I consider myself to be somewhat intelligent, mostly when it comes to being able to read, write, and search for things on the internet. I have searched these forums and others and only found two references to this question with no answers. Forgive me if my self inflated ego of being able to find answers online is misplaced.
When I try to install the Google services framework (googleservicesframework.apk) on my kindle fire I get the message "application not installed". What am I doing wrong? How do I install this? I am trying to install google apps, namely gmail. After I got the "application not installed" I did reset the device and install the gmail.apk but to no avail, the app would not even open.
I am running 6.2.2 and have recently rooted my kindle and have superuser access. I understand that root is not necessary to install google services framework but I did it nonetheless in hopes that it would help (which it has not).
I know others have had this problem, but I have not found any advice anywhere on this, please help!!! Thanks!
if you'r rooted and put the googleservicesframework.apk in /system/app then there is no need to install it (yes it will fail) - just restart the kf - you'll see it running ...
Thanks for the response! After pasting the googleservicesframework.apk to /system/app and restarting I do not see the application under "running applications", in fact I didnt even see it under "all applications". I know you said there was no need to install the app, but after I didnt see it running I tried to install it anyway then reset, it didnt help.
Its probably good to mention that ive tried this with multiple apks, ive read that there are different ones although I cant seem to tell which ones are different.
Any other advice??
This is the .apk I used on both my KF and my wife's KF. In fact I just installed it on hers last night. Hopefully it works for you.
It Worked!! It must have just been the difference in the apk. Thanks so much for the help guys!
Argh. Sorry all, having searched everywhere and found this thread I did what you said and STILL get Application Not Installed.
Can anyone offer me advice? Much appreciated if so.
look at post #2 !
This worked for me also
Thanks. I was having the same problem with my Kindle and this version worked for me also.

Thank you so much! I had a link to an older apk that did not work correctly. With that apk and "Any Cut", I was able to create a shortcut to "Accounts and sync" to get my gmail contacts and mail syncing properly.

Hello,
the link you provided is not an APK file. Rather, it is a ZIP file.

When You move it to the kindle rename the File with a File explorer. Just remove the .zip extension and replace it with .apk. It should then install properly....Mine did.

Yeah, it is simple. Take your Kindle and smash it with a hammer and go by a Nook. Seriously this thing is the biggest pain in the A$$. I have got it to work only to have it shut down and not recognize the framework again. My Nook was so much easier to root and the Nexus 7 is even better, you don't have to root it.
**** Kindle and Nook to a lesser extent.
Ichigo,
The problem is when the framework is not working the Google Play Store crashes. None of my Android phones, my nook, or my nexus ever had such difficulty. The Nexus was nice because it didn't need any root.
Ichigo said:
Did you read the spoiler?
Anyways, that would be an OS problem. You could always just install a different ROM. Besides, I was on stock and had the framework work fine. As long as you have the current version and had the permissions set to rw-r-r, it should work.

Yes, I read the spoiler.
No, I installed several different roms on both CM and TEAMWIN attempting every combination I could think of. Nothing seemed to work. Finally I gave it to my little girl as a reader and installed all the apps with APK files because I couldn't get the play store to not crash. My wife was ready to kill me I was wasting so much time with the thing. It was a free Kindle, so it wasn't that big of a deal.At least now my daughter can't go on and download any app she wants, I have control over that.

Does anyone have the Pocket Legends APK released yesterday?
I would be so very thankful if someone could supply me with it since it is the only bloody app that refuses to download from the market.
having the same problems on my phone as well.
had my mate next to be download and install it but weirdly the apk doesnt exist in data\app or system\app....
but +1 i want the apk too
Can't he do a search for the .apk?
yeah we searched for pocket* using root explorer with no results. Unless you know what its called..
Get him to uninstall it, get the application installation tracker, reinstall and it should say shouldn't it?
he tried to uninstall it and it made his launcher crash. now it doesnt show up in his app drawer after he rebooted his phone. he went to market to uninstall there and now it will only download but not install. It just hangs at the installing status.
hes not too happy anymore haha...
This apk is impossible to find, even apps like apkshare won't find a trace of it.
Scratch that, I got it

