Unable to click install button from apk file - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently running the latest paranoid android Rom on my nexus 4 using Franco's milestone 2 kernel. I am having problems installing apps that I downloaded (e.g., Adobe flash update). What happens is I can see the installation screen with the different permissions, but I cannot click on the install button. It works when I install apps from the play store but not through root browser, astro, es explorer. I have tried other apks to make sure it's not just that one file. As well, I had even removed those dimmer apps like twilight and lux before installing. I also stopped the running applications and then tried installing. I'm stumped and I have no idea what to try next. Maybe there is another uncommon app that I need to uninstall before installing off my card...
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

Disable HALO if you want to install apk`s.

Geez. You know how to flash paranoid android but not how to search? This has been mentioned many times..

Disable screen filter if you by any chance using it
It happened to me yesterday and it was found it was caused by file screen.

Disable Halo, then you can install it.
If you actually looked through the PA thread, you'd see this has been answered over 50 times within the last few pages.

you can not install adobe flash from the play store, flash does not support android 4.2.2. yoy would need to install it from the adobe site list of past flash updates. same with any other app from the play store that doesnt support the nexus 4 or the right android version.

thanks

AppWidgetDisplay
Also AppWidgetDisplay for Sony Smartwatch causes such behavior.

There is another way which will always work, If you don't want to waste your time.
Just use adb to install. As shown in the post below.

Can I get Flash working?

Hi all,
As per the thread title, is there any known way to get flash working with any browser on the Nexus 7?
You can install a separate APK from online, as in the Play Store flash is listed as incompatible. It should work fairly well with most browsers, however Chrome does not support Flash at all.

So how is web browsing on the 7? Any lag in browsing or typing ...loading pages..etc?

Browsing with Chrome is super smooth. There was some noticeable lag at first, but after the OTA update, everything ran a lot smoother, and haven't noticed any lag since. Typing is just as smooth too. For some graphic-intensive pages, the whole site doesn't show-up while you're scrolling until you stop scrolling, but it's a very minor issue.
Browsing is really nice in Chrome. Better than Dolphin HD in fact. I'd like to know how to get flash to install though to use with Dolphin HD. I have Flash 11 .apk but it will not install and noting else is showing up in GP. Anyone?

I'm having the same problem. I heard that is has to do with the OTA update messing with the ability to install Flash. Other APK's installed fine, so I can't think of why else.
i installed flash player from an APK & it works for me.
you can download the apk from here

It's pretty much dead for every system but windows anyway. Linux flash support has always been crap and they gave up on that too.
I thought it was bad when they didn't support PPC Linux. For being an internet standard they surely are limited.

Well..the extreme would be factory reset/load stock fast boot images and OTA up to 4.1.2. Other possibilities - is there a possibility that your Wi-Fi connection is not cooperating with the Xoom? Did you move/remove any system files after routing that may cause a problem? If I had a clear cut answer I'd give it to you. Try some Google searching - you may be surprised with your findings.

have you tried different browsers? Try Opera Mobile. Also go to market and and install an app that allows you to download any file like "Download All"
These may or may not work so try them first.

check if there is enough free disk space for the file you are trying to download.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk 2
Try going into your file manager delete some unused files : cache, downloads, any folder you don't need delete. This has always worked for me and frees up a ton of memory. Simply cleaning download manager and cache in recovery doesn't free up space as the files are still there.

The only reason for a download to be unsuccessful is a loss of connectivity... A timeout or inability to connect to the download server. That presumes the download starts but fails. If the download doesn't even start, that's a browser issue. The above also presumes you can download the files from other devices on your wifi.
Try going to another wifi hotspot. See if that makes any difference.
You didn't mention it, but I presume you have room left on your internal storage.

why not try another rom?!? i actually had this problem a lot running EOS a few builds ago and now it seems to have disappeared. usually Dolphin would work when others would not. titanium backup and factory reset?
I was having the same issue with CM 10.1 a couple of weeks ago, stock browser would not download properly and over screen browser seemed tobe much better. Later nightlies seem to have resolved the issue so most likely ROM based. Try another ROM and see if it clears the problem.
Good luck and hope you sort it out.

TItle says it all... is this normal--- first time flashing CM10.1 or any other ROM for that matter. How do I get these "default" apps back?
Your going to get scalded for not reading the instructions on the cm thread or website... Go download the Google apps it's posted in the development section in many of the roms then flash from your recovery

Look at the apk's in the Gapps zip so you know what's being installed, many are NOT included since they're available on Play. This is normal.

Do you have Play, News and Weather or Talk in your app drawer? If so, you've successfully flashed Gapps. The rest of the "apps" installed are various sync adapters, etc...

WTF are up with all these errors???? First the Gapps crap and now "Unfortunately the Setup Wizard has Stopped" too... Why can't this just work!

They are not included in cm's gapps. Download them from play store...

after you flash cm10
if you have playstore then just download the apps your missing thru the play store
if you dont understand what people are telling you
i suggest you go back and re read the instructions on how to flash a rom
Why wouldn't they include them? Thats stupid (in my opinion)... now I have to figure out what apps came stock on my phone- and how do I delete some of the apps that came installed with CM10.1?

Because they're available on Play, so most "official" gapps packages don't include them.
They don't come with the ROM because CM doesn't want to get sued by Google, and they're not part of AOSP.

If you think it is "stupid" dont use cm10 then and go find another rom.
is it really that hard to redownload the apps? or just make a damn backup an restore it
and either uninstall the apps. or use titanium backup to uninstall any app you want.
i would say search XDA for your answers, before this turns into 20 questions.

[Q] Questions of a noob :)

Hey guys. As the title says i recently joined the android world through my nexus 4 and yesterday i rooted my phone for the first time using the nexus toolkit. So as i would like to ask some things that may sound foolish, but make me curious, im not gonna delay any longer and just go on. While rooted on stock rom i could see into my apps the SuperSu and busybox free apps.Now that i flashed rasbeanjelly they are gone.Do i need both? If yes should i download from google play or install from sdcard (there is a folder named "!Readytoflash containing these zips plus a "perm-recovery-signed" zip which i also dont know if its needed.) Also as i said now that i flashed my new rom i combined it with matr1x kernelv8.5. Any way to see its settings or edit them through a control app(havent found one yet). I maintly want to see how pgm fuctions work, like sleep2wake but cant see how to activate them etc. Last but not least before i go on custom rom from stock i made a backup thhrough Nexus toolkit and titanium backup.Does it matter where i choose to restore apps from and can i do that even if the restore was from different rom( will manually drag and drop photos on phone hope it works too). Thanks in advance for the help.

[Q] Custom ROM lacking AOSP features/functionality

Hi all,
I just rooted to Carbon ROM and am able to scroll around and open applications etc, but my Home button isn't working, keyboard isn't available, gapps are missing etc. I loaded on the latest gapps (gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip) through CWR but I guess these issues are pointing to the fact it hasn't worked? I might be wrong on this, so please correct me.
My phone has 4.3 android and loaded with SuperSU v 1.65.
Please help?
Thank you

It's a Nexus 4. I figure out the issue. It was basically an incorrect gapps file, so none of the basic phone features were working. Thanks though.
