multiple app listings and red box - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I have multiple listings for the same applications, not all, just some. They even have a red looking toolbox by them. Can anyone explain how to remove them? I believe they may be related to disabling packages.

What exactly do you wish to change? Draw on the image please. It may be possible by editing the apk

Could it be to do with your version of Sense or something? Perhaps that's a version newer/older than yours (logically newer) and this isn't included in your version?

That should be easy enough, your arrows point to the little vertical bars on the far left, which most likely is a PNG image inside the apk, can you upload apk and i'll take a look see?

If I'm not mistaken it's supposed to be a UI feature of Sense, but for some reason nobody's been able to find it. Maybe it was part of the UI in a beta version but they simply forgot to add it in in the full version?

Is it a system apk? Or a third party one from the market? I didnt realise he was on sense. i thought it was like an email app he downloaded.

System apk (the stock Sense email app) and judging by the OP date and the bottom tabs it's for Froyo (not sure which one though)

Apparently is not persistent. On the next calendar update, the colors also get reset (as far as I have seen so far).

An app that resizes and crops photos?

Hey,
I'm looking for an app that can re-size and crop photos. It's a pretty basic requirement, but I've yet to find an app that can do both.
Am I missing something that this staring me in the face, or does such an app really not exist?

You could use Samsung photo editor
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17146726#post17146726
Or you can search the market with "resize image" - gives lots of results.
This doesn't show up in market. I assume I need to get the app through an alternate source?
Or does it only work with the galaxy?
Forgot to tell you that Samsung photo editor requires root in order to install. I've updated my post with a link.

My favorite photo editor is PicSay. There is a free version. I got lucky the pro version was free on amazon app market a while ago.

Thanks for the link. It looks like it may be what I need, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to run reliably on my device. It is rooted, but it force closes after a few seconds.

Yes, I've tried a number of searches with many results. Unfortunately, very few of those results are actually useful. It seems the tablet is still a little behind when it comes to image software. Most of the results are toys and gimics.
Ideally, I was hoping for a simple crop/resize tool, and was very surprised to find so few applications that performed these two basic functions. I thought I might be missing something.
Guess I'll be waiting a bit.

I tried the free version. It didn't re-size or crop, from what I could tell. It seemed to just allow adding balloons and icons and stuff.
Are actual photo editing features included in the pro version?
Re size and crop is part of the pro. Sorry about that.

It seems only two of the lib files actually copied. After I recopied all of the lib files, the app started working.
Thanks again.

I have pic say.and image shrink.
currently im using QuickPic as my default pic browser..
i cant paste the link here as my post count is not enough yet.. so try to search it in market..
much much much better than stock pic browser..
you can easily arrange the filing and folder as you can copy, cut n paste pictures within the apps itself..
it also provides cropping for pictures if that is what you want..
try it.. to me its the best pic browser.. (and pic cropping tools)
Yeah, QuickPic is really nice - supports crop but not resize as requested from the op.

Trouble installing 3rd party apps.

I'm trying to install some of the Humble Indie Bundle 6 games on my N4 and I'm running into a problem I've never faced before. The APK files download just fine, but when it comes to actually opening them to start the installation, it won't install. The button that says "install" does nothing when I press it. I checked in my security settings and "unknown sources" are allowed. I included screenshots of both these in the attached files. I even tried un-selecting the "verify apps" option, in case the humble bundle app had been removed from their white list for some reason, it still won't install.
I thought it might be a bug with the Humble Bundle beta app so I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, but it too is getting stuck on the installation. It downloads just fine but it won't install. I've tried rebooting my phone, still no luck. I'm on the latest Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Has anyone else been getting this problem, or does anyone have any idea on how I could fix it? I didn't pay much for the games but it sort of sucks to have bought them and be unable to play any of them like this.
I'd like to try with some more third party apps to see if it's all of them, or if it's just the Humble Bundle APKs that are causing me trouble (if it's the later I can probably contact Humble Bundle and ask them for assistance), but I'm not familiar with those. Could someone please recommend some good safe ones I can test out?
My humble bundle beta installed fine. So at least you know the app should work. Sorry can't help you more. Hopefully someone else has a solution. Silly question... have you tried rebooting?

are you running paranoid android? disable halo, or so ive read.
Any app that requires permission to draw over other apps can potentially cause what you're experiencing. Examples include but are not limited to:
- the HALO feature in PA ROMs
- Screen filter apps
- Other floating apps

Could any of that happen if I haven't rooted?
Also,
I've just tried to reinstall TubeMate, another third party app I like. It's APK also refuses to install, which probably means there's a problem with my phone and not just the Humble Bundle app. I'm starting to think I'll have to factory reset the phone, which is certainly do-able, just... not very fun.

how much storage space do you have left in your phone?

Yes, this can happen without root access. I've seen your problem addressed several times in multiple forums and ALL of them is because of a floating app.
Look through your app list. Is there ANY app that, as a feature, floats on top of other apps?
Eg, Facebook Messenger, Screen Filter, Floating Stickies, AirCalc, etc
Just force stop them and you should be able to sideload apk's again.

The phone says 1.68 GB are free, but when I plug it into my desktop it tells me 1.57 GBs. So... somewhere between those two.
EDIT:
Found it... It was the Twilight app (no, not THAT Twilight... lol), it's an app that tints the whole screen a slight redish color so it doesn't hurt my eyes too much when I use the phone in the evening. That must count as a "floating". The moment I disabled that I was able to successfully install the APK. YOU SIR, ohyearar, have won a thanks.

i was wondering if anybody accomplished this with the ATT variant i installed iq remover but its still there. on d80020c.
You need to be rooted and then use System Tuner app (available in Google Play) to turn them off.

Sorry I just saw your post. The second post in my first link explains it:
Install System Tuner, free from market (lots of annoying ads, no big deal).
Click the red System Android, click Android System, Details, then uncheck all 7 CarrierIQ related processes.

Adaway setup to block ads but allow google and slickdeal links

Hi all,
i am using adaway on my rooted lepro3 but i use slickdeals app and all the links are blocked and i presume that is due to away, plus google links. Is there anyway to set this up to whitelist such a thing?