Mine failed first attempt to download from the Market, second time went fine. Awesome game

nice!! thanks mate!
I'm still having issues with this. I've downloaded it to my Evo using Myn's rom, wont install. Donwloaded the apk from here, still wont install.. flashed CM6 and still no luck. Is it not compatible with the Evo or something?
It originally installs on the SD card, and is 40(!)MB, so make sure you have space.
Mine also installed 2nd time from the market, and it's fun to play! I'm happy to see and MMO finally on android, I was craving for one! A bad point is, that it seems you have to pay a lot of extra to buy +dungeons, items, etc. No good....
Really nice with BT Mouse and TV-Out this one!

1.5.1 is on market but problem with download still here ( plz can anybody upload it somwhere?
:/
I have the same problem
I dont understand, what is so special on this aplication, that its not possible download it from repository of market. Other applications are downloading correctly.
When I press install, It seems that it will start downloading, but after few seconds apears download bar, where is nothing happening. I am user of Desire with Leedroid froyo rom. I tried clean market and download manager data, but problem is still there.
Do you have any idea how to resolve it?
Meantime can someone upload .apk file of version 1.5.1?
Thanks and sorry for my english.
Ah yes, the game has been updated (to 1.5.1), the earlier APK is not usable any more. And for me it appears to actually download it, just not install it.
same to me...can't install the game from the market .
and i have the earlier apk version
Thanks for the download link!
I have the option checked to install non market apps, but if I download wifi tether, for instance, from the dev's website, my phone will not even let me click on "install," though I can hit "cancel." I've tried this with a free other apks, such a Swype, volume+, etc. Some allow me to hit install and some do not.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions? Btw, rooted gnex, stock 4.0.2, vzw.

First, I want to thank you for posting your question in the appropriate place. By chance, are you running JuiceDefender? If so, there is a bug that sometimes does not allow a user to install non-market applications without a workaround (you will find it in settings when configuring JuiceDefender). If you're not running JuiceDefender, then I am not sure, sorry .
bennettm89 said:

I'm not. And since my original post, while my phone was laying on the couch, something changed and now I'm able to install those apks I've downloaded. Someone at AndroidForums suggested I side-load apks from my computer, but my only means of wifi is from my phone and wifi-tether was one of those apks that wouldn't install, until just an hour ago. I've had this issue rooted, unrooted, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and it seems to come and go.
It seems no one else is posting about it anywhere that I can find, so if nothing else I wanted others to know that it is happening.

I don't know the cause. I have noticed that it has happened on different devices, there have been assumptions if it's because of a specific kernel or rom, although it may be, I beg to differ. I feel it is happening during the Android Upgrading Apps # of # process.
I noticed that this error pops up on most of the apps that I had installed, but are not there after my update. So far with me, it happened only to my paid apps, but not all of them.
When the app disappears, android thinks it's missing, but some files think it is still installed.
Regularly when you install an app over itself, there is a notice telling you that the application info will remain. That's where the problem lies once an app mysteriously disappears. Because part of it is still installed.
Go to
/data/data/
and search for your
com.application-address.whatever-it-may-be
Some of them you can tell what they are just by the names, the others, google-em.
If you wish to keep the information that it contains for the app, I recommend making a copy of it first.:good:
Delete it
Install the application, it'll work, trust me. :fingers-crossed:
Now replace it with your copy.
Done.
Stop factoring resetting if you don't want to. Of course, if you have a lot missing, it might be better. :crying:
If someone can automate this process by making something check the com.address to installed apps, that would be awesome. :highfive:
This totally worked. Thanks bro!
I was setting up my Nexus 4, and this was Tune In Radio Pro was the last app and wouldn't install, I kept getting that stupid -24 error.
Saved me from doing a factory reset!
Works!

