[Q] New Phone "Application Not Installed" Problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I tried lot of Samurai 2 which is around 40 to 41 MB and when i install it on my device its shows Application not installed. I have tried asphalt not working. I have installed NFS shift. Its working. Why does other games do so.
My device is Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 just bought 4 days back. It has same factory rom and Os not even rooted. Just modified the os to install apps directly 2 sd using adb. I think this wont be problem because I have installed many apps which is working fine, Except some games. Help nedded guys. please....

Are the apps compatible with your device? A lot of Gameloft games aren't compatible with lower-end models phones.

Yes of course. I just now installed Asphalt 5 into my device. It plays well. But instead of a single file, I got the apk + sd cache. So i need to transfer sd cach to the sd and then install the apk to play the game. I did it for both Asphalt 5 and NFS shift. But I tried Asphalt 6 and Samurai 2 which is a single apk (not sd cache with it) and it gives application not installed messgae. My android version is 2.2 so is that may be a problem? HD games actually work in my handset. Except these new games. Lokking for your kind reply.

I have had these similar problem on my captivate you will need to just forget those apps or try installing them after flashing a diff rom..!

That's kind of an odd problem, maybe try contacting Gameloft to solve it or at least get a refund or something.
If you want to do some messing around with the apk you could decompile it with Apktool and look at some of the xml files to see if they have restrictions based on device or android version or anything. If you don't know how to do that you probably shouldn't try, if you do it's worth a look.

Sure I will get a look into it... and update you. Thank you......

Gameloft games unable to play after installing 2.2

I was normally using android 2.1 and I download the data files via wifi and is able to play gameloft games without any problem.
However recently I install android 2.2 beta3 and when I launch any Gameloft games ( eg. Spiderman), it asked for downloading of data files.
So I tried to backup my spiderman data files to my com, delete it from my phone and reinstall the data files via wifi. But after install for quite a while, it stated that "A problem occured and the download could not be completed successfully."
So what should I do to get it to work? How to continue from my progress?
Please don't give some useless solution such as going back to 2.1 since I want to stay in 2.2
I'm having exactly the same problem, mate. Excepting one or two other users on this forum (one of them is SK_007), everyone else seems to have no clue about it, except that it is a problem with beta 3 (that couldn't retrieve the data files on SD card for some reason).
But strangly some games still work, eg Gangstar. It launch the game without asking to download any data files.
Just installed RealFootball 2011 and it works (just that the starting loading take ~1min which is normal)
Well, i can confirm that oregon trail HD works too. But no luck with spiderman, lets golf 2 and EA's the Sims 3. In these 3 cases, i cant finish dl the data folder.
Sandstorm crash immediately. Asphalt5 same as spiderman, havent tried redownload data files
EDIT : After a few crashes, sandstorm works again. Not sure will it crash in the middle of game.
2.2 is not finished yet, and still in beta(all of them). just play with the working ones and let the devs finish their ROMs
The problem is a lot people have no problem playing the game at at all while there's some having problems. So I thought I may done something wrong or they have done something to make it work.
Most games work except:
Spiderman and Asphalt5 unable to read data files.
be patient untill devs finish the ROM. Be patient a little.
Anyone have a fix for this? I am trying to install Lets Golf 2 but its not working
i had same problem with need for speed. delete downloaded data (should be on your sdcard), and start download process again, that worked for me.
Same with asphalt 5
you need buy a 2.2 version of each game

