I tried updating google maps today and it kept saying the package was not signed correctly. Upon researching the issue, I decided to delete the Maps.apk and Street.apk from system/app and trying to install from market after reboot. I tried to install and I got the code "unknown error code during application installation "-8"". I tried to move the downloaded apk from cache to system/app and renaming it Maps.apk and rebooting and that didn't work. When I try to hit install, it asks me if the permissions are ok, I hit install and it says application was not installed. I've deleted the com folders and every trace of maps I could find through root explorer to try to start fresh and no such luck. Can anyone help out?
Use the non signed version, it has always worked for me, but don't install it as a regular app, just copy the Maps.apk to system/app , change permissions to rw--r--r and reboot, all the applications should appear...
most like its because the modded rom you flash uses the unsigned version so it can't be updated. If I were you I would have stick with the unsigned version. If you don't want to reflash, you could extract the unsigned map.apk from the rom you flash and manually install it. It SHOULD work.

I have a few APK's that when in the rom Force Close They work fine when manually installed, its just when adding to the /data/app fodler they force close. I have tried copying the dalvik-cache file associated with the apk but its the same thing. Can someone please tell me a more proper way to install these files by using a update script or is there a file im missing?

The update script is failing because you have modified system files that it expects to find (specifically Google Maps) in the /system/app directory. Downloading Maps from the Market won't help you, because you have to put a copy that will match the CRC check for Google Maps in the /system/app folder, and the Market download copy goes into /data/app and has a different name, crc, etc.
You need to get a clean copy from a 2.3.1 ROM that hasn't been modified in any way and put it back in /system/app.
You could also edit the updater-script to skip that file... Check out this thread, start reading around post 184 to the end and you should be able to figure it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923705&page=19

i have delete my market and i have try some kind of method to slove it....
when i put Vending.apk Into system/app/Vending.apk
i cannot find Vending.apk when i use root explorer
what can i do to install the market...
are you trying to install the vending.apk itself? I thought that once you put it in there it was supposed to show up automatically?
I accidentaly deleted my market when I had my captivate, and no matter what I did, I could not get the market to come back to my phone. The only way I fixed it was by flashing a new rom onto the phone. For some reason it could not find vending.apk when I placed it in the folder.
Hi:
I tried to update my Market to 2.3.6 following this method:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-new-android-market-2-2-6-on-your-device/
but although I got it, after a few seconds it fails with FC every time.
Any idea?
As long as you've signed into the market originally then any flashed market should work. Not at my PC so search for gapps or pendos blue market, for example

(Preface for noobs : /system and /data are two different partitions. Freeying up /system won't get you more intrenal memory, but /data does. Old apks rest in /system and updated versions placed in /data. You can replace the old apks using newer versions)
I heared Titanium Backup PRO does something like, but you can do this with any File Explorer with ROOT access. Its works 100% for Android Gingerbread 2.3.x , try on other versions.
### Do it on your own risk, I am not responsible for anything ###
1. Update the desired app to the latest version from Google Play Store
2. Open File Manager, Enable ROOT_ACCESS, remount /System as writable
3. Goto /system/app and backup the desired apk to sdcard
4. Goto /data/app and copy updated apk
5. Paste into /System/app
6. Note down the filename of old apk and delete the old apk
7. Rename the new apk into the old filename
8. You may encounter a FORCE CLOSE if the app was running in background
9. The updated apk in /data/app will be removed automatically
10.Restart your device, Done!
I replaced Playstore, Maps, Google Search ect..
Example: For PlayStore, updated apk will be com.android.vending-1.apk, and old apk is vending.apk
Hit thanks it it works, Thanks
thanks, nice guide! All is ok (PlayStore, Terminal Emulator), but if I merge last version of "Google Play Service", then Gmail or Maps shows the message "Unknown issue with Google Play services" when I open them... do you know how to solve? thanks in advance
p.s. configuration in signature
Better use Link2SD. It makes the integration of updates into system seamless. Rebooting the device is optional (restart only if you encounter errors).
thank you for your suggestion! I tried TitaniumBackup but it gives me the same error, then now I'm trying with Link2sd and it works well, BUT the new apk file is in system/app instead of system/priv-app, and its name is "com.google.android.gms-1.apk" instead of "PrebuiltGmsCore.apk"... can this create some problems in future?
EDIT: I tried moving to the priv-app folder and renaming the apk to be identical as before and it seems to work... for now...
It's the package name, it won't create any problems. There is no need to rename the app to match the old one. Default location when converting to system app is in /system/app. I don't know if you can change the location, but you can move it manually to /system/priv-app thru root explorer. Just restart the device afterwards to eliminate FC errors.
