I dislike the default launcher that comes with the G Flex, so I installed Nova Launcher. Upon trying to open my gallery app, I get the error message that I quoted for the title of this thread. The gallery app works fine with the LG launcher. My question is this: is there any way to fix the gallery app? I've tried clearing the app's data and cache, to no avail.
If there is no way to fix it, would it be possible to pull an AOSP gallery app from a G2 or Nexus 5 ROM and install it?
EDIT: It seems that none of the LG apps work with Nova Launcher.
something is goofy with your phone; I have been using Nova for 6 months on this phone without issue
I'm using Kit Kat and I'm rooted, but it was doing that before I rooted. I reverted to stock JB (which did not have the same problem), rooted it then, and couldn't reproduce the problem. I reverted to stock again, ran the KK update, installed Nova, and had the same problem. I rooted the phone again, after confirming that the problem still exists.
I've got a few ROMs on my computer, like CM 11 and the new Sprint update for the LS995. I'm wondering if I can just pull the apps I need out of one of those zip files.
I dont know about mixing/using files from other roms..I would probably factory reset first, and see if that helps..if you are rooted, you can grab the GFlex Cache wiper program and try wiping dalvik/cache and see if that helps too
I've already done a factory reset and cleared the cache via the recovery. I'll try the app you spoke of, though. Now I just need to find it...
EDIT: That didn't work. Would it be possible for anyone to pull at least the gallery apk off of their phone and upload it? I'll try to install it using ADB.
EDIT AGAIN: Screw it. I'm going to back up all my crap, revert to stock, redo the update, and root it again. I'll try to see if I can't pull the APKs myself and try reinstalling them. It probably won't work, but it's worth a shot.
ANOTHER EDIT: I figured out what the problem is. I have my DPI set to 220, which apparently breaks the LG apps. I want to keep my DPI setting where it is more than I want to use the broken LG apps, so I'm going to attempt to use the AOSP gallery and see what happens.
YET ANOTHER EDIT: Trying to install the 4.4.2 AOSP gallery apk didn't work. It wouldn't install at all. I found an app in the Play Store that mimics the 4.3 gallery, and it seems to cover my needs for now. Thanks for the advice. It really helped me narrow down the cause of my problem.
Hi, maybe someone in here can help me. I just received a Gear vr and I can not get it to work. I am on a custom rom on the sprint network. Here is what happens:
I plug it in and it says to unplug it to install the software. It installs some software and I go to install let's say 'Oculus 360 photos' and at the end a message pops up saying 'unable to install oculus 360 photos'. I pull down the status bar and click on the failure and it says I have to update the software. I update it and it looks like I'd downloads something but never actually updates. That's where I am. Nothing installs, nothing works. Pretty frustrating...

I had the same problem. Went back to stock and it works great. Maybe today I'll root my phone and stay on stock to see if it's a kernel issue. If I do I'll update you.
You probably do not have the required Facebook apps on your ROM. You need at least com.facebook.system and com.facebook.appmanager.

I do have both of those on my phone. It's probably being rooted or the custom ROM.

Yes, please let me know. I think it has to do with the custom ROM or being rooted.

No problem with being rooted. Custom ROM 100% the case. You need a stock-based TW kernel and therefore stock TW rom with the VR update built-in

Thanks for the update. I think that's my problem. I don't think there is a rooted stock based kernel on Sprint.

It's not the kernel. Finally just installed the newest v9 kernel and rooted my phone. I suggest maybe starting with stock, install the vr software and run once then root. Soon I'll install the newest renegade full rom and see what that does.
It's not the rom either. I may be telling you to do more than you have to but maybe just go to stock, get vr apps then root and clean install full rom. Everything is great for me.
Hey, Did you guys solved it?? I have the same problem
I have a G928P, and I had rooted for unlocking it. Because of this problem, I unrooted the phone... Now I get the ****ing free hand activation message (at least it kept unlocked), but the problem is still there... Any idea???

