Samsung camera doesn't want to install - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
I tried to update the Samsung camera app by deleting the old camera and installing the newest apk from apkmirror.com.
Unfortunately the installation always quits with "the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name". I don't know what to do since the old cam os gone and I can't install a new one... Does anybody know what to do?
I am running renovate ice 7.5 (android 7.0) on my g950f and I am rooted. Any help is greatly appreciated!

How did you install? Most likely you'll need to remove the camera app entry in priv-app folder in system, you'll need a file explorer which can be granted root rights

I deleted the app and then used adb shell and find to find the package name, there was nothing in the priv-app folder. I dirty flashed my rom and now I have the camera back, I would really like to be able to update it though.

[Q] Installing the Honeycomb Dialer

Hello,
I have the new Honeycomb dialer apk and I was under the impression if you just placed the new dialer apk in the systems/app folder of the rooted android device it would change to the new apk on reboot.
Well, I have placed the apk in systems/app, deleted the old apk and rebooted and no change. What is interesting is I have opened the new Honeycomb dialer apk in Super Manager and tried to install and I keep getting the error "Application not installed".
What am I doing wrong?
Just as a note, I have installed the new Honeycomb music player with no problems. My phone is an EU HD2 and I am on a custom Gingerbread ROM.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Are you talking about a literal Honeycomb (Android 3.0) dialer application, or just a themed dialer from a different version? If you have an actual Honeycomb apk please post it or link to it; I was unaware one existed at this point, seeing as the OS is only for tablets so far.
In reference to your question, apps generally need to get installed as opposed to just copied/pasted into system folders. Either try installing it via something that calls the app installer process (browse to the apk in ASTRO File Manager for example) or try manually installing it via adb. If adb fails then it's probable that it simply can't be installed on your device or ROM.
Hope that helps.

[Q] Accidentally removed DownloadProvider.apk

Hi All,
I have a rooted european TPT and I did something really dumb today: I nuked DownloadProvider.apk, thus killing any download functionality.
I downloaded the OTA update roms and had a look in there but they only have patches for the APK and not the file itself. I have been unable to find a full ROM image to use either, one linked from here was on Megaupload so that's gone.
May I beg someone to send me this APK please or point me to where I can find an image of the original ROM? Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi
I have the same problem. Deleted the downloadprovider and I guess also the downloadprovider.UI.
I'm on 2.3.4 root. Build nr: 4.0.2.A.0.42.
What to do with the other file in the zip apart from the .apk and how to set the permissions when moving the .apk to the system/app folder?
thanks

The other file is the odex just copy it in /system/app like the apk. The files need the permission 644. You can set them i.e. with Terminal Emualtor or with adb:
Code:
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 644 /system/app/DownloadProvider.*
Unfortunately I did the same mistake like baz8080 .
Can you please help me with DownloadProvider for A310_02_0039_0089_WE?
I still have the apk and restored it to /system/app but the odex is missing and I'm still not able to download anything
Thanks in advance
Anybody?
I found DownloadProvider.apk + odex from 0076_WE
Is there any way to apply the patches from the update (0086_WE and 0089_WE) manually just on these two files?

You must have root access to your phone
1. copy and paste "Download Provider ui" folder to /system/apps of your root folder.
2. copy and paste "Download Provider" folder to /system/priv-app of your root folder.
3. give permission like other apps in the folder and install both apk inside each folder with your root explorer with root installer package i used "fx file explorer pro".
4. Done restart your mobile.
5. you need to have google play store updated and google play services updated to latest version

Hi guys!
I'm bumping an ancient thread here, hope that's okay with you.
I have this old S4+ lying around. I love it's Gallery app due to the built-in possibility to losslessly trim MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) videos by cutting to nearest keyframe, and also lossless rotation by changing the rotation metadata flag of the MP4 file in question. This simple feature is not implemented in "modern" Gallery apps, or well at least not in the OnePlus 5T I'm using today. So, I was thinking I could extract the .APK from my S4+ (running Android 5.x) and put it in my OP5T (running Android 8.x) without too much headache. Guess if I was wrong.
I get the error about that app was not installed. After browsing around on e.g. ApkMirror, I ultimately found a Samsung Galaxy derived Gallery .APK that I could install, it was a very early version (v1.x.something) which has the cutting feature, but not the rotation (flag changing) feature. So, this ancient Gallery3D .apk installed well, but not the one on my own Galaxy S4+.
So, what could be my issue? Is the .APK flagged to be installed as a system app, and due to my OP5T not being rooted I don't have access too /system/app/, therefor the error? Could it be that simple? If so, is it possible the modify the .APK to install as in /data/app/ instead? Of course I'd resign the APK with some dummy/androiddebug signature afterwards to make installation possible.
Could it be some silly (not really needed) demand listed in the AndroidManifest.xml of the APK in question? If so, is it possible to replace the AndroidManifest.xml with a very "basic" one listing more or less no demands, and re-wrap everything with new signature?
I'm really investigating all my options __except__ for having to root my OnePlus!
I figured that I could get a more specific error message from ADB than by just trying to install the .APK through the phone interface.
So, here goes..
Code:
C:\>adb.exe install F:\Galleri_com.sec.android.gallery3d.apk
adb: failed to install F:\Galleri_com.sec.android.gallery3d.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.sec.android.gallery3d-RAEW5FZ4VBWqTWXx48LPmQ==: Package /data/app/com.sec.android.gallery3d-RAEW5FZ4VBWqTWXx48LPmQ==/base.apk code is missing]
What does this tell me?

