A lot of the time when I'm downloading an app from the market it downloads fine. The problem is that it fails in the installation process. It says package file is invalid. What is up with that?
Edit: Is there anything that can be done to fix this problem? I don't know why it is happening.

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.

Is the script included in cm7? If so where, thanks

so anyone following miui knows that we get failed downloads with zip files with "phone doesnt support this format" or something similar. but apk files work fine.
i had a rom do this to me a while back but dont know which or what the fix was.
i immediately thought it was a permissions issue and noticed superuser app doesnt fix permissions like the old versions did. at least i swear it was the superuser app that allowed you to "fix permissions" . if it wasnt that ap then i have no idea what app it was.
does anyone know what this bug is and what the fix is? its super annoying and not even the stock OTA rooted roms do this.
so frustrating...

no one has any ideas or suggestions ?
what are you trying to download?
you need a file manager app or something to download .zip files.
or download crutch from the market.
nevermind its not in the market anymore i've attached it just download and install that app on your phone. nothing else is needed
EDIT: no need to triple post bro
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'm running Dk28, EXT4 with NebulaROM 1.0.7. Lately, I've tried to download flashable .zip files, and it tells me, "download unsuccessful, file not compatible" or something like that. I get the same message using the XDA app and browser. Anyone else getting this?

Same problem started happening today

Instal Auto file manager if you don't have it already. Open astro, select menu, then more, and then preferences. Then scroll down and check enable browser downloads. This should fix your issue.

Thanks, Ray. It worked.
Anyone know another workaround for this? I have Root Explorer installed, so I don't need Astro, and I'm a freak about unwanted/unneeded apps taking up space.
Jared
No that was my only solution too. I know what you mean I have root explorer too

Hello,
I've flashed to a new rom and installed adfree(like i previously had) and updated list and it no longer works. it used to work on my stock root. so i figured i would try adaway and same issues...
i tried rebooting phone, clearing dalvik cache etc just to see if it would help. same problem.
could there be a conflict somewhere? am i doing something wrong?
i tried installing busybox but i already had it.
any help would be fantastic!

What'd u mean by it does not work? ? Does it say new host names found download and install but your still getting ads or is it force closing or is it saying your not roo
ted or what
It updates and says should be ad free. But it does nothing
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I find on adfree I need to have "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" and "create symlink if needed" checked to get it to work.
Tried it. No change. Don't understand this.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Select "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" and "create symlink if needed" , force update the hosts file, reboot.
That's all I needed to do to make it work on stock rooted EI22. It's possible the rom you are on has the hosts file somewhere odd?
It's possible that the image of the ad was cached somewhere on your SD card. Try the same app in airplane mode to see if it's pulling it from the net (in which case Adaway should block it) or if it's loading it locally.
Scour your card for ad images.
Try another app w/ ads.
Tried everything. I'm using acs ics 5. But I've tried other roms.
Just doesn't make sense. Could my jailbreak be bad?
