It happens if you are using some screen adjusting app like Screen Adjuster. You will have to turn it off to make the install option activate.
AppWidgetDisplay
Also AppWidgetDisplay for Sony Smartwatch causes such behavior.
I wish saw this a few months ago

Yup, I have a Note 2 - the OLED screen can be problematic for my artwork without toning down the red. I imagine I'm not the only artist to use a Note as a quick and dirty, extemporaneous and backup portfolio.
Sure enough "Screen Adjuster" which allows RGB color balancing also makes the Install button unclickable when directly installing APKs. Drove me nuts - always found a temporary solution - rebooting, stopping Play Services, clearing caches for Services and the Play app (plus Aptiode, etc.) but these were hit and miss. Turned it off and it worked without any other hoops to jump through.
Glad I came across this - I don't usually install APKs at this point as my Note 2's apps/uses are pretty stable at this point, but for those days when you have 15 Xposed Framework APKs to install... and. clicking! stabbing! the damn! install button. does. nothing. ...yeeesh.
Figured this out from an Phandroid thread that listed similar apps:
Easyeyez Screen Filter
Twilight Filter
...and other screen dimming filter apps. The post is long because it's been a hassle for a long time... and hopefully to make it a bit easier for someone to find, including the above apps.
God that was annoying. Now to fix my memleak/lag issues.
Rotation manager is causing this too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405849
Echo Lock Screen was the culprit for me.
Happened to me a few times I reboot and if that doesnt work then I clear the caches. Its been a while since I have seen that.
Wow unimaginable
This is unimaginable. Who could think something like a display app (Twilight for me) could create such a condition.
I checked and checked my security settings to confirm I have set the option "to install from unkown sources". I also tried various developer options, but all futile! Also tried rebooting the phone! Nothing worked :crying: until I hit this post! :laugh:
Lots and lots of thanks to this post. I can now turn of the Twilight app and install other apps.

@fernandovg did you ever find a solution or alternative app for this? if it wasn't for your post about this, i'd still be scouring the internet for answers to button functionality being broken. Also, did you experience any apps that you allowed to rotate not rotating? ie - i set chrome, youtube, reddit, any other app i may view video in to enable rotation so i can have full screen, but that function was broken too the app worked 100% for the first while i had it installed then just crapped out on me for some reason. I messaged the creator of the app for a response so i'll see where that takes me. did you notice malfunction around the time of flashing any roms with stagefright patches by chance? it's the only thing i can think of that was out of the ordinary that i did around the time i notice malfunction. thanks for your input.
wave unlock
i had the same issue, stopped Wave Unlock - app using sensor to wake up my phone (screen on). it worked
Also lux can do this

Do you install any "Screen Filter"? If the the app install, try to disable the screen filter first, then try install the apk.

Hi,
My friend also faced the same problem, and then he asked me if I could help him fix this.
Then I made some research, and finally I was able to find a solution to this problem.
Solution:
1. If you use any application "Screen Filter" , please disable the screen filter.
2. Then you try to install the application, then re-enable your screen filter. (It is up to you whether you want to re-enable or not, if enabled you should turn off your screen filter if you want to install an apk.
Press Thanks if I helped.

I was running the app Screen Adjuster to make my screen on my Note 2 just a little warmer and it seemed to work for that.
I found later that I could not install an app copied from another device that should install. I just thought the app could have been corrupted and went on without it. Then I could not install a new app from Amazon. So after doing some checking settings and so forth I decide to reinstall the Amazon Appstore app and the newly downloaded Amazon Appstore app would not install either.
I knew something weird was going on. I did some searching and found nothing pertaining to the Note 2 for the problem. I did find a thread about the Nexus 7 on Android Central Forums where someone had a similar problem. B. Diddy posted that he had found screen filters could cause installation problems. I remembered I was using the app Screen Adjuster on my Note 2. Once I removed the app Screen Adjuster app everything installed as it should.
So thanks B. Diddy
This is to give warning to help others.
Weird.
I already knew about this. There are some comments at the Play Store. What I always do when installing new apks, I just turn it off first then install any new app and turn it on back...solve the problem...
Yup, this also happens with Screen Filter app. Just turn the app off, install, then turn app back on.
Thanks for the heads up, was looking for an app to change some display parameters. Hopefully this can push my screen to the cooler side of colors.

That is fine if you remember what is causing the problem.:fingers-crossed: It is something that may allow me to be willing to try screen adjuster again as it does seem to work.
Anyone else having this issue? Every time I open it, I get a blank screen and then the error message. Any solutions?

go into app manager and clear data and wipe cache?? try that
Tried it, to no avail. After performing around factory reset & reinstalling everything, I finally found the culprit. It was the multi window mod which lets you use all the apps in multi window.
All problems started after its install. Even the phone started to lag and give random force closes. Got rid of the mod and all is back to normal again.

