APK application not installed

I am using root explorer to copy the city id and 3g hotspot apk from my sd card to system /app but every time I try to install I get application not installed. I changed permissions and everything. I do not know what I am doing wrong. I un installed them with titanium and want to restore them. I did a backup but did not see an option to reinstall. So, I just downloaded the apk's and am doing it this way.
Where did you get the apk's? I need the City id

Here is where I downloaded the cityid apk. Hope it helps. I do not even know if it was the right one. They are for the Droid X but I assumed since they are similar it would work but I can not ge it to install to my system /app

APK doesn't install
Yes, there's something strange going on with the TAB.
I get "application not installed" when I try to reinstall the mail app. I've also tried moving the APK into the system/app folder but it won't even with r/w access.
I've also tried installing with adb, but that throws INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT.
The same file installs fine on my HTC Desire.
I used Superoneclick to root the TAB, and terminal seems to get su without problem, but I think there's something I'm missing.
Any help gratefully received.

[Q] .apk can not open

Hi All,
I am using the latest nightly on galaxy note N7000. My problem is related to .apk files. I have couple of .apk's in my sd card which i cannot install. As soon as i touch it to open for installantion, it gives me an error file cannot open. Please Help!!
First bit of "help" is that if you don't fully and completely describe your question, it isn't answerable.
Which APKs? How are you trying to install them? What do the logs ("logcat") tell you? Have you successfully installed them on other ROMs? Which ROMs? Which versions of APKs and ROMs? Are you using stock kernels? Have you tried it on a clean install of the ROM?
the built in downloads is apart of the documents app. it wont install apk files. u need to download a file manager from the app store to do so.

Thank You for the quick reply. I tried to install them with using a kind of app installer and it installed.

A quick little favor

I accidently deleted google play store app using titanium backup. I tried installing the apk but that didnt work. It kept saying "Unfortunately Google play store has stopped working". Ive tried almost every google play apk and it does the same thing. Can somebody please backup there google play store app using titanium backup and send me a backup of there google play app. It should be located in /storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup. Unless theres another way to install it again. Thanks.

(emphasis added)
if you have the zip on your computer, extract/unzip the gapps file, then move the appropriate *.apk file to your phone install it
I tried installing the apk. Im getting the same error. If i get a backup file, like mentioned above, and install it threw titanium, will it work? thanks.

You will need a file manager with root permissions, move the apk to /system/app give it the proper permissions, should be read write and execute.

Unable to uninstall: com.sonyericsson.album_5.4.A.0.22.apk

I recently installed com.sonyericsson.album_5.4.A.0.22.apk, but like a noob I didn't read the description before hand and the apk file is actually only for Xperia Z2 System/Media/App ] Apks and Odex and Jar files for Z1
The apk installed as normal, however I can't find the application in my app drawer and using root explorer the album apk is not showing in system/app system/private app or any other location.
The problem is that I am not able to install the correct version as the wrong apk has to be removed somehow first, when I try to restore the version that used to work from titanium backup - it just hangs at restoring and never restores successfully. Trying to restore the apk directly from a file manager results in a "not installed" message - I think this is because the wrong apk is still hidden somewhere in my device.
Any suggestions guys? any suggestions will be highly appreciated :good:
Heres the thread from which I found the incorrect apk from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665174
I've also attached the apk file here.

If you installed it like a normal app (just opened the apk), then look into /data/app.

Thanks for the suggestion, but its not there either - strange.
Then how do you know, that it isn't gone yet?
The system wont allow me to install it again or any other com.sonyericsson.album.apk file, I'll keep checking system directories one by one until I find it.

HTC Stock (Official ) File Manager for HTC Desire 816

Hey Devolopers This is the official htc file manager thread
It was taken from The Android 4.4.3 OTA for HTC One M8 which has been extracted as an APK and can be further installed on any supported Android devices.
Link
The Biggest thing Not tha apk file ,
Can any Devoloper make it a flashable zip file so it can be installed from a custom recovery to the ROM to be a pre-installed app of the rom so that when we do a hard reset to the device we won't lose it and be a system app?
Don't need help guys , I made a flashable zip file of it so it will be system app (can't be uninstall it even you wiped your data :good: I will upload it soon in the Attached Files
God bless HTC, Thanks for this mido.
Any other Good new apps from this ota extract?
Thank you!

In KitKat, the external SD card is read only. You can't edit it. To change this you have ti be rooted.
File Browser stop unexpectedly
hi mido3366 or anyone else able to help - i'm new at this
I bought a HTC One M8sw off Ebay - it came from China. I can see based on the settings and using Root Checker Basic that it has been rooted and customised and I have SuperSU app showing up. Thus, I have a File manager installed which probably does not come as stock with the mobile? The file manager works fine. Issue is that, when I'm in the stock MAIL app and i try to attach a file by clicking on File or click on Document/PDF or Office Document - I get the following error:
------------------------------
Sorry!
File Browser has stopped unexpectedly.
-----------------------------------
I have gone through all the trouble shooting with HTC including clearing cache and data, rebooting, safe mode for 24 hours, deleting and re-adding email accounts, but still does not work. They have told me now that i need to a factory reset and see if this fixes it ... but i prefer not to do that as I don't want to remove all the amazing customisation which came with the phone.
Can you please let me know if there's anything i could do to fix this issue without going back to a factory reset?
Note: I'm not a techie ... so have limited to any knowledge on how to root, check root etc.

Which browser do you recommend?
I use chrome and for sites that need's flash player puffin browser.
Sorry .. I meant, which file browser do you recommend? Can it read/ write to SD?
Well my 816 is not rooted , i dont need it . If your phone is rooted and you restored pre-4.4.x SD Card permissions than root browser(file manager) is able to r/w to sd
