I was trying to install some custom apk's for some games and stuff ( skins, fonts, wallpapers) and after tapping install and waiting about a minute, I always get "app not installed". It worked before with no problems and all of a sudden it won't install anything unless from Google Play. I do not have any overlays enabled and previous version/stock apk is uninstalled. I tried installing with Lucky Patcher and it said there was a conflict with permissions and to uninstall app first. The original apk is gone, so not sure what's up there.
Below is what I have. Thanks!

Is there any kind of error message or reason for the failure given? Anything you've changed for this to happen? Have you checked the logcat to see if there's any more information there?

Is this the post from 2015 that you are talking about, since this is your last post until lately)? When you didn't get help for some gaming and other stuff that you were trying to use Lucky Patcher for, so you decided we were all jerks? Like any problem ever should be able to be solved just by posting to XDA,?
okay
Maybe you should read this thread/post
Operators are not here 24/7 to tend to your needs. Please realize that. This is a developers site first and foremost.
I’m not talking about not getting help for lucky patcher years ago. I’m talking about the one I posted yesterday or day before yesterday about custom roms for my sm-t810. I googled it and checked here, obviously in the wrong places, to find roms compatible with my device/firmware. The other post I made about broken links and malware, etc, was because that thread had to do with theming, a guide, how to do it, etc. I was disappointed that several links were either broke or lead to some ad page.

Hi all,
Well for everyone who want's to have the Google apps like:
Android market
Youtube
Gmail
etc.
Here is a link to a share where the gapps4archos can be downloaded.
http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: You cannot install this appInstaller if you installed gApps4Archos or any other gApps installer. Anytime you switch appInstaller programs, you MUST reset your device back to stock. If you've NEVER installed ANY market/gApps installer, then your good... no need to reset.
NOTE: If you've ONLY used my appInstaller, then you can REMOVE the old files using my app and re-install the apps at the same time, then REBOOT.
1) Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
2) Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)
3) Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it
4) Choose install packaged apps or choose to install your own packaged 'apps.zip' file located on the internal drive (not sdcard)
4a) There maybe a short delay after you tap an install button (its installing and you'll be notified when its done, about 5-10 seconds)
5) REBOOT!!
6) Follow the Market FIX instructions below
MARKET FIX:
This will get you most missing apps from the market, except some "protect market apps"
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market (Clear Cache then 'Force Stop' -- DO NOT clear data)
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Google Services Framework (Clear data then 'Force Stop')
REBOOT again
Market Fix video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=player_embedded#!
If you do this correctly you will find most missing apps like 'Copilot Live USA' in the Market. However, some apps will not show because they are "protected" Market apps. These include 'NY Times'. Google search "android protected market apps" if your not familar.
NOTE: The latest version of GMAIL and Youtube can be downloaded in the market...
Thanks to our friends from the archosfans.com forum
Thankyou for this, I have seen how much work you have put into it. Tried gAppsInstaller_v3.apk this morning and seems to be working well, no FC's etc so far...
(edit)Oppss ment to say thankyou Kenyu73 for the app and thanks Dreetje for posting, thought you was Kenyu under a different name...

Well i didn't made it, Kenyu73 did make it It makes my device complete, really love the Archos device!
Thanks! I've looked at these instructions a dozen times on ArchosFans and always missed that market was clear cache not clear data and never figured out why it didn't work right for me. With the latest gapps I'm now seeing most everything. Awesome guide!
Edit: For some reason when I use this installer however, TweetDeck will not run properly. It always Force Closes once I've signed into my account and I cannot fix it. This is one of my favorite apps. If someone could figure this out I would appreciate it.
Edit 2: This installer causes a ton of apps not to launch in my experience thus far. TweetDeck as mentioned, Moblox, Angry Birds, they all just FC or hang endlessly. I'd still recommended the other installer with the same steps outlined in this post.
Stupid question but does "reset your device back to stock" mean anything else than a reboot? Like an Android reset or something?

thanks for the advise on market acces update, now finally updated gmail apk
I have the Google Marketplace up and running and for the most part it works wonderfully. My biggest issue are protected applications I use on my HTC EVO aren't showing up and some of these application I really use / enjoy. Some of these are:
1) BatteryView
2) Battery Watch
3) Splash ID!
4) Monster App Pro (I'm using the non-Pro right now)
I've been trying to add the "Market Access" application to the mix to help me with this issue, but thus far can't get z4root to work. Oh, it says it was successful, but none of the programs that need root can get it from the Super User application.
I can live without these protected applications, they are simply nice to have -- except Splash ID!, which IMHO, is necessary to protect my development personal, professional, and development information. I was able to get a work around for Splash ID, for which I'm thankful.

