ok, so I'm retarded...
I'm runnin' Prophecy 4.4, and the HC Dreams theme. I noticed the lockscreen was HTC style and not Vanilla with the HC Dreams theme, so since I prefer the HTC Clock over the Android clock (love the timer and stopwatch) I deleted the Androidclock.apk. When trying to install the HTCclock.apk, I get the error: application not installed. I tried changing permissions to no avail, and now it seems I'm screwed. I'd LOVE it if someone could tell me how to get the HTC clock installed, but if there is no way, and someone can pull the androidclock.apk for me, or has it lyin' around, I'd appreciate that as well.
Thanks for takin' the time to look!

Try Pushing THIS & THIS into your /system/app folder via adb. Or use rootexplorer to copy them there. Also if you want your androidclock.apk back instead of the htc i posted then open your prophecy rom.zip file and goto system/app/ folder and find the androidclock.apk and extract it and install.
Thank you SOOO much for your help! Unfortunately, I settle same "application not installed" error. Gonna have to install Android's clock from the ROM as you suggested. I'm still curious, though... want to figure out what's keeping system apk from installing.
THANKS AGAIN! I REALLY appreciate the attempt!
Update: Gonna have to reflash and start from scratch. Can't install the Android clock apk either...

Lol. Could have posted in my thread or PM'd me, bro. I could have helped you as soon as I got the notification.
Something you should know about how my rom works...
The HtcClockWidget.apk is modified to open the AOSP DeskClock.apk instead of the WorldClock.apk that is no longer there. The AOSP DeskClock.apk is used because without having the HTC Lockscreen, the alarms won't work right. You won't be able to turn them off. Because I use JsChiSurf's Vanilla LockScreen Mod, I have to use the AOSP DeskClock. If you want to basically use the HTC DeskClock, you need to push the 3 attached APKs to /system/app. You'll no longer be able to use the Vanilla Locks until you remove the HtcLockScreen, put the AOSP DeskClock and the modified HtcClockWidget back.
To do this...
1. Download the 3 attached APK files...
2. Open up CMD and point it to where the APK files have been downloaded. ADB should work in whatever directory you're in because of it being in your %PATH% environment variable
3. Type: adb remount
4. Type: adb push WorldClock.apk /system/app
5. Type: adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app
6. Type: adb push HtcLockscreen.apk /system/app
7. Type: adb shell
8. Type: cd system/app
9. Type: rm DeskClock.apk
10. Type: reboot
Hi there, i tried pushing the 3 apk´s but when i run the clock app it force closes( with error msg "The application clock (process com.htc.android.worldclock)has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again ) : ( any idea?

Try fixing permissions. In Amon Ra, you can "fix apk uid mismatches". You can also fix permissions through Rom Manager.
And just to clear something up...
When you copy the apks to /system/app using Root Explorer, you don't then click on them to install - they won't install through the normal installer regardless of where they are. Just move them, then long-press and choose "permissions" from the menu. Change the permissions to rw-r--r--. To elaborate, the first line should have read and write checked and the last two lines should have only read checked. Then reboot and the apps will be installed.
I'm just letting you know for future reference, but using adb is a great learning experience. I just wanted to clear up why it didn't work.

Hi.
I have some apps i want to install.
I have uninstalled the weather app along with the weatherSyncProvider and WeatherProvider.
So all the posts say "copy to system/app, clear dalvik-cahce, and reboot" to install a system app.
But thats not working. So after rebooting, i went into Root Explorer and installed the Weather app. It installed successfully.
On the other hand, the WeatherSyncProvider and WeatherProvider app didnt install giving the "Application not installed" message.
I tried using adb to install it, and it gave me an error (forgot what the error said exactly) but it gave the meaning that the error was got to do with the sharedID
which is com.htc.uid.rosie. I've tired way too much, but cant get it to install.
Do i have to change anything in the AndroidManifest.xml file?
---- OH and same thing happens to HtcMusic.apk, but this gives the DEXOPT error, and the .apk had no .dex file but has a .odex file and im running a stock 2.3.3 rooted odex ROM
Root is not enough to make persistant changes to the system directory, you need S-OFF.
Oh and you should use a deodexed ROM, it will save you the hassle of deleting the odex files.
yea, i have radio and eng s-off.
i've been to many posts, read MANY solutions, but none work.
I like the odex ROMs, mostly because its more stock'ish' and i like the challenge! , but as you can see i've hit a little bump with the error that adb is giving me (DEXOPT and SHARED ID).
And if you could please...
When i get an app that is DEXed, will using the 'dexopt-wrapper' command always work to make a .odex file? -- because i used it with the sense 3.0 lockscreen and it worked but with
com.htc.framework.jar (in /system/framework/)
it didnt. -- it wouldnt even load the bootanimation, just hanged on the HTC splash screen.
Could you tell me the importance of the com.htc.framework.jar file?
Sorry if its too much questions! ... any help would be greatly appreciated!
A similar issue happened to me just a few days back. While trying to apply a Rosie patch, i just used Root Explorer to copy the new apk to /data/app_s, but for some reason that did not work.
So i then tried pushing the apk via adb, and it worked. I'm not really sure what difference this makes, but it seemed to work for me.
So maybe you could give this a try. Instead of copy-pasting, try to do a push.
i've tried both ... still not working
When Amazon updated to 6.3 my Kindle Fire had to be rooted again. This time, although I have the Google Play Store app, when I launch it, the following message appears: "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?" When either Yes or No is selected, the app force closes.
Tried unrooting and re-rooting, rebooting, but nothing works.
Hope someone out there can help, please.

Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk and this should stop happening. You can extract it from the GB (GingerBread) GoogleApps zip file. I always put that .apk into /system/app, but that may not be necessary (not sure on that). Just try installing the gsf apk and see if it works -- I personally would also reinstall the market at this point (Vending.apk). If this doesn't work, you will probably have to get into adb and push the .apks to /system/app while in recovery. Then, you can work your way to them with a file explorer that can get into root (ES File Explorer works) and install both .apks by simply tapping them.
Kindle Fire and Google Play Store
Thank you very much for your response. Will try and let you know if I was successful.
This worked!! I have a different problem now where my Kindle cannot connect to the Tootle server.
The error response is that my phone is not provisioned for data services.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again.
Sorry - autocorrect...should be Google server
i would recommend flashing modacos rom if you want a smooth bugless stock amazon experience.. not trying to be an ad, but just saying.
It seems to have been a server problem. I was able to log in and use Google Play Store.
Many many thanks for your help, tedr108!!
UPDATE - After I tried to download an app, I received the following message: "The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." and force closes.
I tried rebooting as well as uninstalling/reinstalling the Play Store, but no change.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Same error here... what am I doing wrong?
Me too! I thinks it's a GoogleServicesFramework.apk version issue.
Can anyone advise what gapps version to use?
Google Play force closes, Google Framework won't install
I've rooted my Kindle Fire running version 6.3. It's running the stock OS. I used the Kindle Fire Utility version 0.9.5. It rooted and loaded TWRP but was unable to push the google apps (extras) as 'permission denied'. So I installed rootbrowser.apk. It works with superuser privileges. I downloaded GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending 3.5.16.apk and then with Windows Explorer I dragged them into the /sdcard/Download directory. With rootbrowser I copied them over into /system/app. I tried to install the google apps. Google Play installs but crashes. GoogleServicesFramework.apk will not install. Using Rootbrowser, I was not able to delete the GoogleServicesFramework.apk. I booted the Kindle Fire into recovery mode, mounted /system, then used ADB to push the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and the Vending 3.5.16.apk into /system/app. The files were successfully copied into /system/app. I rebooted the Kindle, using rootbrowser I installed Google Play (Vending 3.5.16.apk) but GoogleServicesFramework just shows "Application Not Installed". When I launch Google Play I'm prompted to add my account info on the device to continue. When i select "Yes", it closes and I'm unable to get past this point. I have the "Go Launcher EX" installed. I also went into recovery with TWRP and fixed permissions. Still nothing worked.
I've watched the NOOB video, and read Kindle Fire For Beginners and a whole bunch of other stuff. I've scoured the posts but though i've tried everything that everyone else has done in order to get Framework installed and Google Play to work, I cannot get passed this point. I'm now 4 days into the process of 'rooting' this device. Like I said, it's rooted, but not completely functional with the desired apps.
Does someone have anymore ideas on how to get GoogleServicesFramework.apk to install and Vending 3.5.16.apk to work after it's installed?
Thanks!!!

