I'm working with a new b80 so its unrooted running stock rom 3.2 android hopefully a root will be out soon.
what happens: the package installer runs tells about it but install button is not clickable only cancel is
i have tried lots of apks. get the apk to the tf by any means sd or usb or hook it up and put it in there with windows
find it with a file manager and try to run it and the above happens
have also tried installing it with windows installers meant for phones with no luck
yes i have a check mark by allow unknown sources
yes i have tried several installers from the market
yes i have tried different file managers from the market too
get the same result
can you install apks on unrooted machines?
Does app from market install?
Shouldn't matter if you're rooted or not unless you're trying to install a system apk

yes market apps work just fine
Have you tried using the "install application" option in Asus Sync?
Can you tell us what app? Maybe it's not compatible or something. If you got it from a pirating site or any other site, it could probably be corrupt.
just got several aps ones that i havent been able to install any other way pirated and some that are not to install useing asus sync
It works great if anyone knows a work around i would still like to know just so i wouldnt have to be home to install apks
Thanks for your time guys
We have an app built into the system of a custom rom/hardware that allows the end-user to update various programs on the Android device. However, we have no way of updating the update program. If we do it normally by installing it like any other app, it gets reverted when the system is rebooted.
Is there a way to update a system APK without having to use adb push or have the end-user do anything special? I'd rather not have to send out a bunch of SD cards with firmware images and instruct each of them on how to update it. Is there some way we can sign the application so the Android OS knows it's a valid system app and not overwrite it?
I think this has been quite a weird situation for me. I recently upgraded to ICS using a custom rom(PA rom to be sure). I then saw some unusual behaviour in the cell. It didn't contained any useful apps apart from few basic apps such as browser and phone etc. (Not even market/Play store)
So, I first thought to install playstore. So I downloaded the market app and copied it to SD Card and thought to install it manually. Just then I got to know It aint got any file manager. So I thought to use ADB to install apk.
So I and installed it via adb. But I got this error:
adb install Market.apk
2097 KB/s (201370 bytes in 0.093s)
/sbin/sh: pm: not found

Since there isn't a way round to install the app, I would like you guys to give me ideas on the problem. I did tried lot of googling but nothing worked.
Also, I got one more major problem. My Volume Key is broken. Until today, I used ODIN to flash the rom. Then would use ADB to wipe data etc. But now ODIN wont recognize the cell. It is being shown in device manager as "Unknown Device".
I tried reinstalling samsung drivers, used windows automatic search to pick drivers, and all I could. But Device isn't being recognized in DOWNLOAD mode.
So I got a dummy phone into which I cant flash a rom, neither any app. Only internet and calls can be done for now. Can somebody help?
Hi,
I have recently seen a phone with HadesOs a custom rom and it only has few apps installed and the admin can remotely install or remove apps for clients.
Any ideas how thats done?
I managed to see there is a apk that might be related
DevicePolicyController-4.0.1-client-release.apk
Any ideas?
Cheers!
Hey guy's, I hope somebody can help me out here. I can't find any explanation on internet. I want to install an apk from the local storage on my Rog phone 5 ( android 12,un rooted) .
In the old days it was pretty simple, just a slide to activate the "allow unknown sources", click on the apk file and it would install. Now on the rog phone 5 in the apps¬ifications, special app-acces, install unknown apps it only shows a few apps that I can give permissions to install from unknown sources. Like Chrome, file manager, gmail, brave browser etc. ( see picture). So I give the file manager or brave the permission,restart the phone, go to the apk in the file manager but it won't install.
It will just show the contents of the apk. If I select the apk I can remove it, rename it, compress it, anything but install it.
I can choose open with brave but still nothing happens. I tried downloading an app in the playstore to install apk files but it won't even list the apk file. I have no clue why they made something that used to be so easy so complicated. So I hope somebody can enlighten me how to install an apk on this phone. Thanks in advance!
Have you enabled install unknown apps in developers options ? Special app access allows you to allow/not allow individual apps to install unknown apk files. I think you have to enable it in developer options for the native installer first. I may be wrong but it's worth checking.
I'll go check if the option is there and let you know. Tnx man.
The only thing I found was " force app allowance on external drive" and but it changed nothing.

you could try
Code:
adb shell settings put secure install_non_market_apps 1
adb shell settings put secure unknown_sources_default_reversed 1
that would be from terminal on pc or you could install settings database editor from play store and grant it permissions via adb and you will have gui to change system settings
Could you please walk me through how to do this? Tnx.

Ok, first I guess I need to ask some questions. Have you tried a different file manager, installed thru play store ? How many .apk files have you tried to install ? If it is just the one app that you have in storage it may be corrupt. Have you tried a fresh copy of it ? Is it an old app and is it compatible with your Android version ?
I don't know what I was thinking, that isn't in developer options anyway, it's in security. It would seem odd for them to remove the ability to install personal apk.
