Try fix_permissions, or fix uid packages if you're using Amon_RA's recovery.

[Q] Nook Color - Install button missing on some apps in Market

I just installed CM7 nightly 164 using verygreens size agnostic walkthrough. I previously tried the very latest nightly and had this same issue: Everything installs fine, gapps setup runs fine, market is installed fine. Problem: some apps, such as Youtube and Facebook do not have an Install button to press in Market. I tried both picking them during google setup (fails) and not installing anything during google setup and then trying to install from market afterwards. I am able to install other apps, but these do not have the install button: youtube, facebook, google maps.. any ideas? I tried clearing the market cache and it didnt help, I can see the app page, but no install button.

Look around. Many many threads with lots of solutions.

I have this same problem, none of the solutions helped. I got the APK from another source in the end.

Thanks for the apk tip, I'm new to android and didn't know about that. Facebook installed now

which application do you need?
Some other user could give you the requested apk for you to download and install it without needing Market.

youtube and facebook

When I rooted my Nook Color a few months back, a few market downloads came then seemingly automatically, then since then no market, I can download nightlies but no apps. I've tried most of the responses in here to no avail.
So I've wondered if I could create a zip file containing several apps and try to install them. My purpose would be to load apps on the Nook Color that would allow me to load files on the SD card and install from there.
I would prefer to get the market working, but I'm missing something. I've done manual nooter, download most of the programs that claim to be the missing link, tried several varieties of gapps, and some other suggestions as well.

Same problem. No install button for a bunch of apps in Market even after trying the suggestions listed here.

Uninstalling the updated market let me find and download those by searching in the old market. I also used Titanium Backup to uninstall the market update app first.
PS: Some have reported issues with the updated YouTube app so be forwarned.

I uninstalled my current Market app and installed 2.3.6. Now my links are there but the Market always force closes when I try to install.

That is because the app is updating itself again.

There is a workaround:
1) Set your DPI to 160.
2) Make sure the market app is killed, and then clear data for "market" in application management.
3) ???
4) Receive bacon!
You will have to kill Market/wipe market data every so often.

I'm trying this myself (see youtube thread), and it doesn't seem to be working. Some apps will show, others don't show the download / update buttons. Market version 3.0.27 CM7 n168. Unfortunately I don't have any older versions of the market to play around with.
EDIT: Okay, I spaced this one out, forgot to reboot after editing build.prop. The full market seems to be working now, I can update youtube, etc.

UPDATE: Latest "Market" Now 3.3.12

Update: 11/20/11 Unofficial Market update which brings it to Version 3.3.12. Better integration with the Music market. You can now download free music and purchase music as well. Sorry U.S.A. only for free music (?)
How to install: download apk and install like any other apks.
http://db.tt/0j3ii5Oq
Here is the latest (leaked?) update of the Market which brings it to version 3.3.11.
And here's how I installed it: I am currently on CM7 nightlies
Download .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk)
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access)
Move New Market .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk) to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first)
Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) older market .apk (Vending.apk) to your sdcard
Rename new market as Vending.apk
Fix Permissions (rw--r--r)
Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot
Done! Whew...
OR...
Download .apk
Rename New Market .apk to "Vending.apk" (w/o the quotes)
Install just like any other apllication
Reboot (if necessary)
*I didn't get the chance to try the second option so it may or may not work, but it kinda made sense...
**not sure if (Vending.apk) is the same name for SENSE ROMS (I don't remember) but just make sure to rename it the same way...
FOR MORE INFO... MARKET 3.3.11

Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. Have you tested and confirm that you can buy a new app with this new market apk?

Hmm this actually is worth the trouble. LOL

you could do it the lazy way and hover over the link on this website and after about 3s a qr code will show up

DL'd and installed earlier. I had been having problems with the speed of other 3.x market apps, this fixes those all, even on 3g. However, some of my installed apps aren't showing up (like Google Maps, of all things). I'm sure there's a simple solution to that, though.

