3. Then click on 'Development'

Then Install from the market 'Astro File Manager' , locate your APK and simply install it!

I think he means installing them from appbrain or getjar.com
Your tab doesn't let you use those settings under application? they should be there. O_O

you might have to load a euro rom on att tab

I'm surprised you don't have this option :s
But non market apps are .APK files. You can find them on xda or on the interwebz.

Problem parsing package

In trying to install the YouTube apk on my android tablet. There's a pre loaded YouTube app on it but I think its causing a problem. Every time I try to install it it says ' there was a problem parsing the package'. Can someone help?

Come on guys, this is preety general for an android problem. At least one person should have replied by now.

Do you have the logcat of what the Package Manager said?

That error is usually caused when the download isn't complete, I.e. the file is not proper...
That said, if you were sideloading the app, and you believe that you have the complete file (.apk), then you can uninstall the original app, and place the new app in system/app, give appropriate permissions and reboot...
You need root acces for the abobe, and the method in general is referred to as the root explorer method...

So I need to give it root access and then try to install the apk again but in the system app section? And to add there is this app on there called "video player" it basically functions like the Google YouTube app but not as good. But sometimes when I go to see the not-yet-installed YouTube apk on my SD card it has the "video player" icon. I don't have any problem with sideloading any other apk on there so could that be the problem?

For some reason some app doesnt work for me too, so i get problem parsing package . I used to have parsing package problem with flash player on my atrix4g then after some time i installed it and it worked good im not sure if its coz they fixed anything thro updates or it just coz i made some changes into my device i still can't download google books on it but my friend who has the same device and android version can. what im trying to say is you could try older versions of the app or if you really need it you can install custom rom , btw i can't install youtube either on my atrix i still work with an old version that came with the stock .

Generic youtube app provided by manufacturer causing OFFICIAL one to never install. *simplified*

How old is the atrix? Sounds strange if you cant even install google books. Maybe that could be a problem with the phone, not just older software.

Dude, format the memory card, and also wipe data from setting menu,
then,
reinstall ICS

If that's the only option I'd rather flash the Frankenstein rom and just read you shouldn't factory reset on ICS :/

Please read my post carefully, i told you to delete data in settings, not in CWM.

Okay problem solved. Flashed a fresh copy of ICS. The error was while restoring my apps via titanium I was also restoring the old gb play store. Working well.

Buddy. The Problem Pulley06 faced and urs might be because of the play store version u r using. U might have restored the play store u used in GB to ICS. Delete the play store apk. Grab a fresh copy of play store and push it to system/app. Delete data of existing play store from Settings->Applications before removing it.:good:

why would you need two of the same app as well as the same version? if you were to have a old version and try to install a newer version it would just update over the older one.

You can't have 2 apps on 1 device.. like Trozzul said if you download a new one that has a older version it just updates it.

I agree you can not install different versions of the same app new one will always replaces the old one

Couldn't you decompile the .apk then recompile the .apk under another package and project name?

I hav done that but after i recompile when i try to instal it says" there is a problem parsing the package.

I'd also like to be able to do this. The reason being that I can used the xposed module-per app dpi settings to have two different resolutions of the same app. A stock dpi for viewing on the phone, an oversized dpi for when connecting via mhl to a low resolution screen.
The note 2 forces 1080p out through mhl and the text is extremely small. The only workaround is to increase the dpi per app. I realize I could change the master dpi in the build.prop but that requires a reboot everytime.
Anyone made any progress on this?

I would like this privilege as well, on my n20 to make spamsung think I got his forced stock app version .hehe
I was checking titanium backup for some dual action possibilities, freezing stock system app then forced my own versions .hehe
