(Q) not able to install downloaded apks - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hey everyone, I've had this problem before but I have gotten around it by flashing my Rom over again. I'm getting really tired of doing that so thought I would bring it to the table.
I get to the screen where there is the install or cancel button and it shows the permissions. I can click the cancel button but not the install button. Before anyone asks, unknown sources is checked, you can't get to that screen without it.
Anyone had this issue or know had to solve it?

Have you tried manually pushing the .apk's to system/app, change permissions and rebooting

Well I don't have the ability to adb, nor do I feel comfortable trying to get it work on many super old mac.
Can I just place the apk inn the system folder? By fix permissions, do you mean with tibu?

I wasn't saying to use adb. What I meant was: use a file explorer to move the .apk's into the system/app folder. Then long press on each apk, click properties / permissions and make sure the permissions are Rw-r--r--. If they are not then edit as need be. Reboot your phone. Profit

Well I tried that and it sorry of worked. Fly some nasty force close death, but in finding a file manager that I could chamber permissions with I un installed astro and installed es file Explorer, terns out that it with root permissions enabled on es, it has an app installer built in the and I learned a new trick with /system/app in the doing so thanks to all that replied.

Its an app doing it. On my atrix it was an app to force the lights on on the keys. Others have said it has to do with some dimmer type setting in an app. Another person had this problem with root toolbox I believe. If you have any of those type apps messing with the backlight or keys lights, I suggest removing one by one to see if it fixes.

I do have a screen darkening ago installed. Interesting that it would cause that. I have not tested this theory as the work around is very simple but thanks for the heads up.

[Q] Phone.apk

Hello all,
I did some searching around and couldn't find the answer. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to pull the Phone.apk file from a CM build and use it in my rooted, but otherwise stock NS4G. The reason I want to is because CM's builds have a built-in blacklist app, that I want.
So what did was copy the Phone.apk from the latest nightly (22), and tried to installing it on my phone. It didn't work, and I just got the error 'application not installed'. And simply dropping it in the /system/app folder (overwriting the old phone.apk) didn't work either. I just got a lot FC's whenever I tried to open the call settings.
Is what I'm trying to do even possible, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Well. Contacts.apk is the one you want. And yes it will work. But you have to be deodexed also.

Are you deodexed? If so flash this
http://droidfiles.us/downloads/mikeyinid/Transparent_Dialer.zip
Its transparent but its the CM dialer. You can grab the contacts.apk from CM if you want and put it in the .zip instead, I personally have had issues when using the one from cM, not the transparent one though.

Failed again. I tried flashing it from recovery and it just says 'installation aborted'. I am running the deodexed build of Gingerbread, that I got from Pete's site.
I use system app remover you can get it in the market. After you install it you will find a folder called /SystemAppBackup. Drag your cm apks and copy them to this folder. Open system app remover app, click the menu button, and press "restore app" choose your apps and boom. Rom manager doesn't always work for me on this phone even when you set permissions. This has worked for me. Hopefully it will bring you luck

Didnt work. System app remover let me copy the modified apk over but once I did I could no longer open the dialer (app is not installed on your phone error). So instead of messing around this, I'll just wait for CM to go final.
Thanks to everyone for your help.

Hi, I'm new here and I this is my first droid, so i need some help. I have done an extensive search and looks like I'm the only one with this problem.
I've rooted my g2x (2.3.3), etc, installed the notification led, change permissions to rw-rw-rw (sys/devices/plataform/star_touch_led/wled), so far so good. But when I reboot (turn off/turn on) the phone my permissions get back to rw-rw-r. So every time I turn on the phone I have to change it manually.
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Phone problem?

Well for one, when you install the app there's no need to change its permission like that. Maybe that's why it switches back after a reboot..

That's on Froyo.
On gingerbread, this app doesn't work that way. If I dont change the permissions it will never work. It's like when I turnoff/turn on the phone the permissions get back to "factory data reset".
Anyone with the same problem?

Well, finally it's solved. Dunno how, but the permissions doesn't' change anymore. Thank anyway.