I solved it. (More or less...)
Edit the file is downloading in the folder "Download" of your cell phone BEFORE it finish. For a reason that I DON´T understand, the software delete this file once it is completed, instead to install it. When you edit the name in the meantime is downloading, you impide it. Then, rename it back to .apk (if not it will keep as ".apk_downloading so you can´t install it), and install it manually.
It finally works.
Does anyone knows how could I impide the file gets deleted? I don´t mind if I have to install it manually, as long as I can. So far, when the app is not very big, I have to be VERY fast in the editing..., or I will not be able to do it.
Im curious, oculus vr worked flawlessly, unil i installed "package disabler pro" and removed "bloat".
I have read that facebook apps are required (rediculous... F*+-ing facebook bulls&*#@.)
Bit is anyone aware of what "bloat is required for functionality?

Hello,
I had the same kind of issue on my note 4: update & install of the essential apps were always failing (photos 360, videos, videos 360).
I managed to update by renaming the downloaded file before it got deleted, but I had to do the same operation for all apps then install them manually before I could access the Oculus store.
I wonder why installs fail like that. I rooted the phone with cf-auto-root to be able to use my PS3 controller wirelessly. Maybe it is becuse the kernel is slightly modified for root?
EDIT: Also it seems I will need to use the same method for all installation I do from the oculus store! I really want to fix this. I'll probably try unrooting...
Rooted, it will not work

If the phone is rooted, it will not work. No matter how you install the apps, it will never open oculus.
I had to unroot, and it worked again (installing apps manually, as I explained before). Once rooted again, I even tried to substitute the kernel for the original one. That allowed me to enter in Oculus, but the VR never worked. I had to unroot again.
Does anyone know how to impide it delete the apk file automatically? At least that would help.
Finally got into the process and sign into oculus app
Hi guys,
I finally succeeded in getting the download process working:
- log the samsung app output with logcat via adb
- click on install button of the Gear Vr configuration wizzard
- catch the called urls on logcat and copy/paste them on your browser to download the APKs
( for me : prePost_20160128024220687.apk
prePost_20160128024344077.apk
prePost_20160330073402086.apk
prePost_20160330073501789.apk
prePost_20160330073641987.apk
prePost_20160330073735750.apk)
- install them in the order the urls were called ( adb install -r prePost_20160128024344077.apk )
- on the device, stop the download using the cross
- click the install button again
The download should now be successful.
on Galaxy S6

Package Disabler Pro locks out all the needed VR apps. I uninstalled it and the VR works great!

Hey do you known if your phone is a little cracked if the vr will still work good
Tried installing the Google Keyboard 5.0 apk on N Preview 2 and it says it's corrupt. I assume this is because it's baked into the system ROM.
I guess I could wait until it updates in the PlayStore, I but has anyone found or made a flashable zip for installing?

android n keyboard has a target of sdk higher than marshmallow. it wont work. but good news. google released the keyboard to market.
edit: if you dont get the update from market you can install this one:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-keyboard/google-keyboard-5-0-18-121010836-release/
make sure you dont install the arm64 one. that will also cause an issue.

If you guys want to install this on your Nexus 6 running N Developer Preview 2
1. Root your device
2. Install 3rd Party Keyboard
3. Uninstall Google Keyboard via Titanium Backup
4. Install Google Keyboard 5.0
5. Uninstall 3rd party Keyboard (optional)
6. Reboot

This kinda worked. I had to reboot after uninstalling Google Keyboard. Then it allowed me to install without stating the file was corrupt. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Just FYI, this will probably break the OTA update to N preview 3 that will be out this month.

