[General Questions and Answers] RuggedHunter:
The link to Dan's "loki" exploit is very old and has long since been patched...and it wasn't so much of a bootloader unlock as it was a workaround.

The problem is for ATT and Verizon phones made by Samsung... started with the S4, then the Note3...OTA updates to other Samsung devices also "knox'd" their bootloaders. Note 4 and S5 were shipped with them.

Traditional root/flashing advice to people with these devices from these carriers are seriously putting them at risk of bricking.

The technology used to lock these devices was developed by NSA.... 'nuff said.

There has been a lot of work on getting kexec to execute and load a custom kernel over the stock, but it doesn't work yet and almost all developers have left for more development friendly devices.

Hey guys, I tried installing an apk through Terminal and I get this:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_URI]

and when I tried installing it through adb:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]

I'm running Lollipop on my device. tried three different ROMs no luck :/
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Sometimes the background data transmissions from various apps and update checks and things like that are using data and can slow you down, there are apps that give you control of these background data transmissions, also depending on your carrier you may be getting throttled, clearing your cache, cookies and app data is usually enough though, if you do these steps and still have a slow browser then look into using something like greenify to limit your background data usage, there are also browsers that claim to be faster but I've never tested them to see. Also go through all your apps and turn off the anonymous usage info off if the app has that setting.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you have flashed a custom ROM like the rest of us here then you should have found and flashed a Google apps package in zip format, whatever your android version is (4.?.?, or 5.?) then you should find a Google Apps package to match your version of android, basically for example, if the android version of your ROM is 4.0 then you need 4.0 Gapps package, if you have 4.3 ROM then you need 4.3 Gapps, if you have 4.4.4 on your ROM then use 4.4.4 Gapps, match the Gapps to the version in your ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] jackalpret:
thanks, I have answers in the miui thread, the solution is install through mi market, and the if google play store have FC uninstall and install again, and if problem continuous wipe cache in recovery ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
When you select something and the window pops up for you to choose does it have a box for you to check to make it the default selection for that action? I guess the simplest would be to restore your nandroid and next time just clear cache and cookies but not the defaults, or if you backed up the data like someone else suggested then you can put the part that has those defaults back but you'd probably have to put everything back or go through and selectively choose what to put back, that's a pain though, that's why I suggested just restore your nandroid.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

Are there no Gapps packs for your device or something? Flashing a Gapps zip in recovery is much simpler, or is this not an option with your device?

[General Questions and Answers] :
No, look back a bit. He needs an .apk from the stock ROM for his device because he accidentally deleted it. He doesn't need to flash anything, lol. :p
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I saw that. But how did he get a tar file from that? And is it flashable through ODIN? He does own a Samsung after all. Just a thought.Even when I owned sammys, I pretty much never used ODIN myself.
[General Questions and Answers] BillClinternet:
The zip is too large to upload here, I can add it to a file hosting site if you'd like. Is there a way to extract a .tar? I will google as well to see what I find out.
[General Questions and Answers] :
[MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION], truth be told, I don't know how he got a .tar.

[MENTION=6296691]BillClinternet[/MENTION], would you Dropbox it?
[General Questions and Answers] Gokulbalram:
It fails that way too :/
[General Questions and Answers] BillClinternet:
Yes .tar is what you flash through ODIN. I'm not sure if there is another zip that I can download that as all of the files, but my zip only gives me the tar that i flash.
[General Questions and Answers] :
[MENTION=5231921]Gokulbalram[/MENTION], when you try to install the .apk by tapping on it, do you get a "There was a problem parsing the package" message?

[MENTION=6296691]BillClinternet[/MENTION], are you sure it's the right file that you're dealing with?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Okay. Please don't take this as gospel advice, because I am super unsure of this.

If it was me, I would guess that the file is in .tar because it is a Samsung app. That would make it flashable in ODIN.

Personally, I would do a nandroid and give it a shot. It might work, it might not (like i said, no odin expert)

There's no reason to expect to brick while using ODIN to flash. If it doesn't work, restore your backup, and wait for a better answer.
[General Questions and Answers] BillClinternet:
The file I am using is the .tar of the entire 4.4.4 rom. I downloaded it as a zip, unzipped and I am left with a .tar to flash to my phone via ODIN. I was told that I could simply unzip the file and flash just the clock app, but I was not sure if i could unzip the .tar.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I did see that, but it didn't click. I haven't exactly been sober the last few days. .tar files are just another type of .zip. open it up and look for your apk. Be advised though, although I'm not sure about this one, often system apks are named something that you won't recognize. If you can't find it in the unzipped, Google is your friend.

There are only a few files that show up after extraction. That is why I thought they were located on the boot image.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
It's in the system img. There is software to extract it, it should be under apps when opened. 7zip may work, but I doubt it. Google "ext4 extract" to find out how to get it if 7zip doesn't work.

"App not installed" bloody hell this is pissing me off. I just downloaded the game "Thomas was Alone" from Amazon's app store (free for the day) and as Amazon's store relies on the package manager to install apps, it directed me to the package manager and when I tried installing it I got the same error. Does this have something to do with ART incompatibility? Also, games like Injustice install and start, but they just crash after clicking play.

EDIT: I installed the old game NOVA 3 and that works well. So, I have a feeling this hasn't got anything to do with ART

That line is just the usage cycle. It tells you the dates to and from for the amount of data used during that period.

Restrict background data just keeps the app from using data in the background. It won't restrict the app while it is in use from using any more data, but it won't run in the background preventing notifications and such.

Subway surfers is a ram hog. If you're on 100% stock rom, try disabling or uninstalling some bloat ware. Check background processes. See if anything consuming more power than it should be.

Better yet go into dev setting and turn on "do not keep activities" and run the benchmark again.

That's about all I can suggest.
