I have "Allow Unknown Sources" turned on, and I have tried downloading some APK's such as the new Gmail and I am unable to install them. When I go to launch it I get a window that comes up that says "Failed to open the Remote Assistance Invitation. Incorrect Remote Assistance Invitation format" My Note 2 is stock (no roms) with just Nova launcher. I have tried other APK's without success.
Any ideas?
May I ask where you're downloading said apps from?

I renamed original gmail.apk to gmail.apk.bak and reboot.
Then downloaded the new apk from your post and it works fine

Use the second mirror download. Mirror1 was not an apk. File but mirror2 worked fine.

If you are getting the Remote Assistance error every time you try and install an APK directly, it may be that Remote Assistance has somehow been set as the default installer. No idea how that could happen, but to clear it try going to Settings->Application Manager->All then look for Remote Assistance app, select it, scroll down and "Clear defaults" under "Launch by default".

I was able to install astro file manager via apk. I had to allow outside sites. I usd the package manager when prompted and open after install. I was able to see the system files but i tried to copy them to my sd card with no luck. This does not create a link on the shelf and i dont know how to launch it unless i reinstall from the downloads in the browser. I also attempted other apk some worked others did not. Not sure if this helps anyone I m not a developer just fooling around at Mc donalds playing with my new nook tablet. Maybe this info is already out their if so im sorry.
How about trying to install a launcher like Go Launcher? The Kindle Fire people have some type of success with Go Launcher.
Have you tried rebooting after installing to see if icons appear?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
no but I will.
you'll need a launcher to be able to see your apps. The nook hasn't shown the BN installed apps and the user installed apps in the same place since 1.1.
Very interesting if Zeam or Go are installable. My memory is that the old BN app installer would not install non-BN apps.
I tried a reboot no luck. I Also tried to install the apps from the download location after reboot. I get a problem parsing the file. This could be because temporary internet cache is cleared after reboot not sure.
I have Go running right now on mine and it rebooted into it automatically. If I home button, it goes back to the Nook default UI and I haven't found a way to get back to Go yet.
same her go is running and my other installed apk's are showing up in the app menu
here are some bad pics of go launcher running on nook tablet
Here are some bad pics of go launcher running on nook. With installed apks in the app drawer.
I have File Expert, Market, G Books all installed as well as the Google services APK. Can't log into market yet. I'm a total n00b on this so if more experienced people have advice, let me know.
edit -
Nevermind.. must have been a bad file name or location.. i found another one and it works now.

Yeah, I had done that.. I guess it just didn't like the file.. it was an attachment from here.

Market keeps force closing though the 2.3.6 market will stay open for a bit. In a twist of irony, the Amazon App store works perfect. Likely no more updates from me tonight.
Summary, download Go Launcher apk and install using Package Installer. Get a File management program, then go to town.
amazon appstore
I have installed amazon app store including all my free apps
from my account. plus opera web browser play on and kindle this rocks.
wave launcher
I have installed wave launcher and added go launcher this can help make up for moments when you need a home button and want to stay in go launcher. Hope this helps.
Is there anyway to get back to the page with "Install from unknown sources" again? I can't find a way of getting there through the settings, and I'm curious if it's even accessible otherwise.

I couldn't find a way. I hacked one of my test apps to launch it. Download the tgps_launcher, and hit "start".

I just found that double tapping the N button in Angry Birds will let you chose which launcher to use.
Now I can use ADW on this thing.
Is Kindle Reader app installable? That would make it worth it. Also are the apps all being installed in the 1gb or can they be installed in the BN partition?
Can't post link. Its a message screen at the center of the screen showing exactly this message: "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]".
When this problem happens, the page doesn't load the images (I checked this a few times)
-When I try to view apps: for example, when I'm browsing apps with the google play app, that error appears, and when I press ok, it returns to the previous page. Trying to open any app anywhere ("people also downloaded", link from another app or webpage to google play app) causes this.
-This happens about 75% of the times. I have to try again few times, and sometimes the error doesn't appear.
-Wifi or mobile data, doesn't matter.
-Happened on my Huawei ideos x5 and still happening on my Samsung galaxy s3.
-This doesn't happen when downloading apps. It has never happened in that situation.
-Happened when I tried to do an in app purchase. Aftter putting password, it said that card not valid. With second try it worked.
-I have tried many times clearing caches/datas of google play and the framework thing, rebooting after but didn't help.
-I have cleared cache in recovery too, with no success.
-I have removed and replaced google account, didn't help. (at the same time with the 2 previous operations)
-I have installed new google play versions.
This seems to be account dependent problem. I haven't found a working solution yet.
EDIT: Plot twist: Now I ALSO get the more common problem that happens when trying to DOWNLOAD apps. "...could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])". Then I did the data/cache clears to google play and services framework, rebooted and then tried to download. "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]" to NOTIFICATION bar. Then google play app froze and now when i try to download, I get the "...could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])" Message in the google play app.

1) go to your phone / tablets settings & select "applications".
2) Locate "Google Service Framework", Select the "all" tab, & select clear data
3) Locate "Google Play" & select clear data
4) reboot your device.
Still not working.

Here's the fix...
Go into Google Play. Go to settings. Go to content filtering. Uncheck all the boxes except for 'Everything.' It may ask you to create (or enter) a password. Do it. Back out of the settings. Go back into settings. Go to content filtering. Check all boxes. Cross your fingers. Apps should now download and update.
Good luck and post your results with this post quoted in your reply if it worked for you.

