CashmereEsquire said:
Hey guys I have a galaxy player 5.0 it has 1.7 gb free internal, but when I try to download the Google Play APK from it says not enough storage, while I installed the Astro APK off my sd card no problem. Any thoughts? Its rooted and I have a mac if that helps.

Are you trying to get the play appstore on your device? As far as I know you have to flash gapps to get that.

I`m using CMW and it doesnt show any errors but the Market nor anyother gapps appear

Please can anyone help me

can you give us more info: ie what rom you are running?

Sorry I`m not sure the rom it is a Stock based rom here is whats in settings
Firmware 2.3.6
Kernal 2.3.35.7-g70xxkpf-cl562492
[email protected] #r14
build number
GINGERBREAD.XXKPL
CMW says zip is installed but nothing appears on device. And when I try to just install the android market APK thats saved on SD card it says I dont have enough space even though 1.83 gb are free.
Please I know this doesnt help much but I need help bad, I`m using a mac so I do not have a way to use ODIN, I dont even care about Rooting I just want this back to normal, it is for my younger brother and he gave it to me to sell for him, and after doing a factory reset I noticed his android market vanished.

Hi is there something that tells me what I am suppose to be doing? Do I use this to flash Gapps? I`m confused. And is this command line stuff or is there an actual front end where I can just click on stuff like ODIN? I`m really pressed for time so I cant ready through pages of stuff, and google searches arent helping at all.

Maybe you can install easily with this:http://android-market-apk.en.softonic.com/android. If you can't you have to paste the googleplay.apk into /system/app with a root file manager

Here you have the google play apk: http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=22926241640219602. Now download a explorer, like the ES file explorer. Paste the apk into /system/app and push over the apk a little and change the permissions:
User: Write and Read
Group: Read
Other: Read
Finally: rw-r--r--
It have to be more or less in this way.

imposibru!
You can't do that! As simple as that, sorry to say. Fortunately this headache has solution simply by restorating the default system. I think you can do it with Kies.

FolioComb_3.0.1_v0.3a TIPS, PATCHES, BUGS and TRICKS

First of all, I want to thanks Dexter for his work. I made this threade for some help for FolioComb bugs reporting and patches updates.
This rom is awsome!
HONEYCOMB_3.0.1_v0.3a
BUGS and SOLUTIONS:
1. Lots of apps crashes(to fix enter in fastboot "fastboot-w" pr move apps from sd to tablet)
2. Android Market and YouTube apps don't work very well. Market don't have paid and all free apps even after enabling with Market Enabler and YouTube say "video unable to play"
3. When I try to install app from sdcard, app installer shows, but can't press install button(strange bug, only solution is factory reset)
Go here and go to end of page and you'll see list of app that you can and can't unistall(this is for CyanogenMod, but it's smilar to FolioComb and it android too)
4. Camera crashes and if try with another camera app, I get black screen and camera don't activate(blue light near camera)
5. Home button don't work
6. Little laggy(install OC kernel)
7. SOD(with OC kernel)
I'll update list with bugs, solutions and patches.
that's nice of you to create such a thread!
I have all those issues that others have reported so decided to move back to FolioMod... this apps FC issue really is a nasty one, so hopefully your patch can help a lot of ppl here
You don't understand me. I don't make patch, I only put Dexter patches on one place, because it's easier to find them all on one place.

thx
you are talking about the honeycomb for folio right?
but i'm still using v1.4 haha````
after reading your thread i'm think about to try the honeycomb
two problem with solution for FC's
Jon2555 said:
I found solution for FC's(I'm not expert and if you don't think this is true, say):
1. After downloading or restoring and installing apps and they don't work(like CPU Master or Angry Birds), install Root Explorer(If someone need it say me)
2. Open it and go to /data/app and find app that don't work and you want to work
3. Long-press and press "extract all"
4. After extracting press "Go to extracte directory"
5. Open app directory and go to lib
6. Copy all files(if there's directory(ies) go inside) and go to /system/lib and past it
7. Exit Root Explorer(reboot if you want or if app don't work), open app and enjoy!
This isn't work for all apps but it shoud(for me works)

I solve ... it's easy :
- some app is into \sdcard\ and we can reserch ( es search : com.rovio and found angry birds.apk )
- if folder is only read in top on root explorer we can change permission ( button r/o)
Any root explorer free clone
I can't move my files and I can't find any file manager that let me do su operations...How come, the android store just look like the app store ! (yeah kinda troll)
More over my birds were free on foliomod and i need to pay now there is only the beta release which is free...looks wierd !
Anyway, I'm still happy cause it is quite smooth after all except for those fc apps...
I've installed application explorer which tells me that angry birds data are in /data/data/ isn't it strange...there's nothing in it...well the gamme fc so maybe it is normal !
angry birds is installed in /mnt/asec, if i managed to move the directory where should i put it ? in /sdcard or /sdcard2 or /sdcard/sdcard-disk0 ?
what is that mess (just like my post ?
search and install applanet by internet then download root explorer. i use this way for try..
I said if need Root Explorer ask me and I'll upload apk via PM

6. Copy all files(if there's directory(ies) go inside) and go to /system/lib and past it

I found /system/lib directory has no more space to past anymore libs.
So how to extend it??(for now, it only has about 250Mb space)
I said before that system directory don't have enough space and I don't know how to extend it.

