To install an app the PlayStore wont let you install do the following (You will need at least one device compaible with the phone)
Install ESFile explorer on the Device with the working App.
Tap On App Manager then Select and HOLD the Application you want.
From the List Select Back-Up
Then Back out back to the first page, and find the Backup folder, and go into it, then into the Apps folder.
Your see the APK backed up.
Then Press and HOLD, and select SHARE.
Share the file to your DropBox
You can then grab the file on your PC and install anyway you see fit.
If you have Unknown sources ticked, you can also then open Dropbox on the Nexus 7, navigate to the folder you shared it to, and install it from there. (Simples)
You could also share the file Via Bluetooth, I have not tested to see if it will let you install the file, but I cant see why not) (Thanks for the idea Gogeta)
I installed and am now using BT Smart talk this way.
Hope this helped someone.
If you find a simpler way please post it.
If I managed to help, please say Thanks.
How about download the apk and install it..

As Per Title, This is for files that PlayStore WON'T let you install. So no way to install it. The .APK may not be available elsewhere, like BT Smart Talk.

Good thinking.
I'll give it a try.
Thanks.
If you go to /system/data/apps all installed apps go in there, as far as i know. Is this what your trying to get? That way you can skip the backup and save any space that it takes up.

Or, you could use Quixer to send it straight over to the other device, no matter the distance. I like the Bluetooth idea as well though, that would be the easiest for single, close range sharing.

You should be rooted in order to access internal memory from your phone. Or use adb to pull the apk.
There's also lucky patcher but shouldn't share it in xda.

Found Quixar, but sadly its not compatible with the Nexus 7.
Could use the old method to get it working.

Where do I find Quixer? Nothing in PlayStore, or even a Google search.

Any way to install non compatible apps help.

Download and install "Root Explorer" from the market. It defaults to the root directory. Just open up the app, find /data in the root directory, click on it, and then click /app. All your user downloaded and installed apps are there.

Many thanks for this tip which allowed me to use my daughter's Samsung phone to get BT Talk Smart onto my Samsung Galaxy S Wi-Fi 4.2. I can now use it with wi-fi as a phone.
Thanks again.

Hi all I tried searching and googling and couldn't find the answer or someone else having my problem. When I try to add a new contact I get the error "Re-enable the people application to use this feature" simple enough right? The only issue is I do not have a People app in my app settings or app drawer. Any ideas? Can anyone post the apk if possible? Really clueless as to how this happened. Phone info: rooted 4.4.2 w/ busy box and xposed framework w/ gravity box.
Thank you,

Hi,
You have deleted or disabled the contact app...?
In Settings/Apps/All see if you have Contacts or go to the disabled tab and see if the Contacts app is there, if yes re-enabled it...
If deleted, take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50542791, I posted some flashable zip file for the Contacts app.

Yes, you can, but it don't necessarily mean that you'll fix the bugs, it depends on the rom you'll install.
Rooting your device will allow you to have privilege access to your system so you can change whatever you want and run some apps. Installing a rom is like installing other OS, deppending on the rom you'll notice some differences to stock.

you can install the camera modes manually.
XtreStoLite Rom has a addon package. From that you could extract the apk.
Regarding themes there is no manually way to install fifferent themes. But the theme store store should be available to everyone.

If you wanna add a nice touch with this Music Visualizer to your Navbar, I recommend this app.
It's called :
Muviz from PlayStore.
Has over 200+ visualizers to choose from. You can also make your own. I've been using it since I bought my S8. Anything that you play in your phone the music visualizer will show up.
A little something to make your phone unique. ?
Thanks dude its a nice app.

Hey mate, the iPhone notification style is only one of many more notification styles you can have with this app.
Floatify from the PlayStore

If you want different navbar styles to change (like mine which is dots) you can also try Substratum for Galaxy S8 touchwiz.

Just as I suspected, creator of this app just confirmed that having root will in fact conflict or clash with Muviz app. Nonetheless, there are always workarounds and fixes. I'll write him again. Stay put mate ?

Hey Kristova, I'm 100% stock rom. I can't root unfortunately. But I've found apps that could possibly make my S8 look unique in someway. ? I'm actually using an app called Floatify from the PlayStore. Pretty cool app has lots of neat features and different notification styles. That's why you see my notifs rounded like that, (iOS style). You can also reply to a text message right from the lockscreen if you wish. Try it. ?
Cheers bruh.
