I found a fix today I have had this problem for 2 months and today decided to fix it at all costs here's what I did.
Go to settings>applications>manage applications>all
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..
install touch boton disable
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.
THANKS. thanks I meet your comments.
Do not give up and find the root cause.

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.
See signature for device, Rooted, running KitKat 4.4.4
Thank you!

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..

[Q] Oregon Scientific Meep Root / unclock?

I was just curious if anyone has looked into rooting / unlocking the Oregon Scientific Meep tablet for kids? I havent seen a post on it, but would like to know if anyone had looked at it and how easy/difficult it would be.
Thank you.
Me too, the launcher sucks for kids.
Yep i would like too...

I think their servers are down. Because the website is a error fest when trying to set it up.
Meep! is already rooted
In still trying open Google play on it.... But can you install a different launcher?

If anyone figures out how to root this PITA let me know please. My family is technologically challenged and I help them with their tech problems. This meep is something only an overprotective mother can see any good qualities in. You can't even look at it without it being logged and sent to the parent control panel, which has been bugged out and half working every time I try to use it. Anyway, I guess my point is that I want to root it and make a proper tablet out of it. Until then, I suppose I will try to convince my family to return the damn thing and get my little sister a Nexus 7 instead.
I found it out by accident. Just install super su and some app which relies on root, I installed titanium backup and it works.
I also installed nova launcher and its also working. For app market, you can try and install root explorer and change permissions.
This could work, but since this tablet is for my little daughter, I am not interested in using market on meep.
he guys, keep in mind, this tablet is for your kids. let them play on it, not you!

They play yes, but I want to make it kid friendly. The meep launcher is horrible. Did u use adb for super su and file manager?

I might have to go through with the process later, it would seem that there is yet another problem (big freakin surprise there). I did a factory reset and i may have to log into my sister's google play account again, the only problem is the only way i know of to open google play is to use the parent control thing to do it, and that is not working. I'd call support and ask about it, but honestly i've read all over the internet that they will just put you on hold and hang up on you.

Will the force stop work to disable it forever?? i dont remember what was the app...
and is there any way to completely remove that process?? so it will not download any app automatically forever?
Try following the instructions you've been given.

that is not permanent. you need to force stop it every time you reboot the phone. try uninstalling the apps one by one and reboot phone after every un-installation. possibly cheap rated apps with ad support may cause this.

Alright. Thanks all for helping me.... im glad that this community is very helpful for all the android users....

Did you reboot?
You can also try side loading an older version of the app. I'm sure you can find one on the interwebs...
Yep. Tried turning off and on again. No joy.
No offence want the latest version as it has the most recent levels.
Anyone else got any ideas please?

I am not specifically familiar with the app/game/program that you are referring to, so if what I am about to suggest turns out to be complete rubbish, please feel free to ignore it completely. Here goes anyway, just in case it might turn out to somehow be useful !!
I sideloaded Better Terminal Emulator (a GREAT app & also one of my most favorite root-aware apps !!). Whenever I would start it up, it would run just fine, as long as I did *not* attempt to open the KFHDX keyboard. As soon as the built-in keyboard was activated, BTE would immediately crash & close. As you might guess, any terminal emulator program is basically worthless without keyboard input !! However (so this is where you might want to try the same thing, if "keyboard" applies in your specific case), when I use an external BT keyboard, BTE continues to run as great as it always has . . . problem averted !! [ now if I could just get my root access back with the latest formware ]
HTH !!
Good luck & have fun !!

With stock AMZ FW, you can also run into issues with some apps that use any DL service other than AMZ. Which is why many paid Play Store apps will force close, like GTA SA, which will fail to open or crash unless you use the KF version.

[Q] Possible to run multiple instances of same APK ?

i did a search and someone asked this about 2 years ago, and the answer was that its not possible. But maybe there is a way now.
Im wanting to install 2 instances of the same APK
The app is: Star Wars Force Collection
Reason im wanting to do this: Once you install the app and login to your account, theres no way to change accounts without uninstalling / reinstalling and logging into new account.
Looking for a way around this. I have a rooted Nexus 5.
Thanks for any help

ive seen an app that does multiple profiles but after reading reviews its not that safe and can corrupt your main profile / or prevent you getting back to it.
Still looking for a solution here, must be possible

you could unpack the apk and rename the package name... I'm not sure how to do this as I'm no Recognised Themer, but if you did get an RT to help you then I'm sure you could install the same app twice if Android thought it was a different apk when it isn't, unless it'd bugger it up by having the same app loaded in ram at once. I'm no expert but this is the only way I can see of doing it.

Sorry to bump such an olf post but im looking for the same reason as op. Running multiple instances of the same app would make life much easier. Im running lollipop so all the guides iv read thus far havnt had any success. Can anyone help?
I would like to only run 1 instance of the same app ,different versions though
Sure, this is possible via Lucky Patcher (I know, we don't love Lucky Patcher here). You can use the clone app option. I'm not sure how they do it. They change the last digit of the package name, I don't know if they change anything else. If it needs to be different versions, I don't know how.
