[Q] Bluetooth - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
When I use Bluetooth to transfer music files and pictures from PC to my nexus5, they go well and everything is fine,, But when I transfer any apk file, it doesn't move to my phone, it says file transfer failed. So I plug via usb and have to do a copy-paste process in order to move the apk.
Is there any option or setting to make this happen?
My previous Galaxy S3 was okay with this apk transfer.

Note: this problem exists when I was stock, so I rooted and installing DroidKang rom, and the same problem happened.
Any suggestions?

hi friends,
my nexus 5 also can't receive APK file, i am using KANGAKAT 3.0.
Any suggestions?

hi friends,
any advice?

2.0 Music

Can somone upload the standard android 2.0 music.apk file? The one that comes with the damage control rom is the HTC music app, which is just slow and annoying to use. I would much prefer the standard android music 2.0 or 2.1 apk file if anyone could upload it.
Thanks
Got this from DarchVanilla
thanks a bunch. I'm just curious, how did you manage to get the music file out of his installer? Did you like open it via rar or or something?

No problem. I just opened the update zip with winrar and went to the system/app folder and pulled it out.

grab the rom you want the sound from, open it up and pull out the files you want (they are in system/media/audio/...) and put them in /sdcard/media/audio/... (use the same folders obviously)
Does this need to be done by loading each rom, or is there any way to extract them from my PC and put in SD folder and move to system wih astro? I cant seem to figure it out
Can someon please explain the steps in extracting the audio files, for some reason I cannot get them from my nandroid backup, and I've tried un zipping a rom, and could not find them their either. Sorry for the noob question, thanks in advance

What do you mean open it up? As in loading the rom to the phone or looking at system files?

I tried downloading this, unzipping it to a certain folder (with windows and WinRAR), I open the new folder (2010-06-27.17.58.31), then there are 7 .IMG files in them. I get the same thing when I though it would be as easy as opening up a nandroid backup and getting the files from there.
Can someone fill me in on what step im missing? Thanks!
Anyone know this answer?
What you need is a full system dump. The link you were given is to a nandroid backup. Try this one:

What file manager are you using? Try ES File explorer from the Market.
P.S. : Are you using a file manager at all?? Or are you looking for the transferred apks in the app drawer? Trust me, i know a dude who was doing exactly that!!!

You can side load .apk s from the HTC desktop software . when you connect cancel sync and on the main window it has an application installer button just browse to the apk on your pc and click the button

You're right mate, but there is no reason he shouldn't be able to see apk files transferred to the sd card.
I believe that is a more fundamental thing that should be taken care of, rather than looking for a workaround to install apps. Don't you agree?

Of course mate ,just offering an alternative
And before his phone will let him he's gotta go Menu, Settings, Applications, and tick the Unknown Sources box.

See?
I had a hunch you weren't...
It's a very common mistake made by first time smartphone users. So don't worry about it. And BTW, read the post above about allowing non-market apk installs, without which you won't be able to install these apps from sd card.
Happy app-ing!!

[Q] Is it ok to delete apk files after installation? Please read further.

Hi. I just found out that apk files are kept in the device after installation of the app.
I just recently downloaded a file explorer app and I found out that the apk files of the free games which I downloaded and installed from android market are kept in this folder:
/mnt/asec (I'm using Samsung Galaxy Ace)
There are individual folders for each game, and in each folder are a lib folder and the apk file. For example:
Fruit Ninja folder (which is found in mnt/asec folder) contains a lib folder and an apk file.
Fruit Slice folder (which is also found in mnt/asec folder) contains a lib folder and an apk file.
My question is, is it ok to delete these apk files? Will the games still work?
Also, can I send these apk files to someone else via bluetooth so they may download the apps without having to visit android market?
yeah you can delete the apk file after installing any app for it to still function, I do it all the time. Yes you can send the apk file to your friend so they can install it. If you're still cautious, try doing a trial run with one apk file...send it to your friend first, then delete, see if it works.
The .apk files are like setup files for windows. Once installed, you don't need the apk, especially if you are backing up with Titanium or similar backup program.
follow up question
Hi. Thanks guys.
Is everything from the android market ".apk"? Is it possible that some have a different extension? I downloaded a dictionary app, I can't be sure but I think it's a .zip file.
Thank you.

I tried to delete the apk file. It cannot be deleted.
However, I copied it to my sd card, uninstalled the app, re-installed it using the one already in my sdcard, and it installed just fine.
I still want to be able to delete the apk file that is in the system though (/mnt/asec).
Any ideas or do I just have to deal with it?

I agree with deleting it won't be a problem but sending to a friend?
sometimes I think there would be a message stating that its not sign
correctly.. correct me if I'm wrong Thank You
WillShaka, like I said, I tried to delete it. I can't. Not allowed.
I don't know why. I'm using ES File explorer
not sure if this works but have you tried unmounting the sd and delete?

Also, and I don't mean to veer out of topic (this question is often ignored in Q&A forum), if I use Odin to upgrade my stock firmware instead of using Kies, will it erase all my data? I have a feeling it will...

Yes, you can delete the APK after installation. But the APKs in /system/app/ need to stay where they are to function appropriately

I have attached two RAR files of Note II firmware. First take backup if anything goes wrong.
Also take backup of allshare.jar and allshare.odex file inside framework folder of your rom.
than download system_app.rar and Framework_file.rar, extract it. and move system_app in \system\app folder with correct permissions and framework_file in system\framework folder with correct permissions (overwrite your exiting file (dont forgot to backup)).
Restart the device and check
Have you checked
