Cannot sideload apk

I cant seem to side load any apk. It wont allow me to press install but I can press cancel. Any ideas?

Cleared package manager cache and Fix permissions worked for me.

Thanks. I'm not rooted so I guess I will have to factory reset. This is really odd. Never had this happen on any of my android devices so it got me stumped.

I rooted and flashed cwm. Clearing dalvik and cache along with change permission didnt fix it. Had to factory reset and was able to side load. Gonna restore my files back via TB and hopefully it wont happen again.

Did you allow unknown sources?

A different browser? Not sure what you mean but I used ES File Explorer and Astro File Manager to side load.

use ex file manager and find the game .. usually its will be under android/obb or data
find the file and delete it
i think that will be fine after
unless the game is online ...

Doesnt google backup game saves and data like that for some apps? If so it might be installing back when you redownload it

Deleted my clock/alarm apk..

Well I was deleting stuff to clean up and ended up deleting it by mistake. But I downloaded the apk and it wont install, I even pushed it to the application folder in the system part of the phone and it doesnt work. What do I do?
Also if I factory reset do I lose root? Im on stock jb rom and kernel, just rooted. Thanks guys

You shouldn't loose root by a factory reset, how did you install the rom if you flashed it the.apk can be taken out of the zip file using root explorer or an app like root explorer the apk you downloaded may not be compatible I'm going too upload my apk and ill post the link in a second you can't just click to install the apk has too be put into system/app folder
Here is the link

Don't factory reset, because it won't fix your problem. Factory reset doesn't touch the system partition, where the file was deleted from.
Make sure after you copy the file to the system partition, then set permissions for the file, otherwise it won't work. Using root explorer, set permissions so that they are the same as all the other apps in the apps folder.
Then reboot and that should fix your problem.

Thanks guys, I installed using rootexplorer and it worked!

Read-only file system?

Hi, I am running aokp milestone 1 on my T989, but I am having trouble mounting the system as writable. I have tried changing permissions using root browser and ES file explorer but I get an error "changing permissions was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes"
The strange thing is that it worked before.
I also tried using mobile terminal but it says read-only file system.
Does anyone know why I can't make system files writable or how to fix this?

there are more than one way to mount system to r/w ...easiest is install an app called mount/system rw/ro
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app

I tried that app and a few similar ones. It says it's mounted r/w and in ES file explorer if I long press the system folder it says rwx rwx rwx, however all of the files and folders within /system are still rw- r-- r-- and can't be modified.

while on recovery there is an option to mount system in r/w mode
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app

Thanks. Yes, I've done it before in recovery mode, but is there a way to do it without having to go into recovery? I'm just confused because this has never happened to me with aosp-based roms, only with TW-based roms. Could it be that there is something leftover from a TW rom that I need to wipe? I first noticed the problem when I tried out a TW rom and then went back to aokp by wiping data, cache, and dalvik cache and restoring from nandroid backup. I might try reflashing aokp.

some roms misbehave....u might have to reflash that rom after clearing cache...etc
Or...clean install will def fix it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app

Thanks for your help. Just an update for anyone else who may have the same problem, I wiped cache and dalvik cache (did not wipe data), reflashed aokp, gapps and radio, and now everything is back to normal.

I had this as well but after installing a rom
Ways i fixed my problem
Replaced the apk with a stock one(semcmusic.apk) wiped dalvik and cache after replacing apk
Reinstalling rom wiping data and cache
Using a stock rom with my own mods
Im quite sure the apk is the cause of the issue

I've downloaded a lot of apps and games that has data so I don't like to wipe data and cache
Sent from my Xperia Slow LT26i

Back up and try reflashing and resetting for a day or two and then if you have this issue then you know its the SemcMusic.apk
Delete the apk
Reboot recovery
Wipe dalvik and cache
Copy a apk working or stock apk to your system or
To the flashable zip (use xplore from google play)
Reflash wipe dalvik and cache
And if the problem still is there then use a different rom and if still persists then you will have to do a data wipe
Try exploring
What ive told you here is ways i fixed my problem or ways i would fix
Someone else may be able to help you
