Im getting Parse Error when Im trying to install some .apk... I also tryed download the file again, but unsucessfull...
Where is the problem? a corrupted file? wrong app version in a wrong ROM version?
Sorry... my english is so poor...
Thanks!
Can you give more details. Did you download it from the market or somewhere else? What are you using to install it? What are you trying to install.

No... All the apps installed from the market is OK. Im tryng to install the PDFViewer.apk following the instructions mentioned in some thread here in XDA forum... but I had some problems with anothers detached apps... (ex: com.acme.android.powermanagerpro.apk)
How are you trying to install it? Are you using ADB or an app installer?
eoeAppInstaller... some many apps installs without a problem. others nope!
Do you have "allow install of non-market applications" checked under application settings.

Yes,.I have a lot of non-market apps installed from this appinstaller.
Thats why Im thinking in whats wrong...
Im trying to install mainly PDFViewer... as mentioned in
...showthread.php?t=515340
What happens when you type your commands in terminal emulator. Do you get an error in there.
What's the specific error? While installing the apk, monitor logcat's output for any specific messages.
Try AppManager or AppsInstaller and see if that solves your problem. You can install apps with these as well.
All commands in terminal was done with success following the PDFViewer thread... no errors are presented.
But... When I try to install the PDFViewer.apk with appinstaller, a message appears...
Parse Error
There is a problem parsing the package
(again: my english sux, plz dont piss in my mouth).
just install the pdf viewer the same way you installed the others.

Code:
[B]Parse Error[/B]
There is a problem parsing the package
...
In the AppManager I can't see .apk files on my SD card... sounds strange...

Did you check logcat while installing the package? (adb logcat from terminal/command line) Logcat is more likely to contain specific info about why the install failed rather then a generic error message.
A problem parsing the package sounds like it can't unpack the AndroidManifest file, have you checked md5 sums of your downloads?

That most likely the exact problem. I posted in the relevant thread where your first reported the problem;
"Like what has been said before in this thread, try downloading it on your PC and transfering it over your usb cable. It sounds like you apk file is corrupt."
[Q] "Application Not Installed" when trying to get my Gallery3D.apk installed again
I feel like a dope, but I need some help here.
I was testing out some of the alternate Gallery3D builds, attempting to find something that zooms in with higher quality. Those apps have been able to install/uninstall fine using AndroidMate + a good reboot. Strangely, when I try to reinstall the original Gallery3D.apk from my SDcard (I backed it up before doing any of this), I get "Application Not Installed" -- using AndroidMate, Astro, or the built-in installer.
I've also tried "install gallery3d.apk /system/app/gallery3d.apk" from Terminal Emulator (I have BusyBox) installed, but no love. It seems to work ok, but the Gallery app doesn't show up.
Lastly, I don't have ADB going -- as I've never had good luck with that on my Win7 x64 install. Can't I do this without ADB?
Any other ideas??
Thanks,
Yip
I THINK you can just push the apk to /system/app dir and itll work fine. I've done this before with my G1 and had no issues.
Edit: read you didn't have adb, you can try to cp via terminal from the /sdcard/ or something, I have never tried that though.
Thanks. I tried some of that, but without any success. There was also a Gallery3D.odex file in the \system\app folder that I *had* copied prior to all of this, but couldn't ever find where I put it. That MAY have been part of the issue, but I'm not sure.
I ended up restoring an earlier backup (from 2 days ago) and all is well.
Thanks for trying.
Ok, so I managed to get my fire rooted again after the 6.2 update with little to no problems. However, my gmail, market, etc is still broken. I've tried reinstalling the apks to no avail. It won't even install the google framework at all. I have ESFile Explorer & just gave it root access, but that's not helping me too much, since I don't know what I'm doing. If someone has some steps to try, I'm up for it.
Try this

1. Mount /system as rw
2. Copy the google framework.apk to /system/apps
3. Set permissions to rw- r-- r--
4. Install the google framework.apk (This is how I was able to keep my gapps functiong after the update. I think this will install it under /data/apps. You don't have to install since anything in /system/app runs a boot, but it will probably help in avoiding to have to re-do this after every update.)
5. Reboot
6. Follow the regular install steps for the .apks you want to add.
7. Make sure /system is read only when you're done.
These are pretty much just a reprint of the steps from this thread. So I would take a look at it.
I don't use ESFile Explorer so I can't help you with specific actions, just the general ones. Sorry!
I did everything, using root access on ES File Explorer. No dice. All the APKs are in the system/app folder. The still refuse to install. I still get "application did not install" on all of them.

