[Q] Unable to install 3rd-Party Apps CM12 i9195 - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Can't Install/uninstall Winamp

Hey Guys,
I need your help. Long time ago I installed winamp 1.2.9 on my device but yesterday I've noticed that there is no shortcut listed to start the App.
So I tried to figure out why. I tried to install the apk file again but it fails telling Install not being successful.
I tried the newer version of Winamp on the Market but again install fails telling Not Compatible update!
I tried to locate the Winamp Files in System Folder an deleted them successfully. But again the same problem.
Tried to wipe cache and dalvik --> Boot loop
Is there a way to clean deinstall the App manually in order to re install the new version?
Using Kindle Stock ROm ver. 6.3.1 rooted
Thank you so much in advance

part of the problem may lie in the fact that your using rooted stock dunno? have you tried something like root uninstaller pro? to remove the app also I hate to say this to everyone as a fix sometimes it does work out for the better truthfully I have never see it not but you can flash modaco found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 right over your existing system without wiping that might clear up any chances of permission issues as far as removing an app. As far as updating an app just because it shows available doesnt mean that it is for your device compatibility issues are usually that way for a reason maybe it doesnt like gingerbread?? but there is another option you could always just sideload it instead and see if it takes and functions correctly good luck
I have provided my dropbox link to you in a pm give it a shot doesn`t mean that the icon will show in your apps though

[Help] HTC Desire - JB 4.3 - Gapps doesnt work

Hello =)
Short problem. I installed a new JB 4.3 version on my HTC Desire.
ROM: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2396747)
The ROM works fine, everything is smooth besides the problem with GAPPS. Installtion is succesful, but after after loading the ROM, no google Apps to see. I used the version mentioned in the thread, I tried the official PA Gapps, but nothing happens.
I cant define a google account for my device, not the usual stuff about "sync data", nothing. I have the google search bar... thats all. With the small official gapps version.
I got only one warning during the installation: No file_contexts
any idea?

Using a Root file explorer, go to "system/app". Are the Gapps there? Do they have the right permissions?
Rom comes without a file manager and without gapps, no makret. So no.
But I guess the ROM and my Phone have a problem in this combination. I tried severall 4.3 gapps versions and always the same.
Mad now ;(
Other roms work perfect, with gapps.

Hi Knallkopp, can you please tell me if you tried to install the full gapps or the slimmed version (if you don't know: is the size of the zip 40 or 170mb).
I assume you used the full version right now. If so, please make sure your device is S-OFF and your sd-ext is at least 256 mb (I'd definitely suggest > 512mb).
Otherwise, you can check the /sd-ext/gapps/ folder (if it's empty: good, otherwise: bad ). I'd suggest using AROMA FM. Put the zip on /sdcard and open in recovery.
well, I'll take this thread to expose my problem that also envolves Paranoidandroid, but the version 3.68.
I installed this like the previous ROMs (i've made this process dozens of times), but after i digit my pin code, shws to me the message error "Unfortunately, the launcher has been stopped" and then i cant go to mainscreen.
ANyone had this problem?

[Q] CM11 - "Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID"

[Q] CM11 - "Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID"
Okay... sd_shadow, I promise this will be the last edit and I'll find a way to use up those other posts!
After the hooplah that was yesterday, managed to get CM11 (06/14 Nightly build) and GApps (gapps-444-base-20150617-1-signed) on my Kindle Fire. It WORKS. Until I go to install an app, specifically Google Calendar. Then I get this error during installation:
Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I installed Slack on the device, so now I KNOW it has something to do with the existing calendar app on the device. Any way around this? Is there a ROM for Google Calendar I could install to replace the stock calendar app?
I don't know, but you're not helping yourself by starting a new thread , every time you have a new problem.
Please change the thread title then post your new problem.
So I managed to get it working by installing Calendar from an APK and decided that's probably the best way to go from now on if I have any issues like this again. So everything works! But now I'm finding that I installed the wrong GApps... I installed the full version when I should have done the minimal version. How can I go about installing that without breaking everything again?
EDIT: Installed Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x and now gapps is constantly crashing. Calendar will still open, YouTube crashes.