Try and clear "market" data through the application settings and reopen the market. See if that worked...
from the "CRACKED" speedy EVO engine... Via Tapatalk.

It won't install for me. It keeps saying application not installed. If I use root explorer to place the .apk in the /systems/app folder I just get force closes. Clearing data doesn't help either. I have downloaded it several times thinking it was a corrupted download. I'm at wits end here. I have done everything in this post even before I read it as I have updated to all the other previous market releases without issue.
But for some reason this one just doesn't work. I thought maybe it wasn't working on cm7.1 nightli or or the evo shift but some of you have it working so that isn't it. Let me redo this and maybe format cache and dalvik see if that helps.

did you rename the .apk of the new update?

I had zero issues with the new Market. I just installed it like any other .apk. The new Market is very nice. Many small noticable differences. Like when on the My Apps page and you switch accounts it leaves you on the My Apps page instead of reloading the whole damn Market. Overall new Market is definitly an improvement and Vicodan should stop being such a hater

I did try that, but no luck. I'll probably just ignore it until the next time I flash a ROM. Then it'll fix itself, so that's fine. I imagine it's only going to be a few days until I do that anyway.

Titanium Backup can restore all your Market links. I believe there's also other apps designed just to do that too. Use TB or search for an app that restores Market links.

If your use titanium backup to restore or install your apps go into the settings and use market doctor. This will fix missing links to apps in the market that you have installed.

I used your second instructions to install it but I didn't rename it and it installed fine. I didn't need to change permissions or reboot, just touched the Market-3.3.11.apk after I downloaded it and it installed. Thanks.

I did this the first time i downloaded the .apk and it didn't work for me. That's why I had to do it the long way...
Are you on a Sense ROM?
Good to know that it installed fine for you.

Android Market keep crashing

Following the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351283 I got market installed. But whenever I try to install anything from the market, the app will crash, and will continue to force close whenever I try to open it again. Reinstalling didn't help. I tried several versions of the market, the vending.apk, com.amarket.apk and even the newer 3.4.4 version found elsewhere. Anyone else has Market running without crashing?

Experiencing the same thing. I did not edit the OTAInstaller file and am curious if I could have received the udpate somewhere in the background. Is that possible?
**Rooted pre update using OneClick. Used the Utility and TWRP to install CM7. Everything other than market is working great. Thanks to all of the developers. Job well done**

I have LG Optimus One (P500), had the same problem now. Problem started probably when I installed flash player. Problem solved by clear dalvik cache.

---- problem solved ----
P.S. It has nothing to do with Market - I forgot to set Droidwall to allow Market and Googleserviceframework

By doing what? Clearing Dalvik?
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.

I have the same problem, and it seems that my KF stopped to download apps from the market (it's v6.2.1 and rooted).
I don't think I've installed Droidwall (intentionally) and I don't know what Dalvik is

[Q] Updating Gmail on Galaxy SIII SPH-L710 d2spr

How can I, or can I, update to the new Gmail 4.7.2?
I followed the app in the xda thread, http://d-h.st/pXI
Can I download and flash without any issues?
I currently have Gmail 4.5.2 on Slimbean 4.3build 2.2 Official.
Thanks for any and all feedback.

Why do you have to flash anything? It's just an apk file. Just install like any other Android app.

I did try to instal but I got an error message stating even though these files are named the same they have different signatures and installation has stopped.
What does this mean exactly?

You can either open up the Play Store and check for updates to your apps because at this point in time the update should be showing up for everyone. Second choice is to uninstall and then install with the new apk.

I did try to update it through play. It went all the to downloading and stopped during the installation with the message :"Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again".
This is why I went to download and intsall. But that route too is not working out for me.
There is no "uninstall" option for Gmail??
I'm stumped on where to go next?
Thoughts if you please??

Try using Titanium Backup to uninstall Gmail and install again from Market.
