Install App From Internet Browser - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What if you need to install an apk from sdcard but you don't have a file manager installed yet, and to make things worse you don't have internet access to download it from the market!
Well, there's a solution to that. Provided by every internet browser available.
(I suppose you have one installed
Here's what you need to do:
1. Put the apk file in the main directory your sdcard. Rename it to something very short for easy typing. In this example, I will use "fm.apk".
2. Boot your device. Goto Security Settings and check "Unknown Sources".
3. Open your internet browser. In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/<filename>.apk". In our example above it should look like this: "file:///sdcard/fm.apk"
4. Press "Go".
That's it! Installation started!
IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, THANK ME BY THE BUTTON BELOW

Could you not put apk in like /data or something and it's installed when booting?

Google Movies Workaround Script

As noted in other Topics, the Goigle Video App checks for SU to detect a Rooted Device. So you just need to simply Rename SU to something else like MU. This process can be annoying and a bit tedious so I decided to automate most of it.
I know it isn't an App (I'll work on that later) but here is a script you can run from a Terminal Emulator.
Just download the script to the root of your SDcard and then run this in Terminal:
Code:
sh /sdcard/googlevideo.sh
It'll Autodetect where SU is and whether you're running the script as Root or not. If you aren't Root it'll inform you whether you need to run "su" or "mu" to get Root. Once Run as Root it'll automatically rename SU as needed.
Download the Script here: http://db.tt/nNy1jCy

If you don't see "Movies" category or the "Videos" app in the New Market here's a Fix.
NOTE: DO NOT USE IF USING OLD MARKET!!
If you have issues return it back to 161!
Root Explorer Method
1. Clear Market data in Application Info
2. Navigate to System folder in Root Explorer and "Mount R/W"
3. Long-press build.prop and "Open in Text Editor"
4. Find "qemu.sf.lcd_density=161" or "ro.sf.lcd_density=161" and change it to 160
5. Reboot
6. Run Market
File Expert Method
1. Clear Market data in Application Info
2. Navigate to /System folder in File Expert
3. Menu-->More-->Mount-->Mount as ReadWrite
4. Copy build.prop to sdcard
5. Press build.prop, Open as Text, Select a Text Editor
6. Find "qemu.sf.lcd_density=161" or "ro.sf.lcd_density=161" and change it to 160, now Save
7. Copy build.prop back to /System, Overwrite when asked
8. Reboot
9. Run Market
This should allow you to see most missing Apps and Access the Movies category.

Why would you bother with scripting this? Just download ften's modded apk here.
Superuser check is disabled. You still gotta pay overpriced rental fees though.

No worries. The script could be good for a backup. Its probably a tossup which workaround gets shut down first anyway.
And the links not busted. Its on the sdx forums. Works fine for me.

[Q] Youtube stops playing if screen off

Hi!
I jzt wanted to know if someone could help me with one feature that these new firmwares have. Once I turn off the screen, youtube stops playing. I really liked before that I could turn the screen off and still listen youtube in the earlier versions. I dunno if the playback gets cut off because of the new firmware or if it's a new feature in newer youtube apps, but's I'd really like to be able to listen youtube while the screen is off. Any tips? Thnx!
First off yourll have to say if your rooted or not or on a custom ROM or not.To me it sounds like your on a stock unrooted Firmware.Im rooted on Omega ROM with a youtube App that has a download feature.I can watch videaos of any lenght and the screen doesnt turn off.Also if I turn the screen off myself I can still listen to the video thats playing.
I'm on darkyrom LA4 base. Also tried resurrection rom with ICS a while back with the same result. Might hafta try something else then...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
The youtube app in Omega rom is great. It is how a youtube app should be.
sent from my fingers to your face.
I believe its down to how the YouTube app is developed; No playback in background or when screen is off.
Tomorrow morning when Im not on my phone Ill upload the youtube apk from my rom.Youll need to pass it to the System/app folder with root explorer but Ill put up the instructions.Like i said at the moment Im on my phone so cant upload.
I know I said Id do it tomrrow but I cant sleep thinking about this bloody Youtube apk. so Ill do it now.Ill write a rundown just incase your not sure what to do.Coming from another ROM it probably wont install as an apk. so if it wont then do this and it will install for sure.Do it twice to make sure though
NEED:Root explorer set to RW
first backup your exsisting apk. just incase.
1.Open root explorer and select System then app and go to YouTube
2.Hold finger down on apk. untill you get a menu and select "copy"
3.Now navegate to InternalSD/data and select "paste". and your done.
Now pass the new YouTube apk. to internalSD/download
1.open root explorer go to int.SD/download and hold finger down on apk.
2.from the menu that appears select "copy"
3.Now navegate to System/app and select "paste"
4.You will be prompted to overwrite exsisting apk. so select yes and your done.
Do the second proccess twice to make sure its copied and you should now see it in the app draw.The reason both apks. go to different folders is because if you put one inside a folder where another already exsists it will overwrite so you could loose your backup or the new one.Im going to bed
Amazing, thank you so much! That apk is gonna follow me wherever I go. xD
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Keep a copy on your PC too and pass it to all your ROMs so you have a good YouTube app on your phone at all times.

