I have 2 Galaxy S4 phones, one is the Active and one is standard S4. I use the Active on another line and switch sims when I want to use it on my main line, usually when I go boating or outdoors.
The standard S4 is rooted and has Cleanrom on it. The S4 Active is stock with the stock apps but is also rooted with the stock Rom. There are 2 Apps that I want to add to my standard S4 and I have tried to move them over but they seem to fail to install.
The 2 apps im trying to move are Optical Read and S Memo which are Samsung only apps meaning they come stock on the phone and you cannot download them from the play store. I used an app called APK Share and backup which seemed to do a good job of backing up both apps. I then transferred them over from one phone to the next and tried to install them. Both apps seem to be a complete APK file and when I go to install them they go all the way through the installation process and right at the end all it says is "App not installed"
I also tried using Titanium backup which failed as well. It gets all the way to installing the app on the phone and then freezes and does nothing. I thought for sure Titanium backup would work but no go.
S memo is the one I really want to have installed since I use a Note 8.0 to take all my business notes on which I would like to view on my Rooted Galaxy S4.
Anyone have any idea why these apps wont install or any other ideas I might try to move these apps over. It seems like it should be a pretty simple process since they are both Galaxy S4s but I guess not.
Did you try and fix permissions on the s4 in your recovery after you copied the apps. I'm assuming you took the apk from the active and copied into /system/app on the s4.

That I did not do. I will have to learn how to do that. I will try and search for it on google. Thanks for the suggestion.
Am using Gmail v4.6 on Android 4.2.2 (rooted). Looking for an older version of the Gmail app that did not have "conversation view" or had the option to disable it. I found v4.0.5 and downloaded it but can't figure out if it has the option to disable conversation view. I think I'll install it later and give it a try.
But if anyone has an older APK I would appreciate it. Thanks.
After freezing the current version of Gmail using Titanium, I installed the 4.0.5 APK using ES Explorer but it says "x Application not installed". Did not work. Not sure why.
Realized I need to uninstall the previous version before installing the new version. I guess "freezing" doesn't cut it. Anyway tried 4.0.5 and also 2.2 and both still have "conversation view" that can't be disabled. Guess I'm going back to K9 for e-mail. Hate conversation view.
I have a t330nu with android 5.1.1 installed, and rooted. When I install ANY custom rom I get the stupid "security Notification" pop up over and over... now I know I USED to be able to use Package Disabled Pro to take care of this problem but unfortunately it doesn't work with rooted & custom roms. when I try to load the program after installing the new rom, it won't activate thus leaving me with no package disabler. Is there any work around for this yet, or some other way to remove/disable the "security log agent" package? All help appreciatedl
Install "link2SD" and freeze "SecurityLogAgent".
if you rooted, then go to system\app and delete the folder called SecurityLogAgent, and then reboot....
Hello guys
I just discovered a small trick on how to delete bloatware which came with the phone. Or I hope I discovered it. I have a G935F from a german carrier called o2. It has no root-rights and is stock. It came with various apps such as "hrs hotels", some o2 apps, an app to install a game called "Empire: Four Kingdoms" and so on...
I believe it was only possible to deactivate and not to deinstall these apps when I tried to deinstall them.
Fortunately I was able to deinstall with "My Files" from Samsung which is already installed on your phone. At the very bottom is written "Storage Usage". There you will find the window "User data". Click on "Detail" and now on "Apps". There you go....
Maybe you guys can check if I am right and you can deinstall this way apps you wasn't able to deinstall before. Unfortunately I already deinstalled all my bloatware and now I don't know if they really are only possible to deinstall this way.
Sometimes carrier bloat is installed in the data partition where they can be uninstalled. I think you'll find that Samsung apps and services cannot be uninstalled this way. That's because they reside in the system partition.

AT&T US version does not have access to details under Storage Usage. Thanks for the tip.
The US T-Mobile version does have it, but unfortunately it only shows the apps that I have installed, not any of the carrier bloatware.
hi guys i wonder if anyone has or know a way to install the smart select edge panel from S8 to the S7 edge?
I've read somewhere on xda that you'll also need to download the new AOD along with smart select apk, but personally I didn't have that issue nor do I understand why one would need the other to work...
But I downloaded the apk from apkmirrior, installed, then swiped open the edge panel tab, click the tiny settings gear once panel is open so you can enable/disable /download other edge tabs, and enabled smart select for one of your edge tabs. Viola
Sorry i tried to upload screenshots but xda network error...

