Galaxy tab ebook app on rooted TF

Hi All, I'm trying to get the Galaxy tab 10.1 ebook apk to work on my rooted TF. It requires that I install "My files" 10.1 apk as a system file as well. I can seem to get it to install. Has anybody tried to get this particular app on their TF. How should I proceed thank you?

Is it even compatible?
You can try adb push it to system/app

Yes I am rooted. Thanks. I used root explorer to get my files into the system app...

Lol, didn't noticed you say you' re rooted. What about permission?
Sometimes when you move file root explorer way you have to manually change permission

Yeah I like the galaxy tab 10.1 reader, the same as on my galaxy tab 7. I tried to install it, but no luck, I think it check for samsung system files. Even by copying the apk directly with root explorer, the app doesn't show.
Edit: well, it does show but it's force closing.
Let us know if you'll manage to get it working.

Yes I have the appropriate permissions in place and read that in order for the ebook apk to work I needed to install my files. The ebook apk boots for a second, showing the shelf and everything, but force closes...
Will let you know, but someone here is bound to have some knowledge, I know it.

I got the apj installed and showing but force closes when I try to import books

Yes we need to have "my files" apk installed in conjunction. However, I can't seem to get it installed. I think the TF may have to be deoxed...not sure why though.

Nope, even on deodex rom it doesn't work, I'm on Prime 1.7.

[Q] installing apk on unrooted tf

I'm working with a new b80 so its unrooted running stock rom 3.2 android hopefully a root will be out soon.
what happens: the package installer runs tells about it but install button is not clickable only cancel is
i have tried lots of apks. get the apk to the tf by any means sd or usb or hook it up and put it in there with windows
find it with a file manager and try to run it and the above happens
have also tried installing it with windows installers meant for phones with no luck
yes i have a check mark by allow unknown sources
yes i have tried several installers from the market
yes i have tried different file managers from the market too
get the same result
can you install apks on unrooted machines?

Does app from market install?
Shouldn't matter if you're rooted or not unless you're trying to install a system apk

yes market apps work just fine

Have you tried using the "install application" option in Asus Sync?

Can you tell us what app? Maybe it's not compatible or something. If you got it from a pirating site or any other site, it could probably be corrupt.

just got several aps ones that i havent been able to install any other way pirated and some that are not to install useing asus sync
It works great if anyone knows a work around i would still like to know just so i wouldnt have to be home to install apks
Thanks for your time guys

[Q] apk from android market

hello i downloaded some free apps from the market with a friends rooted phone and backed them up using systemapp remover. i then mailed the apks to my mail address and downloaded them on my tab (which does not have access to the market), i then tried to install them everything looked alright but then i got the message: application not installed and that was for all three free apps from the market. do i have somehow manipulate them before i can install them? thanks for any tips

Maybe those free apps are not compatible with the tab's kernel?
You already said that you backed up those apps from a phone. Try getting a market app and then download them, they'll work.
Use gapps for gingerbread from the development section, and apply them using recovery.

Your apps might not be compatible with your Tab's Kernel.
I would suggest you to install Vending.apk (PlayStore app) first on your tab with the help of root manager and then see if it works or not or search the apps in tab section (PlayStore), follow the old steps and then see if it works.
Good luck!

Try installing the latest version of gapps

Is the phone you are installing these apps to rooted itself? I've had problems with USENET APK downloads in the past, but after rooting just about everything works. Not sure why though.
Out of curiosity, why not download the free apps directly yourself from the market instead of attemting a direct install?

many thanks to all for the tips. will try them in a few hours when its more quite at work.
the reason i can not install it from the market is that my device is not up to the specifications, its one of those hp zeen thingys, not a great tab at all but nice enough to play around with a bit. however what i will try is to install google play as it might work (the new market) but i doubt it, it had the old vending market on it but i removed since it was not working.
what i did also is that i moved those free market apps with root explorer to the tabs memory and try install it from there but it didn't work.
is it maybe because my device is not 'strong' enough for those apps? its just normal bus and train information apps....
and yes the tab is rooted

Hey Kart. Right away I can tell you that there is no support for S-Pen functionality in this rom. As for your apps, I have never had this problem? Did you flash the appropriate 4.4 PA Gapps?

Rooting Samsung Galaxy Express GT18730T - Android is v4.1.2

I have followed many suggestions, but have failed so far. ONE of many difficulties is that I can not get the phone to download iRoot APKs, so did it on my PC instead, and succeeded in copying them into the Phone's DOWNLOADS (quite visible on my PC) but the phone does NOT show them when I open Downloads - so I can not try to install them to see if they will root the phone. A solution to rooting would be welcome; as also how to make those APKs visible in the phone.

I downloaded and installed File Manager App and that revealed the files copied in. One problem solved. They would not install until I had changed Settings to allow APK's from unknown sources to be installed. Second problem solved. Rooting was solved by installing iRoot. Third problem solved. But even then I could not dispose of unwanted system Apps, till I downloaded and installed NoBloat Free; Fourth problem solved. Then Application Manager offered to uninstall updates, with the warning that the app would be replaced by the factory version, but went ahead and uninstalled the app anyway. Fifth Problem solved. HOWEVER, even though Application Manager now only shows a handful of apps, the screens are still cluttered with many icons I was hoping to be rid off. Can someone tell me how to remove the already uninstalled apps from the screens ?
