Why Can't I install an .apk File? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I installed the xposed framework I am unable to install any .apk files. It goes through the motions and results in "app not installed". I've tried many and not just from the Xposed Installer.
Yes I have "Unknown sources" checked.
Tried a complete wipe. Same problem.
Asus Zenpad, Android 5.0, rooted, stock ROM

I would recommend uninstalling the main Xposed APK file and framework. Then reinstall making sure have the followed the instructions in this thread specifically for using the Lollipop compatible version of Xposed.

I did that at least twice. No dice.

[Q] How to downgrade SafeStrap from 3.63 to 3.11?

Hi,
I have an XT-912 with SafeStrap 3.63 installed. I'd like to install Eclipse 2.2 but my understanding is that I would have to have SS 3.11 instead. I have the 3.11 apk and was planning just to run the upgrade process described on the hash-of-codes website in reverse (removing 3.63 and installing 3.11), but was wondering if there were any tricks that needed to be employed or possible problems to be aware of.
Thanks.
PS - not sure this matters but just in case: this is an old phone with no carrier service, just using it with wifi.

Open Safestrap 3.63 app from App Drawer, click Uninstall Recovery and after that uninstall Safestrap 3.63 app from your phone.
Then install Safestrap 3.11 Apk, open Safestrap 3.11 app from App Drawer and click Install Recovery.
Anyway, click Thanks if I helped you

Really appreciate the tip but I can't get it to work: now hangs on the open screen and then FC with "Unfortunately, Safestrap has stopped."
I think I did everything right - uninstalled as instructed, used the 3.11 apk from Hashcode's goo-dot-im site (sorry, too few posts to post links), installed as instructed. After it didn't work, I uninstalled 3.11, booted into stock recovery and cleared cache, downloaded the apk again and reinstalled. Still didn't work.
Any thoughts?

I tried it too and I have the same results... I don't know why, maybe it needs a factory reset in order to return to a previous Safestrap version... One more thought, after uninstalling 3.65 try to delete everything related to Safestrap and TWRP from the internal storage, then reboot to Motorola's recovery and wipe cache & dalvik, then try 3.11. It's just a thought, I haven't tried it myself, if it doesn't work then I don't know why...
You might need to delete the safestrap folder from sdcard also.
Haven't tried it but thats what I would do.
Thanks guys but no luck.
And now when I re-install 3.63 it thinks I don't have root. (Verified in Terminal Emulator.)
Oh well, I guess I'll either live with stock or have to start from scratch (e.g. with Matt's utility).
I'm running SS 3.53, trying the same issue. the problem I'm having is that I don't have a working ROM besides Stock, when i go to Stock ROM slot, Safestrap is disabled, and isn't located in the app drawer, I've tried other ROMS for 4.1.2 and they fail during flash, almost immediately. Any suggestions?

Xposed Module not installed

I've tried to get the xposed module to install and after doing it when I start g3tweaks it tells me that it is not installed and I can not do anything in G3tweaks. I've tried both in twrp and by installing the apk in es file explorer.

After installing it, did you open the app, install the framework, and reboot?

Yes I went into xposed installer and clicked on install/upgrade and it said that it would go into recovery and reboot, it went so fast I'm not sure if it did anything or if there were any erorrs but even after that it still says not installed.
OK it's working, I went into Modules in xposed and checked the box for G3 tweaks, DOH!

Xposed on Alpha

hello guys,
i am running xposed framework on ALPHA 4.4.4 my question is how to delete the downloaded modules? when i download a module and install it...i can uninstall it fine by going to Modules>select and uninstall it but when i go to download section and search that module it still shows "INSTALL" instead of download option like that module has been uninstalled but its setup file is still present somewhere. Where are these modules downloaded and how to delete that downloaded file?

Getting Xposed Framework Working

I want to experiment or toy around in the Xposed Framework (with working modules, of course), but cannot for the life of me get the thing to append framework dependencies past installing the basic APK to begin with. I get the basic red notification "Xposed Framework isn't active. Did you install the framework and reboot?"
Granted permissions to KingoUser (rooted with KingoApp so 'KU' is the permissions control instead of SuperSU), so it's not a root issue, to my knowledge.
Hit the install button, reboots, gives the the same red message.
What needs to happen to get this framework up and running proper?
Any help welcome, thanks!
Attempt from Xposed v. 2.6.1 on Stock. Installed straight after factory reset.
Nevermind, got it working. Missed a checkbox in settings.

Correct files for xposed on stock lollipop 5.1.1?

I've installed stock 5.1.1 and am interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully got Xposed installed on this version. I did go through the process of downloading what I thought was the correct SDK (Wanam's ARM SDK22) and the installer, but it didn't work well and I actually had to flash the remover zip. At this point I'm wary of going through all this again, so if you've successfully done this, please let me know what files you used. Many thanks if someone can assist.
I have sucessfully installed xposed framework in my device with 5.1.1 so First you had to root your phone and deodexed your rom to install xposed framework for wanam .
OK, got it working. The latest version for 5.1.1 does not require deodexing, which saved me some work. I found the correct files and installed and all is good. I personally used xposed-v80.0-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211.zip and xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk. Install the xposed installer first, then flash the zip, and I was able to use my favorite xposed modules. Anyone wanting to do this definitely read up on it first, and I keep xposed-uninstaller-20160211.zip on my sd card in case I install something that makes my phone have problems.
