[Q] [ROM port] App not installed & Unknown error -110 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
I'm porting a ROM to my device (HDC Samsung GT-I9500 MTK6577 based) and I'm stuck with a problem that is getting me out of my mind, I hope you'll help me with that, here the details I got :
The device :
A fake Samsung Galaxy S4 based on the MTK6577 :
Stock ROM : Android JB 4.1.1 (With crappy Touchwizz UI)
ROM I want to port : Android JB 4.2.2 (Stock Android)
The device is very close to the Iris 455, I've tried to flash this ROM here and it worked, I just had to change those files to fix WiFi issue and Bluetooth issue :
\system\lib\modules\mtk_stp_wmt.ko
\system\lib\modules\mtk_wmt_wifi.ko
\system\lib\libbluetooth_mtk.so
\system\lib\libbluetoothem_mtk.so
The problems :
I can't install any APK manually or any app via Google Play Store. ("Unknown error -110" for GP and "App not installed" with manual install)
I can't mount the SD external card. (SD card damaged) [Fixed with the ZTE v970/v970m]
Camera is reverted but that's not really a problem for me.
Messaging app crashing on any ROM I tried.
What I've tried :
For the apps install issue :
Flashed new Gapps. (worked but still can't install apps)
Installed new Busybox.
Push APK with ADB. (Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR])
But none of those made a concrete progress.
For the SD card not mounting :
Chkdsk on SD card.
Format to FAT32.
Inserted it on another mobile to format it.
And still none of these options worked.
I've followed the log to try to find the bug or to find any clues, but I got nothing really interesting.
Those bugs do not exist in the Stock ROM, I'm just trying to figure out how to solve those problems.
Thanks in advance ! If you need any other informations, please let me know.

Try this:
1. Install minimal ADB;
2.Open the terminal in a PC and type:
adb shell ENTER
su ENTER
mkdir /data/app--lib ENTER
This should take care of the problem. I hope this helps.

On the second issue try this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123239 read particularly from page 165. The whole thread is very educative as as far as MTK devices are concerned,

Well thank you for this tip! That's a great topic!
Here are the news :
With the other ROM I was trying to port, no way, mounting the external SD card is impossible, even if I tried all the guides I've found in the topic, the good news is, I've found another ROM here that mounted the two cards without any problem ! (I'm very thankful to superdragonpt for that awesome ROM ^^ )
The bad news is that the APK install issue is still live :/ ! With the two ROMs (the IRIS and the ZTE one) I got the same error no matter what I try I've tried the commands you've provided me but with no concrete results.. Tried also to chmod 755 in case of the app folder were set in a wrong chmod but nothing happened (rebooted several times to be sure).
The other bad news is that WiFi and BT are not working, I'm currently on that issue trying to fix that. [Fixed]
So any ideas for the APK installs? Apps placed in /data/app are not visible when flashed in the phone by the way.

Good to know that you solved the WIFI problem.How, I downloaded the same ROM yesterday and I having WIFI problems.PM me and I will give you the link to Dropbox for a file that has saved my ass so many times.I have three Iris 501 ROMs fully working.

Yep !
Still, I've found another critical bug about the phone app that I can't fix :/ ! The phone hangs when it recives/emits a call and then just reboot, I've passed the whole yesterday trying to fix that but without success. I'm really sad, giving up after all this progress is going to make me sick..
