I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Android 4.1.1 (Official) and encountered a problem with my lock screen and power button not working, so after I did my research, I found that I needed to add 'ON' to the 'keystr' file in the IMEI folder or some other folder which obviously needed root explorer. I installed it and Found it giving me a blank black screen. I tried re-installing android 4.1.1 again but still it is of no use.
I attached a screenshot of the screen when I open the app. I don't seem to understand the problem, with the root/flash or the app.
Hope someone replies fast!
To go to that folder you will need root access..
Application doesn't open. Check the screenshot.

Hello. You might want to try using ES File explorer instead. It comes with Root explorer and much user friendly. To give root explorer access all you need to do is:
1. Open ES file explorer. press menu button. find "Tools" menu and press to expand.
2. Scroll down to find "Root Explorer" and press to activate, then it will prompt you to give access. grant it and voila.

Hey! Thanks for replying soon. I followed what you said and still it gives me the same blank black screen even after giving it root access. Do you think there ia a problem in the way I flashed/rooted my phone?
Is this only happening with root files or other files too? Can you view the contents of internal storage using any of the file managers?

Hey. This problem occurs only with root explorer. I am able to view the contents of internal storage with some other app called 'root browser'

Strange.. After giving it root access a screen was supposed to appears with the following menus:
Root Explorer
One key install
One key uninstall
Backup app and data
Uninstall system app
startup manager
Mount R/W
Stop Permission.
What were you trying to do exactly?

As I said, I was searching for a file called 'keystr' because my lock and home button wa not working. And the menu did appear. I un-installed the file and re installed It. Still it doesn't work.

first check if you have root access using root checker.. then enable USB debugging and connect to pc and use shell and su command (should ask for superuser on phpne) and then
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
It's working in my phone.

I have searched the forums and Googled it but can not find an answer our a way to do it. I can install non market apps with my computer but was just wondering if there was a way to do or directly from the phone.

Use a file manager like Root explorer. It is a paid app but really great. There are some free ones as well like Astro but I personally don't like how the UI looks.
You can download them to your SD card and install with Astro (free). Browse your SD card with Astro, click on the file and it asks you to either browse or install.
Thanks I meant if you can download the file not install them. I assume that its just not possible and you have to use your computer then.

Does anyone have any input on this? When I browse the forums on my phone and click on an apk, I get an "Unknown - Cannot download. The content is not supported on the phone" message.
Are there any possibilities installing an apk using only the phone?

Download Astro File Manager. Open it up and then use the menu button and go to Preferences. At the bottom of the list you'll see "Enable Browser Downloads". Tick that box and now you can download files in your phone's browser.
Don't uninstall astro, or you won't be able to dl anymore.
I just used Dropbox. Files go in on my PC, and are available on my phone with the Dropbox app.
DB offers 2GB storage for free and, so far, it's worked from all my PC's and works well with my phone. I just open the .apk and install.
umm... same way you download on a computer...
google.com search > "" Some Dumb app pro v9.9 .apk download ""
download. install. duh
use google to rip off google...

There's an app on the market called "Download All Files ". It has allowed me to download several different files that I was not able to before. Downloaded files get put into a folder called "download" on the sd card. Use your file explorer, you can install .apks from there.
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.

I was able to purchase root manager and move nook tools to system/apps. when I try to install, it says's "installation of download apk's are not supported " . How can I change permission if it don't let me install nook tools.

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.
Hi! I've uninstalled some applications but I can remove them completely.
When I go to "Settings" "Applications" "Manage" I keep getting this apps:
com.allrecipes.spinner.free
com.keramidas.tinaniumbackup
com.popcap.pvz_row
They all have 0.00kb of space. When I try to remove, it allows me. But when I've restart the phone, the same applications are there again.
Can anybody help me by telling me what can I do to remove them?
Thanks!
You got root ?
If you do
Download root explorer
And then go to system-->app
Dont forget to mount to R/W
(There is a botton at the top)
Then press long press on the app you want to uninstall,delete it.
Reboot the phone
And there you go .. you deleted the app you wanted

Hi! I've got root. But i'va looked at that folder and didn't find the files corresponding to the app I want to remove. They're still at the aplication manager :\
I've first removed some of the applications using titanium backup, but now, i've searched with root manager, and can't find any files with that name, buy they are @ the application manager.
I browse to where I downloaded the file from ES Explorer and click on the app, but I get that install failed? Any help? I like to use a stylus frequently, and with this latest ROM it is missing the input very frequently. I read that this app installed a setting or a switcher app to select between touch and stylus/

Likely you got install failed because it's a system app. That's my guess. Try this instead. If you have a way of using titanium back up on a device where tenderloinparts works, use Ti to back up the app. Take the back up files from that device and move it to your Oats one. From there, drop it into your Ti backup folder. Then have Ti restore the tenderloinparts.
System APK
Well, I didn't exactly follow your advice, but once you pointed out that it was likely a System App, I installed with Root Explorer by copying to \system\app and setting rights to -rw-r-r then reboot and now it works!

Which apps are you trying to gain superuser access on? ES File Manager?
If that is the app, open ES File Manager. Click the "Settings" button on the bottom tool bar. Shaped like a square in the center. Then click "Setttings."
Scroll down to the "Root Settings" area. Click enable for "Root Explorer."
Close ES File Explorer. Then re-launch it.
Hope that helps!

You need to move the apk to /system/app/ and then you can change permissions. And as for the play store app crash, drop down the status bar, click more, open applications, open installed applications, find Appstore (amazon), force stop and clear data. Then reinstall vendor.apk. Reboot. Try again. You may need to check that you have all the latest versions of play store, google framework, google login and accounts sync.
Try that.
