plz help
I have an rooted x10a(r23) and Iv been installing apk files by transferring them to my sd card.
Iv been using Astor to install them. Also i have non market apps checked in my settings.
Today i tried to install an apk file using Astro, but it wouldn't let me. it just goes back to an blank screen and then back to the install screen.
Does any one know how to fix this?
Happened to me after I rooted my phone. But not immediately after rooting.I removed all the unnecessary apps and stopped all the third party services using startup cleaner, dunno if that did it, but I am able to install apks again.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
also the same problem x10i R23, rooted one week ago. Till yesterday it was no problem to install apk files. Since today it is not possible!
interesting. this same thing happened to me before i rooted. after i rooted i was able to install any app.

This point is selected but since today it is not more possible to install apk files.
Installation only direct from the market is possible.
Maybe a bug in the root???
I replaced the rooted R23 through R2BA0024 (not rooted) and have now no problem to install apk files.

I can install apks fine with my x10a using R23...
I tried what arizhasan said and used startup cleaner, but no luck
This prob has happened to me a few times. The only way iv fixed it was to re-root it again (witch im getting kinda sick of)
any body know how to fix this cause i dont want to ROOT again! :"(
Same problem
After rooting last night I can not install apk files from sdcard. The installer starts but after choosing install the installer just starts againg in an endlesss loop. Works fine using adb install and also from Market.
Any ideas?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
also there is a rooting issues thread for this...
Same problem here. I cant install apk anymore on my x10 after rooting to r2ba026. Any solution for this?

Look up apps2sd its custom for 2.2 froyo but there is a work around for earlier versions, research lots before you do anything coz you can mess your phone settings if you don't know what your doing.
Hey guys, ive done some searching but don't seem to be able to find anything that will fix this.
Whatever app I try to download from the market app I get the message that is in the title.
I have cleared the android market app cache and the download manager cache but still the same problem, im at a loss with this and the only thing I can see to do is wipe and start again, but I don't really want to do this so any ideas on how tho fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I know this happens with some, not all apps, regularly with HD2 Android builds. The trick in these scenarios is to unmount your SD card and then download these apps. If it's happening to all of your apps, I'm afraid I don't have the answer.
It seems that the Android Market is down. I have similar issues, tried all the known tricks and then saw Twitter...

Settings -> SD Card -> Unmount
Download/install apps from Market
Settings -> SD Card -> Mount
It doesnt seem to help me right now, though..
I'm having some issues as well, it would seem. Some apps installed but some just hang there when they get to %100. Very glad i did a Titanium backup before I wiped my sd card.
Same problem here from yesterday. I think is not a "hd2" related issue, but is a market issue.. until yesterday all worked fine...
market doesn't work, any news about? need android id changer .apk
same here i hit install and i wait forever and still 0%???

Android Market - unsuccessful downloads
Just had a quick question as to a possible solution to get market downloads to succeed. I have tried clearing data, rebooted MANY times, and even did a hard-reset on my WinMo ROM, but to no avail. Please help!! Also I apologize if this question was already asked or answered.. if so please provide a link to the thread. Thanks in advance
UPDATE: Yes the market is now working for me. Thank God!! Downloads happened instantaneously.

Hi, I'm having a problem with an erroneous "out of space" error when trying to install an application. I had Skype 2.0 working on the phone with minor issues for a few days. I then uninstalled it to try a new version and since then, whenever I try to reinstall any version of Skype (even the one from the market), it gives me an out of space error. I can, however, install other applications, so it's clearly not a space issue, as Skype isn't a big application.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Rob
Move apps to your sd card
Settings>applications>manage applications>(click on a big app)>move to sd
And your done
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
You could also uninstall some apps you use less frequently until you can get Skype installed and then put those other apps back on.
...
Thanks for your replies. The issue here is that I'm 99.9% sure that I actually DO have space to install the application, it just won't install. Other applications will install currently, I've removed a bunch of other applications, and I actually HAD Skype installed two days ago. It's very odd. Any other ideas?
Thanks,

