Do you have the problem only with the one specific *.apk or can you install other apk's from file manager?

What app what app
What is the NAME of the app. Where did you get it from. You now are sounding like your looking for help installing a pirated app or moving it from another device. Please help us help you.

Never mind I just did a factory reset and flashed the stock busybox, rooted deodexed N8013 rom
And the app got installed

Problems with XDA app

Hello guys.
I'm having a problem with the XDA dev app. I have the official (free) version of it.
I got the app with the custom ROM I recently installed, but the problem is when I'm going to read threads in subforums, the application crashes.
That happens with any threads I'm trying to go to a thread.
So I saw a update for the app, but when I press "Update" in market and after a couple of seconds the installation fails. I says: "Package is not signed correctly" or something like that.
So I don't know what to do now
I want to read XDA Forum threads on my X10!
Please help me with this annoying problem.
Thanks,
Unistall with titanium and reinstall from market should sort it.

Ah, I manage to install the app now!
The problem was that I had installed Scamble (custom ROM) and had problem with my operator (could not call, or anything) because I didn't patch my baseband!
So now I have patched and everything works now, I can install the app without any problems!
Thank you guys for all the help,
Nice u got it up and running
Yeah
But I have another question I just take in this thread.
Where is my apps I download from Android Market? I have looked in the /system/app and /Data/App, nothing there.
So where can the apk files be?

System/app contains all the system apps.
Data/app contains all the apps that you have downloaded or installed.
You need something with right permission to see it. Astro or any other withouth root permission won't work. Try Root Explorer its worth rue money.

Unable to install app

Now this is the the same problem that I am having with lucky patcher like i had with titanium backup. For the info, I am not using this to bypass paid apps but basically to remove ads from free apps and change apps permission. When I opened lucky patcher I was informed of a new update, so I downloaded the update but got the "Out of space" notification.
For the life of me, I am not able to find the odex file and so I can delete it. I am therefore not able to install lucky patcher. Anyone had this problem before. Anyone know where the odex file of lucky patcher is located. Titanium backup has it in data/com.keramidas.titaniumBackup.
Patch itself and remove odex? Worth a try.

You meant you cannot install Titanium due to out of memory?

ihave same problem with other apps trugt that pacher. I cant find where program stores files. I think if we delete this folder its ok.
Please avoid discussing about that app here. I think there's one more soft/app which helps in removing permissions, can't remember its name though.

Out of space?

When I try to install an apk it says I'm out of space. I still have 3.7gb left there. However I was able to install an app from play store this morning!

Sounds silly, but did you reboot?
Go into data/app if there is any file related to the one you're trying to install delete it. That file maybe an apk or an odex file. You need to find it and delete it.

Did reboot. Still the same. And I couldn't find any file related to the app in system/app. I had this issue even on stock GB. I couldn't install anything after I reached 1gb. I also moved many apps to SD. But for no good

(Solved) P5113 system apps

I have a p5113, rooted with latest cwm recovery and latest official update 4.1.1. (stock)
When I look at system/apps every apk has a duplicate version .odex.
Why are there duplicates like that?
Second question is I have some apps I pushed to system before I updated and I still have them but are no longer in system/app, where else could they be?
Sorry if my questions are a little noobish, I'm familiar with Samsung and android phones but the tab is just a bit different.
Thanks

What did you use to root the 4.1.1?
Odin cwm recovery and then flashed SU zip in recovery. Here's the thread

Re: P5113 system apps
Anyone, please?
I realize the stock ROM isn't deodexed I just didn't realize that is showed the apk's in duplicate.
I'm still trying to find out where the apps from the market are installed.
Usually I would find them in /data/app but this isn't the case. Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks

Re: P5113 system apps
Apps are installed to /data/app and their data is in /data/data.
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------
The deal with odex files is more complicated. When you install an app, the apk installer reads the apk and creates an odex file. This file gives the OS certain info about the app. The problem is, the odex file contains some sort of checksum that will become invalid if even a tiny change is made to the apk. This poses a problem for any sort of theme, so a solution was found. Deodexed ROM's instead create an uncompiled .dex file that allows changing of the app and then move it to the dalvik-cache. If at boot you see the message, "optimizing app x of y" that's what it's doing.
Re: P5113 system apps
First let me say thanks for answering the question about odex so thoroughly. I'm not used to seeing that because I'm used to custom ROMs on my other devices.
Secondly, I looked in /data and there isn't anything there. That is where I first looked and was shocked to find it completely empty. ????

Re: P5113 system apps
/data can't be viewed unless you use a file manager with root access. Try the one included with ROM Toolbox.

Yeah I did, root browser is my fave root file app. I can see all the folders at root and push apps to /system/app but /data is completely empty. I'm thinking they must be somewhere else on stock (4.1.1). Any ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
4.1.1 stock here. /data/app and /data/data are populated as expected. (p3113)

This really has me curious now, I can't see why the file systems would be different. Did you update OTA or using kies?
Edit:this really had me racking my brain, I know that I should see folders in /data so I decided to try something. Using root browser from rom toolbox there is nothing in /data. I downloaded root browser lite from the market and everything is there in /data/app as would be expected. Its very weird because as I've stated before, I've used root browser from ROM toolbox to push system apps and set permissions etc.
