Can't Install Third Party Apps or Updates

I have been looking for a solution and it doesn't seem to be common enough to find through a search. I am having problems installing third party apks on my phone. I am using the latest WanamLite Rom and I am positive that the Unknown Sources is checked in the security settings. For amazon apps on their market app, on stand alone APKs downloaded from here or the swype beta update I can get to the install screen where cancel and install is displayed. Pressing the install button does nothing however cancel does exit out of the installation. Any ideas?

Found the culprit. For some reason the screen filter app when enabled blocks the install button.

Thanks! I was having this same problem. Weird new problem to pop up with the smearing remedy. And one I never would have figured out.

I've had the same problem!
Some apps block the install button. Only cancel is clickable, install gives no response. Weird staff. If you don't know which one is it, go and factory reset..

Scroll direction after Update

HI,
i changed the scroll direction a while ago. Everything worked fine. After the Firmware update yesterday i noticed today that the scroll direction is again the original. So i thought i go again in the regestry and do the changes again. But they where still made. I changed it back to 0 and again to 1. I rebooted, removed the touch cover and connected it again. But nothing changed.
Someone and idea??

If you're using a Surface (in which case you really should have posted this in the Surface forum, not the RT forum) try the Trackpad Settings app (free, in the store). I personally am happy to use direct registry edits instead, but that stuff is all very unofficial. An app like Trackpad Settings, which comes from Microsoft, will be supported and should work fine.

normally i like the selfe made correction in the registry more, but i just testet the app you told me. The problem is, that the app did not find my touch cover. And it's deffently connected because i'm writing these words with it.
i hope you can help me.
sorry for the wrong topic. maybe a mod can move to surface.

Yeah, it does that sometimes. Try again. If it still doesn't work, try disconnecting and reconnecting the cover whiel the app is open. Also, right from the app's Marketplace description:
"If the app doesn't detect the keyboard, do the following:
1. Make sure you have the latest updates. <instructions>
2. From the Start screen, type Devices, tap Settings, then tap Devices And Printers. Then tap refresh three times. (Yes, it actually says this.)

tryed all this but nothing happens

After the latest update for the Touch pad app, it now wokrs.

"Unfortunately, Home has stopped"

I am getting this error message essentially making the phone useless. I got notification I had an update on Friday. It auto updated, I installed it, it rebooted, and this message continuously pops up and I cant use anything. Factory reset did nothing, and the only semi work around is I was able to get Nova Launcher on there. It semi works but the message comes up every time I lock and unlock the phone.
Nobody seems to know the answer to what the hell this is or what happened but I need someone who is smarter than I to help me fix it please. Any advice is very much appreciated. Phone is unrooted.
Thanks in advance.

Go to setting, General, Apps, All Apps, and fine "Home". Clear cache and reboot.

tried that, it didn't seem to work. Is there something I'm missing? Do certain apps cause this?

Having the same issue right after updating to 6.0; clearing cache didn't work for me either. I suppose I'll try a different launcher in the meanwhile.

"Unfortunately, Home has stopped
I am now rooted using the video instructions from ROOT JUNKY, but I am getting this error message "Unfortunately, Home has stopped" I went to the Apps setting and resets app preference and also clear the home cache but to no effect. i am able to get the simple home setting but not the other advance home setting. please help if you can. Thanks inadvance
LG G4 H815

Problem solved for Lg G4. Go to Settings, General, Apps swipe left to "All" then scroll down to "HOME" not easy home. Open it and clear cache and also "clear data" you will get a warning message when you try to clear data, but that's ok. I was afraid to do this but it works for me, It will only clear and Home screen preference or shortcut you had. You can setup your preferred shortcuts after again. restart and select "Home" as your default. Let me know if this helps

Think not.. Still home crashes
Nope, that's not a fix. All it did was wreck my app placements and settings.. Nothing else. Immediately after clearing the cache and data it crashed exactly the same way.
Home has stopped is becoming increasingly annoying, and also increasing in frequency. I'm going to try Uninstalling the app update that started it all: Voice Mate 4.70.10.
I'll see if this works. If so I'll post here. If not, consider this an open thread and hopefully someone in the G4 community with some skills and knowledge will find a solution.

