Downloaded an apk pack from the interweb and installed a few apps.
Loaded it up via pc and then clicked on file and it installed. When I go into the market its saying I don't have this app installed? I also installed a game and under settings this appears but not the app?
Is there a way of updating this app as cannot update it via market ? Tried the non paid version of Titanium back up but no use. From searching read Trackdog app. maybe able to do this. Anyone confirm
Is there a way or is the market such it wont let it update?
I was gonna ask same question
I don't think there's any solution for what you are asking. But you can try this: install AppBrain App Market from the market. This app will show all your installed apps, no matter if you installed them straight from the market or other sources. There's an option to sync the apps with AppBrain and if a newer version of your installed apps comes out on the market it will prompt you to update. Obviously, you won't be able to update the apps straight from the market (if they were installed from other sources), but at least you will know there's a new version of the app in the market and then you can try to get the new version from alternate sources. I use this app for Google Plus and some other apps from the market which are not available for my country. This isn't a solution, merely an intermediate step to find out if your apps need to be updated I think Trackdog does exactly the same thing as AppBrain.
I'm new to nook, but so far I've managed to get my new tablet running nearly everything I want via golauncher and manual apk files. Youtube, reader, google email are all good. Only thing really missing is the Android market.
Based on reading through this forum and the KF and others, the patterns seems to be people getting the google services loaded, rebooting, getting andorid installed and then it crashing shortly after launch. This is also where I am at and I've tried what must be 10 different versions of the market. I did notice that different versions produce slightly different results. I wonder if the market versions are dependent on certain versions of the google framework service package?
I think I read on some other forums that the Android market place must run from the "system" area or something. if you copy it to the right place and change the file permissions correctly, it apparently runs ok where as it fails elsewhere. Is that where it is failing for us I wonder? It's not in the right place and we don't have root to put it there?
I read that titanium backup can convert a user apk in to a system apk. Is the market app a user apk? If so, has anyone tried converting it to a system apk with titanium and trying to letthe package installer installis as a system verison ??
As I said, just a n00b. so please excuse any silly suggestions. Just trying to chip in with ideas
cheers
the only issue with that would be that titanium requires root
Could it be backed up/converted as a system app from a nook color and then imported to nook tablet?
I'm running a Moto X 2013 (XT1053) with 4.4.4 stock rom and currently not rooted. For years I've use the gallery app called QuickPic. This app was recently sold to Cheetah Mobile, and I've decided that I just want to stay with the last version by the original developer and not update this app anymore. I uninstalled QuickPic from my phone, deleted the entry from the Play Store list of apps currently or previously installed, and then side loaded the appropriate apk for the version of QuickPic I'm interested in keeping. When I go into the Play Store, it is still showing QuickPic for update. I didn't think side loaded apps were associated with the Play Store. Can someone clarify or suggest a method to disassociate this app with the store.
Sideloaded apps are if their signature is the same as the one in the Play Store. If you search here in the forums, there are at least a couple of QuickPic 4.5.2 apks (pre-Cheetah) with different signatures you can download, or you can download & install the TBO Updater from Team BlackOut here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283828 and install the "Dual-Themed QuickPic" from Iced Venti Mocha in the "Main BlackOut Apps" menu.
Alternately, you can use Titanium Backup Pro to break the Market link for the version you have installed.
Excellent - thank you. I'll look for the alternate apk's. I have Ti Backup Pro, but didn't think it worked without root. I'll probably go back to root after doing the 5.1 update.
You would need root, yes. Here's one page you can get the apk from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-quickpic-v4-5-2-classic-version-t3204543
I think there is another but can't find it at the moment.
Also found it here:

