While removing some apps I didn't need I accidentally deleter the DSP manager. I Google searched for the APK and found out I could extract it from the original zip file for the rom. I managed to find the APK for it, tried to install and it just says "app not installed" and it never installs. How can I fix this? I liked the DSP manager and want it back.
You need to put DSPManager.apk into /system/app and reboot.
It can't be installed like an ordinary app.
Way 1: Copy the APK to your SD card
Use a Filemanager to move the file to /system/app
Reboot.
Way 2: Connect your phone by USB, enable USB debugging, run...
adb push C:\Path\to\DSPManager.apk /system/app
Reboot.

That didn't work sadly. I'm using a file managed which has root access and what not. Copied to that directory, rebooted and it didn't do anything.

I flashed Cyangenmod 7.1 RC, flashed Frank's Mod to remove all CM7 apps, flashed dark launcher theme.
I copied DSPManager.apk to SDcard prior to flashing Frank's Mod. But it says it can't be installed.
Is there a way to install DSPManager again?
Thanks!
You have to install it back to system/app folder and set permissions if using root explorer or adb push it back. Just hitting install will not do it.

Thanks for the reply.
But how do I do that?
I moved the apk file to system/app, changed Permission (selected RWX for owners) but it still won't install.
It won't let me change permissions at all inside sdcard.
Instructions for installing apk with root explorer:
1. navigate to file and copy apk
2. navigate to system/app
3. tap on r/w at the top
4. paste all apk
5. change permissions to match the other apks's in the system/app directory.
6. Reboot
I'm a HTC Desire S owner. I've problem installing APK files. It shows "There is a problem parsing the package" when trying to install apk files in ES File Explorer. It only happens when the apk files are in SDcard. It don't happen when install apk files which are located in my PC thru WiFi with ES File Explorer. It don't work with ASTRO file manager either. But I can install with AndExplorer and can install from PC (with DroidExplorer). I mostly use ES file manager and wanna install with it. I'm currently using latest version of ES file explorer. I've already checked "Allow installation of non-market apps" in setting. It did not happen with Stock ROM. Happened while using Saga3D, I don't know what I accidently did. I change to new rom 'Virtuous Quattro (ICS) and it still occur. Now I'm on Hyperion and it is still happening. Please help me.

I cannot tell you the reason for this issue, but it's well known. just download the apk on your Pc and put on Sd card then.
And Sometimes you are downloading an corrupted apk, simply download the app somewhere else.
Sent by my fingers to your head.
They say this error is likely attributed to:
1) Some strange apk not fit for the device. so, try downloading compatible apk.
2) Problems with Dalvik cache. try wiping cache & dalvik cache.
The reason for this is that the app is not downloaded completely. The download may have been interrupted on your phone due to some reason. On PC, the apps are downloaded uninterrupted, so no parsing error.

Thanks. Good to know

This occurs in case of corrupted downloads, where the file is shown as completely downloaded but actually some bits are lost while downloading. Very common when the downloading is done on the phone itself. Try downloading via PC and then transfer the apk to the sd card and you should be fine. I came across this when downloading an apk from the xda site itself (in the app development forum i think) and everytime i tried downloading on the phone, i got a parsing error... but as soon as i downloaded on PC and transferred it to phone, it installed right away!
I'm sure APK file is not corrupt. I can install with AndExplorer but not with ES File Explorer. I reinstalled ES File Explorer, but still not working.

Well then i guess you can say goodbye to ES File Explorer and stick to AndExplorer if this solves your problem!
Whatever works for you man! At least you found a workaround...I used to go crazy when i got these parsing errors!!!
Or try a different memory card. I have a Kingston micro-SD which gave me sleepless night awhile.
apk Problem
Have tried to check your Android Minimum SDK Version you have at your Program ??
Check this file and check your device
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="19"
android:targetSdkVersion="20" />
I have faced this problem with old versions , and resolved it by changing the appropriate minSdkVersion

