Hi guys...
I have some problem on my Vibrant of Android Market App not connecting (due to some unknown reason with my Google account). So, I decided to download and install Clockwork ROM Manager manually. I did so successfully. Now, I cannot figure out how to install Clockwork Recovery? The official site just gives me a .zip file. I don't know what to do with this .zip file. And I cannot download it from within CW ROM Manager, it gives some internet error...
If someone can guide me step by step, it would be awesome...
Thanks a lot in advance...

extract the contents of the .zip to anywhere on your sd card. then use a file manager of your choice (astro, linda) to locate the .apk and install it to your phone. however, keep in mind YOU ALSO NEED TO HAVE THE PREMIUM LICENSE APK INSTALLED IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK. once ROM manager is up and running on your phone, just flash Clockwork through that.
edit: this is objective advice to help out, but please know that I do not support outside downloading of paid apps. and you might want to be careful because Clockwork is huge on this forum, and there are A LOT of supporters. you should be asking how to fix your market problem, not how to install ROM Manager for free. just my thoughts, good luck
Thanks for the reply...
I have installed ROM Manager through the apk file that I downloaded. But now how do I flash Recovery? The zip file is supposed to be for Recovery, but how do I do it?
Do I need to go into Recovery Mode and then click on the "Re-install Packages" thingy??? If yes, do I need to rename the zip file?
Your help will be greatly appreciated...

you need to flash the recovery through ROM manager....if thats not working its probably because you dont have the premium license for ROM manager downloaded. its used to protect against piracy...........why arent you trying to figure out how to fix your market instead
I did post a thread here but I didnt get much help...
I am not able to log into my Google account or any other Google based service (including Gmail and Google Maps). ROM Manager is also giving some internet error...
I am connected to WiFi and can use internet on my browser. Can do everything in the browser, including logging into Google...
So, if you can provide some help on this issue, that would even be nicer...

There are a few place where its mentioned to remove this folder: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings
Now how can I reach this folder? How can I access the terminal? If there is a separate app for that, which one is a good one and from where can I get it? (Remember I cannot access Android Market...)
Mannnnnnnnnn.......
I am learning a lot of new things since I bought my Vibrant...
So I was finally able to add my Google Account to my Vibrant... The Android Market and other Apps using Google are still not opening on Wifi, its very strange... I can use internet on my browser but the apps are still not able to use Wifi...
I hope I can figure this out as well, with your help...
Hi all
My main phone is my new HTC Sensation, and I have all my regular apps installed on there (via the Android market, using my Google account).
My old phone - Rooted HTC Hero - I keep as a spare, and use only when I am travelling overseas, to put a local SIM Card into.
My question is, can I install apps on the spare phone on an ad-hoc basis, without using my regular Google account?
Ideally, downloading .apk files for Android market apps?
As it's only a spare, and mainly used for voice not data, i don't really want all the same apps as on my main phone, just some of them -things like Go SMS, JuiceDefender, etc
Also currently, the plan I have with the local SIM card I'm currently using has no data - only voice. So apart from connecting it via my laptop, I could only install apps using free wifi.
Thanks in advance!

No. You need to use a Google Account to download any app from the android market. You don't need to use your regular one, but you still need to use one to download the apps. So, it would make more sense to just use your regular account to do it.
You could just download the apps apk transfer them to your memory card then install via a app like astro file manager that way u would have the apps backed up on the card

Thanks... if I use my same Google account on the spare phone though, will it recognise all the apps I have downloaded to my main phone, and try to download them all again??
What about if I remove any, will it try to remove them from the main phone also?
For example - on my main phone I have maps and IM apps, but I don't want or need those on my spare phone...
Or in other words - are the apps downloaded and removed, device specific? Or syched the same between devices on the one Google account?

Thanks, but how is it possible to download the .apk files? I can't do it via the Android market...the only other way I can see, is just via searching the web for the specific files?
If i'm not wrong, you can download titanium backup...
Backup apps on 1st device and transfer them over to 2nd device

Am not sure about what will happen to already downloaded apps but your other device will add as a new device and the apps you install from now forward will be separate. If installing from Web, you will be prompted to choose a device. In mobile, the app will be downloaded to the phone you use to download. The market can distinguish between two different devices unless they are of the same model.

He's saying that you download and install the apps normally to your main device, the use an app to back them up to your sd card, then you can send them to your secondary device (either via bluetooth, or send them to your pc and transfer them to your other device).

