directory withy any file explorer, its quit I have ftp server where i can rename to mms.app -for example. In this case the explorers are not quit But I have no chance to install like user and not like root?..
Of course i have rooted my phone and it works.
Is someone have any idea?
thanks: Karoly
Please help me
I installed to my phone a catlog to read out what happens durring the installation.. I see in the log there is no odex file in the mms.apk ... Is someone can suggest me a solution to install back my factory mms application? I really don't want to reinstall my system because of this problem. Currently I use the latest android update 4.1.2. I have too much settings and apps on the phone :S
Thank you in advance.
Greets: Karoly
If your on a stock Google ROM (Yakju?) you should be able to download the factory image and fastboot flash just the system.img & your apps & data should be fine.
Hi. Thanks your answer.
I tried to flash only the system yesterday, wipe caches and fix permissions, my datas remained, but the mms app still not works.. nothing changed. Is it possible maybe to install this apk from recovery (cwm) mode?
Im sure if i reflash everything will work but i dont want to lose my apps, so i'd like to fight for it if its possible

Hello !
I recently rooted my Xperia M (4.1.2, 15.1.B.0.2, SuperSU) and cleaned out a few system apps I didn't want (mainly anything linked to social media stuff).
Unfortunately, I tried deleting the Album app to use one I find better, but it seems the system needs it to set wallpapers.
I re-installed it as a normal app (on the internal storage).
The problem :
Wenever the system tries to access the resizing tool (wallpapers and a few things in apps I use), I get a "com.android.album has stopped working" or "Album has stopped working" message. I looked around, and I believe it is because I deleted the "SemcPhotoEditor.apk", or because Album is no longer a system app.
What I tried :
I tried using a file manager (Root Explorer) to copy SemcPhotoEditor.apk to the /system/app/ folder, but it fails and the phone immediately reboots (same thing with Root Browser).
On top of that, I tried installing a SemcPhotoEditor.apk I got from someone's clean system dump, but it can't read it correctly.
Any Help ?
Could anyone help me figure out how to repair my Album app (I tried re-installing it), or help me install the SemcPhotoEditor.apk ?
PS : sorry for the title, I forgot a "."...

Hello all,
I cann't find a solution to install apps in sideload on my Pixel 2XL.
It was after flashing version 10 in the beginning of september.
After a lot of trying I give up and hope someone else here can help me.
My Pixel 2XL is unlocked but not rooted.
Normally I do the sideload by transfer an apk to my dropbox. After that I start it up and do what the system tells me.
Nowadays I got a return of a message in dropbox that -it is impossible to open the apk and download an app to open the apk-.
After that I download the apk to my download folder to try again. Then, when trying to startup, I get a popup with the name off the apk, the version nr, the size and packagename.
There is also a button to view apk content. When I push that button the right folders of the apk are indeed visible.
There are also 3 options. One to install, one to go to playstore and one to stop further actions and go back.
When I try to use the button install the result is that nothing happened, no signal, no message from the system, no popup, really nothing.
You all know that this is not what I want. I just want to install the apk. I have tried it with a few other apk's with the same results. :crying:
Before the last OTA upgrade to android 10 it was normal to install with these methods.
Thanks for who can helping me and others for trying to help me.
Greetings.

Have you enabled install apps from unknown sources? You'll also need to enable apps to install apps from what I can see in android 10. If you pull up an apps indignation you can expand the options and there will be an option to allow it to install apps, which Dropbox may need. The first one needs to be enabled to install apks from the download folder.

Thanks for helping me.
I did all these settings before.
Now I tried to open another filemanager (Google Files) and that did the job.
I don't know why installing in dropbox or installing in es file explorer doesn't do the same with equal settings.
Maybe an idea to uninstall and re-install these apps?
Anyway, a lot of thanks for your answer.

Android 10, install from unknown sources is like an app permission now, you have to grant it to things like chrome (download apk and install) and file managers rather than a global setting for phone. Safer as you trust an app o do it rather than letting some malware in background filling your phone with crap.

Uninstalling and reinstalling will not work, as I've done that with my modded version of ES File Explorer. This is a change in Android itself.
Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Special App Access > Install Unknown Apps. A list of apps will appear. Select an app and toggle the switch.
NOTE: Dropbox is on the list, but at least on my device my modded version of ES File Explorer is not.
