[Q] Apk Won't Install - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I have a problem, I have copied an apk from my Star B943 (rooted) android phone and when I try to install it on my Nexus 7 2013 (rooted) it says apk not installed!! I am a noob and this is my first thread but I really like the holo design of this apk but I think it won't install because my tablet is not a mediatek device or because it was a system app? Could I possibly change my build.prop or does it read something else?? I honestly have no idea but any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Why would that app run on the Nexus 7 (4.3)? More than likely the app is too old to run on this version of Jelly Bean.

Even for me its not instaling,priblem prasing package.
I disagree with ^^^

If it's having problems installing the APK due to a parsing issue it's likely either corrupt, built from an incompatible version of Android, or is otherwise incompatible with the hardware provided. It could also not be properly crypto signed, I reckon.

I think it might be not compatible with the hardware as is doesn't work on my brothers S3 running 4.2.2, and what is crypto-signing? I am quite new!
Could this apk be recompliled (Changing target sdk in manifest and then recompiling?) to be compatible or is it not possible without completely rewriting the app? Thanks

Have you tried to just put it in /system/app to see what happens instead of clicking it to install it?

I tried that. It doesn't show up in the app drawer and TB says it is there but not installed. Even after changing permissions.

I betting that this won't work. It could rely on framework from the other tablet, kind of like TouchWiz widgets not working on another launcher other than the stock TW Launcher.

[Q] Desire hd browser port

Does anyone know how I might be able to port the desire hd browser? I love the pinch to bring up windows feature. I'm currently running Skyraider 3.3. I tried extracting it from the sense hd rom and moving it to system/app but that wouldn't install. I'm sure I'm approaching it from a way too simplistic angle. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
I'm not sure if you could do this...
The Desire is running the new sense, so this could be a problem?
Maybe if IncDoes chimes in he would know, or if you want to get ahold of him
Let us know how this goes!
how did you move it to your skyraider rom? if you used root explorer then you need to change permissions and then do a reboot.

Yeah I used Root Explorer. I changed permissions to read/write, moved out the old browser, moved in the new browser, changed permissions back, and finally did a reboot. No browser was recognized so I actually went in and hit install but it said install unsuccessful.
any luck with this?
Try this one. It is from the latest leak and does have pinch.
It is for only a deodexed ROM not stock and will work if pushed to /system/app/ with adb.

Well it took me a while to figure out how to push with adb. I didn't know you just do it in the tools folder, I thought you ran adb shell first.
I appreciate your help, but it didn't work just immediately force closes.
Thanks anyways.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be much help, but maybe I can offer a little explanation as to why it wont work..
From what I can tell, most if not all the HTC stuff (widgets, apps, whatever) rely on some values from /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk. Basically it is all intertwined into a giant mess. As far as I can guess, the only way to get it to work would be to figure out what values the HD browser is looking for but can't find in the stock Inc framework. Then the stock framework would have to be edited, presumably using values from the HD framework. And as you probably guessed, just trying to run the HD framework on an otherwise stock Inc rom will send you into a never-ending boot loop.
I could be way off base, but that's my understanding of it at least.

You are on the money. On top of resources, I believe there may be a few framework classes required to get the new functionality working properly. This will be a cat and mouse game for a while. Certainly not just an apk push. You will need to make a change, log the failure, find out what its looking for, add said resource/class, rinse, and repeat.

[Q] Issue Flashing APK to data/app

Hello. Hopefully someone can help me with this.
I have created an Elite themed Launcher Pro (based on Koni's Elite series I rom). I have all the framework modified and the apk ready to flasha gain.
I started by using the zip from the Myn's Rom launcher pro and replaced the framework files. i flash it and it does place the apk in data/app however the phone doesnt recognize that it is present. Nothing shows in applications under settings and cant get it to "run".
When i move the apk to system/app it works perfectly.
anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this. I am sure i probably just missed something silly but i cant seem to get it going for the life of me.

Only thing I can think of is when modifying it got signed as system file maybe? Not too sure cause I modified the original LP apk and reinstalled from SD root like normal app. Seems this would be easier than having to flash it but just my thoughts.
Also, why not just leave in system/app?
The main reason for not leaving it in system/app (and also for the flash) is because it doesnt put the dock background on by default. Those who would like to use it have to go and set it them selves. Which isn't a huge deal by itself but trying to make it as easy as possibe for the users.

