So, I've tried getting 6.0 on my kang CM9 builds, with no luck. There was a quasi-guide in the themes/apps section, but it didnt fix the issue.
Basically, we're stuck at 5.11, and it gives "Package is not signed correctly" error.
Anyone have any recommendations? I'm getting frustrated by this.
i tried the following with no luck:
In TtnBackup, I converted maps to user app, then detached from market.
Then I tried mkt doctoring, uninstalling, and reinstalling with no luck.
I also tried uninstalling while it was still detached, with no luck as well.
I get the package signing error every time, regardless of what I do.

I feel your pain--I messed around with that for 2 days before I fixed it, but the user app conversion worked for me. I didn't detach it from the market or anything, though. The info I followed is below, although you probably already tried it without detaching.

save it
then install the GApps, now you can install G maps 6.01 from market
another way simply do not install GApps at all, and only install Android Market 3.3.12 and then install everything else manually
Thanks for your attempts at helping, but they simply don't work. I guess I'm gonna have to start over with a fresh install, which sucks.
I tried flashing gapps without Maps, then installing -------> Error -8
I tried removing using the TtnBackup Method ------> simply reverts to 5.11 stock app.
Define "uninstall", because when you "uninstall" a gapp such as Maps, then it doesnt uninstall at all. It simply reverts back to the original version. If you literally get the apk off the phone, as I did in the first attempt, you'll STILL get an error, this one being "-8", whatever that means.
Yeah, when I was having issues the flashing without the maps apk didn't work for me either. Did you try deleting the maps data and then converting/uninstalling in TB? I thought I saw something mentioning to delete the data for the maps app first in TB and then uninstalling but I can't remember if that was it or not. I ran through the same problems--first the sign error and then the -8 error and then the user app conversion worked.

Interesting......good to hear you had the same -8 error. I'm gonna reflash gapps w/Maps and start the process over and make sure I delete any data and kill the app beforehand. Hopefully this time it'll work.
EDIT: Still no go. I'm starting to think the issue is with converting to user app. Despite doing this (and it took about 15 secs), when I select uninstall, it warns me that Maps.apk is a system app, blah blah blah. Maybe it's not even converting it? How can I tell?
The only other thing I tried to do that I can remember was somewhere in the process I tried to install the 6.0 apk from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132 (the zip file) but I don't think it worked and then I did the user conversion and then it worked. Sorry, I don't remember exactly what I did to get it working. Bleagh!

I am having issues updating my Facebook. I get the error that the package wasn't signed properly. I even tried uninstalling it with titanium and trying a fresh install, which also results in error. Any suggestions?
Have you tried installing from the market?
Yes, sorry of this was unclear. The errors I'm getting was trying to install a trying a fresh copy after unstalling with TB and also just trying to update
Hey there. I have been trying to resolve the "Package File Invalid", so one of the things i read here on xda said uninstall updates for the android market. I did this, and it installed Google Play completely. I tried flashing a package with the google play market version 3.4.6, but it force closes as soon as I open it. Can anyone help me? :3
I'm not sure if applicable in your circumstance but whenever I start having issues with force closes I reboot into CWM and clear my cache & Dalvik (under advanced) then "goback" & check reset permissions & reboot PHONE .....NOT Reboot Recovery. So far, it's worked like a champ every time for me.
When does it say "Package File Invalid" ?
may Reboot Recovery
It said Package File Invalid when I was downloading Draw Something Free. But thats not the point, I deleted Google Play off my phone and need to know how to get it back.
The point is that the invalid signature error usually comes from either having a broken/warezed/older version already installed, or the download corrupting.
So the signature from the update/download doesn't match what is already installed or has just been downloaded.
Your problem now is that you probably just removed the market but not the other apps it depends on on.
So either restore exactly the market version you removed or flash a new version plus the matching versions of its dependencies.
I've tried flashing both version 3.4.7 and 3.4.6, and they both force close as soon as I open them. Can you show me how to make it work, or tell me how to get it from stop force closing?
I would suggest a nandroid backup and a complete factory reset.. chuck on a custom (up to date (ics) rom) while your at it

Thats the exact reason I haven't yet. I have installed a custom rom and stuff already
I too am having the issue with all apps after 260 apps installed. I noticed that when I uninstall one app I can install a app that had said "package file invalid" two minutes earlier. Its weird.

