Galaxy S4: "Application cannot be installed in the default install location" I had uninstalled some of my apps but now I can't install them again. Play Store gives me "Application cannot be installed in the default install location" error when the download is complete.

I guess it's a common problem but none of the solutions worked!

I don't even have an SD card! How the hell am I going to solve this problem?

But my rep can't comment yet, so I'll repeat my answer:

The correct answer to this problem, and I always see wrong explanations, is that you have a duplicate /data/app-lib folder for the app or apps that are giving you that error.

To fix: Using adb, terminal, or root explorer:

compare /data/app to /data/app-lib

you will see, for example:


/data/app/example-app-1.apk
/data/app-lib/example-app-1
/data/app-lib/example-app-2


OR


/data/app/example-app-2.apk
/data/app-lib/example-app-1
/data/app-lib/example-app-2


So for 1st example remove directory: /data/app-lib/example-app-2

and for 2nd example remove directory: /data/app-lib/example-app-1

Then your app will install just fine!

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO KEEP THE SAME NUMBERS,

IF THE APK IS 1 REMOVE 2... IF THE APK IS 2 REMOVE 1!
