Use a root browser like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, and copy the .apk files into data/app
Reboot into recovery, and fix permissions

How do I fix permissions or is there an option to do that in clockwork mod?
Also, would it be possible to use mobileodin to do that instead

Putting it into data/app installs is, fixing permissions is just so it will show in the app drawer
Make sure you have Security => Unknown Apps checked and Verify Apps unchecked
Apps install fine for me by clicking an .apk
Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.

Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, to try and install with your original method, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.

Apk installation problem

I tried to install an .apk file on my note 3 and it says Application not installed. I used a apk installer and I have the note 3 rooted.
The file I wanted to install is attached. Can anybody help ? Thanks...

Doesn't work for me either. It is probably not compatible with our device due to the screen size/resolution/dpi, or the apk is damaged.

Have you tried moving it into system/app, changing permissions and rebooting?

Yes... It would not function. Do you know anybody that can check the file and see if it can be modified to function on the Note 3 ?
Thanks...

If your phone is rooted and your in a custom rom then do this , but if your on stock rom , try to install samsunghub. apk and use the search button to look for the app
1. extract libgnustl_shared.so from system>lib of your rom's zip.
2. Copy and paste to System>>lib and change permission to rw-r--r--
3. Reboot and enjoy!

If you have a custom recovery then download the file from here and flash away. but if you dont have a custom recovery then use a root explorer and push the file in lib directory. and set permission

Thank you so much, it's working!!

I'm not sure that bluetooth is an app. I don't have an app installed for it at least, and there is no bluetooth app in the app store...
really trying to avoid factory wipe since it would take at least two hours to reinstall everything

NO ma man you can find the Bluetooth app in this location /system/app
then replace it

Yes yes yes
Replacing app in /system worked for me..Thanks guys as it was quite frustating....

thanks for the reply
there is apparently no app in the system/app folder for bluetooth, which i'm guessing is the problem
now where the heck do i find the 'replacement'? There is no bluetooth app in the market. sorry for not knowing exactly what to do

The system/app contains the bluetooth app, take a look
And if you are running 4.4.2 I can upload the apps for you

yeah I meant that the bluetooth app is not in there at all. don't know why i accidentally said folder
not sure if i'm running 4.2.2 or what, how do i tell? gs4 that i've been using a custom rom called mint jelly ever since it came out back in June of last year, and have not made any further updates due to them not being necessary

You can tell by going to Settings > More > About Device > then you will find android version

thanks, ive never sideloaded an app before so if you wouldnt mind....
do i download on computer? and then after I extract I take the APK and push it through? I can lookup this process but just wondering if this is the route i'm supposed to be going next

Download "ES File Explorer" then click on option button
Then scroll down and turn on Root Explorer
Then click on root explorer and choose Mount Option and change the /system to rw
Then download the apps & extract them
You can extract them on pc, then copy the apps to SD Card
From SD Card copy them to System/app

really thankful for your help
i did get those exact files into my sys/app folder
restarted the device and bluetooth still wont work...really frustrating. hard to believe the only way to fix this might be to get a completely different custom ROM and resetup my entire device, which will take hours and i'm sure it's just a matter of time before I have some other problem.
Any suggestions welcome

Sorry I forgot the most important thing
Keep pressing on any app in the /System/app
And click properties
And look to the permission of the app
then keep pressing on the Bluetooth app and click properties and click change the permission of the bluetooth app to Permissions like the previous app
Reboot

There is no such file in the phone. I am attaching the default phone apk and odex zipped. Note that it is NOT a flashable zip. Move it using a root file explorer to you /system/priv-app with -rw-r-r- permission. Boot up and you will have your phone app back again..
----press thx if helped
