[Q] Application Not Installed "Gameboid"

Hi guys,
I tried installing "Gameboid" on my Galaxy Player 4.0 US version, but when i hit "install" after the processing was done, it said "Application Not Installed." By the way, Gameboid is not an app from Google Play. I downloaded the app from their official website. After that, I tried again downloading an ".apk" file from 4shared but again, it said the same thing.. do you guys have any idea of how to fix this??
this is only happening on this app... I downloaded many other apps from the internet and the all worked fine except for this.
Hope you guys reply!
PS. do you guys know if there is an ICS port for the Galaxy Player 4.0 yet?

do you have an older version of gameboid already installed? if so, remove it first, then try reinstalling.

have tried.

Sorry for the LATE reply and thanks for the idea. But unfortunately it didn't work. Gameboid is an app which you find off the internet, it is not in Google Play. This is what I did.
1) Installed the .apk from google on the player, not from the official website.
2) Installed the app from the official website
3) Installed the app from the official website and copied to sd and tried to run from there.
I have tried all three things and NONE of them have worked. It is not an incompatibility issue because my friend also has the app running on his Galaxy Player 4.0. And YES I do have the latest version of Gameboid

Uninstall whichever version you have on your phone right now, wipe dalvik cache, and then re-install

[Q] Gapps flashing error

Hi guys this issue has been in my wy for a while now but now ive decided to ask
. I run Aokp build 40 on my nexus s. I then install a gapps-ics2012*** file from goo.im and from a couple of other sites. Rom works beautifully as usual. But every single gapps i flashed after rom flash the install becomes successful, yet when i boot my phone the only gapps i c r google play,talk, and search. Nothing else. Please help me flash properly so ALL the gapps can show up (music, gmail, googlr plus, play books, maps etc.) Coz all i got now is google play and talk. I can dowbload them manually from play store but thats irritating n hacing a google phone is supposed to present u with pre installed gapps.
Thanks! Answer shall get thanks as usual; )

Nothing wrong here, that's how it's supposed to be. You always have to download Maps, Gmail etc via store. (They're not in the zip)
However, you can add them to the gapps-zip yourself: Download all the apps you need and then fetch the apk's from /data/app. Open the gapps-zip and there add them to /system/app. Next time you flash the zip, they'll be installed as sys-apps.
Only app this didn't work for me was Chrome, complained about something's missing. But since I don't use it anymore, I never cared to investigate.
Edit:
Should you make your own zip and there's an update of an app via store, the new apk will be placed in /data/app on your phone, overruling the one in /system. So to update the zip, get it, add it... Not exactly rocket science, right? ^^

Thanks alot!but i do think the jellybean roms will come with preinstalled gapps included in the roms?Like the GN jellybean rom ect

hi there, i got a problem where after i flashed gapps, after i reboot, an error appears saids ''unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped.''
can any please help me... sorry im still a newbie....

Do you mean when you have to touch the Android?
That can be fixed by touching the 4 corners of the screen!

yeah I think in jb all gapps are included
@bony we need more info, Rom and gapps version, things like that. Also, if the Rom wasn't properly signed, then gapps won't work.

Any app that is available in the market is not included in the zip.
That's the way it is and there is no issue.

[Q] Failed to trim [ROM][4.1.2][CM10][UNOFFICIAL]LG Optimus One Family CM10 Build 7

Hi,
I have rooted my P500 since Froyo until to Gingerbread. I also helped my friend to root and install JB 4.2 on his Kindle Fire. Now I try to install JB 4.2 in my P500 using Rashed97 build 7 custom ROM but to all failure :crying:
The error was always failed to go into Google Play, there will be an error [RH-01]. After some investigation I found out that this is due to the Google Service Framework was never successfully install and run normally.
I am using this combination:
JB 4.2 ROM - cm-10-20130108-UNOFFICIAL-p500.zip
GAPPS - gapps-jb-4.2.1-light-20130107-signed.zip
I read hundreds of post in that thread and everyone is teaching about trimming the ROM before installing the GAPPS. So I tried to trim it both manually and using the OOne Rom editor. (Moving some apps as User Apps, using trimmed version LatinMe.apk, removing fonts, media, and etc) No luck as well; Google Service Framework just don't want to run According to the internal memory, I should still have 20MB++ of free space and I also check the /system/app and googleserviceframework.apk was in there. When I go to the "Settings -> Apps -> All" to find Google Service Framework but never found, it wasn't running at all even though it is in the system/app.
I try to see if I trim it correctly, so I try JB 4.1 combination:
JB 4.1 ROM - cm-10-20121110-UNOFFICIAL-p500.zip
GAPPS - gapps-jb-4.1.2-light-20121130-signed.zip
This time I use the Bill's tool, OOne Rom Editor, to trim it and try installing it... guess what, it works! Google Service Framework manage to run... So I am confused... Is it me or something else did I missed out in trimming the JB 4.2 Rom?
Anyone manage to make it happen? Can give some guidance?
Thanks

