Vending.apk ?

I have the vending.apk in the app folder, but once booted android it is not in the menu with the other applications, same thing happens for example with the terminal.apk...

Make sure you're using Market for 2.x.
You can also verify this by using Astro and attempt to install /system/app/Vending.apk.

The problem was that i had not installed gtalk service and some other dependencies, now the market is installed but whe i try to start it it closes immediately, logcat gives auth errors, maybe i have to setup a google account in the setupwizard first... Thank you.

[Q] Installing via Astro

Hi, I downloaded the Cosmic Flow live wallpaper and put the apk file onto my SD card. But when i open the file in astro, there is no install option. I tried downloading wallpaper from several different sites but none of them work. Any ideas? This method has worked for me previously.

Maybe your "PackageInstaller.apk" is missing/corrupted. It's the app which installs non-market apps.
It's explained here -->
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones

make sure you have enable non-market apps>click the apk which you want to download>click "open app manager">click "install"
if you cannot install an app like this then i dont know watch goin on....

Yes ,so finally you found the root cause of your problem - missing file
I strongly suggest you flash a new ROM.
Else , download your ROM once again.
Copy the Package installer app from the downloaded ROM file and place it into /system/app

guys why when i put an app in system/app it doesn't install it automatically?
even after the reboot, i have to install it manually...

ANDROID 5.0 apk

Enjoy! Currently running on LiquidSmooth 10.21 the only thing needed js to uninstall the orginal application and then restart your phone. After just install app using a file manager. The google keyboard and google now launcher is flashable through recovery.
* GMAIL: Try changing to default theme, instead of third party themes. It fixed my crashes with composing emails.

The lengthy process to get drive working for me..
USAN03 said:
Okay so as far as drive is concerned.. Youll need to delete documentsUI apk and the drive apk. Also you need to place the correct .so files into system/libs. You need to locate the lib files first and type .bak afterwards. Then the lib file that you download below needs to be placed into the folder. I recommend deleting orginal apks, restarting phone, then do the .bak for libs, and then copy over the lib files to the system/lib and restart phone. Extract the drive lib zip, open folder, then copy over the libs to system/libs. When you copy over verify that the .so is the same exact size as they were downloaded. They should not be 0.00. Then change permissions to -rw-r--r-- And restart phone.
** Here is a screen record to show you lib files...

Youre right about the gmail app. As far as the cal apk i had to uninstall the google app and cal storage apk then restart the phone.

Is this for only this phone or any android phone ? Also how can I uninstall the system apps like the calendar and others

Your phone has to be rooted in order to delete system apps and as far as other phones I don't see why it wouldn't work. I believe the only requirement is android 4.4.4

In messenger if I press attach icon it fc.

And you aren't getting FC's when you try to add a calendar event?
I followed the same steps (deleted google calendar and calendar storage, rebooted and installed the new app. I'm still getting force closes...
Edit: Dammit. Can someone please provide a backup of their calendarstorage.apk? I stupidly deleted mine without backing up after reading USAN's post and now I can't get any calendar to properly work, even when I download the official one from the Playstore.

As far as calendar I can't get it to work at all. The gmail I do have working properly now. With the only step done was taking off my material theme.

That worked. Thank you!

1) uninstall the old version (titanium)
2) move the downloaded apk to system\priv-app, and change the permissions (rw-r--r--)
3) reboot
4) change the buildprop (user too userdebug)
Gmail, messenger, agenda work for me without any issues on CM11s 38R

Can't install sony apps on Cm12.1 (aicp)

Hi everyone,
I would like to install sony apps on my Xperia SP running aicp (no tangerine kernel). Problem is, apks won't install (app cannot be installed).
As far as I learned, it is because you have to disable signature verification, which I tried thanks to the thread on sont cross device development and with lucky patcher.
The two mehthods above had failed. When I restarted my device with the modified services.jar or the patches, it rebooted, started, then kernel adiutor says "applying settings on boot". When it finishes, device restarts again and keeps restarting until i delete lucky patcher or reinstall the original services.
now my question is, do you guys know a fix for this? Is it kernel's fault? Should i download tangerine? Is it because of kernel adiuitor? Are there other ways to install on cm?
Please respond, and thank you for reading!
Kind regards,
Deleunes254

did you try to push the app into system with the right permissions ?
or search for something called universal apk for music or album or movies on google

im using each and every sony app working fine (latest)
on aicp r4 ..

Lucky patcher itself? No i only installed lucky patcher apk, enabled it in xposed, restarted but then things happened. For the services.jar method, I set permissions to rw-r--r-- as told. Is it a fault maybe in my cellphone? @flash- maybe if i later cleaninstall Aicp10, which I probably have to clean install, and I do a clean whipe, maybe it would then work? :/ It's a reaaally strange bug and don't know how it's happening :/ google wasn't my friend this time :/
Gonna try universal apk

Xinstaller?
Some other voodoo I am not aware of?
Tried all of the above but couldn't install the Music app from the link you posted though the Videos app got installed. Albums didn't works either.
Cmon dude spill it out. Knowledge increases by sharing, not by saving

Got the music app working now....just pushed the apk in system>app with correct permissions and boom....started working

Hey! Can any one test this zip. Just flash this in recovery. I haven't tested cause my phone is in service centre (slipped from my hand).
After flashing see if music is compatible in play store or can be installed manually.
Please backup ur rom before flashing.
Please report if it works.

You don't need to reflash the ROM to remove system apps. Either go into the /system/app folder with a file explorer with root permissions & delete the apk or folder containing the apk or use something like Sys app remover to get rid of it. Just tried installing Music via adb and although I was successful, the bloody app refused to start. You know the standard Android "unfortunately, app has stopped working blah blah" nonsense. Used ES File Explorer to remove it.
Also dirty flashing probably won't help since it leaves what you installed as it is and you installed these apps. So either do a clean installation or remove them like I mentioned.

You mean just copy paste the apk in system/app folder with ES and change permission to rw-r-r? Did that and also tried it with adb but no luck. Same old "unfortunately, music has stopped" crap. Might have to try the other way now - flash the ported apps and update them via playstore.
Is it working for you properly? From where and which version of Music did you install?
