[Q] Much help with the many problems - help me, help others. - Galaxy Tab General

Hi,
i have problems with my 2 months old tablet.
First big problem is that i cant install certain apps, its random
when i download and it try to install from market it says "cant install the software on to the standard installation place" its translated from swedish, im no expert on english.
But when i install from the pjone it just say that it couldnt be installed.
Some apps that i had i could use but if i unistalled them and try to install it didnt work.
Second problem is that i cant find system files, when i go to "my files"
i know im on internal sd and there is a folder named "external_sd" dunno howmuch space but i cant move so mcu into it.
Need to take away music.apkbut cant find it with a file explorer app that shows hidden files.
3th problem i have is not so big, but since a unistalled several apps its hmm how can i describe it, you have the app place where all apps are, its 20 on each page but now its 12 on one and. 7 on another and 19 and 16 etc, thr apps is gone but it hasnt been organised so its 20 on each page.
And 4th are more of a question, why does message shows up on "active programs"
it should exit when you leave it like phone and other integrated apps.

How do you import games in to Android?

Ive downloaded 1000's of apps and games for Android. Ive copied a few to my SD card but I cant seem to get to them when booted up in Android. Any one know how this can be done e.g. a short cut? Or is this not possible due to the market place activation?
Sorry if this has been answered before but i cant find it...
Any help would be great.
Cheers

Use DroidExplorer to install them, and make sure that "unknown sources" in application settings is selected.
I have found Dropbox is the easiest way to install apk files.
I have completely replaced, Astro, AndroZip, and Installer with.... Open Explorer. It does everything all 3 do, plus it enables bowser downloads without causing issues with Gmail attachments.
Great program.

Do you get an error or do they just stuck on 100% after downloading?

I get an error. But sometimes the download just cancels itself.
however, the main problem is the error. because i could download the apk file via rapidshare etc.
But the problem is the error. the error says after the install bar runs:
Application did not install. (in dutch)
The other problem, with the download cancelling is like this:
when selecting an app for download, the download bar starts running.
But after a few seconds the download bar disappears by itself. so eventually, the app never reaches my phone. in fact the download never completes.
so there are 2 problems. but the first problem is worse than the second.
However, it would be great if you could help me to solve them both.
First problem: i get an error when installing certain apps.
second: My downloads from the market wont complete.
sorry for any weird sentences, english is not my first language.
Kinda glad to know that I'm not the only one with the same problem... still trying to figure out what happened.
I know a clean install will fix the problem but I don't want to go through that again...
My phone is a Motorola Milestone running CM6 10.12.22
i just did a clean install from the latest android out there (darkstone superram 0.1) with the dutch vodafone data mod and i cannot download a single byte from the market. the market itself works fine over wifi or G3, but all files refuse to download.
thing that sucks as well is that i have the apk for applanet on the sd card but a cannot get to it as the darkstone lacks a sd card explorer app....
When that happened to me, Market reported an error -18. An online search recommended deleting a hidden directory ".android_secure" on the SD card. I'm running CM6.1 on a CDMA Hero with most of my apps running from the SD. From what I found online, that secure stuff is for Froyo apps2sd... which is why some apps downloaded and installed okay, and why some apps downloaded, but failed to install.
You can also try some cache dumps including Dalvik. Run "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager. Then try the downloads again. If that still doesn't work, you might want to delete the ".android_secure" hidden directory.
Make sure to do a Nand backup and copy the contents of the SD card onto your computer before attempting any fix. Play it safe.
Good luck.

[Q] Problem with some apps,

I'm newbie have a 1.2.1 firmware rooted with nook manager, everthing was working great but now some apps specially cool reader, it dosent save bookmarks o recent books, also opera can't download files, and other apps get error on sync, I guess the apps are unable write some files, i'm stoked, and i don't know how to solve it. i was guessing what i did, but i just kill the superuser app by accident. that some one has this problem before. also, when i unplug the sd card i can't open books. I tried to roote againg but didnt work, i asume is a problem with permissions, but i really don't know what to do. I tried to see permissions with root explorer, but in system folder i can't its normal?. (sorry for my bad english)

Can't root Lg Optimus L3 (and a whole other plethora of problems)

