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..

Hi!
Apologies in advance, I don't know much about the workings of android, I just follow guides!
I'm trying out my first custom rom, namely gingerclone, and am having trouble getting all my apps back up and running...
Before installing the rom, I backed up all my apps and settings with titanium backup, so I could restore them much easier after the rom change.
Although when I tried restoring them, I had lots of force closes with titanium backup itself, and about half of my apps would immediately FC on opening and didn't have icons. I then uninstalled the problem apps manually in settings>applications, and tried installing via the market. For some apps, it worked fine, but for others, whenever I try to install from the market, my phone reboots when the download is done and it tries installing. Sometimes it won't even download and just gives me errors, and for some they will install, but will not launch, just force close. I've tried cleaning the dalvik cache with titanium backup, and deleting settings files for the problem apps from my sd card, so that as far as I can see, there is no trace of them. But still, random reboots whenever I try installing, or unopenable if I manage to get them to install.
Any idea what could be going on? Plenty of other apps have installed and are working fine, so I'm stumped.
Had the same exact problem trying to install apps with titanium backup.
what i did was just slow down and install each app one by one and wait for each app to completely install before trying to install the next.
trying to download all of them all and once always made my phone reboot like it does to yours.
well hope this helps!
Wel I ended up uninstalling them all and trying to install again from the market, but I can't even get them to install individually now. It seems like trying to restore the backup has put some rogue files somewhere and is messing it up when I try to install the apps...
I have no idea why, but everything has started working again, so problem solved :/
I don't know. That never happened with me

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.

is very easy
edit the GApps from 28, and remove the Maps.apk
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!
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.

I noticed that playstore keeps crashing everytime i try to install an app.
i installed the last rc1 build and it worked fine initially, but since yesterday night, since i installed the last maps, currents, street view etc...
But since this morning i tried to install facebook, and now play store just keeps crashing
Anyone else with the same problem?
i deleted cache and delvik, deletede play store cache. uninstalled updates, tried to install the new jelly bean version but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
tried reflashing the rom over it, deleting delvik and cache, and reinstalling gapps package, no success here.
Try clearing the app data for playstore.

Yes, i forgot to mention it, but it is the first thing that i did...
i removed phonesky.apk from /system/app, installed new apk, didn't help, from the second play store tries to update or download something, it just crashes.
I will wait and try a bit further before considering full wipe... :-(
here's a logcat

Did you try to completely uninstall Play Store then reflash the GApps.zip from recovery?
It sounds like something is glitchy with the app or files associated with it. If you just tried to install new versions over it you might have kept what's causing the problem. So do a full delete of the Play Store.
It can't hurt!
yeah i had tried that, the second the phone booted, the crash notification appeared right away.
I wiped everything except sd card, installed other rom, and so far so good,
i guess i'll wait for the next release of OS...
Yes, this is a straight-forward fail - I am running a CM13-based ROM and flashed a nightly build (has been redrawn meanwhile) onto my N5 without backing up first. Right after the first reboot, I received a "Play Services has stopped working" error message and this keeps appearing all the time. Additionally, the Google Now Launcher has disappeared from my launcher list - and of course, all the Play Services-dependent features don't work, i.e. Chrome, Contacts sync, Play Store and so on. So, my phone basically is useless.
I suspect all the problems arise from the non-working Play Services. I managed to uninstall them after deactivating the Android Device Manager and re-installed the latest version, but this didn't fix the problem. Is there anything else I can try? Or is there no way around a complete wipe?
have u flashed Gapps?
Tried it, but didn't help either. I'll just go for a full wipe now. But thank you for answering!

try clearing Cache and dalvik cache and then delete the host file from "etc" folder!
I should've tried deleting the host file. Wiping Dalvik and Cache didn't work before...
Anyway, I took the opportunity, put my 32GB mainboard in and set up everything from scratch.
Are you using amplify?
No, I didn't use that.
