[Q] Unable to install 3rd-Party Apps CM12 i9195

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

Hi i have samsung galaxy j5 oof it has android lollipop whenever i try to install any modded apk like asphalt 8 airbone or any other it start inatalling but after few second it say app not installed.i have even rooted my phone

[Q] Android is upgrading on every boot

I just bumped my lollipop rom and install xposed then I noticed that my phone shows out "android is upgrading" on every reboot. Is there any way to fix this as it is a little annoying...:crying:
Sorry for my broken English

+1 !

afaik its just a side effect of using the alpha build of xposed. sure, it can get annoying, but having xposed and this 'issue' is better than, well you know.

This activity tends to get lengthier after every reboot. I've found that once it "seems" to loop in the "Android is upgrading" screen, to remove the battery, boot into recovery, wipe the Dalvik cache, and reboot. It will go through the lengthy procedure of updating software, but will boot a WHOLE lot faster after that.

There is a fix to that. I have the same problem that started after installing xposed on my s4 lollipop. I was able to get rid of the "androidis upgrading". the one that shows you how many apps are being installed. Now, it goes straight to "starting apps". This is not a complete fix though, since it should boot straight up but at least, it's a lot faster now. Use lucky patcher then use the option "remove all odex". That fixed the issue for me. Though not 100% fixed.

I tried this method but it didn't work, and there are still 3 apps that are being "optimized" on every boot. Is there any way to find out which apps these are?

Try to change the version of Xposed installer and see if that fixes the problem. By the way, the problem is 100% fixed now on my phone. I used lucky patcher to remove all odex files. I also installed another version of Xposed. The latest one did not work well so used an older version.

Which Xposed version did you use? I'm on v68 right now which is the latest. I had v67 and it did the same thing.

V66. I tried2 later versions but this one worked for me.

I have a Oneplus One but I have the same issue. Every damn boot. Android is starting. optimizing app 1 of 121.
I also have the latest version of xposed.
I know not the forum for the OPO but just thought I'd let you guys know other phones face it too and hopefully find a solution to this.
I had to make a really important call and my phone restarted all on its own. That's bad enough but add to the random restart sitting for 5 minutes to wait for android to finish optimizing

I tried v66 like you recommended and the same thing happened. So it must be something else that solved your problem. I guess I can live with it though.

Trying this now...my G3 crashes for whatever reason from time to time after my Tasker that disables bluetooth as soon as the USB power is disconnected from the car.
Currently on version 79. Patched it with Lucky Pater and removed all odex; rebooted (got stuck but battery out & booted normally).
I'll report if there are any further issues

Okay it's very odd it seems like there's an issue with my LG G3 disconnecting bluetooth from the stock head unit in '13 WRX. If I try pushing the power button off on the radio then shut off the engine (Tasker shuts down bluetooth) then I don't seem to have this issue with the phone crashing. I've yet to have the phone crash if it's on A/C power and Tasker performs the same function.

Various app crashes

Bought my 5T last week (used) and immediately I installed magisk to root and xposed. Since then though I'm facing bizarre issues that come and go.
I was unable to add a Gmail account from settings as Google play services would crash
The Facebook messenger app would crash as soon as I open it, I downloaded the lite app and its OK.
The most common issue im seeing is Instagram crashing when I try to swap accounts. I can try to swap account, the app will hang and eventually crash. I try again and it will crash. But like an hour later it will be fine...
Also clearing dalvick and cache from TWRP seems to get it to work immediately.
I've had other things crash to which is strange as on my OP2 I had no such behaviour. The phone is lightning fast but these crashes are super annoying.
Anyone have any suggestions on what I could do? Not sure if reinstalling Oxygen OS could help and what's the most efficient way to do this while getting magisk/xposed back.

I have a 5T that has magisk installed. I did not install xposed yet and am not facing any if these issues. Maybe try uninstalling Xposed and cleaning cache?

Should be cause of some xposed modules, elaborate the versions of magisk, xposed and the modules installed. And your oos version too. And substratum?

