I can't get google play music to install. At first I was getting an error that the previous package was not signed. Please uninstall previous version. But I could never find it in my apps to uninstall. I manually deleted music.apk from system/app folder. Now I get an error that says the application is already installed but I can't find it anywhere. How can I manually remove this app without have to wipe my Xoom?

You uninstalled the basic music app. Not qoogle play music.
If you don't use the basic android music app, I'd just leave it out. With a file explorer like Root Explorer, go to data/app and find the Google music app. That is the one you need to remove. Delete the apk file and then go to Google play and install Google music. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the response. I went there, but I don't have a apk for music or google play music
Any other thoughts?

So I have google play music on my phone also, and I cannot find an apk for that either in data/app. Could there be another location for the file?
Do you have a tibu for your tablet?
I cannot think of any other location
Are you running ICS?
If so you might have Google music disabled.
You can find it in all apps in settings on the bottom of the list.
If that's not the case, verify that it is deleted from system/app and data/app. The file name is com.google.android.music-1.apk

I know this thread is over 3 months old, but I ran into this same issue on my Galaxy Nexus after updating the custom rom I am running. To fix it I downloaded the Google Play Music app from here, renamed it to com.google.android.music-1.apk, then used my file manager app (File Expert) to copy it from my Download folder to the /data/app directory. After changing the permissions on the APK to match the others in the same directory, I rebooted my phone to a working Play Music application. Hopefully this helps someone who also experiences this problem.

Hi guys, Im trying to get the Google News and Weather app (GenieWidget.APK) from Nexus S, or other newer version, running. I have an older version that does not auto update, so it kinda sucks.
The new version is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13473045
Ive tried dropping both the APK and/or ODEX file via file manager, also rebooting, but the files are not there afterwards. Im rooted and using FileExpert app, which is granted superuser Im told via toast message.
Also tried direct install of the APK, but again no go --> 'Application not installed' error.
Im running the Mosiac III ROM.
Searches have not helped so Id appreciate some help!
You might wan't to try Root Explorer from the market. Its what I used to install the genie widget. It is pretty easy to use. All you have to do is copy it into your system/app folder and there you have it.

but do i need to delete the old one? Is necessary to change the permissions of the new apk? If yes how?
If the installation is failing you are going to need to adb push the application to your system/app/ folder and then it should work... I am also looking for the new geniewidget.apk (sorry for bumping an old thread).
So I just flashed this rom a little while ago. I like it. Its smooth and everything BUT my google market was force closing for a little while until I cleared the data/cache. That fixed the force close.
What I am wondering here is if the google play store will update from the market like it would on a stock rom? or How do I go about getting the play store over the google market...??? Anyone else having a similar problem with it?
I don't know if this is the correct answer or not, but it is what I did. I backed up Play Store in TiBu, switched to Eclipse and restored it from there. Otherwise mine did not update automatically.
Can someone post the google play apk

When you open the market it should automatically update to play
first time I installed Eclipse it did not update. Second time I installed it it did. Third time it did not. Go figure.

Someone, please upload the apk
Any idea what the APK name is? I looked in system/app but nothing jumped out at me... Or maybe the following link will help?
http://androidadvices.com/download-latest-google-play-store-v3516-apk-android-device/
Never mind! I had to use Root Explorer (first app I paid for) to find it. Goes in /data/app directory. Hope that works for you...
Actually you should just take the .apk file and place it in /system/apps using root explore or es file explore granted root access. Once you place it in the /system/apps folder and replace the current one do a power down then reboot. When phone gets reboot click on new Google Play icon and agree then all done.
Anyone know how to uninstall the google play store from rooted Kindle Fire HD?
I click on the app in the app drawer of KFHD, it seems like its hidden in the system folder and I am not sure what to remove from the system folder.
I want to uninstall it as it seems that the play store cannot detect my location and it only shows limited amount of apps (probably because it couldnt detect my location)
Titanium Backup is probably the easiest way to do it. You can download it from the Play store, but if it's one of the apps that aren't showing up for you, then you can find it on their main website too (you can download the APK there). I'd link you, but I haven't reached 10 posts yet. It should be the first result if you google Titanium Backup. If you want to get rid of it and everything associated with it, I believe you need to remove Vending.apk, Gplay#.#.##.apk (or Play), and GoogleServicesFramework.apk.

Pretty much spot on. But I just want to add that you'll also have to delete the dalvik cache before it completely goes away.

use a file explorer like es explorer go to settings give it superuser permissions go to the folder you saved it in and delete it
Your all wrong. Listen to how i did it.
So all u need is to use es file explorer. So u want to go into /system/apps and delete any previously installed google play stuff. Then go and find com.android.vendor.... I dont remember which folder this was in. Delete the file com.android.vendor... now ur finished... im thirteen and i am great at things that use roots:good:
So I rooted a Kindle fire. Added Google framework. Put vending. Apk in system/app folder. I changed permissions. And installed it (I can now download apps and it goes nicely in the app manager for kindle). I tried to install gplay as the final step I get the error application not installed. I do not have a shortcut to get to Google play store. For me to run Google play store. I need to go in system/app directory reinstall vending. Apk and then I can go in app store immediately. Can someone tell me how to get a shortcut for this.

I have just rooted my kindle fire, and i was looking in to getting the Play Store...
I followed Stopxwatch's instructionls, but I've had a few issues:
1. I cant move the files to the /system/app folder, and I cant edit them (THEY DID INSTALL SUCCESSFULLYTHOUGH)
2. The Market without the updated play store(The older market, not the play store) works, but crashes when ever I try to download an app.. (I DID reboot my kindle after installing the vending.apk file, and before opening the the app)
3. When I updated the market to the latest play store, the store crashes.. I've tried rebooting multiple times, but it doesnt seem to work.
Can someone please upload the latest Vending.apk file and Gplay file for me
It will not work without moving to system...
Explain why you can't move them?
If you just can't access system you need to give your file manager root access...
I like es file explorer the root options are in settings to root settings and check all