I'm also stuck. I was able to go to sdcard/data, but there is no second /data folder.
I have this issue with Swiftkey and there is no 'data/data/' folder, checked both root and sdcard and hidden files are shown ...
Edit: Configured ES File Explorer to mount partition as writable and gave root access -> files were there now and deleting the one with Swiftkey solved my problem.
Thx

You need to use something like ES File Browser with Root access to get to /Data/Data
I'm running into this issue with a bunch of apps that got lost when flashing a newer CM10.1 nightly. I can't access those folders in data/data since ES File Manager is one of the apps that gets this error!
Is there any other way to fix this? I can't install anything, not even Chrome :crying:
It's worked for me, too!
Someone maybe didn't understand the meaning of the thread creater. You must have the root access. Then, open Root Explore and go to "data/data" NOT "sdcard/data/data"

In case it might help someone else I thought I'd pass along what I just did to fix the problem. I booted into recovery and found the com.speed.... file for root explorer that way and deleted it and then rebooted. I then was able to load and install root explorer from the play store and now I can sit back and delete all the rest of the apps that won't install correctly...
I guess I could have done it from recovery also but I forgot to write them all down before I rebooted!

Worked Like a Charm Thank you for you help
can't find data
used es file explorer with root access can't find data/data
So I'm an idiot and uninstalled google play on my device because I was having problems with it and thought uninstalling and reinstalling would solve it. Wrong! I've since hard rest my device and back to factory, unsure if still rooted and having trouble finding the exact method I used. The first I know was with odin and still have the files for. The second was very quick and very easy and so long ago that I'm not sure if I bookmarked. Any way so here's my question how do I just get to start all over. I only backed up the important things and don't care if I have do things the long way at this point. I want google play back on my phone and when I reset it it didn't come up. I tried looking around a bit but having trouble finding exactly what I need. Any help or pointing in to the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
You could always Odin .tar restore it to factory and have everything (including internal) wiped, or you could just download the Gapps. Package for your device and extract the play store apk from it and push it to system.

Kiddo is finally knocked so I'm able to have a moment to do this. I downloaded the Gapp for 4.1.2. I'm unsure which is the apk for the google play store. This is a list of apps that are on there. Unsure if it is the Google services framework or another one. Thanks again for any help.

The way I Do it is to extract out the apks. into a folder on my SD card. Name it like "Gapps" or something easy to remember. After that use a file explorer and give it root permissions. Copy all the apps and go to >System and paste them. There are other ways of doing it. You could just install every single app or there is adb codes. Use whichever is easiest for you.
-Whiplashh
If it's just the playstore u want...it's. phonesky.apk. I would use something like root browser to move to system/app and then change permission to rw-r-r. After that reboot ur phone and you should have the playstore again! You can do the same with what whiplash had suggested to move all of them. Just make sure u reboot after pushing.
http://i.imgur.com/qrByUGN.jpg
THANK YOU!!!
Was finally able to get the Play store back! I took the phonesky.apk and stuck it into a folder on my sd card. I kept just dropping it into system and that wouldn't work and I reread the two comments and then stuck the apk into system/apps. Rebooted and all set. Thank you both I have been lost without my phone the last few days.
Almost fixed
So now that I have the Google Play store back it only works for a short period of time till I get a 491 error while attempting to download or update anything. I force stop, clear cache and restart device but this seems to only be a bandaid as after about five minutes I get the error again. I also tried editing the account info as well. Is there a permanent fix? Thank you.

Hi,
I was screwing around the other day and without realising, deleted the Phone app
When I restarted my phone, I got into a bootloop (it went from the SAMSUNG animation to the 'Optimizing apps' screen, and back to the SAMSUNG animation)
I tried installing an old one that I found on APKMirror, which booted, but 'com.android.phone' keeps crashing and I can't do anything!
So is anybody able to upload the original Phone APK from their phone? I've got an A3, but I'm sure one from an A5/7 would work the same.
If anybody could, they'd be a lifesaver!
TIA,
Ben

Well the euphoria was short lived. I installed it by putting it in /system/app and doing 'chmod 644' on it, but it still keeps crashing and I still have no SIM card...
Does it need to be installed somewhere special? priv-app?

I used SD-Maid to export the apk. Don't know it's original location.
I think /system/priv-app/TeleService/ but maybe you should reflash stock again. Just freeze apps (first few days) instead of deleting them to prefent mayor issues like this. I'm sorry.
