Android AppManager Signature check

Hi Guys,
i customized a CM6.1.1 rom for my Desire and modded some apps (translation etc.) and all works fine till this point. The market identifys the apps correct and shows available updates for them. But when it has downloaded the apps and trys to update them it fails because my modded apps have an other signature then the version of the market and this is ok usually. But is there a way to disanle the signature check that updates will install ? The way to uninstall them with titaniumbackup and install the new version and restore the settings is too ugly.....
I hope anybody knows a solution for this problem !?
Regards Hawkeye

[APP][Update] How to update app system in Rom MiuiXt_Final_V2?

Hi everybody!
I have been flash my phone with Rom MiuiXt_Final_V2 in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085683 . It is a great ROM, so beautiful and fast but i have a problem with it. I can't update my apps in the phone (Example: Facebook, Google Maps...)
I try anyway such as via cable, market but result is zero! I have used Titanum to uninstall or used Root explorer to delete that app in /system/app... after that i install the newest version but i still say: "not install" >"<
What should i do? Please help me!
Regard!

in the development thread for the rom (the link you posted), it explains how to update google maps, (can't remember what page..but theres a step by step instruction). Involves using titanuim backup and a 3rd party google map fix. i think this is quite important because it gives you all the new map features.

You can try this for maps & then see if it will update via Market.

Thanks for your help. I will try!

[Guide] How to install any app from the market that is not available in your country

Tired from using different market unlocker or enabler apps that are not responding well and not downloading the apps that are not available in your country..
Are you fed-up from searching for the apk file of that app and can't find it..
Now you can follow these steps and I can assure you that most of market apps will be available in your country for installation (or buying --> need test).. "Some of them still can't be accessed by this guide.!!"
This guide was tested on Motorola Xoom and it went perfect..
So here we go (No need for any third party program ):
1) Go to your ordinary android internet browser that comes with your android device.
2) In google search, go to android market.
​
3) If it asks by which app you will open the market website, choose "Browser".
​
4) Now you are in android market website.
​
5) Search for the app that is not available in your country; here is 'drive mount' app as an example.
​
6) If it asks by which app you will open the page, choose "Browser".
​
7) Now tap on the app that you are searching for (don't tap on install button); here is 'drive mount' app as an example.
​
8) If it asks by which app you will open the app, choose "Market".
​
9) As you can see, the install button is active..
​
10) Set back till installation finish
GIVE IT A TRY NOW​

tried on my SGS2(2.3.5) and the market version 3.4.4.
it worked only once, opening an app link with the market app but it says I'm not allow to install this app so exit from the market app and opened the link with the default browser instead, then hit INSTALL and logged in and hit back key, choose the market app, finally started downloading.
this procedure didn't work for the next time. maybe I need to be logged out before trying this.
thanks anyway for showing me the way around.

Thanks for nice tips,
it easy than update MNC and MCC code in pros

oky
I`m using Orbot and it`s great
with the market enabler I can be where ever I want and it solve the problem for me in syria

i tried this tip with my HTC Sensation, market version 3.4.4, app : Pandora
but it's not work !
thank you anyway

Worked only once galaxy ace, market v. 3.4.4 thanx anyway

why not try Market Unlocker? just one click to let you install these apps:

tried with both market enabler and market unlocker and no joy. even this workaround doesn't seem to work which sucks.
anyone know any other way round this.
using a htc hero with one of the MIUI roms

try apk downloader which is chrome extension. this is the ultimate solution for me.

[TUT] Remove Google Play! **OldMarket app not required** *ROOT needed!*

Hey XDA world!
Do you also want to get rid of that Google Play app? Do you want the old market back? Well... I just found a way to do this without using OldMarket!
This method also needs root, but it's working for my Galaxy Mini with stock ROM and Android 2.3.5.
OldMarket didn't work for me. And this method did! Read the steps below.
Before doing anything you must remove the market updates from manage applications tab (settings) and disable the internet completely (Wifi and data connection) after you have downloaded the required apps.
You know what I mean.
Get AndroZip from the Market. You will need it for the zip file with The old Android Market apk I attached with this post.
Get NoBloat Free from the market and fire it up.
Open the 'remove apps' tab and search for "com.android.vending.updater''. AKA AndroidUpdater.apk.
Disable it or remove it with a backup. Your phone will shut down. Wait around 10 seconds and boot it up.
After your phone is rebooted, fire up AndroZip and unzip the .zip file you can download from below.
Install the Old Market apk and you are done! See how it doesn't update itself when you reconnect to the internet! Have market fun!

