I recently purchased a Nexus 10. I'm trying to install the Amazon App Store which is not in the Play Store, but instead is a file that I can download from Amazon. I've selected "Unknown Sources" option in the security settings and when I go to install the Amazon App Store App it gives me the option to install it, but it won't actually let me select the install button. I'm not rooted at all and running a totally stock version of Android 4.2.2 on my Nexus 10. Any ideas as to how I can get this app to install with out rooting my tablet?
I didn't have any problems installing it. Do you have any device administrators activated on your device which might block 3rd party apps?

I just checked and I don't have any device administrators turned on. Is it possible that it's a 4.2.2 issue?

It should allow you to install it. I'd either try re downloading the apk or factory reset.

So after rebooting a few times, it worked. So weird.

Do you have screen filter installed? I had the same issue,I couldn't click on install when screen filter was on. So just deactivate it and you can click on install again. No need to reboot.
After playing around a little, I discovered that it was the Screen Adjuster app that I had downloaded. As soon as I uninstalled the app, everything worked perfectly.

Ok so I got a replacement N7 today and I wanted to reinstall my previous apps.
I didn't want to go through the tedious job of going through the N7's Play store and selecting each app to install again.
So I went online on my laptop to the play store. It changed some, now it shows pictures of my devices and what's installed on them
There is my N7, but it looks like it's my previous unit. I see the apps i had installed in the list as installed apps. So I go into each and try to reinstall them on my new N7. It won't says I already have them installed..
I removed them, go to my phone's image and proceed to reinstall the apps in that list to my N7, again can't they are already installed.
Ok, how do I reset that?
I went to the play store on my computer, selected my Android apps, then clicked all the apps that were on my old nexus 7. Then I went through and selected to install them on my new one.

Did the sad thing but when I would select my nexus 7 it said it was already installed and wouldn't let me. I had to change the name of My previous unit. Reset my new unit and set it up again. It then showed up as another nexus 7 on my account and it allowed me to reinstall.

I'm in the process of getting a replacement due to the screen creaking and slow to respond to screen taps issues.
Not sure if this will work but I'm planning to archive my Apps with a Back Up program and temporarily copy teh back up file to Dropbox until I get my new one. I'll then install the back up programe and, move the file back and then restore
May be (i) a sledgehammer to crack a nut or (b) doomed to failure but it works in my head
Google sucks with their app management. On the play site, you can't get to page 21 (really, a search company can't code it to display more than 20 pages...) of your apps and it lists every app you've ever installed on any device. The best way I found when I was first installing everything was to flip the nexus 7 landscape and it had the tablet interface. That way I could pick the apps to install and not have to re-scroll through the entire list of apps from the top every time I chose one to install.

True that... what's with shopping being on a drop down menu? I use google to price stuff, you'd think they'd want to make using them for that type of revenue searching easier.

Alright so I got a 32GB nexus 7 from futureshop, unlocked/rooted it running stock 4.2.1 and stock launcher. After I leave my tablet in sleep mode for a while (Atleast overnight) and then turn it on I can't launch ANY apps. Settings, games, nothing. The touch screen works perfectly fine I can open up the recent apps and the app menu no problem. However when I click on an app it just stays "glowing" and it doesn't launch until I reboot the device.
After searching I found nothing that relates to what I'm experiencing. So is there any solution to this?
Try to wipe it using cwm and then redownload the apps. Hope it helps! Please press the the thank you button if I helped

I saw a few screenshots of people using Launcher 8 for their KFHD homescreen. I tried to download it through the Google Play store, but it was saying that it was incompatible with my device. A few minutes ago, I tried to download it again, but now the app isn't even appearing anymore in Google Play. Has anyone had success downloading and installing this app on their KFHD?
Perhaps they sideloaded it or installed the apk ?

2 options to get around the issue. Either change your device name on the build.prop, or the safer route.... use Market Helper http://codekiem.com/2013/02/13/market-helper/
Over the last 3 days, Google play has been updating my apps even though I I have always had auto-update apps unchecked since I've gotten the phone.
How do I stop this? Is there another setting somewhere?
Did you go into settings when your in Google play and turn auto update off?

Yes. Its not checked.
Go into settings, apps, Google play and clear cache and data

Mine doesn't have a check box. You have to click the option and select do not auto update apps. Mine was set to auto update over WiFi.

Sorry not to be clear. I selected never update in the same place.
I cleared the cache and went back in and it was set to always update.
I set it back to never. may apps are now all up to date. I'll let you know what happens when one is due.

In settings and under security, did you select "unknown sources".
Same issue
I had the same issue, couldn't get amazon app to install until I restarted my phone, even though unknown sources was checked. I did get the amazon app to install but now I can't install any apps from it. I get to the install screen but can't tap the install button, it just does nothing. I've discovered I'm also having the same issue with my Nexus 5. Is this a Marshmallow problem?

Check the permissions for the Amazon app, make sure it has clearance for storage, etc.
It's because of Lux... Disable Lux and try again. I had the same issue on my 5x but when installing a local apk. It has something to do with the overlay that Lux adds. It messes something up with the permissions (have you ever gotten the message about an overlay being enabled when you go to grant something permissions? I think it's the same thing that causes it)
