When attempting to install Swiftkey_Flow_Public_Beta_4.0.0.54.apk the download goes well but install page doesn't "function"...meaning, the install page for Swiftkey Flow Beta opens, but the Install button is inactive. Hitting "Cancel" or "Show All" works fine...
I've disabled (frozen using Titanium Backup) all anti-virus or security programs I could identify.
Install from Unknown Sources is allowed.

Any ideas what to check next?
I'd start with re-downloading it again. Seems like a bad download to me
Could be a bad download. It works perfectly with both my tablet and my phone
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
Tried deleting the d/l and downloaded again and again...used different browsers (Dolphin, Chrome, Firefox) and all have the same result... the file checks out fine, but when open to install, the "install" button isn't functional. The other buttons - "cancel" for example, work fine in the install program.
It really seems like it is a program blocking the install somehow. (Nothing else I've ever installed has been blocked). I'm bamboozled. Gonna let the Flow Beta go for now... wait for a final release.
Hi folks,
I'm trying to keep my Fairphone free of googleApps (because, you know, $reasons), but as usual it's not that easy.
I am struggeling to get NoGApps working. First of all: kudos to @MaR-V-iN - I don't have a paypal account, but I could invite you for a Kölsch next time I'm in the area.
Can anybody review my steps and possibly describe how to get it running properly?
0. installed OI File Manager (to be able to access the internal partition)
1.1. downloaded μg v1.3.2 (NetworkLocation.apg)
1.2. ( tried to copy to /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk - to no avail: "... could not be copied")
1.3. installed NetworkLocation, allowed access in XPrivacy popup, rebooted.
1.4. downloaded cells-world.db, renamed to cells.db, moved it to /sdcard/.nogapps/cells.db
1.5 tried to find any sign of the application. (Found nothing.)
Sadly, Network location does not show up, anywhere. Am I looking in the wrong places?
2.1. downloaded Blank Store 0.6.6 (BlankStore.apk)
2.2. (renamed it to com.android.vending.apk, tried to copy it to /system/app/com.android.vending.apk - no success.)
2.3. renamed again, installed BlankStore.apk, allowed access in XPrivacy popups, rebooted.
2.4. downloaded android-checkin-1.0.jar and bla.bat, copied them to the location of java.exe, generated an android ID.
2.5. went to menu [Settings]{Accounts}
2.5.1 entered (dedicated...) google credentials and android ID,
2.5.2 entered slightly changed credentials that @DSoundso mentioned (SDK should be 17, I think. I also used a German carrier's MCC-MNC).
2.5.3 rebooted.
2.6 opened BlankStore: yay, I can search it. But I can't install any app: it crashes constantly.
I should mention that the Account settings were gone several times, so the BlankStore would close immediately. I had to re-enter them, and tried also exactly the credentials @DSoundso mentioned in the NOGAPPS thread.
I can't "sync" the account under [Settings]{Accounts}{Sync}. It just "says Sync is OFF", "sync now" does not seem to work.
I logged into the google account on a desktop PC, and no devices show up. ("No active devices").
So, the next steps are unfinished:
3.1. downloaded Maps API v1 (nogapps-maps.zip)
3.2. tried to download via Blank store: BusyBox, TWRP, TitaniumBackup. (BlankStore crashes.)
...to be continued?
Can anybody walk me through?
Or at least single out any errors I made above?
Hey, did you have a look at the XDA-Wiki section about installing the Blank Store? Following this step-by-step should hopefully install the Blank Store
I am too avoiding the Google Apps and also installed the maps successfully (didn't try NetworkLocation yet) and your problems with "could not be copied" sound like a problem with the user rights.. I'm not sure how your file manager works but the with the Android SDK (see above link) and the right commands it should work.
As far as the crashes of the Blank Store are concerned: at first mine also didn't start and crashed, which was caused by the missing Store account but as it sounds yours IS starting but then not really functioning, right? :|

