Problem parsing package

In trying to install the YouTube apk on my android tablet. There's a pre loaded YouTube app on it but I think its causing a problem. Every time I try to install it it says ' there was a problem parsing the package'. Can someone help?

Do you have the logcat of what the Package Manager said?

That error is usually caused when the download isn't complete, I.e. the file is not proper...
That said, if you were sideloading the app, and you believe that you have the complete file (.apk), then you can uninstall the original app, and place the new app in system/app, give appropriate permissions and reboot...
You need root acces for the abobe, and the method in general is referred to as the root explorer method...

So I need to give it root access and then try to install the apk again but in the system app section? And to add there is this app on there called "video player" it basically functions like the Google YouTube app but not as good. But sometimes when I go to see the not-yet-installed YouTube apk on my SD card it has the "video player" icon. I don't have any problem with sideloading any other apk on there so could that be the problem?

For some reason some app doesnt work for me too, so i get problem parsing package . I used to have parsing package problem with flash player on my atrix4g then after some time i installed it and it worked good im not sure if its coz they fixed anything thro updates or it just coz i made some changes into my device i still can't download google books on it but my friend who has the same device and android version can. what im trying to say is you could try older versions of the app or if you really need it you can install custom rom , btw i can't install youtube either on my atrix i still work with an old version that came with the stock .

Generic youtube app provided by manufacturer causing OFFICIAL one to never install. *simplified*

How old is the atrix? Sounds strange if you cant even install google books. Maybe that could be a problem with the phone, not just older software.

Barclays bank app running on rooted phones

The Barclays mobile banking app was working on rooted phones until the last update, there is a few work around but the easiest way is to install the last update & unclick auto update in Google play. This is for anyone who has already made the mistake & updated already I can help.
Please don't mirror the download, if you wanna include this in your post just include the link to my post, thanks.
1. Uninstall your app.
2. Download the last working update below.
3. Open & update via a file manager (something like root explorer)
4. & the most important thing.... thank me on this post (Optional) :thumbup:
5. (Optional) Give the bank app a email or comment on Google play so we might get future updates for Rooted users like I did!
Barclays banking app version 1.3.3
Download link-

Enjoy & click thanks or like if this helps
Also there is another method available here by another xda member, the link for his page is here if you would rather use his way go here-

EDIT: [sarcasm]Yeah thank him for re-uploading a file some 1 else already posted in the other thread and not even posting how to make the 1.3.3 app work as it still needs to be "installed" correctly.[/sarcasm]
So what if i backup my own version and upload it here, is that mirroring, Lol what a stupid thing to say. It's not like it's your app.
EDIT 2: Don't forget to thank this guy " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43287742&postcount=213 " for being the first to post the 1.3.3 APK
Not trying to be *****y but this guy doesn't deserve credits for just uploading a APK which was posted 2 pages back in the above thread and he clearly knew about that thread as has posted in it, The guy i linked above who uploaded it first deserves thanks and so do i for putting the small guide together and so do the people who i gathered the information from.

He does deserve credit & if anyone wants to use his way they can go there, I'm just helping out like we do here on Xda forums, I had the same problem after updating & used my own solution which I provided in post 1, uploaded your own apk isn't mirroring, all my info was my own also my apk. You don't need the guide to make this work like you did, you just unclick auto install & use the 1.3.3 version like I did, I reinstalled mine from titanium after I found the new update unusable on my rooted device.

Your method will only work if they already had the data for the app, but yet there is no mention of this, Fresh install will require the above guide and considering there is no mention of "having to have it installed before" or "how to fix barclays mobile banking app" then it implies that this will make it work on rooted phones just by downloading your APK when this is simply not the case.
Also i know uploading my own apk isn't mirroring however technically it is as the CRC would be identical on both APK's and it seems kinda stupid saying don't mirror but yet they can easily upload the same APK and you wouldn't know.

Changed step 4 to optional due to the comments lol.

You can't find the app or the apk? If you can't find the app try a reboot? Or do you mean you can't find the apk? It should be in your downloads folder?

I cant get the Barclays mobile app to work on my rooted experia z does anyone know if this method still works?

I tryed to install this old version of apk but it doesnt work on rooted phone

@ x7nofate did you try this way which I wrote under here? Or may be if you clear the cache of the app? It will work?
@ xjacko the app still works on my rooted s3
Try install from the market, then open it up, it will say not supported on rooted phones or something like that, then Uninstall it, then download my link & copy it over to your phone, now find it via a file manager app (root explorer, es manager or something like that), install it (or push it to data/app via manager app & then reboot the phone) & then enjoy barclays bank app on a rooted phone, it's the version before so tick don't auto install from the play store or it will update next time you use wifi or mobile data. Or you can also use method 2 in this post by another xda member? Hope this helps you :thumbup:

