I will really appreciate it if someone can help me to stop the annoying ota updates/notifications on rooted stock rom.
Press and hold on the notification, attempt to deactivate the notification from the "Apps" part of settings.
If that doesn't work, find out what app it is from the long-press "App Info", then download Titanium Backup and freeze that app. Problem gone.

Thanks for the reply. My problem is not with the apps update but with the OTA (sprint and htc) updates because I dont want to lose root and the notification for ota update is getting very anoying.
Okay so I never create new threads but after the most recent gear manager update (1.4 i believe) it seems that everyone is having sms issues and if you uninstall the gear manager app then try to reinstall it gives you an error that your device is not compatible (even with a note 3) Let's try and keep the update related problems on this thread. Also I was able to find an older version of the gear manager apk and it seemed to fix the issue.
Edit- Hers is the link for the apk I used. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4ea1786uzpy70vk/gearmanager.apk I also had to go into rom toolbox and manually delete anything related to gear manager in order for this to install.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. My gear works perfectly on my s3 so I'm not updating crap anymore. I'm convinced Samsung doesn't test anything.

Thanks!
Wish I would have found this thread before I started reflashing ROMS trying to figure out why my Gear suddenly crapped itself after yesterdays update. Your APK has me back in business!
Hello
I need some help, I think this is just similar but i dont know so:
I upgraded my G Flex (D955) to LG's official KitKat (because warranty).
The process finished succesfully but if i want to open the stock weather app it sais, i need to download the weather forecast theme-> the update center is opening, but there is no weather theme, just the stock apps.
(I have a G2 too, but when i upgraded that the weather theme was in the update center)
Thank you so much.
Go to app manager. Find the app, clear out the data and clear out the cache.
Then close that, go find the app it's self and open it.
Try that first. Let me know if it worked.

I tried to delete the weather app's, the download manager's and the update center's cache and data, but no success. Still the same message.
Hello all,
I'm having a bit of an issue where I can't download or update anything from play store or anywhere else really. Things start downloading and then when they near completion and get to about 98%, they get stuck there and eventually give an error that they cant download. It's only happening on my new Lollipop install. I flashed the 23.1.A.0.726 ftf file on an unlocked bootloader and i am running it on Androplus advanced stock kernel v2.
I've not has this issue on a similar version of kitkat that I currently have a back up of on the same phone. \I'm just bouncing between the two when i get some time to try and fault find the lollipop version. Obviously I want to move to the lollipop version permanently but i will only do that when I've sorted out this issue.
I cant seem to find anyone having the same issue. I've tried the following methods but they didn't work....
First.
Quick toggle pull down
Settings
Apps
Swipe left to the "all" catagory
Scroll down till you find "Google Play Store"
Force stop
Clear data
Now try the play store
If that doesn't work
Try
Quick Toggle pull down
Settings
Scroll down to accounts
Tap Google
Tap your account
Tap the settings menu (three dots in the upper right)
Remove Account
Back out to the settings screen
Add Account
Google
Sign in with your Google account
Does anyone have any other possible solutions to this or know what the hell maybe going on?
Thank you!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I had a look in system apps and both of these are there and unfrozen.
I'm actually trying to run LP 5.0.2: Massive DEBLOATING/23.1.A.0.726 custom FW for Z3C -all working (xposed etc) by moly82. I've tried a full wipe and install via recovery and still i cant get any apps to actually fully download and install. They all get to 99%and then never install for some weird reason.
did you finally solved somehow your problem?
try to flash the latest ROM from moly82 (v4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/wip-debloat-lp-690-correct-functioning-t3076161
Hey guys,
i have Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F (INS) (Non-Rooted)
i have seen newer Updates of Samsung system apps like touchwiz, phone, soundalive, gallery, and many more newer version apps in ApkMirror.com but when i download the newer version and try to install. it fails to install. it tells "app did not install"
1) tried the secure setup On and Off and it did not work for me in installing apk (failed)
2) tried OEM unlock and tried Adb debugger enabled and tried installing from Adb terminal pc (failed)
3) tried in safe mode also (failed)
4) tried uninstalling updates and installing newer direct downloaded from apk mirror (failed)
i simply could not install any newer version apps also in this note 8 could some one please find a solution for this as even these Samsung galaxy store and play store has too old versions of apk which i felt the rom is quite slow. if Apkmirror tells "there is no mod done to the apk and signatures are pure Samsung". then why the note 8 is not installing it.
Please dont tell me to root and do the copy paste and permission work (this process i know and i dont want to root my device at any cost)
Please someone find the solution for this problem without Root option its a really need to solve this problem for most of them (including me)
I FOUND TEMP SOLUTION FOR IT

Just wait till an official update comes along! It doesn't take long!

Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Unknown sources turned on? You shouldn't need any of the other things you've tried to sideload an app.
Also interested in this, there is a few updates on Apkmirror that I would love to update to, but I get the error "App not installed"
I usually only get that error if a previous version is installed. Have to uninstall the previous version then install the version you want. Updating an app by trying to install tge newer one often does not work unless updating from the Google or Samsung store.
Just wait for the official update. The one from apk mirror should be extracted from S8 android Oreo beta, hence apps not installed on note 8 (Nougat)
I was just hoping to get feature updates a bit earlier, since my carrier is horrible with updates. No worries though, thanks for the info.

Have you tried to install via adb?
Try going to settings, apps, click on the app you're trying to update, click upper right 3 dots, uninstall updates, then try to installing the new .apk.
This is the same problem as I described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3701934
ADB will not work!
Installing after removing earlier updates won't!
This has nothing to do with the APK source! (and @Bandito: not all apks there are from oreo, lol. they are pure minority...)
Our Problem is a Samsung-wanted security mechanism to prevent manual updates for some Samsung apps, mainly system apps!
On S8 it worked to change device secure startup from one setting to the other, reboot, and then as long as you do not reboot again, you could update these apps with the apks from apk-mirror!
for note8 no such workaround is known, at least not for what I know...

Interesting.. Because I thought it was my "newness" to using apk updater.. I'm glad it's not just me, as I thought that was very odd also.. And like the rest of you all, I see tons of updated app on there that won't install..

I have exactly the same problem here. APK of any Samsung system app refuses to install. However, Samsung Galaxy Apps and Samsung Themes are able to be updated using latest .apk files from www.apkmirror.com, so give it a try! Installing via ADB returns this error:
HTML:
Failed to install app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_BY_BUILDTYPE_BY_SECURITY_POLICY]
Searching this error on Google returns no useful results, so this definitely needs more attention. I also do not understand why the "About" section of each Samsung system app claims that "The latest version is already installed" when there is obviously a newer version available.

Hi all,
I had a similar problem. I was wanted to install a newer version of memo app on j510f with android 7.1.1 because after flashing new xsg rom it's missed its bidirectional writing ability (on android 6.0.1 it was starting from left side while typing english and was starting from right side while typing persian or arabic, automatically).
well, my solution:
first, i did what amit.a said in this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74589925&postcount=11
I'm not spamming keep reading
after installing it i used app2sd app to convert it to system app. then i restarted the device and finish!
after restarting, if app icon changed to android logo, reinstall it using amit.a's method.
i even installed samsung note with this way, but totally it didn't work on my device and stopped working
at the end, i really appreciate if someone send me the original memo app from j510f with android 6.0.1. hope it work on android 7 as was working on android 6.
Any more progress with this?
