Cannot install android apps. [not relevant]

As the title says I am having a problem with android app installations. I've had my Jolla since January and it was working almost fine until deleted photos started to take over my Gallery and "overwrite" newer photos. I was advised to reset Jolla phone to the factory settings and so I did. Now I have fully updated the phone, installed Android support app from Jolla store but I simply cannot install mobile1 market nor aptoide. When I open settings -> transfers and try to tap the downloads they won't install. Yes I have the untrusted applications thing from settings on. What should I do? Before I had no problems installing those markets etc. and after system reset the phone is dead like a brick...
I just want to take a baseball bat and blast this piece of shit into next dimension tho I cannot afford a new phone...
Your last sentence makes you look very mature. Otherwise did you try to install Aptoide from the Store?

I recently switched phones (yes, both of them were Jolla's :) ) and so I had too reset both of them and install all the updates again etc. and now I can't install android apps either. I haven't tried installing apps from one off the Android app stores since the reset, but at least installing .apk's doesn't seem to work (I tried with both apkd-install and the File Browser app from the Jolla Store). I have successfully installed an RPM though (Warehouse app :) ). But after reading this I think I'll just reset it again :(
EDIT: I reset my Jolla today and I can confirm that I can now install Android apps again :)