Wipe cache and dalvik 3x.
I had the same issue with Skype. It bloated to ~40mb after two or so days, so I uninstalled it. I wasn't able to reinstall it after that, regardless of available space. I have since loaded a rom so I was able to install after everything was wiped, but I never found a way to get it installed before that. Having said that, I didn't really try very hard, because the Skype app annoys me more than anything else I've ever downloaded. I've also re-removed it since I put on the new rom
...
I tried out the cache wipes, but it didn't work, unfortunately.
Gorilla, that is not good news. I suppose I needed an update, anyway...oh well.
Thanks for the help!
-Rob
I've never personally had the issue, but I've read about applications not installing a second time and throwing this error. It could be some residual files left over from the last installation.
Use a file explorer and search for "skype" and see what pops up. Remove them all. Reboot phone and try installing again.
If you already bought Root Explorer, that should work, but I use Super Manager as it works just the same and is free.
Hello!
It's my first post so I hope everything I write here is in correct place. I wanna add that I was searching for similar threads so I think I didn't miss anything. My problem is that:
I registred at Market with my old GMAIL account, and I can download any free apps but when I wanna buy something and I press to buy for example 0.69p button I see next page and instantly message appears that: "Error has occured, please try again." I tried through my PC, I went to market and buy something, I add card etc everything happen correctly I even have my application on phone without doing anything, but still after many reboots the problem isn't solved. I have to add that I live in UK and installed CM7 today so maybe I have to update something or so. (Tried restart.)
Thank you kindly,
Rec.

are you using the new market/ what lcd_density are you using?
Well I don't even know how to update Android Market, and I just use one provided with software after installation. I downloaded from Market LCD Density for Root app and when I run It I see that default is 240, so I think this is my density, otherwise I don't know how to check it if it's wrong.
Thanks.
Edit:
Sorry I am blind I didn't provide information of ROM, it's: TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.7.3[2.3.7][A2SD][tytung r12.4v3]
use market 3.1.5. I have also this issue after using market 3.2
Can I ask how to do it ? Since I found 3.1.5 apk file but it is impossible to overwrite it or even remove higher version of market. I don't know if it matters but when I try to install for example themes etc through clockwork I also have this issue:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Hope it is also important.

I'm assuming that many people do have market working on the Typhoon build, and therefore there must be something wrong with my set up....
if everyone had to downgrade market surely the typhoon thread would be loaded with comments on it!
So I'm tempted to just go for a full blank and reinstall...task 29, reinstall CWM clear out caches and dalvik cache from CWM, reinstalled Typhoon and see....
trouble is I'm not sure if that really clears everything, and might make it work....so some advice on getting it right would be appreciated.....as it takes time to get it all set up again, as I'd assume best not to use any backed up info/data/settings from Nandroid or titaniam in case what ever is causing the problem gets restored......
Cheers again for any advice
K
So I have tried clearing caches from ROM manager, CWM, rebooting....
I can see this question asked in the Typhoon thread, at least twice with no answer (I can't yet post there).
BTW I can buy Apps from Market on the PC and it sucesfully installs on the HD2...so I think my accounts stuff is all fine.
So I guess the info I'm looking for if a specific fix is not known is "how to do a real and total wipe" - I'm confused by what Task29 does, and what I need to do to "blank" the SD card.....which I assume I should also do?
Any hints/steps?
or even any idea of if a total blank will help?

I wrote this on another thread I created.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20370071#post20370071
Hello all okay so I have another issue I ran into with Tytung's ICS ROM for the HD2.
When I go into the Marketplace I am able to download free apps and/or apps I have previously purchased but when I go to purchase a new app I get the error: "An error occurred. Please try again". I am able to purchase it online and it will send to the phone and download, I am able to purchase apps on my Motorola Defy running CM7, I have even tried wiping the the phone data & cache and wiping dalvic and re-installing but this still didn't work. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Hope you can help.
I had this same issue with Tytungs Nexus ROM, but I also had other issues where software switches would be changed e.g. mobile data etc.
When the latest update arrived I decided to do a fresh install, task29, radio, MAGLDR, format SD, the works.
Now the market purchase works perfectly, it was probably one crummy corrupt bit somewhere in the phone but couldn't find it.
Hi, I've got a problem I cant fix.
I wanted to downgrade Google Search so I uninstalled updates and it went back to stock. I then installed the version I wanted. v3.1
Now, this is my problem. I DONT want it to show in Google Play as an update so I tried to make a updated APK like I have with many other apps where I like older versions.
Now I used Lucky Patcher and that didn't like making the modded APK but it did back a backup. So I clicked RESTORE BACKUP. and guess what? It deleted the app instead of restoring it.
Now when I try to install it from either any APK or even directly from Google Play it keeps saying the device is full and fails to install.
I have over 1GB free. I've deleted about 10 apps and still keeps saying device is full. I've reinstalled those 10 apps and they fit and install without problems and I still have over 1GB free.
HOW do i get Google Search reinstalled? I dont want to reflash it as I will loose ROOT and that was a big enough ***** to install the first time.
I have a stock recovery menu. Rooted Galaxy S4 i9505 4.3 official firmware.
I did delete delvik cache and the cache in recovery menu.
I cant find any other ways to restore it? I tried titanium backup with the backup I have of it but that never ends when I click restore. It doesn't finish, doesn't do anything just sits there saying its restoring but never stops still I kill it even after 30 mins it was still restoring.
Anyone??
I did try Titanium Backup and made a update.zip and that fails both from SDCARD and ADB as its not signed and its stock recovery.
Do I have to install a custom recovery? Can I use the one I used with 4.2.2 or do I have to get a 4.3 version? That was i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4.tar
Anyone?
I'm stumped. I dont have a clue whats going on and why it wont install and why its saying its full when its got 1GB free.

