I’m not sure why osmand won’t uninstall, but the other bit:
Aparently can be worked round around by launching apk files from the downloader, or at least installing f-droid (and then using that to install e.g. amaze) works:
Initially and out of security reasons I wanted to use my local download folder on sdcard to install my network security app “netguard”.

Hey all, the title says it all - and here’s hoping it’s just a newbie oversight on my part:
I had the usual problems that everyone else had here updating to Open 17.06.4.

Installed Open 17.06.4.
Sideloaded the FDroid apk to start the process of reinstalling my apps…
The file browser, accessible from Settings → Storage & USB → Explore, can’t open the apk.
So now I’m stuck, because I can’t install apps until I install an app that will allow me to install apps… Can anyone help …
Alternatively, adb sideload should work.
