Hello!
Recently, my Xperia has stopped letting me install any aplication which I previously downloaded to my SD card. Android Market works fine, but my phone won't let my install any ".apk"
When opening the installer, I can only press "Cancel" button, but NOT the "Install" button. I hit the "Install" button, but nothing happens. ¿Any ideas?
PS. I have enough memory space, both on my SD and internally
Thanks!
Have you tried the correct forum????

Today, when I check the updates of the apps, I found that this app keeps showing "installing" but the app has been installed properly .
I tried several ways to solve it but all doesn't works.
1.) Restart
2.) Unmount & Remount SD card
3.) Uninstalled it by Titanium Backup
4.) Restore the app with older version
5.) Kill "Market" in Taskiller
6.)flashing a room
7.) . go to your settings
2. select "applications"
3. then select "manage applications"
4. press menu and select "filter" then "All"
5. scroll down to:
- "Market" then select "clear cache"
- "Market" then select "clear data"
But all of these cannot solve the problem.

if you're using an sd build delete your android rom then install your rom from beginning. i do so when i encounter strange problems.
So I am trying to load a couple of apks I have and it's been no go. On my Epic I usually just dropbox, open, and install. I tried that and initially got the security message. That is already taken care of via nookcolor tools. So that isn't the issue. My issue is every time I go to install I go to Astro, open the file via the "open app manager," it takes me to the info install page...I click install and it loads into the package installer, excellent...and then it just stalls and the progress bar runs and runs but never progresses. This has happened with every apk I have now tried.
Okay...so I figured I'd just go the little more involved (very little, no need to be that lazy, right) route and adb install. Well carp. All goes well, I adb install blahblah.apk and it starts rolling..."570kb blah..etc pkg /blah/temp/blah"...and just hangs there...never to give me the gratifying "success" message. Again, I have tried this with different apks that I know work and the same results. I restored to stock and rerooted, just in case. Same
I am running stock rooted (manualnooter) at this point, just got the nook day before yesterday (one of the many who jumped at the refurbs). Market apps download fine. I'm a blue dot, if that makes any diff. Likely not but meh.
I have searched and googled and not found the answers...but I know I am missing something elementally simple. My luck I'll look like an idiot and it will be a "did you check to see if you had any gas?" broken down car scenario. I'm okay with that, as long as I'm running again. I'm pretty sure I checked all the out of gas scenarios but I likely missed one or two so... any help is much appreciated. Thanks a ton...
I should know better than trying to write before coffee
Well, My answer is not a "check gas" answer. It's pretty dang weird.
1. Download ES Explorer from the market.
2. Start ES Explorer, hit Menu>Settings. Goto Root Options (NEW) and tick both check boxes. Hit allow when it asks you to.
3. Go back twice, until you see your sd card contents. Find the APK on there and select and hold. Hit copy and then hit the 1st button on the row of buttons (it's an icon of an sd card OR a Home icon) If you see a data folder, go in to it. If not, hit the 1st button again.
3. Once in the data folder, go into the app folder. Pull up the little white tab on the bottom. Tap the APK you wanted to install. It will copy. Once you see the APK's icon in the folder, hit the home button and restart. That should have installed it but it is a slow method. Note that you can Multi-Select APK's by pressing the Multi-select button and pasting them all in the /data/app/ folder.
are you sure you have side loading checked
Settings > applications should be the top box.

