I would like to update an apk, (not through market), but the file manger returned a message said the Application is not installed. If I delete the apk, then I can install it, but all the related data are gone. I would like to ask is there any way to resolve this problem next time I update an apk?

Hey guys, I just installed Cynogenmod 4.2.15 on my Mytouch. I tried to update Google Maps however it wouldn't allow me, it kept generating a "package not correctly signed". I heard that by deleting the map app from it's install folder (From the system > apps folder) then trying to download and install it from the market would solve the problem. However, it did not and now I don't even have maps at all. I tried to download the .apk file and installing it then but I just got an error saying "maps could not be installed on this phone".
Anybody know how to get the latest Google Maps to install? Thanks in advanced

Ok, so I have spent the last week searching for an answer to this problem, and I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out and others who may have similar problems.
With a rooted SGS2 and stable CM7 rom, I wanted to install the stock messaging app as I liked the "bubble" GUI better. Further, I found a copy of a camera app with higher bitrates/other improvements that I wanted to install as well. but every time I install them, I get "application not installed" with a check mark.
My method was:
Checked to install apps from unknown sources
Uninstalling old app (after backup)
Copying new apps to system/app to replace
Using root explorer in r/w to install them (didnt work)
So then tried:
Signing the apps using Signaptik/Zipsigner
Changing permissions to same as stock apps
It seems nothing that I try to install in system/app will install. Actually, any of these apps, no matter their location, will not install. Why is this? I'd really like the better camera app and my old mms.apk back!
Cheers!
------EDIT------
The camera.apk I want to install was built for SGS2, the mms.apk I wanted to install is stock from sgs2
Enable non-market apk installation.
Go to Settings – Applications – tick the “Unknown Sources” checkbox at the very top. Accept the warning which pops up by tapping on OK.
If you downloaded the file on PC, transfer it to phone.(sd card)
Open the file explorer (if you don’t have one, download any file manager from the android market) and browse to the location where you’d transferred the file.
Tap on the file to install it.
They won't install because they have dependency on a framework or application that does not exist in CM7.
Try installing them with ADB
adb install <apkname>
It will give you the full error message.
I accidentally deleted the android market app.
First the app flashes on and off, so I try to delete the whole thing, but now I can't install it back. I tried different vending.apk, I got the install progress bar, but at the end I got the error that the app isn't installed.
I also find it strange that (before i install the .apk) i got the notice that this .apk will change the current installed app. It's quite strange because in the app list I can't find the market app.
Can anyone help me with this?
I got sony ericsson Xperia X10 mini, rooted, version 2.1.
Using root explorer/es file explorer go into root directory system/apps and see if the market.apk is located there , try deleting it if present and restart the phone.Then install the vending apk and hopefully it should be a fresh install and not over writing the previous market installed.Hope this helps.
Out of nowhere today I installed an apk and somehow it didn't ask for permission to install or cancel. at the Notification bar there is a message that says: ES APP MANAGER and the icon is two gears, the apk installs automatically and there is not window asking for permission. All subsequent apk's install this way. very dangerous.
How do I troubleshoot this issue? .. I went to tablet settings applications (ICS 4.0.3) and I don't see any app with that above name.
Help is appreciated, regards.
EDIT. Found the culprit. it's the new version of ES File Explorer 1.6.2.4.a
I'm using the same version of es and I noticed this too.
I still get the dialogue sometimes though depending on the apk.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I went back to version 1.6.2.2 and disabled automatic update in settings for this apk and it's working fine. I will see if another update past v 1.6.2.4 will work again.
