no need to mount....just use root manager and delete the apk and odex if it is present....cannot remember if it is......should be gone...I have removed it numerous times already...belive me it works...

ok thanks man, I'll give it another try...cant figure out for the life of me why this isnt working....I know that i'm surely missing something so simple.
on another note, flyers huh?.....kidding they had a hell of run last year. being from pittsbugh i love the penguins. hopefully we can win another one

i have no idea!!!
tried exactly what you said and its still there - went into titanium looked at properties of app - said only this: libasphault5.co
looked for it in corresponding folder and no luck.....I may have missed a step or uninstalled it incorrectly? still working on it

wow pretty stupid on my part - over complicating as usual.....all fixed - thanks again!

[Q] APK manager help

Hey i am trying to use apk manager 4.9 but it says adb cannot be found. Im thinking this is because its been moved from tools to platform-tools. Is there anyway to make it look in there instead or is there a different solution?
Ive tried a lot of different ways to sign the apps but I cant get the app to install after i do it.
Thanks.

Copy the contents of platform-tools to tools.

worked up till a point
thanks that works. although once i get the app installed it closes (says it has stopped working).. have you had success modding apps? all i changed was one image slightly and saved it as the exact same name ect.

edit: im a retard. ignore this post

Gallery & other apps not able to read USB Storage

NS4G
So i was running burns' CM10 and everything was perfect. I recently flashed Jellybro and Baked. Both roms are unable to access the usb storage via certain apps. Gallery cant read anything and settings like reading the usb storage for ringtones are unable to access it, although solid explorer is able to access the usb storage just fine. I flashed back to my burns nandroid and it is still able to read usb storage. nothings wrong there, but these other roms cant. Two different ones, dont know what the deal is. Any help?

I'm having the same issue here. I did a lot of reading today and heard a lot about the whole /storage/sdcard0 thing. Maybe that's part of it? Would love to know if there's something we can do for a temporary fix or if we're just kind of stuck for now. I'm running euroskank's jellybro.

Update on my situation: everything is back to normal now. The only thing that changed for me since was ROM Manager got an update. Changelog mentioned something about .nomedia files being place in wrong places.

So you just updated ROM manager? Not your recovery?

Yah, just the market update for Rom manager. Dunno what that changed, but now my gallery is working and play music finds songs.

Alright. I'm going to try that with those two roms I was using. I normally uninstall ROM manager haha. So thank you for the update and hopeful fix.

Try unchecking Android Debugging. I can't seem to copy files unless that is unchecked.

Try and reboot the phone and the PC. Then reconnect the phone to the PC with USB debugging disabled.
If not maybe check your PC drivers.
You could also use adb to push the ROM.

It's possible that it could be the ROM but I'd think it has something more to do with your PC if it was working before.
Do you know of some update or change recently on the PC?
What error did you get when trying to push the ROM?
Let us know if it works once your back to stock.

I have few suggestions. If you are trying to copy zip file to phone, then dont do it. Put all the files you need in a folder and then copy to phone.
if it still gives error then try to copy to Downloads folder.
I had issues copying rar,zip files to phone. Due to filename length sometimes it doesnt allow you to copy.

When i had such an issue i put in the folder i copied the files to a ".nomedia" file. You can find this kind of files on your device storage, copy your files to this location. I think what happens is that the phone is trying to index the files and fail. The ".nomedia" file prevent it from indexing.

I heard somewhere that temporarily changing the filename extention to something else, e.g., ".bak", will solve the problem.

Why not just download it straight to the phone?

I really don't think i had any new updates on my laptop. The error that it gives me when i drag and drop the .zip file on the root folder of the phone was "Cannot copy item - The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected".
Well, flashed back to stock and rooted back again to the latest nightly released from " Carbon Hammerhead nightly ". Still wondering what went wrong !! i did the same procedure that i did last time .. hmmmmm. Will update when i do next update
thanks

will surely keep that in mind, next time i do the update

The phone isn't the problem, the zip file is most likely corrupted. Try downloading it again. I ran into this exact same issue last week

update
this is my fourth update now , since i went back to stock, root and running the same ROM. I am not sure what went wrong last time. Only thing i did extra that i remember is that i went to the advance to wipe and select all except for the system. other than that i follow the same procedure !!! could be corrupt zip file or may be something else .. really have no clue whats the main reason ....
Thanks for all the suggestion

When I first got my phone last week I tried to put some custom ROMs and mods on the internal storage but it wouldn't let me do it... so I copied a jpg image to the phone first and then it let copy the zip files

This happens to me almost allday because im consantly copying pulling the plug right out .When this happen go to device manager portable devices and uninstall the driver while your phones plug in, when done go notifaction panel and uncheck mtp, recheck mtp , let windows reinstall driver and your good. Now somtimes you can unplug your phone from pc than uncheck mtp/ recheck and plug phone back up and wula.

Solved!

I just tried to copy a JPG file and it worked i had the same error message while copying .zip files.
i just renamed the file to .JPG on PC then revert back to .zip on the Nexus 5.
it's actually very weird behavior , what's the point ?!

Install from phone storage, or launching install file fail

Strange problem. I can't install downloaded apk files. Either by touching the downloaded file from notification menu or from security -> install from phone storage.
I have unknown sources checked, and verify apps tried on and off.
installing from notification I get the "name of app" do you want to install this application? it will get access to ... and two options
Cancel & Install. if I press install, nothing happens. It is like the touch-screen isnt working. cancel works fine. I verified with a screen tester the touchscreen is working fine.
installing from phone storage, I select downloads -> then the apk file. But again, nothing happens. the files are somewhat gray (all of them on the list are..) not sure what they are supposed to look like, but in any case nothing happens. strangest thing I have run across in all my years of andriod.
I have a sprint samsung s5, stock rom sm-g900p E5 software. not rooted. (that WAS one thing I was trying to get to..) i haev tried several apk and they all do the same thing. I can install from google play
anyone? i am stumped.

I neglected to mention, yes I rebooted ( I am a windows 3rd level windows guy ya know!)
I am pretty sure no one will have any easy answers for this one. I dare ya! lol
