[Q] Can't manually install apk from Explorer - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble manually installing apk files from a file explorer. Whenever I try to, it says I have insufficient memory. But I have over 10gb of available memory. This happened after tinkering with Lucky Patcher and then eventually uninstalling it. Im afraid i might have changed something whithin Lucky Patcher and now I cant reinstall it because of the installation problem. My s6 edge is Pingpong rooted and also has OTG helper if this helps. dont know if it messes up with drive mounting.
Installing from google play is no problem at all.
Thanks for anyones suggestions

Have you try this?

Thank you for reply! Yes I did everything there. Thing is im not allowed to install any app for it shows insufficient memory for every app i try to install. But i think lucky patcher messed it up. But also lucky patcher might be able to fix it. Is there a way for me to manually install lucky patcher so I can bypass the installer menu?
Like extract its files to a specied folder?

I tried installing through adb with this command, adb install -r app.apk
but it still says I have insufficient memory even in adb.
Also, I noticed that Titanium Backup is not recognizing all of my apps. Just a few system apps.

Return to stock...

Yey! I was able to fix it with Rom toolbox! Switched installation path to internal.

[Solved] com.google.process.gapps error

if any have you experiencing
com.google.process.gapps force close error
i have found the way to resolve it
i have attached apps copy them to sdcard and to system/app folder using 644 permissions use root explorer (root required)
and reboot
market, sync, youtube, and many more problems are solved
I was having this issue.. but after a reflash from SEUS it was sorted..
your way sounds much easier.. I had to re-install all my apps again.. root the phone.. delete horrible SE apps etc etc.. took fricken hours! (just because that error seemed to be stopping Market working Grrrrrrrrr!!)
any idea what this gapps app is and what it does? I don't remember deleting it (I generally just get rid of games, user guides etc.. safe stuff, so I was really confused when the error suddenly started popping up)
Cheers for the file tho (I have a copy safely stashed away now for next time!)
the problem i have found is that deleting googleapp.apk and google settings provider. when you do this all other google related apk's malfunction that's where the error comes up

This method was difficult to me, because i did hard reset and i dont have any program(z4root and Astro) and i dont know how install from sd because my Market didnt work.
My one way was repair from Companion

The easiest way around this is (to install a file manager without market).. either use a laptop with BT or find a friend with a bluetooth capable phone and a file manager like astro, stick the file on the laptop/their phone and send it to your phone over BT, once its copied across go to the task bar and select the file and install it. couldn't be easier..
Google talk missing mate ..cud u link me to the apk or upload it?
Thanks
I recommend you not to touch any google.apk's, you can delete googlesearch.apk, enhancedgooglesearch.apk and search.apk, rest of .apk's that have google in its name leave it alone. Also, Setupwizard (or whatever its called (Setup wiz that starts when you first boot your phone or change sim card) is closely related to google.apks and market login, so i recommend you to leave it alone to.
When i deleted it, i was unable to log on my market (when i start marked i only get force close error and my market crashes and i was unable to login to my google acc to do the synh.
Thanks a lot, i wasn't able to copy them directly to the specified folder (i don't have root explorer), but copying the apk to SD and installing them from there seems to solve the error.

for setup wizard, I have deleted it and I can access market without problem.
but, I do sign in into market first before I delete it.
I copied the files to SD and then I installed every single one of them... It worked!
But only to remove the FC message... Still couldnt use Marked... So I reflashed it and recovered with Titanium... 15 mins and I was up n running again...
Thanks dude!!! After days of searching for a solution I downloaded and copied to system\app your pack and it worked.
Now I wonder why these android phones start doing funny things when you try to delete the Google stuff. Maybe that "don't be evil" policy is a thing of the past.
Hi , I downloaded the apps.rar to my phone but it can't extract or install..
it claims the file is empty , even though the filesize says 1,95 MB. Very strange..
I get the com.google.process.gapps error when opening Gmail app.
anyone?

use computer for this. if you still want to use in mini use unrar pro to unrar the file
YES! com.google.process.gapps SOLVED!
@ The Andropirate... You sir are my new hero for the day anyway! I rooted my phone and my buddies and had this horrid error and market freeze for a couple days now with all kinds of bogus advice on how to fix it.
This IS how to fix the problem!
One thing that was not clear to me was copying the files in root explorer which I did do but it didn't seem to make a difference so I installed the files through root explorer from the SD card and that worked. I then simply installed the files from my friends SD card on his phone without the copy process and that worked. I do not think there is a need to copy the files to system/app. Simply extract to SD and install from there through root explorer.
This fix worked on Alcatel PT-980a and a Motorola Citrus
Im a bit of a n00b and when i rooted my x10 mini i went crazy uninstalling everything. Big thanks! I just copied all the apps to my sd card and installed them using root explorer. All fine now after many panicky hours!
By the way.... if you dont have any apps you need and you have this problem, download them from 4shared.com (when searching type the app name all one word followed by .apk e.g. rootexplorer.apk) and transfer to sd card... easy!
Acer A1 running 2.1
I have an Acer S100 A1 running official Eclair 2.1
Made a factory reset thinking that it would solve this gapps problem...
But no, it still pops up each time after I reboot and market is not working...
No file manager comes with the phone...
I cannot find a way to install the google apps in the first post...
Anyone, please
Victor
Is there any possibility to install these apps via recovery? Via .zip or adb?

