Hello devs.
I have a question,why the built-in apk installer doesn't work,while there is running app,which has system overlayed window?
Good example is "Screen filter". If you start it to dim your screen,the Install button doesn't work anymore. The same issue is with my own app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935613
Started issue on JB,on GB it works correctly.
What should I do in case of prevention while development apps?
I have the same problem on GB. whenever I use night mode app then the install button doesn't work and the I have to deactivate it to install the app. I didn't knew others had this problem too!

Hello,
When I try to install an apk-file, I can't push the install-button. I found solutions like 'delete screenfilter' or 'uninstall lux,' but I don't have such applications. I also checked 'unknown sources.'
(The previous time I had this problem, I dissabled the 'keep screen on' option in Solid Explorer; that fixed the problem.)
Is there someone with a solution for this problem?

i had exactly the same issue on a few ocassions and every time it was solved by disabling the scree filter or un ticking the 'keep screen on' option like you've mentioned . Try clearing the cache of package installer too if you haven't already
if you are using paranoid android with halo, you need to disable halo when installing apks.
Had the same problem !! .. Disable holo and install app works like a charm !

Just to add "droidmote" will cause this as well.
What if i may found another solustion?
Hello guys i had exactly the same problem with my sony xperia neo v on Touchwiz nature UX 2.0 V3. When i firstly booted into rom i installed a backuped apk it was cpu-z. I installed it. As a walkman app lover i found a way to install walkman. Also tried to install stock samsung keyboard from cwm without any results. I flashed also the xperia z keyboard. So much modding for a new rom . I tried to install my other apks but i had the problem. Rebooted but nothing. What I did? I saw you said about holo and screen filter apps. Then i went to see if i had any installed because in options i saw something named like that. I came up with the idea to clear the data of package installer, and then tried to install again. Everything works wonder now!
Thanks for the contributions here, this was really helpful. I was trying to install the Amazon Instant Video app and had this same thing. I had the Twilight app running but forgot about it. Disabled it, app installed fine! Thanks so much!
talkback
i found out that talkback may also be the problem
Maybe you are using a custom theme?
Suspicious! For me, Facebook messenger was doing it. First it blocked Tasker app and then it blocked me from giving accessibility permissions to it. What is Mark upto?!
I have the same problem from some time it's not by Facebook, come on!
I have no single app conneced with Facebook and have the same problem. But I do have a screen warming filter, and also option'keep the screen on' in Car Launcher settings. will try to disable them.
But I can press the Cancel button on the APK installer. Just when I press Install- nothing happens...
Very weird.
[Edit]
I disabled Bluelight Filter and everything got back to normal. Installing working fine again.
Folks,
I'm completely in love with this device (P905).
However, there are some apps that are meant to use with phones, that will change their orientation (to portrait) and stretch to use the whole screen.
So everything is stretched out and completely unusable/ugly.
I have already disabled the auto orientation... and this problem still stands. I have tried to run these apps in windowed mode, but no luck.
So, any tips on how to force orientation on a single app?
A few apps that have this behavior: Connectbot, ESPN Score Center, UFC TV come to mind.
My tab is rooted, I'm running Wanam Xposed.
Thanks.
Try "Ultimate Rotation Control" in the app store. It allows per application rotation settings.
You may experience crashes when forcing some applications though forcing you to hard reboot the device.

Hey all. I've noticed since installing 5.0 on my Nexus 5, I can no longer install non-market apps such as the Amazon App Store, T-Mobile VVM, etc. Now, before I get a slew of replies about ticking the "install non-market apps" button, I've done that already. I've even factory reset the phone. When I try to install them, it's like the install button is unresponsive. Is anybody else having this problem? I could really use some help here, as I've lost Swiftkey, Swype, and a number of other apps due to this problem. Thanks in advance.
What are you using to download the apps? Have you tried clearing the cache in the package installer app? I can install my non market apps. So not a lollipop wide issue...but then there looks to be lots of issues that are only affecting some users so who knows.

Are you using some kind of screen dimmer app? Those apps use an overlay that interferes with the install button.

Exactly the same.
No issues with KK and unknown sources etc are allowed and yet with a root permission file manager etc I can no longer install apps. For example even Whatsapp PLUS when it updates and downloads a new version will start of the installation routine but I get as far as selecting install or cancel and the install button in not selectable. Manu ally installing the apk will result in the same thing happening.
Vanilla clean install of Lollipop and fully rooted and working. Rebooted etc still the same.
But take a look at....

Sure enough, that was the issue. Thanks a bunch! Still, what an odd occurrence....

How on earth did you ever figure that out?
Anyway thanks a ton. I am using twilight on kk and this has been bugging me a lot.
... not necessarily with the app "autostarts". here's my situation, fit a long time now I have had autostarts and startup manager installed with no conflicts out issues. I was also using clean master which was also fine, up until a little while ago when clean master introduced it's own autostart feature. at one point I mistakenly hit the boost button and it automatically blocked all my apps from autostarting. after that periodically my running apps (like tasker, lmt launcher, glovebox, lightflow, battery widget reborn, etc) would close down. at first it would only happen after an update to clean master, but kept getting worse and worse, like each time I'd unlock my phone. went into autostarts and enabled all apps one by one to autostart. uninstalled autostarts and startup manager as I figured they were causing conflicts. was fine again for a while until I launched clean master. I'd like to be able to use clean master but not if it makes my phone unusable. any help please.

Hi,i have installed oplauncher using magisk and its been installed successfully but whatever 3rd party launcher i use in stock samsung rom or beyond rom etc other than asop rom i get this wierd problem.whenever i close an app and open other app the screen slickers a sec and launching the app. i've done some googling and what i got is only samsungs one ui got this problem because some said the stock launcher is tied with the gesture navigations. is there any magisk modules or any other root method can solve my problem?
if you wait for a second on home screen after closing an app then this issue won't happen. But as soon as you closed an app and touch the screen home screen flashes for once.

Interesting. Then best to use stock launcher in OneUI roms.
My S10e model G870U does not have this problem, using free version of Apex Launcher Classic on stock Samsung OS (OneUI 2.1).
