System App Update - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
i'm using an AOKP ROM and i have a problem, but i had this problem also with many other (cyanogenmod, miui ...) ROMs...
I installed an update for an system app (playstore)... no problems... if i reboot the app is still updated, but if i shutdown the phone an turn on, the app is "downgraded" to old version!
I used Link2SD: integrate update in rom... this works and android update the system after reboot, but the problem persists
a wipe after convert app to system does not help -.-
now i have the followig questions:
1: how to fix this (without wipe the system)
2: how to modify an ROM.zip to integrate some updates?
thanks in advance

Try this..
1. download latest playstore (v 4.3.11) on your pc
2. transfer it into your phone
3. rename the file to Vending.apk
4. go to system/app and delete the old playstore file
5. now place the dowloaded file in system/app and set permissions rw-r--r--
6. reboot.
now it wont be downgraded..:good:

Try flashing Milaq's flashable update: https://github.com/downloads/milaq/android/Market 3.0.26 for CM6.1.2.zip
The APK is floating about somewhere too
I'll try flashing when I'm at my computer.. And the apk, everytime I try to install it keeps saying error parsing the package
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
go to settings - applications - manage applications - force stop market and clear everything.
use rootexplorer - go to system/app
mount R/W
rename vending.apk to vending.apk.bk
now either flash update.zip or just copy new vending.apk in app folder
if it's not working.
1. reboot
2. if it's still not working try to clean cache and davik from OR
===
3. and if it still not working now either. you have the old vending to go to
if you don't backup you may end up spending more time trying to fix what you broke

Unfortunately, Popup Browser has stopped

Hi everyone, my N7000 upgraded to official 4.1.2 by Kies, after that i rooted the phone and i used an app to delete some system apps in order to reduce battery drain.
after deleting some sys app the popup browser just not wroking... i think i delete the package by mistake... does anyone knows how to fix it?
ths a lot for help...
You can flash the rom again using PC odin.
Or
Download any rom based on LSZ and extract the popular browser apk from there and push it to the phone.
# but first you need to check of there is pop up browser apk in the phone using TB

Fix uid error or error -24 in market

I figured out the UID issue.
You must have a file browser capable of root permissions or know how to use the terminal
Go to /data/system and look for uiderrors.txt
open it and take note of all the files listed in there.
Go into /data/data/ and remove those folders.
Reinstall the apps that were in conflict and everything should be good
The same fix applies for error -24 from the play store when installing apps. The only difference is that the uiderrors.txt will not have the offending files listed. You will need to know the application package name i.e. com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

I believe it is being caused by HTC backup restoring app data. You should be able to remove the folder with root explorer as that's what I used.

You can easily remove that folder when ur using TWRP recovery. In advanced menu is a file explorer. After deleting the folder you can install e.g. quadrant again via playstore

App is not installed after moving .apk to system/app!

Hi there.
I would be very grateful if someone will help me solve my problem.
Well, after moving .apk to system/app (This time it was Google Wallet, but earlier I had the same with other apps) and data/app (tried both), it doesn't appear in the app drawer. What is more, It's not seen by Titanum Backup, nor the adb sees it as the installed package (adb shell, pm list packages) - no app on the list).
As I said, it works with every app - nothing appears after moving .apk to system directory manually.
Okay, wiping Dalvik-Cache and fixing the permissions may solve the problem, but I am afraid it may enable THIS screen appear on EVERY reboot (correct me if I am wrong).
Do you know any other solution? Or wiping dalvik-cache and fixing the permissions from recovery is the only proper one?
P.S. Can wiping dalvik-cache and fixing the permissions cause some problems, like it will delete the records in games or will have to configure the settings again?
use es File Explorer as you need to set the permissions, es automatically sets them correctly

Well, what I forgot to add, I of course set the permissions (644 as all system apps)... Is in that case only solution wiping dalvik-cache?
Will wiping dalvik cache delete my games records

I would suggest to wipe dalvik and the regular cache.
Any game data won't be touched (those aren't cache files correct me if I'm wrong)
If the problem persists tell us what rom etc. you're on and maybe do a full reinstall with backing up data before.

Are you using an apk from the stock rom on another rom? I'm asking this because I wanted LG Weather on CM 10.1 and I put it in system/app, rebooted and it didn't appear anywhere. The thing is that the stock rom is not deodexed and CM is. I had to use a tool to deodex the app and then put it in place, fix permissions and reboot.

You shouldn't need to wipe the dalvik cache, simply rebooting will appear that screen only for the apps that you manually put in system/app.

I'm on the Stock ROM. So I should odex this file to use it? Could you tell me which tool should I use?

1. you dont move the apk. you copy it in system/app.
2. the game data is in data not in cache.
3. you dont need to wipe dalvic. a new app installed just creates a new file in dalvic

Well I fix thew permissions in file manager. I don't know how to make the apps install this way,
Even if you copy it to /system/app/ and set permissions, it won't be installed for sure. You'd better check logs to know what's happening.

Maybe install as user? Though System install should work the way you describe.

Maybe if you put in system/app/ and system/priv-app/, set correct permission for apk and for folder, reboot, and don't wipe dalvik cache as dalvik is not used in lollipop. In fact, wiping cache wouldn't even be necessary for the apps to install correctly.

Hi i Check permissions its correct
You can't. You need to re-sign it with the platform certificate for target firmware. Contact your custom ROM developer for platform key, but they're reserve the right to keep it private for security reasons.
Edit: Nevermind, I see you're using stock firmware still. Make a.request for flushable Zip from them, maybe they broke it with some hack.
