As in the title, market place attempts to update youtube but after downloading, error appears saying 'The package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again.' I have tried to uninstall youtube but there isn't an option to do this in manage applications. Does anyone know how to fix this please? It's beginning to p*$$ me right off now.
Cheers

If you really wanna uninstall the app then you need to be rooted for one (really putting off the urge to rant at this moment but too tired)
Once you are rooted then you need an app capable of either uninstalling a system app or a file manager with root capabilities that will allow you to delete the youtube apk from the system folder.
Then you can go back to market and install you tube manually.
And all this was a waste of my time because if you took the time to do just a LITTLE research before starting a new thread then I wouldn't need to tell you any of that because it's all BASIC knowledge gained from the slightest bit of interest in the operating system your phone is running and yes, I gave you your answer, but you have to bear the rant
If you look at my sig you'll see I'm rooted!
I wasn't aware there was an app that can remove system apps
and lastly its optional for someone to reply to a thread, nobody forced you to.
I'm quite new to Android, this is what q&a section is for. No need for any kind of attitude.
But thanks anyway! I wont need to ask again.

There are 2 programs that I used to use when I wanted to uninstall an app: Android Assistant and Rom Toolbox.
Now, I use just Rom Toolbox. It's good for a lot of things and there's also a free version on market.
Cheers dani
Much appreciated

I recently switched roms and lost the Avatar launcher and the Sims 3.apk.
I know you can open Avatar through the gallery but that's not as good for showing off.
Can anyone send me a link to download them, or maybe rip them off your device?.
I really miss them.
There are many ways to solve this.
First, is search the forum.
Second, know something about his, download a stock rom and pull it for yourself.

I am having a similar problem trying to install Avatar. I am running Bionix Final - Sims 3 installs fine, Avatar is a no go. I tried to copy it into /system/app using Root Manager - rebooted and it still does not appear... any ideas?
I don't really know, I'm still a noobie to this android stuff. I just pushed it into system/app/ using ADB, and it worked for me. I'm using fusion 1.1.

Is that Bionix a Froyo build?
I've posted a modified Avatar.apk that looks for the movie in the proper location on Froyo ROMs. It's tested on Onyx ROM, but should work on any Froyo ROM. It's here if anyone still looking for a workaround about this and the apks posted above don't work for you.
On avatar it says application not installed...? Also when I download it where does it download the file?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I get a file not found when launching the avatar apk. I'm running macnut12. Hmmm, maybe I deleted the movie in the internal sd by mistake. Reverting back from a stock froyo (e.g. Eugene's unofficial froyo) through Odin should fix this issue. Am I correct?

Is that directed at me? Do you mean on your phone? Downloads from the web should end up in a folder called Downloads on the internal sdcard. From there copy with root explorer or adb to the proper location (/system/app)
Sims 3
When I had this issue I had lost the entire Sims 3 game and not just the launcher. The second post only includes the launcher apk, so I will attach both. I am only reattaching the launcher just in case the one posted somehow does not work with the launcher posted prior.
FYI - I pulled these from my stock dump I made before I loaded my first custom ROM, and from what I have heard they will work ONLY on the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959 and nothing else.
It may not matter, but I think it is best to install them in order. Also since the max upload on apk (for me at least) is 8Mb and the game is 74Mb I am putting them into an archive first and doing an external link, so you will need 7zip or something similar.

Sims 3 parsing error on samsung vibrant
Can someone help me. I keep getting a parsing error everytime i open my sims 3 on my samsung vibrant.
how do i install this on my phone... do i save to my memory card are something.

These are standard APK files. Basically they are Android installer packages. What to do with them or how to install them are basic aspects of using Android. If you plan on using an Android device as anything beyond a basic consumer device you should take the time to understand these basics because putting them here is beyond the scope of this thread.
This should help.
ok so i got it. but now when i use app installer to install the application it says parse error

So do you have a T-mobile Vibrant SGH-T959? It absolutely will not work if you don't.
Did you install both APK files in the correct order for Sims 3?
Are you using a custom ROM? It may not work in all ROMs. If you are using a AOSPish ROM like Macnut I don't know if it will work, because AOSP is built from the (Android Open Source Project) and not from Samsung/T-mobile firmware.
I have only tested this to work on Bionix and Auxra ROMs myself.
I have a samsung vibrant... I am using android 2.2 i have no custom rom installed.. do i need to rename it are something. what is the order of the sims 3 apk. can u list a step by step instruction list on how to do this..

