Bluetooth File transfer Problem. Help!!

I tried Sending a .apk file to my dell xc35 via bluetooth but it says "remote device rejected your request". But i can share songs and pics. What is the problem? Is there a solution to this?

Install "Bluetooth file transfer" on blade and then it accepts any file.

Just rename it on mp3 or png ^^

Maybe the android version is different and it doesn't support ur apk

Bluetooth connections only exchange data. So apks working on one will still get sent to the other as its only a file. Whether the other is able to open it or not is a different case. Try pairing first and then send.

Ofcourse it was paired. Nothing worked though.

Just rename the file wirh. Mp3 or. Png, i have solved this prob like this when i was not able to transfert zip and apk

I don't think so. My friend has a nexus s with official ics and when he tries to send me an apk it says on his phone that the receiving device does not support it
Sent from my Supernatural Blade

I was too having this problem but by using root explorer pro version it solved
But even then if the problem is not solved install a custom rom

@OP. If you don't have Root explorer or don't want to purchase it,try Explorer from SpeedSoftware. Its just a free version without root access.
Sent from my ZTE Blade using XDA app

or you can put it in a zip file and send it, or reboot your phone

try to use BTF from Medieval Software, it's free

I might be able to send files by root explorer but what about recieving?

try the above app I wrote.

you can download Bluetooth file transfer from google play

Maybe you need to tick the box under applications in settings that says 'unknown sources' to allow you to receive apps from sources other than the market, that may be what's causing the issue with the .apk transfer. Give that a shot!

[Q] Replacing stock keyboard with Xperia one.

Hey!
I can't stand the keyboard with the stock ROM so would like to replace it with the Xperia one from my Xperia P (ICS) which I think is almost perfect.
So I copied the (textinput-tng) apk from my phone over to the N7 and installed it, and all looks well; can configure the keyboard, etc.
Problem is, every time the keyboard tries to start up, it FC's
Does anyone know of any hack that'll get the keyboard working, or is it some unreconcilable differences between ICS and JB (or maybe some Sony propriety code)?
Cheers!
n.b. N7 is unlocked, rooted, on stock ROM with Clemsyn's elite kernel.

Installed the app via the apk so didn't think I'd have to change the permissions, but when I checked the file in data/app, the permissions were the same as the other files -wr-r--r--

[Q] Theme Incoming call screen on Galaxy Y?

Is there a way to choose/make/browse themes [FULL] only for incoming call screens? Especially for Samsung Galaxy Y, the stock answering call is really bad.
Is it possible to download / theme the incoming call screen via Metamorph? And where to find such themes for Samsung Galaxy Y?
I already know about some third-party apps on Play store such as Ultimate Call Screen HD, but they don't do what I need.
p.s. I'm NOT looking either for ROMs with different incoming call screens (I'm here for a simple way to theme the incoming call screens for android)

I decompiled Phone.apk
there are many xml files and png images, I'm looking for the images that targets "specifically" the incoming call screen items such as the background, frames, sliders. What are the png/xml file names to tweak those specific things

Wow... I couldn't find the background image for the incoming call screen, neither the answering sliders.
Anyway, I found many Phone.apk online for different ROMs and different Android devices. Is it OK if I used any for my Galaxy Y?

I think ya, coz some of my system app is from custom rom n I am using stock rom just give it a try, is it work or not. N do a backup before changing the app

I downloaded several Phone.apk(s) from the net, but every time I try to install one it asks me that "this is a system app, do you want to replace" and say yes but then it says (Application not installed)
What could be wrong? and how to fix it?

I think you should flash via cwm. Well, i am a beginner but even i changed my default one. But pls confirm with senior members. I think you have to flash it

I tried flashing the flashable APK but with no success, it displayed "installation aborted" at the end.

Yes I agree with koradiavatsal, u should flash through cwm, or try this, copy the file (Phone.apk) to /system n set permission to rw-r--r-- n then move n replace it to /system/app, then reboot. If this not succesfull the one way is flash it through cwm

Before I continue to to the replacement inside the system/app directory...
Is it ok to replace even if the Phone.apk is made for ICS or JB? I of course use GB.

What tool do u use? For settings u edit setting_header.xml where is that present and all u must be knowing?!
After clicking on compiling apk manager asks to delete resources.arc and also the xml you edited. Then compile it should.
