Hi! I've a problem with my xperia mini with CM 9.1 and Mesa Hybrid Kernel 4.4. If i make a call and approach the phone at my head, the screen doesn't turn black.

I tested the proximity sensor with ad app and the sensor works (also in calls) only if i put the phone brutally in vertical position in front of a surface.

I tried to solve whit the help of this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933290, but nothing. The strange thing is that i must modify the values two times. I've two equal blocks "val cycle=0" etc.

How can i solve this problem? :confused:

Thanks in advance for the answers :o

Hi. I was wondering if it was possible to pair my watch via Bluetooth with the phone. Because it isn't officially supported although there is a thread which has an app that can let any 4.3 and above device connect to the watches and use their functions. I am running ViMiRo ROM at the moment. Please help. I am new to this. :D

Since I realized you *can* downgrade your apps (install lower version over actual (higher) version of app) using android feature "pm install -r -d file.apk" yesterday, I got time and wrote small and simple app which does everything for you. Just pick APK and click on Install APK. That's it!

With or without this app you can't install app which requires 4.1 on device with 4.0.

[Android Apps and Games] client-x:
Is Google play suggesting to upgrade your downgraded app or it doesn't realize that app was downgraded?
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Google Play will suggest upgrading. You essentially just installed an older version of the app in all terms.

You could achieve similar function by backing up your data, deleting the app, re-installing an older version, restoring your data. Obviously it would be longer, though. :)

The last item is "Android App developer replies". Here is the list:

Trademark or copyright infringement

Malicious or inappropriate Android apps

Inappropriate or problematic music

Android App developer replies

I thought it would be "trademark or copyright infringement" but that looks like a form for the copyright owner to fill out.

I selected Malicious or inappropriate and then linked this post in the explanation.

I never have problems with anything like this except when I activate a phone with a Georgian SIM card. If I activate with my T-Mobile USA sim card, then I can access most apps and services. I will often download apps from my phone and install them for Georgian friends that cannot download them from google play. The only thing I have seen that I cannot use is Location Reporting where it says "Not available in Georgia"

You cant pick APK because you have no app to do it. Download and install any file manager (I prefer ES File Explorer, Total Commander, ..) They it will works (but you still need root..)

AppDowner didn't work, & turns out I didn't need it.

On a Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1.2, ​I tried to use this to revert an app (Aldiko e-book reader 3.0.6 to 3.0.4). When clicking to revert, it immediately said "Complete" but did nothing - Aldiko was still version 3.0.6. I ended up just clicking the APK file directly & installing, which even told me that it would preserve program data, which it did. Opened Aldiko and program is now the old version. A) This program doesn't seem to work & B) There's no need to use it (at least in this case).:confused:

I can't speak to your authentication issue, but I was able to get 3.2.1 working by uninstalling updates from Settings ->Apps -> Google Play Newsstand, then I downloaded an old 3.2.1 apk (Google "[APK] Google Play Newsstand Updated to 3.2.1"), installed it, and it worked!

Hello, and thank you for your application.

I'm sorry for my English.

I'm testing the application using Mirek190's ROM to install the e-mail applications, and address book, version 4.1 of Android.

When installed, it reports that the installation was successful, but does not work, does not install anything and does not change the version 5 version 4.1.

What am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] drgkt:
I am confused.

So, I am asking since never tried:

If I have old.apk, tap on it and choose to install via package installer (while new.apk is still installed) it will be DENIED?

And

if not

, what is the purpose of this app?

p.s. old.apk and new.apk refer to an old version and new version of the same app.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
This app will let you install oldversion.apk without having to uninstall newversion.apk first.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

@pyler,

Thank you for this great app. It's worked on Android KitKat and Lollipop for me, but not Marshmallow.

Has something changed in Marshmallow to make AppDowngrader not work?
[Android Apps and Games] drgkt:
1. Without this app, if someone tries to install (via package installer) oldversion.apk while newversion.apk is installed, the android OS will ask to uninstall newversion.apk before proceeding?

2. With this app, will I end up having both versions installed?

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
1. Yes, you will have to uninstall newversion.apk first to install oldversion.apk, so you could lose settings. I use AppDowngrader when I don't want to risk losing app settings by uninstalling newversion.apk.

2. No, you cannot have two versions of the same apk installed at the same time. AppDowngrader installs the oldversion.apk without you having to uninstall newversion.apk manually first, but the end result is oldversion.apk gets installed and newversion.apk is removed/not installed.

Remember, AppDowngrader app requires root.
[Android Apps and Games] drgkt:
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
[Android Apps and Games] pyler:
you cant downgrade app to version without permission model if newer version supports permisison model.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
I just tried to downgrade Nova Launcher app version 5, beta 9 to beta 8 as a test. AppDowngrader shows "Successfully installed", but beta 9 is still installed. Tried twice. This is with a Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM.

Hello and thanks for this app. I have just been forced to move onto Android 6.x and the app no longer works if I select the app from my external SD card.

Why is there no app like these for android oreo version?
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
I am wondering what is not working for you? You might want to try looking at the root-required command line shown in the first post in this thread and see if you can use it in a terminal app on your device.
[Android Apps and Games] pratyush28:
Terminal says error can't open non-file. And the downgrader app instantaneously says installed successfully even though it didn't install . this is why i was asking whether any downgrader app exists which supports android oreo.
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Interesting. According to this page <https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#pm>, the pm command continues to support the needed parameters. What was the path you supplied to the end of the pm command?
[Android Apps and Games] pratyush28:
Earlier my bad i did not insert path but now after i did, it sasys [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Just to be sure, you did include the full command with both switches -r and -d? If so, I would have to conclude that the pm command in the latest Android have been crippled. This would seem odd to me. But other Android changes often seem odd to me.
[Android Apps and Games] pratyush28:
Yes i double checked that i used - d after i read that its the command which allows downgrade but sadly it doesent work.
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
in a rooted terminal window can you execute the pm command (with nothing else)? This should produce a help listing. And then post the results here? On a 5.1 device, it clearly shows it supports downgrade. I would hope that if it does no longer do so, they would at least have updated the help.
[Android Apps and Games] pratyush28:
it shows allow downgrade (debuggable packages only) Now what does a debuggable package mean :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Well that is definitely different and, I believe, explains this. I would suspect that debuggable package means that the app is built to be debugged by the developer. It is different from a released package which is what you usually get/install. Seems that Android, in its infinite wisdom and borderline mystical ways, has broken yet more long used mechanisms. Yet another reason to not use Android 8+, I guess. But then I still use mostly KitKat and will stay that way as long as possible. Sorry could not help here. But have at least learned something. Cheers

[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Please take a look at the previous posts on this page. It may well be that your version of Android removed/crippled the command needed to do this. If so, you are out of luck. Another "valuable" new Android "feature".
