Can't Install/Update/Uninstall Nesoid - wtf - Hero CDMA General

I was running DCv2.06 and thought a2sd was working fine until one day i got a out of space error when updating Nesoid Lite (NES emulator.) Took a look at available space and it said ~30mb. Not exactly out of space but whatever, weird, moving on.
• Went in and started totally fresh wiping everything and, repartitioning and then successfully activating a2sd. free space = 101mb.
• My Nesoid shortcut said the app was no longer installed upon pressing it. Market says there's an update available and that it IS installed.
• When I try to update it tells me I'm out of space.
• When viewing the app in market my only option is to update. Uninstall button is grayed out.
• I can install any app on the market, even big ones like google earth with no problem, except Nesoid Lite.
• Nesoid Lite is not under Setting > Applications > Manage Apps.
• Tried to install Nesoid Lite from an old backup, same Out of Space error.
• Downloaded Nesoid Lite from a website and tried to install via a couple different app installers and ES File Explorer - same error.
• App is still in my market list.
• WIPED FULLY and started over. Same app, same error... and still in Market list under Downloaded. Still says Update Available.
how in the world does the app's market link survive a total wipe!?
what the f.
EDIT:
Just cleared market cache and the problem persists.
Cleared market upldater cache - problem persists.
I can install other emulators, like Gearoid Lite, by the same developer: "yongzh"

Start by making sure the market isn't running (task manager of your choice, or settings->applications->manage applications, Market, 'Force Stop' button).
Then open a terminal and type
Code:
su
rm -r /data/data/com.android.vending/*
Restart market, if the button is still grayed out then reboot your phone.

results were the same. Thanks for you reply.

I don't know what the name of the apk is, but if you can find it, you can manually remove it in /data/app (if you have a2sd running, it'll redirect you to /system/sd/app). If it isn't there, try /data/app-private. Last place to work is /system/app.
Once you remove it, reboot the phone and see if you can install it again.

The app is in fact uninstalled (foir the most part) and is in neither of those directories.

Metamorph crashes market

I'm trying to install Metamorph (and hopefully reskin the entire phone), however, each time I download it, the market crashes when it tries to install.
Any ideas?
Update: This occurs on any app that I try to install.

[Q] App stuck "Installing". How to cancel?

I made the mistake of trying to update a custom netflix APK to the latest Netflix out of the Amazon Appstore. Ever since, I've had an "Installing notification" and the app store lists the Netflix app as "Retrieving your app from the cloud."
I've rebooted, uninstalled the custom Netflix APK, reinstalled the custom APK, uninstalled again, and booted without network connectivity. I can't seem to cancel the installation.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I was unable to find a solution and Amazon's support couldn't help me, so I reformatted the device.
Warning to others: Don't ever click "upgrade" from the Amazon Appstore over a custom APK.
I had the same problem. Not sure how I got into the position but I had 3 apps downloading from the cloud forever.
Support could not come up with a solution so the only solution was to reset the device, I had to wait until the unit had 40% charge to do that. After I reset, it has worked fine since.
I did not try to upgrade anything yet when this happened. I think it might have had something to do with GetJar which I got before it showed the Kindle Fire as a supported device (just used another 2.3 droid device)
Zathbu is right. you're better off not trying to upgrade a sideloaded apk via the app store. one of the reasons being amazon stores its apps (meaning, the ones u get from their store) on the cloud, but sideloaded apks are stored on the device. and besides, i believe the apks from the amazon app store are treated differently. i have both android market and amazon app store on my phone and the apps i get from the app store are not "seen" by the market at all (even if they are present on both places)
I pretty much had the same problem. I had side loaded an APK of an App I had previous on my Droid phone, and then decided to download from the Amazon AppStore instead (better resolution of icon!). It even nicely said that I had an app installed that wasn't registered to my account, and would I like to overwrite it. Obviously, I said "Yes". The app just sat there installing forever, and no amount of reboots would fix it, or allow any subsequent app installs. Mistake....well temporarily.
The fix is this (if I remember correctly!):
1. Click on Settings (Cog)
2. Click on More (+)
3. Click on Applications
4. Ensure Drop Down says "All Applications"
5. Select Appstore
6. Select Clear Data (this won't affect your other installed apps)
7. Reboot
At that point, you should probably uninstall the offending side loaded APK file, using the same method above (Steps 1 thru 4). Instead of selecting Appstore, choose your app, then click Uninstall instead. Then install from the Appstore instead.
Hope this helps someone.
Glad someone found a GUI method of doing this. In case that doesn't work for some people, I also had luck clearing the contents of /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/cache/. You should be able to do that from an adb shell window, or a root-enabled file browser.
EDIT: After a quick brain fart, I realized that since that is technically on the "sdcard" partition of the OS, you should be able to remove those APKs from the cache with the Kindle tethered via the USB cable.
This is what I do, root not needed nor rebooting:
1) I use ES File Explorer to clear /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/cache but any file manager should work.
2a) Use settings-> applications to clear the data and force stop Amazon appstore
2b) Or use any app manager or most app2sd apps to go to the detail page for the appstore and clear data and force stop. The app manager built into ES File Manager will work fine. I only list this as the second alternative since the other way uses the built-in settings vs. this requiring an app.
3) Go to the app section/tab on the launcher then select store to restart the appstore.

