Error - "Application was not installed" after theming - Android Themes

Hey,
I tried to theme the app "Swift Key" by extracting and modifying the *.png image files. Afterwards, I packed the whole thing again, but as soon as I try to install the archive, it keeps returning the error "Application was not installed."
Before that error message I can at least see the modified icon in the app installer.
What can I do? :/

Did you uninstall the market version? & Did you resign the APK?

Yes, of course I uninstalled previous versions (otherwise I couldnt even start the installation of the themed one). What means "redesign the apk"? I unpacked the original one, modified the images and packed it again. I read on the internet that this would be a possibility to theme an app. So I didn't use eclipse or something like that.

Not redesign, resign. Try this.

Ow, sorry. :/
Thanks, your solution somehow helped to solve that problem and I am able to properly install the app. I can also open the settings and tutorial and the keyboard is shown properly as well (and its themed).
However, as soon as I try to touch any key, it says that the application was unexpectedly terminated. Any idea what could be wrong now?

*push*
I could not solve the problem yet. Does anyone have any idea, why modified images lead to unexpected terminations of the keyboard?

Can't install AudioManager Widget

I tried installing a modded com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk (AudioManager Widget) that had different colors. I find the default to be very ugly with any theme.
It didn't work, and now I'm not able to install the Market version of the widget. If I try to install the backed-up original apk on my sd card, I get "AudioManager could not be installed on this phone."
If I try to install from the Market, I get "Incompatible update".
What can I do to fix it?
PS: I have Navigation, which means I have the different build.prop's in place. Could that be contributing to my problem?
hey
im assuming tha you resigned the apk if not theres your problem
otherwise its the xml file in the apk these might need to be changed if you majorly change the apk
if none of them then its definatly brokey
hope i helped

I just took the apk from a thread in XDA's theme resource subforum, some thread with a lot of edited apk's.
My problem is less of the modded apk than it is my phone not installing the normal AudioManagerWidget.
its more than likely mismatched keys like jsheilds said, which is why it wont install from the market
you need to delete it first before you install it

I've uninstalled/deleted it any way I can already.
rm /system/sd/app/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk
rm /system/sd/app-private/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk
rm /system/app/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk
I've even searched with SU FBS and didn't find anything. Removed all data of it and it still won't install.

QuickGPS

Hello Every Body.
After a bad Manipulation, QuickGPS doenst want start.
she said me: "the file QuickGPS" cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Anybody can post a Cab of gpsrapid for my touch pro please?
Because all of gpsrapid i found on the internet has the same problem.
PLEASE....
Try making a new shortcut to quick gps-you may have messed up the original one. Or, check if you've over-written any rom files related to quick gps with something that has the same name but a different function.
I try to execute them directly on the windows folder but not successfuly
I install tp2x rom...
i ask to the developer so
thanks
This is the error message in english
"the file QuickGPS" cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
You get that error when you have a bad shortcut or when there are missing (or over-written) modules. If it happened right after the flash, then there's a problem with the rom.
No
after a flash, quickgps is ok.
but after the flash, i made a update of quickgps with a cab found on xda...
i restart, and i execute directly /windows/quickgps.exe
and my phone said the error message
Well, it's pretty obvious that you over-wrotr the stock modules with new ones that don't work. Remove them w/ sk tools or total commander, or just do a hard reset and start over. Why would you want a new quick gps, anyway?
i made that because i have a problem with gps since the start...

stock android or swype apk?

Does anyone know where I can find the stock android or a working swype apk? the htc keyboard is frustrating me with all its lag. I've been searching high and low for the stock keyboard with no avail, and the only swype apk I have found that didn't have a resolution problem said my trial period had ended so it wouldn't work at all.
If any of you guys could help with either of these it would really help me out.
Here is a working swype. It's got the HTC skin though. The original is somewhere in the Themes and Apps section.
http://www.2shared.com/file/LPWcxaZf/swype-hvga-156-htc_ime-en-hack.html
Thank you kind sir. This is working so much better than the htc keyboard.
If anyone has the stock apk I think it would still be nice just to have it on my phone cause I just like to have everything

Give this a try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6022515&postcount=134
yes, but you'll also need to follow this.
1. download .apk from above link
2. put it on root of your sdcard
3. download apps installer from market.
4. run apps installer, when it asks for settings to turn on unknown apps do it.
5. run apps installer again and you'll see your apk on sd card. just click on it and install.
6. go to settings->keyboard, and turn on swype.
7. open any message or anywhere you can type some thing to bring up keyboard.
8. double click and hold in text area.
9. select input method and then swype.
shew... that should do it.
Black Stock Keyboard
Attached is the Stock Keyboard (to the best of my knowledge) and the files associated with it, I extracted it but am currently unable to get my APK toolset to repackage the apk correctly.
Basically, it just needs polished and renamed in XML coding to something like "Bionix Stock Black"
I get "Application not installed"
I used an old version that expired, and now I'm getting the "Application not installed" thing, any ideas?
Maybe I should delete the remains of the expired version, but idk how.

[Q] Boot loop and phone.apk force close after flashing update.zip

Hello everyone.
I have been searching for hours and found nothing relating to my specific issue. Basically it is this, I have recently finished a theme and am ready to release it. Before doing so I wanted to test its functionality. Now pushing the apk's through android commander works perfectly, installing my themed apk's via update.zip through recovery has become a headache. After the "update" has finished and I boot the phone i run into an interesting scenario. Once I slide to unlock I get an error that com.phone.apk is fc'ing then boot loop. Same error until I pull the battery. I have no idea wtf is going on and I came here to you fine folks searching some assistance. Btwi haven't touched the phone apk. Here is what I themed:
ADW
Browser
Google quick search box
MMS
Settings
Framework
All the above are directed to system in the update script.
I also included two widgets that I made and directed those to data.
Script looks like this:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Now this is my first time doing this and from everything I have read this will do what I want, and for the most part it seems as if it has copied the right files but somehow in the process fubared other things.
Any ideas, help and solutions are greatly welcome.

Samsung Live Wallpaper App Missing after debloat.

Howdy all,
I recently rooted my note 5 and ran this debloating script which worked fantastically. However, it did remove the Samsung live wallpaper app which has left me unable to use live wallpapers.
So "no problem" I thought, went and found the .APK for Android 7 online and tried to install it. Unfortunately I get the error "The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name." error.
I've been attempting various fixes I found after googling the problem however I've yet to find anything that'll work (and is within my realm of understanding) in this instance. So what I'm hoping is one of you folks can help me fix this little annoyance without having to completely blow out my phone and edit the debloat script to not uninstall that app.
Cheers!

First off you are supposed to learn about editing the script & then flashing it after making necessary changes to the script by deleting the lines of needed apks.
Secondly for the apk package conflict, you need to manually replace the apk to its actual location with an file explorer capable to access root & restart the phone.