Ususally this happens when you installed that app earlier and did not uninstall it properly. the actual culprit is the App data which remained and is not getting wiped off and the installer is unable to remove or copy on that file. Hence the error message.
Hope this helps
search /data/app for any odex files, usually deleting them will allow you to install it again.
Yes,like 2 friends above mention. I ever have this problem before after install some app and uninstall it but some file still hide in hidden folder and I want to install that app again(new version) the phone tell me that it has insufficient mem. This is my solution. Install root explorer(you need rooted phone) go to sd/data/app and find the file "xxx.xxxx.odex" and delete it(xxxx stand for the name of that app name). After that I can install that app again with no problem.
If you used LP, as said before, some odex may have been left behind. Running
LP again will clean those files...

[Q] Lucky Patcher Screwup

So I have a Galaxy Player 4.2 USA,
I went into Lucky Patcher to try to remove google ads and disable MXPlayer from creating ad storage and such.
I changed permissions and chose to Rebuild and Install!.
After about five minutes, nothing happened, and then the program quit itself (either or was closed by RAM manager)
So MXPlayer is now uninstalled and nowhere to be found. I tried re-installing from a backup APK I had of the app, but then I get
"Insufficient Space on SD Card"
error from not only the APK but also from the Google Play Store when I try to install this app specifically. I have plenty of available space so weird I'm getting that error.
Obviously I screwed something up, and I really don't know what to do. I read to delete Market cache and possibly even dalvik-cache,
but I don't know what's safe and what to do.
If someone could please tell me what the best option to do would be, that would be great.
Also yes device is rooted, running 2.3.6 Gingerbread, I have TiBu PRO installed and Root Brower.
Thanks!!

Usually Lucky patcher itself can fix that kind of problem i think. If you run Lucky patcher, it will automatically delete unused odex (patch files) which will prevent you installing original app. Wiping dalvik cache is recommended, for I never encountered problem by wiping dalvik cache.

Android installer broken

Hi,
I think I broke my apk installer...sort of.
Since a few days I can't install any apks that are from Google Play, so I think the whole installer for external apps is broken.
Ok, I use Lucky Patcher and I think it has broken it, but only to use the pro features of Titanium and Poweramp...they don't want to recognize their keys from PlayStore for some reason or recheck them and won't find them even after reinstallation of both, app and key. I already tried it with XInstaller and with formating /system and reinstalling the OS via TWRP (running latest PA 5 legacy alpha for LG G2, but there seem to be no such issue known) but both have not helped. I only can install apps by coppying the apk manually to /data/app or /system/priv-app and restart the device. I also made a logcat log while trying to install LMT Launcher so I hope this can help to identify the problem.
If anybody knows a solution, please help, installing apps and updates the manual way is quite annoying.
EDIT: It looks like the Package Manager is trying to install apps on a non existing SD-Card. There is no possibility for an SD-Card on my G2 (only on Korean models) without USB-OTG but the ROM has the buttons in App Overview to move Apps to an SD-Card, so I think the installer tries the same. Is there a way to find out the path where it wants to install apps and Link this (with XPosed) to the real installation folder?

I cant install an APP (App not installed)

That's it, I can't install an app (cytus) from the .apk.
If I download it from the google play I can play and every thing else is ok. but I need to use Lucky patcher too unlock things
BUT, the real problem is that I can't install any version of this apk. (I guess when I was reinstalling it from titanium backup it broke some thing, I don't know)
Additional information:
I've already installed it once; I do have space on my phone; I've reinstalled the ROM and even changed to another one but all them are Lollipop 5.1

Lucky patcher is considered warez on XDA and shouldn't be discussed.
Regarding the rest of your question, it sounds like remnants of the app in question are present, therefore resulting in your play store error. Use a file manager to explore your data and system/data folders to see if you can find anything. If you do, delete it and try again.

Hi, I've already did that. Explored the system and trying find something related to the game but I did a full wipe on my phone and there's nothing left(I guess).
I'm able to download it from google play and play the game as usual but I can't install from the apk. And the same APK can be installed on very other phones
Any other tips?
Some one can help please?
Sorry to post for the 3rd time but I'm still having this issue
