Some apps are not compatible with android lollipop.
Can you make it clearly what's the problem?
Which apps, rooted phone or not, what u restored, etc etc.
Btw, sometimes a fresh install will fix things... Just download and create ftf with xperifirm and flash with flashtool. Note that internal sd will be wiped then so backup ur photos etc.
After that, don't use titanium backup to restore apps, it may cause issues too.

The latest version of modern combat 5 and mc4. I tried also one another but i forgot the name. When I take the apk file,i click on install and it show me "installing" but at the end it say "cannot install ".

Internal memory almost full.

So the sp does not support moving apps to the sd card. As a result of this, having the phone for a week I keep getting warnings to say the memory is over 75% full. Is there a way around this yet? I really like the standard Rom and hope I don't have to wait for custom roms.

for this u should have root access (on a custom rom)
it will allow u to mount external memory to internal
:good:
Move everything else to sd that you can, photos music downloads etc.

To root XSP go HERE
Well it all Google fault to limit the movement to sdcard. But there's always few apps that natively supported moving data to sdcard.
For now, without root I have to use clean master to delete junk file on my XSP every few day

I would like to have the micro SD as a default location like on my old phone.
Now all app data I backup (like WhatsApp or trafficmanager) goes to sd0 internal. So everyone I want to whipe the phone I have to move it by hand. Verry time consuming.
Apps I just want installed on internal.
I have root. What's the best way to achieve this?

Download Link2SD, moves all your apps and app data to your sd card and any future data will aswell, however you'll have to manually link every app.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
You need root to use these apps.
When using link 2sd you have to create a secondary partition on PC make it primary and use fat32 this is supported by stock.
You can link all apps to extsd
I use foldermount pro to move game data to extsd. As a result of using both these apps I have over 4gig free on internal.

Oh otherwise I would have sent u an update to 4.2.2 but u would need an pc. Anyway seems strange. What exactly happens when u try to install an apk? Try taking the sd card out. Try downloading the apk u wanna install on to the phone without the sd card. Then try installing it. Let me know if that works.

Using explorer I go to the file, tap on it package installer comes up, tap install, installer opens with app details and permissions, try to tap install but the button doesn't highlight it's been pressed, nothing happens. Cancel button works fine
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium HD app
Could be an application you already installed is doing this.
Remove the apps one by one and try again.

If you have a screen related app like screen filter or voodoo colour filter, uninstall it.

Clear data for the Media Storage app:

Scroll down to Media Storage
Select clear data
Try and install your apk.
If it still doesn't work, do the same for Package Installer.

Ok cleared data for Media Storage, no effect.
Cleared data for Package Installer, no effect.
Cleared data for a bunch of other apps with no effect other than losing all my ringtones and notification sounds
Unless I can figure out whats stopping the installation of apps from apk's i just might have to factory reset and start again to see which app it is thats causing these issues.
Thanks all for your help so far!
Ok guys thank you to everyone for helping me. I feel so freakin stupid right now... and rightly so.
I realised that "LUX" auto brightness app was the issue. head slap. Didnt even think of it as a screen related app. Another head slap.
I had stupidly deleted all the apps that trigger sleep mode in Lux's settings ... added package installer back to the list and everything works fine now.
Again a huge thank you to you all for helping and a big sorry for my stupidity.

[Q][HELP]Playstore query

I've been trying to install Zynga poker from the playstore..
I'm unable to find it.
If i try opening it from google play link it says device is incompatible..if i use xposed hacks to override device check,it gives me an error "942"
However i can use it on my old lg P500 device,galaxy tab 3 ,micromax canvas 2 plus .
I dont seem to find a reason.
Apk's from elsewhere work,but i'm a bit reluctant since i have over 1 billion chips and dont wanna get ripped
Can someone check if they can install it ?
Here is the play link https://play.google.com/store/apps/...oogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=zynga+poker
Thanks in advance

Share the apk from any of the mentioned phones using es file explorer. Send it via Bluetooth and install it. Check if it works. Although it will not get updates but you will have the play store version.
use titanium backup to backup the game in one of your phones where the game is working and restore the game on your phone via titanium backup again

There are a lot of apps not compatible and unavailable through the playstore app.
If you mode the build.prop for n7100 it will allow you to download the app from the play store change ro.product.model=GT-N7000 to GT-N7100 and the same for ro.product.device after that save and exit then reboot the you will be able to download. I have tried and confirmed

Lol.
Its a kernel issue..infact it isnt an issue..its something that is stated by philz as a known matter and that is how stock kernel also behaves.
Only speedmod kernel doesnt have a similar problem.

I downloaded a app called power toggles from the play store, but when trying to uninstall it, there is no option too!? :/

Can anyone shed any light?

You may have to force close or disable before you can uninstall. I had to do this to one app yesterday to be able to uninstall it.
Every time I try to disable it I get this message!??

Manual download firmware ?

Hi,
I'm looking to download the newest firmware for my 301BL, as I am using it for Windows Phone so I can manually update the firmware.
I sideloaded this app to get it working...
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/s...ications/fc6a5eec-593c-47b9-8772-067e550b8d7f
There is a few apps in the WIndows Store that can install the firmware but, my watch is on 1.14.4 firmware and I know they are up to 2.9. My serial number starts with a Q and the hardware is V3R3 if that helps.
I tried to install some faces as they need SDK 2.0 or higher, they wont install.
Any idea where I can get these ?
Thanks !
Here is 2.9 if anyone needs it...
