[Completed] App not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature

I have installed an apk file previously and now intend to install another updated apk file to my android phone. However the installation of the new apk file failed with message "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
I had tried to uninstall the first apk and then install the new apk file but the installation failed with the same message appeared. My phone is not rooted. Is there any way to rectify the error ?
Thank you in advance.

I found another user who could fix a similar issue with YouTube.apk: [Q] Installing the new YouTube V5 apk Issues (task's AOKP).
Maybe it works for you too.
Alternatively you can check if the un-installed (first) app is really completely uninstalled. Maybe it's a system app which still has some left-overs in another folder and is just "de-activated" or "disabled".
However, completely uninstalling of system apps requires root access.
If you still have issues and you can't contact the app/update dev for help, you can post your questions in the Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

[Completed] Default download manager deleted

phone model : lava iris 402+
Android version : 4.2.2
my phone is ROOTED. few days back i make a backup of 'download manager' with ES FILE EXPLORE. then uninstall it. then I Reset my phone. but next time when I use play store I can't download or update any app. it just show 'downloading' and nothg happen.
I also try to reinstall download manager from that backup Apk. but it shows 'not installed'.
and my keyboard is also not working after the reset. it shows ' unfortunately keyboard has stop working'
I also try to find some solution on google. but couldn't find much. mostly tells me to install new ROM. that I don't know how to do.
Is there a way in which I don't have to install new ROM.
plz help me solve this problem.
Thanks.

Thank you for using XDA Assist. Unfortunately your device does not have a dedicated thread on XDA and there is very little information available. When you have deleted system apk's it's often necessary to flash the stock firmware for your device to get it working again. You could try Googling how to install stock firmware for your device.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Its okay.. Thanks anyway

[Q] Reinstall "Samsung Apps" possible?

Hey Guys,
i got a little Problem with "Samsung Apps" on my Galaxy s6 (Stock Rom Android 5.0.2).
I rooted it, and thougt i should delete some of the System Apps. I also removed "Samsung Apps" thinking i won't need it.
After i wanted to download some Camera features i got the error : "com.sec.android.app.samsungapps is disabled", but i can't enable it ( yeah, maybe beacause its gone)
So i tried reinstalling it, using the Apk from this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/hot-galaxy-s6-apps-t3041330
not functioning "Can't install the App"
also i tried getting the apk from the Stock "app" folder or "priv app" of the system dump, and copying the folders on my S6 device (to the same path)
http://zidroid.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-g920fxxu1aobn-system-dump/
still not able to reinstall. Reboot didn't change anything.
So last but not least, a factory reset didn't work either.
It has cleared everything and set the device to default settings etc, but "samsung Apps" is still not listed anywhere.
The question: does anyone have a clue how to reinstall it ? or do i have to download the Stock Image and flash it ?
Thanks for your time

I think the proper section for this would be the Q&A forum. Anyway, if you copy the app make sure to set the right permissions. In any case, if you flash a stock image over the one you have now, the problem should be solved. If it's not solved, a factory reset after that should fix it.

Ok thanks for the hint with the permissions.
I used der folder /system/priv-app/
and copied the Galaxy_Apps_3xh_zero.apk to my S6 path.
installing still wasn't working after setting the permissions ro rw-r-r- (like the other working apps)
i'm not sure, but i think it's something like an autostart path, so rebooting the phone after these steps, fixed my problem.
thread can be closed or whatever

Can't remove adware on freemeosp

Phone leagoo m5, fw latest official based on freemeos. Reflashed latest rom, installed only apps which i used long time without any ads and still grtting annoying full screen ad which can't be closed 10seconds. Phone rooted, but none app aaked/granted root permissions. My only though that it's caused by os itself. There are 2 weird apps: "settings"(can be deleted, but restores after some time. Not weird settinga app(definetely part of os}) shows translated name "nustatymai") other is "app store" can't even delete. Eg. In screenshot imgur dot com/a/btCfz ad appears from time to time even if none apps is opened

You probably used Kingroot or Kingoroot to root your device and it installed malware/adware apps your system partition. Flashing stock firmware probably doesn't wipe system during flashing instead of removing those apps and factory resetting won't work because the apps are in system and factory reset doesn't touch system, it only wipes the user partition.
If none of your apps are requesting root permission then I'd say you lost root and need to root the device again.
Try MalwareBytes app to remove those apps. If that doesn't work you need to get the device properly rooted and then look in your system/app or system/priv-app folder and delete those apps.

That can work...........
But.......
Assuming there are ROMs available and assuming they want to use a ROM. But what if they don't want TWRP or a custom ROM? What if they want to stay with what they have?

Looks like adware installed by root app. "Supersu" caused problems. Kaspersky/malwarebytes and few other random AV didn't found any issues, then i searched with "dr. Web" it found 4 threats i deleted them(with twrp, dr web not offered option to delete) and no more issues. Thanks for pointing to right direction.

Just remember, this is typical behaviour when using Chinese rooting apps and other Chinese softwares, pretty much all of them come with unwanted extras that hide themselves in your system. China is the hacker think tank of the world, they design software to invade devices and steal personal information.

wiped everything with all possible tools which twrp offers(even sdcard), then installed rom and twrp with sp flash tool(all tools took from xda or xda forum links) and adware still exist. searched google and it's not only mine problem a lot of people complains about same "triada" from stock firmware. found workaround and it fixed problem, but still need normal fix.
only few people complains about it... noone from xda don't use last firmware on leagoo m5?
i still not rooted phone, but adware already recreates it after each reboot antimalware apps only detects created bad app and deletes it, but none app can remove virus itself only it's consequences
workaround: create file /storage/emulated/0/.SDAndroid and chmod to 0600; and file /storage/emulated/0/.jm with same permssions. virus won't create folder with that name so he stops recreating it's files
