[Q] [HELP!!] Deleted some odex, now no more apk installer - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was trying to install some APK manually then i got a "LOW STORAGE SPACE" warning. Check online, was 'guided' to delete some .odex file.
I think i deleted some wrong files but I can't remember which. After deleting the .odex, I was able to install the APK I wanted to install.
But now, which is few hours later with a few reboot done to my phone. I can't use Google Play (getting error 406), I can't manually install APK which I transferred from my notebook. When I try to open the APK file (and few others which previously worked) via Root Explorer or File Commander both apps return the similar warning, somethings that says "there are no apps capable of opening this kind of file"
Any help here?

from your question I guess it is the packageinstaller.apk/odex you deleted but not sure
with out the name of the files you deleted you cant get it to work
so simply reflash the rom

Cant open the Android Files on the SD Card ?

Hai!
So I just copied the Android Froyo files directly onto my SD card, and when I try to open them on my HTC HD2 I recieve an error that the file cant be opened and I should try to reinstall it.
Any help ?
Bai!
When you unzip the downloaded zipped file on your PC, you should end up with an android folder. It's that folder that you need in the root of your SD.
It's detailed very clearly how to install and run Android on every single build page that I've read. You should start where you downloaded it from.

I did that, same error.
Anyonez ?
Please
We're not mind readers. What exactly did you do and what was the error?
ALright:
- I copied the folder to my SD Card on the HD2.
- I go to 'Start' -> File explorer -> And then I select the audio file thing and after that the file to start the Android itself.
When I do the last step, I get an error that says:
The file "CLRCAD/HARET" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
Search for sdkcerts and install that on your phone. That should fix your problem.
Sent from my iPhone 5 beta using the XDA App
Does it matter where I extract the file to ?
Do I have to put it on my SD card or on my HD2 program files ?
THANKS!
Tried both locations, getting an error while installing the .cab:
'Installation of SdkCerts.cab has failed.'
Hey guy sorry if I didn't post right, butvi have a problem I just put a new build of android on my phone its cell core version, everything works fine like emulators, internet, etc. the only thing that doesn't work is when I try to download androzip for I can urar files and unzipped 7z files.

Make your own topic please.
So what point I am at:
- I copied the Android folder to my SD Card on the HD2.
- I go to 'Start' -> File explorer -> And then I select the audio file thing and after that the file to start the Android itself.
When I do the last step, I get an error that says:
The file "CLRCAD/HARET" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
-------------------
Then this person told me to download a .cab that would fix all the problems, and when I wanted to install it I got the error:
'Installation of SdkCerts.cab has failed.'
--------------------
And now I dont have a CLUE what to do! Lol
I am guessing you are running a stock windows mobile rom? You need to either run a custom rom or find "Advanced Configuration Tool" and install it so you can enable the rom to run all unsigned applications. Then you can run the android apps to boot it.
It is in the misc. section. More info: http://www.touchxperience.com/en/applications/advanced-configuration-tool.html
Uhm, where can I find a custom ROM :$?
I tried that Advanced Config, but when I try to run it on my phone it just gives me the error:
The file "AdvancedConfig" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.."
**** it, I will just peform a hard reset
Making a back-up of my contacts at this moment.
Peformed a Hard-Reset and the Android and all other files are working FKING GREAT!
Love you guys!
If you get that problem again, you should install an app called "bsb tweaks" (or a similar app) and set it to "allow unsigned"
this should allow you to install things that you couldnt before...........
Glad you got it sorted.
Thanks, John, for helping me out!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
you don't rename it.
on computer you extract it, go into system and you see the apk
it won't let you install on phone by just clicking
put on sd card
go to astro, or root manager
move the memo.apk to system/app
done.
you need to extract the folder with winrar winzip whatever then there is a folder with the apk in it. copy it over to your phone under downloads or where ever you want to put it. then install.
edit: just did all that i said and when i tried to install the apk it says "application not installed"
just did what u said, even rebooted, and still don't see it

read the post above.
you have to move the .apk to system/apps
because memo isn't a regular app.
got the same thing. used astro, place the apk in system/apps. nothing happened. rebooted, still nothing. then even tried using the app manager in astro to install it and it says "there is a problem parsing the package"
Link no longer working... could somebody upload it again please ?

I've tried this with MIUI (1.7.22) on a SGS Captivate with no success. I have flashed many roms and installed/sideloaded many apps over the past 10 months. I know I'm doing it right, as I have 'installed' other system apps by moving the apk to /system/apps and fixing permissions and ownership. Has this worked for anyone on a MIUI ROM?
Another related question would be - is there a way to export the notes from the stock memo.apk?

