Gmail 2.3 is in the market now but when I try to install it I get "Package file was not signed correctly."
I'm currently using Gmail 2.2.1. I even found the apk online and tried to install it manually but it just says installation unsuccessful. Anybody else seeing the same problem? Any fix?
FIX:
Here is the easiest fix I could find from within this thread...
Uninstall 2.2.1 with titanium or root explorer, reboot, then install from the market.
Mine installed fine and runs fine... I'm rooted/s-off and installed the deoxed 2.2 leak and running kings #4... (just for reference)
Same here. Installed fine.

Interesting... I have the exact same setup as you right down to the kernel.
I tried rebooting the phone but that didn't help. I guess I could try to do it via adb, but I was just curious if others saw the same problem.
I am running Vitrous 2.7 (gmail 2.2.1) and it will not install from the market.

Same.
Unsure why.
Do we need a zip of the APK to apply or what?
Virtuous 2.7, won't install from the market.
CM6 - won't install from Market .
Package not signed correctly.
virtuous 2.7 - won't install.
"Installation unsuccessful"
EDIT: just saw this from rmk
"I know about it and expected it. The reason this is occurring is because our Gmail version had to be patched to work with Voice Search. I had been considering a new release the past few days anyway so this will act is a nice catalyst.
Since I am here posting, here's what I was thinking (please provide comments/feedback on it):
I want to move more apps back to /system/app. Prior to Virtuous Buddy and/or EZ-Customizer it was compelling to move as many apps as possible to /data/app. At this point, it just adds another place to have to go to remove stock apps. My thought is, it would be easier for you guys to either use Buddy or Customizer for EVERY stock app.
The trigger for this is two-fold. First, I discovered a bug in the /data/app logic which is just becoming increasingly complicated to deal with. And second, if everything is in one place, I can modify the scripts to move disabled apps rather than delete them, so you can easily toggle them off and on via buddy.
Our end result is the same, you can still easily remove everything, it just becomes simplified. I was thinking this next release would be 3.0 (given the magnitude of the change). Following 3.0, every upgrade would be made available as a small patch, like we had from 2.5 to 2.6.
What do you guys think?"
If you are rooted with a custom ROM, use Root Explorer to rename "Gmail.apk" to "Gmail.apb" then REBOOT. You should now be able to install Gmail update from Market.

I searched "gmail" in Root Explorer and found /system/app/gmail.apk and tried to rename that but it would not work. Just keeps reverting to .apk even though it says rename successful.
Could I try moving the gmail.apk to another folder and then downloading?

First thing I do every time is change to RW. Would not change it.
Didn't want to pay for root explorer, but this works:reboot into recovery, mount /system, then use the command prompt to move the Gmail.apk. Reboot and download and install from the market.

I've been bothered by Google Voice not working since I got my Xoom on launch day, but have been using the web portal... Until now.
I loaded up my Droid, backed up Google Voice+settings with Titanium Backup, restored it on my Xoom and it came up without doing the setup, since it already had my account settings installed. It force closed the first time but I noticed an error in the notification area... Error was asking for permission to use that email address as my Google Voice account, I accepted, re-launched Google Voice and success, full app, working as it would on the phone. Gives notifications and everything.
Enjoy!

Do you have to be rooted?

What do you mean? Don't need an SD slot, just copy the TitaniumBackup folder from your Android phone to your PC then copy it to the Xoom...

Yes, need to be rooted, install BusyBox(there's a Market app for that) then install Titanium Backup. I've tried just installing the APK, naturally no luck.

Latest version of the free TB, whatever version that is...
There's no directory in there that starts with a .(at least, according to ls -a, I don't have Root Explorer on here, using terminal), there is a com.google.android.apps.googlevoice directory with all the subdirectories and such though.
I can't get busy box to install. I'm rooted, but it's saying my NAND is locked or it wasn't able to remount.
[edit] nevermind. I guess it didn't like that I was plugged into my computer and didn't have the debug mode on. Strange.
My rooted phone crashed the other night - wouldn't boot passed the Galaxy S screen. So I wiped it clean.
When I tried to install a program, the Package Installer was missing from the list of actions.
I flashed back to stock ROM.
It's still not showing up in my actions menu.
When I go to settings/applications/ALL - it shows Package Installer at 0.00B.
What the heck?
Odin back to stock EC05.

