Hi,
I just started playing with my AT & T Galaxy SII Skyrocket. I installed superuser on it and then tried some themes with Metamorph app on Android Market. Specifically, it gives an option to change themes for settings so I kept trying it. After this, my Settings has disappeared. I cant see it anymore on applications or in the top bar.
I tried installing a new settings.apk from the net, but I get a "installed failed, no certificate" error. I tried opening the existing settings.apk from AndroExplorer but that throws a "parse error, cannot open application".
Can someone help me with instructions on how to get back my settings or how to install a new settings.apk?
Thanks!

Sorry for my english thanks for advance
Without knowing what device you have and based on the info you gave here's my advice.
Try other root file managers to replace the nodded settings apk with the original and fix permissions, then reboot.
If you have tried all root file managers with no luck you may need to flash a custom recovery like twrp and use the built in file manager to do this, then use the fix permission option in twrp
One thing that was brought to my attention was whether you properly compiled the apk. Here's the link to the apk tool with instructions on how to properly use it.

Hey Guys,
i got a little Problem with "Samsung Apps" on my Galaxy s6 (Stock Rom Android 5.0.2).
I rooted it, and thougt i should delete some of the System Apps. I also removed "Samsung Apps" thinking i won't need it.
After i wanted to download some Camera features i got the error : "com.sec.android.app.samsungapps is disabled", but i can't enable it ( yeah, maybe beacause its gone)
So i tried reinstalling it, using the Apk from this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/hot-galaxy-s6-apps-t3041330
not functioning "Can't install the App"
also i tried getting the apk from the Stock "app" folder or "priv app" of the system dump, and copying the folders on my S6 device (to the same path)
http://zidroid.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-g920fxxu1aobn-system-dump/
still not able to reinstall. Reboot didn't change anything.
So last but not least, a factory reset didn't work either.
It has cleared everything and set the device to default settings etc, but "samsung Apps" is still not listed anywhere.
The question: does anyone have a clue how to reinstall it ? or do i have to download the Stock Image and flash it ?
Thanks for your time

I think the proper section for this would be the Q&A forum. Anyway, if you copy the app make sure to set the right permissions. In any case, if you flash a stock image over the one you have now, the problem should be solved. If it's not solved, a factory reset after that should fix it.

Ok thanks for the hint with the permissions.
I used der folder /system/priv-app/
and copied the Galaxy_Apps_3xh_zero.apk to my S6 path.
installing still wasn't working after setting the permissions ro rw-r-r- (like the other working apps)
i'm not sure, but i think it's something like an autostart path, so rebooting the phone after these steps, fixed my problem.
thread can be closed or whatever

Hey, I recnetly rooted my LG K330 (A.K.A. LG K7 - T-Mobile model) and I installed the app 'Texdroider DPI' to change the size of the on screen buttons. Shortly afterwards, I tried opening File Manager and I get an error 'Unfortunately, File Manager has stopped working'. This error also occured with the Settings app, but it was fixed when I changed my the DPI to 255 from the 'Texdroider DPI' app. The error still occurs with the apps 'Calculator, Calender, File Manager, and Music (all preinstalled on my phone)
UPDATE: The Calender app has also started working.
UPDATE 2: I forgot to mention this before but all the icons for the apps that stopped working were replaced with the Droid icon.
UPDATE 3: The Settings icon reverted back to the original icon when it started working, but the Calender icon is still a droid icon.
UPDATE 4: I am running my phone on its stock room (room that came preinstalled on phone)
Anyone wants to help me out?

Hi, since the Oreo update I can't find the "Unknown sources" to install APK's freely. I'ts not under "Lock Screen and Security", and I have enabled Chrome in "Applications/Special Access/Install other apps" and I'm trying to install apps from the "Downloads" section of chrome, but it dosn't work this way either.
I was trying to install the Pixel Launcher as seen from here: https://theunlockr.com/2018/03/13/make-samsung-galaxy-s9-look-like-stock-android/
But everytime I try it I get the "<!> Application not installed".
I don't know exactly what says in english, I'm using my phone in spanish.
Any ideas? Thanks!
If you go to Settings-Apps-3 Dots-Special Access-Install Unknown Apps.
They've moved it so only certain apps can install unknown apps
Please help how to fix this problem. This doesn't work, I tried installing Accuweather pro several times. I have the app saved to my Google Drive, I click on the app and I see something called 'Staging App' and then I get this alert ' There was a problem parsing the package'. I currently had an older version of Accuweather pro installed and working fine. I decided to remove the old version and then reinstall it and I received the same alert. FYI the old Accuweather app was installed before the Oreo update.

Have you tried downloading your APP file from Google Drive to your phone then opening the copy on your phone, that should install the .apk
Go to settings on the phone >> apps >> 3 vertical dots at the top right corner >> special access >> install unknown apps >> and there enable the permission from where you are trying to download it.
All thank you,
I found out that you now have to download the app to your phone. Google Drive does not allow you to download and manually install .
Dear sir/madam,
Following your answer, in specific this part, "They've moved it so only certain apps can install unknown apps", perhaps someone could help me out. I use the Firefox Focus browser and this app doesn't show up in the list of apps that are allowed to install unknown apps.
* Does this mean Firefox Focus can't install apps from unknown apps, since it's not on the list?
* And perhaps we can conclude from that it will never be allowed to do so?
* Or would this app not be on this list, because I've never tried installing anything using this browser?
I guess the real question would be, what populates this list?
I hope to hear from you, thanks in advance, all the best.
Form what I've seen, 1st time you try to install apk from an app it asks you if you want to allow it?

That's what I was thinking as well, funny thing is that 'Google Chrome' is in the list and I've never used that browser. Unless it's there, because it's from Google
I have followed the above suggestions and have allowed Chrome to install apps since that's the browser I'm using. The phone says I have downloaded the app but it is not giving me any option to install it? Where did the download go and how can I get it actually installed? This is an app for work.
Edit: Nevermind - I restarted the phone and tried again and it worked. thanks.
