I'm trying to install some of the standard apk's on my rooted Evo (myn's warm 2.2)... like footprints and setup wizard... without success...
method 1: I open up root explorer, make sure that read and write is clicked on, go to the apk file on my sd card and click on to launch, system asks me to confirm what to do.. so i click install.. asks me again to confirm if i want to install application and lists the permissions.. again i click install... goes to the screen with the progress bar for about 2 seconds then at the end shows an exclamation symbol that says "application not installed" and my only recourse from there is to click a button that says "done"... unknown sources option is checked on also....
method 2: take all the apk files and place them into a single zip file on my sd card... reboot into recovery and clear the cache... flash the zip file... confirm that it says flash complete and reboot the phone into android.. check my apps and confirm that nothing was installed...
method 3: same as method 2 but with each individual apk in their own zip file... same result...
I just have one more thing to say.................. WTF?!

There are threads libt9.so goes in lib folder and the apk in app folder. There are tons of threads that show how to do this,I see this being closed quick.
maybe, but when i try im getting a messege saying that it cant be installed on my phone.
You put the libt9.so in lib folder in system folder and then installed the app?

You have to push the files using adb, not install them with adb or a file manager on the device.
as manup said,
libt9.so goes in /lib
and the apk goes in app dir

installing the htc_ime.apk
1. get the htc_ime.apk file
2. get a file explorer (OI, ASTRO, or any file explorer)
3. put the htc_ime.apk on the root of or sdcard or somewhere in ur sdcard where u can find it
4. go to Settings->Application
5. check the unknown sources feature
6. go to ur file explorer
7. tap on the apk file, it should give u an install option
8. follow the instructions and install it.
9. if its not showing even if its checked on the locale/text settings, then go and long press on any text box, and it should give u an Input method selection, select the Touch input radio button, then ur done.
if u wanna do it via adb, you can try and look up instructions, but this is the easiest way i can think of and i made the instructions as clear as i can.
thanks man
Weird i seem to install but when i start to use it .it force closes all the time !!!

This is the easiest way.. it's exactly what I do when I flash new ROM's with some messed up keyboard they think is cool... ha ha ha.
I need the .apk of the version of Google Maps before this new update came out.
I accidentally deleted it.
Thanks.
What happens if you try: Menu -> Settings -> Apps -> Manage Apps -> find Maps in the list and choose Uninstall updates ?
You can give this a try. I pulled it from my titanium backup that updated daily, and the manifest says that is is version 4.7.0.
It keeps saying install is failed.
I'm on Uber ROM, and I think maps is baked into it. Other people were having problems with it too.
I'll try a re-flash and post results.
Actually, a re-flash just wipes everything.

Ok I see what you are working with now. Just follow the steps below
1. Download the file below, MAPS.sh
2. Place the file MAPS.sh into your gscript folder on your SD card
3. Open the program GScript
4. Press your menu key
5. Press the Add script button
6. Press Load file
7. Now select MAPS.sh from the available scripts
8. Make sure the box next to “Needs SU?” is checked
9. Press Save
10. Now press the MAPS script
11. A blue screen will come up, now give it a minute until it says success at the bottom of the blue screen.
12. Exit out of GScript
13. Go to your favorite file explorer
14. Find the Maps.apk file that you downloaded in my first post
15. Now the file should be able to install without any problems
16. You can now enter the Market and update
I installed the Uber Rom and tested all of these steps with success.

It gives me a failure message, saying that it can't find the file when gscript is doing its thing.

Ok, that is fine it just means that you have already deleted a file that it is trying to delete. It also sets the file system to allow you to install the apk. Just run it all again but install the apk after it is done no matter what GScript tells you at the end.
It won't install.
I'm a HTC Desire S owner. I've problem installing APK files. It shows "There is a problem parsing the package" when trying to install apk files in ES File Explorer. It only happens when the apk files are in SDcard. It don't happen when install apk files which are located in my PC thru WiFi with ES File Explorer. It don't work with ASTRO file manager either. But I can install with AndExplorer and can install from PC (with DroidExplorer). I mostly use ES file manager and wanna install with it. I'm currently using latest version of ES file explorer. I've already checked "Allow installation of non-market apps" in setting. It did not happen with Stock ROM. Happened while using Saga3D, I don't know what I accidently did. I change to new rom 'Virtuous Quattro (ICS) and it still occur. Now I'm on Hyperion and it is still happening. Please help me.

