[Q] Problem installing an android app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've downloaded a few versions of Game Dev Story but everytime my phone can't open the file.. the free version of gds worked perfectly but the full version don't even want to install.
The error I get is :
java.util.zip.ZipException: expected 157 more entries in the Central Directory.
I know it's another ZipException problem but I couldn't find it in other threads.
What do I have to do ?

Presumably your downloaded file is corrupt. I'm guessing you haven't bought this from a legitimate market?

true, but I tried a lot of versions and other persons didn't have a problem with it ..
What does this ZipException means?

Problem installing .NET CF 3.5 redistributable

I searched and couldn't find anything. Stock ROM, new Touch Pro. When I try to install it, the progress bar gets all the way to the end then I get this
Installation error. Stop all applications and processes, maximize available storage space, and run installation again. Support info: 2.

I closed everything, turned off TF3D, and am around 50% of my RAM used. Still no dice. Any advice?
Rename the following file
rename mscoree.dll under windows\ to mscoree.dll.txt
and then reinstall NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab

What will that do?
I've done it twice and it works
Not sure what it does, but I was able to reinstall Net Compact Framework. I forgot where I saw that.
Cheers, renaming that file fixed the problem for me too.
can't find it ANYWHERE
I Have looked high and low for 'mscoree.dll' file. I looked all through windows using file explorer (with SHOW ALL FILES ticked). I've looked in my reged. Closest I can find is in windows called 'coredll.dll0409.mui'. I'm using CDMA stock ROM 1.93 WM6.1. I have not tried netcf install yet, id that why no file?
I know this an old thread, but...
Can anyone PLEASE HELP? Thanks

I'm running the stock ROM, albeit the dumped version, but the mscoree.dll file is indeed there from the factory. I didn't have any issues with the install myself. Just ran the MSI file (while synced) located here.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
It adds another file called mscoree3_5.dll.

Parse error - There is a problem parsing the package

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

2 things can be happening. Either after you exctract the zip file with Winrar and it contains an apk file which you can transfer to your phone and using a file explorer just run it.
Or you have to go into CMW clockwork mode recovery (if you have it) and select flash a zip file.

Just rename file's extension from .zip to .apk then. Depending on your OS configuration, you may have to edit 1 setting, if you can not change the extension. For that - Control Panel, Folder Options, View, untick Hide extensions for known file types.

guess it is not that memory problem, chrome&firefox renders on quality than speed, so most animations lag if more than 10-15 tabs(content also matters may be) are opened at once

no from my brain, bro ;D i dont talk same as somebody else said :/ i get behind myself im pretty sure its oom, bcuz if i usng stock browser he holds 2 sites loaded, now when open more sites , he only holds the current one. so if i switch to other site he (re)load data. on it. memory usage is some higher but okay. now when i use some browser that usaally tries to holds all the data my memory decreases very hard until to some mb left, on early legacy xperia buils my phone restarted more often if i used other browser hard. i faced this issues on nearly all new browser's... sometimes even my device stops responding so must take off battery i never faced this on stock browser but more site-reloads.
i had seen this behaviour on several roms like stock ics and cm's JB. ...
ahh YES OFFTOPIC! sry ur right bro but thanks for help

the zip looks ok
the only way the playstore would force close is if the user had installed another playstore before but changed the name of the playstore apk
for example in your script you have got delete vending apk and replace with com.android.vending-4.5.10.apk (this should be named vending.apk)
so if the user has updated their playstore themselves and have a different name then I spose technically you will now have two playstores installed which maybe the problem but normally if you install and apk it would just replace the old version if the manifest names are the same
I cant really test it as I im on cm7 and I use official gapps
all I can say is in my experience of installing gapps you should either
1 - not have any gapps installed to begin with
2 - or if you are in a stock rom with gapps already installed clear data first to avoid bootloops/any problems
