Unable to install Google's new camera

Hi,
I can't seem to install Google's new uploaded camera. It seems many people have this problem as well (at least in the Nexus 4 section which is my device as well).
The error I got was "package file was not signed correctly...". That was when I had the photosphere camera so I deleted it's .apk and .sh files. After that I got the error "application already exists". Deleting the AOSP camera doesn't seem to help as well.
Any suggestions?
P.S this seems to be a custom rom problem, for example Slimkat users had this problem as well and the developers had to release some fix for it.

flashing the PA new google camera addon module, does not permit to upgrade / install the google camera from play store, it says that is not possible because of a wrong signature, then if i remove with root file explorer from /system/app and i try to install from market it says that application is already present, do someone know how to solve that? i'm on OmniROM

Solved...
Install apk from here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/04/16/breaking-google-releases-stock-camera-app-to-the-play-store/
Worked for me without having to delete anything.

yes but the apk let you install mat it's not connected to google play store so if any upgrade exit you won't be able to installa automatically

Yep that is a problem... But you can just install the new apk again when it's updated that's all.

Is the still no solution for the problem? I'm experiencing it as well on my Nexus 4 running PA 4.4 rom

Use modular gapps

I am having zuk z2 plus and I recently installed a custom ROM (pixel experience 8.1.0). On first istallion the Google moded camera seams to be working fine but after a factory reset ,I again tried to install but the camera is not installing (" app not installed").so please help me out

Apps can only be downloaded/installed after reopening Play Store?

I have rooted my Note 4 and there comes a problem with downloading and installing. I have to close Play Store so that it would download/install the app. If I have to update 6 apps, I have to close and open Play Store 12 times...
I have tried to clear all data of Play Store and clear cache of Play Service; and I've also uninstall Play Store and it was the same case with lower version.
Many thanks for your help in advance!!!

Hi,
If you are rooted and have Xposed Framework installed, it is Xposed that us causing it... most probably?
However there is two options.. either install XSecurestorage module to fix or uninstall Xposed!
I had very similar problem with Play store in past
Good luck
post entry ,
after posting my reply above ,i started to have "problems " with Samsung store.( installing apps etc )
i immediately uninstalled Xposed ,and problem was fixed !
To me its clear even with relevant module fixes /patches eg..Xsecurestorage
you are bound to have some "problems " soon than later
In past i had problems with Play store....lag ....SHEALTH ..Private mode etc ..yes i "fixed /patched" it just for
Xposed to "break" something else
( by now i have been using Xposed for some ,i believe (and stated in my other previous post in various threads) Xposed just don't "play nicely "with our Note4.
also Xposed was last updated ,even before our Note 4 ,was officially released,
(so i can understand why it breaks apps etc ./not optimised for N4 )
I still use Xposed on all my other devices ..Note 8.0......../Note 2...../Htc One x ..no problems at all .

I thought it was Xposed so I reloaded the firmware and rooted, same thing happened. I even manually edit the file to set secure storage to be false, still not working...
Thanks both anyway...

[Q] Significant Lag After Root

I rooted using the CF Auto method or whatever it was last week to try playing Hearthstone on my Note 4, however now my phone gets significant lag issues (screen locks up for 3-4 seconds every 5 minutes or so) and even stuttering while playing music over Spotify. Any ideas?
I uninstalled Xposed and the App Settings module to see if that would fix it, but it hasn't.

hi,
i had similar and other experiences with Xposed and lag issue. (in past month) I have found that Xposed can break certain apps (when installing etc.. Shealth.. Play store, Samsung store, Private mode, and cause lag.
You must take into account that Xposed was last updated even before Note 4 was released.(?) So to me its not fully optimised? for Note 4?
However, I also found that Xposed broke certain apps.. even after i uninstalled it! eg.. My Play store was working fine with Xposed (Patched./fixes applied) and after i uninstalled Xposed i suddenly couldn't install apps from Play store! I was so fed trying to "fix" Play store etc... i just flashed my latest Official Rom over it..(All problems fixed!) So it could be Xposed that was original cause of your lag?.. even if you have uninstalled it? I have also found after uninstalling Xposed, some other module's functions are still present and i can still use it!
Just a pointer, maybe it helps?
good luck

Search the forum. It is S-Health, that causes lags, because it uses Secure Storage, which is not working with root. But there is a good news! There is already fix for it in custom kernels and XPosed Framework (search for SHealth in modules). You can use either.

