I have the same problem with the latest market updates, or any (market updates) for that matter! No matter where I download them from, it's always the same parsing error. This includes trying to install from SD or USB.
I have downloaded literally at least 30x 3.4.4 market APK's for various sources, every single one of them give parse errors, yet I can download any other APK from those same sources and install via USB or SD without a single issue! Can this be manually fixed in the files somehow?
What gives?
How's a guy supposed to add images to his post via img tags, for help ID'n a tablet, without running around spamming for 8 posts? I know it sounds lame, but I couldn't even find an introduction thread to say hi or introduce myself, so I thought I'd ask here while I bumped this thread a little to see if anyone knows a way to fix the parse error files.
By the way, LOVE the video when sign up here, it's awesome! Whoever created that deserves a medal, it's the best!!

[APP] [HELP] Doom no longer working?

Seems like it was taken down due to legal reasons? Anyway, I'd really like to be able to play this again so any help on how to install this would be much appreciated. When trying to install the wad error comes up as Invalid or missing libdoom_jni.so.
im having the same problem, load a wad, 'missing libdoom_jni.so downloading'
But it doesn't download, anyone have a link to this file? Not the Google code doom page, i haven't been able to access it for the last few weeks.
I have the file....
Hi. I have uploaded the file to 4shared. Search for libdoom_jni.
I tried put in the doom folder, don´t work.
Anyone has a better guess?

couldn't find it :/
Not sure why it was taken down, doom was released under the GPL.
you'll have to drop the file into /data/data/android.game.doom/files
if you don't have root, you're basically stuck right now =(
Got the libdoom_jni.so but whenever I try and start playing the shareware wad it tries to download libdoom_jni.so again into /data/data/android.game.doom/files/ and leaves a 0KB file there that does nothing.
Tried overwriting that file, no dice either. Ideas?

Could someone please either post here or on rapidshare etc the file libdoom_jni / libdoom_jni.so.gz or whatever it is ??
As I cannot find it anywhere its not on 4shared or anywhere ??? I have found only one site but its in russian and I can type in the letters for their spam check as I have UK keyboard.
Anyone please have the heart and upload this file or post a link if allowed.
Huge thanks in advance.

I got the file, and used root explorer to paste it in the appropriate folder but still get the same error when alunching the app. Not sure why, but figured I would share.
Any update on this?
I just got a G2 and would love to play this again. I had it working perfectly on my G1.
I get the same libdoom error
I'm getting the same libdoom_jni.so error. I've downloaded the file and placed it in /data/data/game.android.doom/files/ and still nothing... The game keeps looking for the file when I try to launch it. I even placed a copy of the file under /lib/ just in case and I'm still coming up empty handed. I checked the permissions of the file and it's readable across the board. Does anyone have any ideas?
yeah, getting the same error here. anyone know a work-around?
worked perfectly on my nexus 1. Now I regret switching to a mytouch 4g. didn't know I would have to lose doom
maybe someone could completely re-port it haha
after all, isn't doom freeware?
I've been out for a while but as the person responsible for the google code site and the google group site for Doom for Android (FREE) I've gone ahead and modified the project to include the library in the .apk file.
The library is now included and will be copied to the correct spot when the game is ran for the first time. You can download this updated version @ Doom.for.Android.1.33.666.apk
There is plenty of work to still be done to make this a bit more playable on devices without a hardware keyboard so I'll try to get things back up and running. Feel free to join the google group for all the updates.

*EDIT
hang on...working now. I uninstalled the new version you posted, and reinstalled my old version. Then I clicked "upgrade" but it said upgrade failed. So I uninstalled the old version and installed your new version again and it is now working great.
don't know what finally made it work in all that mess, but thanks so much!
Ok, someone help a noob. I've installed the apk from this thread but can't get the WAD install to work. I get some java exception error. I've tried following the help me link but it takes me to a forbidden Google page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 WLAN (YP-G1) no app market

