Could be possible that they either are not supported by sgs4 or they need to be system apps which would than be required to be pushed to /system/app...but since you said they are third party apps id assume that they are nit supported bt the s4...im on mf3 base (not official ota though) and ive been able to install the google edition camera just fine which is a thrid party app

yes SIR i have that checked already.
all the information is up there I said it won't let me install 3rd party apps ANYMORE[hint] and if I didn't check that box it wouldn't let me get to the install screen[hint] or yet even download. But mg2195 think answered the question for me? I believe the apps weren't compatible with the phone but I mean I was trying to install some apk and it wouldn't let me.

Good Deal.. Glad it worked out!

I had the same problem and it was caused by apps that changed my screen. For me in particular it was twilight.

It's worth a try. Uninstall it and try installing another apk.

Market alternative

Hello everyone, I'm happy to say that I'm hosting a 'market' specifically for Sprint Hero root users. If anyone is interested in this, you can install it on your phone in a few steps.
First, download the market program and install it on your phone. It's at http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/dl/Aptoide.apk
Once you install it, launch it and press no to add their default repository. Then, press menu>Manage repo>menu>New repository. The url to the repository should be EXACTLY:
http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/repo/files/
After that, go back and you should be able to see the applications. If you're a developer and have a application you'd like to add, or have a question, feel free to email me: [email protected].
Yes, I know there aren't many applications in it right now.

Is there a way to see what's availible in your market from the computer?

Depends: A pretty way? No. A basic way? Yes.
http://app2.bikcmp.com/repo/files/ has a directory listing of the apk's, and you can download them from there too.

Market fix for Insufficient Space Error

When trying to download apps off the android market i got the error "Insufficient Space" even thought i had over 250mb internal and 3GB external.
I have tried all the guides to get this working, from force closing market and clearing data/cache etc to using the adb command method to move it to SD Card but nothing worked.
I came accross a FREE app on the android market. I simply installed and ran the app and pressed the button. Then tried the market again and it fixed the error!
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE APP
I did not create this app, i simply want to share it with others because i know it was a complete pain. Make sure you give the app good feedback in the market.
I get that error a lot... Will try the app
Sent from my Xperia Play
let me know how it goes. i literally tried everything and it is soo much hassle.
If you cant even download this app let me know and i will put the APK on dropbox for you.
Its so simple. press one button and a second later you can download any apps from the market.
Worked on Desire with MIUI.us 2.3.2
The irony! Got the error whilst trying to download this app. I'm unrooted anyways though

Thanks. But requires ROOT access.

Thanks for posting this... I had to wipe and reflash CM7 several time over the last week because this kept happening to me. I think this fixed it. YAY!!!!!
easier way: clear cache in clockworkmod, you cache is full and so the app cannot be downloaded to the cache...
Great thanks !!
wow thanks dude.
this is very helpful, and it WORKS. GREAT JOB !!
Doesn't work!
Is there something similar for non-root access?
App cache cleaner used to work for me

I am un-rooted on 2.3.3 and I get around this by uninstalling updates on the Google Play Store App [defaults back to the original store with the green icon]. The App will automatically update again over time to the modern Play Store, but you can just repeat the process when you want to update something.
it solved my problem. thank you very much

Where does the APK file need to go, do you need to run the APK, and what permissions need to be used??
Thank you
Just wondering does anyone have any more info on this??
Has anyone got this to work on a Verizon Phone ??
Might there need to be a second file to go with this??
Also it is not clear where to put the file and or if people should run the APK once the have it on the phone.
Thank you
It doesnt work like that guys,you cant just install it.It goes along with more than one file ( i think 3..) and there is work to be done possibly from a developer,in order for the phone to recognize it.

I was kind of thinking that we would need more then just the one file.
Maybe someone can chime in on this and figure out what the other files are??

This. Works perfectly for Sprint LS980 - not sure about other carriers.
NextRadio only lists compatibility with some Sprint phones. I don't know if OP can somehow sideload it to make it work.
Any way to install the radio APK?
I have an international LG G2 (802), which came with a radio app.
I would like to reinstall it, now that I've install Cyanogenmod.
Can this be done somehow?

Sorry can't buy PRO version of TB.
Try other Launchers or install "Uninstaller or Debloater" apps. Make sure to back up the deleted app in case of something.
search for "pull up from fake jap" - this was included in my ROM X-Note and works perfectly, you might find a standalone version
do not freeze/uninstall mymag, otherwise the stock sms and e-mail apps will force close from time to time
hope i could help

There is another utility at the playstore called "Root Uninstaller" which
has options to freeze apps too, this is the free version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.free
Good luck!
I download this awhile ago and I recently flashed it using mobile odin on latest tw rom nf4 and it still works.
It removes the swipe up action.

Oh I wish I've read more before deleting MyMagazine... after rooting with CF & Odin 3.09.
I was unable to restore it using SuperSU, so I tried to copy MagazineHome.apk & .odex to /system/app , but it didn't help. I tried to launch the MagazineHome.apk and install it, but it couldn't install. (i found those filez under the Verizon Note 3 threads... maybe this caused it ? )
or even worse... is Knox causing this?
I'd love to get my Stock email working again without crashing everytime when new mail is coming.
Help anyone?
You need to give permission to magazine.apk and reboot

RESOLVED: Noob Question: How can I track down installation issue?

Hi,
I'm running a stock rooted Samsung S4 GPE (Google Play Edition) aka 9505G on t-mobile.
I'm trying to install an app via the play store but using market helper to spoof the device as a regular Galaxy S4 9500 otherwise the app does not show up.
The app starts installing then says "Error" with "Missing Shared Library". How can I find out what the missing dependency is? The aLogCat phone app doesn't give me any output. Would adb help?
People say the app needs system/framework/org.simalliance.openmobileapi.jar and system/SmartcardService.apk which I copied/pasted with the right permissions. SmarcardService didn't come with my non-touchwiz S4 and it doesn't seem to want to run. Could this be the problem? How do I get it running?
Thanks everyone in advance!

Hi,
It's a totally free app called softcard (formerly isis) wallet. It's only available for tmobile/att/verizon I think using the carrier phones. I have google wallet but for certain reasons I need to sign up for softcard/isis using the app which is very frustrating lol.

you have which carrier?
I have tmobile but it's not a problem to download the app from the playstore (market-helper is working). I think the problem is a messed up install of a shared library. According to adb logs from when I try to install:
Package com.isis.mclient.tmobile.activity requires unavailable shared library org.simalliance.openmobileapi; failing!
I'm not sure that I installed this library jar correctly: \system\framework\org.simalliance.openmobileapi.jar
It might also have something to do with nfcee_access.xml giving permissions to apps to use the nfc etc.
I think I have resolved the issue. I was missing a file called org.simalliance.openmobileapi.xml in /system/etc/permissions. Thanks for your help everyone. I will try to update the main thread I was following for instructions to see if anyone else could use this info.

I've ran into this problem while installing the CIBC mobile payment app which utilizes the secure element in an nfc enabled sim card. Are you able to share in more detail how you solved this issue?