Asphalt 5 HD Working on Autonooter 1.1

Hello!
I'm using Autonootered 1.1 and Asphalt 5 HD showed up in the marketplace for $1! It failed to load the intro video, so I deleted LOGO.MP4 from the directory it was stored in (I think sdcard/data/gameloft/games/asphalt5, but it wasn't hard to find) and it loaded perfectly! It is very smooth, and I have a feeling that if any other video problems arise deleting them should work.
Hurry to buy it while it is on sale!
thanks for heads up, just picked it up for a buck
Thank you ! gotta try this now
I tried getting it working on nookie Froyo 0.6.8 but no luck. I even tried deleting the video file, but it just kicks me out saying it can't load the video.
Any ideas on how to get it working on Froyo?
I bought this today . Installed then wants to download additional files. Tells me it cannot download the data apk . Not compatible blocked.
I have N/C auto-nooter 3.0 1.1 .
Any ideas why ?
Version 3.1.8 works fine for me, I'm running 0.68 Froyo emmc. I had no luck with other versions of Asphalt, including both the one dollar version from the market, and the 5 dollar version from Gameloft's site.
Anyone get this working on CM7?
downloaded, installed and it says I need to install another program in order to run it, I hit ok and it fails. Anyone seen this?
Edit- got it to install, needed an sd card in. Kicks me out at launch, no error. Deleted the intro vid, didn't work.
How exactly do you find sdcard/data/gameloft/games/asphalt5 ? I am new to the android world any help pointing me it the right direction would be appreciated.
Update : Found it connect to computer using usb cable look at contents of sd card , gameloft . deleted logo.mp4 now loads and works although froze on my 3 rd lap on first run . Will try again .
Okay , need another work around running auto-nooter 3.0/2.1 , Uninstalled , reinstalled , removed logo.mp4 . But now game wants to download missing file to continue , once download will not open . Looks like for me only worked the first time. any other ideas to get this to work .
* / For those who get the error message incompatible file or device will not load apk , go to NooK Color Tools , and check , uncheck , check again , Allow Non-Market apps , then totally shut down Nook and reboot .
Bolt.org
Hi ;
Found a version that would work with my nook color . Uninstalled my paid version from market .
Then installed ver. 3.1.8 for the Galaxy Tab . It works .
Asphalt 5 HD v3.1.8:
Samsung GT-P1000 Galaxy Tab
Samsung GT-P1000L
Samsung SCH-T849 Galaxy Tab
Samsung SPH-P100
I got the .99 one working. If I deleted the video file it usually worked but would want to redownload when I re-ran the app. Also tried converting the mp4 to baseline and the app didn't like it. I now have the following..
1. Make sure the Nook status bar is hid when running AW by doing the swipe.
2. Don't delete the video file.
3. Run app. It usually will kick right back out but I keep trying and usually around the 4th try it will give me an error about the video file failing. Click OK and runs fine.
AW? Sorry for the noob question.
from my NOOKcolor BN1.1 rooted
Sorry. Typo. Meant ADW. The default launcher. To hide the bar just swipe up.

"Application not installed"

Hi guys, I've got the phone since two weeks but that's not my first android phone.
The point is, when I want to install apks on my phone like "Cordy" or the THD's games , i've automatically got an error like " Application not installed", I wanted to try Chainfire 3D on the phone and also can play THD's games.
If you have the same issues and a solution to give, plz reply .
Thx for help guys.
Ataraxi.
Do you have SD card in the phone...?
Yes ^^, i have not the error for every apk's i try to install, just for some which unfoturnatly i want most ^^
It can be because of CPU is ARMv6... like firefox or google earth cant be installed also...
I'm not sure because i can install flash player apk but even if I can't use it, I can install it...
Happens to me all the time. It's so annoying because it doesn't give a reason it just wont install and won't work. I hate it so much, it were as if I were on an apple device
As far as chainfire is concerned, it requires a rooted phone. Is ur phone rooted?
My SGA is rooted and I get the exact error with most of the popular apps and games
I can't even install Angry Birds :S
Probably it's problem with your SD card. Try witch other one.
i guess if it's the problem with sdcard, then they wud have got the error message stating 'cannot install on usb storage or sd card' something like that ... then too u can try formatting your sd card (i assume backing up ur sd card is an implied sense ) and try again...
Look for a file named "smdl2tmp1.asec "
Can be in /sdcard/.android_secure or /mnt/secure/asec/
Its a tempfile and can be deleted or if you are unsure just rename it or move it.
After that problem should be gone.
Thanks for reply but 've already tried this without any success.. I found that some games are made for arm v7 processor also we can't install them... shame because our gpu and our processor can support many games...
Sometimes i get the error and a retry solve the problem.. maybe gingerbread is the solution .. hope so

i figured out a way to install it. I remove the credit movie in the package which is 15M in size. The package left with 60M and i'm able to install it successfully in my xperia. 1st time ran it and the program able to start but stopped after some initial game loading, guess have to tweak the chainfire3d.
I don't know w/o the credit movie how the game play will work later on.
That has always been my issue. Tell me if you succeed plz.
Thank you!

