cannot reinstall stock messaging app - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
After rooting my phone I uninstalled the stock Messaging app with Root Uninstaller. I made a backup of the Mms.apk file. A few days later I tried to reinstall it, but when I run it, it only says "Application not installed".
I've been searching around for hours, tried copying the backed up apk to the /system/app folder, changing permissions, rebooting, flashing various zip packages, wiping the delvik cache, etc, but still it says "Application not installed".
When I go to the /system/app folder with Super Manager, the copied apk file is displayed as Messaging(No install) ?! screenshot: hxxp://i49.tinypic.com/33zd1jb.png
I also tried with some other apks I found online but it doesn't work either.
I know I could flash the ROM, but I'd like to use that as a last resort.
Any ideas/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

i have a new problem...
i accidently deleted accounts and sync and now it wont sync.
anyway to get it back?
any suggestios?
I did the same thing a week or so ago.
You could just use Odin to flash the ROM again (since it doesn't wipe).
You could take it from a previous backup.
You could open an update and extract the file.
Really, lots of options. When I did it, it was immediately after I flashed the JI6, so I just did it again, but you've got a few other options.
i already used a lot of mods and i dont want to do it again..
can anyone maybe i tried to install ti from another phone but the instalaltion fails.

Trying to install stock sms app

Im trying to install the stock android sms app on my mytouch. Its all rooted. I pulled the Mms.apk off the cm7 rom I have on my computer. I tried to just put it on my sdcard and install it from there. No dice. I tried to push it to system/app and when I try and install it is gives me a parsing error. I tried changing the permissions and still nothing is working. Any help would be appreciated!

Crazy issue, an app refuse to (re)install/restore, tried all i could..!

Hello,
I had some sort of crash on my phone but i managed to get system back. All's phone appart few apps that didn't appear anymore in launcher. After checking data/app i saw their apk was corrupted, so i deleted it. Reinstall was fine for all, but not for ezPDF Reader...
I tried all i could : deleting all files related to it, wiping caches and even flashing it from cwm (with TB update.zip feature). It failed for that last solution too (apk was in data/app and not corrupted but still not showing in launcher).
Ah, forgot but i also tried copying the apk rightly named & good permission in data/app myself. Of course i did reboot everytime a change was made. Please help/tell me what's the file/thing to change so i can restore/install it.
Thanks.

Insufficient Storage

Ive done numerous searches and tried many possible fixes, but nothing has worked. Ive tried setting install location, cleared caches, app-lib files, ODEX files, removing apk from data folders, Link2sd, insufix app, marketfix app, ran a command that someone posted on a previous post, factory reset, ROM tool box and Lucky Patcher. I couldnt get to "fixes and backups" using LP. I hit troubleshooting and it says "update busybox and supersu ics". I have twrp 2.7, SuperSu and S off. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Usually a market/ play store error. Previously you would wipe your play store data and services. Not recommended with JB and higher but I dont know if anything else works yet...

Some off-market APKs won't install, but others will

Hey all,
I tend to download off-market apks quite a bit and this is the first time I've run into this issue. I'm trying to download the TomTom Go app and it keeps saying that the app package is corrupted. Whether I download it from a random site, Aptoide, or ACmarket, it doesn't matter. However, I tried testing it with a different app (AccuWeather) and it downloaded from off-market sources just fine and installed. I can't figure out the reason for this, since I tried several sources and all of them had the "it appears the app package is corrupted" error. If it helps, I'm running a rooted phone (RS988) with magisk and Xposed, with a TWRP recovery.
Thank you for any help you can give me!
Edit: I have tried wiping the data/cache of the package installer, I've tried moving the APK into my /system folder and changing the permissions, I've tried resetting the app preferences and I've restarted the phone. The next thing I'm going to try is wiping the dalvik cache and see if that fixes it. Also, quick sidenote, I can install any app I want from the play store.
