Hello,
Since the KitKat update, I can't install APKs any more. Install from unknown sources is checked in the settings, but when I try to install an APK, the install button is blocked. I also don't have any screen adjuster or anything like it installed. Please help me quickly :fingers-crossed:

hm.. my first thought after unknown sources would be a program that does a graphic overlay, but you alreay looked at that. look here?
Yeah, I already uninstalled every program that makes a screen overlay.
OK, I found a workaround in that thread. I connected my keyboard and was able to select the install button. Thanks mate.
But the button is still inaccessible with the touchscreen, so I need a real solution

I flashed my rom from CM10.1 nightly to LiquidSmooth 2.7 Official today I've noticed some issues with it. First being the USB Mass Storage device doesn't seem to work. The second issue seems to be I am unable to install apps from it's APK. Installing through the play store works.
I'm not getting any error messages. When I use the file manager or app installer to locate the APK. it sees it. But when I try to press the install button. Nothing happens. I can Cancel the installation, but I want to install the program.
Edit: I figured out the APK issue. The HALO widget thing or whatever its called somehow disabled the install button
Please help,
Thanks!

Turn off halo...
Problem solved

How?
How do you turn off halo?
I've Samsung galaxy note 2. Updated to 4.4.2. Rooted. Response screen of root checker attached for reference.
I'm trying to install the xposed framework. I've downloaded latest apk file. When I try to install the framework on clicking the apk file, the installer starts and shows the informative screen (screens hot attached). However, the install button at the bottom does not click - seems to be disabled. The cancel button cancels the process.
I've enabled unknown sources under security. I've tried with stopping and disabling the anti virus programmes - Avast and AVG.
What should I check? What am I missing?
I've explored the threads with similar subject, but could not find anything that would help. If this question is already answered, please point to appropriate link.
Thanks,
Vikas Garud.
this is weird and should not be as you have attached ss showing that your device is rooted. can you install other APKs? if yes, then this exposed installer maybe not supporting to the android version, try after upgrade, make it 4.4.3.
Can not install any apk
Thanks Niton for the pointer. I checked with few more apk's. And the problem continues. I'm unable to install any apk. System information shows about 470 MB free RAM and 1.47 GB free storage. (I haven't installed KNOX).
What else can/should I check?
Thanks,
Vikas Garud.
PS: I had installed from apk's in the past. I am not sure when this behaviour started.
Vikas Garud.
You better flash a pre rooted stock firmware and why you are still on 442? It's 444 time.
How do I migrate to stock ROM
Thanks Nitol for the suggestion. I'd certainly like to upgrade to 4.4.4 and further, as and when it becomes available. So far, I haven't done that since I use S-Note a lot and quite a lot of data exists under that application. I may be wrong, but I read that S-Note will work with Samsung ROM's. Any suggestions on migration from that app?
Any detailed guide/pointers/links to the process of getting and flashing pre-rooted stock ROM?
Thanks,
Vikas Garud.
Do you have any screen filters activated? If so, it disables your phone from registering the install button on apks so remember to disable your screen filters during installation of apks!

What is a screen filter?
Thanks Epic_salamence for the pointer. Pardon my ignorance, but what is a screen filter? I haven't installed any "Screen Filter" on purpose. However, any of the installed Apps may be functioning as one. How do I recognise it? Any example of "Screen Filter" would help me in narrowing down the culprit.
Do the screen filters selectively disable the install button? The cancel button adjacent to the install button is
Sorry for the late reply but a screen filter is an application which helps your phone to further decrease screen brightness to optimise battery life and yeah, all screen filter apps disables your phone from registering the "install button' when installing apks. I had that problem too when installing xposed module but luckily my friend notified me about the screen filters. Oh yeah go to Google play store and search "screen filter" and you'll see an app called screen filter you might wanna check it out
It worked - kind of
Thanks Epic_salamence for the pointers. This kind of worked.
I searched through the play store for the screen filters and disabled all the apps installed on my phone. Did not work. So I un-installed them. Did not work.
Then I disabled the "copy bubble" app, even though it was not under "screen filters", but hey, it was on screen. And it worked. The install button was enabled and I could install Xposed framework and some modules.
Next stop, flashing of ROM!
Thanks, once again.
Hahahha glad I could help! Have fun flashing ROMs!
Hello, first of all I'd like to apologise if this is not the correct forum to ask about this.
Essentially, I have CM12 on my i9195, it worked perfectly fine for a period of time, but for some reason I am unable to install 3rd-party (non-play store) apps.
I am running the newest (20150206) nightly, and I have unknown sources enabled.
Furthermore, I've already done my fair share of googling, and no I am not using any kind of screen filter app, and I have sufficient memory.
Whenever I attempt to install an apk, it just comes up with 'app not installed' - nothing more.
I have also attempted to install through the terminal (using pm install /storage/emulated/0/Download/app.apk), which resulted in 'Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]'.
I am completely new to any sort of android related things, so I have no clue how to solve this.
I'd be grateful if someone was able to help me out here.
Cheers
What app were you trying to install.
Usually the error occurs when the package name of the app u are trying to install is same as a preinstalled system app.
I was attempting to install a modded version of Snapchat (without installing any other version of it before).
Only thing that I came up with was moving the apk to its folder in system/app/.
However, the error comes up with with any other app as well, and to say the least moving the apps each time and changing the permissions is slightly inconvenient.

Try recovery and clearing cache and dalvik. Then when you boot up do nothing but make sure allow unknown sources is ticked, then go to filemanager and just install?
There could also be a problem with the modded snapchat version. Try redowning and older or newer version to see if that works.

I really hoped it wouldn't come to that, but I did to a full format, which did not help at all.
It is an issue with not only snapchat, but all of the 3rd apps I tried to install.
I guess it might just be an issue with the ART runtime or something, and for now I'll just be converting essential 3rd parties to system apps.
@MedzikPL Did you try to install those apks on other roms. To see if they are working there. That points towards cm12. Which nightly are you running. I will flash cm12 today and i will try to reproduce the problem you are facing. Also give me link to snapchat download.
Very strange. Well I'm on latest nightly and all my 3rd party apps install fine. Can't be runtime. Please post a link to the nodded Snapchat and I will give it a go.

This is the mod, but as I said earlier I am generally unable to install non play store apps through the built-in installer.
Simultaneously, I did manage to get them to work by putting them in /system/app/ though, and they run just fine as I can tell.
After 20150208-NIGHTLY I am able to install apps, thread is for closure

Are you using Xposed? If so, look up the "NoOverlayWarning" module in the repo.

Is it a modified app? eg cracked adfree etc - The chances are the dex part of the apk is not compatible with the firetv and so it won't install and obviously no help will be given here for such apps
Also it might not install if you have previous version installed (if the signature is different)