Hi,
I'm in China right now, and i bought the new Samsung Mp4 Player (Samsung Galaxy Player WLAN 4.0, YP-G1) at amazon.cn .
Its my first android device, but iam not a electronics noob. I thought i would get an android market app, but actually theres only a "samsung app store" with a total of 8 apps available...
I found apk links to googlemaps and skype, and managed to install them. But all downloads of the android market failed to install.
Am I not going to succeed in trying to install the app market? I read about "flashing" the zip file, but no guide talks about this player.
Heres a picture of the "about" page:
h**p://i53.tinypic.com/nmagls.jpg
Does the SDK package maybe help? I read thats a way to install packages too.
Thanks in advance!
So far I downloaded many versions of the market apk.
For most of them I'm unable to install them. If i clock on the apk it says installation failed.
One actually worked, at least i could install it. When i want to open it though it pop ups with a white screen and then disappears again.
SDK didnt work so far since the USB drivers aren't working for the Galaxy Player yet, at least Windows says it can`t find any drivers in the extras\usb-driver folder.
I found a guide for the i9000, using the dial pad. But no phone functionality, no dial pad
If I would succeed in rooting my player, is it sure the market will be installable?
No other way?
I followed this guide: h**p://samsung-phones-apps.com/how-to-install-enable-android-market-on-galaxy-s-galaxy-tab.html , but the last step, copying the files with root explorer, didnt work.
I can get R/W root access, but it wont copy anything into the system apps folder.
I tried to flash the zip for the market app here from the forums, but i cant flash it without a valid signature, screenshot: h**p://i54.tinypic.com/x5qo2b.jpg
I will try to sign it with signing tool i found, lets see if that helps.
How can it be that difficult to install the stupid market
I actually succeded with some apk, but when i try to start the market app the screen turns white for half a second and then the app closes down again.
Anyone got any ideas?
Well, in the end i managed to half brick the player. Then i couldnt find an original rom (actually without a nandroid version for the player i also couldnt update the rom before flashing the wrong one).
I also tried the rom from the koren YP-GB1 player, but with that rom the touchscreen was not working correctly, left and right was ok, but up and down where exchanged, try writing on a keyboard thats actually at another place on the screen...
So in the end i went to samsung and they just gave me a paper, now amazon send me a new one.
If anybody gets the same player, dont try something funny until the original rom is out
Thanks for your advice! Let's hope that by the end of the years the pros start developing the samsung players. Then at least we'll be able to get better sound with the Voodoo Control sound app (needs root...).

Lenovo IdeaTab a2107

Hello everyone,
I bought this tablet on ebay and it seems that the ROM preinstalled is a test ROM.
I searched the web to find a custom ROM but I couldn't find much info.
I found the way to root the tablet but that's all.
Is there anyone who can indicate me a link to a stock rom or a good custom one?
Thanks for those who will read and help!
What do you mean by TEST ROM?!!! this is ridiculous, I have the tablet and it's working like a charm even I received over air update yesterday, the only odd is that I can't use it as a phone because Lenovo has no license yet for that it's available only in the Chinese version, and I think this will be solved later when they start launching their mobile phones all over the world.
Hello mmis,
Test rom is not the correct terms but I didn't know how to call that !
The problem is that every widget I put on the desktop is loading but never display anything.
The information in "About tablet" are the following :
Model number : IdeaTab A2107A-H
Android Version : 4.0.3
Baseband version : MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V13, 2012/05/25 01:09
Build number : A2107A-H_S307_120605
If I search for system updates, it doesn't find anything. If I click on firmware update, the settings FC.
I made a factory reset but no luck.
That's why I thought it wasn't a stable version.
As long as you tried the factory reset with no luck, I think in your case its better to get back to Lenovo customer service or your local dealer if it's under warranty, they should be able to help you. it's a new device in the market and it will be difficult to find custom ROM for a while or even someone to give model-specific help. Good Luck
Would you mind linking to the instructions on how to root this thing?
Sure, no problem !
After several hours of search and difficulties to register onto Chinese websites
I managed to find the attached file. I take no credit for the tool because it was developped by someone else (SNARL I guess)
It was missing the superuser apk inside so I put it back and also translate the steps to English.
Here are the steps :
- Connect the tablet in Debug USB mode
- Launch root.bat
- The device will reboot at each of the 3 steps
If you need more info, don't mind to ask!
Here is the link of the original thread :

Fantastic, thank you very much.
LePad Chinese Model A2107A-H
I have a Chinese issue model of the A2107A-H that has the dual sim card cellular feature. I've been trying to get it rooted to get rid of the Chinese apks on it, but normal rooting software has not been successful so far, including the one posted here from SNARL via Ichi go's post. I get a "device not found" error message and in device manager on my PC it indicates that there is no driver installed for the device. I have "debug" turned on and the USB link seems to be working as I can see file folders on the device, but the rooting software will not run. I've tried several of the most well known methods with no luck. Any ideas on this would be appreciated and in particular, if there is a driver I need to have installed to get the rooting software to work??
TIA!!!
Rob
First of all many thanks to you ichi go it was very easy to root this device as instructed, but as the one I have does not have the phone calling capability, I replaced the phone.apk with different one but now the device does not recognize the sim card at all, I tried to push many versions of phone.apk to system folder with no luck, it seems even if I put the apk in the system folder the device will not launch it at all, could you please help me in that.
I've had this tablet for a while and love it. I just got the OTA update and its downloading now.
I'm a also keen on rooting it and inns installing a custom ROM. I guess once its a bit more common, we can expect a dedicated Dev community here on XDA
The update failed to install. I'm not rooted or anything but upon restart it gave a signature verification error.
Any way to fix this?
Edit: got it! was a path error since i had changed the default storage.
but i can't figure out any changes

How does your device appear in the device manager? For sure, the adb driver isn't installed. If it's not the case, download android sdk and then the Google USB driver in the extra section.

