Hi there,
I'm using Gingerreal 2.0 as my first custom rom. It's really fast compared to stock and I like it very much.
I have one problem though: I've installed Alarm Clock Plus from the market but it doesn't seem to work. My alarm simply doesn't ring.
I didn't install the package with Samsung apps as I don't want all that crap. Should I install only the Samsung clock apk's? And if so, which ones should I install? (I see multiple apk's that seem to relate to clock/alarms)
Anyone can help me with this issue?
Thanks
Hi, I think I installed clockwidget.apk, deskclock.apk. Note though that it could also be a problem of DRM media drivers without which media fails to play or crashes, you need to copy drmprovider.apk, drmua.apk and sisodrmprovider.apk.
I also found I needed to install picotts.apk and ttsservice.apk as text-to-speech would always crash (and some 3rd party apps use it, thus they fail too).
You can just leave those apks and modify the zip of samsung apps and install those and see how it all works. I have working alarms, tts, and media playing on top of a very stable and fast ROM...
Can you give me more details on how to do that? I removed every apk from the zip file except the ones you mentioned. Then I tried to flash the zip with 'install zip from sdcard' but it ends up with installation aborted...
If you go to the gingerreal forum and search for the post by shinoxan on the 3rd page of the GR 2.0 thread, he posts a zip to fix the DRM problems; I used his zip and added the apks there. You could also try copying the apks directly using a rooted superuser shell...
His zip was hosted at megaupload, so I can't download that one. He mentioned to mount /system before flashing. I didn't mount /system yesterday so that might be the cause that it didn't work. I will try it tonight while /system is mounted.
Yes, I think that should fix it. PM me and i can send you a zip i used to update my TTS apps.
The packages from iandol worked ! Got my alarm back
Lets try to post the links:
Here is the mod I made for stopping TTS crashing with the clock and deskclock widgets, see if it works for you:

*** Archos Devices Only ***
This includes only the Market, Calendar, Talk, GenieWidget and "required gSync" files. Any apps that are in the Froyo Market are NOT included. Honestly, this is better as it makes a smaller appInstaller package and its more compatible.
You can download the following from the Market -- Gmail, VoiceSearch, YouTube and Maps(Navigation)
SUMMARY
v5-Stable -- (recommended!)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: If you've installed this or other gApps installers, you may have to RESET to successfully install gAppInstaller.
Note: You may get an error when you first open the Market, ignore the error. It may also take a few minutes before the Market updates from 2.09 to the current version.
Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)
Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it
Choose install core apps or choose to install your own packaged 'apps.zip' file located on the internal drive (not sdcard). There maybe a short delay after you tap an install button (its installing and you'll be notified when its done, about 5-10 seconds)
REBOOT!!
Sign into Market (Google Account Login)
Follow the Market FIX instructions below
MARKET FIX:
This will get you most missing apps from the market, except some "protect market apps" like NYTimes.
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market (Clear Cache then 'Force Stop' -- DO NOT clear data)
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Google Services Framework (Clear data then 'Force Stop')
REBOOT again
Market Fix video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=player_embedded#!
If you do this correctly you will find most missing apps like 'Copilot Live USA' in the Market. However, some apps require certain features (like a GPS or Cell chip) and will not show up in the Market. Basically, if you search for application "MyGPS" and "MyGPS" is coded to REQUIRE a GPS chip, then the Android market will NOT show this app in the Market for our Archos Device because is lacks a GPS chip.
MARKET LANGUAGE FIX (unverified):
Once you install the Market, it will probably be in English only. You may be able to fix this by putting your device into English via Settings menu, then put the device back into whatever other language you require.
RESET DEVICE:
Follow these instructions to reset your Archos Gen8: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=42437&start=0
12/23/2010:
v5 released and appears stable. This is the last froyo version since the Market auto-updates and NetworkLocation works.
kenyu73 - Thanks for the update, could you possibly test a couple of apps for me before I wipe and load this up?
TweetDeck
Slingplayer
Moblox
Those have never worked correctly on your build and I use them pretty regularly. Thanks! Looking forward to results.

Both Tweetdeck and Moblox-Lite open without any FC's. I couldn't find Slingplayer in the market.
Awesome. I'll have to wipe and rebuild with this tomorrow then. Thanks!
any reason to re-install from v3?
I used your v3 (thank you very much!) - it worked well. I have Market + select Google apps on my A70.
I'm still missing some apps on Market that I'm unable to find no matter what, even after following "the procedure" - LauncherPro, AWDLauncher, etc. Frankly I can sideload most apps anyhow.
Is there any point/reason in installing v4? (I'm hoping for a "no")?
Kenyu you are the man!

