Does anyone have an issue with the market force closing randomly? I am trying to download an app it will get to 50% then I get the FC. Any ideas? I am running Ultimate Droid 3.3.0
Try fixing permissions in recovery

That didn't work. Fudge that, going back to Sense
market
This is a problem on some roms. A fix for this if you don't mind using old market is to go into applications and uninstall update for market to take it back to old version then go into titanium backup and freeze market updater. Next time you go into market you should be running old version and it will work fine without updating to new. I have tried another fix by editing script but did not work for me. I found this option the easiest and best way for me. Hope it helps.
What rom are you using?

Why my new market always force closed, I'm used TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.5.7[2.3.5] ROM.
you need to set cache folder permissions , or it will force close.
if you like the new look of the market youll need to make script to change cache folder permissions or do it manully every time you reboot your phone.
if you dont like the new market, you can goto settings/ applications/ manage applications/ scroll down to market and click unistall update, then use titanium back to freeze market updater app.
if want to keep the new market download this app and install it on your phone. open it up, hit menu button/new/ new script/ name whatever you want it then okay, new window pops up hit script manager edit, type su(hit enter) chmod 777 cache (hit enter) now hit menu key, save, hit back button til youre out of the editer window, (should be two pushes) scroll till you see your file name you made, tap it/ select run as root and run at boot, hit save. exit all the way out and reboot, after boot su will pop up asking allow or deny, hit allow and market should work fine from then on.

this is the method i used to get the new market look. works fine.
Thanks
Definitely hit the thanks button!! Much appreciated MonteCarlo5! Started with this problem last night and have cleared cache, wiped, with no success and didnt want to freeze the market updates. Thanks again! Great instructions!
I'm getting the android.process.media and the com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly
I'm using the the AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.5 CM7 bk2sdext KERNEL:ACA725.
Can anyone help me with this version to stop the force close?
It works fine to display, not download
I followed the steps. Now it doesn't force to close, but when I tried to download an App (such as Google+), it still force to close.
08/18/2011 update: After few reboots. New markets works fine now (I don't know why, but it's fine now). Thanks for the solution.
So my market updated to 3.0.27 a few days ago and I've been having constant problems with it ever since! I'm running Pongsters Hyperdroid rom and it's always worked flawless for me, so I don't think that's the problem. Every time I try and update my apps or download and app the market force closes. Its driving me insane! I've tried clearing cache, date, and restarting but nothing helps. Anyone have any advise? Thanks!
Did you installed it from a trusted source?
I had this once to and installed it from a better source and the problem was gone.

It just updated automatically
Just uninstall updates on the market. Then (and I'm not sure about this, you should get a second opinion before doing this) I think you have to freeze the market updater to stop it re-updating.

How would I go about freezing it? Because everytime I uninstall updates, it just reapplies it the next time I use it!
Anyone?

well the best and easiest thing for you to do is to un-install the market update and freeze market updater app using titanium backup freeze fuction.
download this free version of titanium and install to your phone, goto settings/ appplications/ manage applications/ scroll down til you see market and tap on it/ tap on un-install update. now exit to home, then open titanium backup and hit menu button/ batch/ scroll down til you see freeze all user and system apps and tap run next to that line/ tap deselect all (make sure you do that FIRST) scroll down til you see market updater and put a check next to and push run the batch operation at top of screen. exit to home after its done, open market ( it will close by itself, dont worry) open market again and you should be good to go. good luck!
Ok well the easiest thing that has worked for me is to get root explorer 2.14.2 and go in, touch and hold on the cache folder and check all permissions and no more force close! the downside of this is you have to do this every time you reboot your phone, but its better than writing a script.

thats true, an easy way but as you said, youll have to do that every time after a reboot. writing the script is easy, just follow my steps and you be good, you wont have to change the cache folder every time you reboot then.

