Hello.
I would like to use these two apps on my device (Nexus 4), but they are incompatible and I can't download them.
For about 3 hours I have searched for ways to download these two apks but have ultimately failed to do so.
Google provided no help, as they appear to be uploaded nowhere else on the internet, for me to download.
I have tried changing build.prop (=> no effect), I have tried downloading via the chrome extension APK Downloader (=> requires the Device ID of a Moto X, which I do not own), I have tried using Market Helper (=> outdated, only offers SGS3 and HTC One X as replacement options).
In short nothing works.
I would be very grateful if someone were to upload these two apk and give me the link.
It should be very simple to download them using a Moto X, as the only thing you have to do is simply grab them from the play store and then just extract the apks (using an app similar to Fast Uninstaller to create an .apk backup of it).
Thank you

I don't yet have an X so I can't help, but it's worth mentioning that even if someone provides the APK's they probably will not work because they're dependent upon framework changes that Motorola made for the X.
As an alternative to Motorola Connect you might consider trying "Mighty Text".

I've given up trying to get full access to the Market. But I was able to find some of the apks on my Droid and was able to bring some of them over using a usb thumb drive. However, not all the apps I had downloaded to my Droid was visible. My question is do some apps delete their apks when done installing? I did have some that gave me a parse error when trying to install them on my tablet. Is there a hidden directory where I can find all the apks of the apps I've downloaded? e.g xplane, rush hour to name a few? Thanks. Or... is there a way to download the apk from Market to my PC directly? I'd be so happy if I could just get full access to google market!

The apks are usually in your data/apps or data/apps-private. You should be able to get to these directories using RootExplorer on your phone if its rooted. Then get yourself a free Dropbox account which allows you to transfer files to any device you installed Dropbox on.
Look in these two locations. In the second one (/mnt/asec) you'll see the folder name of the app and inside that folder is the pkg.apk so you'll probably want to rename after you move it.
/data/app
and
/mnt/asec/(name of app)
Have you tried these methods yet?

Bluetooth File Transfer might help.
I put this link up a few days ago because I had the same problem.

Also, This video really worked for me with getting full market (roughly 98.9% really)

Reggie 777, thanks for asking this question. I've been trying to figure out the same thing and asked about it in another thread but didn't get a clear answer.
So, to the experts: do you have to be rooted to do this? I've looked in both of the locations that tcrews mentioned and don't see much, if anything. I'm using Astro FileManager, if that helps.
Thanks

Astro doesn't show the files in /data and you'll need to be rooted and use something like Root Explorer. I just tried Astro and once I go in to /data I see nothing (and my phone is rooted). Using Root Explorer I see all the folders under /data and go into the folder app. I see my apps installed internally there and in /mnt/asec I see my apps installed to SDcard there.

No root neccessary to use Bluetooth File Transfer method.
I can only guess you need root for the method on the video because you do need to have an OS with GAPPS and Android market installed.
Root is needed to use Root explorer methed.
The Z4root1.2.2 app is a good tool to root without unlocking the bootloader and you can still keep your stock OS. However I'm assuming GAPPS may not work correctly with the stock TAPNTAP OS so getting full Google Android market with that OS is prolly not going to happen.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I am processing and digesting the info and playing around with the suggestions.
Thanks to sjmoreno for telling me where the apps are. And also tcrews. I would never have thought of looking in /mnt/sec. I was actually able to find the apks I was looking for... xplane. et al. Now I'm fiddling with the bluetooth transfer. Got the phone and tablet paired... connection is not working yet. But I'm still trying.
Thanks too to tekrhino for the bluetooth suggestion. Got the transfer program for my Droid. I'm learning how to use it. Seems easy to set up, but won't actually send anything... Still exploring it.
The video on the Market fix doesn't work for me because no matter what I do, Market does not show up in the running apps section of settings. It doesn't even show up in system apps. It only shows up in the downloaded section.
As they said in Galaxy Quest... "Never Give Up. Never Surrender." Thanks everyone.
I use TitaniumBackup syncing with dropbox, but really the market fix isnt hard... Running tntlite larest.
+1 for dropbox. You can also use astro to backup the apk's. They are stored in a folder named backup on the root of your SD card.
I use the program AndroZIP from the Market on my phone.
Do an application backup (part of the app) to my SDCard (it creates a app_backup folder on your SDcard)
Then, you can do bluetooth transfer, or plug phone and gTablet into PC with USB cables, wait for the drives to show up, and move the APK files over. Works well. No root required.
Since my phone is not rooted, I am not sure if this is grabing every application, but it seems to be. I was able to transfer whatever I wanted over from my phone to the tablet this way.
+1 titanium backup and dropbox.
Dropbox is handy but not necessary. Titanium is a must have purchase if you enjoy flashing new roms and don't feel like manually restoring all your apps and settings every time.
If you can download titanium to your Gtab your done. Dl titanium on your phone and backup your apps. Grab the file off your phones SD And move it to your Gtab. Open titanium on your Gtab and select the apps you want to install. You can even save app data this way and continue saved games from your phone ;-)

