if any have you experiencing
com.google.process.gapps force close error
i have found the way to resolve it
i have attached apps copy them to sdcard and to system/app folder using 644 permissions use root explorer (root required)
and reboot
market, sync, youtube, and many more problems are solved
I was having this issue.. but after a reflash from SEUS it was sorted..
your way sounds much easier.. I had to re-install all my apps again.. root the phone.. delete horrible SE apps etc etc.. took fricken hours! (just because that error seemed to be stopping Market working Grrrrrrrrr!!)
any idea what this gapps app is and what it does? I don't remember deleting it (I generally just get rid of games, user guides etc.. safe stuff, so I was really confused when the error suddenly started popping up)
Cheers for the file tho (I have a copy safely stashed away now for next time!)
the problem i have found is that deleting googleapp.apk and google settings provider. when you do this all other google related apk's malfunction that's where the error comes up

This method was difficult to me, because i did hard reset and i dont have any program(z4root and Astro) and i dont know how install from sd because my Market didnt work.
My one way was repair from Companion

The easiest way around this is (to install a file manager without market).. either use a laptop with BT or find a friend with a bluetooth capable phone and a file manager like astro, stick the file on the laptop/their phone and send it to your phone over BT, once its copied across go to the task bar and select the file and install it. couldn't be easier..
Google talk missing mate ..cud u link me to the apk or upload it?
Thanks
I recommend you not to touch any google.apk's, you can delete googlesearch.apk, enhancedgooglesearch.apk and search.apk, rest of .apk's that have google in its name leave it alone. Also, Setupwizard (or whatever its called (Setup wiz that starts when you first boot your phone or change sim card) is closely related to google.apks and market login, so i recommend you to leave it alone to.
When i deleted it, i was unable to log on my market (when i start marked i only get force close error and my market crashes and i was unable to login to my google acc to do the synh.
Thanks a lot, i wasn't able to copy them directly to the specified folder (i don't have root explorer), but copying the apk to SD and installing them from there seems to solve the error.

for setup wizard, I have deleted it and I can access market without problem.
but, I do sign in into market first before I delete it.
I copied the files to SD and then I installed every single one of them... It worked!
But only to remove the FC message... Still couldnt use Marked... So I reflashed it and recovered with Titanium... 15 mins and I was up n running again...
Thanks dude!!! After days of searching for a solution I downloaded and copied to system\app your pack and it worked.
Now I wonder why these android phones start doing funny things when you try to delete the Google stuff. Maybe that "don't be evil" policy is a thing of the past.
Hi , I downloaded the apps.rar to my phone but it can't extract or install..
it claims the file is empty , even though the filesize says 1,95 MB. Very strange..
I get the com.google.process.gapps error when opening Gmail app.
anyone?

@ The Andropirate... You sir are my new hero for the day anyway! I rooted my phone and my buddies and had this horrid error and market freeze for a couple days now with all kinds of bogus advice on how to fix it.
This IS how to fix the problem!
One thing that was not clear to me was copying the files in root explorer which I did do but it didn't seem to make a difference so I installed the files through root explorer from the SD card and that worked. I then simply installed the files from my friends SD card on his phone without the copy process and that worked. I do not think there is a need to copy the files to system/app. Simply extract to SD and install from there through root explorer.
This fix worked on Alcatel PT-980a and a Motorola Citrus
Im a bit of a n00b and when i rooted my x10 mini i went crazy uninstalling everything. Big thanks! I just copied all the apps to my sd card and installed them using root explorer. All fine now after many panicky hours!
By the way.... if you dont have any apps you need and you have this problem, download them from 4shared.com (when searching type the app name all one word followed by .apk e.g. rootexplorer.apk) and transfer to sd card... easy!

I have an Acer S100 A1 running official Eclair 2.1
Made a factory reset thinking that it would solve this gapps problem...
But no, it still pops up each time after I reboot and market is not working...
No file manager comes with the phone...

Hi!
I bought an x10 a week ago and have been trying various roms on it and it's fun.
I have a market problem with 2.1 roms modded or default and I have tried everything including formatting sd card and using xrecovery to format sys etc...
I cannot download apps from the market on any 2,1 roms only 2.2 and above work fine.
I see in all the 2.1 roms that the market has the history of downloaded apps but won't install them either so I would like to use root explorer and delete the market directory and hope to resolve this problem.
I have tried some 2.2 roms but I would like to use a 2.1 rom with working cam and find some cool themes but 2.1 roms are useless to me without market downloads.
please help if you know where the root directory of the market files are.
Thanks for your help
BTW I been to the website for a long time and got into phone mods on an old htc touch and thank the website and mods for hosting this great place.
Try using titanium backup, go market in the list and wipe data.
Also go to system, applications, manage application, find the market and uninstall updates.
Maybe that could help.....solves any issue i have had with the market.

