Hey there.
I just flashed CM7 RC2 via Clockworkmod Recovery 2.5.07 and everything worked out. (wiped Data, Cache & Dalvik).
I noticed that all of the Google Apps were missing so i rebooted the Phone. Now at least the Market showed up. After setting up my google account a prompt showed up which asked which Google Apps i want do download (via Market).
I had no Wifi COnnection so i skipped the installation. Afterwards i downloaded the newest gapps.zip from cyangogenwiki and flashed it via Recovery but the Google Apps such as Maps, Gmail etc wont show up in the App Drawer.
Any ideas?
(excuse my poor english. hope you got what i was trying to say)
hmm, i guess i got it all wrong. The gapps.zip ist just the core librarie so the market is able to work. And the mentioned prompt should be doin the rest.
for me (Germany) Gmail wont be installed so i switched back to GingerVillain 1.6
Sad that there was no reply at all...
... , as I got the same problem about 1 year and 2 weeks later.
I am writing here to this old thread because - likely - somebody else will have the problem and shall get an idea on what is causing it (and maybe find the solution here) ...
and as the forum is abused as a documentation tool and not as a communication tool and stuff is not written into the wiki (which is indeed a documentation tool...)
The actual situation is (from my maybe faulty understanding) that the GApps-Packages only contain those apps/libs which cannot be aquired by download from Google Market/Play Store.
Your and my problem is, that we are not allowed to download GMail from the Market/Play Store because of:
This item cannot be installed in your device's country

(exact quote cut out of the market's html code).
I will try to post information as I get it on how to solve this. Most likely a german Android forum will contain a solution to this obstacle.
Does anybody know what the problem is with copilot? Everytime i start it, it displays the splash screen, and that's it.. it fails to load. In the notifications it has an entry to 'Touch here to maximize copilot' but this does nothing...
It's really strange as it worked on Monday this week...??
Ok fixed it...
renamed the user.cfg file found in sdcard/copilot to user.cfg.bak, ran the software again so it had to generate a new user.cfg file and it worked.. Ok i had to enter my google checkout number and set it up again, but it did fix the problem.
I can't get mine to recognise my Google Checkout number, even after getting it reset by support

I've had a corrupted user.cfg cause startup aborts in the past as well. Took me a while to figure it out. I keep a good backup copy now, which should avoid any Google checkout and setup issues.
Hey guys,
i know you won´t like to hear that question, but I am trying to fix that issue for 2 days now but nothing works.
At first, I don´t know too much about all that stuff, but I tried to flash another ROM on my GT540 anyway. Obviously that didn´t work out to good.
The last ROM i flashed on my phone was V20B_00.kdz. I also reset it numerous times. I tried to use different usernames to log in to my google account at the phone. However, when I start the phone I get the fault
"System UIDs Inconsistent: UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable. >> I´m feeling lucky"
When I click "I´m feeling lucky" I get the next fault
"Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. >> Force close"
I get the second fault every time I try to start the Market. A market update didn´t work. I installed an alternative Market, still get the same fault. When I try to download the apps at my Laptop and put it on my SD card of the phone to install it, I get the fault
"Parse Error. There is a problem parsing the package. >> OK"
I tried to install an App to fix that first fault. I think it was ROM_Manager_5.0.0.1. But I get that Parse fault.
I might have changed the memory space for the system with one ROM that I had flashed to the phone. I am not sure about it. I have seen that this might be an issue for some system apps when the system partition would be too small.
I also updated my phone with LG Mobile Support Tool. So I flashed it, reset it, updated it, and now have no idea what do to, as I am not the biggest expert in that.
Help would be great. Thank you.
Hello my name is Sean and I have recently rooted my phone (captivate glide) and installed a custom ROM. Whenever I try to update apps like the AT&T Code Scanner, Qik Video Lite, Andoid Keyboard, or even Google Play itself I receive this error message:
"Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
Also when I run certain apps like Spot Hero or Clash of Clans I get the following message:
"Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."
I have searched the forums and found a few instances with similar problems, but the issue was either never resolved or didn't match the problem I was experiencing. I've Googled the problem and a few folks suggested using Titanium Back Up to uninstall the app in question and then re-install, but I have read some users say that they are then unable to re-install the app. I don't want to lose any functionality, so I haven't tried that.
Here is a step-by-step of what I did to my phone:
1) Shutdown my phone and rebooted into download mode with Odin 3.04 running
2) Flash CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY 6.0.1.2 (found here)
3) Reboot in download mode
4) Flash stock ICS ROM (found here)
5) Flash Superuser 3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip (following the instructions found here)
5) Flash GApps.zip for 4.0.4 (found here)
6) Reboot and the phone says it's upgrading Android and optimizing applications
7) Once the phone is booted up and the SD card is done scanning I run into the problem described above
Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so, please share your insights.
Thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions I would welcome the help.
hello
i remember i had same problem when i was using ics, i think you shoulr flash anotherics gapps from diferent source. I do not remember where i downloaded mine
I tried some different gapps and I got some apps like Hangouts to update, but now I receive this message when I try to install Google Play Services:
"Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID."
I did some further looking into this and found that if I wiped my /system data and reflashed my gapps.zipp that seems to work. I installed Youtube first (since it requires Google Play Services) and that took care of everything.
Unfortunately I have lost any progress I may have made in my game apps and have to download/update everything from scratch and reset my ring tones and such, but at least I have a fully functional, rooted phone.
Actually I take that back. Google Play Services seems to be cooperating, but now I'm getting the package file signature problem again.
I resolved the issue by starting over and following Rawr0w0's guide half way down this thread.
Hi, any chance someone could post this apk? Want to see if it works on the nexus player.
thanks!
http://www.uktvapps.com/ , although I'm not sure if it's the same version you get from the Amazon.co.uk store: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Media-Applications-Technologies-Ltd-iPlayer/dp/B009SPY7PW
yeah that is not relevant to what i am looking for at all. thanks anyway.
was hoping someone could extract the apk from their firetv. I've tried doing it myself in the past but i'm too dumb so it never worked.
I sideloaded iPlayer but it doesn't work, it wants to be connected to your Amazon account
was searching to see if this had been tried.. Bummer..
No hope of installing the amazon store ?? Tieing an amazon account.. and retrying ??