Make sure both devices have BTFT installed, that way you won't have any any problems with FTP OBEX protocals.
The app works great and reduces the extra steps you need to take with TB and DB with having to move apk's between the source device to your pc then from your pc to the target device. BTFT is a good source device to target device app.
Hi all,
I have read a lot about this, and I've tried to do it on my own but I've encountered some problems. I hope the experts here can help me out.
Here is what I've tried so far:
1) Rooted the device (success)
2) Installed ES File Explorer via SD card
3) I found there is no vending.apk in the system/apps folder on my tablet. So I copied (I tried several versions I have downloaded or stripped from ROMS) and tried to install there.
Problem: When I click to install the vending.apk, it simply tells me that it wasn't installed. Permissions are set to rw.
Next, I tried using ADB to install the vending.apk. When I use ADB, I get either INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS or (after I delete the vending.apk from the tablet and try again) I get INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK
At this point I'm at a loss. Am I trying to use the wrong vending.apk version or something?

I have also found this post on a Chinese forum regarding the tab. I'm posting the Chinese and Google translate version (in case you can read the original).
耗费一天，研究了N个帖子终于搞定，无需刷ROM, 具体步骤如下：
1. 获取Root权限：参考链接：http://bbs.gfan.com/android-586002-1-1.html， 其中最新版的SuperOneClick程序可在此下载：http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 其中也包含了三星的驱动程序
2. 下载RE文件管理器：http://bbs.gfan.com/attachment.p ... BVis1N2k4N0VLTkE%3D
3. 下载谷歌服务包http://u.115.com/file/f5d6693df# system.rar
4. 安装服务包，将其中的ETC目录下的Host文件复制到P1010的System/etc 目录下面
5. 此时已经可以看到谷歌账号可以在系统账号里添加了，我一度发现连不上服务器，后来发现居然是系统时间和实际时间不一致导致的
6. 如果发现电子市场在下载时会自动报错和退出，多半是因为权限问题，请参考此贴解决：http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-5266029-1-1.html 请注意其中文件名和我们安装的服务包中的文件名不同，将其中的com.android.vending.apk 改成我们服务包中实际安装的 vending.apk 即可。
现在终于一片清净，可以自如的在电子市场里下载东西了！

Spend a day of N posts and finally get, no need to brush ROM, follow these steps:
1. Get Root permission: Reference Links: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-586002-1-1.html, including the latest version of SuperOneClick program can be downloaded here: http://forum.xda-developers. com / showthread.php? t = 803682 which also includes Samsung drivers
2 Download File Manager RE: http://bbs.gfan.com/attachment.p ... BVis1N2k4N0VLTkE% 3D
3 Download the Google service pack http://u.115.com/file/f5d6693df #% 20system.rar
4 install the service pack, will be one of the ETC directory of the Host file to the P1010's System / etc directory
5 At this point you can see Google account already in the system account to add, I once found Rom server, the system was actually found time and time differences between the actual result
6. If it is found in the electronic market will automatically download error and exit, mostly because of access problems, please refer to Citie address: http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-5266029-1-1.html Please note that one file name and we installed the service pack file names are different, we will be one of the com.android.vending.apk into the actual service pack can be installed vending.apk.
Now finally a clean, you can freely download the electronic market things!

