Hi,
Yesterday and today I bought some of the apps that were on sale. The problem is, I cannot install them, because after the play downloads them, it says "package file is invalid".
I googled the problem, tried to do what other people recommended to do - wipe cache/dalvik, FC the play store/google services framework and clear data and reboot, nothing worked. I even uninstalled a few big apps (Chrome, Ashpalt, etc) and it didn't work.
I should mention:
1. Free apps are working fine
2. I have a modded play store since I'm currently on a 210 DPI. That means the play store thinks my DPI is 240.
I'm using a rom based on CM10 nightly 23.9.
I hope you can help me,
Thanks!
Use file manager and navigate the root directory which in system/app and look up the one called odex file something like that,Delete it and try install the app again.
That's what I thought to, but I didn't find any odex files in there. Any other suggestions?
have you try to clear the market cache?
Of course, I wrote it down in the first post.
Also tried to remove my google account from the device and then re-adding it.
Oh sorry mate..My bad,Well i did facing this experience once cuz on that time i do upgrading my phone to ics rom,After clearing my cache and some other thing,I notice that the file were in my system/app was the fact that distracting me from installing apps in play store.
Thanks anyway
Does anyone else has an idea?
same here

I got an error 501 when installing apps from play store, i could not find any help.
I had tried deleting data and cache of play store but it did not work. I also had tried deleting data of google framwork and checkin. I need help badly.
*Fixed*
Go to setting > Apps > Download. Find the apps that still running as "com.app" and uninstall is.
Nexus 5 here (Android 5.1)
Hi!
I see you figured it out, but I can't see how... What do you mean by Download and "com.app"? I don't see anything like that in my settings...
Regards,
Jeffrey
Yeah it is working, instruction;
settings-->application mamager-->downloaded--> find app name that you are trying to install, for example if you are trying to install evernote, and getting 501 error, you will see it like this ''com.evernote'' at that section. Probably it is residue from previous installations that cause error. Click on and uninstall it, after that play store will let you to install that app witohout any error.
Does anyone have any issues with certain apps from the play store that just crash when opened? Apps like IMDB, google Inbox, Google contacts just crash when they are opened. Why is that? I am running the google now launcher with typical root, play store setup etc.
yes I had an issue downloading facebook messenger app.. it crashed.. I downloaded it for Amazon store and it worked perfectly from there.. I am sadly using 5.1.1.. with Play Store installed via adb..
Inbox is a known problem, was mentioned on threads about installing the play store.
Google contacts works on mine though, though maybe I installed it through gapps.

Yes I used RootJunky's ADB zipfile.. and no I haven't faced an issue where I can't log into Play Store.. are you sure that you updated the play services? you can do that by installing any google app like youtube and run it and it will tell you to update play services.. and make sure you are running that latest version of Play Store which is 6.0.5 at the time I am posting this comment
Meh

Well thats the problem I am having, I can't update services because that runs through the Play store, and I can't log into the play store so I can't update. I am getting the message about the services being outdated but I can't do anything as it just redirects me to the failed play login. I have no idea what version of Play store this is, its just whatever was pushed via the zip file. I am going to do a factory reset and try again.
For the record, did you do this on 5.1.1. or did you do this on 5.0.1 and then update?

I updated via OTA to 5.1.1 then installed play store via adb.. I suggest that you uninstall all the four apps of google that the zip file installed which are Google Play Services.. Google Services Framework.. Google Accounts.. and Google Play Store.. then install them again via the same adb then reboot.. that's what I did actually.. I hope this will help..
Woooot

Wow, not sure why that worked, but uninstalled and pushed via ADB again and wha-la! Now I can at least use this tablet the way I want until someone comes up with a root solution.
Thanks!:highfive:

Someone in another thread told me to try the Amazon app store version of IMDb if I was using the stock rom. I tried it and it works perfectly. I did have to unistall the Google version before the Amazon one would install. It's worth a try with some of the other apps to see if it works for them too.
I'm running Fireos 5.01
Rooted with google play services installed.
I have removed all the bloat suggested and don't intend to use any amazon apps.
In any case, the two problems i have are slightly strange.
1. I can't seem to install any .apk that doesn't come from google play store (I have Dev options opened an unknown sources checked)
2 I Can't add any widgets to my Home screen, when i try the widgets just disappear.
None of these two problems are show stoppers for me and I have all the removed .apks uploaded to mega in case i find i need any of them.
Has anyone else seen this?

