Problem when installing an apk ! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Have been trying to install this apk (System Ui) with no success! I have tried everything and since I am new to Android and rooting I don't know what to do ! I get this message: The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name.

you have to copy it to /system/framework and set 644 permissions

App permissions give you the ability to customize and control which capabilities you give apps. You can pick and choose which permissions to grant apps at the time of use.
Note Notes:
Downloaded apps designed for Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and up only ask for permission the first time you use a feature rather than asking for permissions out of context.
Turning off certain permissions may result in basic features no longer working as intended.
Turn Permissions On or Off for Installed Apps:
From a Home screen, navigate: Apps Apps icon > Settings > Applications.
Tap the appropriate app.
If available, tap Permissions.
Tap any of the available permissions (e.g., Camera, Contacts, Location, etc.) to turn on Switch On icon or off Switch Off icon.
Note If turning off a permission, from the "If you deny this permission..." prompt, tap Cancel or Deny.

[APP][ROOT/Keyboard] Keyboard Manager - Dual keyboard: Portrait/landscape switch

Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.
It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).
As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.
The source code for the app is available at https://bitbucket.org/ne0fhyk/keyboard-manager/overview
Version 2.2:
- Bug fix: certain apps (MLB, Youtube, ...) misbehave while KM is running. This is caused by a 'transition screen', introduced in prior versions to prevent keyboard input freezes on orientation switch for older devices.
I added the option to MANUALLY DISABLE/ENABLE the 'transition screen'. Testing on Galaxy nexuses shows that affected apps stop misbehaving.
- Bug fix: fix KM's requests for root access outside of orientation switches.
Version 2.1:
Update should reduce the frequency of force closes for the swiftkey 3 keyboard.
Unfortunately, it's not possible at this point to eliminate all force closes while using swiftkey 3. The problem primarily lies with swiftkey 3, as many other keyboards (Thumb keyboard, hacker keyboard, swype,..) perform fine under Keyboard Manager.
If you think you can help, feel free to take a look at the code, and submit patches.
Version 2.0:
This version can he found on the android market by searching for Keyboard Manager.
I have open sourced the application source code to allow anyone to continue developing and improving the app.
The code can be found @ https://bitbucket.org/ne0fhyk/keyboard-manager/overview
Version 1.4:
The updated version can be found on the android market app by searching for 'Keyboard Manager'.
- Fix installation bugs issue cause by /etc/fstab read/write permissions on certain android devices.
INSTALLATION ISSUES FIX:
MOTOROLA ATRIX USERS, please follow the steps below if you cannot start the app after installing it.
If you are unable to launch the app after installation, please follow these steps:
- Look in your sdcard folder for the directory /Android/data/com.ne0fhykLabs.android.utility.kmLauncher/files/
- There should be an apk file there, Keyboardmanager.x.y.apk, where x,y stands for the version number
- Copy that file to /system/app/, and change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (Read/write for owner, read for group, and read for other)
- Reboot your device, and try running the app again.
If the problem still persists, please contact me through xda, or at [email protected]

Version 1.3:
The updated version can be found on the android market app by searching for 'Keyboard Manager'.
This update contains fixes to installation bugs, as well as better error reporting.
Version 1.2:
I uploaded an updated version of the app to the android market.
It can be found here( Mod edit: No Market links for paid apps) or on the 'android market' app by searching for 'Keyboard Manager'.
This update should fix the installation issue, and make it easier to push future updates to users.
Again feedbacks are welcome, and greatly appreciated.
Version 1.1:
Requirement:
- rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate with Cognition v2.3b8 rom)
Installation:
a- Download, and install the apk file KMLauncher.1.1.apk
b- If KMLauncher.1.1.apk failed to install on your device, download KeyboardManager.1.1.apk manually to your sdcard, and follow the instructions for v1.0
The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'
Update:
- added KeyboardManager.1.1.apk for cases where KMLauncher.1.1.apk failed to install
- added/implemented 'start on boot' option
- notification disabled by default. added option to enable it
- ease up installation method
- removed freeze on orientation switch
Bugs:
- Depending on the foreground app, there might be a slight lag in the keyboard switch.
- KMLauncher.1.1.apk has trouble installing on certain devices. If this happens, please report device information, and follow instructions for KeyboardManager.1.1.apk. I am working on a fix for KMLauncher.1.1.apk
Version 1.0:
Requirements:
- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)
- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.
To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer
The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'
Update:
- Added option to disable notification icon
-' start on boot' feature is disabled because it's not yet complete and tested... Sorry for the confusion
Bugs:
-On certain applications (i.e: Messaging on Samsung Captivate), the input window occasionally freeze on orientation switch. Exiting the app, and resuming should fix it.
Thanks!

