Vending.apk ?
I have the vending.apk in the app folder, but once booted android it is not in the menu with the other applications, same thing happens for example with the terminal.apk...

Make sure you're using Market for 2.x.
You can also verify this by using Astro and attempt to install /system/app/Vending.apk.
The problem was that i had not installed gtalk service and some other dependencies, now the market is installed but whe i try to start it it closes immediately, logcat gives auth errors, maybe i have to setup a google account in the setupwizard first... Thank you.

[Q] "no application can be found to open this file"

When I try to download an .apk file from the browser, it tells me "no application can be found to open this file". This happened after I installed the new marketplace. did i do something wrong??
I use 'Root Explorer' app to open files if needed. Maybe more info about yer phoon

oh. ha, sorry. Im running CM 6.1. I use clockworkmod recovery. it was doing fine until i installed the new marketplace.
If you're downloading from a site, like getjar.com or something, make sure you have "Install from Unknown Sources" allowed. I use Astro file manager to install them afterwards. You might want to try that one.
I've tried a bunch, and found the one I chose seems to do so much
But no matter, if you haven't already go through your command prompt and type su to gibe super user access to do its thong

Quick question, did you install the .apk after you downloaded it?
No, it didn't let me. But I can still see and use the new marketplace. It's just when I try to install an .apk from the browser. It says the whole "no application can be found to open this file." But when i go through Astro, it lets me install the apps there. It's like the package installer isn't being recognized or something in the browser...
And now it tries to open the apk with Gameboid. :/

Turn "allow installation of non-market applications" on, then try it again. It's in your settings menu under application settings. Let me know how it goes
I tried it, still nothing. :/

What are you using to try to install the apk?

Don't install things from the browser then. Its not the new market that's causing the problem. What browser are you using?
Dolphin HD. I've tried that one, opera, and some the stock one and still nothing. But ya, it'll still let me get them from Astro. Thanx though. =]]

Just download ES File explorer and install from there. Browser is definitely not the best route for installing .apk's.

[Q] Missing Dialer 2.2.2 (phone.apk i think?)

Hi
I accidently removed dialer 2.2.2 from the device using Titanium Backup, and i need to restore it in order for my phone calls to work.
I tried downloading some froyo Phone.apk but i cant install. It stops fast and syas "Application not installed" when i click it.
I put it in /system/app/ using adb. I didnt work either to install it through adb. It said cannot find file.
I need a original copy of Phone.apk and maybe some explanation of how to install it as it were before i removed it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960374 has a complete dump of 2X global version. You can find the dialer in there.
There are several threads about the joys of reinstalling system apps (usually ppl killed the launcher) among them are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992945
EDIT: next time freez in stead of uninstalling... frozen apps will be restored by a simple factory reset. uninstalled won't.
Thx I am downloading and hoping it will work with the original Phone.apk

it should work.
I downloaded the package and pushed the Phone.lnk to the /system/app/ directory. After that i went to a file browser on the phone and tried to execute the Phone.apk file.
It came with the same message. Do i need to install through adb or hard reset?

You don't need to install apk when putting in /system/app.
Copy apk to sd, download and install rootexplorer copy apk forom sd with rootexplorer go to system/app push button “mount R/W“ paste apk and reboot the phone. Done
Well isnt that the same as using adb.
I have the Phone.apk from the optimus 2x dump in the /system/app/ folder now, but i doesnt fix the problem. It doesnt seem to get installed when rebooting.
How can i see if its installed. I checked Titanium Backup, which still shows the Dialer 2.2.2 grey with strike-through (Data backed up, with no possiblity of restore).
How do i force it to "reinstall" upon reboot.
I tried restoring a widget that i removed, and that worked, so maybe the phone.apk is installed after i pushed it to /system/app, but something else is wrong.
What could be the problem? Missing data or something, which i need to restore somehow?
Isn't there a way to reflash the device with original rom?
Any ideas?
I downloaded the Global System.zip from this forum. I successfully went to the android recovery menu on the phone. I can choose to update the phone using System.zip on sdcard.
Is that the way to go?
have solved the problem?
Is possible to edit the phone.apk? the stock "incall" app is simple orrrrrrible
i too am missing my dialer app. whenever i touched the phone icon it would crash and go to home screen i thought if i uninstalled it and reinstalled it with titanium pro it would fix it. but it now wolnt let me reinstall. ive been searching the forum and trying different ways to fix the issue but nothing is working so far ... how can i get this is work?
Phone.apk
Did you guys figure this out? I installed

[REQ] new Google News and Weather app (GenieWidget.APK)

Hi guys, Im trying to get the Google News and Weather app (GenieWidget.APK) from Nexus S, or other newer version, running. I have an older version that does not auto update, so it kinda sucks.
The new version is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13473045
Ive tried dropping both the APK and/or ODEX file via file manager, also rebooting, but the files are not there afterwards. Im rooted and using FileExpert app, which is granted superuser Im told via toast message.
Also tried direct install of the APK, but again no go --> 'Application not installed' error.
Im running the Mosiac III ROM.
Searches have not helped so Id appreciate some help!
You might wan't to try Root Explorer from the market. Its what I used to install the genie widget. It is pretty easy to use. All you have to do is copy it into your system/app folder and there you have it.

but do i need to delete the old one? Is necessary to change the permissions of the new apk? If yes how?
If the installation is failing you are going to need to adb push the application to your system/app/ folder and then it should work... I am also looking for the new geniewidget.apk (sorry for bumping an old thread).

[Q] Installing SamsungApps.apk problem

Hi guys,
I am on RocketRom v22 with Abyss 3.7.
Today I wanted to launch SamsungApps for the first time. I agreed on the License Agreement and was forced to update Samsung Apps and so I did. But after the download was finished the app was just closed. If I try to start it again, it closes again.
What I already tried:
Clear Data in Settings > apps. --> doesnt work
Then, I uninstalled Samsung Apps with Tit.Backup and tried to install Samsungapps.apk provided by many sites, including XDA.
During installation I get the error "Application was not installed".
I hope you can help me.

Copy it to /system/app and reboot if you haven't already done that.

It should have been auto pulled by system. Check in app drawer. If not try restoring from Titanium Backup it will auto show in there.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE :-D
where did you get the latest apk from?
can't seem to find it... >_<
Hi Guys...
Sorry to sound dumb, but I am new to the android scene blah blah... Just flashed CM10 (4.1.1 JellyBean) on to my GT-N7000, as you probably guessed, Samsung Apps isn't there.
I have read above but cannot seem to copy the SamsungApps.apk into my system/apps folder... It says SamsungApps.apk cannot be moved (using ES File Explorer)
Any help? Thanks.
EDIT...
Please ignore me... I had to change some settings in ES to allow root access. Thanks.
Double EDIT...
It's still not working for me though... Any help would be great.

I copied it into system/app and after reboot it is still in that folder but it does not show as installed and when try and install just get "app not installed" anyone got the anwser??????