Something is wrong with your statement. Maybe I should have been more explicit in my questions. This only works for US T-mobile Vibrants. It is an exclusive item that was (non-exclusive version now available in the market for $4.99 http://www.appbrain.com/app/the-sims™-3/com.eamobile.sims3_na_qwf) only available on US T-mobile Vibrants. This package only restores Avatar and Sims 3 for those who lost it, it does not provide it to those that should not have it.
Here are the problems with your statement:
You can not be using a stock firmware and also be using 2.2. Sorry you have to pick one as T-mobile has not pushed a OTA 2.2 out yet. This is not for Bell customers or other non United States phones.
There is no reason for you to have lost these packages if you are not running a custom ROM as they are not uninstallable.
So as you can see, there is something very fishy with your story. If you are just confused and not lying about your situation then you are running a custom ROM or you would not have lost these. In this case try re-downloading the files, use the link in my first post (Post #13) and you would have to be really confused to not figure out the order to install because they are numbered. If it can not parse these then either your download is corrupt, you are missing one of the two installs, or phone is not a United States SGS-T959.
Hi, ever since upgrading the ROM to 2.3.4 one of my most used apps (MMTracker) is no longer available in the market. Everything was fine in 2.3.3 and I have restored it successfully from Ti backup, however it is now several versions old and I would like to update it.
If I log into the market on the PC I can see the app, and it says that it is not compatible with my device. The developer says that it is up to Google to change its compatability, and that there is nothing he can do.
A) How dose this system work? does google test every single app on every single phone running every single version of android? I very much doubt it.
B) More importantly is there any way to fool the market into letting me download it?
Thanks for any ideas.
Tom
No ideas?
Is it possible to fool the android market into thinking the device is running 2.3.3, or even persuade it that the devide is a different one altogether? for example by editing build.prop?
Just a gentle bump, I cant believe there isn't a solution to this problem...

Thanks for the reply but I looked into Market enabler and to quote the application description
'Market-Enabler is an application to fake the phone's location and access markets from other countries'
The problem is not with the location of the phone, the app in question is available in my location it is just that the 'upgrade' ffom 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 has removed it from the market.

Hi everyone,
I am on Revolution Rom from Leomar. Everything is great but i have one problem.
Coming from CM7 or Stock, i have no issue installing Astro File Mgr Pro from the Market.
On Leomar Rom, the Market tell me it is not compatible with my device. Same things happen with anothers apps.
I cannot explain why it is compatible with CM7 or Stock and why it doesn't work on Leomar. May be it is a known issue and i didn't find it on the xda forum.
I cannot post in the Leomar Thread because this is my first post.
If Leomar see my thread, i just want to thanks him and his team for the great jobs !
I am not thighted to Astro bu i want to understand
Best regards !

It does not work. On the smartphone i cannot find the app because it is not compatible.
Does Leomar's ROM come with Astro File Manager already installed? If so, you may need to remove it before you can install the Pro version.

No it doesn't. I manage to install the astro app but not the pro key. The pro key seems to be not compatible with gsII on this rom.
I do not understand why. Do i have to check with leomar or astro dev ?
Finally Leomar told me that is CSC related, and he is hardly working on. I will read further info on his thread.

Parse Error
If any one gets parse error as I did, try putting the apk on the root of the SD card and using appinstaller from the market to install it. Worked great for me. Hopefully this helps.

Running CleanROM 2.8, however, I believe I tried to install while running DE 1.2. Couldn't figure out why it didn't want to go. I am the only one I know who got that parsing error. But, that was the one, simple way I got around it and figured I'd share it just in case.

android market doesn't appear at all, tried restoring it with titanium backup but it was a fail.
point is could someone provide me with a link to download the android market and please make sure it works with cyanogen mod 7 RC 1.7
Also, please do not say any suggestions like, did you try fixing permissions so it doesn't force close?
And one more question, is the browser supposed to not have flash? Oh and how am I supposed to setup the Gmail account when I click on yes cuz it just takes me back to the hone screen
You didn't download and install google apps. There is a link in the cyanogen thread in the developer's forum. I'm on my phone so can't link.

The file will only exist if you've tried to view a flash video in the browser already.
Alternative is to download Flash10.2 apks and replace your current version with one of those.