If you want to change sd card mount point, you have to change vold.fstab in /system/etc.

Trouble installing .apk files

Hi devs,
Delete this. Solved!

Hi devs,
As you guys should know, I have a gt-i5503 stock 2.1 upgraded to 2.2 ( it now shows gt-i5500l).
As i dont have wifi (thats a real bummer ) at home, i download the apk files and install them. Recently , i downloaded the .apk's for asphalt6, nanopandas, jenga & battlehearts ( im a hell of a gamer lol ).
but when i tried to install the files, it shows the instalation bar ( green backslashes like this //////) and after a while it reboots (shows the flashing samsung screen).
I also tried to use the apk installer from my comp but it says 'please make u have enough disk space' while i have some 51 mb in my phone storage n 200 mb in my sdcard.
please help me out.
many thanx.

Thats what i do as default. When it didnt work, i tried doing it via my comp.I also noticed that only these apks are problamatic. all others are installing without any problems. the others are of the same size. HELP!!!! :-(
where did you get the files from? they may not work properly.
Take a look at this site, galaxy-5.blogspot.com, there is a ton of games to download there. try one of those and see if it is something wrong with your phone, or the .apk you are downloading

samsung galaxy s3 keyboard re-installation

So i have finally rooted my phone through CF Auto root method, and im happy i can access anything on the phone.
first thing i wanted to do is get rid of the samsung Keyboard, as it got stuck to being default after every restart.
So got into /system/apps/samsungIME.apk and removed it. I use ES file explorer with root access.
Job done, now i have the smart keyboard pro on and happy with it
Lets say i want to reinstall the SamsungIME.apk
reinstalling it is not a go im afraid. If i try to reinstall it from my ext.Sdcard, it says installation failed
If i copy and paste it in the same folder, it says: parsing error, unable to extract or something.
So my question following quite a bit of search is : in general, when trying to reinstall samsung apps, will this occur all the time?
Do i have to do something in addition to get it to work?
i saw someone mention in a different thread (I9100 i think) about chaning something in the build prop which i couldnt find anyway, and others talking about permissions
With ESfile explorer, i havent found the 'permissions' aspect of things, as all i have to do is allow ES to enter the root explorer through SU and then i dont get any other question about allowing permsissions to save/install and application.
many thanks and please excuse me if my questions are very childish for experiences users, as this is the first time i have entered this field!

Reinstalling ANY SYSTEM APK would mean that you would have to push it to the system. Here is a YouTube video on how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJGbiSkom9M
If you are interested to download again the stock app, I have uploaded all the stock apps in mediafire. check my sig if you are interested
Many thanks. Will check asap!

Looking at the video, es file explorer does something similar, but it hasnr worked. Does this mean I have to buy the root explorer software?
Edit: I just downloaded root explorer and saved the apk according to the info. Keyboard hasn't installed though. I wonder if I have to tranfer the obex file as well
Edit 2: transfered the obex file as well, still didn't install. I can see the apk in there but its not installing.
And to finish this, I did excactly the same with the obex file and it worked. My samsung keyboard is back so again
MANY THANKS!

[Q] how do i?

Hi all. This is my first post and no doubt my question will probably already have been answered so here goes. my Samsung GT-19100 keeps telling me that there is insufficient memory when trying to download. I have plenty of memory spare on the phone 10 gb actually on sd card. I have looked up for answers and seem to have found it, unfortunately I don't know how to go about it. The information I found is saying I need to delete the .odex file in the app data just don't know where to find this file. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank You so much to everyone that has read this. Thanks. Paul.

Is your phone rooted?
If yes, you need a file explorer or file manager like ES File Explorer , or any app like that to find and delete the app .odex file ...

Hi PinkLeviosa, Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post.

So, I see.. If you know jailbreaking in apple products, you already know rooting, but they have some differences, please take time to read here

ES File Explorer is a File manager it helps you to move,paste,open files such as .zip , delete files like .odex ... and at the same time its a Root Explorer, Provides access to the entire file system and all data directories, and allows the user to change permissions. You can only unlock its feature like root explorer if your phone is rooted, for more details in ES file manager look here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
So if you dont know what root is, but now you know, the chances are your phone is not rooted... so i think you cant do your process of deleting the app's .odex but if you please can you try this app i found while searching your problem but it moves the cache of google play store at your sd card and no root is needed... the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.felipearon.marketfix
and one more thing try to clear the cache of your google play store, if still that one dont work, try this:

For the Xposed do you need to download this zip file and put in the sd card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3518598&d=1445801916 ( is the xposed files for the arm sdk22)
Now install the app flashfire by chainfire (google)
then instal the xposed installer
Open the flashfire app, it will ask for root privilige, give them, and go to the plus sign search for the zip file, thick the mount partition, and flash it (is an app for flash zip file without recovery)
Let it do his thing, and it will reboot, it will take a time, then you will see that the apps androir ar chargin like if was an update.
start the xposed app and it will be installed.
Good luk!
Im not responsable of any damage, those are the step i did and work for me