I've got xposed 90.2-beta3(systemless) installed, version 3.1.5
Android 8.1.0 - Oxygen OS 5.1.2
Magisk manager is 5.7.0 and installed version is 16.4 (though it says latest version is 16.0)
Only have 3 xposed modules actually installed.. ChromePie, SnapTools Beta and Xinsta. I could disable the xposed status for a few days and see how I get on, I assume that is enough without uninstalling it? Not sure

There should not be issue with things what you have mentioned above. These modules too are app specific, and what about substratum and magisk modules?

yeah exactly, like I uninstalled xinsta but it didn't stop it crashing (sometimes) when switching accounts... Even Magisk just crashed a minute ago as soon as I opened it to get the version, it was fine when I re-opened it.
Substratum I've never heard of before
Magisk modules all I have is Xposed framework and Youtube Vanced

Again no issues could be caused by these. Maybe try updating the apps you specified or try different older version
Try this older fb messenger for example https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620770051

It just seems to be related to quite a few apps so trying different versions would be annoying, might try it with Instagram as its the most annoying.. Just went into recovery and wiped dalvic cache to switch accounts again.

Nope

I did an OTA update which caused the phone to not be rooted and went back to stock recovery.
I used it for a few days and had no crashes, especially Instagram when switching accounts. Yesterday I flashed TWRP and installed Magisk root again and since have had crashes again... odd.

Magisk No root prompts

^title, I haven't done anything new and all of the sudden today my magisksu will not prompt when apps request root with the log only saying superuser denied. I googled it and found posts dating back to 2017 about issues with this (which seems to happen 100% of the time when I have issues). I've done the fixes people said worked for them (turning off adaptive battery, repackaging magisk manager, rolling back to older magisk, taking magisk manager off the optimizing battery list, installing some adb fastboot ndk module thing, reinstalling magisk, full uninstall and reinstall, reflashing /boot /system and /vendor back to factory image stock.) and no luck. Has anyone else fixed this without a factory reset/reflash? Also at the same time this issue popped up I'm also having a really annoying time getting apps to install from the play store, it'll download say for instance 2.50 MB/2.50 MB 100% and just sit there for literally minutes before the app randomly says it's installed after the screen blacks out.
Oh also I'm getting no errors at all in the magisk log even entry is an informative.
Update: I was able to get solidexplorer to request root successfully but it literally too 3 minutes of waiting for the prompt to appear. I'm also getting errors in the log "write failed with 32: broken pipe" which I also saw in that forum post from 2017.

I don't have "adwares" but I have the same issue too. Surprisingly it persists when I reverted to last known good version. Which makes everything strange.
I could not afford a clean format at the moment. But until I have the time to do it (and hopefully it goes away), any suggestions to solve this would be extremely appreciated.
I am not using Pixel 3, but I use Nokia 6. Someone told me that it's a common Nokia issue, but being brought here at a very different device forum kind of prove a point that this is a bug that has to do with Magisk, and not Nokia-specific (or device-specific as for this case (maybe)) issue.

The page didnt help with my issue unfortunately
-------------------------------
I managed to solve my issue by actually formatting everything (including data). Painful 2 hrs for me lel. Now on 6.1 Manager and 7.3 Magisk and everything works as it should.
Since I formatted data, the issue may have something to do with magisk's leftover files.
Still, the problem with 18.x and 7.0 manager will always happen if i update. Fun fact: if you play around the root settings in Magisk Mgr, you may have a luck and the root prompt will appear. Unfortunately, the root prompt will only appear for the current boot. If you reboot, the problem is there again. Use this window of freedom to grant root to your apps.

Just a thought and maybe you do it but after each update instead of just directly rerooting, run the magisk uninstaller first.
Flash update
Reboot
Boot back to bootloader
Install TWRP, your phones method
Flash Magisk uninstaller.zip
Flash custom kernel if applicable
Flash magisk.zip
Reboot

Question [Root] Device crashing & rebooting after one minute of usage

I'm using a Pixel 6 Pro rooted and after 1 minute of using the device the device completely freezes and reboots. This happened one day after I rooted my phone and I rebooted my device and it completely stopped working. The logs provided in Magisk don't seem to be useful nor point to the main issue. Safe mode doesn't have this issue, but I'm looking to see how to fix this issue. I'm running TQ1A.230105.002 build. I can try and install a module to help diagnose the issue if it's useful.
Magisk modules installed: Universal Safetynet
Zygisk: Enabled
Rooted apps: Greenify, GoogleDialerMod, Shizuku, Storage Isolation, BBS

Do you have any Magisk mods installed? If so, one of them may be causing it given you don't have any problems in safe mode.

My bad, I'll edit the post right now. The freezing does occur even after denying all of them permissions

If it is a module just type in adb magisk –remove-modules
there's also a magisk module that disables misbehaving modules at boot to protect against bootloop it's called magisk bootloop protector

I've seen another person who had similar problems while using Greenify, so maybe try to uninstall that and see if the problem persists.
Also, if you booted into safe mode and rebooted your modules should be disabled. Does the problem persist with those mods disabled?
