I recently began to encounter an error when attempting to install apps from my SD card while using programs such as root exporer or android home. I get this error when attempting to install any non market .apk using any file management program. I have no problem installing apps from the market. The error reads-
"Parse error
There is a problem parsing the package"
I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge as to how to solve this so I can install non market apps? So far everything I have tried has failed (wiping and reinstalling ROM and also trying different file management programs.
Yeah, I have this error too, and it's really starting to get annoying. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm running CM6 Final with it's stock kernel.
I have also been experiencing this error. i have an HD2 runnning a chuckydroid rom with FroyoStone with HTC Sense V2
I'm getting this error too on my HD2 with Hyperdroid & Enegy Leo rom
From my experience, the parse error only occurs with bad/incomplete downloads.

Have you tried running the fix_permissions script yet? Its included in most ROMs. I would try that along with clearing your cache & dalvik

has anyone tried making an update.zip to see if it will instal that way?
I had that error when it is an unlocker apk or an upgrade version of an app.

I am attempting to install an app that i downloaded, and I keep getting an error saying there is a problem parsing the package. I am running cm6. I have used different app installers and have gotten the app from more than one reliable source and it makes no difference. Any ideas?

Did you get it from the market or from another source? That means the file is corrupted and uninstallable.
From another source but I know people who have it and works for them

I am having same issue when downloading apk from browser. Always get same error message when I try to install apk . If I download from pc and email to phone it installs fine. For some reason the download is not completing from phone. I tried with WiFi on and off and with different browsers. Trouble follows.
I've downloaded it numerous times, renamed it, tried on CM7 nightlies and I'm still unable to install it. I've tried Astro, file.manager, and es file explorer. It looks like its installing but then it says "application not installed". I've searched for an answer in these forums but no answer found. Anyone have a work around or fix that I am completely missing? Thanks.

Works for me. You might have to wait for update

try uninstalling original market first, that might work.

I just updated to the new market and it will not show any updates or allow me to download apps. Just hangs on starting download. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the update, wiping data and rebooting. Any other ideas?
Using the stock Rom. Had no problems on miui but I need to stay unrooted for work :/

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try 1) fixing permission in recovery and/or 2) installing the app then reinstalling it. i don't use es file explorer so can't help you there (i use titanium)
I get this error im on acornium 5.6 doomkernel 16
There is a issue praising this package? I did uninstall a file manager that acornium seemed to have any fix? If it is that can I have someone send Me the apk

A parsing error can occur if you try to install an apk for the wrong os version e.g. If you try to install the trebuchet ics launcher to a 2.x phone you'll get that error. But if it's only the file manager you've removed that shouldn't cause that. If you used titanium check all your system apps are there, or uninstall/re-install the apk.

or tell us what you tried to install so we can try it.