Do you have the latest version from the Market. It detects whether or not the file is readable and asks you if it can make changes, and then gets superuser permissions. It must set the file settings every time the phone boots. If you do have the latest version try going into the program interface itself and see if there are options for this. If you cannot find them, simply uninstall the program (delete its data first) and then reinstall it. The first time you run it the program should go through whatever it needs to do to get su permissions, etc. You must be rooted on GB for this app to work.
I am rooted, I know how to use that apparently but fir some reason it doesn't detect anymore. But I got a modified version from the Dev and it skips the detection part. The dev said he figured out why it was doing it. Might be an update or something ..

It will flash...but don't expect video (and whatever else it breaks) to work...
It is based off of the latest AT&T leak so it has to have the stock kernel for everything to work.
Yes any Infuse modem will work.
Fonts
Are there any fonts or themes for this rom? I was under the impression it was based on MIUI, and could therefore be customized. the only MIUI element I see is the lockscreen manager. Am i missing something?
Its a work in progress, give it time, Nop seems to have a lot in store for his new Rom!

After flashing, Superuser is disappeared from App drawer and become "unrooted" but superuser is already installed as reported by Market.
Uninstall and reinstalling, no problem but still now shown in App Drawer and reported "unrooted" whenever useing apps which need root access..
Tried re-root with SOC, stuck with the messeage "waiting for device" and would not be continued..
Any idea ??

Odin/heimdall flash a custom kernel. then download the su updater for cwm I think the link is in the open of caty rom or something. reflash the rom (sometimes su gets corrupt and causes all sorts of issues, best to format /system and reinstall the rom for good measure) and flash the su updater immediately after. make sure you do this before a reboot and that voodoo is disabled on your phone. there should be a folder on the root of the SD card named "Voodoo" the V is capital and in that rider should be a text file or folder named "disable-lagfix" if this is not there before you flash the voodoo/cwm enabled kernel and lagfix gets enabled you must disable it and reboot before you flash the rom.
this leak is really secure, you need the custom "insecure" kernel to root it and there seems to be an issue with the build of bionix causing people problems. read the thread but don't get too confused on all the different advice.
also if you can use heimdall I posted a heimdall flashable dump from my phone in the bionic thread. it already has updated superuser and su.

no Voodoo exists but the disable-lagfix file/folder doesn't. it is usually a file but if you create it as a folder it works.
if you have no Voodoo folder you should create it as well as the disable-lagfix to speed up the process and avoid issues. or you can install bionix from my heimdall package. your choice.
I cant tell fron the screenshots....does this rom have the lockscreen that allows you to choose unlock, phone, sms, or camera?

You can try uninstalling adfree from tibu
If that doesn't work, you may have to try to figure out how to fix permission, wipe dalvik and wipe cache.

[Q] Jelly Bean Lockscreen Circle Notifications?

I've been doing some searching around the web and haven't been able to find a fix for this yet. I flashed the latest Jelly Bean leak last night and noticed that the circle notifications on the lockscreen are gone (the ones for missed calls/new messages). I saw a fix for the Galaxy Note II that involved changing a file name and that would bring those back. Is there any way to bring them back on the S3?

Simple fix. You need a File Explorer app that has Root permissions, access to Root directory, and can mount System files as writable (I recommend ES File Explorer).
In you file explorer, navigate to "/system/csc/" and rename "customer xml" to "customer xml.bak".
Restart your phone. The Lock icon and "verizon wireless" text will be gone from your lockscreen, and the bubble notifications will be back.
I've tried that using CleanRom5 and it didn't work for me :-/

I'm not sure what you guys are doing, but this solution definitely works and has been done by hundreds of people successfully.
My guess is that you don't have the proper root permissions to change the file name (it's a system file). Do it using ES File Explorer. Go into the ES File Explorer settings, go into the Root Settings, and check all of the boxes. Then rename the file. It works on CleanRom 5, I am 100% positive of that.
I have no yet flashed CleanRom5.5, but I am 99% positive this same solution will work on that as well.