I need to pair a watch with a phone that has just AOSP flashed on it and so I'm trying to figure out if/how I can install Google Play Services/Google Play Store onto the phone. (In order to pair the watch with the phone I need to install the Android Wear App, but I can't do that if the phone doesn't have Google Play Store/Google Play Services installed).
My phone is a Nexus 5 with the Lollipop AOSP installed, so I just tried installing the GSP apks using adb but I keep getting error messages that GPS has stopped running.
I'm an iOS developer and new to Android and have been searching for days how to solve my problem without success, so I'd be grateful if somebody could help me with the following questions:
1) If I get Google Play Services and Google Play Store apks from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install them will I be able to access the Android Wear app on Google play and download/install/run it?
2) If not then if I get the Android Wear app itself from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install it along with GPS will the Android Wear app run?
3) When I try to install GSP why do I get the error messages about it stopping? Are there other dependent components I need to also install to make it run?
4) Can I install it using adb or do I have to install it using a recovery? If so, then why does a recovery have to be used to install it, whats the difference between installing via a recovery and installing via adb?
Thanks for any insight, I'm getting nowhere and getting frustrated trying to work all this out.
I had exactly the same problem and could solve it.
I described my solution here:
https://code.google.com/p/aosp4nexus5/wiki/AOSPforNexus5
The documentation describes two alternatives:
1. Manual installation which is lost with every new flashing of the system image
2. Integration in the build process to create a system image including Google Play Store as vendor-specific prebuilt APKs
Thanks, I'll try it out
Do you have any ideas where I could get GoogleServicesFramework.apk from?
Places like apkmirror have GooglePlayStore.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk for Lollipop but not GoogleServicesFramework, (why would they have 2 of them but not all of them?).
I don't have a Nexus 10 device so can't obtain them as you did in your post.

You can unzip the file gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip from BasketBuild https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps
You find it under system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework.
The name of the APKs may differ. GooglePlayServices is named something like GsmCore or com.google.android.gsm.
The Play Store is named something like Phonesky or Vending.
Thanks very much
When I try to install an app it says app not installed. I have tried signing the app, changing the version number and can't get it to work. I have tried installing apks I have downloaded and patched apks from lucky patcher and nothing works. So is there something that doesn't allow the phone to install modified apps?
I can't install samsung keyboard apk on my samsung galaxy s9+
Are you trying to install a new version of an apk that's already on your phone? If so, can you uninstall the older version first?
it is Android 8.0 security features. Google removed install unknown source. You need to give specific permission to file browsers or apps that does the install - for example, if you have app, copy to your phone, and open Samsung File, and click to install.

Yeah I did that to allow installs from Samsung file browser and lucky patcher but still not installing. It let's me push the install button and starts the process then says app not installed. I made sure that the previous version is not installed and reset the phone but still not working
Yeah I have allowed installs from the apps I am using to try to install and there isn't a previous version on the phone I made sure to uninstall the app and restart the phone after and still not allowing the install. It starts the install then says app not installed

the app you trying to install, unmodified one, go apkmirror.com and search for it, it should list different version, some apps has arm and arm64 version, download it to your phone, and install it.
your s9/s9+ are arm64

Emm nobody?
Samsung blocked sideloading most of it's system apps. Nothing you can really do about it.
Replace app with tutuapp
Your Android application may not be suitable for them. What you need to do now is:
Try updating Android, otherwise you go to the store by reinstalling your device, but this is very time consuming and costly. You can also use tutuapp android (visit tutuappplus.net to download) this free app store that helps me use great apps for Android.
I recently upgraded from an Android 7 phone (Moto G5) to an Android 9 phone (Moto G7). I like to back up all of my apps that I plan on using in the future, using a backup app like ML Manager, and installing them locally with a file browser, like FX. On my new phone, there are some APK backups that I can't install from a file browser; even if I actually download them though the Google Play Store, back them up, uninstall them, and then try to install that backup on the same phone, it won't work. Not every app does this, and at first, I thought it was only paid apps that were giving me problems, so I chalked it up to DRM, but a bunch of free apps won't work, either.
I've tried alternate methods of installation, too, like using a terminal emulator (see the screenshot, using the app Manual Camera as an example), and ADB on a PC, which results in an INSTALL_FAILED_VERIFICATION_FAILURE error. I've searched for this error and followed directions, like disabling Play Protect (which I never enabled on this phone, anyway), but nothing works. Is this just how Android is now? Did something change so that it's harder to install backups? I tried all of this on my wife's phone, too, which also runs Android 9, and I got the same errors. Any help would be appreciated, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

Some apps are different for noghat and pie Android
So there is no grantee that you can install all APK that you backed up on noghat for pie
Download them from Google
It should completely work
Make sure that you have free space on internal storage and when you wanna download them make sure that download arm/arm64 version

Yeah, downloading from the Play Store definitely works, I'm just curious as to why backing up an app downloaded from the Play Store won't install from the APK *on the exact same device.* I'm a stickler for keeping local backups of everything, but I'm more curious than anything at this point.

Well there is a another reason
That is some app install with APK
And other one install with APKS
which you should install them with SAI and have two or three file to install (even more)
And when you backup from apks apps it doesn't backup all files to install it again
But at play store it install automatically

Holy crap, dude, I had NO idea that split APKs were a thing. I downloaded Split APK Installer from the Play Store, and I can make and restore local backups again. Thank you so much for the info, it was exactly what I needed!
