recently rooted and running cyanogen 4.1.999, prior to that I ran each release from 4.04 on. at least from 4.11 on, i've noticed something strange happening to my system that I can't quite figure out the cause. Off a fresh install, package installer works for loading .apks from the card. Somewhere along the way though, it stops working; I'll try to install an app and it will keep looping, bringing me back repeatedly to the install screen where it shows permissions and asks to install or not.
I've checked and unchecked 3rd party install permission, no change. I also tried fix permissions and that doesn't help, Only a wipe gets it working again until the next time it fails. Installing an app from the market works just fine, just can't install independently unless I sneak the apk into my system backup folder and restore via system app backupper, but that is a limited option since the program then becomes uninstallable. No other issues i've noticed on these roms, just the installer. Anyone experience similar or have some input on the matter?
you should try and repair ext filesystems in recovery if you have apps2sd. please report back if it works
nope
ext filesystem repair does not fix the installer loop
this only happens on cyan 4.1 and greater?
is it with a specific app? also did you flash the single flash rom or did you install by cyanogens official install method
recently i tried to instal some apk files using astro or es, the file open up as normal until when i try to click on the instal button, it didn't react but the cancel button does, i had quite a number of apk files saved in my sdscard which worked previously but now none of them works. i looked into application setting for the box to checked to allow installation from unknown source checked but still the same. just upgraded to 2.3.5, hope this not the reason.
I'm not sure why they won't install but let me say this: about 3/4 of the apks available on the Pirate Bay are malicious.
Anything else weird going on with the phone?
Can you successfully uninstall an application?
i find wierd too, btw, those apks are not pirated, some are download from this forum which i had kept very long for future when i change phone like circular battery, simi folders when they are posted here long time ago which not yet out in the market at that time. of course now i dont need them anymore but just for testing purposes. i tried uninstal these few and instal back using the apk thru esfile and astro but no veil, help needed, tks...
i suspect that the system had disable the instal button whereas the cancel still works, dont what had cause it
Hi everyone,
My home button and the "swipe from the top" has disappeared since my last restart. I really have no idea what's happened and now I am using the apps called "Button Savior" to return the home screen.Maybe thid was because I have deleted some system files from system/data/data/com.android. providers.settings. I have restarted several times and it didn't work for my device.Now its really inconvenient to use the Kindle Fire HD. My current software version is 7.1.13. Could you guys help me to solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance.
maybe pull the rom in the development section and see if you can get the deleted files from it?
the only time my framework dissapeared was when i was trying to install the play store. i got it back by renaming a couple google framework apk's in the system folder and restarting...
Hi adiliyo,
How can I pull the Rom in the development section? As I have deleted many system files, I think I am in a much bigger trouble than yours.

if you can't get the individual files, maybe reflashing that rom will fix your problems
This happened to me, and some other folks. Look for a thread asking about how to view/run settings.
Anyway, some fixes mentioned were to turn off notifications for Gmail - hard to do if you can't get to settings, though.
What worked for me was to try and side-load an application - copy an APK file to the 'downloads' folder on your KFHD via a connected computer using the windows file explorer, or ADB - and then install the APK. In my case by clicking on it using a file manager. The KFHD told me that I would have to enable foreign application installs to finish the install of the side-loaded APK, and took me to that portion of settings that dealt with that. In that section was the 'Reset to Factory Defaults' button.
I pressed the reset button, and got everything back. Earlier applications (google play store) that I hadn't un-installed in an attempt to fix the problem were still there. Super User was intact. I downloaded & installed everything again, and all is working as it should be.
Until Amazon comes clean with this walking ad-server, details on how to modify it without introducing issues are going to be sketchy . It's just our lot in life, if you'll pardon. I appreciate having super user access, and all the Google apps I love to use, but what's really required is the ability to modify the boot loader. Until that's available, it's going to be try until it fails, and then scramble to recover.
Nice HW, but limited by Amazon's vision of the customers.

