Pioneer AVICSync app not working on V20?

I have a Pioneer in-dash navigation unit installed in my truck, which uses the AVICSync app from the play store to get traffic and POI from the web.
I have used this app on other phones (Note 7 and OP3) with no problems. When it comes to the V20, I get an error every time I install it, which also breaks the functionality of it. I was wondering if I am alone with this problem, and if it a Nougat compatibility issue.
I was hoping someone else could try to install and run app on their V20 and see if they have the same error come up when installing....
Screenshot of error: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0aDw-iJ5oGhM2ZFY0NLVUtLR2s
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: So there IS a problem with all Nougat phones, friend verified same error on a Pixel XL. Pioneer was notified if anyone gives af.

I had it installing on my new Pixel.
There is a jp.pioneer.mbg.avicsync folder in /sdcard/Android/data where app data should be installed. The issue I had is that while installing the main data, the app is supposed to download many zip files and place them on a files/ux folder. Download fails and I had no ux folder on my new Pixel. I retrieved the missing files from my old phone, cleared cache and re-launched.
App seems normally installed now, I will check with my AVIC-F77DAB later.

Arnaud

Could you share / upload those files somewhere? I returned my old phone and did not make a backup of those files

Arnold - Thanks for the info. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 which I recently reset and unable to get Avicsync to install again. It was working on nougat prior to the wipe. Luckily I still have my previous phone and was able to snag the UX folder off it. Once copied across and an avicsync cache wipe the program worked as it should. Can't believe Pioneer can't be bothered to support nougat with their app. Came across this thread googling for a solution.

Trying to install an older version of package didabler pro

So I'm trying to install pdp. App version 6.3 on nouget beta because I still want to be able to disable software updates. Now when I uploaded the update to my s7 edge (data intact) pdp 6.3 worked perfect ( app was installed before update). On my other s7 edge I installed the app after I had nouget on and I get the "activation notice" pictured below. This is after I install the .apk from my sd card. Anyone now how to work around this? Phone isn't rooted and the old apk does work on nouget but just has to be installed before the update to nouget. I just want to prepare incase I have to do a factory reset.

Just use the disabler standalone pc app in the main S7 Edge thread. Far easier and cannot accidentally be undone. I'll get you the link if you can't find it.

Be very careful not to disable/freeze to much stuff this way (just ota update packages if I were you) otherwise you could soft-brick your phone. Use EZ package disabler for everything else and don't forget to wipe the application's cache/data. EZ has option to clear all disabled packages and a lot of other features btw!

App not installed. Package Conflicts

Hello!!
My phone is an S7 Edge with Android 7.0. I am trying to manually install updates from apps included in the stock, like the calendar, messages ... etc. However I can not do it because it gives me this error: " App not installed. The package conflicts cith an existing package by te same name".
Please, can someone help me with this?

Uninstall the app and install the newest. If you have still the problem try install over ADB. Then you can see package name with conflict and uninstall it.

Hi,
You're trying to install two apps with the same package name, in Android data system the apps you install have its data saved in a folder with the format /data/*package name*/, therefore if two apps use the exact same package name and have different signatures (that is, one is not the update of another) you won't be able to install it.
As suggested, try to uninstall the stock apps and then install again manually. However I do not think you'll be able to do it, due to the nature of stock apps being installed in system partition. So for manually installing an stock app you'll first need to uninstall it, and that usually requires superuser privileges.
All the best,
~Lord

That is the answer I have searched for days. You know APKMIRROR right? I am on unrooted SM-G935F (s7 edge) and I was not able to install any system apps before. But in apkmirror, some people uploaded newer versions of system apps and there was one visible difference: older versions which I cannot install was with android head icon, but newer version had it's own app icon next to the name, and that installed for me. For example s8 launcher (touchwiz home). I always got package error when tried to download versions with android head, and when someone uploaded version with its own icon, it installed. Can you explain this?
And now im waiting for new versions of s8 weather widget because there is no version available with the app icons....

All you need to to to install Touchwiz 9.0 is to encript device, and afterward install will go smoothly (All other experience 9.0 apps can be installed too).(Samsung S6, Android 7.0, December security patch).

Smart Select Edge from S8?

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.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

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.

How to install/update apps without conflicts

Hi,
After receiving an OTA update I my phone got updated to May security patch.
As we all know, after this we are unable to download apk's in order to update the apps due to package conflicts etc etc.
I think I found a easy workaround that ad been working, at least for me, always I needed. Just finished updating 7 apps.
They procedure is ad follows:
1. Download the app (I always use apkmirror)
2. Go to Samsung File Manager/My Files and create a shortcut of the app to your Home screen
3. Go to settings > lockscreen & security
4. Disable all lockscreen securities
5. Reboot phone
6. Install all apps by clicking on the shortcuts you created.
After this you can enable lockscreen securities again.
That's it, easy as that!
Please share your experiences to see if also work for you.

Same here

Yea I already tried this a while back, seems to work for some, not others
That said, there are some apps that will still install on mine with the April patch that also caused problems, the latest TouchWiz Home installs fine, and so does the latest Gallery
I think the problem is with the apps not the security patch, as previous versions would not install, latest versions will
Maybe some apps are not compatible with the update you are running until they are also updated

I tried to update several apps but I wasn't able. Seems like this method is not working for me anymore....
