Hello, I have on my sd card a folder with apk's. I am not able to install any of the apk stored on sd card.
Any idea why?
tks a lot.
Settings > Security > Unknown sources (turn on).
tks. it is turned on but still not working.
Give more detail, what happens when you click on it? Are you using the file manage in the settings>storage area? If so use a different file manager.
tks mate. Yes using the default file manager and the install button do not react at all.
indeed using another file manager did the trick. strange !!!

Thats just how the stock file manager works, its not meant to allow you to install stuff.

You'll probably do more CABS, so I suggest creating a CAB folder on the root of your SD card... Easier to keep track, then.

It's a winner, I keep a copy of my cabs on my laptop and another on my SD card for easy of use when flashing from ROM to ROM.
do I have to do anything else to the phone? like u would jailbreak an iphone? i unzipped the folder and put it on the storage card but when i select setup nothing happens :/

You don't unzip it. You run the .cab file as it is.
ok i am confused lol when i downloaded it from this forum it is in a zip file and actually doesnt have a.cab file in the zip file

Are you sure it isn't just a .cab? WinRAR opens them like they are zip files.

Can you not add it in the options, by shaking the phone while in the office app?
this doesn't appear to work. I have the HTC HD2. I open the office app and when I shake it nothing happens. Should it?

You must unmount the SD-Card in the Settings - then Download you want in the Market and if the download finished and installed mount the SD-Card again

In this case where's did the app install on the phone memory ?
It won't go to the SD if I unmount it so where's the app going ?
I don't understand where's the app going with this unmount thing, please explain.

A workaround not a complete fix but... When you get that problem again go to your download folder using any explorer application, like ES FILE EXPLORER, order the list by date added and you will find your appin the 1st position. Just install it- from there-. This fix work for the 100% downloaded application case but not installed
i think when you unmount the sd and install the apk it goes to the data.img in android folder, because this is acting as internal memory on android build... correct me if im wrong... but it works for me all the time and the aps are on sd...

Do you know where is the download folder ?

Thanks for the tip bro
I'm running EB01 2.6 sc. Have been trying to add shut down animation but my phone won't let me modify system folder. I've flashed back to stock and used a different method for root access and tried several different file managers. Whenever I try to make a change, it tells me the folder was created successfully or the move was successful but no changes actually happen. Does anyone have any ideas?
From my Super Frankencleaned Fascinate via XDA App
bump from 2nd page..
Hmm, There is a shutdown.apk in system/app that has appeared within the last 4 versions of super clean. I bet that has something to do with your shutdown ani's not being recognized or appearing.
good day.
Ran into the same problem. I had to use Super Manager. Just make sure u go into the settings for super manager and enable root function

Thanks I'll give that a shot and report back. I'm happy to find someone who at least is aware that this issue exists haha. I've been perusing the forums for days and everyone is speechless about it.

It worked!!! Thanks a ton.......such a weird problem...why would only that particular file manager work???
Then again........maybe it's not entirely fixed. I'm now allowed to add system folders. I wasn't before. But I don't see a "move" option anywhere, to move shutdown.ogg (or whatever I'm trying to move) I only see Copy and Cut. When I choose one of those, it says "Prepare to Copy" (or Cut), but never actually does so.
Just rename the original to shutdown.ogg.old or oldshutdown.ogg . I remember that it says preparing to copy and it actually will copy the file/folder so all you have to do is navigate to the right folder and hit the clipboard icon to paste.

I'm not sure that bluetooth is an app. I don't have an app installed for it at least, and there is no bluetooth app in the app store...
really trying to avoid factory wipe since it would take at least two hours to reinstall everything
NO ma man you can find the Bluetooth app in this location /system/app
then replace it
Yes yes yes
Replacing app in /system worked for me..Thanks guys as it was quite frustating....

thanks for the reply
there is apparently no app in the system/app folder for bluetooth, which i'm guessing is the problem
now where the heck do i find the 'replacement'? There is no bluetooth app in the market. sorry for not knowing exactly what to do
The system/app contains the bluetooth app, take a look
And if you are running 4.4.2 I can upload the apps for you

yeah I meant that the bluetooth app is not in there at all. don't know why i accidentally said folder
not sure if i'm running 4.2.2 or what, how do i tell? gs4 that i've been using a custom rom called mint jelly ever since it came out back in June of last year, and have not made any further updates due to them not being necessary
You can tell by going to Settings > More > About Device > then you will find android version

thanks, ive never sideloaded an app before so if you wouldnt mind....
do i download on computer? and then after I extract I take the APK and push it through? I can lookup this process but just wondering if this is the route i'm supposed to be going next
Download "ES File Explorer" then click on option button
Then scroll down and turn on Root Explorer
Then click on root explorer and choose Mount Option and change the /system to rw
Then download the apps & extract them
You can extract them on pc, then copy the apps to SD Card
From SD Card copy them to System/app

really thankful for your help
i did get those exact files into my sys/app folder
restarted the device and bluetooth still wont work...really frustrating. hard to believe the only way to fix this might be to get a completely different custom ROM and resetup my entire device, which will take hours and i'm sure it's just a matter of time before I have some other problem.
Any suggestions welcome
Sorry I forgot the most important thing
Keep pressing on any app in the /System/app
And click properties
And look to the permission of the app
then keep pressing on the Bluetooth app and click properties and click change the permission of the bluetooth app to Permissions like the previous app
Reboot
Hi there,
i am having problems that i cant use the rotate of the s4 (currently with 4.2.2 dbt)
after a hardreset everything was fine. then i uninstalled some samsung apps which i do not want to have on my device with titanium.
since then the rotate is not working again.
does someone know which of this apps is mandatory in order for the rotation to work.
the suggestion to calibrate doesnt work for me either because this section is missing under my device settings (even after a hardreset).

Your autorotation stop working because you removed Samsunghub and if you have a custom Recovery try and do this mate download and flash this file via recovery.

hey thank you for your quick reply.
wouldnt it be enough to recover samsung hub with titanium. i have made a backup of all that stuff in the pictures before deleting them.
if not, how do i have to add this file in CWM?

If you dont have a customer recovery but your phone is rooted . Extract the file to your pc then copy to ur sdcard Then open root explorer >copy/paste the libnustl_shared.so in system>lib and change permission to rw-r-r then reboot. And if you have a cwm then download the file .and copy to ur sdcard and boot into cwm . And flash away

ok.. cwm did not work for me as well.. the file was still missing though installing the zip via CWM.
but anyway.. i finally was able to copy the file manually after having some problems with es file explorer.
after setting the permission and rebooting i was able to use the autorotate function again. .
thank you a lot for helping me out and not letting me start by scratch again. and also not forcing me to install samsung software on my device.
now the only question left... why am i still missing the gyroscope option under the device settings..?!?! :-/
i have never seen this option on my device at all.
