if any have you experiencing
com.google.process.gapps force close error
i have found the way to resolve it
i have attached apps copy them to sdcard and to system/app folder using 644 permissions use root explorer (root required)
and reboot
market, sync, youtube, and many more problems are solved
I was having this issue.. but after a reflash from SEUS it was sorted..
your way sounds much easier.. I had to re-install all my apps again.. root the phone.. delete horrible SE apps etc etc.. took fricken hours! (just because that error seemed to be stopping Market working Grrrrrrrrr!!)
any idea what this gapps app is and what it does? I don't remember deleting it (I generally just get rid of games, user guides etc.. safe stuff, so I was really confused when the error suddenly started popping up)
Cheers for the file tho (I have a copy safely stashed away now for next time!)
the problem i have found is that deleting googleapp.apk and google settings provider. when you do this all other google related apk's malfunction that's where the error comes up

This method was difficult to me, because i did hard reset and i dont have any program(z4root and Astro) and i dont know how install from sd because my Market didnt work.
My one way was repair from Companion

The easiest way around this is (to install a file manager without market).. either use a laptop with BT or find a friend with a bluetooth capable phone and a file manager like astro, stick the file on the laptop/their phone and send it to your phone over BT, once its copied across go to the task bar and select the file and install it. couldn't be easier..
Google talk missing mate ..cud u link me to the apk or upload it?
Thanks
I recommend you not to touch any google.apk's, you can delete googlesearch.apk, enhancedgooglesearch.apk and search.apk, rest of .apk's that have google in its name leave it alone. Also, Setupwizard (or whatever its called (Setup wiz that starts when you first boot your phone or change sim card) is closely related to google.apks and market login, so i recommend you to leave it alone to.
When i deleted it, i was unable to log on my market (when i start marked i only get force close error and my market crashes and i was unable to login to my google acc to do the synh.
Thanks a lot, i wasn't able to copy them directly to the specified folder (i don't have root explorer), but copying the apk to SD and installing them from there seems to solve the error.

for setup wizard, I have deleted it and I can access market without problem.
but, I do sign in into market first before I delete it.
I copied the files to SD and then I installed every single one of them... It worked!
But only to remove the FC message... Still couldnt use Marked... So I reflashed it and recovered with Titanium... 15 mins and I was up n running again...
Thanks dude!!! After days of searching for a solution I downloaded and copied to system\app your pack and it worked.
Now I wonder why these android phones start doing funny things when you try to delete the Google stuff. Maybe that "don't be evil" policy is a thing of the past.
Hi , I downloaded the apps.rar to my phone but it can't extract or install..
it claims the file is empty , even though the filesize says 1,95 MB. Very strange..
I get the com.google.process.gapps error when opening Gmail app.

@ The Andropirate... You sir are my new hero for the day anyway! I rooted my phone and my buddies and had this horrid error and market freeze for a couple days now with all kinds of bogus advice on how to fix it.
This IS how to fix the problem!
One thing that was not clear to me was copying the files in root explorer which I did do but it didn't seem to make a difference so I installed the files through root explorer from the SD card and that worked. I then simply installed the files from my friends SD card on his phone without the copy process and that worked. I do not think there is a need to copy the files to system/app. Simply extract to SD and install from there through root explorer.
This fix worked on Alcatel PT-980a and a Motorola Citrus
Im a bit of a n00b and when i rooted my x10 mini i went crazy uninstalling everything. Big thanks! I just copied all the apps to my sd card and installed them using root explorer. All fine now after many panicky hours!
By the way.... if you dont have any apps you need and you have this problem, download them from 4shared.com (when searching type the app name all one word followed by .apk e.g. rootexplorer.apk) and transfer to sd card... easy!
Acer A1 running 2.1
I have an Acer S100 A1 running official Eclair 2.1
Made a factory reset thinking that it would solve this gapps problem...
But no, it still pops up each time after I reboot and market is not working...
No file manager comes with the phone...
I cannot find a way to install the google apps in the first post...
Anyone, please

Is there any possibility to install these apps via recovery? Via .zip or adb?

Hi, I'm on Foxhound's Revolver Ocelot ROM and I keep getting these two messages whenever I try to download anything from the Play market;
Package file is invalid & Insufficient storage available
I cannot download a single app from the Play market.
Please someone help me to resolve this, preferably without a factory reset.

I've wiped cache and dalvick in recovery, but still the issue remains.
I've also wiped cache and data in Google Play Market and Download Manager, but error is still there.
Help, someone.

