[Q] Cant install stock email apk

Hi everybody.
Im customizing my Note 3 N9005 rooted with the latest firmware I7.
I made a mistake using ROM Toolbox Pro and i stopped the service Exchange. That made my email application not function so i lost both services.
I made a backup of both before i touch anything but when i try to reinstall them with the same ROM Toolbox Pro, the program says it cant do it. Also with Roote Explorer into that application (very usefull with lots of options).
I also made a copy of all the APK into my Exsdcard and put the two APK with and without the ODEX files and nothing. In security i disable the setting that will allow to install them but nothing works. I even restart the phone with various settings and nothing changes.
So weird that original stocks APK cant be installed back.
Their name are SecEmail_Japk and SecExchange.apk. I reasure that i have both safely backed up but i cant install them again.
I tried K-9 but im acustom to this email apk. I also read something about flashing them but i dont even know how to do that (and make it worst).
Any help with this??
Thank you

I got the A version (4033a) i guess. Without dual sim
Bull****. Got to complete a task/buy something. Forget about this link.

Hi, U can remove useless apps using root explorer or root app delete.. Or search for any other custom rom built for ur fone.

Without custom roms, usually this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401 . With the different modules available for everything from ad blocking to theming to customizing the lockscreen, this is about as custom as you can go without a rom.

I have an app

Hello ackeella27, I have an Alcatel POP C3 4033X and I had the same problem: preinstalled apps and some ram used by these (for example Viber, that sometimes used to crash even if I didn't open it). So i had decided to root my phone and remove these useless (for me) apps by deleting them from the system (they are in a folder called "/custpack/app/" in the case of 4033X but i don't know if it is the same for other model of POP C3).
But I use to reset my phone sometimes (with the decision to not install again too much apps xD ) so made an app, called "App Removal for Alcatel POP C3"
I think if you have 4033X model you can surely use it, if not but you decide even to try please tell me the result so I know that this app is also for another model of POP C3.
You can find the app atached the post; I've put an ads at the bottom because I'm planning to put it on Play Store
In the app, if you haven't already rooted your phone you can click "Get SU" button, and installation of Framaroot will be started: when it finishes open Framaroot and click Boromir. Restart the phone. You can open App Removal, and may modify the code, and then click "execute" button to remove the unnecessary apps.
I posted some sceenshot to show you how is the app
Description of used permissions:
1) SD Card
2) Network State and Internet
3) Superuser
1)To put Framaroot in the SD Card and start the installation process
2)To display Ads
3)To execute the root commands
I hope it works and is usefull
Have a nice day

Edit: The app is now obsolete: wait about one week and I will make a topic with the new app (better than this). Bye

Q did u als had this annoying message when u disable viber. Viber has stopped. Keeps popping up

Yes, so I reset my phone and delete it from the system. I think this phone's version of viber is bugged because if I install it from Play Store it function normally. If you would remove it feel free to use my app (it not remove only viber but also other programs, in future I update if with a cecklist of Alcatel system apps you can check to be removed, more comfortable)

Aight that woud be cool

[HOW TO] Disable Google Apps [and any other app] without Root in MIUI8

Hi All,
Since in MIUI 8 there is no way to disable the installed apps, here is the trick to disable Google Apps and other insalled apps for the devices without root access.
Things needed:
1. QuickShortcutMaker [Playstore link]
2. Phone with MIUI8 installed.
Stpes:
1. Download and open the QuickShortcutMaker app
2. In the search box type "Installed" and hit search.
3. Select the highlighted ($ManageApplicationsActivity)option and tap "Create".
4. A settings icon will be created on the home screen.
5. Tap the icon and select the app which you want to disable (for eg. Hangouts).
6. Tap Disable (it may ask to uninstall the updates, just uninstall the update and disable the app).
P.S. If you are using Nova Launcher, then you can create the shortcut of the activity by using the widget feature.
Edit: You cannot disable the MIUI apps by this method.
Here is the video Thanks @TheDj408

Nice tut ! Will help a lot of persons

You can directly go into settings and disable it. Then why do you need to make a short cut?

