Hello to all,
I found this annoying problem for a few weeks when I open the .apk files directly from notifications instead of starting the installation of the app, the same file is opened by the "File Manager" as a .zip preventing me from installing the app but permettondomi in vain to check the contents. Initially this did not happen, but he walked directly installation. I checked if the manager appeared as the default app but it is not nothing. Does anyone have advice on how can I bring everything to the initial situation? It could be a default of the last update (VNS-L31C55B150)?
Hello.
I think that if you long click the APK in the Notification Bar it will take you to the exact place in Settings where you can change the default opening Program.
If that fails, try to Reset your app-preferences. Have you changed/flashed/installed anything prior to the problem ?
I do not remember but maybe Precise And coincided with the upgrade of system
I have just had the same issue as you, yet when downloading the apk from a different source worked for me. I don't really know why it gets detected as just a .zip archive rather than a apk. Have you tried other sources or renaming/repacking the apk ?
Solve looking for the apk file you downloaded, and opening it with the file manager, but I do so in more steps

I installed a Walkman port that turned out to be nonfunctional, and since I was stupid and didn't make a backup before, I had to remove it manually, but I must have deleted something that was related to the Music app, because now it crashes when I try to open it. Can someone be nice enough to extract some files from the stock kitkat rom the following folders so I can check out which files I'm missing?
The stuff that I must have accidentally deleted was in one of the following folders:
system/etc/permissions
system/etc/surround_sound
sustem/framerwork (something with "sony" in the filename)
system/lib
system/soundfx
Alternatively I'd like to know if there is any way to extract these folders from the odin flashable firmware file I downloaded so I can restore these folders without having to reflash everything. There is a system.ext4 in the tar file but I can't seem to find a way to open it.
And finally, is there some way to troubleshoot what's making the app crash? It's probably missing a file, is there some way to tell which one?
Reflashing the firmware is a last resort because I already customized a lot on this phone and I don't feel like doing all of that again.
Update: I half-fixed it by deleting Dalvik Cache a few times. Now the app works but I don't see the notification with music controls anymore. Instead there's a notification that says "Music is running. Tap for more info or to stop the app", and if I tap it it brings me to the app info screen where I can force stop, clear data, etc. Also I click "play" and the music doesn't play anymore, it stays stuck at 00:00.
What's up with that?
SOLUTION HERE
So I decided it would be a good idea to attempt to solve the 'sim card removed' notification problem I've been having by disabling notifications for systemui (since that's where 'app data' took me when I went to see what app was giving me the error. Since it would let me do that, I decided to try converting it to a user app, disabling notifications, and then converting it back to a system app using Rom Toolbox.
After converting to a user app failed (it did not convert) I now have a new problem. After being rebooted, systemui not only failed to launch, it;s not listed as being installed at all!
Can anyone provide a backup .apk of systemui so I can attempt to reinstall it and fix my screwup?
edit-update:: in rom tolbox, I managed to find a task with the same name viewing app info, I noticed it says 'excluded: YES', with yes in red and OOM Group is Foreground App. CPU time = 0s, which I assume means it's not running.
How to proceed?
more info: /sytem/app has no .apk or .odex for systemui
Yet more info: I tried Restart SystemUI from the Play store with no success. The option to go to SystemUI settings fails. It seems I somehow deleted/lost the systemui app? That should mean I can reinstall it if someone copies theirs, yes?
*bump*
Please, guys? This device is pretty much unusable right now and I literally need one .apk file to fix it. I swear I'll buy you a beer if we ever meet.