I want to be very clear that I have no problem paying for apps, supporting developers and that sort of thing. I recently installs VMOS to spoof my location in an app.. a dating app that is free, and also for free the app allows you to browse users in other parts of the world.
However I wondered if I could do the same thing with Tinder.
The issue I've ran into is I cannot get Tinder to install within VMOS.
So my main/actual phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 + running android 9.
And the fake/vmos is 1.0.49
I uninstalled tinder on my main phone, went to google and found a website where I could download tinder 11.6.0 apk… but I needed something called SAI (split apk installer)
So I downloaded the apk, then opened the files within SAI and tinder installed and works without a problem....
However when I go to my fake phone and download the same files from the same sources tinder does not install and gives an error pretty much saying "failed to install- app not installed- Application is incompatible with this device"
I am obviously not sure what the exact reason is which is why I'm here.
When I tell it I want more details as to why it did not install I get "java.lang.Exception: application is incompatible with this device at com.aefyr.sai.installer2.impl.rootless.RootlessSaiPiBroadcastReceiver.onReceive(RootlessSaiPiBroadcastReceiver.java:57)
at android.app.LoadedApk$ReceiverDispatcher
$Args.run(LoadedApk.java:908)
at
android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:739) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:95)
at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:135)
at android .os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:61)
Obviously that doesn't really tell me anything in particular.. because I don't have much programming/script knowledge.
But it makes me feel there are protections in place to keep people from doing what I'm trying to do.
So if anyone is willing to help that would be awesome!
I'm unable to get the app to install via the play store.. because it doesn't even show up there by searching directly.
But when I follow a link to bring up the app within the play store it just pretty much says it's not compatible.
So is it because of protections being in place... something wrong with my vmos environment or what?
When I tried installing it on fake phone I had root turned off along with developer options also turned off.
I had install apps from unknown sources turned on.
I'm not sure what other info to provide...
I can get the same apk to work on the real phone and install..
Just unable to get it to install on vmos.
I tried File Transportation in vmos and that didn't work either... it times out or whatever.
So in general... whether it be tinder or whatever app.. how do you get something to install when play store says incompatible and file trapsportation does not work?
Maybe the apk file I have is in fact incompatible with something within vmos??
I tried some stuff within xxxxx but was still unable to get the app I mentioned earlier to install. Not really sure what needs modified/patched or whatever.
any ideas please? how does someone get an app to install within vmos that doesn't seem to want to?
Working

What I usually do is use the root permissions in vmos to force install the apk as a system app through lucky patcher. Before doing this I would reccomend making sure that the version you are using is compatible with the vmos android os version you are running before attempting and that the package isn't considered corrupted. Also please note that when installing an apk as a system app it becomes difficult to uninstall. If you'd want to remove the icon then you would need to disable the package also through lucky patcher. I'm just throwing the idea out there and I'm not sure this solution would work for any other so hopefully it'd work for you.
Has anyone had any luck getting vmos running on an android 9 device??
If so pls let me know so I don't waste too much time trying I tried the standard one and it didn't work so I'm downloading the pro version which will take a long time
I recently upgraded from an Android 7 phone (Moto G5) to an Android 9 phone (Moto G7). I like to back up all of my apps that I plan on using in the future, using a backup app like ML Manager, and installing them locally with a file browser, like FX. On my new phone, there are some APK backups that I can't install from a file browser; even if I actually download them though the Google Play Store, back them up, uninstall them, and then try to install that backup on the same phone, it won't work. Not every app does this, and at first, I thought it was only paid apps that were giving me problems, so I chalked it up to DRM, but a bunch of free apps won't work, either.
I've tried alternate methods of installation, too, like using a terminal emulator (see the screenshot, using the app Manual Camera as an example), and ADB on a PC, which results in an INSTALL_FAILED_VERIFICATION_FAILURE error. I've searched for this error and followed directions, like disabling Play Protect (which I never enabled on this phone, anyway), but nothing works. Is this just how Android is now? Did something change so that it's harder to install backups? I tried all of this on my wife's phone, too, which also runs Android 9, and I got the same errors. Any help would be appreciated, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

Some apps are different for noghat and pie Android
So there is no grantee that you can install all APK that you backed up on noghat for pie
Download them from Google
It should completely work
Make sure that you have free space on internal storage and when you wanna download them make sure that download arm/arm64 version

Yeah, downloading from the Play Store definitely works, I'm just curious as to why backing up an app downloaded from the Play Store won't install from the APK *on the exact same device.* I'm a stickler for keeping local backups of everything, but I'm more curious than anything at this point.

Well there is a another reason
That is some app install with APK
And other one install with APKS
which you should install them with SAI and have two or three file to install (even more)
And when you backup from apks apps it doesn't backup all files to install it again
But at play store it install automatically

Holy crap, dude, I had NO idea that split APKs were a thing. I downloaded Split APK Installer from the Play Store, and I can make and restore local backups again. Thank you so much for the info, it was exactly what I needed!
