Missing APK's can you share? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I deleted all the bloat on my Note 3 but I must have uninstalled a couple I should'nt have. Is there a kind soul out there that would share their apk files so I can restore the ones I'm missing?

Thank you so much.
I'll see if I can find out. Do I just move those files into the app folder along with all the others or do I have to install them?

Try moving them into /system/app and then restart. If they don't appear in the app drawer then I guess try going into /system/app and installing the apk.

I tried both. Moved the apk and odex files into system/app and restarted. No luck.
I tried to install the apks and it goes through the install process but then says "application not installed"

Hum. I'm unsure of what to do, lol. I thought copying and pasting would work. Maybe I gave you the wrong apks. The only settings and live wallpaper apks had Sec in front of them.

No worries. I appreciate your help.
Now my settings wont work. I crashes the launcher when I try to go to settings and the icon for settings in the app drawer is gone.
Is there a way I can fix this? I've already booted into recovery wiped cache and factory reset. Didn't help. Same issue.

Omg. Look what I've done. I apologize. D:
I guess the next step is to install KIES and plug your phone into the computer. I should surely tell you the software version. If you're still on MI9 then you have it made because an ODIN exists for that. If you're on MJ5 perhaps someone with more experience than I can chime in on how to flash stock.

How can I find out what version I have if I cant get into settings?

When moving files into /system/app, don't you have to change permissions on them to 755 after moving them to make them work?

I completely forgot about that. You are right.
@Tenacious--M you need to change the permissions to rw-r--r--. I use root explorer to do this. At this point it may be futile but it's worth a shot.

Follow these instructions exactly. no one guided you in detail.
1) Open root explorer if those apks are already in your /system/app folder, press R/W at the top and it will become R/O.
2) Now go to those files you are trying to install. Long press on them and select permissions. Then check all 3 boxes of the first row (READ) and only the 1st box of the second row (WRITE) and no boxes of the third row (EXECUTE). This will make your permissions rw-r--r-- as mentioned by the previous poster.
3) Now press the R/O at the top so it becomes R/W and reboot your device.
That's it. Your system apks will auto install themselves upon reboot. You never are supposed to press install within the system folder, which is why it wasn't working for you in the first place.

Ok, got em to show at rw-r-r but they didnt install on reboot. I have them copied into the system folder and then to apps. I did notice that the System folder is rwxr-xr-x. Does this matter?

Nook Color Tools

I'm having trouble installing this...I'm using root manager, and placing the apk into the system/apps folder. When I click on it it says installation blocked. And the reason I'm installing, or trying to install nook color tools, is so that I can change keyboards. So I'm stuck in a maddening circle.
Anyone want to show me the light? I don't know why I'm having so many issues...rooting and installing other apks went flawlessly.

Mine is in data/app, not system. Maybe try putting it there....?
Did you try installing it from your SD, without putting it in the internal memory first?
Also, after putting it in data/app or system/app, you could try simply rebooting without installing via Package Installer, and see if it shows up in your app drawer.

That's the thread - should be in the first post.
Yes, it works on 1.0 too.
If you have problems installing other APK's. Find the "Allow Non-Market Apps" Checkbox in NookColor Tools (it's in the app drawer).
Uncheck the box, recheck the box. NC might need a reboot but it worked for me. I tried installing with Astro and Appinstaller and neither would let me until I did this little trick.
I just put the APK's in the Root of the SDcard btw.

I am in exact same boat as above. I rooted with 1.00 and cannot get nook color tools. I want to unlock permissions and be able to download third party apps. I tried to purchase root manager from market but would not let me purchase. It stated, my cc was invalid.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. I was pulling my hair out to try to install non-market apps... Unchecking and checking it again worked.
(When I plug in my nook, I don't see a "system/apps" or "data/apps" folder to put apks.)
That worked.
Thank you so much for all of your help with that. I was so frustrated. Now I just have to get the other issues worked out. Searching the forum for those.
HELP!!! I'm going crazy! I've put the nookcolor tools 0.2apk on my sdcard, then using root explorer am i suppoused to copy, or move the apk from my sdcard to system/apps, or to data/apps? So far i've tried both & nothing, what am i doing wrong? I'm rooted with autonooter & the market works fine, i just need to get nookcolor tools. One more thing, when they say reboot, that means back out of root explorer, & manually hold down the power button, & then turn it back on right? quickboot does not work, so this is all i can think of =' (

copy it to system/apps. Rebooting means hold power button down till a prompt asking if you would like to power down the device comes up. Hit yes. Device is now off. Hold power button again till it starts up. Release power button. It's booting up again....hence the term rebooting.

