Thanks, I have succeeded to run HBO via a patched apk, as the Firestick 2gen have <6 Android. I will try also the version above, thanks for providing!

Well that was really nice of you to share that patched APK with the rest of us in case someone else has the same issue. We really appreciate that.

Can you please share the patched APK @profusion ?
Or can @nicefile share again his APK?

Hi Everyone,
So I wanted to be able to use the HBO app as well, and hence starting messing around with the various tools available for this purpose. Although Android Studio would be a better choice, for this specific purpose I feel these tools are faster.
I will have to say that I managed to get HBO GO for Eastern Europe to work on Firestick, but although I am able to install HBO Spain it will not launch.
The idea was right in basically changing version and build codes to "platformBuildVersionCode="22" platformBuildVersionName="5.1.0">" in the manifest.xml. But it is not that simple as the apk will then need to be aligned and resigned with a different keystore. This is easily done with various tools. Things I did:
1) Using apktools decompile the apk (i.e. ".\apktool d appname.apk)
2) Open "Androidmanifest.xml" in the project directory.
3) Change both "platformBuildVersionCode" and "platformBuildVersionName" to the appropriate sdk. Usually, for a newer firestick it would be "platformBuildVersionCode="22" platformBuildVersionName="5.1.0" - save the file.
4) Recompile the apk (i.e. ".\apktool b projectfoldername")
Now when trying to install the apk using adb you should get:
[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
This is a good sign and means the manifest was modified correctly. But the apk will now need to be resigned by:
1) Using zipalign to re-align your achive.
2) Place the zipalign.bat and Input/Output folders where "debug.keystore" is located (probably User/YourName/.android). If you can't find keystore there, just open and close a new project with android studio and it should be created.
3) Place your modified apk in the Input folder and re-align with "zipalign -v 4 C:\nameofapp.apk C:\nameofappc.apk
After a success message, copy your re-aligned apk from "Output." Lastly, the re-signing process. You can open a prompt in Android Studio/jre/bin as that's usually where the tools you need are.
1) Paste the apk from "Output" in the folder. Create debug.keystore by typing "keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -alias yourappname.apk -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 20000" - write what you wish in the prompts (name, pass etc).
2) Get a certificate with "jarsigner -verbose -keystore debug.keystore C:\yourappname.apk yourappname.apk". Remember that the app needs to be the re-aligned version. Paste it in the appropriate directory.
Then you will need to install the finished apk with your method, but I always use adb since it's easiest. Simply copy the finished apk into your adb directory, then:
1) .\ adb install C:/appname
That's about it. If you have any questions you can ask here, I'm sure someone will either respond (as lots of competent people here) or I can respond myself.
Edit: If you are wondering "why a guy who has 1 post is editing this" it's very simple. I wanted to watch HBO spain without Kodi (I hate it). So I googled a solution on how to import the current app into firestick. And I found this page, which was incomplete, but it was probably the best resource on how to do this.

Anyone made patch for this?

First, uninstall the old versoin of the app. And install this one. (The update not working, becouse of the different signing key.)

