Large apk install errors Lollipop - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. trying to install some large apk games from Amazon. Sorcery 2 and 80 Days.
they fail installing with an error ( The installation helper has crashed).
anyone else? thanks.

I'm having the same issue with the same two apps, except instead of an error message all I get is "The app did not install".

I get the same thing app not installed and the helper crashed before that.
I find it not to install if apk is larger than 130mb. WTF

[Q] package file is invalid

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!

[Q] Market Not Working in Rooted Stock 1.4.3

Hey all,
I've rooted my Nook stock before, and had it work just fine, but after awhile it became very unstable and slow. I recently re-rooted, using GMPOWER's method, everything seems to be working, except the Android Market.
I followed the steps for limited market visibility, but there's been no change. The Market won't update to Google Play, and when I access it, it doesn't show any apps - just a message stating, "No matching content in Android Market." I am able to search for some apps, but very few show up. (I've installed File Expert, and updated it just fine, but that's about it.)
For the life of me, I can't figure out what's wrong. My Gmail app works fine. But my Amazon Appstore .apk won't install either. It'll ask if I want to install using App Installer or Package Installer, but both give an error message. App Installer says, "Unable to install. This application was not able to install onto your device," as if my device were not rooted. Package Installer says, "Cannot parse the package." I tried downloading a newer version of the Google Play Store, and got the same errors.
I feel like I might be missing something obvious, but I can't figure it out. I'm tempted to revert back to 1.4.2 or earlier and re-root again, but that's a lot of work (mainly to download all my B&N content again).
Any thoughts or suggestions or mere stabs in the dark? Anyone?

Have you tried installing Rom Manager via sideloading and wiping the Dalvik cache? If that does not work try installing a custom ROM.

[Q] Nexus 7 does not have Google Play app installed

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.

[HELP] "There was an error parsing the package"

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!
