Unable to install apk? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Downloaded an apk to the root of my sdcard. When I click to install it via ES File Explorer, I can't click the "Install" button but the "Cancel" button works. Any help?

I've had this issue with several. Tonight it was the Samsung S Suggest and Samsung Apps apks. Had the same issue with the Amazon Appstore apk a few days ago.

The two Samsung Apps you reference are system app that need to be pushed to the system/apps folder... Use root explorer and paste them into that folder then reboot. Yay...

Not necessarily true... I side loaded both these apps just fine in EsFile Explorer. Try going into recovery and fixing permisions and clear cache/dalvik, bet you already have install from unknown sources checked, but double check just in case. But in the later, it would prompt for you to change it when attempting to install :/

Blasphemy...
No.. Actually good catch... I misunderstood the app answer and was thinking about system apps. But the samsung Apps is a download-able one. Sorry to OP...

Just tried fixing permissions and wiping cache/dalvik. No dice...still won't let me press the "Install" button. Guess I'll try loading them to system/apps but this is bugging me.

Are you using any kind of brightness adjusting app like Lux or Screen Filter? I found that after disabling Lux, I was able to install the apk fine. Then I re-enabled Lux after.

thx man. Strage thing is that rootexplorer cant instal apk´s with enabled screen filter but with es explorer works both (enablade and disabled Scr Filter). btw i have a nexus 4 with 4.2.2

Same problem with Lux and Root Browser. Had to disable Lux and kill the process with System Panel, then reenable it. Also on a Nexus 4 (this was just the thread I found with a Google serach). Is this a bug with Lux or Root Browser?

It's a known bug with lux

I found the bug that had been filed for this here. It's marked as resolved. But it's definitely still present for me.

Unable to install any apk
I have the same problem, have tried to install any apk but the "install" button cannot be clicked. Before i installed Battery Doctor app, still able to install any apk. yes there is an option to put brigthness to auto adjust, is it the cause of problem?
another thing (OOT), my wifi always turn off for no reason, what is the suggestion?
N7000, ICS stock rom and kernel, CWM rooted
Thanks...

Yes, install button going disabled is a bug in android systems, not just Lux, or because of any other brightness reducer app!
If u have any brightness reducer app, it results in disabling the install button for installing any saved app(apps from playstore install without any problem).
Disabling this app will enable the "install" button. :thumbup:

Need to be rooted..

Not installed
On my Tmobile S3 i downloaded and attempted to install but the installer gave said "application not installed" and gave me no input as to why.
I have install from unknown sources checked in security settings so idk why it doesn't work.

You need to root your device and push the apk to /system/app. (you don't just sideload the apk, as it seems you tried to do).
Sorry
Wow, i feel like an idiot. I should have made sure to reread the entire post. I didn't realize it needed to be a system app.
Copied it to system/app and it works perfectly. Sorry about that.
Is there any way to load genie with out being rooted???

you'll need to be rooted, and use an app like Root Explorer, or any app that has a file manager that can access system level. go to System>App> and find two files, one is SamsungCamera.API and SamsungCamera.odex either change the name of both of these files (eg: SamsungCameraOLD.API and. odex) or delete them, either way SamsungCamera.API and SamsungCamera.odex should not exist anymore. now that you've done that, use that root file manger to place his hacked SamsungCamera.apk and place it in the same folder (System>App>). then restart your phone.
note* you may need to mount your R/W card, you can simply do that by the giant button at the top of Root Explorer.

If you're on a deodexed rom, then you won't have those files. Just reboot after dropping the apk in there, make sure your permissions are correct, and you'll be good to go.
What are the correct permissions? I tried flashing the zip through CWM but no go. I'm on a deodexed Rom also tried dropping the Samungcamera.apk file into system/app...
Thanks
I hear there was a camera mod that made shooting videos a much higher quality but it only worked for the international version of the GSlll. Perhaps doing it for this would be possible at a later date?

I am actually working on the higher bit-rates also. I have a few versions right now, in testing, the only issue I am running into right now is that when you use the power button for the shutter, it also triggers the power menu. It still takes the picture and all, but its an annoyance.
Has the video recorder always had that click-click sound whenever the ringer volume is on?? That's really annoying. I thought shutter sound in the camera controlled both.

CWM and TWRP installs are interchangeable in most, if not all cases. Definitely when you're talking about a simple script like this one.

I saw that the codename android ROM (i know the its a different ROM build but maybe he has some ideas) has a the power button as the shutter already. Maybe you can ask the OP if he could advise you on the issue you are having.
Here is the link to the ROM.

Can you elaborate further? I did the same thing. I'm not currently rooted and was hoping to avoid having to reset the phone to re-enable.
The "enable" button that should be there really isn't there.

I think what he is saying is go into /system/app using RootExplorer and tap on the .apk to initialize the Android Installer. Since all you did was disable it, it should still be sitting there in /system/app. Just install it again. A wipe of dalvik cache may be necessary, but I'm not sure about that.

Unfortunately that didn't work from rootexplorer. I checked logcat and it talked about classes.dex related errors while trying to load that APK. So I guess this method is a no-go.
Can't exactly clear dalvik cache since the phone isn't rooted.

"Internet" app from Note 2 [SOLVED]

Hello.
Can someone please port "Interent" app from Note 2? My understanding that app is "official" android's browser, what we got on N3 is something else...
Not only it slow, but many websites don't display properly and zoom doesn't work.
For example http://500px.com/photo/53047668 on N2 I could zoom in on the photo, on N3 I can't.
N3: com.sec.android.app.sbrowser v1.5
N2: com.sec.android.browser v4.3
I've tried restore this app with Tib, but obviously it failed.
Thank you.
[EDIT]
For these who's looking for the same solution:
1) delete|move or rename /system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk
2) copy View attachment SecBrowser.apk into /system/app/
3) set permission on it to rw-r-r (chmod 644)
4) optional if you want get rid of samsung's version of "Internet" app: delete|move|rename SBrowser.apk and SBrowser.odex in /system/app

I've wondered this too as the zoom doesn't quite work like on the N2. I noticed it first off with the XDA website.
However, rotate to landscape mode and it looks more like it should. Give it a try.
It might be the knox as well .. I know that using the same internet app you aint able to watch videos from certain sites. This phone has been nothing but security issues out the box .

Decompile a note 2 ROM and then go into system/app and get the sec browser apk and install it on your note 3. The installer should install it but if it doesn't push the apk manually into system app and change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot phone.

That's pretty much what Tib does, but the browser crashes on N3 (the rom I'm using on N2 is stock deodexed I317UCUBMJ4)
I installed the browser from the ATT note 2 Jedi x 19 I believe it was and that worked just fine for me on this N900T running on ATT.

So far the only weird thing I've noticed is that when it gives you a chose in which browser open a link, both browsers shows as their package name, instead of "internet" is it used to be. And in android's browser instead "search on page" in menu it says "discourage automatic dev..."