[Q] Market won't recognize sideloaded apps

It seems that since updating to the AT&T 2.2 Froyo update and rooting the market will not recognize any side loaded apps that have been added to the phone since upgrading to 2.2. All apps that I side loaded on 2.1 are recognized and can be updated but nothing on 2.2. Anyone else have this problem and if so have you been able to fix this issue?
I used SuperOneClick to root the phone and did a reboot the phone afterward to allow side loading of apps and it is working. I am still using the adb install command to side load all my apps, is this wrong?
If this is something that is not to be discussed I apologize now.
Well I don't have a direct answer to your question but since you are rooted I highly suggest you go and get Titanium Backup along with atrackdog.
The former application will alloa you to backup any applications you want (or aall of them) and then save them to your computer. you can then move the folder to any phone and use Titanium to reinstall the applications exactly where you left off. That means launchers will have the same layouts and games will still have their save states.
The latter will allow you to check the update status of those applications since they won't show up as downloaded applications from the market.

side loaded paid apps will NEVER show in market.
free ones can be restored...
tibu has never been able to restore market links for me either.
there used to be a program MCleaner but it got taken off the market..
but all it did was this (do it yourself)
Menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > Market
- force stop
- clear data
- clear cache (if availavle)
restart market > my apps

Actually, it does. Market only keeps track of the apps you buy/download through it. What you're asking is like expecting Wal-Mart to know what you bought from Target.
Hey guys I just had a question while reading through the replies.
I downloaded atrakdog and got a list of all the apps needed to be updated.
One of the apps was the market..
Mine is version 2.3.4
I need to update to 5.0.12
How do you update market? Btw I'm running cm7 does this effect it?
Sent from my phone
Market should update automatically. As far as the sideload apps you can. Also get root explorer and copy paste them to system/app then reboot and they'll all be there.

So your are saying instead of using adb installer just do a drop and drag to the system/app folder and install them that way? Now will that put them in the market place? I don't quite understand what you are really saying here. Excuse my ignorance.

That's exactly what I was thinking was moving the file to the system/app file then reinstalling the .apk first then doing the 3 button reboot to see if it would recognize the app on the market. I did try just a 3 button reboot after side loading a few apps using ADB Installer and just doing the normal drop and drag to the sim card and I know that doesn't recognize them. I am going to try and reinstall one of my apps that way and I will let you know if it shows up or not.
When trying to move a new .apk file to the system/app file it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is a read-only."

ok here is what I would do
http://androidcommander.com
download this file, connect your phone with adb debugging enabled. This program will find your device, from there you can open an extracted rom browse the rom until you find the HTC TV app and install it as a system app,
I did this for my evo 3d when devs took out the 3d widgets I used.

no if you double click the apk file for HTCTV another window will open, when you click install a third window will open and the last option is install as a system app, select that one and click install
this will chmod the app file as 777 allowing it be executed. I think your system is not set as rw and only as ro.

Why can't I install?
I am rooted.
I tried to put the APK file in system folder and in the sd card neither will install.

I would use root tool box and check permissions as to RW-R-R and see if that helps...Just a thought..
tried that already.
no go.
Have you tried putting it in system/apps then change permissions to rw r r and then just reboot the phone?

Of course.
This has never happened before on any of my Samsung phones.
So thing to install it. Copy it into the system/app folder and set the correct permission. If you deleted the odex for of them then you'll need to get those too. Or use another launcher. Touchwiz launcher sucks anyways.

I've deleted the Magazine lounge apk and odex and haven't had a problem. I think its the main magazine that you cannot delete. Its worth a shot for him to try that though I guess lol

Nothing worked.
So I ended up doing a factory reset. and everything is working fine.
The funny thing is after the factory reset, none of the Samsung and AT&T bloat was on there., including My magazine and magazine.
Only Samsung apps were the health and S note / drawing.
That happen to me also when I did a factory reset one time, weird stuff.

So I downloaded the .apk and got the same did not install as the previous user and I'm fairly new to rooting, so would like to resolve this somehow without having to go back to stock and potentially re-root...thanks for your patience. I am using a SM-900V. Is the system when i just paste it into the base of my phone when connected to my computer? Also, how do I change permissions? I downloaded Root Toolbox free and don't see how to do it in there.

The system folder is accessed from root explorer or whatever you use. Can't access the folder on the computer. I have root explorer (paid) so I don't know about fixing permissions on your app.

You could use ES file explorer to install the apk also. I made a video on how to do this but it won't let me upload the file on here, its too large.
Here's some new downloads also.

Ok, so I bought Root Explorer and was able to transfer the MagazineHome.apk and the Lounge.apk into system/app and then I changed the permissions to rw-r-r, and then I rebooted. When swiping up from home screen I get no application installed and I also still get TW has stopped when I hit the home button while on the home screen. Another note is that when I rebooted, just about right away I got unfortunately my magazine has stopped. Any help from this point?

Go into system apps and delete the two, reboot, install them again and reboot. You could also try going into recovery if you have twrp installed or CWM and try fixing permissions after you re-install the apks again.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and changed the permissions again but nothing, getting the application not installed and the fc of TW...might be easier to just leave it be?

Well that's just odd. I just installed them on my phone and they did say not installed but after a reboot the app was there. Do you have unknown sources checked on in settings? Maybe try using es file explorer, its free.
