"package file is invalid" for flash player in VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition - G Tablet General

I flashed with "VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1". I'm impressed how everything works smooth and great. Market downloads and installs if I connect to google talk first.
The adobe flash player downloads but cannot install, it gives : "package file is invalid". Other apps installs.
I tried the suggestions that I found in the forum, including rebooting, reseting trying to install from file, trying to install different versions 10.1 10.2 or 10.3 without any luck.
Still the same error. Before trying to flash it again, I wanted to as if anybody have a suggestion ?
thanks in advance.

i also have the same problem. went to download flash player 10.3 from android market, for my htc wildfire. it just wont install

Phoned HTC up and they said it means the device dosent support flash

Use Task Manager, or 'Manage Application', or Uninstaller, etc . . . to check and uninstall any flash player version that was already installed in/with the rom. Then download and install a later version of your choice. I had to do it once before. Hope that it would be the same in your cases.
Dave,

[Q] YouTube app won't install.

Anyone know why?
Facing the same issue
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
same.. did everything... I could do. Same issue with Voice search too!
I uninstalled the old version with titanium, fixed permissions (don't know if this actually helped), restarted, and then the new youtube installed fine from the market. Good luck
M running cm6 uninstalled the existing version with titanium then reboot.
Once done go to market get the latest version n guess what it installed

You have to remove it first with adb or su-File Manager then install from the market...or just flash the latest Gapps gapps-hdpi-20101020.1-signed.zip
Thanks, it worked.

[MOD] Hulu: Flash 11 modded to work UPDATED 11/26/2011

UPDATED 11/26/2011
Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

What is the error it gives u? Does it say platform not supported? or it needs higher version of flash?
works perfect. However please add this to instructions *must switch flash from on demand to always on

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.
Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.
i'm on 8.2.3.9-20110423
I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.
Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.

[Q] App Not Installed - Netflix/prime1.7

So I'm too new to post this to the dev thread, otherwise I'd have posted to the rom post.
I have been trying to install the netflix, netflix_mediaclient_246.apk. Before updating the prime 1.7 I was on the stock 3.2 update, without netflix installed. I updated to Prime1.7 and added the pcb theme (Wicked cool theme BTW)
I've tried a couple of sources, but when I attempt to install the netflix app, it says installing, then goes I get an error, "Application not Installed"
When reviewing the thread, some people referenced downloading netflix from the market, but I don't see it in the market, so I used downloaded copies.
Prime ostensibly already has the netflix patch, but I do need to get the basic software installed. Why would an app not install? I've never seen this type of error before.
Thanks
Have you enabled apps from third-party sources in the settings?
Yes, and I've sideloaded other apps since I went prime.
try using an app installer, and make sure that you don't have a bad version of netflix already installed.
I had done a full nvflash restore before going to honeycomb 3.2 so there is no previous NetFlix Install. I've tried easyInstaller, apk installer and appInstaller from the market all result in the same thing.
I've tried installing the .apk from an SD card mounted in the keyboard, from microSD on the tablet itself, and from the tablets own internal sdcard. All have the same result.
The application starts to install, says installing, then I get the red x with Application Not Installed.
I'm wondering if I should reimage prior to adding prime, try installing netflix and the reinstall prime - but I don't want to have to rebuild my data again
I was having the same issue, but ran the apk from total commander on my micro sd and it installed from there. However I am on rooted stock 3.2.
Total commander seems a cool little app- sadly like everything else. i get Application not Installed.
boo
I'm thinking at this point it's cwm restore, install netflix, re-prime. bah, I'll wait till the weekend, when resyncing touchdown will go much better.
SOLVED:
Grabbed the .apk from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
Named mediaclient_1. I was trying the 246 apk that I found on a few other threads.
Happy netflixing.

[Q] Application Not Installed "Gameboid"

Hi guys,
I tried installing "Gameboid" on my Galaxy Player 4.0 US version, but when i hit "install" after the processing was done, it said "Application Not Installed." By the way, Gameboid is not an app from Google Play. I downloaded the app from their official website. After that, I tried again downloading an ".apk" file from 4shared but again, it said the same thing.. do you guys have any idea of how to fix this??
this is only happening on this app... I downloaded many other apps from the internet and the all worked fine except for this.
Hope you guys reply!
PS. do you guys know if there is an ICS port for the Galaxy Player 4.0 yet?
do you have an older version of gameboid already installed? if so, remove it first, then try reinstalling.
have tried.

Sorry for the LATE reply and thanks for the idea. But unfortunately it didn't work. Gameboid is an app which you find off the internet, it is not in Google Play. This is what I did.
1) Installed the .apk from google on the player, not from the official website.
2) Installed the app from the official website
3) Installed the app from the official website and copied to sd and tried to run from there.
I have tried all three things and NONE of them have worked. It is not an incompatibility issue because my friend also has the app running on his Galaxy Player 4.0. And YES I do have the latest version of Gameboid
Uninstall whichever version you have on your phone right now, wipe dalvik cache, and then re-install

Unable to download a particual app even though I have the right Android os

Okay this has been bugging me out for a week now, I can't seem to download the Chiltern Railway app on to my Vodafone Smart 858, (Huawei U8160) it says when I try to download it it just says my device is not compatible ???
I was running The smart Lucky rom with no problems and I used to have the app on my phone, but my mate thought it would be okay to find a better rom for the phone, he didn't back up any of my apps or files and just wiped the phone, he couldn't get any of the roms to work probably, So I went back to the smart lucky rom, and proceded to reinstall my apps from Google play,
I am now using the Custom Rom LegDroid CM7 U8160 which works really well, and says the os is now 2.3.7,
So I don't understand why I can't download this Chiltern railway App, it even says the minimum system needed is 2.1
Does anyone have any idea to why I can't download the App?
What if I just copied the apk file from a friends phone, would I be able to install the app then?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