I have had this problem before, the cause for me was that I was using g a DNS changer. Uninstalled it and that fixed it for me.
Sent from my XOOM using Tapatalk
I don't have a DNS changer installed. I'm using MIJJZ Blend 2.3 and everthing before 260 installed fine, but now I have to uninstall a app to install a app.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Then the only other thing I can think of is clearing data/cache as per http://www.thespicygadgematics.com/2011/12/fix-android-package-file-is-invalid.html

I had tried that before. I've been bouncing between Darkstar 1.0.2 and Blend 2.*. I have experienced this issue on all Blend builds and never had the issue on Darkstar. Its weird the first time I had the "package file is invalid" error I was reinstalling my backedup apps. It happened ony on 3 apps(gosms, titanium backup, bunny shooter) and everything else installed fine. 2nd time gosms and titanium backup installed fine, but other apps wouldn't install. The funny thing about it is one of the first apps had the error, but I still installed 30+ apps after that. I've wied and reinstalled Blend 2.3 3 times and this last time I got every app reinstalled and even a few more before the error. I uninstalled one app and installed one app that had previously failed. So I tried uninstalling 3 big apps(angry birds trilligy) and still can't install a 588 kb app. I can't install a single app now. Debating on flashing stock kernel, but really don't want to loose cwm.

I have my bone stock VZ GS3 that got the official OTA for JB 4.1.1.
Since the update whenever I launch Navigation it will open, location lock, get desired directions, and usually crash within a few minutes.
I think it has something to do with Maps because when I check the Play Store, a lot of other GS3 users have been complaining of similar issues since the update.
Now is there anything that can be done on my end to possibly help? Or am I just stuck waiting for an update to the app?

sorry about that.
Anyone have any ideas?
bump?
No one else with this problem stock?
Talked to a couple friends today who are on other ROMS and Nav/Maps works fine for them
Have you tried going into application manager, force stop, and clear data? If that doesn't work, I would reboot into recovery, wipe caches, and fix permissions,
I had a similar problem and this worked for me,

I have not tried that. Ill give it a shot, thanks!
I cant say ive experienced that exact problem, but since the OTA i have had a bunch of other bugs that werent present prior to the update. Many threads online about them also. Factory reset has helped some, but not all.
So I think the issue is still related to the JB update.
I did what HHF2 suggested and it didnt help. I have a couple friends running the latest milestone ROM from AOKP and their Maps/Nav works just fine.
So I rooted, unlocked, and ROM'd to the same one....only to continue to get force closes, to the point where within 2 blocks today, it closed 6 times..
Talking to one of the friends tonight, I found out that they never installed the official JB OTA, they went from ICS to the AOKP JB ROM. So that is bringing me back to think that something in the update screwed things up
Ok sooooooo
I flashed back using Odin to bone stock 4.0.4 Then rooted/unlocked BL/CWM. Then flashed the AOKP ROM and Gaaps, Nav/Maps STILL crashes
idk wtf is up
Try all of the following
Clear data for Maps
Clear data for Google Services Framework
Uninstall and Reinstall Maps and Naviation
Fix Permissions (custom recovery > advanced)
You could download an .apk for an older version of maps/nav to confirm if it's the latest release.
If all of that doesn't work and you still get Force Closes, then something deeper is going on. Download a logcat script capture (I use aLogCat) and post your results after replicating the FC. Hope this guidance helps you in some way. GL.

Did the 4 bullet points in that order. So far, things seem to be a bit better, but it still says "searching for GPS" but at the same time I dont get great service inside my house. So tonight when I head out ill see if I can get a GPS lock on.
Even before when it was "searching for GPS" I could move the map around zoom in/out and it would force close after just a few seconds. Its better because I can scroll around and it hasnt closed yet.
Thanks
Glad to hear there is some improvement!
Download an app called GPS Status. It will tell you how many Satellites you're locked onto, and you can download the aGPS patch fix.

Well now that I'm out of the house it has FC on my twice within 3mins
Think I'll try an older version APK. Any idea where to start my search for that?
I went back and read the GS3 reviews on Maps in the play store and a lot of ppl have the same issues
Sounds like it may be a bug in the latest version of GMaps.

