What apk files are you trying to install? What happens when you click on them?

What happens when you do click on the apk files? You might have to clear defaults for your apps if you accidentally picked some app to open up apk's.

How would I clear defaults for my apps? And to answer your question the phone does nothing at all when you try to install the apks. The apk I'm trying to install is tube mate but Im wondering is it compatible with this version of android?

Go to Settings -> Applications -> Application Manager and select "More" in the top right of your screen. Now select "Reset app preferences"
After that give the install a try again.

Seems that Z4root is gone from the marketplace. I am just learning how to do things on an android device, so please bear with me.
I have the U.S. AT&T Galaxy Tab and initial rooted it with Z4 when it was in the marketplace. I then later did the whole flashing to get the Phone and 3G working on the device. Now I want to fix the missing protected apps marketplace issue. In order to do this... the device needs to be rooted.
Now that Z4 is gone... is there another way to get it Z4 or to get rooted in general?
I had the same problem, believe z4root doesn't work with latest rom so I used this which worked like a charm:

you can install z4root through applanet
So this app called Applanet is something that I have to download on a computer and then it syncs with the Tab? Is that even safe?
Thank you.

I did try this and it does work on the AT&T GT!
Great work - thanks!
What's stopping you from getting the App from Ryan's topic.
Side Load Works
Manually copy z4root.apk to the internal sd card
my files --> touch the file and let it install.
Activate usb debugging mode and run z4root
Really? You can just manually copy z4root.apk to the internal sd card, click it and install? And it actually works? I have the latest version of it too on my PC.

Yep, just get something like astro file manager and click the apk, it'll be installed automatically... after you enable 3rd party app sources of course.
How do I enable 3rd part apps?
You can use superoneclick root as well.

Go to Settings/Applications and tick the top option named "Unknown Sources"
Which says ~ 'Allow install of non-market applications'

Thats how it should be, but didn't the greedy bastards (AT&T) disable sideloading in their preload? I don't have an AT&T tab so I can't check.

hi,
the nfc service is taking 18mb in my memory..
its allways on memory even if i unselect nfc service on network and wireless..
when im trying to uninstall it from titanuim pro..its says "force to close"
there is anyway to remove it??? there is no way to use it anyway ....
Ever tried to go to wireles settings and just disable NFC by a click?
BTW: Wrong section!
Right wrong section but this is one of the apps I delete it everytime I flash a rom. I use root explorer. I multi-select and delete several system apps reboot all done.

Yeah, it would work fine. I did it for UberMusic Beta. Just gotta' go to Settings, Applications then allow access for apps that aren't from the market. Same goes for any Android phones you might have.
it worked
You are correct ! There is the option in setting to allow unknown apps . Thanks and BTW , I LOVE MY THRIVE !!!!! AMAZING AND IT IS LIGHT TO HLD AS WELL
unable to install 3rd party apps
When I click on an apk that's on my SD card I get an error that say "there is no associated application for this file type" any clue what happened here???
non-market app install problems?!?
I'm confused. I selected the "allow non-market" toggle in my settings. Nothing special needed. Am I missing something?

Well you already did it then. Now you can install Android apps from places like here, XDA, or other places that's not Android Market place. It still has to be an android app, an APK. I think some people confusing that it means you can download and install any OS app. Lmao that's not the case. If you they to install something not meant for android, it'll throw up an error or whatever.
I recently updated to CM7 Nightlies and by default it has got ROM Manager installed as a system file. I want to upgrade it to a newer version but can't as it says 'app not installed' when I have already deleted the previous ROM Manager.apk file. HELP PLZ !
Either use Titanium Backup to remove it, or delete the apk from the zip before flashing.

Was "remove market link" selected in TB? And have you tried installing from Google? By that, I mean login to your account on the web and install it from there.

I didn't notice about the 'remove market link'. Where should I look for it in TB? Actually I downloaded .apk and then tried to install it on the phone. I've been doing it for ages but had no problems till now.
You'll find it in Preferences. Also, Menu -> ..., Market options allows you to "Repair Market Links"

Ok I see the following options in Preferences: Normal apps (apk), Protected apps (apk), System apps (apk), Market link... all of these are checked ...there are also options under Freezer settings > Remove Market entry (checked)... under Un-installer settings > Remove Market entry (checked) .... btw, the TB version is 4.2.1
That's all right. Try fixing market links. With rom manager installed.

Then all I can suggest is clearing dalvik cache and try installing from market. Try online install from your pc, Google should push it straight to your phone.

I am running Note 3 SM-N9005 Rooted CM12.1 custom rom. It has a built-in audio equalizer called Audio FX. I disabled it since I installed another "more efficient" equalizer from play store. When I log into my other account in my phone, an error keeps popping out saying "unfortunately, audio fx has stopped". I stucked in there without any option since its looping. Then I reboot to try my luck with stopping it from popping up. Sadly, its no use. Its more worst since it is now affect my primary account. Looping endlessly. Please help and if there is an option to delete this "cursed" app outta my phone, please tell me. Phone is love, Phone is life.

By using ? manager in twrp you can navigate to any file in your system and delete them. Look for the apps name or ask the app developer where it is stored.
I mean clear systems dalvic/cache after .

Did you mean the AudioFX or the one I recently downloaded?
EDIT: Thanks kenny! I finally done it by renaming it in TWRP. No need to clear cache.
