I'm trying to install FriendCaster and I get "not enough space" or something like that, but I have 11 GB available...
How's that?
Anyone know why? I can install other apps...

Hi, usually that (misleading) error message is caused by residue files in the /data/app directory, where you want to install the .apk
Scan that directory and search for the (old) .APK of the program you want to install, and also you may find the corresponding .ODEX file.
Example com.app.name.apk & com.app.name.odex
Delete both, and try to install again, and it should work.
Hope these instructions are enough to help you

Hey guys, I have a folder on my sd card called /RootFiles where all of my files for rooting go. Almost all i download from online is stuff like kernels roms etc, so i want it all to go to the /RootFiles folder. Can i symlink downloads so everything i dowload goes there? Anything else i download i will move manually since there is not that much. So if someone could tell me the terminal/adb code that would be awesome.
Thanks!

Hey guys, I have an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket on AT&T and I really want to get Google Now on it without rooting. I was looking around online and I found a video in which the guy manages to install it using only apks. Yes, he was rooted, but the only reasons I could see that it needed root was to edit build.prop and to edit the system apks. So I thought, well, couldn't I just do that on my computer? I was thinking that maybe if I plugged my phone in via USB, got build.prop off the system folder, edited it, then edited the system files, but the new build.prop on, installed the apk I would have Google Now! I'm pretty sure this won't work, but I'm curious why.
You need root to access system folders

So even if you go on PC and via USB browse to system folders, you can't open them?

You can't view system folders on a PC, only using a root browser (to edit), a normal file browser (to view) or adb (to view)

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
can someone plz tell me what this file means or does! I foundd it on my system folder on a folder named addon.d and that's is the only file I found there..the original file is named like this "70-gapps.sh" ....my device is a polaroid tablet pmid705 some people saying that polaroids tablets are pre rooted but mines ain't....I just need to know what is this file is and what it does?
This will read the google apps files lole the play store,gmail etc. As you can see it reads a lot of apks and triggers a lot of libs. Do not remove it.

I just download MMOJ game, and wanted to make some changes for fun. I changed file extension from .APK to .Zip, unzip the file, modfied a .lua file, zip the files, and changed the extension back to .apk. Then, I tried to install the game, and then I receive "Parsing Error". What did I do wrong? As you can tell, I don't have a good programming skill, so when providing answers, please be as detail as possible, so any new comers can understand the explanation and solutions.
Thank you.
You need to find a program to properly de/recompile for you, search out apktool as one of many options, there will surely be instructions as well in you searches

Thanks for the reply. Because many people said that I can change .apk to zip and back to .apk, I thought de/recompile program was unnecessary. I will try a program. Any recommendation? Preferably free?
Depending on what you do yes you can unzip do somethings then rezip, but for most changes it needs to be decompiled, I usually use apktool, initially made by brut.all but has been updated by others, right now I believe version 3 is the latest

I tried apktool, but after extracting the folder AndroidApktool in C:\ and put the .apk file I want to modify along with framework-res.apk, AndroidApktool.exe does not start. It gives an error. Is my PC language setting as Korean a problem, do you think?
Once changed from a zip to an apk after being modified.the apk usually needs to be resigned before attempting to reinstall again.

Um, did you open cmd/terminal and tell it to decompile?
apktool d xxx.apk
Or what do you mean by it doesn't start?

Does that mean if I can get a program that re-signs the .apk, I can install the modified .apk?

No, I did not use the command line apktool d xxx.apk. I may have to read how-to.txt to understand how to execute the file. Because apktool was an executable file, I thought double clicking would start the program with graphical user interface waiting for further input from the user.
u can unzip apk to .zip, but not rebuild file .zip to apk if you're not use tool. It'll not compiler.
So, long story short I rooted my phone with the sole intention of getting rid of bloatware... I did that, and along with it deleted something I now regret. I deleted the file that allows you to choose live wallpapers(along with the wallpapers themselves.) Is there anyway for me to get this back without having to lose my phones current state? Thank you in advance.

It's not allowing me to install it! Whenever I go to install it on my phone, it says the install fails.
Have you checked Install From Unknown Sources? I think it's under security options.

If you are trying to replace a system app, you probably need to push it to system and set permissions as rw- r-- r--. Many system apps will not install.
Thank you sir. I knew there was something I was forgetting.

How do I go about doing that? I appreciate the help you guys are giving me.
You need a root level file browser app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. Navigate to where you have the file on your phone (I recommend putting it somewhere easy to find like Downloads folder), copy the apk (long press, select Copy). Go to the root of your phone. It's named / just that symbol. Then scroll down to system, tap that. Then tap app. Inside the /system/app folder paste the apk. Depending on which file browser you have, you change permissions differently.

Everytime I try and change permissions of anything it says "Sorry, operation failed." any thoughts?
Mount system as RW. Default is RO (Read Only as opposed to Read Write).

I tried that and it doesn't work! What the heck could I have done wrong so that these permissions don't seem to matter!?
