Hi everyone,
I would like to install sony apps on my Xperia SP running aicp (no tangerine kernel). Problem is, apks won't install (app cannot be installed).
As far as I learned, it is because you have to disable signature verification, which I tried thanks to the thread on sont cross device development and with lucky patcher.
The two mehthods above had failed. When I restarted my device with the modified services.jar or the patches, it rebooted, started, then kernel adiutor says "applying settings on boot". When it finishes, device restarts again and keeps restarting until i delete lucky patcher or reinstall the original services.
now my question is, do you guys know a fix for this? Is it kernel's fault? Should i download tangerine? Is it because of kernel adiuitor? Are there other ways to install on cm?
Please respond, and thank you for reading!
Kind regards,
Deleunes254
did you try to push the app into system with the right permissions ?
or search for something called universal apk for music or album or movies on google
im using each and every sony app working fine (latest)
on aicp r4 ..

Lucky patcher itself? No i only installed lucky patcher apk, enabled it in xposed, restarted but then things happened. For the services.jar method, I set permissions to rw-r--r-- as told. Is it a fault maybe in my cellphone? @flash- maybe if i later cleaninstall Aicp10, which I probably have to clean install, and I do a clean whipe, maybe it would then work? :/ It's a reaaally strange bug and don't know how it's happening :/ google wasn't my friend this time :/
Gonna try universal apk

Remove Signature Verification for all devices thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458144
Lucky Patcher? (Yes yes I know its warez but I have a Sony phone and I should damn well be able to install Sony apps )
Xinstaller?
Some other voodoo I am not aware of?
Tried all of the above but couldn't install the Music app from the link you posted though the Videos app got installed. Albums didn't works either.
Cmon dude spill it out. Knowledge increases by sharing, not by saving
Got the music app working now....just pushed the apk in system>app with correct permissions and boom....started working
Hey! Can any one test this zip. Just flash this in recovery. I haven't tested cause my phone is in service centre (slipped from my hand).
After flashing see if music is compatible in play store or can be installed manually.
Please backup ur rom before flashing.
Please report if it works.

You don't need to reflash the ROM to remove system apps. Either go into the /system/app folder with a file explorer with root permissions & delete the apk or folder containing the apk or use something like Sys app remover to get rid of it. Just tried installing Music via adb and although I was successful, the bloody app refused to start. You know the standard Android "unfortunately, app has stopped working blah blah" nonsense. Used ES File Explorer to remove it.
Also dirty flashing probably won't help since it leaves what you installed as it is and you installed these apps. So either do a clean installation or remove them like I mentioned.

You mean just copy paste the apk in system/app folder with ES and change permission to rw-r-r? Did that and also tried it with adb but no luck. Same old "unfortunately, music has stopped" crap. Might have to try the other way now - flash the ported apps and update them via playstore.
Is it working for you properly? From where and which version of Music did you install?

if your mobile is rooted download root explorer then go to data\app then delete it from there .... and you didnt find it there you will find it in system\app and delete it from there and make a restart and you may re-install it
Or search in play store for root uninstaller,those apps can uninstall system apps.
But rootexplorer is the best file manager.also for modifying flashable zips like roms or theme where u want to delete or add apps in the rom.just extract and zip it up when u are finished modifying the rom.
If u delete the apps directly from system/apps then use "SDmaid"(app from play store) to clean out crap, leftovers from apps u delete.
thanks for quick reply , after getting root explorer on and changing permissions for solid explorer i finally managed to delete it
but now it will not install from Play...it says "error - incompatible update ?
shall i just stick with root explorer ?

so went to play and had install option so i clicked install then that error came up

reflashing is not the solution . try oi file manager it is awesome
will do !
thx again for your time
Yeah, stick with rootexplorer, clearly the best, oi manager is also good, but in my opinion it lacks some of the features rootexplorer got.
If u want an innovative filemanager, then try androexplorer, there is a free version without root and zipping, but u get the idea what it's about with the free one and read on how to use it. I use it for moving files around.
haha guess wot..... elite 1.3 came out yesterday so i updated & flashed and OI is now the new file manager
sorted !!
thanks for your help guys, appreciated

Hi,
My ROM came without the email apk/s and I was wondering if anyone had them from stock .254
I have the gmail apk, I need the stock email one for other email services like hotmail
Cheers
EDIT: please read through the rest of the thread, the issue has progressed but not been solved.

