Install APK file fails - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I rooted my Edge with the Unikernel en put custom recovery on it.
All is working fine so far, but when I put an APK file on the phone and want to install
it then I got the message that installing is not possible because there is no space enough.
When I install something from the playstore all is going fine, so I think the message that there is
not enough space is not correct. Is there anyway how I can solve this?

Install failed, out of space (not even close)

I've got annoying problem with my X+. Im trying to install a 20MB apk file but it fails with the error out of space. There's plenty of space left (around 40GB) and I have had no problems insalling even larger apk files.
Im running stock rom, rooted, busybox installed and custom recovery. I've cleaned all cache (except dalvik-cache). The APK file is being installed from the phone itself, not via google play. My guess it has something to do with the temporary files this APK file is creating, so is there something I can do, like edit init.rc or something like that. Custom ROMs are out of the question as Im very happy with the stock.

Updating Xiaomi mi2s problems

Hi all,
A few days ago i got my Xiaomi Mi2S 32gb. I have several problems with this device (wifi not working on my home wifi 95% of the time, play store stops working EVERY time after 1 second etc.) and therefore would like to update to the multi language rom. There is a simple guide that provides 2 options to do this.
1. The first one is by using the updater app that should be preinstalled
2. Flashing it using ROM manager --> reboot into recovery.
I currently have MIUI- JLB13.0 (stable) and android version 4.1.1 JRO03L.
Weirdly enough i do NOT have the folder "security center" and therefore do NOT have the updater application so this is not an option. The other option is flash it. I'm kind of a noob so i tried finding out how and it sais that i can use ROM manager for that. Just put the new rom on the sd card, reboot into recovery and voila. This application however has problems as there is no superuser found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su" meaning it is not rooted. Normally people can just go to the LBE guard in the folder "security center" and tell the phone it's ok to root, which is impossible in my case.
If i want to manage permissions and then go to manager root permission it sais "ROOT is not available in MIUI stable" and that i have to change to a developer version to enable root permission. Of course i can then download verion JLB18.0 but how on earth can i get it on there? I could use the MiFlashSetup provided by Xiaomi, but the phone it not recognized when i link it to my pc with USB so that doesn't work either...
I'm very frustrated right now, been working on this phone for days and it still doesn't work so please help me!

If you DO NOT have updater application then it is probably fake, therefore you have so much problems.

[Q] How to Root Nabi 2 with Version 2.1 update installed

I just installed the 2.1 update on my child's Nabi 2. I would like to root it so that she could have some of the apps in the Google Play Store. Can I use Nabi Lab 2 to root it, or has there been an update since then? I download Nabi Lab 2, and it said in the instructions that I needed to be on version 1.9.37 so I was afraid to use it. Any information on how to root my Nabi 2 with the latest update on it would be greatly appreciated.

I guess the short answer is no you cannot use Nabi Lab, or any other program right now, to take a stock Nabi at 2.1.27 and install root and gapps.
The more descriptive version is: There is ~504MB of space where the ROM, root, and gapps(with Google Play) need to go. The 2.1.27 install takes I think around 497MB, root is small but uses ~1M, Gapps uses maybe ~40M. That puts ~538MB into what can only hold ~504MB. Basically it doesn't all fit.
There hasn't really been a consensus on what is the best method to work around this. The easiest is to delete some kids applications and use that space for Gapps. For example the Wings software(apks) is close to 100MB. Deleting that gives more then enough space, but it's not optimal for those that have kids that want Wings. It is by far the best bang for the buck. 2 huge files. A lot of the other kids software is 3-5MB, and you have to delete 8 or 9 of them.
The general premise would be:
Stock tablet on 2.1.27
Use NabiLab/or whatever to Install TWRP and then MAKE A BACKUP!
Install Root
In Android use a Root file explorer such as ES File Explorer(I think it's still downloadable on the Nabi store/Amazon) and delete some apps in /system/vendor/apps
Use TWRP/Nabilab to install Gapps.
OR
Stock tablet on 2.1.27
Use NabiLab/or whatever to Install TWRP and then MAKE A BACKUP!
Use TWRP file manager to delete some apps in /system/vendor/apps
Use TWRP/Nabilab to install Root and Gapps.
If that sounds like something you want to try but need more detail on exactly how let us know.
mehtuus just made a beta version of ROOT installer for Nabi that should remove Wings automatically. Easier then the by hand method, it's beta but he does good work.

Thanks
Thanks so much for the quick reply. You gave me some great information. Do you think I should go ahead and root it or would it be better to wait a little while until more info is known about this issue?

Really depends on how much you would miss Wings. I think we will make a way to keep Wings. Just haven't got it there yet. It's not so much an issue, as it is: will you miss Wings app?
Can't get TWRP to work
I'm endlessly frustrated, and I'm hoping there is just some stupid little thing I'm overlooking.
Have an older Nabi 2. Rooted fine, Gapps working fine, great.
Have a newer Nabi 2 for my older child. I CANNOT cannot cannot get TWRP to install or work. I have the ADB drivers installed. It's recognized in the device manager. Nabi is connected. PDAnet is installed properly. ADB debugging is on. This is a brand new stock Nabi 2, version 2.1. I just keep getting the stupid dead red exclamation point android dude. I've used every method I have found on this site. NabiLab is what I used for the older Nabi with no problems. Example:
I run NabiLab. Device is detected, plugged in. Go to install recovery and root. It gets to the "Press enter when you see text on the screen after Nabi logo" and then the Nabi just gets stuck on the logo screen, indicating the drivers aren't installed. But they ARE installed. I'm about to throw this against the wall. I can reboot the device with the power and up keys and the "text on the screen" does appear, but it just goes to the dead android afterward. Can anyone help?
I'd be also interested in figuring out the definitive way to root and stick on gapps on this with the latest update.

