[TUT] Having trouble installing apps?

Hi
I recently had this problem.
You can download apps from the market eg. XDA app. It would say installing but then would just keep saying the same thing forever? No matter what app, it would just get stuck at installing?
This guide is based on 2.1, 1.6 maybe different!
Well heres a solution:
1. Press the menu button and click settings then go to Applications
2. Touch Manage applications
3. Then look for Market, and touch that.
4. I Uninstalled Update then Clear Cache, then Force Close.
I hope this helps anybody with that problem.
Rate thread, comment usual stuff
Thanks

need help here...

hi guys,
I have a problem here. I downloaded adw launcher and set it as default launcher. It doesn't work, it only says: ADW launcher is unexpected stopped. I've already tried pulling the battery out and put it back in, but it didn't work. Has anyone a solution?
sorry for bad enghlish.
Sam

Uninstall ADW-Launcher and the phone will revert back to the stock launcher.

[GUIDE] CM7 Home Button Tweak Fix

So I was bothered by not having a home button on screen of CM7 on the Kindle, so I was looking around setting and saw that you can add custom application launching on long press of the search button at the bottom. Awesome right? So I went over to the market, ran a search for "Home Button" and downloaded the first one on the list and assigned it to the long press for search button. Now I can get to the home screen on ease!

Is CM7 worth the install though? I mean with no audio functionality and misc. other bugs still, why not just keep your kfire rooted running a launcher like GO ex or ICS launcher?
Serious question as I'm still new to all this. Kfire is my first experience into the android/smartphone/tablet world. But love the hack/mod'ing. I want a new rom but not sure if the recently released CM7 is worth it right now.
I guess my real question is, why did you decide to go ahead and start using CM7?

You can easily add home button through settings on CM7. Settings - Cyanogen Settings - Tablet Tweaks - Choose soft buttons and check /uncheck the buttons you would like.

Yay thankx.

Thanks! The only thing is when I go to Settings>Cyanogen Settings it automatically force closes:
"The applications Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Funny thing is, I can go into Settings and select any of the other categories, i.e. Display, Applications, Accounts & Sync, etc. But when I select Cyanogen Settings I get a force close... any ideas?

I have the exact same problem. As a temporary solution I'm pressing the power button down for 1 second. This brings up a menu with a shortcut to the home screen.
I don't expect to be able to solve the problem of opening the CM Settings, but I'm looking for a way to enable the home button from the shell.

Did you clear the Cache and Dalvik Cache when you flashed the CM7 ROM?
I'm wondering if this has to do with the FC. Generally speaking you should do this when flashing new ROMs just to purge previous ROM data.

Yes I did. I was suprised to find that the app's i'd installed under KF standard were still installed. Does that mean I did the clear incorrectly?
I'm going to try re-installing again and see if anything changes.

Dalvik is the base running platform for android apps, and the Dalvik cache normally houses user data and app settings. Wiping it should clear everything from a previous flash if done correctly.
Make sure you are wiping it before you boot into your newly flashed ROM to avoid anything wonky happening.

I'm using TWRP2 to flash the the CM7 update.zip. After a minute or so I get the option to "Wipe Cache/Dalvik".
I've just done this for the third time and noticed that the output from the wipe operation ends with:
Code:
/sd-ext not present, skipping
I don't know if that is significant.
I have also tried wiping the cache first from the TWRP2 wipe menu.

Getting a CM Settings forceclose?
I was having this exact same issue while using TWRP2.0 to install CM7. I was wiping system, cache and dalvik cache... just like everyone was saying. I figured out that you have to do Factory Reset as well. Once you do all four steps: Wipe System, Cache, Dalvik Cache and do a Factory Reset, CM7 installed perfectly and the CM settings no longer force closes.
See if that works for you.
Nick

That works perfectly! Even Amazon Appstore working now when it wasn't before.

Maybe it is buggy or you have too much app, slowers your phone's startup Try something else from here : AURORA mods/addons+Connect to ad-hoc hotspots guide+decompile/compile/edit apks guide

i don't have too many apps... i always used go launcher and it worked great... but without it the notifications didn't show on portrait mode... on cm7 and miu( not sure about this one) only worked with go launcher or on landscape ... the default rom i don't remember since the first thing i did was flash it with cm7... it was never a problem cuz i always used go launcher but now i don't wanna lose the transitions and effects of the ics, and in top of that the home screens only work in portrait... that means that i need to open sms or something that works on landscape to be able to open the notification tab and that pisses me off..
but either ways.. thanks for ur time

Reinstall 'ReLaunch' using ADB and then a pop-up will show up asking you to chose the default launcher.
You can also use "Legacy Launcher".
Remember to set up 'Relaunch' under the "home" button in 'quicknav' using 'Nook Touch Mod Manager' once you have it up and running.

Amazing , thanks! Was coming from the 1.0 version Nook that had the floating android menu over the top so wasn't really fully understanding how relaunch was working. This is sooooo much better (floating menu used to get in the way a lot). Managed to get relaunch back up with a restart and have now set the quicknav button to it