FM Tuner - perfect for in-dash?
The in-dash car tablet people should be happy to hear the A2107 has an FM Tuner. It's one of the few tablets that has a radio tuner, and the only modern 7" that I know of. I just ordered one. I will report back.
The Chinese stock rom I installed has the phone ability and that works very well! The problem of this stock rom is that the Google services aren't there. I'm trying to find a way to install the zip file but I need to know the exact path of the recovery partition.
I tried to find it with the cat /proc/emmc command but this partition isn't listed.
If anyone has an idea...

So I understood that you managed to flash the Chinese stock ROM, am I right?!! please tell me how to do as I am facing serious problems with my device, I managed to root and then I changed the phone.apk (what the hell I was thinking of) and now I have the the error message android.process.acore stopped working and sometimes the sittings force closed, I tried to re root, factory reset and deleting cache of almost everything with no use, even I contacted the Lenovo CS to reinstall the original firmware, I think they will charge me for that :crying:
by the way I don't have contacts anymore (I installed it manually) and the most impressive thing that the device doesn't recognize the SIM card (I cleverly deleted the original one phone.apk :silly and what ever apk I push into the system/app folder and change the permissions it will not install after reboot.
So...what do you think guys?!! any help?
I've confirmed this does work on the A2107-F.
I had some trouble with the ADB driver. I can't post links, so you will have to google it, but I used adb_driver_20110720.zip for the drivers. I forced it to install via Update Driver > Browse my computer > let me pick > have disk > pointed to the android_winusb.inf file > selected the thinkpad option, it was the bottom of the two.
I also had to manually turn the tablet back on after the first reboot, but it went fine after that.

[Q] framaroot issue error #7

hi
Ok I've tried to find answers online myself and in this forum and getting more confused instead of getting my issues sorted. I've got a sony xperia e C1505 and I want to get rid of the bloatware on it. To do that i know it needs rooted. I've downloaded framaoot ( i know this will sound very clueless but not sure what version, the file name extends off the screen and i had a couple of versions at one point as i was having difficulty installing them via the pc, kept getting parsing errors)
The one I have has the option to install superSU which I've left and both Aragorn and Gandalfexploits. I keep getting error #7. I placed the apk file from my pc onto my phone in the sd card so not sure what the issue would be. I tried the oldest and newest apk files from the xda thread about rooting using framaroot but had parsing errors.
Can anyone give me a bit of advice? It seems like a really simple thing to do in theory just not in practice and it's getting really frustrating that I dont knw how to resolve the errors on framaroot..
thanks

[Completed] invalid OTA package missing scatter when trying to flash a zip file

Hi,
First of all, I am new to the android community and I hope that you will understand that I am writing as a noob.
I'm having an issue with my Chinese smartphone POMP W88A. It was a brand that was making smartphones, but it seems they have stopped producing phones. The phone is running on JB 4.2.2. It is running on MTK6589 processor. Kernel version is 3.4.5. Screen resolution is qHD (960x540). This phone seems like a Galaxy S4 clone. It has touchwiz installed, or I assume that it is touchwiz, even though it wont support the Accuweather S4 widget and other Samsung apps. What I was trying to do - I was going to install the Touchwiz launcher and the Accuweather widget from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259228
It seems that it supports a large number of devices. However, when I rebooted into recovery and tryed to install the zips, I got an error message: Installation aborted. I googled a bit and found that some recoveries demand the zip files to be signed. I signed the zip files, rebooted again into recovery, and this time, the installation started, the progress bar started filling and suddenly it aborts the installation with this error message: "Invalid OTA package missing scatter". I tryed to google how to fix that problem, but I am unable to find a solution. There are some topics on this matter regarding the flashing of ROMs, but I just wanted to flash the launcher and the widget. I also found a topic saying that it might be because the Recovery demands Busybox to be installed, so I also installed Busybox, but the problem is still there. I also tried installing other recoveries via Mobileuncle Tools, but none of them worked, so I swithched back to the factory one, which is called Android system recovery 3e. Anyone have any clue how I can fix this? If there is a way to install zips without rebooting into recovery, I could try that, but I dont know if that is possible.
Here's the link for my phones ROM, maybe it could help you out to understand my issue:

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
About your problem, Chinese copies are not the best choice....
The error which appear to you it's cause also for the fact that you need a custom recovery for it like TWRP or CWM.
If you are able to get root access on your phone you could simply decompress the flashable zip and then push to system the files to their respective folders.
Other ways i couldn't find.
But for futher assistance i suggest you to head over here: Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yeah, I know they are not very stable. I was wondering something: when I reboot into recovery, I dont have an option called Install zip from SD card, like many other recoveries I saw on Youtube have. I only have Apply update from SD Card, Apply update from Cache and Wipe partition data. Maybe that option "Apply update from SD card" that I was trying is ment for installation of ROMs and flashing updates. Im just guessing... So, how could I install CWM? I already checked the TWRP website, but ofc I couldn't find my device on their list. CWM, however, I don't know how it works. About pushing the apks into system/app - I already tried pushing various launchers into system/app and changing permissions, but none of them worked. Last one bricked my phone, so I reflashed the ROM via SP flash tool. Now its working smoothly, but on the other hand, I payed this phone pretty cheap, and I would love to customize it and learn something new about customizing