I didn't have any version of the apk at the time of installation

[N2E][1.1] TouchNooter 2.1.31

This Nooter is officially supported by The Nooter Project for Nook Simple Touch​
I'm not adding certain things because I don't believe they should be available as part of a rooting kit designed to give users more control of their devices. Things such as additional readers or CPU Clocks are up to the user to install themselves and needlessly putting them in Nooter creates app bloat that a user may or may not want. You can always drop Apps you want into \nooter\data\app and they will install automatically when you root the device. This Nooter is designed with the sole purpose of opening up the possibilities of the device by giving users Root, Google Apps, and other Apps which make the device more usable as an android device than just an e-reader.
What it does:
Enables ADB via uRamdisk
Installs adbWireless
Installs Button Savior
Installs NookTouch Tools
Installs Amazon Marketplace
Installs su and Superuser.apk
Installs ADW + E-ink Friendly Theme
Installs Busybox & Busybox Installer/Uninstaller
Installs Gapps (Gmail, Market, Youtube, Others)
Installs NookColor Tools (To Enable Non-Market Installs)
System Files that get Modified:
/system/build.prop - Enabling Google Check In
packages.xml - Allows Gapps to install properly.
framework.jar - Should allow a proper Android ID to generate.
Changes:
January 26, 2012 -
Tested Fix: ADW not installing - Caused by spaces in ADW's Filename in 2.1.26
Added: Amazon Marketplace, Opera Mini
January 26, 2012 -
Added: adbWireless, SuperManager (Root File Manager, APK Manager, other useful tools), Busybox Installer/Uninstaller
Untested Fix: Market 1 Day wait
Updated: busybox, ButtonSavior.apk, su & SuperUser.apk
November 20, 2011 -
Removed: GoLauncher, LiveWallPaper Picker, maybe some other stuff.
Added: New Market, ADW with Black Minimalist Theme, NookTouchTools.
New: Rooting Image
June 24, 2011 -
Removed: Multitouch Permission
Added: Modified framework.jar
June 22, 2011 - Fixed: Script not running at boot.
June 20, 2011 - Initial Release
Before you begin:
You must already have a registered Nook Simple Touch
You must have a Gmail/Youtube linked Account. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.
You must either have dd (Linux) or WinImage (Windows) software.
You must have an external microSDCard reader or this will not work. Using the Nook Simple Touch can result in it becoming unusable (bricked).
You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
Let's get started:
Download TouchNooter from here: touchnooter-2-1-31.zip - Uploaded
Linux: Unzip and use dd if=touchnooter-xx-xx-xx.img of=/dev/sdcard (where xx-xx-xx is the version number)
Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.
Windows Alternative: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
If you wish to use Underclocking follow these steps
Download Underclock.zip from uploaded attachments
Unzip it and place the data folder in /nooter/
Check that the com.antutu.CpuMasterFree folder is in the /nooter/data/data folder
Check that com.antutu.CpuMasterFree.apk is in /nooter/data/app
Power off your Nook Simple Touch.
Insert TouchNooter SDcard into your Nook Simple Touch.
Power on your Nook Simple Touch.
You should see the new TouchNooter boot screen, follow all instructions.
That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff.
Upon boot unlock your screen.
At the Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In.
Enable Location Services when given the option.
Connect to Wifi and launch Youtube from ADW's App Drawer (Or the App Drawer of your Choice).
Click the Menu button (The right one in the middle of the status bar).
Select "My Channel" and Login using your Gmail Account.
Exit Youtube and Launch Gmail from ADW's App Drawer.
Sync your Gmail Account and Exit. (If it fails to sync that is fine.)
At this time Market fails and you must wait up to a day. Just check it every so often. Future updates should fix this.
Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service.
If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted. Go Download an App to make sure.
Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
If your Youtube fails to launch Uninstall and Reinstall Youtube from /data/app
Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format

Hi
It works great, thanks.
Beside the full GApps do you know if there's a way today to get the Market working on a firmware 1.1 with TouchNooter 1.11.11 ?

Go through all the steps manually with something like noogie. The reason TouchNooter can't do it is because to get the script to run requires the the system to boot, replacing the files while the system is active will cause the system to crash when you go to reboot it to complete the steps for Market. Because of this to install Gapps you have to use a method that doesn't require the system to be active like Noogie.
Another method which would allow us to add Gapps, is if someone completed a version of CWM for Nook Touch.
Dear Gabriel,
somehow i gained working market on my Nook with 1.1. I used the older touchnooter with subplanted framework.jar and uRamdisk (wifi one). Then i've done all steps as in guide. Market however didn't saw any applications. I removed youtube app, and it started working! Then updated market to that one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15084704&postcount=51 using adb.
"adb install -r Vending.apk"
And right now i'm cool.
I've done the root for 1.1 manually, and it was a bit of a pain, so everybody should be thanking Gabrial here for streamlining the process a bit and not having to hunt down all the elements necessary to make a rooted Nook useful. (It's not actually difficult, but nobody has centralized *all* of the info even if much of it can be found in the Knowledge Base thread, including e.g. that you need Busybox even for something as simple as the cp command.)
domi.nos-
Is the -r switch for reinstallations any different than removing the old Vending.apk and then installing the new one? I still have not got market 100%; search won't work. Is it working for you? It's not really that big a deal because I only need a few apps but all the same it'd be nice...
Is it necessary to revert to original Nook ROM (the backup I've made before rooting the Nook Touch)?
No as a see it does not search. ;/ But in my opinion it is more important to find out why did my nook (any everyone elses' as i presume) disappear from pc market website.
But as i remember in the previous 1.01 software market couldn't do true way of searching, it was only showing most used searches.
This may sound dump, but I don't have a lot of knowledge with android yet.
This root is without any google apps, Can I download the google apps apks and install them on my device?
Dark_hawk,
From what I read from Gabrial, the only way to install Gapps if when nook is booting, and there is no safe way as from now. I'm still checking, though.
My experience so far? 1.1, touchnootered with 1.11.11, backup recovered with titanium backup pro (which worked quite well, I might add), and besides market, everything else is working?
I'm looking for info on how to install Gapps, or market at least, but no luck yet. Gabrial mentioned something about using noogie, but I don't even know where to look for Gapps version that may work on Nook STR>