Excuse my ignorance, but how is this at all new? There's been a gapps hack available for every Archos device for quite some time now. It's always been readily available on ArchosFans.com.

It's a different version which allows for more flexibility, especially for updating the two most useful core apps.

It also has less apps in it, saving space for where the apps are installed, especially since Archos only provided around 275~ MB of space for app installation
And not all apps can move to sd card so any space is helpful
All we need now is the Samsung Galaxy Tab email app ported over. If anyone has any idea please share.
Thanks for posting the info for my gAppsInstaller. I've been away from the game for a few days now doing housework "mods" (=
The only issue remaining that I'm aware of with this app is a certain sub-set of apps that FC (AutoZone, OSMonitor and a few others mentioned in this thread. I haven't had time to research, but whatever the gApps4Archos is doing is making these work ok... I'm thinking its some registration of dll files ('so' files perhaps). I do know it copies 4-5 .so files into the froyo/system directory, but i'm not sure right now if I need to do some type of '.so' file registration with them.
If any linux guru's out there know of something I need to do specifically with these (besides copying them to the '/froyo/system' directory, please let me know.

I dont think he created the original gApps4Archos package, he only de-compiled it, added the updated the apps with the newer 2.2 market then vanished.
I think he dropped of the radar after he did the re-package of that app.

My app doesn't include youtube (i required you to get it from the market) so I'm not sure why you say it wont update.

yes i use that and youtube comes with it but it keeps fc and it wont download from market
hello all. i did a dumb thing and used cracked apps now i get gapp failure. also ended up deleting many apps and files from my phone. i tried reading up before i signed up to post. i am running a motorola razr with jelly bean 4.1.2 the x912 and went to a website to root and so on. i ended up downloading luckypatcher and some others. since have removed or reinstalled with play store but now am getting the failure. have titanium pro and backed up the full system to one file but it was after the screw up. need guided through making other backups and wiping or fixing android. i apologize now for not have done the research the first go. of course the website i did use walked you easily through destroying my system but no help on repair.
reason i ask is i dont want to make things worse if there is such a thing. it just sounds above my knowlege to remove the file that patcher put in and make nessicary backups. also not sure if my safestrap file would cause harm.
also stated reinstalled from play store but it was just paying for the licience for apps i think i needed to keep.
installed are titanium pro, super su, and sq lite
missing clockwork mod and busybox but not sure if it is needed?
used a file to bootstrap labeled safestrap razr d4 bio 3.11
used a file to root labeled razriroot zipped.
wanting to keep android for now but want root feature to unlock wifi hot spot
looking deeper into my issues i think i have got more wrong than i know finding missing system apps and now i believe i need to start completly over or new phone.
Can the lucky patcher app remove the patches before uninstall?
solved my own problems

Come to find out there was no lucky patch on this device and errors came from OTA no being finished on device. I started my hack in the middle of transition and got myself confused when I seen .BAK files instead of .APK and when got my head right just reflashed, rooted and strapped and all seems good so far.Thank you to XDA and the endless knowledge on site. You just have to look.

Would like to thank site "rootjunky" for info on fixing self inflicted issues.
Is there currently a way to have both the Amazon App store and the Google Play store working together? On the newest update?
Does rooting have any adverse affects from Amazon? Like will anything stop working?
I plan on buying a used tablet, how can I check to make sure the tablet is deactivated so that I can use my own Amazon stuff on it and it doesn't get marked as stolen?
I may think of other questions I need help with in the meantime, but thanks for any help.

