After rooted and install Market in my KF,I can go through market,but when I click download,apps seems no download,the notification is starting download but nothing happens.What can I do to download from android market?
I'm having the same problem. I'm searching the forum and coming up empty. I even installed com.amarket.apk instead of vending.apk. I get the same result as you do.
EDIT: Found the solution in this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372308

There are several threads here dealing with the market download unsuccessful error. Unfortunately, none of the solutions have helped me to this point. I am currently on the AOSP ish JK2 1.1 ROM, but two days ago I was on one of the sombionix ROMs and I was having the same problem. In fact, this "download unsuccessful" error was one of the reasons I wanted to try a different ROM. Bottom line is, I don't think it is ROM related.
So, I am getting the download unsuccessful error for most apps that I try to get from the market. Funny thing is, some apps work fine and install fine. I have tried clearing the cache/data for the market app and the download manager app from settings->applications->manage applications and going to market and download manager. I have seen tips that suggested uninstalling the market??? but I couldn't figure out how, since it the option to uninstall was grayed out. Is download manager even needed? I have seen some people that say they freeze it with titanium to conserve battery. I have seen where some people that have this problem use Astro after getting the error and then browse to the apk and install it manually. The problem is, I can't install astro because... wait for it... I get the download unsuccessful error. I adb shell'ed and looked for the market download folder, but I couldn't find it. Where is it, anyway?
It's not just download unsuccessful errors that I am getting. I also have times where the download never starts. Sometimes I have to cancel and restart the download several times before it will actually download (sometimes ending with a download unsuccessful error after it reaches 100%).
In summary, the questions are:
1. Is uninstalling an re-installing the market an option? How do I do this?
2. Is freezing download manager a good idea?
3. Where is the market download folder?
4. Any other suggestions for getting past these errors and having a market that actually works most of the time?
I have issues with unsuccessful downloads as well. Latest one was LauncherPro and Google Voice. LauncherPro I download from the developers website and Google Voice I managed to resolve by going in and deleting the Marketing cache.
As for the question of deleting the market you would have to use something like Titanium Backup. But make sure to find a Froyo compatible Market APK first.
Well, I don't know why it would help, but I froze com.sec.android.providers.downloads in titanium and it seems that I can now download some of the apps that before I could not.
I would still really appreciate it if someone could take a stab at the other questions I have asked in the OP.
Anyone? Please?
What and where can I get this? TIA
Check the general android apps section.
I just did a search for "Android market zip" and just looked by date. Easy enough to find.
I found the APK didn't work right, so use the zip, mount and install. Worked just fine that way.
Downgraded & rooted couple of days ago, removed some bloat, all ok.
Uninstalled a little more bloat today... but...
1. Can't remember what I uninstalled exactly.
2. Market launches ok, but whenever I click on an item within the market i get an instant force close every time.
Ideas? Help?
Thanks all.
Edit: I remember uninstalling download manager. Could that be it?
It's not here though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036249, anyone have the apk?
Can you provide a logcat of the issue?
Not currently as I don't have a logcat app installed.
However, I'm sure it's related to the download manager I uninstalled using root Uninstaller.
Market is force closing on download links & anything I attempt to download using the browser throws up an empty zip folder.
I could really use the download manager apk to avoid having to reflash.
Thanks for any help.
Install a logcat app, run the error and paste the output here. It will help by debugging the issue.
I'm not too sure it has to do with the "download manager" app, since that is mainly related to the web browser. Market downloads follow their own route, as they are stored in the cache partition while they're being installed.
Ok, I'll get transfer a logcat app to my phone when i get back to my pc later.
Just type in "adb logcat" into adb do you want a copy of my download provider dazza??

