How do I get the apps installed?

You mean the market was not installed? Or apps are failing? Give more details on what you need help with.

I'm not sure if the OP is a troll, or just stupid... How hard is it to give ACCURATE information on what you are trying to do.
Trolled. Perhaps.
Troll or not , I have had this issue when trying to update apps. I haven't really figured out what's causing apps not to load. I get "app not installed, no usb or SD card found".
Ill be vague just like the op. Here's what you do clear cache and defaults on the market.

Yeah, I've had the same problem, but usually just trying to update the app again works (at least, for me).

I get it when the download interrupts and the file is corrupted. So it can't install. I usually just redownload and its fine.
Try unmounting ur SD card, then installing. I had a problem awhile back with specific apps and that fixed it.

I am having the same problem and it is driving me insane. I have cleared cache in the market. I have rebooted, reflashed, reset to factory, Took out the SD card, put it back in, unmounted it, booted without it.
It doesn't matter what rom I flashed as I have tried several. I just restored my phone with CWM to a backup I made right after I first rooted and the market still doesn't work.
Are you rooted?? Its most likely a bad previous install that needs to be removed first which can be quite troubling because some show that they aren't installed when in actuality they are just not properly. IF YOU ARE ROOTED try using Titanium Backup Root to remove the bad install.

yeah, I am rooted. have been for a while. I have flashed and used several roms/ kernals etc. The thing is, even if I reset the phone to factory it still does it. I went into Titanium, what or how do I find a bad install?? Is there something to look for?

Possibly the ROM's included the app but have a bad install inside the ROM. I seen this issue with a couple apps specifically FLASH PLAYER. Which app are you having issues with?? When in Titanium Backup go to the Backup/Restore section and it should show all of your installed applications..scroll to see if the application you are trying to install is on the list...if so uninstall it. If this doesn't work its possible there is a previous apk file on your phone of this app which is corrupting the download which can be removed with an app like "ROOT EXPLORER" unfortunately it costs money. To do that you would venture into the system/app folder and delete the apk file if in fact there is one in there. To check to see if there is one most file explorers will allow you to go into these folders but you cannot access anything.

I have Root Explorer. Thanks. seems this is a common problem after searching google. No know solution as everyone has got theirs to work doing something different. I have not made any backups with Titanium as the roms I have used auto re-installed everything. I am wondering if it has something to do with that. Any time I flash a rom now, it says "starting download" for all my apps in the market. They never start though.
it's working now. not sure what I did though. I wiped everything and flashed BAMF remix (what I was using originally) and when I went through the setup I did everything like I did before. Only thing I changed when swapping roms was I would not set up my HTC account in the setup.
I'm not rooted (yet!) and I've been having the same problem with the market for the last two days. Probably half the apps I bought/downloaded hung on authorizing. When finally authorized it took quite a while to download and show under my apps. One took almost an hour to show up. Email notifications were also delayed. Tried clearing the cache but that didn't help...

Hi.
Ok, so check this out. Every time I flash a new ROM, I need to go into the MARKET and install all my apps (i don't use many, so it's not that time-consuming).
One day, I installed this GO LAUNCHER. When I flashed my rom again, in some magical way, all my apps were downloaded and installed (NOT restored, but re-installed fresh).
I do not know how the Go Launcher did this, since this happens before I even to to the market and install it after a fresh rom. Magic!
In any case, this stopped happening for some reason when I did my last flash (Weapon).
My question is - is there an APP that does this?
Again, i do NOT wish to RESTORE my apps. I wish for the MARKET to download all the apps was using (FRESH install them).
Is there a way to do this without GO Launcher?
Thanks
Whats supposed to happen is that Android is supposed to automatically download and reinstall your apps. The problem is that it doesn't always work. In fact, it has never worked correctly. Its really a hit or miss.
I think the reason is because everytime you do a fresh install of Android, it includes an old version (usually 2 or 3 versions back) of the Android Market. So the first thing it does is upgrade Market and I believe that is where it messes up with the restoring of apps.
ICS has supposedly fixed this issue.

THANK YOU!!!
Best way I've found is to make a backup of whatever rom you are on with all your apps and do a selective restore for the Data only from cwm, should put everything back including your google account.
I've done it many times between roms and have had no noticeable issues, but I can't guarantee you won't.
I haven't checked with a fresh rom install but i believe titanium can now push the updated version of software into the rom.
Meaning on your list you would see two listings of gmail.. The old and then the updated. If you pushed them into the rom and did a nandroid i wonder if the newer version of the app stays.

After I installed cyanogen mod 7 I no longer have android market to acess, not sure if that should happen. Also I backed everything up with titanium backup but it is no longer on my phone cause i wiped it. Can someone help me through getting back android market and all my old apps?
Likely need to flash gapps ... Google apps, should be a download available where you got ROM
I just downloaded the newest nightly build, idk if i should have downloaded something before if you could help out

Please search before opening a new thread. It is a well known fact that CM roms do not include any Google apps at all. Find the proper zip file for your rom and flash it.
Wiping your data will also not wipe you back ups as they are saved to your sdcard..the only way they would have been deleted is if you manaully deleted them off your sdcard

Come on dude do some research and stop spamming, gapps is literally inn the thread you got the ROM from (assuming you didn't use ROM manager)

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.

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.

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.

Hey guys,
I'm running Lollipop on my nexus 5 and totally hate the new Gmail app for various ui reasons. The rest of the OS I generally like. I'd like to downgrade to the previous 4.9 version of the app to get the old ui back, but just simply trying to install the apk doesn't seem to work. Since it's a system app, I was thinking about replacing the apk with root Explorer. What do you guys think? Possible to do?
Does the install fail? As with all previous versions, they've been installable.
You may just have to learn to live with it though or find an alternative app.

Yeah the install fails. I figured it out though. First what I did was freeze the original app through titanium backup, and then it allowed me to install the old version. Has been working great since. Renaming the app in the system and then trying to install the old version didn't work - it installed, but just crashed right away.

Oh. I didn't realise you still had the other version.
Yeah you can't have two apps the same. Its not based on package name either. So you can rename them all you want but that won't work

Well I uninstalled all updates to the lollipop version (5.0) and then tried to rename the gmail apk in the system so the system wouldn't recognize it anymore. That removed the app and allowed me to install version 4.9, but after installing all it did was crash. I undid my changes and then tried to freeze the app in TB, which worked and allowed me to install version 4.9apk, which works great now. And then I just told the market not to update it to 5.0. I'm a fan of the older design on this app. Much more usable. The rest is okay and I like the new design.
Android likes to wait until ram is full. Then it clear ram when it needs it. This leads to lag since unlike iOS the ui is on the same thread(stupid). Also, android uses garbage collection which uses more ram unlike arc.
So, clearing processes does help but then it just builds up again.
With keyboards running at 40mb and gmail at 60mb this is only going to get worse.
There is also cache clearing that might help... But which cache doesn't lose settings? I'm also beginning to think that a lot of photos can slow things but I don't really know why since that should be static storage and nothing to do with RAM
I would really like to know how you managed to install gmail version 4.9 on lollipop... I have a oneplus one and I just got the paid version of titanium backup to try what you said worked for you - freezing gmail then installing a 4.9 APK, and while it looks like the freezing worked, when I try to install 4.9 it just says "App not installed".. no details or anything else. What else can I try?

Have you tried rebooting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache and then trying to install and old version. I don't have a reason for an older version and right about now I don't really want to have to restore a backup if I bork it doing that

Congrats! Just saw this. Glad you got it to work. I've sort of given up /in to Google at this point since my note 4 is not rooted. If it was I would downgrade again. Hope others find this thread still useful.