Check out the general section, you will find the anwser you seek. if you have any other questions there is also a search abilility..there are only about a half a dozen threads titled with the same or basically the same as yours...thanks for visiting and I hope you find all the information you need. Previous owner must unregister. the tablet from their account before u received it.and I would attempt to register it and setup your account before cash exchanges hands or contact amazon with id to verify that it has not been blackliisted already, it can either be unregistered by owner from tab then reset . Or done through ther online account..
A lot of the threads I have read seem to have people contradicting or trying to figure out what actually works or not, or is simply outdated.
Yeah, I'm with OP. I have a new Fire HDX and am trying to figure out the 'best' way to root it, and after reading through everything I'm more confused than before.
I haven't taken my Fire out of the box yet. There seems to be discussion that if I haven't downloaded an OTA yet, I can root in a way others can't because the new updates block it?
Is there a known "best" ROM someone can point us to?
Why do I keep seeing everyone say 'don't ever turn on wifi!'? I assume that is just to not get the OTA update at the beginning. But once rooted, obv we can use wifi right?
Is every root method dependant on creating a separate partition for the new ROM, and whenever we use the Kindle we have to choose to use the stock amazon rom or the new ROM we've flashed?
Thanks!
well

Well "root"has nothing to do with seperate partitions n such. root is all permission control over system.
The only way to flash anything currently is being on older os rooting,then installing safestrap which will set up alternate system and data boot path allowing you to flash a ROM separately from your factory os ,as to not disturb it. Because currently we do not have stable working fastboot for this device. As for BEST rom. In any situation is totally in one own experience and opinions. Currently there isn't any selection if u look in development section the only two that function only work on old firmware ...you can roll back to that firmware ..but also bootloader is locked tight thus the need for a "safe" type of recovery as of moment only works on older firmware also. Just.within the last couple of days have reveiled a couple of rooting options for lastest firmware so ...this tab per Amazon gives no warning nor asks permission to upgrade of firmware which unrooted a ton of people last few months...soooo no root no development....now we have root again we will get going again..Have fun and most of all be PATIENT and do not ask for ETA remember all the developers here are doing that on there FreeTime and free of pay most the time. AS FAR as rooting and adding gapps to newest firmware I heard that it has been achieved with HDXPOSED found in development and permission module . Then sideload gapps... As far as adverse effects... Like I said you will have to be patient if you want somebody else to find out bugs for you.. still to new .....due to new root releases..like last three days.
I'm perfectly fine with the stock rom honestly, as long as I can get Google Play store working alongside the Amazon app store. Now, assuming I can root when I receive the tablet, I will install safestrap. Is there any bugs or anything with safestrap but just using the stock rom? I saw some people mention getting permission errors and such but I think that was just for custom roms in another slot. I only want safestrap to make a backup.
Basically, is there any actual danger to modifying the stock rom at all, even something simply like play store? Or should it all be done on a custom rom slot? I would assume having the backup would mean if something got messed up I can just restore it.
Secondly, there is a SEPARATE play store mod you can do where they don't both work together right? I believe I saw something about it where you just have to install a custom launcher, and with the custom launcher the google play apps work but under the amazon launcher, amazon stuff works? If that's correct, does that work without root? Because I can live with that temporarily until root is secured.
Thanks.
nope

As far as I know gapps aside from gmail will not work without root and HDXposed..(fixes permissions)and as far as doing any mods to stock slot it is not advised because of very difficult if even possible recovery due to no fastboot capabilities. Check for bugs for any mods in associated threads. As far as flashing anything ,again I am not sure safestrap is functioning on latest firmware .. And there hasn't been enough time for any development because of the recent rooting capabilities.
Alright, so it sounds like this is what I should do then:
Get tablet
Root it (If I can't, then I stop here)
Install safestrap
Backup
Install the backup on romslot 1??
Make the modifications I want to romslot 1
Is that right?
Also let's assume I can't root it, I can still sideload most apps I want like Gmail, Youtube, etc? (Those aren't on the amazon app store correct?)
yeap

Yeah I would say you just about got the idea .... If it is a brand-new unit you have a possibility that it will be on the old firmware still ... That is why they need to bypass activation skip set up . And check firmware before you hook it to any active Wi-Fi service .. And even if it does or is already updated there is now root available for the latest firmware ... It's just a question whether or not we can get anything else to work along with the latest firmware ... I would be advised if you attempt to run the OTA blocker which comes in the HDX utility you may have Wi-Fi glitches and reboots .... But like I said those bugs need to be checked for and follow through and repaired in their associated threads ... Not a new thread that only plugs up our forums but puts the helpful threads on the next page where cannot find them ... Remember there are multiple pages each forum section and some of the helpful threads have been buried on the next page due to people starting new threads with the same questions or problem... That have been resolved already... Remember reading is more informative than typing . And remember if anybody here is giving you their personal time to answer your questions and respond to your post it is courtesy here to hit the thanks button in the left lower corner of the post.End rant. thx

