After several programs updated, the chrome icon changed to the generic android icon and the program would no longer start.
It doesn't show up in my apps list or in the package list returned by the adb shell.
Reinstallation from the play store fails with error -110.
Logcat shows me this error
Code:
W/PackageManager( 974): Trying to update system app code path from /data/app/com.android.chrome-2.apk to /data/app/com.android.chrome-1.apk
E/installd( 276): couldn't symlink directory '/data/data/com.android.chrome/lib' -> '/data/app-lib/com.android.chrome-1': File exists
W/PackageManager( 974): Failed linking native library dir (user=0)
W/PackageManager( 974): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.android.chrome-1.apk
I know what this means (I think), but I haven't been able to find out what to do about it.
I'm using an unrooted Moto G with Kitkat 4.4.2 Build number KXB20.9-1.8-1.4
I'd like to make restoring the phone to factory defaults a very last resort.
Try doing a search in file manager and deleting all of the instances of Chrome, and then re-download from the play store.

Chrome is a system app and, unless there's another way, I don't have access to the particular folder stated in the logfile to delete the offending file.

Hi there!
I bought Runtastic PRO when I was using my Sensation with its stock ROM.
Recently I started rooting and flashing my HTC Sensation with this ROM: CM10. (The version from 19th of Oct. 2012)
The rooting was done via HTCdev.com, the Sensation is S-OFF.
Actually, I am using CWM 6.0.0.0, I wiped the cache, data and so on, cleared the Dalvik cache.
The problem, that arises is, that I am unable to (re-)install Runtastic PRO:
The market says the app is now incompatible with my device.
I changed the build.prop so it stated Nexus S, cleared the Store cache before and afterwards, rebooted.
adb install run.apk gives these entries in logcat:
Code:
E/PackageManager( 346): Package com.runtastic.android.pro2 requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps; failing!
W/PackageManager( 346): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.runtastic.android.pro2-1.apk
I was looking around the internet and also here and the solution I found was to put two files from the gapps zips directly into /system:
com.google.android.maps.jar => /system/framework/
com.google.android.maps.xml => /system/etc/permissions/
Afterwards, I fixed the permissions and rebooted the device.
I tried copying the apk directly to /system/app/, fixed permissions and rebooted again, but the App does not show up at all.
Is this a ROM-based problem, a App-based problem or is it my fault?
Surely it's the last one...
Thanks in advance,

The app itself might not be compatible with Jelly Bean. All that other stuff you did shouldn't be necessary.
If installing the APK by itself (not through the Play Store) doesn't let it run, then Android Version incompatibility would be my guess. But it's just a guess without knowing anything about that app.
I am trying to install an App which for some reason will not install in the country I am visiting. The App is a free App, but Google Play has blocked it from downloading into this country. I managed to download the app from the evozi apk-downloader but when I click on it in File Manager it will not install and I get an "App will not install." error.
I would like to try and install the app manually but despite all my searching have not been able to come up with a way to do this. I tried copying the apk file to the system/app directory and rebooted, but that did not work. I then downloaded ZipSigner to sign the apk file and put the created opex file in the system/app folder and rebooted again, but still no results. I've tried some other installers but still unable to get it to install, even when I am offline with my GPS off.
How can I manually install an app to bypass the Google app installer?

did you enabled allow installation of apps from sources other than Play store if not go settings> Security> tick unkown sources and try it again it will surely help..and use the file browser from the phone and find the apk that you want to install n click on it and install
hit thanks button if helped
The app I want to install is FlightAware - I travel a lot, hence my desire to install this app before I return to the USA. I found that the ShopSavvy apk also has this problem. Both of these are freeware but somehow they won't install on my phone. My Google account was created in the USA with a USA address and has a USA credit card attached to Google Wallet, but with both apps I just get a "App not installed." error.
I already have the Unknown Sources - Allow installation of Apps from unknown sources Checked and the Verify Apps - Disallow or warn before installation of apps that may cause harm - Unchecked.
hmm then you sure those apks work correctly sometimes errors occur when its incorrectly or incompletely tampered.. or else try this go to settings> application manager>google play store and clear data and clear cache and do the same in google play services and try again

No, that did not work. I am really looking for a more technical solution to explain how to manually install an opp. Is this not possible in Android?

I am assuming your phone is rooted. If not, then it will be better to root it before going further.
Here is a link you can try:

sometimes this error is for upgrading an app because of same directory
check android > data > ... name of app package u wanna install. if there s something similar to the app delete it.
@3rdstring
an error that related to unknown source setting will appear before installation process.
in this situation he can go throw the installation process but cannot complete it.

Cannot uninstall an app that I downloaded from Playstore
I tried to uninstall the app

3. Via adb

Please see the reference video. Thank you

Scan with Malwarebytes.
Scan app file with online Virus total if you can.
Bad uninstalls don't happen as much on Android as Windows but all it takes is one to screw up the system.
SD Maid might be able to clean it up.
This is a great app for unrooted phones.
If you can't sort it... it will be reload time.
i installed an apk app mod on my Samsung galaxy note 10+. the apk is an older version of the app but when i went to uninstall the app as usual to install the latest release off google play instead of downloading and installing it just installed the previous apk installed from google which i havent seen before. i have tried clearing the data and using app cleaners such as sd maid but its still installing the unofficial version. i also tried to install a newer version of the app from an apk off google and it wont install at all. i believe that after uninstalling the app that some of the files have not been deleted and google recognises these as the correct app files. using sd maid i traced to this path:
/data/app/~~HQ5E7AhU5J2CuBMCGbfjTg==/com.snapchat.android-PWYp8D9k00ttRuj98fIkTA==
im pretty sure this is what needs deleting to get google to download the official version but due to samsungs security rules i cant delete it. i dont want to root or factory reset my phone
any help is much appreciated
That's Snap Chat, is that installed or was it part of the Google app?
Try clearing the system cache from the boot menu.
System apps and systen privileged apps including their daa can only get deleted by ROOT, only deleting their related data can get achieved by a FR.