The link to dowload the "Google service pack" is expired. What is this file? How do I get it, and what do I do with it?
Finally got the Market and other Google apps installed. Just needed the right version I guess.
Market opens. I can see apps listed and I can search. As soon as I try to view an app or click on My Apps, it force closes every time.
What would cause this?

Did you just needed the smartaction apk, or also system files to make it work on the Moto X? I have migrated from Razr I to Moto X; and the only thing I really miss is SmartActions.. If just installing the apk would give it back, it would be really great; Assist is just brrr..
By any chance; link to Smartactions apk?

Well, as you stated that you are still with motto band , I think you don't need any extra system file. Download the zip file , extract it , put the files in their proper positions according to the sub folder in extracted folder. If any file already exist in system don't replace it.Try and give feedback. I am not taking any credit or responsibility of it. I have tested in non moto device and it works except the location. If you able to get logcat then you can find which system file is needed for location access. Pl. Give feedback.

Does anyone know if there is a way to install the dialer that searches? I believe I was told recently it is a Nexus only feature that allows you to search for a store/business by typing in the name of the business and it will show a list of addresses and phone numbers right from the dialer.
I have had it on my phones (sideloaded) in the past and I was hoping to see it on the L update, but no such luck.
Use Nexus L dialer. There are many sites to download it as: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-new-apps-apks-android-5-0-lollipop-preview-images/. But remember: the dialer indeed enable you to search sites but it is not a replacement for Moto phone functionality. So you must keep original phone.apk and dialer.apk in the system.
Thanks for the info, how do I install this on a non-rooted (VZW) Moto X? Cannot access root to push the .so file and the apk won't install.

In fact I have previous version of Moto x (2013) and I used various Nexus apps many times. I still have Nexus dialer even inverted and it works flawlessly. I believe that it could be installed on 2014 model too if it is compatible with lollipop.
I found the last version of dialer and tried it on my phone. It works and it should work on 2014 as well. I attached the zip. Try this:
Unzip the file and push it with appropriate explorer (as root explorer or similar) to the file where original dialer exist (mine is system/priv-apps). Change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
If your launcher supports activities find phone (new) and pin it to the home screen. Otherwise download Anycut form Google Play and find it in its activities.
If this method wouldn't work it means that there is no lollipop Google Phone apk available for downloading yet. It's just a question of time to get one.
In meantime and if you don't have rooted phone you can find a phone app which supports global contacts search. The most popular is CallApp (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.callapp.contacts).

I've gotten the previous dialer to work. It's the new one (2.0) that I can't get to work. The one on the site you linked. I was wondering if you had any luck with that.
I didn't. But if you had previous Google dialer working on Lollipop, do you expect significant improvements with 2.0?
Howdy all,
I recently rooted my note 5 and ran this debloating script which worked fantastically. However, it did remove the Samsung live wallpaper app which has left me unable to use live wallpapers.
So "no problem" I thought, went and found the .APK for Android 7 online and tried to install it. Unfortunately I get the error "The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name." error.
I've been attempting various fixes I found after googling the problem however I've yet to find anything that'll work (and is within my realm of understanding) in this instance. So what I'm hoping is one of you folks can help me fix this little annoyance without having to completely blow out my phone and edit the debloat script to not uninstall that app.
Cheers!

First off you are supposed to learn about editing the script & then flashing it after making necessary changes to the script by deleting the lines of needed apks.
Secondly for the apk package conflict, you need to manually replace the apk to its actual location with an file explorer capable to access root & restart the phone.
