Hi,
Yesterday and today I bought some of the apps that were on sale. The problem is, I cannot install them, because after the play downloads them, it says "package file is invalid".
I googled the problem, tried to do what other people recommended to do - wipe cache/dalvik, FC the play store/google services framework and clear data and reboot, nothing worked. I even uninstalled a few big apps (Chrome, Ashpalt, etc) and it didn't work.
I should mention:
1. Free apps are working fine
2. I have a modded play store since I'm currently on a 210 DPI. That means the play store thinks my DPI is 240.
I'm using a rom based on CM10 nightly 23.9.
I hope you can help me,
Thanks!
Use file manager and navigate the root directory which in system/app and look up the one called odex file something like that,Delete it and try install the app again.
That's what I thought to, but I didn't find any odex files in there. Any other suggestions?
have you try to clear the market cache?
Of course, I wrote it down in the first post.
Also tried to remove my google account from the device and then re-adding it.
Oh sorry mate..My bad,Well i did facing this experience once cuz on that time i do upgrading my phone to ics rom,After clearing my cache and some other thing,I notice that the file were in my system/app was the fact that distracting me from installing apps in play store.
Thanks anyway
Does anyone else has an idea?

How I Fixed This
I just had the same issue (using SHOstock ROM 1.9.4, Android 2.3.6, kernal 2.6.35.7) and fixed it by clearing the application cache:
- goto settings
- then applications
- then manage applications
- select Google Play Store
- select Clear cache and Clear data
Hope this works for you.
I have the same problem as well. just started happening today.
The clearing cache/data method does work for me to get back into the Google Play Store, but whenever I try to download anything, it then crashes again. I can browse and view applications. But once I click the accept & download button on any application, it then forces Google Play Store to close. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Google Play Foce Close on Polaroid tablet
I've attempted the steps from the previous posters and am running running Android 2.3.4 on a Polaroid PMID701C with the 3.4.7 version of Play Store and I can browse files, download them and as soon as the download completes the "Sorry! ...(process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close" window appears.
I hope someone who understands this OS better than me can help. By the way, this device didn't come with any Market/Store program loaded so I found the apk on the net and downloaded it, if that matters.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Polaroid PMID701C PLAY STORE
I have this tablet and experienced the same issue. I only have a few minutes right now...but this has to do the read write permissions I believe. There are several forums that outline the install procedure and fix, in this case. Google Play/Market install to tablets and look there. If you have no luck I will check later tonight for some solid links. Good luck-
First post for me in a few years ! Same problem here. HTC Desire, Rooted, S-Off, Redux 1.1.2 ROM. Market updated to Google Play Store, loaded OK, I can search apps etc but as soon as I try to download, or update it crashes with the error message.
Once it has crashed it will not load until I clear cache - it then loads OK but the same happens when I try to download or update an app.
Market was built into the Redux ROM so I've now removed that using File Manager and also removed Market update. Still the same. I've spent the last 2 hours googling for an answer without any success. It appears that most people get a cure by deleting the cache (or maybe they think they have but haven't tried to download!)
I deleted downloadproviderUI.apk and downloadprovider.apk and it didnt work because of that , just add them if you thought they were bloatware and deleted them like I did -_- from the custom rom .zip , delete cache , delete play store , download latest , copy it to /system/app and name it to market.apk and should work fine , works fine for me now , downloads and updates
Google had released the new play store apk. The version is 3.5.16. Have a look on it.

I tried to manually install 3.5.16 over 3.5.15. It fubared my device where it constantly FC'd the app. Couldn't delete it after that so had to restore a back up. Fair warning.

Thanks for the advice but it hasn't worked for me. This is so annoying !!
I'm using Apocalypse Final + Amarullz. Been using it for quite some time now.
I stupidly wiped cache and dalvik earlier. Experienced force closing applications every now and then. I uninstall and reinstall all of the apps that are force closing. Everything is fine after that. But when I tried downloading or even updating apps in play store. It always say "Error: Package file is invalid" or "Insufficient Storage"
I tried solving it on my own. Googled it. Searched some ways here on XDA. After 3 hours of experimenting... No luck.
Help? Anybody here knows how to solve this problem?
Edit : I think I posted this in the wrong forum. Mod please move this to Q&A if its so. Thank you.

Couldn't find anywhere here something similar, so i'll explain and maybe someone can assist.
I've installed for my sister the Nexus One with the CM 7.2: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/2857/cm-7.2.0-passion.zip
And installed the official Gapps, basically everything in the rom works great, there is only one minor little annoying issue.
Whenever a new app gets installed or updated, i get a Play Store Force Close.
The App DOES update and install, but when it's done, the Force Close appears.
How can i solve this please ?

I guess you have an older version of the Play Store, so first clear Play Store data and cache ( Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Google Play Store ), then replace the Play Store APK with this one. You can find the APK (Vending.apk, PlayStore.apk or GooglePlayStore.apk) in /system/app e.g. by using Root Explorer. Permissions should be set to rw-r--r--. Reboot first before using the Play Store.

Thanks, i will try that.
But it's rather strange, the Play Store upgraded itself from what came originally in the gapps.
I'll update tomorrow if it worked, thanks again!
I can't garantee anything, but it worked several times for me
Hi togehter,
I updated to MIUI V6 4.8.29 yesterday. Right now I have the problem that GAPPS aren't working so whatever I do.
I installed from the MiMarket Google installer and tried to install Google Play and the other 3 required apps, but always when I launch the Play Store this message comes across me (too stupid to upload, just look here LINK ).
I also tried to just flash normal Anroid 4.4.4 GAPPS from the internet but thats neither working. None of the apps is showing up, just as I never installed anything.
So right now I'm in troubles... Hope you guys can help me
Greetings!!