Hey thanks for the info, I followed youre steps but when I try to run Youtube now it gives me an error message "The application Youtube(process com.rolle.android.youtube) has stopped unexpectedly. Try Again."
Btw I couldn't find a Download folder in the InternalSD instead I had to navigate to InternalSD/sdcard/download. This is where your youtube.apk was stored. Could this possibly be the issue?

The YouTube apk. I put in the download folder in the internalSD so when I open root explorer I select sdcard/download and there it is.Basically you put it where you can find it(not on the externalSD) but I find this folder for me a good one to remember.Sometimes you need to do it twice in a row for it to work.If it doesnt then boot to recovery and fix permissions and wipe cache partition and see if that works.Also try androidkids way that he posted as it worked for him but Ive always done it as Ive posted.Also make sure that the YouTube app is the blue on that its meant to be.
EDIT:are you getting the message to overwrite exsisting app when you paste the new one?
Does anyone have a version of this for the latest version for youtube?
is there an updated version of this youtube which allows the screen to be off while still playing?

2 things can be happening. Either after you exctract the zip file with Winrar and it contains an apk file which you can transfer to your phone and using a file explorer just run it.
Or you have to go into CMW clockwork mode recovery (if you have it) and select flash a zip file.

Just rename file's extension from .zip to .apk then. Depending on your OS configuration, you may have to edit 1 setting, if you can not change the extension. For that - Control Panel, Folder Options, View, untick Hide extensions for known file types.

no from my brain, bro ;D i dont talk same as somebody else said :/ i get behind myself im pretty sure its oom, bcuz if i usng stock browser he holds 2 sites loaded, now when open more sites , he only holds the current one. so if i switch to other site he (re)load data. on it. memory usage is some higher but okay. now when i use some browser that usaally tries to holds all the data my memory decreases very hard until to some mb left, on early legacy xperia buils my phone restarted more often if i used other browser hard. i faced this issues on nearly all new browser's... sometimes even my device stops responding so must take off battery i never faced this on stock browser but more site-reloads.
i had seen this behaviour on several roms like stock ics and cm's JB. ...
ahh YES OFFTOPIC! sry ur right bro but thanks for help

Sometimes we can use them by copying apk to data folder. Just copy the apk file to "/data/app folder and sey the permission. And reboot.

Hi very_lie, need specifics, what method are you using- ADB? Are you rooted? What app- is it compatible with your device, app store(play/aptoide) will tell you yea or nay. Assuming you are rooted, use a good file manager, go into settings of the file manager, give it root permissions, and change mount system folders to writable, they will be read only originally. Find out where the app needs to go. For example, earlier today, I replaced talkback app because the version that came with custom ROM force closed. Google came out with an update recently that works for me. In file explorer, went to /system/app to find out what its called- talkback.apk. Downloaded v. 3.5 from aptoide(be careful), renamed it talkback.apk. go to /system/app, deleted older talkback.apk, go to data/dalvic cache and delete system @ app @ talkback.apk @ classes.dex Took renamed apk, copied it(from sd), just long press on the file and options come up, select copy. Navigated to /system/app and paste it there. Reset permissions, again long press hit permissions, will probably at rw-rw-rw, change to rw-r--r-- read write, read, read. Reboot. Upon reboot, may say android is upgrading-all is good-dalvic cache is building. Now with certain apps you will want to delete its data- in /data/data. For this app didn't need to. Also some apps can't be put in /system/app. On my phone HTC Evo 3d, ones like facebook, Twitter, translate and other google app can. Ones like Skype n dropbox cannot- they forced closed and can cause others to misbehave. So open up your app n see if it works. Go back into file manager, /data/data and make sure your app's permissions are rwxr-xr-x. Hope this helps, follow this same format when putting"forcing" app on data partition- /data/app

I've got a old version of APK editor pro , that I can use . Version 1.00 to bypass any install errors .. don't ask me how to get it though. Regards :angel:
Of course I could also have flash stock firmware again but I needed a simple solution to use the media I had available at that moment, only two Note 8 (mine and my wife's to extract the apk) and little 3g signal (when I had) to find a solution.
I appreciate the recommendations after having solved the problem but the object of my post was to thank for the help, the rest are anecdotes.

