Is there any way to install updates in apps like Messages or any native apps via apk?
I tried but it conflicts with the existing package I guess.

You are trying to install pie beta apps. You can't install these apps normally. If you rooted or twrp installed, Put these app in system/app or system/priv-app. then it work perfectly.
I thought that it was possible because I already installed some updates on other apps like the Calculator, Samsung Notes, Samsung Internet, Voice Recorder, Email and Samsung Health. But I forgot that these apps are not pre installed apps. thanks for answering.

Yup you can install these apps normally but for Messages, Gallery, Clock, Calender, Music, Contacts and Dialer etc you actually to be rooted.

I changed my Bell P930 from rooted ICS to CM 10.1 RC2 but quickly discovered it didn't include any Google apps. I really don't care about most of the Google apps, but I'd definitely like to have Google Play and Maps. I went to the Google Play website but didn't see Google Play as an option as an app to install. Additionally, I didn't find it as easy to add on accounts besides Exchange or email accounts. Is this just what you get or is there an easy way to make it a little bit more like the Android experience I'm used to?
In the meantime, I've restored my CWM backup. I'm not sure what I'm gaining by switching if I lose the ability to easily install apps on my smartphone or sync with my Gmail and FB accounts.
Hoping for a real JB release from LG/Bell but doubting that will ever come!
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I will give this a shot.
cyanogenmod comes with no bloatware so you have to install even google apps if you want them, the link is already there just being clear that it is normal for them not to be there and you are suposed to install them on first install but u dont need to reinstall when updating CM
Hi, I had disabled the app Samsung Browser stock (SecBrowser.system.apk) using the HiUnistaller app, but when I was going to re enable the app, never was re enabled.
Today I had a problem with the Calendar app (SecCalendar_SPen.apk) being closed all the time and I tried to reinstall it, but nothing.
I got the two apks of the Browser and Calendar, but when I go to install them, said "Application Not Installed".
What can I do to reinstall without flash again the stock ROM?
Thanks!

That's true. I was facing the same problem and did uninstall Truecaller. All my pending downloads started. Not just playstore. But also from Google photos... Thanks for the help.

Hopefully fixed in 4.0.1
Nope.. Still having this issue. The only workaround for me is to turn on the battery save and then back off
Uninstalling truecaller immediately started all the pending downloads and even showed some unread mails.
Hi Guys,
I copied the apks of the following apps from S7 and I faced few issues-
Samsung Gallery- Installed but cannot be found anywhere
Samsung Dual Camera- Installed but cannot be found anywhere
Samsung Videos- Installation error, app not compatible with phone
Samsung Music- Installation error, app not compatible with phone
The installed apps cannot be found in the menu or anywhere else but they can be seen in app manager to be uninstalled. or force stopped etc. Why can't we find them considering they install properly?
Thanks
Without Samsung's framework these apps won't work.
You can't simply copy an app made by a manufacturer for their specific phones and expect it to work just like that, unfortunately.

Ah that's bad. One last question though, Samsung Video didn't install at all but the Gallery did, it cannot be found anywhere. So, why did the Gallery install if the framework was missing?
I am using an LG V20, recently I have successfully installed Lineage OS 18.1.
I'm scared of the amount of junk apps (ads, useless, third-party,...) that are available inside LG's firmware (and you can't remove them without root - but you can only root on Android 7), so I decided to try another OS.
After installing Lineage OS the first thing I noticed is that I can't customize the buttons on navigation bar, I tried searching google for custom instructions but most of them are instructions for the old version of Lineage OS, I can't find the custom buttons on navigation bar on this latest version (or maybe I'm wrong?). Please help me?
I have used System App Remover to see all system apps, there are more than 200+ system apps (including GApps), I've looked a few times, only a few apps can guess the function. functionality, or only a few app packages can be recognized (less than 80 apps in total are recognisable and searchable on Google). I want to ask which system apps can be safely deleted?
I tried flashing the LOSdiet file and android debloat script with TWRP although the flash was successful BUT NO apps was removed.
UPDATE: I feel that installing the whole GApps is really unnecessary as Google Play Store and Google Play Services can be downloaded on Google, just 2 apps Google Partner Setup and Google Services Framework are enough. If in the firmware file these 2 applications are available, I think installing GApps is not necessary.
Thanks.

Installing GApps is really not necessary. But in that case you will miss many features. Including play store. But you can install f-droid and aurora store.
LineageOS is not meant to torture you with bloatware. Even if you don't use the preinstalled apps, they will do no harm.
And you can debloat unrooted stock ROM with adb.

Yes, but it has too many deprecated apps, I am discussing on reddit, hope they remove them in next update.
