Hello all, I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I recently crossed over to Android devices from BB so I'm still trying to figure out my way around things. Today I flashed ICS Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 and build number iml74k.144 onto my Note and the installation went fine, had no problems at all, but now I can't install apps from my web browser(Chrome) onto my Note like I could before the flash. USB debugging is on.
Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

To be honest, I really don't know, like I said I'm coming from BB and still trying to figure everything out. Here's the link that I downloaded the ROM from:
rootzwiki.com/topic/22134-sgh-i717uclc5-ice-cream-sandwich
If anyone has a link to a better ROM, I'm definitely open to try them out. I would just like to know how to fix the problem of not being able to install apps from the Play Store from my web browser.
You can't install apps using Chrome browser from your PC ?
Why not use the Market (play store) app that's already on your phone? You have to have a Gmail account set up on your phone to access the market.

I've been using the app that's on my phone but EVERYTHING on my phone got wiped and it's a bit easier to multi-task on a computer than it is a phone, so it's more about comfort ability at the moment, but this is just one issue arising, how many other, and potentially more serious issues are going to arise?

This is not an issue... use the play market to get your apps.. not a PC... because you obviously don't know how.... what you explained is NOT an issue, its the wrong approach. Your fist mistake was downloading a rom from root wiki.. flash my rom.. Seraphim-Mesosphere, and be happy...

I've been using my browser to install apps on my phone since I got, it's just started having this issue since I flashed an ICS rom, so it's not that I don't know how to do it, because I do, this is an issue with the rom.
But I will take your advice instead of try to argue with you, can you link me to your rom?

The ROM you flashed is a very outdated leak that was known to be riddled with bugs and performance issues.

So I downloaded the Seraphim First Flight, but I have no idea how to flash it onto my device, I'm assuming you can't do it through Odin?
You better stop! There are so many instructions about rom flashing. Study up!
You can ruin your phone with the click of a button. You sound close to it.
It's really not that hard...
0. Download Rom of your choice to somewhere on your external SD card.
1. Use Odin to flash the latest version of i717 ClockWorkMod Recovery (aka "CWM" )
2. Boot into CWM (use 3-finger salute method to boot into recovery).
3. Clear cache/factory reset
4. Install Rom of your choice that you had saved to your external SD card.
5. Reboot and enjoy .
But yeah, if any/all of the above confuses you, then you REALLY need to spend many hours reading before you go any further.
As for roms, I recommend dman's (as already mentioned) or ICS Perfection -- both have lots of active support...
Good luck.
+1 listen to dman he is D-MAN. you cant go wrong with anything made by THE COLLECTIVE...... any Collective rom will set you straight, just read all instructables .

Him mentioning USB debugging immediately made me think he was speaking about side loading APKs.
If you're trying to install apps downloaded from sources other than the market, for future reference, you must check the "unknown sources" box under settings>security.

Here is the link for it. I don't know if build.prop would prevent from it but once you install this, update it at playstore. Make sure you make a nandroid before you flash this in custom recovery.

Thank you. This works some what. The only problem is when I turn my phone on it says unfortunately verizon login has stopped working. I can still use the app to login though. Thank you again!
I believe you need the Verizon Login app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...verizon.ssodownloadable&feature=search_result this link is for the play store. Its required for certain Verizon Wireless apps to work.
can anyone please help me!

Hello I am currently running the hyperdrive 9.1 rom that I love! The only thing is I would really like to have my Verizon Visual Voice Mail app. I came from the Jelly Beans 6 rom that had it and was wondering if there was an apk for the app separately or for all the Verizon apps? I still have an old Verizon apps zip file from when I had my S3 that I tried to install just for the heck of it and it doesn't work. Any info and help on this matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

The hyperdrive ota app you can download the verizon bloat. I believe it installs all of so youll have to delete what you dont want. As for just the vvm file i dont know where to find it but ive seen it posted on the forums.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
The update downloaded itself overnight and I'm tired of looking at the notification. I'm currently away from home for work and have no access to a computer. Does anyone know the file directory where the update downloads to so I can just manually delete it? I'm on a galaxy s4 model SCH-I545, baseband I545VRUEMK2, kernel 3.4.0. I'm not the greatest at this so I'm sorry if I left out needed details.

The update zip is stored in /cache/fota/OTAPkg.zip
If you can freeze the SDM app it won't try to install it or re-download it.
Thanks, I cant boot to system thought. It goes straight to bootloader trying to dl/install.
Is it as simple as going into Titanium Backup and freezing the app SDM? I found it in there and froze it. I hope it was that easy!

Yup you can freeze FWupgrade too but sdm should be enough.

Wow. I have been putting up with that stupid update seems like a month, but I'm sure just a couple of weeks. I love TB. I bought it and use it one every single rooted device I have. Which is a lot! LOL!!!