Sweet, thanks for the update.

need option to disable notfication icon

only have two things wrong
1. notification that the app is running stays in notification bar
2. when I switch it doesn't freeze but it closes the keyboard and have to reclick to open the keyboard back up
other than that works great

The notification icon is intended to remind the user that the service is running. I will add an option to disable it.
Does it close the keyboard everytime?

wow.. these looks really promising! Will it work on any rom, or is it specific to certain types?

It is an updated version.

Ditto on getting rid of the notification icon.
For me it isn't working. When configured it, and every time I switch between orientations, I get this message
"Exception caught: java.lang.SecurityException: Using null token requires permission android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"
I thought it was a little strange, but when I installed it it said it didn't require any permissions. That didn't seem right to me...

Did you follow the instructions to install. Based on your description, it seems you install it like a regular app.

After you install restart (reboot) your phone. App is awesome dude, few glitches still on the incredible, but much better then the last version!

Good app!!
A sugestion for an extended version: choose keyboard based on the app you are usin (swipe for handcent and stock for search for example). That would turn this app into something unique!
Thanks!

Enable service on boot is grayed out for some reason and the notification persists even after unchecking the box. 2.2 droid x
BUT! This app is awesome. Been waiting for something like this. Thanks so much

It's already pretty unique. ;-)

The "enable on boot" option is grayed out on my Droid X.

Worked the first time when I tested it in search, but all subsequent attempts failed when I went into landscape. Also, the notification icon at the top is still showing even though I had it disabled. That boot option is grayed out for me too (I don't know if that's a bug). EVO

It works as far as switching from portrait to keyboard, but when I switch from Portrait (Swype) to landscape (multi) in Handcent, I cannot see what I'm typing in landscape until I rotate back to portrait. The text entry box is there and the keyboard behaves normally, but nothing shows up in the box I'm typing into until I rotate. This happens whether or not I type anything in portrait prior to rotating. I have a Droid X.
Glad to see this being developed though!

