So I have a bunch of apps that I want to install, and I can't because (at least I think) I'm running CM6, and the apps are compatible with 2.1 or lower. For what it's worth, I haven't applied the OTA update yet.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
Titanium Backup
Not really sure what you mean. I didn't purchase them yet. Should I revert to a 2.1 build, buy the apps, back them up, reflash, then install them via titanium backup?
That is a pain in the *** but if it's the only way, I guess I'll give it a whirl.
Any other ideas?
I don't know about u but im having issues using titanium backup when im on froyo. For some reason some apps i backed up on 2.1 won't restore with 2.2 roms. I tried this with all versions of skyrider and cm6. Although that might just be the apps incompatability with froyo its happening with about 70% of my backups

Plug in your SD card, and turn on SD card storage before you restore the apps.
It's because they are trying to install to your SD card even though you don't have a partition set up on your SD card.
If your SD card storage is turned on, they don't detect an sd card and install to the internal storage.
Happened to me with a bunch of my apps too.
Haven't had a problem restoring any apps with titanium backup donate version. Running sky raider 1.9 atm but have used 1.0, 1.7, 1.8 also without problems

Same here, used TB to restore all my apps on SkyRaider 1.9. The only app that didn't restore was Google Sky.

Plug in your USB cable, enable the USB connection, then download it from the market. It's a froyo bug with any app that tries to force itself to install onto your SD card. If the SD card isn't mounted, it will install to internal memory. Do the same thing with any other apps you find that download but won't install.

Cool, thanks. The only other problem I have is with NFL mobile. The app runs fine but when I try to watch the live stream, I get a network error.
ive been trying to figure this out since yesterday but i am completely lost and really need help..
this started yesterday. i had my phone connected with adb and pulled some files (LatinIME.apk, framework-res.apk). i did not push or delete any. around the same time i download fx camera. all the work i did was actually just on the computer. the only thing i did on the phone around that time was use root explorer to check the name of the .apk for fx camera.
im not sure if any of that could possibly mean anything but i thought maybe it was worth mentioning.
here are the symptoms. right after i was done the phone was acting sluggish and crappy (it always does when i disconnect from usb since i switched to froshedyo v10) so i rebooted. upon booting up, 90% of apps were missing. i didnt feel like using titanium backup to manually "ok" each install, so i opted for a fairly recent NAND backup to restore to. i did but upon booting up, the same apps were missing.. very weird right? i know they were there when i made the backup.. so now i decided i had to use titanium. but when i began i noticed that it wouldnt install any app. it would hang on the "installing" screen forever. i rebooted and this time tried an app from the market, only to have the same results.
i did try wiping everything and starting fresh (with froshedyo v10). a strange thing happened. after logging in and setting up the basics i left it alone to restore the apps. when i checked later i had the notification, "applications partially restored". i never had that before.. it seemed like maybe a few more apps were there, but not much. i was mostly in the same boat. and again, titanium backup and market would not install any apps..
please help.. whats going on??
---------latest info--------
i wiped everything and tried to start fresh with a brand new copy of nonsensikal 16.1. no apps were restored, and i am unable to install or uninstall any app on the phone. it will just hang on the installing/uninstalling screen.
i have done multiple wipes and flashes, testing each time to see if anything is working, but it has not worked once. i can not install or uninstall any apps.
Were you using Apps2sd? I wonder if it could be something with that. Especially if your rom seems to be fine. Is everything else showing up on your sd card?
the file manager on the phone shows all my sd card contents just fine.
i believe when i first installed this rom about a week ago i did find an option somewhere in settings that said "choose location to install apps" (i chose external) and "allow moving of apps to external" (i chose yes).
Try downloading Eris market fix from the market. See if that works.

oooh, i would love to download that app from the market if it might fix my inability to download and install apps. if only i was able to download and install apps..
Oops, my bad. I just skimmed over your post and saw 90% of apps gone. So even if you had an apk on your sdcard it wont let you install it?

I don't think you have a market problem...it sounds like an sd card issue which would explain alot of the symptoms including issues when unmounting from pc. If all your apps are installed on the sd and the card doesn't mount right they will "dissapear" as you have described. Try changing the setting to install apps back to internal and then apps should install. If apps install after you do that it probably means the sdcard is corrupted so you will need to back up the files on your sd and then reformat the card. PLEASE remember to back up the sd card before reformatting since it has your nand backups on it. The market fix is only a fix for apps not showing in the market not on the phone.
lol its ok rhamej.
i think i should clarify though that i do have a market. it may be worth noting that i used to have a blue themed market, which during this problem seems to have reverted to the stock green market. but i do have a market.
when i try to install from the market, it just kind of stalls when i accept the terms and permissions needed by the app. like, when i click the final "ok" which should then lead to the app actually beginning to download, it just stops. doesnt freeze the market or FC, its almost like the button is unresponsive.
when i try to install an app via file manager from sd card, it hangs on the "installing" screen. same with titanium backup.
----------developments------------
i couldnt stand not having my apps so i did a NAND back to nonsensikal. my apps were all restored this time but im still having problems installing.
from the sd card: hangs on install.
from the market: now will download, but hangs on install.

i did change that one setting back to internal, and disallowed moving apps to external. it didnt seem to make a difference though. i will take your advice on backing up the data and reformatting though. thanks.

we must have been posting at the same time but these all still sound like what i mentioned in my above post. Your apps are back with nonsensikal because they probably weren't installed on sd when you made the nand for that rom.

lol posting at same time again...you are probably typing right now...try rebooting the phone also after the setting has been changed....for some reason froyo depends too much in my opinion on the sd card and really can cause issues with it.
quick question. what format should my micro sd card be in? i know i formatted it right around the time i got it, to FAT32. im assuming thats correct but i would like to double check. google isnt answering my question fast enough..
still no progress.
i wiped everything, flashed a new nonsensikal 16.1. apps didnt automatically come back. i can not install or uninstall apps on the phone. they all hang on the installing/uninstalling screen.
how could this have happened? how can i fix it? i will gladly do a more thorough wipe. i wiped data and davlick. what else could i do to completely reset my phone to fix this problem? that is assuming that there is no other ideas of options.. i hope there is!
edit: in regards to previous ideas, i reformatted my sd card (FAT32) and replaced all the files.

