[Q] Calc app from 4.3 - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hello all, I have the APK for the calc app used on my stock 4.3 rom, and I'd like to use it on Cyanogenmod. I can't get it to install however, which tells me that it is not as easy as just getting the apk from the stock rom and installing it on CM.
I have Unknown Sources checked, but the error I get when installing is "App not installed."
Does anyone have any information on how I can get this to install properly? Any help is appreciated.
I have attached the apk if it helps, and a screenshot of the app.
Edit: Have tried moving the apk to /system/apps, setting permissions and rebooting.

thats because, the apk needs touchwiz framework of 4.3 to work correct. it will not work on aosp roms.

Why would you even want to use this featureless calculator, when CM's one has more useful features?

Most Samsung apps cannot be installed on a CM7 based ROM such as Miui since they require the Samsung Framework to function. I suggest finding replacements for whatever Samsung apps you are missing in the Market.
Well I could get it from a samsung rom if it's only a file to add.
Or is this the framework.jar ?

Application not installed

I'm trying to install a certain .apk file. and it keeps showing me "application not installed".
I've tried it on stock, and it installs.
After checking logcat this is what it says:
D/PackageManager( 1399): Scanning package com.abcdef.android.abcdef.abcdef.apk
W/PackageManager( 1399): Cannot install platform packages to user storage
W/PackageManager( 1399): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.abcdef.android.abcdef.abcdef.apk
How can i fix this.
Thanks.
Which is your default install location? It might be causing problems

Don't be a noob. Be a newbie..!!
Details here.

Application moving is unchecked..
I tried checking it, and tried all locations.
still, the same problem...
How do i fix it?!
One more thing!
I realised that all other apk install properly, only apps that are supposed to be installed to internal storage (data\app) dont install properly.
Internal apps installing using android commander, check the install as system app box. The traditional root explorer thing can also be done.

But those apps don't need to be copied to system \app.
They are normal apps like UOT Themes and stuff.
Did you try adb to install? Check if that works.
The problem is that these are normal apk's.
because of this issue, i have to start from scratch.

When you say normal apk, does that refer to stock apk?
Like Themes, and games and all types of apk that are supposed to be installed on internal, (data\app) can't get installed.
Are you using multiple sd-ext scripts?
nope. not partitioned.
Actually it works on other roms, just issue wid mine.
That's why i decided to start from scratch.
OK. Then use spare parts apk and check the compatibility mode box.It might help.

Nope. Didn't work.
I'm just gonna switch the base over to unnoficial.
Okay. Good Luck with the ROM. Hoping to see more features in V2 :good:
Thanks..
Problem is official cm apps don't work on unofficial. So i have to compile all modded apps again.

[Q] Can't install secure settings helper

I'm trying to install helper (busy box already installed) however, every time I try to install it, it reboots my phone. Pushing the apk into system\app also reboots the phone. I can push other apk's and remove apk's from system\app just not the helper apk. When I try to flash the securesettingshelper.zip in CWM it says "installation aborted"
I've tried a number of things to get this working including flashing the bulletproof-1.8 kernel. I've also tried doing the fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230341
Does anyone have the helper installed on their device? If so, could you link or guide me through the process?
Thanks
EDIT: solved! not sure what the issue was still, but I just did a full wipe and reinstalled Android Revolution HD 8.0. Perhaps it's because I tried using Rom Cleaner 3.5 for the HTC One X

I got it to work. I just used the normal install from the app itself. nothing special, no apk or cwm zip file. Make sure your root is ok?

yea installing from the app is the first thing I tried. I know my root is good since su is installed and all other apps work fine.
i got the same "installation aborted" when flashing via cmw, but did manual copy paste and change name
(Manually copy to /system/app/SecureSettingsHelper.apk ) and then restart my n7105. now helper is working. will try if pattern unlock is working.
what other people do after installing helper?

[Q] Can't Install the xposed.apk

First Hi all!
I already had the XPosed APK installed with frameworks and the Module still run but the apk is missing. I dont know but i never deleted it (or i dont know?). In the Application List of the Device i see all Modules but not the Apk. I downloaded the apk from the offical site and when i install it, the device (A German S4 GT9515) says 'The app wasnt installed'.
Is this a bug or something? Is there another Way to install the apk again?

Help needed re-installing system app (non root)

Hi all,
I'd make a silly mistake earlier and I need help. This is what happened:
1) download and installed an apk from apk mirror (Google Phone);
2) the apk installed over the app already installed on my phone;
3) when opening the app, it says "device not supported";
4) download the correct apk but unable to install as app is already installed (the earlier installed apk);
My phone is not rooted (64/128). Any ideas on how to reinstall the correct app without getting the "device not supported" message?
Thank you and any help is greatly appreciated.

Can you try to disable the app and then to enable it back?
There isn't an option to disable the app as it is a system app. However, I'd managed to get this sorted. My solution - factory reset the phone! All is well now, despite the fact that I was unavailable for nearly an hour downloading and reconfiguring all my daily apps
Thanks, anyways.

You can disable system apps, you can't uninstall them
