I got the message from AT&T to update my Galaxy Note II to 4.4.2 I tried to do the update. But since I rooted, after it downloaded it wouldn't install correctly. After much trying, my phone would not boot up. Would always fail. What I then did was downloaded 4.4.2 from here. I used Odin to install it and everything is fine. I have rooted again and everything works except the Samsung Keyboard (which I happen to like since it lets me use the SPen to do things).
Is there anyway to get the app and reinstall it?
Thanks.

Well, I went to my wife's phone which was not rooted and for which the update to 4.4.2 from AT&T worked just fine. Her Samsung Keyboard works. So I used the application APK Extractor to extract her Samsung Keyboard APK. Then on my phone I tried to install it. After it went through all the screens showing me what it would do I touched "install". But after it tried, it came up with "X App not installed".
I uninstalled the old Samsung Keyboard app (since it didn't work anyway) using Titanium Backup. It gave me a bunch of warnings but I said to go ahead. Then I tried installed the Samsung Keyboard again but no matter what I did I get "X App not installed".
Anyone have any ideas?
I want this keyboard because it works properly with the S pen.

Do you have a custom recovery loaded?
Or download a file manager app that can mount the /system directory as read/write.
Like here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clearvisions.explorer&hl=en
here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en
or here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en
(pretty sure this one does)
I use the second one. I have paid version......
After you have a file manager installed, copy the SamsungIME.apk you got from your wife's phone to /system/app.
Then change permissions on the file to rw r r
Thanks a lot. I will try that. Hopefully that will solve my problem. I was surprised that when I installed the 4.4.2 from the download here that the keyboard didn't work. The ROM I installed on my phone is http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-att-i317-ucucne5-mj4-stock-odex-t2802189 (Odin version).

If you do install it you can try my ROM.

It's based on Zen's with some of the Samsung and ATT crap removed.
No I don't have a custom recovery. I kept the standard one so I could get AT&T updates. But once I rooted and did a couple of other things, that stopped working. It would download the updates but would fail during install. Even unrooting wouldn't fix it.
So I now I will go to a custom recovery. CWM? TWRP? Do you have a preference? It seems that TWRP seems to be the preferred one by most people.
I guess it is time to start playing with ROMs. Other than writing a couple of apps, I mostly use the phone just to surf the web, pick up email (and occasional phone calls, but not too many). I am one of those that has the grandfathered unlimited data plan although I don't really need it since I am mostly on WiFi.
AT&T signal is really good where I am. I usually get about 30 megabits down and 20 megabits via LTE at my house in Silicon Valley. The phone seems to be faster using LTE than WiFI even though my WiFi gets me (via my computer) about 55 megabits down and 15 up. I see you are also in California. Where?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Well, I installed the SamsungIME.apk in the /system/app folder. Rebooted. No keyboard. So I thought maybe I need to run the install of the Samsung keyboard app. I ran that but when it got to the point where it said installing, it came back again with "X App not installed".
Do I need the odex file or anything else?
Anything else I need to do? Any other ideas?

Do a back up and do a factory reset and just restore everything
Is KNOX preventing you from installing?

So I've got this notification that will not go away. (clearing does nothing).
When I tap on it, it says it's downloading an upgrade to what appears to be stock voicemail mail. When done, it asks
Code:
This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?
All previous user data will be saved.
When I hit "OK", I get the standard install approval screen, hit "install", then get bounced to a screen that just says "Application not installed" with just a "done" on the bottom.
Seeing as how I use Google Voice for my voicemail and not sprint, I could care less about the regular voicemail app, but being able to get rid of the notification would be great.
Any help in trying to remove this annoying notification would be awesome.
Thanks!
Just delete the sprint vvm.apk from /system/ and that should do it.
I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried moving the vvm apk out from underneath after the download finishes and the install is about to start, and no joy. I still get "not installed."
Thoughts?
I'm guessing that I have to remove this file using something other than Astro? Keeps telling me that it can't delete files, looks like the permissiosn are read only, and I can't find a way to change the permissions.
You need to be rooted to write to system. Then you can use adb or root explorer.
Sent from my FROYO'D EVO using xda app
If you're using a custom ROM Sprint stuff may not update because the developer of your ROM signed it. Check for updates with your ROM developer (website or an update tool), most of the developers have already made their own VVM update from Sprint's release.
Just another hole to cover so we can't root, just a thought.
Same problem here. Renaming the .apk via adb then rebooting did the trick.
Guys, I figured this one out today.
I got the same "unable to install" message when I tried to install the new one. First thing I did, was uninstall the stock one using Titanium backup, but any method should work the same. Then rebooted the phone and tried the install again.
It went through with no problems. Check my sig for info, but I think this should work with any custom ROM.
Also, please note that I had a copy of the install file on my SD card and I accessed it via EStrongs file explorer. Again, I don't think it matters which file explorer you use, but having it on your SD card may be the key.
Edit: I used this link to get the file on my SD card:

Did you follow my previous post?
1) DL the file on the link I provided from another thread on here.
2) Mount your SD as disk drive and click and drag it onto your SD card.
3) Uninstall the current voicemail app on your phone (if you don't have Titanium backup paid version, you will need to use Astro or another app that can uninstall apps from the phone)
4) Reboot your phone.
5) Use a file explorer to find the zip file you put on your phone, and install it.
You should be good to go.

I followed these instructions step by step and I can get the voicemail app to load but it doesn't work. I don't get my messages, I hit the "check for updates" button and get a box that comes up and tells me there was a general error. I've updated my profile and my prl. Please let me know what I need to do to get this fixed. I'm on BS 1.5.

Well, I am not an expert by any means. I can tell you that this worked for me the first time I tried it. By any chance, can you install the old version back on? Or, did you back-up your ROM in any way where you can go back to the way your phone was before you started so at least the old app is on there and working?
If not, hopefully someone can chime in who knows more on the subject.
easiest way of fixing this should be to use SteelH's flashable vvm update zip found on his rom thread here;

I did the following steps and still no go.
1. Flashed SteelH's zip.

3. Updated my prl.
4. Rebooted.
5. Called my cell and left two voicemails.
I never got a notitication and when I try to check for updates I get a general error. And when I hit the button to change my greeting, a box comes up saying it will connect me with my voicemail, but nothing ever happens.
I found an old version of the voicemail app and tried that and I get the same results. I must be doing something wrong or there is something wrong with my phone.
Any ideas for me to try, would be greatly apperciated.

Sorry - that link will only solve the issue in the OP - how to update to the latest version of vvm (v5.1.0.34), and get rid of notifications that a new version of vvm is available.
You're having a different issue - you're having an issue getting your message notifications. Can't help you with that one.
I just restored back to a version of BS 1.3 I backed up on Monday and my voicemail worked. But I got the voicemail upgrade message so I then flashed SteelH's voicemail zip and it now works perfect. I get my messages and notifications. Now I guess I try to load BS 1.5 again. But that'll wait until another day, I don't have the time now to completely wipe my phone and set it back up.
Thanks for the help.

no prob - and BS 1.5 includes the latest vvm too, so you won't need to use that zipfile again.
edit - just noticed you were on BS before all of this - I guess it was those other steps that messed things up for you.
I don't know what happened. I was working fine until I went to BS 1.5. When I went to BS 1.5 the notification to upgrade my voicemail was gone but my voicemail didn't work, that's when I started not getting my messages or notifications. And then I started trying to load different versions of the voicemail app and trying different things. But I agree with you, it's probably something I did while setting my phone back up after BS 1.5 and didn't know I did it.
Thanks again.

