[Q] problem: apps fail to install from market

hi, i installed mdeejays android version succesfully, however some apps fail to install via market.
for example angry birds and the latest facebook app. the smaller apps will install without any problem. but the important apps wont. what can i do about this?
i read something about unmounting SD card. i tried that. But still got the problem.
What should i do?
I really want the facebook 1.5.0 app
tnx

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] Download Unsucesful? Manual Nooter 4.5.6

So.....the main page says that the Download Unsuccesful has been fixed as of 4.5.6.
It's so obviously NOT fixed. I've tried doing the whole SD card thing. I managed to get a few apps downloaded and installed the first day....after that NOTHING will install from the market. It ALL says download unsucessful.
So what am I doing wrong? I don't have a PC that I can install an ADB on at the moment, that'll come in a week or so. But I would like to know what everyone else is doing to keep it working.

Having no problems on two of them here. Try the market visibility fix anyway and make sure that you can connect to google talk (the market needs that).

Tried Google Talk, that worked just fine...and I had already done the Market visablity fix, and that didn't work either.
I just don't get it.

Try rerunning 4.5.6, it sounds as if for some reason the fix didn't take hold.

What happens if I re-root? Would it mess my installed apps or are there any risks?
I already have ROM manager installed on my manual nooted 1.2. Can I boot to CWM from there and re-root?

The odd thi g is now Im getting some apps to install. A winzip type app and ezPDF both installed from the market.
Does it have to do with installing ON the SD card?

What do you mean by installing "ON" the SD Card?

I meant the app being installed ON the SD Card instead of the main memory.

cant from market

so with the alphaRev X i managed to get s-off, and to get all the way to getting cm7 on my phone. So that´s greath, how ever everytime i try to install something from the marked that is bigger than 4-5mb i just cancles the download, with out giving any error. Smaller apps work fine, how ever google maps, angry birds and so on. Does any got an idea how to fix this?

I had the same problem exept I couldn't download ANYTHING. Try flashing another Kernel, that's what fixed it.

witch of the kernels did you use? and did you use it with cm7 ? i got a feeling its a cache folder that is messed up. not something kernel releated.

this worked:
1. Backup SD Card
2. Partition your SD Card with Rom Manager (I used 512mb/64mb swap)
3. Install Simple2Ext (You can find it in the Android Market)
4. Open Simple2Ext and toggle on 'Download Cache'.
5. Now, reboot your phone and you should be able to install Angry Birds/Maps/Other big apps.

[HP Touchpad CM7 Alpha][Guide] Android Market

There is an update out that will fix the market as well as getting facebook. Thanks to joshts0 to bring it to my attention.
New:
"Anyone fix the many apps hidden in the market? Do we just need to modify the build.prop? What should we identify as.... guess I could just try some...
edit: Maybe if I were to look it up I would have found the answer, durr. But also, I just happened to refresh this morning, and I see 9 minutes ago there was a fix. http://code.google.com/p/cmtouchpad/issues/detail?id=65 . Is it okay to quote from there?
TS can you update the OP?

For those who do not know how to get the google apps on the Touchpad including the market place Here is what you need to do:
Assuming you already have CM7 installed (I followed "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XDmKGmn4vs" and got the files from the Youtube description) and have it all up and running all happy:
1) Download "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip".
2) Be running android on your Touchpad.
3) Connect the USB to your computer and Touchpad.
4) "Turn on USB storage" on your Touchpad.
5) Copy "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" to your root directory of your Touchpad.
6) Turn off "USB Storage", hold down the power the button and hit reboot, select recovery.
7) Screen should say "CMW-based Recovery v5.0.2.6. Use the volume buttons to navigate to "install zip from sdcard" (the sdcard is the memory built into the touchpad that is shared between android and webOS, NOT a REAL SD card) and press the home button on the bottom of the screen.
8) Now select "choose zip from sdcard", press home button.
9) Navigate to "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and press home.
10)Navigate to "Yes - Install gapps-gb.........zip. Should install.
11)Press power button and select "reboot system now", hit home.
Reboot into android and setup your google account. If the google account setup doesn't come up right try restating your Touchpad and see if it comes up. If nothing try to reinstall gapps again.
Sorry for being long winded but I wanted to make sure that my steps are clear.
Once you get the market place working you can get Netflix and many other app but remember that the CM7 is in Alpha. Most apps are not likely to work but some just might. Try it out.

I am experienced in android from 2 prevoius devices, but this never happened to me before.
Market is there, works perfectly, but once I try to install any app, it keeps Downloading the app forever and ever, I know this is not a CM issue, its Market or google issue, just wanna know if some of you guys have been in the same situation and did you find a solution.
After google I tried:
Deleting the market cache and data.
Reinstalling gapps via CWM.
Moving apps in SD to internal data then deleting .android secure folder
Uninstalling Market from Titaniumbackup and then re installing from it.
deleting cache/ dalvik cache.
Fixing permissions
None of those things worked...