I tried this and it was still crashing. I ended up doing a clean install of CM11 and the minified GApps they provide a link to, and I install my apps via APKs now... I've had no issues with the device since! It's so great to have a full functioning tablet in this lil' guy!

Snapchat, Snapchat, Snapchat....help please

So, i've used Snapchat on both
Stock (5.1.1 - Oi1 Rom) and Custom Rom (Renegade)
I can't seem to get it to work on the custom rom, i've always had to use the stock rom and it would work just fine, but on the other it would say "temporarily logged out" or something different, but when i boot back to stock, its fine and doesn't hesitate to say that.
Am i missing something here?? i've already tried resetting my password 5 times to be sure.
Snapchat 9.1.17.1.0 -- Xposed Snapprefs 1.6.2
Snapchat and Root
I don't use Snapchat, but this might explain your issue:
http://www.xda-developers.com/snapchat-is-at-it-again-and-blocks-root-users-but-for-how-long/
Snapchat detects Root and stops working, XDA builds a work-around into Xposed, Snapchat puts out a new patch and repeat.
Found something new: Try updating to Snapprefs 1.6.4. And you will find more help here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-snapprefs-ultimate-snapchat-utility-t2947254
Thank you!
I've actually ended up researching and figuring it outmyself my way or work around.
Snapchat checks or scans to see if "Xposed" which leads me to not log in.
So in order to use Snapchat with Snapprefs or 3rd party, you would need to either
Install stock and root it, then log into snapchat with the latest version and then go to recovery to install xposed.
or
Install stock and root then boot to recovery to install the custom rom and do no install xposed framework.
Once done with booting up and setting up, install snapchat latest version, log into it and then install xposed.
once thats done download 'xinstaller' and check to enable downgrading and updating and then install 'snapprefs' for all the
juicyness of customizations.
Profit!
My configuration.
Snapchat -
9.17.1.0
Xposed -
75 wanam 20151008 - seems to work best for me on both roms instead of v79.
Snapprefs -
1.6.2

I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.

They make a silly app with an unenforceable premise, the app sucks and they block third-party alternatives, their security is awful, their background data drain is known to go nuts, and now they are blocking root users so they can better charge you for replays??
But still they can't tame the root..

Having continuous reboots while installing some of the apps

When installing some of the apps like IFTTT,adapticons and greenify(the most imp. app for this phone ) the phone starts rebooting and stuck on the boot image the only solution i could find is either formatting phone or deleting app data from file manager with the help of TWRP.The phone starts rebooting when the app just finished downloading from play store and starts installing.And i try to install the same apps from external source it happens again but the difference is only that this time a message prompt arrives and says play store stopped working.It happens in all the ROMS. I have tried to clear the whole internal storage(excluding recovery,obviously ) but the issue doesn't get fixed...
What can i do to solve this problem?
did you manage to solve it?

The solution
The only Marshmallow Rom without this issue is AOSP rom, but If you still wanna use other 6.0 Rom you will have to use older version of apps which are causing bootloops.
Also Nougat Rom's don't have this problem but I don't find them stable enough for daily use.

This happens for the "Android System Webview" apk. To solve this issue, here's a step by step guide:
1. Download Android System Webview by Google. (Not from play store. Must be downloaded as an APK)
2. Delete Current Webview with a root browser. (Es file explorer recommended. Located in system/apps/webview.)
3. Reboot device.
4. Now Install the new webview you downloaded.
Problem solved.
Tested and working successfully. Android 5.0.2 , 5.1, 6.0 All ROM with this issue is.... fixed with this method. Tested on all ROMs.
Enjoy.
---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------
The webview implements a code into the system to properly show the app package to system UI. But the default Android System Webview which comes with the system is kinda bugged. It conflicts with some apps package. This conflict mess up the system... crashing the UI, then the whole system itself. So the device reboots and/or gets stuck in bootloop. Removing the preinstalled webview will solve the issue. I have posted the step by step guide above.
