How to flash Cerberus.zip?

I just tried to flash cerberus.zip with the temporary CWM but it says: Error status 255
I've searched info and it could be because the .zip is prepared for ARM. I made some changes to the file following a tutorial and CWM now says that the installation is OK but when I turn on the phone I don't have the apk installed.
Any help?

If its just an apk you can use a root file explorer to put the apk in your system folder or wherever it needs to go. Just remember to set permissions too.

Cerberus can be installed from the playstore... Why are you putting in system folder?

This way if your phone is stolen and the thief reverts your phone to factory status Cerberus should stay installed.

Yep, but it is harder for the thief to erase the apk

I've just uploaded the 4.4 flashable version for cerberus disguised (system framework named version).
You can download it from here: a d f. l y/1o5juF
After flashed it, download the latest version of disguised version from cerberusapp.com, download it from here: a d f. l y/1o5k0M

Guys Please tell me about bug free Custom ROM only for NOKIA XL

From past few days i m thinking of installing google store and google now on my Nokia XL Phone. I read lot of threads and watch many videos. But still unable to make decision. So far i have downloaded 3 tool kits 1) NokiaXMgr_v1.0.0.0 2) Ultimate tool v1.1 3) Universal Toolkit Setup. Which one i should choose? Now i have stock Rom. Please also tell me, is it safe to install custom ROM. If Yes, then which one is the best? Most of threads are for NOKIA X. That is why i am bit confused. Eagerly waiting for your response. Thanks in advance.

You can boot to custom recovery or install it, then wipe your current rom, then install custom rom files: "ROM+XL Patch+Camera Patch", After ROM installed use toolkit to fix Radio&APN

I think there are some security concern in universal kit. BTW i don't use antivirus. Either windows is blocking or it is buggy, i don't know. I have rooted my device using TWRP 2.7 (via Nokia X manager). But i m facing issue while backing up my Stock Rom. As i said screen is turning black. Each time i have to remove the battery.

Guys! i have successfully installed the ROM:victory: Whole process took around 45 minutesgood: However the biggest pain in ass was installing ADB drivers:crying: Somehow windows was not detecting it. That is why i decided to share my experience, so that u don't waste ur valuable time. After installing the ADB drivers, simply install the NokiaCareSuiteForStore 5.4.:good: Luckily it is available at XDA forum itself
All credit goes to @YSH ALSAGER. Awesome! man u deserve unlimited Thanks!:good:
However there are just few bugs left. Which is listed below:
1) FM is not working
2) Walkman keeps popping error "unfortunately download music info has stopped"
3) It is not detecting the storage properly. Internal as external and vice versa.
That's it, rest is working like a charm. I m really happy:laugh:

You can Fix radio by my zip fix, For walkman just delete download music info from system apps, and For MTP change it from Settings app then Storage options, press menu and change it to MTP.
Note: If you want to use this ROM in other language (it's only Indonesian and English) just Flash its language Pack by me Here

Check it did not enrol you as a tester in the play store, you can opt out
Or install a full APK from apkmirror.com

All it said was "app not installed"

You need to be rooted then install root explorer go to system/apps and uninstall the apk that way.

OP, did you disable instead of uninstall the app?

App not installed usually means there is already an app with that package name installed, check to see you haven't still got another version of SC installed