It works!!!! all the missing parts have come back. the Go launcher EX has saved in Cloud.
solution
download an app called my android, open the app go to my apps and find the settings app then go to device and then go to factory reset. its the only way I found to access settings when drop down didn't work. after resetting to factory my buttons all came back after doing the tooltip for startup
What worked for me on my AF tablet was to uninstall all 4 Google APK files, then uninstall the Launcher Hijack. The tablet swipe down and home button both came back for me. I then re-installed the Google APKs, but didn't re-install Launcher Hijack. Tablet works fine, functions are normal, just have to put up with seeing the default Amazon screen first before tapping the Nova Launcher icon to get to my custom screen, a minor inconvenience, and I didn't have to do a factory reset.
Here's the situation. :/ I have a Rooted Kindle Fire 2 (not HD) and am having been attempting to REadd the Google Play Store. I've already done it, but a recent(ish) update completly removed it from my device. I know how to do and I already have the required files. However, I've ran into a slight issue and didn't happen the first time. You see... the "GoogleServicesFramework.apk" file simply won't install presents me with the ever annoying "Application Not Installed" error. I REPEAT, my device is already rooted and I use ES File Manager. It's set-up for root and I know my way around the folders. I've disabled the ads, uninstalled a few system apps, and changed my default homescreen. As far as my problem is concerned, I've tried various things.
-Just installing it... FAIL
-Moving to system apps and installing... FAIL
-Moving, rebooting, and installing... FAIL
-Moving, rebooting, setting permissions, and installing... FAIL
-Moving, setting permissions, rebooting, and installing... FAIL
-Moving to system apps and not installing... FAIL
-Moving to system apps, setting permission, and not installing... FAIL
Nope, nada, nein.... nothing has worked. I've checked and its not running in the background with ANY method. I've tried adding the store and linking my Google account (that already my "Kindle%20Fire" on it) anyways and that, of course, has failed,Currently, I have none of the core google files installed or present other then the Download folder. I have tried files from various sources and they all seem to have to the same problem. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Have you installed superuser? Eliminated some the issues you described when I had them
Sent from my KF-HD7
Sound lame but I used the tool from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
It has the option to add the framework and all the other stuff too as well as launchers. It sure saved me a long time after I wiped. 20 minutes and I was good to go.
Hey guys! Thanks for replying, but this is no longer an issue. I did a factory reset a couple days ago and now everything works perfectly! ...all my other (unmentioned) issues were fixed as well.
Hello all,
For good or bad I purchased the gear 1 without fully investigating compatibility with J5, never occurred to me that a 2015 phone running 5.1.1 one of the latest android OS and having 1.5gb ram would be?
Anyway so, how to go around it, cracked version of the gear manager? Unlocking the device ? Going back to android ? Which is best?
Thanks in advance.
PS. What about that crazy hit and hold combination on YouTube ?

1. I went into the gear manager stub file, and then the Lollipop folder located in that folder. Downloaded, installed in /system/app and corrected the permissions.
2. Downloaded Samsung Gear Manager 2.2.15022599, and installed all of the extracted APKS. goproviders and saproviders will crash when installed.
3. I then restarted my phone, and wiped both the cache and dalvik cache. I then proceeded to open gear manager. (Make sure to do this with your data and WiFi connections turned OFF)
4. I opened Gear Manager and attempted to sync my gear 2 with the phone, and HostManager kept crashing. Hitting the home button, I went into the app manager and uninstalled HostManager. I then installed the HostManager from the 2.2.14100299 version of Gear Manager using ES File Explorer.
5. I quickly turned off the Bluetooth connection on my HTC, and then turned it back on. The watch said connection failed, then attempted to sync again, and managed to successfully sync, taking me to the terms and conditions page.
6. The media controller fix I discovered on accident while trying to get E-mails working. Saproviders kept crashing when trying to go to the option, so I uninstalled SAproviders and installed version 2.0.87. Can't remember what version of Gear Manager it came from. This caused the media controller to start working with no problems. E-mails manage to get to the next screen, then crashes when attempting to setup an account.
So basically I followed the method I quoted, using the poster's dropbox link to the correct files. I hope that helps.
credits to @ycats , works with my gear 1 aswell even thou hes got gear 2
download the files from this link but the version mentioned above n the same procedure

Hey thanks,
Ok this are great instructions that will follow just one question.
Since my phone is a Galaxy J5 and is already running touchwiz rom, so I was able to actually load gear manager from the Galaxy store.
But says phone incompatible, is there any specific step that bypasses this security?
Thanks

Ok tried it this way and whichever gear manager I load it comes bask asking to update to latest version with no workaround and latest version just prompts that my device is incompatible ? Any ideas ?
Ok managed to connect and everything works only problem is that saproviders crash and I get no notifications, not even SMS.
Although the most anoying thing is the system trying to update the app to its incompatible latest version.
Ok got it to work 90% of the functions . With limited hustle on 5.1.1 J5.
Nevertheless I am really disgusted with Samsung and it's policy, it's almost like they hate the J5 regardless of its success . They only wanna sell A and S class devices even if they lose money which they do. Really bad marketing.

Well it was after all a lot simpler than I thought could be. Routed the J5 changed build prop to S5 uninstalled all old and voila. Everything works based on the latest Samsung gear manager, it auto downloaded all apps and calendar, call log, e-mail, everything works.
Even changed back to the normal J5 and still all is fine.
So bravo to Samsung for not officially supporting on of the most hot in sales device, that otherwise is fully compatible. FYI my device is the J500FN running official 5.1.1 touchwiz rom.
Anyone else with a J5 (should also work on J7) that needs help let me know.