F.A.Q.
0.1 Before replacing/modifying/deleting/uninstalling anything, I strongly advise that you make a backup of the original should anything go wrong. You have been warned!
0.2 This is not a Recovery Zip, it's meant for you to get only what you need. All you need is ROOT.
1. Something is not working / It keeps telling me that I have to update Google Play Services:
This means that you haven't installed PrebuiltGmsCore.apk that's included in this package. It's a newer version of Google Play Services that's required for several of the apps to work. I highly recommend installing it before installing anything else.
2. Google Search / Google Now keeps crashing:
You must copy the following file from the included /system/lib folder to /system/lib in your device:
Code:
libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so
.
Make sure that permissions are set to 644.
You'll need a file explorer app with root features. I personally use File Explorer with the Root Addon as it makes it extra easy to move things around since it has a dual panel feature and also allows you to change permissions.
Also, for the launcher to work properly, you need at least the following installed, in this order:
Code:
Google Play Services - PrebuiltGmsCore.apk
Google Search - Velvet.apk
Google Home - GoogleHome.apk
3. Ok Google Feature doesn't seem to work:
First, make sure you've done all the above steps to ensure that everything else for the Launcher/Google now is working.
Then, from the homescreen:
Menu > Settings > Voice > Offline Speech Recognition > Update if possible or Uninstall and Re-install the English (US) file.
4. Photosphere is not working in the camera app:
You must copy the following files from the included /system/lib folder to /system/lib in your device:
Code:
libjni_filtershow_filters.so
libjni_mosaic.so
liblightcycle.so
Make sure that permissions are set to 644 on all those files.
You'll need a file explorer app with root features. I personally use File Explorer with the Root Addon as it makes it extra easy to move things around since it has a dual panel feature and also allows you to change permissions.
5.Google Hangouts force closes when video calling:
You must copy the following file from the included /system/lib folder to /system/lib in your device:
Code:
libvideochat_jni.so
Make sure that permissions are set to 644 on all that file.
You'll need a file explorer app with root features. I personally use File Explorer with the Root Addon as it makes it extra easy to move things around since it has a dual panel feature and also allows you to change permissions.
6. I cannot install Maps.apk:
You'll have to uninstall your current Maps in order to be able to install the new one. I'm not sure why it is that this is the only app that cannot be updated, but that seems to be the case. I suggest backing up the original APK first with an app such as Titanium Backup and then uninstall Maps, also using Titanium Backup. Once uninstalled, proceed to uninstall the new APK and all should be fine. You may have to restart the device after uninstalling the old Maps, though I personally didn't have to.
7. How do I make the launcher icons smaller?
In order to make them smaller you have to use Xposed Framework + Xposed App Settings to lower the DPI on the launcher.
You can get the latest Xposed Framework HERE. If you don't know what Xposed Framework is, please take a look at this post HERE.
Follow the instructions in the link above to get Xposed Framework installed. Once everything is done, open Xposed Framework go to Downloads and install App Settings.
After done installing, go back to Xposed Framework > Modules, and enable App Settings.
Reboot your Device.
Once Done rebooting, open App Settings and select Google Seach (the blue icon) Thanks to bakercj for clarifying this one.
Turn it on and change the DPI
400 DPI = 6 icons in the dock and App Drawer Grid 5x6
320 DPI = 7 icons in the dock and App Drawer Grid 6x7
Make sure to tell it to save, and then go back to the home screen. If it didn't take effect, reboot your device.
8. How do I add more home screens?
Home screens are added automatically when you try to add a widget/shortcut and slide your finger to the right of the screen while holding the new content.
9. Google Now does not show up when I swipe left on the launcher:
Press menu in the launcher's homescreen > Go to Settings > Enable Google Now.
Look at the screenshots for more guidance.
10. Google Chrome doesn't work properly:
You must copy the following file from the included /system/lib folder to /system/lib in your device:
Code:
libchromeview.so
Make sure that permissions are set to 644 on all that file.
You'll need a file explorer app with root features. I personally use File Explorer with the Root Addon as it makes it extra easy to move things around since it has a dual panel feature and also allows you to change permissions.

Not as far as I know, once you change the DPI for the Google Search it will change for everything in the entire launcher, and since the launcher itself doesn't have an option for changing it I don't think it's possible without hacking the app, which is beyond my knowledge.

You must've done something wrong. It's the first time I heard of anything like this happening.

I fixed it by reinstalling my ROM, then installing the Google Framework, then search, then Google Home. After copying the files to system/lib, I changed the permissions to 644.

I changed DPI to 420 and now its perfect, 5 icons in dock,5 icons in drawer

I could be wrong, but I thought the first time I launched the Google Camera it told me that an external storage had been found and asked if I wanted to save stuff there. I could be wrong though. You are right about Quick Office though, it only gives you option to load from Google Cloud / Internal Storage.

Direct Dial permissions

Hi all;
I used to have NS toggle, NS Shortcuts and Tuffs applications before with my old smpartphones and Android 5.1.1.
These shortcut methods also could do the direct dial with your favorite contacts. But on MAte 8 it cannot be with any of theese apps.
I let the permissions for launching telephone and making calls but ıt says can not and does not do anything. Nova launcer also can not do the direct call.
I want my favorites on notification drawer. I know shortcuts may be done on the home screen but not the same thing. I want to scroll down the notification drawer and see my favorite contacts there with 3 of theese apps. And ith just one click dial them.
What permission or what app may be problematic? Is that an EMUI issue? Why does a third party app can not have permission to call a contact directly.
Thanks.

