This is the error I'm getting when trying to install some apks. A lot of others worked but some just won't. It's a new phone and a fresh ROM. Why is this happening? What do I do about it?

What is the name of the app? Did you downloaded it from Play or was it an apk file? Info please

One of the apps which did it was Battery Widget Reborn. I initially tried installing it via .apk and got the error. Then the same app normally installed via Play store.

Did you enable allow apps from unknown sources? Sideloading is disallowed by default.

Got a few apps from a friend, since I had no internet access (no data plan and no wifi) at the moment.

The same app installed from Play Store, works. What do you mean by setting the permissions?

Not trying to be snarky, but what good is a smartphone without internet access? Sounds like a $400 paperweight. Are you running a virus scanner that could possibly be blocking sideloading?

I'm having a similar issue. I've been using a slingplayer app that I downloaded over two years ago. I had it working on my Nexus 5 until I switched to ART. After the switch it wouldn't install. I switched back to Dalvik and now it won't reinstall. I can and have installed every other apk on my phone with no problem since switching back except for this one. Any suggestions?

Tried that and it didn't work, but...
PROBLEM SOLVED! What I did was to do a thorough search inside my root to find anything related to the app I was trying to install. I found out that the app has somewhat partially installed in few places. I then deleted all of those and tried installing again. Worked.

I also tried switching between Dalvik and ART but it didn't seem to change anything. I suggest you search your root for any remnants of the app you want to install. Look in data/app, data/app-lib, data/data and system/app.

Like title, is possible to block ads in Nexus 5? I try AdAway and it didn't work..
Ad away works here just fine. Blocking ads in apps and websites. Make sure that you're using the 2.8 Version. It may have a error on the first time you apply it but do it again and the problem will go away.

Try "Forget" permissions in SuperSu and apply AdAway to host files again.

It's not working. It may need to be updated, but i'm not seeing anything mentioned on their forum or blog yet.
I keep getting stuck on it when it tries to apply the host files. Not sure what the issue is.
Edit: Got it to work now. Preciate' the tips previously posted.

Mother of all AD Blocking
I have been using the "Mother of all AD Blocking" from here and have been very satisfied. AFAIK it only modifies the hosts file and doesn't have any process running that uses battery.
It's got a web server running... Has to be using some battery.

This is misleading at best. AdAway does have a service, but it's disabled by default and not required at all.
i tried to search for the apk itself but no luck. I found the one in switch you have to place the folders in the systems part but I cant seems to get it to work. If you have a direct apk, i'd appreciate it.

No. Being that it is a Samsung app, the frame work and such should match, allowing it to be installed easily.

Yes, but not always. Sometimes app permissions are not automatically configured, and a lot of the Samsung apps are meant to be installed as system apps, or they will not work. Unfortunately, without root, there's not much we can do about that.

Mine works fine with whatsapp, seems strange he would have a problem, the only time I have ever seen an issue with installing apps is when you already have it installed and trying to install an apk (even if it is a new version)
You could try under security enabling Unknown sources and see if that works.

There is about 100 reasons it won't install from the play store. Anything from no storage, to a corrupt download, to an issue with the data partition.
These things happen, but with no further information from the OP went do anything to help.

Today I decided to go back to stock. And so I did and the i rooted.
But i inatalled GMusicFS and it says i don't have root, even having SuperSU and other APPs say I have. Can anybody help me with that?
Personally I think it's an issue with the app. It does not appear it's been updated for marshmallow.

Well you're updated.
I don't see anything else you might do.
The common solutions are try another card (formated to extFAT), try the card in another phone and factory reset.
