Lots of APK's not installing "App not installed" - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I try to install some of my older apk's from sd card I get "app not installed". I have unknown sources enabled. I am wondering are these apps most likely not compatible with 4.4? I am running ART, but when I switch back to Dalvik they still wont install. Has anyone else been running into this?

Hey ... I am also facing exact issue ..... Have you found any solution

No I haven't.

Can you be more specific about which apps and versions?
What version of Android were you using them on before KitKat?

I found a solutions, first of all use a root browser to locate and delete your data folder for the app you are trying to install, data/data/com.appname
once I did that I was able to manually install the apk's via adb
Im not sure but this may have had something to do with trying to install the apks with ART at first. Both the apps I was trying to install are not compatible with ART. I switched back to dalvik and did those steps and I was able to get them working.

Issues installing Apks

I was trying to install some games from my humble bundle app, and I came to the point of installing it but it seemed unable to. I could see all the permissions, but it wouldn't allow me to actually install the apps.
I tried downloading them from the website instead, same issue. I tried clearing the cache for the app, no good. Not sure what the issue is. I've got plenty of storage on my phone to install it. And yes, I do have the install from unknown sources checked, so that's not the issue either.
Has anybody else had a similar issue? Thanks
Very odd, I tried again today just to see what happened and the apk installed. I didn't change anything that I know of. So I'm still unsure of what caused the original problem.

App wont install

Hi. New version of Remote Play found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-t2929147[1]
Asks you to go into recovery and flash the zip. I had a working version of the app which was installed from a normal APK, and it worked fine. I uninstalled this APK and downloaded the new one and flashed it. It said it installed successfully however when I turn the phone on, the app isn't there. Not showing up in Settings -> Apps either. Wiped dalvik cache and still no luck.
Downloaded the old version where you install by APK and it tries install then says "App not installed". It's like its detected a newer version that I can't see.
Anybody have any idea how I can fix this?

[Q] Reinstall "Samsung Apps" possible?

Hey Guys,
i got a little Problem with "Samsung Apps" on my Galaxy s6 (Stock Rom Android 5.0.2).
I rooted it, and thougt i should delete some of the System Apps. I also removed "Samsung Apps" thinking i won't need it.
After i wanted to download some Camera features i got the error : "com.sec.android.app.samsungapps is disabled", but i can't enable it ( yeah, maybe beacause its gone)
So i tried reinstalling it, using the Apk from this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/hot-galaxy-s6-apps-t3041330
not functioning "Can't install the App"
also i tried getting the apk from the Stock "app" folder or "priv app" of the system dump, and copying the folders on my S6 device (to the same path)
http://zidroid.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-g920fxxu1aobn-system-dump/
still not able to reinstall. Reboot didn't change anything.
So last but not least, a factory reset didn't work either.
It has cleared everything and set the device to default settings etc, but "samsung Apps" is still not listed anywhere.
The question: does anyone have a clue how to reinstall it ? or do i have to download the Stock Image and flash it ?
Thanks for your time

I think the proper section for this would be the Q&A forum. Anyway, if you copy the app make sure to set the right permissions. In any case, if you flash a stock image over the one you have now, the problem should be solved. If it's not solved, a factory reset after that should fix it.

Ok thanks for the hint with the permissions.
I used der folder /system/priv-app/
and copied the Galaxy_Apps_3xh_zero.apk to my S6 path.
installing still wasn't working after setting the permissions ro rw-r-r- (like the other working apps)
i'm not sure, but i think it's something like an autostart path, so rebooting the phone after these steps, fixed my problem.
thread can be closed or whatever

Head unit wont install APKs

So I unfortunately have a unit with crappy wifi and bluetooth hardware that only works 10% of the time. I have sound a hopeful solution here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78204931&postcount=70
the problem is it seems to need a rooted device to run those scripts. So I have been trying to update my device to the Hal9k or malaysk ROMS. My device wont install the ModInstaller.apk no matter what I try. I click install and it just show package installer in the top bar for a sec then goes away and does nothing. I made sure the apps had access to install apks, I have tried moving it into data/apps. I jsut can get the unit to install the APKs to backup and install a new ROM. If I try to run the rom updater from sd and not with the apk backup it gives me an error: 21. not sure if either are related.
Or if someone knows a way i can run a script from the above url fix without updating a whole new rom and just whitelisting it would be so happy! I just want wifi and bluetooth
Please help
Thanks!
Still no luck,
any help?

