Hello. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo with CM12.1 ROM installed on it. I never had any problems with it, but yesterday, I found out that I can't install any app from Play Store or APK file. I tried to go back to Stock ROM and it worked on it, so I went back and installed CM12.1 again. I installed essential apps, enabled root access and used it for a while without any problems, and I couldn't install apps again after some time! It's driving me crazy!
Play Store shows error -501, installing through an APK file shows an "App was not installed" error and ADB shows the INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR. Also, every app in Application Manager is 0 bytes now. Please, help me!
I tried to wipe cache and dalvik-cache, reinstall Gapps. Also, when I enter the Memory option in the settings, it's calculating forever.
EDIT - OK guys, I'm so stupid. I accidently disabled some system services by using Servicely. It's now working

Guys, I got a WhatsApp+ update notification, I downloaded the new Apk and tried to install it over the old version, howeverthe phone sat on the installing screen with the loading bar for about 2 minutes and then finished with a message saying X Application not installed
I made a titanium backup of the app, uninstalled and tried to install again, the same problem arose, then, I tried to use the play store to install the default app, resulting in a Package file is invalid message after trying to install for a while, I tried to restore my Ti Backup however, when the app was being installed, I got the app not installed message once more, after trying with different versions, of the app it always resulted in the same, cleaning everything I could with SD maid didn't help.
Manually deleting everything seemingly related to the app didn't help.
The last thing I tried was using pm install appname.apk to install it but I get the following message "FAILURE [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_URI]"
I absolutely need this app but I do not want to factory reset, what else can I do to install the app?
Thanks.

Wow, I can't believe something that simple got it to install again, thanks man.
Hi guys,
I've got an issue on 7.1.1 on my X Compact and am at a loss as to how to solve it. I can install and update apps from the Play Store just fine, but if I try to install an app from a file saved on the phone, Package Installer just won't let my tap "Install". That's it. I can navigate around in Package Installer and I can tap "Cancel", but I can't install anything.
My phone is set to allow unknown sources, and I've already tried clearing the app's cache to no avail. I'm not rooted and can't for the time being or, trust me, I would. Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas?

I once had a simmilar issue with allowing root apps permissions on a custom rom. I solved it by factory restarting the phone, and if you want to do that, you can use Titanium Backup to "save" all your apps and data. Hope this helps.
Hi everyone,
it seems the Play Store has got the same problem as years ago. After a clearing of cache and data, I have and empty installed app list and if I try to download apps bought time ago, they cost again.
I talked about the problem and it seemed to be related with detaching script on roms or apps like iytbp. No solutions found over the internet works (delete and readd the account, clearing cache partition, etc).
The only way to restore it was to restore back a previous titanium backup, data only, from a clean installation or from an uncleared play store.
It happened to me on XXX 9.1 but it's not rom related, 'cause it happened again on a clean installed stock Oreo 8.0 rom after installing iytbp with detach.plz method. But today a guy tried on a full stock Oneplus 5 and it happened the same (no root, no unlocked bootloader).
Can you please try if you have the same problem? After a Play Store backup, of course. I already sent a google feedback about that and, if you have the same problem, a google operator suggested to feedback them about that. Thanks in advance for the attention.
P.S. I tried the same on my Wiko Fever (full stock and updated) and it seems to have no problem at all. It also happended on Nougat, but I have not tested a lot.
Same issue here. I've also used the iYTBP detach script, you say it is caused by this? Have you found a solution? I'd rather not have to do a whole factory reset seeing as I don't have TB.
EDIT:
Found the solution to the problem for me. Not sure if this will fix it for good but for now Play store will update and installed apps show up. This solution requires root access. This is what I did:
1. Make full backup in TWRP.
2. Go to "system/priv-app/phonesky", cut the phonesky.apk (apk file for the Play store) file out of the directory to for example your documents folder.
3. Do a full (regular) reboot.
4. Copy the same apk you just move away form it's directory back to it's place (system/priv-app/phonesky).
5. Do another full reboot.
6. Wait about 30 seconds and the Play store should back on your device and functioning normally.
EDIT 2:
Issue where apps don't recognise that the user has purchased it still persists. After uninstalling the app and reinstalling it this issue got fixed.
I installed the new google calculator app with dark theme yesterday and it was working fine until today where the app itself disappeared and i can't find it in settings or disabled apps, i tried to reinstall the apk but it shows this, i tried from the play store and it shows this, i tried to use a method i used before to bypass this kind of issues by slightly changing the package name in an apk editor app and it used to work, now it's just giving me "problem parsing the package"
please any help
Another user reported the app had occupied 1GB space on his phone, so the app seems buggy.
If you cannot clean the apps memory/cache in settings/apps anymore and uninstall then I would suggest you search for the com.google.android.calculator folder(s) on your phone and manually them. Then from TWRP also wipe dalvik cache and cache on next start and for the time being, until Google fixes it, use another calculator.
I am happy with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shaytasticsoftware.calctasticfree (only 2.9 MB and better reviews than Google).
Got my OP8P a week ago. I have since rooted and installed Nethunter and have had a great time
Recently started getting the error that i have "insufficient storage" and google play will no longer install any apps. Even if i delete an app it says it cant install.
Now im stuck without two apps i wanted.
I have cleared cache and storage on google play and still the error persists. I have restarted numerous times.
If i download the APK it installs fine
I have 160GB free on my phone so its a bit disappointing
Any ideas?

Check under settings (within phone) / apps / Google play / permissions / storage
Also does it have the right to install apps.
Guessing you're rooted, turn on systemless and reboot.
So it has all needed permissions. And I've already installed a few apps from the store
I tried the "systemless" from magisk and rebooted...no dice
So weird, it randomly started working today. I can now download apps off google play.
I nearly cried tears of joy.
To all concerned i did nothing out of the ordinary besides install APK's manually from apkpure.com
Interestingly enough when i downloaded spotify it wouldnt open. just kept crashing
after downloading from google play it opened right up
Glad you got it sorted! cheers
Well just when i thought i was in the clear....
it came back. but worse this time
Now when i get that error my phone seems to loose its storage altogether
by that i mean once it says insufficient storage on google play my pictures will ALL disappear
if i go to the file explorer it tells me there is NOTHING on my phone at all
if i reboot it will start working again but then will usually fail once i get an error regarding the oneplus system service
still trying to figure this out. i may roll back to Oxygen OS 11 (vs. 11.0.2.2)
"insufficient storage" on youre Google?
On the phone you have alot.

It is now affecting me outside of the play store. I cant take pictures and when i use file explorer (the oneplus app not root file explorer or any third party app) it says i dont have any files at all
This can only be fixed with a restart and it seems to come back at random times. hasnt done it it a while but im sure it will
