Hi,
I am running the leaked 606 froyo stock ROM but I wanted the stock google email app so I wrongly decided to flash the google apps package from http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/ . However now I can't open any of the google apps and the email app is missing anyway. Could you please tell me which package either from that webpage or any other I could use to make it work again? Possibly as a flashable zip as my command knowledge is dismal. Thanks
I believe that the google apps package you installed is compiled/optimized for gingerbread so that might be why you don't get it to work. Try reflashing the rom over and all should be reset, if not you might need a data wipe before. Then you should be able to find the stock Gmail app in the market and you can uninstall/freeze the LG one.
I am trying to install the GB stock launcher on CM7 but if I install it from recovery using the package found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933517
I am getting boot loop and if I try to install the apk which is removed from within that package, I am getting "Application not installed" message. Does anybody know how to install it?
What is the best way to install the stock launcher? I know that there are some in the market but those does not appear to offer any sort of settings? (eg. change number of home screens etc.)
Install it from Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ebproductions.android.launcher
That is not the stock launcher, that is a 'modded' stock launcher. I tested it actually and it works much slower and uses more memory compared to the stock launcher. Not to mention, it is crashing... everything started working again after I removed it from my phone. (it makes you wonder, what else might be modified and why it is called 'stock launcher' when it is not).
I removed Launcher2.apk from Bugless Beast (V. GPA19) Android 2.3.7 ROM and it works much better.
Hi!
Does anybody know if it would be possible to install the 'settings.apk' from any android ROM to the Gear using a stock ROM?
I've seen some custom ROMs have already included it (like Null ROM) but I don't really need a full custom ROM for the moment, just that little piece of software... So, would it be possible to take the deodexed apk file from one of those and install it directly to the Gear?
I tried this naive idea and extracted the .apk from the Null ROM, I tried to install it using ADB but unfortunately it didn't work (I would had been so lucky :silly: ). I got this message:
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]
I hope there's some easy way to achieve this :fingers-crossed:
Thank you!
The stock gear rom is a stripped down version of the samsung TW 4.2.2 rom, which has a lot of the dependencies in the setting removed already. If you tried to install any settings.apk, it will not work as it cannot find the dependencies that is required to run.
If you want to get into a new stock rom without pairing first, there is a way to do that. You will need to install the mk7 stock rom (via odin), and then install twrp recovery (via odin), then go into twrp recovery, mount system folder, then delete the secsetupwizard.apk, reboot, then you are at the clock, and can go into settings.
So, mk7 stock ROM is the stripped down version TW 4.2.2 ROM used in our Galaxy Gear by default, right?
Following your instructions I would get the stock ROM, a custom recovery and I would skip the initial pairing with mobile configuration but I wouldn't get the full settings application.
From what I have understood, the only way to get full settings in our watch is by installing a full custom ROM, right?
Thanks for answering quickly
yup, thats my understanding.
Then I suppose I'll have to consider that
You won't regret it. I am running null_23 now. With everything installed, I am getting about 3-4 days battery life. Though I am just using it as a notification unit, no internet(I find it too slow on the watch), no phone calls, and maybe some spy pictures , but to me I think this little watch is perfect for my needs.
Good luck.
I'll give it a try.
Btw, are you using Gear Manager for the notifications? I've noticed some trouble having installed apps on stock ROM and using Gear Manager on its lastest version (apps kept disappearing from the launcher, although were still installed).
Right now I am using ATN manager for notifications. Yes The latest gear manager does sort of "uninstall" the 3rd party apps. I have read in one of the other threads here that earlier versions of GM does not do this. So you may want to download one of the earlier GM versions and give it a try.
Hello i have successfully rooted my phone, and installed android-4-4-kitkat-rom-root-for-htc-one using TWRP.
Everything is fine, the rom running like a charm, but my camera does not work.
I have successfully installed Google Apps
I've also tried to install new version of camera software, but there is a conflict, and i don't know how to remove the google apps camera.
I tried to install "A better camera" from android market, the app is installed but i received message - can't start the camera.
So the problem is in the Android, not in software i think.
Can somebody help me? I can provide specific information about version of software.
Thanks
I have an X8 which I have not used since 2014. I thought by installing an Android 4.4 custom rom that I would be able to install newer apps but I have tried numerous apks which wont install. The custom rom has an old version of play store which wont download anything, I tried updating it with a newer version but just get the message that the app is already installed. I also tried installing some apks with flashtool and for some get the message "install failed older sdk". Is the phone just too old to work with any reasonably modern app versions?