When I go to install the apk like a normal apk, by opening the apk in my file explorer and installing, it goes through the install screens, but then finishes by saying "Application not installed"
Unknown sources is checked and I have side loaded apks like this before successfully, what's the problem?
OOhhh, maybe it's because that's an odexed file. My rom is deodexed.
ignore, double post

System apps are not installed like normal apps. You need to root your device, put it in system/app and permissions rw-r-r- reboot to see it
(I'm already rooted)
Well here's something weird. I copied the files, went to system/app and it turns out the files are ALREADY there!
I check out the permissions and they're both correct. So I rebooted and it still won't show up. I opened Titanium Backup and looked through the apps list again there, there's no sign of it being on the system.
The files are there but apparently they're not!
Strange, move those file to data/app rw-r-r- and reboot and see what happens

Hi togehter,
I updated to MIUI V6 4.8.29 yesterday. Right now I have the problem that GAPPS aren't working so whatever I do.
I installed from the MiMarket Google installer and tried to install Google Play and the other 3 required apps, but always when I launch the Play Store this message comes across me (too stupid to upload, just look here LINK ).
I also tried to just flash normal Anroid 4.4.4 GAPPS from the internet but thats neither working. None of the apps is showing up, just as I never installed anything.
So right now I'm in troubles... Hope you guys can help me
Greetings!!

Tried them already, failed during installation in CWM..
Had the same problem, you need to update Play Store.
Download google installer, install all the google apps you need, then download and install this: http://www60.zippyshare.com/v/95809041/file.html then restart the phone. That should work.
The only gapp that force closes is the Play Store. The rest work as it should.
Try uninstall Google Play and reinstall it, work for me.
Thanks for the answers: as in another forum mentioned, reinstalling Google installer and then install the Play Store at last worked for me.
But your ways probably work too!

Hi there,
If anyone still encountering FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore or market, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that, you can try this another option freely other than fixing permission of vending.apk on /system/app/..
This might help you guys .
1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.
2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.
3. You can achive it through shell terminal.
Hope this helps you guys fix the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).
Hit thanks if it helps.
Thanks

If your phones rooted, open any app that can show you the full list of permissions, services, etc, of the playstore, and any app (play services, framework, etc..) and enable them all. I did everything that other post said to do, nothing worked, until I did this, and viola! it works!
How to properly integrate updates into ROM of SONY XPERIA apps like album, Walkman and Movies? Whenever I use Titanium Backup, Link2SD, or other apps, camera stops functioning, and album and walkman doesn't have any cover/thumbnails. Clearing cache/dalvic-cache never helps, and from what I have understood it must be a 'libs' problem, beacuse whenever I integrate theme, the symlinks from /data/data folder point out to nowhere. Also, I have tried to manually replace/move the 'libs' from /data/app-lib to /system/lib, but achieved nothing. Is there anything else I can do? Thank you.
P.S: Camera stops functioning beacuse of the integration of 'AR-effect' update.

I tried that too, integrating using Titanium, replacing files using root explorer etc but no luck. So back to how it was. Keep the original file where it was and install updates over it.

If you are still on Android 11 then yes, you can install it as normal apk. But if you are already on Android 12, you can no longer install via normal apk installation and even adb (if the OS tgt of the app does not meet the requirement for your device, this goes for both normal apk and adb).

But the problem is that I cant share any pics, the gallery/android system crashes on it.
It has to do with some app I uninstalled while debloating via adb.
