cant install angry birds - Desire HD General

I get error code - 18
Guys please can you help?

I've also have the same problem, does anyone have a fix?

guys, seriously? first thread, fifth post
looks like it's a problem with /sdcard/.android_secure/, either delete that folder or unmount sd card > install angry birds > re-mount sd card

Looked at them already!
I had to format the memory card on my pc, and then do a hard reset of my phone, now it will install and work np but sadly i got the pain that is reinstalling all software...

first try to delete the folder mentioned above.
if that doesnt help and you're using win7, it could help to use win7's repair function.
if not, you could reformat it, that should work.

mate its already done as i posted above, just finishing installing copilot on the card and im good to go!

I had the same issue for sometime. I have deleted all the system created folders from the SD Card. Then I was able to install it.

Apps installed to storage card wont run from start menu

Hi all,
This always happened to me. In winmobile 6 and now 6.5. For some reasons since yesterday apps which installed to my storage card disconnected it's link or short cuts in the start menu. Now all of the apps in my storage card i can't access from start menu. when i clicked the app icon in my start menu my HD2 responded
"Cant open XXX. File is not registered or not trusted in digital signature, or can't find one of the files elements. Please resintall or restore this file."
I have to go to the file directory in my storage card to run the apps. This is very annoying and very inconivence. Anyone knows why? What's worse is that all of the new apps that i installed to my storage card has the same issue... Which means i can't no longer install apps to my storage card...
Help?
Use file explorer to find your chosen program icon /copy it
Still using file explorer go to device/windows/start menu/programs and paste shortcut using left hand bottom menu
Job done ! Rename it if you want !
DISREGARD THE LAST MADE AN ERROR !!

if you go to file explorer can you read your sd card? I had the same issue and it was the sd card that failed so it could not read/find the program it was looking for. Try for kicks copying over some apps to a different storage card and retry. It will at least eliminate that possibility.
Yes, HD2 can read the SD card, and i have to go to the SD card location to run the apps. Just can not access from the start up menu...

So, install to phone mem instead and problem solved!
Anyone else can help? I think install to the main memory is not a very good idea.

I had the same problem you described. It happened after some old program I launched got the phone stuck and I had to pull the battery out to do a reset.
After the boot completed, I started to receive errors when trying to launch programs from the storage card. Uninstalling wouldn't work and reinstalling always failed.
Replacing the sd card didn't help either.
I believe that something corrupted the registry.
I finally gave up and hard reset.
The only good thing that came out of it was getting a new 16GB sd card for me to use.
My happened when i installed a lockscreen cab to my HD2 to the main memory. After that everything i installed to the storage card wont run from the startup menu.
Really? some dude told me to reformat my storage card. I'd rather do a hard resert cuz i have alot of crap in my 16G storage card.
I haven't gave up yet so i will still try to look for my other options... Thanks to know at least i am not the only one who encounter this fu**ing problem...

Gave up and hard reset a couple of times, and i found out that the reason i can't click the icon in my start menu to access the apps which i installed in my storage card. It was because of i change the local and Text. I changed from Taiwan to USA and HD2 will not let me access the apps from start menu. This is very wierd, but if i change back to Region: Chinese Taiwan, then my HD2 is ok again... Just to share with you guys...

[Q] Angry Birds Lite unable to install

Anybody go the same issue?
yep, doesn't install, just returns with some error 18 or something like that, no further nots
Bangsters 1.3 here
Unmount sd card then go back and install
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
thanks for the hint but... I'm a newby and how can I do it?
Thanks a lot, pal!
I guess it's Settings -> SD-Card and Storage -> Eject SD-Card (or something like that, my phone is set to german so no idea what it says there in english) but can't try atm.
done but... the game still doesn't install...
"Oh well, whatever, nevermind..."
yep, still won't install. same goes for Fruit Ninja, just tells me that installation failed, no further notes or explanations. and raging thunder 2 freezes my phone completely.
ok got it:
unmount sdcard -> install game -> mount sdcard
Hy there people, yeah i know it s boring those app that wont install.
The thing is not in mouting and unmounting sd in settings, i ve tried
a lot of things but noting works, except changing my custom rom.
I used froyostone rom the one with no sense clock can be found on forum.
I never could install angry birds and others app or games, even if i downloaded
the file via pc and put it on my phone with droid explorer.
So i changed to an other rom the one with cyanogen builds, yeah it work
for me to install angry bird lite, but got much other apps that wont install. But those same apps worked on my froyostone rom.
So i guess there are some settings missing in those custom roms so that it make
it possible to install everything..... be patient or buy a second sd card one where you install froyosense with an older 3d patch in it (yeah if i bench froyostone i got a worse benchmark than with cyanogen based rom) and one the
second card install an other vustom rom if you want to install apps that dont
work with froyo...
Ehmmm by the way does somebody know if there is a patch boosting froyostone
rom 3D because i got i a difference of 200 points when i use cyanogen based rom???

Suppose we have to unmount sd card,where should I put the source file?
Because usually I put everything in the SD card
Thanks
Thanks very much! This finally worked for me. I was unmounting, mounting then trying once I did it in the right order it loaded straight away.

I could still access it when going to the lowest directory level and then going to the sdcard folder. seems the card is not really unmounted, just for the system but you can still access it with astro:
press "Up" until it goes no further, then scroll down to "sdcard" and voila.

