Hello,
So I can't use SnapChat anymore because my Samsung Galaxy S3 is rooted and they have blocked rooted users from using SnapChat. So I looked up how to be able to use SnapChat with a rooted phone an every post I read says I have to install the Xposed Installer, but when I do install it, I keep getting a message saying "App not installed". Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone
I ve installed manually Samsung browser version 5.0 over my old version but it doesn't run correctly with errors, unexpected closes etc.. Now I want to go back to the right version but I cannot either uninstall it or install the previous one over the new one as it's a system app. I'm not rooted.. Is there a way I can do it or any 5 version that works correctly to anyone to install it?

I don't think version 5 worked for me either.
If you installed it then it should have installed as a user app. You should be able to uninstall it via app manager using the 'uninstall updates' button and revert to the default (system) version.
Have you tried clearing cache and data for the browser app first?
You can always install the play store version.

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?
Gentlemen, good morning!
I've followed these instructions, everything ran well, installed Chrome and other Google apps, but then a recurrent "Google Play Services needs to be updated" error began to pop-up.
I've wait for several minutes, then I've tried to update it, but Play Store keeps "installing..." endlessly, then I've tried to mannualy install the latest version (15.0.90), also latest version for the Play Store, but same update error, finally, I reboot my Fire Tablet and Google Play Store doesn't login anymore, after entering password, returns to initial login screen (email), in an endless loop.
Any recommendations?
Best,
Alex
Can you disable or uninstall any Amazon's bloatware
Are you stuck in Checking info... screen? Re-install again the 4 Google APKs and reboot
I've been given an S21 Ultra, but it seems to be a demonstration unit, so there's no Google Play Store access, which means I can only load apps onto it that are found in the Galaxy Store.
I've tried to side load the Google Play Store APK, but once it's installed, it won't open. Instead it says "No app can perform this action" and it doesn't show up in apps for me to enable permissions.
If I try to load it from browser, this device doesn't show up in my devices, even though I'm logged into it and my email and other google services seem to work.
Is there any other way to install the play store or flash the unit so that it's just like a normal retail unit. I noticed in the downloads there's an APK file that's called: "com.samsung.rms.retailagent.global_9.3.20180905-20180905inAPI21".
Clicking that just opens a blank black screen and doesn't seem to do anything else.
Any other suggestions would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!
Try factory reset, or flash original Samsung FW with odin.
Thank you, I'll look up odin, not flashed a phone in a few years.
