The parsing package problem has nothing to do with the apk being signed. There's a problem with the compression method or how the compilation of the app. If there was an issue with the signing of the apk then it would just say app not installed.

Did you make this theme from scratch, or did you base it off an already existing one? Try recompiling the apk again and see if that works.

made it from scratch..(downloaded from source)..so i imported the source into eclipse and compiled using that..now the theme installs but im getting (this theme was improperly compiled.please contact the themes author) error. i removed the preview.png from the drawable-hdpi folder and just kept the preview.png in the drawable folder..but its still giving me the same error..just cant figure out why??
also,i read somewhere that the API minlevel but either be removed or adjusted to the right level for the OS your using (10 for GB i assume) but i cant find anywhere in the manifest for the API level...i cant think of any other reason for this error.
thanks for the help also!

Actually Im trying to change it to become like the theme in the link I posted in the OP. That theme wasnt made for my rom (stock) so I'm trying to accomodate myself. Ive used apk manager and ninjamorph too but this one is weird. Everytime I push to system/app it either disappears or the stock green one shows up. I finally got it changed a little but its the older version (idk how it became the older version considering I used the newer version and changed png) and its still mostly green. Is there another apk I must change? Thanks for the help!
Did you try going under settings, manage applications, market...and uninstalling updates...that fixed my vending.apk problems

the newest Market is 2.3.3 make sure thats the one your working with...
From reading a few other themed ROM sections, lots of people with themed ROMS are seeing their themed market apk revert back you the green market.
One suggestion was deleting the market updater apk, clearing ur updates and cache in the themed market apk, and then re-pushing the themed market apk back to system/app.
This worked for me when I was using gingerRED.
Goodluck.

The version I have is 2.21 & how do I uninstall updates?
Here, this is 2.3.2 CWM flashable, neon blue market. It will not update and change back to green unless you want it to. I already skipped two updates and very happy since it didn't change. You might have to reboot a couple of times before it changes and if it doesn't wipe data for market and reboot.

Oh your not off the hook that easy, tell me how you did the market thing? I tried pushing every possible way and got stuck with an older version even though that version was never even used, extracted or saved anywhere phone or pc. You have to tell me!!!
Also that application/program doesnt contain the market app so....

Lol, I didn't make it, it was made already. I got it from someone few weeks back. not sure who made it but there is another thread for someone customizing market except I didn't see the neon blue one in there.

Ok I'm seriously doing something wrong because now Im trying to change my framework-res.apk and keep getting force closes. All I'm changing is .png not even .9.png. What am I doing wrong? Here are my stepsall using apk manager)
extract apk
change images as needed
optimize images
zip apk (using system option)
take apk and push to system/framework using various methods
the end
ps. all images exchanged are from roms or themes not supported by the stock rom. I get the images to go after Im done but also get hit by a million force closes.

I used Titanium pro donate version and froze the market updater. After that I used Root Explorer and copied the themed vendor apk and pasted it to system/app. Worked perfectly. I did have to reboot initially and it worked. Hope this helps.

Actually Im trying to change the framework-res.apk now I need to edit the thread title. I keep getting force closes when I edit framework-res.
Ps I pretty much never have had success editing any apk in the system folder. Can someone post a dumbed down tutorial on how to edit apk's in the system folder?
Greetings XDA, Im new here and i need some help regarding apk multi tool.. Ive searched the forums but i couldnt find any suitable answers
So I am trying to decompile the framework-res.apk and edit the styles.xml in values folder .. but everytime i compile it back and push it to my sytem/framework, and restart my phone bootloops..
this happens even if i donot mod anything in the apk and just decompile - recompile - push..
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
You have to sign the APK after you decompile!
Follow This Page for more instructions on how to sign APK's.

This is wrong. Never sign a system framework file. You only sign user apps and a very small number of system apps.
What changes are you making? For what OS?

ohhk! It happened to me as well and someone told me its because I haven't signed the APK.
Anyways, Thanks for correcting me
Try by making compression level to 0 and heap size to 512
This solved my problem though.
Also be sure that u don't get any errors while compiling the apk.
Hit thanks if helped
I can't even get it to compile!

Hmm seems weird.. It's like it needs certain framework to pull the correct public ids.. is this a system app? Or what rom did you get it from? If you pulled it from a rom..try installing that roms frameworks in apk tool. .then decompile it..
If not..pull a log and see what errors it's throwing at you when it fcs. .If you want post it here..and I'll see if I can help you at all

Looks like it is not installing correctly.. Also what Android version are you on? Does this app support it?
It is also requesting to write to internal storage which I know something in 4.4 have changed with that.
? Why are you decompiling it?

What kind of help are you looking for? Do you want suggestions on what to add? Are stuck on how to add a particular feature to your ROM? One thing you could try is compiling AOSP and using that as the base for your ROM a great guide on doing that can be found here and here (Official Google guide to building AOSP). I'll be happy to help you out best I can so let me know if you still have questions.

Glad you were able to fix that, my main suggestion would be to modify only one part of your ROM at time (Just like a science experiment) that way you know that if it doesn't work it's very likely because of the modification you just made. Also logcat will be a big help to help you figure out where things are causing problems and what things are causing problems.

Try updating the system apps to their latest version and pulling the apk's of the updates version then including these latest version updated apk's in your ROM :good:.

Also make sure in your ROM's updater-script the system apps you have added are given the proper file permissions.
I did a work-around and made added apps get flashed to /data/app. But Play Store still fc's. I modified the updater-script from another Rom for this phone, but I only added lines.

I would say the same thing, with a side note that while warnings are often dismissed because you can still compile and it MAY work, they are there for a reason. In this case, as far as I see, there are missing translations. It may or may not be pertinent, but it should be dismissed upon inspection, not upon realizing that "it compiles".