Here is the BBC Iplayer app for fire tv
Obviously if you're not in the UK you will need a vpn connected to the UK
You also need a BBC account to be able to log in

Superb.. Is that the direct one extracted from FireTV ??
I had seen some talk about nulling the Amazon calls.

Yes I extracted it
I downloaded bbc.iplayer.android_4.53.0.1-45300001_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror .com.apk from apkmirror .com, obviously, (remove the space before .com) and I use a UK vpn (ExpressVPN, I live in the US..) and it works great! (also, I made an account... duh) Just need to use a mouse, or Mouse Toggle, or Cetusplay because it's an Android TV apk, and not the Fire TV one. I'm currently trying to patch the Fire TV version TheFixItMan provided (thanks!!) to unlink it from the Amazon Appstore by installing the apk on a rooted phone of mine and using Lucky Patcher as described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/bbc-iplayer-sideloaded-app-owned-error-t3315474
I'll post a link to it if I'm successful :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the .apk file. It installs and launches without any problem but an Amazon UK account has to be linked to the application. So it doesn't work with e.g. Amazon Germany account. Maybe I should change my country to UK, download the app from Amazon appstore and try it again. Even if it works, it will probably not work any longer, as soon as I change the country to Germany.
I rebuilt the app without license verification by using Lucky Patchers. After opening the app it instantly crashes..

Try this one - I've removed the Amazon verification from it
You will still need to vpn to the UK

Thanks but your version crashes after opening the app. I have successfully installed my own rebuild. First I edited the original .apk file you provided with APK Editor. I just changed app name and package name to something different without changing the length. Then I compiled the new .apk file and removed license verification with Lucky Patchers. I can login but when I click on a show I get an error. It says "Something went wrong loading this programme. Error code 02001".

Same error message here. I have tried two different VPN services and one Smart DNS service. None of them worked. Each time the same error message. The only iPlayer on the Firestick that will 'work', is the web version. Not the most convenient way to get to whatever you want to watch, but it's doable. Download Firefox for Firestick, sign up for a BBC account, start your VPN and you're good to go. It still would be so much more convenient if there would be a working app on the Firestick. Is anybody still working on this, by any chance? Thanks!
In my case the "normal" Android Version works on the Fire TV Box 1st Gen. As mentioned by another user before, u have to use a mouse or in my case a bluetooth keyboard with trackpad to navigate around. But it's much stabler than the workaround with firefox and the web version.
I have a fire stick 2nd generation. I will try your option and see if that works better. May I ask where you got that app from?
Thanks!

Go back one page and read what I wrote! (What I wrote was apkmirror...)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77310494&postcount=9
*THIS WORKS* I just checked to make sure, and yes, you can use the newest regular Android (phone and tablet) version of BBC Iplayer currently available on your FireTV, bbc.iplayer.android_4.56.2.2-45620002_minAPI16.apk as of today. The one I mentioned on the first page is outdated now. Just search for it on apkmirror. Remember, you will need to use a UK VPN service (I use Express VPN, and East London location) and a mouse or mouse emulator app (Mouse Toggle or CetusPlay) you may also need an app that controls screen orientation... I can't remember if you need it or not for Iplayer, but I use Set Orientation v1.1.4 all the time. Good luck.
Now go smoke me a kipper!

This worked perfectly for me, thank you very much.
Would you be kind enough to share the process/program you used for renaming? I would like to do the same thing for the ITV hub, and if it isn't too difficult, learn to do it myself.
Thank You

Actually there isn't much to know about APK Editor. It is an app to modify package name, app name etc... You can follow this tutorial on Youtube.
new app store version required

Thank You - I'm still bashing my head against a wall with this after trying for nearly a week now....
I've tried renaming with APK edit and also with APK tool and every time I put my edited APK's on the Fire TV I get error: new app store version required.
Your modified APK works great so I know it is something I am either doing or not doing but I'm at a loss.
I've also tried using lucky patcher on files from APKedit and APKtool but it doesn't change the error, I've tried resigning in APKtool, I've tried both Full and 'Common' methods in APKedit. I've also tried putting my modified APK's on both gen 2 and 4k versions of both Fire Sticks and Fire TV's but I get the same error on everything. Your modified APK works perfectly on all devices. I have also tried this on different APK's including originals from ITV, All4, my5 and BBC.
Any suggestions for what I maybe doing wrong or what I can try?
Thank You very much in advance.
