Ghost in the machine (phone) - Droid 2 General

I resently deleted an App from my phone, but the market still keeps trying to update it. It just sits there saying "downloading" but never does. If I try to cancel the download, the market app crashes. Is there some way to clear this? I have tried going through Root Explorer to locate were this may be stuck, but so far haven't had any luck.
Rooted Droid2 OC'd to 1.3Ghz still on 2.2 w/stock ROM
Thanks,

Which app was it? I had this problem with pandora but it went away when I switched roms.

It was called Wtfsimfd or "what the f**know should I make for dinner" I just installed it for laughs. But it seems to have cleared up now. I just finished installing the new already rooted and Deodexed.zip sbf for 2.3.2 and that fixed it.
Thanks.

I actually am experiencing this problem currently. I downloaded and installed a sleep sounds app, had it for a couple days, then uninstalled it successfully. But then I go into the market into my downloads the app is in there with a progress bar that just says installing. Its been about a month now and no matter what I do it won't go away. Rooted d2 stock rom no oc. Any suggestions?

My problem app cleared up when I did the 2.3.2 update.
Here's the link to the file and the instructions. I used the deodexed version and it worked perfectly.

Tried installing it 5 times and it keeps give me the "update unsuccessful" message.
Same here. I'm sure they'll figure it out soon.
You probably have to uninstall old one via titanium backup and reinstall. This happens sometimes when some apps are baked in a rom, and uninstallable using normal uninstallation. I had to do it with my google search, and google map.
Uninstall both with titanium backup, reboot, then reinstall via market.
Just installed fine for me. I am on CM6.

Installed fine for me over the last version on Myn's Warm 2.2. Seems to be much snappier, unlike that last version which was complete crap, slower than snot and crashed like no other. Haha.
Installed, but I don't see anything real special about it.
Uninstalled it then tried to add the updated version and it still wouldn't install. Hmm

[Q] Questions on themes and deodexing

Ok I've managed to get my device rooted and overclocked, I have Bootstrapper and Clockwork Mod. My question is am I deodexed and am I ready for themes now
No, you have three options:
1) Manually deodex your phone
2) Install a Rom that's already been deodexed
3) Download and flash your stock files for deodexed ones
Ok how do I know which themes have been deodexed already and how do I know what apex I have

If you browse the droid x themes and apps section of xda, the theme creator will tell you what has been deodexed or not. I know the 928 blackglass theme is deodexed already but I do not know of many themes that come deodexed. Of you wish to deodex your phone, search google for "xUltimate 2.2 Manually deodex your phone".
As for apex...this is a custom ROM, so this will not be running on yout phone yet, you would have to install it of this is the ROM you wish to run.

I have a feeling that after I deodex I'm still not done ...lol I actually tried loading the DXred theme the other day and it worked ..then I noticed that the dialer button didn't work then it killed my service ...ya think that happened because I was not properly deodexed?

Probably. After you deodex you should be ready for loading up a custom theme. Be sure to read any instructions specific to the theme you apply.

Ah, ok. Xultimate is an application that runs on your computer, not your phone.
If you have your phone rooted, and know how to use the Droid X bootstrap to install .zip files, then download this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?gvvgnum0uma2huk
Run this with Droid X bootstrap and you will be deodexed, and not need xultimate.
Ok after a lot of research I finally understand the whole thing.....most if the themes I see on line you need a custom ROM to run them which of course I'm running stock therefore I have to choose from the stock ones which is cool. I found a pretty cool one called Executive Red and it's working perfect. Thank you very much for all of your help

No problem. Glad to hear you got where you want to be. I would recommend just doing some research, and when you feel like you're comfortable, try out one of the custom ROMs. I regret not jumping into one a little sooner. They really have a great advantage many times.
Look into themes from Bignadad. He does themes for liberty, rubix, and did one for the original 2.3.15 OTA. Check him out on twitter as well, and you can keep up on what he is working on. I would recommend Bignadad by far, he is in my opinion the most thorough with his themes, and they always look amazing.

You have to pay for the hotspot app to work unless you perform another modification such as the one that team black hat released to use it for free.

Yes, it will say its there, but you cannot use it without paying (kinda). There is another mod, where you start the program, then put the plane in airplane mode, then disable airplane mode and it works as if you had subscribed to the service...
or there is the tbh hack.. which they say is unethical, and they don't condone, so please read the whole page before using this... just a disclaimer.

Hmm is it just saying download unsuccessful? No error message or anything? If so could you get a logcat for whenever you try to download?
Sent from my HTC Glaciee using XDA Premium App
well, dunno how to get a log cat, and if its something that i need to download from the market that isnt happening. ive gotten it to download "most" of my apps a few times, other times it wont download anything at all. and by most i mean right when im done flashing it will try and auto download, and even though it gets most of them for every single one it pops up on the status bar saying it didnt.
A lot of people suggest clearing market and although this didnt work for me (I didnt wait a day like rockstar did) changing gmail did so the problem must be pretty simple . something to do with market not recognising gmail account or something. Unfortunately tou cant remove gmail without reset but still good to know there is a last resort.
edit: reflashed rom to see cos even though working with new gmail "my apps" obviously gone. Anyway same prob but I then cleared cache and data reset and all now ok with original gmail.
i'm hitting the same problem
it started last night after doing a Factory Data Reset.
at first everything was going pretty smooth but then the market downloads started to hang, eventually leading to a series of "download was unsuccessful, please try again." to pop up across the top of the screen.
each attempt I get the same problem, after selecting what to download from the market, the series of notifications goes as -
POP UP "your item will be downloaded"
BUT no download icon appears
EVENTUALLY "download was unsuccessful, please try again."
I've tried clearing the Markets cache and GMails (per another thread I saw) but still didn't work
the fails seem directly linked to the locally installed market on my phone since I have success installing from the market to my phone when on a computer, also the Amazon App store doesn't seem to have this issue either.
The phone wasn't rooted prior to the factory reset (and it's still not)

Well, it doesn't work on mine.
Netflix no longer works on either of my DX or my Optimus, used to work on both.
I cannot see the "stock" app in the Android Market, but I did run it from a link, the Netflix selection comes up, but when I play a video, after "Loading...."I get an error 1101 "sorry we could not reach the netflix service."
I have also tried running a modified version that did work previously for some, just not for me.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Thanks got it to work again. I dont know if i used that file on that link i posted a couple different places and download 4 diff suggestions 1 of the 4 worked. Like I said it worked fine up untili yesterday since i put it on then out of blue sorry new version available and sent me to market but nothing in market cause of droidx.
I updated to the 595 leak when it first came out and so i lost root. I know i could gingerbreak it but i installed gingerbreak but didnt run it until i decided somem came accross me where i needed root access . so mines not rooted and ive been running for weeks up until yesterday but its back up again !!

Go to your app drawer and look for a skull and crossbones Superuser app. Click it and see if you can add wifi tether to the list. If that icon is not there, you're not rooted.
It's there but when I press to turn it on it says I'm not rooted

I would run one click root again, if that does not work, SBF back to stock and then re-flash GB OTA and root once more.
