[Rooted] Unable to install Google Play Store

Hi,
I recently rooted my HTC One X (China version) and I've tried almost everything to try and get Google Play Store to work.
I've installed droidvpn, marketenabler and used them together only to find that my google play store doesn't even open.
I've tried to push the apk to the system/apps folder using root explorer but I keep getting a parsing error after trying to install it.
However, I noticed that whenever I install the apk, there isn't a .odex file.
On a side note, I would prefer to keep my phone stock in terms of ROMS but am willing to try out a ROM if it means I get access to the play store.
Thank you

[Q] Uninstalling Gapps

I recently installed [MOD] Android 4.1 to Android 4.2 Mod package! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991734), however the camera and gmail app doesn't work. The camera app freezes and the gmail app just force closes automatically.
Is there a way to uninstall the pack without restoring the phone, or just the camera

Format /system and reflash your current ROM and your current ROM ONLY. Then you can reflash 4.1 gapps.

I'm pretty sure hoe to format/system, but im not to sure on how to reflash CM10. Do I have to use odin again or can I do everything from my phone?

Google Talk

If you get a new rom that has Hangouts instead of Gtalk can you just place the apk into the gapps and flash ? I tried to just install on the system app folder and it says cannot install.
Anyone else hating the new Google Hangouts app?

Nah I like it, really great looking

New app is way better you might be alone with this one and honestly just delete apk prior to installing ROM. Or simply restore from Titanium Backup.... Getting talk back is simple just need to think not out

Love hangout!

Galaxy S II Missing settings.apk

Hi guys, i am new to xda. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S II with stock jelly bean 4.1.2 (***LSW firmware version). I accidentally deleted my settings application (i converted it to user app by using rom toolbox and it disappeared). I have no backups so i was looking for someone who could extract a new "Settings.apk" compatible with my device and firmware version so that i could reinstall it. Thanks in advance to everyone!

Isn't there a way to just install the settings.apk without having to reflash the whole rom?

have you look into your root folder then data/app to find setting.apk, or use titanium backup to convert back to system app

Yes, as i said in the first post i have no backup and the system/app folder doesn't contain any settings.apk. It disappeared completely. I also looked for it on the web but no one seems to have uploaded it online. This is the reason why I have posted here.

Please can anybody help me? I can't believe no one has got this phone here on xda..

If nobody can help you. Try it yourself. Download the firmware and find a way to extract the files. (can be done, cuz the phone can too)

Hi, I have linked the SecSettings.apk from stock 4.1.2 xxlsw.

Thank you very much! But i'm not missing "SecSettings.apk" i miss "Settings.apk". Don't you have one in your root folder?

There is no Settings.apk in any folders. Is your ROM definitely Stock Samsung 4.1.2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I looked for SecSettings in my folder and i think i confused it with SecSettingsprovider..so maybe the settings app is just called secsettings (unlike many other phones) i'll try to install your apk!

I downloaded your application and it seems to be what I was looking for! But I can't install it in way! How do I install it?

Use a root explorer and copy it to /System/app and set permissions in the usual manner
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I moved the apk to system/app and set the permissions, then rebooted, but it seems that it doesn't work. I tried in many ways. I installed it from rom toolbox, from root explorer, from "system app installer", but despite every operation and installation gives me a succes message as response, nothing happens. There is the file in system app, but every attempt to open the settings fails with a force close and there is no icon in my app drawer.

Do you have the secsettings.odex in your /system/app?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

No I don't have any SecSettings.odex, I only have apk, even after the reboot.

Copy both the SecSettings.apk from the previous link and the SecSettings.odex from this link, set permissions and reboot again.

It didn't work. I used every combination on this world for the permissions before rebooting (including rw-r--r-- and also rwxrwxrwx) but nothing happens, the app doesn't result to be installed. (I attached a screenshot of my file manager showing that the files actually are in the root folder)

Hmm.. I'm stumped then. I can only suggest you reflash your firmware

I just read on google news that a new update is starting to roll out for the s2..do you think updating will solve the problem? Either by using OTA (if it still works without settings) or kies..

[Request] OxygenOS File Manager

Hello, Would someone be kind enough to port the OxygenOS file manager for Lineage? I found the apk on apkmirror, But won't install. Keeps saying a similar app is installed and doesn't progress.

You dont install system apps you have to place it properly in the root>system>app folder and it will show up in app drawer. I am on oos 4.1.0 but am using the email application from lineage the same way

Thank you for your reply. But I would need to be rooted right and have a compatible file explorer to move the files into the app folder? So I would need an explorer to get this explorer.

Are you sure it will work? In my case it is not in priv-app but in a mysterious reserve folder. When I tried to flash the themed version to priv-app it did not work anymore.
