Apk will not install - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
OK, I have enabled installation from "unknown sources" but to my frustration, some apks refuse to install. Most especially Mobdro and Contact Optimizer.
When I click these apks, I get the option to "Install" or "Cancel". If I click on "Install", it does nothing regardless of the number of times I click but once I click on "Cancel" it exits the installation process.
I have installed other apks successfully but these two refuse.
Help needed please,
Thanks

Thanks so so much. That was the problem. Reverted to default and everything installed. Unfortunately I only got to watch the last four minutes of extra time for the match.
Thanks once again.

[Q] Swype - Need some help since update ICS

Hello,
Anyway when I first got my one s I was able to install swype onto it without any problems, I like it A LOT more then the default junk on it. So last night I wanted the new tmob update, and since I had root and SU I had to do all the voodoo to unroot and relock my phone before hitting it with the RUU.
So now I got it updated and then got root and SU back, so I reinstall all my stuff onto it. I get to installing the swype beta onto it, but this time I get an error saying "error: this screen size is not supported. Check beta.swype.com/android/faq for a list of supported sizes"
Did the screen dpi get changed with the new update or did I miss something?
I think I maybe wrong, I am on 1.53.531.16 710RD which I don't think is the newest tmob. Also when I check for update it's not finding one.
The new Swype beta installer should work. Get it from the official site. They fixed that bug.

Did that this morning and got the error. I'll delete and re download to check.
Yup, same error. Can you host the install apk for me?

It is my understanding that you need to do the 3 dot menu mod before Swype thinks your screen size is OK.

No, that's not true, you do not need any mod. My One S is completely stock and swype works fine. I will try to upload the apk and PM you with it.

Must be something I did, your copy is giving a parse error.
LOL Now I see why the error, what you uploaded is only a 1kb file.

Try this one, it's the actual one...
Do not flash, just unpack and install like any other .apk
MOD EDIT: apk removed. Swype apk is not allowed to be distributed on xda.

Thanks, and it works fine. Just that was the CORE apk and not the installer, I am not going to knock it. But now when I goto type an icon in the upper left shows a keyboard, I don't recall it but whatever I can live with it.

It asks you to enable swype.
Maybe due to a bug this happens when opening certain programs and returns, also it's enabled. Make shure to check swype settings in settings -> language & Keyboard -> swype.

Yes, it worked without any issues. Just needed to turn it on in the settings unlike with the installer where it does it for you. I threw it up on my dropbox so next time if I get this issue again I got a plan.
Well about 2 mins ago it just installed the core files on it's own and synced my license number up. Neat.

I have not installed the update yet (don't feel like reflashing recovery etc.) But I get that "enable Swype" notification in the status bar (with keyboard icon) quite often.
I love Swype, but it's just a keyboard...how long does beta need to be???

Are you running some app that dims the screen or provides an overlay of some sort ? Turn that off if so.
Have you enabled 'unknown sources' option in security settings?

thank you for your advice, this really worked. But I do not get any rationale behind it?
Could you shed some light?
btw, I did some search on the internet, but I guess I need to dig in deeper
This is what Screen Adjuster developer says
What's New
v1.7
-notification bugfix
-the bug with apk installation cannot be fix due to it is related with the Android Package Manager
But what does it have to do with Pacakage manager and Screeen?
Android Package Manager prevents overlays from allowing installation of apks. If it weren't in place someone could be pretty malicious with overlays and actually get you to install anything they wanted and you wouldn't even know it. You would think you are clicking a button in the app but really you would be installing something bad.

the DM is default downloader when you are downloading from google play market and etc.
ADM pro wont grab or handle it.

Deactivating an app? Pretty easy. Go to settings -> apps -> on to "all" tab -> find the downloader app -> select it -> freeze/deactivate or whatever says the up right button.Before you do that, force close the app (right next to the deactivation button) and after the deactivation, I suggest you to clean all the data of the app.

1. I don't think so, I haven't seen that option anywhere.
2. Definitely no. There was a discussion on this matter, and there is no way to disable that 'search' option.

it works but can't make call it keep crashing to resolve that you need to install it as a system APP I think it's a permission issue but installing it as system apps make it makes calls.
Update : I could remove the stock dialer and contact apps, everything works but there's is an issue when making a call , the screen that shows the buttons for hold, speaker ETC (the screen in attachment) .... doesn't show up, I had to restore the stock app again

if your phone is rooted you can use luckypatcher but it's not allowed here in XDA,I'm not sure if after changing the APK permission when it's intalled in internal memory will make it a system app (need to check this on), the other solution is to make it aflashable ZIP that can be flashed through TWRP or a custom recovery.
I did the 1st one the others 2 I never testd them.
I made a flashabe ZIP for the dialler but I couldn't test it on my phone but if some1 can do it , it will be great
you will need a custom recovery to do SO, this might brick you phone.
apk dealer don't work on redmi note 8t rom EE 11.0.7.0 it's possible twrp Flashable zip?

I didn't understand what u meant with "fix" if you are referring to install Mi contact and dialler through luckypatcher you need to get the APK 1st, in lucky patcher the bottom left corner you will find "Rebuil & install" it will open the file explorer select the APK then "install as system app" you will need to reboot the phone
