Hi all. New to the forum. I have been searching the web for the last hour or two and haven't found a solution to my problem. I have used the search feature on this forum trying to find a solution but I don't think there's a thread for it. Im trying to install the showbox app. So I clicked the let unverified apps download button. We're good there. Now after I download it I go to file manager and try to install it, but when I click the install button the phone doesn't do anything. Almost as if it's not registering the touch to the install button on the screen. Tons of people have had these issues. Many other forums and videos say to uninstall or close out your screen filter apps or screen apps. I have no such apps. Version 4.95 and older I have all tried, the same thing happens. . Any Insight on how I can get this app installed please let me know. And if there is a thread send me a link. Thanks.

try with a file manager such as root browser maybe?
@BrewCrew94!!, since you mentioned the Install button that means you made it to the Package Installer so we can rule out the ROM's file manager.
You don't say what ROM you're running. For a time there was a package installer bug that plagued some ROMs. That was eventually fixed though.
If it is an overlay problem there could be something missed that's blocking the install button. Even a ROM's built-in appbar could do that.
You could maybe try Install Button Unlocker from the Play Store. If that helps then there is an overlay issue somewhere. If not, then not sure at this point.

Standard problem, when some kind of overlay app is installed as many of those use the top layer of overlays.
Every button on a deeper layer does not work in this case.
Thanks for the responses! OK so on my axon 7 I haven't a clue about what rom I am running. Nothing custom so I'm assuming I am running the latest version. I recently downloaded MI Favor. I could Check the settings later. I found a solution to the problem by creating a new user on the phone and strictly only downloaded it. It works through the file manager but doesn't work on my main phone user with all my apps. I heard of the overlay issues but I couldn't figure out what the problem app could be.
I mentioned that Install Button Unlocked app, well, I think that publisher has a companion app to identify overlays. There are others like that also. Maybe one of those can help ID what's blocking the installs.

I have updated the new showbox

So I have my new Acer 500A and it is flashed, now I want to actually install apps on it, but every app I try to download says "Error Processing Purchase".
Now I did search and they said remove the cache for market, delete my account and then add them back, I did this, but still same issue.
Next I tried purchasing through the web and then installing this works, but is not acceptable, obviously.
Currently I seem to have a small door stop (which it is bad at as it is too thin ). What I want is to be able to install apps any app from the market (you know how it is suppose to work), since until this is fixed I will not/can not do anything with the device, I am looking for a solution. If the solution is a different ROM (or what ever else). I do not care as I have nothing into the device yet, heck I can not install any apps.
Oh, and yes I flush all the caches, I've been doing it it Android devices for some time now and know the plan when changing ROMS.
Thanks,
ERIC
No offense intended, but if you post questions regarding the ROM you're using in it's original thread you're more likely to not only getting a quicker response, but if the ROM author is decent, he'll answer your question himself/herself.
Just in case you get lost and can't find that thread, here it is for you:

I found updating to the newest Market, 3.3.11 does work, the older version which remains installed does not work still. This solution seems acceptable for now.
ERIC
ok this is a really easy fix go to this site and update the market to the new version i had the same problem but this is going to fix!
i cant post outsite links sorry bro coz im a "NOOB" but go to google and just type update android market and its the 4th link down
scroll down and download the apk file that updates the maket and install it and that should fix it
Hi guys, I'm kinda new to all this. I've read the mega-thread in the LG L3/5/7 general forum, and can't find any explanation on how to uninstall apps from my L7. I've tried many Google searches and of course searched these forums using many keywords. I'm kinda at a loss here, so I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer.
My aim is to remove all unneeded apps which came pre-installed and can't be uninstalled using the regular UI (since there's no stable version of CM and I'm not interested in exploring different mods, I just want a basic functionality device - FB, messaging apps, etc). All the pre-installed apps are making my device run r-e-a-l-l-y slow and it's driving me crazy.
What I've done so far: rooted and installed CWM, I'm able to enter the recovery mode (or whatever you call it, when you reboot the device and hold down the volume, power and home buttons...)
Now I'm looking for a way to uninstall apps, and I can't find any explanation on how to do it. When I enter recovery mode there's no option to uninstall apps and I can't find any PC software which will enable me to connect to my device and uninstall apps. Like I said, Googling and searching this forum didn't help...

why do you not try an app to delete what apps you don`t like?
try : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zsj.android.uninstall&hl=ro
Why would you use CWM to uninstall apps ? Use CleanMaster or Andromizer, these apps are free and very useful.