To get widgets to work, I had to make my launcher (Apex) a system app. I tried titanium backup first, but it seemed to have trouble doing it. I finally downloaded an app called /system/app mover from Google play store and it worked. I can add widgets now.
Thanks for the information s14sh3r.
Sorry for the late reply
However I already had Titanium backup installed so i thought i would try to see if i have the same problem with TB as you.. sure i did it hang then locked me out of the launcher a reboot brought it back.
So i headed over to the market and picked up system app mover and run that after installing busybox.
Funny thing was, it was already marked as a system app... errr I guess TB almost made it happen any idea's i do have another launcher available also i have a pro copy of Apex so would i need to make the pro key and the widgets app, a system app.
Update
I got it working by getting "system app mover" to move the app back to where is was, I rebooted then i made it a system app once again,
Rebooted and selected "Apex launcher" and Bingo!
I have access to widgets again
Thanks for your help s14sh3r.

Happy to hear you gt it working. One thing I've noticed is I seem to have to reboot more to get thinhs to work. Considering how cheap the tablet is, I can live with that :laugh:
I have a problem with Instagram after I installed latest CyanogenMod rom.
From the Play store it's written: " Your device is not compatible with this version" (it's translated from italian,not really sure if it's 100% right ).
Before I rooted my device in order to install Cyano rom,I had the original firmware with Play store installed and Instagram was not only avaiable but worked smoothly.
Any idea of how to fix it?
BTW...I tried to get back to the original firmware following the related tutorial but there's no way to make the device "visible"to the pc via usb through the embedded recovery mode (quite strange because I can flash without problem TWRP recovery using adb tool by cmd line).
So...I'm in trouble even if I want to get back to the original firmware...any help will be (again) really welcome .
Thanks in advance.
Mostly the advice is the same sideload the app if play store won't let it install.
You can use this to go back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/howto-install-fireos-5-1-1-root-gapps-t3265594
If you do go back to 5.0.1 in TWRP by renaming the 5.0.1 bin to end .zip remember to stay offline until you've turned OTA off unless you don't want TWRP any more.
Thanks a lot for your advice...I I'll try it later ?.
Well,finally I fixed it simply downloading the apps in .apk files into the device and installing them directly from it,easier than I thought .
Thanks a lot for helping me.
Anyone else getting these types of errors or know a fix? I just updated my Play Store to 6.2.13.A-all [0] 2655766 but was still getting these errors on the previous version.
The first picture below is an attempt to update an already installed app, Ultimate Guitar Tabs & Chords. The second picture is an attempt to install a new app to my device, Stack.
These errors occur sometimes on other app installations and updates, not just these two. The troubleshoot link option provides no solutions. I've already tried clearing all Play Store data and cache, wiped the cache from my recovery, and ran CCleaner. Uninstalling updates fixes the issue but the Play Store automatically updates to the latest version. I want to run the latest version anyways. Anyone else run across this issue?

Didn't work.
Try this I suppose
Happening to me now. Seems to only affect the apps that I've moved to the SD card. Uninstalled the updates to Google Play Store and cleared the data and cache without success.
Unmount the sd card before installing or updating the app that causes the error
If I recall correctly, everything started after an update for Facebook Messenger. First only chat heads worked and if I opened the app itself it would just crash. In the beginning I could open the app after reinstalling it and at least login to my account so chat head would work, and now I can't even open the app as it just crashes a few seconds after I open it.
Youtube at first didn't want to play videos - I could open the app but if I tried to open a video it would just crash. Now I can't even open the app, when I press on the icon nothing happens.
I tried wiping data and cache for the apps in the settings, I tried reinstalling the apps and I tried wiping Dalvik and cache in recovery - nothing helped.
I am running 7.1.1. and OOS 4.1.3. rooted with Magisk.
Any help would be appreciated.