There are some "protected" apps that we'll never see. However, I can find LauncherPro(free) as well as ADW.Launcher(by AnderWeb) just fine.
kenyu73, Thanks for your updates.
My A70 will arrive in tomorrow and look forward to implement your guide soon.
Please keep on fine-tuning it and share with us.
Bit the bullet and loaded up the new app installer. It works perfectly. No more force closes on tweetdeck or when logging into the xda app. Thanks for this.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the v4 is really the final stable version. I've been using it all day today and not one single Market FC and I can find all apps in the Market (except protected apps). I did have to do the Market fix though.
The next issue I'd like to fix is the Voice Search GUI issue. The GUI interface isn't as clean as my cell phone, but I'm not sure if that's even fixable. Even though we install Voice Search directly from the Market, it still just sucks!!
Just a short note:
If you have already rooted your device with z4root a reboot is never reasonable.
To avoid lossing the root (which can of cource be reinstalled using z4root again) you can use the App HotReboot. This app reboots the device but the "root" still exists!
BTW: Thanks for your work!!!!

Downloads Stuck
I followed all instructions. My downloads on the market get stuck at starting download. ANy ideas?
Archos 101
excellent - thankyou kenyu
one question from a newbi
when i follow the link - I see an apk and two zip files
how do i use the two zip files ? appsinstaller and apps
thanks Stephen
Just use the apk file.
The apps.zip is just the apks that you should download from market, and the zipped installer is the source codes. If you just want to install the installer, then only the apk should matter to you.

All the apps in the zip files should be down-loadable from the Market directly. That zip is only there for people who cant download some apps because of their country of origin (like Maps). Some may use it so they don't have to download those apps.
Best bet is to install the core apps via the installer, reboot then d/l that apps you want from the Market.

I'd reboot again. However, it could be your internet connection. My Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) doesn't that sometimes.
Did you install over an existing Market install or was this a fresh install? If it was a re-install, as my instructions said, best bet is to do a reset and start over.
i decided to load some apks in the .system folder to see if i could get it to load my own apks to save me less time.. and in the process using this gapps apk vs the one with the GUI glitch worked very well.. like how i can download my own youtube etc so i have the choice of which google apps i want
These are the only apks that can be pushed to the froyo/system/app folder. Archos put the apk reference aliases (prefixed with a 0) into the read-only '/system/app' knowing we'd manually add them to the read/write test folder. Anything else in the app folder is ignored.
If Archos didn't do this, I doubt we'd even have Market access until the devce was fully rooted.

I am using the dsixda kitchen to build ROMs for my Desire HD. I have built a few ROMs now and on the whole they have worked OK. However there area few apps that are out of date and a few I would like by default. I know I can download the majority of them from the market but I would like them just there by default. I know apps get updated all the time so I will never get perfection so bear with me.
I have sucessfully added ASTRO, HandyCalc, ROM Manager SMS Backup & Restore and VISIONary+ and these work fine. I have also updated the .apk's for Facebook to 1.8.1, Google Maps to 6.0.3, Twitter to 3.0.0, YouTube to 2.3.4 & GMail to 2.3.5.2.
Now heres my problem - If I try to update Adobe Reader to 10.1.1 by replacing the AdobeReader.apk with the latest one it doesn't work. Once the ROM is built and installed I can see the .apk is there in /system/app however there is no icon in All Apps for Adobe Reader and I can't open .pdf's.
I also use Google Goggles & Skype, however if I add these .apk's to the ROM they appear to be installed and start OK however Goggles crashes as soon as the camera is started from the app and Skype lets you run through the initial setup but then says the app needs reinstalling.
Is there something I am missing or are there apps that can't be updated and others that can't be included in ROMs?

My guess is your using these apps in /system/app? If so keep in mind that most apps are built for /data/App. Sometimes applications act funny on system. If they are not on the system and on the data then that's just strange.

I was looking into that but I thought you needed extra script commands to get these recognised during 1st-time boot? At the moment I have these apps installed via the market, however I can't find where they are on the phone - I am using Astro to view/search and can't find the updated Adobe Reader, however it is installed.
I think I might be missing some fundamental stuff here...

/data/app
/data/app-private
Then you can also check and see if installed to the sdcard maybe?
/data is empty. On the sdcard there is an 'Android' folder and in here is a /data folder that has other folders (com.android.providers.media, com.facebook.katana, com.google.android.apps.books, com.google.android.apps.maps).
I have enabled hidden files in Astro (but it could be a limitation of Astro?). Astro has an application backup option that allows me to backup any of these added applications into .apk files and then restore them later.
Andy
/data shows empty when you try and view it with astro...
Root Explorer (and some others I'm sure) will show everything in there...

Thanks Going to be rebuilding shortly
I found this post whilst searching - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654739#
In there FireSokar mentions adding some lines to the update script. For the Desire HD it is an updater-script and the format/syntax is different can someone tell me what I need to add to the updater-script and where it should be put (at the very end, somewhere in the middle etc?)
Thanks

