Earlier I heavily debloated a GingerBread ROM. In the process I removed the Readers Hub as well. I have a backup copy of the apk, but whenever I try to install it, it says "Application Not Installed". I even tried to copy the apk to system/apps and reboot the device, but did not work. I need the press reader utility along with the readers hub as it gives 4 free subscriptions. Any one knows how to do this?
Hey buddy, over which rom u are right now?

If it is odexed maybe you need to place the apk together with it's odex file in /system/app/ .

The 'Application is not installed' is usually given when some dependencies (on libs, frameworks or apks) aren't met. Fire up 'adb logcat' and install the app on the device. Then examine the log output. It'll give some light on the issue.

I've tried to install a few apps like the google app that is named "com.googlemusicbeta.apk" and I've noticed that everytime I try and load an app that starts with com.name, I can't install it; I get an error.
Is there something I don't know about this?
They need to be installed as system apps. The do this using either adb or terminal emulator and push the files to system/app.

On pc open up file with winzip or winrar and go into lib and armeabi and copy the .so file onto sdcard. Using root explorer copy .so file into system/lib fix permissions and restart phone and all should be ok. I have heard of people having to find their voice talk and voice command files and delete them because they were conflicting with s-voice.
Installed just fine for me from apk. Works pretty good. But once you say a command it stops it doesn't continue listening.

Installs fine, opens fine, scribes the command you say fine.. But the moment you try and touch any button or click the command you entered it just crashes. And i set permissions...

first thing i did was rename vlingo.apk to .old, and voicetalk.apk to .old. tried copying in the new voicetalk.apk, no luck off the bat, got in, got through the setup screen but force closes after that. Just tried moving the .so file in and wiping the cache's and fixing permissions. still getting a force close. suggestions?
edit: clearing app cache seems to have fixed it, even tried that woodchuck thing. impressive.
edit 2: iphones recognition seems to be about as accurate for what I tried, however it did come up with the answers far quicker.

Same issues getting it to work without FC'ing - same suggestions above apply? Going to mess with it but don't have a lot of free time today and tomorrow
So after a bit of playing around i figured out that if you push it to the system/app folder and fix the permissions, then go back in the system/app folder and install the apk like a normal app, its been working fine. Had one FC since, but working 100% better then before. Goodluck!

fastest way
1) put on SD card
2) use root explorer (or whatever app you use, copy file to system/app
3) set permission (RW- R-- R--)
4) reboot
5) look in app drawer and open. works fine hasn't force closed yet.
If you tried another way and it failed you must delete the one out of your system/app, reboot and then follow the steps exactly.
yes you must be on ICS
Im using Alien ICS ★ Build #8 ★ it works great
thanx romracer
Ok not sure if this is the right place or what but im a go ahead anyway, i was looking at some custom roms and i notice that some roms had the DownloadproviderUI.apk i tried pulling it and putting it on my phone but nothing i keep getting error messages that the file cant be something.(sorry)
the apk was running on the Triumph and i have a Triumph but its on a custom rom im running a Stock and it cam from a CM7 so is it possible to port the apk file to Stock and how if anything?
The stock rom should have a apk handler with it also, are you trying to download apps from browser and install them? If so just go to settings. Then application . Click unknown resources hit ok, best to have a file explorer to find downloads and install

No really like that, I know how to do that im talking about if i wanted to take a app from the CM7 roms apk file then add it to my SD card and download it to my phone (i know ill still have to do what you said also) but when i do it says "problem parsing the package" but it comes from a triumph rom so how doo i get this to work on the stock roms?
Hmm, just needing the DownloadproviderUI.apk from cm7? Extract from zip then try pushing it to system/apps and fix permissions, then reboot . Should work

That Would work but how do i get it to stick to a rom? like if i added it to the System/app folder then flashed the rom? I got the ICS Keyboard to work by adding the LIB files within the app its self to the Rom then flashed and that works but this app isn't the same.
What from are you going to flash? If its a cm7, it'll be there won't have to do that. If you want to add your apps before you flash decompile add recompile zip then flash

