hi all,
I got a problem. I am now using Nexus 7 with 4.2 (multi user support)
I have 2 users on my Nexus 7. I want to install the same APK on both users. I can install the APK on the primary user successfully. However, for the 2nd user, whenever I finished the APK installation, it states the APK is not installed.
Is there any settings or tick allowing me to install APK on the 2nd user?
Many thanks

You are doing it wrong...
When you set up a second user, they have their own account. On that user, open the Play store.
Under options, click Add account and enter the account you use on your main user.
Uncheck all the Synch options.
Now you will see all the apps you installed on the main user.
Just click Install on all the ones you want the second user to have.
They will install instantly - no download - and a symlink will be set to your main copy.
This way you never have two copies of the same app eating up your space.
At this point you can delete the Play store reference to your main account or just leave it.
Note: Don't use Root with multiuser until someone fixes it. Lag will make the nexus unuseable.

Are you sure you can install 3rd Party on Primary and Secondary users on 4.2.1? I have just tried. Still can't install 3rd Party APK on the Secondary user.
Is there any settings for this?

if you sideload the app using your PC through adb it will show up in both the primary and secondary user. I'm not sure if it matters but I would probably make sure you are in the primary when connecting with adb.
I also have this problem. If I use apkextractor the file works in primary user, but when i move it to secondary the apk corrupts
Anyone has this problem?

It's true, transferring the apk from ur computer to your android device using adb will make the apk visible to both the primary and secondary user.
What I did was:
Setup the adb thing (which was a quite an ordeal on it's own).
Then using the push command, transferred my apk to my device.
adb push C:\path\to\file\origianlFileName.apk /sdcard/Download/newFileName.apk
I chose a new filename (MCPE.apk) because the original had spaces and was long and hard to memorize.
The transfer was successful, but when I check to see if it was there, using ASTRO File Manager and also Windows,
the file name was the original file name (what it was called on my computer). Installing it at this point didn't work.
But then I renamed the file (using windows) back to "MCPE.apk" and THEN it installed correctly!!
YAY!!
Also before installing, I made the secondary user a developer, by that weird "Build Number" trick.
Not sure if that has any effect..
I am unable to install apk from my secondary user ,I even tried to rename the apks , I am able to download apps from playstore , the same apks install fine under the primary user , though enabled unknown sources option is greyedout for secondary user and I am not able to enable developer option for the secondary user ( the build tap procedure doesn't seems to work ) , I am on 4.4.2 , did anyone able to get through this ?

I may know the issue.
If you install an APK on the primary user and if you have updated the version of such APK to a newer version before you install the original APK to the Second user account, you will have such problem.
So, make sure to install on both user accounts with same APK.

Or do I need to download and re-install it(I had it on my rooted stock firmware)? Forgive me if I come across as stupid.
You need to download gapps.

I've already downloaded and installed them via TWRP, but I dont see the market listed in my apps. Is it just built into the CM7 system now? because when I press the searchbar I have the option to search the market. I'm not connected to wifi at my house so i can't tell otherwise.
If it doesn't show in your app drawer, then use root explorer to install it. I had to install it manually after installing gapps. It was located @ /system/app/vending.apk - I just clicked it and installed it. After that, a quick reboot and I was good.
There's a new app come out that I can install on my galaxy nexus but if I try to install it from my xoom is says something like "this app is not supported by your device".
I would like to try it because it would be far more useful on the xoom than on my phone. Is there any way to over-ride the market and force it to install?
Thanks,
If you're being prompted that the app is not supported for your device, what makes you think it will work if you do happen to get it installed?

It's brand new so I'm guessing the omission of tablets might be a mistake. If it works on the GN (ICS), shouldn't it work on the xoom since it has scaling?
The app may not work for your device. But the workaround for what you want to do is: goto security and allow installation from unknown sources. Now download a file manager like root browser. Next, on your pc goto the market and download the app. Save it to your sd card. Put the sd card back in the xoom. Open root browser and brows to sdcard-ext. Search for your app. You can then install the app.....may not work though, if not optimized for tablet or ICS.

