Update a system app with apk - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

My Note 9 runs the 10.1.07.42 version of Call app.
Is it possible to update it with apk that I found in the sammobile?
I get always the "app not installed" message.

you get the error message because the apk is not compatible with your n9 and that can be because for many reasons (different os/ui version etc.). otherwise, it would let you install it

Thank you very much Raul.I thought that Android 9 and One UI it's the same for all devices.So the only way to update system apps is when they are official updates?

Official or compatible

I wouldn't recommend that you update the Call Software manually. I would advise you wait until it has been released by Samsung.

Permission Apk with full control

It appears that for some reason, there are Huawei users out there who don't have the full control Permissions App is their settings.
I've read particularly, that P8 users don't have control of their permissions settings.
Huawei released an App that modifies the system a while ago and put it on Play Store - for some reason I can't find it anymore so I've put up a link here.
It's called PM Plus, it's a very small apk (48kb) but it's excellent and it's the first thing I install on any Huawei I get.

Here's Phone Manager .apk that works on B370. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw1wBQi9rn3WZWNyR1pkOHkwc0U/view?usp=docslist_api
Just update the application.
The version from the OP post works for me on emui 3.1 as well (l04)
Mega link missing, please check it.

It is best to update the B380, Phone Manager are working well and does not need any changes. In version B370 Phone Manager.apk you must copy it to / data / app /. (Phone Manager application can not be Installed), restart your phone. In case of problems you need to uninstall the Phone Manager.apk update. Root necessary !! Valid for H60-L04.

Stuck on Marshmallow?

Hi,
I just received my new phone, and I realised that I am still on oxygenOs 3.5.4. I checked the system updates, and it says that there aren't any updates available, but I see that nougat was released in January.
Is the Nougat update something that I need to trigger manually? Is there any reason to not update to Nougat? I guess all the kinks are pretty much ironed out by now.
Cheers!

You should have received it by now. You can manually download the ROM and either sideload it or place it in its folder.

You could try installing a free VPN app, changing the region to Canada or Germany and checking again. This is how I've done it.

I am facing the same issue. I got my 3T yesterday and it says no update available. I have not rooted my phone and wont root it unless absolutely necessary. Where can I download the official Nougat ROM from? And what is the procedure to sideload it?

You can get the update, and instruction on how to install from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/rom-oxygenos-3-5-4-mm-ota-update-t3519074
Sideload instructions also here from OnePlus: http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3t/oneplus_3t_oxygenos_4.0.3/
Although the download right from OP only lists 4.0.3, and then Open Beta 3 and 4. So I don't know if this just not updated, as OTAs for 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 have already gone out:

Were this Midnight Black phones?
^ No, Gunmetal version.

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro! Help!!!

I recently bought this phone from a website that is from my country (Romania), not from China and i don't know if it has the latest firmware on it.It has Android 6.0.1 with android security patch level September 1,2016. If i check for updates,it doesn't find any. My baseband version is A9100ZCU1API2. What i'm trying to say is that i don't know if the guys from the website put on the phone a custom rom or not,because if they did there are chances that the phone will never receive software updates and that's my concern. For example, if i buy the phone from China, will it come with google services installed? Because my phone has google play store on it. I don't know if i should download the latest firmware from sammobile and install it with Odin, but the phone might have the bootloader locked or some other stuff and it can't install the firmware and i will be left with the phone bricked or stuck in dowload mode...What do you guys say, should i let it like this for a while and wait for android 7 maybe or it's fine to reinstall the firmware from sammobile?And if i reinstall the firmware will i have google services on it? Thank you!
If you have factory room, you should already got the notification about new FW, as API3 is ancient. I believe latest is AQB2 and Nougat room is in testing phase..
What's saying in Settings/About/SW info/Build number?

I attached a picture with my build number.My main question is if i can reinstall the firmware with odin and that i won't have any surprises...
It's newest build, and I believe it's factory default, so you'll get Nougat directly once it is out
SM-A9100
If i go to settings at the status device tab,it says Official....
I have one more question...Why i can't receive notifications from whatsapp,facebook/messenger, etc.... I think this is a problem on phones that come from China or don't have an international software support.... Is it because Google is not supported officialy on this kind of devices or what is the problem? Be for i got the A9, i had a Leeco Le Max 2 and it had the same problem with the notifications
You need to disable power optimization for these apps, this option pops up from time to time, or you can find it in smart manager, under power options or something. Can not give you exact location as we don't have same SW versions
SM-A9100
I don't have that option...i know what are you talking about but i can't find apps optimisation...
Hi Scrapperr,
Sorry to see you're having trouble with such a great phone
I've had the same issue you're describing - the software looks 'untouched' and 'legit' - but it's not, it has been tampered with, just check your Knox counter and you'll see what I mean (https://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-check-knox-and-samsung-official-status.874951/).
App optimization is hidden in Settings / Battery / Detail - once you have the apps listed, select the app that has issues with Notification and go with 'App power saving' - 'Turned off'.
It probably won't work - unfortunately.
I ended up using t'shock's ROM - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-basicplus-1-t3587455 (BasicPlus) - very stable, good battery life, notifications working , but you might have issues with the SD cards - does not recognize cards larger than 32 GB and you might need to format them, in order to be usable with the phone.
If you go with the newest ROM available - listed on https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a9--/SM-A9100/, you'll notice it does not have Play Store / Play Services and then you'll have to read https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/help/galaxy-a9-pro-chinese-how-to-install-t3388126
Good luck and enjoy using your phone
Hey, Megaurs, thanks for this light stock Rom proposal, somehow I missed it.
Just 2 questions, did you maybe tried Tungtata Rom in order to compare these 2, and what would be advantages of Basic room vs.Tungtata
And, if this Basic room is QB3, isn't it based on latest stock available?
SM-A9100
Hi Djurkash,
Testing Tungtata is on my ToDo list, will get to it eventually - if you get to try it, please share your experience
You're right, QB3 is the latest release, as per sammobile.com.
Cheers

Nokia Launcher

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/hmd-g...okia-launcher-9-0010-08-android-apk-download/
I saw the following update on APK Mirror.
I can't get it installed. I get a update message, but it fails to install.
Can someone tell me what this app does? Duh I know what a launcher is. ?
I own a Nokia 8
I think that someone extracts the launcher from the Android Pie firmware on Nokia 7 Plus. It's not an update.
Among other things it's simply an adaptation of the AOSP launcher3, not a real Nokia Launcher.

cri347 is right, it is the Quickstep launcher from Nokia 7 plus on Android Pie. Think it support only Android Pie, therefore you can't install on your Nokia 8.

Then you should wait till you get updates for those apps and then it will be compatible with the OS and they run smoothly.

Mine is chinese
As from some others covered already, it depends on the app itself if its ready for Android 12. Would recommend to keep an eye on app updates
I wonder if the problem is Android 12. Unless the app never gets updated they would surely already have adapted it for A12.
Especially big companies like my bank.