[12/20/2013] Updater Script / How to for flashing aroma based roms

Updated 12/20/2013
I have had some people ask about how to use an aroma based rom with our safe strap recovery. I have attached a zip file to the post that contains the "meta-inf" folder that goes into the archive of your rom. In theory, this should work on any SM-9005 rom or T-Mobile rom.
Prerequisites: Root - Busy Box - Safe Strap Recovery
Choose your Rom Slot and prepare it before starting ( build the system.img and userdata.img ) Instructions are HERE
Wipe system and data from recovery. Data is optional. If you wipe date, you will have to change your APN settings, network mode, time and region settings,etc....
1. Open your "Rom".zip with 7zip. Do not extract, only open!
2. Delete the "meta-inf" folder from the archive.
3. Take any apps in the aroma (maybe called something different i.e. xnote) folder that you want to keep and move them to the system/app folder in the archive.
4. Delete aroma folder from archive when finished.
5 extract the attached zip that contains the new "meta-inf" folder. File is here The extracted zip folder is named the same as the folder within the zip. You need the folder "meta-inf" folder INSIDE the zip, not the extracted folder that was just created. I know this is confusing!
6. Copy this folder to the rom with 7zip.
7. You should now only have 2 folders ( system and meta-inf ) inside the archive. Close archive and copy to phone to flash.
8. Download this file to phone. This is the second file to flash. It fixes all current issues in one package.
9. Flash Rom.zip first and then flash file from step 8. No need to reboot between flashes.
10. Reboot and let rom load.
Everything I have tested now works including NFC, WiFi, BT, All SPen functions including snote, screen write, and action memo. Bluetooth Tethering with Gear is working. Also corrected the music bug and Video chat on hangouts. By not wiping data, proper APNs are saved. If you need to wipe due to problems, you will need to load your APN settings manually.

So in the case of using x-note 6.0 which folders would i actually keep from the x-note folder? Im assuming i dont need the recovery and kernal folders but im not sure about the others. Hope this isnt a stupid question.

When you're done you will have only the meta-inf folder from this post and the system folder. The xnote folder is for aroma. You will need to take what you want out of there and move to the system/app folder.

Sorry I probably should have clarified alittke better. Say I wanted to keep all of the aroma features which one do I save out of the folder. I don't actually see a folder titled "aroma".

Try this, when you pull your pen out - it shows the little pie menu for things you can do. The first one is the action memo thing I believe.
Make the note come up and write a number down. Then click on the action button, "the one that selects whatever you wrote" then try to message that to a contact, If your Spen apps are working, you wont get stuck on "Recognizing" forever..Does that work for you?

Was able to fix this issue on x note 6.0
Handwriting Recognition works now
The en_US folder was missing from the VODB folder which is the language settings for handwriting recognition.
Extract the zip attached and copy the en_US folder to :system/VODB
Set permissions same as other folders and reboot.

Installing Xnote 6.0
Here is how i installed Xnote 6.0 using SS by @Hashcode
Make a back up of stock rom before starting. These files will be flashed to the stock rom partition.
I recommend starting from a fresh odin with root and safe strap installed.
Wipe system from recovery but do not wipe data. this will retain your APN settings, etc....
1. Open your Xnote6.0.zip with 7zip. Do not extract, only open!
2. Delete the "meta-inf" folder from the archive.
3. Take any apps in the aroma (maybe called something different ie: xnote) folder that you want to keep and move them to the system/app folder in the archive.
4. delete aroma folder,It is called Xnote.
5 extract the attached zip that contains the new "meta-inf" folder. File is here
6. Copy this folder to the rom with 7zip.

Here is how i installed Xnote 6.0 using SS by @Hashcode
Make a back up of stock rom before starting. These files will be flashed to the stock rom partition.
I recommend starting from a fresh odin with root and safe strap installed.
Wipe system from recovery but do not wipe data. this will retain your APN settings, etc....
1. Open your Xnote6.0.zip with 7zip. Do not extract, only open!
2. Delete the "meta-inf" folder from the archive.
3. Take any apps in the aroma (maybe called something different ie: xnote) folder that you want to keep and move them to the system/app folder in the archive.
4. delete aroma folder,It is called Xnote.
5 extract the attached zip that contains the new "meta-inf" folder. File is here
6. Copy this folder to the rom with 7zip.
7. Open system/VODB and copy the folder "en_US" from this zip file.
8. Close archive and copy to phone to flash.
9 Download this file to phone. This is the second file to flash.
10. Flash Xnoterom.zip and then flash file from step 9. no need to reboot between flashes.

No problem, if something is not working right just let me know and i will troubleshoot it for you. Ive been through it a couple times and seems pretty stable for me. Flashing to the stock rom partition is the way i always did it in the past on every other device, so just back up and flash away as far as i am concerned. :laugh:
Glad to see this is working for you, what about language and settings?? Does screen write with the spen actually save a picture how its supposed to and not FC?

Confirmed, everything works perfect doing this method. I tried earlier with an Updater script from an international stock rom, and that did not go well...
Anyone want to put it all together and have a download link? I won't be home till Saturday and would love to flash x note much sooner lol. Doesn't hurt to ask, right?
Stickied with my post-it-note 3
Does everything work? Ex. Language and input settings?