Hello, I have a Redmi Note 3 Pro running sMiUI (based on the Xiaomi.eu ROM) but this seems to be irrelevant.
while this strange behaviour doesn't seem to be limited to this device, being noted here and here, it does seem that the symptoms are the same.
In the SuperSU logs i found that firstly Whatsapp tried to gain root and was denied, followed by zygote requesting 3 times over the following few hours. The log for each is blank.
I have just rebooted my device and after unlocking whatsapp immediately requested root. Yet to see zygote request root again but I'll update you should it appear.
UPDATE: Whatsapp has again requested root.
UPDATE2: WhatsApp continues to request, however zygote has not. It appears to be happening every half-hour (ish)
U3: uninstalled WhatsApp, will see what happens at the half-hour mark.
Anyone know what's going on?
Also some probably irrelevant weirdness but I'll write it anyway given this only started appearing after this happened:
My phone did something weird earlier, I restarted, and normally on my ROM it just has a spinning little loading thingy in the middle of an otherwise blank screen, then goes off and reboots, showing the Mi logo, this time however it randomly showed a kinda-pulsating android logo shortly after the usually " spinning loading icon" and then continued to the usual Mi logo. Given I'm running sMiUI I've never seen it display a large android logo before like this. I just rebooted again and this behaviour was not repeated.
Try xiaomi.eu rom, or stock rom. Or might be you're just installed modified WhatsApp and zygote apk from untrusted source. I don't use sMIUI

The struggle I went through to get off of the vendor ROM, I'm not going back to stock. sMiUI was based on the Xiaomi.eu ROM, so the zygote is probably straight out of that.
I have installed WhatsApp from Google Play so I assume it doesn't get more secure than that. I've made no attempt to replace zygote, I don't really know what it does, something about starting apps.
The ROM I'm using doesn't seem to be remotely relevant to this, given it's happened on 3 different devices from different brands as I can see from the links I provided.
It doesn't make any sense. WhatsApp is used to not request any root permission unless it's infected by mallware. You can try to use xiaomi.eu rom alongside with 3rd party mods instead of use pre-moded rom from sMIUI.

Indeed, last WhatsApp update was 13th December, so I would have seen this happening before today if it was in normal WhatsApp. This is nothing to do with sMiUI, I've had this ROM installed for many months now with no issues.
And as previously stated it is based on Xiaomi.eu ROM.
But yes my suspicion is malware, however it's not specific to MIUI or any varients as this was also occurring on a Galaxy S5 and another device.
Everyone: Please read the entire thread before replying so I don't have to keep restating facts
Hey, i have same problem too, im using redmi note 2, today i get notif, whatsapp need access root, after several minute, zygote need access root too, now i deny that access at super su
first time root/customrom/kernel etc.
Ive had the same thing happen..First time I thought it was strange though and denied permision was with the zygote thing asking permission...ive granted whatsapp and whatsapp extensions permisson for example cause i thought that was just the way it worked. ive granted LMT permission and a couple more apps
thought it was more of a windows type "" do you trust this program to do things" type thing.
things is my, installation is pretty fresh. and I dont get where I should've gotten malware from
htcm8/Viperrom/elementalx kernel
bunch of file explorers (sdmaid /totalcommander) and terminals all from the playstore. Xposed installer and a couple modules that all seemed reputable with ongoing xda threads and downloaded from the original source. amplify/bootmanager(something with that maybe?)/chromepie/secure settings for a tasker profile/minminguard.
you see something we have in common on the phone?
phone is running fine..nothing strange. The zygote i got for the first time today and I denied and hopped on google...whatsapp is in my rootlog constantly. i see the greybox popping up every once in a while that root was granted. never thought anything of it.
today I installed termux ternimal from the playstore...maybe thats where the zygote su request comes from?
---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------
from what I see elsewhere the whatsapp extension module in xposed, which is a root app might have something to do with the whatsapp requests. I dont exactly know how these things work but the altering might explain app doing thing they normally dont do.
dont know about zygote...got it one time and it has not been back
Same here.
I'm on a fresh install and this zygote su request wasn't appearing until I reinstalled all my apps.
Another forum states that zygote is run at such a raw level that it simply would never request root.
I am for now denying su requests with little to no adverse effects.
Can anyone confirm for certain that zygote should never need to request root? Is there anyway to dig out the rogue source/apk when av apps are showing nill?
As I have nothing Whatsapp on my phone, thinking it may be an xposed mod. Might be a good idea for us to list are xposed mods so we can cross reference. Not sure?