The Easy method above worked perfectly with my new nook running 1.1.0.
all I would add is that I got search working in the market by toggling "allow non market apps" in Nook Tools app, then installing the vending.apk file from my sd card with ES file explorer as an application. just select yes when it asks you to replace system app.
To get ES file explorer to begin with, I scrolled thru the whole list of top free apps, which took awhile.
Apps that I was able to install and work:
ES file explorer, Facebook, Google reader, Google voice, XDA app, Opera mobile, Opera mini, Google+, Quickpic and Paint easy.
Thanks to everyone for all the hard work that made it easy for a N00b like me to root and customize my NST!

+1 It seems ES File Explorer is not installed!
Well, I followed the recipe:
- Restored
- Resetted
- Updated to 1.1.0
- Touchnootered with 1.6.24 and framework and uramdisk for 1.1.0
- Three locked boots (at least 5 minutes each)
- When tried without SD, got back to regular nook!!!!
I did register, though, after reset. Would that make a difference???
Gotta try.
I've tried to install ESFile Explorer through browser but with no results. Besides, browser crashes when, for instance, I try to write something on google.
One way to side-load apk's

The way I did it was to copy apk's to my SD card, then download a file explorer/manager app from the market (my personal favorite is ES file explorer), which allows you to view the contents of your SD card, and select apk's to install.

It sounds like you did it the exact same way I did. Just to make sure did you delete the old Framework and uramdisk files, then copy/rename their replacements to match the original files? i.e. framework.jar and uRamdisk

I think the easiest way to get it would be from the market. if you haven't updated the vending.apk file to fix searching the market then you would have to use the category buttons at the top of the market to browse for it and install it.
Yes, I deleted the old version, installed uRamdisk usb 1.1 and framework 1.1.jar and renamed them properly (same name as erased files).
Did it all over again, no registering, and same result: after running for 3 times, went back to regular nook STR!!!
Forget about the restart the process three times, do it like this:
1) Use nookRestore to restore /system.
2) Erase and Deregistered to wipe /data
(If it dosnt let you, force it shutting down your nook, then starting it up, and when the screen flickers press right and left bottom buttons, hold for 5+ seconds).
3) Register, or not, as you preffer.
4) Apply 1.1 firmware update.
5) Open the TouchNooter 1.6.24 image and inside the nooter folder, search and substitude the uRamdisk for this one http://www.multiupload.com/CJ981FWPJG
and framework.jar for this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19201466&postcount=352.
6) Use the new TouchNooter 1.6.24 to root your device. Follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132693
If it dosnt work, try again until it works.
7) Continue with registering: Youtube (401 error) --> GMail --> Market.
8) Download adb, and unzip it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124160&page=6
download this vending apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124160&page=6
and sqlite3:
http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-shell-win32-x86-3070900.zip
copy the apk and sqlite3 tothefolderyouunzippedadb/platform-tools , open cmd and then:
cd tothefolderyouunzippedadb/platform-tools
adb connect yournooktouchip
Now we are going to enable non market apps use my method, or what madmachinist said:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';"
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
adb reboot
now when NST reboots:
cd tothefolderyouunzippedadb/platform-tools
adb connect yournooktouchip
adb install Vending.apk
adb reboot
You are done, everything should work now.