Tried them already, failed during installation in CWM..
Had the same problem, you need to update Play Store.
Download google installer, install all the google apps you need, then download and install this: http://www60.zippyshare.com/v/95809041/file.html then restart the phone. That should work.
The only gapp that force closes is the Play Store. The rest work as it should.
Try uninstall Google Play and reinstall it, work for me.
Thanks for the answers: as in another forum mentioned, reinstalling Google installer and then install the Play Store at last worked for me.
But your ways probably work too!
Greetings
Hi there,
If anyone still encountering FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore or market, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that, you can try this another option freely other than fixing permission of vending.apk on /system/app/..
This might help you guys .
1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.
2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.
3. You can achive it through shell terminal.
Hope this helps you guys fix the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).
Hit thanks if it helps.
Thanks

If your phones rooted, open any app that can show you the full list of permissions, services, etc, of the playstore, and any app (play services, framework, etc..) and enable them all. I did everything that other post said to do, nothing worked, until I did this, and viola! it works!
Does anyone have any issues with certain apps from the play store that just crash when opened? Apps like IMDB, google Inbox, Google contacts just crash when they are opened. Why is that? I am running the google now launcher with typical root, play store setup etc.
yes I had an issue downloading facebook messenger app.. it crashed.. I downloaded it for Amazon store and it worked perfectly from there.. I am sadly using 5.1.1.. with Play Store installed via adb..
Inbox is a known problem, was mentioned on threads about installing the play store.
Google contacts works on mine though, though maybe I installed it through gapps.

Yes I used RootJunky's ADB zipfile.. and no I haven't faced an issue where I can't log into Play Store.. are you sure that you updated the play services? you can do that by installing any google app like youtube and run it and it will tell you to update play services.. and make sure you are running that latest version of Play Store which is 6.0.5 at the time I am posting this comment
Meh

Well thats the problem I am having, I can't update services because that runs through the Play store, and I can't log into the play store so I can't update. I am getting the message about the services being outdated but I can't do anything as it just redirects me to the failed play login. I have no idea what version of Play store this is, its just whatever was pushed via the zip file. I am going to do a factory reset and try again.
For the record, did you do this on 5.1.1. or did you do this on 5.0.1 and then update?

I updated via OTA to 5.1.1 then installed play store via adb.. I suggest that you uninstall all the four apps of google that the zip file installed which are Google Play Services.. Google Services Framework.. Google Accounts.. and Google Play Store.. then install them again via the same adb then reboot.. that's what I did actually.. I hope this will help..
Woooot

Wow, not sure why that worked, but uninstalled and pushed via ADB again and wha-la! Now I can at least use this tablet the way I want until someone comes up with a root solution.

Someone in another thread told me to try the Amazon app store version of IMDb if I was using the stock rom. I tried it and it works perfectly. I did have to unistall the Google version before the Amazon one would install. It's worth a try with some of the other apps to see if it works for them too.
I'm running Fireos 5.01
Rooted with google play services installed.
I have removed all the bloat suggested and don't intend to use any amazon apps.
In any case, the two problems i have are slightly strange.
1. I can't seem to install any .apk that doesn't come from google play store (I have Dev options opened an unknown sources checked)
2 I Can't add any widgets to my Home screen, when i try the widgets just disappear.
None of these two problems are show stoppers for me and I have all the removed .apks uploaded to mega in case i find i need any of them.
Has anyone else seen this?

To get widgets to work, I had to make my launcher (Apex) a system app. I tried titanium backup first, but it seemed to have trouble doing it. I finally downloaded an app called /system/app mover from Google play store and it worked. I can add widgets now.
Thanks for the information s14sh3r.
Sorry for the late reply
However I already had Titanium backup installed so i thought i would try to see if i have the same problem with TB as you.. sure i did it hang then locked me out of the launcher a reboot brought it back.
So i headed over to the market and picked up system app mover and run that after installing busybox.
Funny thing was, it was already marked as a system app... errr I guess TB almost made it happen any idea's i do have another launcher available also i have a pro copy of Apex so would i need to make the pro key and the widgets app, a system app.
Update
I got it working by getting "system app mover" to move the app back to where is was, I rebooted then i made it a system app once again,
Rebooted and selected "Apex launcher" and Bingo!
I have access to widgets again
Thanks for your help s14sh3r.

Happy to hear you gt it working. One thing I've noticed is I seem to have to reboot more to get thinhs to work. Considering how cheap the tablet is, I can live with that :laugh:
I have a problem with Instagram after I installed latest CyanogenMod rom.
From the Play store it's written: " Your device is not compatible with this version" (it's translated from italian,not really sure if it's 100% right ).
Before I rooted my device in order to install Cyano rom,I had the original firmware with Play store installed and Instagram was not only avaiable but worked smoothly.
Any idea of how to fix it?
BTW...I tried to get back to the original firmware following the related tutorial but there's no way to make the device "visible"to the pc via usb through the embedded recovery mode (quite strange because I can flash without problem TWRP recovery using adb tool by cmd line).
So...I'm in trouble even if I want to get back to the original firmware...any help will be (again) really welcome .
Thanks in advance.
Mostly the advice is the same sideload the app if play store won't let it install.
You can use this to go back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/howto-install-fireos-5-1-1-root-gapps-t3265594
If you do go back to 5.0.1 in TWRP by renaming the 5.0.1 bin to end .zip remember to stay offline until you've turned OTA off unless you don't want TWRP any more.
Thanks a lot for your advice...I I'll try it later ?.
Well,finally I fixed it simply downloading the apps in .apk files into the device and installing them directly from it,easier than I thought .
Thanks a lot for helping me.
