I am trying to install the Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich (https://github.com/jackpal/Android-Terminal-Emulator)
I have tried installing various versions of this application, including this fork: https://github.com/dvhh/Android-Terminal-Emulator
I am unable to install the application on my Android device running kernel version 3.10.49 (jenkins@80b25755b68d #1 Fri Aug 18 23:17:19 JST 2017)
When running from the device, I get an error saying installation from unknown sources is forbidden (even though unknown sources are enabled in the settings)
Installation through adb reveals the real error:
>adb install C:\term-release.apk
C:\term-release.apk: 1 file pushed. 2.7 MB/s (572662 bytes in 0.199s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/term-release.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]
Device is a Kyocera DuraXE flip phone.
I have Googled this error and tried every solution I found.
I cannot uninstall and reinstall the app because the app is not installed to begin with
I have made sure unknown sources are enabled
I have tried rebooting the device
There are no "overlays" running on the device that I am aware of. It's a brand-new phone fresh from factory.
I'm at a complete loss as to what to do. I have also tried installing alternate software like termux but I get the same errors every time.
I tried running it on the device from Android Studio as well. Here is the result:
01/05 12:49:12: Launching Term
$ adb push C:\Users\myusername\ApkProjects\Term\Term.apk /data/local/tmp/jackpal.androidterm
$ adb shell pm install -t -r "/data/local/tmp/jackpal.androidterm"
pkg: /data/local/tmp/jackpal.androidterm
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]
$ adb shell pm uninstall jackpal.androidterm
DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR
Error while Installing APK
It gives me a pop up saying there was an error installing and to try uninstalling the package, but when I click OK i get "DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR", probably because the app isn't actually installed.
At a complete loss what to do