[Q] KF2: Unable to boot into CM10 - Any help appreciated

Hi Guys,
Firstly, thanks so much for the info on this community. I've followed loads of the threads and almost all of what I need to know is here.
I have a KF2 @ v10.3.1. I've rooted it and applied the 2nd bootloader using a homemade lead (thanks to the thread on that!). I started in Windows but switched to Kubuntu after getting driver issues etc.. To compound the problem, the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, which didn't help as I couldn't load apps whist it was stock. (It's not stolen or otherwise illegally obtained. Amazon sent it in error, and despite me contacting them to ask how to return it, they've never replied)
Anyhow, After following THIS thread, which appeared to go OK, after rebooting I'm unable to boot into Recovery. The blue screen just stays there. I can still boot normally, but I would like to load CM10 which is loaded as per the thread, along with gapps, both in zip format. I have read many threads about being stuck on the blue screen, but these are always locked and need to be restored, but I have no problem booting normally and the KF2 is not locked. I've searched this site and googled plenty.
I don't expect an exact answer, but if someone could just point me at what to look at, I'm sure I can find the rest of the info I need on here. :good:
Oh, also. Another quick question. I see that the CM10 images are constantly being updated, if (when I get mine working) I want to use one of these, is it simply a case of copying the zip file over? Or is there more to do than that.
Many thanks in advance.
You can boot normally? Into stock, I assume.
Run the apk tool from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106463
Should get you fixed right up
The zip file will have to be flashed from recovery. So, its a matter of copying the zip file (and gapps) over. Boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. Then flash rom first, the gapps.
Also, be VERY CAREFUL and make sure you have a GOOD DOWNLOAD by checking the md5 on the file. If you wipe the system (which deletes the stack file) you will not be able to boot into recovery or anything.
I still recommend that you purchase a fastboot cable.
Edit: also, when booting into recovery you might have to hit the power button a couple of times.

Cheers mindmajick. I've tried to do this but still having a few problems.
If I use the wired version, the runme.bat does not have permissions to the data/app folder. I can't seem to run it in Kubuntu as it says I can't run a binary file if I make it executable, but says I don't have permission if I remove execute. (I'm looking into this - but I'm not very good with Linux, so lots of Googling!!...lol....) Also I see that there are some issues with this version with the wireless version being favored. Unfortunately as I'm unable to log onto my Amazon account, I can't use this method.
I will continue to try, I'm almost there now, thanks for you help so far.

I'm still unsure how to run the runme.sh from Kubuntu command line.
I tried - ./runme.sh
but error is - unable to run a binary file - or something like that.
I'm unable to use the cordless version com.powerpoint45.FMKilo-2.apk due to the fact that as the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, I'm unable to log in and download or install .apk files.
Is there is an alternative way to install .apk files without needing to log in?
Hopefully that makes a little more sense. Cheers
Yes. Download the fmkilo apk from his thread, (use the browser if you have to) then once downloaded pull down the notification bar and tap on the apk link. Also, make sure that the option to install from unknown sources is set in the settings before doing the download
You could alternatively push the file via adb to the system Directory.
Is USB debugging enabled? Are you rooted?

Yup, that did it. I had overlooked the fact that I was still able to use the browser on the KF2 and didn't really know you could install .apk's using that method anyway. So now I have carried on and installed Jellybean 4.2.2 on there and it works a treat.
Thank you ever so much Mindmajick for taking an interest in my problem, I really do appreciate yours and the rest of the developers time on here. :good:

Not a problem: Thanks
I think this is a method of pushing the flash and image files to the tablet and then installing using ADB by the way it is described.
I think I have that method copied down some place else.
I have never used this method but, sounds like it would work.
I also presume you need root to do the install via ADB.

Help with getting Hearthstone up and running

Hey Everyone,
So Blizzard just released Hearthstone for android and everyone's rushing to be able to play the game on their android devices. I've seen some comments about how to get it to work but I have had no luck as my app crashes when I get to the option to log in. I'm currently on the most recent Slimkat stable build so that may be another reason as to why it doesn't work.
Taking the info I received from a thread on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/2pestg/hearthstone_is_out_on_android_tablets/
Download the .apk linked by /u/Xeonelite
Download both .obb files also linked by /u/Xeonelite
Put .obb files in the directory /sdcard/Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone
Run the .apk to install (you may need to enable installation of unknown apps in your settings)
You should be good to go if your screen is larger than 6". If not, follow the next few steps.
Install the Xposed module "App Settings"
Enable "App Settings" in Xposed and find Hearthstone on the app list
Check the box that says "xlarge res."
Save the settings and exit
Launch Hearthstone, you should be good to go!

