Recently rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. As of now I'm running Cyanogen Mod 10. Before that I was using Cyanogen Mod 9.0. However I've experienced the same issue with both roms. My favorite apps wouldnt open. However Google play store works so I figured its not my gapps.
1) Spotify- just shows a blank screen nothing else.
2) Evernote- not able to create the database file and tells me to restart the device and make sure my memory card isn't full.
3). Lecture Note- App needs a directory at the media/shared/external storage (SD card) to store the notebook.
So just by searching the forum and not seeing much on the topic, I figured I missed something in the process.
I don't use titanium backup and neither am I familiar with it. But if I have to learn then please tell me so.
I've always wiped before flashing roms.
I know CM 10 is a nightly and all that jive but I really like it. But without apps working then it is useless for me.
Oh and not sure if this is related but every download from a hyperlink on a web page results in a download unsuccessful.

May be try to reflash rom again latest nightly for your specific device + flash gapps jellybean not ics + full wipe after flashing those (wipe cash+wipe dalvik cash in advanced options)
If not working so try wipe data of apps you want in setting
If not so send messages to developers may be their apps not compatible with jellybean need update

Netflix
My device P5113 4.04 stock
I rooted using this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 but now netflix will load up, and I go to play a video and load forever then i get error 11003(note netflix works fine on my phone/ps3).
Does any body know a fix for this?
The original reason i rooted was to attempt to move the notification bar to the top (i hate it at the bottom b/c I constantly hit buttons). So i tried to do this:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18063-move-the-status-bar/
(1) download ES File Explorer
(2) go to settings and activate root explorer and mount r/w
(3) navigate to /system/
(4) click on build.prop and select "ES Note Editor"
(5) look for the line item called "ro.sf.lcd_density=160"
(6) edit it to read "ro.sf.lcd_density=161"
(7) exit and save the file
(8) reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and I broke android(would not boot, go only a black screen) b/c i added this to the file, because i didn't find it, so i had to reinstall.
So my other question is is there anyway to move the status/notification bar to the top? Im about to go back to stock but, i will root again if i can fix netflix.

hello,
today i did a factory reset on my nexus s 2.3.3 and now the youtube had disappeared? and when i check my installed apps youtube is in the list?
and also the market wont update to the latest version?
any help?
thx
How many different places you have to post this?
i thought that i posted it in the wrong section.
excuse me because i'm asking help for something
Hi dont worry just flash gapps package .....google it and you should see a zip file call Gapps which contains all that you require,just flash as normal through clockwork mod by choosing install zip
But i use stock android and want to keep it that way.
Do i have to do the same?

Open a file manager (I know it works with ES File Explorer & and it doesn't work in Astro) and go to system/apps and find the youtube apk and reinstall it. Once you reboot your phone you will now see the youtube app in your apps drawer. This same method will also work for other apps that are showing as being installed that aren't showing up.
Yes. Works for me. I used root explorer. Thank you!

I flash roms a lot and there is something I need to find a fix for.
Once the flash is done I boot up and start initial phone setup menu. I have to sign into my google account at this stage obviously. So once that's done the first thing I want to do is restore my apps with titanium, so I go to the market for it, but the market straight away starts downloading ALL my apps at once when I only want TB to download. Only way to stop it is to go through the entire app list and cancel all the downloads, which takes a while. I cant let the downloads go ahead as it's far too many megabytes.
So I want a way to install TB without using the market. I've tried creating the update.zip in TB options and the zip does get created, but when I flash it from recovery it doesn't install.
Can I get the apk from somewhere and install it that way (I know you can push from cmd prompt although I've never tried it), and if so is there a way to do it on the phone only, as I often flash roms when I'm away from the computer.
When you enter your google credentials, it'll ask you if you want to back up your data. Uncheck it. Once your past that screen go into settings > privacy and assure automatic restore is unchecked.
The apks are in /data/app/ by the way.

I'm very familiar with these options. I always leave the option to backup to google ticked in case I ever need it (unlikely), but I always have auto' restore unticked, so I'm pretty sure that the automatic downloading of my apps is because the market app recognizes that I own them all when I sign in with my google account, and not because of auto' restore - but correct me if I'm wrong.
So how would I install TB using the apk. Does it have to be done with my computer? Is there another way. Root explorer would be great, but I'd have to install that the same way, which renders it useless in this particular case. What do all you experienced people do to get round this. Or do you just get through it the same way I do???
You can extract your TB using root explorer and save it on your sdcard. Sometimes its stored in /system/app or /data/app.
Usually roms come with a file explorer, so once you have a rom installed go to its file explorer and install your backed up TB. That's how I usually do it. Hope that helps.

markfavis,
you the man Your post helped me figure some stuff out. Your thanks meter just went up by a point.
I use ns_collab most of the time and I did not realise it came with root explorer preinstalled until you mentioned roms coming with a file manager. I did a bit of research and discovered root explorer is preinstalled with ns_collab. I never realised it was part of the rom as I already own root explorer so TB always restores my copy.
I've already made a copy of the TB apk files, so I reckon i've got this sorted for next time I flash a rom.
Just one more thing to check. The apk files I have backed up are:
com.keramidas.titaniumbackup-1.apk
and
com.keramidas.titaniumbackuppro-1.apk
Is this all I need to
I think you only need one of those files. One of em is the pro version. I only have one file and I install it like a regular apk file.