From what I've seen, add "update-" directly in front of gapps, or whatever zip you wanna flash to the touchpad for that matter, works well.

I keep getting fc's its my first boot up and I've tried this about 5 times

I don't know what's wrong with your setup guys, but mine went flawlessly. I mean in 10mins I already had android on my tablet, incl CWM recovery + working gapps. Been playing with it for a few hours, had no problems, installed a few themes (honeycomb colors) and tried different launchers, overclocked it..
It's an amazing port, there are some bits and pieces that need to be fixed of course, but other than that i havent had any serious problems.
Just follow the instructions correctly and you should have any problems

Everytime I restart and hit recovery it just reboots into cm7 what am I doing wrong thanks

when you reboot hold down the volume up to get into the boot loader. Did you use the same guide I used?

I believe we forgot to install moboot, could someone explain how to install after cm7 install thanks
sent from 3d greatness......

just put the moboot file, the gapps and CWM zips in the cminstall folder
then run again ACME installer.
It will skip everything already installed and will go directly to your new packages.
Enjoy....
PD: nobody has an idea how to fix the never ending downloading from market...? I cant download anything... so frustrating...

Well just use USB drive in android, and move the files, if you cant boot CM7, you better go to webos doctor and start everything from zero.

I had the downloading problem too. At first things were downloading fine. I think made the setting in the Market to ask for a PIN and after that things wouldn't download. It didn't hit me it may be the PIN I rebooted and still no dice, then went into the Market settings and turned my PIN off to download and install things and it downloaded apps. I didn't turn it back on to test because heck didn't want to rock the boat

I can boot cm7 I works great but I cannot go into cwm to install gapps. I just need to know where I move moboot in cm7 to make it install. Sorry for asking so much I just cannot understand how to do it. Thanks

you can do this way, boot to webos, enable disk mode, copy the moboot into cminstall folder. reboot, and you are able to go to cmw and install gapps.

Doing so brings me to the large USB icon used to install CM7, but we need to get to either CWM recovery, or first go back to webOS to add gapps to the cminstall folder and then redo the install of the novaterm cminstall (at which point)

When I connect to USB mass storage while running CM7 do I just make a new cminstall folder at the root of android, and then proceed like before? I cannot find the cminstall folder I made for webOS when looking through the files while running Android.
Thanks!

All I had to do was reboot the touchpad and the never ending downloading issue was solved. Once you reboot go in search for the app and redownload it, even if it shows it is downloading in the my apps section

ur using the power up/down to move along the menu and home button to select, rite?

I have installed it, and it's working. But, when I try to buy an application, this message appears: "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found". Honestly, I don't know if it's happening because of this fix. Is there someone with the same issue?

Unable to install APK's

Anyone have any idea as to why, I cant install any APK's in OmniRom ? - I dont have GApps installed, if that any help. (GApps keeps failing to install).

First thing is to check Settings->Security->Unknow sources.

Well, I have the DEB nightly of 2-19-14 of OmniRom
I have unknown sources checked
But when I try to install the Google Voice apk, I get the message : Cant open file.
Also, would you like the error message for GApps as well. or do you just want the apk troubles ?

I don't see any DEB nightly on Omnilog. Only FLO version is available.
Are you running an unofficial version?

Its an official build right from the OmniRom website.
Heres the link to the DEB...
http://dl.omnirom.org/deb/

1) How did you get the apk on your phone?
2) What file manager are u using to install the apk?

I downloaded it directly to the tablet. & I went into the Downloads folder & just taped on it to install. Then I also copied it over to the tablet under OSX. after deleting it off the tablet the first time.

Again, which file manager are you using to navigate to your download folder and install the apk?

There is no file Manager on the system. Nor do I have GApps installed. And when I try to install any thing, it wont install. & since I dont have the Play store, I cant go through that to download/install any thing either… What a mess
- Btw. Thanks for taking an interest & trying to help me with this.

Your issue maybe that you don't have gapps installed and it's missing the installer files to install the apk

Does 'adb install' from a PC work?
Many of the gapps APKs are required to be in /system so they can't be installed via 'adb install' or any other method. Maybe the APK you're trying to install has a dependency on gapps.

Google apps, as well as apps that rely on the APIs they expose (mapping is common) are a tightly intertwined mess. You'll get seemingly silent install errors because you're missing libraries, for example. Trying to restore apps through Titanium Backup will similarly fail if they are missing required libraries.
They generally will show up though logcat if you look carefully. Resolving the issue requires the sufficiently complete and self-consistent (sub-) set of Gapps.

Yeah. What a lot of people don't realize is how many apps that are out there which aren't part of gapps, but require the presence of the core gapps components.
