Parse error - There is a problem parsing the package - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Not sure if this the correct forum to post this. If it should not be here, let me know the correct forum.
I read on several different XDA threads of DSP managers installed in Droid, HTC desire. I followed what they did.
First off, I have a rooted vibrant running android 2.1 JI6 updated.
I unzip the zip file posted in the threads, extracted the DSP manager apk file and replaced the libaudioflinger.so file in the system/lib folder. But when I clicked install it gave me a parsing error. I tried different DSP manager apk file posted in different XDA threads and it all gave me the same parse error - "there is a problem parsing the package."
I searched XDA for causes of parsing error, one thread said that the file is corrupted. I tried 3 different DSP manager apk from different threads. it all gave me a the same parsing error. This would elliminate the cause that it is a corrupted file.
I tried installing it with a 3rd party app installer and the linda file app manager, it still gave me the same parse error.
Any ideas how to fix this? I really want to try the dsp manager apk
Thanks...

yeah Ive been getting that problem on my HTC Desire Z lately, everytime I put an apk file on my sd card, then when i disconnect my phone from the pc, go into my sd card and try to install it from there, it says that error, really is pissing me off

i THINK its a SD card issue... because when i was running a rom (forgot name) with a SD card issue i would get that problem all the time, but soon as i flashed a new one, nero, it fixed it all... idk if this is the cause for everyone, but it fixed mine. try it?

[email protected] I have a feeling that was a auto-correct issue?
I googled "problem parsing the package" and found this thread, I doubt it is a coincidence that I happen to have a vibrant.. the thread starter and I have one thing in common, we tried pulling a file out of a package(a very recently released rom). In my case, it is a youtube apk that allows you to download.. tried on my nook color and it just gives me a install not completed.
Hate digging up old threads less than I hate having someone tell me to "use the search" so here I am. Curious though since I have had this issue before with a vibrant(a different one), and on multiple roms, but I have had plenty of successes pulling out of rom packages.. is there something they've done to make it only work with the rom? I put the file in the system folder and gave it proper permissions, so I know it isn't that..

App Compability
I'm wondering if i can install some ics only apps... like chrome... is there a mod for this? because it will give gb/unofficial cm9 a parse error
I'm giving thanks to those who have a solution (eventhough it didn't work)

parsing error very easy to fix
PARSING ERROR ??? if u are swap the external to sdcard dont put the game or file that u have downloaded on sdcard or microSD always on PHONE STORAGE and INTALL THE FILE or GAME>>>>LOL

[Q] UOT Kitchen

So guys did everything and downloaded the UOT I created. When trying to install it as a zip I had an issue. When I went to install zip from sd card it showed the UOT file but when I clicked on it, it just opened up in to 4 further folders. The system and meta and all that. So then I went to install zip from internal sd card and it appeared to work however it said status 0 and installation aborted... Whats going on?
Edit: Saw the workaround where you put the binary file in the UOT Zip, did so and now I get the "Bad error."
Everything is good thanks guys
I don't have any experience with UOT kitchen, but I do know update zips. After you placed the binary in the zip, did you resign it? Not doing so may be your problem.
Resign it? Sorry Im not sure what these means, still kind of amateur? Can you explain hah

By default our recovery doesn't check if the zip is signed, so this probably isn't the problem.
Alright. I pm'd the link to my buddy so he could see if the file is okay, so ill let you guys know if its okay.

Yeah thanks guys, sorry I didnt get on to say I fixed it.. But I already installed a new UOT, and Im having another problem! lol. I installed a uot and when I did it just says installing update...and doesnt change.
My ROM does not have an update-binary.....
I have made progress though.. Seems like the battery mod was conflicting with the CRT animation.
I was able to cook a moded black status bar with some tweaks.....
Anyway to remove the "Verizon Wireless" from the stock status bar? it bleeds threw....
Also... have trouble with boot animation..... it will not flash no mater what I try.
Its located in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
the flashable zip from UOT gives an systax error.... can I just manualy delete the old bootain and copy the new one pulled from the UOT Zip?
Can I do this with a root explorer? or do I need to do ADB?
**EDIT** I was able to delete system/media/bootanimation.zip and put the new "Bios Boot" one there... boots up like an old PC... its awesom... now if I can get the status bar overlap fixxed... and icons and battery

Re-flash stock

Try using an Apk installer off the market.
You can find many different apk installers off the market. Try Easy Installer or Apk Installer.
Agreed. This thread was long dead. His main issue is that he was using a clone device. Not a real S3

[Q]

So, i have some sgs2 stock apk files, how can i install them to my custom ROM sgs2 ? if i try to install them it says "X App not installed" (sorry for bad translations)
and some say "You have allready installed same named package, which signature is in conflict with this package"
Try to rename tha apk in apk.bak and paste the new one by root explorer or similar giving sama permission
use thanks button!!
Is it an AOSP custom ROM? If it is, the frameworks are incompatible and you will never succeed.