Never heard of that website and it keeps timing out on me.
You're better off using the video linked above to Odin back to stock. This will erase all your data, so either start from scratch or back up your apps and whatnot.
Bad news...I followed the instructions from your suggested video.
Put on SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar
Still...the Program Installer doesn't show up on the ACTIONS menu!
It goes Music, then Phone, the gTalk Settings....
Grrrrrrrrrr.
Any other ideas?
So are you trying to side load an application? Meaning you have "Unknown sources" checked under the Settings > Applications menu, and have an apk file to install.
The phone won't install that apk file? Or are you looking for something else to happen when you touch the file on the screen?
If none of the above, then I'm lost at what you're trying to accomplish.
Correct. I'm just trying to load up some apk's that I have on SugarSync/DropBox/SD Card/etc. Unknown Sources is checked.
When I click on the apk - it gives me the action menu. None of those actions is Package Installer. It used to be there, now it isn't. I've loaded all my programs this way in the past.
I tried Odin again and put on the EC05 tar file. Same result. No Package Installer listed in the actions menu.
Man, I just don't know. This is my first time reading of such a problem on the Epic forum.
Using Odin and that tar file gives you 100% stock Froyo. You can then install apk files once the "unknown sources" option is selected.
Did you re-install any other applications after using Odin or restore your data? That could be your culprit, which would mean you'd have to start from scratch (aka clean install).
Starting from total scratch.
It's a mystery.
The only thing I installed was SugarSync so that I could get to the files.
I even tried downloading ASTRO File Manager and using their installer that shows up on the actions menu. That used to work to install...but it doesn't anymore. It just sticks.
I guess maybe I need to go to the Sprint Store. Good thing I flashed her

Same Problem
I just bought the Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile and I have the same problem. Well a similar problem. I went to see if there was an OTA update and it says "Install Package not found". So I went to the All list of applications and my Package Installed is 0.00 also. I did notice that a lot of other system apps are 0.00 also. Here's the list of them:
Account and Sync Settings
Activation Utility Service
Aging Test
Android Live Wallpapers
Android System
Battery Parameter Upgrade
BlueToothTestMode
BTtools
CDASYS
Certificate Installer
DbgCfgTool
E-Compass Calibration

Magic Smoke Wallpaper
Media Container Service
Package Installer
Pico TTS
SD Card test
SIM Toolkit
Sound Recorder
System Update
Terminal Emulator
TTS Service
Voice Dialer
VPN Services
Wifi Comman
Wifi Test
It's a pretty extensive list. I did root it, but I know I had the update problem before I rooted it so I don't think that did anything to it. Hopefully we can figure out why they are messed up for both of our sakes. Thanks!

Wow man... I'm glad you were able to assist the people affected, but the attitude/negative tone is unnecessary. I just saw the post requesting me [or anyone for that matter] to share the files.
I stated that using Odin to go back to stock may be best. He/She was discussing a problem with what many would consider a core function, being able to install an application. Finally, CWM often gives bad flashes, so in my mind it appeared to be a logical suggestion to start with 100% stock and work from there to find the culprit.
I did not share the APK files because I got busy, forgot about the post and missed the request.

Anyone know how to get google talk on these tablets instead of Hangouts? It sounds like it might have to be a root thing, since it doesn't look like you can uninstall Hangouts by default. I imagine the process would involve rooting, removing Hangouts, and then finding the Google Talk apk and installing that.
On my phone, I was able to "uninstall updates" from Hangouts when it replaced Talk and that restored Talk on my phone. However, since Talk was never installed on the Nexus 7 in the first place, there's nothing to roll back to.
Google Talk was replaced by Hangouts, so I'm not really sure what you're trying to do...or at least WHY you're trying to do it.
I'm not even sure if removing hangouts and downloading Talk will work or not. I have a feeling it'll just auto-update to Hangouts anyway.
If you do try it though, I've already got the Talk apk on my dev-host. Even though I've got Hangouts on my original N7, luckily I've still got Talk on my HTC so I'm fine either way

Hangouts is pretty garbage, I preferred being able to see whether people were online/away so I knew if I would get a response if I msged them or not.
Google Framework Services may not support Talk. When I uninstalled the updates to GFS Hangouts forced me to update GFS.
If you have root you can install it with a root explorer. Delete the hangouts apk from system/app and put the talk.apk in that same directory. It worked perfectly when I tried it. I recommend using es file explorer.

It's doable. I have talk 4.2.2 running. For the person who asked why: hangouts is useless, talk was so much better.
I also installed Talk 4.2.2 and it worked fine. I did not have to install any accompanying libraries.

I tried to do what you said, but when I run Talk.apk (the one someone posted above) it just said App not installed. Any idea why? I have root, I already removed Hangouts.apk from system/app.
Also, I noticed that even though I deleted the Hangouts apk from system/app, the app is still in my app drawer and I can run it as if nothing has changed.
I also removed hangout (have cleanrom, chose not to install hangouts) but when I try to install the talk.apk, I get a message saying "App not installed." The only thing you can do is click "done" button. Any help appreciated.
You can't just install the talk.apk file, you need to flash it through recovery
I think you should get used to Hangouts, because they are encouraging all users to use G+. Talk is not being developed and it will remain unsupported.
Ah, recovery. Where is a recovery flashable talk? I downloaded the apk linked earlier in this thread, but didn't see the recovery formatted one.

