[Q] Lollipop (LRX210) - Cannot Install .apk from Storage. Any ideas? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

***SOLVED***
I was using Lux Auto Brightness (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux&hl=en). This thread pointed me in the right direction (http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...nt-click-install-when-installing-sd-card.html) and I uninstalled the app and I could install apps from storage again.
***SOLVED***
I have encountered a problem with Lollipop - I cannot install backed up apps from storage. The install button is simply inactive.
So, I reinstalled 5.0 factory image and it seemed to fix the problem. BUT, now it doesn't work again.
Anybody got any ideas about what is going on here?
Thanks in advance:good:
Edit: could it have something to do with a locked bootloader? Didn't have that problem with kitkat

Wow, must just be me then...
Back to the drawing board...

Wow, same thing is happening to me too. Can't believe it's due to a brightness app, doesn't seem to be much of a link between the two.

Thx!
Works with alternative screen filter enabled from advanced settings

Developer of Lux here. This is fixed in the update rolling out today.

Thank you
That trick worked - I emailed the Lux developer and there should be an update coming out today!
* update
If you simply force Lux to close, then you can install apps and then just open the app again.

Can't install any Apps from unknown source.

Every APP I try to install says "X Not Installed". Updates to apps.
I recently upgraded to CM12, that's when I noticed it. So, I ended up reverting back to a kitkat nandroid. Still happening. I did a full wipe except for internal data. Clean install. Still happening.. I am at a loss.
Settings-Security-unknown sources. Tick that. I know it's too simple but maybe it's not ticked
I check that every time...
Same issue here too.. Running the latest ota 44s I think
Any hints on this issue?
To be more precise : when installing apps from a third party shop like Amazon or xposed the "Install" button has no function like greyed out or something being unable to install the update/app

do you use twilight? lux? or screen filter? something similar?
Yes, Twilight... Why?

Android blocks the install button when an overlay is being used. It's called 'tapjacking' and is a security feature. Pause twilight

Thank you so much that was it.

Many apps have stopped after Android 6.0 update - any global way to fix?

Hi all,
A few months ago I've installed a Developer Preview of Android 6.0 on my Nexus 5. It has worked surprisingly well and today I've updated manually to the latest build (MRA58N). So no root, official recovery...
Android itself works well, but many apps from the Play Store stop with the famous "Unfortunately [App name] has stopped" message. Virtually half of them.
I've tried the usual ways to fix the problem like the cache cleaning and so on, but nothing works. The only way is to uninstall the app and to install it again. Of course, every one needs to be configured next.
What can I do? Of course, I can reinstall and reconfigure every single app, but maybe there is a global fix already available?
[Update]: I continue to investigate the issue because my other Nexus 5 has been updated perfectly. It seems the problem is related to the app permissions as some of them can't access the files, other launch, but can't open any file. Any way to repair the permissions?
Thanks in advance.

CamScanner crashes in 6.0.1, Idol 3 6045Y root+xposed

Hello everybody and thanks in advance.
The thing is that the app CamScanner crashes randomly after launching it, I didn't have this problem in LP (root+Xposed) but in MM (root+Xposed).
After doing a little of research i tried the following without success:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling.
- Delete all the data from both internal and external storage.
- Install a previous version.
- Change several settings in the app.
- Change inside the PlayStore from normal to developer user (allows you to install beta versions).
I'm exhausted of trying to solve the problem but it persists. Any idea would be of great value for me.
Seems the only problem is that Xposed MAY be the only thing interfering with the app. Is there any Modules that you think might irritate the app?

Have you tried CamScanner?

"Files has stopped" Issue

Hi there. I've just upgraded my phone to Oreo and I have this issue with the 'Files' app (not the My Files app). Whenever the Files app is launched to pick a file (e.g. attach a file in Gmail or select a photo in Snapseed) the Files app will immediately crash with a 'Files has stopped' error.
I have tried booting the phone into safe mode and tried attaching a file in Gmail, which worked perfectly. So my guess is that a third-party app is causing the persistent crash. However, my phone has several apps and trying to identify the culprit app(s) will be too much of a hassle.
Does anyone else have the same issue after upgrading to Oreo and have a solution to it (other than factory resetting)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Probably there's a bug somewhere. So you could do any of the following:
1. Wait for an update
2. Do a factory reset
Apart from these two, I don't see other options.

Hmmm well alright, thanks for your help
I have the same problem with my NOTE8, after the March Update, this problem started to appear.
Got in touch with the guys from MyFiles and after few e-mails, they say:
''I checked your log files and found out some error.
But these are regardless of MyFiles so cannot handle it anymore by our side.
com.android.documentsui has problem and it seems to be below apk''
Went here: android.stackexchange.com/questions/187501/what-is-com-android-documentsui
And I believe its a major software glitch that has to be corrected by google/android/samsung...
As others have suggested this may be due to the app nit working with Oreo.
I use FX explorer app from play store, it works with every version of android I have ever used including S8× exynos Oreo
As well as being a great file explorer / management app it can be used to navigate to a specific file to attach etc.

Hi, sorry I forgot to update. I don't know what happened, but I think after a minor software update, the issue resolved on its own.
Nevertheless, thanks for all your insights and advice on this matter

Question Settings don't show

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.