And if that ^^^^ does not work u would need to edit the apk to disable device check, but that would include some in depth Modding of the smali files, however if it says its not comparable odds are its just not... for instance I've modded the Hbogo app, and it would install and run on the Xoom without giving me the "device not supported" but when I tried playing a video it would just force close...meaning it was actually not compatible, so long way around, but odds are if it says not comp the odds are it won't actually work

I read your problem it sound like storage space problem. You will have already installed many programs into you Motorola Xoom mobile. There will be less space left. When you are trying to install any new application it does not allow. Once you achieve 90 percent of the disk space it does not allow further any installation. That remaining space is used for small program or running program. So to know actual problem first uninstall some application to get some more free space then try to install the new application. I think this may help you.
Hey everyone,
I'm facing a problem which is kind of strange, today I tried installing an apk to my nexus 7 3g , the thing is I cannot press on the install button. I enabled install from unknown source already.
The strange thing is I can press on cancel but I cannot press on the install button ... shall i flash the stock again?
I'm on 4.2.1
Thanks
What is the app? Have you tried installing from Play or is this something you downloaded and are trying to side load? Incompatible apps won't install by design.
If the Install button doesn't respond, it means something is preventing the installation. The app may be incompatible or a file may be missing.
Go to setting security .. uncheck verify apps.... .Typing this from memory but i think that is where its at.... This is likely your issue.. Let us know..

Did you look at all of the permissions it is requesting? It won't let you press install unless you've read all of the permissions.

I've been able to install my own apk files until two days ago. Now with the exact same apk that worked before, the Install button won't do anything at all. The Cancel button works fine. I've tried all the steps described in other posts for other devices but nothing works. I haven't changes anything on the tablet but the auto updated do occur.
Has anyone solved this problem yet?
Thanks.
I feel like you have to scroll to the bottom of the permissions list.

Try Googling "viber android apk download"or add your tablet name in the end to be specific. and download the apk,install and if warning shows up just tick 'install apps from unknown sources' then continue installation.Done.

If an app need access to your contact, doesn't matter if you got it from the Play Store or sideload, it required the same permission.
Install on your phone, extract from phone and install on tablet. Sometimes it work sometimes it doesn't.
If your nexus is rooted.
You can use adb to pull it
Adb pull /data/app "full name of apk" "location on pc you want it to go"
Or use a file explorer with root rights to go to /data/app and copy it to your sdcard.

It works on my Wi-Fi only tablet. I just use the same number I had on my phone. When u first open it'll ask for a phone number. You can just use any number that u have access to. It will send a text with a confirmation to that number. Just check the phone and enter the confirmation number on the tablet, then you're good to go.

Hey all,
I'm coming from the Samsung Epic 4G touch ..... thankfully off sprint ......... that was a horrible 4 years of abysmal coverage .. slow speeds when it would connect .. and random disconnects thrown in just for fun....
I'm pulling crazy fast speeds everywhere I go ... Hit 50Mbps this morning on my commute..
However, one thing I liked about my samsung was that there was an APK to bypass the exchange security pin ...
Anybody know if the Epic 4g Touch (Sprint version of SGS2) APK will work on the G2? or if there is a version out there that will accomplish this ?
I saw one for the GS4 ...

This is how I did it.. file explorer ... install
It just then goes to a screen that says not installed and your only option is to exit.

I just did this on my own before seeing your post- hopefully you will find this useful.
I used this set of APKs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965468
Grab Email-JB.apk and Exchange2.apk
First, you need to completely uninstall (not just freeze) the LG Email app. I used Titanium Back to do this- make a backup of the app first in case you ever wanted to go back for whatever reason. Once the LG Email app is uninstalled, you can install the 2 AOSP APKs.
I didn't try installing them normally (download->open->install), it's worth a shot- instead I used the directions in the post to push the APKs via ADB.
You should see "Success" after pushing both via ADB (I did Exchange2.apk first, but I can't imagine it would matter). Unplug your phone, open Email, and you're set. My Email is syncing perfectly with my corporate email, no lock screen password required.

YES!!!!!!!!!! This totally works..
Thank you for looking out, and thanks for posting this ... I've been waiting to be able to add this .. and having to carry 2 phones to check email because I didnt want to be pinlocked on my G2!!
My procedure -
Rom tool box free for the uninstall, the titanium way didnt work for me because I have TWRP installed .. and when it would try the recovery removal .. it would boot to TWRP instead of the stock recovery ...
Anyways, Rom Toolbox free has an uninstall utility, couldnt be easier .. uninstalls without a reboot needed.
Turned on wireless storage, copied over exchange2.apk and Email-jb.apk and installed through android .. didnt use the ADB method .... it works perfectly!!!!!!
Thanks again.
That works. Only downside is it removed the feature of peak and off peak for message retrieval. oh well.

Tried this several ways, but it does not install. Can u give some more direction on this? Do we put itf in the apps folders? Flash it? Any advice would be appreciated. I like the lg email app and don't want to go back to the stock one if possible.
if someone figures out how to do this with the stock email app that comes with the att version, that would be awesome. I like that version better than the one you have to install to get this to work.
I really hate having to use a pin, but I have to give my work permission to remote wipe my phone. Is there any chance this could be flagged by my employer and they remote wipe my phone? That would really suck because of the lack of memory card. Anybody that has been remote wiped, did it affect the entire phone, or just the main system?