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?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
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 hours of trying to figure out how to install apps outside of the U.S. without going through all of the 'get a U.S. credit card' stuff, I finally worked out a method.
NOTE: This will work on any Second-Gen Kindle device (KF2, KFHD, KFHD8.9)
Go into the system settings (access from the notifications panel by hitting 'More')
Go to 'Device' and hit 'Allow Installation of Applications'. Make sure it's ON
Press Home, and open the Web Browser
Go to m.getjar.com (I can't parse links, copypaste it). Try to download any app and it will download the GetJar app for you
When it has finished downloading, open the Notifications panel and tap on the 'getjar.apk' notification
It should prompt you to install it. Do so.
Once it has completed, open up the web browser again and go back to GetJar
Download any app. It will prompt you to choose between GetJar and Silk. Choose GetJar.
Once the app has finished installing, run it!
Not a hard process at all, and you don't have to go through rooting it and all that, which makes things get complicated and annoying (not to mention warranty-voiding)
I recommend downloading a file explorer to make this easier
Enjoy, friends :laugh:
This is a guide to debloat the KIW-AL10 and make stock Chinese usable.
First download Minimal adb and fastboot from here and install it.
Download HISuite and use that to install huawei drivers
Next Make sure developer options by hitting build number 7 times then open developer options and make sure usb debugging is activated in the developer options.
Plug phone into computer and install drivers, any unknown device will be adb so right click and select choose driver from list then select android devices then adb interface, always choose the older driver version for this phone.
One you have that installed you need to unlock your bootloader a great guide is here
Once you have unlocked the bootloader download install twrp using minimal adb and fastboot
First reboot into fastboot..
First check the device is present. using the command :adb devices
then boot into bootloader using the command : adb reboot-bootloader
if that doesn't work turn off device then switching on quickly hold down the volume down button while inserting the cable into the device
The device should then have a white screen with a robot and say unlocked in green writing
find the recovery image you downloaded and if its a different name rename it twrp.img so you know which one it is, files everywhere can get quite messy !
Now right click on the minimal adb link on the desktop and click open file location..
Now put the twrp.img file into the folder with the minimal adb files and close the window.
now flash the recovery using the command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Voila if everything is sucessful your phone now has twrp recovery !
Next use the following command: adb reboot recovery, if that doesnt work force a shutdown by holding the power button then let the phone boot while holding down the volume up button, it should boot into recovery.
Next MAKE A BACKUP THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND WHEN ITS DONE COPY IT TO A SAFE DRIVE DO NOT KEEP IT JUST ON YOU SD CARD IN CASE YOUR CARD DIES ! BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THIS PHONE AND THE FACT THAT YOU CANT FLASH NON VOLTE ROMS ON THIS PHONE THIS IS YOUR ONLY WAY OF RESTORING THE PHONE SO GUARD IT LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT !
Now get a cup of coffee and have a break its not good to rush things
Now to root your phone..
Finish your coffee.
Download supersu from here
Put the zip onto your phones sd card and boot into recovery, select install and select the supersu zip and let it install, once done reboot the phone, it may reboot a few times thats normal dont panic, once the phone has finished booting check you have the su app installed, if so now we can do the rest of the stuff.
Next download google play store from here and install it
After opening the play store and signing in you will probably be told to update google services, let it do it then reboot the phone
Next using the play store download root explorer
Next stage is to make the dialer English. and remove yellow pages.
Using root explorer navigate to /cust/alltelecom/cn/prop
hard press on the file local.prop and select open in text editor using the 3 dots on the top right
Look for the following lines of code ro.product.locale.region=CN or similar
Change this to ro.product.locale.region=GB (or whatever your location is such make sure the country code is in CAPS )
Save the file
Now navigate to /system and open build.prop in text editor and change the following lines of code so they end in County matching code not cn
Example
ro.product.locale.region=GB (or whatever your location is such )
ro.product.locale.language=en (or whatever your location is such )
ro.product.locale.region=GB
Go slow there is lots of lines there but you will see them if you take your time
select save and exit from root explorer then reboot.. viola the chinese and yellow pages is gone !
After reboot you may get a baidu warning about location tracking, dont panic we will kill that bugger next !
Next install system app safe remover from the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en_GB I always use this as its simple and keeps a backup of the removed app (just in case of problems)
Use that to remove all the chinse apps from the system including hivoice or it will interfere with google assistant, they are self explanatory
as they are all in chinese !
Next remove hi app
hi care
huawei id
network location (this is the one causing the nag screen dont worry work it will still work.
then reboot phone, there should be no more warnings about baidu location.
Now to get services google working.
You my have notice that despite installing a google account you contacts havent synced. we will fix that now..
To get google contacts to sync you need to install google contacts sync adaptor 6.0.1 from here
After you have installed it open up system apps and check it permision contacts is allowed, also open the battery setting and check it runs at boot and while screen is off, if there are no options for that ignore that bit and exit.
while you are there check google play services permission are all on especially contacts then reboot
Now install the google app from the app store
next install google assistant from the play store
now install google photos from the play store
Next install google chrome from play store
next install google calendar from the play store
next install google plus from the play store
next install google maps from the play store
next install youtube from the play store
Next install gboard from the play store
Then when all is done reboot the phone
After reboot check all the permissions of the apps and make sure all the google apps run at boot and keep running after screen off or they wont sync etc then reboot again.
Change horrible huawei keyboard to gboard in language settings
Open the google app and setup google and check your contacts have synced. set up the rest of your settings
Get a decent launcher as the huawei one sucks I use nova launcher prime its worth every penny but the free one is still good
Open settings app and click advanced, here you can change default launcher and select default app setting then select assistance and voice input, selectassist app as google select use text from screen and select use screenshot
I think that pretty much it, the rest you should be able to do yourself, have fun and good luck, any questions just ask.
I wrote this guide as there is very little info on the AL10,
Happy modding !
Very useful
Very useful post, my first venture into phone modding, enabled me to use my KIW-AL10 with Google functionality and to avoid the worst excesses of the stock Chinese software. Thanks!

Thanks for the thanks ! glad it was of use to you, I wrote another guide which enables volte to be removed and put lineage os on instead which you may find useful, its a fairly lengthy process but foolproof and doesn't brick the phone which was my main concern as there is nowhere to download the stock roms for these 3gb variants, cheers

So, the phone worked ok for a month, but then started restarting itself all the time. I deleted loads of apps, but it didn't solve the problem. Now, I decided to try to solve the problem by installing a custom ROM, so first step was to wipe the phone with TWRP. After wiping, I no longer had root access, and now installing SuperSU doesn't work, I can install the .zip through TWRP recovery, but I still don't have root access afterwards, according to Root Checker. Any ideas? Thanks!

OK, so I have tried quite a few times to install Lineage OS 14.1 and Viper, with both they get stuck in a bootloop. Trying to install Lineage with this guide https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kiwi/install, the 'format data' stage is not successful. I get a message saying ' E:Unable to wipe '/data' - unknown file system 'auto Unable to format to remove encryption '.
I'm not totally committed to a custom ROM, but I'd like this phone to work. Any ideas, either how to troubleshoot the ROM flashing issue, or to get the phone stable with the stock de-Chinesed stock ROM? Thanks!
