Help installing an App? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to install something that will read WORD documents. The old Google Apps (from Cyanogen) used to have something, but the latest round doesn't appear to.
I get the error message "install_parse_failed_no_certificates"
I'm using the command:
adb install C:/PassionQuickOffice.apk
Tried a different version of the file and I also tried to install using ESTRONG - no luck
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Not sure if this will work or not but I don't think you can/need to install it.
Just push it to system/app

Google Maps 3.3.1 update.zip (use this if you are getting signing errors)

Here's an update.zip for those having difficulty installing Maps from the Android Market. Details about the update are in the other thread. This updater should install cleanly over the old version (it did for me). If you have issues with FC, try uninstalling the previous version and possibly clearing out the dalvik cache.
Note: Those who are more comfortable with adb can simply extract the apk from the zip file and manually push it into the /system/app folder.

*Maps.apk 45ed5ebc6156c742af1d0ae81eab0773
Was getting the signing errors. This worked great, thanks!
Does it support navigation outside us?
I uploaded the APK to my site if anyone needs it...

login failure on latitude
If you have AOSP_ADP_1.6 here is what I had to do:
I had to go to the /expstick/vsapps folder on the ext partition and delete the (mine was called) GoogleMaps.apk there then goto recovery and update the Maps_3.3.0_update.zip file I downloaded from the apps forum to get Maps 3.3.0 to work...

Yes, works! Including Latitude. Regretted removing the previous Maps but now that it all works again I'm happy
Many thanks.
I just did it as the update.zip and it worked like a charm.
I did delete all associated data and remove the previous version of maps before hand though.
I then went into the market and installed over it in there which it did straight away so that I will be notified of any future updates and hopefully be able to install them.

No. This copy is not hacked, it is the original file (you can check the posted md5 against other sources if you like).
How do i apply the update.zip?
I also tried the .apk
didnt work...
/expstick/vsapps folder on the ext partition

Same way you would use any other update.zip: put it at the root directory of your sdcard and reboot into recovery. The apk file has to be pushed into the system app folder to work.
Decided not to say what I had to say - edited to remove it.
Unable to update using any of methotd mentioned here...
I have ADP1 with 1.6 ROM and I am still unable to update Maps. I have removed the previous Maps (3.2. "hacked" to allow European navigation), now I have Maps 3.1.2 installed (I don't know how to uninstall these, there is no option to do so in Application manager).
1) Using the Market results in "INstallation error: Package file was not signed correctly."
2) Using the update.zip provided here results in "Aborting Install" when the yellow bar reaches the middle.
3) Trying to install Maps.apk provided in this thread results in "Application not installed: Maps could not be installed on this phone"

Sounds like your 1.6 is not based on ADP (not using the test keys). This updater is for folks with "rooted" phones only (test keys as opposed to release keys).
BTW in order to uninstall an application contained within the /system/app folder, you have to remount and remove it manually. Application manager cannot do that for you.

My Build number is "dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test-keys". AFAIK, I downloaded this from the official ADP1 firmware page.
I removed Maps.apk file from /system/app/ folder but still the same problem persists, as described above.
Success!
Update: After I did "pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps", I was able to install latest maps from the Market.
Edit: ahh glad it got sorted out.
Was using stock CM 4.2.7.1 on mytouch3g and had nothing but issues trying to upgrade but thanks to this it did the trick, thank you for posting it.
Just realized 3.3.1 just got released, the 3.3.0 file allowed me to upgrade without getting any errors.
cant you just delete is using adb then reinstall it from the market?

Market 1713

It may be because of my service provider (Cox) but my current market version is 1712. By searching Google, I've downloaded the Vending.apk version 1713 and tried installing it from my sd card and I get the message "Application not installed". So I figured "Hey, there might be some kind of issue, I'll uninstall the current Market," so I did so with TitaniumBackup (Nandroid first), which completely fudged it to hell as well as giving me the same error "Application not installed". So I restored from the nandroid and am back on the 1712 version.
My question is, is the 1713 update Sprint specific? Or am I doing something wrong?
PS: The apk I was using is below.

I'm not sure what the differences are, but have you tried 'pushing' the app to /system/app/ ? I know that some apps aren't able to be installed by clicking on them (within the gui), but that some have to be manually added to the /system/app/ directory via adb.
Code:
adb push c:\Whereitslocated\Vending.apk /system/app/
Maybe that'll help ya out?
Always nandroid first just in case
I'll definitely give that a try...when I can. I turned off my phone to do a nandroid first and now it wont boot into recovery or normally. I can get to the fastboot screen but not into recovery. It just goes to the white screen with HTC in green....
what recovery 'were' you using? (which isn't currently working as you can see, lol)... you may need to flash a newer version of whatever recovery u'r using. u can do so via fastboot using instructions from XDA.

I was using Darchstar's "Unofficial Amon_RA 1.7" recovery and it was working fine for over a month. Ill have to reflash it when I get home I guess.

