I'm trying to update AdAway and BitSlide but both have been banned from the Play Store and/or are not available with their current versions anywhere but their own github or source sites. When I try to install them, I get a very vague and unhelpful error for "application not installed" which doesn't tell me anything.
I've tried force closing them, freezing in TiBackup and using an APK installer app from the Play Store, but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas? Googling this extensively and looking around on XDA, Reddit, etc. haven't helped.
Solution: After trying to load via ADB it provided a much more useful error for me to troubleshoot "signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!" which obviously meant I had signature mismatches on the apps I was trying to install. I simply uninstalled them and then was able to re-install new versions via ADB or natively on the phone (either install method worked). Simple fix!

Anyone know where to get the APK outside the market? It's not available in the Korean marketplace for whatever reason? Did a Google search, came up with nothing but news and QR codes.
TIA
Also want the apk file as well. Cannot get it from market from Thailand either. Using market enabler faking Market, I can search for Google Earthj but after download, installation fail due to certificate invalid problem
Really want Google Earth 1.1. Please share the link if any friend have one
Cheers
Try AppBrain.
HERE
I have the same problem. And AppBrain doesn´t work for me because it redirects me to the market. And since this is a dead end...
I´m running Android 2.1 on the Milestone...
The older version of Google Earth (v1.0) is here...
(I couldn´t post the link because I´m new. Google this: "google earth android 2.1"
and then it´s the second link from the top. In the comments you find the link to version v1.0 which works find on my device.)
But I can´t find v1.1 on the web.
So if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
appbrain worked for me.
CM 6 RC3 on Nexus One
AppBrain doesn't work for me. It always redirects me to the market where the app is not found.
Any ideas why it worked for you?
I installed Appbrain App Market & Fast web installer on phone.
Registered at http://www.appbrain.com on my PC, logged in, searched Google Earth and installed (through PC) & saw installation was done on my N1. Needless to say N1 was online.
hope this helps.
Hi there.
For anybody needing help on how to install Google Earth with AppBrain, here I wrote an article: it-nthusiast.blogspot.com/2010/08/exclusive-install-google-earth-11-on.html (sorry, but I'm not permitted to post directly links going outside, as I'm a new user).
Hope that helps you.
Thanks lorin_93 ... it does help and works for me.

Good one, thanks, but after download and try to open it displayed installation unsuccessful.
Any thoughts?
I have tried also market enabler switching a wide variety of operators, no luck...
I tried the Appbrain App Market & Fast web installer method. It downloaded the app on my milestone and I clicked on it in the notification bar. That was a mistake because it took me too the market again and no installation was done. Yeah stupid me...
After that I tried it again but it doesn´t work anymore. Every other app I push to the phone installs without a problem. Just the Google Earth App doesn´t "arrive" on my milestone anymore.
Any ideas why?
I tried to erase the cache, reinstalled both the AppBrain app and the Fast web installer. But nothing works...
Thanks for the help so far!
get market access and emulate another sim. you need root to do this i think. then install anything you want. amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
please guys upload the 1.1 apk file
edit: found it
Hi Aqrab,
can you tell me where you found it, please?
No other method is working for me
There have been plenty of people looking, I haven't checked back on this thread in a while because I expected better, faster responses. But, that's nearly rude to ask for someone to post it, then saying "I found it, goodbye." when we are all aware people are looking for it, and finding difficulty finding it. I'll dismiss it as a moment of not thinking, but that should've been shared.
Here is the apk file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?l8gqi9egdna5vps
But,
I cannot install the apk file of Google Earth v1.1. onto Motorola Milestone. The system informs "application not installed". I uninstalled the apk of v1.0, then tried to install again this apk 1.1. However, it happened again: Application not installed"
I downloaded the apk file v1.1 from the internet. I tried to 3 different apk files, but the same wrong thing: Application not installed.
I tried to re-installed the apk v1.0, it informed"out of space" though i got the apk v1.0 installation succefully.
Please help!
I posted many forum but no answers found. Please answer
Has anyone had a problem where Google Music is listed in the Updates section of the Market, but won't update? A dialogue window flashes up and then disappears again.
I tried clearing the data, but it's made no difference.
I'm not located in the US if that changes things, but Google Music is still listed in the Market (and was installed by default anyhow).

