[Q] Parse error help - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hello everyone,
I have a rooted Motorola Droid, running Android version 2.2. I downloaded a .APK file, and whenever I try to install it, it gives me a message saying "Parse error." This is a .APK that has worked on all my previous rooted phones, does anyone know how to fix this? By the way, I've already enabled unknown sources.

If you're installing from the SD Card using a file manager, maybe try redownloading. If the same apk installs on a later android version then it mean it's not available for Android 2.2.
You could try installing a custom rom. There's not many to choose from but they work.

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't work. I'm trying to stay as stock rom as possible.

If the .apk installed on a later android version then my guess it's not compatible.

Make sure you install the main apk first and then install the language one..

yup
i'm pretty sure that i installed MAIN first, then the language pack.
Try installing using app manager, Or push via terminal.

ok
i'll try this method right away
Yeah, worked for after uninstalling.
It wouldn't type anything at first...
But now that I got it working, I didn't like the interference it has with the real keyboard.
Kind of annoying.

Take a look at that and try rooting using flashrec. I'm not 100% sure but theoretically it should be okay. Where it tells you to download the recovery grab this version HERE

Lol how am I supposed to install/use a file manager to install if the phone is v1.0? It's not even 1.5. Do you know an app that still works with v1.0 phones?

So you don't have market with version 1.0? To be honest never used it personally so no idea. If it has no market then simply upgrade (or as the guides tell you downgrade) to cupcake v1.5. Maybe I'm missing something but not sure what the hassle is?

Alright I have successfully rooted and flashed CM6 to my Dream. But there's this one process that keeps force-closing. Process: com.google.process.gapps
It's the Google Services Framework application. Should I reflash the Google Apps image or something? Or is this something I can fix by doing something..? I think it's because I renamed the zip file gapps.zip. Can I just leave the original file name the way it is and flash it?
Click to expand...

It doesn't matter what you call it, it will flash.
It's just a bad flash by the sounds of things, go here and download a new copy and re-flash.

Hi, after test for some times, i made the flashable root package for 2.3.4 (That the device has flash the leaked HKTW 2.3.4 and unlocked the device)
NOTE:
Unlocked Atrix 4G with HKTW 2.3.4
Please flash the CWM recovery first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
You should have a external sd card in your device, because the recovery cann't recognize the internal card

You can flash the official sbf file to restore to origin, like the 1.2.6 sbf

Yeah I think alot of people make that mistake. That's why when people ask I always say make sure to grab the "full" sbf not the service!
Thanks for the zip root method! Much appreciated!
Uses this and trying to flash with the newest CW build that is available with no avail.
Keeps being unable to mount SDcard ...
Will have to try the other way to do this for now but thank you for the work.

how do i use this?? already have teh new cwm
now waht???
i HATE when pple leave out basic info, i got school work, i cant remember EVERYTHING EVERYTIME.
Hey, so, I ran into a slight problem.. It doesnt actually root the phone... Or so I've found. What happened to me is it worked perfectly, flashed via new cwm nicely, and I had SU in app drawer. I then decided to try and restore my apps via TB, and it doesnt let me batch anything, see anything, etc. It's like I don't have root. Then I tried getting root explorer and it FC's on opening the app. WTF?

This is because you didn't read my post carefully. You should have a EXTERNAL SDCARD in your device first! Because the recovery cann't mount the internal sdcard.

There is another way to check whether the root of your device work or not.
Run cmd in Windows or terminal in Linux.
execute the following cmd:
Code:
adb shell
su -
After you input the "su -" cmd, you should have a dialog to allow root access in your device. I.e, the root works. Otherwise, it doesn't work.
BTW, does your device unlocked and flash the HKTW android 2.3.4 rom?

TOO bad, the zip file should be flashed as the normal way to flash rom.
GOTO recovery then choose this zip file to flash.
BTW, you should copy the zip file to the external sdcard first!

New Market 3.0.26

I found this new market, and after trying to install it on my g1 with cm6 it didn't install. Has anyone gotten it to install? Do we need to convert the hdpi graphics to mdpi to get it to work, or do graphics not affect whether or not an installation is successful?
This download worked fine on my NC once I added the ".apk" to the end of the filename, so I know this download works. I mention this fact because there is another download for the new android market that is corrupt.

It has mdpi images in it to, it might require gingerbread though, I dont have ginger on my g1 so I can't say it works on it or not. Try pushing the new market to /system/app and see if anything changes. It might fc if it's not compat with froyo.
im using it on the COS rom
I use it with Froyo by Laszlo. Installed fine with just executing the apk-file from the phone.
I installed it

I'm running COS-DS Rom and simply uploaded the apk file to my Dropbox account from my PC. Opened dropbox on my G1 and downloaded the file. It then prompted me to install the file. Very easy.
does anyone know if i can integrate this new market into a rom, so when you flash it for first time the new market comes stock?

[Q] CM10 4.1.2 - GAPPS error "Application not installed"

I have tried at least 8 different GAPPS archives at this point now. I am simply trying to get the GAPPS installed on my recently flashed CM10 SCH-i800. I installed the latest from Cyanogen (also mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871113). Every time I attempt to install a Google app I get an error stating "Application not installed". Awesome help, I know...
ANY ideas on how to get past this?
