Hi all
I was used to have some apks in my Dropbox account and able to download and install them from there without any problem. Since the update to Android 10, I am unable to do so, as when I try to open an apk from Dropbox it says: "Can't open file. Please download an app that can open this file". Any idea why and also what can I do?
Thanks

Mods please delete. I figured out my errors and all is well.
If anyone is having trouble with this as I was, please refer to these instructions. I'm sorry, I forget who posted them but credit to whoever you are. Big help.
1. Transfer the apk from your phone to your computer. It's probably in a place like data/app or data/data or the like
2. Open the apk with 7zip. Do not extract the whole thing, just open it. Inside you'll see a folder called "res"; transfer that somewhere on your computer.
3. Inside the res folder you'll see a bunch of folders. The images you want to edit are usually in a folder labeled "drawable", but you may have to look elsewhere
4. Find the background image you want to edit. It might be labeled widget_bg or something helpful like that.
5. Edit it how you want. In the case of transparency, you want to delete the background and make it entirely transparent. Save it in the same format and do not change the name. (Note- if your file has .9.png in it, you have to open your edited version using draw9xpatch or whatever in the Android SDK and save it through that as well)
6. Drag the res folder with your modified images back into the archive, using 7zip. You might want to use a duplicate of the apk, just to have the original on hand in case something goes wrong.
8. Place the modified apk into the place-apk-here-for-modding folder in the APK Manager folder
9. Open up script.bat. Select your project using option 22.
10. Do the following things- Extract APK (1), Zip APK (3), zip as regular apk (2), sign apk (4)
At this point you should have a signed version of the apk in the place-apk-here-for-modding folder. You can transfer it to your phone now and install it. Or install it directly onto your phone through apk manager if you have ADB enabled.

Wait a minute, you click on the application from your file manager, opening it in your App Manager, and it says Application not Installed?
That makes no sense at all. The only time I've encountered that is when I've tried using an app that was stored on my SD card, which wasn't put in. That app was on my homescreen too.
I'll have the .apk on my SD card somewhere and I'll try to install in through a file explorer with the error message above.
I tried installing through Dropbox, but that also gets me the error message. I've uninstalled all applications of the same name because that's what you're supposed to do. It's weird, I know. I'm trying to work through it right now.

Same problem
Hello gentlemen, i have some problem with installing "slide it keyboard" and others applications. The messages is: application not installed. I tried everything, but nothing works... Please help me.
HTC desire 2.2 froyo
EDIT: I used a android market link to open up root explorer and was able to copy the file
Sometimes when I install applications, I have to download an apk file to my "download" folder.
Then the apk file gets launched and the application is installed.
My question is: After installation, can I delete any of the apk files that remain in my download folder?
Thanks in advance.

yes you can.. but make sure you don't plan to uninstall and install again, because re-installing would require the downloaded apk.
hit thanks if it's the right thing to do!
I tried to install the DragonXia Kernel but I can't open .zip files. I have tried to redownload it, and I could open it on my computer so the .zip is not corrupt. I get a message saying "This file is too big to be open inside this device" (this can't be right as it is 12.8MB) . I can't open any other .zips either. I am running CM 14.1 with stock kernel. Any help would be appreciated. :good:
Same issues,try another file manager in google play store,it's work..btw why you need open kernel dragonxia? Just flash in twrp
hi
install 7 zipper on google play store
inspect or install?
No need to open a zip file if it's for installation.
as stated in the first answer to this thread
If you want to manage your zip archives (and the rest of the stuff inside your device) try this app, available here in the xda-verse: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691&nocache=1
Give a big Thanks to the dev (and maybe something else also...
Hi Everyone!
I followed the instructions to upgrade to Nougat from MM, this includes a file named update_data_full_hw_la.zip
http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017/01/huawei-p9-plus-vie-l29-nougat-b354-latin-america.html
The step that I cant seem to install this file, I tried:
Renaming file to update.zip and try to apply it through forced update (DIDNT WORK)
Extract all the content into dload folder (DIDNT WORK)
The content has an UPDATE.APP file and multiple folders. The forced update goes really fast and does not seem to install anything.
The ROM itself does not have many apps so I guess this zip should have everything else that is missing from the ROM but I cant seem to install it properly.
Any help on this? How am I supposed to install it?

try the alternative method:
Alternative Method
Remove update files from your phone, if you have copied before
Download Huawei updater from This Link
Download latest Hisuite from official huawei website
Open huawei update, tick in custom rom, in custom rom version type VIE-L29C605B354
In Custom rom URL copy this link http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1257/g104/v71996/f1/
Then tick custome port, don’t change it.
now connect your phone with pc and make sure Hisuite recognize and connected properly. then just open Hisuite menu and change network settings as shown in image below.
Easy-Nougat-Update-2.png
Then in hisuite click check for update
it should start downloading and installing firmware
Thanks, but that method won't work as the ROM itself was already applied, therefore, HiSuite returns a message saying that I'm on the most updated version.
The file m trying to apply should contain apps like the calculator, Bluetooth, compass, etc. These apps are not part of the ROM but they come on a separate zip file.
The issue seems to be that apps are not compatible with the Nougat ROM already installed.
Any other thoughts?
If any of you has an update zip containing all remaining apps, please share!
The problem u are facing could be 2. Cust and oeminfo but fitting the package and /of rom. And the two packages need to be installed immediately with starting with the hw update, after that the normal one. Tell me which version and cust we are talking about?