You can't disable just by going to settings app.

Reboot and try again, it should not happen.
Something is wrong with your phone

I don't know about RN3 if but disabling either Google/MIUI apps in latest MIUI Global Stable results in a bootloop. And if you have not unlocked the bootloader it can be a big hassle as recently the EDL mode has also been locked. Learned this the hard way when my Redmi 3s got stuck in a bootloop necessitating a visit to service center. The Deep Flash cable method is only other way.

I somehow disabled the system's dialer from regular setting. Circuitous but I go there. This was where the quickshortcut took me.
Using quckshortcutmaker would be easier, can be quite a powerful app.

Since when the EDL mode has been locked for RN3? AFAIK it was for Mi5 and others but not RN3.

That is what I had mentioned in the beginning itself. And Xiaomi forums are full of contradictory/outdated info in this regard.

Stupid question:
Why can't we just disable them through Google Play help section, as explained on en.miui.com/thread-490604-1-1.html?
This way we don't need to install anything...

Doesn't work. Doesn't even create the shortcut as it's supposed to.

hey man can I share it to forums?

Is there a way to install Xiaomi Apps in a Custom ROM?

Hi. I recently change my phone ROM to a custom one, after one year using the phone just as it came.
I installed Pixel Experience+, which its great, but there's two stock apps that I miss: Mi Screen Recorder and Mi security app.
Stock screen record was awesome: Just one touch on status bar to start recording, a floating button to start/stop and it let you record system audio and mic audio, choose 1080/720, 30/60 fps, etc. The Pixel experience+ one its just start/stop and nothing else, I don't even know if it's HD.
Security app was great too: Good trash cleaner, and a App Lock option by pin/fingerprint that it works great.
Is there a way to install those apps in Pixel Experience rom ? I tried to install apkmirror apks but it didn't work. Maybe it's something that it needs to be flashed. Or something that it just can't be done, that's why im asking.
Thanks!
ps: I just intalled the ROM, I didn't root the phone.

Some of them.
Short answer is NO at the moment there isnt any zip file that you flash it and boom Mi apps installed. (like the gapps) What you can do is to track & find which Mi-apps you want to install (manually).
What i had done in the past was to find the Mi Home launcher apk and the gallery i thing if you search you may find more apks but keep in mind that you can replace every single one app, just search for an alternative.

Thanks for the answer. That's bad new, I really liked those apps.
Yeah, I tried to download Screen Recorder and Mi Security apks from akpmirror and install it, but I couldn't.
I guess I'll have to try a third part app lock and screen recorder. Any suggestion?

uum... try to avoid 3rd party app lock (your custom rom may include that option already) as for screen recorder nop i dont have any suggestion. :|

Im going to share with you what i found after some research on the web even tho i havent test anything yet from the sources that im going to link below. I hope it helps

APP/APK Updater

Hi
Like Google Play, is there an updater that updates app from APKmirror or others automatic?

There are but I would suggest aurora which uses Google play without an account

Forgot to mention, it can also be apps that are not on Google Play.
Ex for me is: Disney+, have to find it on apkmirror (or others), has disappeared from my Google Play....
Ofcourse other apps also, that is not on google play.

Disney + is still on Google play Maybe not for your country or something but aurora uses anonymity to show you everything on the Play store

Something happens after a reset of my Shield. So can't find it anymore.
I will try aurora, tried it now on my phone, looks great.
New to this, so 1 question: Is it possible to make update and install. Now I had to hit install/upgrade for each of the apps?
And maybe run in the background and update apps?

With root yes that will auto update

Thanks for the answer.
Haven't read or tried that in years. Maybe I'll check for the Shield, my phone is brand new so I'll have to think about that.
Is it still the hassel of USB, program and much code on the laptop, if I could ask?

Now it's just using a modified boot file. An oversimplified explanation is to just enable oem unlock, reset to factory settings, extract the boot file, magisk modifies it, put it back in the phone and boom you're rooted

Thanks, will try to find the howto for my Shield and maybe my phone.