You can also install a task manager and kill the "AppStore" process. That worked for me.
Worked for me!

My Apps is empty in Market

Hi All,
There are already threads for this problem, but all possible solutions are not working
My apps are not showing anymore in Market.
Clear cache is not working
Clear cache and reboot is not working
Clear cache foreclose and reboot is not working
Market dokter Titanium does not work
I always get a agreement of de market but again my apps are empty.
Did a full wipe and reinstalled ARHD 6.3.2 then restoren my apps by Titanium
A see all the Apps in my Apps, but again later on... everything is empty
Somebody have same issues?
Cheers,
Peter
If you find an app you have purchased before, does it allow you to install it? Or does it say its "incompatible" with your device?
It is allowed to download it and install it. And i have no new phone... so maybe my account is corrupt at Google side?
Try the following, if you have superuser permissions.
In the file /system/build.prop find the line starting with ru.build.fingerprint, and replace symbols JFM to JJ7
If this not works, in the same file find the option ro.sf.lcd_density=167 and change 167 to 160. You may set another value, eg. 240.
After saving the changes you should reboot.

Care to elaborate? Or do I need to remove your post?
My ro.build.fingerprint is like:
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.5/GRJ90/$:user/release-keys
Do i replace GRJ90 then?
ro.sf.lcd_density=240 this is my line
Have change this things but did not work.
clear cache did also not work again...

Better first try to change LCD density to 160. I'm not sure about fingerprint in non-Russian roms
Btw, are the permissions for build.prop set correctly after making changes?

Try everything nothing helped...
I use a build.prop editor this saves the file and correct the permissions.
Even uninstalled the market update did not work
IT is working again:
unimstalled the update of market
Clean data from google services framework.
Then force close
Clean data of market
Then force close
Reboot
Now it seems to work....
After update of market app the problem is back. Now i try the same steps as above...
After the steps above without remove market update i got my list back...
But after a change from portrait to landscape the list is gone again....
Seems like Google developers "fixed" something again. Try to ask their support

I discover it was a App problem. When i did a full restore of Titanium the problem was there... When i did every time 5 apps restore i use for long time the problem was gone...
I do not know that app gives this error.. because i delete all other apps what i think it was the problem and even do not use them anymore as well..
It is a update of something .. so my problem is solved.
Also, Market Fixer can help to solve the problem. Root required!
Market fixer did not work... have try that already.. but it is solved now...
Official fix for me...
Requirements:
Market Fixer app installed
Faith and patience
Intructions:
1) go to manage applications in your settings, tap view all and force close "Market" (don't delete any data)
2) while still there, also delete "Google Services Framework"'s data and force close it
3) run "Market Fixer", tap analyse market links, select all of them and tap remove market links ONLY
4) go to "My Apps" inside Android Market and make sure there's a Retry button on the screen telling you it couldn't communicate with the server, if there isn't, repeat step 2 and re-check
5) re-run "Market Fixer" to be sure the links didn't get recreated, and if none appear, reboot
6) go to "My Apps" as soon as you boot completely
7) if previously bought apps appear on the list, go to the free apps category and install a new one (this will recreate your market's database with working information)
8) check "My Apps" one last time, all apps should be there now
9) if you want, reboot once more and go to "My Apps" again to make sure everything's in working order with your "My Apps" list
10) dance the macarena, shoot a few hoops or just enjoy your victory like i did
11) make sure you don't re-link those evil apps to your market so you don't have to redo all of this
***As you could've noticed, the idea behind the first five steps is to keep the market from recreating the links or having to clear the data for Google Services Framework many times (both happen when the market's still running in background).***

After root, you must clear the play store in settings - Clear data, clear cache - then reboot your MOJO. Then and only then will the play store start showing all the new apps that are view able now in the play store. Hope this helps.
Im replying late here but duh I know to do that what I thoght I wrote was by doing that app gave me FULL access to all apps the latest root STIlLL leaves some apps out

Please help, i installed the new calculator update and it disappeared from the phone

I installed the new google calculator app with dark theme yesterday and it was working fine until today where the app itself disappeared and i can't find it in settings or disabled apps, i tried to reinstall the apk but it shows this, i tried from the play store and it shows this, i tried to use a method i used before to bypass this kind of issues by slightly changing the package name in an apk editor app and it used to work, now it's just giving me "problem parsing the package"
please any help
Another user reported the app had occupied 1GB space on his phone, so the app seems buggy.
If you cannot clean the apps memory/cache in settings/apps anymore and uninstall then I would suggest you search for the com.google.android.calculator folder(s) on your phone and manually them. Then from TWRP also wipe dalvik cache and cache on next start and for the time being, until Google fixes it, use another calculator.
I am happy with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shaytasticsoftware.calctasticfree (only 2.9 MB and better reviews than Google).