Hello everybody
I just updated my Nexus 4 to Lollipop 5.0.1 by wiping it and installing the factory image from Google
The most annoying bug I found is that when the UI prompts me a dialog, it doesn't work.
For example, when I try to install an APK file, this pops up (see Screenshot_2014-12-13-12-27-42.png in attachments), and I can only tap on "cancel". the "install" button doesn't work. Everything else seems to work fine, the navigation bar and scrolling the notification menu from the top of the screen give no problem whatsoever. This doesn't seem to depend on the APK file, nor on how do I send the command (I tried installing with ES file explorer, Dropbox, and an app called Easy Installer). I can't figure out a workaround, so I am unable to install APK's on the phone.
Another example are SuperSU requests (see Screenshot_2014-12-13-12-35-17.png ). Here the situation is worse: nothing in the dialog works, neither "deny", nor "grant", nor the box or the menu that read "ask again". Luckily there is an obvious workaround, as I can just open SuperSU and grant the permissions from there (the dialog in the SuperSU app seems to be proprietary and not from the Lollipop UI)
Probably useful info: I am using stock Android 5.0.1, rooted, with TWRP recovery and I installed Busybox (in /xbin).
I have no idea how to repair this. Can you give me some advice? If not, is there some workaround to the problem of installing APK's?
Thanks for the help and the attention.
P.S. This is my first post on this forum. I looked at the rules, but am new. So if I unknowingly broke some rules or posted offtopic I beg your pardon in advance. I also looked for other threads reporting the same problem, but found none.
I've read some posts where the user experienced the same or similar issues as yours. If I'm not mistaken, the issue was caused by some sort of a screen dimming software.

You were right. I was using an app called Lux 1.75 (sometimes called Lux Dash) that is an automatic screen dimmer. As soon as I stopped it, everything started working again.
Thanks a lot!

Yep- it was driving me crazy. Worked fine in KitKat but not Lollipop. Uninstalled Lux Dash and now hibernate works automatically after turning on Greenify in Accessibility.
thanks for the tip- prevented me from going crazy!!

Hello,
I am having through a major problem here. I am trying to figure how got into this and solve this problem.
I am new to android but generally and experienced user. Bought my Jiayu from vickmall pre-rooted about 4 months ago and realised that my phone if infected when random apps where installing themselves from time to time (once very two weeks eg.).
Generally I am installing Google apps only except Adway and a few other essential non google play apps.
Also I am careful with what I installed and most of apps ever download where legit (e.g facebook etc).
Thanks to SDMaid I found a virus SYSTEM app hidden from normal app explorer with the name "Pine" and package name org.slaughter.brilliant. The name itself got me very suspicious. I also noticed that "install from unknown sources" was automatically turned on each time I opening my Wifi or Data.
So I exported the apk and scanned through various online scanner giving me obviously that is harmful.
e.g anubis.iseclab org/?action=result&task_id=18ea3597ad6a61394e5335fefcbc86899&format=html
Un-installed it through SDMaid and then the nightmare came...
I am having numerous of app ads several times a day to the notifications bar or as a shortcut icons that go to google play. I see from time to time a toast says "Downloading" without having any visible result.
You realise that this is not as common as a rogue app can be, besides the fact I am acting like a paranoid at the moment ....
With SDMaid again through latest modified files I saw 3 files in the ES Explorer folder named "recomm" that had a list with all this spammy apps that I get notifications. I was quite upset and though that ES Explorer (quite known app I think) was packed with rogue apps!?. So I deleted it but nothing. Ads came again the other day.
I tried to see from what app came the ad notification "e.g Holo Launcer" by pressing the notification for a few secs. I saw that it came from trebuchet launcher...
I tried scanning my phone with avg,malwarebytes and kaspersky. I got something only with kaspersky the following file in a .kpsh folder (related to com.kpsh.sdk.KpshService of trebuchet?).
virustotal com/en/file/6871be33ba862c4594ffee60444f7cf296cb657e4f1384a27c1be6a5da0d7078/analysis/
Erased it but it seems to recreate itself again from time to time.
Also scanned trebuchet and settings app here and got these.
virustotal com/en/file/000f796f06f193f2e61eb007d374a06d3211ddb7e1facf3c386621e1f024b828/analysis/1442420388/
virustotal com/en/file/bbb2783fb9a2ad9aa94fc71d6b78179917e8669ec266cdd5758fd1e46f853bdf/analysis/1442420356/
I decided to erase the whole .kpsh folder to see if that solves the problem till now.
My mistake I believe is leaving "Unknown sources" on as it was by default and got to this mess without know what app did all this. I believe that I was going to get a warning before something got installed but unfortunately...no.
I don't know if this was prepacked or something or was totally my mistake somehow but I am slowly giving hope away.
Any suggestion would be very helpful.
Reflash the whole thing is my very very last option since I am not familiar with the process.
Thank you all for the time reading this.
Hi,
I've experienced exactly the same problem a couple of days ago. I used the Addons Detector-app to find out that the Trebuchet-app was responsible for the icon and message ads. Unfortunately it was part of the default apps and couldn't be deleted via the apps manager.
I first installed the Nova Launcher-app as a replacement for the Trebuchet Launcher 3
and activated it (Apps -> Start Page). Then I stopped the Trebuchet app, installed the Root Uninstaller-app, enabled the request of root access (Security Superuser), started the Root Uninstaller-app, chose System Apps and selected the Trebuchet Launcher-app. After pressing the delete button and confirming the root access the app was moved to the waste basket. That's it!
I found that "install from unknown sources" was several times enabled again without my action. AVG antivirus detected ap. "Education" and "Settings" ? as malware. I have frozen "Education" - it cant't uninstall, and after that unknown sources does not change it's status..
Find com.android.fallen if exists in system\app and delete it (use file explorer with root).

