Market issues after wipe and flash

UK Voda Magic CM 4.2.14.1 CM recovery 1.4
OK having problems i have :
Wiped data, cache, ext,
repartitioned with default setting using CM recovery,
flashed CM 4.2.15.1
Now the market appears to only be partially working, no paid apps tab and the downloads tab is empty ie it doesnt show my purchased apps
If i install any apps they are not recognised and after a reboot force close on opening.
I gave up yesterday night and today and magically the market is back and functioning properly including any apps i install and my list of purchased apps!! The only apps not working were the ones i installed prior to the market being fully functional although if i uninstall and install again they work no problem.
Great so seems like it fixed itself!! Not trusting this i wiped again to start from scratch and bang here i am again with a partially functioning market.
I have tried :
Running the script to remove the vending database - no help
Wiping the data and ext - no help
gtalk log in/out - no help
Help!!!!

Sounds to me like it's not signing you in all the way or something. Not sure how you would solve it, but maybe try a different ROM and see if the problem persists. Hopefully someone else can help you out a little more.

I have no idea why, but when I flash cyanogen google paid apps never show, probably google being a ***** as they kind of banned him(read about it on google) . Try a different rom ,Cyanogen aint that great anyways.

Google hasn't "banned" him, they tried to protect their IP. It was completely within their rights, and although the community may hate Google for it, they have no reason to "ban" CM from the market.

[Q] Cannot update certain applications.

Hi gentlemen (and ladies ).
I'm having an issue with my Nexus One (and the misses with her Desire).
Both of them are up to date, stock rom, nothing fancy installed.
I (and her) are unable to install the new YouTube application. We can't find it in the market, nor can we update through AppBrain for example.
So my question to you all is: WHY?
We live in Belgium.
Extra: My Nexus One can't update Amazon MP3 and Voice Search neither.
All other updates work correctly, I just received the GMail update, so that works just fine .
Any suggestions?

I also cannot install the new YouTube app. I've tried a ton of times now, so its not you it must be a problem on Google's end. Should be fixed soon.

Youtube installed fine for me.
Maybe you have a version thats signed differently ? themed?
try uninstalling what you have first.

Try uninstall the app with Titanium Backup and then install from market. This resolves the problem for me

Yup, this is what I've always done. I had to do it with the new Gmail and YouTube apps.

I use root explorer to delete the app from \system\apps then reboot and re-install from market. Simple enough, though I usually still have to reboot between removing and reinstalling.
Kind of a pain but that's what we get for running custom rom's I guess

Well gentlemen, thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. The problem is: I don't have a rooted phone. I guess I'll wait for Gingerbread, that'll happen pretty soon I guess

Help! My Locations app has disappeared!

Hi guys,
I just recently bought a HTC Desire HD and have been enjoying it very much.... I have rooted and S-off, but have yet to install recovery clockwork ....
That aside, yesterday I started moving some stock app files to a folder on the sd card (so I can remove it from my phone, plus back it up just in case) with root explorer (r/w mounted), I didn't move the HtcLocationService.apk. All went ok...
But just this morning I noticed my locations icon on my phone's interface has turned into the green android image...meaning the program is gone! It cannot be found in my programs at all.
I have tried to do the "reinstall locations" in the settings, but it says "unable to find an activity to handle this action", and I've tried to go straight to the HtcLocationService.apk to install it (not even sure if it is the right application) and it says "application not installed".
I am really stumped, and would like Locations back on my DHD!!
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance

What stock apps did you uninstall? Some apps are bound to eachother. Locations is probably bound to navigation or footprints or maybe another app. So if you uninstalled that, that could be the cause.
If it's really gone, then probably the only way to reinstall it is installing the stock ROM again (or a custom one). You probably can't install it again because locations needs some other stock app (if my hypothesis are right).

I took out stuff like friendstream, Plurk, Twitter, FieldTest, Flickr, HTC_IME, EasyCard, Laputa, KKBOX, plus phone provider apps (since I'm with TaiwanMobile, myfone) so TWM_City/Market/Movie/Music etc....
I've since moved the files back into system>apps, but it hasn't changed anything....is there any possibility I could get Locations back???

