I was having some issues with a couple of apps force closing, so I ran the "fix permissions" utility via ROM Manager. Well, that managed to completely kill my Market app. It force closes on startup now. I've tried clearing the Market cache and data from the Applications system menu. Anything else I can try? Is it possible to uninstall and re-install the market app?
I managed to fix this. I dropped into recovery and cleared both the cache and the dalvik cache. After rebooting, my market started working again.
Nookcolor with MN 4.5.25, 1.1 overclocked kernel. I had the market problem, but 4.5.25 cleared it up. It worked fine for a week or so. Then yesterday all of "My apps" disappeared from market except the several I paid for. I did the 4.5.25 market fix several times and the rename Vending.apk fix a couple of times, no cigar (I'm aware of the risk of appearing insane, so I won't keep doing the same thing over and over, at least not too many times). On the desktop Android Market, my account, "My Orders" shows only these same paid apps and two free apps (with no rhyme or reason as to which two, except both have been uninstalled by me). If this isn't clear to you, I am talking about the list of the apps I have downloaded on market. All of my apps are working fine on the NC.
If I find the rest of my apps on Android Market on the desktop, all are marked "installed". But they simply will not appear, no matter what I do, on the NC or on the "My Orders" screen on the desktop.
Short of downloading each again (my time, ambition, patience, and data allowance are limited) how can I restore the apps to list on "My apps" on the NC and "My Orders" on the desktop?
I have a Titanium backup taken a few days before the failure. Is this information kept in some data area in the NC and sync'ed to market? Could I restore an app or that app's data and get my apps back in sync? I hesitate to restore everything, as I am beginning to believe that I am digging a hole.
Waiting patiently for some informative responses, DaveD
I haven't resolved this problem, and am still waiting for suggestions. In the meantime, an additional problem. Whenever I install a new app, downloaded in the standard manner from market, market will then appear briefly when I try to load it again, then disappear. I then have to restore the market.apk with Titanium, after which i will work again until the next time I install an app. I will now see in the my apps section the same several paid for apps plus any additional that I have installed since the problem first occurred.
Please help if you can. I would like to fix this. DaveD
I am trying to figure out the best way to backup my data and apps.
I am between using Titannium Backup or Backup Pro.
Any suggestions....?
Also,
Do you know what's the easiest way to reboot into recovery mode?
I'm running CM7 off SD card. Tried the Power and N button combination, with no luck also tried selecting reboot into recovery mode from CM7 desktop.
Which backup?
Since no one else is responding, I'll give you my recommendation based on limited experience. I like Titanium, and after installing it quickly paid for the Pro version, for the simple reason that it allows multiple backups, which I consider necessary in any backup program. I don't know about backup pro. But overall, among the two dozen or so apps I run, both free and paid, Titanium Pro appears to be the highest quality of them all.
Regarding rebooting into recovery mode, I don't know how else to reboot . See the next item in this thread for additional info on that.
Well, since no one is either interested enough or can help, I took the plunge and fixed it myself. If there is any interest, here is the only answer I could come up with.
First, I tried selectively restoring system apps with Titanium. I ended up restoring 20 or so. All that did was got me deeper into it. At the end I could no longer download apps--it would come up with the infamous "starting download" and that was the end of it.
So I decided to start from scratch, attempting to revert the Nook to it's original 1.1 out-of-the-box unregistered version. I followed the directions in the Nook Wiki (don't remember the two items and don't have time to go looking, as will be the case with a lot of the explanation below). I started with the ADB interface and entered the reboot failure 8 count from the desktop, upon which it rebooted, but did so into ClockWorkMod recovery, and recovered to the MN 4.5.25 system I was trying to get rid of. So, ignorant as I am about how all this works, I did the eight reboot failures manually, same thing, same thing. Now, I guess I could have gone in and uninstalled ClockWorkMod, but didn't think of that. So next time I tried it (third), I had recovery reset all data and cache. Then when I rebooted I was in NookColor stock 1.2, without rooting. But every time I tried to get back to out-of-the-box 1.1, I entered recovery again.
Now, withe the expectation that I could reinstall MN for the express purpose of killing ClockWorkMod recovery, then go about following the directions in Wiki which should work, I MN'ed it. Upon reemerging into MN, market worked! So I installed the 1.1Ghz kernel, and started reinstalling the apps, which I am still doing. No need to go back to the 1.1 clean level, as far as I have seen. Some of the old apps are still there, but most are gone. Again, no rhyme or reason as to which apps. But it works.
