Application not installed error

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!

[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.

Have the same problem and has heard the same soln. Root explorer is $4 at Android Mkt. Anyway to get it free ?

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?

[Q] HELP! I deleted tetheringguard.apk

So I deleted tethering guard after I rooted my phone under the impression from some other forum that would allow me to tether freely. Well its quite the opposite, now when I go to the tethering app, it wont even attempt to turn on, neither will any other tethering apps. I found the tetheringguard.apk file online and attempted to re install it to no avail. I have tried, command prompt, this is the result;
C:\Users\RC\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$EXa0.371\data>adb install <C:\Users\RC\Downloads>/<Tetheringguard.apk
Access is denied.
I have tried the APK installer app from the play store, it loads via Sim and when I click install it says "Application not installed"
Lastly I tried emailing the apk to my own email and opening it with my phone, that does the same thing as the APK installer app.
I am brand new at all of this stuff so please be patient, and thanks for the help
Also Im using holiday-dream-x2-Rom.
3rd party apps allowed
usb debugging is on.

Remount the system partition as r/w or download one of the ruu.zips and pull it from there

it wont install like a normal app because its a system app, you have to use a root explorer to copy it to the proper location and then make sure it has correct permissions.

Reflash rom, and only wiping dalvik and cache, and you will have it back.

[Q] Deleted Download Manager.

Hi everyone!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace which was running out of memory. I had tried to uninstall some unused applications and move others to the SD card. Still needing space because the low space message kept appearing, I rooted my phone and uninstalled some applications such as the Samsung app store and something called Download Manager.
Now, I figure I shouldn't have uninstalled Download Manager because it was required by Google Play. When I attempt to start Google Play, it closes within a second and gives the error message:
"Sorry. The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
After some online research, I tried cleaning the application's data and cache, even uninstalling updates, but to no avail, still get the same message. I read somewhere online that the cause might be the missing Download Manager.
Without resetting my phone to factory settings, is there any way I can reinstall Download Manager onto my phone? Unfortunately I did not create any backups before deleting Download Manager.
Thanks very much!
Appreciate any help offered!
Alicia.

You don't need to do a factory reset (btw a factory reset wouldn't even help ). Just download your rom again and extract the Download Manager.apk and place it under /system/apps/(here) and give the permissioms rwrr. Done!

Blackbox421, thank you very much for your reply! Yes I had a feeling that a factory reset wouldn't solve my problem because the file no longer exists on the handset. Stupid question, but where can I download my ROM from? I'd bought the handset with 2.3.3, and never changed that. Is extracting the Download Manager.apk file difficult too? Do I need special software?
Thanks very much. Appreciate your time!

[Solved] Play services update too big?

Hello
My only phone, the N1 is driven by ev_passion_nightly-2014.08.17. Thanks to Mounts2SD I thought storage capacity limits shouldn't bother me in future: Internal memory says 182 MB free, SD card 2.6 GB free (it's a 4 GB card).
This week Gmail updated to 5.0 - with this update comes the need to update google play services (6.1.88 (1557022-034)). I wasn't able to update (tried play store and .apk) the services due to "Not enough memory available"-Error.
Is anybody experiencing the same?
Regards

Yes, I just tried to update and it also failed due to "insufficient storage available". I did a backup of the old version and unistalled it. After that reinstalling from the Play Store worked fine.
I had a similiar issue with Dropbox last week though and just uninstalling it wasn't enough. I still got "ISA" error when trying to install from store again but installing the apk (copied from another device) went well.

I was just able to uninstall the updates of play services (now I'm on 4.0.34) a full uninstall doesn't seem to be possible that easy. Unfortunately the "ISA" error remains

No Superuser access? Which ROM?

So if you have Superuser you can use Link2SD to freeze/uninstall any app.
Just make sure that you cancel the file system selection dialog (ext2/ext3/ext4/...) because you are already using Mounts2SD. Even without the linking feature it's a great app manager.
Grant Superuser to Link2SD so you can manage all apps. Search for Google Play services in the list, then press and hold it, choose "Uninstall".
Installing it from Play Store should work again.
If not, download it from APKMirror. I checked the MD5 so it's legit.

Thanks, uninstalling worked now. Installation however still isn't working. APK still complains about storage, and Play Store can't be accessed - it stops at an account selection popup.

Are you sure that Mounts2SD is working correct? What does "Storage Threshold" say? Which content types are "green"?
Try to "Clear all app caches" with Link2SD and set "Install location" to "Automatic" in the settings.

Mounts2SD should work correctly (see attachments). I've cleared the app cache and set location to automatic. "ISA"-Error is still present.

Yes, Mounts2SD seems to be fine. It's strange though that your error still persists when mine was gone after that.
Are these directories still present? You can check it with ES File Explorer or any other file manager with root access.
/data/data/com.google.android.gms
/data/app-lib/com.google.android.gms-1
What if you try to install the previous version?

/data/data/com.google.android.gms is gone, the other on is still present. Installing the previous version doesn't work too (ISA-Error).

Rename it (to something like com.google.android.gms.old) and try to install again.

After renaming installation of the new version was possible and Gmail 5.0 is running. Thanks a lot for your help!