Some apps need to be installed via Root Explorer by placing it to some folder.
So why after so many attempts did it work? ??
Also why do some apps insist on only working from the phone memory and not external sd card, is my 64gb card going to be useless?

Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
You should root it, flash a custom rom, remove the unused applications, this will make it a much faster.I'd recommend you flash the Gadgetcheck's RevoHD for Note, its perfect.
Now, when you try to install an application from any other place but market, its normal to not be able to. If you are not rooted you shouldnt be able to as well.
When I try to install an application that I have downloaded from somewhere else I think it requires superuser permissions and I have to go to Settings/Applications/Unknown sources and check it.Doing this might solve your problems.
But cant tell for sure, I'm an owner of S II not note.
Good luck.
I cant root it though

That not right, its a installed file, so you have to place it in its original folder. then restart & done

Hi there... just some ideas and few questions
First off all... is that a new samsung from a store or you bought it from someone else ?
What to try:
- Shutdown the phone
- remove the SD card
- after that boot normaly into the OS
- then go to settings - applications and find the market / play store app
- Click on it, FORCE CLOSE if you can and clear the CACHE
- After that try to install any app.
Tell me whats happening after that all.

Airplayit isnt on the store.
Ive tried all of that, just wont install.
Its a brand new phone and i cant install a cystom rom, it wont root ive tried.
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
To manually install an app, you'll need root access. Try asking in the q&a forum for your specific device for help with that.
After you've gotten root access (however you do it), copy the .apk to /system/app (you can use a adb, a terminal emulator, or a third party file manager to do this)
Then, change the permissions on the file to so that owner, group, and users all have read and write (but not execute) permissions (that's 644 if you're using chmod)
Here's a link that explains how to manually install an app contained in taskmanager.apk
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/03/task-manager-for-cm-rom-on-gt-s5570.html
If you read the explanations (after the he steps you through the process) it's easy to apply this same process to any other .apk no matter where it's stored.
Hello I need some help here.. I don't have Any idea what to do or how to unlock a Motorola or I would've done it by now... I have a triumph and its losing in phone storage space. I'm not sure? If it q build up cache? Or a build of left over system file. Like data logs or something. Please help!!!
Sent from my shooter using xda app-developers app
It's most likely the alog files that are eating up all your storage. The only way to fix it is to either root the phone and use a file explorer to delete them or do a factory data reset.
Rooting this phone is incredibly easy and safe as long as you follow directions. There is a decent selection of Roms to choose from with all kinds of added goodies.
If you want to stay stock, there is a script that you can flash that automatically deletes the alog files upon reboot. (requires root though)
If you need any help understanding all of this stuff just ask.

I know it probably isn't a big whoop, but that site says sm-t210, no sm-t210R.
Even so, I downloaded the rom/firmware (same thing right?) from the live-samsung updates site. I'm just trying to find a reliable way to back up my apps. Too bad Kies only does contacts and stuff. How did you handle your apps before upgrading? Did you use ODIN to do it?

Well either use Titanium Backup or a similar app, or just flash the firmware using odin. I did that and all my data is still present an the update did not wipe anything. And yeah I guess ROM and firmware are pretty much the same thing. At least everybody uses them as synonyms. Though I think there is a slight difference and I personally prefere the word ROM.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Since I don't want to go through rooting again (I had a scary experience with it), I could just flash it? You just flashed the firmware using odin and it didn't affect things like data, game progress (if you have games), things that are stored in memory? I know a few of my apps are connected to certain accounts, so their data is backed up, but my other apps like Pocket I'm unsure about.
What happened with rooting was it caused my device to have a really dim screen with weird colors, and in my panic I went to factory reset because at that point I was trying to get it back the way it was before. I have flashed a stock firmware to get it restored, but that was after I factory reset, so I couldn't tell if my apps lost data since everything was long gone. But if what you said is true, I could theoretically flash 4.4.2 kitkat on my 4.1.2 jelly bean, and my apps would be just as they were, right?
I just wish someone could explain more of the technicality of what flashing a firmware really does to a device. Is it like sweeping a rug out from under a table, with all the dishes still on it, and then replacing the rug with a new one with everything still in place? Sorry, I'm a visual person lol.
Can this firmware (due to the fact that it is completely stock) be flashed in the stock recovery? Just wondering.. I have not modified my device with root or stuff like custom ROMS...
Sent from my stock, untouched Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 on the xda-developers app
I took a leap of faith and agreed to update my firmware thru kies - and surprise - all my apps are still there, and plus my device is now 4.4.2 kitkat!!! I'm so relieved. Thanks to everyone who's tried to help me!
So if anyone is wondering, if you don't want to use ODIN, you can use kies (just make sure you have the right version for your device) and it will detect the firmware for 4.4.2 kitkat and update your sm-t250r for you!! And you will not lose your apps!!

If you use apps like Asphalt 8, mc4 etc you can save your progress on cloud.
If you want to avoid downloading the big games follow the steps below:-
1)install apk extractor.
2)extract apk's of the apps of which you want to backup.
3)open file manager and go to android obb and copy the main obb file of the game you want to desktop.
4)the extracted apks will be in a folder called extracted apks. Copy them also to desktop.
5)in file manager open android named folder and open data folder.
6)and copy all the data to your desktop.
7) that's it you have now backed up your apps and their data.
To restore the apps first install each apk one by one and then place the main obb file in their respective places and put the data files in the data folder.
As I don't use much apps I had factory resetted my device and then flashed the firmware.