There are a few things that are different with the APK's
if its just a plain old third party app APK, then putting it on the sd card and locating and installing with a file explorer of some sort should work fine
If its a system related app that must be in the system with permissions then theres 2 ways, sometimes one way doesnt work
a. simply open the rom's zip and add it to the system/app folder(sometimes after doing this you'll still need to navigate to the folder and hit install usually itll install itself)
b. the trickier one if a. doesnt work, have the apk on the sd, using a file explorer that will allow you to change permissions, change the system folder from read only to read/write move or copy the apk from the sd card to the system/apps folder, Install it, then switch the folder back to read only and reboot
also keep in mind that if your trying to bring an app from CM7 to Stock some probly just wont work, CM7 is gingerbread based while stock is froyo, gingerbread changed how things like texts, data, camera, and hdmi are read by the phone and how they function or where the files are so it may just not work

How do you get a .apk to execute(or even see it on a sd card in stock device? without market/file browser?

you cant, if it was a System apk then Sometimes, you can put it into the correct folder inside a custom roms Zip and itll install itself
otherwise you need to download some type of file manager so you can navigate thru the folders, then just clicking the apk should pop-up and install menu
Hi everyone,
I'm sort of like new here, I had a problem entering download mode after flashing xbsall's ics ported rom, that's solved now due to some users posting threads with the same problem. Thank you
I noticed that no one is talking about the 3D Converter not working properly, I tried Angry Birds 1 (Space didnt have 3d functionalities under GB and Star Wars appears to be going the same way, I think Rovio is planning on realeasing another trilogy on the 3DS and that is why they took away 3D functionalities for smartphones).
Anyway, Angry birds 1 3D functionalities were not working properly under the 3D converter so I decided to delete the application through root uninstaller in order to be able to install the GB HRZ.apk version. While I was trying to do that, before being able to touch the uninstall feature, I noticed the root uninstaller did something and it deleted the application but in a wrong way. I was not able to install the HRZ.apk posted inside an xda thread because the system was telling me that it was going to replace a system application, bla bla bla and after going for its installation, it gave me the message that the application was not installed.
Through root explorer I deleted every single com.lge.lge3dconverter / hrz file and folder I could find, I cleaned the dalvic cache feature through the ram booster program and after all that, the system was still telling me the same thing as before when I tried to install the HRZ.apk GB app.
What can I do in order to be able to have a perfectly functional 3D Converter application for my games like I had it when I was using the GB rom? :crying:
Thank you in advance...
U cant install (Most of the time) an system app just by clicking on the . apk like a normal app. you have to use a root explorer an copy your app to the folder /system/app and then set permission to it like the other apps in that folder. then you have to reboot

Thank you, I did what you said, I put the HRZ.apk GB app inside the /system/app and rebooted the phone, nothing happened, I do not *know what launcher are you talking about...sorry for that.
I did something else too, I put the HRZ.apk inside the /system/apps/boot (or bootloader cant remember) folder and managed to see it inside the Application manager app listed as needing an update (maybe its still detecting the ICS 3d converter app badly uninstalled as installed). I tried to update the app and it gave me an error.
Do you or anyone have or has the xbsall's ics 3d converter apk ? If so, can you put that apk version available here as a download, please?
I know it was the one that was giving me problems but if the system is not letting me install the GB 3.0 version, I need the one that came with the rom in order to see if there is another way to fix the problem...
Thank you and thank you guys for your help...

Whether issue is with not able to download apk files or installing the apk files?
It is with bringing apk file on phone. If coming from pc I have to rename it to a zip file. It like the phone doesn't recognize the file type.

If the file is renamed to zip. Then when you completed copying file from pc to phone again rename the file with apk extension.
I. E. If you have abc.apk and you rename to abc.zip while copying to phone, then rename file to abc.apk and install it
Thanks doesn't hurt....
I know that thanks for your help though but I hope I fixed it. After rebooting phone several times it dawned on me to unmount and remount sd card. Tried it and worked. We'll see if it worked 100%. Lol
