Ive been having issues installing apps and updates from both the android market and recently amazon market. I factory reset my phone and formatted the SD card and reinstalled all my apps and the SPRINT LOVERS ROM. its been working fine. TODAY it started again.. some apps I can not update and new apps I can not install. I either get a DOWNLOAD FAILED right away OR it downloads and looks like it is installing but I get PACKAGE FILE IS INVALID. I have googled for a solution and came up with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910956 BUT that didnt solve my issue.
What is causing this and how can I resolve? some apps DO update but tonight NEW apps dont install AND apps wont update ... please help...
Update: I think I figured the problem.. According to that OTHER thread I posted, it has to do with TOO MANY APPS on the phone and you run out of space in the CACHE FOLDER.. anyway, I UNINSTALLED 4 apps I really dont use and WALLA!!! the apps that would not update now update fine!!
why does this happen and how does one resolve? is there a limit to how many apps you can have? Im on sprint lovers ROM and with the apps it comes with and the apps I installed, it says 315 using SYSTEM APP REMOVER
If you have that many apps and want to keep all of them you need to consider Dark Tremor's a2sd. Also, you should clear your cache. I'm on the mobile app so if you want links or instruction, pm me our I'll try and get back to this post later.

If you want to use DTa2sd it is a relatively simple process to modify the boot image for Sprint Lover's and start using DTa2sd. The howto is here, post #4.

The reason this happens is that custom roms and kernels move your dalvik-cahce to the /cache mount. Android assumes that it is in the /data mount which is the same place your apps get installed and which is monitored by the system for low space. Basically the download had no place to go, giving you a download error (since the market uses /cache to store downloaded apps). Or if there was room for the downloaded file you get package error because the .dex file can't get created in your dalvik-cache.
Hope this helps.

Maybe switching ROMs or re-flashing your current ROM will work. Give it a shot, backup your apps of course.

Are they apps that you have ever had installed? Try installing an app that you have never had installed and see if that works. If it does, then use a file explorer (I use astro), and see if there's anything in the folder titled ".android_secure" (without the quotes of course) on your sdcard. I actually had this problem before, and there was some left over app data that was interfering with the installation I guess
geez was hoping this would work but I just checked my astro application and checked android secure and all directories are empty. also this is a problem with applications that I ready have that need to be updated and brand new applications I am downloading from the market... I just get a triangle with an ! in the middle of itfor each application that did not successfully install... and this is a brand new problem haven't done anything different been running the newes t fresh for months now

What is your memory situation?
Froyo apps2sd ? A2sd ?
GO into recovery and clear cache and Dalvick cache.
Try wiping the market data this happened to me couldn't update or install anything and it worked
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Did you install your previous apps from the market or did download apk's then install them? Try Settings>Applications>Manage Clear market cache and data that might work like the other person said. Check your memory. What rom are you using? Try backing everything up then go do a factory reset and then setup up your google account that's what I did when that happened to me months back and seemed to work. Hope I helped
Hi XDA, long time lurker, first time poster.
So I rooted my droid incredible yesterday evening. Everything was dandy- I installed CM7. However, this afternoon i stopped being able to use the market application - it would require a force close - both the market app and downloader. I decided to wipe everything, reinstall, and re root and do it again. I installed CM7 again, market wouldn't work. I then did a full wipe, factory reset, cache reset, davlik reset, and installed the newest nightly build of CM7. Still couldn't download from app marketplace.
I now just installed SkyRaider 4.0. I still can't download from the google marketplace on my phone. I can, however, install from the amazon app store, and when I use google's web install interface I can install the google marketplace apps from there (this also works for appbrain).
--I can use the google marketplace and appbrain marketplace on my computer, just not on my phone --
Clearly, the default android marketplace app doesn't work on my phone (and consequently appbrain as it goes through that).
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Brian

Reboot into Clockwork recovery, there is a fix permissions options. If I remember right it is in the advanced section. Run it. It will not hurt anything it will just run script that will run through the files and fix the permission settings on them.
Fixing permissions didn't eliminate the problem.
Did you download the Google apps zip with cm and flash it too? You never mentioned that part. Might be the problem

Running on my AT&T rooted Galaxy S3:
Andriod 4.0.4
Kernel Version 3.0.8
Build: Diet ICS v7.11.12
Several weeks, no issues.
This morning I went to install 2 updates and each update said "Insufficient Storage".
I can not download any updates or new apps without getting this error.
If I uninstall an app, I can not re-install it without getting the same error "Insufficient Storage".
I have cleared the cache and data under Google play store app info
I have gone into recovery mode, cleared cache and dalvik cache.
Nothing is working.
Any help would be much appreciated
This seems to be happening a lot. Especially with custom ROMs. This used to happen to me but when I had the app installed on my sd card...