Anyone found a solution to this problem?

Unfortunately home has stopped!!!!!!!!!

If you have an LG G4 you may have seen this message and waited for the home screen to re-start again, only to happen again and again, I’ve searched all the forums to no avail, so I installed another home screen to got rid of the problem, now have a permanent fix, you have to disable Smart Bulletins:
Go to apps, hit menu, select home screen settings, turn off Smart Bulletins.

S4 Mini LTE with Lineage keeps crashing after SMS

I have the latest Lineage 14.1 on my S4 Mini all seems to be fine except that it crashes and then reboots from time to time. This seems to be happening after sending SMS messages, but not always. I did have this problem before with the stock OS, so probably not Lineage specific but as it's still happening, I'm guessing a setting somewhere that needs to be looked at?
Thanks

The LineageOS [st]advanced[/st] reboot menu on my S4 Mini doesn't work at all, a long press of the power button performs a soft reboot, rather than opening the options, when "advanced restart menu" is selected in Developer Options.
Also, selecting "kill app back button" long press option soft reboots the device when the foreground app is killed and I land on my home screen. Long pressing back while already on the home screen on its own also performs a soft reboot, btw. Rather than simply restarting the launcher.
Both options need to be unchecked for me and I now use different methods(3rd party apps) to achieve their results.
Maybe your issue is related? Try unchecking those two options and re-testing...
*Edit: Even without Advanced Restart Menu checked, my device only ever performs a soft reboot, regardless of which option, even Power Off, is chosen. Just tested.
I usually use NEO Power Menu for Xposed, anyway, but disabling these and retesting still produces only a soft reboot, for every option.

Thanks for those ideas, on my phone I have 'Advanced Restart' checked and it's working, or at least the option to boot into recovery does. The 'kill app back button' option was unchecked. I've changed my sms app to Signal to see if it makes any difference.
I did read somewhere else outside XDA about some call settings that could be changed, but I can't find that link any more.

* Update to clarify my above posts; I've resolved the Power Menu issues I was having on 14.1 to be related to Substratum Legacy System overlays. Uninstalling Substratum overlays on my device returns the full functionality of my reboot menu and Power button.
It does not, however, fix the long-press Back button to kill foreground app issue I mentioned. It still force-closes the System and performs a soft restart on my device, without overlays installed.
I've since went back to the I9195-LineageOS-15.1-experimental build by Arco, which by *far and large*, has simply the best battery life of any custom build I have used available here. The various missing features, in my case, can easily be overlooked, as most can be implemented via various 3rd party methods, and are definitely worth sacrificing in the meantime for such a battery life.
I've thought for months that my hardware has been on its last legs because of really over-excessive battery drain whilst using various different custom ROMs.
Resurrection Remix would be my OS of choice but I really can't justify using that fantastically feature-rich OS any longer on this handset, not after using the above LOS 15.1 build and remembering what it was like not to have to charge my battery every time I was near a power source. It's absolutely great!
* Sorry for the off-topic blurb, this was meant to be just a quick update about the overlays/Power Menu issue... :/

Few issues after update

Hi all
I have updated to Android 10 two days ago, and this was a bad idea to hit that update button.
First of all - I can save files to Downloads folder only by using build in miui browser, all other browsers (i checked Chrome, Brave, MS Edge) can save files to /Android/data/<package_name>, and Brave browser even can't save files, because it shows message, that "SD card storage is unavailable". It looks like third party browsers don't have access to storage, but after installing them I have granted access to memory.
Second thing is - because of problem with saving, I tried to factory reset, and after that reset many of apps was changed to worse: home screen had option to change from "standard" to "app drawer mode" but now it's only "app drawer mode" and there is no switch of this, and there is a switch for standard mode that turns on "search by swipe up" and it's turned on, but nothing is happening because of app drawer. Build in browser before reset had new "dark mode" and now it's gone. And also first issue is still in place.
Need to mention, that It's Global version, with locked bootloader - so it's not problem with any root or modifications of system.
Do any one have same issues? Or some solution for this?
Because first issue with saving from browser is for me not acceptable, and I need to fix it somehow.
