Unable to install some apps - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Nexus 7 just started having some weird behaviour, so I decided it was time to reset it.
After resetting it, I started to install all my apps, but there are 2 were the tablet always gets stuck. They show as "Installing" forever and never finish, no matter what I do. They are X-Plore and Hacker's keyboard.
I tried to force stop the play store, and as soon as I do it, the message "X-Plore has been installed" appears, but there's no icon on the app launcher. I open the play store again, and it shows as installed. If I click "open", the app opens, but still no icon in the launcher...
If I uninstall and try to reinstall again, the same process repeats... can someone help me?
Thanks!

Are you using stock launcher?
Have you tried rebooting after they are installed and see if they appear in the app drawer afterwards?
You may try deleting the data files for the problem apps after uninstalling.

HELP Cannot update/uninstall/install AppBrain

Guys please help,
I was trying to update AppBrain, but then it stuck at "Installing" (Not downloading) forever.
I restarted the Market app... the same, then I restarted the phone... same thing.
I went to App Management and UNINSTALLED AppBrain, rebooted, but when I try to Install/Update it from the Market it still shows "Installing" automatically, but never finishes....
Now I can't do anything... can't install, or uninstall. All options are disabled or simply unavailable.
I need it, as it is not just some random app... Its AppBrain! My main market app...
Please, I already tried cleaining the Market app cache and rebooted several times. Nothing helped.
I never had this problem.
I'm with stock FW JFB, Rooted, LauncherPro.
Thanks,
Paulo
SOLVED!
Unninstalled all Market app updates.
Then rebooted, opened Market app and it reset itself.
The stuck app was gone!
Thanks.

thanks for your reply. but I can't even launch the market app. as it close with forced close error.
the device is dead. it can boot normally. but every and each app is closing with application error.
I can't even perform factory reset. as it doesn't seem to do anything.
I can't install any apps from google play as it is crashing.
hard reset not working too.

Is your phone normally booting up with no issues or is it booting up in safe-mode?
Have you tried doing a factory reset? What version S 4 do you have? Are you rooted? Custom ROM?

I had the same problem and did a factory reset that temporarily solved the problem but that is definitely not the solution.
The problem is the third party software that could be any app (for me was"Photoid Pro")
The Solution: When it happen for the first time (you must reboot after each App installation and if you are prompted to select a Launcher) immediately delete the app you just installed and reboot again, I am sure you will be back to your default launcher.
If already have the problem you should install "Launcher Switcher" from "google play" open and if you see anything beside your launchers Delete them and that would set you back to default launcher.
Install One App at a time so you know the culprit.

That would kind of make sense. So you're all straight now after figuring this out I assume?

ISSUES AFTER ROOT! I get this error after every app install!!!

I am getting an error after every app I install.
First I get the message:
"Enjoy your app! If you ever forget your password, we can help restore access to your Google Play library and purchases. Tap "Continue" to tell us how to contact you."
Then When I Hit Continue:
I get a blackscreen, the a force quit on com.google.android.gsf.login
Am I really the only one with this issue? I even booted into stock recovery and did a restore... Anyone else?
Bumb. No one else is having this problem?
Rooted yesterday, then reinstalled all my apps. Never saw this message. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen that message before in all my five years of Android use.
I rooted earlier today. I have not had this problem.

Uninstall the google update and let it reinstall, might fix it.
1: Bad form to bump after a few hours.
2: Were you completely stock when you did the original rooting? I'd suggest getting the stock ODIN files and flashing back to that, then retry rooting without installing much of anything.
3: I recommend using 7zip to unpack the files. I had issues with WinRAR, but 7zip worked fine.
Rooted mine last night, reinstalled a bunch of apps between last night and today. I've never seen that message before.

Sorry if it was bad form to bump, should have just changed the title. Anyways
It seems like that is working so far. Uninstalled the update for the play store, cleared data and I haven't had a force quit yet.
I don't even get where this message is coming from, and not a lot when googling the issue. Right when I would accept an apps permissions, this message would pop up, I hit continue, and it seems like it tries to open something but screen goes black. Have to re-open play store BUT it was at the last place i was, the app i just installed with the open button. Weird...
thanks you rock

Apps Update atleast Thrice

Hi All,
So I'm facing this weird issue, where my app updates from the Google Play Store don't seem to stick.
I started having this problem when I was using LOS, and I thought maybe the ROM was the issue. But then, I switched to OOS, same thing.
An app will update and play store will show all apps updated. Then after a few hours the app will update again, and then once more. Usually the update sticks after the third update.
Also, even though I haven't kept a log, but it doesn't seem specific to some apps, it appears to be the case with all apps.
I use Magisk for Titanium Backup. But nothing else.
Also, I thought this was an issue with apps restored with Titanium Backup, but that isn't the case.
PS: I haven't tried without Magisk, as I wouldn't want to use the phone without that.
Any ideas?

Currently using Magisk on OOS and I do not have this issue, so root isn't the issue. I think it may have to do with the play store itself, as it doesn't seem to actually update the apps until the third time like you said. The only two solutions I can come up with are as followed:
1. Hold down on the play store app and clear the data on it and then disable the app (Make sure the option to go back to the factory version comes up after you press disable) and then re-enable the app again. Open it and see what happens afterwards. The idea is to get the play store to re-update itself and fix the issue.
2. Get on a computer and fastboot flash OOS again and see if it persists after you get your phone set up again.
