Hello, I'm having a problem I could not solve even after searching in many forums and video tutorials.
My situation is as follows. Due to technical problems in my Galaxy Y GTS-5310 (it suffered some sort of electric pane that disabled the camera and the input of the headset), I decided to buy a GTS-5360.
The GTS-5310 device was ok to run all applications I used normally, with 4.1.2 Jellyfish. Whenever any updated version of any app was not available on Google Play for some reason (with some exceptions here and there), I've always been able to install it directly through the SD Card.
As I imagined, this new device (with old 2.6.1 Gingerbread) did not recognize the installation of most apps I used (such as Whatsapp, Waze or Instagram). I have managed to install only few of them, like Facebook Lite or Root Browser, and only through the SD Card.
On this new phone, the Google Play Store always shows me a message of incompatible versions (either with Error 492 or simply not making the download button available). Whenever I try to install any of these through SD Card (by downloading the .apk file directly to my computer, be it in Google Chrome or Firefox), then Parse Error appears ("There is a problem parsing this package").
So my first attempt was to use Google Market Helper to change the ROM record as it is viewed by Google Play. However, even changing the version registration of the device to a more upgraded one, this did not work.
The next step was to actually install a new ROM. I have since tried Hyperion 9.0 (2.6), then I try upgrading to Lollipop (4.4), which runs ok, except for installing these apps. As far as I know, the latter should accept the download and installation of most of the apps mentioned above. But whatever I tried, I kept getting the same error messages (Error 492 via Google Market, Parse Error via SD Card).
Since then, some of the suggestions I've followed have not worked either. These include deleting the .android_secure folder from the SD Card, then clearing the cache of processes such as the Google Play Store and Google Framework, as well as clearing the dalvik cache through CWM and rebooting. I did this more than once, but the problem persisted.
I wonder now whether even upgrading the Galaxy Y GTS-5360 to a compatible ROM such as Lollipop is enough for being able to run these applications due to hardware issues.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi, galaxy y s5360 just support gingerbread is the reason of pars error when you install higher android apps.
About 492, any notification( log in error or gtalk...)?
Did you tried:
- Turn off device, Delete that folder on computer, then flash the rom again
- log in new gg acc

Do you get an error or do they just stuck on 100% after downloading?

