Hello all,
since an update some versions ago i am not able to start the weather app. Due to the fact that it is a system application i am also not able to uninstall it an reinstall. So my last hope before doing a hard reset is to install the current version manually. But i don't know where to get the appxbundle.
Can you help?
Thank you
Unzip, install from phone.

I have a Huawei X1 (U810) which I recently rooted and after deleting all the bloatware and a really old version of facebook, I installed version 1.9 by apk, I uninstalled it yesterday trying to install the latest version from Google play, but now I get this problem...
Google Play Store starts installing it and the phone just restarts it self every time, and just for the facebook app, no problem with any other apps, I tied to install version 1.9 again by apk and same problem.
I've tried to push the apk using cmd and abd install command same thing happens, I formatted the cache and misc partitions and same problem, is there any file I need to delete, or what...
I don't feel like doing a factory reset, and if I did would that fix it?
I'm using a Sony Ericsson X10 mini (not rooted) that still suffices quite ok. However, after a while it tends to become slow. What I periodically do to make the device again a bit faster is reinstall the original firmware using Sony PC Companion. This re-installs the latest available firmware for the X10 mini, being 2.1-update1 (kernel version 2.1.1.A.0.6).
The last time I reinstalled the firmware I ran into an issue. After the installation I got to work installing a few apps. I noticed that all the apps that I install keep showing up in the market as "Installing", even though they are already installed and working properly. Switching the device off and on doesn't help. Also clearing the cache of Android Market did not resolve this. All these apps remain showing as "installing" in the market app.
I also noticed that the version of Android Market that I currently have is not the version of Android Market that I had before reinstalling the firmware. As far as I know, Google Play is not available on Android 2.1, but I definitely remember that I had a newer version of Android Market installed on Android 2.1 than the one that is installed now. From previous re-installations I remember that the device at some point would mention that Android Market needs to be updated. The same goes for some of the pre-installed apps such as Facebook and Google Maps. However, this time it does not give such a message at all. Opening Android Market also does not trigger any update at all. Also going into the settings and looking for updates does not trigger any update. Is there any way to force android to update the market and the pre-installed apps?
When I open Android Market and look in the "Downloads" section, it shows a list of all the apps that I had installed on the device previously. When I check play.google.com on my PC, it lists the same apps, but they show as "installed" on my phone. Even though I have not installed them yet. And I cannot find any way to remove these apps from the "My Apps" section on play.google.com. Could this be interfering with the android market app on my phone?
Is there any way to trigger Android to update the Android market and the other pre-installed apps? I'm very hesitant to go and root the device, that still appears to me as a lot of work. Especially since I know that it used to work correctly previously.
A small update in case somebody in the future encounters the same problem:
To find out whether it really is my Google account that interferes, I have opened a completely new Gmail account, and used that when setting up the phone after the firmware re-installation. And lo and behold: within a few minutes after the initial setup of the phone, the market application was suddenly replaced with version 2.3.6. No notification whatsoever, it was just suddenly there. I don't know the version number of the old Market app that I had. Somehow, the version numbering that is used in the application manager is different than the "2.3.6" formatting. The version number that is shown in settings>application manager went from 2002009. to 2002306.
Having the updated Market app, I wanted to relink the phone with my normal Gmail account. However, I found that apparently, you can only sync with a different Gmail account by resetting the entire phone, so that I have the original problem again. But at least the fact that the Market app updated itself allowed me to copy the updated market .apk file so that I could manually update the market after reinstalling the firmware. And having installed the new Market app, it also recognized the pre-installed aps such as Google Maps.
It should have been possible to delete your new gmail account in th settings app and add your old one. Failing that, doing a factory reset would have deleted all the user-data but still have kept the updated market-app.
Hi I'm 16 and new to the whole rooting thing. I just rooted my phone yesterday for the first time and everything seemed to go perfectly. Everything works so much faster and my phone looks so much nicer with the new customization features. I'm glad I finally rooted it. Then I found out that my "Package Installer" does not work. Every time I try to uninstall an app or install an APK from the browser, it says "unfortunately Package Installer has stopped." I cannot even open "My Files" due to this. I also can't do things such as enabling the weather in my status bar. I thought that maybe it was just a faulty Resurrection Remix ROM but then I have tried a few other ones now too. If anyone can help me with this one problem I would appreciate it very much.

