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] A different Market Problem

CM7 latest and nightly builds, phiremod on nook and from SD. Any combination of installations of CM7 and honeycomb. All of them give me the same result on the market.
Market open with a blank page under Featured. After a few seconds "A server error has ocurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen." I retry and then this "No matching content in Android Market". Can't see all applications especially tablet apps.
I try the market fix procedure, the one cleaning cache, stop cleaning google framebuffer services cache etc. That didn't work. Try the kernel fix no work. ManualNooter with the kernel fix don't work either.
So my question is does this have to do with the registration of the Nook on google? Does I mess something on the registration maybe I need to deregister before attempting to run CM7 off SD card?
I have CM7 working perfectly (the 7.0.3) and then when I try one off the nightly builds the market get messed up. By the way on the AndroidMarket it appears as I have 2 devices "Phiremod for Nook" and "NookColor". If that is the problem how do I fix it.

[Q] Updates fail with "insufficient storage available" and apps disappear on reboot.

[Q] Updates fail with "insufficient storage available" and apps disappear on reboot.
Hello,
since a few months, I have two problems with my Nexus 4, running on Rastakat Rom with Hellscore Kernel:
1. Every now and then I get and error message when updating apps that says "insufficient storage available". I googled a bit and found out that this is caused by "corrupted" files in /data/app-lib. Once I delete them (with a root file explorer), the update can be performed without a problem.
My questions: Why does this happen quite often? Why do these files in /data/app-lib get corrupted? What files are these?
2. Sometimes, after a reboot, apps randomly disappear as if they had not been installed on the device. Mostly, I can reinstall them (if problem 1 does not occur at the same time) from play store, but I wonder, how this can happen? I had up to ~15 apps missing after a reboot, which is quite annoying. I tried an "efsck" on the file system from adb as well as a complete wipe, but the problem still occurs quite frequently. Does anyone have a clue, why this happens and how to resolve it?
Thanks for your support!
Julian

Am I having problems updating the ROM, or it's just a hardware issue?

Hello, I'm having a problem I could not solve even after searching in many forums and video tutorials.
My situation is as follows. Due to technical problems in my Galaxy Y GTS-5310 (it suffered some sort of electric pane that disabled the camera and the input of the headset), I decided to buy a GTS-5360.
The GTS-5310 device was ok to run all applications I used normally, with 4.1.2 Jellyfish. Whenever any updated version of any app was not available on Google Play for some reason (with some exceptions here and there), I've always been able to install it directly through the SD Card.
As I imagined, this new device (with old 2.6.1 Gingerbread) did not recognize the installation of most apps I used (such as Whatsapp, Waze or Instagram). I have managed to install only few of them, like Facebook Lite or Root Browser, and only through the SD Card.
On this new phone, the Google Play Store always shows me a message of incompatible versions (either with Error 492 or simply not making the download button available). Whenever I try to install any of these through SD Card (by downloading the .apk file directly to my computer, be it in Google Chrome or Firefox), then Parse Error appears ("There is a problem parsing this package").
So my first attempt was to use Google Market Helper to change the ROM record as it is viewed by Google Play. However, even changing the version registration of the device to a more upgraded one, this did not work.
The next step was to actually install a new ROM. I have since tried Hyperion 9.0 (2.6), then I try upgrading to Lollipop (4.4), which runs ok, except for installing these apps. As far as I know, the latter should accept the download and installation of most of the apps mentioned above. But whatever I tried, I kept getting the same error messages (Error 492 via Google Market, Parse Error via SD Card).
Since then, some of the suggestions I've followed have not worked either. These include deleting the .android_secure folder from the SD Card, then clearing the cache of processes such as the Google Play Store and Google Framework, as well as clearing the dalvik cache through CWM and rebooting. I did this more than once, but the problem persisted.
I wonder now whether even upgrading the Galaxy Y GTS-5360 to a compatible ROM such as Lollipop is enough for being able to run these applications due to hardware issues.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, galaxy y s5360 just support gingerbread is the reason of pars error when you install higher android apps.
About 492, any notification( log in error or gtalk...)?
Did you tried:
- Turn off device, Delete that folder on computer, then flash the rom again
- log in new gg acc