Hello.
Can someone tell me how to install the Social Hub on the Wanamlite ROM? I tried to copy back up the .apk file and reinstall it, but that does not work.
Any help would be much appricated.
Thanks
Wanam has also posted a samsung package with several samsung apps in it.
Social hub is included, see here for download: http://wanamlite.com/2012/04/03/wan...4-0-3-stable-blue-ics-stock-themed/#more-1223
It might be necessary to install more apk´s to make social hub work, I don´t know, because I´m glad I got rid of all that mess
Within CWM you can install apk files you´ve put on your sd-card. You should have Unknown Sources enabled to install them.
Thanks for your reply. Do I have to instal the samsung apps zip our is port in the hidden zip file?
I don´t know for sure. Download zip for sure
The way it looks, I would try to flash the zip from CWM. But that means then you´ll have all the samsung apps back.
If you don´t want that, delete the ones you do not want to have from the zip file before flashing.
I have downloaded the Samsungapps zip and the SocialHub apk file is in there. Is it just a case of installing the .apk file or are there other files that I will need to install too to get the SocialHub to work?
Thanks
Leave the folder structure in the zip as it is. Just delete the apk´s you do not need and give it a try.
Is it not working, start again now only with apk´s deleted of which you know for sure you do not need.
Thanks for all your help. I managed to install the Social Hub, but ran into another problem. When I try to set up an account with hotmail, it doesn't allow me to click on the link.
When I click it nothing happens. Facebook and Twitter work fine though.
Oh well. I guess I'm not gonna have the social hub.
Hi,
I think I broke my apk installer...sort of.
Since a few days I can't install any apks that are from Google Play, so I think the whole installer for external apps is broken.
Ok, I use Lucky Patcher and I think it has broken it, but only to use the pro features of Titanium and Poweramp...they don't want to recognize their keys from PlayStore for some reason or recheck them and won't find them even after reinstallation of both, app and key. I already tried it with XInstaller and with formating /system and reinstalling the OS via TWRP (running latest PA 5 legacy alpha for LG G2, but there seem to be no such issue known) but both have not helped. I only can install apps by coppying the apk manually to /data/app or /system/priv-app and restart the device. I also made a logcat log while trying to install LMT Launcher so I hope this can help to identify the problem.
If anybody knows a solution, please help, installing apps and updates the manual way is quite annoying.
EDIT: It looks like the Package Manager is trying to install apps on a non existing SD-Card. There is no possibility for an SD-Card on my G2 (only on Korean models) without USB-OTG but the ROM has the buttons in App Overview to move Apps to an SD-Card, so I think the installer tries the same. Is there a way to find out the path where it wants to install apps and Link this (with XPosed) to the real installation folder?
Hi I'm 16 and new to the whole rooting thing. I just rooted my phone yesterday for the first time and everything seemed to go perfectly. Everything works so much faster and my phone looks so much nicer with the new customization features. I'm glad I finally rooted it. Then I found out that my "Package Installer" does not work. Every time I try to uninstall an app or install an APK from the browser, it says "unfortunately Package Installer has stopped." I cannot even open "My Files" due to this. I also can't do things such as enabling the weather in my status bar. I thought that maybe it was just a faulty Resurrection Remix ROM but then I have tried a few other ones now too. If anyone can help me with this one problem I would appreciate it very much.

Try Wiping Dalvik Cache & Cache in Your Recovery & Reboot .. See The Error Occurs Again or Not .. Or Try Wiping The Cache & Data of the Package Installer Apk in Settings/Apps/Package Installer ..
If these Two Doesn't Work ,Try Clean Flashing The ROM Again ..
Even After The Clean Flash It occurs Means..Then Its The RR ROM Issue Which You Have Installed ..
Report It to the OP, ROM Thread In XDA or Other Sites On Where You Have Downloaded The ROM ,So That They Will Take A Look About This Error ..
Good Luck ..
Okay the above solutions did not work; however, I was wondering if it was possible to just uninstall and reinstall package installer. I know how to uninstall it, I just haven't tried to do it yet because I don't know where I would even find it or how I would reinstall it (since there won't be a package installer on my phone). Does anyone know anything that would help me try to solve the problem this way? Any other solutions altogether? Thanks!
Hey guys i just want add some input, i was having same problem on Samsung Galaxy S6 marshmellow. wiping cache/ delvick cache gave me only a little help. but this was basically because of one app called APP LOCK , i uninstalled that and then all is fine now.
Hope this help.
Thank you so so much!
Bro,
I have been struggling with my phone and the inability to load apps via apk or uninstall apps unless I go to Roy the play store and I could not figure out why it was driving me crazy. Just came across your poss and gave it a try. Always had that app on my phone but never used it. Uninstalled it and finally free. Thank you so much. I have suffered OMG
I had to remind myself that the solution to this problem on my phone is to re-enable Download manager. I disable Download manager as a way to keep from getting certain updates and if it's disabled package installer will stop working.
I am 11 and wants to help you
First download Magisk v20.4.
Then install it via twrp.
Download aptoide to computer.
Run adb install <your file directory> in cmd （or powershell and add .\ before adb）.
At last open aptoide and turn on update for system apps,install beta apps and root installation. It will request root access.Grant the root access to it.Done.You can install any app on aptoide.If not on aptoide send the apk to me and I will upload it.

Here's a fix.
If the same problem occurs throughout serveral Roms, And you use a custom Theme, Then the theme is "probably" the issue.
Happened to me on both SpaceOS and Odyessy, I changed the theme to default and it worked.
Maybe it works?
I don't know why the theme messes the package installer up tho.
