Hi this is my 1st post. Im having some trouble installing the fission rom manager lite.
I put it on the sd card as an apk file but its not on the phone. I tried doing it manually via zip through recovery mode, but it freezes during the install... any ideas?
Use a file manager (root explorer, files, etc) to browse to the .apk file and install it. Also go to settings --> applications and make sure "Unknown sources" is checked.
I used Astro file manager to install Fission rom manager and it worked just fine.

Hi, folks.
Newbie here.
Just purchased a new Coby Kyros MID7015. Trying to root device. Instructions here call for downloading Z4root; okay. I copied that file to the root directory of my 8GB microSD card; okay.
Instructions then refer to invoking the app installer to install Z4root...but I have no app installer (that I know of) or any kind of file manager on my device.
Is the device supposed to come with one?
Thanks for any help...
Check out this thread to root it and install the market: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870568
Hi, Fido.
Thanks so much for replying.
It was in the information in the link you provided that prompted my question. In the instructions, it says:
"2: Rooting Your Tablet. Download z4root 1.3.0 APK and place on your sdcard. Open Settings, go to Applications and check the Unknown Sources box. Use File Manager to navigate to the z4root APK (it's in the /sdcard folder) and click to run. You should now have root access (you may need to reboot). You will also notice a new app, Superuser, has been installed."
Note where it says "...use File Manager..." -- and that's where my issue is. I have no File Manager on my tablet...so I can't navigate to the z4root.apk to install it.
Where does the File Manager come from? Is it supposed to be part of the sdcard:update.zip? When I did the sdcard:update.zip (which the device said that I did "successfully"), there was no File Manager created on my device. I don't have one (that I know of) on my device...and I have gone through all the apps repeatedly. Is it buried in a menu somewhere?
Thanks...
If you havnt figured out already ....a "file manager" is an app you must download.....

I like the backup and DND application of MIUI. so
1) I copied those application by using root explorer.
2) Copied those apps in Computer and changed extension to .zip
3) opened that app using winrar
4) removed META-INF folder
5) Resigned app using my key
6) again copied to SD card
7) Finally i got success to install that to my phone(Desire S stock ROM)
Now, When i try to open that backup and DND application, It shows Force Close message. What is Wrong? Please Help.
I also used Backsmali to deodex some system applications and made classes.dex and packed into apk and resigned, but program is not installing and if it installs, then not working. can someone help me to port system apps from another ROM to my stock ROM?
I'm a HTC Desire S owner. I've problem installing APK files. It shows "There is a problem parsing the package" when trying to install apk files in ES File Explorer. It only happens when the apk files are in SDcard. It don't happen when install apk files which are located in my PC thru WiFi with ES File Explorer. It don't work with ASTRO file manager either. But I can install with AndExplorer and can install from PC (with DroidExplorer). I mostly use ES file manager and wanna install with it. I'm currently using latest version of ES file explorer. I've already checked "Allow installation of non-market apps" in setting. It did not happen with Stock ROM. Happened while using Saga3D, I don't know what I accidently did. I change to new rom 'Virtuous Quattro (ICS) and it still occur. Now I'm on Hyperion and it is still happening. Please help me.

I cannot tell you the reason for this issue, but it's well known. just download the apk on your Pc and put on Sd card then.
And Sometimes you are downloading an corrupted apk, simply download the app somewhere else.
Sent by my fingers to your head.
They say this error is likely attributed to:
1) Some strange apk not fit for the device. so, try downloading compatible apk.
2) Problems with Dalvik cache. try wiping cache & dalvik cache.
The reason for this is that the app is not downloaded completely. The download may have been interrupted on your phone due to some reason. On PC, the apps are downloaded uninterrupted, so no parsing error.

This occurs in case of corrupted downloads, where the file is shown as completely downloaded but actually some bits are lost while downloading. Very common when the downloading is done on the phone itself. Try downloading via PC and then transfer the apk to the sd card and you should be fine. I came across this when downloading an apk from the xda site itself (in the app development forum i think) and everytime i tried downloading on the phone, i got a parsing error... but as soon as i downloaded on PC and transferred it to phone, it installed right away!
I'm sure APK file is not corrupt. I can install with AndExplorer but not with ES File Explorer. I reinstalled ES File Explorer, but still not working.

