I've google searched this to no end and I've tried the other solutions, so I'll ask here.
I tried installing the new google music. System complains it's a system app, but I tell it to install anyway. Tells me "Application cannot be installed in the default location". So I try using Titanium Backup to uninstall (after backing up) the old music app. Then I get "Application still exists." So I try changing setInstallLocation to 0. And it says "Package is not signed correctly."
I have gotten all 3 errors and as far as I know I've tried all possible solutions, but maybe someone can help.
Thanks in advance.

Tried it. Doesn't show up in my app list after a restart. I've deleted music.apk and com.google.music.apk (the original apk), then put the new google music in the folder.
I've also tried installing it in that fashion as well to no avail.
After you put something in the /system you have to change permissions or the app will not show up , link you a photo of proper permissions
Edit : Put the app in system/ first , then long press on it and select permissions, change permissions to match the photo I attached below. After that, Then move the app to /system/app/ , I dont move apps to /system/app/ until after I changed permissions because some apps will constant force close if you replace the apk and the permissions weren't set first, not many apps will but its good practice if you didnt make a backup before changing apk's.

Has anyone managed to get to the bottom of this? I get the exact same on my Galaxy S running CM7.1 and went through this the last update and it's happening again.
I've made sure to remove all files/directories with "com.google.android.music" "com.android.music" and just "music" - obviously be careful not to remove other items. I also cleared both the cache and dalvik-cache, rebooted etc and it still says the application already exists.
Where else could Android be storing app names? I've cleared out the Market data and then checked using SQLiteEditor that the app isn't the Market database files, but I now notice that "Google Music" is listed at the bottom under "Not Installed" as if it thinks it's a paid app!
Fortunately copying the apk into system as you instructed above gets me the app, but even then nothing changes in Market and it still thinks it's "Not installed" unless I force it by using Titanium Backup.

Yes thanks, but that's not the issue. Installing it manually works just fine but at best it's a kludge. Without any signs of the app anywhere on the phone, Market still says it already exists. I'd like to know why so for the next update things work as they should.

Yep, I I accidentally the whole thing. I clicked the wrong button in TIBU.
Anyways, I got the phone yesterday, updated it to 2.3.6, and rooted it, but otherwise left it alone. I just rooted so I could restore my apps from my previous phone with TIBU. I did not restore data. Today, I was trying to fix an issue I was having with accounts and sync, and I meant to freeze it, but I hit uninstall and wasn't paying attention to the prompts, so it uninstalled it. It was backed up, but I can't re-install it. I even found the app's .apk in system/app folder, and tried to re-install it but it will not, it just tries for like a second and then says "Not installed". The option is now missing from my settings menu.
I would really like a way to fix it without having to wipe and re-install the OS, but if I have to I can.
nb4 "did you search?" yes, I did. I couldn't find anything that helped.
Thanks in advance, everyone.
Download a rom for your phone thats2.3.6 and unzip it. Go into system/app and take the apk that u need. Push it to your system/app folder with root explore. Change permissions to the ones on the pic and reboot and u should be good.

I did that, but the Applications and Sync option is not there.
If I did a recovery update to 2.3.6 again, would that fix it perhaps? or will it not let me update it that way since it's already on 2.3.6?

reflash whatever rom you currently have, but don't wipe the data/factory reset. Since the file you need is in the system folder it'll rewrite.

I just ran the 2.3.6 update again. It fixed it, but it turns out that the problem I was trying to fix in the first place which led me to uninstall the app was not a problem at all, it was google locking out facebook sync on nexus S meh, whatever. I only did it for the pictures anyways. Thanks though!
I tried downloading an app from the Google Play Store, and the app(poweramp) was only 3 MB. I sill have 0.99 GB of system storage. But market keeps insisting that I don't have enough space. Any fix?
Only poweramp has this problem, dither apparently can install fine.

You have to download catlog from the google play . Keep it running .. ( don't pause it ) . Go to the market try to download the poweramp again.. Then when it shows the error again. Go back to the catlog and scroll through the logs , you should see a log like cannot create dir com.max .... ( something like that ) then search that folder and delete it from /data/data or data/app ( if u find that dir in both then delete it from both ) through a file browser like root explorer.

it works for me too thanks
I am not exactly sure how I found myself here, but I do have a thought you might wish to consider.
You can have an unlimited amount of space for storing your apps, but as long as your dalvik cache resides on your device, it has a limited amount of storage space to use, so when it fills, you will be unable to install apps from the market. Moving dalvik to an Ext4 SD-Ext partition of a size you choose, might resolve the problem.
No guarantees, just something to consider. Good luck!
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ziqdu0&s=6i too am having this problem, except i deleted the file and still no luck, heres a screenshot of catlog, i narrowed it down to that, but dont know where to go from there, help
Check the /data/app folder. If you have used some kind of patch, it might leave out the odex file. delete that and try installing it from the play store again.

Poweramp is an odex application. ou just have to go to the /data/app folder using root explorer and delete the com.maxmpz.... dex file that is still there even after the uninstallation. The installation should proceed just fine after that.
Wiping davilk cache will do the work
If you don't want to wipe cache/dalvik and you're trying to update simply go to settings>apps>all, find the app that you're trying to update, clear cache (data if you don't care about it,) and try to reinstall the app. Worked for me.
Also deleting your Google account, restarting, and adding it back has worked for me in the past versions of the play store. Seems like it's a problem on Google's end.

The link in that thread was removed but here it is
Installation Option 1:
]
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

I personally used root explorer and changed the original gmail apk to Gmail2.bak (yours may either be in system/app or data/app) mine was in data/app because im using AOSP, for stock touchwiz it might be in system/app. For AOSP its probably going to be named com.gmail.apk or something along the lines of that. Anyways after you delete/rename your original one move the 4.2 Gmail2.apk to system/app, set the permissions and reboot. It MUST be in system/app and you have to set the permissions and reboot for it to work

Use any Explorer( Solid Explorer recommended), go to /data search for that app(say facebook) related files and delete all files you find. Main file that is needed to be deleted is .odex file of that app.
for instance if whatsapp in not getting installed, then files like com.whatsapp.odex , com.whatsapp.apk and all other files related to whatsapp are needed to be deleted.
Install the app again then. It should get installed
If this doesnt solves the problem then you need to do factory reset.

I can confirm this after I've had this problem on both SGS2 and SGS4. The path is root/data/app, though, where you will find the .odex file of your and possibly other apps as the last entries.
