install application failed everytime

hi i am currently unrooted after i recently restored my phone using the 2.2 SBF. i redownloaded most of my old applications but a few of them for some reason will just not install and i just get the yellow /!\ mark that says "install unsuccessful" everytime. specifically angry birds and i few other paid apps do this to me and i really want to install them. i tried clearing market data and cache in settings but still did not work. so any help with this?

I know you sbf'ed. But is it possible some data got restored and possibly corrupted since when you log into your google account they automatically restore data for you? Have you tried using root explorer to browse through /data/app and see if there are any files there?
Of course you will have to be rooted to do that. just a thought. the only thing I could come up with.

[Q] android play store service error and unroot

i have installed flexreaper R10 rom for about one week.
at the beginning, things are ok.
from last weekend, i sunddenly found android play store always shows server error. yesterday i suddenly found i can uninstall system app by saying permission denied and no root.
i have restored 20 mar's backup and also restored hc3.2.1 backup.the two problems still exists.
who can do me a favor to find a solution. thanks in advance.

I have same problem with play store
I have server error with all the rom I install and backup
maybe you have the solution on the post of flexreaper for android market problem and for wiping device
Please always follow installation instruction , all releases are different as they are based on a different rom leak
If you got problems please before posting them do the following.
Performe a REAL format....
here's how to on cwm:
go to in recovery enter "Backup and Restore" and click on "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media)"
should say enabled....
then go into "Mounts and Storage" and "format /data"
this will REALLY format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory
Did you try to download a free app first and then a payed one ?
I never had market problems and I flash almost every day clean install for testing.
I would suggest to keep trying and first a free app.
I added the phonesky.apk (original acer vending app) ,
First remove the playstore or vending app (depending on what it is called) in system/app with file manager with root.
Then copy / paste the phonesky.apk in that system/app folder and reboot but make sure before you do this all to clear cache and data of market app in settings apps.

but I am not able to do that
each time I have errors, maybe it's good for you

What kind of Play store error are you getting? I find I get a 101 error but playing around with the time and date settings always fixes it for me.

I have server error try again
I try and again,again.... still same error
the last flash I do it says 5 updates and connect to the market and server error
How can I do the full wipe of civato or replace the apk market simply
thank's

Does it happen when you try to download an app?
If you try to download an app from the market website on your computer, will it push the app to your tablet?

Have you cleared cache and data from play store? go into settings, manage applications, play store, clear data and cache. Maybe try a different account and see if that will communicate?

Please help - Titanium won't install in imilka's CM9 V.02

Hi all,
This should probably be in imilka's thread, but I can't post there as a new user. Since upgrading to his CM9 V.02, titanium refuses to open, and when I uninstall I can't reinstall from market, which gives the error 'Insufficient storage available'. I can install other apps fine from market, I have more than enough memory, I tried wiping market data and cache, and I even tried wiping dalvik cache and reflashing gapps from CWM. No luck. Can't install the apk from non market sources either, where the error is similarly to do with freeing up memory. I wiping titanium files from the sd, and searched for more in the root dir, but couldn't find any.
Running out of options for this one indispensable app - please help!
Thank you

Weird issue indeed. Installs just fine on my CM9.
Have you tried copying the .apk file to /data/app/ (+ reboot)

try using an application to set the install location on the external SD and check if it gives you the same message, this is probably caused due to lack of space a common issue in android.

Thanks for your very helpful replies, guys. I went back to the data/app folder and found a com.keramidas file (or something like that) which I deleted. Now installs from market no problems.
Thanks so much

He meant the file with .odex extension which is like a leftover.

(Q) Apps disappear after fixing permissions

Im currently running Echoe Rom V13 4.3 and started getting issues with 'insufficient storage' on app update. The cure seemed to be deleting the duplicate entry for the app in data/app-lib.as the problem got worse I Eventually I re flashed the rom with a clean flash and all was good.
I had a few fc's on an app or 2 and thought no probs, I'll clean the caches in recovery after fixing permissions in ROM manager (as Philz doesnt seem to have a fix permissions option unlike CWM.
After this process I noticed 5 or 6 apps had disappeared from the phone completely. Strange. I'll just restore from Titanium. But trying every reinstall option and the app freezes.
Downloading from the play store brought the insufficient storage error back, but I could reinstall through My Backup.
So all ok now ? except going to update the new apps from Play brings back the insufficient storage message !
If I go into the app-lib folder these apps are showing 1 or 2 duplicates (I.e the file name with a -1 and -2 suffix. Delete these and reupdate and all is good.
However the issue then seems to 'spread' to other apps.
With hindsight this is exactly what happened at the start of the insufficient storage issue and the exact same apps disappeared. I really dont think its the apps in question (eg poweramp and Trustgo security that I have used without issue for years) but im confused as to what is happening and why ?

[Q] insufficient storage available CM11

hello,
I am having this problem since a week now on my Galaxy S4 I9505 with CM11 rom. When I try to install a new app from the playstore or when I try to update an app, I get this insufficient storage available error. but when I go and look how much space there is available. I see there is more then 5GB+ available in the internal storage. I read a lot about it in several topics and forums and I tried all solutions and nothing worked. I tried emptying my cache, updated the rom to the latest nightly build, emptying dalvik-cache. can somebody help with this problem. its driving me crazy
any help would be appreciated

Hi mate
Is a playstore error
1 Delete the app that is giving you problems at /data/app-lib
2 If the problem continues delete the app at /data/data
3 If problem continues delete also the app at /data/app
You may lose the settings of the app , backup app before you do anything

hello,
thank you for your very fast reply. but the problem does not only persist on apps that need updates but also on new apps I never installed before. so the app doenst have any folder in one of the locations you mentioned. and let me give you another example. I downloaded xbmc apk manually en tried to install it manually and it gave me a similar error like in the play store.

Hi
But what about the ones that need update , did you delete the folders of those to see if it helps?
Also clear data and cache from google play framework

Do you use ROM Manager to create Nandroid backups? Or ClockworkMod Recovery in general?
If so you may very well have your nandroid backup tacking up all that space.
ROM Manager defaults to save your backups in the internal storage and then hides the files so they can't be accidentally deleted.
This results in the file manager showing available space that really isn't available.
Delete the old nandroids or move them to the external SD card to make room.