I can't think of an idea to reinstall Locations that easy. You can just install the official ROM again. You don't even have to be rooted then.
Have a look at this thread. If you deleted .apk files of the 2 lowest lists, then you could try to reinstall them first. Otherwise I don't know. maybe someone else.
I would have reinstalled the official ROM again. Just to make sure everything works correctly again. (and then start over removing apps :') ).
But maybe someone else knows a better solution

Thanks for you quick reply!
Can you point me to a thread that would explain the process of installing an official rom (where i would download the rom, etc)? Plus is there a way I can back up all my games, apps and settings, so I don't have to reinstall every app and game again?
would a Factory reset help? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm hoping I get this resolved

First of all: I found this thead for installing system .apk's. Maybe that can help. But it seems pretty comlicated .

A factory reset should restore everything, (ofcourse I was tthinking to complicated :') ).
All apps you installed from the market will be reinstalled if you login with you google account again. It can take a while. It also remembers wich apps you bought. It won't however save any data (like saves for games).
For other apps (and all apps if you want to backup the data), you could download titanium backup (also available in the market). Keep in mind though that for restoring any backups made with this app, you need root acces again.
The facotry reset will remove your personal data. Only your sdcard and simcard will keep their info.
I hope all is clear what I told . So no ROM download needed. :')
Let us know if it has worked

Hey again,
I just factory reset my phone, using settings. Locations has not been restored , also some gadgets was not working (may be the widgets I have removed before). The front page weather animation is gone! Only the time left...(how would I get that back?)
Any other suggestions will be appreciated!

go to locations in settings... u will find a tab "reinstall locaton" make sure u r on wifi...and it will install it back...it happnd with me and got it back instantly

[Q] What to do when apps just stoped behave properly???

Hi guys ... I'm not sure, whether it's just me as a person or my NOOK, but with every new thing I try, I get something strange :
My apps (Market, Youtube, Opera) stopped working properly :
- market doesn't search any more
- Youtube wont start
- Opera starts, load it self and after 1 sec it just stops working/jumps to home screen.
What I did was changing the uImage from NST-kernel v0.1. Tried it but it seemed like that multitouch didn't work - just seemed - it did what was proved by angry birds that I've installed just to test it.
But since then NONE of those three apps mentioned above worked properly. Even when I restore my backup (that I did few weeks ago right after I've followed minimaltouch) ... this behaviour still continues. After deleting all the partitions and restoring the backup I still have the SAME PROBLEM ?!
How is that possible even after backup - and not changing the uImage again ??? What could have caused it ??? Any idea how to get rid of it ??? Thanks for any advice.
My NOOK is 1.1 - I didn't update to 1.1.2 yet.

Hi, are you shure you haden't this problems before? I'm also experiencing problems with the market search, so I use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firezenk.msplus
Regarding Opera, how have you installed it? If it got installed by one of the rooting tools it is missing some libraries. Uninstall it and reinstall it directly from the market.
Regarding multitouch, have you edited "/etc/permissions/required_hardware.xml" like it is described in the thread?

Thank you for your fast response mali100.
1. now you made me unsure. As I did have "searchmarket" installed as well, but I'm fairly sure, that I've installed the ES file Explorer and Opera directly from the MARKET.
2. Directly from the market (I was using CWM minimal touch, which I think doesn't include Opera). Even after uninstalling and installing again from Market - the fault persist.
3. No, I didn't do this. I thought that after "arkusuma" changed the uImage, then it wasn't needed. But Angry Birds worked (zoom) - I'll do that in the next try as I did a factory reset and will go through the whole process(minTouch CWM) again to see, whether youtube will work !?!?!
Still it's a big mystery to me why this stayed like this after restoring ?!

I think the search issues may be related to googles changes to the market, now known as google play store. Market search worked for me, but I decided to make a clean start with 1.1.2 and used MinimalTouch and since then my Market doesn't search, but as mentioned before, this could be also the result of changes made by google.
The MinimalTouch I used had Opera Mobile integrated, and it showed the exact same behaviour that you described, but a reinstall solved this for me.
Mulitouch works on my device (and on at least on other from which I know) with my NST-kernel v0.1.

