Guys I have been trying to download apk files on my phone whether it is direct on phone or by pc it will not take. I have unknown sources checked. I am lost on this one.
Any help would be great!

How about trying a different browser?
clean Rom/xda powerd by zero-lemon & tweaked out!!
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

I was wondering if anyone else was having issues flashing krylon's deodexed version of SW.
- I checked and have root and when I run CWM it says v3.0.2.8.
- It says Installation aborted.
I did chang out my FOTA files to free up space.
I'm having the same issue, I've installed everything correctly: beta 3, copied over recovery. Get into cwm fine with no issues. But everytime I flash this rom it says installation aborted.

Pixelbrain provided the answer in the development forums:
You have to unzip the file, open the folder, select all files, and zip everything in that folder.
The problem is that everything is inside that folder, which is then zipped.
The files need to be zipped directly, not inside a folder.
Thanks man times like these are when I wish my windows machine still works. Not trying to be a noob or anything. How can you zip a file on osx, unrarx doesn't provide that ability. At least not that I know of.

Are you doing this on Froyo or GB? This only works on Froyo. Maybe try re-downloading the recovery & zip file to insure you didn't get bad downloads.
I'm on froyo and I downloaded from my phones browser if that makes a difference, and thanks for the help boss

It shouldn't make a difference how you downloaded the zip as long as you followed the instructions on the thread. Make sure you don't try to extract the zip file. try re-downloading them & try again.
are you changing the permissions of the directory from read only (R/O) to read/write (R/W) in root explorer before you try pasting the files?
Yup I used root explorer to push the files and it prompted me to switch to r/w when I tried to push the recovery. I'll try the process from the beginning and report back

Does anyone know where to find or have the apk for the AOSP keyboard? I'm currently unrooted and can't stand the GB keyboard.

Thanks for the link. After attempting to get fileshare to cooperate it dawned on me that it was a zip file. I am unrooted, therefore no CWM. can i still install a zip file without CWM on the phone or just unzip on a pc and copy the apk over?

Flash CWM and boot into it. When you are done flashing reboot and the stock software well automatically delete CWM.

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.
Here is a new link for those interested. Its a regular apk

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
So I recently rooted my phone and decided to flash a .zip to add a wifi toggle to the notifications menu. It was only after I flashed it that I realized that the .zip was for ICS, and I am running OTA Jelly Bean. My phone isn't bricked, but when I turn it on I receive a message stating that "systemui.apk has stopped responding", which makes it impossible to do almost anything on the phone. I found the Jelly Bean systemui.apk, but I have no way of getting it onto my phone or SD card (my computer recognizes my phone as a CD, and I can't find the setting to make it recognized as a media device). My question to you is, is there any way to get the .zip onto my phone without having to buy a card reader for my computer?
Dropbox?

My suggestions: reinstall Samsung drivers, use adb, restore a nandroid, or flash ROM in Odin.

I managed to get the .apk file onto my phone, but I am unable to install it. I have enabled the installation of apps from outside the play store so I am confused as to why I can't install it. Does anyone know how I can install it?
Have you put it in the correct folder? If so, have you changed the permissions of the file to that of the rest of the files in the folder?

I put in in the /system/apps folder, and changed the permissions to match the other files. Still no luck installing. What are my options at this point?
I solved the problem by simply restarting my phone, the systemui.apk is not an app you can manually install!