I went to that site and downloaded a .zip file of a previous version. Do I just load the whole .zip file from CWM? I didnt see (may have missed it) any APKs, they all seemed to be market links or .zip
I also just installed aLogCat. Booted Navigation and after it crashed I opened LogCat and it said "reading logs, please wait" and nothing ever happened.

I assume you just need to unzip the file and there's an apk in there.
For aLogCat, make sure you hit the play button first off. Also, go into settings and make sure the level is set to "verbose"
Sent via SGS3 using Tapatalk
Already tried unzipping it but there are no APKs in there.
For aLogCat, it was already set to verbose and when I open the program it says its running and only has the "pause" button. If I hit pause, I can then hit play, but it doesnt do anything again.
Google Maps APK Links:
http://www.androiddrawer.com/6632/download-maps-6-12-0-app-apk/#.USKzelqY5b0
Current version is 6.14.2, if you look on the right-hand side you can see different versions. This link is for the last major release, 6.12.0.
I recommend clearing Google Maps data, uninstall, then install using the prev version release apk. If the FC's stop, then we can confirm that the problem is a bug in the latest update to the app. Good luck :good:

Did all that and installed both 6.12 and 6.10 versions with no luck
I honestly think its something with the JB update and not just Maps.. but then again idk why mine didnt work after using Odin to go back to 4.0.4
The screenshot below is just 5 of the most recent ratings for Maps on the GS3
Alright this has happend a couple times in the past to and I did not think much if it. It has began happening again ever since I flashed the latest Mahdi ROM. Now it might be a problem with the ROM but It has happend with many other ROMs as well. I was wondering if there is some sort of fix...When I go to open the Stock Downloads application it always say "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped working" now I can download everything fine but I just can't open the application. I tried going to the app and clearing the cache but that did not do much...any help would be appriciated.
Try reinstalling gapps
Hi,
Have you deleted or froze (with Titanium Backup for example) some system apps?
Because this has happened to me when I froze, don't remember exactly, some files like:
Code:
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
SharedStorageBackup.apk
BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk
And maybe one or two others..., sorry I can't be more precise because now I don't use DowloadProviderUI.apk (deleted), the stock download app if you prefer. Did you flashed the Gapps, if yes which ones?
Im gonna try and re install the gapps now, I did use bloatware remover to get rid of some apps. Im using the pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.2-20131230-signed gapps...
clear data for the app in the main phone settings, apps, all..
Hey guys and gals I've been fighting with this issue for a while and can't seem to find a way to fix it. I'm running the newest nightly for CM12 via safestrap and I've done a complete wipe and fresh install and I still can't install facebook. Tried clearing the data and cache from the google apps that were recommended via other threads.
This morning I did an entire wipe, installed stock, rooted, installed Facebook successfully, then installed Safestrap, made a new slot, installed CM, and facebook fails on install. Tried installing via Playstore as well as manually with the APK and both fail basically the same way though when doing the APK it doesn't give the 504 error.
So I'm hoping someone out there has another idea of something to try, in the interim I've been running Facebook lite, which works but notifications are unstable for me. It would be easier if I could run the normal app but it's been fighting me at every turn.
Thanks
Luke
Did you try pasting the .APK directly in /data/app and setting appropriate permissions?
Alright I figured I'd come back to this since I did end up finding a solution. I didn't try pasting the APK direct since I had read of some issues with guys doing that and having to wipe the device and I didn't want to have to do that. So I ended up using Titanium backup to backup the copy from the stock rom install that was working, and then restore it into the CM12 install and it worked. Wouldn't update via Play Store but it did work to get a functional install.
So if other guys find this thread down the road, this might be a way to make it work.
Take care!
Luke
I don't know why it wasn't working when you tried to install the apk, but sometimes happened to me something similar. I wasn't able to install any app from the PS, it always trow me an error, I don't remember the exact number, but if it wasn't 504, is really close. The only workaround was to delete my Google account and format data, and when it turned on I skipped the Google first startup wizard and went straight to the play store, and when it prompted to log on, I did and worked flawless. Glad to know that you already fixed it, but this workaround may help someone else
