[Q] Package installer won't work... can't press button

I just upgraded to cm7 and now sometimes when I try to install an app from an apk file it wont let me hit the install button.
If I am using Amazon appstore it works, the same type of screen comes up and I can install stuff. But when installing from a downloaded apk (like from here) the button just doesn't work... it isn't greyed out or anything but is simply unresponsive.

Hey I have this same problem, did you ever figure out this issue? Thanks!

Please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this issue, I'm having the same problem

Bump this
Problem persists on my phone as well. Brand new Droid X2 stock ROM rooted with zergrush kit including busybox, superuser, and recently installed: nobloat free, droidwall, SD Booster, blade buddy, spare parts+, and setcpu (which is pretty much useless without a custom ROM that has the kernel to support it)
Edit: make sure unknown sources is checked under app settings =]
Edit again: NOPE still a problem =[
Edit again: FIGURED IT OUT!!!! Simply turn off your screen filter! =D (I don't know why, but that WAS my problem 100%)

Hi all, I'm facing the same problem, but I don't have screen filter installed. What else have you tried?
Here's my main post about this.

I've also heard that Juice Defender can cause this problem. Sadly, like you, I still can't fix it on my phone!
Anyone?

AHA! I found mine! TEAM Battery Bar. It's a spectacular app; if you've not gotten it yet, I highly recommend it. I just turned it off within the app itself, (I checked running apps to give me a clue,) and the installer button worked.
After hearing about several display-related apps causing the problem, I looked for those on my phone. TEAM Battery Bar does indeed run a constant display item, so I think that's the key. I'll notify the dev. He's pretty responsive.

I can confirm: disabling TEAM Battery Bar solve the problem! thanks

Thanks, that fixed my problem on my Galaxy S2 with LPQ ICS rom. Probably should report it to the dev for fixing...

in my case Juice Defender was a problem, since I don't have any screen filters installed
uninstalling Juice Defender fixed my phone
EDIT Friend of mine has the same phone (SGS2) with the same ROM installed, JD never caused any problems with his phone
The only difference between my JD settings and his - I got brightness control enabled, so maybe that was a problem, not JD itself

I'm currently on SGS2 rooted stock LPQ and just figured it out myself that Screen Filter is actually doing something so that the install button cant be pressed. Has anyone informed the dev?
Edit: just mailed the dev of Screen Filter hoping for confirmation and fix

'Lux Auto Brightness' is causing the same issue, so seems that all the applications trying to adjust screen brightness will cause the issue.
By the moment I disable it, I am able again to install apks... really weird
Also, not clear why only the install button is effectively disabled, as cancel bitton works and the 'show all perms' drop down , also works

Good call! That was the exact app that was causing me problems as well. Here's hoping to a quick fix!

i encountered the same issue and after reading your post and searching hard on my n7000, i finally found what causes it...on my n7000 it was glove box. After uninstalling my phone is back to normal again

Thanks for all the infos, guys. For me, it was both Lux Auto Brightness and Twilight. I disabled them using task manager and everything went smoothly from that. Explains why no matter how much I reboot, it doesn't fix things. I also have avast Mobile Antivirus installed and it has a constant display notification but it doesn't cause any issues. I am guessing it has something to do with code wired to the phone's hardware? As all the apps causing problems had to do with overlapping device setting control over screen brightness or hue.

Xposed Framework + Gravitybox performance issues

Everyone who has this device should agree that it is flying, the S800 International version at least has had absolutely no stutter so far for me, however since using Gravitybox, the Xposed Module, there have been occasional slowdowns and even freezes where I cannot even scroll down a list. I love all CM-like functionality of Gravitybox but why does it slow this monster device down so much. Have it on my ASUS TF700 which is not that fast at all (Tegra 3) and it doesn't have a huge impact there?
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Can it be narrowed down to specific tweaks? I tried with transparency enabled and disabled, no noticeble difference, but turning the whole module off makes a very noticeble difference. Any ideas? Don't know if this is relevant but I have a N9005, rooted, has TWRP recovery installed and running Omega 3.1, I also installed a debloating zip that got rid of loads of apps I won't use anyway.

I have problems with xblast module, especifically with the status bar, it freezes the screen for about a minute, then "ui has stopped" messages, your problem is with gravity, but there must be some common factor with xblast, I guess

I also tried Wanam's Xposed module, same thing happens. Wanam's doesn't officially support the Note 3, although I've found many features to be working perfectly. This module also has the same slowing effect as Gravity Box. I don't actually know alot about how these modules work but here's what I think may be happening: The Xposed module is making it's various changes to the System UI, then something within the Samsung firmware changes it back, and then the Xposed module again changes it, and so on... So it's like the module is fighting with Samsung firmware for control, resulting in the slowdown. This is obviously pure speculation since I don't actually know much at all about this, if someone else does know, please correct me. Right now the only features I really want are: Hold Volume up/down for skip music track and XuiMod's module, I can do without theming or other fancy things such as pie controls.