You can always google "Music Beta 3.0.1 apk" and install it manually, you'll still be able to do market updates for it in the future. As to your fix, have you tried rebooting the device? It fixes install problems for me that way.
Thanks, I had to reinstall the app as adb install initially reported INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS .
The following however worked, once I'd grabbed the apk file...in case anyone else has the issue in the future.
adb install -r com.google.android.music-2.apk
Couldnt find it in the market so I found a .apk file on here and installed it, but when I open the market it does not show that I even have it on my phone...so how will I be able to update it?

Is there a way to use Google Music in Germany?
Hello Everyone,
First time post. I scoured through numerous posts about the Play Store unable to find one related to mine. I will give as much detail as I can. Pretty simple if you are savy with rooting.
Phone: HTC Evo 4G
ROM Installed: MazWoz-Evo-B6 (Jellybean
GoogleApps Version: gapps-JB-20121124
Have attempted other ROMS and gapps versions. Just a few. But enough to know I must be missing a step or it is just broken and no one has it running :S. I have cleared all the cache, both the Play Store app cache and in Recovery mode Cache's. I just started into this Rooting last night. Very comfortable installing different ROMS. But why is the Play Store broken on each one? I have tried installing the ROM, Booting up, shutting down and than installing Gapps. Along with installing Gapps right after the Rom install. I clear everything for fresh install of both. It is getting me no where and the internet is full of all kinds of topics related to the Play Store. But nothing that fixes this issue.
I can not get connected to the Google Play Store. Using an existing google account to log in with, it never makes it into the store. But using this step does setup the email for the phone. Maybe that will help pinpoint an idea to you guru's. I hope someone can help.
Thanks!

first thing. ensure that your rom download and gapps download are both good downloads and not corrupt. even partially corrupt files can flash unless you used md5 checksums. But since each rom is having a problem... really looks like your gapps might be the problem...
thats something to check at least...
Play Store DB reset

Android's play store is oddly configured. Depending on your rom's tweaks, a variety of things can cause playstore issues including: LCD Density (via /system/build.prop), ro.product.model= (via /system/build.prop), ro.product.manufacturer= (via /system/build.prop), and lastly the Google Play Database file.
Sorry I can't remember the location of this file, but basically on our phones there is a database file, I believe an SQL DB. If you have lots of problems, you can try to close google play, erase cache/data to the app, then rename the db file to **OriginalNameOfFile**.BAK
open google play, and it should be fixed

Hi, I'm having a problem with my updates in Aptoide. I give update and says "Error apk Not Found"
try this one Tampermonkey script which allows you to download apk and obb directly to pc.
only chrome, maelstrom and opera browser are supported.

Aptiode is NOT allowed!
It is considerd warez!
Havent you all read the forum rules?!
Hello,
First off, I would like to apologize if I am posting this in the wrong thread as I am new to this site. I have always searched this site for answers to questions I have had in the past, but have never had the need to ask for help. However, today is an exception. Every time I try to install this app, I get the error "App not installed". I have read up on this issue and it is caused by a previous installation of the application leaving leftovers behind (the weird thing is that sometimes I get this error for apps that I have never installed before). For the majority of the apps I have had this problem with, I was able to simply navigate to /data/data on my rooted HTC One M8 and delete the folder associated with the app. However, this didn't work with a few apps I have tried recently. I then installed "ZipSigner" and signed the application and tried installing it that way, this way only worked for one of my apps. I'm stuck with this one app though that I can't seem to install. I have already tried making it a system app; however when I reboot and try to load the app, it gives me the application crashed error every time. I have luckypatcher installed also and I tried to install the app from luckypatcher but it also hints that there are leftovers (but I have never installed this app before lol). So idk what to do. I will not do a factory reset because this app isn't worth the time, but I really would like to find out how to solve this error. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thank you!
EDIT: I have also tried adb installing it but that failed also. Another thing I tried was modifying the AndroidManifest.xml to change the name of the App when it installs, but I couldn't find the right code to modify.
