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.

Hello,
First off, I would like to apologize if I am posting this in the wrong thread as I am new to this site. I have always searched this site for answers to questions I have had in the past, but have never had the need to ask for help. However, today is an exception. Every time I try to install this app, I get the error "App not installed". I have read up on this issue and it is caused by a previous installation of the application leaving leftovers behind (the weird thing is that sometimes I get this error for apps that I have never installed before). For the majority of the apps I have had this problem with, I was able to simply navigate to /data/data on my rooted HTC One M8 and delete the folder associated with the app. However, this didn't work with a few apps I have tried recently. I then installed "ZipSigner" and signed the application and tried installing it that way, this way only worked for one of my apps. I'm stuck with this one app though that I can't seem to install. I have already tried making it a system app; however when I reboot and try to load the app, it gives me the application crashed error every time. I have luckypatcher installed also and I tried to install the app from luckypatcher but it also hints that there are leftovers (but I have never installed this app before lol). So idk what to do. I will not do a factory reset because this app isn't worth the time, but I really would like to find out how to solve this error. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thank you!
EDIT: I have also tried adb installing it but that failed also. Another thing I tried was modifying the AndroidManifest.xml to change the name of the App when it installs, but I couldn't find the right code to modify.
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue I hope I can get some help with.
I just installed the latest update on my 6045l model. It's the "Stagefright" update. Anyway, I just tried to install an app from outside the Play Store, but once I tap "install" it gives an error that says "app not installed."
I have "Unknown Sources" checked, I've played around with the security settings, I've even uninstalled an app that I got from the Play Store and downloaded the same apk from a website...it wouldn't install. I also wiped the device's cache partition. I'm not rooted and don't intend to at this time.
Why is this happening? Anyone have an idea that I haven't tried yet? I appreciate the help in advance!
I remember this happened to my on my OnePlus One and the only thing that helped was to restore the phone.
I had this happen with Amazon apps on a tablet. The cause was another app I had installed to adjust screen colors. I turned that app off and then no more problems installing the Amazon apps.
Okay, possibly a stupid question, but I've tried the couple of tricks that I know and they don't seem to have worked - so I'm not sure if it's not possible, or there's another way to do it, or if I'm simply doing something wrong.
I went ahead and manually checked for updates on my T-Mobile S7 (SM-G930T) tonight, and it found and downloaded the G930TUVU2APC8 update. Since I hadn't heard anything about it yet I went ahead and held off on installing it at the time, wanting to check on the details and read up on it here, and I'm glad I did. After doing my research I've decided not to install it for the time being, and to stay where I'm at, currently on G930TUVS2APB8. So, I'd like to try and delete the downloaded update files entirely, if that's possible -- so I'm not continually prompted to install it, etc.
I thought rebooting into recovery mode and clearing the cache would accomplish this, as it's worked on previous phones (S5/S6), but it doesn't seem to have worked this time. When I booted back to android it seemed the pre-downloaded update files were still there as it prompted me to install them again upon boot.
Does anybody know if it's possible to delete the update files once they've been downloaded? Obviously they haven't been installed yet. I'm not rooted of course, the phone is fully stock.
Thanks!
It's not possible to delete these files without root. You can however use Package Disabler Pro and disable "com.wssyncmldm" (Software Update) to make the notifications go away.
Do I have to use package disabler pro? I can't find this anywhere I'm using some other app hider that doesn't require root and can't find it.
Yes, it's this only way. The built in app manager does not let you disable certain things while this app does.

There are several choices for apps like this on the store.

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.
I downloaded the latest "settings" on telegram, but once installed, I can't access anymore... The application opens then closes straight away..
Any solution to fix? Or do I have to do a reset?
You probably installed a incompatible version, if you use a appmanager you should be able to locate the app (settings) go to manage then uninstall updates it should revert it back.
I've done this and encountered the same issues
I used this; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lb.app_manager
There are certainly other apps that do the same thing
Thanks for your reply..
I installed this application but it can't work because it needs permissions, and each time I try to access to permissions... It closes
So I used "files" which was already installed and managed to go down factory settings
All works now..
Thank you for giving me this idea

Like I say I've been there & done that, I too have installed "updated" OnePlus apps sometimes with success sometimes with crashes.
You should always be able to downgrade/revert.
Sometimes you get quirky faults
But I've managed to get the theme store and various other things working like fonts etc... I'm still unrooted and standard oos.
I use my NFC a lot and I can't risk tripping saftynet just yet.