Yeah, the same happens on my NS4G but I've found that leaving the Play Store app pulling down the notification bar while it's updating and leaving the screen on helps. It sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries but it usually works eventually.

Same thing happened to me. Get root explorer, go to /app/data then look for files with the name of the app and a little orange shield on it, delete it and your good to go

It has something to do with stored ODEX file (i am not sure what it means). One solution I found is to install lucky patcher app and just open it. It will delete the unused ODEX files and you wont see the issue again.
Click on thanks if this resolves your issue!

This worked for me. Thanks.
I never found the .ODEX file, but in /data/app with ES File Explorer I found the .apk of the program and just deleted that. I then went and updated the app and it let me download and install this time. Hope that helps anyone else having this issue!
I was having similar issues with tons of apps. Eventually I just moved half of the garbage to the SD and deleted a bunch of bloatware with Titanium Backup. After a nice solid battery pull everything updates fine now.
SGH-T959V
OEM ROM with Root
2.3.6
I can't seem to get Google now to work anymore. It keeps crashing as soon as I give it a voice command.
For some reason now, it seems like my phone lost compatibility with lots of apps. I can't update top the latest versions of the apps and download apps directly through playstore app. On my laptop, the playstore site says the apps are compatible and "downloading" but I get nothing on my phone.
I ve done a clean install of the latest update and cleared data for the individual apps that I've had problems with but I'm still not seeing any changes.
Any idea what's going on here? Is this something everyone else is experiencing?
(Didn't want to post this in the Rom thread since these issues are not just about the Rom, i think)

I've been running his ROM for a long time and never experienced this issue... It might be your play store or gapps. I would download and flash his gapps again see if that fixes it.

Are you using a different dpi?

It's the gapps that you flashed.. he posted an earlier build shortly after which fixed the issue (just have to update Google Search app in the Play Store). This was posted in the OP.
I'd probably fully wipe but at least system and both caches and reflash the latest ROM and gapps posted.

I am. I changed it by editing the build.prop file. but even if i change it back to normal dpi, i still have the same issues. i just did a clean install of 5.5.13b update and still having same issues. im back at normal dpi.
is there a way to fix this?
explain clean install. i would recommend wiping data cache, dalvik, & formatting /system, /data & /media then flashing ROM/gapps. completely fresh start. what recovery do you use and what device was the version for (d2att, etc)?

clear data from play store and google services framework after reverting to stock dpi. then find a multidpi play store and flash it. then you can freely change the dpi.
[Q] JMT 6 - Anyone able to get Mobile Print out of the "Goodybag" app to install?
Edit - Meant to say Mobile Print app out of the Goodybag.
First - Great ROM. I've used the last three versions, and so far, it's been a keeper. :good:
Second - I did the usual: Flashed new version over previous version. Tried to install the app, afterwards. When it didn't install, I performed a wipe using TWRP. When that didn't work, I did a fresh install (Complete wipe using Infamous followed by a TWRP wipe then followed by an install of JMT 6).
I haven't had any other issues with this ROM. I just saw this app in PTMR's goodybag, and it would be nice if I could use it.
Actually, there is one more thing: Anyone been able to get Smart Stay to work?
You should be able to extract the Apk from the prior rom's zip and then install it on the new version. If it's one that needs to be installed as a system app, you will need to use a root explorer app to set the permissions.

The app didn't exist in the prior version. The "Goodybag" is additional apps that can be loaded after the ROM installation. Granted, a few apps were included on previous ROM versions, but Mobile Print wasn't one of them.
I've already tried the side install method to make it a system app. Checked permissions, etc. App still won't install.

Yeah that's a rough one then. Sorry to say but I've don't have any other suggestions if setting the permissions as a system app didn't work.

Oh well. I'll need to email PTMR3 about this. (Been trying to get past the 10 post minimum so I can post directly in the development threads. If it weren't for that, I could ask PTMR3 in his thread. lol.) Thanks for your input, anyway. It's appreciated.
Well, I found out that this app only works with Samsung printers and the app itself is available on the Play Store. Since I don't have a Samsung printer, I'm not going to concern myself with this, anymore.
How do we load the items in the goodybag? I downloaded 3 items and tried to load the from zip via CWM but it ended up getting my phone stuck in a boot loop. I ended up having to flash JMT all over again and start from scratch. Obviously I did something wrong. I've searched all over the forums and all I can find is something about using Aroma to install them, but the process looks confusing.