Please help, I installed the Barclay's app 2 days ago and today I uninstalled it and copied your modified apk to data/app but after copying and restarting my phone the play store auto updated the app.
Now I have barclays-1 and barclays-2 apk in data/app . I've tried deleting my cache and dalvik cache and installing then reuninstalling the official app
I then tried installing the modified apk and restarting but the app won't appear in all apps, please help :/

woohoowoohoo!
Months ago I lost use of mobile banking on my rooted SG Note2, I only had Titanium Backup set to keep one old version, and foolishly ran a backup having auto-updated a bunch of apps and then realised the new version of BMB reported device was rooted.
I tried all sorts of things to get it to work.. I came across many guides suggesting what to do.. and none worked..
* I used the triangleaway fix to make device normal.
* I disabled adb.
* I disabled installation of non-market apps
* I tried hide root programs.
* I renamed the Superuser.apk app to something else
* I renamed /system/xbin/su to something else
* I ensured /system was read only.
* I scanned system and removed any files or apps which had the name "root" or "su" in them and thus might look like root.
I even got to the point where if it weren't for having an active root shell via adb I'd have lost root!.
but nothing worked.
Then I came across this thread. I removed the app installed from Google Play, downloaded the 1.3.3 apk from the link provided, and installed it.
Ironically downloading the banking app from a third party is perhaps the most dangerous thing you could do, and yet Barclays force you in to it!
At some point I imagine they will put something in the internet servers which will deliberately break 1.3.3 and force an upgrade
But in the meanwhile I am very very happy! I will no longer have to carry my PIN Sentry box around with me.

I now have a rooted Xperia Z Ultra, and I have done everything to make this work yet it still says device is rooted. I restored the app from my Note 2 which is rooted and where the app works; so there must be something unusual that the Xperia flags up to tell Barclay's app its rooted.
If you have any ideas, please shout out so I can try them out. I did all the things I previously posted when I was trying to get the newer app to work.

What kind of fool would access their bank account from a hacked program hosted on mediafire uploaded by an unknown person who cannot even say what it is they have done to make it work?
Rofl.

[APP][4.4.2] AOSP Browser (NO ROOT REQUIRED)

AOSP Browser for 4.4.2 Kit Kat No Root is required
READ ME FIRST
First let me say, I have searched around and did not seem to find a working AOSP browser for Android Kit Kat, luckily someone posted some apks from One Plus One. So please read:
Credits go to blackhand1001 who started the original thread, but then his files no longer work for most of us i believe.
Credits go to the CM team for the One Plus One/files and M4rt1n94 for uploading the browser apk in his original thread.
FLASH PLAYER DOES NOT WORK, i have tried the files provided by adobe from here. If someone can some how tweak the latest Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.81) to collaborate with the browser then that would be great.
BOOK MARKS SYNC from @blackhand1001 DOES NOT WORK either. I hope someone or him can provide a working one, please
I have tested this on Stock Sony Xperia Z 4.4.2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet 4.4.2. It may or may not work for you, but it should work for all Kit Kats. Wish you best of luck. I do not know does it work for FW below Kit Kat, you tell me, if it does not work then try the original files from blackhand1001.
INSTALLATION
Same method provided by blackhand1001 from his original thread.
Download the "signedbrowser.apk" file that I have modified from below and place it in your phone's internal or external storage.
Go to general settings / security / check unknown sources
Use es file manager or root explorer (the non root version) from the play store and navigate to system / apps / and install Browser ProviderProxy.apk NOTE: it will state installation failed (that is normal)
Reboot your device manually
Navigate to the downloaded file you have done in step 1 and install the "signedbrowser.apk"
Uncheck unknown sources from your settings / security
DONE
Please hit the thanks button below and all the people I have mentioned up there.

If we already have 4.4, wouldn't we already have this?
Never mind, I found the answer. They have discontinued the old native browser.

Didn't work on M8 Verizon, but Browser proxy installed

Hey guys, is there are any ways to fix black screen issue

off topic but what is your theme? Really nice ! also your app for the floating sofkeys

I don't have Browser ProviderProxy.apk in any directory on my phone, so I just downloaded and installed browser apk and it works. Xperia M CM11.

Didn't work for me on an Xperia Z1 (C6903, stock 4.4.2) - probably because com.android.browser is actually the Browser Small App, and so is signed differently. Worked on my Optimus 2X (P990, unofficial CM11) though.
I think I can uninstall the small app, but I do like it so. Your mileage may vary

Didn't work on Moto G.

The problem is android WebKit where google has squeezed it and removed some commits from it in order to force people use their new default android web browser, chrome!..so whatever browser depends on that engine in kitkat it will lack a lot of feature like uploading any file to the web!
that's why Firefox and Chrome depend on their native web engines instead of relying on the unsupported webkit.

Finally! An AOSP browser which can open tabs using the pie on KK! Thank you!

Samsung Galaxy NotePro 12.2 LTE (SM-P905)
I got BrowserProviderProxy.apk located at system/app - not system/apps (this don't even exist), and it installs normally, doesn't give any error.
Then reboot and trying to install signedBrowser.apk --> "Installing App --> App not installed"
So no go for that device :/

Must be a Samsung thing. Same exact thing happens to other Samsung devices to.

Proxy app works signed browser not installed on nexus 5 just swell try again

Is it the aosp browser from 4.4 sources? Because that one sucks, it's based on chrome, not webkit.

Sky Go (Germany)

Hello people!
Im facing difficulties using my skygo account on Z1. I always used to view by APP transfered from my nexus 7 (rooted) - It always worked flawlessly. Now I updated by transferring new version and starting the app results in a flashing "hacked" screen. Now while this is an official Version from PlayStore I think its a new thing by Sky itself to make it unusable on unsupported device or something. I tried using apk downloaded from Web with same result.
Now - does anyone have any way to still use sky go on xpetia z1?! Maybe an older version or a workaround??
Edit:
Found solution:
1. Install xposed framework with native hook
2. Install skycast module
3. Reboot
4. Launch SkyGo.
Or just follow instructions for skycast module !!
