Ever since the upgrade to the latest OS, I can't install APK files. I get the following message:
App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package.
Any way around this?
Uninstall the app you are trying to install and then retry your apk. Looks like you're authentication keys aren't matching it's not allowing you to overwrite the old file. Could you have downloaded this from a different location, it may have the same name but it's not the same app.
It's an updated Google Play Store, used to never have problems installing over the current one.
You may have downloaded the wrong version, an older version or a hacked version.

I have the Nokia N1. Is it there any way to install the Google Play Store (and Play Services) in it?

haven't found a method yet so far,just wait till international version rom release
Same here. Couldn't find a way to install Play Store yet >_<
The only way for now, is either to wait for a miracle on a root method on the tablet, or wait for the official international release for their ROM.
My N1 is back into its box, as it's pretty much useless now, since over 80% of the apps these days requires Google Service Framework.
It's fine to be a MP4 player now.Install MX player, some comics reader, and some China online games. Hope official GSF come out asap.

I tried several times also. I noticed the model at GMC was had the chinese version info on the back of the device but was running Play Store. Tried a few versions but it exited after a breif pinwheel. The N1 device is listed on googles accepted device list pdf with no specific model information. Maybe the next version of Play store ? IDK how it works. Anyway device is not useless for me - I found most apps I require on Amazon Store or APKs. The Nokia zlaunch is excellent and waking up with screen double touch I like also. I owned apple ipad mini and prefer the build of this. Feels very sturdy - well built.

I also got my N1 yesterday. I tried to install the Play Store, yet no success. I also tried the method used to install it on Xiaomi devices, but the offered Play Store there is not compatible with 5.0 (permission READ_LOGS seems to be required, thus the apps crash)
I thought also about flashing the PA Gapps via the "stock" recovery. I tried following:
- Put gapps zip in /mnt/sdcard/ and renamed it to update.zip
- reboot into recovery using adb (adb works fine so far)
I hoped that the recovery would flash the zip as an update, but the error screen appeared. Knows somebody if the zip name and location are correct?

I think the GAPPS zip file is not signed officially. Unless 3rd party recovery is installed, the un-signed gapps is no way to get into N1.
How did you get adb working? It doesnt seem to work for me with the Google USB drivers
EDIT: Nvm I figured it out, I needed to manually install the Google USB driver
Hello,
Has anyone of you checked if fastboot is available? Is the bootloader finally locked or not?
What have you actually checked/tested? At least could save some other guy sometime avoiding non-working retries ...
---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------
Just in case it gives someone some idea. Latest nexus player came with a 64bit Atom. Could gapps be obtained from there? Just in case architecture is the problem ...

Okay, so I am far from an expert, here's what I found:
1. You can boot into fastboot by pressing power + vol. down when the device is off. See the attachment how it looks. I've tried a few oem commands: fastboot oem unlock, fastboot oem ?, fastboot oem command list, they don't work.
2. AFAIK there is no root method. I've tried Kingo root, others tried Root Genius, both fail to root it. Looking at chinese forums with Google translate looks like they're waiting for an international ROM with Google stuff to flash.
3. You can install Google play services. It will just crash each time something tries to use it. I've made a sample app that tries to use it, I see these exceptions in Logcat:
Code:
java.lang.SecurityException: attempting to read gservices without permission: Neither user 10060 nor current process has com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: caller uid 10060 lacks any of android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS

If you are interested in anything else I can try it (unless its some dangerous stuff)
Thanks syddd,
As you say i would not flash anything. I'm not an expert either.
In other ocassions a command useful to me was to boot (not flash) into custom recovery. For recovery I would try one working on similar hardware ... And from there, install superuser to root. If it is simply a clean android, that should do it.
As I said previously on other posts, I will start doing this works on mine once I got one by mid-april.
Remember, It is always important to backup current status!
As I first step I will test something like it appears on this guide for the nexus 7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415668
Adapting things to similar hardware ...
Trying fastboot boot with custom recovery to know if the device is locked. If it is it should not allow this operation.