Silly me...
I think I know what is the problem already... Build 7 is CM 10 JB 4.1.2, it is not JB 4.2
Installing GAPPS for version JB 4.2 definitely not going to work... Stupid me... :silly:
After trying to install the GAPPS for JB 4.1. It works fine now :good:

No google now option in Google Search or Launcher [Here is How to FIX IT] :)

Hi there. In case that you run into this problem of having Google Search but no Google Now here is how I fix it.
This is a problem that I have being having for quite sometimes and is back in N5. Just a little background, I have a GS4 and my Google now is working there perfectly. But only after some tweaking. When ever I installed a new rom, if I forgot to setup Google Now (running for the first time) right after installation, and the application gets an update I loose the Google now option in search setting and Google Search (aparently after version 2.6 and up), in Google Setting application. And no Google Now cards or anything just a plain search bar with the option of voice search with the microphone. Normally I will get it to work by clearing data on the Google Search application and uninstalling updates. After that, running Google Search will bring the Google Now Setup and I will finish it. After Google Now setup I can update Google Search and have Google Now working perfectly.
In my N5 since Google Search is part of the system and launcher clearing Data on the application don't help also there is no uninstall updates option. Since I rooted my N5 here is the way I fix it. Installed a additional Launcher because the N5 launcher does not work at all without Google Search application. Any launcher you want will do, if you don't do this you may be left in the dark with no home screen or application drawer so Don't Skip This Step. Get your hand in an old Google Search ApK (Velvet.Apk) preferably 2.6 version, also get your hand in the New Velvet Apk version 3.1.8. With Titanium backup uninstall Google Search 3.* that comes in your N5. Install the old version of Velvet Apk and run it. Google Now setup process should come up. finish it. You will probably get a Stop Working Application error. Now install the Velvet.apk 3.1.8 (latest). You may get 1 or 2 more Stop Working Application error from the Google Search application but Google Now should show up and running in your launcher and through the other ways to access it. Reinstall the Home.apk file
Hope this help anyone that has this problems as I use to do.

is there any way to uninstall without using titanium backup? it wont run if you use ART instead of Dalvik

Try removing or maybe better renaming (changing the .apk extension part) the Velvet Apk from the System folder using any root capable filemanager. It may works.

Actually mine was giving me a lot of problems, Google Search was foreclosing and I was not getting results. I did almost the same procedure except that I updated from the 2.6 version to the 2.8 version through Play Store. That way Google Now Works and Google Search. If I upgrade to the 3.0 version pf Google Search it star to foreclose again. If I stay in the 2.8 version everything works except the Launcher. So if the only thing that you are missing is the Ok Google you are in better shape than me. I am using Nova launcher and kept the 2.8 version. I will still experiment with few Ideas to see if I get it to work perfectly.

The beta doesnt work (FC when I want to launch the number pad or search through my contacts) but the stable version 18. Works totally fine

I just installed it from the Play store, along with Google contacts, and set them both to the default. Works fine.

Interesting. You downloaded the Google phone app from the play store? Did you flash the Google framework via TWRP? Because without that it doesn't work
Edit: Or am I missing something here?

Probably worth mentioning that I'm running Leedroid, so maybe that has something to do with it?

What i did was download the Google dialer and contacts for OP5/5T from the magisk app. After you download it get a file manager and extract the whole folder. Go to the system->priv-app and delete the OPInCallUi folder. Than rezip the whole folder and rename it so you know which is which. Go to magisk manager app->modules than click the plus sign on the bottom find your modded zip and flash. I have had this mod since Feb 28 and it has updated from playstore with no issues and works like it should.
Edit: on Leedroid rom current stable relaease.

Hi dear, did you find a way?

The link posted above version v23.0.208561757 works fine for me to get it installed you'll need to uninstall any other version of google phone you have installed
you will need to set it as default, as well as in the app info screen you'll need to give it write over and modify system settings permissions
I've been running it on Stock non rooted 8.0 on my US unlocked U11 since the version came out.