Help, I uninstalled "clock 1.0" and can't restore it (system app apparently)

Help, I uninstalled "clock 1.0" and can't restore it (system app apparently)
I uninstalled clock 1.0 because i thought it would get rid of the widget of clock pictures I didn't use. I backed up clock 1.0 on titanium backup, but now it won't restore. even after i extract the apk and install it from there manually, it says installation failed.
i don't want to do factory reset because i have already rooted the phone.
help? or point me in a much better clock app than the one that came with the galaxy s2?
Apparenly it was a system app?!? com.sec.android.app.clockpackage
ok, so after some digging i found that com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.apk still existed in system/apps but just wasn't running. I also noticed for almost every .apk, there was a .odex. But for my clockpackage, there was no .odex, maybe that's why it's not working?
on that thought, maybe anyone here can copy their .odex files for the 2 clock .apks and send them to me? Just use Root Explorer to see the system/app folder, mount R/W if you need to, then copy the 2 .odex files and then upload them somewhere? Pls?!?
if you want root explorer, holla at me via pm

Stupid me did exactly the same and has exactly the same problem. Any help appreciated!
Regards, edi
same problem - thanks in advance
Well, found a solution: installed KE7 through Odin, Rootet again, everything was still there except google account binding...
Regards, Edi
THIS IS HOW I SOLVED IT. This is a superior solution to the one above as you do not need to reflash or reroot and you keep all data and settings. Apologies for not replying earlier.
1)keep your clockpackage.apk in system/apps
2)download this .odex file
3)put the file in system/apps, remember to mount r/w in rootexplorer to enable pasting it in there, then mount r/o when finished
4)turn phone off.
5)turn phone on.
(You need Root Explorer, or a similar app that will let you read/write system files) (Pls also refer to this thread)
Here's the odex file.
No success...
Guys, I did all you said here, following the step-by-step, managed to get both files in system/app folder, but still can't see the icon as if it were installed.
I have Root Explorer and Root explorer installed.
I noticed all files were set as "rw-r--r--" so I changed it on both apk and odex... I'm doing this on a Galaxy W running stock 2.3.6...
What am I forgetting???
All and any help will be deeply appreciated...
[Update]
I managed to get the ClockPackage.apk and the ClockPackage.odex from another device (running on 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6) and now I get the following error while trying to install the apk:
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Does anybody know what to do?

Mate, it might sounds silly, but where's system/apps? Can't find it, no matter what pro version of any software I use (MyBackup Pro, ES File Explorer). It's like it's missing on my phone. Can you help me more? I've the same problem for the case.

Did you do what the instructions said? They clearly say 'use Root Explorer'. If you open Root Explorer, and scroll down, you will find the 'system' folder. Inside there will be another, 'apps'. That's what the post says....

[Q] Sideloading Archiving and Unarchiving?

I've only started trying to sideload after only being rooted with the CWM Root.. I've watched the tutorials from Albert on Youtube and have read numerous posts on here on sideloading, If I'm only missing a program or something I'm gonna be a little embarrassed but right now I can't seem to get any APK to install on my NT..
So far I have downloaded the ES File Explorer, I've sent my APK files over to a file that I have created to store them and have tried to open them using the ES File Explorer, and I keep getting the same error ("Unable to Install" This application was not able to instal on your device. Please "Archive" and then "Unarchive" the application to try again.) Then my APK file is no longer on my tablet.. I have to reload it from the PC and try again.. with the same results.
Also I have tried the download method for the APK files in which he showed with the same error and results..
If you have seen this and is easy I applogize for the incovenience, but I have been unable to find this on the forums..
Thank you Much..
You are opening it with the wrong package installer, B&N has their own package installer, and it's being opened with that instead of the Android one.
The bigger problem is once it's viewed as "incompatible" it's deleted by B&N's so it would need to be put back on the device.
Your default may be set incorrectly if you don't get a prompt to ask which package installer.

That would make sense that I'm opening it with the wrong installer. Where am I going to find the other package installers and set them as my default??
Also I've Downloaded APK installers from the Android Market and hae tried those as well but getting incompatible errors with those as well..

Files App Showing 0 Byte APK in Downloads Folder

Hi guys,
I was checking my download folder today using the default Files app and saw this .apk file that I didn't download. Naturally, I wanted to remove the .apk but when I tried to remove it, the function failed.
I tried to get more information but there's nothing I can do to the .apk. I can't open it, copy it, rename it, etc.
Next step, I plugged my phone into my computer and looked at the internal Downloads folder via USB file transfer. I could not see that specific .apk, even with view hidden objects on.
So, I went into my file manager app (Amaze with root access) and went to the emulated Downloads folder, same thing. The folder did not show the .apk at all.
I opened up SD Maid and see if they can find and remove the file, but nope, didn't work.
Now, I'm thinking it's probably just a bug with the Files app so I deleted user data and cache, restarted my phone and all that but still, that .apk persists.
I'm at my wit's end and I have no clue how to remove this file. Any help will be appreciated.
I'm using Google Pixel 3, Android 10.
