I did a system+data wipe recently and reflashed CM10 + v4.zip...
Flashed minimal gapps (tejus.k.v's updated ones)
Wiped cache+dalvik.
Then I restored data from the backup I'd made before the wipe.
After booting, I noticed some apps were missing.
So I opened up Titanium Backup and selected 'Restore missing apps with data'.
Titanium Backup got stuck at restoring Viber (one of the missing apps) for 8 hours.
When I woke up and saw that the restore wasn't done after 8 hours, I force stopped Titanium Backup and tried installing the missing apps from Play Store.
>
On opening in Play Store, I get the message that these apps are not compatible with my phone. But I know that they are, as I'd installed them before.
I've just talked about Viber, but other apps like Runtastic, Runkeeper and Justdial are also giving me the same error.
>
I opened up Application Settings/ Installed Apps, and there I found these weird installs 'com.voip.viber' and such. Opening these installs didn't work, and even their icon images were missing. Some even had 0 bytes size, while some still have their original size.
So I uninstalled those nonfunctional app artifacts, thinking that this would solve my problem.
It didn't.
I still can't install the apps from market. Or from 3rd party apks. Viber troubleshooting provides an apk for people who can't install from market. Even that didn't work.

In case someone suggests that I reflash the sbf, I'd like to say that I've also done two full sbf flashes in the whole process.
After the first flashing of sbf and rooting, I installed multiboot 0.8, but I found it had only 3 vsels/freqs and no TLS/TWRP support, so I had to reflash the sbf again, coz I had no working recovery and 2ndboot wasn't working properly on multiboot 0.8.

I'm attaching relevant screenshots in case someone wants to take a look.

Please help me if you figure out a solution.

I have tnt lite running on my tablet, and went through the full instructions on the guide on this forum of installing it and the marketplace and flash fixes. However I never got the full marketplace on my tablet (no angry birds, lots of apps missing). I also would often get an error every so often about the Google Framework Services having and error, and recently my tablet would reboot often while i was browsing. Then flash started having issues of not loading sometimes, etc. So what I did was I redownloaded titanium backup, installed it, force closed Google Framework Services and Market, went into titanium and wiped data for Google Framework Services and Market and then tried to open the market and got the error. I then rebooted the device and I tried to access market. At first it wasnt opening so i rebooted again and then it started working, however it still isnt the full marketplace. Also randomly the Google Framework Services error came up again. How can I get the full marketplace working? Would you recommend that I backup this rom and just reflash with the 2.2.1 tnt and start over again? I dont have much data on it and can start from scratch easily.
Ok so I have gotten rid of the Framework error and stability issues. I did a factory reset which seemed to have cured a lot of those issues. However I still dont have the full andriod market. I followed the steps again but I keep getting a limited version of the market with barely any apps. Is there something else I need to do to get this working better? I have heard of people getting the full market with angry birds, etc on it, so I know it can be done..
Some of the roms, sepcifically the Vega one, I wasnt able to get the market to work on correctly. I finally did by doing a factory reset, installing Cyanogen mod, Cyanogen gapp pack, and than flashing the Vega one over it without a reset.. and then the usual market fix. And it finally worked. There has to be a better more reliable way though. (From my understanding, it should work out of the box with Vega since it uses the release key instead of the test key in build.prop. But it does. )
I don't think the "fix" has given *anyone* completely full market, has it?
I've done the fix on TNT Lite, newest release, and newest VEGAN and I am still missing apps here and there.

I seemingly have access to the full market. I applied the fix referenced on the TNT tutorial page:
Setting / Applications / Manage Applications / Running / "Clear cache"; then "Force stop"
Then go up to Google Services Framework and "Force stop"
Open Titanium Backup; click on "Backup/Restore" and scroll to Google Services Framework 2.2.1 - and "Wipe data"
Go back to Home and launch Market. You should receive an error message (if not, repeat steps above).
Reboot and you should be good to go.
I also installed the latest update to the market (via update.zip) referenced here

