Well i don't know much about android SDK or java programming . I wanted to know whether there is a way to rename the package name of an app to install it along with the pre-installed app so that you don't have to root your phone to remove the stock apps and install the new app alongside. One example is the brut maps. It has two versions. One which needs the stock google maps to replaced while the other one just installs. One case where you may need it is (only required till the time you are not rooted) when the ddjp2 had swype but was not working. In that case we would have installed the renamed swype alongside and then we could have got swype to work without rooting (tho now we have a working update JP4, but still there are cases when you need a renamed apk). So any idea ?
Recently I rooted my Glacier.Still on rooted froyo.I have few quations.

Nandroid backup is done inside of clockwork recovery which you can use rom manager to boot into.
Custom roms will usually come with busybox, but if you want to update your version you can download busybox installer from market
Not sure what you are doing with google maps, but if you uninstall maps it shouldnt give you a problem reinstalling another google maps apk manually or from market.
If it says read only on system folder then you have not changed to write access. What file browser are you using?
You can absolutely unstall any of the tmobile bloatware including tmobile tv. If you want a precooked rom that has all of this stuff removed and is stock in every other way then check the link in my sig for my mysense rom. It may be exactly what you are looking for.
Could someone kindly remind me how to install a samsung apk from apk mirror after the April Security patch, so as to avoid the existing package error?
If I recall correctly, a member said that you need to toggle a switch in developer options.
Any help will be appreciated. I am trying to install the latest s8 weather app and widget.

You can install Touchwiz Home,Weather and AOD without any issues on DQD7.
They work normal.
Seems that Gallery and Clock cause issues after being installed.
Gallery force closes when opening/editing pictures,Clock timer seems to stop...

I also tried to install the APKs using adb and command prompt, but unfortunately I get failure...
So there is no way at all to sideload an apk after the April Security patch to a non-rooted s7 edge ??????
Me, i reverted back to February Sec firmware
I just got a new software update today was around 170mbs
Csc BTU
I couldnt install apks because of the package conflict issue. But since i updated today i tried installing and everything installed again just fine.
Good news to me no more updates yet
I have Indian S7 edge with April security patch, unrooted android 7.0. I successfully installed weather apk and weather forecast apk, latest version released on 07 may on APK mirror. but when i checked the weather widget it is showing still old design. I cleared data cash no luck.

I have the DQD7 latest update as well. But I cannot install the weather apps of S8...
Even tried by using apk editor. I changed the package name and re-compiled it. I managed to install it as a separate app, but it was not working...
The April Security update is blocking a lot of the Samsung built-in apps from being updated. It usually errors with "The Package conflicts with an existing package by the same name" Does not make a difference if you rollback the last one that worked it will still cause the same error almost each and every time.
It seems that the only apks you can install after the April's security update are the ones that have their own icon (and not just the android head).
The ones with the android head as an icon are probably considered system apps and you cannot install them (like the s8 samsung weather apks), however the ones with their own icon (like the latest s8 samsung home app), can be installed without any problem.
So I suppose we will have to wait from an updated weather app apk...

Clean install...? Meaning backup everything and reseting the phone...?
Or using odin to reinstall DQD7 but using home_csc to keep all your apps and settings intact...?

When I tried installing any S8 APKs I would get the package with the same name error, so here's what I did to be able to install all the S8 APKs I wanted.
1: I put all the APKs I wanted to install on my SD card
2: I used Samsung Cloud to backup my phone (apps, data etc...) but I backed up my Whatsapp chat using Whatsapp chat backup
3: I turned off my phone and booted into recovery and did a factory reset
4: When phone booted back up, I went through all the prompts without adding any accounts(Google, Samsung, etc), I didn't even connect WiFi
5: I opened My Files and opened the folder on my SD card with the S8 APKs
6: I first installed the S8 Launcher, then went into settings/apps/Touch Wiz Home and cleared data
7: Returned back to my S8 APK folder and installed the rest, then rebooted my phone
8: Added my Google & Samsung account and restored from my Samsung Cloud backup, my phone returned the exactly the way it was before I reset it, all missing apps were reinstalled, homescreen were set back up the way they were and all S8 APKs installed are working fine.

I agree... I don't want to factory reset my phone just to get the weather widgets...
I will wait to see if/when new apks of them will be uploaded on apk mirror or wait until a more experienced member finds a way to do it.
The closest I got was that by altering the package names of the apks using apk editor pro, I managed to install the s8 weather widgets as separate apps. So when I was searching through my widgets I could see both the s7 weather widgets and the s8 weather widgets. But unfortunately, when adding the s8 widgets on my home screen, they just stayed there saying "loading" and never loaded any city or time/date etc...

I have package disabler pro. Could you please explain step by step how to do it?
Should I just disable ALL the pink lined (bloatware) apps? Should I also clean the cache of the apps? Should I restart...?
Any help will be appreciated.
Also keen on finding this out , I am running DQCJ and have the same issue too with installing the s8 launcher

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?
