[Q] why can't my Bluetooth receive apk files

Can't receive apk from other cellphones? Other files are OK.. but other files are denied .. does this have anything to do with certificates?or does this have a work around

used just two times and it works for me,
but i was using appmanager utility from jrummy, and codename rom
if i didn't get wrong... used share (by bluetooth) option instead of send (via bluetooth)
maybe this can help you

Ill try that method ... I'm still at stock rom. I will post if there's any change

i tried a SE elm to send a apk file and still my nexus S rejects it, may be your stock rom has been tweaked already, maybe its embedded in the system... i dont know pls anyone help me out here ? it would be much appreciated and with my deepest gratitude

Maybe my own method can help you.
Change file's name on file explorer (ES, Root Explorer..anyway).
Bluetooth.apk to Bluetooth.jpg
Send Bluetooth.jpg via Bluetooth.
After sending progress is end, change jgp to apk and install it.
I usually use this method when my brother(Samsung Galaxy S, Korea model) gets a funny game.
Hope it works!

Well that worked but it was a bit too tasking ..thanks anyway ..

thanks, this helps as a workaround. i would like to know if there are any other way to do it directly.

I have been using other cwm but still can not receive apk files from other devices .. is there any solution other than changing the file extension will be accepted?

Problem parsing package

In trying to install the YouTube apk on my android tablet. There's a pre loaded YouTube app on it but I think its causing a problem. Every time I try to install it it says ' there was a problem parsing the package'. Can someone help?

Do you have the logcat of what the Package Manager said?

That error is usually caused when the download isn't complete, I.e. the file is not proper...
That said, if you were sideloading the app, and you believe that you have the complete file (.apk), then you can uninstall the original app, and place the new app in system/app, give appropriate permissions and reboot...
You need root acces for the abobe, and the method in general is referred to as the root explorer method...

So I need to give it root access and then try to install the apk again but in the system app section? And to add there is this app on there called "video player" it basically functions like the Google YouTube app but not as good. But sometimes when I go to see the not-yet-installed YouTube apk on my SD card it has the "video player" icon. I don't have any problem with sideloading any other apk on there so could that be the problem?

For some reason some app doesnt work for me too, so i get problem parsing package . I used to have parsing package problem with flash player on my atrix4g then after some time i installed it and it worked good im not sure if its coz they fixed anything thro updates or it just coz i made some changes into my device i still can't download google books on it but my friend who has the same device and android version can. what im trying to say is you could try older versions of the app or if you really need it you can install custom rom , btw i can't install youtube either on my atrix i still work with an old version that came with the stock .

Generic youtube app provided by manufacturer causing OFFICIAL one to never install. *simplified*

How old is the atrix? Sounds strange if you cant even install google books. Maybe that could be a problem with the phone, not just older software.

we can`t know where you putted your apks,the default folder must be downloads,connect phone at pc and search them..

If you want to send apk of installed app, maybe you've to search in /system/app but i've never tried if it works

Here's a better way:
Use an app like "App Backup & Restore" from the Playstore. It will copy the apks to a folder on your SD card. You can then use a File Explorer to send those apks via Bluetooth. :good:

Try finding it in CM file manager.
I hope you find it!

All your app's installed and linked using Link2SD are saved into your second partition you created as fake internal ram. This second partition is either EXT2 or EXT3, Linux format.

Thank all for replying :thumbup:

I find. The apk files. :thumbup:
