Did you install it to system?

Did you fix permissions after installing?

@ regp No, how do you do that?

I also had this issue... The secret it the app is looking for two libraries in /system/lib, they are: libPDMaster.so and libPDMaster_Clipboard.so. So the install is:
1. install DocMaster.apk
2. make /system/lib r/w
3. copy libraries: libPDMaster.so and, libPDMaster_Clipboard.so
4. make /system/lib r/o

Sorry, but I don't see these two files?

Getting Polaris Office to Work
You can find the files in the one of the official T-Mobile ROMs in the system/lib folder.

can somebody supply us with the 2 files separately cause it takes time for me to download 500MB for 2 small files.
thanks.

this one worked on my rezound, which doesn't have those lib files.
This one is for ICS:

but might work for GB as well. If not, pm me and I'll post the gb one from my stock rom.

Download "Bloater G2x". Goggle it if you do not understand. It was created by a great xda dev. Works every time. Be sure to thank the people that created it.

Or if there's still anyone out there that's needing the polaris apk, you can always just get adobe reader from the market. Has always opened every PDF file I've ever tried.

Is that a complete install that puts the files where they need to be, or does one separately need to obtain the two library files?

Pardon my ignorance but I've never used Polaris... can someone tell me what this app does?

It's a document reader

[Q] why can't my Bluetooth receive apk files

Can't receive apk from other cellphones? Other files are OK.. but other files are denied .. does this have anything to do with certificates?or does this have a work around

used just two times and it works for me,
but i was using appmanager utility from jrummy, and codename rom
if i didn't get wrong... used share (by bluetooth) option instead of send (via bluetooth)
maybe this can help you

Ill try that method ... I'm still at stock rom. I will post if there's any change
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

i tried a SE elm to send a apk file and still my nexus S rejects it, may be your stock rom has been tweaked already, maybe its embedded in the system... i dont know pls anyone help me out here ? it would be much appreciated and with my deepest gratitude

Maybe my own method can help you.
Change file's name on file explorer (ES, Root Explorer..anyway).
Bluetooth.apk to Bluetooth.jpg
Send Bluetooth.jpg via Bluetooth.
After sending progress is end, change jgp to apk and install it.
I usually use this method when my brother(Samsung Galaxy S, Korea model) gets a funny game.
Hope it works!

Well that worked but it was a bit too tasking ..thanks anyway ..
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

thanks, this helps as a workaround. i would like to know if there are any other way to do it directly.

I have been using other cwm but still can not receive apk files from other devices .. is there any solution other than changing the file extension will be accepted?

Requesting S3 Alarm Clock APK

After rooting my S3, I got a little over zealous uninstalling all the bloatware. As such, I mistakenly deleted the alarm clock (ya know, the one that works with S Voice). Does anyone have the apk for the stock touchwiz alarm clock? The only downloads I can find are modded versions ported for other phones.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to download a stock rom and search the zip. Normally they are located in the \system\app directory. Make sure you match permissions with other system apps.

I downloaded "BeansStockR3.1". Since I am a new member, I can't post a direct link, but it was the only google result when searching for exactly that. Also, I PMed you a link directly to the ClockPackage.apk.

Do you mind PM'ing me a direct link to the ClockPackage.apk?! =D
I typically put all these apk's in a box or dropbox account. Comes in handy for sharing with friends n stuff.

Here's a dropbox for 4.0.4 ClockPackage

And if needed the 4.1.1 from JellyWiz Rom

Hi there, this is how i fixed my alarm problem
firstly download the clock apk relavent to your phone, i think that there are 3 different ones provided in this thread.
Secondly you need to download something from the play store called "Rom toolbox pro" its £3 but if you ask in the forums here someone can probably point you to a free one that does the same thing.
make sure your phone is rooted, install and run Rom toolbox pro. click on Root Browser, navigate to where you put the APK on your phone, copy and move it to root/system/app. Once you have moved the apk find it in the app folder, click and hold it for a couple of seconds. A menu should popup with options, click on "permissions" set them so they are like this. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2pphiyo&s=6 If you are using a different app you will need to set your permissions accordingly, yet again im sure there is someone on here clever enough to help with that.
Now just restart your phone, the APK will run on boot.
These are the exact steps i followed and they worked for me. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2h353dl&s=6
I hope you have the same luck

Hi,
I'm not an android developement expert but have a question about your advice.
If we delete only the app from /system/app folder (and nothing more. via root explorer), won't it cause trouble?
I would like to give an example for clearing this issue in my mind. In windows, if we just delete the exe file from the Program Files, it doesn't mean we uninstalled the program. It still lefts dll files etc. Is it like this in android?
I asked this because I wanna uninstall the apk's in my custom rom like Google Player or DSP Manager. The developer installed them inside the custom rom, so they look like system apps and as a result I can't uninstall them...

replace them via root explorer and check the permission for new file then restart your device and it will work

adroid system are module style, a apk consist of every thing needed to run the apps. but some app need extra lib file, if you can find the lib file used by a apk to run, than you can delete it form system/lib too.

Exactly what the post above said. Some system apps have .lib files (like windows dll) but i would leave them if i were you because your replacement apps might have dependancies on those lib files. Im not entirely sure.
Also, the libs are stored in system/lib

nono ...i copied the apk files from an ics rom tried to put in gingerbread rom...and whie installing i got this error!!

Apps specially for ICS won't work in gb roms. These 2 version of roms are quite different.
Pls don't simply mess up with the roms version.

Btw, if you back up your original rom's apk files, there is a chance to use them on your custom roms. It has a higher chance if your custom is based on your original rom.
For example, I backed up samsung's music player and photo editor apk on original DDLF2 and installed them on my custom Frankestain rom. Now I'm using them with no problems. I must mention, the original fm radio apk didn't work on custom rom, as it needen some special libraries/frameworks.

[Q] 4.2 - Hard freeze when attempting to play music files

Hello all,
I've recently upgraded to 4.2 using CyanogenMod 10.1. I understand this is not the "Cyanogen forum" -- I am not certain my issue is related to the ROM.
Whenever I attempt to play an MP3 file, located in "/storage/emulated/0/Music", the phone hard freezes and the battery must be removed to restore functionality.
I've tried using the following applications to do so.
- Google Play Music
- Apollo
- Android Music Player (from the market)
I've tried the following troubleshooting steps.
- Browse manually to afile, and try to open it with all three of those apps - all result in a hard freeze
- Allow the apps to find the files, which they do, then play them -- same result
- Delete entire Music library, then transfer over a "fresh" album after creating a Music folder, then repeat the steps above - same result
- Attempted to use the file manager to modify permissions on the folder - none of the changes saved
Interesting notes
- I can copy the files, or delete them. I have no problem accessing them with the file manager. I can access image files in the same folders
What's odd is that I can read/write from the storage just fine with other applications, such as Colornote. I'm a bit unfamiliar with the 4.2 directory structure (emulated? 0?) but it seems to be related to multiple user functionality. I am familiar with Linux in general. Can anyone offer any advice, tips/tricks, or further troubleshooting steps I can take? Any help is much appreciated.
Best regards.

Changing lpa.decode to "false" then rebooting the device solved this issue. I've bookmarked these places for future reference.
Thanks again.

Also don't forget when you flash something else change the build prop back to true so you don't run into problems may or may not cause a problem just a good habit to get into.