The Galaxy S4 and most Samsung devices has a second framework app, twframework-res.apk, that only works with their apps. Here's the fun part: the existing Android framework-res.apk is modified by Samsung so both framework apps are required by a given Samsung app to function. Even better is that you cannot simply port the app and twframework-res.apk to a totally different device and expect it to function. You'd have to port the framework-res.apk as well, and with that apk being a system file, you'd soft brick your device after copying it and rebooting.
The tl;dr here? What you're attempting won't work due to Samsung modifications to Android.

Huawei screen recorder missing, need APK (Huawei Nova 3i)

Hi,
The screen recorder app for my Huawei 3i somehow got uninstalled and I can't find the APK anywhere online or the Play store/App Gallary. I had someone send me their version from a P20 pro, but since they are on 9.1 and I'm on 9.0, it wasn't compatible. Could anyone please upload the 9.0 version for me so I can try to install it? I'd rather not have to do a full wipe of the phone just for this one app.
Thanks!
PS: I wasn't sure where to post this so if it's the wrong place, please let me know where I should post it!
How shall we find and extract the apk file in either Honor 20 Pro or Mate 9?
It seems that we can't get any apk for system apps without rooting device. And what's the exact file name?

The way my friend did it was to get one of those APK extracting app on the play store. There's a few of them but he used the one called APK Extractor. His device wasn't rooted and was able to get an APK from it. Could that be why it didn't work when I tried to install it? I assumed it was the different android versions.
I see. You had better have someone who has the exactly same phone model, Huawei Nova 3i, to run the APK Extractor to get that apk file for you.

If their device was not rooted, I doubt it actually extracted the app from system. It may have extracted "something" and you may have tried to install it but whatever they extracted may not have been what you actually needed.
If it did actually extract the app, it may not have installed properly because it was not installed in system, it probably got installed in data partition with your user apps. It might be that it won't work if not installed in system. Or it might be that you needed to boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition(and dalvik cache if you have TWRP) then reboot and try installing the app.
This might be because when you removed it from system, that app still had files left behind in the cache partition, these files were associated to that app as a system app but when you installed the app manually it was installed in data partition but wouldn't work with the cached files that were associated with it when it was a system app. You might need to find a way to get the app installed in system so it can work correctly with the cached files that it was associated to when it was a system app, or you need to wipe cache in recovery then install the app as a user app in data partition and reboot the device to let it rebuild the files in cache so that they are associated to the app as user app.
There may be a way to use adb to obtain a copy of the app from system to share with you and then use adb to install the app in system.

[APK request] latest OnePlus 5 OxygenOS 9.0.9 screenshot app (com.oneplus.screenshot)

Hi XDA family.
Happy Holidays to all of you.
After unexpectedly resurrecting my OP5 from the dead this week, I made it slight mistake afterwards.
When going through the files in my download folder, I found an old com.oneplus.screenshot apk and felt the need to install it.
Unfortunately, that was an older version (the most recent version will show a small thumbnail in the top right, my older shows it in the bottom right corner) and I'd like to revert back to the more recent version.
I have tried apkmirror already but they don't seem to have the latest version.
tl;dr
I have installed an older version of com.oneplus.screenshot and need the latest apk to update.
Your help is much appreciated
sith
I didn't find any com.oneplus.screenshot in system/app and system/priv-app

You are right, in the folders mentioned, I also could not find the apk.
But in /data/app I do see it, please check my attached screenshot.
The base.apk should be all I need.
If you could grab and upload it, I'd wanna give it a try.
Thanks in advance

unpack official rom and get it yourself
hello!..
I used skit app to extract the apk from my phone, I'm on latest ota 9.0.9.. screenshot app version is 1.1.0
I hope it helps u..
The app exists as /system/app/OPLongshot/OPLongshot.apk on OxygenOS 9.0.9.
Simply deleting the newly installed apk's folder from /data/app/ is sufficient in most cases to "restore" the app version when a system app has been "updated" with a non-system "update" such as tapping an apk file while in a file manager.
It should also be stated that this particular application uses a dedicated library folder containing the following two symlinks:
Code:
ln -s /system/lib64/libencryptjni.so /system/app/OPLongshot/lib/arm64/libencryptjni.so
Code:
ln -s /system/lib64/op_encrypt.so /system/app/OPLongshot/lib/arm64/op_encrypt.so
in case a system app installation for this apk needs to be restored.
