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.

Suddenly my package installer button "Install" became useless. I was trying to install an APK file, but when I pushed "Install" nothing happened. The button wouldn't click and the program wouldn't install. When I click an APK file from a file mgr. the installer pops up OK. I tried a hundred different APK files with no success. I reinstalled the Package Installer from TiBackup. It looks fine. The "Cancel" button works fine, but that all it does. Strangely, program updates from Play Store install great (of course, they bypass the Package Installer dialog.) Tablet works great otherwise; isn't bricked, just cannot add new or reinstall any apps.
Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem without having to completely wipe the A500 and reinstall Android? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Is anyone else able to install the latest update to Google Keyboard from the Market? I am unable to. I think I broke my Razr at some point, sadly. I manually updated to the new keyboard before they put it in the market (way back when). I have been able to get it to update in the past, but now, something is wrong, and it won't update...it keeps either telling me my certificate isn't correct, or it is already installed.
Things I have tried:
Making sure the following were the stock versions, and then removing all of them:
in /system/app:
Latin.apk, LatinIME.apk, LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk
in /system/lib:
libjni_latin.so, libjni_latinime.so
in /data/data:
com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
com.google.android.inputmethod.latin.dictionarypack
com.motorola.android.inputmethod.latin
I have tried wiping davlik-cache and cache, tried rebooting. Tried installing from market, and downloaded apk, using adb and pm install. It seems to either, if all the files are present, tell me that it can't install, as it is a different version of the certificate OR if I delete them all, it tries to install and reports the app is already installed.
Any suggestions?
Just to help anyone else find this post, some of the error messages I encountered that would help them find this in searching:
From the pm install, errors: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES and INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS
and from the dialogs in Android, when trying to do it from the market:
Application already exists, and Package file was not signed correctly.
Are you rooted? If so, have you tried uninstalling the keyboard with titanium backup, rebooting, then installing the new one from the play store?
Yep, I'm rooted, I should have mentioned that. I tried uninstalling with Titanium Backup, no luck. There must be some other thing that is colliding with the keyboard, something that I need to delete or clear, no idea. I am sure it is an odd problem to me, cause I got the keyboard manually before it came to market, but darned if I can figure this out. It really stinks, cause now I have only one choice, Swype. I really like and miss the Google Keyboard.
Only other thing that I can think of is if you are running a custom rom, do a dirty flash and then flash gapps. Otherwise you might have to do a complete wipe and start over.

If your problem is in somewhere in data then a factory data reset is an option. But before you try that my restore thread allows you to try 3 different systems (stock, stock deodexed-debloat & if your are unlocked: a Telstra deodexed-debloat) and keep your data. They all need to be done is a series to keep data.

I managed to get this installed...I'm not sure exactly what I did to get it to work, and I still think I am somewhat broken, unfortunately. I removed the data directory, left all the .so and .apk files from stock, EXCEPT I took the Google Keyboard apk and manually stuck it into /system/app. I THEN did a pm install -r googlekeyboard.apk and it managed to install on top. I think I also (although not sure it helped) removed a rename line in /data/system/packages.xml about the package.
I don't have it linked in the market (in spite of trying with TB) and I don't have the Google Keyboard Settings app showing in my app tray, but the keyboard is there, selectable and seems to be working.

I am unable to install any version of google keyboard in my rooted Micromax A177.
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.
(Clearing the play store cache doesn't work either)

Wow, I can't believe something that simple got it to install again, thanks man.
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
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.