Maybe I should mention that I first followed the instructions posted in here with the framework services clear data and all. Not sure if that is part of what made mine suddenly work or not.
The problems began for me when I got the 4.3 update.
This was the little tweak I made that got me updating and downloading again. Sorry if it doesn't work for you.
Just remove you're account and sign in again

I am having the same problem too. This started when I updated to 4.3 on my Nexus 4 phone. Except I get an error code of "7" instead of "5" when purchasing a paid app, and a "5" when I try to download or update an app. Very frustrating!
So, I purchased this tablet: Teclast x80h as advertised from manifacturer with dualboot Windows 8.1 and Android 4.4.4.
So far I can say Windows is working fine, haven't found a problem with it.
But When I booted the Android I face a common problem in the Google Play: No connection and the button retry.
I searched google and youtube and tried most of the things people wrote there.
1. checking the auto time/date update
2. the timezone
3. deleting all cache from the app
4. I rooted the device using: Kingroot and iRoot and tried to edit the hosts file. But in it there only was this line: 127.0.0.1 localhost - so I had nothing to change there. Tried to edit it anyway with total comander with granted root priv. - I receive "re-mount error".
5. I also tried to fix the issue with a fix from Frontier given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...8-air-3g-tablet-9-7-2048x1536-t2913035/page43 , but sadly it didn't solve the issue for me.
Any other insight you can give me is welcome.
Thanks in advance to whoever comes to help.

I have the same problem and have tried all morning to fix it. I have managed to root and have tried following Frontiers instructions but just get the same problem at the end of it.
I also found it impossible to delete Play Store using settings as it is a system app, but managed it using an app called "system app remover". Then replaced it with the apk from Frontier but still no luck!

http://bbs.teclast.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=262279&highlight=x80h+play+store
Applied fix:
with root browser:
Edit /system/build.prop to:
ro.product.device=picassowifi
ro.product.local.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
Now Google Play is crashing just before displaying the content ofthe store. Even got it working for few minutes after reinstalling Google Play app and Google Play Services, but after tying to download some app from it it started crashing again. I'm open for suggestions :>
I have those settings in as well, but Play store not working at all. I will try deleting them both and reinstalling

okay, guys, that's how I fixed it:
Fix for Google Playstore on Teclast x80h dualboot
requirements:
For Rooting the tablet:
iRoot
Kingroot
First you run Kingroot - all is in chinese, but it's pretty straight forward deal.
Then you run iRoot and finish the job.
Then you need the following apks:
superSU
root manager
uninstaller (root)
link2SD
google play latest
google play services latest
All this is available on APKmirror.
Copy them somewhere on the tablet (I used the Download folder)
step 1. Install superSU - to be able to grant root privileges to the other apps.
step 2. install root manager
step 3. open it and edit /system/build.prop to:
ro.product.device=picassowifi
ro.product.local.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
Then save the changes.
step 4. uninstall the Google Play app that came preinstalled with the tablet. (You can do it with any root uninstaller.)
step 5. install the Google Play apk
step 6. install the Google Play services apk and reboot
step 7. install Link2SD apk and run it. Find the google play app in the list press it and when it opens choose "action" and then make it a system app.
step 8. Reboot the tablet.
Enter the credentials in for your google account and then download any app you want :>
Hope that will help someone. Took me lots of time to figure it out.
Took info from several sources here on XDA and from youtube.
All credit goes to them.
I had done all of the above yesterday and still it didnt work. But today I got a Google Play Services update via Mobo Market and Play Store worked after that!
Got the same tablet and of course play store didn't work. Expected this would require extensive hacks, but apparently there is an update as soon as you connect to internet. Just click update app on the bottom left and then you'll see two buttons (all on Chinese), click the left one and it will download the update for you.

yea, when I received it, that update was downloading a broken zip file and it was giving error. That's why I had to do all that to fix it. Now I'm happy with the tablet.

Which method did you use for enabling the Play Store?
You should repeat your Remix OS installation and use this method. Don't forget restarting Remix OS after enabling the Play Store - then you should not get the error message you described.
The key issue here is that Jide did not provide the required reboot when it was needed. You need to reboot as soon as the Play Store enabler is done. To fix this, enable the root console in either jide settings or experimental settings, then hit Alt-F1, and in the colsole, type
Code:
wipe data && reboot
This will reboot RemixOS back to a fresh install, so from here, setup as normal, and remember to reboot as soon as the Play Store enabler is finished
This hasn't helped I'm afraid.
I've just a completely clean install and touched nothing other than using the activator followed by a reboot.
Before wiping, I also tried a factory reset and enabling via the console. The only thing I did following the clean boot was to enable the console.
Any other suggestions? I'm all out!

I never use the app. Instead go to settings/experimental features and enable debug terminal console. Then I use ALT&F1 to open debug command line and type :
pm disable com.jide.apppolicy
pm enable com.android.vending
pm enable com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts
pm enable com.google.android.gms
pm enable com.google.android.gsf
pm enable com.google.android.partnersetup
pm enable com.google.android.feedback
pm enable com.google.android.syncadapters.calendar
pm enable com.google.android.gsf.login
pm enable com.google.android.backuptransport
After type pm list packages -d
You should see only the one you disabled
Press ALT&F7 zto exit terminal
IMMEDIATELY REBOOT!

Not deleting, just adding in the existing line. The pb. occurs because manual re-install and the serial file has disappeared in the Remix data partition.

System Settings - Apps - then choose the App you want to open and install APKs with (ex. Chrome) scroll down to "install unknown Apps"
I installed an APK today but just installed with the notification that this APK does not require permissions.
Not sure I like this approach. Just because I want to install one specific app through Chrome doesn't mean I always want to do it without prompting. The S7's approach of "only this time" seems a lot more secure. Not everything needs to be "improved."
