Delete the corresponding folder in /data/data and wipe cache/dalvik. One of those will fix it.

Are you using ART? if so, switch back to dalvik and try to install it, then go back to ART.
Also, here there are some more directories where you can clean leftovers for apps
Look in those you haven't yet.
1: SDcard
2: SDcard/android/data
3: Cache/dalvik-cache
4: Data/app
5: Data/app-asec
6: Data/app-lib
7: Data/dalvik-cache
8: Data/data

Older versions of MX Player did not work with ART but 1.7.26 certainly does

Have you had it installed before or is this the first time for the app on your phone?

I was also got same error. It was solved by re-copying the file from pc to mobile.

What he means is that the apk you are installing might be corrupted. So, you need to delete it from your phone and transfer it again from the original source where you got it from

I upgraded to MX Pro in August, 2013, so i've used MX on Nexus 4, 7 and 5. Android updates broke MX at least twice and when I got my N5 it was broken. It was about a month before the app was upgraded to work on KitKat.

If you paid for the app....you can always install it from play store. Even if you have a new Google account, just log in your old account and use it for apps you purchased. Just don't sync the old account.
If you didn't buy it.....then good luck.

Have you tried going to the app in app manager and clearing data and cache. If that doesn't do anything you could use a file explorer program to delete it from /system/app folder and then download it from play store.

Programs like root explorer will let you delete it. You have to select the r/w option though because /system is r/o by default.

Are you able to download other stuff from store or do you get the same error with other apps. I know nova isn't supported on our devices so maybe play store is just blocking it. Do you have the apk of the new version. You could try just copy and paste into you system app folder.

well it downloads angry birds. and i thought if an app wasnt supported on a certain device it didnt show up. bc i was running it before and the only problem i came across was that it wouldnt update.
ill try to paste the APK into the system/app folder....
[edit]
i rebooted my phone, this time after the loading screen, it said "Android is upgrading/updating" i dont remember which.... but Nova launcher keeps crashing.... trying to run the beta.... it wont start.
You could try and do the fix permissions option in recovery to maybe give it the right permissions. It might need a certain access level. Also it might have to be in /data/app for market to recognize it. Seems weird though that it's giving you so much trouble. I looked it up on my phone and it shows me the app but has the black bar that says "your device is not supported" in place of the download option. It would be nice if all apps just worked the way you wanted them to.

My wifes phone had that same issue. Everytime she took a video or picture she would have to unmount and remount the sd card for gallery to show it, and that only worked sometimes. She has never rooted and was just using the provided 8gb sd card. I bought her a new 16 gb class 10 from best buy for 20 bucks and she hasn't had the problem since.

[Q] [Solved] New Google Camera can't update

I saw that there's a new camera update available, and I tried to install it from the play store, but it gives me an error saying there's something wrong with the signature and refuses to install. I found an apk elsewhere and tried to install from that, but again, it would be give the an error message saying "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
I went to settings->apps->camera and cleared data, force stop, disable, etc, but nothing worked. I was using Jishnu's camera mod, but about a month ago, my camera app stopped working. I did flash it back to stock 4.4.2 found in Jishnu's thread, but still no luck. I even tried to uninstall camera using Titanium, but it couldn't find the apk.
Any ideas?
EDIT
Solved!
See post #6
Thanks!
Delete the old camera app using a file explorer. It'll be in /system/app/, /data/app/ or maybe even /system/priv-app/

I'm using ES File Explorer with root enabled, but it won't let me delete the GoogleCamera.apk. It says "Read-only file system". Permissions for the file is rw- r-- r--, and won't allow me to change anything about the file at all.

I downloaded the camera apk from that thread, but still no luck. With the originall GoogleCamera.apk deleted, now I just get a non-specific error saying "Application was not installed"
How I fixed it:
Delete GoogleCamera.apk in /system/apps
Flash the 4.4.2 camera restore found in Jishnu's thread
Camera should work now
Update camera
???
Profit!
Link please
I'm having this exact same problem. I'm running Omnirom, so I thought it was related to that.
Could you please link to the thread you are referring to?

Yeah, really weird!
I couldn't get it to work with any combination of methods. Update from store, update with apk, uninstall and reinstall from store or with apk, nothing!
And today, as i was going to demonstrate to a friend how the update fails, all of a sudden the installation went through! I had downloaded the apk from AndroidPolice and merely went to install it (which had failed about ten times before!) and it worked!
I have no idea what changed, but I'm happy now. Loving the new UI. Simpler, and the new features rock. Just waiting for all the old ones to be brought back.
Battery drain sucks, tho...
how did you fixed it plz tell me

Google Play Sore Error (-505) -- Lollipop

After updating to Lollipop on my Nexus 5, it restored all of my apps except for about 10. One of them is a widget that I use everyday called Simple Calendar Widget by MYCOLORSCREEN. When trying to download the app, it gives me the message "Unknown error code during application install: -505". It seems to download fine, but the message pops up during the install process. Anybody know about this issue or experiencing the same thing if you try to download this application? I also tried downloading the apk file online but that also fails to install. I can't find any info regarding this issue. Thanks.
I had this issue on certain apps as well. The dev of those apps needed to change something for it to work on Lollipop.

