I just received my HTC One today and trying to set it up. I have a whole load of 3rd party APKs that I had downloaded for my SG S3 and trying to install on my HTC One. I get the same error message every time -
Parse Error
There was a problem while parsing the package.
I had this problem on 4.1.2 and then updated to 4.2.2 and exact same problem. These files work fine on the S3.
Unlocked Bootloader, not rooted
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Colin
What apps are they?
Typically this occurs when you try to install uninstallable apps like system apps.
Also if someone screwed with the app and didn't repackage it properly it could occur

Various types, all like normal apps but perhaps themed, older versions, or homebrews. Various sources, all work in other phones e.g. S3
My brother has a HTC One too and exact same problem.
Hi all, I have an AT&T galaxy tab SGH-I987 with froyo 2.2. I have managed to root the device using super one click root. However, now I am trying to follow the Overcome installation guide. I downloaded all the files from the forums here. When I try to install the bootloader patch apk , I get the message install blocked, (your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from android market). I have tried apk installers, but none seem to work, i have gone to settings and checked the developer mode option, but it does not have an option to allow installation of unknown files. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading forums for days trying to find a working solution to this. Thanks in advance
fixed
sorry for the wasted forum space, I finally overcame this problem using the super wonder machine program to install the app, worked great
Hey guys,
i have Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F (INS) (Non-Rooted)
i have seen newer Updates of Samsung system apps like touchwiz, phone, soundalive, gallery, and many more newer version apps in ApkMirror.com but when i download the newer version and try to install. it fails to install. it tells "app did not install"
1) tried the secure setup On and Off and it did not work for me in installing apk (failed)
2) tried OEM unlock and tried Adb debugger enabled and tried installing from Adb terminal pc (failed)
3) tried in safe mode also (failed)
4) tried uninstalling updates and installing newer direct downloaded from apk mirror (failed)
i simply could not install any newer version apps also in this note 8 could some one please find a solution for this as even these Samsung galaxy store and play store has too old versions of apk which i felt the rom is quite slow. if Apkmirror tells "there is no mod done to the apk and signatures are pure Samsung". then why the note 8 is not installing it.
Please dont tell me to root and do the copy paste and permission work (this process i know and i dont want to root my device at any cost)
Please someone find the solution for this problem without Root option its a really need to solve this problem for most of them (including me)
I FOUND TEMP SOLUTION FOR IT

Just wait till an official update comes along! It doesn't take long!

Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Unknown sources turned on? You shouldn't need any of the other things you've tried to sideload an app.
Also interested in this, there is a few updates on Apkmirror that I would love to update to, but I get the error "App not installed"
I usually only get that error if a previous version is installed. Have to uninstall the previous version then install the version you want. Updating an app by trying to install tge newer one often does not work unless updating from the Google or Samsung store.
Just wait for the official update. The one from apk mirror should be extracted from S8 android Oreo beta, hence apps not installed on note 8 (Nougat)
I was just hoping to get feature updates a bit earlier, since my carrier is horrible with updates. No worries though, thanks for the info.

Have you tried to install via adb?
Try going to settings, apps, click on the app you're trying to update, click upper right 3 dots, uninstall updates, then try to installing the new .apk.
This is the same problem as I described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3701934
ADB will not work!
Installing after removing earlier updates won't!
This has nothing to do with the APK source! (and @Bandito: not all apks there are from oreo, lol. they are pure minority...)
Our Problem is a Samsung-wanted security mechanism to prevent manual updates for some Samsung apps, mainly system apps!
On S8 it worked to change device secure startup from one setting to the other, reboot, and then as long as you do not reboot again, you could update these apps with the apks from apk-mirror!
for note8 no such workaround is known, at least not for what I know...

Interesting.. Because I thought it was my "newness" to using apk updater.. I'm glad it's not just me, as I thought that was very odd also.. And like the rest of you all, I see tons of updated app on there that won't install..

I have exactly the same problem here. APK of any Samsung system app refuses to install. However, Samsung Galaxy Apps and Samsung Themes are able to be updated using latest .apk files from www.apkmirror.com, so give it a try! Installing via ADB returns this error:
HTML:
Failed to install app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_BY_BUILDTYPE_BY_SECURITY_POLICY]
Searching this error on Google returns no useful results, so this definitely needs more attention. I also do not understand why the "About" section of each Samsung system app claims that "The latest version is already installed" when there is obviously a newer version available.

Hi all,
I had a similar problem. I was wanted to install a newer version of memo app on j510f with android 7.1.1 because after flashing new xsg rom it's missed its bidirectional writing ability (on android 6.0.1 it was starting from left side while typing english and was starting from right side while typing persian or arabic, automatically).
well, my solution:
first, i did what amit.a said in this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74589925&postcount=11
I'm not spamming keep reading
after installing it i used app2sd app to convert it to system app. then i restarted the device and finish!
after restarting, if app icon changed to android logo, reinstall it using amit.a's method.
i even installed samsung note with this way, but totally it didn't work on my device and stopped working
at the end, i really appreciate if someone send me the original memo app from j510f with android 6.0.1. hope it work on android 7 as was working on android 6.
Any more progress with this?
I've recently factory reset my Note 9 which was rooted and subsequently unrooted prior to purchase. Before I reset it, I could install S Health 4.x to bypass the root issue with the most recent version. This time, however, I cannot get version 4.x to install. I've tried via APK mirror and also via ADB, but it fails "App not installed". Other apps downloaded from APK mirror install fine.
Any ideas without rooting again, which I don't want to do?
Facing the same issue after updating to pie on s8.
It was working on oreo
dont know what all of you guys are doing wrong but I'm on pie and its working fine.(knox tripped)
im not hiding it with magisk. every custom rom available for pie that ive tried had it working. maybe the roms have something baked in to make it work but i have not herd of such.
plus v4 is ancient.
Hi guys
Spent a total of 9 hours 10 mintues today non stop trying to get Xposed to work on my Galaxy S5.
Went through many, many flashable zip files for the official versions both early and recent and unofficial ones (wanam)
Covered every YouTube video on it I could find.
The wanam ones flashed successfully but made Android completely unusable (after boot up) from errors informing me that 'Play services have stopped working' The message would not go away which made the phone unusable.
The official flashable zip builds all put me into a boot loop.
Each time I was using the same xposed uninstaller to remove them after finding out they didn't work.
I don't know if I am missing something but I really don't know what to do now.
I did have this working on Stock ROM recently and then after a factory reset I have not for the life of me been able to find a working version.
Man, no Xposed is working on stock Samsung ROM after recent Google Play Services update (after version 20), and i think there is no turning back from this, if you are in stock Samsung you have to give up to Xposed.
Thanks for getting back. What is a confirmed ROM which works with xPosed on the S5? Will lineage be ok? Thanks.
I do not use or have an S5, but i have many other devices (all Samsung) and i can tell that so far there is no problem with Xposed in any other ROM (other tnan Sasmsung), and also no problem with EdXposed or Lsposed (and those 2 may also work in Samsung ROMs - to be tested).