Hi Mr Patchy Patch,
Thanks for your reply. Titanium backup did not work and I just used the program to wipe data and uninstall the market as suggested. (cool tip)
In xrecovery I also wiped all the choices available as well as went into the partition options and wiped everything I could there.
I have reset all phone data inside the phone and reset to factory settings in the phone with no luck. Uninstalled updates no luck
I have also used flashtool to install a generic rom with no luck in the spp installer.
I have also used sony pc suite to repair the phone and still I see I have downloads in my downloads in the market and they never complete when trying to install anything.
I am at a complete loss as to why I cannot install apps from the market on any 2.1 rom.
App installs work fine from 2.2 and up.
Any more ideas?
Cheers
Try deleting android and .android_secure folder of you sd card but make sure to copy those to a pc first.
Thanks for your reply,
I deleted the directories on SD card as recommended then went to xrecovery and wiped everything and installed factory x10 2.1 rom and setup connection and the market downloads still show the files I tried to download before and nothing will install in the app market.
Does anyone know of a 2.2 froyo rom that has everything working and some good menus?
2.3 with working cam etc??
I have no luck with phones
Maybe you can just go to your google market account and change your linked phone in the market that may be it.
Or uninstall market with manage application and use root manager clean all reference's to market
and reboot then reinstall market.apk. an sign in.
Make sure you have the market apk first.
Hi!
I tried root manager great program but no luck.
I wiped and uninstalled the vender and market update and changed my google id and no luck...
installing a generic rom either from xrecover or from the flashtool and the app downloads get stuck and never finish.
It appears I no longer have the download history on the new account with the old downloads and I guess I surrender.
I have no idea why I cannot download apps from the market on any 2.1 roms modded or generic.
Weird as hell
try opening your google talk app?

I have the same problem I've been stuck in this situation for a couple of days now and I've been searching the whole X10 forum for a solution. I've flashed to multiple 2.1 and 2.2 roms but the problem is still there. Seems like the download is running on the notification bar and in the market but nothing's happening at all. I even took out my SD card and it's still downloading. The Market.apk isn't eve listed on my phone when I want to clear the cache and uninstall the updates. I have no clue how this happened and I'm desperate to find a solution
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

I'm trying to download Sports Car Challenge and am getting the same problems.
First it was insufficient storage space, so I rebooted, same problem. Then I unmounted sdcard, app cannot be installed in default location, so I remounted sdcard now I get package file invalid.

I've tried clearing cache of google play store but no difference.
I am running standard XWLPG firmware with CF-root.
Solved. Sort of.
I've spent two days prowling the web searching for solutions for the "package file invalid" error. My problem was that maps would not restore from a backup or install from the market. I did one of everything in an attempt to solve it, I'm pretty sure. Since it looks like the cache is simply jammed up, preventing the install of large Google apps, I used a Titanium Backup filter to list all my apps that reside on the phone rather than on the SD card. I uninstalled a few of the bigger ones (actually just three of the biggest) and then went to the market to install maps. Came through without a problem. Strangely, using Titanium again I was able to restore all those apps I'd uninstalled to make room for maps. I have no idea why that worked – it seems spatially impossible – but for now, at least, problem solved. What a total hair-puller the invalid package error is.

The problem is in your TF201 dalvik-cache! You will need lucky pacther,ROOT,superuser or supersu for fix thing! When you install lucky pacther only what you need is open it and assces to root on superuser >>> than lucky pacther will delete unused dalvik-cache!

I had this problem as well, what you need to do is to install Lucky Patcher. Run Lucky Patcher and let it do its thing, it'll clear unwanted .odex files from your system and it just works thereafter
Hey! I see from your sig that you're on hb1.3, may I ask if anrs or whatnot still persist? Are stutters still present when browsing really quickly and whether switching apps from the recent apps menu results stutter?

I haven't had a single issue with HB1.3 as of yet. I also ran Pimp my Rom though to eliminate any issues that were in 1.2... so IDK if it naturally has it or if the PMR helped it out more than I thought.
okay so I installed lucky patched but Wild Blood is still showing up with the following error message
"You do not have enough available space on your memory card to install the game. You need to delete 0MB from your applications (Video,Games)"

First try reinstalling is its from the play store
This happens because the files were not downloaded or extracted properly, are you running a cracked version of this?
Whatever the case is, you could try extract 'main.107.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftWBHM.obb' file by changing the extension to .zip and move all the extracted files to 'sdcard/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftWBHM/files
So how's hb1.3 does it stutter in overall performance or switching apps from the recent apps menu?
One thing that worked for me is moving the downloaded files from /Internal Storage/Android/data to SD Card/Android/data. Since there is a limit on Google Play about the size of uploaded apps, uploaders are instead allowed to attach .obb files where much of the data is. These OBB files are supposed to be downloading to external storage, not internal, so you might want to check if they were to downloaded internal storage rather than external.

Hey guys,
I'm having this issue with my Xperia Z1, locked unrooted stock.
I used to have the issue with the odd app update on my XL.
Removing the odex file in the app dir was the fix.
In this case, I can't find the games app dir. It's just not there.
Nothing to delete, nothing to move.
I'm not rooted yet so I cant run lucky patcher.
Thus far, apk is installed, checks files on run, gives memory error message as above.
Anyone have any ideas?