By the way this worked once I got my recovery fixed.

[Q] missing google apps

i've tried updating my google apps using the file downloaded from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version. It is the HDPI version for CM6 (20101114). I didn't upgrade to CM6, but applied this update zip anyway. Now i have FB and Market but my gmail and talk have disappeared.
i've tried manually installing by copying the file over to system/app but that didn't work. neither did trying to install them using astro (file could not be read as apk).
also tried applying the update EPE54B for CM5 instead but was unable to.
any solutions on how to get gmail back?

hey thanks for the suggestion. i've tried it and it says "install failed older sdk". i'm guessing it's because i'm on 2.1 while the apps are for cm6 (2.2).
however, i also cannot flash the apps for CM5 (2.1) and extracting them from the zip then trying to install gives me "Install Parse Failed No Certificates"..
any idea where i can find a compatible gapps?
any solutions? i found a youtube.apk from xda which installed.. but still no gmail...
Not entirely sure how to fix your problem but I would suggest doing a Nand backup before flashing GAPPS next time. I guess you can try deleting all the apks that the Latest CM6 GAPPS installed and try flashing EPWhatever again. Hope this helps

[Q] Missing Dialer 2.2.2 (phone.apk i think?)

Hi
I accidently removed dialer 2.2.2 from the device using Titanium Backup, and i need to restore it in order for my phone calls to work.
I tried downloading some froyo Phone.apk but i cant install. It stops fast and syas "Application not installed" when i click it.
I put it in /system/app/ using adb. I didnt work either to install it through adb. It said cannot find file.
I need a original copy of Phone.apk and maybe some explanation of how to install it as it were before i removed it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960374 has a complete dump of 2X global version. You can find the dialer in there.
There are several threads about the joys of reinstalling system apps (usually ppl killed the launcher) among them are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992945
EDIT: next time freez in stead of uninstalling... frozen apps will be restored by a simple factory reset. uninstalled won't.
Thx I am downloading and hoping it will work with the original Phone.apk

it should work.
I downloaded the package and pushed the Phone.lnk to the /system/app/ directory. After that i went to a file browser on the phone and tried to execute the Phone.apk file.
It came with the same message. Do i need to install through adb or hard reset?

You don't need to install apk when putting in /system/app.
Copy apk to sd, download and install rootexplorer copy apk forom sd with rootexplorer go to system/app push button “mount R/W“ paste apk and reboot the phone. Done
Well isnt that the same as using adb.
I have the Phone.apk from the optimus 2x dump in the /system/app/ folder now, but i doesnt fix the problem. It doesnt seem to get installed when rebooting.
How can i see if its installed. I checked Titanium Backup, which still shows the Dialer 2.2.2 grey with strike-through (Data backed up, with no possiblity of restore).
How do i force it to "reinstall" upon reboot.
I tried restoring a widget that i removed, and that worked, so maybe the phone.apk is installed after i pushed it to /system/app, but something else is wrong.
What could be the problem? Missing data or something, which i need to restore somehow?
Isn't there a way to reflash the device with original rom?
Any ideas?
I downloaded the Global System.zip from this forum. I successfully went to the android recovery menu on the phone. I can choose to update the phone using System.zip on sdcard.
Is that the way to go?
have solved the problem?
Is possible to edit the phone.apk? the stock "incall" app is simple orrrrrrible
i too am missing my dialer app. whenever i touched the phone icon it would crash and go to home screen i thought if i uninstalled it and reinstalled it with titanium pro it would fix it. but it now wolnt let me reinstall. ive been searching the forum and trying different ways to fix the issue but nothing is working so far ... how can i get this is work?
Phone.apk
Did you guys figure this out? I installed

[Q] Can't install secure settings helper

I'm trying to install helper (busy box already installed) however, every time I try to install it, it reboots my phone. Pushing the apk into system\app also reboots the phone. I can push other apk's and remove apk's from system\app just not the helper apk. When I try to flash the securesettingshelper.zip in CWM it says "installation aborted"
I've tried a number of things to get this working including flashing the bulletproof-1.8 kernel. I've also tried doing the fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230341
Does anyone have the helper installed on their device? If so, could you link or guide me through the process?
Thanks
EDIT: solved! not sure what the issue was still, but I just did a full wipe and reinstalled Android Revolution HD 8.0. Perhaps it's because I tried using Rom Cleaner 3.5 for the HTC One X

I got it to work. I just used the normal install from the app itself. nothing special, no apk or cwm zip file. Make sure your root is ok?

yea installing from the app is the first thing I tried. I know my root is good since su is installed and all other apps work fine.
i got the same "installation aborted" when flashing via cmw, but did manual copy paste and change name
(Manually copy to /system/app/SecureSettingsHelper.apk ) and then restart my n7105. now helper is working. will try if pattern unlock is working.
what other people do after installing helper?
