This has been annoying me for awhile now. I am running a Lollipop ROM on my OnePlus One, and I have not been able to install any apps by opening their APKs to install directly. It worked fine before (shortly after a fresh install), but now every time I try to open an APK file to install, I get "app not installed" as soon as I click the install button.
I can install and update apps through the Play store just fine. I have plenty of space free for new apps to be installed (more than 10 GB), and I have already allowed installing apps from unknown sources under settings.
I also just found out that Titanium Backup wouldn't restore any of my apps. My current install is still relatively fresh, with some apps restored through Titanium Backup (before it stopped working along with APK installing). I would like to know the cause of this, and I don't want to reinstall just so this will happen again.

I don't know what the issue is, but I cannot seem to install/update anything from the market. I keep getting "Package file invalid". I wanna say the problem is s2e, but I have no idea.
I have the download cache, apps, and private apps moved to sd-ext.
I have an LG Optimus V running IHO.
clear data and cache for the market
and force stop it
and try download again, should be work

That unfortunately didn't seem to do anything. Still getting "Package file invalid" on new installs and upgrades. ='(
It's weird, some new apps install, but most don't. Also, no updates will install. =(
Try reinstalling/trying another *2sd script/app.
By the way, if third party content (Non-market) is installing, try flashing the latest GAPPS from ROM Manager/here.
Or reinstalling market (It's easy to manipulate system apps with Titanium Backup). If the market is installed as a user app, it will cause problems.

According to Titanium Backup, the market (version 3.1.3) is installed as a system app.
So, what apps2sd app (script) do you suggest? I have my apps installed on my sd-ext partition, so I don't think I can just use Cyanogenmod's built-in one.
I've tried re-flashing gapps, but that didn't help ='(
I /could/ just re-format my phone, and re-install the ROM, but I don't feel like it (I have backups of everything thanks to Titanium Backup).
I updated my market to 3.3.11, and that seems to have helped. Kinda.
I can install new apps now (well mostly, I still got "Package file invalid" on one or two), and I was able to update some apps (some still gave "Package file invalid").
I had to uninstall/reinstall to get some to update, also. The new market helps, but my problem's still not 100% fixed.
I did a clean install of a stock Samsung ROM on my GS2.
Google offers to restore my phone and it starts to restore all my previously installed apps from the Market.
This stopped after 10 or so apps, and I restarted my phone.
Now I see I have the 10 or so listed under "Installed" in My Apps in the Market, all the rest are under "Not Installed".
How can I force my phone to start downloading and installing these ones under "Not Installed" without going into each one and installing manually?
use titanium backup
My android is causing some problems. I am planning to factory restore my phone.
I have a few questions...
I have purchased lots of apps from Google play store. I do not want all the apps to be downloaded. How can I prevent all apps from getting downloaded to my phone?
There is a firmware upgrade waiting to be installed right now. is it possible to delete the firmware? I do not want to put that on my phone....
Re-downloading Apps
It has been my experience that only those apps that were actually installed on the phone are automatically re-downloaded. So, you could go to Settings, Apps, ALL, and uninstall those apps that you don't want to be downloaded after you restore. It might also be good to reboot after uninstalling, and before restoring.

How about purchased apps? I do not have any purchased apps installed on my phone (just purchased). I do not want them to be downloaded.
I have unlocked the bootloader of my new AT&T HTC One 64 GB, installed CWM and rooted.
When I started my phone, google play stated that there were updates to a lot of apps (like Chrome, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon kindle etc) which are all system apps. So I went ahead, updated them. Then as usual, I went to titanium backup and integrated the updates into rom/system. I cleaned Dalvik and cahce. When I restarted, google play said again that the same apps are out of date and wanted to re-update them. And sure enough when I checked versions on them, they were the old ones.
So decided to go the "make these system apps normal apps" e.g. move them out of the rom to data, update, move them back to system app directory. Same problem here, after a restart old versions in the rom showed up again.
Then I decided to un-install the apps. When I un-install them through titanium backup, after a restart they are back.
Like a bad nightmare.... Any ideas?

Same for me :
My ATT HTC One is unlocked and rooted already with CWM no-touch installed.
I installed ES File explorer as well as Titanium Backup Pro and gave both root privileges when they asked for them via Super SU
I can "Uninstall", via titanium backup, all the bloatware apps but when I reboot they come back.
Similarly, through ES File explorer I run the root explorer section and choose to uninstall system apps. I then successfully remove the bloatware, but it again comes back upon reboot.
Are there any other methods I can try or any successful bloatware removals for the One from anybody here? Is it a matter, as another thread about the Incredible suggested, a matter of the kernel not allowing writes to the /system while running? If so, how do I remove bloatware from Recovery?
Thanks!
any we need a kernel that allowed writing to the /system to stop this htc added some new code
It's because the kernel does not allow the /system partition to be modified. You need to flash a kernel that has the security disabled. I'm running the Renovate rom from the Intl One forums and that kernel has security disabled and works fine on the AT&T version
Hey, after deodexing apps in lucky patcher some of my apps are gone, I've tried to restore them with Titanium backup but it get stuck restoring forever, I've tried to install app from apk (Swiftkey will be example)
the problem is that when I try to install Swiftkey from apk it says "Do you want to install an update to this built-in application?" even if there is no Swiftkey installed anywhere on the phone, next problem is that when I continue with update it won't install it because of "low space" even if I have more than 500MB free, how can I fix this?