This widget makes direct call from my launcher (Nova).
Free, no ads.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codificador.speeddial

This is from homescreen.
What i said is from notification drawer. It creates the shortcut. But when you click ıt doesnt call. At the same drawer any other shortcut is working. Like Whatsapp, gallery etc any other.

IMHO these apps can't have direct dial permission as they aren't telephony type apps, only shortcut making apps.
Android 6.0 is much more restrictive on permissions available based on the app type.

But it was not like tihs in Lolipop. That is the 6.0 ristriction i understand?

I think it's a more restrictive Marshmallow operation mode.
If an app doesn't explicitly require a particular permission, this permission will be automatically negated.
Permissions requested by an app can be negated by the user, but new ones cannot be granted.
You can see all available permissions for an app in the app setting menu (all permissions), check if direct call authorization is listed.
Edit:
I checked Tuff's permissions in Google Play store and "directly call phone numbers" is listed as available for current version 2.5 (February 24, 2016)

Hi,
I've checked again but no way. Quick dial doesnt work. Quick SMS works but interestingly.
I have attached 2 photos. When i click Home it does nothing.

Go to Launcher3 in Settings - App and grant permission to phone.

Direct dial widget that works on Nova (and other launchers)
Hi,
To circumvent this problem with the direct-call widget some people recommended Speeddial.apk (see at the beginning of this thread). The free version only lets you create dial-contacts while the pro version also allows sms-contacts. But since SMS widgets already work (they use a different app to actually direct-text) the free version is sufficient. The only problem of Speeddial is its big storage requirements and the regular nagging to obtain the pro-version.
A much better alternative IMHO that is completely free is Quickdial.apk. This is widget-app is only limited to dialer-shortcuts but it only requires 384kB instead o/t +2MB of the other app. Beware that some people might not like the look of QuickDial's widgets.

Thanks good idea!!There is a bug that even if I don't choose launcher,app desapears from it also..

Hi,
can you explain the bug better
You mean when selecting the apps?
If you don't choose launcher the app wont show in the launcher
The options are:
Disable: will only disable the application
Launcher: will Only add the app to the launcher
tap on the app Name: will disable it and add it to the launcher, also the application will be added to the list of apps to disable when press the disable button in the launcher
if you still think is a bug, can you please explain better
Thanks!

I mean,both by selecting launcher option or not,app doesn't appear on launcher.Maybe I didn't understand how app works!Also is this view normal?Can't i just set app to open normally and not like curtain like this?Also when i uncheck an app,then it's name disappears.(see *****ute)Thanks!!

Yes Sure, you can go to the app settings and set the "Launcher Height" to 10 and slide the transparency to 100
Also when i uncheck an app,then it's name disappears.

Yes, you are right, I have fixed the text, It' will take a couples of days to update in F-Droid
Or you can updated the APK from Here, If you installed from F-Droid you will need to uninstall it before install this one, as the signature are different

Sorry, my bad, I use the application as my main "launcher"
Use GMD Gestures to open the app in any view, so for me Disabler is the main launcher

feature request
Hi, it would be nice if you can toggle apps by tags instead of toggle them all.

Sure, that's nice, I will add that option in the next realease!
Thanks!

Nice thank you! I'm looking forward to see this feature. The ability to reorder tabs would be nice as well.
It also could show addotional information about the apps in the selection menu, like the path for example so you know what you disable.

Updated with new features:
Option to enable All apps in a Tag
Option to disable All apps in a Tag
Option to Move a tag to the left or right
Option to Show gray Icons for disabled apps

Was recommended this app since icebox seems like it's pulled from appstore. This looks actually amazing, and hardly much out there related for similar apps. Thank you so much! I'ma try it now.
Edit:
So I do notice some things that could be improved, but thought I'd provide feedback. Regardless, I love it.
First is a screen off, to auto disable the packages. 2nd, is when the package name is too large, it removes the ability to see the toggles. 3rd, if uninstalling, the packages disabled stay disabled, even after reboot. Fortunately, it seems to detect packages that are still disabled, if reinstalled, but it's definitely a small scare initially, I think. And if could, would like an option for icon resizing.
But just thought I'd chime in. Regardless, thank you! I love it.

