That is to be expected. My version is signed with a different signing key that the official version (as I obviously do not have access to the OWS signing key), and standard Android checks if the signature of a new version matches the signature of an already installed version. If they don't match installation is aborted.
There are 2 solutions:
Since rooting often leads to a factory reset, making a backup if you try to root is highly recommended.
Thanks. And which of the 2 apk's should I use on my device? (What is the difference?)
The difference is the processor architecture that is supported: the armv7a has only an arm 32 bit libraries and will work on most devices (except the rare x86 based ones), the universal apk has support for arm and x86 32 and 64 bit and might work faster on 64 bit architectures but is therefore larger. For your device both versions will work, but since I can't quickly find if you have 64 bit support I don't know if you might gain anything by using the universal apk.
Works great! Thank you
