So the problem is that you can't install applock, am I correct?
Did you check if the app is compatible with your phone? Did you download the apk from a reliable source? Did you tick install from unknown sources?
IMO, the problem is not space issue, but rather a compatibility issue with the app apk file and your phone.

Yes it is compatible
And the apk is installed from Google play store
and I installed the app from this apk before
And yes I tick install from unknown sources

If you've installed it before, then the issue could be some sort of corruption (either from interupted deletion or freezing). Was there any folders created by the app? Try deleting the app's folders manually using a file manager, then try installing again. If all fails, a factory reset could fix the problem if this is the case. Just be careful if you are on stock 4.0.x because it contains superbrick kernel, meaning that you could potentially ruin your device. Just make sure to backup.

Thank you @gsstudios
I deleted the folder created by app
And moved the apk to the internal memory
And it installed successfully
Thank you gsstudios another time

[Q] Google Music Assistance

Hoping someone could help:
I am running nightly 4/22 with gapps 4/22 I have never been able to load the google music app from the store. I am currently running the stock ICS music.apk. If I try to install the new google music i get the "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again"... If I delete the music.apk or uninstall via apps or TI Backup and try to install the new version from the store I get "Application already exists". Does anyone have any clue why I am stuck in this stupid cycle...
I found the following via google support: If you receive the "Package file was not signed correctly" error, this is because your device is not on a user build. If your device is on a "userdebug" build with "test-keys" in the build description, the Google Play Music update will not be able to be installed from Google Play at this time.
Dont know if this applys to cm9 or not as I dont understand any of the above. I beleive I had heard of people running this app on CM9, so I assume its my machine specifically.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Are you in the US ? Do you have a tick in allow unknown sources ,under settings/security.

UPDATE- I downloaded the newest google play music .apk and renamed to music.apk. I took the stock apk and replaced with the new one within the rom zip. re flashed rom and it worked. Unfortunately it doesn't show I have purchased via the google store, so it will never update itself. I will probably have to do this edit anytime I flash a new rom.
I have tried changing the apk name and it doesnt work. Also went to store and tried to install the app on top of the one loaded and it just sticks on "installing"
At least its working for now.

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...

Are you installing from Google Play .
jje
No. I put the .apk file on my phone and tried to install from the phones file manager. I also tried ASTRO but still nothing ...

Then try redownloading the apk file. Maybe download is corrupt or something.
And if possible, use google play
Astro is just root explorer that can be used to explore root files. It doesnt have anything regarding installation of APKs (apps) unless they have to be thrown directly into FS.
I tried to redownload, I also downloaded from another mirror...
I can't download from the store because what I'm trying to install is a full cracked version...
I guess something in ICS doesn't allow the installation of these kinds of APKs...

You got some balls to ask this kind of question here on XDA

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

Can't install apks

When I try to install an app it says app not installed. I have tried signing the app, changing the version number and can't get it to work. I have tried installing apks I have downloaded and patched apks from lucky patcher and nothing works. So is there something that doesn't allow the phone to install modified apps?
I can't install samsung keyboard apk on my samsung galaxy s9+
Are you trying to install a new version of an apk that's already on your phone? If so, can you uninstall the older version first?
it is Android 8.0 security features. Google removed install unknown source. You need to give specific permission to file browsers or apps that does the install - for example, if you have app, copy to your phone, and open Samsung File, and click to install.

Yeah I did that to allow installs from Samsung file browser and lucky patcher but still not installing. It let's me push the install button and starts the process then says app not installed. I made sure that the previous version is not installed and reset the phone but still not working
Yeah I have allowed installs from the apps I am using to try to install and there isn't a previous version on the phone I made sure to uninstall the app and restart the phone after and still not allowing the install. It starts the install then says app not installed

the app you trying to install, unmodified one, go apkmirror.com and search for it, it should list different version, some apps has arm and arm64 version, download it to your phone, and install it.
your s9/s9+ are arm64

Emm nobody?
Samsung blocked sideloading most of it's system apps. Nothing you can really do about it.
Replace app with tutuapp
Your Android application may not be suitable for them. What you need to do now is:
Try updating Android, otherwise you go to the store by reinstalling your device, but this is very time consuming and costly. You can also use tutuapp android (visit tutuappplus.net to download) this free app store that helps me use great apps for Android.
