[Q] Install Samsung Apps apk

Hello,
I would like to install Samsung Apps on my miui rom but if I try to only install the apk it fails, I tried from adb and I got a "missing shared library" so I would like to know witch file I have to send on my phone to make it work.

Most Samsung apps cannot be installed on a CM7 based ROM such as Miui since they require the Samsung Framework to function. I suggest finding replacements for whatever Samsung apps you are missing in the Market.

Well I could get it from a samsung rom if it's only a file to add.
Or is this the framework.jar ?

[Q] Installing .apk

Okay this feels really dumb, but I'm trying to install an .apk
Easy enough, right? I find the apk via a file explorer and click to install. Android prompts me to allow apks to be installed, I allow them. Then the installation starts. Its going well, but suddenly the Note 3 restarts and the apk isn't installed.
I've factory reset it a few times and tried multiple times. I'm running stock. build number JSS15J.N900AUCUBMJ5 and the apk I'm trying to install is from the humble bundle. (particularly Ravensword 2, Star command, but even trying to install other apps via apks cause my note 3 to reboot)

Make sure that allow mock locations in checked in developer options and unkown sources is checked in security settings. If those are both checked and it still doesn't work you can push the app into the system manually, I use ES file explorer. Retrieve your apk from downloads, long press and copy it, go into device/system/app and paste, change apps permission to rw-r-r. To change the permissions long press the app, then click more on the bottom right then properties/change the permission to rw-r-r. you must be rooted to do it the manual way.

I turned on Mock Locations in dev mode. Unfortunately my devices is not rooted, Although I feel like it should still install normally. I've checked the APKs and they work on an S4 and LG G2, which are both not rooted.
Is it possible i just got a defective phone? bad software? bad hardware?

What OS are the other phones running? 4.2, 4.3?

Try using APK installer via the Play Store

I'm running 4.3 on the note, and the G2 is running 4.2.2 but the S4 is running 4.3. Also I'm finding that I'm unable to install anything now, even from the play store.

[Q] CONTACTS in Galaxy Gear? Sync? Tablet Talk

I don't see CONTACTS in my Sync options in Galaxy Gear. How can I get CONTACTS on my Galaxy Gear?
My Tablet Talk can't access my contacts; when I click on the magnifying glass, it tells me "This device does not support the built in Android contact chooser"
Is there a contacts APK or something I'm missing? I exported my vcf file and put it in my Galaxy Gear SD root, but I don't know how to load it so that my Tablet Talk can see.
Please help because Tablet Talk is amazing, but I would love to be able to choose contacts and see my contact names instead of just numbers.

Install the People app via the null_ installer, then tether Internet (and spoof WiFi/Mobile if necessary), go into Settings > Accounts, and sync Contacts.

Where do I go to access the null_installer to be able to install the People app? Is it under { } Exposed setting? I already installed the framework to spoof WIFI.

It's one of the options when you install null_ rom - flashable installer at nullproject.net
It may be available loose but I don't know where.

There's no way to access the option again to install components you didn't select when you first install the ROM? I guess I didn't select the PEOPLE app when I first put in the Null ROM
Is there any way you can provide the APK? I tried installing the Contact.apk from another thread, but it's for ICS and it just crashes for me. I believe I need it for Jelly Bean?

null_ ROM has a no wipe base so AFAIK you can just reflash it and choose whatever new components you need.

In the Null ROM ZIP file, it has the folder tweaks/apps/contacts/ Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk
I installed Contacts.apk but it still crashes. I believe I need to install the ContactsProvider.apk as well for it to work/store contacts, but I'm having difficulty installing the Provider.apk... when I try it with MobileGo, it says authentication failed. When I try to instal it through the Galaxy Gear, it says Application not installed. Any help?

If you have custom recovery I would just make a backup, copy the backup to your PC, then re-flash null with the extra options.
If settings/whatever somehow get wiped (I'm pretty sure they don't), just restore from your backup, then you can tinker.
But I'm pretty sure it works to just install over - it'll be less time than tinkering around and possibly still ending up with a half-broken install.

There's no way to manually install the ContactsProvider.apk? I installed Contacts.apk just fine but have no idea where to place manually or successfully install ContactsProvider.apk...
Sorry, but where can I access Custom Recovery? Is that an App I have to install in the Gear? Can I just backup with MobileGo?

WOOHOO I got it to work.
I used Root Explorer and allowed access to the System folder. I just copied the ContactsProvider.apk to system/app and now I can open the Contacts App without crashing. YAY!!

Help needed re-installing system app (non root)

Hi all,
I'd make a silly mistake earlier and I need help. This is what happened:
1) download and installed an apk from apk mirror (Google Phone);
2) the apk installed over the app already installed on my phone;
3) when opening the app, it says "device not supported";
4) download the correct apk but unable to install as app is already installed (the earlier installed apk);
My phone is not rooted (64/128). Any ideas on how to reinstall the correct app without getting the "device not supported" message?
Thank you and any help is greatly appreciated.

Can you try to disable the app and then to enable it back?

There isn't an option to disable the app as it is a system app. However, I'd managed to get this sorted. My solution - factory reset the phone! All is well now, despite the fact that I was unavailable for nearly an hour downloading and reconfiguring all my daily apps
Thanks, anyways.

You can disable system apps, you can't uninstall them

Note8 and correct functionality bugs and errors.

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?
