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.
Hi,
Recently I found an issue with my oneplus 3. In the file manager where the apks from the third parties are stored I found an apk called Recorder.apk. It was a voice recording app similar to the one found in the stock oneplus phone. The size was also the same(1.86mb). The apk was just sitting there but not installed. But I dont know how it came there. I always install my apps from the play store and also my installation from unknown sources is turned off. My phone is also not rooted. I have Sophos antivirus on my phone.
Please help.
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.
Hello all,
I cann't find a solution to install apps in sideload on my Pixel 2XL.
It was after flashing version 10 in the beginning of september.
After a lot of trying I give up and hope someone else here can help me.
My Pixel 2XL is unlocked but not rooted.
Normally I do the sideload by transfer an apk to my dropbox. After that I start it up and do what the system tells me.
Nowadays I got a return of a message in dropbox that -it is impossible to open the apk and download an app to open the apk-.
After that I download the apk to my download folder to try again. Then, when trying to startup, I get a popup with the name off the apk, the version nr, the size and packagename.
There is also a button to view apk content. When I push that button the right folders of the apk are indeed visible.
There are also 3 options. One to install, one to go to playstore and one to stop further actions and go back.
When I try to use the button install the result is that nothing happened, no signal, no message from the system, no popup, really nothing.
You all know that this is not what I want. I just want to install the apk. I have tried it with a few other apk's with the same results. :crying:
Before the last OTA upgrade to android 10 it was normal to install with these methods.
Thanks for who can helping me and others for trying to help me.
Greetings.

Have you enabled install apps from unknown sources? You'll also need to enable apps to install apps from what I can see in android 10. If you pull up an apps indignation you can expand the options and there will be an option to allow it to install apps, which Dropbox may need. The first one needs to be enabled to install apks from the download folder.

Thanks for helping me.
I did all these settings before.
Now I tried to open another filemanager (Google Files) and that did the job.
I don't know why installing in dropbox or installing in es file explorer doesn't do the same with equal settings.
Maybe an idea to uninstall and re-install these apps?
Anyway, a lot of thanks for your answer.

Android 10, install from unknown sources is like an app permission now, you have to grant it to things like chrome (download apk and install) and file managers rather than a global setting for phone. Safer as you trust an app o do it rather than letting some malware in background filling your phone with crap.

Uninstalling and reinstalling will not work, as I've done that with my modded version of ES File Explorer. This is a change in Android itself.
Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Special App Access > Install Unknown Apps. A list of apps will appear. Select an app and toggle the switch.
NOTE: Dropbox is on the list, but at least on my device my modded version of ES File Explorer is not.
I've downloaded and installed LINE from various stores (Aptoide, Aurora) and multiple versions, but all immediately crash upon opening the app.
I've used Magisk Hide (via Magisk Manager) to hide the rooting from LINE in case that was what is causing the app to crash, but that didn't solve it either.
It can't be the lack of GSF as the app runs perfectly on Sailfish OS (via Alien Dalvik), which also has no GSF at all.
I don't know what else to try to get it to work.
I'm having no such problem with other social apps such as WhatsApp and Skype.
