[Q] App not installed.

This is the error I'm getting when trying to install some apks. A lot of others worked but some just won't. It's a new phone and a fresh ROM. Why is this happening? What do I do about it?

One of the apps which did it was Battery Widget Reborn. I initially tried installing it via .apk and got the error. Then the same app normally installed via Play store.

Did you enable allow apps from unknown sources? Sideloading is disallowed by default.

The same app installed from Play Store, works. What do you mean by setting the permissions?

Not trying to be snarky, but what good is a smartphone without internet access? Sounds like a $400 paperweight. Are you running a virus scanner that could possibly be blocking sideloading?

I'm having a similar issue. I've been using a slingplayer app that I downloaded over two years ago. I had it working on my Nexus 5 until I switched to ART. After the switch it wouldn't install. I switched back to Dalvik and now it won't reinstall. I can and have installed every other apk on my phone with no problem since switching back except for this one. Any suggestions?

Tried that and it didn't work, but...
PROBLEM SOLVED! What I did was to do a thorough search inside my root to find anything related to the app I was trying to install. I found out that the app has somewhat partially installed in few places. I then deleted all of those and tried installing again. Worked.

I also tried switching between Dalvik and ART but it didn't seem to change anything. I suggest you search your root for any remnants of the app you want to install. Look in data/app, data/app-lib, data/data and system/app.

Is Google Assistant possible on Note 5?

Was just wondering if it was possible to enable Google Assistant on the Note 5 because I hear good things and now curious about it.
Edit: Question answered and resolved!
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app

there is a way but it needs to be 7.0, and you have to tweak some things and be rooted of course

I have it working on my Note 5 running 6.0.1.
How I got it to work:
Download the Xposed Installer app.
Download the Assistant Enabler module.
Use Google App version 6.6.17.21 arm.
I use this version because I read and tried the updated versions and they removed the feature.

This worked for me. Darthstalker v11. There is actually a separate Xposed module called enable Google assistant. So you don't need the full Android n-ify module. The only issue I'm having is that it won't remember my voice. Everyone I say "ok Google" it asks me to retain my voice.

It is activated by long press home button. was doing so. but change language and stopped working.

I can confirm that this method works on my TMO note 5 running N5 Express V2.0 as well. I have some display flashing issues when using the Androidn-ify that was listed on droid ape but i just typed that into the modual section of Xposed and got the enabler for it to work.
Make sure all the permissions are set up properly or there could be network issues. Speaking from experience with it its not fun. Other that that working flawlessly Using mymmx's method

Yes. Holding home button didn't do anything directly after fresh install of the ROM. Maybe kernel? I'm just guessing at this point. Lol

Of course there is parsing error.
I am looking into the codes after decomoiling it . so far no new useful piece of codes whatsoever .
maybe all the change has been made to the HAL or something , maybe they just changed the build SDK to 24 and released the old APK as it was

Funny that I don't get likes for actually extracting the file...
And of course it has errors..it is made for Android 7.

Isn't Android P breaking Substratum anyway? At least in betas this has been reported to be the case.

I removed my substratum theming and it works now. Thanks for sharing the link.
Wonder if we'll get a different theming engine when Android P officially lands.

HD 8 2017 App Disabler / Killer

Hi,
I have the HD 8 2017 with google play and nova launcher installed. And I managed to hide the amazon apps from this thread. I only installed very few apps like Google Chrome, Facebook, Youtube, Netflix.
But few from these apps like facebook and netflix (somethimes youtube) is running in background when I check the running applications and it eat some of the RAM on my devices. I need to stop this manually to free up the ram. And soon it will auto-start again.
Just like to know if there is an app killer/disabler that I can use to stop this apps from auto-starting. Or kill the apps immediately after using it.
Thanks in advance!

Yes they are, but I also just realized that in the playstore it says Android 6.0 and up which is my bad for not realizing sooner so it may not work. But worth a try.

@jhannbernas & @THERAJ12 you can try an app in the play store called Brevent though, that should work on the tablets.
