[Q] failed to install 3rd party apps - XPERIA X8 General

im using the minicmrom , it seems i cant install any 3rd party apps from my sd card , when i click on the apk file and press install , it will load for awhile then it will say application not installed , but apps from market install just fine , anyone know anyway to overcome this ?

This error "application not installed" come up when you already have the app installed and you are trying to install an older version of it (market dont give you older versions).
So are you sure you are not trying to downgrade an app?

nope , im trying to install dillo hill , when i try to install it , it goes through the load screen for installing apps , then instead of saying application successfully installed it says unable to install

That game requires Adobe Flash, our x8 cant run it becuase it has arm6 processor.
P.S It requires some other Adobe stuff.(I think Adobe Director or something)

for example angry birds and the latest facebook app. the smaller apps will install without any problem. but the important apps wont. what can i do about this?
i read something about unmounting SD card. i tried that. But still got the problem.
What should i do?
I really want the facebook 1.5.0 app

Do you get an error or do they just stuck on 100% after downloading?

I get an error. But sometimes the download just cancels itself.
however, the main problem is the error. because i could download the apk file via rapidshare etc.
But the problem is the error. the error says after the install bar runs:
Application did not install. (in dutch)
The other problem, with the download cancelling is like this:
when selecting an app for download, the download bar starts running.
But after a few seconds the download bar disappears by itself. so eventually, the app never reaches my phone. in fact the download never completes.
so there are 2 problems. but the first problem is worse than the second.
However, it would be great if you could help me to solve them both.
First problem: i get an error when installing certain apps.
second: My downloads from the market wont complete.
sorry for any weird sentences, english is not my first language.
Kinda glad to know that I'm not the only one with the same problem... still trying to figure out what happened.
I know a clean install will fix the problem but I don't want to go through that again...
My phone is a Motorola Milestone running CM6 10.12.22
i just did a clean install from the latest android out there (darkstone superram 0.1) with the dutch vodafone data mod and i cannot download a single byte from the market. the market itself works fine over wifi or G3, but all files refuse to download.
thing that sucks as well is that i have the apk for applanet on the sd card but a cannot get to it as the darkstone lacks a sd card explorer app....
When that happened to me, Market reported an error -18. An online search recommended deleting a hidden directory ".android_secure" on the SD card. I'm running CM6.1 on a CDMA Hero with most of my apps running from the SD. From what I found online, that secure stuff is for Froyo apps2sd... which is why some apps downloaded and installed okay, and why some apps downloaded, but failed to install.
You can also try some cache dumps including Dalvik. Run "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager. Then try the downloads again. If that still doesn't work, you might want to delete the ".android_secure" hidden directory.
Make sure to do a Nand backup and copy the contents of the SD card onto your computer before attempting any fix. Play it safe.
Good luck.

If you download from play store thrrr will be no error because it will install app itself And if you install app from other markets then the would also be of arm7

Can't install any Apk ( Games or Applications )

Only from play store I can install games or applications. but unfortunately after I updated my phone I can't install any applications anymore from my memory card or phone memory. Note 3 won't let me install downloaded apk's even though I enabled to install apps from unknown sources in the Android settings. It opens up the install dialog but then I can't click on install - just cancel works.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

Maybe these apps/games are not compatible with the Note`s resolution, are these regular apps/games or cracks?

1) You can replace the battery pretty easily, if it doesn't work anymore.
2) Downgrade to KitKat
3) Don't know.

hi,
Normally when getting "parsing error" it could be various reasons. Eg. i got parsing error if i tried to install an app that was not optimised. for certain Android version.. . eg if you are on Android v4.4.4 and tried to install an app that is optimised eg.. v 5.0.1 Lollipop you can get parsing error.
Also if app is corrupted when downloading.
There can be quite a few, other reasons also..."corrupted" os.. freezing /deleting wrong system apps..(knock on effect) . when downloading . . etc etc
good luck

hi ,
it seems that you do not understand what i was trying to explain in my post above .re "parsing error "?
I will give you example. eg.....
if you are on Android v3.x.x (Honeycomb ) and want to install eg Nova home launcher it will /should give you a "parsing error " as Nova is optimised to work only with Android v4.x.x( Icecream sandwich ) and above.( i don't know if this has since changed )
eg no 2..
another example is if you are on Android 4..4.4(Kitkat ) and want to install an app Toggle Network it should give you a "parsing error " as it only works with Android v 5.x.x (Lollipop) and above .( you also need root etc )
I am not " talking " about apps that Play store states that it is not available for you Region /or optimsed to work etc . for you paticullar device (you have eg ..a Note 4 and its only optimised to work on eg Sony Xperia )
.Yes i have sideloaded such apps and found some working.
Also ,i stated that there could be various other reasons that you could be getting "parsing errors ."
eg Xposed module ........
you have Xposed module installed and "sometimes " if Xposed "breaks something " you could get this
Xposed( together with wrong version Play services ) has ...on /off caused plenty of problems( for me ) with Play store apps installations !! eg Apps would show "downloading and downloading " and never install on my device....then the app is only 3/4 megabytes in size ! I had to fix this by uninstalling Xposed , reflashing my Rom !( yes ,i know there are other "fixes/patches " that also work for Xposed module )
This has happened( with me in the past Android v 4.4.4 ) with Xposed module ,even after uninstalling it !!
that Xposed module or other modules installed ..... has /."can " break/cause a lot of problems !
Hope you get my point/understand better ?
............................
Bottom line ......Play services ..(wrong version on device )
i would say since you are on Lollipop the most obvious reason could be ,, that wrong version Play Services is still installed and causing your problem !!!!!!
To fix you have to install "upgraded version " of Play services
i had to do this when i flashed Lollipop ( so had other XDA members here )
good luck

N910C App not installed error

Hello,
Every time i try to install an apk i get "app not installed" error, i checked /data/data for leftovers but there is nothing.

If you have any apps that effect the light like Lex or Twilight.. Stop them and try again. It may do it…

hi ,
First you give very little info about your device ?
are you rooted , what Rom (stock Rom Android v 4.4.4 /5.0.1 ) etc ?
One issue i had ( Lollipop v 5.0.1 ) with APK's not installing, was not correct Play Services apk installed ( not the Play store apk )What i did was to check and see if i updated/correct version Google Play services ( apk ) as this can cause issues .( i Google around ..searched XDA to see what correct version was etc ) Did this and sorted problem .
Another issue i had when Apk'S not installing, was Xposed module causing errors .
When i had this error ( unable to install apk ) was way back, when i was still on Android v 4.4.4 and using Xposed framework .I am not sure if it was Xposed or an module of Xposed ,( i was using) .I solved it by uninstalling Xposed (which really only helped a little )The problem with Xposed is that it caused a lot of "problems/errors " when installed and even afterwards ,when uninstalled, as it can " break " certain functions on your device ( This is my experience )
I just factory resetted my device , but this did not help also ..so i flashed my device (then) current Rom) and managed to sort it out .
Good luck
I have similar issue with my note 4 5.0.1 ican't install asphalt 8 and minion rash togeahter !!!! if I install one of them the 1st one work correctly but 2nd can't install and give me error