Hey man that worked like a charm!
Thanks!
I've been trying to use MyBackUP Pro to backup my apps but it won't work. It just says at the top "Could not open DB for market links." and "Android Market link was not found." next to each app. Help please!
P.S. My data backs up fine, it's just my Apps that won't.
What rom are you on? Is the market working for you? If the market isnt working then, there is your problem. You need to install the gapps file that is wondering around in all the CM6 posts. Also have you tried using titanium back up? Personaly backing up apps isnt a big issue. I have an apps list on my laptop because when ever I flash a new rom I like to freshly re-install my apps so that there is no possible issues with the rom and the app. Backing up apps is over rated lol, just saying.
That's another problem. I don't think I'm rooted anymore (which is why I want to back up so I can root). A few weeks ago my internet stopped working completely (I was using the Froyo fresh rom) so I updated to Froyo update (2.0.3 or whatever) OTA. I'm not sure whether or not I lost root because MyBackUp Pro says I'm rooted but Titanium says I'm not. And my market works fine.
Dont you have to be rooted to do a nand back up or flash? I know there is something you can type in compand prompt to se if you are rooted.
Open your terminal and type in SU and if a $ comes up you are rooted. Ithink thats right.
I also am hving the same problem....I am stuck in unrooted/titanium...clockworkmod says I am unrooted....but i can't get to recovery or nandroid back up.....really annoying, because I bought My Backup Pro....and it says "Could not open DB for Market links" so each app say's "Android market link was not found".
I can access the market fine! I used "Appinstaller" (also uninstaller/appsaver) from market...It appears to back them up on my SD card....but what it wrong that I am stuck here....someone said I have to wait until someone comes up with a way to unroot froyo 2.2?
Thanks!!
Hi all,
here's how to use the new Swype beta v3.0 with awesome new features:
1. Backup your existing Swype version with Titanium Backup.
2. Uninstall your existing Swype with Titanium Backup.
3. Go to http://beta.swype.com/ , sign up and complete all the steps.
4. Complete!
That was easy
(Even though the Swype website states, that it isn't possible to use this new version on devices that came preinstalled with Swype...)
downloaded and working fine
But it only lasts 6 months before dying completely (I'm an old Archos original swype beta man) - so perhaps best to wait for "official" upgrade.
thank you js...i tried it before i read your post and somehow missed the warning about not installing...anyway thanks to your post, i tried it and it is AWESOME!! by the way, what was major c meaning when he said it would be only for 6 months? do it get disabled automatically? if so, can we go back to the old version cause we had saved it in titanium? kindly guide.
What changes it includes from the old swype??
Yeah if you read the beta sign up agreement biff it expires after 6 months. There will likely be an update before that happens though, so it's a rolling thing.
Is the update that much better than what we have on galaxy sii stock though? I.e. is it worth it?

OMG!! trust me guys...this is just awesome...no! really unbelievably A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!
the keyboard has been upgraded in the landscape version...the space bar is made a bit small so that it fits comfortably for the thumb (if need be)...the word replacement is excellent and its just like the android stock keyboard word suggestor (no pop up windows). the accuracy is wonderfull...i had started out only recently and i could do a fair but of speed too...all in all it is a must have
HOWEVER!! (isnt that always so)
i had to go back to the stock swype cause i have having problems...like it just stopped working...but when i had it it was a world of fun...its certainly worth a try and going back to the stock is very easy with titanium please do yourselves a favour and try it
I try to uninstall swype using Titanium Backup but I get "Cannot Mount" error. I am uninstalling it wrong by using the bottom option on the long hold?
Nevermind, just used Root Explorer and did it manually.

yes you did it wrong, just click apps once, quickly, then choose un-install.
The long press stuff is not needed.
The new Swype is AMAZING. I love that the suggestions do not pop up on the screen any more. There is just a suggestion bar like the default keyboard

So I backed up, uninstalled and installed perfectly, no issues. When the phone is restarted, the licensing check fails because the SGS II uses some kind of quick boot which withholds information swype needs on boot. Tried wiping data for swype and installer, the only way to get it working again was to reinstall swype (not installer) let me know if anyone else has replicated this issue. From what I have read, this is the issue with a couple of samsung and htc phones.

I had the same problem.
So I ran the swype installer again, and it said it needed to be re-licensed. I did all it wanted, and it still didn't work.
So I then used titanium pro to uninstall the swype app (not the installer) and THEN used the installer to download and install swype AGAIN.
That worked.
But what was different now is that I turned my phone OFF, and restarted it - and swype is still licensed!
Villain rom 1.4, tegrak overclock.
Maybe using the reboot option stuffs up the license on some roms; try turning the phone OFF and restarting it.

Since a few people ran into this issue I would leave the Samsung keyboard out of that Turboslim script. It was the only keyboard along with voice that worked. I would get the same error off of different ones in market. What is it that messes up those keyboard but not the Samsung one is the question.
I put on AOKP last night so this isn't a worry for me right now. If you have the samsung keyboard as standalone and can post it as an apk or zip, it would be really nice for those who are faicng the same dilemma and fall upon this thread or for when I go back to that rom
