Hi Guys,
I tried to install WA+ in my S7(non-edge) phone but I am getting an error, The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name. Since there is no way to uninstall the preinstalled WA, I disabled it but still the same error is there. I have seen people having WA+ in their phones without rooting or deleting the preinstalled version. What should I do?
Thanks
Bump.

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.
I recently deleted some pre-installed apps on my Honor 8, however I now realise that I actually needed huawei backup, which I also deleted. When I try to install it through the play store, it gives me an error 505, and when I try to install the app through an APK, it gives me the same error. It doesn't work by installing the app through ADB either, because then it gives me a conflicting permissions error. Is there any other way I could get this app back?
Wrong answer - Deleted.
Commented in wrong place.
Did you enable Install from other sources in the developer settings before trying to install the APK manually?
Yes, I did.
Hi Guys,
I installed Truecaller app in my S7 a couple of months back. I lost the sim with which I registered it. Now it is asking for an update. If I install an apk file, it gives an error The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name error. Is it possible to bypass this error without uninstalling the installed app?
Thanks
I'm trying to update AdAway and BitSlide but both have been banned from the Play Store and/or are not available with their current versions anywhere but their own github or source sites. When I try to install them, I get a very vague and unhelpful error for "application not installed" which doesn't tell me anything.
I've tried force closing them, freezing in TiBackup and using an APK installer app from the Play Store, but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas? Googling this extensively and looking around on XDA, Reddit, etc. haven't helped.
Solution: After trying to load via ADB it provided a much more useful error for me to troubleshoot "signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!" which obviously meant I had signature mismatches on the apps I was trying to install. I simply uninstalled them and then was able to re-install new versions via ADB or natively on the phone (either install method worked). Simple fix!

I believe your thread shouldn't be ignored as it can be of great help to unexperienced members. As such that you for the explanation and hint, and that you tagged your thread as "solved".
Hi everyone,
When running into trouble with Revolut apps on the 12SU (China ROM), I tried to install an older version via APK from apkpure. I am however unable to install APK's. It says "couldn't install. Error 999" I have tried several other apps, same thing.
I already gave permission to install unknown apps to firefox, chrome and the xiaomi app installer app, but to no avail.
Any thoughts?
