Market Apps will not install - G2 and Desire Z General

I've tried searching for this but I haven't found anything that works. I was on the SiulMagic's sense port and wiped/flashed to MIUI earlier and began to have issues with downloading apps from the Market. Hours and 3 different ROMs later I'm not back on the Sense ROM and I still cannot download anything. I'm getting a "Download was unsuccessful, please try again error" on every app and I have no idea what to do.
I've tried every combination of Force Stops and Data Clears that I can and it isn't helping.

That's strange to be honest. Did you go into titanium backup and then find the market and then select wipe data? Might help

god i am dieing with the same issue did you ever get yours going

Wild shot here can your try clear data, and all that jaz then try to uninstall update for market, then try?

Already tried all that did a superwipe but every time you first launch the market it automatically updates

I think all you need is to delete the smdl2tmp1 from the folder .android_secure on your sdcard. Its known to cause problems - helped me also.

Yep, exact same issue here. I flashed siulmagic's new port last night and since then have been unable to download from the market no matter how many different wipes and roms I try. I made a nandroid before flashing the sense rom of my perfectly functioning CM7 and even going back to that doesn't allow me to download from the market anymore. This is pretty messed up and hopefully a fix is found for this soon

Do this...

After alot of testing I have found out the problem does not have to do with your rom or your phone its your google account try testing with a friends account or create a random one it will download apps fine but even if you get a new phone using your current account you will have the same issue. For now you should be able to use the desk top site.

Alright, so yeah it is definitely not a rom issue and I was able to fix my problem by accessing the Android Market website from my phone and downloading an app from there. It downloaded and installed successfully from there and now my market is downloading all my apps normally on my phone from the market app itself

just tried it did not work for me sent google a market help message heres to hoping

Aaaand my post has been succesfully ignored..

A long shot: unmount sdcard, try to install something.

Sounds like an issue you need to talk to a developer about fixing. This error that you are recieving, is the after math of a developer including and old outdated Market app. It would help to wipe or update but it seems like you are having issues with that too. You need to talk to a developer about this old Market app issue, and how it can be fixed. Hope I helped.

Thanks did that last night, market help got back to me at 5 with a message saying they are working on it. All of of the sudden everything is working perfect don't no what they did but glad they did it.

This market issue is annoying already, is there a fix for it?

Ok I know im not the only one to experience this but it happens ALL THE TIME NOW. Whenever I get an update or want to download a new app. It downloads then when it gets to 100% it just stays there!! Then I have to click cancel and keep trying till it finally installs. And all those downloads that didn't install the apk goes into your downloads folder on your SD card. This seems to only happen with ALL the extra kernels. Im just wondering if there is an easy fix that I've overlooked cuz I have checked everywhere and just can't find one. Thanks ahead of time for any help with this.

I've experienced this a few times but not consistently. Has this happened on multiple roms or just one? If you haven't already, I would go into Applications and force stop the Market, Clear Cache then reboot. You could also try flashing the latest gapps found in the CM 6 RC 2 thread.

Yes this has happened on multiple roms, ONLY after a flash a oc kernal though. But thx I will try that.

YouTube update wont install

Im using the miui rom and already tried uninstalling YouTube via titanium backup.. Whats the deal?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Got the same issue running CM6. It says the app is not signed correctly
Delete it from system/app then adb push it. Everyone had the same issue when gmail and car home came to the market.
New YouTube is stunning though. Hint to what Gingerbread will be like?
Sent from my HTC Desire
But why is it? Because of the custom rom? Also, how do i do the adb thing? Could you be more precise?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think its because its originally stored in system/app and after we update, it tries to store on your SD, without properly deleting the system version.
Something like that anyway

To use Widgets; apps must be stored in phone memory. Once you update YouTube goto settings>applications>manage applications select YouTube and move to phone.

A Solution
I had the same problem - tried installing and got package incorrectly signed, solved it by uninstalling YouTube with Titanium Backup, restart, and then installing from the market.
If i tried installing straight after the uninstall it failed - meaning restart is a must.
Using OpenDesire 4.0.36.
I have manage to install new ver.
first delete from system/app/youtube.apk than also
in data/app/youtube.apk
restart
& now download new Youtube from market or if you tray to install
before downloaded apk file ,should be in SD/download/download3.apk
or some other nummber

ROM Manager premium

I'm trying to decide if I want to go to the premium rom manager. I've been loving on some skyraider for a long time but I keep hearing about miui roms. Any suggestions?

i wont go premium until they fix it for HTC Incredible. When using ROM manager, after installing a ROM from the app and going in to recover autmatically(it gives you this option after the inital download) after the download it wont install automatically. I have to go toggle the the security(or whatever its called)disable and then download from sd card and look for ROM manually. I have reported to the deveolper but never no responce. But I would love to use the ROM manager how its supposed to be. If it loads the ROMS for you automatically I would suggest on buying. Great App!

I've been using it on my dinc with absolutely no problems. I've used it to flash more roms than I care to think of. I don't know why you're having trouble.
OP: Support the developer, I got premium.
I guess my real question is is the miui rom worth paying for rom manager?

Same here. Other than Clockwork Mod having issues since I have a new SLCD Dinc (for which there are fixes) the app works flawlessly. I bought it if only to support the developer.

