I had SamsungApps-2.7.032-for-CyanogenMod10_signed.zip. Is there one for CM11?
SamsungApps.apk did not install.

[Q] Google Earth Reinstallation Errors on CM 10.2

Dear Forum Members - This is my first post in XDA and so my apologies if I missed any protocols. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 International Version. Just like many of you, I got fed up with Touchwiz and flashed CM 10.2 using Cyanogenmod Instaaller. While the performance exceeded my expectations by a huge margin, I am facing one small problem with installation of Google Earth. Since Google Earth is not available in my country through Play Store yet, I usually download the apk and install it. I did the same after moving to CM 10.2 amd installed the old app from my backup, but realised there is an updated version of Google Earth V 7.1.3 available and downloaded the same from a popular tech site. The problem is after I uninstalled the old app, I am unable to install either the new version or the old version. I keep getting the Out of Space: Titanium Backup could not be installed error even though there is lot of space still available. When I faced similar trouble with Titanium Backup Pro earlier, I found online that by deleting /system/app for file Titanium....odex. file and it worked flawlessly. However, I cant find any such file for Google Earth. Can someone please help solve this issue? Thanks in advance

Cyanogenmod 10.2 flashed through installer

[Completed] Can't open my camera in Cyanogenmod 11 Kitkat 4.4 installed Galaxy Y(GT-S5360)

I've seen all the threads in XDA developers forum, visited at least 10 different sites, watched 50 videos(at least), tried all the apps and flashed all the ROMs(which would support my device) and yet my camera app doesn't open properly.
The Stock camera app says "Can't Connect to the Camera", Cyanogen Camera 2.0.0.4 fails to start, other third-party camera apps fail too.
I've tried flashing camera patch ROMs and my phone says an error and aborts the installation.
I've tried almost everything. I think the ROMs I'm trying to flash don't actually support my Galaxy Y, even when they say.
So, does anyone know anything else to do? I really need the camera, pretty badly if you ask :/
Note that:
I used,
1) CWM Recovery 6.xxxx something
2) Bangprovn Kernel
3) cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-totoro.zip
4) Gapps 4.4 Ultra Stripped Masuele 02-02-14 .zip
another note: I think my GAPPS had some issues because it didn't have the Stock camera app in the appdrawer(but it was accessible via Gallery), the gallery app didn't work and I had to install Cyanogen Gallery and things like that.
I'm somewhat a newbie in Modding, so I use youtube, and the modding was successful, whereas the camera fix wasn't.
Thanks in advance

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
This post may help (if it's more than advice for CM7)...
you need to use percys kernel and percys latest rc build
whitexp builds will have bugs that have been fixed in percys builds

The lack of camera in the app drawer means that the ROM was compiled without the proper support. Been there, done that. No wonder why gallery didn't act properly either.
I cannot find the CM11 you reference, but if you go back to stock and still cannot access camera, then you have a hardware issue.
Any other questions you have can go here:

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Alarm clock application cm13

Recently I update my Rom from Cm 12.1 to cm 13 (snapshot 16.03.2016), and then I noticed the clock app has changed, in cm 12.1 you can use random songs from my storage for your alarm (v 3.0.3) , and after I update the Rom I don't have the option (maybe the app from 12.1 was edited by cm).
I didn't find any apk link in the Internet so I tried "apk extractor" app and installed the clock on cm13, but it didn't work.
I tried a lot of apps from the store and everyone of them was disappointing.
Can someone know a way that I can use this version on cm13?
I also have this problem on nexus 5. I tried deleting the clocks data but it didn't change anything (I saw that solution on another forum from a user on a nightly cm13 build).
I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one.. Can someone please help us to find solution??

Can't Install WhatsApp on custom rom

Dear Forum members,
I have lineae 15.1 on my Samsung S2 GT-19100 Running Oreo 8.1.0.
WhatsApp stopped supporting my version and said I needed ot upgrade. I couldn't upgrade. Just nothing happened when I tried to update.
I couldn't download via the phone so I downloaded a good .apk file and installed it via my desktop computer.
After I installed WhatsApp the app said my phone date and time was wrong so I recalibrated the date and time but it still said phone date and time is wrong.
So it was stuck on that notification page... Phone date and time is wrong.
Then it said WhatsApp does not support custom Roms. Is there any way to get WhatsApp to work on my custom rom? I've tried all I know and I can't get it working.
Thanks Community
Tim