It's pretty messy. Everyone seems to be rolling with the "delete Wings" way, but it haphazard and confusing to almost everyone. I'm still up in the air for a way to make an automated script for those that aren't technical and would like a one click solution.
Funny timing I just finished writing a post on my blog about it.
http://nabtabhacks.com/
I am really confused about rooting my son's Nabi 2. Everyone says remove wings and it should be able to root, but I did that and still can't root it. Just curios if it is possible because I read a report that said there was software in the 2.1 update to stop people from rooting it. I've been going at this since noon and tried everyway I could find and it still doesn't work.
I'm not able to remove wings for some reason it cannot find it :/
Anyone have any suggestions?

Code:
rm: can't remove '/system/vendor/app/fuhu_WingsChallenge.apk': No such file or directory
rm: can't remove '/system/vendor/app/fuhu_WingsUniversity.apk': No such file or directory

If your only wanting a few gapps, and not full root there is a simple method.
Using your google chrome browser on your PC, download and install apk downloader extension for browser. Use any google account info from any rooted device to register with apk downloader. Then go to play store on browser, search for app u need, then instead of hitting install, click the apk downloader extension button in toolbar. It will download the apk to your PC. Then simply transfer the apk file to your nabi.
Hope this helps.

Stuck in a crazy perdicament! Please help!

Hey all,
Okay so my best friend is a quadriplegic..He gave me a Digix Tablet model Tab-730,android 4.0.4,base band V1.10_20120929,kernal ver,3.0.8+,4 gb external card and 2 gb internal, to root so I could help him get the most out of his device with accessibility and such..Anyways I successfully rooted it with Bin5ary,and now I have a huge issue I cant fix....
Every time I reboot,it factory resets itself..Every time still showing superSU as an active app..
Then I cant install more than 1 app without it saying its full and to manage my apps..
I read online its a problem with busybox and to copy /system/sbin/busybox to system/bin and reboot..First of ll theres no /system/sbin/busybox to begin with because I cant get busybox in the system...I can make changes with a good file manager downloaded apk from my email,but cant install busybox after..I can install busybox first but then my stock file manager isnt letting me access root!
Please help my buddy and I out! Endless thanks to anyone who can!

Have I "Bricked" My Tab?

Recently installed the great Lollipop 5.1.1 ROM by decatf. Had some minor problems, and then learned about the 6.0.1 ROM. Downloaded the zip files for ROM and GAPPS, copied to the TAB, booted into TWRP, and tried to install. System went OK, but when I tried to install GAPPS, got a message about "not enough memory". Without GAPPS, the Tab doesn't do much. After several attempts, I told TWRP to wipe everything (checked all the boxes under wipe). Now, of course, I have NO FILES on the Tab, and seem to have no way to get files there. i.e., without a ROM on the Tab, I cannot drag files from the PC.
Looked for a file that I could install with ODIN. No luck.
Loaded ADB on my PC and tried "Sideload" under TWRP's advanced menu. Sideload says:
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to stat '/data/.layout_version'
...done
Full SELinux support is present.]
MTP Enabled
Starting ADB sideload feature...​
On the PC, I get Total xfer: 0.00x
and on TWRP it says "Failed"​
It's embarassing, but I've run out of ideas. It looks like ALL I have is TWRP. If I could get the ROM and GAPPS to the Tab, I could install them.
Can somebody please point me toward a solution?
Thanks

THANKS for the speedy and helpful response. To clarify, click "Enable MTP" once and the button changes to "Disable MTP", click on "Disable", then click on "Enable" a second time. When "Enabled", the p4wifi appears on the Windows File Explorer list. I drag the ROM file and Windows says "Copying". HOWEVER, the file does not copy. Maybe it's my driver? Downloaded Samsung Kies and reinstalled. Rebooted PC. Same thing happens.
Darn it, this SHOULD have worked.
Return to Stock?
Maybe the only choice left is to search for a stock (Samsung) image file for the p4wifi, use ODIN to flash that, and then start over with the 6.0.1 ROM?
Success...... (almost)
Downloading a stock ROM turns out to be more frustrating than one might think. i.e. Samsung doesn't seem to make ROM's available, and the web sites one gets to all appear to want a 'subscription' to download in less than a couple of hours. (I went to bed and let it go overnight!) What's the deal that there seems to be a Samsung "Region Code" for everyplace except the USA?
Used ODIN to flash the stock ROM. Once the tablet booted up, I copied 6.0.1 and flashed with TWRP. BUT..... had a devil of a time flashing gapps. Got an error, "not enough space on System partition" for every version of open gapps larger than "nano". WTF? The device is basically empty! How can there be not enough space?
Anyway, thanks to decatf, I now enjoy Android Marshmallow on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 when most commercially available tablets (except Nexus, of course) are still on Lollipop or older.
Thanks for the helpful suggestions and patience on this forum.
My original problem, alas, remains. The Amazon Kindle app does not work on this Marshmallow ROM, and it is unclear what can be done, or even where to turn for help.
Success at Last
Thanks to a post about a different software issue, I tried loading an older version of the Amazon Kindle app. Bizarre, but true . . . . now it works!
Have successfully read one of the Kindle books which caused the Kindle app to force close before.
In fact, it appears that Google Play has since updated that old Kindle app to the latest version (4.19.0.131) and it still works.
Maybe loading the older version set something up that the very newest version does not when loaded from scratch?
Anyway, I'm reading and this old Tablet lives on!
Thanks