I used MIUI for a day and wasn't all that impressed. Yeah, it was flashy and shiney and new, but once that wore off, it wasn't anything special in my opinion. Went back to SkyRaider.
Its worth it if you like how the roms look i like them and ive never had a single issue
Besides miui and cm nightlies what other benefits are there from going from free to premium?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I do agree that supporting the Dev is nice and that's why I don't use the ad free app.

Doesn't it let you install from SD too or something?? I kinda of went premium aright away
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
ROM manager is a life saver for me, i have had zero issues as well. bought it to not only support the dev but because it's just an essential app for any ROM flasher.
i use adfree because i dont like apps that send personal information to ad agencies. it's a privacy issue for me. i buy apps if there is a version available.
Can't you just download the roms yourself and flash via recovery? That's what I do....never have to use rom manager unless I want to fix permissions or something.

Rom manager premium is a great app. Way too many benefits like "Fix permissions".
Costs lesser than the value of the time you have spent trying to figure it out. Seriously!

Install ROM from SD Card
Download ROM
Check for ROM Updates
Install from QR Code
Manage and Restore Backups...
- Restore
- Rename
- Delete
Backup Current ROM
Fix Permissions
and more!
I bought it to support the developer first, but it has been a great lifesaver. On the other issues you brought up:
- Works fine on my Incredible, all the features with no issues
- MIUI Rom looks beautiful, but works only ok. I was running into all sorts of different issues, not the least of which being file locations and then it did something to my SD card that caused about 4 hours of rework. Fortunately I have been flashing since my Windows Mobile days and am finally smart enough to keep a full backup of everything I really need. I will say that it seems to run the fastest and in the smallest footprint though.
- I agree with the GamerZ, I went back to SkyRaider as usual. Rock solid and stable.

congratulations..the app it self is fine no problems with downloading or anything. Its just rebooting in to recovery. It never installs automatically. I always have to manually wipe and clear data/cache and install from sdcard..until thats fixed for MY phone ill stay on the free app

That's to bad it doesn't work for you.
Works fine for me with most ROMs.
Currently running Skyraider3.3.3 and it works fine. When I upgraded from 3.3.2 to 3.3.3 I downloaded the ROM with ROM Manager and was given 2 options:
1. Backup Current ROM
2. Wipe (can't remember the exact words in the menu)
When the ROM was Downloaded there was an icon in the notification bar, I clicked on it and it said "Download Complete". I clicked on the notification and my phone rebooted into recovery, done a backup - installed the ROM and rebooted my phone.
All with no user interaction other than clicking the notification to start the process.
I have had other ROMs that when I try the same thing it will not reboot to recovery. I have to manually reboot recovery (I usually do it from a command prompt) then it will start the install.
On those ROMs selecting "Reboot into Recovery" didn't work either.
I have used it enough that I think different ROMs handle this differently.
I've never had any problems with rom manager. I always download my roms here on xda (like miui, for example) and flash them through rom manager, though.
Premium didn't really have anything I needed, but I got it anyway because koush is awesome.

[Q] Help with Swype Beta on Stock MT4G

I just want to know why I need to "generate license" for Swype Beta every time I restart my phone? I'm running the stock ROM, rooted of course, and I uninstalled previous Swype versions before installing Swype Beta. Does anyone else have this problem? Has anyone resolved this problem? Or do I have to just cope with generating my swype license everytime i turn on my phone?
I've looked everywhere for a thread that would answer my question, but couldn't find one... so I really hope there is an answer out there!
Thanks
um, dont know why this would be a problem. Make certain you dont have it installed on your sd card. that might cause this. other than that i would uninstall and reinstall. try a new rom and tell us if its still doing it.
I flashed cm7 and swype beta was running just fine, no problems at all. This is so frustrating! I like the stock mt4g rom, but not the stock swype!

Well..the extreme would be factory reset/load stock fast boot images and OTA up to 4.1.2. Other possibilities - is there a possibility that your Wi-Fi connection is not cooperating with the Xoom? Did you move/remove any system files after routing that may cause a problem? If I had a clear cut answer I'd give it to you. Try some Google searching - you may be surprised with your findings.

have you tried different browsers? Try Opera Mobile. Also go to market and and install an app that allows you to download any file like "Download All"
These may or may not work so try them first.

Try going into your file manager delete some unused files : cache, downloads, any folder you don't need delete. This has always worked for me and frees up a ton of memory. Simply cleaning download manager and cache in recovery doesn't free up space as the files are still there.

The only reason for a download to be unsuccessful is a loss of connectivity... A timeout or inability to connect to the download server. That presumes the download starts but fails. If the download doesn't even start, that's a browser issue. The above also presumes you can download the files from other devices on your wifi.
Try going to another wifi hotspot. See if that makes any difference.
You didn't mention it, but I presume you have room left on your internal storage.

why not try another rom?!? i actually had this problem a lot running EOS a few builds ago and now it seems to have disappeared. usually Dolphin would work when others would not. titanium backup and factory reset?
I was having the same issue with CM 10.1 a couple of weeks ago, stock browser would not download properly and over screen browser seemed tobe much better. Later nightlies seem to have resolved the issue so most likely ROM based. Try another ROM and see if it clears the problem.
Good luck and hope you sort it out.