I have xposed + wanam and I don't see a big slow down. I'm using an at&t rooted SM-900A with MI9 version. Seems that the problem is only happening on newer Samsung Roms.
Thanks I didn't update the software. I also didn't trip Knox because of this.

Xposed and wanam too on my N9005. Rooted on Mj7 I don't experience any perceiveable performance loss despite the phone being a little slow waking up or going to sleep. But I cannot tell if this was different without all this. I've added xposed 3 days after buying, so I don't recall if this was different completely stock.

It does say in the write up, that it's not play nice with Touch Wiz, as it's mainly for vanilla versions of android, perhaps you're having problems due to that very reason.

I'm using both wanam and gravity box to achieve what I want, but I expect zero lag or other problems! but: I'm using nova launcher instead of touch wiz, so it seems that that could be your trouble!
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

i'm not using wanam or gravity box. i use nova launcher as well. but what i have noticed is that once i install the xposed framework, it takes so freaking long to complete the bootup process. it seems like 5 to 7 minutes from power on until the last toast notification message from supersu appears. and if i uninstall xposed framework, the bootup process is extremely fast. once the bootup is complete with xposed, everything runs at normal speed though.
i haven't been able to find any mention of such problems anywhere. it is some consolation to see that it's not my imagination that xposed is causing some issues for others as well.

I'm using nova launcher with wanam and gravitybox and I have absolutely no lag besides a slight hickup when turning my screen on. I also have 80 extra apps and games. Maybe you folks have a defective note
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I open this for get an analysis for a evidences slow down performance on every note with stock Rom then I have.
test on note2, note3 and note4 get me rallenty result on boot (more time that normal to view desktop), on connection usb with pc (long time to recognize device, not depend on which OS), system app's booting 3-4 slow time that normal (rotate control, gear manager ecc). Ram saturation not change but showy lags on interface and switch to App's.
this is indipendent than Module (lastest test is without module's).
when I remove a framework all return normally.
I don't understand Why??

From the original gravitybox repo info:
Compatibility
- .....
- DOES NOT support devices running ROMs vastly modified by device manufacturers (HTC Sense, Samsung Touchwiz, MIUI, LeWa, Xperia, ...)
- SHOULD NOT be used with custom ROMs like CM, AOSPA, RootBox, SlimBean and others - it makes no sense since the most of the features are already
in the ROM (may cause conflicts and unexpected behaviour)
When you only need the resign of the buttons (like myself.. that was the only reason i used it) you find in the xposed download: xposed additions for remaping

Same problem.
Well, I had rooted and installed Xposed+Gravity on my friend's device and he too has reported lags on his device. My guess is, somehow the default framework and systemui aren't allowing the module to modify them, probably, that's why the problem. Also, I tried making GB and Xposed a system application and then wiping data+cache, but still, there was no noticeable change.
Interestingly, when I installed these modules separately, like advanced power menu, double tap to sleep, lollipop navigation bar etc, there was hardly any lag.
So, I think, taking GB out is the answer, but again, how many modules can we install for each function?
These are the modules I am using as a substitute:
APM+: http://repo.xposed.info/module/hk.kennethso168.xposed.apmplus
Flat Style Colored Bars: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.bocharov.xposed.fscb
DoubleTapToSleep: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.zst.xposed.doubletaptosleep
Lollipop Navigation Bar: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ash.androidlnavigationbar
Note: I disabled the stock launcher and using Apex Pro. Its small and eats lesser memory.
I hope it helps a bit.

[Q] Security Pattern/PIN disappeared

This morning I came into work and as I unlocked my phone it did NOT ask me for my pattern. I have a number of Xposed modules working, but none have been activated in the meantime of this happening. When I go to Security, my last option is still set, yet I'm not asked to enter any of the option whens unlocking the screen.
Anyone had anything like this happen? I really don't believe I've changed any settings between the security working and not working. This is very troublesome. I'll do a complete reinstall of everything if I have to, but I wanted to see if anyone has heard of this in the meantime.

Never happened here. Try to uninstall Xposed Framework then reboot and try again.

It's somewhere in the Xposed modules. When I uninstalled the framework, it asked right away for my PIN. I'll go back and see which module is giving me the problem. So far I have installed:
Blurred System UI
Burnt Toast
Chrome New Tab (Xposed)
Complete Action Plus
Gravity Box KK
Notification Count
Shaky
Shortcut in App Info
Unicon
YouTube AdAway
I know I changed a setting (I think in Gravity Box) that makes the lockscreen always require the slider. Then it would ask me for my security PIN or Pattern. But I've had then running for a few weeks now. Blurred System UI is a newer mod for me and I was trying out a Translucent mod for KK as well yesterday, but I uninstalled that.
We'll see. Might even go to the L Preview for a while. It worked great for me, but I missed the Xposed additions.
Thanks for the advice. Good call.

It seems it was Shaky that was causing the issue. I've uninstalled it and won't go back since I don't use it much.