I was able to do that fix, but every time I unlock the phone, it shows the hint "swipe this notification to see new messages" or whatever. I changed it back because that was annoying me, but it just kept coming back. If anyone knows a fix, let me know. I miss my bubble notifications.

I'm glad you mentioned this, because it was happening to me too. Go into Application Manager>All Apps and find the app called "Help". Click "Disable". You will only have to to do this once. Only downside is that you will lose all of these little How-To dialogues, not just the one for the bubble notifications, so make sure you know how to use all your apps before you disable this (you can always turn it back on if you need it later). Note: the "How to use motions" guides are separate and will still function even with Help disabled.
Thanks for the tip. it worked for me. Running Clean Rom 5.5.1
If people are still having trouble getting this to work, just add .bak to the end, leave the.xml there.

I deleted it with an app like titanium backup. After that you just need to reboot your phone and installed the inverted APK and all is well.
This method works for just about all the system apps. Just remember to Make a backup before you start cutting away.

yep Email didn't work.
Unfortunately I stopped using Blackout apps because of a bug. Every time I would install any Blackout apps, my Hangouts would develop a weird scrolling bug (even if I didn't install blackout hangouts at all). On normal Hangouts when you type a message and send it, it should scroll to the very bottom. But when mine was bugged, it never scrolled after I typed a message, unless someone replied. I could scroll manually but still, drove me nuts. Reinstalling hangouts and it's lib dependance didn't fix it. Reverting blackout apps didn't fix it either. Tried wiping cache, dalvik, wiping hangouts data, nothing. I had to do RSD Lite complete clean flash to make it work properly again.
I really wish I could have them on, if it weren't for the hangouts bug.

It's not the same.
So, is there any way to do this on a verizon one (locked bootloader)? In my attempt to install the blacked out mms, I tried flashing the zip from stock recovery, but it failed to verify. Tried installing the Mms.apk from the zip via adb and pm, and it said INSTALL_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES
so then I signed it with a key as per android doc, and then I got INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED. so i figured out it was because the /data/data/com.android.mms was still hanging around. removed that, tried again and got INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT. That's where i stopped.
I'm starting to think i'll have to wait till there's safestrap for moto x. If not then let me know what i need to do!

Just manually install it with any root explorer but before you replace your existing MMS apk , rename it to MMS.apk.bak. Change permission to rw-r-r and reboot.

Can you explain what you mean by "manually install it" ? If you mean clicking the apk file and and hitting install, that doesn't work for me. from Root Browser, with system mounted as read write, it just says "App did not install"
If I just copy to /system/app and change permissions, it doesn't actually install it. it's not listed as an app in my applications.
I did figure out that I can restore the titanium backup by mounting /system as read write and restoring the backup, so i have my messaging back, just really want to get blacked out working!
EDIT: another thing I tried was replacing the apk file in the titanium backup with the blacked out apk. That also did not work. Titanium backup just sits there spinning with "restoring app"

Can you explain what you mean by "manually install it" ? If you mean clicking the apk file and and hitting install, that doesn't work for me. from Root Browser, with system mounted as read write, it just says "App did not install"

Any chance you're using jcase's root method? You use any root file explorer , copy the MMS apk , go to system/app and change the existing MMS.app to MMS.apk.bak and also the odex mms file, then copy the inverted mms .apk and change the permissions to rw-r-r

Okay, tried your way. It doesn't matter whether I remove Mms.apk, rename it to Mms.apk.bak, or straight overwrite it with the other. Every time the original Mms.apk leaves the /system/app folder, it is removed from the list of installed apps. The Messaging app literally disappears off the screen.
Yes, I used PwnMyMoto

Yah, thought you're using pwnmymoto, I believe if you reboot it wipes r/w privledges? Can you do it through penmymoto. Sorry I'm frigging getting a headache. I just found out that some major dinaro, mula, cash that's owed to me I'm not going to see it, does anyone live near lake Mary Florida? I need you to brake some frigging legs, there's a 10‰ finders fee 400 bucks . I guess I'll have to put a lien on the property here in Toronto, just pissed

I guess it was just that particular version. This one worked fine:
