u have to drop it in your system apps folder and then reboot your phone. Use Root Explore or I think ES file explorer does it to with root enabled
if u need the apk again, here it is:

I don't think that this .apk works with rooted HTC One because my One with CyanogenMod 10 -m7 Nightly can't run the apk. It says that TV has stopped. Solutions?

I'm sure the issue here is that CM hasn't been able to implement the IR sensor yet, but I could be wrong.

Ah that would probably be it. They haven't even made the LTE network default so that might show they still have work to do on the Nightly.

HTC One IR blaster TV control
Hello HTC One friends.I created an application to control TV, HiFi,A/C or other devices with IR blaster.
I published to Google Play Market.
I want to communicate with people to test my application.Thanks.

Hey is that the stock tv app?
reason i'm asking is cuz for some reason my brand new out of the box one didn't come with the tv app :S...yeah i know weird...can't seem to find an answer as to y it didn't come with it.(did a factory reset also but that didnt help)
so my question is can i just download this apk to my phone and install it to get the tv app that was suppose to be on the phone in the first place?
i'm not rooted still stock running android 4.1.2(yeah still waiting on 4.2.2) and the MID of my phone is PN07110

No u have to download it and place it in system/apps folder then reboot your phone

Thanks for the info.
but this means i'm gonna have to root my phone to get access to that folder...is there any other way u may know how without having to root it?
can i just put the apk file on my phone and enable installation of "apps from unknown sources"...then using astro file manager open the app which would allow installation of the file?like described on this site on how to install apk files to my phone without google play:
https://jiffy.zendesk.com/entries/2...l-APK-files-to-my-Android-without-Google-Play
was hoping not to root my phone until after i get the OTA 4.2.2 update and even then still wait a while cuz i'm quite happy with stock sense 5.0 for now.
if rooting is the only way guess i'll just live without it not really missing it but still would have liked to have it.
thanks for the info

No because this is a system app, not a regular app. U must have root. And my question is, why don't u just root? I've been on 4.2.2 for a long time now because I have root. I'm s off now and gonna upgrade my firmware right away as well. Waiting for ota updates takes way to long and u miss out on the goodies
I strongly recommend getting the all-in-one toolkit by hasoon and flashing the venom rom to get the most positive experience outta your phone

Hi
Was able to put the app on the /system/app folder but app keeps crashing.
Just in case, I converted an AT&T HTC One to a Google Play Edition using the rooted 4.3 RUU

you need root the write to /system folder and an insecure kernel like elementalx or bulletproof

Ive had my phone rooted since the first day I got it and i have elemental x. What next? It doesn't ask for root when I open the app. Is there some way to make it ask?

This hangouts app is terrible compared to gTalk. Is there any way I can install it on 4.3 without having to get root?

Google Talk from 4.2.2 can not be installed any more
First thing that I tried after updating my Nexus to JB 4.3 was to remove Hangouts and install back Google Talk from JB 4.2.2 but with no success. Application can not be installed any more. If anyone find solution for reverting back to Google Talk on JB 4.3 please let us to know. Hangouts are really terrible

Same issue. Any way to get google talk on 4.3?
I'm in the same boat. Don't wanna root the device, but don't want to stick with this ugly Hangouts either.
Anyone got a link to working Talk.apk for 4.3?
I uninstalled Hangouts.apk using Root Explorer (EStrongs), then I copied Talk.apk to /system/app
Set the permission to rw-r--r--
Reboot
It works, I got Talk notification ...
But, the Talk app is not shown in the app gallery
UPDATE:
Wiped Dalvik cache and Cache, doesn't help
Did all of that here too. Same results. It seems that Google is actively disallowing Talk.apk somehow.

Talk working
Guys im on stock 4.3 and rooted.
I was also playing around to get talk back... and i got it running "version 4.1.2-485486" even video call and sound is working just tested it.
what i did was download de gapps "gapps-jb-20121011-signed" deleted everything inside i dont want so just system\app and the lib files are in there.
Flashed it with twrp and it worked.
Got the zip here you can flash it but make a backup just in case.
Code:
http://speedy.sh/bcNdM/gapps-jb-20121011-signed-Talk-working.zip
And with titanium backup you can detach talk from the market so you wont get the update notification for hangouts.
please more details for newbies dear sir

Could you please provide more details what my steps should be to "flash it with twrp"? After I root my nexus 4 (which is well documented, I just looked up) and downloaded twrp & your gapps version. Thanks a lot in advance.

Yep, that worked for me however i got the latest version of gapps for 4.2.2 instead of 4.1.2, slightly updated version of gtalk...dont know what the difference was.
Before i flashed gapps though i uninstalled hangouts with titanium...don't know if that was neccessary...also can't detach talk from the market without the paid version of titanium...maybe i should get that, i still have credit left from when i got my nexus 7 last year

If you've installed twrp, when the tablet is on put the zip file on the sd card, reboot into recovery (twrp), select install, navigate to the sdcard folder and select the gapps zip file. it should install.
i also go to advanced and fix permissions after, don't know if it's needed or not.
I also used titanium to uninstall hangouts first, again i dont know if i needed to do this.

[SOLVED] HTC write system protection?

Edit: Lockscreen.apk and odex deleted with TWRP file manager (mount system before). V4a issue still there, even installing apk through TWRP as flashable zip.
Hi, I was trying to install viper4android on my device. The application is installed successfully, but I can't install drivers. After reboot the app asks me again to install drivers. I also tried to get stock android lockscreen deleting HTC lockscreen.apk. Successfully deleted, but present again after reboot. Should I need s-off to do that? With other models I did this without s-off. Indeed with soft reset, I get the Android stock lockscreen, but with a complete reboot I get the sense one again. Any idea or I just have to wait for a way to s-off?

You need TWRP recovery
Take backup (you'll never know what can happen)
Boot into recovery > mount > pick system
go back to the main menu, advanced > file manager
You'll find HtcLockScreen.apk and HtcLockScreen.odex in system/priv-app
I deleted them and voilà! No more sense 6 Locksreen, stock android.

There was somewhere in the official thread in the faq a question like "i can't install it anyway? Then try with the flashable zip", it's the same zip that I posted.. Sorry, I'll give you the right link as soon as I find it... but as you solved it anyway,how did you do it?
After I repaired my phone, I never would like to use this app.
And then installed v4a? As normal app?
No, after this repair I was happy that my phone works again. Until there is no official ROM that I can flash or where I can extract the original files, I do not make any change on my phone again!
Confirmed - it's a problem caused by HTC's system write protection. Liberty Kernel solved the issue with viper4android.
But you need a new kernel. With the Android rSAP App you can create a flashable driver ZIP, I think this is the better way to install drivers for an App. They also create a uninstall ZIP.

I couldnt find drivers for v4a, i reflashed stock kernel after installing drivers, the problem was indeed system write, no incompatiblity or stuff like that the app is now installed and finally fully working!
I am happy with the write protection, because you never know, what the "driver installation" changed on your system. In a zip I can take a look about the modification and for example with the rSAP app I KNOW, that I can deinstall all modifications. But I dont know anything about Viper4Android. So I have to look for another DSP manager ...

[Q] Android Backup App... missing?

Recently updated to 4.4.2, and when I came to do my periodic backup, I noticed that the app I used to use... the one that came with the OS, is gone. I have done backups to my SD card, and to dropbox. Surely they could not have just done away with this very useful app.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Would anyone know where I could find the old backup apk?
Thanks

Thanks for the info. Tried some store apps. But they either need root, or the need a PC, or they don't recognize the SD card. I guess I'll just have to wait for towelroot to catch up to 4.4, if ever. I'm an optimist.

With a little patience..... sbdags said he will be porting the Asus Backup app to 4.4.2 and include it on his upcoming CROMi-X 7 release. Once he has done that you can just extract the apk from his rom zip and install it.
I had the bright idea to try kansasboy001's Asus apps. He ported the JB 4.3 Asus apps from the TF701 to Crombi-KK for the TF700. But that doesn't work. I just tried to install the extracted apk and it failed. Probably because the CM framework is different....
Yeah, for backups apps, file sync and file managers the new restrictive permissions regarding external card use for user installed apps really suck!
One more reason to unlock and root

There is only one custom rom out at the moment.. Also.. If you look on the play store there is an app or 2 that installs into the app drawer in the watch that gives you the option of booting into recovery... Bootloader.... Or a regular reboot

Yes but you need root to use the reboot to recovery and bootloader app and at this point we only have temp root. Unless you install the Ron that is out.

I was able to use that app with zero issues on my Gear live, and it worked every time. It may be a temp root (which I didnt realize) , but it still worked regardless via the TWRP method Adam suggested

The only thing is, Adam mentioned using command line WITHIN twrp to remove the superuser after I rooted it. Since the watch doesnt have a keyboard, the only way I was able to accomplish this was to use the twrp built in file explorer, and delete the superuser.apk manually. The app still worked after that as well so I believe I still kept root after removing it
Awesome
Anyone having issues running this tool in Ubuntu? Can't seem to get the tool to launch.
Worked fine for me on windows 8.1. It did freeze when I installed TWRP the first time, I rebooted and then was able to install TWRP with no problem. Thank you!!

Galaxy S6 Edge and Gear VR not working

Hi, maybe someone in here can help me. I just received a Gear vr and I can not get it to work. I am on a custom rom on the sprint network. Here is what happens:
I plug it in and it says to unplug it to install the software. It installs some software and I go to install let's say 'Oculus 360 photos' and at the end a message pops up saying 'unable to install oculus 360 photos'. I pull down the status bar and click on the failure and it says I have to update the software. I update it and it looks like I'd downloads something but never actually updates. That's where I am. Nothing installs, nothing works. Pretty frustrating...

I had the same problem. Went back to stock and it works great. Maybe today I'll root my phone and stay on stock to see if it's a kernel issue. If I do I'll update you.
You probably do not have the required Facebook apps on your ROM. You need at least com.facebook.system and com.facebook.appmanager.

I do have both of those on my phone. It's probably being rooted or the custom ROM.

Yes, please let me know. I think it has to do with the custom ROM or being rooted.

No problem with being rooted. Custom ROM 100% the case. You need a stock-based TW kernel and therefore stock TW rom with the VR update built-in

Thanks for the update. I think that's my problem. I don't think there is a rooted stock based kernel on Sprint.

It's not the kernel. Finally just installed the newest v9 kernel and rooted my phone. I suggest maybe starting with stock, install the vr software and run once then root. Soon I'll install the newest renegade full rom and see what that does.
It's not the rom either. I may be telling you to do more than you have to but maybe just go to stock, get vr apps then root and clean install full rom. Everything is great for me.
Hey, Did you guys solved it?? I have the same problem
I have a G928P, and I had rooted for unlocking it. Because of this problem, I unrooted the phone... Now I get the ****ing free hand activation message (at least it kept unlocked), but the problem is still there... Any idea???

I solved it. (More or less...)
Edit the file is downloading in the folder "Download" of your cell phone BEFORE it finish. For a reason that I DON´T understand, the software delete this file once it is completed, instead to install it. When you edit the name in the meantime is downloading, you impide it. Then, rename it back to .apk (if not it will keep as ".apk_downloading so you can´t install it), and install it manually.
It finally works.
Does anyone knows how could I impide the file gets deleted? I don´t mind if I have to install it manually, as long as I can. So far, when the app is not very big, I have to be VERY fast in the editing..., or I will not be able to do it.
Im curious, oculus vr worked flawlessly, unil i installed "package disabler pro" and removed "bloat".
I have read that facebook apps are required (rediculous... F*+-ing facebook bulls&*#@.)
Bit is anyone aware of what "bloat is required for functionality?

Hello,
I had the same kind of issue on my note 4: update & install of the essential apps were always failing (photos 360, videos, videos 360).
I managed to update by renaming the downloaded file before it got deleted, but I had to do the same operation for all apps then install them manually before I could access the Oculus store.
I wonder why installs fail like that. I rooted the phone with cf-auto-root to be able to use my PS3 controller wirelessly. Maybe it is becuse the kernel is slightly modified for root?
EDIT: Also it seems I will need to use the same method for all installation I do from the oculus store! I really want to fix this. I'll probably try unrooting...
Rooted, it will not work

If the phone is rooted, it will not work. No matter how you install the apps, it will never open oculus.
I had to unroot, and it worked again (installing apps manually, as I explained before). Once rooted again, I even tried to substitute the kernel for the original one. That allowed me to enter in Oculus, but the VR never worked. I had to unroot again.
Does anyone know how to impide it delete the apk file automatically? At least that would help.
Finally got into the process and sign into oculus app
Hi guys,
I finally succeeded in getting the download process working:
- log the samsung app output with logcat via adb
- click on install button of the Gear Vr configuration wizzard
- catch the called urls on logcat and copy/paste them on your browser to download the APKs
( for me : prePost_20160128024220687.apk
prePost_20160128024344077.apk
prePost_20160330073402086.apk
prePost_20160330073501789.apk
prePost_20160330073641987.apk
prePost_20160330073735750.apk)
- install them in the order the urls were called ( adb install -r prePost_20160128024344077.apk )
- on the device, stop the download using the cross
- click the install button again
The download should now be successful.
on Galaxy S6

Package Disabler Pro locks out all the needed VR apps. I uninstalled it and the VR works great!
