[FIX] Package file invalid! - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Recently, I have had troubles downloading apps from the play store.. I was getting the "Invalid Package file." Error.
Well, if you get this error, install this from the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5mZWxpcGVhcm9uLm1hcmtldGZpeCJd
and the errors will not appear again. Tested and working by me.

But it will work on most devices.

Just go to the access point names and see if there is an option to edit data access point settings. Then see if your connection is proxy enabled. If enabled, write down the proxy address for future referance.
Then erace the proxy address and save settings. Now go to play store and see if it works!
Worked for me…

[Q] Android Market or Google Play Store not working

I have a 10.1 tab and I never had problem going to Android Market or recently updated to Google Play Store. However, since last night I was trying to download a ADWtheme and it was getting some kind of -101 error downloading. I realized that all of the apps are giving me the same error. So i tried going to settings-->manage applications-->and clear the cache for the google play Store and also tried to unistall the updates back to original Android Market but still giving me "server error, Retry". Now absolutely no entry to the market. What is going on?? I tried signing out from the google account and re-signin but the same error message.
I wish I can uninstall the market and reinstalling it, but if i unistall the market how can i get it back?? do i have to download the apk from the computer first?? This is really getting frustrated. I hope someone can give me a solution. Greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Can you get to the google play store from a browser? If not maybe it is actually a server problem or issue between your ip and the server. It's happened to me at least once but resolved itself.

Yes, I can access through the browser. But this problem is since last nite (more than 24 hour so far and going). Just don't think it should behave like that. However, my galaxy S2 phone can access randomly but not my tab. Well, if anyone has a solution. Please let me know.

I rooted my tab and i used Anexplorer and went to /system/app but couldn't find the Vending.apk. I also tried to look for the root explorer but is not in the android market anymore.

Root Explorer has always been there on the market, maybe they took it down for some reasons, eitherway you can always find it via Google
You can also us the ES File Explorer. There you have to enable "root explorer" and "mount system" in the setings.
Another possibility is to use the Filemanager HD,whereyou also have to enable the same settings.
Both work on my tab and I can edit system files.

Yes, it is rooted and still didn't work for me. But Like it post it before, the problem has fix itself on its own. So that is why I assume is the google server problem.

[Q] Google Music Assistance

Hoping someone could help:
I am running nightly 4/22 with gapps 4/22 I have never been able to load the google music app from the store. I am currently running the stock ICS music.apk. If I try to install the new google music i get the "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again"... If I delete the music.apk or uninstall via apps or TI Backup and try to install the new version from the store I get "Application already exists". Does anyone have any clue why I am stuck in this stupid cycle...
I found the following via google support: If you receive the "Package file was not signed correctly" error, this is because your device is not on a user build. If your device is on a "userdebug" build with "test-keys" in the build description, the Google Play Music update will not be able to be installed from Google Play at this time.
Dont know if this applys to cm9 or not as I dont understand any of the above. I beleive I had heard of people running this app on CM9, so I assume its my machine specifically.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

UPDATE- I downloaded the newest google play music .apk and renamed to music.apk. I took the stock apk and replaced with the new one within the rom zip. re flashed rom and it worked. Unfortunately it doesn't show I have purchased via the google store, so it will never update itself. I will probably have to do this edit anytime I flash a new rom.
I have tried changing the apk name and it doesnt work. Also went to store and tried to install the app on top of the one loaded and it just sticks on "installing"
At least its working for now.

[Q] Play Store Problem : No Connection. How to fix!?

The Play Store displays no connection even with wifi. Already tried wiping dalvik cache, cache partition. Also tried force closing and clearing data from Google Play Services, Play Store, Google Service Framework. Help!!
Not enough information, your Play app could be corrupt, app settings, ROM or Google account.
Try logging into Google play on the website first to check the account works, then un-install Play app, re-install without settings, last try factory reset/reflash ROM.
It could be really simple or very terminal, like you've disabled a service or corrupted your ROM.
extra info
Google play account works on website. Tried signing out and can't sign back in - "Couldn't establish a reliable connection". Google play v3.10.14. How do you uninstall google play app?
Have you tried clearing the cache of google play services and google play in the application mananger ?

found a better solution that worked for me without doing a factory reset or device wipe. just delete the hosts file in root/etc/, by using (total commander) app.then reboot ur device and run play store and enjoy. Make a copy of the "hosts" file just incase .
I hope it works for u guys , cuz it's really frustrating error.

Deleting the hosts file and rebooting worked for me too. Thank you! :good:
AdFree
When using a rooted phone and you used Freedom for free in-game purchases, and as a result your play store won't connect, it's due the host file as stated in previous comments by others. To get rid of this problem, simply revert your host file and download the new host (both in the adfree app). This should fix the problem, hope it helps
Wrong Gapps version
After trying all solutions posted in this thread, I realized that the whole problem was that I had flash the wrong version of the Google Apps for the android version.
You can find which is the right one for your CM in the CyanogenMod Wiki. Sorry, I can't add the link now, it is my first link.
Fixed mine by realizing that somehow my system date and time were wrong.

did you install Freedom or any Ad Blocker?
No. I think it's more a problem from wifi becasue with 3g it's working.
After rooting my phone, the store and everything works fine, but when I launch Ingress to check if the FasterGPS really works, I get a "The google play services has stopped working" error and I can't do anything about it. I tried reinstalling it, but nothing works :/ Even uninstalling AdFree as paviano has suggested did not help.. I hope it won't happen with any other apps.
It is because of a hosts.txt file
Somehow you need to download a root browser (try downloading an apk off the internet seeming you cannot connect to Google Play), and then delete a file called hosts.txt. This file sets the ports and IP adress that the Play Store must connect to and after rooting it sometimes doesn't work. So it is found under etc/hosts.txt. Just delete it and it should solve your problem :fingers-crossed:

I had the same error after following the instructions. On another forum there was a suggestion to download 1Mobile Market APK by searching it on google. THis worked for me. After downloading google play services the Google play store was able to download apps. I did need to update Google Play services through the play store but after that my Play store app is working like any other android device. Be careful though there are some virus type apps on the 1Mobile Market app.
Recap:
Error when downloading apps through play store.
Download APK for 1Mobile Market
Download Google Play Services from 1Moblie Market

I followed the instructions and it worked great however, after I reboot and went back in, Play Store would not login/load. It keep telling me that there's an error retrieving information from server. It is connected to WiFi fine. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps: Clear Cache (and Data) for Google Play Store, Play Services, Play Service Framework and I've even tried to Uninstall Updates for Google Play Store but still has the same problem after several reboots.

Hello all,
I hate to ask for help but I need to ask in this situation.
Could someone with Play Store working see if Star Wars Commander is available from the Play Store?
Some apps are incompatible with certain devices & I need to know if Star Wars Commander works with Remix OS 2.0
Reasoning: Im going to buy an all in one PC with touchscreen to run Remix. However, I don't have anything to try it on before I buy the PC, & want to ensure Star Wars Commander works before I spend my $.
Thank you in advance someone!