APK installation Astro File Manager issue
For me, the APK installer in Astro File Manager doesn't work atm.
I see a brief scanning popup window but then it disappears.
Until they fix it, it's best to avoid launching APKs from Astro File manager.
If you think your APKs installs are using Astro File manager as the default app, you need to clear it.
On a Samsung Galaxy S7, I had to
1. Settings > Applications > Application manager
2. More (Reset app preferences)
3. If you have Samsung Kids Mode installed, you need to run and reconfigure it (if you don't you'll get annoying popups because Kids Mode app is now unstable until you reconfigure it)
4. Return to ES File Explorer and launch the APK (if there are still issues, continue to step 5)
5. Go back to Application Manager (i.e. repeat step 1)
6. More (drop down menu on top right) > Show system apps
7. Scroll down and locate Package Installer
8. Set as default
9. Try again

You have most probably messed the systemUI.apk which is located in /system/app or files associated with it. Did you remove any other apk's in which you weren't sure what it does?
In this case, Factory reset won't work because it just wipes user data and /system partition remains in tact. The nearest possible thing to do is to flash a stock ROM if exists or copy the deleted apk's borrowing from some one else's phone and place those apk's in /system/app partition setting the correct permission.
I remember exactly what I deleted. I I uninstalled Dhingana.com, Facebook and Rail yatra. I cannot start third party apps though I can install them. So I am not sure how to place the systemUI.apk in the directory /system/app. Can it be done through inbuilt file manager?

Nope, I guess not possible through default file manager. You have to use ES File Explorer File Manager or Root Explorer to place it in /system/app and change its permissions to rw-r-r.

I tried replacing systemUI.apk to \system\app folder using esexplorer but i got error. error: copy failed.
is there a possibility I can get hold of a stock rom and flash it using update from SD card. the default android update manager?

Make sure you've mounted the /system partition as R/W before attempting to Copy or setting permissions.

now how do i do that ? sorry for my questions.
It took me a while to figure out that the bast**ds had built in the malware in the firmware, with the launcher. Phone is rooted, and I have changed the launcher. But I can't delete the malware apks inside system/app.
They are named as com.google.hardware.ext0.apk, and another similarly named (android air, and measure too)..
Problem is, I can't delete them, I tried using ES File Explorer (yes, root is enabled. I can delete, change other files in system/app but for this) I am denied permission!!
Then I tried the terminal emulator.. after getting SU.. tried deleting them using RM and then 'busybox rm..' both failed. What to do? How to delete the f****ng malware files??
(If I switch on the WiFi, malware automatically downloads more crap, then I can't even switch off Wifi and Data! Hence I formatted the phone and have not entered any sim or wifi settings... but I can't delete the damn files!! Any suggestions please?? Going crazy here)
regards
If you could install a custom recovery to flash a zip that delete this app...
Try a Root System App Deleter or, boot in recovery mode and remove it via ADB
I'm trying to convert an app to a system app by placing it in /system/system/priv-app. I'm rooted using Magisk, but otherwise running completely stock Pie, with stock recovery installed. Here's what I've tried:
1. Using Magisk's Terminal App Systemizer module. This was the first approach I tried.
2. Using ES File Explorer to move the folder and change permissions.
3. Using Link2SD to make app into a system app.
4. Booting into TWRP using Fastboot, then using TWRP's File Manager to move the app into the /priv-app folder and set permissions.
5. Following the directions here to place the .apk directly into the root of the priv-app folder.
6. Following the directions here to make a folder for the app inside of /priv-app through adb shell and placing the .apk inside that folder.
Each time I've done this, when I try and reboot my phone it hangs during the boot sequence on the G logo with a little loading bar at the bottom. After a little while, the phone will automatically reboot into recovery and prompt me to either do a factory reset or try again (trying again causes a bootloop). I can boot back into the bootloader using the hardware keys and use fastboot to get TWRP running. From there, if I delete the .apk inside the /priv-app folder my phone will boot as normal. Note that I've had to sideload the OTA image when I used Magisk/Link2SD to systemize the app, as I couldn't find the app inside the /priv-app folder at all.
I've tried 2 different APKs with the same result. I make sure to set the proper permissions before rebooting, but it would appear that I'm doing something wrong with the .apk, since the problem goes away as soon as I delete it from the /priv-app folder.
Any help? What am I doing wrong?
