Dear All,
Usually I do not have any problem update any Samsung apps download from APKMIRROR including touchwizhome....After updated to May Security Patch, today, I try to install 6-8 latest Samsung apk from APKMIRROR like messages, weather, touchwizhome etc all failed with 'package conflicts with an existing package with the same name'...So, Samsung started to block old model to update to latest version?

1)You can update above mentioned system apps from either play store or galaxy apps If available officially for your device by samsung
2)If you still forcefully wanted to update those apps then ofcourse you need to root your device and replace the downloaded system apps to directory system/app or system priv-app respectively their original location by renaming them same as the original apk ( For eg. To update message you need to rename the downloaded apk same as you will find in system/priv-app/message related folder and apk in it)
I can't manually update the apps from app mirror. Touchwiz home 9 is there and I want it but it says it's corrupt and can't be installed.
samsung note 8 system applications can not be updated to the new version from the apk file (the original manufacturer file from apkmirror) the system shows the application not installed without any information about the error. It does not install any updates from Samsung Apps. My applications - empty, does not detect anything. Same Google Play. For example, the camera version 7.62.2 in the phone, and the new one is 8.50, you can not update it, so do the other system.

He meant, some of the Samsung system apps doesn't show updates available in the Galaxy Apps store or Play Store. There are updates to certain apps, like the camera and dialer on APK Mirror, but when you download them and try to install them, it gives an error and says the app wasn't installed. That is his issue, that he can't update some of his apps.

Some of the apps you're trying to update, like the camera, can't be updated by side-loading or downloading an APK, because it's a system app. You can't update system apps. In the case of the camera, I wouldn't want to update that anyway, because even though it's a higher version, it's not necessarily meant for the Galaxy Note 8, because the "newer" versions remove the ability to use the optical 2x zoom, which I'm sure isn't supposed to happen. I think those are updated camera APKs for different models, maybe like the A- or J-series.
What you could do, if you are rooted, is to just replace the system APKs with the updated ones you downloaded, but I wouldn't recommend that, because sometimes the updates to system apps might also depend on updates to other library files which you don't get with the APK or can't download and then might cause some problems and issues.
As far as your question about Bixy and News Republic: I have no idea. I don't use Bixby, so I don't even know how it works.

For the 2nd question, have you tried opening Bixby, go to Settings, then go to Cards, then ensure news republic is toggled on (assuming it's installed on your phone in the first place)?
no is not working that, i not see this app in screen.

Hmm if you have the app installed and it doesnt show up there in Bixby, then maybe that app is not compatible with Bixby yet?
Hi. I have this device since last Saturday. I was trying today to see if I can install Google apps, because I like stock feeling of android. Now I won't keep them, because without root I can't freeze system apps, and so I would have 2 galleries, 2 message apps etc running in background.
I tried many of them, but when I tried Google phone play store says my device is not compatible.
So I tried to download the APK (arm64) but I can't install it.
Is there a way to bypass this limitation and, why the hell I can't install such an important Google app?!
You must root your smartphone with magisk then you must download Google framework install It and then download Google dialer apk not from Google play store. I have not problem and use It by default phone app
I'm trying to update Blokada VPN. I downloaded the APK from their site. I clicked on the install button that popped up. I was then taken to a screen to tell android whether to install the app. I can't get past giving the apk permission to install. It never does. I then uninstalled the older version thinking it was somehow preventing the system from updating it. Now the apk still does not install. it gets to the permission screen and goes no further. What else do I need to do to get the apk to install.
I am on the latest update from verizon.
got it to work
I downloaded the APK from chrome rather than dolphin browser and it installed.