Amazing graphics on HD2 ))

I can't get this to install no matter what I do. I've tried DLing it from the market, DLing the apk to my card & installing it that way, but it just will not work. Unmounting the SD card doesn't work either. Has anyone gotten this to install on Shubcraft?
Unmounting the card worked for me as well. make sure you are doing it in the right order as the previous posts
Unmount the card
Install game
remount card
A lot of people were unmounting, remounting and then installing
Instructions work.
I was unable to find the file after unmounting. However, as suggested, clicking to the lowest level in Astro and selecting SDCARD revealed the contents. The SDCARD shortcut in Astro did not work, had to navigate as mentioned.
Hi,
Worked for me (umount sd / install through Market / remount) with the final version (released yesterday !)
HD2 Leo
[Mdeejay FroYo HD v.3.6]
[WM 6.5 netDrg 3.a HD2]
Unmount, install, mount - worked for me too..

Great solution, thanks!
This really does work for me! i read somewhere else that suggested to do:
rm /mnt/secure/asec/etc etc etc... but that didnt work...
glad to know there was an easier alternative.

Angry Birds full version released today but which version do we download?

As the title suggests, the full version of this game was finally released today. BEWARE, THE SITE KEEPS CRASHING DUE TO THE NUMBER OF HITS:
http://www.getjar.com/
but there are different versions for different android phones and I still haven't found the right one! The fact that the site keeps crashing due the volume of people trying to get the game means that I have only been able to download 2 versions, the desire version and the desire z. I don't even know if there is a version that will work for us yet but, if anyone has the right apk for the HD2 then please post it here.
Thanks

+1 I also have the same problem. I have a stock nexus one rom by tytung, and I cant get this game to work. Any solutions?
It is also in the market. I am downloading it now.
my question might be a bit off topic (don't want to create another thread), sorry about that, i have read in several threads that i need to unmount and then mount my sd card to install angry birds. just wanted to know how that unmounting/mounting procedure will affect the files in my sd card. basically, is there a possibility to loose all the data/files in the sd card? cheers
Yep,
They've released it in the market now so all is good.

I haven't had any problems with mounting/remounting my card. That's not to say that it's impossible to encounter some data corruption but I think you should be fine.

you also have to do this for some apps like Google Sky Map and Gameboid, it never effects the files on your SD card.

as far as I know its not actually unmounting the card, obv we're running android from the card so therefore all sorts of problems would occur no??
I think it just pretends to unmount the card......
not entirely sure though....
Either way, Ive never had any issues.
Also unmounting drastically improves the speed of marketplace downloads......
Not been able to install this bloody game though........... about to try unmounting.
Ive been told it can be installed via ADB, however this involves dl'ing the entire android SDK....... all for a 12meg game about bloody birds........
anyway..... lol
Is there any website to download this game and then install it? I download it fine but installation is unsuccessful ...

Method 1: Go to settings and unmount your SD card. Then open the Market and Download and Install Angry Birds, this will be succesfull and afterwards you can mount your SD Card again.
Method 2: Download Angry Birds (http://www.mediafire.com/?6e1yfy5yg6912nk) and copy it to your SD Card. Next, move the file from the SD Card to internal memory with ASTRO or any file manager. You can place it in the 'cache' folder or something like that. Then unmount your SD card, go to the folder and install the .apk. After the installation is complete, you can mount your SD card again
P.S. Unmounting your SD card will not shut down your Android or make you lose any settings/features. You can safely mount and unmount the SD Card

It'd be nice to get SD Card to unmount on my hd2 with mccm 1.5 build :/ ...
It says unmounting in progress and that's about it - never unmounts it and if I exit and come back to settings - shows option available to unmount - so no angry birds for me

Angry birds

I am getting unsuccessful installation.
Searched the forum and found this answer

But it cant apply to us since we CANT UNMOUNT SD CARD since Android is on it.
So what are you guys doing to make it work?
you still can un mount your card with android running.

Or use the new Hastarin kernel 8.2
When Android boots up, it puts Android into the RAM rather than run off the flash card. Unmount the SD card after boot, install the app, then re-mount it. Then all is fine!

USB Mass Storage mode CANNOT work - the phone runs Android off of the SD, hence the SD needs to be mounted for Android to work. Just in WinMo when the SD is unmounted from WinMo when you plug it in, the exact same thing would happen in Android - and then Android wouldn't be able to function... make sense?
You can use ADB with USB, but that is it. It's useful for debugging...

Arrghhhh is a standup guy and was very nice to answer most of my questions in the TP2 section. I didn't know the rules don't apply to the HD2 as well.
Anyuhow, Thank you guys. Worked like a Charm
just install kernel 8.2 ( put sd card in pc , copy zimage and folder called root in to your android folder )
Thanks everyone
Try changing the Android ROM,,,, I'm using the Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._2.3_Clean its the best one so far.... no prblm no lagging,,, its working great!!

Can't install apps to sd

Just realized I can't install apps to SD like angry birds or minisquadron. I figured I need to unmount SD and then load and it works.
Anyone know how I can fix this issue? I tried searching with no luck
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
are you getting error 18? if you are, i had the same problem today and i searched it on google. people said to delete the file smdl2tmp1.asec in the /sdcard/.android_secure/ directory. unfortunately for me, i didnt have the file so another solution suggeted what you did, unmount sd card, install/update app, mount sd and that worked for me
Once you unmount, install, remount you can then move to SD.

i used to be able to load these items on first try without unmounting.
I think the issue lies with flashing so many roms in the fast few weeks. Going to 322 and back to 318 must have written something to my sd card.
when a new rom comes out, i will move my crap off my sd card, format and try again. That will probably fix it.
i have tried deleting android.secure, data on my external sd, no help.
i also don't have that file on my phone to delete.
