4.2 Root Explorer Issue - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

So I just upgraded to a 4.2 rom. It works great, but I cannot install apps directly from the internal memory. Whenever I try to install an APK it says there is a parsing error. However, if I move the APK to my extSD it will install fine.
I know this always gets brought up in these threads, but no, this is not for warez. I just have some APKs that I'd like to install from around XDA and whatnot.

[Solved] com.google.process.gapps error

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.
anyone?

YES! com.google.process.gapps SOLVED!
@ 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
Victor
Is there any possibility to install these apps via recovery? Via .zip or adb?

[Q] error re-installing youtube

hi everybody,
I it my first new thread, I hope I post it at the right place....
I started my dicover of the android word with a Samsung Xcover x5690, android 2.3.6.
Nice phone, unfortunately containt plenty a syst soft, some in Germain, so unusable for me. So many softs that the phone run extremely low. So many that /system partition was full and I had to remove a apk during a recovery reboot first to be able to root my phone.
I installed root uninstaller. I delete other germain apk, I succefully transfered some apk from phone to sdcard, but even after that I still get some out of memories.
I decide to force to move google maps, gmail and youtube to sdcard. Impossible to perform directly, I remove those syst apk with root uninstaller, then I re-install them from market.
That worked fine for maps and gmail, that are not syst apk anymore.
BUT... I cannot install youtube, each time I get the error message that I cannot install in the default directory.
Does someone have an idea how I could re-install it ?
Thanks.

[Q] [Help] Root Explorer and Root Manager not working

I've looked around the boards and haven't found someone with this problem yet, and if I am in a wrong form I apologise, new at posting.
Ok here's the problem: On my Xperia Play which is rooted I am trying to install the walkman music player via this tutorial on xperia gamer: (new user can't submit url, so look it up if curious or relevant)
I am trying to move the apk from my sd card to /System/App and it looks like it pasted it, however there is no trace of the file, and if I move instead of copy there is no trace in the source folder either.
When I try and change permissions in the apk it always reverts back as well.
In superuser both file browsers are in the logs and if I remove their SU privileges they ask for them again.
This happens the same way in both file browsers so I'm not sure what to make of this.
Ideas anyone?
This is probably a common problem. This happens due to superuser app. Try installing supersu by chainfire and see whether the problem persists our not.
If the problem persists reinstall busybox
Before following all the above steps you can simply try updating the superuser app
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA
Ok it appeared to be a problem with my busybox install. Everything working perfectly now. Thanks for the help!
ok I recently had to restore my kernel and rom, and this problem now exists again. Updated busybox, Installed Supersu and various different root browsers. Problem Still persists. Anyone have an Idea?

[GUIDE] How to get more storage on Jellaxy Rom

Hi, guys! This is a newbie guide to explain how to get more storage and install more apps in your Galaxy Ace
Jellaxy Rom is coming a stable Jelly Bean to us; but It uses a lot of internal storage. You can, simply, install the CM10 Lite, but if you prefer the Laglooser Rom, you can do few things.
Install Gapps Lite
[TIP]System Storage is different about apks. The system apk are not extracted, as the internal installation do. Let me explain:
If you have an apk what have 6 MB, and you decide to install normally on the INTERNAL storage, It'll be extracted and really will use about 15 MB.
But If you install the apk on the SYSTEM storage, It'll use just 6 MB.
but, What does this mean?
It means you can install your apps in the system storage.
Trebutchet and AOSP keyboard use almost 30 MB in the system storage.
So, we can uninstall this two apks and install Apex and Swiftkey. They used less memory and it will release more storage for us.
Install Titanium Backup and Root Browser.
Get the Apex.apk and Swiftkey.apk and put to /system/app with Root Browser
Put the permission rw-r--r-- (for both)
Reboot your phone
Determine the new apps as pattern.
Now, open Titanium Backup and uninstall Trebutchet and AOSP.
Reboot again
NOTE: If swiftkey doesn't work on system, install normally.
Now you have more system storage, what means you can do the same process with some apks you want. You can uninstall what you want(but, pay atenttion if you won't unistall a important apk), and install too.
Remember! Always after you put the apk in the system you need to set the corrects permissions
In my case, I uninstalled apollo, and installed MusixMatch, and more 13 apks. (facebook, astro, evernote, flipboard, whatsapp, drive and others)
People can tell the more you use the system partition, less performance you have. But, I didn't fell any difference.
That way you'll have more space, more apps.
Install the apps that the apk is low, but installed is hard
If you have doubts, tell me. If I help you, thanks me.

Unresponsive reinstalled Google Play Store app on rooted Samsung SCH-i509

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!