finally, i can run the game in proper graphics as i noticed for chainfire3d setting, once you have set it, the old setting still in effect even if you re-select any other options later. I have to reboot the phone to do a total reset. I'm choosing the reduce texture size only and the game now works perfectly.
Thanks! I was looking for this game
Tested in a x10 mini pro with MiniCM7 Pro.
Worked OK with the reduction option, 16 or 32 bit options made me crash at the end of the first level. It looks weird and broken but is totally playable, thanks!
Its not playable it always crashes :/
LOL this is a crapy 2D game and doesnt work ! And NFS Shift is fully 3d and it works perfect wthiout OC and Chainfire XD!

[Q] How to fix gameloft compactibility issue?

I know that for streakdroid 1.9.1 and before, there's option in install.txt to enable the compatibility for gameloft games.
However, I've jump to DSC gingerbread. For now, I'm having problem with the compatibility with gameloft games..(my lcd density is 160) any idea how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot guys !!
Could you be more specific about encountered incompatibility?
Hmmm.. When I browse with phone, the apps couldn't be found thru the market. And if I browse from computer in the android Market, and it shows that the game is not compatible with ur device. The game is mentioned is Brothers in Arms 2. Besides that, for yesterday android market 10 cents promotion, only 9 apps are showing up for me, the one dint show is one of the gameloft game. I also tried to download the apk, and after I installed, it failed to download the data package, and said that the device is not compatible. Thanks for helping me solving the problem ya, and thanks
Have you tried using market enabler to fake mobile provider?
If this doesn't help, i'll look for another fingerprints.
I don't have it handy, but the fingerprint for a Nexus S allowed me to download Asphalt 6. I reverted back to the original though before I could test the game.
Found it!
In your build.prop, find the line that starts with ro.build.fingerprint= and replace it with this one:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/sojua/crespo:2.3.6/GRH78C/93600:user/release-keys
Reboot your phone and see if it works. Make sure you make a copy of your original build.prop though just in case.
You must be rooted to do this.
n0p & lordmorphous,
Thanks for the fast response for u guys, will try it later ^_^
Anyway, thanks u guys for the great DSC rom =)
you could try getting games from gameloft wap store??
Find out what version is compatible and download it
Someone said xperia x10 mini versions work??
I have had some luck with htc desire versions as well (just dont choose any samsungs)
older adreno phone versions should be compatible.. (reminds me I need to update my gaming thread asap)
Update:
I've tried both methods, results returned seem to be the same ><
Update 2: I think is the gameloft compatibility issue.. even installed the apk file, it still failed to download the data over wifi, mentioning that the game is not compatible with your device, ask for refund. Same happen to my fren's moto ..
I'm running DSC ROM and in order to get some apps (Sleepy Jack, Tetris Free) showing up in the Market, I changed the fingerprint to:
ro.build.description=3.06.405.1 CL150597 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.5/GRJ90/150597.1:user/release-keys
They were succesfully installed, so what are the reasons to change the build.prop back to the DSC default?
I think there's no reason Thank you for sharing this fingerprint.

Thank you for answering and off course a great ROM!
So the only thing is that the Android Market now thinks that my device is a HTC Desire HD.
FYI: In order to make the spoof fingerprint work, I also changed
ro.product.brand=htc_wwe
ro.product.name=htc_ace
ro.product.device=ace
ro.product.board=spade
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
After editing the build.prop I've had to 'Clear data' from Market app and Google Services Framework, reboot into StreakMod to Clear cache partition, Wipe dalvik cache and Fix permissions.