Change the permissions on the apps in /system/app as he said above. Reboot. Done.

I don't have any options to change permissions, but they are the same as all the other apps in the folder.
Update/SOLVED: the guide for Gapps by zedomax wasn't working for me, but by going through and re-reading the Complete Video Guide (here) I found the video specifically for installing the android market (here) and was able to follow it successfully. There were several steps that noobs like me wouldn't have known to do just from the other guide.

Hi, I've been trying for a few days to install the google apps (gapps) package on my kindle fire, which during that time has been rooted via kindlewater on version 6.2.2 and now has been flashed with the rooted 6.3 rom.
I am able to verify that I am rooted, can adb into the device and can sideload apps over usb. I have root explorer, es file manager, file expert, etc but am never able to get past the first install of the gapps package, where i'm supposed to navigate to the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and install it. Every time I try to install it i get an error "application not installed" and it doesn't seem to matter that I'm rooted and that the app (e.g. file expert) has its settings set to "root" level permissions.
I also note that I am unable to move vending.apk from its location to the system/app folder, no idea how I am to achieve a read/write setting on that folder. I am able to "see" that i have rwxr or something like it but that doesnt let me move the file into that folder so not sure what to do.
Is there some critical step I am missing?
Thanks!
summary: kindle fire rooted on 6.3 via the secured rom found on this forum, mac is running osx 10.6.8.
I rooted my Kindle Fire and the only thing that isn't working is the Google Play Store. I used Kindle Fire Utility to root my device. When I open up Google Play, it says:
The application Google Play Store (process.com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I've tried installing the apk various ways but it's the same result every time.
Any helped appreciated.
Did you move it to /system/app and chmod 755 before installing?
I had this problem for awhile myself and it took me hours to find a solution. What I did was after I rooted my kindle and flashed it over to cm9 reloaded I noticed gapps was not working. So to fix this I rebooted Into twrp and reflashed the gapps zip rebooted once more and my problem was solved. Hope this helps

Flashing insecure stock rom 6.3 did the trick.
It was working. I could navigate through the market and look for apps but when I went to install Spotify, it went back to that error message. After that, I try opening the market and it shows the error message.
I'll be honest; I'm a little lost on what everyone said above. All I've been doing is downloading the apk's from the Internet and throwing them on my downloads folder. I open ES File Explorer and download the apk's. Is there anything simple I can try?

Do you have the stock rom or a custom one?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using XDA
I'm using stock with go launcher. I just tried a suggestion from a site to make sure I'm rooted. I installed terminal manager and typed su. I got the reply permission denied. I'm thinking that means I'm not rooted?

@b63: I did what was in that forum and now I'm rooted. Thank you.
Only issue left is when I open the Play Store, it says:
"You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?"
I press yes, it closes. I press no, it closes.

Did you flash the gapps.zip or are you just nstalling the apk..... I'd look at that thread b63 gave you again you have to install 3 apps the other 2 sync your gmail account with market that's why it's FCing.... Just set up the es file manager set as rw and drag and drop the 3 apks into the system folder and reboot the kindle

I believe I'm installing APK's. I've been trying to install files like these:
com.android.vending-3.5.15.apk
Vending(Mod).apk
I move the files to system/apps with Root Explorer and change the permissions but after I install it, it says "Application Not Installed."

@DJLamontagneIII: It's working! Thank you so much!
Thank you to everyone else who contributed.
glad to help ...
please mark the subject of the topic (edit first post) with [Solved]
I also wanted to ask; aside from backups or maybe those 3 APK's I just moved, is it safe to delete anything, like the zip file ROM, to free up space on the internal storage?
i assume you mean the sdcard partition
yupp - it's safe - you can keep a backup on your computer if you like
