Hello, i searched in other threads to solve my problem but I didn't find an appropriate and successful answer. First of all, I am running Cm7 on my Kindle Fire and I installed Gapps with TWRP. So, few days ago the market started to show me an error when I tried to update or install apps; it says: package file is invalid. I found some solutions, like clearing the dalvik cache or installing a new market apk, ecc. But all of these solutions are only temporary.. The problem always returns! Cab someone try to help me? I apologize for my bad English and for maybe the stupid question, I'm a noob about the android world. thanks a lot
No one?? Maybe is a noob question?
allready tried to go to applications - select market - clear cache - clear date - force close - then start market again ?
if this don't help:

I Tried both, and the problem still there. But now, maybe i found the problem. I'm in Italy, and for some apps and service i use a service that changes the DNS and lets you use static IP. In fact, when i disable static IP I'm able to download and update apps with no error. I'm not sure that the problem was this, since i always use this service with Cm7 and there was no problem in the past. I think that the problem maybe is related with dalvik cache. What you think?

I tried your suggestion re disabling the static IP and it fixed the recent problem I've been having with this "Package file is invalid" error message on my HP Touchpad. FYI I am running CM7 with XRON mod installed. Thanks very much for sharing your solution. Hopefully its fixed for good !
You're welcome! but it's quite weird, because a few days ago I was able to download apps from the market also with static IP. And I can't understand why now this is no longer possible!
When i face similar issue i follow this method,
Clear cache, Clear data, clear updates in market app and download agent. If not solve then perform factory reset. If those methods not fix, then i reinstalled your OS. now it should fix. But always try to download apps over 3G or WiFi connection. This kind of issue occur continuous download failure.
A factory reset is something that I want to avoid I tried the first method in the past and it was not completely successful. Well, in any case it's a weird thing

Thank you thank you thank you!!! This has been plaguing me for a few weeks and driving my NUTS. At my girlfriends, work and parents using wifi I had no problems, neither with 3G. But at home I had "invalid package" all the time lately. By removing the static IP it now works. Very strange because I've had the same IP on my home network for months!
But it works now thanks to your suggestion.
You're welcome! yeah, it's so strange! I don't understand what problem is under this issue!
You can reinstall your OS. Then every file replace no issue.
I tried this in my early tests without success! I think that the problem is related with my DNS service, thanks for your reply Anyway now it seems that the Market runs with no problem also with static IP activated.
How to change Ip?
Hi! I have the same issue for weeks, how do I change the DNS? Is in the router preferences? Thanks
Same problem, tried everything!
I've been having the same problem for about 2 months with my HTC Desire, and it is driving me nuts! I'm running the latest CM7, CWM, and Sibere data2SD. I've already tried clearing cache and removing data, removed market updates, and this only worked once (in about 100 times i've had the error). Reflashing CM7 works fine as long as I don't restore apps and settings with TiBackup, after which I have the same problem upon trying to install an app. Everything over 500 kb just fails, on 3G networks and on various wifi-networks, to no avail.
I have also tried the Titanium backup market helper, but it just sits there, 'processing' for hours but doing nothing. Also tried clearing the dalvik cache twice in CWM, but it only resulted in the phone hanging at the white HTC startup screen, so I had to reflash CM7.
So, does anyone have another tip I could try to get this thing to work? Because I am getting desperate and the number of available updates just keeps on growing...

Well you wont get an answer here for that question this is the kindle forums, you want the desire forum HERE, also moving to Q&A.
Hello all. Hoping someone can help me figure out why Pandora has stopped working on my N7 2013. It is fairly new, got it for Xmas. It is unlocked and rooted, but running the stock 4.3 rom (no interest in 4.4+ at this time).
Pandora was working fine at first, but when I opened it yesterday, it gave me an error, saying something like "your pandora session has timed out", and kicked me out of the app. Opened it back up, and it was stuck at the splash. Left it for several minutes, and nothing. So I force closed it, cleared it's data and cache, and reopened it, same problem. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it, same problem.
Went into recovery, cleared dalvik and cache, booted back up, reinstalled Pandora, same problem. So finally, I made a titanium backup of all my apps (no system settings), did a factory reset, restored my backed up apps, everything EXCEPT Pandora, downloaded that fresh from the play store, opened it, same problem... wtf???
Ok, fine, it wants to play hard ball... so I did another factory reset, then wiped data, cache and dalvik seperately. Booted, set up my google account, and didn't install ANYTHING, EXCEPT for Pandora.
SAME PROBLEM!!
What is going on here??? For what it's worth, Pandora still works fine on my phone (Rooted 4.3 GS4). So it's not a server outage or anything like that. This has been going on since last night.
My last ditch effort would be to restore the factory image, then unlock and reroot again but damn... what could possible be stuck so bad as to survive all that? I have not modified /system/ at all except for installing busybox and supersu.
... well... what the heck. So I flashed the factory image, and now, finally, Pandora is working again.
I can't think what the heck would have happened in /system/ or anywhere else other than /data/ that would stick through a factory reset and keep Pandora from working....
Any ideas? I really, REALLY want to avoid this happening again.
Upgrade
I have installed Pandora v5.5
I don't think it is available in the Play Store yet. It could be an issue with ART and Lollipop. Flashing a stock older image could be what works with that version.
I only see Pandora 5.4 in the Play Store.
5.5 brings a new Interface and some really cool features. You have to find it online and side load it. Probably what your problem is/was.
My FTV has been buggy lately so I decided to do uninstall a lot of my apps and upgrade to 5.0 using Rbox's latest pre-root. After installing, my montdatatoUSB function was broken. I ended up deciding to do a factory reset, but something weird happened. It rest my user account, but it didn't actually reset the FTV. I still have my old apps. Plus, the newly formatted USB drive is visible to the FTV, but when I try to move an app to the USB, it says it is unable to move it. Ugh! I knew I was hesitant to upgrade for a reason! Besides flashing a rom and doing a factory reset through the FTV settings, how can I truly wipe my FTV and actually start from scratch?
It was working well before the update
However after update 5.0.5 then only audio, no video when playing movies
Anybody experience this as well?

I am having the same issues.
I have tried clearing our cache and data, then uninstall and reinstall.
Same problem. I only had this after the last update.
Have you found a solution?
I also tried to change my resolution settings on the Fire Stick and this did not help either.
Same issue here. Haven't found a solution yet.
I found a solution!!!!!!
I had tried everything and this was the ONLY thing that worked....you ready? You may not like this but:
Reset the stick back to factory defaults.
You won't lose anything unless you had loaded custom apps on the stick through ADB.
You will only have to redownload all your apps, which will be saved in your cloud, so no need to search for them again.
Let me know if this fixes your issue. I am so happy to have all my apps working properly again. It must have been this last update that messed all my stuff up like yours and everyone else's.
Yup. Factory reset, re-activate, reload & re-activate all apps. Everything works now.

I accept thumbs up thanks for my efforts. ~
I rooted my Pixel XL last year and everything was working fine until recently. The Pixel connected to my wifi but couldn't get internet access, even though it had an IP address. I was able to verify connectivity using ADB but I needed internet to work normally, so I decided to reset my phone. I used TWRP and did a wipe with the default settings. The phone booted back up like it was a brand new phone but now when I try to enter the Developer Settings menu, I get a notification saying "Settings has stopped. Open app again". I've tried wiping multiple times, clearing the cache for the settings but nothing works. Anybody have any tips on how I can fix this?
forgot to mention I'm using stock android 8.1, and magisk for root...
fwiw, I flashed a new ROM (lineage 17) and the problem went away.