I cannot tell you the reason for this issue, but it's well known. just download the apk on your Pc and put on Sd card then.
And Sometimes you are downloading an corrupted apk, simply download the app somewhere else.
Sent by my fingers to your head.
They say this error is likely attributed to:
1) Some strange apk not fit for the device. so, try downloading compatible apk.
2) Problems with Dalvik cache. try wiping cache & dalvik cache.
The reason for this is that the app is not downloaded completely. The download may have been interrupted on your phone due to some reason. On PC, the apps are downloaded uninterrupted, so no parsing error.

Thanks. Good to know

This occurs in case of corrupted downloads, where the file is shown as completely downloaded but actually some bits are lost while downloading. Very common when the downloading is done on the phone itself. Try downloading via PC and then transfer the apk to the sd card and you should be fine. I came across this when downloading an apk from the xda site itself (in the app development forum i think) and everytime i tried downloading on the phone, i got a parsing error... but as soon as i downloaded on PC and transferred it to phone, it installed right away!
I'm sure APK file is not corrupt. I can install with AndExplorer but not with ES File Explorer. I reinstalled ES File Explorer, but still not working.

Well then i guess you can say goodbye to ES File Explorer and stick to AndExplorer if this solves your problem!
Whatever works for you man! At least you found a workaround...I used to go crazy when i got these parsing errors!!!
Or try a different memory card. I have a Kingston micro-SD which gave me sleepless night awhile.
apk Problem
Have tried to check your Android Minimum SDK Version you have at your Program ??
Check this file and check your device
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="19"
android:targetSdkVersion="20" />
I have faced this problem with old versions , and resolved it by changing the appropriate minSdkVersion

APK installation Astro File Manager issue
For me, the APK installer in Astro File Manager doesn't work atm.
I see a brief scanning popup window but then it disappears.
Until they fix it, it's best to avoid launching APKs from Astro File manager.
If you think your APKs installs are using Astro File manager as the default app, you need to clear it.
On a Samsung Galaxy S7, I had to
1. Settings > Applications > Application manager
2. More (Reset app preferences)
3. If you have Samsung Kids Mode installed, you need to run and reconfigure it (if you don't you'll get annoying popups because Kids Mode app is now unstable until you reconfigure it)
4. Return to ES File Explorer and launch the APK (if there are still issues, continue to step 5)
5. Go back to Application Manager (i.e. repeat step 1)
6. More (drop down menu on top right) > Show system apps
7. Scroll down and locate Package Installer
8. Set as default
9. Try again

I had the same problem it was related to Package installer permissions. Gave the storage permission to package installer it worked. Mine was LG G3 with CM13 by the way.
So, today I received a system update. Specificaly the name of the file is "OTA_Pico_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.42.479.2-1.28.479.1_release_270740jtk8y5516txcgby3.zip"
I can upload it if you want.
But when I try to install it, it reboots the phone (rooted HTC explorer) and takes me into Clockwork recovery mode, when I try to install it from there, at first it says that the file cant be verified, so I turned verification off and tryed again, and then there was some sort of error. How can I install that update?
If you wont help me with it, can you at least tell me if its ok to manualy copy files from update to system through Root Explorer ?
bump :/

First this app will only work on a stock/stock base ROM. Second, you need a root file app, like root explorer or root browser. In root explorer you have to select to give r/w permission.
Go to the location of the app, long press it and select copy. Then navigate back to
/system/app and paste it. Then long press it again, select permissions and make it rw-r--r--. Then reboot
Hopefully this will install for you. If it doesn't than the apk itself would need to be modified.
One last thing, if you have another sec.player.apk in system/app, you might need to change it from .apk to .bak then reboot before you begin the other process. You can just rename it back to
.apk and make sure permissions are right then reboot to re-enable it.
