Help installing an App?

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

[Q] Adding gapps to Droid 1 with CM6

I finally made the jump and rooted my Droid 1 today and installed CM6. I had issues with Rom Manger giving me an error when trying to download CM6 with Google Apps, so I downloaded the ROM from the web and installed it manually. Works like a charm.
I tried to go back to ROM Manager and just install Google Apps, but it keeps giving me an error during downloading.
I still need the Google Apps installed... I have downloaded the zip and moved it to my SD card, but can't figure out how to flash it. (been searching the past hour for an answer) I have gone to recovery mode but it looks like that is only to update ROMs (update.zip) am I missing something easy here?
Thanks

It depends on what Recovery image you are using. For some reason ROM Manager gets a bad CRC or other error when downloading the GApps addon update zip. Don't know why. However if you get the latest file directly from the CyanogenMod site (hardware appropriate of course) you can install it from the recovery screen.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 and it allows you to specify a .zip of any name and directory on the SD-card (you have to mount it first). I'm not sure if normal SPRecovery allows for that. Make no mistake, installing the GApps is basically a ROM update, as it installs them to the System apps folder (which is essentially read only).
One thing to note once you get it installed. Sometimes you get issues with updating the ROM's apps (including GApps). This was notoriously noticed with the new Car Home and the new YouTube apps. In order to fix it, you have to use RootExplorer, TitaniumBackup or another SuperUser enabled browser or app manager to forcefully remove the system app, then get the updated app from the Market.
I hope that helps.

I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 but didn't see a menu item for installing zip files. I ended up renaming the Gapps file to Update.zip and flashed it in recovery mode. Worked like a charm.
Thanks

Do any of you have this error itself?
I'd like to see if I could make sense of it. Back when I installed Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 on my new phone, about 2 weeks ago, I was able to install it with GApps with no problem.

[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] Calc app from 4.3

Hello all, I have the APK for the calc app used on my stock 4.3 rom, and I'd like to use it on Cyanogenmod. I can't get it to install however, which tells me that it is not as easy as just getting the apk from the stock rom and installing it on CM.
I have Unknown Sources checked, but the error I get when installing is "App not installed."
Does anyone have any information on how I can get this to install properly? Any help is appreciated.
I have attached the apk if it helps, and a screenshot of the app.
Edit: Have tried moving the apk to /system/apps, setting permissions and rebooting.

thats because, the apk needs touchwiz framework of 4.3 to work correct. it will not work on aosp roms.

Why would you even want to use this featureless calculator, when CM's one has more useful features?

[Q] Help with root problem (apps that use sd card broken)

I rooted with kingo and installed Urdriod version 2 via safestrap version 3.75. Then installed Titanium backup pro. Problem is Titanium doesn't work anymore. All the options are not there. It is saying current backup location is inaccessible.
I then noticed that many of my applications that work in conjunction with the sd card do not work. Youtube is broken on 4G. Evernote is broken. Many of my games are broke as well.
I then did a clean install of another Rom Dynamic Kat. It didn't fix anything.
Any suggestions?

Install xposed framework and this module.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/kitkat-sd-card-access-t2790992

Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip
Could i do this manually some how?

You shouldn't need the zip did you try installing the apk?

It looks like its installed with the rom but not active. I cannot activate it and i cant seem to get the module to work either. I tried the apk but it just says that i already have it and it wont install.

Phone is alot less useful if it cant interact with the sd card. Is there another way to get this going or to get the phone to read the sd?

Is superuser installed and working?

yes it is. I don't believe it's that.

What error message are you getting when you try to install the framework from the xposed installer app? You might also try uninstalling the xposed installer app then installing the version from the download link

Here is exactly what the message says:
SDcard:/storage/emulated/0/android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files
Copying Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip
Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip

I know the copy I have isn't working but if I erase it I might never even get a copy on. But the copy I have won't even install or update.

Looks like this came up in the xposed forum here
Sounds like the xposed updater app extracts a backup to the external sd card during installation...which you can't access, hence the error. The consensus seems to be to install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en to fix the folder permissions then xposed should install properly.

Well I think installing FolderMount did the trick. after i put it on the phone it detected a script error and asked if i wanted to fix it.i agreed and it rebooted and that did it! Thanks everyone!!!!!