I'm actually starting to run into the same issue with package conflict on certain apps trying to install from unknown sources.. I know that the options others have tried don't work.. As far as smart select goes, have you tried downloading the apk from XDA? Some are having success that way..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...galaxy-s7-edge-sm-g935f-t3584881/post71741190
Also there are many people having success with installing apks that run into package conflict, and it has to do with putting a shortcut of the apk on homescreen, turning off all security sign in features for lock screen so you can access your apk shortcut as fast as possible.. Then reboot your phone and as soon as you can, try to install the shortcut.. Also make sure to enable installation from unknown sources before reboot.
I haven't been able to get that to work for my conflicts, but lots of people have..
EDIT: I recently did an update from Verizon for the April security patch and whatever the bloatware they added and that's when I started running into conflicting packages

Without doing a factory reset, I honestly have no clue. There are so many mixed reports that say worked for their package conflicts, but the only way that continually is working is doing a backup and factory reset, then download and install the previous package conflicticted apks before going back through and backing up old apps/data.
I know it's a pain to do all that, and that's why I haven't gone through with doing a factory reset yet but I'm getting to that point if someone doesn't find out a solution soon..
I just tried to get smart select working .
So I installed the smart select apk, it installed successfully without any errors and it did show up as one of the default panel just like it should.
But when trying to use any of the smart select features on the panel my phone freezes for about 20 seconds.
The only option in smart select that works for me is "pin to top".
I am using a S7 edge rom, not a ported s8 rom.
Any suggestions?

Have you downloaded the latest optical Reader app from Samsung? I just came across this article that states you need the optical reader to make it work properly?
https://www.sammobile.com/2017/05/0...s-and-gifs-using-the-smart-select-edge-panel/
I tried all methods. None of them works
I'm our of options myself, I'm also in a position where I'm getting package conflicts but thankfully have been able to get some before I did my last update from Verizon, which is when I started getting package conflicts.. I wish you luck though and hopefully we can come up with something
Just wanted to quickly say that the apk from this link (found above):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...e-sm-g935f-t3584881/post71741190#post71741190
works.
Using a non-rooted tmo S7E
Rectangle and Circle screenshot can be fixed by installing S8's AOD
I get conflicts with that apk too. But i appreciate your sharing.

I received the same conflict. But I tried the following: create a new folder in root system/app , rename the new folder 'SmartClipEdgeService'. Then download the apk from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/smart-select-2/smart-select-2-1-0-42-release/smart-select-1-0-42-android-apk-download/ , rename it 'SmartClipEdgeService.apk' and put it in the folder. Restart the device and you should be able to select it in the edge panel.
Unfortunately, I can't use the rectangle or oval either, the app just crashes when I try. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be much appreciated!
I'm on G935F btw.

Update: Could get the rectangle and oval to work by downloading S8's AOD apk and replacing it in the root system/priv-app/AODService_v20 folder (also renaming the apk as 'AODService_v20.apk') BUT I lose AOD and I keep getting an error message saying AOD keeps stopping when I restart the phone as well as when I try to use the smart select features. The smart select hangs for abit but will work eventually.
Working on my end without freezing.

I have figured out a way to get the Smart Select Edge fully functional on the S7 Edge after some trial and error. You will need root. (I don't know if all the steps are necessary but that's just what I did.)
1. Create a new folder in root system/app , rename the new folder 'SmartClipEdgeService'. Then download the apk here , rename it 'SmartClipEdgeService.apk' and put it in the folder.
2. Download S8's AOD apk here and replace it in the root system/priv-app/AODService_v20 folder (also renaming the apk 'AODService_v20.apk'). Backup the original apk just in case,
3. Set the AOD apk permission to 0755 (rwx-rx-rx), folder permission should be the same.
4. Clear AOD cache and data (if you can't find it in applications, use titanium backup to 'open system details' and clear data, also use it to 'clear cache'.
5. Restart and it should work! You will have both AOD and the smart select edge fully working, just go to settings on the edge panel and select 'smart select' as one of your panels.
When the new AOD is installed it will have a 'learn how to use aod' notification on the AOD screen that you might not be able to get rid off. Just tap next very close to the bottom of you screen if it doesn't register.