Downloading apks from Google Play and using on a different phone

I've managed to extract an apk of a (free) application that is restricted to the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, when I try to install this apk on my Galaxy Nexus, it says 'application not installed'. I'm assuming this is because the S3's device ID is integrated into the apk file, which is why the apk installs fine onto the S3 that it was extracted from.
How does one get around this? Surely it's possible, as applications such as Google Wallet are extracted and shared for all devices on the internet within hours of an update. Could somebody give me a guide on how to do this?
Just a thought, install on your s3, titium back up , copy the backup to your GN and install

It's my mother's S3; I can't root it.
Add her email account then go to play store menu and click her email under accounts and her play suite will be on there. Just make sure you don't sync when setting it up or will get all her emails. Then remove her account. app will still be installed and will update. If you flash you'll have to do it again

Don't need root. Just add her under accounts on phone. I did it once. My friend had tmobile. I'm sprint. Apps are tied to email account. All you do is switch user in the store and hers will be there and yours won't until you switch back. Get app. Switch back to yours. Go back to phone settings and remove her account.

Is it even possible to pull files from system folders via ADB command without root?
Isn't there some Apps that can temporary root your device withou actually touch system to root it?
Or why don't you root it and then afterwards unroot it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I think you will be able to pull this off in a custom recovery.
Beamed from my Maguro
OK, so I've realised that the apk that I've pulled from the S3 works fine. I had an online friend install it on his phone and it installs perfectly. I then tried installing it on a Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2. Both of those threw up the same error: 'application not installed'. This has lead me to conclude that the apk, and the application, have device checks built-in. It won't install on anything other than an S3.
Does anyone know how to decompile apks to remove these device checks? I know it's possible, but how complicated is it?

[How to] Google Wallet on AOSP ROMs

This brief guide is to help others get Google Wallet working on AOSP based ROMs. There are guides already by Dafoxs and Antiochasylum but they are apparently for Samsung based ROMs and the lib files, etc are incompatible with AOSP based ROMs. Personally, I tried several times and the NFC setting kept getting wiped out so I had to do restores. These instructions are what ManelScout4Life posted and the thread is at his request. All the credit goes to the DEVs that made this possible - I am NOT a developer - Seriously... Lastly, the typical disclaimer applies - I take no responsibility for bricking your phone, etc. I highly recommend making a nandroid backup before any mod like this. These instructions worked on JellyBAM 3.2 compiled by ManeelScout4Life - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069164
1) The lib files should not be modified like the posts for the SamSung based ROMs. However, you will need the modified Google Wallet .apk that is included in the zip you can download from their threads. I used the attached file that I downloaded from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037372&highlight=google+wallet
2) I already had NFC enabled so ensure it is on in settings if you haven't already.
3) You need to modify /system/build.prop. I used Root Explorer (remember to change to RW) and you have to modify three lines. I made a copy of the existing build.prop before editing because you will revert to the existing file once complete to match your actual device.
3a) ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
3b) ro.product.name=yakju
3c) ro.product.device=maguro
4) I then rebooted before installing Google Wallet from the Play store. I then opened the app and performed the setup. The other guides mention getting FCs on NFC and to continue on but I never had any and the setup completed. YMMV.
5) Once the setup is complete with the version of the app from the store, you need to replace the app with the modified version that you downloaded in step 1. I used TB to force stop the app before I deleted it from /data/app.
6) I then use Root Explorer again to place the attached apk in /system/app (remember RW). I checked permissions and removed the group write check but again am not certain if that was necessary.
7) I then changed the build.prop.bak file to build.prop so it is back to before you started.
8) Reboot and hopefully it will work.
Hopefully, this helps and is clear.
Note: I see a prompt in the app shown in the attached pic but it will still work. It is really just a warning about a rooted device.
I pretty much did this, and it didn't work until I fixed permissions on the modded file that I moved to system/apps at the last step, like I saw in the YouTube video

So, I assume you removed the group write permission like I mentioned in step 6 and that fixed it for you? I assume it is the same video referenced in the link I have in step 1. The person checked permissions and removed that one check but he didn't say you had to. I did it anyway and maybe that is why it worked for me the first time that I followed the instructions I listed - from ManelScout4Life.

told me to reset the app...and its hanging at 98%...thoughts?
If you reboot and check the "about device", does it show Galaxy Nexus before you even download the app?

I assume the reason for the modified app is for it to continue working after you change the build.prop back to an unsupported device. I guess on AOSP ROMs where S-pen apps don't work, then the proper build.prop isn't as important. You will lose access to external sd card possibly and other issues possibly.

With the Galaxy Nexus build.Prop and Google wallet downloaded from the store, the setup needs to complete before you move to the next steps of reverting the build.prop and pushing the modded app. Those steps are to keep the app working without having issues due to a Galaxy Nexus build.prop. I would delete the app, and start over. I assume you never got an email stating you activated wallet.

