Hello
I am able to download all the apps from the market. But there is only one app I can't download. Adobe Flash Player. Since this app in unavailable in my country, I'm using Market Enabler in order to download it. I used market enabler for other app which is not available in my country, and it has been installed successfully. When I try to get the flash player, my device (MT3G 32B) downloads it, and when it starts installing it suddenly stops, and I get a notification says the installation was unsuccessful. I touch this notification, and I get 2 messages: "Installation error: Package file is invalid", and "Not found: The requested item could not be found". I am sure the reason is not related to the restrection in my country, since I am able to download other unavailable apps with market enabler. I think the reason is loftover files from the apk installation of The flash player. I installed it few times from apk files, but I was not able to use the browser after the installation so I uninstalled it and tried again, and again. I should find a way to remove ALL the leftover files of this app.
May you help me finding and removing these files please?
Thank you!

for example angry birds and the latest facebook app. the smaller apps will install without any problem. but the important apps wont. what can i do about this?
i read something about unmounting SD card. i tried that. But still got the problem.
What should i do?
I really want the facebook 1.5.0 app

Do you get an error or do they just stuck on 100% after downloading?

I get an error. But sometimes the download just cancels itself.
however, the main problem is the error. because i could download the apk file via rapidshare etc.
But the problem is the error. the error says after the install bar runs:
Application did not install. (in dutch)
The other problem, with the download cancelling is like this:
when selecting an app for download, the download bar starts running.
But after a few seconds the download bar disappears by itself. so eventually, the app never reaches my phone. in fact the download never completes.
so there are 2 problems. but the first problem is worse than the second.
However, it would be great if you could help me to solve them both.
First problem: i get an error when installing certain apps.
second: My downloads from the market wont complete.
sorry for any weird sentences, english is not my first language.
Kinda glad to know that I'm not the only one with the same problem... still trying to figure out what happened.
I know a clean install will fix the problem but I don't want to go through that again...
My phone is a Motorola Milestone running CM6 10.12.22
i just did a clean install from the latest android out there (darkstone superram 0.1) with the dutch vodafone data mod and i cannot download a single byte from the market. the market itself works fine over wifi or G3, but all files refuse to download.
thing that sucks as well is that i have the apk for applanet on the sd card but a cannot get to it as the darkstone lacks a sd card explorer app....
When that happened to me, Market reported an error -18. An online search recommended deleting a hidden directory ".android_secure" on the SD card. I'm running CM6.1 on a CDMA Hero with most of my apps running from the SD. From what I found online, that secure stuff is for Froyo apps2sd... which is why some apps downloaded and installed okay, and why some apps downloaded, but failed to install.
You can also try some cache dumps including Dalvik. Run "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager. Then try the downloads again. If that still doesn't work, you might want to delete the ".android_secure" hidden directory.
Make sure to do a Nand backup and copy the contents of the SD card onto your computer before attempting any fix. Play it safe.
Good luck.
Hello,
Since yesterday I am facing a new problem on HD2 while updating applications and also to install new applications. After downloading the application from the Google Play Store the application does not installed and give an error saying "Package file invalid". Same error comes while updating an application.
My phone's rom is MIUI.us.ICS-Leo-2.6.15
I would be grateful for help on this issue.
Many thanks
Some of them doesn't support some kernel or some lib in your HD2. And sometimes it needs original rom. I sent you a PM.
Hello, so il get right to the point
I cant update any of the google apps.
When trying to update Google music app, it gives me the "package file was not signed correctly.Uninstall the previous Copy if the app and try again."
now, this problem also accurs with other google apps sutch as maps, calendar etc.
deleting the cache and then trying to update the app doesnt work either.
i also use google Keep alot.i installed the app and it says. "This app won't run unless you update Google Play Services." Ok, fine so i try to update Play services and Behold, the same error occurs,giving me the annoying "package file was not signed correctly.Uninstall the previous Copy if the app and try again." Error yet again.
i tried manually downloading the android play store apk. and installing a new version, but then it gives me this error "An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
Deleting the cache and disabling the app and THEN trying to install it wont work either.
Im using Nexus 4 with 4.2.1
I haven't rooted it, no roms.
And the best part!I got this phone 2 months ago, then the problem occured, then i gave it back to the provider (thanks to the warranty), i got it back today and the problem still occurs.What they did, was "reinstalled android on the phone".
So please, anyone, im about to drop the phone in the toilet if this problem does not get fixed.
I wont risk on "installing a custom rom" on the phone, i almost bricked my last LG GT540 Optimus.
A Nexus 7 tablet having android 4.4.2, does not have the default Google Play(neither older Android market) app installed.How is that possible?
I tried downloading *.apk file from here and even here But did not work. When I tried executing the apk file, it did install the playstore app it said, but after that when tried to run the app, it just did not start or work as expected.
For other *.apk files for Google store app that i downloaded, it gave errors saying Error saying - "There was a problem parsing the package". It just did not work for many Google store apk's different versions i tried downloading and installing/running?
I tried installing these below apk files for installing the Google playstore:
com.google.android.gms-4.4.48+(1150368-038).apk - Gave error parsing package.
com.android.vending-4.4.22.apk - Did no work after install, hanged and stopped responding
com.android.vending-4.6.16.apk - Installed the app, but after install, did not run as expected
com.android.vending-4.8.22.apk - Installed the app, but after install, did not run as expected
How can one install Google play store on this Nexus 7?
Would there be any correct/compatible *.apk for Google play store available which would work?
As found in some searching online, I tried checking in settings and elsewhere to see if any default apps disabled setting is checked but could not find any such thing?
Are you using a custom rom or stock?
In the first case, you have to flash gapps in recovery, in the second they should ship with the OTA update.
Hi:
I have a Redmi 4 Prime v6.0.1 MMB29M!
I wanted to install an app from the Google Play, but in the webpage it says that the "app is not compatible with my device"!
Then, I downloaded the .apk of the app, and when I try to install the app, in the smartphone, and I got the message "There was an error parsing the package"!
I tried to use Apk Parser, and Apk Editor, to try to change the sdkMin version of the app, but these Apps dont work well in the phone, give some errors, or simple crasches!
There is any solution to install new apps in old phones!
Thank you for support!