Correct, to the best of my knowledge, even with a good build fingerprint in build.prop (now pre-done for you in Vegan ROM) and after applying Market Fix, we still seem to be lacking a few apps here and there from Market. Perhaps 2-5% of the apps in Market are still missing. Off the top of my head, Pocket Legends, Tank Hero, one of the MAME ports are known to be still missing. Some other minor apps.
CyanogenMod is the only ROM that apparently doesn't have this issue, though I haven't tried it to verify that for myself.
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
I've posted a few times trying to find answers but no dice. I seem to be having a really unique issue with the Market. This has occurred on the last three ROMs I've tried.
I've restored apps via Titanium Backup and when I go to the Market > My Apps, some of them are listed and some are not. The ones that are not listed do not get updated. In fact, if I find them in the Market, it gives me the option to Install as if I don't have them at all. Also, when I do install, many times the app will download and then not install until I try about three or four times. I have been doing a Superwipe every time between ROMs and am just at a loss. Anyone else at all know about this or am I just a special case?
yeah happens to all of us dont worry haha
try deleting the cache from the market (go to setting>apps>manage apps>market>clear cache) that helps when the apps are not showing its progress downloading and installing
also if you have the full version of titanium backup you can tap on the apps (for longer than usual) and select attach to market
Cool, thanks for the pointers. Cleared the Market cache and I was considering upgrading to the paid version of Titanium Backup. I think I'm sold now....! Hopefully these Market hiccups will finally go away.
Ok, I have read for about 3 hours now on this issue, but I think mine is a little different.
It started when google play was FC everytime I opened it, or an app that had a connection to the play store(a game with purchases, etc). It will FC TWICE everytime at least when opening up an app such as Marvel War of Heroes
Ok, now today I needed an update for an app, Deadmans Cross....... I couldn't get in play store, so had a friend load it to dropbox for me....... I then couldn't hit the install button so I uninstalled original version of the game before realizing I just need to take my screen filter off.
Ok, should be no problem now. I then proceed to install the downloaded apk, and it tells me that I have insuffecient storage and gives me a popup saying "cancel or manage storage" When I click on manage storage, it takes me to the app list in the device settings. Titanium backup WOULD NOT restore the app either.
I feel that these two things are related. I have tried the lucky patcher, and tried looking for icons not matching the apk in the data area...... I did end up deleting titanium backup file I shouldn't of, which caused titanium to now fc, so I hastely uninstalled that, downloaded new version from online, AND NOW THAT SAYS not enough storage.
I AM able to download and install several apk's. I have put lucky patcher and a cache cleaner on the device since the problem started and they went on the device with ease.
Why is titanium and deadmans cross(which is a large file, but I have 20gb open)
Hi everyone,
it seems the Play Store has got the same problem as years ago. After a clearing of cache and data, I have and empty installed app list and if I try to download apps bought time ago, they cost again.
I talked about the problem and it seemed to be related with detaching script on roms or apps like iytbp. No solutions found over the internet works (delete and readd the account, clearing cache partition, etc).
The only way to restore it was to restore back a previous titanium backup, data only, from a clean installation or from an uncleared play store.
It happened to me on XXX 9.1 but it's not rom related, 'cause it happened again on a clean installed stock Oreo 8.0 rom after installing iytbp with detach.plz method. But today a guy tried on a full stock Oneplus 5 and it happened the same (no root, no unlocked bootloader).
Can you please try if you have the same problem? After a Play Store backup, of course. I already sent a google feedback about that and, if you have the same problem, a google operator suggested to feedback them about that. Thanks in advance for the attention.
P.S. I tried the same on my Wiko Fever (full stock and updated) and it seems to have no problem at all. It also happended on Nougat, but I have not tested a lot.
Same issue here. I've also used the iYTBP detach script, you say it is caused by this? Have you found a solution? I'd rather not have to do a whole factory reset seeing as I don't have TB.
EDIT:
Found the solution to the problem for me. Not sure if this will fix it for good but for now Play store will update and installed apps show up. This solution requires root access. This is what I did:
1. Make full backup in TWRP.
2. Go to "system/priv-app/phonesky", cut the phonesky.apk (apk file for the Play store) file out of the directory to for example your documents folder.
3. Do a full (regular) reboot.
4. Copy the same apk you just move away form it's directory back to it's place (system/priv-app/phonesky).
5. Do another full reboot.
6. Wait about 30 seconds and the Play store should back on your device and functioning normally.
EDIT 2:
Issue where apps don't recognise that the user has purchased it still persists. After uninstalling the app and reinstalling it this issue got fixed.