When things don't work, adb logcat is a good start.

adb logcat is a good start.

Would a logcat from an app running on the nook help as well ??? I still didn't get to ADB ... its one of my later homework after I'll format my laptop.

Besides the hassle of installing the Android SDK, ADB is easy.
I guess that you could write an app or script to capture the log but it's hardly worth the effort.
Things not starting will definitely show up in the log.
The intents system is fairly complicated.
Besides, when you do get ADB working you can test stuff like:
Code:
am start -d file:///sdcard/start.htm -t text/html

Well ... I did a lot of stuff :
1. unregistered the device / factory reset
2. apply minimal touch from the begging. As it is a 2 step process - in the first process Youtube works fine. But after the second process the first app I run was Youtube = NOT working. I've installed Opera and same problem ... just loads and as soon as it should picture the first welcome page, it turns back to HOME screen.
3. I got upset - use MiniTool Partition Wizard to wipe all the partitions, erased everything on the Nook by writing "0" through the whole nook ... and then write the backup image of my nook, when I first got it (untouched).
4. Used minimal touch again ... and YOUTUBE not working, Opera jumping to HOME screen ?!?!
How is this possible ??? Is it that by wiping the whole partitions and erasing the Nook there is still something that is not touched ??? (like when you have Swype, do a factory reset, then you can't type as you are missing keyboard ???)

uninstall opera and reinstall it from the market, or try opera mini.

Forgot to do that = worked for Opera Mobile ... Opera MINI will not load (but now I don't care with Mobile running)
Thanks Mali100 for repeated suggesting (reminding) of reinstalling. Thank you.
PS : Having found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553908&highlight=market+search) where RubenRybnik describes similar problems.

I had the same problem with youtube. I just uninstalled it and reinstalled it with adb push and now it works again.

hi all ,
I am also facing the same prob. My opera Mini starts and then crash ............
But I am able to make market search.
I uninstalled the OPERA and installed again many times, but nothing changed ..........
any solutions.......

Mini still doesn't work for me, but mobile does.
It is quite interesting that you can do the search on market ?! I'm wondering what you have different then the rest of us ?

Latest Wechat not working in ppgraded Samsung y s5360 to Lollipop

Hi,
I have a Samsung Y S5360 (which I like a lot) and Wechat was insisting too much on updating to its latest version, for which I had to upgrade to a newest ROM, so I got Lollipop (just that was a log process for me, as I'm not an expert, but I'm learning a lot the last days). Anyway, so I am installing apps now and I have some issues that's not making it so easy.
1. I'm in China so I have no access to Play Google. Also installing downloaded apps from the SD card has only worked until now for Link2SD and Superuser, all other apps I tried to install that way get parsing error.
So, I'm getting apps from Baidu and Chinese apps provider. My Chinese reading is less than okay, so I kind of follow by instinct, which is possible, that way I've installed already Pleco, and another couple of apps successfully. Except for Airdroid, and Wechat.
2. The problem with Airdroid is that I could get a 2.something version but not the latest 3.something, and as I tried to get it, even from Airdroid web, it's not working.
3. The problem with wechat, which is way more important to me than Airdroid, is that I get to install an old version, but still newer than the one I used to have when I was on Gingerbread. One strange thing that happened is that the look of it though wasn't the same as the new style of wechat but as the Wechat of a year or so ago. Strange. ... Besides that, then the most relevant issue is that once installed the old version I get the message to update it, once the update is downloaded and installed, I opened it and I only get to see the opening image (the earth and the guy) and that's it, it stops.
I tried installing the latest version from some of the Chinese providers of apps, but it happens the same. It's installed, and it's opening, I see the earth and the guy, and then off to the screen of icons in android.
I've tried to uninstall and install, wiping cache in between. Didn't worked. I tried redoing the process of installing the ROM all over again. Didn't work. I tried to leave Wechat in the phone, and not move it to the SD Card. Didn't work. I tried kissing the phone, and chanting some Hawaiian healing songs. Didn't work.
Here I am, at the end of the day, trying another way, I kind of believe the force is with XDA devs
