Can't Install/Update/Uninstall Nesoid - wtf

I was running DCv2.06 and thought a2sd was working fine until one day i got a out of space error when updating Nesoid Lite (NES emulator.) Took a look at available space and it said ~30mb. Not exactly out of space but whatever, weird, moving on.
• Went in and started totally fresh wiping everything and, repartitioning and then successfully activating a2sd. free space = 101mb.
• My Nesoid shortcut said the app was no longer installed upon pressing it. Market says there's an update available and that it IS installed.
• When I try to update it tells me I'm out of space.
• When viewing the app in market my only option is to update. Uninstall button is grayed out.
• I can install any app on the market, even big ones like google earth with no problem, except Nesoid Lite.
• Nesoid Lite is not under Setting > Applications > Manage Apps.
• Tried to install Nesoid Lite from an old backup, same Out of Space error.
• Downloaded Nesoid Lite from a website and tried to install via a couple different app installers and ES File Explorer - same error.
• App is still in my market list.
• WIPED FULLY and started over. Same app, same error... and still in Market list under Downloaded. Still says Update Available.
how in the world does the app's market link survive a total wipe!?
what the f.
EDIT:
Just cleared market cache and the problem persists.
Cleared market upldater cache - problem persists.
I can install other emulators, like Gearoid Lite, by the same developer: "yongzh"

Start by making sure the market isn't running (task manager of your choice, or settings->applications->manage applications, Market, 'Force Stop' button).
Then open a terminal and type
Code:
su
rm -r /data/data/com.android.vending/*
Restart market, if the button is still grayed out then reboot your phone.

results were the same. Thanks for you reply.

I don't know what the name of the apk is, but if you can find it, you can manually remove it in /data/app (if you have a2sd running, it'll redirect you to /system/sd/app). If it isn't there, try /data/app-private. Last place to work is /system/app.
Once you remove it, reboot the phone and see if you can install it again.

The app is in fact uninstalled (foir the most part) and is in neither of those directories.

How to get all apps on the market.

Since there are several post discussing this I have opened this thread instead answering the same on all of them.
To get all apps (at least all I have looked for ) you only have to follow the steps described.
1. Go to Manage Applications (in settings/applications)
2. Press the running tab and select market (if market is not running execute it)
3. Select Market from running apps. And:
Press Clear Cache
Press Force Stop
4. Go back and Select Google Services Framework. And:
Press Clear Data (answer ok on the message warning)
Press Force Stop
5. Try to run Market. You will get an error message.
6. Reboot the device and run market twice (the first one you will get the error message again).
Here you have a video performing this steps on a wits device:

Nice one, it works a treat I spent hours changing the market package trying to get it to work. I will add it to my market, small taskbar thread (many thanks to you of course)
Peace.

[Q] APKs won't sideload via adb or a file manager

So I am trying to load a couple of apks I have and it's been no go. On my Epic I usually just dropbox, open, and install. I tried that and initially got the security message. That is already taken care of via nookcolor tools. So that isn't the issue. My issue is every time I go to install I go to Astro, open the file via the "open app manager," it takes me to the info install page...I click install and it loads into the package installer, excellent...and then it just stalls and the progress bar runs and runs but never progresses. This has happened with every apk I have now tried.
Okay...so I figured I'd just go the little more involved (very little, no need to be that lazy, right) route and adb install. Well carp. All goes well, I adb install blahblah.apk and it starts rolling..."570kb blah..etc pkg /blah/temp/blah"...and just hangs there...never to give me the gratifying "success" message. Again, I have tried this with different apks that I know work and the same results. I restored to stock and rerooted, just in case. Same
I am running stock rooted (manualnooter) at this point, just got the nook day before yesterday (one of the many who jumped at the refurbs). Market apps download fine. I'm a blue dot, if that makes any diff. Likely not but meh.
I have searched and googled and not found the answers...but I know I am missing something elementally simple. My luck I'll look like an idiot and it will be a "did you check to see if you had any gas?" broken down car scenario. I'm okay with that, as long as I'm running again. I'm pretty sure I checked all the out of gas scenarios but I likely missed one or two so... any help is much appreciated. Thanks a ton...
I should know better than trying to write before coffee

Well, My answer is not a "check gas" answer. It's pretty dang weird.
1. Download ES Explorer from the market.
2. Start ES Explorer, hit Menu>Settings. Goto Root Options (NEW) and tick both check boxes. Hit allow when it asks you to.
3. Go back twice, until you see your sd card contents. Find the APK on there and select and hold. Hit copy and then hit the 1st button on the row of buttons (it's an icon of an sd card OR a Home icon) If you see a data folder, go in to it. If not, hit the 1st button again.
3. Once in the data folder, go into the app folder. Pull up the little white tab on the bottom. Tap the APK you wanted to install. It will copy. Once you see the APK's icon in the folder, hit the home button and restart. That should have installed it but it is a slow method. Note that you can Multi-Select APK's by pressing the Multi-select button and pasting them all in the /data/app/ folder.

are you sure you have side loading checked
Settings > applications should be the top box.

I think he already took care of that. And he is on stock, so there is no Applications setting.

ikingblack, thank you, thank you!
Not sure why but by doing this it somehow unsnafued the package installer as well (fingers crossed). I went through your instructions with a known good apk that would not install for anything before. And there it was after the copy, paste reboot etc. Not too much to ask for...still was confused as to the why of the normal package installer method not working. So I decided to give it (package inst) a go with another known working apk (I had just tested it on my epic) that previously wouldn't install, repeatedly, and now it installed just like it should. Scratching my head in wonder. It shouldn't be the reboot, as I have do so many times...the only difference is the install instructions and adding ES (I'm leaving astro behind I think). All I know is it is working and I am a happy camper (tent is in the back yard...) Thanks again! cheers!

Sure. Also, you can select all the APK's using the 2-file icon at the top and tapping the APKs, then press-and hold on one of the APk's and then go to data app, and keep tapping the APK's you wanna copy. And then reboot. Enjoy your Nook!

Thanks for this, it fixed it, but I don't know why.
I suffered this issue on my dell streak.
It was working fine a couple of days ago when I installed GetJar.
Suddenly today for no reason I can determine:
All APK's I tried the install button in the package installer was not grayed out, but it would not respond when pressed.
I've just been setting up my streak again and installing a lot of software. I'm guessing something must of gone wrong.
Someone on another post suggested JuiceDefender may have caused it but I've not installed that recently.
In my case I did:
(1) Installed esFileExplorer
(2) Copied an apk to the folder /data/app/ as described above
(3) restarted the phone
This did not install the app for me.
(4) Tried running the apk file again. Suddenly the Install button is clickable again?! The app then installed just fine.
(5) Tried a different apk (without copying to /data/app/)
Now that will install fine?!
This is really weird. I can't replicate the issue now (which is good!)
but I also can't tell which action fixed it.
As said above it may have been installing esfileexplorer and giving it root access.
It may have been the act of copying the file that reset something.
It wasn't the reboot, at lease not on its own as i'd already tried it.
Regardless, thanks for the info.
If anyone sees this issue again you might want to just try installing esfileexplorer and see if apk's will then install.
This might help us identify which bit of the process is creating the fix.
Just found another suggestion if anyone is interested:
Some suggests using the 'Fix permissions' option of Titanium Backup. I have no way to test this.

Market 3.0.27 force close!!

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?

Titanium Backup.

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

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.

My Apps is empty in Market

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?

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).***