Fixed S Health; Reset Flash Binary? Maybe????
I seriously don't know how I did this I was just tinkering around trying to get this to work and I got it!!!!!! I actually hope that this can help others I'm gonna try to walk you through what I did. You will need Titanium backup PRO and a be on your original ROM as I have the ME7 build and have not flashed any ROMs yet. Oh speaking of that while doing these steps I think I reset the flash binary because the "custom" unlock screen is gone now to. I still can't get the stock music app working though. This issue actually started when I transferred a full TB file to a brand new phone. When I first changed it I changed the Android ID to a new one, I think this is where the issue starts. I had apps from anothers ROM (Phone) on a new ROM, and my Android ID was changed.
So here's what I did. I'll start where i'm sure I know it started working and that's after I was able to get to the deeper features of TB.
1. Menu>Your Device...(Make sure you have your original bakcup that has the settings you transferred in, if not your probably out of luck)>scroll down the Your device section>Manage Android ID>
I attempted to restore my ID to the backup and it told me that was the ID>
I figured what the heck and changed the ID to a new one and rebooted...after rebooting I went back into TB....it gave me the warning for having a new ID I told it to keep the old one (can't quite remember the wording but it's the one on the right...last time I told it to keep the new one.)
I then cleared dalvik cache, the beauty of TBP without a custom ROM
Menu>>storage>>clean up dalvik cache.
Once again I removed the S Health App, reinstalled and rebooted. When booting I noticed the Samsung "custom" unlock screen was gone as well.
I tapped that little s health button and after an agonizing wait, it has RETURNED!!!!! UPDATING!!! YEAH!!!!
Now I can't guarantee these steps will work for you but if it does that would be awesome. Has anyone figured out an easy way like that to reset the flash binary?

I had the same issue on my Note 4, i notice that if you uninstall the last update to Shealth, it works under art.
Hi, I have a stock Note 2 with Android 4.3.
Since a while I am unable to install apk's.
Also the turned off display does not power on when pulling out the pen.
I have never used the playstore and the device is not rooted.
I have no idea why.
Check if you installed any app related to screen brightness or wichever is related to display..

Ok, I just deactivated this app (it was actually luxlite). Now I can install apps again.
But why is that since I installed many apps after installing luxlite.
Pen still not working on turned off display. Could this be caused by another app?

Hello Sir,
There is application download all files for Androids. You can search it on Google. If you can't then ask me to provide you direct link for that application. It will allow you to download any kind of file on your Android. Got me?
I reinstalled lux and it is blocking the installation again. Anyone knows a free alternative for that?
Hi everyone,
Can't push the a "Allow" button when an app asks for a permission. (any apps)
Is it a known issue ? or it can be fixed somehow ?
Thanks again,
Do you have any apps running that do things like dim your screen or changed the color? Many of those are known to interfere with the package installer which I think comes into play when you press those buttons.
No,
The phone has been Factory reset lately....

There is an app overlaying that is causing the issue.
Go to:
Settings > Apps > Configure apps (cog button at the top) > Special access > Draw over other apps
(note the path may be different on your phone, this is how its done on android N)
Turn off Permit drawing over other apps for the apps listed. Do it one by one. Between turning it off for each app, check and see if you can hit "OK" for new permissions.

So? The settings are the same just located in a slightly different location. Do yourself a favor and look for it in the settings of your phone.
Like the XDA noob that I am, I googled it for you and found that the setting is in the same location for MM the it is for N.
Go, flip the switches...

I wonder if you did it right. So, to clarify, you denied all of the apps listed in the Draw over other apps menu the ability to draw over other apps? All switches to the left and grayed out? Then you tried to open an app that requests some kind of permission? The permission dialog opened but you were still unable to select "Allow"?
Had similara behavior. In my case it was the File Manager HD app.
Only appeared after OTA back to M from N preview.
I have had my 10 for some time now & have of course charged it several times. Well last night for the first time when I plugged my 10 in I was presented with this new screen I have never seen before? Enclosed is the screen shot. I have used nothing but the orginal cord & charger it came with and nothing else. Before this screen started doing this it would just show the red led light and that was it. Can someone tell me what this is and if I can modify this somewhere in the settings? If I do change anything will I still be getting the fast charging that I have grown to love? Iam still stock running next launcher & a few zooper widgets is all. There is nothing within next launcher or zooper settings regarding this? Anyone have any idea?
Iam also wondering where the ads within this new screen come from as well if someone could answer that as well?
definitely a third party app adding lock screen ads. Es file manager or something.
Delete an app or two and keep going until it stops.