I think he already took care of that. And he is on stock, so there is no Applications setting.
ikingblack, thank you, thank you!
Not sure why but by doing this it somehow unsnafued the package installer as well (fingers crossed). I went through your instructions with a known good apk that would not install for anything before. And there it was after the copy, paste reboot etc. Not too much to ask for...still was confused as to the why of the normal package installer method not working. So I decided to give it (package inst) a go with another known working apk (I had just tested it on my epic) that previously wouldn't install, repeatedly, and now it installed just like it should. Scratching my head in wonder. It shouldn't be the reboot, as I have do so many times...the only difference is the install instructions and adding ES (I'm leaving astro behind I think). All I know is it is working and I am a happy camper (tent is in the back yard...) Thanks again! cheers!
Sure. Also, you can select all the APK's using the 2-file icon at the top and tapping the APKs, then press-and hold on one of the APk's and then go to data app, and keep tapping the APK's you wanna copy. And then reboot. Enjoy your Nook!
Thanks for this, it fixed it, but I don't know why.
I suffered this issue on my dell streak.
It was working fine a couple of days ago when I installed GetJar.
Suddenly today for no reason I can determine:
All APK's I tried the install button in the package installer was not grayed out, but it would not respond when pressed.
I've just been setting up my streak again and installing a lot of software. I'm guessing something must of gone wrong.
Someone on another post suggested JuiceDefender may have caused it but I've not installed that recently.
In my case I did:
(1) Installed esFileExplorer
(2) Copied an apk to the folder /data/app/ as described above
(3) restarted the phone
This did not install the app for me.
(4) Tried running the apk file again. Suddenly the Install button is clickable again?! The app then installed just fine.
(5) Tried a different apk (without copying to /data/app/)
Now that will install fine?!
This is really weird. I can't replicate the issue now (which is good!)
but I also can't tell which action fixed it.
As said above it may have been installing esfileexplorer and giving it root access.
It may have been the act of copying the file that reset something.
It wasn't the reboot, at lease not on its own as i'd already tried it.
Regardless, thanks for the info.
If anyone sees this issue again you might want to just try installing esfileexplorer and see if apk's will then install.
This might help us identify which bit of the process is creating the fix.
Just found another suggestion if anyone is interested:
Some suggests using the 'Fix permissions' option of Titanium Backup. I have no way to test this.
I updated my nook color firmware to 1.41 and then installed the latest CyanogenMod. The nook color boots but I keep getting the message "The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly." I have searched the internet and forums without success. I can not access the apps market.
Any help would be appreciated.

First I'd Fix Permissions on CWM. No help? Then try this:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >
Then make sure you look under the all tab. The downloaded tab is the default for me.
It is called Google Services Framework and you clear the data for this one and cache for market.
Start Nook Color Tools.
Select the “All Settings” button.
Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
Choose “Manage Applications” from the list.
Select the “All” tab.
Scroll down to “Market” and select it.
Tap “Force stop”.
Tap “Clear cache”.
Tap the Back button if you have SoftKeys running, else swipe right to left on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (from the clock to the book icon).
Scroll up to “Google Services Framework” and select it.
Tap “Clear data”.
Tap “OK”.
Tap “Force stop”.
Press the n button to return to your launcher.
Start Market.
At the “An error has occurred” message, tap “OK”.
Hold your power button to turn off your NOOK Color from the menu.
Turn your NOOK Color back on and give it a moment to find your WiFi connection.
Start Market again, and the problem should be resolved.
I updated my nook color firmware to 1.41 and then installed the latest CyanogenMod.

Installed it where? To boot from a SD card? If you installed it internally you didn't need to upgrade to 1.4.1 as it wipes it anyway. How did you install CM7? What version of CWR are you using? What version of CM7?
Still Not working
Skeeterpro and patruns,
I tried all your suggestions and still no luck.
I installed the following:
CyanogenMod-7-11162011-Nightly-encore
Android version 2.3.7
Build GWK74
I used an SD card and installed it internally. It does not run from the SD card. I used an installer program call ClockworkMod v3.0.2.8 to do the installations.
Thanks,
Jim

That is an old version of CWR. It does not perfomr a complete wipe. Use this one and make sure you wipe/format cache, data, system and Davlik: http://www.multiupload.com/N5C1846GH3
Thanks for all your help, I have it working now.

i have the same problem ...how can i fix this ????
I had this problem when I was using an old a-data card after I put a bunch of pictures on it. I tried resinstalling, etc, and nothing helped, even deleting the image files. I eventually installed CM7 to internal/emmc and never had the problem again. If that's not an option, you may want to try a new Sandisk card (if you're currently using something else).
Thanks for the help...it fixed my problem of "android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly" on my LG Optimus 2X when opening Gallery.

