Manually installing Market app

I have a branded Galaxy S with no Android market. I've found 3 different Vending.apks, version 1.665, 1.668, 1.713. I tried to install them using adb install. 1.7133 returns "unexpected exception". Other two install successfully but they both crash when click Install an app. When I go back to app page it says Starting download and gets stuck there (Market app is not frozen). Am I missing a step for manually installing market? Do I have to do anything like adb push Vending.apk /system/app/?

Have you tried flashing a gapps.apk?

have you tried using appbrain and their corrosponding apps like their installer?

AFAIK appbrain uses default market app to download. I don't have any market app that's the problem..

I don't know what gapps.apk is. Could you elaborate please?
Do you mean Vending.apk from the gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip of the Cyanogenmod 5?
Btw I'm using:
pad: jvjh1
phone: jxjg2
csc: trcjh2

Did the same vending.apk installation on a HTC legend "Middle East Version" which also came with no Market and no sucess, i do have the same problem..."crashing at installation"
and about gapps, it's not an apk but rather a flashable content that require rooted device and since i don't wanna root this phone i really didn't figure it out so far. so i'm still waiting for a solution.

Ok. The gapps.apk I know of you can find on rom manager. I think you can DL rom manager straight from their website and install using something like astro file manager. Cyanogen can't release a rom with the Google apps for copyright reasons so they offer it as a seperate download. I'm assuming you can find it on the cyanogenmod site. Otherwise try flashing a stock image through rom manager if they have one for the galaxy x. How did it not come with a market?
Hi. I posted a reply for your idea for my problem but got no reply from you, I guess the thread got lost beneath all the other threads. Could you please give me any ideas about this:

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!

Have you put this in system/app folder and change permission?
Simply installation won't work

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?!

Miraculously started working of its own accord - nice when it happens this way round as opposed to things that were working suddenlynot doing so...
Thanks again for help/advice.

Hello, I like stock News and Weather widget from android 4.0.x on my SGNote, but in stock android 4.1.2 this widget is not. Is possible to download this widget as apk and to install? I have no root acces. So I can only install it as usual application. Thx for any help.

[Android-4.2][Google-Apps] Flashable zip for all Gapps from Android 4.2 !

** I didn't make this ***
Just thought of posting here.
Credits to OMG!Droid for Uploading and Making the Flashable Zip.
All Google Apps from Android 4.2.
DOWNLOAD LINK
Video-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=00xUH86sJV0
Instructions:
Note: This APK should work on Android 4.0+. You do need to be rooted.
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
Important: Once Google updates Gmail in the Play Store, you will want to revert this process or at the very least delete the Gmail 4.2 APK you installed here if you want to update it from the Play Store.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer. There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 apk.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Remount /system for writing (via your favorite root-aware file explorer).
5. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
6. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 5 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
7. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
8. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 8, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

[Q] HTC Hub Error !

Hello,
I'm currently running Paki ROM on my Explorer and my problem is that whenever I download a widget from the HTC Hub it completely downloads but then it does not install, giving the error " Unable to install ! ".
This is not the case in JaggyRom V4.1 as I managed to download all the widgets that I wanted.
Moreover, I had copied all the widgets that I had downloaded from HTC Hub in my SD-CARD (When I was using JaggyRom V4.1). But when I try to normally install them I got the error "App not installed", and when I pushed the apps to System/app I still got the same error, even restarting did not help. I even tried flashing the widgets, but still they didn't work.
Please help me as I really need these widgets and apps :
1. Weather (4x4).
2.People (4x4) - The one which shows the contact pictures.
3.Peep - To get twitter in my Friend Stream.
Please get me these apps if possible or at least help me fix the issue.
Thanks in Advance !

Hey, I do have installed your "old" Radio and works just fine ! Thanks a lot !
The ZIP that has FmRxApp2.2deu-ger-only.apk in it.
I do use PACMAN ROM v21.0 JB 4.2.2.
Now about this "new" Radio app. I wanted to try it, because I already love the design of it.
a.) Tried to just install it (version 2 actually started without freezing at once), still having your "old" radio installed.
It starts, asks for headset und superuser rights. No sound and while searching for radio stations the app freezes, giving me the message "Radio stopped working".
b.) I could not uninstall "old" Radio the "old fashioned way", as trebuchet-launcher stopped working then, so I had to to delete FmRxApp2.2deu-ger-only.apk from system/app. (are there any other remnants btw. ?)
Deleting FmRxApp2.2deu-ger-only.apk 1st resulted into a "Failed"...but then got deleted.
c.) Flashing ZIP via CWM also ends up in a Error (Status 6) - Installation aborted
d.) Copying the 2 apk files of the "new" Radio into system/app (after deleting old one) Installs the app (android updates message) but the Radio FC's on start (version2)