Did this post helped you? Hit the thanks:thumbup: button! I really like it

Worked perfectly for me on my Galaxy Note N7000 under GB XXLA4
The app I had to uninstall was "Market Updater" - I used Titanium Backup to uninstall
I left 'Market Feedback' in place
Had to uninstall updates from "Google Play" as described.
The background process spawned by Google Play has now disappeared (as expected) and a second instance of Google Maps service has also disappeared. Maybe the new Play keeps asking where I am (in the background)... Not nice, Google...
Thanks OP

Worked on my SD-card-bootable Nook Color with CyanogenMod 7, too Thanks again

[Q] Unable to install apps from Play Store

Hello,
Post rooting (repenting it already) my Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GTI9001), I am unable to install any apps via Play Store. I am able to install apk's from the SD Card though. I un-rooted the phone but problem persist.
When I try to install any app, I can see the app being downloaded on the notification but the moment the download completes nothing happens. When i go to Play Store > My Apps I could see that it still says downloading though the app is fully downloaded. I guess some permission issues here. Please help.
I have already cleared Play Store cache and tried.

Hello,
Which Rom do you use? Maybe you have to root it again. Usually you can fix permissions in CWM. Have you tried to restart after "Download is finished". For Me it was working on my Asus EeePad.

Chris, I am still on stock ROM and I am not likely to go for a custom ROM since there are not much good ROM's available for Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Yes I tried multiple reboots. After reboot, on the notification it says that app download failed due to some error with a number.
Thanks for your reply.

Same issue
Reyolin,
I have had the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus but it has only started today. Mine has been rooted for about 5 months now, since I first got it.
I did a search using EStrong File explorer and it found a file called "downloadfile.apk" in /cache (I assume this is the file as it is the same file size as stated in the Play store. However, when I tried to run or copy it it had disappeared.
It's almost like the APK is being downloaded and then being deleted before installation actually occurs.
I think rooting your phone and the inability to install apps is just coincidental.
I will do some more playing about and see what I can find (I also already tried removing the Google Play updates (to go back to the old style Market). This still did not solve the problem.

Exactly same proble
Hi,
I have exaclty the same problem (galaxy s plus), rooted 5 month ago and problem started 2 days ago...
I updated superuser at that time and tried to update the su binarie but it fails on validation of new su and stopped (not replacing old su), this is the only thing I can remember of. root is still working with old su. Maybe the cleaning needs to be done ?
Has someone found a way to fix this?
edit:
after some investigation, this is what happens:
if I try to install one app from play store, it is downloaded correctly and then nothing happens.
the file downloaded is in /cache/downloadfile.apk
If I copy this file to /sdcard/external_sd/downloadfile.apk and run it manually it installs correctly.

galaxy s plus specific issue
i am having the same problem since morning and i also use Samsung galaxy s plus, so certainly the issue is phone specific.

Good news! Problem solved for me
Hi,
I contacted google play support and her was there answer:
Thanks for contacting us and I am sorry for the delay in responding.
We've gotten some reports that users with Samsung Galaxy S Plus devices running Android OS version 2.3 (Gingerbread) are having trouble using Google Play. We're aware of this issue and to solve it we recommend you to uninstall updates to the Google Play app by following these steps:
1. Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2. Find the "All" tab
3. Scroll down to Play Store and tap to select
4. Tap "Uninstall updates"
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
So I followed this and it works again!
Here are the steps after doing google recommendations:
- click google play icon, it will open old google market
- install an application, for me it worked again!
- exit google market
- click again the google play icon, it will ask to accept google play license
- click yes and then try to install another app, it worked again!
Hope this will solve also your issues,
Stef

I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,
- Uninstalled updates for Google Play
- I added a New Google Account.
- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account
And "BOOM" problem solved.