Try to download apps using another network connection. Sometime it many be a temporary network issue. Also try these methods http://www.thespicygadgematics.com/2011/12/fix-android-package-file-is-invalid.html
try what MyLifeRocks10 said: "go into either the /system/app/ or /data/app/ directory and delete the odex file that has the same name as the respective .apk"
I'm trying to download Sports Car Challenge and am getting the same problems.
First it was insufficient storage space, so I rebooted, same problem. Then I unmounted sdcard, app cannot be installed in default location, so I remounted sdcard now I get package file invalid.
AAARRGGHHHH !
I've tried clearing cache of google play store but no difference.
I am running standard XWLPG firmware with CF-root.
Solved. Sort of.
I've spent two days prowling the web searching for solutions for the "package file invalid" error. My problem was that maps would not restore from a backup or install from the market. I did one of everything in an attempt to solve it, I'm pretty sure. Since it looks like the cache is simply jammed up, preventing the install of large Google apps, I used a Titanium Backup filter to list all my apps that reside on the phone rather than on the SD card. I uninstalled a few of the bigger ones (actually just three of the biggest) and then went to the market to install maps. Came through without a problem. Strangely, using Titanium again I was able to restore all those apps I'd uninstalled to make room for maps. I have no idea why that worked – it seems spatially impossible – but for now, at least, problem solved. What a total hair-puller the invalid package error is.
Hi.I have a problem..
I flashed v2.5 yesterday, and when I want download app from PlayStore, It always give me a message: "Package file is Invalid" and I cant install app from SDcard. I try to reflash the ROM. BUT its still

+1 to this..
I can no longer download anything from the play store. It says insufficient space. I have plenty and can download from amazon. If I go into to settings there isn't any app settings. I don't know what to do...I feel so dumb with this Nook, its nothing like my Evo which I can root and mod blind folded.

try clearing the data and cache from the play store app. under manage apps look for google play store and clear data and cache. go into play store and see if anything changes.
if not you probably need to wipe your caches through cwm recovery.
insufficient space...
If anyone has had this issue recently, this is what worked for me:
in ES File Explorer:
navigate to /data/dalvik-cache/
long-press to get the menu
select "select all"
at the top, hit the "delete" button.
navigate to /cache/
long-press to get the menu
select "select all"
touch the folders to deselect them
at the top, hit the "delete" button.
I had thought in /cache/ there was a folder called either cache or dalvik-cache which I also emptied, but right now it is not showing.
**you will get app force closes**
power off the Nook, then power it back up and retry downloading apps.
This worked fine for me with no consequences. Previously I tried deleting the play store cache and data every way I could find to do so, including with Titanium Backup and several reboots, SD card removals.

Help Me please!!!
Hi I have a NOOK TABLET 8GB and since the software upgrade to 1.4.3. stopped working the Android Market and I could not download any application. What should I do to enable it again?
If you upgraded a rooted tablet then you lost root (along with any gapps you had installed, like the Market). You'll have to re-root and reinstall the Market.

- 16gb Nook Tablet 1.4.3 Rooted & OTA Blocked using Albert Wertz's 4.7 SD card. Go Launcher EX
- Umlaat
Device: Samsung SCH-i509
Android Ver: 2.3.6
Rooeted: Yes
Internal Memory: 160MB
Ext memory: 2GB microSD partitioned as: 1st Partition: 1455MB FAT, Second Partition: 515 EXT2 (I am using Link2SD for linking apps to SD card)
Superuser App: SuperSU
Rom Management: RomToolBox lite
I rooted my phone about a fortnight ago, first time rooting, things went fine, and apps were responsive.
2 days back I not only uninstalled the Google Play Store updates but also uninstalled the app, hoping I would install the latest google store APK from Android Police ( Ver: com.android.vending-4.8.22.apk )
I am new to rooting and installing apks, so after installing the above mentioned Google Play Store apk to the SD card and finding it was not responsive (I was getting a blank screen and an error message shortly thereafter which disappeared instantaneously for me to note what it said). I googled and found on a forum, (sorry don't recall which one) that the APK needs to be copied to the system/app folder and any previous apk of Google Play Store needs to be replaced. So using Root Browser in ROMToolBox I copied the apk to system/app.
Doing so did open the 'first run' of Google Play Store, as in I was prompted to allow permission via google account and opened the interface with my apps etc normally. But trouble started when I tried to update the apps. The moment I do that, I get the downloading bar AND then I get the force close screen. The same would happen in the case if I try to download any apps.
I froze the Google Play Store app through ROMToolBox App Manager.
On doing a search on XDA forums before I posted here I came across: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129881
And did as suggested in this thread: went to the system/app folder through Root Browser and set permission to rw-r--r-- as suggested there.
UNFORTUNATELY things are the same as before: once the app fires up either by clicking on a Google Play Store linked ad or by just opening it, I am back to force close screen.
I would be really thankful if someone could help me out on this.
Also, I am not quite sure how much it makes a difference I was using Link2SD to link all user apps to SD card (I uninstalled this app as well hoping to install the latest version)
You rebooted after changing the apk permissions, right? Also perhaps try force stopping the plays store, wiping the app data then reboot.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I had rebooted and clear app data but the app was still unresponsive/
The issue resolved when I downloaded an older version of the Google Play Store app and installed it in the sys/app folder after removing the previous one, reconfigured the permissions and rebooted. things are working fine now.
Cheers, have a great weekend!
Disclaimer
Although there is a small chance, me or not anyone is responisble if you proceed with this. We do not take any responsability for any bricked phones, dead sd cards or anything else.
*In case of low memory, you will still get an error on the Google Play Store. Because the Play Store doesn't know that you have made this change so it will scan the internal memory instead of the SD Card, so in order for this to work you need to clear your cache which always helps alot for temporary memory increase and or find a way to free the memory until it gets to the required free space.
How?
We will use the "pm set-install-location" line to make the device install all the applications from the Google Play Store to the SD Card.
Let's begin!
1.You will need to have root and busybox installed.
*How to root:* http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/bl-locked-twrp-touch-recovery-bl-locked-t3257430
Busbox will be installed when you root
2. You need to go to the Google Play Store and search for "Terminal Emulator Android" or follow this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=ro
-Now, after you install it, you need to give it root permisions, you can go that by launching a new terminal window and typing: "su" (without the brackets), then SuperSU will ask iff you want to grant or deny acces (You want to grant that).
-Now you will need to insert the following: "pm get-install-location" (without brackets).
0=Automatic/1=Internal/2=External (SD-Card)
-We want to set the location to External or 2, we're going to do this by typing this: "pm set-install-location 2" (without brackets).
-If everything worked fine you shouldn't see any visual response (a line that says that it succeseded), and if everything was fine you need to proceed by typing "exit" and then "reboot".
If everything worked well every app from the Google Play store should be installed on your SD Card.
Method 2
In order to make this work you need the following:
-Xposed Installer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/xposed-how-to-install-xposed-rooted-m4-t3199419
-XInternalSD module: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.xinternalsd
-OBB on SD module: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartmadsoft.xposed.obbonsd&hl=en_GB
How?
We will use Xposed Installer to actually make everything install on the SD Card (a high performace card will be useful). Follow this guide if you do wanna contiune.
Let's Begin!
1.Install Xposed and all of the other components required.
*Make sure all the modules are activated.*
2.Open XInternalSD and change the path from the install location to "/system/sdcard1" (without brackets), and tick everything (if you want ALL the apps including system apps tick every box and reboot).
Now you should be done!
What do you mean by installed in the SD card, the OBBs too?

