Apps moving out of folders after a reboot? - Sony Xperia 5 Questions & Answers

Hello does anyone have installed fx file manager or VLC?
They both install extra apps so you get 2 icons when I put them in a folder and reboot they reappear out of the folder. Anyone else get this?

Readers Hub 12/06/10

i know theres other threads out there with readers hub
but none thats fully functional
this was ripped out of the jm6 fw that was just released last week
i pulled it off my own tab
just install all apks and all should work
you might have to put them in your system app folders then restart
see post 2 for zinio apk
Please let me know your results
heres zinio apk
Awesome. Thanks alot. I have a north american tab so these apps were not included. I hav ed actually found aldiko and nook to be great reader apps, especially since you can import epub files. I tried to replace my gallery app with another that was supposed to display as higher resolution images, which it does but also force closes often. Any chance you can upload the stock gallery 3d apk?
VZW Tab
I tried to install the ReadersHub.apk, no dice :-(
put in in your system apps folder and reboot
I installed this and can get zinio working to where the magazine subscriptions are present, but there are no pictures. I installed it about two weeks ago. Do you know how old this Apk is? I'd love to get it to work.

I'm EXTREMELY new at this apparently, when you say system apps folder, which one is that? I tried to put it into the Root folder but I cannot get it to work.

i think you want to use root explorer or adb to put apk in /system/apps/ folder.
Zinio still doesn't show the page pictures unless you pinch to zoom for any magazines after August 2010. Does anyone know why this is or if there is a fix in the works? Cannot get any info from zinio directly.

ok you need to be rooted and have busy box install to be able to write to system
once you have above done open up estrongs/or root explorer find the app your trying to install copy it and paste it into system / apps folder then reboot
I still can't get the Reader's Hub file to install or show up in the apps list after rebooting. I've spent hours trying to get this work and no dice.
Wonder if the problems with Zinio can be remedied by changing our screen density settings? Just a thought, may be way off here.

Copied with Root explorer and rebooted. Still doesn't show up as installed. Is there supposed be a .odex file to go with it?

Don't know why this is right off jm6
Max, if you have Titanium backup, can you take a backup of Readerhub and post the backup file?

Out of space error

Check /data/app, there's likely some com. file or odex or something else from the app still hanging out there.
Also could try searching for 'call' or 'block', etc, with a file manager and see what shows up. May not necessarily contain those words though.

Sometimes apk's are bad. Do soft restart (battery out for 30 sec. while device is on) and try a different apk.
If not then need to re-flash.
How do I get to odex file data/app?

Use a file explorer to navigate to /data/app and /system/app/ and I believe /emmc/ followed by the same directories also may contain the problem file. You can navigate to these with ES File explorer, root explorer, tons of options for file browsers.

So go to homescreen click left most bottom button which is settings then find applications then enable non market apps and you should see the right most tab is sd card rowser yay!:cyclops:
Snif I thought I had it all figured out apparently that sd slot was just for programs installed on the sd not to browse the sd for apk's to install, still need someway to execute .apk's without market/play playing around with the stock wifi I found out that it was not connecting and needed a push so eventually market worked and wallah problem solved! Imagine other peeps might not have this problem so anyone with a solution would be awesome still!!!

What exactly are you trying to do?
I uninstalled htcclockwidget and world clock to install nexus 4 clock, but it didn't work. Now I'm trying to reinstall those apps, but it doesn't work. I used root explorer to move the apks in the system/app folder to install.

are you installing the apks? thaat probably wont work, what you would do is take the apks and move it into system/apps using a file explorer that has root access like rootexplorer paste it back into the system/app directory with all the other system apps and set the correct permissons and reboot and you should be okay

Please help me find where my phone is storing my apps

The apps I install don't appear in the usual place when I use a file explorer. I want to transfer some files for presets and backups for apps like tasker and kustom but my phone seems to be hiding the folders for any app I install somewhere where I can't find them. Any help would be appreciated thanks

Hi. Yes that's where they would usually be but I've installed around 30 apps and none of them are appearing there. It appears my phone is hiding them somewhere I can't access.

Have you tried the /data directory but that's if you're rooted.