The link to the files are here in this comment. I've had no luck so far, but others have reported being able to get it working. Have any of you been able to get it running? Successfully got it working with my reply down below! If one of the builds doesn't work, then use the other linked!
Im just trying to get works too. I think it should works flashing some custom rom and decreasing the DPI. We only can test and test until get it

Hi, i just find that:
Hey there
It seems everybody is eager to play Hearthstone on their mobile phone, but they can't because their phones aren't 6 inch or bigger. There is a way to get around this, but it involves some decompiling/recompiling and changing two lines of code.
First of all, the tools that you need are:
To decompile the APK: This tool
To decompile CSharp: Decompile CSharp: This tool
This one requires a plugin though; when you start this software, look for the menu item "Plugins/Plugins Manager" and install the plugin called "Assembly Editor"
Other things you need:
The original APK: This one
The OBB files: These
Step one:
Fire up APK Studio and decompile the Hearthstone APK
Open up the AndroidManifest.xml file
Replace android:normalScreens="false" with android:normalScreens="true"
The same goes for android:smallScreens="false" -> android:smallScreens="true"
Save this file
Step two:
Fire up JustDecompile and open the file Assembly-Csharp.dll (your_decompiled_folder/assets/bin/Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll)
Look in <Default namespace> for the class "MobileCallbackManager"
(if you haven't by now, open up the plugin by selecting it in the Plugins window (Reflexil))
There is a method in there called "IsAndroidDeviceTabletSize()", click on it
In the window of the plugin, on the "Instructions" tab, you should now see a line that has a value of 6 in the Operand column (http://puu.sh/dx8bX/bff8ee08ad.png)
Right click on this and select edit and change the value to 1 (or whatever you want, just a number smaller than the size of your phone) and then click Update
In the list on the left, scroll all the way back up, right click on "Assembly-CSharp", select "Reflexil 1.8 -> Save As" and save it (trying to overwrite the original one caused problems for me)
(If you have problems with this one, go to step two.one)
Remove the Assembly-CSharp.dll file and rename the new dll to Assembly-CSharp.dll
Steo two.one (Only if you're having problems saving the DLL):
- On the same line where you clicked edit and changed the value from 6 to whatever. Right click again and select "Replace all with code"
- This should open a window showing some code, **just click cancel**
- Now try to save using the normal steps
Step three:
Open APK Studio again
Click on the hammer icon (make sure you have the project selected) to build your modified APK (rebuilt.apk in the build folder)
Step four (you can skip this if you already have the OBB files on your phone):
Put the OBB files on your SD card in the following folder
Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone/XXX.OBB
Step five:
Install the APK
Enjoy the game
I've tested this myself on a Nexus 4 (KitKat) and Nexus 5 (Lollipop) and it starts on both. However, at some point it just decides to crash on my Nexus 5 and I assume this is because of Lollipop.

So it turns out another build of Hearthstone works quite well. Thanks for your possible fix too zliffer, that may help others who might need it! This one is version 738705 instead of the 738702 which was linked before. This one doesn't require being on a GPE rom, just follow the same steps for the same files and it should work!

Nice, i will try it now. in the other hand i had read that only changing the dpi in adb it should works
You could also try this.
Runs on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 without problems. Without root!
Just copy files and install apk.

AR Core Google Measure on OP3

Anyone made the Measure app work on their OP3?
I'm also having problems what's brought me here. I was trying different versions and nothing works :/
Yep, works perfectly fine here. Do other AR Core apps work for you?
Actually I have a problem with installing AR Core itself, do you have a link to proper version?
Also can't get it to work. I tried a few different versions of the ARCore apk now, but when opening the measure app all I get is different error messages.

Do you have a OnePlus 3 or 3T?
I've had ARC running earlier, but can't get the Measure app to work. I can install both APKs, but I get error when starting the Measure app.

I have the 3.
What I did was the following:
1) Download and install the latest ARCore apk from apkmirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/arcore/arcore-1-3-180604066-release/
2) Sideload an ARCore-enabled app like Just a Line or IKEA Place (again, from APK Mirror) and launch it so it crashes the first time.
3) Using a root explorer, go to /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database/ and find the file for the OnePlus 3T (it will have "OnePlus3T" in its name).
4) Rename/Remove the "T" from "OnePlus3T" in the file name.
5) Launch an ARCore-enabled app again and it should work flawlessly.

... or it replies to you then with the error: " This device does not support AR" instead of hanging at start ^^
Fobos531´s instructions seem to work well for me. I can use the measure app now. Though I'm not yet sure how exact it is. Haven't had much time yet for testing it.
For reference, I've got OP3 (not T) running NitrogenOS 8.1
Fixed, I completely kicked ARCore APK and reinstalled. Now it works. AR Stickers does not, but I think that I use the wrong APK...

