Please describe the exact process you're following including examples of apps and filenames as well as the source(s) of these files to help us better to find a solution.

I get that error message sometimes when i try to install something from the mobile browser. I got around it by downloading the APK file on my PC, moved it to my dropbox and from my cell phone, launched the APK from the mobile dropbox and it installed right away. Give that a try.
thanks ill try that

I tried to install Gmail.apk, and decided to use Root Explorer to copy it to /system/app. I changed the permissions, rebooted, and it is indeed in the folder where I left it, but nowhere to be seen in the app drawer. It doesn´t even appear on the manage applications. I want to this to more apps, but if I can´t do to one...
I tried signing the .apk and install it: gives me a parsing error;
I tried signing a .zip file and flash through xrecovery and managed to get the file in the system/app folder, but again, nothing on the app drawer.
I tried using ADB mask, and when I try to push the app into the system, it says it couldn´t install;
I tried command line, using SDK, but doesn´t recognize "adb" command. Tried console emulator, but permission denied.
Is it me or is my mobile picking up a fight with me? Can someone help?
Why dont you just try to download it from the market and install automatically that way?

Because it doesn´t appear on my market... And I also want to install more stuff, like the new blue market from pendo, so I would like to know what to do so I can continue to install more apps like this.
There will be a reason it doesnt appear in the market for you and that will be why you cant install it
WHat rom are you running?

I´m using EWJet with custom kernel, baseband 67.
Try flashing this
Reboot and login to market, accept the agreement.
Then flash this and this in that order without rebooting inbetween

Well it seems I need to do a fresh install, since I must have done something wrong to the system files... I flashed Gapps, and ever app appears except the ones from Google (Gmail, Gtalk, etc...). Is google against me today? =)
I think I´m going to flash the rom again and before rebooting, I´ll flash Gapps, what do you think?
Sounds like a plan....
let me know how it goes
No, it didn´t work... After clean install, and flashing gapps, gmail and market disappeared... Maybe some kind of incompability between the Rom and this market?
EDIT: It still appears in the /system/app... But it refuses to appear in the app drawer.
try adding the market widget to the home screen. Long press on it and n choose android widget.
That might work.

Thanks for your effort, but it doesn´t appear the market widget. It´s like the market is only a file that is filling space in the system folder, and that doesn´t have any connection to the rest. It seems this rom isn´t compatible with other markets (which is very weird...).
Thanks for the help. If someone comes up with a soltuion to my problem, I´ll be very happy to hear it.
The only thing I can think of its that you are trying to instal 2.2 versions into a 2.1 rom.
Try finding google apps from eric will's thread about his rom.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes I remembered that too, but didn´t know there was gmail and market that were different, meaning that what works in 2.2 may not work in 2.1... If that´s the case, I better give up, since there isn´t any other verion of blue market... Oh well, green it is.
If you flash back to stock with SEUS then make backups with titanium backup you should be able to restore the 2.1 versions of gmail.
As for blue market, I think that's just for 2.2+

My Streak was working fine. It has 2.2.2 Froyo OS. Today itself I tried to install an application. The application showed Starting Installation. But the application install never happens. I am not able to install apps from the Android Market. For the same I did a factory reset and the hard reset. But nothing worked. Still facing the same issue. Please help.
Try going to settings/applications/manage applications/ scroll to and select market. Tap uninstall updates, and clear cache then give it a try.

Any way to get around carrier restrictions? both in the market and out? Example: during early netflix apk version releases posted here, I couldnt install from using the stock browser. But when I use dolphin, I was able to download/install.
Now, looking for a way to install carrier restricted apps in the android market.

Sometimes removing your SIM card and accessing the market over WiFi will allow you to see more apps in the Market.
Any app that you can DL the APK for can be loaded by checking the unknown sources box in the application settings.
Changing the fingerprint can make many more apps show up.
The stock browser may not download some file types and you have found the easiest solution - use a different browser.
I have the amazon app store installed on my Nook tablet but none of the apps will install (tried 5 different ones). I keep getting the following error message:
'The application was not able to install onto your device. Please "Archive" and then "Unarchive" the application to try again.
I obviously have allow unknown sources checked and also have a 8 GB Micro SD card installed which the Nook tablet recognizes. Any ideas on why I am getting the error message above? Thanks for any suggestions.
Are you doing App Install or Package Install? If anything, try re-installing the Amazon Appstore. Good luck
By any chance, are these apps that you bought and installed previously on another device? I had that problem with the Kindle app but not with a couple of others. I tried one or two other methods too, and finally had success getting Kindle from a free software website.
did you try resetting the nook? i didnt have the EXACT same issue but i did have issues downloading things and a simple reset fixed all of that for me. i still have things that say "this is not compatible with your device" which is crap because i sideloaded the .apks of the same apps that WERENT from the amazon store and they worked just fine.
That sounds like what happens when you use app installer rather than Package Installer.

