Hello,
I just got a new phone, newly rooted (with Stump), and running freshly updated 4.4.2 on a Verizon G2 (VS980, 27A software version).
Downloaded Root Explorer 3.3.3. The app installed fine.
When I go to run the app, it says:
This version of Root Explorer is designed exclusively for Gingerbread (2.3.X) devices and will not work properly on Android 3.0+. However, it appears that you are running on a newer version of Android. This can happen if you restore Root Explorer from a Gingerbread device to a newer one using a backup app. Please download the latest version from Google Play or Amazon to continue.
Then the app exits immediately.
Odd since this version (3.3.3) IS the newest/current version. Same with my Android software.
I prefer to use RE over other file manager apps.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I recently updated my Iconia a500 to the lastest update(unrooted). Since then the honeycomb market first appears when i open it, however if I try to install an app it stays at waiting to install...if I go to my apps from the app it opens it in the pre honeycomb version which is presumably the phone version. After that the honeycomb version is nowhere to be found untill I reinstall it. What might be the solution to this?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
Has your tablet always been stock and unrooted..
Did you install the new market on the tablet before acer updated your tablet to the new market.if So where did you d/load it from.. There is a market .apk on the internet that has something wrong with it that causes this.. It installs on your tablet. Not replacing the original Market app. This was asked alot back when the new market first came out.
you can go to where the aps are system/apps and see if there is more then one market app. delete them both .
i went into settings then privacy .untick the backup account and automatic restore data this stops google from restoring data files for both market apps .then find a Legit verson of the android market apk..
Do a search on google for this issue to get step by step instructions. I am writing this out of my memory and it could be a bit off.

Thanks for your reply, my tablet has always been stock and unrooted, and for as long as I can remember has had the honeycomb market interface. Under manage applications there are two instances of the android market, the honeycomb one which can be uninstalled (uninstalls itself when I open the older version also) and the older version which doesn't have the option to be removed only remove updates.
im guessing the one that you can remove is a app that you installed..
I suggest you backup your files. to sd card..
Go to
settings
Privacy ..
and at the bottom you will see factory reset.. this will reset the tablet to total stock and remove the apps that did not come factory installed..
this should fix this issue.. for some reason a update did not remove the old market app or you installed it not knowing or forgot you did so...
Thanks for your help was hoping there was some other solution....I'm considering rooting it and installing a custom rom like what i did with my HTC sensation... once again thanks!!!
unfortunatley this need ROOT privilages.
Download "Market 3.4.4.apk" install with any File explorer app.
It's tuff to make the Market find outdated apps sometimes!
Doubtful : maybe there is a way to have a "market 3.4.4" made into a .zip file, rename to "update.zip" and boot into your stock recovery and it will add in ROM.
I accidentally managed to uninstall the android download manager using the Clean Master roots access to remove some pre-installed apps.
Found myself this download manager was actually useful to the Play Store app as it doesn't download apps anymore.
Can anyone post an apk to the said stock download manager. I'm running the latest stock 4.4.2. Build nr. KOT49H.
Just upgraded to Kitkat, and If course Google Maps 7 came baked in. I want version 6.14.4 I have the app on my phone, but it won't allow me to install it. I know it's fine because the same exact file worked just fine on Jellybean. I've setup the phone to allow me to sidesload apps. I've uninstalled updates, quarantined the app, and the phone still refuses to install the version I want. Is there anyway to do it?

Uninstall your maps and try installing this one, it's renamed or something so it won't appear in the playstore and bug you to update.https://www.dropbox.com/s/psud8nrjryq69df/com.nimagl2.apps.gmaps-1.apk
Hi,
I recently rooted my Note 5, and was trying to update the following stock apps: Phone, Messages, Contacts. First, I uninstalled them all using SD Maid Pro, then downloaded the latest version of the apps (for Android 7 and +) from apkmirror. However, except for Phone, I encountered the conflicting package error. Furthermore, even after I rebooted (and tried replacing it from data/app to system/priv-app), Phone app could not be found. Currently, I have neither of the apps and cannot use my phone to call or send an SMS.
I have no intention to flash a stock ROM and lose everything I've built and set up so far.
Any help that regards to installing the latest version of the aforementioned apps is appreciated,
Thank you.
EDIT: Manually installed the apps by creating a folder with the same name as the .apk file in system/priv-app and giving the right permissions to the file (rw-r--r--) for each of the apps.
I was trying to install older version of Game Launcher on my S8 as I noticed new version just add ad banner on the interface which I hate. I used Titanium Backup to manually uninstall Game Launcher and when I try to install older version APK I got this message "package conflicts with an existing package by the same name". Normally this messaage showed up when there is newer version of the app already installed on the device so it seen even after I uninstall latest version of the app. Anyone know is there to get around this issue without having to flash older stock rom?
