Installed CyanogenMod can't see Google play - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After lengthy process of backing up ta unlock root and finally got the CyanogenMod running on my tablet. Setting couple of issue including the most pressing one being unavailability of Google app. What is the easiest way to install it? I tried directly copying it's apk file but system/app destination is read only so I cannot copy. I haven't found a way to remount as rw or if there of more straightforward way to do it phrase let me know. Thanks

hey,
that method leads to FC's and installing the apk leads to app not being installed.

The same thing happens to me when I try to install the Swype app....
Thanks for the link. How the heck do I get it to work without the constant force closes?
make sure it's named vendor.apk and change permissions to fit the other system apps.
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access) Move New Market to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first) Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) fix Permissions (rw--r--r)Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)

Thanks for the market tips. Everything worked fine. My biggest problem is with the swype. f/c's start when I reboot phone. Running CM stable for vibrant. Don't know how to fix...
Good news, I updated to CM nightly 168 and the FC problem stopped for now.

If you having problems installing the swype apk... you can use Ti backup to uninstall swype, then reboot (important). install swype directly through "files" app or "my files". Worked for me!!
you guys realize that swype updates itself through the settings>input>swype settings> ..
right??? I guess its after the last update mines been updating
Any themes around?

so i just installed swype. looks good and runs great. it did tell me there was an update for swype after i installed it. after the download it says it was unable to install the update. any ideas?????

New rom? Bad rom flash ? Try install using emulator or ADB
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Have you tried installing through adb ? And what apps are you trying to install ?
Another thing to try is putting the app on your sdcard and moving it to /data/app with a file manager.
I've tried multiple roms same issue and I haven't tried adb can you explain how to do it through adb? First it's set cpu and the second is HTC calibration app

Maybe try fixing permissions and clearing cache In recovery, then try and install the apk
****'ll Buff Out
If a apk wasn't signed it won't install... You will have issue with things It won't show up on your phone.. You can try throwing it in the rom somewhere like the app section and you might get it to pop up and work. You can flash and turn of check for sig and it should install fine..

+1 on this suggestion.

It's a security thing I think. I forgot the exact solution but I remember having the same problem and I searched and found a solution somewhere on the internet. I do remember deleting an app and the issue was fixed. I'll look and see if I can find the solution.
EDIT: FOUND IT!! You must diable screen filter and you'll be good to go.

Sounds like Chrome does not want to be installed as a system app then Is there some benefit to having an app installed as a system app? Or why do you want to have it installed as a system app?

OK I don't know how things work on phones outside of the HD2, but can't you just push the .apk to /system/app with a root explorer, fix permissions in CWM and reboot?
Try to use ADB to move it and remember to set permissions
You need to extract libchromeview.so from the Chrome APK (found at: com.android.chrome-1.apk/lib/armeabi-v7a/libchromeview.so) and move it to system/lib. Optionally, you can remove libchromeview.so from the Chrome APK and zipalign if you want to save a couple of MBs of space.
This worked for me on v. 0.18.4531.3636. I attempted this some time ago on an older version unsuccessfully. If you have an older version for some reason, you'll probably need to update.
Latest titanium backup update said something about fixing conversion in what's new

If I'm not mistaken system apps load first on boot and are often quicker at starting up than user apps. That's been my experience anyways. However a lot of em are more hassle to convert than the slight increase in speed is worth imho

After root and link2sd :when I install chrome "invalid package file"

I have t-mobile LG L9 p769
after I root, I linked the chrome,facebook,google+ to sd, using link2sd, (I linked apk,dat, and library files)
then the partition on SD went corrupt and had to reformat
now when I try to install Google chrome/facebook/Google Plus, in google play it tells me, invalid package file,
and yes I did clear the cache of play/google frame work but it didnt work for me any idea?
Install busybox. If that doesn't work then you might try hard reset.

Did you install the Safestrap .apk after you did the ROM then run the "install recovery" from within Safestrap after you did your ROM?

I believe I just ran the ROMwwithout flashing anything else.
I should have stuck with hyperdrive.
I can use my phone and internet but the play store is out of commission for me.
I've wiped and deleted and force closed about everything related to downloading an apk.

It sounds like it'd be best if you ODIN'd back to stock and started over.
If nothing else works try the dreaded Odin route
Sent from my Beastly powered S4 using Tapatalk
Any links you could put me on for the Galaxy S4 ?
Also why is Odin dreaded?
Don't need to odin. Just simply download the apk, copy it from your SD card and paste it in your system/app folder. Once pasted, change permission to -rw -r -r. Now you'll see it in your app drawer.
Off-topic: There's something wrong with the default containers services on that rom. Everyone thinks it's a Google Play store error, nobody even bothered checking the logcat to see why...lol...I haven't gotten around to trying to fix it yet.

You're not trying to install it automatically. You're installing it manually by playing it into your app folder and changing permissions. Read my post and follow it and you will be golden, the concept is the same for all android devices
Eclipse comes with a file manager included.

The permissions should be be the same as every other apk in the folder. Try that and let me know how that goes. It's inside the system/app folder?
