I faced the same issue. I installed "Aptoide" first and then installed official "Youtube" Appplication using Aptoide. Working perfectly. Hope this helps

Not install as normal apk, use root manager and push it to /system/app, mount r/w then change permission to rw-r--r--

Cannot install system apps

I've spent hours upon hours working on this phone, and i've tried basically every solution I could find:
Below I'll type a more detailed list of troubleshooting i've tried but currently my main issue is that I deleted my systems.apk file, after trying a recovery none of the files in my system/app folder are actually installed and if i try to install them it tells me I can't because they aren't market apps, but because I have no settings menu I can't allow non market apps to be installed. If I can find a way to install non-market apps without selecting the option from the settings menu I might be able to solve this issue.
More information:
This is an "old" phone that i recently turned on to used and found it was full of bloatware, adware apps so I rooted to delete some of it and it seems in the process I managed to delete the settings.apk file. I installed CWM & rom manager, tried to run a recovery through that (Can not run a factory reset because i have no settings menu and the hard reset does not work) and when I booted up my phone, I kept getting an error message that vzw setup wizard stopped unexpectedly, the only option was force close and as soon as I hit it it would come back up. eventually someone texted me and I realized when I had a notification and plugged in my phone I could get to the text message-through the text message menu I added my gmail account, and emailed myself the google play store URL and was able to gain access to the store. Using the store I installed Go Lancher EX and then had an (almost) functioning phone- I have to be careful not to back out of Go launcher or I'll have to send myself an email so I can get back into the store and finally back into go launcher. I had my boyfriend send me the settings.apk file from his phone, and could not copy it into settings/apps because it was read-only, so i tried downloading an app that would allow me to change permissions and realized it would not install any .apk files. I then started selecting some of the apps already in system/apps and none of them are installed- It will not let me install them because they are not technically market apps.
Other things I tried:
SUES: Tells me my phone is up to date and will not do anything more.
PC companion: Tells me there is no software available for my device.
Android commander: Gets stuck on "loading" and won't actually start up.
Flash tool: Tried two different stock ROMS, always gives me this error message: "Sin header verification failed" (Yes, I selected the option to not do a final verification"
How can I force my phone to install the system apps ?

Look for a developer who can make a flashable zip including system.apk and setting.apk for you, then flash it from CWM.

I tried flashing two .ftf files, flashtools gives me the "sin header verification failed" error message. I'm unfamiliar with flashable zips- will that get around my flashtools problem? Should I send you just settings.apk and systemUI.apk?
Thank you !
Edit:
I've done some reading about flashable zips and it seems pretty promising, thank you!
I've attatched a zip file with systemui.apk from my phone and settings.apk from my boyfriends phone- he doesn't have an xperia play, if that makes a difference.
Also, I don't know how much of an effect this would have with flash tools but because I can't get into my settings, I also can't turn on USB debugging.

[Q] Installing an APK without Internet or Wifi on a R800X on 2.3.3

Hi, is there any way to install an apk file from a 2.3.3 R800X without internet or Wifi.
This firmware includes the apk installer but no file manager so i cannot open any apk since i cannot find a way to explore the SD card contents and run it.
Mi R800X doesnt has any kind of internet access and i factory reseted it so i need a way to install my apps to it.
Thanks.

You can install apk's from flashtool if you don't have flashtool here is link download and install http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1362062884000 When you have flashtool setup (make sure usb debugging & install from unkown sources is selected on phone) put your apk in folder windows/flashtool/custom/apps obviously download the apk to your PC first :goodlug in your phone leave switched on run flashtool wait for it to gain root access then click Apk installer the one with a arrow to the right a folder window will pop up chose your apk and wait while it flashes done.I recommend your first apk to install be a file manager so you can explore your phone lol:good:If you need to root your phone follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201725:)
You can also use ADB to install apps.
Code:
adb install /path/to/app.apk

Walkman dont show or installs

Hi Ahmedoov and thanks for this.
I renamed the file extention from .zip to .apk, however when trying to install it, it pops up with error message 'There was a problem while parsing the package'. Do you get the same issue installing it?
Thanks
