Unable to sideload GMaps 7.7+ - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General

Does anyone know why the Google Maps APK files for version 7.7 and above no longer can be installed on the HDX? I'm using ES File Explorer (latest version 3.1.3) to do the install and I get:
Parse Error
There was an error parsing the package.
Funny thing is the same package can be installed using the same app on my GS3. Is there an OS or Play Service dependency?

Wouldn't be surprised... YouTube stopped working on my hdx too...

noticed that too - it's because of the missing google play services, but at least you can downgrade to youtube 5.3.28 and it will work again.

You can find the latest APK's for play services here http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...me-services-update-wallet-fragments-and-more/

Package file is Invalid in Play Store

I really need help with this "Package file is Invalid" error that I get on the play store when trying to update or DL apps. I just tried to update instagram and it told me Invalid Package. Then I tried to DL Pandora and it worked perfectly fine. Can some body please help me out? I already deleted the Google account and cleared cache and data from play store. And still the same result.

If you have lucky patcher open it. Wait 30 seconds. Menu long press to play store. Try again to update. This usually works for me.

Oh okay, patcher is for root, it changes your odexes and removes Google ads so they don't pop up in apps. Try a search online for instagram apks? Other than that I don't really know sorry.

I DL the zip from this website and opened it with the root explorer and just clicked on the one that says apk. It installed perfectly

I got the package invalid error a couple of times. But a day later when I went to update everything worked fine. One was a Samsung app, and the other was Handcent.
I thought it was because I was running a custom rom, but since it cleared up on it's own I didn't give it any more thought.

Google now disappeared

After a clean install of the latest build of PAC from Vertigo (or so i believe, but it might have been there after the install but i didnt use it until today) google now has disappeared.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/52zodpetus1folb/Screenshot_2013-09-01-19-36-48.png
The google search app is installed through play store and is up to date. The toggle to enable google now is not there whatever i try.
I have tried unistalling and re-installing, reseting its data, clearing the cache, wipeing data through titanium backup, wiping Cache's through recovery etc. nothing seems to work for me.
Any help appreciated.

^ You should try this.
Some countries don't have support for Google Now. Set your language to English (United States).
I've installed it from the play store and I've have no problems with Google Now.
I'm up to date with version 2.7.9.789824.arm if that helps you.
I'll upload my apk if u need it.

Google now was working prior to update.
It is fixed now. I installed 2.6.xxxxx. it Worked and then updated to latest and it still works. Still cannot see what was wrong other than bad coding/implementation.

Any chance any of these apps you are updating a backup restored from a previous version? Perhaps patched with something like Lkucy Patcher? Does it happen for all apps? Can you install any other apps from the Play Store without a problem?

I think I got it. Other apps install fine which was weird so I just removed app data for those apps then the app itself and it installed OK from the play store

Flash the Google-Apps then use Play Store to install Facebook. Google Maps is a part of the GApps.
other app store
Try downloading the .apk file from the internet ex. Facebook.apk or try other app store like apptoide or amazon store

I'd avoid random websites that host apps. Amazon Appstore is really good, though, if you don't want to use GApps packages.
Perhaps installing gapps first then extracting the apk

Apk installer / uninstaller gone?!

I didn't even get the notification of an update and now I can't install /uninstall sideloaded apps. Apps that are installed through the Amazon app store are perfectly fine however. Can someone please confirm this change?

I'm all updated and can still sideload apps. Please confirm whether Settings / Applications / Apps from Unknown Sources is still set to "On". If not, re-enable. If so, we'll need some more details about which update you're on and what you're trying to do in order to be helpful.

Software version:13.3.2.2
Apps from unknown sources is ON
last update: April 1st
WTF
I first noticed something was wrong when f-droid would crash every time I would attempt to install an app from there. After that I tried installing from ES-file manager and when I tap on the apk it says "sorry, no application available".

Anyone have a solution yet? I'm still dealing with robots problem even though my kindle recently updated.
I'm thinking a fake update for the package installer somehow got through. (Not sure how though) here's a screenshot of the settings page.
