Hey guys, I have a problem when installing new apps or doing updates.
When I try to install new apps (angry birds Rio) it will download but not install, it has done this on other apps too. I have deleted apps to make room and done a factory reset and its still not working.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried to wipe the marked data from application settings? Don't know if it's going to help, but it's no harm in trying
Does it give you an error message when it gets to the install process? You could try unmounting the SD card temporarily before you try installing apps, this solved the only problem I've had installing apps from the Market.

How would I do this?

Hope this helps

Settings - applications - all aplications, locate marked and wipe all the data. Next time you start marked you should have to agree with terms as you did the first time.
Tried that mate, still not working

I've had this happen in the past and the only way I could get around this issue was to delete the file 'Smdl2tmp1.asec'
To do this, connect your phone to a PC and use Windows Explorer to search for the file. You will need to set Windows Explorer to read hidden files for it to find this file.
Hope this works for you too.

If the apps download but don't install you can install them manually. Using any file manager head to /cache/download , here you will see all the apps you tried installing recently. They don't have useful names but the icons should help you remember what they are.
Find the package and install it manually.

Right I sorted it. I took out the sd card and it installed it for some reason

Hey,
I installed gApps using gExperience and I keep finding that Google Ears (Google Sound Search - the song recognition app) is being frozen on every reboot.
I use this widget a lot and it's not convenient to open Titanium Backup and unfreeze Sound Search every time I reboot.
Is there any way to permanently unfreeze it, or a solution to it being frozen upon reboot?
Thanks everyone
Pete
Re: [Q] Google Ears keeps being frozen
Can you explain what you mean by "freeze"?

Re: [Q] Google Ears keeps being frozen
Try it, download via apk, push it to system/app folder, reboot and wait until Google Play sync. When it shows in "installed apps" delete the app, and install from "all apps" in GPlay it will instal a correct version, even if it isn't avaiable for tour country... I AM using it in Brasil and it work perfectly.

In Jelly Bean, applications can be disabled in application info. Titanium backup (& other apps) call it being "frozen".

Testing now
Edit: Worked
Just got the white variant yesterday, rooted using the toolkit in the Dev forum, also updated to 4.3 before that.
Bottom line is when I install titanium, I cant backup because I get a storage space error. I was able to backup once but then none of my apps stick, meaning no backups can be found even tho I just backed them up.
Lastly, I lost root after flashing Slim and Carbon. I have root with PA, though.
Thanks.

Try changing backup storage location in titanium backup preferences. Hit detect, whole device, then try changing that. I have seen people say use the legacy location in 4.3, but I have had trouble with the storage error using that. Right now storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup is checked on mine.

Try the legacy location. Then hit use the current folder.

I can't do that, though. My screen shot shows that error when I hit the Detect button. Also, how do I get around the issue if Not enough space when trying to back up. I have the new pro version

ok my friend couple questions what size is your phone and also do you have backups on there already. Was your backup from 4.2? I ask about that because file system changed and thats why you were instructed to try the other folder options. Now also are you properly rooted and using es file explorer or my favorite root explorer?
There are a few factors to figure out when resolving your issue but your question quite honestly is all over the forum and maybe a little searching may help you find your answer. If not post more here so we can figure it out...

Alright, my Nexus is the 16gb white version, a newer one because it has those two little bumps on the back to help against glass damage. Also I updated officially to 4.3...THEN rooted, flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0, flashed PA and installed a handful of apps, including ES EXPLORER. I had a previous version of Titanium Pro, which wouldn't let me backup (got the error stating storage capacity), I tried to choose a different backup location and selected "Whole Device", then immediately get the "no back up folder" error.
I then went to the play store, installed the newest trial version of Titanium...and I WAS able to backup, but as soon as I would restart my phone, the backups would disappear. BUT they backups are still stored in my ES explorer in a default folder: /storage/Titanium/Backups (the text may not be exact but the location is right).
So bottom line is that I can't access the folder which holds my backups...thru Titanium. I can see them when I open ES, though.
Here is a screenshot of my TB folder and showing how much space I have can you do the same

My device is brand new, I have like 12gb left on my phone, so the storage problems is an error.
May I suggest you backing up that folder and doing a complete wipe of your phone but make sure you can transfer a Rom over if needed

You shouldn't try off...
Anyway , uninstall it delete its cache and data , flash the latest superSU , reinstall , be sure USB debugging is on , detect and choose legacy folder , if no backup folder detected do a small one , retry to detect and chose legacy , use current location

This is weird, I can back up all of the apps I have installed at the moment, and I can restore those apps...BUT I cannot restore the apps I've backed up previously. But I can now change to the Legacy folder..

If you had sd card and it was going bad, then I could imagine apps that install partially to sd card get corrupted and stop working. There should be
LOST DIR folder, if anything is there, those are lost and later recovered file fragments. You would need at least reformat the card, possibly replace it. If that's not the case then I have no idea.
Yes my external sd is corrupt. Cant add or delete anything from it. I contacted sandisk and they will replace it in a weeks time. So that must be the problem then?

In the System Apps folder there are a few apps that I want to use but they aren't showing up in the app drawer. When I click on the app I want to use it tries to install it (doesn't say update app, it's like installing it for the first time) but it says app not installed. For example I want to use the app "Life square" or life stream, whatever it's called, but when I select the app it will not install.
Is there any way I can get these apps to install? I find it to be weird that they are listed in the System Apps folder but are not actually installed. Should I try deleting the apps I want to use and then re install them?
Any advice would be appreciated.
