[Q] Bluestacks/Facebook installing problems. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but anyways the issue I'm having is installing Facebook on Bluestacks. I had to restore my computer so now I'm reinstalling Bluestacks and I can't seem to install Facebook. I can install other apps but I can't install Facebook. I tried going back to several version of Facebook and several version of Bluestacks and I can't get it to work. I already tried several fixes like the Google Play deleted data and cache trick and it does not work. The error I get is the Package file is invalid. If I try to install a APK of Facebook I get a error saying "APK installation failed: INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK" and if I try to install a downloaded APK through Root Explorer I get a this file appears to be corrupt. Can anyone help me with this problem?

(Bump)
Still no solution to this. Am I the only one having this problem?

(Bump)
Been at this for a couple of days already and still no solution. I noticed Instagram is having this problem as well.

[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] Help: Trouble installing apps manually

I've tried installing TigerArcade (mame emulator) for my phone, but it's not available with my carrier/country.
So I downloaded it from an off-market site and tried installing with Root Explorer, only to get a parsing error. I had a similar error when manually installing apps with another installer in the past...
I don't like the annoying SDK/command prompt method of installing apps and I was hoping that someone could help me?
Are there any reputable installer apps that actually work? Can I somehow get the app I want to install somehow "signed" in order to install it?

[Q] Soundhound app WILL NOT install

I had Soundhound installed. Worked fine. After a flash and install of GB 3.5 at the time, I was unable to install. I tried grabbing an .apk from a friend, Amazon, and A. Market. All get to the install step and say unsuccessful. I searched the phone via root explorer and deleted EVERY known file associated with the app. I have wiped cache. Still nothing. Anyone have any ideas? I know I could flash and set it up again, but want to try to avoid that.

[Q] Application already exists...

I am experiencing a weird issue, that I have not yet found a solution for.
I have been using a different media player for a while, and have decided I want to use Google Play Music again.
When I try to install from the market, I get an error "Application already exists..."
Well, no it doesn't it.
I tried downloading the APK to install directly outside the market,
but the package installer gives another error: "X Application not installed"
So, which is it? Is it already installed, or is it not installed?
I think there is a file somewhere on this phone that makes it think Google Play Music is already there,
but for the life of me I cannot find it.
I tried opening the APK to see if the contained files are already on the phone somewhere,
but I am not having any luck.
Can anyone help here?

You tried wiping?
or you maybe pushed an app to system, without changing permissions. the app will be installed, kinda.
I'd wipe.

Yeah, I am sure wiping will resolve the issue, however I still do not know the cause, so I am worried if I go through all the trouble of a full wipe I may unwittingly reproduce the same error later anyway.
I did not try to push an app to system...
In digging around I don't find any java packages that refer to music. This has me scratching my head.

Try going into system and looking for the google play music apk. maybe its there but just corrupted.
Reboot your phone. Had the same problem on my tab .
Thanks for trying guys. Nothing worked... factory reset did the trick.
On the positive side, a full restore using TBU (including system data) when not changing roms is quite effective

I had the same problem with sywpe at one time. Even though the .apk was removed from /system/apps AND from /data/apps it still thought it was installed. Turned out
it was a file in /system/lib . If yer still interested in how it happened for ****s and giggles that may be it.

[Q] unknown error -504 during install

I have an issue installing Tripadvisor on my phone. I own a HTC M9 running ARHD10 (android 5.1, 2.27.401.1) which was clean installed. I need help installing this app; i tried everything I could think of; deleting cache and data for google play store and play services and download manager, i tried to install outside the google play store by downloading the apk, i tried to sideload with adb, through my titanium backup, through amazon marketplace, tried to install the tablet version of the app etc etc
i have reinstalled my entire phone from scratch 3x but no TRipadvisor.
The error I receive is "unknown error code during installation -504"
What else could I try ? any ideas ?
Anybody with the same problems ? A solution perhaps?
No solution but same unknown error here. I'm on Nexus 5 and android M Dev preview 2. It happens at the end of the Google Chrome app download while installing onto the device.
Clean everything I can but no luck so far.