Thanks for the guide!
I tried to follow the clockworkmod recovery one, but could not dump the boot partition. I am thinking of extracting it from the official ROM, I just dont know where those are... We could find out by snooping on the connection while the device gets a new update.
EDIT: Also "fastboot boot test.img" results in:
C:\>fastboot boot test.img
creating boot image...
creating boot image - 2048 bytes
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 2.521s]
BUT the device does not reboot and I see the following for a split second:
"boot command stubbed in this platform!"
where test.img is just an emty file. Does this mean that the boolloader is locked?
EDIT2: I've managed to get 2 update files by clicking the "check for update" button and snooping with Wireshark what happens. It makes a POST request to http://www.fc811.com/OTA/GetOTAFirm...&fw_id=A5CN30B&serial_no=XXXXXXXX&version=1.0 , where serial_no is the serial of your device (found in the about menu) and fw_id is your current firmware. I could download 2 firmwares with this method A5CN30B and A5CN315B. Both are minor updates, if someone has the fw version from the initial release it would be useful because we could get the 5.0.2 update.
I've put these in my dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9186429/nokia_n1/A5CN30B_update.zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9186429/nokia_n1/A5CN315_update.zip
Both have a droidboot.img file inside them, which is a RAMdisk boot image.
Really really nice advances!!
Thanks! You`ve been able to download I think a valid ROM for the device! Now it should be explored ...
And yes, I suppose the boot is locked which means it will not be easy to make changes.
We will need more expert hands to guide on what's next ...
In my opinion I would try to open the Image you have downloaded.
I've opened it, as you can see they are simple .zip files. But they are not ROMs. Part of them are Android patchfiles which contain just binary diffs. The bootloader is a RAMDisk which can be opened and patched with the methods you linked. The big question is whether they can be installed or not.
EDIT: see my other post, one of the older updates contains a full system image
I've been using for about 2 months. And had it repaired once, 'coz of screen issues. They sent me a new one. Very nice! Just the color changed from silver, originally, to grey, otherwise is fine.
The battery is good. It could last longer, if very much, when compared with N7.2013.LTE. The new Intel Atom looks very promising. But as you all know, there's no google play store. So I left it sleeping in the drawer.
New Play Store APK available. Just in case can anyone test it on the device?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996995
Hope it now works ...
It does not work.
It installs normally, but closes when I open it, just like previous versions. The problem is that play store/Google play services need some special permissions that need root. So no root = no play store.
Just need to wait for the international ROM to leak for this thing. The problem is Nokia is taking it's sweet time to release this thing anywhere else....
Hello, I bricked my phone trying to update it, now I have factory reset it and loaded another firmware over it.
It now starts up again and I did all the setting that you get at the start.
Somehow it doesn't recognize my sim card even though I didn't touch it when doing all this.
It also doesn't load the play store.
Any idea what could cause this and how to fix this?
the same playstore error occurred with my brother's device when he forced uninstalled the play store and tried to install manually, I think the problem in your case is incompatible software. Try to find the stock rom for your device and flash it. It might fix your problem
Apps like play store really ate determined by the phone's SDK version and if any system upgrade ships an stock app of a different Version of phone or phone changes any command relating to phone's increment version, apps will cause a library mismatch hence running of apps with lib support fails. Just download the play store from another source and rename it with a single name, and if you have root, use a root explorer and place it in "/system/vendor/operator/app" and set permissions to "rw-r-r" then reboot your phone wait until it's fully boot up. Then go to "/data/app-lib/'the_name_you_named_the_app'/" you will see an unknown file "named_something.so". Copy the .so file to "/system/lib/" and set permissions too to "rw-r-r" and then finally go to "/system/vendor/operator/app/" and move the app you placed there initially to "/system/app/" and boot up your phone and things will get done for you. In each system app that fail to work in a ROM upgrade. Just do so and all will be well

Various links in Google world. Some worked. Others had issues. To keep this simple I am going to attach two files to use. This is based on the use of Magisk for rooting your setup. It does NOT work if you are only using SuperUser. The mods that stated how to do this with SU did NOT work for me, so I will not include anything with regards to that. Again, this is working for me with latest just posted Android 7 firmware for my SM-G925T and rooted with Magisk and TWRP recovery installed. Please don't ask if you are not rooted or no TWRP or whatever. They ARE required and Magisk is required too. Plus go to Playstore and make sure BusyBox is installed. I would also uninstall any prior versions of Viper prior to doing this. Or use Titanium BU to delete so as NOT to have competing files. After the above, take the attached file audio_effects.conf and replace the one located in your system\etc folder. The file is zipped simply to allow uploading. This is NOT installable from recovery. Simply unzip to use the conf file. Disregard the backup file in this zipped upload. The .bak is not needed. You will need an app like root explorer to do this. Make sure you set the file permissions the same as the app you are replacing. This is important. Permissions must be the correct same as the original file. Finally...take the attached v4afx_v1.4 zip and install from TWRP recovery. Reboot and should be good to go. If done correctly the left menu in viper that shows driver status will show everything processing, enabled, and working when Viper is ON and music is playing
Added webcam shot showing driver status. A screen shot would remove that window showing driver status.
Do you randomly lose root after this install?
So I am pretty new to this, but here goes....
About a month ago I got some help from a friend and downloaded lineage OS 15.1 to my Lenovo p2a42 device. Very happy with everything, until yesterday when the phone began to vibrate and then proceed to shut down with a blue indicator light showing. After some fiddling and attempts to get the latest update of lineage, I got stuck in my first boot loop. After all my various attempts to solve the problem, I decided to do a clean wipe and reinstall lineage. Which I've done successfully I believe, no crashes yet. What I am having trouble with now is remembering how to download the first applications since I don't have the Gsuite or Gapps downloaded. I remember my friend mentioning a problem with the stock file manager for lineage and I believe that is one of the first applications we downloaded along with the apk pure app store.
If anyone can help this newbie figure out how to download the apk mirror to my device without an appstore, I would appreciate it.
>maybe the answer is to download to my laptop first and then use adb to flash it to my device?
Thanks for the help!!
If you want to have Google apps on your phone, search for Open GApps and download for ARM64 devices (nano package is recommended). Then flash it alongside LOS in TWRP. You will have Google Play Store installed.
But, if you only want APKPure store then you must download the APK from their website (either via computer then move it to your phone, or by using default LOS browser). Navigate to your downloaded APK using file manager and open it, you will have a prompt to install it or not. That's pretty much it though.