I've just rebooted my nook Tablet to see if that fixed my problem, which is the same as the OP's except I haven't been able to install ANY .apks after setting the "allow 3rd party apps" checkbox.
Specifically, I'm trying to get mobovideo to install, also four or five other video players, and Amazon Marketplace. I can download all of these no problem, but when I click on the download it tells me it can't install and says something about trying to "Archive then Unarchive" the file and try again. Which I would try if I knew where downloaded .apks go...I did find my second Am Market download (fat fingered the install so downloaded twice) under My Downloads, but the only option I get when I touch it is "Delete".
I'm downloading all this stuff on the device. Is that my problem? Does the sideloading need to be done from a microSD?
Thanks!!!

Here is an apk of Moboplayer that I installed no problem on nook tablet.
Just ran a quick test -- While some apps won't load due to incompatibility, the couple of successful tests I did worked fine. I did do them as package installs.
This is using a sideloaded copy of the Amazon Market.
The fix was to take the micro sd card out of the Nook and delete the entire contents of the card and then reinstall the amazon app store. All apps install fine now. Strange since I deleted the contents of the card before inserting it originally. Not sure why I had to do it again...

When an app is incompatible, do you get a message like the ones we've been posting, or something more helpful?
Can anybody comment on my using a direct download rather than sideloading via microSD? Is this simply not the way to do it?
bkerk25 -- thanks, I'll give that apk a try in the morning and let ya know
I have used both sideloading and direct download with few issues at all. Some apps simply won't install right now either way. I have recieved the same error message you described a couple of times.
Sent from my BNTV250 using xda premium
It's a light error message that states the program is not compatible with my device. No details on why
Alrighty. I'm not sure what's different, but I went back to comptonsoft.com/test/ and tried downloading AppMenu. This time it worked, I was able to install it and view the "secret" options which I haven't seen since the initial attempt, and am now browsing Amazon Apps. I hadn't attempted to go back to that app since rebooting, so maybe that's what I needed to do. Also, I was habitually hitting App Installer first, then Package Installer when that failed, so I dunno, maybe that messes things up.
Anyway, thanks for this great workaround xda folken!

I'm having the same problem. I've tried:
Removing and replacing the sd card
Using a different sd card
Trying to install all kinds of different apps
Resetting the device
Reinstalling the amazon app store (actually, I get the same error when i try to install even that or Appmenu now)
Factory reset
Nothing works and it's very frustrating. I think I might try to exchange it for a new one, unless someone here has a better idea

maybe try transferring the apk's from your sd card to the system\app folder using ES file explorer or root explorer and install from there?

I rooted my nook tablet with the SnowballMod root and everything is working fine, but some of the apps in the android market are missing. I have tried editing the build.prop file and clearing the market data and cache to spoof the market, but it still wont work. does anybody have ANY ideas?
theres not some, more like a lot and thats normal cuz its happening to everyone. apps that dont appear on the market have to be downloaded as .apk files and then transferred to your nooks sd card i use drop box and es file explorer for this procedure
how would i do this? how close are the people to fixing this and being able to install custom roms? i need facebook.
sideloading if it is not working from market.

It's not technically broken. The market should not show you apps for which your device does not meet the requirements. That doesn't meet they don't work, but that you have to install them another way. After updating my phone to ICS, I had to sideload Tapatalk, since it is not "technically" compatible with ICS, even though it does work.

1) Use the web app (it's pretty good, and doesn't have any background processes)
2) Look for the thread in the App section titled "[download] Facebook, Twitter and Google+ apk"
I recently upgraded from an Android 7 phone (Moto G5) to an Android 9 phone (Moto G7). I like to back up all of my apps that I plan on using in the future, using a backup app like ML Manager, and installing them locally with a file browser, like FX. On my new phone, there are some APK backups that I can't install from a file browser; even if I actually download them though the Google Play Store, back them up, uninstall them, and then try to install that backup on the same phone, it won't work. Not every app does this, and at first, I thought it was only paid apps that were giving me problems, so I chalked it up to DRM, but a bunch of free apps won't work, either.
I've tried alternate methods of installation, too, like using a terminal emulator (see the screenshot, using the app Manual Camera as an example), and ADB on a PC, which results in an INSTALL_FAILED_VERIFICATION_FAILURE error. I've searched for this error and followed directions, like disabling Play Protect (which I never enabled on this phone, anyway), but nothing works. Is this just how Android is now? Did something change so that it's harder to install backups? I tried all of this on my wife's phone, too, which also runs Android 9, and I got the same errors. Any help would be appreciated, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

Some apps are different for noghat and pie Android
So there is no grantee that you can install all APK that you backed up on noghat for pie
Download them from Google
It should completely work
Make sure that you have free space on internal storage and when you wanna download them make sure that download arm/arm64 version

Yeah, downloading from the Play Store definitely works, I'm just curious as to why backing up an app downloaded from the Play Store won't install from the APK *on the exact same device.* I'm a stickler for keeping local backups of everything, but I'm more curious than anything at this point.

Well there is a another reason
That is some app install with APK
And other one install with APKS
which you should install them with SAI and have two or three file to install (even more)
And when you backup from apks apps it doesn't backup all files to install it again
But at play store it install automatically