Thanks for the reply.
Was hoping not to do that.
BUT, everything still works without it anyway and as it stole the use of my Bluetooth button it wont be missed but I do like the Google Now alerts.
What happened with me was the latest few versions stole the link to the bluetooth button. Before when you pressed the button you had the option of S-Voice or Google Search and now the newer versions dont have that option and always use Google Search and you have no way to revert back to S-Voice. I had Google Search disabled for a while but I want to use Google Now so I need the app but not the new version so an old version works fine. I think the last is 3.1? I didn't try 3.2 but I know 3.4 has that forced Google Search now.

I got it installed and fixed a few other apps at the same time.
I went to root /data/data and found the google search was a 0kb file so I deleted it and it installed fine after that. I also had a few other apps that were playing up so I deleted those folders and they now install and work fine.
So in the end no need to reflash just remove the corrupt files and its all fixed.
I did find out Google Search 3.3 is the last of the good versions, 3.4 is when it steals your bluetooth's connection and uses it for its own without letting you choose default.
As S-Voice is a Samsung feature those not with a Samsung phone wont care but those like me that use S-Voice will be annoyed that the latest Google Search removes the choice. I recommend to disable so it goes back to default version then get v3.3 and install that and use an app to remove it from updating in Google Play then all will be good.
it's solved right?
but anyway maybe you could try to flash gapps . Don't now if it will works but i good to try anyway ;D

When uninstalling on stock, you only delete apk file. You have also to delete corresponding odex odex file in system/
Then, you have to remove also corresponding folder in system/data/data
Then, you can try to reinstall the app.

I fixed it. There was a corrupt file in /data/data and as soon as I deleted it, it finally installed fine after that.
Now trying to stop Google Play from upgrading and also removing it from the update list is another problem.

I do that and it doesn't work with Titanium Backup.
I want to remove it completely so it doesnt even see it in the Google play store.
In Titanium Backup you can remove it from Google Play but that option doesn't work as I've had it removed twice and its updated both times.
So far its working. I've turned it into a user app and removed it from the store and its not updated yet but I will give it till tomorrow and if it auto updated like the last 2 times I will just uninstall it again and not use it. Its more trouble than its worth anyway.

I want it installed, I want to use Google Now but I don't want to update to the bad version and I don't want Google Play to keep telling me there is an update so I want it removed from Google Play.
As I said Titanium Backup does have a "Detach from Market" option which does remove it but after a few hours it updates anyway so that option doesn't work.
When you make a custom APK it's not seen in the Market so that works but Google Search doesn't work when you customise the APK.

I've unticked that box so Google Search won't auto update but it's still in the update list and it still gives notifications that it needs to be updated.
It needs to be removed from Google Play, that's the only way to stop it from updating or asking to update and it's the only app I can't customise that I've tried. I've modded many apps and they work and they are removed from Google Play but this one I can't.
I also want other apps to auto update so I dont want to turn that option off.

YES YOU CAN.
Just install Market Fixer and that removed it. But it does sometimes show up after a reboot. I rebooted twice and it showed up the first time but not the 2nd time.
So it looks like I've fixed the problem.
Titanium Backup's 'Detach from Market' doesn't work but Market Fixer does the same thing and that does work.
The problem I think is its a system app, its used by my Google account, its used by half the system so its not easy to hide from the App Store. As other apps aren't used the same way they are easily hidden but Google Search isn't.