Hello,
Thanks for the comments, those are great ideas, I'll try to add some of those features soon

Really cool Aceventura. Thanks for this app.
I will give you my personal feedback, but I am aware it may not be aligned with your view of the app.
Anyhow, here it goes. Your app has two main funcionalities, launcher and hibernator.
The first one, launcher, is a tough one. There are hundreds of launchers around, and truth is that users are never fully pleased. Hence why there are so many. The development of this part could be quite complex too, depending on the amount of features.
The second functionality, is where your app shines (from my point of view). I would suggest to focus the app on this part, and let the launching to whichever the user launcher is.
Basically, have different hibernating condions (e.g. timeout after usage, timeout after screen off, manual), and launch via shortcut or dummy app.
Personally I think dummy app has advantages from the usage point of view because it is easier to search with the launchers and can be placed in both areas, desktop and drawer. But I am also aware that it may be slightly more complex.
In any of the cases, thanks again

Hi rodovict,
Thanks a lot for your comments!
About the "launcher" I think is been misunderstood, My Idea es not to be a launcher app, it's just a view to show the applications list in the app
I like the ideas for auto hibernate, I hope can add those options soon along other one I'm currently developing
Thanks Again!

Firstly, thank you for your work. I have been looking to replace icebox for I dont know how long but could not find any app that was capable of doing that.
I quickly ran a test. Auto disable on screen off does not seem to be working.
I'm using OnePlus 6 and on the latest stable. Once my screen turns off, the app continues to show on my regular app launcher (nova). Also, if I see the disbaler apps launcher, the app shows there with white text indicating it has not been disabled. For the autodisable I have selected 0 in the settings.
Here is some feedback which other users may also have suggested.
-Widget/Shortcut to "defrost" all apps enable all apps in click so that we can update them (playstore updates)
-Widget/Shortcut to freeze/disable all apps so that I can disable all the apps that I had selected in the disabler app.
-Fingerprint authentication to do the above activities would be great.
- Ability to create shortcuts to individual apps within the disabler to launch them. Instead of opening the the launcher of disabler and then launching them.
-A way to backup the settings and the list of apps which are disabled would be great. this would immensely help when I flash a new rom and i need to setup the disabler app on that.

Hi,
Thanks for doing the test!
I have checked here, and sometimes when you first change the value it does not trigger the auto disable on screen off
But a couple of minutes after looks to work OK
If you still having the problem, please provide your Android Version so I can check further
I will take a look to the suggestion as well and hope to add to the app soon!

I tried changing the auto disable values multiple times and even left the chnage overnight. It still does not work.
I'm running oos 10.3.4 android version 10. OnePlus 6. I'm rooted with magisk. The app has been granted root access as well.

Hello syedtahir16,
I have tried with multiple devices running Andoird 10 and seem to be working OK
Just to clarify the process, can you confirm you are doing this:
1. Select some apps to auto disable, In the apps List option you have selected (tapping n the app name) some apps to auto disable
If you tap just in the disable checker, it will disable but will not be in the auto disable list
if you tap just in the launcher checker, it will show in the app launcher but will not disable it
You have to tap in the app name to add it to the auto disable list
2. in the App settings, set the option "minutes to auto disable apps after screen off" to something different than disabled
3. go back to the main screen and enable/open any app from the auto disable list, (some app you have selected in step 1)
4.Turn off screen or wait to turn off automatically
5. Wait the amount of minutes you selected (in step 2) with the screen off
if you turn on the screen before the amount of minutes selected(in step 2), the process is cancelled until next time screen is off
6. Turn on the screen
The app should be disabled
I am attaching and APK with some logs enables for the Screen receiver function
If you confirm you are doing the process right, please install this version of the app
Run the process as described before (you can skip step 1 if you already have some apps in auto disable list)
set the minutes in option 2 to zero (0) for this test
After running the process please take a logcat and send me the file so I can check it
For capturing the logcat you can use this app, or any other you want
SysLog (Capture log files) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.tortel.syslog
Just need to select the Main log(logcat) option, not any other log is nesessary
Capture the log just after turning on the screen ( Step 6)
