Installing apps with ADB - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Trying to install some modified apps with ADB.
When I run the "adb install Music.apk" command, it stats PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES.
So I assume thats saying it's not signed? Well the apps are from Ultralinx and have worked on other devices fine...
can someone assist me and let me know why they're not working?

Uninstall the Samsung music app first (and reboot). Music.apk has different certificate than Samsung music app. So you cannot install or install -r it.
Or just install Music Mod from the Market. It is pretty much the same as stock Android music app and can be installed along Samsung app.

Try pushing it to system/app via adb or root explorer. Does the job for me

Facebook won't uninstall

I installed facebook from the market and now it won't uninstall. I am using Cyanogen 4.2.5 and the Nabzihero 2.8 theme on a MT3G.
So, a little back story. I installed the theme a week ago. I noticed the the sterricson lock screen conflicted with SMS popup, so I decided to change back to the stock theme. I went and reflashed the rom and when I did android said that Facebook wasn't installed, but he market says it is.
I rolled back to my latest nandroid backup and the app works again, but it won't let me uninstall it. Neither through the market or the application screen in settings. I'm at a loss as to how to get the app off my phone. I'm sure there's a way through the terminal, but I don't know how.
ok, so first, sometimes the market and android conflict - now depending on your nandroid, did the rom have facebook app included? if so, this will be why you cant update/remove and why market says its there -
some roms have it included thus it is located in /system/app which will not allow you to delete it through the app manager.
plug your phone into your computer and do the following from terminal/command prompt
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/Facebook.apk
then, reboot and you will be able to install facebook from the market

This helps out a lot. It turns out that the theme I had installed did have facebook in it. That's fixed it, though. Thanks a bunch!

The only thing you have to do, is putting the .apk to /system/app.
From then on, they can't be uninstalled.
The error could occur for example because system wasn't mounted as rw.
When i only transfer the apk then the App is not seen in the drawer
Is there a other Folder where the informations are saved from the app??

That means with App Installer i can move the apps to the system?? Like the SGS Tool?
Well if you remove samsung player and install android's original you'll have only this player so that's it ...
I just use "adb install application.apk" and it works fine for me...

Samsung stock music apk

Hey all,
I'm running Axura and I prefer the touchwiz music player that came with the Captivate. I made a Titanium Backup but I can't seem to locate the particular app that is the music app. It should be possible to extract since the touchwiz Video player is in the ROM, but the music app.
Can anyone point me to a link to download the touchwiz music player app?
Thanks! Really appreciate.

TiBu doesn't backup system apps, just their data. Attaching music player to the post.
Thanks a bunch for this!
EDIT: I'm having trouble installing this. I tried sideload wonder machine but it fails with INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT. Any help? I tried using terminal to copy it into /system/app and running the command "busybox chmod u+rwx MusicPlayer.apk" to manually set permissions for user, group, and others, except it still doesn't appear in my applications menu.

Use a file manager IE: Astro or Root explorer or really any other that is available. Move to system/app.
I really tw music player on my captivate. can it be installed on a htc aria?

Nope, it depends on TouchWiz frameworks that aren't a part of the Aria's ROM.
You could try the MiUi player.
Make sure you have android sdk before you do this and adb abilities enabled. Just open up a command prompt then put in this command cd c:/android ask or whatever u named or where u put your ask then after/tools then you should put in adb install and put the location of where you put the apk like so"c:/users/account name/wherever you put the rom for a video tutorial go to youtube and type in how to sideload adb should be the first one if not search for the video made MobieTechVideos

[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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
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).

Google Play Music won't install

I can't get google play music to install. At first I was getting an error that the previous package was not signed. Please uninstall previous version. But I could never find it in my apps to uninstall. I manually deleted music.apk from system/app folder. Now I get an error that says the application is already installed but I can't find it anywhere. How can I manually remove this app without have to wipe my Xoom?

You uninstalled the basic music app. Not qoogle play music.
If you don't use the basic android music app, I'd just leave it out. With a file explorer like Root Explorer, go to data/app and find the Google music app. That is the one you need to remove. Delete the apk file and then go to Google play and install Google music. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the response. I went there, but I don't have a apk for music or google play music
Any other thoughts?

So I have google play music on my phone also, and I cannot find an apk for that either in data/app. Could there be another location for the file?
Do you have a tibu for your tablet?
I cannot think of any other location
Are you running ICS?
If so you might have Google music disabled.
You can find it in all apps in settings on the bottom of the list.
If that's not the case, verify that it is deleted from system/app and data/app. The file name is com.google.android.music-1.apk

I know this thread is over 3 months old, but I ran into this same issue on my Galaxy Nexus after updating the custom rom I am running. To fix it I downloaded the Google Play Music app from here, renamed it to com.google.android.music-1.apk, then used my file manager app (File Expert) to copy it from my Download folder to the /data/app directory. After changing the permissions on the APK to match the others in the same directory, I rebooted my phone to a working Play Music application. Hopefully this helps someone who also experiences this problem.