Not in N OTA.
Hi, I've a short query, is the Nexus launcher built-in in the Android 7? I've used Nexus launcher leaked version and it is awesome, liked it a lot.just wondering if it comes with final Android build?
It's been rebranded Pixel launcher and will be exclusive to the new Pixel phones (officially) however I'm sure there will be ways to circumvent this.
I have a TWRP flashable version of it, with the new wallpaper app. You can set different lock and home screen wallpapers.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9bs6rjw237p272k/PixelLauncher7.1.zip?dl=0
Anyone else having issues installing. I have tried to install since we recieved the official Android N update with no luck. I tried the nexus launcher as well as the pixel launcher. I even tried different versions of twrp and does the same thing. It says install was successful, but when phone is rebooted, the launcher is not installed

Funny thing, it doesn't seem to be a System/Home option. I flashed mine, and had to choose at reboot, but I don't see if I could change it back (not that I want to).
Edit: Okay, it's not under System/home any more, but in System/Apps, tap the settings gear.
That's what I was thinking as well. But unfortunately it does not even show up there. I am at a lost. Strange part was I had no issues on the developers preview
Also would like to mention, I even flashed the one from the link you provided. It flashes fine in two with no errors, but it does not install.
The update after dp5 is kinda fishy, it seems. Some have problems with the radio. I did a clean flash, then added SuperSu and the Pixel launcher, and it worked for me.
Yes that what i was thinking. I did not really want to root the phone. Which version of the root are you using?
SuperSu 1.78
Just asking out of curiosity. Why that version. I have not used superuser for a while, which is why i am asking. I see SuperrSu is at version 2.78?
Sorry, typo, it's the 2.78.
Just had a chance to flash it.... and it is working. That is pretty strange to say the least.
Is it worth flashing it? Just made a clean install of Stock NPD90 and didn't flash TWRP yet

Not really. It's just a launcher with no extra features. Unless you count the ability to set different wallpapers for the lock screen and the home screen a feature.
But it looks cool, and you get an extra fixed icon on the bottom.

So now advantage regarding the usage of Google Assistant from this launcher?
Nothing more than Google Tap already did.

So the launcher only works after flashing SuperSu? Just installed the Pixel Launcher via twrp but it doesn't show up
That was the only way I was able to get both the pixel and Nexus launcher to work on stock.
Obviously a mistype... V2.78r1 is the latest.

Edit: sorry, I see that I was responding to an old post, but the link may be useful anyway.
I saw in an XDA-TV video that you are supposed to be able to either display the clock or weather on the home screen. Has anyone found a way to switch it? I'm thinking it might only be a feature with the Pixel launcher on the Pixel phones.
I have the phone now exactly 3 h and must first get used to this Xiaomi world. I reinstalled my apex launcher and wanted to recover the data from a backup (memory access is set). I get the message that this action can not be performed. If I want to do a backup, the same message comes up. Why is that (with normal roms from the normal Google world, I never had problems).

I also have the same issue with a realme phone did you manage to solve it?
I've had this problem for at least a year now and nothing I've tried worked to fix this. It's ridiculous.
Did anyone find the reason for this yet - Im still having this issue?

Nothing yet, in the same boat
I have the same problem on Galaxy a22 Android 11: no possibility to backup and impossible to restore from previous setting (from another Galaxy). The message is "the action cannot be completed". it's really frustrating and i haven't found any solution on the net and although this bug is also reported on google play, there is no update to fix it. Really a pity!
Edit: Even installing older versions or even Apex Launcher Classic does not solve the problem. Therefore, it is an Android 11 problem! Perhaps, a problem of permissions, even more than compatibility .. but one should understand which permissions! I don't know if on any device with 11 ..
OP was from 2019 and this issue still seems to be happening. I just got an S22 Ultra and can't create a backup nor restore. As @liberalinea mentioned, issue with permissions or compatibility. Has anyone been lucky/smart enough to figure out a fix yet??
Same issue with my pixel 6pro running 12. Did not have this issue with my Ulefone running 10
Have similar issue on Android 9 and 10. Restore does not restore any links but links to apps which are currently installed. Not via Apex GUI, nor via Titanium or other backup apps. Manual copy of app data folder (root) does not restore better neither. Restore functions fine with Classic, but since Android 9 only shortcuts to installed apps are possible, no URL or files and folders. :-( Have written several times to the developper, but no response :-(
Any hint will be much appreciated.
