So I've narrowed this down to being an issue with install unknown app permissions. In my list I only have a select few apps and none of the apps request permission when they try to install. Furthermore if I click show system applications nothing more shows.
Anyone else run into this?
Thanks

Not sure but if the apks that you are trying to install require writing to the Android\data, Android\media or Android\obb directories then you have a problem on Android 11. I've tried apks that need to write data here and they won't install. Android 11 has made these directories read only :-( except for official Google playstore apps. Android 10 allowed writing to them from any app.

Scoped storage is an iPhone nightmare come true. Not needed and a system burden.
Big sister Gookill thinks you're too stupid to keep your phone secure.
Pie was the last good Android OS... Android has been in a high G flat spin since then and is descending faster with each new version.

No idea the destination path but they install just fine in an app which ALREADY is listed in install unknown apps. Anything that isn't never requests permission and it never added to this area to be able to modify the permission. It may have been the app i was trying to use (older version of ES file explorer) was too old to request the correct permission.

Many older pre-scoped storage era apps won't load on 11. Updated ones should.
Even with Android 10 there's a lose of functionality; for instance Karma Firewall loses its useful logging feature and trusted overlay apps are gutted.

Yeah I put a newer version of ES file explorer on and it did request the permissions. My fault, sorry to bother you all.

I am using the dsixda kitchen to build ROMs for my Desire HD. I have built a few ROMs now and on the whole they have worked OK. However there area few apps that are out of date and a few I would like by default. I know I can download the majority of them from the market but I would like them just there by default. I know apps get updated all the time so I will never get perfection so bear with me.
I have sucessfully added ASTRO, HandyCalc, ROM Manager SMS Backup & Restore and VISIONary+ and these work fine. I have also updated the .apk's for Facebook to 1.8.1, Google Maps to 6.0.3, Twitter to 3.0.0, YouTube to 2.3.4 & GMail to 2.3.5.2.
Now heres my problem - If I try to update Adobe Reader to 10.1.1 by replacing the AdobeReader.apk with the latest one it doesn't work. Once the ROM is built and installed I can see the .apk is there in /system/app however there is no icon in All Apps for Adobe Reader and I can't open .pdf's.
I also use Google Goggles & Skype, however if I add these .apk's to the ROM they appear to be installed and start OK however Goggles crashes as soon as the camera is started from the app and Skype lets you run through the initial setup but then says the app needs reinstalling.
Is there something I am missing or are there apps that can't be updated and others that can't be included in ROMs?

My guess is your using these apps in /system/app? If so keep in mind that most apps are built for /data/App. Sometimes applications act funny on system. If they are not on the system and on the data then that's just strange.

I was looking into that but I thought you needed extra script commands to get these recognised during 1st-time boot? At the moment I have these apps installed via the market, however I can't find where they are on the phone - I am using Astro to view/search and can't find the updated Adobe Reader, however it is installed.
I think I might be missing some fundamental stuff here...

/data/app
/data/app-private
Then you can also check and see if installed to the sdcard maybe?
/data is empty. On the sdcard there is an 'Android' folder and in here is a /data folder that has other folders (com.android.providers.media, com.facebook.katana, com.google.android.apps.books, com.google.android.apps.maps).
I have enabled hidden files in Astro (but it could be a limitation of Astro?). Astro has an application backup option that allows me to backup any of these added applications into .apk files and then restore them later.

/data shows empty when you try and view it with astro...
Root Explorer (and some others I'm sure) will show everything in there...

Thanks Going to be rebuilding shortly
I found this post whilst searching - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654739#
In there FireSokar mentions adding some lines to the update script. For the Desire HD it is an updater-script and the format/syntax is different can someone tell me what I need to add to the updater-script and where it should be put (at the very end, somewhere in the middle etc?)
Thanks

I rooted my nook tablet with the SnowballMod root and everything is working fine, but some of the apps in the android market are missing. I have tried editing the build.prop file and clearing the market data and cache to spoof the market, but it still wont work. does anybody have ANY ideas?
theres not some, more like a lot and thats normal cuz its happening to everyone. apps that dont appear on the market have to be downloaded as .apk files and then transferred to your nooks sd card i use drop box and es file explorer for this procedure
how would i do this? how close are the people to fixing this and being able to install custom roms? i need facebook.
sideloading if it is not working from market.

Copy the .apk to the device and select it in a file explorer program.

It's not technically broken. The market should not show you apps for which your device does not meet the requirements. That doesn't meet they don't work, but that you have to install them another way. After updating my phone to ICS, I had to sideload Tapatalk, since it is not "technically" compatible with ICS, even though it does work.

1) Use the web app (it's pretty good, and doesn't have any background processes)
2) Look for the thread in the App section titled "[download] Facebook, Twitter and Google+ apk"
- You have problems with the application Google Play Services 7.0.97?...
Google with the latest updates of play services has caused many problems, continuous blocks and excessive consumption of the battery...
I have not found a definitive solution to use version 7.0.97, but I can explain an alternative and provisional...
- What you need?
1. Root
2. Google Play Services .apk version 6.6.03 universal armeabi CPU (I preferred version and stable)
3. File manager with permission root
How to?
1. uninstall the previous version of the Google Play Services
2. install version 6.6.03 (...)
3. create a folder in /Data/app with name com.google.android.gms-2 , permits changes in RW-R-R (this folder blocks the automatic update)
Note:
- Updated from sdcard worked

Great ... until it gets auto-"upgraded" by Google. Since this is not listed as an app in Play, how would one mark to not auto-upgrade. Maybe if it shows on recent upgrades in "my-apps," auto-upgrade can be unchecked from there.
Tasker scripts and/or the "Amplfiy" Xposed module can be used to tame the battery drain, or use an app-permissions that might come with your ROM to take away keep-awake. Will do nothing for the instability, however.
Maybe post a link to the old version.

This looks like for lollipop.
In previous Android, using Link2sd, this would BE the link to the apk.
So what I did try was side-loading 6.6.03. The downgrade installed without a hitch thanks to the xinstall module, link2sd symlinked it, fine.
Then rebooted. Hoped to intercept the expected update and uncheck the Play Services auto-upgrade at that point. Unfortunately, most recent Google App (Search/Now) will not eat 6.6.03 so got com.google.process.gapps stop messages. The Google Now pane offered a click to install Play Services but this did not work.
Attempt to side-load 7.0.86 simply hung so trying to restore 7.0.97 from Titanium which also takes quite a bit of time but should eventually work (hope). So far, not successful, but will get it. Had side-loaded it originally.
is it causing problems on every version of android or only on kitkat ??

So I have seen the 6.0 and the CM permission system before.
Both have a toggle that allows setting permissions for preinstalled system apps aswell.
Is that possible in OxygenOS too?
(The whole reason for me to get a phone with a permission system was to be able to restrain all that Google Play stuff...)

CM's privacy guard can do exactly that, even with system apps. OOS's permissions can only limit non-system apps, so you'd need to remove all the Google Play apps as system apps and re-install as user apps (or convert them to user apps with Titanium Backup). However, this would need root. Not sure if you wanted a non-root option, but I can't think of any that would not require root.

I was indeed wondering about a non root option, i.e. if there is a toggle i just missed.
So I guess I'll wait for the 6.0 update as the native android permission system works for system apps aswell, and they'd be stupid to replace it.
If you are tired to get free space although you deleted large videos on your android, then you need to delete APKs that automatically stored on your android every time you install or upgrade your applications.
Here is how to delete Apks:

Suggesting 360 security for deleting APKs is not a good thing.... I think you should have suggest a good explorer like MiXplorer