I tried searching a bit, but wasn't finding any results for what little I knew. Sorry about that. Thanks a bunch for the help. Will simply disabling S Health solve the issues since I don't use it anyways?
Edit: Just realized you mentioned a solution also within the Xposed framework, I'll try that! Sorry, I'm pretty tired haha

hi ,
yes, i think @Zer0r means the XsecureStorage module ( Wanam )
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xshealth
Just to point out that maybe you overlooked an important fact and that is you still have the lag issue after ........uninstalling Xposed ?
thus Xposed must have "broken" something ? in process ? for you to have lag after uninstalling Xposed ?
to fix you now have to install Xposed again.(thus a temporally fix ????)
When i had Xposed installed and used XsecureStorage module it fixed my Shealthapp ( i had no lag ,so it was not an issue to me ) but it did not fix my Private mode .(So to me its a hit and miss )
Good luck

You can either install the secure storage xposed mod or edit your buildprop and change secure storage to false

Quote from Wanam's ROM thread:
"If you can't get Private mode to work: backup your user Apps through TB, wipe data partition from recovery, reboot, setup Private mode and restore your Apps."

hi,
thank you for your input, but i do know all relevant fixes.. (including your one.) Done them in past. Bottom line
I am not to interested if Private mode works or not..!
The point i am trying to bring across is that Xposed is not 100% optimised
for Note 4 and keeps on breaking various apps!
I have Xposed installed on my Note 3./.Note 2../ Note 8.0 (tab) and my HTC one X, no problems at all on any of these devices! My Note 4 i had Xposed installed on and off, since October this year.. so i do know Xposed very, very well! and relevant patches.
Bottom line is
if the dev. manages to optimise Xposed for lollipop (ART) i will install Xposed again! So i do fancy/like Xposed but is not so hardup to use it, (if it breaks so many apps and you have to patch it.)
This is my message i am try to bring across. with Xposed.. but then its your choice to install or not.?
thanks for your input and good luck

Lesson here is don't use xposed unless u do 5 minutes of reading first on how to use it with this phone. Been using it correctly since launch day, why...... cause I didn't just install it, I read what was suppose to be done before and after it is installed. Sorry just really sick of seeing the countless posts about this. There should be a sticky about xposed, but people would still fail to see it.
Before you even install xposed you should:
1. With titanium backup, freeze health service, private mode, and s health. Wipe data for those apps as well.
2. Edit build prop:
ro.build.selinux to 0 if you have a permissive kernel or want to flash one.
ro.config.knox to 0
ro.config.tima to 0
ro.securestorage.support to false
3. Reboot
4.install xposed, install framework, reboot.
5. Install Wanam 3.2.5,( do Not install newest 3.2.6 as there is something wrong with it, causes reboots while hanging at the startup system update process), go into security hacks and tick disable secure storage, and reboot.
6. In titanium backup, unfreeze health service, private mode, and s health.
7. Reboot and enjoy
I've even done this with skipping some of the reboots and been fine, but just to make sure you have no problems, do everything as written. And yes I know I edit other things in the build prop which is really overkill.

So u uninstalled xposed and are not installing it again because u don't want to do a lil bit of work after a fresh install, despite all the pluses it brings? I find it so useful that I probably won't upgrade to 5.0 until xposed is compatible unless xposed will never be compatible.

hi
thanks for you input ,
No ,i think maybe you "misinterpret" my last post ?( I did read up and follow correct Guidelines availeable .)
I stated that i know Xposed quite well and have installed Xposed all my other devices ..no problem etc .
On my Note 4 I have installed Xposed "on and off " since October (maybe 3 or 4 times ? i don't really know .)
Overall Xposed work well, no problems ,its just "sooner or later" an app would break !
eg . after using Xposed for a while( week or so )my Play store " broke"..could'nt install and have to apply fixes /patches all over again ( freeze S health / Install Xposed again /clear Shealth data etc etc )
other instant was using Xposed for a while my 'Samsung store " app broke .......!
Had to apply fixes/patches all over again ....!
I had my Private mode working in most of these cases ,but lost interest in hiding apps ..for what ?
I don't keep no "sensitive " stuff etc. on my device ,so don't really have any need for it .
As i am looking more forward to flash "Lollipop" onto my device ,i am not so "interested "
to keep Xposed on my Note 4 .( for every now and then ,for something to break and then apply fixes , after a while that was my experiences .)
Also i believe Xposed is not fully "optimised " for our Note 4 ..as i stated(/reason) , in my previous post above.
So if you chose to have Xposed on your device ,happy with it ,its your choice . (,i have no problem with that )
( i am also overall a " fan/supporter " of Xposed )
its just that my Note 4 is tweaked / running ... very smooth and i have no complaints/issues about... ..battery /lag or anything in paticular .
Good luck

fast charge? dalvik ?