Well then i guess you can say goodbye to ES File Explorer and stick to AndExplorer if this solves your problem!
Whatever works for you man! At least you found a workaround...I used to go crazy when i got these parsing errors!!!
Or try a different memory card. I have a Kingston micro-SD which gave me sleepless night awhile.
apk Problem
Have tried to check your Android Minimum SDK Version you have at your Program ??
Check this file and check your device
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="19"
android:targetSdkVersion="20" />
I have faced this problem with old versions , and resolved it by changing the appropriate minSdkVersion

APK installation Astro File Manager issue
For me, the APK installer in Astro File Manager doesn't work atm.
I see a brief scanning popup window but then it disappears.
Until they fix it, it's best to avoid launching APKs from Astro File manager.
If you think your APKs installs are using Astro File manager as the default app, you need to clear it.
On a Samsung Galaxy S7, I had to
1. Settings > Applications > Application manager
2. More (Reset app preferences)
3. If you have Samsung Kids Mode installed, you need to run and reconfigure it (if you don't you'll get annoying popups because Kids Mode app is now unstable until you reconfigure it)
4. Return to ES File Explorer and launch the APK (if there are still issues, continue to step 5)
5. Go back to Application Manager (i.e. repeat step 1)
6. More (drop down menu on top right) > Show system apps
7. Scroll down and locate Package Installer
8. Set as default
9. Try again

I had the same problem it was related to Package installer permissions. Gave the storage permission to package installer it worked. Mine was LG G3 with CM13 by the way.
Need help sideloading..... I normally use side load wonder machine but it wont recognize the skyrocket using ICS 4.04.... anyone have any better options? I know there are a few but just wondering the easiest methods.... and why sideload wonder machine is not working?
YES I have searched and I have even sent messages to the Rom developer for what I am running... no answers.
Thanks a bunch
Lee
dang 224 views and not ONE response???? WTF?
Well you responded.
I've always used drop box to move apks from laptop to phone, then ESfileExplorer to drop the apk into the app folder.
Why do you want to use side load wonder machine? I thought the whole point of it was to bypass AT&T's sideloading restrictions. Why not move the .apk to your sd card then install from your phone?
Or even easier, email it to yourself.
I use Android Commander very useful it will also let you change files
If you decide to try it out on first start right click Run as Admin then click on Program/Settings then click on associate apk's then all you have to do is click on the APK and it will install . I love this program and its free
Put the apk on your SD card. And use any file manager to open it. You must have "unknown sources" checked in settings.
On gb: settings/applications/ check "unknown sources"
On ICS: settings/security/ *scroll down* check "unknown sources"
Once that is checked you can use any file manager from the market, eg. File expert, x plore, astro, Linda manager, es file manager, ect.
And just go to the apk and open it and it will install it. No computer necessary! You only needed to use a computer when att blocked installing third party apps, but they stopped doing that after the atrix.
I hope this helped you

My phone is a Blu Pure XL and rooted.
So I guess I made a slight mistake with wanting to get rid of the stock Calendar app because I just disliked it. Maybe should have just disabled it or something instead. I did a factory reset on it and somehow or another the Calendar app reappeared again. But I am still getting the issue where it shuts down because of the Calendar Storage not being installed anymore (Whoops). I looked online elsewhere and cannot find any apk. Help would be nice! I have tried with reinstalling the app as well and that does no good, I am assuming because it has nothing to do with the app, but rather Android itself.
I don't know if there is just that part I can install through TWRP or something? I know there is an apk app in the Play Store, APK Manager Downloader I believe, that allows you to save apks onto your SD card to send to others. Maybe that would download the apk files from the Pure XL calendar app, then it could be uploaded to this page and I could download and install it.
Resolution!
I was able to find a link (download.apks.org/?apkid=com.android.providers.calendar&ver=5.1.1-981c9024fa&server=darkkiller) for Lollipop 5.1+ Calendar Storage APK. Somebody helped me out on Google+.
You need Link2SD and ES File Explorer and the zip file you downloaded from above (DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE)
I saved the zip to my internal storage, opened the zip in ES File Explorer, and installed the APK in the zip. After that you will have a pop up where you can install. So install the Calendar APK.
Once that has finished, head on over to Link2SD and you should be able to find Calendar Storage. Tap on that then in the top right menu select "Convert to system app". You will have to reboot your phone after after that completes.
This should resolve your issues!
If you are running 4.4.4 and need Calendar Storage APK: (download.apks.org/?server=12&apkid=com.android.providers.calendar&ver=4.4.4-a1d45e8141)