Can you try manually creating the file in that case? Create a "files" folder, inside create a folder named "device_profile_database" and inside that folder create a file named "device_profile_OnePlus3_colon_8.textproto" (make sure .textproto is the extension). Put this in the file: https://gist.github.com/fobos531/64cd45838ffb6a143a83306882d208b6
Also the file should have read+write permissions only for the owner (you can do "chmod 600 /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database/device_profile_OnePlus3_colon_8.textproto") to achieve this.

Same happened to me. Problem was a too old apk (didn't use the version from the download link above at first, thought I had the right one)
Sure you used that one?

This works well for me.
I have the Skulshady's ARCore before. I uninstall it and install the latest version from apkmiror, then follow this guide and works fine.
Thanks @Fobos531 , your way works for me like a charm. OOS 5.0.3 with Magisk. Installed ArCore 1.3 from apkmirror, then Ikea app, let it crash one time, edited the filename and everything works now.
i installed the lasr ar core from apk mirror,
and downloaded measures from play store
and i didnt do anything else
and its working fine.

If you are able to download measure app from play store then it means, your phone supports this, you don't need to do anything else

Question Trying to install APK from APKMirror, getting "The parser did not find any certificates in the .apk"

Hi everyone,
I'm using LineageOS with a OnePlus 9 Pro.
I'm trying to install the OnePlus camera app downloaded from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/onepl.../oneplus-camera-6-2-117-android-apk-download/
When I try to install it with the built-in installer, it just says "App not installed."
If I try installing it with the APKMirror installer, it displays the error message "The parser did not find any certificates in the .apk"
What is the reason for this, or how can I fix this?
Thanks!
Is that. Apk file?
Hi @warangekar!
Yep, it's an .apk file downloaded from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/onepl.../oneplus-camera-6-2-117-android-apk-download/, it's com.oneplus.camera_6.2.117-26211918_minAPI29(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
(This is the version for which the Notes say "Extracted from OnePlus 9 Pro", that's why I chose this one. But afterwards I tried a couple more different versions of the same app, and I got the same error message for all of them when tried to install.)
It's extension is exactly. apk something like .xapk, .apks
@warangekar It's exactly .apk
Download Mirror Apk installer and try to install it with it
@warangekar I did, as I wrote in my first message:
>If I try installing it with the APKMirror installer, it displays the error message "The parser did not find any certificates in the .apk"
May be that Apk file is corrupt
If that file is not corrupted then you should try following,
This error is thrown by adb when we use it to install the application on a device/emulator. There are a few things you can try to isolate and resolve the issue.
Try on a different device/emulator. If this works, it is most probably an issue with the device configuration - check that USB debugging is enabled in Developer options.
Try killing the adb process. The CLI will start a fresh one on the next run.
Try to cleanup the configuration and artifacts directories - rm -rf node_module hooks platforms. Then run the application again.
Try installing Android SDK Tools version 28.0.3 and Android SDK 28
If the issue persists, you can run the project with tns run android --log trace > out.txt command and send us the out.txt file that will contain the full output log of the NativeScript CLI.
As the page says :
- "Note: Sideloading this APK may not work, so you may need root to install. Click here for more info.
For some reason, some manufacturers sometimes forget to sign some system APKs with APK Signature Scheme v2, while indicating that these APKs are indeed v2-signed. These APKs are usually signed with only APK Signature Scheme v1 (jar signature), so we can still confirm the signature is valid, but Android will refuse to sideload them due to the missing v2 signature."
So most probably signing it will do the trick.
I signed it with a debug key, see if it work.
EDIT: tested and working on android 11
Okay
You can't install the APK on non-OOS ROMs. It needs to be ported (modified) in order to work on non-stock ROMs. And no, there is no ported version of it.

I'm talking about OnePlus phones, try checking next time in what Sub-Forum you're in.
Oh, wait, and it must be fun having a non-functional camera installed into your phone. khm khm

- First, he have a one plus 9 pro and lineage.
- Second your answer say that it can't be installed on non oos-rom ... so not right.
- Third Maybe will be not good, maybe on some phone will crash but the apk definitely install itself because it was only missing a signature.
- And last I'm not using it, I've installed only to be sure that the apk install itself.
So "You can't install the APK on non-OOS ROMs." Is not right, it can be installed.