i used it all the times,so is it healthy?
am on lollipop so how can i return to dalvik ?
why some app when i insall it show error parsing the package ?
N910H lollipop

1) You can replace the battery pretty easily, if it doesn't work anymore.
2) Downgrade to KitKat
3) Don't know.

Have a look at this thread and give the solution a try - not sure if it's the same problem though :/

hi,
Normally when getting "parsing error" it could be various reasons. Eg. i got parsing error if i tried to install an app that was not optimised. for certain Android version.. . eg if you are on Android v4.4.4 and tried to install an app that is optimised eg.. v 5.0.1 Lollipop you can get parsing error.
Also if app is corrupted when downloading.
There can be quite a few, other reasons also..."corrupted" os.. freezing /deleting wrong system apps..(knock on effect) . when downloading . . etc etc
good luck

hi ,
it seems that you do not understand what i was trying to explain in my post above .re "parsing error "?
I will give you example. eg.....
if you are on Android v3.x.x (Honeycomb ) and want to install eg Nova home launcher it will /should give you a "parsing error " as Nova is optimised to work only with Android v4.x.x( Icecream sandwich ) and above.( i don't know if this has since changed )
eg no 2..
another example is if you are on Android 4..4.4(Kitkat ) and want to install an app Toggle Network it should give you a "parsing error " as it only works with Android v 5.x.x (Lollipop) and above .( you also need root etc )
I am not " talking " about apps that Play store states that it is not available for you Region /or optimsed to work etc . for you paticullar device (you have eg ..a Note 4 and its only optimised to work on eg Sony Xperia )
.Yes i have sideloaded such apps and found some working.
Also ,i stated that there could be various other reasons that you could be getting "parsing errors ."
eg Xposed module ........
you have Xposed module installed and "sometimes " if Xposed "breaks something " you could get this
Xposed( together with wrong version Play services ) has ...on /off caused plenty of problems( for me ) with Play store apps installations !! eg Apps would show "downloading and downloading " and never install on my device....then the app is only 3/4 megabytes in size ! I had to fix this by uninstalling Xposed , reflashing my Rom !( yes ,i know there are other "fixes/patches " that also work for Xposed module )
This has happened( with me in the past Android v 4.4.4 ) with Xposed module ,even after uninstalling it !!
that Xposed module or other modules installed ..... has /."can " break/cause a lot of problems !
Hope you get my point/understand better ?
............................
Bottom line ......Play services ..(wrong version on device )
i would say since you are on Lollipop the most obvious reason could be ,, that wrong version Play Services is still installed and causing your problem !!!!!!
To fix you have to install "upgraded version " of Play services
i had to do this when i flashed Lollipop ( so had other XDA members here )
good luck

Google services framwork stopped working on rooted chinese Galaxy S4 i9500

Hello,
currently I am having a Galaxy S4 i9500 with the original chinese Android 4.2.2, which has been rooted. I've been trying to install the Google Playstore and been looking a long time on the internet to do so. When installing these Apps, I use the Root Explorer to put these files into system/apps, changing the permission to match the other apps (rw-r-r) and then i just reboot.
First of all i got myself the google login manager, google services Framework and of course the playstore itself. The Playstore works and the accountmanager aswell, i get to log into my google account and i can open up the playstore now, which previously always instantly closed, but now it says connection error, as the installation of the google services framework fails. I tried several files from different sites. And if the installation succeds google framework keeps on crashing. Also tried clearing cache, but pretty much senseless as it never worked and I never had it before on my Phone. So I also copied a working version of the framework from my old Galaxy S2 onto my S4, but still does not work. But until now i didn't get the framework to work on my Phone.
Do you have any idea how to get a working file? Or am I just installing it the wrong way? Are more files needed for installation of it? Thing is, if possible I would really like to keep my stock rom and not having to install a custom one. I was just wondering, how so many people got the playstore to work on their chinaphone with the tutorials given, but it just woen't work on mine..
Thank you for your help!