You could try the flashback 21 file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
That should take you back to stock and replace your custom recovery with the default one. You could then re-root. I don't know if that's what you want, but that would be about as complete of a reset as you could get as far as I know.
Does anyone else know if this is the best option? I would hate to mislead...
I had a problem similar to this after I dropped my phone. I could not install any apps (market or .apk) and reading of my SD card was spotty at best. What fixed it for me was first deleting the .android-secure folder on the sd card. [NOTE!: this may delete some/all apps/app data you have so I hope you have a backup]. I have no idea why but the .android-secure was not happy at all ;] I believe you have to delete it on a computer because android file managers just can't do it.

Did you put all your files back on your sd card after reformatting it? I would try reformatting the card and then see if it works before you put your files back on. Like the previous poster said the android_secure folder could be messed up and if your copying it back could still cause issues.

There is a link talking about doing this on the op of my floyo rom thread
well that android_secure thing seems to have been the problem! thank you guys very much! i just deleted it and rebooted and i am now able to install and uninstall apps, both from the sd card and market.
it got to the point where i couldnt connect via usb unless i was in recovery so things were getting pretty frustrating. im glad its over. any guesses what might have caused this craziness?
Ok so I installed an Android NAND Rom on my HD2, this is my 3rd ROM I have tried, all the others were fine, but with this one I have no internal memory, it shows up as 0.00b (completely empty) and I am trying to figure out what I can do to fix this problem.
I tried switching back to old ROM's but that did not work. I have also cleared my cache on my phone, that did not work either, anything you guys can do to help me?
Is there anything I can do to use my SD card as my default memory? I have a 16GB card but I can't install apps onto it. I can't install any apps at all. Nothing works.

Which ROM you used?
Please goto ROM Thread and ask cooker about that and flash follow his suggestion
thats what im trying to say to everyone - read through your ROM thread, there must be some instructions on how to make it work.
but i never had this problem.

+1 on this answer, @OP,sounds like you have flashed a large cwm partition layout that has taken up all the space for the system partition, a 400 one perhaps?
Same problem

Same issue here. Installed MIUI 2.9.29 on HD2 Leo. Internal memory shows 0.00B, which cannot be true. I did a complete wipe before installing ROM. Actually, after installing I did also factory reset/wipe cache/ wipe Dalvik, but nothing helps.
Searched for solution on this site and elsewhere, the only plausible advice is "clean reinstall", which is cumbersome for me.
Thanks if you share your thoughts.
EDIT: I used 150MB partition.

lol, this is what happened when I partitioned my NAND to 400/5 & installed Boxmax Sense 3.5 after flashing I have 0.00mb meme left :silly:
Hey guys. I have a problem with my HD2 Device. My first android rom was NexusHD2 Beta1 like 4 months ago. It worked and i had no problems but i decided to install Miui instead of ICS. The Miui rom was really fast and smooth and didnt crash. Now i wanted to get back to ICS with HWA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860).
I did a clean installation but the rom crashes randomly like within 2 minutes. I have no clue why it crashes i will tell you know how i installed it and maybe i forgot something and you can tell me what i did wrong.
I used HD2 Nand Toolkit and used Task29 at first. Then i installed MAGLDR and recovery with 200mb and 5mb cache. Then i opened CWM and installed the Rom. After that i installed Darktremor A2SD like it is said in this FAQ:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._CM9_FAQ#How_shall_I_install_these_scripts.3F
I hope my english is not too bad and you can help me to figure out why my phone crashes .
I took a look at the ROM and the Apps2SD in the XDA Wiki. Are you sure you followed all the directions in the installation instructions of the ROM. You may need to delete the Android folder from your SD card as it does say the following in the ROM thread OP.

Also in the Wiki it says you have to format your SD card. So you may need to format your SD card also.
Yeah could be a problem but i even tried it without A2SD and it still crashed :s

If it still crashes without the Apps2SD then delete the Adroid folder from your SD card. I went back and edited my first post a little so you may have misssed me mentioning that.
Oh god it seemes that it works now! Its - like everytime - that simple but you Sir are my hero! :'D im really thankful ..
Hi All,
I've recently installed the new Jelly Bean Miui update and have come across a few issues...
I backed everything up with Titanium Pro, flashed and restored but had a fair few programs crashing (mainly system ones!)
After a bit of cache clearing I had it down to Google apps which I assume I need to stop restoring when flashing as the JB ones are newer than the ICS versions I'm restoring (obvious really lol - edit - gapps files?)
Anyway...I'll do it all again but are there any further hints?
My external SD card is now also corrupt so should i have unmounted it before doing all this?
Edit - it seems version 2 will fix most of my issues....any idea on the SD card? Is there a way to ensure it doesn't corrupt other than unmounting and removing?
Ummm where did you get this at?
