No, you don't - you simply copy the .apk file to your phone and select the same .apk file with any kind of file explorer (for instance ES File Explorer).

I tried install the .apk but its shwoing error message..............

For security,your is set to block installation o applications not obtained from android market

You need to select installation from non market sources or another source go to settings security and check the box next to allow installation of non market apps.

I tired clearing data Settings>Apps>All>Google Play Store>Clear Cache & Clear Data but still no luck! Locations still the same. Any helps guys
You have to clear market data, use market enabler and then sign in to a vpn. I access the US play store using this method and I can assure you that it works.

You don't need to download any app.
Flash gapps zip from recovery and you get it working.

Black gmail

Anyone have inverted gmail apk? Does this exist?
yes there a couple out I do not if they are compatible for both ICS and/JB but
One of the themeer is Kwes1020 he is part of the Aokp I saw he just made one last week
To find most of these you would need to check out the Play store.
Good Luck oka1
OK I got one thank you. So how do I turn this into a exe file so I can install it?

I'm thinking you are going to want that file as an APK ..
Have you contacted the developer of the app ? He/She will be your best source for information and support ....g
I messaged the developer but have not received a response. If its not an exe then how will I install it?
Use google..its your friend..and you dont ever use or need .exe for droid... you use .apk

APK's are installed from your file browser app. a simple long press of the app will give you option to install it. ( If the developer set the app up properly)....
If the app is correctly packaged, the only additional step is to check the "unknown sources" box in the applications settings.....and the app will install..once you select "install" of course..g

[Q]Android version identification

Hi everyone!
I hope someone here will have an asnwer for my question...
So , the question is, How can I know for sure, which Android version runs on my device, if I don't trust the information
provided in "build.prop" file.
Specifically, how can I be sure I have an ICS and not GB ?
Thank you in advance!

Furthermore if your running ICS for android version it should have a number ranging from 4-4.04.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Thanks, but both answers don't help in my case, as they do use the contents of "build.prop".
In my case, I don't trust "build.prop" , and hence looking for alternative ways to determine the Android version.

What's your beef with build.prop? The only other way I know is to download a ROM of your choice, unzip it, Look in META-INF>com>android> and open up the metadata file and you should be able to see it in there. But, I suppose that could be fudged as well. Is someone launching some sort of Android conspiracy against you?

If Google Chrome is available to you on the play store, you have ICS. If its not you have GB. Furthermore you could download an ICS only app and if it says there is an error parsing the package then you have GB

LOL .
OK I'll explain myself...
I have a chinese phone, which runs Android.
Manufacturer , releases new ROMs from time to time.
Last few ROMs, were "4.0.3", as it was written in "build.prop", but after installation,
I saw there is no Right to Left support, and for me , that is a sign, that the ROM isn't really 4.0.3,
as (AFAIK) 4.0.3 supports RTL out ofthe box...
Now, I still hope they will release real 4.0.X ROM some day, but till then, I don't want
to install every ROM they release. I want to identify whether ROM is 2.3.6 or 4.0.X before I Install it,
and not based on "build.prop".
So, I hope now you have full explanation, and will be able to help.
Thanks!

Wow, that is really nice trick!
I wasn't aware of it. Thanks!
Though, the problem is to know ROM's Android version , before I install it on the device.
So it is not a solution to my problem...
Ah, and that phone has an iPhone look menus , so there is no way to perform that trick, unfortunately...

I can make app that will say if you are running ICS or JB or GB!
I'll send you it tomorrow!
It checks api level of the system.
If its 16=JB , 15= ICS, 11 or 12=GB

Can you please explain what should be checked ?
I mean what can I check in ROM (it is CWM installable ZIP file ) , in order to know
which Android version it has?
But again, I don't want to install it! I want to know that from inspecting the ROM itself!
Thanks!

Download the rom open it with 7zip and go to system-SW_configuration.xml
Open it with notepad++ and check the firmware.
The same thing you can do it with root explorer in your phone.
I don't believe he changed all the xml's just to make users believe is an ICS rom
To check for ICS:
Look at the file's /system/bin .
If it contains a binary called sh it's Gingerbread .
If it contains a binary called mksh then it's ICS .

Maybe, but I doubt it. (I've never made a flashable zip, but I'm guessing there's more to it than what I did.)
It's just an apk inside a zip archive. I'm guessing I made it a zip because xda wouldn't accept an apk. You can just extract the apk out of the zip file with an app like zarchiver or es file explorer, than tap it to install. (Make sure "Unknown sources" is enabled in settings > security.)

Hi. I don't know if this will work, but you can try BlackMart (just google and download) or Market Helper (google it too), that "transform" your mobile in other device. Maybe it works. I've tried a time ago on my Galaxy Y and worked fine

Dude that's not my problem I have the .apk but the file won't install since it is designed to work on newer versions of Android, I just wanted to know is there anyway to edit the .apk file too make it run on older version of Android?