After NJ4 Updated : Battery Life ,Performance &Any Problem On This Update Plz Post It

After NJ4 Updated : Battery Life ,Performance &Any Problem On This Update Plz Post It
Please Post What Are All The Problems You Are Facing On This Update I337UCUFNJ4 - 4.4.4 : Like Battery Life , Performance & Any Problem / Bug Please Post Here : :laugh:
And Screenshot Please : Notification Panel :angel: Because It Will Help-full For " Still Now , Who Are All In NI1 , NC1 Or NB1 " ...

1st let me say I had problems installing the OTA as I was still rooted and THOUGHT I was not as the last OTA installed after what I thought was un-rooting. So via Oden and an all in one flash I went back to NB1 this was a problem as well. Seems the USB cable I had grabbed off the desk was NOT the Samsung USB cable. It was a USB cable for a E-Cig I have and because it was white I thought it was the Samsung USB cable. So Oden failed, Kies failed and then I realized the cable problem and while the S4 was sitting waiting for the data I shut it off, found the Samsung cable, powered back on to the download/flash mode, connected the cable and Oden flashed the file. Whew, S4 now back in service I took the OTA to NJ4.
Battery life is good, I think, as it was on all day and I still had 60-70% battery life. About normal before all the goofing around.
Now - Problems
It seems to lag a bit using Apex Launcher when swiping from screen to screen.
Overall it seems to lag as well. All the Samsung bloat that I can live without has been frozen as well as all the AT&T bloat that I could freeze.
The Touch Lights are toggled to be always ON at one point they wouldn't light up even when touched. Rebooted S4 and they seem OK for the past 24 hrs.
My calendar notifications from Google Calendar apk (Blue Icon) seemed to clear on their own - watching this as I'm not sure I didn't clear them from the Tab S running same apk. Samsung calendar is Frozen, stock google calendar apk (Greeen Icon) has notifications turned off.
So....I'm thinking maybe I need to flash again with all the idiot mistakes I made getting it to NJ1

Battery life for me is the same. Didn't really make a difference with that. The systen seems snappier now though. Loads quicker and menus open faster.
The only problems I am having since the update are kinda annoying. When trying to organize appa into foldera, Touchwhiz crashes on me. Then I have to redo all the previous app moves before I was able to hit save. If I hit save then esit again it seems fine. Only seema to happen when I move more than 2 apps to a folder before hitting save.
Another thing is my phone constantly now says I havr no sim card and neess to restart. Never had this previois to the update but I do see this is a common problem on the S4.
I am going to reflash NJ4 and see if it happens still.

Battery life is same. my problem is not able to run xposed modules. as soon as i enable a xposed module, phone get stuck on reboot at at&t logo screen. anyone using xposed framework successfully with NJ1 build?

try "Protected Apps" module and let me know if you can reboot after installation/enabling of this module. this and Wanam Xposed are the ones that I can't use. phone refuses to go beyond at&t splash screen on boot.

[Q] GravityBox not working

I noticed that no matter how often I keep reinstalling XPosed and GravityBox I always get the error message that the GravityBox framework is not responding. Is this a Rom based issue or is there some way to fix this?
EDIT:// So I realized it is a Huawei general issue. I installed Xposed 2.5.1 (and changed ro.config.hwtheme to 0 in the build.prop). Now I am able to properly install GravityBox and run it. The problem now is if I for example activate PIE controls or change something from the status bar (and reboot) nothing changes. Even if I activate immersive mode for both sides only the nav bar disappears. Nothing else happens tho.
EDIT2:// So some functions do work. I can use the GravityBox nav bar (although it makes the recent app icon disappear) while some functions like the PIE control simply do not work. Is there some fix?
EDIT3:// Using the GravityBox Navbar the buttons only work on the Homescreen. As soon as you enter an app you have to restart the os in order to quit the app.

GravityBox works best with AOSP Roms and Roms that are very close to AOSP I think there is a mention in the app.
Quoting from the official repo that can be found here http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.kitkat.gravitybox
GravityBox is a module which primary goal is to provide the users of AOSP devices
with a tweak box to turn their vanilla AOSP ROM into custom ROM packed with additional features and tweaks
without need to flash anything. Most of the preferences can be changed on-the-fly without rebooting.

It's not Huawei's fault ,if you are trying to install an application and configure it, that is supposed to run in vanilla environment into a heavily customized ROM like EMUI and MIUI if we count XIAOMI too.

Give a try to Xblast Tools , does almost the same than GravityBox, and seems to be more compatible (at least for me).
Does everything I wanted from GB.
And don't post on GB thread, you will not be the welcome (Huawei rom, blablabla ... read the red warnings ... )

For some reason my XPosed installation doesnt work anymore. Tried reinstalling always shows that the Service isn't started. Only disabling rescource apis make it run. This emui stuff is really annoying. I'd love to have an aosp rom

Did you tried Xblast Tools ?

Yes I did it worked after installing XPosed 2.5.1. Though most of the stuff is heavily bugged while the rest doesn't even work. I guess we really need a vanilla rom. Honestly even GravityBox worked more with 2.5.1