Thanks for that, just reinstalled & I'm now able to access market links without fc.
However, downloads are not working properly.
No fc but the download icon only briefly flashes up in taskbar but doesn't download.
I'm guessing that this is because I have setinstalllocation2.
Moved to phone via manage apps but still no joy.
When i get home I'll go back to setinstalllocation0 & reinstall so that they go to sys & I'll bet a penny to a pound that problem will be solved!
Ok, so, didn't work.
MArket is now not force closing but, as before any downloads started just result in a very brief flash of the download taskbar arrow then nothing.
Uninstalled updates to market, no luck, upgraded to new version market, no luck, however, i do now get an error downloading file notification.
Please delete post
Erm... Use pastebin.com, with Java notation. It's WAY more readable. For example: http://pastebin.com/02jK09Yr
Can't paste to it from browser so, once again, will have to later.
Did manage to install alogcat from an apk and pulled this just now.
Ok, so here's a couple of logs i took just now & submitted to pastebin.
Decided to flash.
MODS, PLEASE DELETE THREAD.
I just installed CM7 nightly 164 using verygreens size agnostic walkthrough. I previously tried the very latest nightly and had this same issue: Everything installs fine, gapps setup runs fine, market is installed fine. Problem: some apps, such as Youtube and Facebook do not have an Install button to press in Market. I tried both picking them during google setup (fails) and not installing anything during google setup and then trying to install from market afterwards. I am able to install other apps, but these do not have the install button: youtube, facebook, google maps.. any ideas? I tried clearing the market cache and it didnt help, I can see the app page, but no install button.
Look around. Many many threads with lots of solutions.

I have this same problem, none of the solutions helped. I got the APK from another source in the end.
Thanks for the apk tip, I'm new to android and didn't know about that. Facebook installed now

which application do you need?
Some other user could give you the requested apk for you to download and install it without needing Market.

When I rooted my Nook Color a few months back, a few market downloads came then seemingly automatically, then since then no market, I can download nightlies but no apps. I've tried most of the responses in here to no avail.
So I've wondered if I could create a zip file containing several apps and try to install them. My purpose would be to load apps on the Nook Color that would allow me to load files on the SD card and install from there.
I would prefer to get the market working, but I'm missing something. I've done manual nooter, download most of the programs that claim to be the missing link, tried several varieties of gapps, and some other suggestions as well.
Same problem. No install button for a bunch of apps in Market even after trying the suggestions listed here.

Uninstalling the updated market let me find and download those by searching in the old market. I also used Titanium Backup to uninstall the market update app first.
PS: Some have reported issues with the updated YouTube app so be forwarned.

I uninstalled my current Market app and installed 2.3.6. Now my links are there but the Market always force closes when I try to install.
That is because the app is updating itself again.

There is a workaround:
1) Set your DPI to 160.
2) Make sure the market app is killed, and then clear data for "market" in application management.
3) ???
4) Receive bacon!
You will have to kill Market/wipe market data every so often.

I'm trying this myself (see youtube thread), and it doesn't seem to be working. Some apps will show, others don't show the download / update buttons. Market version 3.0.27 CM7 n168. Unfortunately I don't have any older versions of the market to play around with.
EDIT: Okay, I spaced this one out, forgot to reboot after editing build.prop. The full market seems to be working now, I can update youtube, etc.
So I have my new Acer 500A and it is flashed, now I want to actually install apps on it, but every app I try to download says "Error Processing Purchase".
Now I did search and they said remove the cache for market, delete my account and then add them back, I did this, but still same issue.
Next I tried purchasing through the web and then installing this works, but is not acceptable, obviously.
Currently I seem to have a small door stop (which it is bad at as it is too thin ). What I want is to be able to install apps any app from the market (you know how it is suppose to work), since until this is fixed I will not/can not do anything with the device, I am looking for a solution. If the solution is a different ROM (or what ever else). I do not care as I have nothing into the device yet, heck I can not install any apps.
Oh, and yes I flush all the caches, I've been doing it it Android devices for some time now and know the plan when changing ROMS.
Thanks,
ERIC
No offense intended, but if you post questions regarding the ROM you're using in it's original thread you're more likely to not only getting a quicker response, but if the ROM author is decent, he'll answer your question himself/herself.
Just in case you get lost and can't find that thread, here it is for you:

I found updating to the newest Market, 3.3.11 does work, the older version which remains installed does not work still. This solution seems acceptable for now.
ERIC
ok this is a really easy fix go to this site and update the market to the new version i had the same problem but this is going to fix!
i cant post outsite links sorry bro coz im a "NOOB" but go to google and just type update android market and its the 4th link down
scroll down and download the apk file that updates the maket and install it and that should fix it