Thanks, I gave that a try yesterday. 1.7 gb download, what a mess... But solved the problem: it was a rights issue. I was under the impression that the OI File Manager had superuser rights. I was wrong. Got BlankStore working now, but it crashes still quite often on download.
I'm still not sure what to make of it. As I said, it *seemd* to be working before as well, but *no* download was finished. Now, *some* finish their dl, and if they don't I get an error notification (was missing before).
However, whenever I try to load a paid app, the BankStore crashes instantly.
I tried to read the whole NOGAPPS thread and realised: it only works for free apps. And I already redeemed a gift card at the Play Store to buy a paid Titanium Backup version. ****e, I'm stupid. :silly:
Still, it would be nice if it would not crash, or at least tell me it would crash when trying to load a paid app.
Also, I still can't see any active device when logging into the account on the web. Any ideas there? Is that supposed to be like this?
(Funny enough, I *can* see which apps I downloaded through BlankStore.)

It seems both are not working properly for me. OSMAnd can find it's position by GPS. Offi is working, but can not find a location (GPS turned on). Also in Offi Stations, 'Acquiring location' never gets finished. The map stays blank in landscape mode. I would very much appreciate it if you would report your status here: if you can get it to work, how - and if not, what $reasons do you assume?
The permissions are not the problem. /system has to be mounted writable.

permissions for Offi / Maps Api access?

Thanks for pointing that out, @elchi1234. I'm not used to work on linux-like systems, but I'm eager to learn.
However, I assume this could have something to do with permissions:

I tried to figure out why Offi is not showing any map. It seems like it's trying to DL / access map tiles and not getting access, which sometimes even causes crashes:
Code:
W/MapsAPI ( 5201): MapTileDownloader: Problem downloading MapTile: /17/65535/65535 HTTP response: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
According to the crash report, this happens with every tile the app is trying to access.
Did I mess up somehere?
Nice to hear that the Blank Store is now working for you.
Hm, that problem with Öffi sounds familiar to me - I seem to recall that I had these problems too.. since you could install those Apps it looks like your installation of the map files was succesful. I think you should try the GPS fix mentioned here. It really helps A LOT (or did you already do that..?)
Report back!
Well, the MapsAPI seems to be installed correctly. (It was never working for me, too. I use it for that apps that require it but don't really need it.)
I would guess that there is a change in the API of the webserver that MapsAPI doesn't know about.
my cordova/phonegap app automatically checks for updates. when it finds one, a window.open() in javascript brings up an update page. this page contains a button to download the latest APK. When the user clicks the install button, nothing happens. The install button is a form submit that attempts to download the APK through the action URL. This bug occurs on android 4 and 5. is there something about the webview I should know in order to enable submit buttons or downloading APKs? or something else I'm missing? also, the link is an HTTP link--no ssl is being used, so it's not a cert issue.

Can you display the code for the form?
Perhaps do a check on the final url being downloaded (the file) -- and if you use chrome, make sure your settings are not blocking downloads. It can honestly only be one of the two for the "most part" .
Are you just downloading the file, or are you trying to get it to actually install and update automatically?
Unfortunately, if option B, due to security reasons, google and MOST browsers block this from happening .
So when I went to Google Play store to down load Android Auto it states my unit is not compatible. Didn't know why it's not compatible so I figured why not load it and try it.
I'm running Android 8 Hal build. It compress with the ability to run/install APKs.
Did a Google search for Android Auto APK using chrome in the head unit. Found a version, downloaded.
Opened that APK install program, opened the folder with the download in it, installed.
Low and behold it worked.
I use my phone as a hotspot and bluetooth connection.
Hope this helps others.

Post the link to what you downloaded?

As requested.
Thanks by your info. Just checked and Android Auto installed. But, did ou get using Android Auto built-in phone dialer? In my case I got the message "network not found". It seems device is trying to use built-in 4G line instead phone line from celullar BT. Did you fix this issue?
Using vivaldi as my browser. When I download a file and the location dialogue box is presented I cannot tap download. Cancel works, just not download. With chromium browsers the first file you download still presents the location box even with don't ask location ticked in settings. Chrome is OK as by default files download to download.
Tried with bromite, chromium and the both have the issue on my S20. Firefox is OK and my old pixel3 was fine
Anyone else confirm this?