I downloaded apk pure directly on my mobile from the website (not interested in GApps). It opens in the LOS default file manager and there are basically no options to run it. I think this is because the root may be disabled, my boot loader is unlocked, but it says adb only in my developer options settings. I am new to using adb to flash an apk. I was able to flash lineage, but not sure how to install the apk. For instance, should my phone be on when I enter command install xxx.apk or should it be in recovery mode or boot mode? I tried once already and the apk install failed, not sure what I am doing wrong here. Thanks for the response above.

Answered my own question. Was able to download a file manager using adb, this allowed me download apk mirror.
Hi everyone,
I'm using LineageOS with a OnePlus 9 Pro.
I'm trying to install the OnePlus camera app downloaded from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/onepl.../oneplus-camera-6-2-117-android-apk-download/
When I try to install it with the built-in installer, it just says "App not installed."
If I try installing it with the APKMirror installer, it displays the error message "The parser did not find any certificates in the .apk"
What is the reason for this, or how can I fix this?
Thanks!
Is that. Apk file?
Hi @warangekar!
Yep, it's an .apk file downloaded from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/onepl.../oneplus-camera-6-2-117-android-apk-download/, it's com.oneplus.camera_6.2.117-26211918_minAPI29(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
(This is the version for which the Notes say "Extracted from OnePlus 9 Pro", that's why I chose this one. But afterwards I tried a couple more different versions of the same app, and I got the same error message for all of them when tried to install.)
It's extension is exactly. apk something like .xapk, .apks
@warangekar It's exactly .apk
Download Mirror Apk installer and try to install it with it
@warangekar I did, as I wrote in my first message:
>If I try installing it with the APKMirror installer, it displays the error message "The parser did not find any certificates in the .apk"
May be that Apk file is corrupt
If that file is not corrupted then you should try following,
This error is thrown by adb when we use it to install the application on a device/emulator. There are a few things you can try to isolate and resolve the issue.
Try on a different device/emulator. If this works, it is most probably an issue with the device configuration - check that USB debugging is enabled in Developer options.
Try killing the adb process. The CLI will start a fresh one on the next run.
Try to cleanup the configuration and artifacts directories - rm -rf node_module hooks platforms. Then run the application again.
Try installing Android SDK Tools version 28.0.3 and Android SDK 28
If the issue persists, you can run the project with tns run android --log trace > out.txt command and send us the out.txt file that will contain the full output log of the NativeScript CLI.
As the page says :
- "Note: Sideloading this APK may not work, so you may need root to install. Click here for more info.
For some reason, some manufacturers sometimes forget to sign some system APKs with APK Signature Scheme v2, while indicating that these APKs are indeed v2-signed. These APKs are usually signed with only APK Signature Scheme v1 (jar signature), so we can still confirm the signature is valid, but Android will refuse to sideload them due to the missing v2 signature."
So most probably signing it will do the trick.
I signed it with a debug key, see if it work.
EDIT: tested and working on android 11
Okay
You can't install the APK on non-OOS ROMs. It needs to be ported (modified) in order to work on non-stock ROMs. And no, there is no ported version of it.

- First, he have a one plus 9 pro and lineage.
- Second your answer say that it can't be installed on non oos-rom ... so not right.
- Third Maybe will be not good, maybe on some phone will crash but the apk definitely install itself because it was only missing a signature.
- And last I'm not using it, I've installed only to be sure that the apk install itself.
So "You can't install the APK on non-OOS ROMs." Is not right, it can be installed.