This is meant to change the location where the applications from the Google Play Store install. And as long as the obbs are downloaded at the same time as the application itself and not like Real Racing 3 or Asphalt 8 which download the obbs and extra files after the app is installed then yes, all the app should be installed on to the Sd Card. If you want all of your Obbs to work on the Sd Card you have to have Xposed Installer and the module OBB on SD from the Google play store

You didn't grant the root permision, either type su and grant the permission or go to the SuperSU app and change from deny to grant
That's how it should appear if everything went well (instead of 2 you would get 1 or 0)
I did, permissions are given
Is this a "hook" for the "insufficient storage"? If i don't have enough free space on internal but i do on the external.
still says insuficcient storage when trying to install apps from the google play store
EDIT: okay i need to get the internal memory free first... and theeeeeeeen there is whatsapp downloading all received and sent pics, videos and voicemails on the internal storage ^^
My E2303 won't install the Apps directly to the SD Card, but now i got by every App the option to move the App to SD Card. So very better then before but an automatic install to SD would be very nice. :good:
A new method was added, go ahead and have a try!

pm get-install-location will tell you the location of where the apps will be installed
It will reply back with a number 0, 1 or 2 "0=Automatic/1=Internal/2=External"
you need to type
pm set-install-location 2 to set the install location to the sd card.

Woah. Did I just miss that? sorry and thank you.
No problem. I too make simple mistakes like that when trying something new with my phone.
Hope you've got it sorted.
I've just setup adoptable storage on the missus M4 aqua but this looks like it COULD be a better option, if the adoptable storage fails or doesn't work correctly. I would set it up now but I'm thinking it would be better once she has her phone with all her apps working and installed, that way IF the 8gb on board storage is filling up I can just move around apps and free up what I need to for her phone to be working properly.
Right adoptable storage has now broken one of my micro sd cards even though it was working 100% fine the other day... Could be the ROM I don't know, but I have now tried this method and it just doesn't work I'm using MM and I've cleared the google play store cache and I'm using e2303 but its not doing anything... Still installs like normal on the internal storage
---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------
Just to follow up have tried both methods with no errors - it just doesn't work
Problem with "app on sd card" error
Tried the first method, rebooted, went back To terminal emulator to see if changes were saved, it send me the "install location 2" when I asked. So I launched play store, but still got the "insufficient" memory, so I cleared the cache, even downgraded play store to factory, rebooted, and still got "insufficient memory". So I decided to try the 2nd method, installed xposed, and when xposed made me reboot, I had an "application on the sd card" error and I'm not able to get them back on the internal (even xposed have this error). So Tried to reistall it and terminal emulator, but every app I try to install send me "application not installed" error.... Any idea of what went Wrong ?