Looking at Whatsapp's FAQ it seems like Whatsapp doesn't support custom roms and/or rooted devices. And if I understood your question right, you are currently running Lineage OS. So I would think your best hope would be finding an mod that supports rooted/custom rom devices or modding the app yourself.
If my answer helped you please upvote it to show your appreciation,
Jamie
Did you download that apk from the WhatsApp official website? Is it the latest version, v2.21.23.17 or later?
The common prompt 'the date is wrong' means that the version you are using is too old.
The version I installed is 2.18.92...
Tim
Your question got answered by WhatsApp themselves:
About rooted phones and custom ROMs | WhatsApp Help Center
faq.whatsapp.com
Try using the latest WhatsApp apk from apkmirror. I think it has more to do with the version you have installed. WhatsApp tends to disable the old APKs.
Also, although they say they don't support custom roms, it's just a pop-up that says you may face issues because you are on a custom rom which you can just click 'ok' and move forward.

Get the lastest apk of v2.21.23.25 from the WhatsApp official website or update it through Google Play Store at first.
I loaded the latest version and it restored all my conversations and content. What a refreshing simple answer ! So easy..
I was assuming all sorts of mismatches but it worked a treat. Usually I avoid the lates versions because of matching issues.
Thanks for the guidance, I should have spotted that myself.. ! Enjoy your day.

Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 upgrade

Good evening,
I restarted my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 after a long time. However, it is now slow and I can no longer install recent apps. I like the apps I like to use are Onedrive, Word, Outlook.. Which software should I upgrade the tablet to, so that I can use Onedrive, Word apps?
I have read up a bit but otherwise I am a layman.. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Androd 6 is the best option. But reccently there is an android 8 rom developed for tab 2. I myself haven't tried it but you can have a look at the thread here.
These are some best roms:
Resurrection remix : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQICBAC&usg=AOvVaw1PxtYepshuVJGhwILyAok1
This is the best as per my experience. Its Android 6 and also fast. It is fastest without gapps and I'll recommend don't install them since Microsft apps work without play services.
Lineage os 13 : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjABegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw0ngVERkcUHwdW6OdL7FTx8
This is another great one and works well. Again, with gapps it's slow (and mostly all roms are). Its an Android 6 rom.
Slimrom 4.4 : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw1pIY6ZrmjDiXzCAxuW-p9R
To be honest, this rom would have been the first in my list but it isn't because it's kitkat (android 4.4.4) and that means less apps support. It is faster than android 6 roms and also stable.
Last suggestion : don't go for android 7 roms. Without gapps they are as slow as android 6 roms with gapps.
If we install without gapps whats the best way to get apps like Facebook and youtube if we don't have playstore?
Idk if facebook needs gapps or not, but normal youtube will not work without them, there's things like microg and vanced.
Use aurora store to get apps from google play store without gapps.
Simple and easy all you need is fdroid store and you'll find all apps you need there including youtube apps like newpipe, libretube, etc..
Start exploring life without gapps, it's less stressful for your device and your life
can you have the stoke rom of samsung galxy tab 2 10.1 like icechream sandwhich

Good night
I know this forum is old and this topic will be somewhat forgotten, but after some hard work and tinkering that I have put into these teams, I decided to share my experiences and recommendations for their devices.
To begin with, in recent times all computers with versions prior to 6.0 and all those related to Marshmallow are becoming obsolete, adding versions such as Dhollmen, RRemix or Cyanogenmod 13, which although remarkably stable, many programs have already lost their compatibility, but very soon i found a solution for these problems.
Inquiring in the Microg forums there is talk of a native Spofing support for Omniroms, and with this in mind I decided to try the latest version of Nougat to see what result can be achieved, and since then I continue using this system that has given me so far good results.
for all devices (P31XX and P51XX) I use Anykernel created by Android-Andi: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-unified-anykernel.3484739/page-11#post-79313152
Link of the Omniroms build forums (choose your corresponding model):
Downloads for : Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 | AndroidFileHost.com | Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
And for great performance use Nanodroid Microg:
Nanolx.org Downloads Archive
I flash this and at boot up active from "microg settings" all the boxes are empty.
So far for those who read it, leave your comments, finally I only have a problem that is when trying to put full screen on YouTube, which until now I have not found a solution but I can live with it.
