I've GMail app version 4.2-478 installed on my phone with the stock Android v4.0.4. I'm notified occasionally that there's an upgrade available for the GMail app, but when I try to upgrade it fails with the message "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again" every time. I can't uninstall but only disable the app as it's part of the stock Android.
I haven't seen this error on any other stock apps. Can someone suggest what's wrong here?
Thanks.

You are using a non stock gmail app. You will have to remove it with something like TIBU and reboot then install from the play store

I must say that I'm not very sure of that. All I know is that it's something that came with the phone and I didn't manage to root it. I was hoping there's some solution other than rooting it

The only way this error would come about is if your using anything other then an official version of the apk. What device are you using?

It's not a popular one: Karbonn A9+, bought from India. I do remember that Google Talk was upgraded to Hangouts sometime back...

which mean I click install on my computer, it shows T-mobile LGE LG P-999
but when I click it, nothing transfer to my phone, I am sure my wifi is on and I had tried different apps, still getting the same result
I am thinking the market might consider my phone now is different than the stock rom?

I don't want to make a really long post so I'll get straight to the point:
I own a rooted ALCATEL OT-991d. So today I was scrolling through App Manager when I saw Google Services Framework. So the thing is, after the root, my phone started having errors I didn't have before. My download notifications in the System UI from the Browser and Google Play wont vanish. I'll press clear and after a time it's all going to vanish but after a few minutes or after I open Google Play it just goes back again.
So here's the problem: I thought that Google Services Framework was the culprit (I know that was very stupid of me. Now I know what it is for) so I deleted it. Actually I hesitated and cancelled the operation but it was too late. So I tried looking the solution up, but to no avail. I downloaded 3 types of the said Framework but it wont install. I kept on getting the "Application Not Installed" Error.
So now I did a Factory Reset. So everything worked fine, except for the Setup Wizard. I was able to set the language and such but when I came to the "Set Up Google Account" part, it kept of crashing (because Google Service Framework is already gone) thus a fruitless loop. Now I can't even use my phone at all 'cause I can't bypass the freaking Setup Wizard.
Any tips? I can't buy a new phone at the moment so I'm at my wits end here.
I'm sorry for the long post and if I violated anything, it's because I'm quite new here.
My phone is on Android 2.3.6. I didn't have a chance to check the baseband etc. 'cause I never knew this would happen. But if you guys need it I can check my sister's device since we have the same phone. Thanks!
Update
Okay I found a solution..
I want to install a new ROM but I don't know how. I downloaded something like an Android 2.3.6 ROM and when I try to install it it says the signing failed blah blah. Help? Do I have to wipe the phone of its stock ROM?
Can anyone provide me with a working ROM for Alcatel OT-991d? Stock ROM's fine.
Thanks!

When it says zip verification failed its because you need to install a custom recovery like Clockworkmod or TWRP in order to flash custom ROMs
And Mate, Always do some searching before asking a question! There's already a guide on xda-developers teaching how to flash the stock ROM on Alcatel OT-991d
Anyway, I hope your phone works! Good luck

Ah yes, I did check that thread. It was just for bricked phones.
I was able to fix it. I updated the ROM. I used Alcatel Upgrade S for it. :victory: The sad part is now I have to start all over again 'cause I had to perform a hard reset and I wiped the old ROM.
Lesson Learned: Never delete Google Services Framework

It's nothing worth taking note of, it's just a security patch no Android N!
Yes it comes with January security patch > https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note5-update/
Yes, I don't think we will see that update for a while thanks to Verizon..

So now it's prompting me to install. I don't want to, I want to attempt root if that guy gets back to us. What packages do I need to disable to get rid of update?
So, I disabled the 2 packages called System Updates and then rebooted into recovery and wiped /cache hoping that it will wipe out the contents of the /cache/fota folder. Someone please let me know if I did something wrong or if any additional steps should be taken.
Boring...But good this phone is still getting frequent updates. Really needs some N love ASAP though.
just another security patch

You didn't do anything wrong. Your phone should be fine.
I cannot disable either System Updates app. I even tried downloading Package Disabler Pro and that didn't work either.
I've been deferring updating for days now and it's starting to really annoy me.

You need to get ahold of the guy who owns the app because there's an issue with the way it's trying to stop the updates... The one you're using probably has "com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer" but you need to stop "com.samsung.sdm" and then it'll go away and the only way I got that to work was, he gave me a link to download a completely different one which stopped it. I'm pretty sure his email address is on the package disabler app on the play store.
Also you could load the root kernel so you at least have the console root and use the pm command to disable it if you need help let me know.

Lol thanks but I don't need that.. I was just trying to ask him if he figured it out for himself yet because otherwise the reason that package disabler and other apps aren't working to stop the upgrade nagging is because they decided to change the name from com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer to com.samsung.sdm so when package disabler was stopping (or trying to stop the incorrect name) it just kept nagging until the right one was stopped and technically you don't even need package disabler because you could load up the console root kernel and use the pm disable command and it would do the same thing as package disabler but it's easier and faster to just use package disabler.
I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm on an "old" phone, when I try to download snapchat or some other apps it says my device isn't compatible. I tried to do the APK websites but when its time to install my installing thing says it isn't able to "parse" it. Is there any new like update thingys where my whole LG-P930 can update its software and I'll be able to download snapchat? And how? Please someone help me
No that device is beyond hope.

Can't you download snapchat from Play Store? If not, try to download it from apkpure. Good luck to you.
Btw, I wonder whether your device is able to get the latest update of system software.
That device is very old, you're not going to be able to use Snapchat on it.
Root is needed for TB
1st thing I did was install nova launcher via play store not toolbox.Then I used the toolbox to remove unwanted Amazon stuff. Then I went to TB and made backups of the apps I wanted to uninstall. Then I uninstalled them using TB uninstall system apps..look at attachment below for list of apps I uninstalled. Once U r done do a reboot of your fire tablet.
Brief video showing what I did
Or, since you're already rooted, flash one of the ROMS and do away with Amazon's OS completely. You'll be glad you did.