Try this:
First you obviously need root.
1. Using any file explorer (e.g. Root Explorer, Astro, or ES File Manager) copy the apk files to /system/app directory
2. Mount the directory (Look for "Mount R/W") so that the files can be modified.
3. Change the Permission of the apk files (usually done by press-holding the file and selecting the appropriate menu selection) to rw-r--r--
4. Reboot the device
This should automatically install the apk files at the next boot.
It wont let me copy those apk's to system/app folder. and i didnt find mount r/w from any explorer. my rom is Omega's ics 4.0.4
srry for repost but i found mount r/w and i managed to copy apk's to system/app folder, now just rebooting and i will see if that works
E: It didnt install those apk's, i did just like u said :s

that's not good.
I've used this method to install stock swype and taskmanager apks to cm9 and it worked for me.
Did you update the permissions?
If you have, sorry, I can't help you further. I've read somewhere about "deodex" that may have got to do with it, which i'm not quite sure about.
I've also noticed that apks that are specifically designed for TW don't work on other ROMs.
good luck

samsung galaxy s3 keyboard re-installation

So i have finally rooted my phone through CF Auto root method, and im happy i can access anything on the phone.
first thing i wanted to do is get rid of the samsung Keyboard, as it got stuck to being default after every restart.
So got into /system/apps/samsungIME.apk and removed it. I use ES file explorer with root access.
Job done, now i have the smart keyboard pro on and happy with it
Lets say i want to reinstall the SamsungIME.apk
reinstalling it is not a go im afraid. If i try to reinstall it from my ext.Sdcard, it says installation failed
If i copy and paste it in the same folder, it says: parsing error, unable to extract or something.
So my question following quite a bit of search is : in general, when trying to reinstall samsung apps, will this occur all the time?
Do i have to do something in addition to get it to work?
i saw someone mention in a different thread (I9100 i think) about chaning something in the build prop which i couldnt find anyway, and others talking about permissions
With ESfile explorer, i havent found the 'permissions' aspect of things, as all i have to do is allow ES to enter the root explorer through SU and then i dont get any other question about allowing permsissions to save/install and application.
many thanks and please excuse me if my questions are very childish for experiences users, as this is the first time i have entered this field!

Reinstalling ANY SYSTEM APK would mean that you would have to push it to the system. Here is a YouTube video on how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJGbiSkom9M
If you are interested to download again the stock app, I have uploaded all the stock apps in mediafire. check my sig if you are interested
Many thanks. Will check asap!

Looking at the video, es file explorer does something similar, but it hasnr worked. Does this mean I have to buy the root explorer software?
Edit: I just downloaded root explorer and saved the apk according to the info. Keyboard hasn't installed though. I wonder if I have to tranfer the obex file as well
Edit 2: transfered the obex file as well, still didn't install. I can see the apk in there but its not installing.
And to finish this, I did excactly the same with the obex file and it worked. My samsung keyboard is back so again
MANY THANKS!

fix_mediaDrain.zip - HELP ME!!

HELP!!
When i was running the RGUI ROM (JB) there was a fix zip to use in CWM to fix the 'Media' drain in the battery.
This worked wonders! So i just tried to flash it to my device again, except now i'm running the 'Anonorom' ROM.
It worked. Or flashed without error anyway.
The problem now is that since the reboot, the 'Fonts' have failed to be picked by my apps.
This is most noticibly with UCCW. The widget i created for the homescreen uses about 5 different fonts and its defaulted to 1 default font.
When i open the widget to change the fonts back, it tells me theres only 1 font available; "Default" and that if i want to add more then to put them in 'sd:\fonts'.
I've gone back to my file manager and checked this location and there are LOADS of fonts in there still, so its not as if they've been deleted.
Clearly this is the work of the fix_mediaDrain.zip, which i now obviously regret flashing. And WHO KNOWS what other errors i will now encounter!
So my question is, other than reflashing the ROM (which would be a pain because i've also flashed the JKay framework and other things like that, and amanaged to get the phone to my liking) does ANYONE know of a kind of UNDO fix for this fix_mediaDrain.zip that i can flash.
Obviously i dont even know if it exists,im just praying, but if anyone has any ideas i would greatly appriociate it.
I'm guessing the media scanner has been stopped, or a .nomedia file has been placed in the fonts folder.
So first check if there is a file called .nomedia in this folder and if so, delete it and reboot.
If not, then get rescan media root from play and try to enable media scanner and reboot.
Report back please

Firstly, thanks for your reply..
I've checked the location for a '.nomedia' file and no it does not exist.
I even checked 'Root Explorer' incase the file was hiddenin my regular file manager. Still nothing.
I downloaded the 'Rescan Media Root' app, which looked successful, but didnt fix my issue.
I tried a different app called 'media Rescan Lite', but that too did not fix the issue.
It's not looking good for me is it?
well the obvious path note really is to post in the Rom thread/contact dev and find out what the file does and how it can be reverted, let me know if you don't have enough posts and I will post link to your dilemma for you

I have contacted the developer of this fix to ask what it does exactly and if theres any way to undo the fix.
I have also added a post to the thread where this fix was first suggested to me in the past, incase anyone there might be able to shed some light on it..
I will post my findings once i ear back from anyone incase anyone else ever has this problem...
Thanks again.
SOLVED!!
I have managed to fix this problem!
This is going to sound RIDICULOUS but.....
I renamed the 'Fonts' folder on my sdcard slightly.
I say 'renamed', but all i did was make the filename all lowercase, creating "fonts" instead of "Fonts".
Then, IMMEDIATLY, the fonts on my widget wer back to normal..!
How very odd that this was changed by the 'fix_mediaDrain.zip' throgh CWM + reboot.
