I'm trying to install app on the gear, namely Nova Launcher. I move the file over to the gear, navigate to it with Root explorer.....I then get an error that Security settings are set for Unknown Sources.....I click settings on the watch, and then it hangs...
I have the option to install unknown sources checked on gear manager.
What am I missing here.

If you have ROM toolbox installed on your gear go to app manager and use option called +apk installer that might help.

This is because the Gear uses Android Settings but ripped all of the important stuff, such as developer tools, out of it. Currently, the only way is to sideload

If you copy the .apk file into the /system/app folder and reboot, the app will be installed automatically. I've done it for a few apps so far.
You can also go into your Gear Manager app, go to Settings and check the "Unknown Sources" checkbox under the Security option. (Which is way easier).

You need to be running v1.4+ of gear manager (check link in my sig to download)
Doesn't make any difference for me though

I don't have it installed but I was able to find it on the market using my GTAB.

I'm on VEGAn Beta 5.1
I have full market capability, Ok.. Maybe its more like 98.9% capabilities.. *lol*
Check this video on getting full market, it really worked for me with this ROM.

Edit: I just installed "NYTimes for Android Phones" and it works fine with the GTAB.
I'll try that later, it tells me there's no connection.
P.s. I hate your tab for having it work lol

You might be interested in checking out Readers Hub and Zinio with it. The combination will let you subscribe to hundreds of newspapers and almost a hundred magazines. It works great on my gTab running VEGAn beta 5.1.

Pardon the newbie, but how do I install this? I tried renaming to an API, but while that brings up the normal install screen with permissions, it then won't install.

Do not rename it. Copy the zip to your gTab (I use my Download directory) and then launch it by selecting it and it will install. You must have set your gTab to allow for installation of "unknown sources" in your Settings --> Application --> Unknown Sources.
If you're going to be doing a lot of sideloading I would highly recommend you sign up for a free Dropbox account which will allow you to move files back and forth from any device that you install Dropbox on.

So, I already had that in settings, but when I go to "select it", ES File Manager does not give me an option to install. If I "double click" it simply navigates into the ZIP file. Obviously some simple step I'm overlooking?
I flashed it in cwm.

You could use clockworkmod to flash it as djunio has written.

Same problem as renaming to an APK. It starts to install, then quits with no message other than "Application not Installed". I'm wondering if it is checking for something that is (or isn't) present on my G-tab.
I'm running Vegan 5.1 with the ClemSyn kernel if that would make a difference.
I would download it again then flash the zip in cwm. Maybe it got corrupt somehow.

Some apps just won't install. Tried multiple sources, releases etc. Rooted, not rooted. Always the same message: "application not installed"
My only guess is permission conflicts may be blocking complete installation?
Anyone found a work around for this?

What apps are you trying to install?
I've found a few that wouldn't install & it was because of missing .jar files & libs that the Kindle doesn't ship with, after finding out what an app needed I added them required files & it installed OK but many still have compatibility issues & just stop working, mainly those that rely on Google Maps & location services, not much can be done I don't think.
I would like to install voxer on here but it doesn't let me. Would you know how to?

Have you tried manually placing the .apk in the /system/app/ folder and changing the permissions?

I had this problem a few days ago. When I'm choosing to install an App from an APK-File, the Installer opens, asks me if I'm ok with the rights for the app. Then there are the two Buttons "Cancel" and "Install". But I just can't press "Install". It's not greyed out.
Last time, I just deleted data from the Installer and rebooted. This fixed it at least for one installation, because I didn't install any other app. Actually it was the Amazon Market Place.
Does anybody have the same Problem? I'm a little confused, because it had worked. But, when I tried to solve the problem as described above, it just didn't work again..
I also didn't find an issue which looked similar to this. Even updating the Firmware didn't help..
Any suggestion?
Settings/security/ check unknown sources
If that doesn't work then the apk file is not signed

I downloaded the Amazon Market-Place App (I hope thats sigend?). Unknown source is checked. How can I verify if it'S signed or not?
What app is that? Is it in the play store? Upload it see if I can install it.

Wow! Thanks mate! Same problems there..But now I need to find out, which app causes the problem.. Could it be one from the app-Store or are those checked by google?

Idk what device you guys are using but I have a note 4 and it would not show in the app store. I changed my build.prop to a Note 3 rebooted and voila I was able to download from the store install and it works now even after changing the build prop back after it installed. Hope this helps.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Can u explain what exactly u changed in the build.prop ? 1 line or more?
And don't u have to be rooted to edit the file?

Yes you have to be rooted. I use root explorer. Navigate to system/build.prob use the text editor and change it.

I can't find any downloaded file from the facebook app. I click on it, it downloads it, it shows in the notifications and I can only open it from there. Once the notification is gone I can't open that file again. It won't show up in the downloads directory or facebook's directories. Can't find it even using the search option from files manager. It only happens with the files that I need to download to view. If I save a picture I have no problem. Storage permission is on for facebook. It's like it downoads it but doesn't save it.