Hope it solves your problem.
But did you consider reseting the phone? Or use odin and install proper firmaware again?
Although it says .apk, it downloads as a zip file? The zip doesn't contain an .apk and attempting to install the zip through recovery fails with
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed.
Factory reset didn't fix it and stock image for the g530az apparently does not exist anywhere on the internet for some reason. Sideload fails also.
Please advise.
on my pc, download is working well. I uploaded the apk.
Use on cwm or twrp guys . include the systemui
pls someone can upload SYSTEMui_ess.odex i need it to repair my phone .the file is in the folder system/priv_app/
I did a search, but it yielded no results, so I'll ask it here... I use file Explorer and every now and again it will tell me in the status bar that I'm using this much space on the internal memory and ask to delete recently downloaded files or something to that effect. I tell it no and go on with my day. Today I realised that 7gb have mysteriously gone missing from my download folder inside file Explorer. I have no idea what happened to them. I'm currently running PureNexus with elimentalX kernel. Has anybody else experienced this? I'm wondering if this could be rom, file Explorer, or download manager related. Thanks in advance...
I am having the exact same damn problem as you. and I cannot copy it out of my phone, because it cannot be found in my phone. lol wtf
PS I am on Android N, and this has happened to me multiple times in the past.
Same thing with me. Stock ROM, rooted.
It's weird, the files can be found on the phone but not while trying to transfer files to PC.
There was a known bug since Android I-don't-know where whenever there is a new folder/file created, commonly in the Downloads folder, Java wasn't reloading that folder so it was stuck to the last time the folder was reloaded, long story-short, it stays as it is until you reload the code.
Try clearing Media Storage cache and then reboot. That got mine fixed.
Hello Guys,
i have an issue with my Nexus 7 Tilapia. I`ve downloaded a Marshmallow Rom and everythings seems to be good.
But If i want to download something in Chrome, it says that the file cant be downloaded because of an missing sd-card. First I thought that it was an issue by Chrome but if i tried to download the same file with the dolphin browser, it seems to work but trying to open the file it gives the message that the file cant be opened.
So i think its an issue with the memory access, because the fx file explorer says, if i try to open the download folder, that the access was denied.
I hope that someone has an idea to solve my problem, because i need it quickly for university
Thanks a lot.
cacerts.bks updated 12-6-20
When the original search was on to repair the aging cacerts.bks file in order to get the Kindle app working again, one of the things I came across was a remark from a fellow who had located a Honeycomb ROM (Android 3.2...last stop before the format of the security certificate storage was changed) and copied the cacerts.bks file from it to his Android 2.2 device which was having problems with websites, etc.
I still can't get the method described by @tshoulihane in this thread to work for me. But his edited cacerts.bks file works really well in solving the problem.
Yesterday I managed to locate a CM 7 ROM (Honeycomb). It contains a largish cacerts.bks file (compared to ours) with 127 certificates, 17 of which have expired. These seem to be mostly for central/eastern European and Asian entities, so perhaps not that critical. Well, it's only 10 years old
It has worked for me with the Kindle app and perhaps will help with some of the websites that complain about a secure connection even though I have enabled TLS 1.2 in Opera Mobile. More testing is needed there.
For anyone who wants to try it out, it is attached below. To use, rename your current cacerts.bks file (that's in /system/etc/security) to cacerts.bks.bak or similar. Then move the new file (unzip) into the same place. Check permissions. They should be rw-r-r. Reboot.
This looks great... though when I tried to rename and copy the new cacerts file, I am getting blocked due to the lack of root permissions.
I'm running the 1.2.1 tweaked/modded rom so I thought it wouldn't be an issue. I also tracked down the supersu3.1.3 apk and sideloaded it, but it didn't help either. Wondering if you had any ideas?

So was your SU app missing? Or did your file manager just not have root access?
Hard to know where to start. From my experience, the best-behaving SU for the NST/G is the one that comes with NookManager (attached below). It's old and the binaries are probably out of date, but you don't need anything better for the device.
You can try removing the one you have now, reboot, and install the one below. Then check that your file manager has root acccess. In ES File Explorer, for example, you have to go into settings and tick the selection for root access. It's not automatic. And even with that, you have to tick an additional box to mount /system as rw while you're working in it.
At one time the superuser app was included -- but is no longer linked, and I had overlooked it after initially flashing the rom.
Unfortunately, the su app you provided also doesn't work. When I try to delete the old cacerts.blk it looks like it's doing something, but then the file still remains. If I instead try to rename the file, I get "operation failed".
I tried to delete or rename using an app called "root browser", and also the file manager in "super manager" suite. When I try to enable the root explorer function in ES file manager , I get "sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your device."
When I go under Device info, the ROM name does indeed say "Tweaked Modded ROM". I assume this should mean it's rooted but I'll have to dig deeper.
I appreciate your help though!

Mmm.... so the ROM came "rooted"? I've attached a root check app which I've tried on my NST. This should answer the question of root.
If root has been lost somehow, it might be possible to salvage what you have by running NookManager. If you don't want the various additions like Relaunch, you can remove those apps from the data/app folder once you've written the card and then make the other needed changes as described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/development/nst-g-updating-nookmanager-t3873048
Or, you could just use NM as-is and uninstall unwanted material afterwards. The important thing is root and a functioning SU.
Okay... turns out my device was NOT rooted after all; I had assumed the binaries were already installed. Fortunately, I was able to find a superSU 0.93 binary and root through CWM. I replaced cacerts.blk with yours, and now the kindle app works! At first I had difficulty logging in, but turns out Amazon was emailing me a one time password after every attempt. After entering the OTP I am now up and running.
My next issue is getting Pocket working -- I installed Read it Later 1.0.1 but it's not syncing.
Thanks for the link to your other post. I will sideload the apk's you recommended.

Might not be possible. Chatter here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604661&page=2 goes back to 2013.
I found reference to a functioning version in 9/2016. Had hoped it was a cacerts issue but maybe pocket changed their api.

Would this be what's causing my Nook to not load certain https sites?
I can get to gmail fine, but I can't for the life of me load the todoist website
Tried loading your cacerts.bks, doesn't seem like it changed anything
I had no problem getting the Todoist home page. Logging in may be another matter.
Are you using Opera Mobile and did you make the settings change for TLS 1.2?