How was your device determined to actually be an MTC(D/E) device?
These are the settings from my system. I have sense upgraded the firmware to the newest version i could find, I think it was 2.94 XRC.
This post is also the same issue as me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...e-xrc-v2-941-px5-wifi-bluetooth-wake-t3871755
No one else has had issues installing APKs before?
Is install enabled in factory options
Yup, now I feel silly, looked through all the settings and install apps was OFF in the factory settings. Thanks for the help, didn't even know to check there. I was able to update to hal9k and hopefully the script fixes the bluetooth and wireless issues.

Galaxy S5 DUOS Android 6.0.1 Google Services Framework Stopping

Hello Everyone!
All of a sudden today my trusty old Galaxy S5 DUOS phone started throwing the Google Services Framework has stopped error.
I have tried all guides I've been able to find on this and it says to go in under the App settings and clear all the data, but when I try this it crashes.
I can't get into the Play Store to check for updates either.
Is there a way to fix this? Update framework and store by a TWRP flashable zip or something like that?
Any help that you can offer would be much appreciated!
I could try to backup everything and then flash with Lineage OS or something similar in the way of a more modern OS but I can't say I'm crazy about the idea. It would take a VERY long time to do so the best thing would be if one could "just" fix the problem at hand without needing a full reinstall.
The phone is rooted with SuperSU and has TWRP recovery installed on it.

Did you use root permissions to remove or disable any system apps? If so, you may have disabled/uninstalled a system app that relies on Google Services to work, this would cause the "Services framework has stopped" error. Re-enabling or reinstalling the app or apps would fix the issue.
But....
First, try booting into TWRP then select the "Wipe" option, then select "advanced wipe", then select ONLY the cache partition and the dalvik cache, then swipe the slider to initiate the wipe. When you reboot the device, try seeing if you can use Playstore to update your Google apps, you may have to update more than one of them.
If that doesn't work, you can try downloading the most up to date Gapps.zip for your specific architecture and flash it in TWRP, wipe cache partition and dalvik partition(DO NOT FACTORY RESET IN TWRP) after flashing the Gapps.zip then reboot into system.
If that doesn't work, you may have to flash your stock firmware, this will remove root and TWRP, you'd have to root the device again and install TWRP again. If you flash the firmware, make sure to use the HOME CSC to preserve your user data during the flash.

Thank you very much for the suggestion, but I tried all of it and it did nothing to help the situation. HOWEVER, I started looking at DeGoogling the phone and putting in MicroG instead, and one of the steps in the process was putting in Magisk (instead of SuperSu) ...
When I got to removing the Xposed Framework ... and rebooted the phone, it optimized all the apps on the phone, and then.... booted, no crashing Google Play Framework anymore, I could run Play Store and update my apps - everything....
SO.... Xposed Framework caused the Google Play Framework to crash constantly (all of a sudden)??

Thank you very much for the in-depth and very helpful instructions on how to get the phone working again, however as you can see in the reply further down I managed to get it back to working properly again by... as I understand it -- removing SuperSU and the Xposed Framework.
After I did this and rebooted the phone it started optimizing all the apps of the phone and then ... everything worked as normal again. But I have printed out the instructions/suggestions you gave me for future reference if I happen upon something similar. So once again Thank You very much!

You should be able to have root and Xposed and use the device without issues. There is a way to make it all work together, you just need to figure out exactly why the issue was occurring.
Everything seems to be rock solid right now after uninstalling Xposed Framework (same thing happening on my mom's Samsung Tab S which also had Xposed Framework installed)... I used it mainly to remove the ads on Youtube, and since Youtube Vanced came into existence.... I don't really need Xposed anymore. So all is good