Also, did you ever use the steps/zip posted by dafoxs or the other thread (forgot the name)? If so, your NFC setting might be gone or you have incompatible lib files, etc. I would revert to the nandroid backup if you made one before following those procedures which are for Samsung based ROMs rather than AOSP/CM10

Modified build.prop and now my phone won't turn on. Any help?
---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------
Took out battery, replaced it. Boot to recovery and restored Nandroid. Not sure what went wrong but I think I'll give up hopes of Google Wallet. Made me a little skiddish now.
This method of getting Google Wallet appears to break both Google Now and video output on cm10.1 variants that are running the open source audio hal.
Google Now goes into the 'Didn't catch that, retry?' Loop.
Steps to reproduce:
Install cm10.1 later than 01/26/2013
Allow it to boot and stabilize.
Setup Google Now.
Modify build.props to reflect Galaxy Nexus, yakju, maguro as dictated in OP.
Reboot.
Google Now will now have the 'Didn't catch that' error if you attempt voice recognition.

Thanks,
I can't confirm this works on 10.1 (Android 4.2.x) - only confirmed on 4.1.x even though I expect Google Now, etc will be fine after reverting your build.prop. I'm "assuming" Google Wallet will work as indicated in these steps but Google Now, etc may have problems while the bulld.prop stilll indicates the wrong device - temporary until your wallet is working.
However, were you able to get Google Wallet to setup properly?
If you did get it working, did you try changing the build.prop back to original? I don't know if that would solve the Google Now but your steps listed don't indicate that you finished reverting the build.prop.
Please reply with your results for others.
Hello -
I did actually revert the build.props file to the original settings, and Google Now continued to give the same error. I'm about to test it without opening Google now until after the revert and reboot.
Thanks for your help!

[Request] Secret Flag Modified Google Search Apk

Question is, can someone modify the apk as below???
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-enable-voice-prompt-in-search-results-video/
Turns out, there's a secret flag within Search that lets you use the hotword, set by default to 'Google,' anywhere in search results instead of just the home Activity. By default, Search will let you say "Google" to activate voice input only in the main Search screen, after which you'd have to tap the Back button in order to use it again. It's nice, but it's not very fluid, as you have to keep touching your device.
The secret flag enables it in search results, so you can perform search after search after search without ever touching your phone or tablet.
As for the technical details, the flag is located in res/values/bools and is called hotword_from_results. To activate it, one would flip it from false to true, like so:
<bool name="hotword_from_results">true</bool>

I decompiled, made the above changes, recompiled with no errors, and got it to install but it force closes every time i try to open it. Maybe someone else can provide some insight. I used AutoAPKTool to make the edits
Cans someone resolve this? I'd do it myself but having tons of trouble getting my device to show on adb (after many tries, different methods)
I tried to make an Xposed module to patch it on the fly, but it is not working:
Code:
resparam.res.setReplacement("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", "boolean", "hotword_from_results", true);
upon starting the module, I get "Resource$NotFoundException", I tried other forms of the setReplacement method but none worked. I am still new to Xposed, so maybe I am doing this in a wrong way, attached are the sources of the Eclipse project in case someone can make it work.

I just modded this and got it running w/o issue.
I'm on CM 10.2 so I had to do some adjusting as there was an update installed to /data/app, with the original in /system/app.
I just uninstalled the update via the Play Store, and then moved the original (for CM it's QuickSearchBox.apk to QuickSearchBox.apk.bak), and adb pushed the newly modded apk (attached), to /system/app.
After doing all that, BOOM goes the dynamite.
Works for me, YMMV.

Are you rooted? I needed to make this a system app, as mentioned, to avoid signature conflicts, etc.
If so, I can make a zip to install to /system/app for you. I don't think it will work (as you have discovered), if you try and install as a standard app to /data/app, which is what clicking the download link and attempting to install is doing.

Here's a flashable zip. Though, because it has to place the APK in the /system/ folder (partition), the zip (out of the box), is only likely to work on the Nexus 4, since mount points are going to differ by phone. Any other phone you'll have to modify the script.
As mentioned previously, if you want to try and flash, FIRST, be sure to uninstall 'Google Search' from the play store.
Since I don't think there is a way to move a file in edify, and I'm too lazy to include a shell script to run a move command, I instead delete QuickSearchBox.apk if it is in your /system/app/ folder (instead of backing it up if you want to restore later), and then copy over qs.apk (the modded version).
I restored to original, ran the above process on CM 10.2, and got the results expected / desired (i.e. the attached zip is confirmed working in my setup).
It works on PA 3.99. However you'll need to set voice to US English or it won't work.

Would be nice if this could be activated with any language.
Is it possible by changing any other flag?

Are you rooted? I needed to make this a system app, as mentioned, to avoid signature conflicts, etc.
If so, I can make a zip to install to /system/app for you. I don't think it will work (as you have discovered), if you try and install as a standard app to /data/app, which is what clicking the download link and attempting to install is doing.