Try Wiping Dalvik Cache & Cache in Your Recovery & Reboot .. See The Error Occurs Again or Not .. Or Try Wiping The Cache & Data of the Package Installer Apk in Settings/Apps/Package Installer ..
If these Two Doesn't Work ,Try Clean Flashing The ROM Again ..
Even After The Clean Flash It occurs Means..Then Its The RR ROM Issue Which You Have Installed ..
Report It to the OP, ROM Thread In XDA or Other Sites On Where You Have Downloaded The ROM ,So That They Will Take A Look About This Error ..
Good Luck ..
Okay the above solutions did not work; however, I was wondering if it was possible to just uninstall and reinstall package installer. I know how to uninstall it, I just haven't tried to do it yet because I don't know where I would even find it or how I would reinstall it (since there won't be a package installer on my phone). Does anyone know anything that would help me try to solve the problem this way? Any other solutions altogether? Thanks!
Hey guys i just want add some input, i was having same problem on Samsung Galaxy S6 marshmellow. wiping cache/ delvick cache gave me only a little help. but this was basically because of one app called APP LOCK , i uninstalled that and then all is fine now.
Hope this help.
Thank you so so much!
Bro,
I have been struggling with my phone and the inability to load apps via apk or uninstall apps unless I go to Roy the play store and I could not figure out why it was driving me crazy. Just came across your poss and gave it a try. Always had that app on my phone but never used it. Uninstalled it and finally free. Thank you so much. I have suffered OMG
I had to remind myself that the solution to this problem on my phone is to re-enable Download manager. I disable Download manager as a way to keep from getting certain updates and if it's disabled package installer will stop working.
I am 11 and wants to help you
First download Magisk v20.4.
Then install it via twrp.
Download aptoide to computer.
Run adb install <your file directory> in cmd （or powershell and add .\ before adb）.
At last open aptoide and turn on update for system apps,install beta apps and root installation. It will request root access.Grant the root access to it.Done.You can install any app on aptoide.If not on aptoide send the apk to me and I will upload it.

Here's a fix.
If the same problem occurs throughout serveral Roms, And you use a custom Theme, Then the theme is "probably" the issue.
Happened to me on both SpaceOS and Odyessy, I changed the theme to default and it worked.
Maybe it works?
I don't know why the theme messes the package installer up tho.
I've build an app in Unity which has been working fine for months.
I then decided to reinstall the app because of an issue that later turned out to be a problem with a CSV file the app needed to access.
But after I had uninstalled the app and wanted to reinstall it I received the "App not installed Error".
I tried to install a previous version of the app and that installed just fine. I then uninstalled that because I wanted to try the newest version again. But now I'm not just unable to install the newest version but also the version before that. Every time I install and uninstall a different version I'm then unable to install that particular version again.
I've tried: - Rebooting the phone - Deleting the app's folder in the "Android->Data" folder - Just about everything I could find searching on Google for help
I'm on a Samsung Note 8 and I recently upgraded to Android Pie
Edit: I am unable to build a new version because I'm away from home for the next week.
Hi Everyone,
So apparently after updating my XA2 Ultra to android 9.0 I am unable to install the themes I used
via APK. I read on the internet that this is something Sony is disabling for some reason.
Does anyone know a way to install a theme using the APK file and not from the Google Pay store?
Every time I try to Install them It just tells me that it couldn't be install and that's it.
Any help will be appreciate it.
Thanks everyone.

Hi,
I used to have the same problem, for *some* APKs even on 8.0. What i did (not sure what caused the problem, actually) was:
1) Enable unknown sources via dev. menu
2) Disable the Play Protect and built-in antivirus(es), e.g. AVG
3) Disable app checking from Google options (this might be tricky, because the app itself didn't show me this option, bit it came up eventually, don't remember how, i think when you try to install the .apk via ES or some other file explorer.)
Now it gives me the "App not installed" or "Unable to install" only when i try to update an app that was not originally installed from the Play Store, but (for example Aptoide or other Black Market store) it can be remedied by simply uninstalling the old app and install the new one.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
