Cannot click "Install" for .apk files

[jcw122]

Hi,

I'm having a really bizzare problem where I cannot hit the Install button when I try opening .APK files in the Download folder to install the .APK. All I see are the Install and Cancel buttons on screen, Cancel works, Install does not (but is not greyed out).

I'm on rooted .902. Let me know if you need further info.

Does it say parsing error or is there just no option to install? Do you have a screenshot?

It gives me no error at all....it's the basic screen for installing an .APK....with the "Install" and "Cancel" buttons. I can hit cancel, but the Install button isn't functional (although not greyed out). It's really strange.

Have you tried using a different .apk installer program from the market? Like, "Installer" by Rhythm Software or "Installer" by Jiang Jianjun. As a last resort, you might have to restore a 'NAN' backup using Safestrap Recovery, if you have already created/saved one prior to the start of the glitch.

It was JuiceDefender...not sure how or why but stopped JD fixed it. Thanks.

That's odd. Good to know. Thanks.

I have the same problem, but no Juice defender installed.

Its a known issue with juice defender. When you install apps from the sdcard it won't work. Thats why there is a installation work around included.

I have the same problem, but no Juice defender installed.

You haven't disabled any system apps have you? Either using root explorer or titanium backup.

Settings....applications...install from unknown sources checked?

 

[Droid-Xer]

So the option to "Install" is greyed out or it doesn't even pop up?

Settings....applications...install from unknown sources checked?

Unknown sources is checked. I always have it checked, by (my) default. Just to make sure , I looked at it again, and it was checked.

Not greyed out at all...just doesn't do anything. Everything LOOKS like it would work, but touching it inspires Nada. But, cancel works! ha ha:icon_eek:

Here's my package installer apk. Try to move it to /system/app. Rename the one in there to .bak Permissions will be RW/R/R