I could reinstall the old apps from Titanium, which I did for Dolphin merely to get the latest Beta 5.0.6 back and for the bookmarks, but for the most part am reinstalling from market, as I need for market to be aware of the apps I have.
Bottom line, it is much easier to wipe the Nook (provided you get ClockWorkMod out of the way first) and reinstall apps then to spend hours upon hours trying to figure out how to fix a market problem. Market is nice and solid with 4.5.25; I hope it stays that way this time (I don't know what caused the original failure, but I am highly suspicious that it was operator error)! I guess a clean wipe and reinstall to 4.5.25, including an overclocking kernel and apps, will take an hour or so, less if you reinstall apps from backups.

titanium pro is the only way to go. buy it!. I had back up pro before and had to uninstall it because it would not reinstall from time to time. titanium pro always works and with the pay version you can batch activities not like the free version where you'll have to do it one by one. anyway, if you restoring with titanium pro remember to restore apps only and not the data. you don't want to pass on bad data to your fresh flash.
with the market did you try to clear cache in application manager? sometime this will help. go to settings / application / manage application / view all and scroll down to market and clear cache and data. I also think you'll need to clear cache and data with google services framework, but I forget, not sure.
for flashing nighties (only if you're going from cm to cm) all you have to do is wipe partition cache, not data and wipe dalvik cache and flash your new nightie. all of your app will be there. I hope this helped a little. good luck.

Hey guys, got myself into a bit of a problem here. First, an app I'd installed disappeared....I went to the market to redownload it, and it kept saying "Package file has a bad manifest". So I went to the Application settings and uninstalled it.....same problem. So, I figured I'd wipe the system cache to see if that helped. So I booted into recovery (stock recovery, stock rom) and wiped the cache. Rebooted.....and the Market started telling me that I didn't have enough internal storage and all my downloads would fail. I read some things saying to wipe the market cache and data, etc, so I did all that and uninstalled the market updates, leaving me with the old market instead of Google Play. Now, it still wouldn't download anything. I managed to find an apk of a log viewer, since I couldn't download one from the market, and it was saying download aborted - internal storage is full whenever I tried to download an app. I have plenty of storage. From what I could find, the market downloads apps to /cache. I tried to copy some files to /cache, just to see what would happen, and they copied fine. They disappeared a few minutes later. I've tried wiping the cache a few more times. It says it wiped it, and then says it can't mount cache:recovery/log. I found one guy who fixed this by repartitioning his cache. Can I do this? I'd try a hard reset but I'm a little hesitant because if it didn't work, I'd be stuck unable to download any apps. At least now my phone is usable. Amy help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Well, what a surprise. I installed 2ndInit for the Defy, booted into its recovery, wiped the cache, and it's good as new all of a sudden. How strange.
Feel free to lock/delete this. Or leave it in case anyone else happens to have this odd issue..
Every single time I try to restore a backup I always wipe data, cache and dalvik and then I restore the backup made with clockwormod in the clockworkmod recovery. But I always get the next message: ''Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped'' which is very frustrating because I have to press ok everytime it appears and every time I close it, it opens again; so I can't use my phone. Also, Google Play, Dropbox, Googe partner setup and I get those messages too. I've searched for help on many sites and they keep telling me to go to apps manager and stop download manager, google play services, google framework, etc. And I managed to go to settings and do it in the only second I have between closing the message and it opening itself again. But it didn't work. Also I wiped cache and dalvik after restoring but still get the loop. The only thing I can do to stop the loop is wiping data but I don't want to lose my data (that's why I made the backup that doesn't work now). I also tried advanced restore and restored everything but data, I didn't get either the loop or the data. And when I restored only data in advanced restore I got the loop. Also I tried flashing the gapps for Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat from recovery but still got the loop. Maybe it happens because I had uninstalled most of the google apps that came as system apps using ROM ToolBox pro?
Hi all,
I have a G900I running Nougat. Recently My phone started getting slow, so I reset the phone. Here is where the issues occur, I had restored some apps and it worked for sometime but took a very long time to restore my existing apps that were installed, so I figured lets reset again and start without restoring at all.
Now the biggest issue is to get apps download at all. I can only update the existing apps that were installed. I have tried many solutions from google but no go from disabling the google play store app, clearing cache and for Google Play Services. as well. I keep on getting the Google play error of 905 and 495. I am quite stumped on how to fixed this issue.
Is there any method to fix this issue? I hope I am not resorted to root and install a custom rom to fix this issue. I have attached a screenshot of the stock rom I am running.
