Cannot install APK file on Unrooted Note 8 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

I started getting full screen pop-up ads so I begin trying to figure out which app was causing. I uninstalled a few including my Zenui Launcher which I loved!!! I found the problem app and tried reinstalling Zenui launcher from APK Mirror with Unknown sources allowed and the new per app permission turned on. The APK file is on my SD card in "my files" and it runs, acts like it is installing then gives me a message of "application not installed" anyone else have this issue lately? I loved that launcher... it allowed me to organize my Apps into categories.

Weird bug in Market installations

I'm having a problem with Market installations. When I start download an app from Market...ok ok, from Google Play , in notification bar, there'll be two icons after the download has completed, the one that says app is installed(if I click it, it'll take me to the app), and the other one that says application is being installed(that should be gone after it's downloaded and it should only show the "application has been installed" button).
Why is that happening? Why won't the other icon disappear?
The most interesting thing is, that it is not kernel or rom relative problem, it happens in every single rom/kernel.
This is not a "major bug", but still annoying.
I have that too and thought it was maybe an ics issue, but when I restored a gb rom it was still there. I had it on the previous market too though, and presumed it was because I use Link2SD as after I download an app it can take a few secs to move the data to the sd and fully install.

Need stock Facebook app for Blu Studio 5.3

I need to unroot and return my Blu Studio 5.3 to stock and to do it I need the Facebook app. Deleted it cuz I never use FB. The app is in /system/app. Facebook.apk. Tried getting it from Play Store and it gives me an error, managed to get it to install by sending it to the phone from accessing the Store by computer, but it installs com.facebook.katana-1.apk as a user app and crashes when I try to start it.
Thanks in advance.
Edit - Fixed it by renaming com.facebook.katana-1.apk to Facebook.apk, moving it to /system/app, using touch to change the file times to match other apps in system, and giving it the same permissions as the other apps

[Q] installation from apk dont work for some apps (no gapps)

Hello, I recently tested and installed various version of ROMs and as gapps make them slower installed apps via apk. I used apk-downloader to pull apks from play store. But for some applications apks dont work, specifically ("HDFC bank").
While installing from file manager it simply says "App not installed."
Any idea how can I force it to be installed. I am guessing it as a security check in app which aborts the installation. It would be great to be able to use utility apps
FYI ... I am using latest built of '[ROM][4.4] CyanogenMod 11' from Albertos96.
Also I am missing something which is not allowing me to set 'whatsapp' as default messaging app. Any pointers?
Thanks to all the developers who made this possible. Sincerely appreciate it guys.

Z5 Premium from ebay cannot install facebook or messenger from g.play or from apk

Bought a z5 premium from ebay, works great, i have installed some basic apps like a browser( deleted chrome cuz it devours your ram) , vlc player, amazon etc... However i cannot install facebook, or messenger or the 2 lite versions. Google play says " can't install messenger, try again and if it still doesnt work see common ways to fix the problem"
I thought google play is drunk so i downloaded the apk from the web, and upon installation it says this: " app not installed the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name"
So in plain english that means it cannot be installed because it is already installed? Thats bull**** because i searched for the app in settings, even downloaded revo uninstaller to look for it. Only thing i found is 2 very small system apps. Both of them are called "Facebook App installed 18.4, however one is 75kb the other is 4mb.
Could these 2 cause the problem? Is it safe to delete them ? (they are under system apps, not user apps)
What could be the problem? I tried restarting, and cleaning cache of gplay, installing apk not working so what the hell is going on?
Flash rom with flashtool and select full wipe.

How can i install the same app from play store again without deleting app ?

I am trying to install a app from playstore multiple times but the problem is that "i don't want to delete the app". Is there any option to install a app without deleting the one.
Example - In redmi y2 mobile phones you have a option for second space where we can install the app again from playstore without deleting app which in first space.
The same thing i needed but i need a function like multiple space where i have multiple spaces.
Please help me
you can use multi space, or island. i prefer island as it just an tab in my launcher ( as work space)

Just Google whatever app you want with ".apk" at the end, so
For example Google Maps, search "Google Maps .apk"
Then download that file, you'll have the actual file or .apk (Android app) and can install as many times as you want.
Or you can search APK Mirror or UpToDown for your app, but essentially it's the same thing, you're downloading the .apk. These 2 are sources for it, Google is just a much bigger source. You'll want make sure the version you want is noted, you'll wanna DL the right one.