Code 505 is a permissions code. This typically means that the APK file already exists in your /data/app folder. You'll need to locate the APK files in question in the /data/app folder and remove them. You will need root to perform this action.
You came across this problem because you didn't do a wipe of your userdata partition when you jumped from Kitkat to Lollipop. I encountered the same issue because of that reason. I just ended up wiping and starting fresh as my phone hadn't been wiped since I got the device last November.

Are you sure? I flashed the factory image of Lollipop on my phone and it wiped everything. Afterwards, I had to also do a factory reset of my phone from the settings due to a storage issue. Why would that get left behind?
Edit: I checked (phone is rooted) and the app isn't in the /data/app folder

I spent an hour combing through Google group threads trying to get a real answer to this outstanding question. I was perplexed that only two applications of mine refused to install due to this error. The consensus was that the APK file was still there, or some remnants of data related to the application remained on the device that the Play Store service didn't like.
I ended up wiping my device twice:
Once by flashing both the userdata.img and cache.img files, which ended up giving me the storage issue bug on Lollipop. (Showing 16GB instead of 32GB)
Second by performing a factory reset from within the booted OS, which resolved the storage issue.
After that, everything was good to go. Have yet to encounter this error code again.

as long as you have adb working it can be anywhere as long as you know the path
so adb install c:\path\to\file.apk
as it happens with terminal emulator i could download the apk seperately, with other apps i'd probably download on my tablet and pull it off that

I had this issue trying to install Rom Toolbox. I uninstalled Terminal Emulator and the issue went away, probably because Terminal Emulator is included in Rom Toolbox.
How I solved it
In bootloader mode I flash from the factory image userdata and cache, then I wipe Dalvik, data and cache in TWRP after the first boot I skip the setup just too full factory data reset, in the second boot, I set up everything normal, but instead of restoring from previous devices I set it up as a new device, then I manually download the app that was giving the error, it installed without a problem.
I know is a little too much for an app, but it works for me.

I know, that's why you can't install jackpal terminal emulator if you have ROM toolbox installed as it uses the same permissions.
Although you should read up yourself because if you did, you'd know the terminal emulator in rom toolbox force closes on lollipop on the nexus 5.
I understand this is a old thread but I fixed it a way that wasn't mentioned in this thread. Just thought I'd share for anyone googling this issue and finding this. What I did was go into the guest account and uninstall the app that was causing the issue such as snapchat. The way I caused it in the first place was installing snapchat on aptoide which installed it on both my account and the guest account and I decided I didn't want snapchat anymore so I uninstalled it but it was still there on the guest account which caused the error 505 whenever I tried to reinstall snapchat.

you can't install apps that have been signed by a different developer, and replace with the current one. metaphor, you have a girlfriend, but your trying to get another girl who looks, and smells like your current girl, but her name is different. Since your in a beta OS, you can definitely expect bugs.
have you tried Factory data reset? there may be residual files from previous OS.

If you have secure boot on disable it, restart your phone, try Again. Worked for me couple times
It's a vice versa situation. If your secure boot is on then disable it else vice versa. And reboot your phone and then install the app. It will surely install. Its not like you've a girlfriend situation?

have you tried Factory data reset? there may be residual files from previous OS.

Go to settings-lock screen and security-and scroll till you see secure start up. If it's on disable it. Restart your phone and try to install again.

Reboot your phone and as soon as it starts up try to install it
I'm pretty sure you just can't, the only way to do it it's through root... unfortunately

Are you sure you solve the problem?
Clear cache partition in recovery helped with this issue.

Didn't say I was solving it... just saying facts
not resolved problem
I use ESFile Explorer to copy the new APK into the folder where the old APK is located - firstly delete the old app then replace with the new app (ensure the same name is used). Some apps are hard to find so I use BKDisabler to find the exact path of the APK I want to replace.
It worked for me as I replace the Device Maintenance App on my S8+ with a newer version off APKMirror
If still having issues, the method below may work too:
TAKE A BACKUP FIRST IN CASE IT GOES TITSUP
Download AromaFM here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108&page=2 ((its a file manager that doesnt install on the phone, just runs in recovery)
Download the APK to are trying to update and put it either on an sd card or in the download folder on your phone: You will need to know where the current APK is located on your phone (usually apps are located in /data/app or /system/priv-app/ or system/app/ before going to the next step...... so for this example the APK is located in /system/priv-app/camera)
Reboot into TWRP Recovery
Install AromaFM
Go to your downloaded APK and either cut or copy it
Then navigate to the /system/priv-app/camera folder and delete the old APK then paste the new APK
Reboot
Now you should have the updated APK installed
Guys, what are you trying to solve here, he didn't even state which apk he is trying to install....