I get an error. But sometimes the download just cancels itself.
however, the main problem is the error. because i could download the apk file via rapidshare etc.
But the problem is the error. the error says after the install bar runs:
Application did not install. (in dutch)
The other problem, with the download cancelling is like this:
when selecting an app for download, the download bar starts running.
But after a few seconds the download bar disappears by itself. so eventually, the app never reaches my phone. in fact the download never completes.
so there are 2 problems. but the first problem is worse than the second.
However, it would be great if you could help me to solve them both.
First problem: i get an error when installing certain apps.
second: My downloads from the market wont complete.
sorry for any weird sentences, english is not my first language.
Kinda glad to know that I'm not the only one with the same problem... still trying to figure out what happened.
I know a clean install will fix the problem but I don't want to go through that again...
My phone is a Motorola Milestone running CM6 10.12.22
i just did a clean install from the latest android out there (darkstone superram 0.1) with the dutch vodafone data mod and i cannot download a single byte from the market. the market itself works fine over wifi or G3, but all files refuse to download.
thing that sucks as well is that i have the apk for applanet on the sd card but a cannot get to it as the darkstone lacks a sd card explorer app....
When that happened to me, Market reported an error -18. An online search recommended deleting a hidden directory ".android_secure" on the SD card. I'm running CM6.1 on a CDMA Hero with most of my apps running from the SD. From what I found online, that secure stuff is for Froyo apps2sd... which is why some apps downloaded and installed okay, and why some apps downloaded, but failed to install.
You can also try some cache dumps including Dalvik. Run "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager. Then try the downloads again. If that still doesn't work, you might want to delete the ".android_secure" hidden directory.
Make sure to do a Nand backup and copy the contents of the SD card onto your computer before attempting any fix. Play it safe.
Good luck.
Hi,
I have a Samsung Y S5360 (which I like a lot) and Wechat was insisting too much on updating to its latest version, for which I had to upgrade to a newest ROM, so I got Lollipop (just that was a log process for me, as I'm not an expert, but I'm learning a lot the last days). Anyway, so I am installing apps now and I have some issues that's not making it so easy.
1. I'm in China so I have no access to Play Google. Also installing downloaded apps from the SD card has only worked until now for Link2SD and Superuser, all other apps I tried to install that way get parsing error.
So, I'm getting apps from Baidu and Chinese apps provider. My Chinese reading is less than okay, so I kind of follow by instinct, which is possible, that way I've installed already Pleco, and another couple of apps successfully. Except for Airdroid, and Wechat.
2. The problem with Airdroid is that I could get a 2.something version but not the latest 3.something, and as I tried to get it, even from Airdroid web, it's not working.
3. The problem with wechat, which is way more important to me than Airdroid, is that I get to install an old version, but still newer than the one I used to have when I was on Gingerbread. One strange thing that happened is that the look of it though wasn't the same as the new style of wechat but as the Wechat of a year or so ago. Strange. ... Besides that, then the most relevant issue is that once installed the old version I get the message to update it, once the update is downloaded and installed, I opened it and I only get to see the opening image (the earth and the guy) and that's it, it stops.
I tried installing the latest version from some of the Chinese providers of apps, but it happens the same. It's installed, and it's opening, I see the earth and the guy, and then off to the screen of icons in android.
I've tried to uninstall and install, wiping cache in between. Didn't worked. I tried redoing the process of installing the ROM all over again. Didn't work. I tried to leave Wechat in the phone, and not move it to the SD Card. Didn't work. I tried kissing the phone, and chanting some Hawaiian healing songs. Didn't work.
Here I am, at the end of the day, trying another way, I kind of believe the force is with XDA devs
Hi , i managed to face error 963 , i read quite a lot about it but got to realize that all thoughts about it had been off , here are some hints :
1 - clearing cache / data / google account is bs , it never solves it as claimed
2 - the error rise only on attempting to download / update an app that installs itself to SD card
3 - it happens only on lollipop version of android
Here are common symptoms that leads it to happen
1 - reinstalling google play store app from external source (unknown source) / backup even if 100% sure the source is clean
2 - integrating updated version into system using apps like link2sd / lucky patcher / happy patcher etc.
3 - integrating updated version of google play services into system using above apps
4 - unknown causes indicated by app moving somehow from rom side of launcher to user apps side
The theory about it :
some how google play app start to be recognized by lollipop as a user app not allowed to access SD card directly yet however it doesn't get the chance other apps get like requesting authorization to access SD card because apparently its handled through APIs and services but not through direct access of app to SD
Work around :
1 - if you were lucky and you still had the early stock play store you can uninstall update and luckily this will lead trusted play store app to kick in and take up its permissions again this is however not valid with all those who integrated updates or installed it from an external source
2 - unmounting SD card during updates help since it forces play store to use internal memory but this is like the peg leg solution
Trouble shooting the issue :
-now my question is , how to get lollipop to trust back play store to use SD card for those who know about the iffy lollipop security ?
-also maybe attempting to integrate exact version of stock play store / google play services back into rom might fix it but i never tested , so any body willing to post links to those ?
*as a side notice this error surfaced on several other devices than samsung so it lead me away from thinking its a knox security issue but i need a second opinion about that .
There have been several ways bantered about and many are still having no luck. I have done it several different ways and it has worked for me. To make it work you need five different APK's. They are Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Calendar Sync, and Google Contacts Sync. You can download these individually from APK mirror (http://www.apkmirror.com/) or download the Google Installer_V2.0 for MIUI (http://xiaomitips.com/download/google-installer-app/). This is an all in one installer and is in Chinese, but if you just select the button at the bottom of the app, the install will start. Do not open any of the services yet when the APK's install. You will need to reboot your device at the point everything is installed.
Upon reboot, simply select Google Play and login. I hope this helps. When you install the rom, via TWRP, make sure everything is deleted and to are doing a clean install. You can then install SuperSu for root. It already has a Chinese version installed, but when I ran root required apps, I was notified that root was not installed. Once you have root, you can uninstall all the Le-bloat.
Hello. I installed the 5.8.015S ROM, but when i want to install the Gapps or play store, is not working, constantly it gives me an error message, (something with Le Eco....) and i pass through normaly, only with I reinstall the ROM. I don't make a full wipe (i'm afraid to connect the phone without any operating system installed because i don't know if is possible to see the phone in PC ). Now, i'm without Play store and other else...
There can't be anything, such as Google accounts on you device or the install will fail. That is why I suggest a clean wipe.
Today I installed the 5.8 ROM to the phone. I try several days before, but everytime the play store it takes me errors which need to reinstal the ROM. First time (some days ago) i installed the ROM after 5.6.0.13S, only with cache and dalvik wiped. Not any chances. After that, i reinstall, again only with cache and dalvik wiped, and i try different GAPPS from opengapps.org (pico, nano, micro, mini, full), and i try the Google Installer V2 for MIUI (Xiaomi). No chance to work, every time it take me errors with "google play stop working, please send the error message" on a blank page, and i don't have any possibilities to pass through, only to reinstall the ROM. So, today I wipe everything from phone, (cache,dalvik, data, system, internal storage, everything) I say: one of two, or it works, or i brick the phone After that, began the fun ) It take some time, almost half day I can't see the phone with adb try diferent drivers, diferent commands in command window When i put the phone in Fastboot Mode, not comunicate with PC. When it was in TWRP, the adb it detects, but I was unable to push something in internal memory, in one specifical folder, only in /root. So, i put the 5.8.015S and the Super-SU on /root and i install with TWRP first the ROM and after the Super-SU. Reboot, and i put the Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Calendar Sync, and Google Contacts Sync from apkmirror (Thanks to jim262 ). I follow the steps from first post and from message received from jim262, I DON'T OPEN ANY OF THESE UNTIL FINISH AND REBOOT, and after that the playstore is working. HOWEVER, WHEN I TRY TO UPDATE SOME APPS, I RECEIVE THE ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAY GOOGLE PLAY IS STOP WORKING. But is not stopped, only the message appear, and i have possibilities to close that message.And the contact sync is not work, i don't know why. Maybe because i freeze some LeEco bloatware with Titanium Backup....Same thing with Application Permision....
Go into settings, account management, your Google account and check to see that the sync is on for your contacts.
To make contact sync work, download and install this APK :
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...-apk-download/
After that, go to settings, App management, look for "Google contacts Sync", Permissions, and "tick" Contacts
Now it should work.
There is an even easier way, install either the Indian version of the stock rom or Team Spain's Revolution Rom. Both work, run 5.8_15s and do not have the Chinese bloat, plus have Google Play pre-installed.
I have a Fire HD 10+ running OS version 7.3.2.1
I downloaded FTB v 26.1 and follow the instructions. Enable developer options, disable OTA updates.
I can install custom launchers and everything seems to work fine.
However, when I try to install Google Services, it downloads the 4 files but when it comes to installation I get an error for all installations. It's a long error message but basically says "Error: size must be positive."
The most common solution seems to be deleting the Google Services folder and restoring it (which I tried to no success), as well as re-installing FTB or resetting the tablet. I tried it on a different computer, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thank you.

You can try to install Google services manually.
