Have you tried installing any other third party apps
Ask us any Android Related Question @FeraLabsDevs on Twitter or @HowToMen
Do you have to check usb debugging checked?
I also have the same problem as he does on my Razr (910). My solution is to use on of the older fastboostfiles prior the 2.3.6 OTA update.

Are you using Screen Adjuster or any other app to correct screen color tint? If so, disable it and voilà.
Thanks for the replies. I ended up just using android injector to install what I needed and flashed the Axiom ROM and everything's straight now. Thanks again!

Hero !!! Fixed the problem, thanks ^^
I too have been having same issue but not using any of the apps listed here. Through a trail and error process of elimination, I was able to determine that the WhoIsIt app was the culprit.
When I could not click install on non-market apps (including Amazon) I did a force stop on WhoIsIt and bingo I was able to click install right away!!
Hope this helps others still having problems.

Look for media storage and select it now you click clear data job done I haven't rebooted to see if it sticks after reboot but it hopefully will

Thanks for your response. Great!! I just followed your steps and Rebooted my devices and its WORKING!!
Many thanks for getting things resolved. Its been the major problem with my device.
I Tried googling and found in many forums that its due to some unsigned apps that causing the problem. Just wondered, how clearing the media contents resolved this one.
Could you please provide the scene behind media storage and please let me know hoe could this solves the issue.

Hi There, It seems like temporary fix for this issue. When the media app has some data in it, this problem reproduced. is there any permanent way to get rid of it?
Am in GB2.3.5, very sooner, i will get ICS 4.0.4 in my device. will that solve this problem?
Kindly help me..

CONGRATULATIONS, You really are great, clear media data solved the problem even without rebooting.
I have been surfing for a solutin wihout succes till I founded this Foto.

I use an app called screen filter at night to darken my screen. I have found that the install button won't function when screen filter is engaged, disengage it and the install
button works again.

Here's the thing for me though... I don't use a screen filter. I have always just used the display timer in the device's settings. And I do have "Unknown Sources" enabled. It just stopped working though.
I tried the Media Storage fix, but it didn't work, before or after rebooting.

UPDATE: Figured it out! Of all things, it was a Clipboard app that I recently installed, called "Copy Bubble". Thanks though!
I had the same situation, I mean when I tried to install any apps with unknown source I had active cancel button and inactive install button.
After wipe and install clean rom everything was OK so I was sure that issue was by my installed apps. In this case: Lux Auto Brithness. After freezing this apps - install button is active.
Screen filtering apps causes this issue.
I believe they add layer and android disables INSTALL considering security..
If clearing data for media storage seems like temporary fix, then no permanent fix(?) is there instead removing the app thats causing the screen overlay (Unless devs find one and they will):good:
In my case it was EDGE MASK app's rounded corners effect that was causing issue.. Disabled it and worked..
Google for screen filtering apps and find your's..
I can select the file but when u press the "install" button, NOTHING happens. The "cancel" button works fine.
I have my phone to install files from unknown sources. Tried with both usb debugging on and off to.
What gives? Any suggestions welcome.

Wipe both your caches and see if that makes a difference.

WTF?!
I turned "screen filter" off and they all worked!
Why does that affect anything? That is very strange! Should I have known that? I assumed it didn't do ANYTHING except dim my screen!
Out of curiosity, why does it affect the installation of apps, and DOES IT AFFECT ANYTHING ELSE I/WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF? ?
Thanks to everyone that responded!

Hey guys!
Trying to recover some of my apps on my new Jelly Bean ROM but Titanium says it can't because installing apps from unknown sources is blocked. So I go to Security in settings and theres nothing there to allow manual app installs...in fact, the option is no where in settings.
Are we not allowed to install apps from outside the App Store or is this setting something that is just missing?

Become a developer!
Goto “About phone” (or tablet)
Tap the "Build number" (the last item) 4 times slowly
On each tap, it will remind you how many "click" away from being a "developer"
At the end, it will told you "You are a developer now"

What do you mean by looking in Birds nest/lock screen/security? What is the Birds Nest you are referring too/ Sorry for the no0b question. I'm having the same issue as the OP trying to reinstall some of my apps that I backed. I have the latest 4.2.2 Jellybean and I have the Unknown Sources checked, and the Verify Apps unchecked. When I tried to install my back up paid apps, I get a error saying "not installed." These are my legit apps that are tied to my account that I paid for. It will let me install the free apps like facebook etc. I just don't understand. Anyways, I didn't want to make anew thread so I figure i asked hear. I been trying to figure this out. Thanks!

Open titanium press menu go to preferences then down to back up folder location. Let it detect and select entire device. Then if found select use current location after selecting it. Back out and reopen tibu.

the activation screen on an unactivated phone. you get it when you power on the phone. any app listed under apps on the phone. all phones come with pre-installed apps. one of these apps.

take sim card out, then bypass activation screen. go through Setup Wizard skipping/opting out of everything via Next/Skip/No. at end of setup, you will see Home screen. from there you can run apps, etc.
i had the sim card installed still. when i bypassed the activation screen, i only had access to Settings on the phone.
Glad you solved it.:good:
I noticed a few days ago that Facebook was no longer hibernating when I shut off my screen. It turns out that the option to ignore app state is no longer available, which I was using to hibernate apps like Facebook that always show up as working. Is there a reason for this? Because this option is not available, Greenify will no longer auto-hibernate Facebook. Currently running on a rooted Nexus 6P.

This feature is still available in Greenify and I used it yesterday.
Either Facebook or N6P should be the reason if it is not working for you. Most likely Facebook.

I'm an idiot. You have to manually hibernate a working app before it gives you the option to ignore running state permanently. Thanks for your help, everybody!
I am on 2.8.1 with root mode. I don't seem to find the manual hibernate option to ignore app state. I got this app that's abusing the state and shows "working" all the time.

Xposed doesn't have anything to do with this option. I hope you are running it in root or boost mode.
You may not get this option on the App Analyzer screen. When you are on the main screen of Greenify and this app is shown as running, touch it to highlight it. Then click the Zzzz button or the three dot menu, then 'hibernate now'. You should get a dialogue box containing some warnings and also a checkbox within it. Tick the checkbox, then click OK. That is all.