You do know that you'll need to reboot for anything you shove into /system/app to show up, right? That might be what you missed.
You don't need to flash it in recovery. Just mount system as read write and copy it into system/app with es file manager. Then reboot.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
It's really easy if you have Titanium Backup.
Find Hangouts in TB, touch and hold on Hangouts until menu appears.
Select Convert to user app.
Now Hangouts can be uninstalled since you just converted it from a system app to a user app...
Tap on Hangouts and then on uninstall.
Now exit and install Talk.apk
You are done.
Edit: Don't forget to turn off auto updates in the Google Play Store settings

I removed Hangouts.apk from system/app, and placed Talk.apk there. I rebooted, and nothing has changed. Hangouts still works and there is no Talk app in my app drawer... What gives?
Edit: After another reboot, Hangouts is now gone. However, Talk still doesn't show up as an app, despite it being in system/app. I've also tried just running the apk but I still get the "App not installed" message.
HOW-TO FIX DROPBOX on ANDROID L DEVELOPER PREVIEW
This method worked for me, so hopefully it'll do the same for you as well.
1. Download Root Explorer from the Play Store.
2. In Root Explorer navigate to:
Code:
sdcard/Android/data/
3. Delete the com.dropbox.android folder.
4. Next go to your device's root directory (/) and go to:
Code:
/data/system/
5. Delete the dropbox folder.
Just for safe keeping I booted into recovery and to wipe dalvik and cache, rebooted, reinstalled Dropbox and it's been working smoothly ever since.

I actually just managed to get it to work by only deleting sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android
didn't need root, didn't need to do anything in /data/system
Also didn't need to reinstall Dropbox either, it just worked first time after deleting that one folder

I tried the method in the OP a few times, but it didnt seem to work at first. Then I used QuickPic to upload some photos to dropbox, which worked like a charm. Now for some reason I am able to directly use the dropbox app itself with no problems. Not sure exactly what fixed it though. Kind of weird.

I tried QuickPic and i can access Dropbox with it, but even after that the normal app still crashes
Start QuickPic, send file and then run Dropbox. QuickPic let the background.
Doesn't work either..

I tried this... didn't work It's weird because it had worked once and now it doesn't, I wonder why.
not work on everytime, that wired
for now
i use solid explorer to access my dropbox files
None of the methods above worked for me. So I restored an old Dropbox apk from a backup and it works very well.

I was finding the same, nothing was working to get it fixed, but I could still access files in dropbox from other apps like ES File Explorer. However I really wanted the camera upload feature. I installed this old apk and it appears to be working, but I haven't tested to see if the camera upload is working. Hopefully it is... Thanks for sharing the apk.

That apk works for me too. Thanks
I discovered a solution on how to make Google+ work on Phoenix OS. This might enable other apps to work as well, please report your findings.
Instructions:
Download and extract maps-framework.zip
Download latest Google+ APK (I used v9.18.0: APKMirror | Google Drive)
Using Root Explorer or a root file manager of your choice:
Copy com.google.android.maps.xml from the extracted folder and paste it into /system/etc/permissions. Perform a chmod of 644 on the file
Copy com.google.android.maps.jar from the extracted folder and paste it into /system/framework. Also perform a chmod of 644 on the file
To perform chmod in Root Explorer, click and hold on a file, click on the three menu buttons, click on Permissions, press Enter Octal, type in 644, and finally press OK twice. If you're using another root file manager, I could imagine the steps would be similar.
Restart Phoenix OS
Install Google+ APK that you downloaded earlier
Optional: If you want to update it to the latest version, open up the Play Store and update Google+ there.
How I discovered this solution is by trying to install Google+ APK through Lucky Patcher. When I tried to install it, it gave me this error message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I performed a Google search on "Google Plus install failed missing shared library" and came up with these results which guided me to this solution:

Here's proof that it works:
Astounding work. Thank you so much!
Did you get it to work on your device?
Reinstalling Phoenix and testing today...
Edit: worked like a charm! Also discovered that it would work using the "nodpi" version of G+
It won't recognize that the device is compatible to install it through the Play Store, but it will allow manual installation from APKMirror ^.^
You are a gawd walking amongst mere mortals, good sir.

Thanks for the findings And yeah, initially you have to install it manually, but after you restart your device, you will be able to update it from the Play Store to the new version. And I'm just a regular human, like you and anybody else that's on these forums

And humble to boot
Anyway, I'll keep testing, but I suspect several failed installs are due to this same reason... we shall see.

Cool, hopefully everything works out for you What failed installs did you mention?
At this point I don't recall specifically which others didn't install, but I'll keep you posted if I run into any more.

Sounds good. If I have to, I will also try to experiment modifying the model number in build.prop and see what benefits that will bring. Also, I read online somewhere that installing an older version of Google+ might work without having to copy those two files into /system. I might experiment it if the time is right

Give it a try and see if it lets Instagram install. The worst that can happen is you will be able to install Google+
@meanhacker have you tried any newer gms versions to see if they allow syncing for more apps? I suspect that it's locked down by the devs due to China's restrictions.

I think I did, but it keeps saying that there was an error parsing the package... I will test out more. What about you?

I'm glad it helped you! Did you use this fix to make Google+ work or some other application?