What are your "GoogleServicesFramework.apk" permissions set to?
The GoogleServicesFramework.apk installed in /syste/app/ is 777 (for owner, group and others), i.e., rwx for all three users.
---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------
Well, 4 days and running into roadblocks. I was probably chasing my tail. However, when the nice guy that posted a reply asked "what were the permissions of googleservicesframework, and I checked that they were 777, I decided that maybe..., just maybe, I had a bad .apk. All of the .apks that were in the folder were 644. So I downloaded a new version of googleservicesframework.apk from media source fire (the one that I had was from a link posted previously.) I noticed that most of the .apk files were around 600 kb. The one that I had downloaded previously was about 2mb.
After copying over the small .apk into /system/app, my google play started working perfectly! I'm VERY sorry for being a NOOB! However, thank you all at xda for being here for all of us! Keep up the good work!!
montoyat, please share the link with us for the GoogleServicesFramework version that's working for you. I'm having issues too, and have been through over 10 gapps and different apk files. going nuts here!
thanks

Since it was Android, it should works. Ok, my device isn't the same, but problem is. I only follow the instructions from this post & it worked. :laugh:

Is your permission set the same like the above post ?
I've spent hours upon hours working on this phone, and i've tried basically every solution I could find:
Below I'll type a more detailed list of troubleshooting i've tried but currently my main issue is that I deleted my systems.apk file, after trying a recovery none of the files in my system/app folder are actually installed and if i try to install them it tells me I can't because they aren't market apps, but because I have no settings menu I can't allow non market apps to be installed. If I can find a way to install non-market apps without selecting the option from the settings menu I might be able to solve this issue.
More information:
This is an "old" phone that i recently turned on to used and found it was full of bloatware, adware apps so I rooted to delete some of it and it seems in the process I managed to delete the settings.apk file. I installed CWM & rom manager, tried to run a recovery through that (Can not run a factory reset because i have no settings menu and the hard reset does not work) and when I booted up my phone, I kept getting an error message that vzw setup wizard stopped unexpectedly, the only option was force close and as soon as I hit it it would come back up. eventually someone texted me and I realized when I had a notification and plugged in my phone I could get to the text message-through the text message menu I added my gmail account, and emailed myself the google play store URL and was able to gain access to the store. Using the store I installed Go Lancher EX and then had an (almost) functioning phone- I have to be careful not to back out of Go launcher or I'll have to send myself an email so I can get back into the store and finally back into go launcher. I had my boyfriend send me the settings.apk file from his phone, and could not copy it into settings/apps because it was read-only, so i tried downloading an app that would allow me to change permissions and realized it would not install any .apk files. I then started selecting some of the apps already in system/apps and none of them are installed- It will not let me install them because they are not technically market apps.
Other things I tried:
SUES: Tells me my phone is up to date and will not do anything more.
PC companion: Tells me there is no software available for my device.
Android commander: Gets stuck on "loading" and won't actually start up.
Flash tool: Tried two different stock ROMS, always gives me this error message: "Sin header verification failed" (Yes, I selected the option to not do a final verification"
How can I force my phone to install the system apps ?

Look for a developer who can make a flashable zip including system.apk and setting.apk for you, then flash it from CWM.

I tried flashing two .ftf files, flashtools gives me the "sin header verification failed" error message. I'm unfamiliar with flashable zips- will that get around my flashtools problem? Should I send you just settings.apk and systemUI.apk?
Thank you !
Edit:
I've done some reading about flashable zips and it seems pretty promising, thank you!
I've attatched a zip file with systemui.apk from my phone and settings.apk from my boyfriends phone- he doesn't have an xperia play, if that makes a difference.
Also, I don't know how much of an effect this would have with flash tools but because I can't get into my settings, I also can't turn on USB debugging.

I had a Galaxy S2 and upgraded too Galaxy S3 two wks ago. I liked the sytem clock on the S2 that was on the home screen. I have found available to download in the .apk format but when i try to install it, it says "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed" so google how to change signatures and started getting over my head. Has anyone found an S2 digitalclock.apk that will work on the S3 and just download and install over the clock.apk on the S3

i am having the same issue. all that i have learned from research is that you have to delete the origional digital clock apk, and you have to check in system settings "allow installation of unknown apps" option, but i have done so and it still says "x Application not installed".
i dont know what else to try. i could also use the help.

Some apk file will not install at all unless they are placed into the /system/app folder & then you need to use a good explorer or adb shell to chmod & chown the file with correct permissions & group/owner data.
Other apks will not install period, especially if they require resources or framework that is not in the existing rom, or if they rely on a different bootclasspath. That is where XDAutoTool & build working comes in to play. It extracts the necessary lib or resource files & integrates part of the required framework into the rebuilt apk.