I was getting this same error message on my nook color.
Turns out I had forgotten to do a full wipe before the CM9 install. Coming from stock.
If you're an idiot like me then retry it, wiping first (like patruns said), especially if you're coming from stock, since...duh...
thanks patruns!
android.process.media
I hate to ressurect an old thread, but I'm having the same issue with my nook. I've installed CM 7.2.0 on my nook after having this problem. I assumed that it must be an issue with the SD card since nothing I did fixed the problem. Now that the CM is on the tablet proper, it's still popping up. I did everything in the step-by-step given earlier, to no avail.
I'm using TWRP as my booter rather than CWM.

I just ran into the "android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly" loop myself after downgrading from a CM11 nightly to CM10.2.1 (Simpson's Tapped Out wouldn't work on CM11 ) . Opening Google Play Store consistently caused it and closed the play store app before I could interact with it.
I managed to fix it by formatting my uSD card back to FAT32 (along with the various formats etc for a fresh install that didn't work on their own).
I suspect the root cause was formatting my uSD card to exFAT as part of the upgrade to CM11.
Suddenly my package installer button "Install" became useless. I was trying to install an APK file, but when I pushed "Install" nothing happened. The button wouldn't click and the program wouldn't install. When I click an APK file from a file mgr. the installer pops up OK. I tried a hundred different APK files with no success. I reinstalled the Package Installer from TiBackup. It looks fine. The "Cancel" button works fine, but that all it does. Strangely, program updates from Play Store install great (of course, they bypass the Package Installer dialog.) Tablet works great otherwise; isn't bricked, just cannot add new or reinstall any apps.
Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem without having to completely wipe the A500 and reinstall Android? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Well Hello there!
Everything was working fine but then that was the problem because devil was prying its eyes on my phone :laugh:
Now I can't click on install button when installing apps from apk file. Cancel button is working fine and also installing apps from app store have no issues as well. I have tried installing other apps and on some them install option is working and those are the apps which do not require any permissions. So the apps with any permission access have problem with Install button.
Everything was working fine but the I installed the last app named Network Monitor mini downloaded from other source and this app has a permission "Draw over other app and Modify system settings" maybe something fishy?! and also while I was typing here, Lg keyboard is not working properly like its automatically autocorrects on its own, turns caps, etc. I was hard time while typing here.
Any help? :crying:
Hi, have you tryed to uninstall "Network Monitor mini" or disable it (the background service) before installing something ?
or you can look at this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73405029&postcount=5

Tried but no luck :crying:
I've tried everything I could. Well there were some topics like this that were around 4 year old which caused due to some apps like lux, screen dimmer, etc. but I don't have anything like that and also this keyboard is causing problem a lot like auto typing, cursor jumping somewhere else, etc. Maybe factory reset is only thing left. Thanks anyway :good:
I had the same Problem a few weaks ago.
To fix it i first download the .apk file again. Then i opened a File Manager (for me it's Es File Explorer) went to the Download folder and clicked on the .apk file, the install Button didn't work. Now You have to click on the recent Apps Button in your navbar and switch to another App and directly switch back to the File Explorer, where the Installation windows is still open. Now i could press the install Button.
Hope this works.

Well I did factory reset and the problem was still the same because the first app I installed was ES file explorer and guess what this problem was only occurring in ES file explorer :laugh:
Everything is working fine when I open any apk file with default file manager. :good:
Thanks bro!
This is happening to me and it's the first time ever. I thought the phone was knackered again. I got into a boot loop when I flash the Magisk 17.0 zip from TWRP (the recommended option to install after DL was not visible). Could not get out of boot loop but was able to boot into TWRP so I just flashed Fulmics again (easiest option for me) and restored some backups and downloaded some APKs. Only one APK would install normally but if I pressed the power button and then woke the phone up again with the power button it would work and the "Install" option would no longer be greyed out.
Does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a permanent fix?