Hey guys
Its been a few year since I rooted. don't worry ive already spotted the guide on how to.
My question is once im rooted. Does the old Xposed framework thingy still exist?
What app are we using for govenor/kernel control?
Is titanium backup still a good option?
Basically, whats my app suite gonna look like when im done? How am I going about tweaking my phone?
I guess im asking whats your set of default apps for your rooted phone. Mangment, tweak, backuo, gapps etc
If you have the xperia xz1, which is on android 8, oreo I don't believe Xposed framework is working on oreo yet. I also believe only one kernal is working to get root, not sure if it has any governor controls though. Titanium is still good for removing unwanted bloat.
To answer about xposed, it still work on oreo but this is a beta take a look at my attachment, I have a XZ1 Running oreo 8.0.0 firmware 47.1.A.12.75 and Xposed is working on it, I flashed it through TWRP
Hope it helped
Thank you
Just wanting to get back on the root shoot.
Even if im just rooting and trimming all the fat out. Xposed looks good. Cant wait to take all the bloatware out. Is there a "safe to remove" list about? At work ATM, but will be diving right into this this week

from trial and error there isn't a lot of "safe to remove" items, I trimmed out 5 maybe 6 items before the rom got squirrelly.
This is just from memory but I got rid of avg, chrome (I use Iron browser) email and exchange, amazon and wiki links, as well as the system facebook and youtube ( to give more control over those items) Just about anything else resulted in apps force closing or other issues
Thanks guys,
Seems like its all just about how it was. Give or take a few apps.
My last thing I wonder is, how do I run barclays bank app? Im pretty sure it'll not run due to the root. Is there a way round this? Sandbox or something?
I think I just found my answer. Wondering what Magisk was ???
So with magisk I can run banking apps etc. It will also manage all of my root blah blah. Xposed can help me **** about with things. Titanium backup. And new OS.
I think im ready now ?
If you run Xposed, you lose a large chunk of the MagiskHide capabilities. You're better off without Xposed and just using Magisk
Really? That's bad. I remember xposed was fun. I shall have a read up on Magisk when I get time.
Planning on the weekend. So I can have a full day of it ?

I recommend you to use EXKM (for kernel control) and FX File Browser (with the root addon) for all the debloating and modifications in the system folders.
Hey,
Ive never heard of EXKM. But still using FX browser since last time I rooted. Never switched ?
Hello.
You can install greenify4magisk, sd maid for cleaning, myandroidtool (do what amplify do but without Xposed)

EXKM = ElementalX Kernel Manager.
Works perfect with XZ1 / XZ1 Compact.

Thank you. Been busy as hell this week. But shall be rooting asap
ok so.
Ive unlocked the bootloader
followed this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1/how-to/guide-how-to-persistant-root-xperia-xz1-t3718375
And everything worked fine
But i want to install CarbonROM
At what point in that guide do i install CarbonROM? Because my phone has been sat here at the boot "Sony" screen for about 30 mins now, and im pretty sure its not gonna boot up
Ok,
This is doing my head in now.
Twice now ive had to do a full reinstall, how in the living hell do I get xposed installed ontop of magisk?
I think install the xposed installer, then the SDK 26 from magisk. Then reboot? But it bootlooped on me?
Did I technogology wrong?

On the latest version ( .179) , you can't use xposed with magisk. There is nothing to do but waiting right now . We have to wait beta 4 or whatever.
Ah, right.
But am I getting the install procedure correct?
Im not even sure theres anything in closed I actually want. But its an option, therefore I must put it in ?
