Application not installed error - Nook Color General

Anyone else getting this? Tried to update several apps but got this error.
How about the problem parsing package error?
What causes these?
Thanks.

What apps were you trying to update? Parsing error means the apk isnt packaged correctly or signed I believe.

GMail update 2.3.2
is a perfect example. I tried copy/paste with Root Expl. I got the "application not installed." Any ideas?

You cant install system apps normally, you just have to move it over, set permissions, reboot and hope its installed.

Clairification please?

What's a system app vs. a 'regular' app? Does it make no difference that its a Froyo version of the app? Per Google website, GMail version 2.3.2 is designated as Froyo. With Root Explore I set permission; I just don't know if I'm doing it correctly. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!

Make sure you're using Market for 2.x.
You can also verify this by using Astro and attempt to install /system/app/Vending.apk.
The problem was that i had not installed gtalk service and some other dependencies, now the market is installed but whe i try to start it it closes immediately, logcat gives auth errors, maybe i have to setup a google account in the setupwizard first... Thank you.

[Q] Help - How to install TouchWiz30Launcher and Gallery3D

I have the APK's from original stock ROM for froyo 2.2.
I've removed them from my phone using titanium backup.
I tried to install them back with terminal emulator+busybox. I dont' see it installed.
I used Android mate to go to /system/app and try to install the files from there but I get can't install message.
What gives?

You don't get a message telling you that you have installed something in system like you do when you install something from the market. After placing the apks in system/app reboot your phone and you should notice they have been installed...

I restarted but it didn't install the apps. I'm trying to explore why it didn't and where else could it effect the system.

[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

Need help with new market

I downloaded the new market apk then installed after renaming old one. Now when I open it, it asks me to accept terms. After I accept, it tries to open then just disappears. I tried doing the old market and now that does the same too. Cleared cache, same result. Any tips?

Try Clearing the Data, with Titanium Backup? Also which Market did you install 2.2.7? and is this on 2.2 or 2.1?
Tried titanium but it didn't work. The version is 2.2.6. I appreciate your help.
Have you tried using Logcat, and seeing what the error is there?
Lol what's logcat?
Logcat basically logs everything that your phone does. It's helpful when trying to figure out problems.

[Q] I can't install Amazon app store

I just rooted again after boot looping. 1.3 and using Manual Nooter per instructions in that thread, fixed permissions in RM, USB debugging is checked. I'm up and running just fine, however I can't install Amazon App Store. I click on the .apk in the downloads of my browser and I get two choices to use, " App Installer", and "Package Installer". I try App Installer and I get "The application was not able to install onto your device. Please "Archive" and then "UnArchive" the application to try again. How do I "Archive" and then UrArchive" the application?
I try Package Installer and I get "There is a problem parsing the package".
I've reset and rooted numerous times because of boot loops issue, which I'm pretty sure I've solved, but every previous time I was able to install Amazon App Store.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Well I am not an expert by any means but it sort of sounds like a bad file have you tried deleting it and re-DLing it? You can DL it right onto the nook via email for example, Amazon will email you the link. If it's any problem other than that then it's way out of my league. Hope that works!
I've downloaded the .apk numerous times with stock browser and Opera Mini, and tried downloading it from the email amazon sent me with the download link. Same issues with all attempts.
Have you tried opening it with a file browser like Astro? Also try downloading the apk to your PC and then copy it to your Nook via USB, the Download on your Nook could be getting screwed up.
Also if you have ADB setup you can try running the command "adb install [insert apk filename here]" to try to install the Amazon Store.

Did you check the "Unknown Sources" box in Settings -> Applications?
I don't mean to be condescending, but you didn't mention it in the OP.
yes, unknown sources is checked. I figured out how to fix problem. I moved .apk's to system/app using Root Explorer and using Package Installer, they installed just fine.

I paid for it. There may some other file managers that you can use, but I just dropped the dough for Root Explorer.

For what it does it is cheap for $4. We need to pay for apps or else developers will quit building them.

Unless I am mistaken this does nearly everything Root Explorer does. At least I think I've heard that before. Having paid for and more importantly become familiar with Root Explorer, I have't actually tried it. But I do know it comes HIGHLY recommended.

Please Help - This doesn't solve my problem
Just rooted 1.3 again with both manual nooters. Everything is working fine now but I want to download Amazon App Store from The web.
It downloads fine but wont install - gives me a "your phone is protected" warning box saying that I should go to Settngs/Application and check the box to allow for outside downloads.
I DON'T HAVE AN APPLICATIONS OPTION UNDER SETTINGS. I had one when I was running cm7 - but not for a simple 1.3 manual nooter.
I have looked everywhere I can think of - can anyone help or have a work-around?