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm making this thread after countless hours of hopeless google search and a very short but rude cal with the LG LatAm support.
I got a second hand LG L3 (e400g) as a gift after my previous phone was stolen, I can't really get anything else due to lack of money so I intend to use this little baby for quite some time.
First of all, I noticed it didn't had WhatsApp, which is crucial for my work, or Facebook or Messenger so I went to get them from the Play Store but it always crashed, I found out the phone had no Google Play services so after getting an apk for that and updating the Play Store and trying to download any application the download always said "pending" and nothing happened so I downloaded an Whatsapp apk and tried to install it, but I found out I only had 5 mb of storage free because Play Store + Play Store services had taken 100mb out of the measly 150 mb the phone comes with (the other 45 being occupied with what I guess are system files and stuff.
Alright, didnd't matter, started to look for some help and found out that by rooting the phone I could install custom play store apks that would most likely work and, more importantly, I could delete bloatware and install apps on the 1gb internal and external memories.
I tried to Install the LG drivers but I couldn't make them work on my PC so rooting at home wasn't an option, called LG to ask for help on how to install that but they told me I was a poorfag for purchasing and old second-hand phone and couldn help me (not their exact words but it surely felt like that).
Tried installing the drivers at work and they worked! So i, very happily, tried to finally root my phone using Spectrum Root but it couldn't work either, so I tried SuperOneClick and it didn't work either. I took some screens but currently I'm at home and I forgot to bring them with me but Spectrum couldn't root anything because it "couldn't create directories" and SuperOneClick just froze on the 7th step of shell root.
What can I do? Anything that doesn't involve getting a new phone because honestly this is the only thing I could afford and I won't be able to change phone for some months so any help would be really appreciated.
TL;DR: Phone can't acces play store, stupidly small storage space and there's no apparent way to root it.

Root the phone with KingoRoot, it worked in my LG Optimus L5 E610/E612(f)...
Install Root Browser or a smaller size root browser app (download through your PC and put it in the phone) and delete some system apps/bloatware and get App2SD to install your apps to SD Card.

I'm gonna try that as soon as I go to work tomorrow because that's the only PC I've found that can instal the drivers properly, thanks for the tip!

I used kingo root and it was a success, however it didn't install any SU terminal or something like that which made me think the root didn't work. I googled some stuff and found out sometimes while it works it doesn't install the SU terminal so I had to get a 3rd party terminall app, i typed "su" and the "$" changed to a "#" which supposedly means it works. I got App2SD but the only apps it shows to transfer to the SD card are the ones I installed manually, none of the bloatware or default ones. And when I tried to use the terminal to set the default install location the SD card (pm setInstallLocation 2) it apparently didn't work because when I pressed enter to input the code the "#" didn't reappeared and the any other code I used later like "date" or "exit" did nothing either.

Use Root Checker Basic to see if you have rooted it successfully!
Use root browser to free some memory by deleting system apps and then get Ext2SD (I think that's the app's name or whatever), it swaps your SD card's memory with your internal memory, so for example, if you have a SD card with 64gb and you swap memories using the app, you'll get 64gb internal memory, google it!

Root checker said yes but I still couldn't use any SU command, so I just did the unthinkable and ran Kingo Root again and it finally worked 100%. But that didn't fixed the whole play store thing so I just flashed the phone and isntalled CM9 and it worked. I can use the play store and download stuff but only the original 2.3.6 one, if I update it it stops working but I don't care and I don't really want to fix that because I may break something else.
Now for the storage, I could finally use App2SD (Which is apparently called Link2SD or something like that because googling App2SD only gave me results of Link2SD) And save a whole lot of space on my phone and could finally install whatsapp and a couple of browsing apps and stuff but I couldn't install for example facebook because, while I could copy like half of the app to the SD I couldn't copy the data folder.
I searched for your app's name in your previous post but It turns out Ext2SD isn't an app but rather something like a partition format so I got a partition app and partitioned half of the Internal SD but it couldn't copy anything there and I couldn't recover the space either so half the internal memory is kinda dead now. Is there any way to fix this and to have some more storage space without breaking the phone?

I don't know... Try searching in the internet or just reflash CM9 and see if the partitions are fixed.
