I have APK files in my download folder on Samsung Galaxy 3. I am having problems installing these files. How do I do this?
1. I click on the APK file and it gives me parsing error.
2. I then moved the files to the root directory in system\apps and tried from there. Didn't work. I get JAVA R2ME runtime error.
3. I have the J2ME files in my download folder. Where do I place them?
It's been two weeks and I am not having luck installing my APK files which are a few. I am a newbie and would appreciate help.
Apologies for posting this same question on another thread.
Thanks.

what apk's are you tying to install? have you given your file explorer root permissions? finally did you change permissions in system/app after you merged the apk's?
Parsing error is usually due to incomplete download of the app.
Try downloading it again.
Make sure "unknown sources" is checked in settings.
And one more thing,
If you did a patch to that app before, you will have to delete the associated .Odex file from data/app.

that error happens when u haven't downloaded the files properly
I have expetienced it many times.

[Q] Best way to merge back the ".apk" and ".odex" files to be 1 ".apk" file
Hey everyone,
I am seeking some help for some way to get the 2 files of .apk and .odex to get back to their original state of only one install-able package .apk file..
I tried the "de-odexing" method of the Android Kitchen, but it didnt seem to be working fine. Error message of "There is a problem prasing the package."
Any other ideas how I can extract a single application from Stock or Customized ROM?
I need this help for building a rom that supports multi languages that comes with Market installed within it and having root access.
Any help would be much appreciated!

It's the only way. You have to deodex the file. The error message "There is a problem prasing the package" is not a deodex message to the best of my recollection.

Sorry I didnt get what you mean completely.
What I have tried: I used kitchen to deodex the files, copied the .apk file to my phone, tried to install it. this error message shows up!
by the way, its the same message that shows if you copy the .apk file without the .obex file to the phone and try to install it..
Any help would be appreciated!
hmmm
I would like to bring back universal inbox (from froyo to CM7 nightly, Droid X) and a few other items
no go?

If you mean .gpk, NO
If you want to install .apk then YES.
How?
1. Copy the apk files you want to install to your phone
2. On your phone, Goto Settings - Security - Enable unknown sources (under Device Administration)
3. open "My files" or any other file explorer you have previously installed. My files is pre-installed on your phone.
- browse to the folder where you copied those apk files to (in step 1.)
- open each apk file, one after the other to install.
Done
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Gpk files is something concered with audio files or something and has nothing to do with android http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/gpk
To install apk files u should check unkown sources in settings >> security ( ICS )
Or settings >> location and Security (GB)
actually there is some games that is formated to gpk the only diffrence is it has an installer that automatically put all the file in its destination like the sd files or data. thou you can you winzip or rar to extract it if you dont want to use the installer called 'thumb play installer'
another method - http://www.muzhiwan.com/
install the top right apk

HI,
I downloaded Adobe Reader apk and pasted in the /system/app folder.
Made a backup of the firmware using nandroid.
Copied the adobe Reader apk to /system/bin of the nandroid backup after using Android Kitchen.
Zipped the Rom and flashed it on the sgs3 phone.
All apps in /system/app work except for adobe reader apk.
The message being displayed is "Unfortunately,Adobe Reader has stopped"
Kindly help.
Thanks & Regards,
Milind
If apk has libs files in it. Paste them in /system/libs and set correct permissions
The error message is not coming but the app closes down without any warning

Hey jamal.. thanks for the insight. I tried copying the file in the /system/bin.
The error message is not coming now but theAdobe reader still doesn't open.
Any more clues? is it mandatory for the apk to have an odex file.
Also do we have to make any changes to settings if we have to put it in /system/app folder?
Opps: Copied the .so files in /system/lib

Was trying to install some APK manually then i got a "LOW STORAGE SPACE" warning. Check online, was 'guided' to delete some .odex file.
I think i deleted some wrong files but I can't remember which. After deleting the .odex, I was able to install the APK I wanted to install.
But now, which is few hours later with a few reboot done to my phone. I can't use Google Play (getting error 406), I can't manually install APK which I transferred from my notebook. When I try to open the APK file (and few others which previously worked) via Root Explorer or File Commander both apps return the similar warning, somethings that says "there are no apps capable of opening this kind of file"
Any help here?

from your question I guess it is the packageinstaller.apk/odex you deleted but not sure
with out the name of the files you deleted you cant get it to work
so simply reflash the rom

Hey guys,
I am looking for the following files:
DownloadProviderUi.apk
DownloadProviderUi.odex
DocumentsUi.apk
If you want to make things dumbproof and give me a script I can flash via TWRP (which will hopefully work right), which will put these files back in System/App with the proper permissions, awesome.
Earlier, after opening an MP3 with Google Play Music, Google Play Music went crazy, the tablet froze, and upon reboot my download manager did not work, needed to be reinstalled somehow (but couldn't be reinstalled when I opened the .apk file in system/app), rendering the Play store, and Chrome, useless for downloading apps. I tried unsuccessfully to copy the apk/odex to my external SD card, before unexpectedly managing to delete the files. I deleted DocumentsUi.apk, which I probably do not need, by mistake. I tried installing a separate download manager (meant for an older device), but it wouldn't install.
I have a system.sin file for a SGP621 - but cannot extract the individual files without an older version of Flash Tool. And I don't want to flash the full file.
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE - I don't know what I did the 'Download Manager' still doesn't appear in my app drawer and I did not think the APK was still on the tab - but suddenly I can download from Google Play once again. No help needed.
