[Q] Apex launcher & CM9 - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi !
I just put CM9 nighlty and the Matr1x's kernel on my Nexus S but now, I can't copy the Apex apk on /system/app.
Does someone have ever experienced this ?

Try installing it , allow SU permissions. After that, clear defaults and data. I've did it that way and it always works. I can try it right now just to double check. You can try using root explorer or an equivalent. Mount the system R/W, copy the apk and move it to the system folder. You may have to reboot the phone though. Ive did it that way once.

Why don't you just enable the root option and get the same functionality?

That's what I was getting at. Lol. For some reason, at least for me, you have to untick and retick the Widgets in drawer function for it to work .

It worked !!
Thanks you !!

How to install the keyboard i try to push and that was a no go where do u push it too?
and i see why they took sprint zone out of every rom thats been release it keeps FC everytime i open it
I second being unable to install this. I was trying through Astro File Manager. It just says "Application Not Installed". If we were to push this, via ADB, where would we push the file?
You may need to create a flashable zip file and flash it. I am not quite sure how to do this but they have a few threads on how.
http://www.robmcghee.com/android/creating-an-android-update-zip-package/
I've try everything to installing this app but it keeps FC.
If you want to try and push it, remove the "HTC_IME. Apk" from system/apps/ then it should let you install it!
If anyone Knows how to fix this error with 2. 2 PLEASE POST IT

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23260596&postcount=2229
I tried to include your on-screen-buttons framework-res.apk
But it keeps crashing even when going back to stock apk.

Permissions was set correctly.
I think I'll have to try some more.
v0.2 is up.
Hope it will fix the problems that nothing happens when selecting an option.
Looking forward to this as it develops.
big thanks!
Doesn't do anything for me.
App has superuser rights but after a reboot both settings didn't change. Tried 3 times now.. I get the toast message and I am on imilka's AOSP rom.

Thanks for that. but I got it working on V2. the problem was I had to manually go into root explorer and enter into system/apps then make sure it was set to rw. then it worked.
Is there ways to change dpi so just the apps/home screen are bigger? all this empty space!
Cheers
Ps. idea for your app, to make a few different settings to change dpi. would be nice
does anyone have v0.2 ? 0.3 is not working at all
V0.3 works for me now, thank you! Are you able to add the ics buttons too with a switch? the 3 button combo with the multitask-home-back button?
Idea's for the next versions?:
DPI changer?
On-screen buttons (back -home- multitask) (switch)
Change of menu (bottom-left) key to multitask key? (switch)
I love Yor MODE m8 but I have one problem. When I enable Tablet UI and after phone rebot and I start ie. Clock to set up alarm I get this error: "Unfortunately, Clock has stopped."
Same happend with allmost every app I like to runa and change some settings.
Also when I start AOSP Tweaker I got error massage: "Unfortunately, AOSP Tweaker has stopped."
When I return LCD denety to 320 everything work as a charm.
Someone some idea how to resolve this isue?
I have foud solution at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23035997&postcount=981
@emptynick - U can add this FW in next release...

Stock news & weather widget

I recently switched to Crash V6 XXLRG 4.0.4 ROm which is absolutely superb
The only thing I miss is the stock Samsung 4 x 1 news & weather widget.
Having saved it from a previous LQ2 stock ROM, I have reinstalled and can use the associated app but the widget itself did not install.
Is there any way of being able to install it?
Thanks in advance...

Hi - I think so in so far as I used the install app function on CWM and clicked yes when the blurb came up about it being a system app and did I want to replace it...
Thanks for taking the trouble to upload this Dr. Ketan - I installed it but unfortunately no change; it works as an app but no 4 x 1 widget!

Thanks Dr Ketan & afilopou - finally worked out how to do this and have moved it to the system app folder, and changed the permission to the same as all the other apps in the folder, namely -rw-r-r-- but widget still does not appear in the add to home screen widget gallery ...
Am I doing something wrong?
I would welcome any other suggestions!
You did it correctly.
And you need to reboot
another thing are you sure you are not using autostart or same application and you have disable to load this appl on boot? this also cause not to display on widget list.

2 steps forward, 1.5 steps back!
I have updated CRASH to v7, widget now installed, however neither the widget or app will actually work - I get an error message saying "network error - try again later" which means I can't acess any news at all!
NB. Wif/data/downloads are working for everything else
There must be a way of rectifying this?!

Have you tried going to the app in app manager and clearing data and cache. If that doesn't do anything you could use a file explorer program to delete it from /system/app folder and then download it from play store.

Programs like root explorer will let you delete it. You have to select the r/w option though because /system is r/o by default.

Are you able to download other stuff from store or do you get the same error with other apps. I know nova isn't supported on our devices so maybe play store is just blocking it. Do you have the apk of the new version. You could try just copy and paste into you system app folder.

well it downloads angry birds. and i thought if an app wasnt supported on a certain device it didnt show up. bc i was running it before and the only problem i came across was that it wouldnt update.
ill try to paste the APK into the system/app folder....
[edit]
i rebooted my phone, this time after the loading screen, it said "Android is upgrading/updating" i dont remember which.... but Nova launcher keeps crashing.... trying to run the beta.... it wont start.
You could try and do the fix permissions option in recovery to maybe give it the right permissions. It might need a certain access level. Also it might have to be in /data/app for market to recognize it. Seems weird though that it's giving you so much trouble. I looked it up on my phone and it shows me the app but has the black bar that says "your device is not supported" in place of the download option. It would be nice if all apps just worked the way you wanted them to.

My wifes phone had that same issue. Everytime she took a video or picture she would have to unmount and remount the sd card for gallery to show it, and that only worked sometimes. She has never rooted and was just using the provided 8gb sd card. I bought her a new 16 gb class 10 from best buy for 20 bucks and she hasn't had the problem since.

Nope, AOSP is apart of the barebones ROM and not packaged in a gapps.
Put the file in /system/app and you're good to go. Root required.

Hi guys - old thread but I have the same issue.
I am using Temasec's CM12.1 and also tried XenonHD rom and these only ship with the Google Keyboard, without symbols over letters. I am on 5.1.1 build.
I got the AOSP keyboard linked above, placed in system/app and repaired the permissions, but AOSP crashes every time I select it and as a result no keyboard shows up when I need to type something.
Anyone got any creative ideas on how to get full aosp kb functionality?