Same thing here but recently I got very tired and did "reflash the whole thing".
Ingredients were: Smart Phone Flash Tool, the right USB driver, a lot of RTFM and the latest 5.1.1 Beta (#4) from Jiayu Germany. Even though it is beta, I already prefer it over that bugged OS it came with.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I checked the beta #4 at virustotal, no probs!

Decided to flash to jiayu germany 5.1.1 beta 10. I managed to get the rom but the flashing tutorial I found is in german.
Do you have instructions of backup/reflash/recover or whatever in English please?

Use SP Flash Tool on your computer. If you come from KK (such as perhaps your stock ROM) and go to to LP (such as the Beta10 ROM) then it is important to choose 'firmware upgrade' in SP Flash Tool. That's because partition layout changed (LP has one extra partition, not sure what it is for). Once on LP you can choose 'download' to flash further LP upgrades. To backup/recover a ROM one typically uses a custom recovery (mostly TWRP on S3). Beta10 comes prepackaged with LP partition aware TWRP. Beta10 also has GApps, so there is no need to flash GApps on top of it.

It's a bit hard to remember my odyssey though webspace back then but I bookmarked some stuff... but here is a pretty decent recipe: some link*
The SP Flash tool was fairly easy but to use get the drivers running was problem. Tried some things without success and got lucky with the same site: some other link**
Altogether:
1. Get SP Flash tool and the right USB driver and make it work (eg. ADB driver)
2. Get the ROM
3. Choose the ".scatter"-file in SP Flash tool and flash
It's some weeks now and I also vaguely remember that the phone had to be off (well, not really sure but you'll see).
! Don't forget to check any downloaded at least with virustotal - I did that back then but the DL-links might have changed.
!! Use it at your own risk! Some kittens might get killed, or even worse: your gets bricked.
* and ** Alas, my apologies, I am not allowed yet to post links but if you google for androidxda sp flash you should find it instantly or just let me know.
Okay, I'm probably a little late for this, but hopefully this will be somewhat helpful to other people having the same problem.
I myself have purchased a Jiayu S3 Advanced a few months back: while the price is hard to beat, it comes with that ROM that sometimes starts installing "random" apps on its own. At first it was bearable, but at some point it started downloading multiple apps every day.
After some analysis (pretty much looking for data usage by different apps) I figured that the problem was with the Trebuchet launcher (which was the only app in that list that I didn't recall using - and also, why would it need Internet access?).
So, what I've done was rather straightforward: install Google Now launcher (but any other launcher should do), uninstall that other launcher. Worked like a charm!
Also, I've heard a few people complaining about this sort of problem with Chinese smartphones: watch out and consider that next time you buy a new smartphone! I know I will
Hi. I recently change my phone ROM to a custom one, after one year using the phone just as it came.
I installed Pixel Experience+, which its great, but there's two stock apps that I miss: Mi Screen Recorder and Mi security app.
Stock screen record was awesome: Just one touch on status bar to start recording, a floating button to start/stop and it let you record system audio and mic audio, choose 1080/720, 30/60 fps, etc. The Pixel experience+ one its just start/stop and nothing else, I don't even know if it's HD.
Security app was great too: Good trash cleaner, and a App Lock option by pin/fingerprint that it works great.
Is there a way to install those apps in Pixel Experience rom ? I tried to install apkmirror apks but it didn't work. Maybe it's something that it needs to be flashed. Or something that it just can't be done, that's why im asking.
Thanks!
ps: I just intalled the ROM, I didn't root the phone.
Some of them.
Short answer is NO at the moment there isnt any zip file that you flash it and boom Mi apps installed. (like the gapps) What you can do is to track & find which Mi-apps you want to install (manually).
What i had done in the past was to find the Mi Home launcher apk and the gallery i thing if you search you may find more apks but keep in mind that you can replace every single one app, just search for an alternative.

Thanks for the answer. That's bad new, I really liked those apps.
Yeah, I tried to download Screen Recorder and Mi Security apks from akpmirror and install it, but I couldn't.
I guess I'll have to try a third part app lock and screen recorder. Any suggestion?
uum... try to avoid 3rd party app lock (your custom rom may include that option already) as for screen recorder nop i dont have any suggestion. :|
**UPDATE 02/10/2020**
Im going to share with you what i found after some research on the web even tho i havent test anything yet from the sources that im going to link below. I hope it helps
