well i am having problems with the market again. i cleared the cache and it didnt help. it says my app can be downloaded because of "Insufficient storage available" is there anything i can do to fix this??
I have 123MB of internal storage and i am running Darktremor A2SD
Would a partition repair work??
do you know how to use adb or have a root files explorer.
I think it happens because a directory is left behind in /data/data
You need to figure out if there is a directory in there for your app and delete it. Problem is sometimes the app name and the file name are completely different but you should be able to figure it out.
There could be stuff left behind in the /data/dalvik-cache too but I don't think the Market has a problem with that.
Finally there is the actual app itself in /data/app but your problem normally happens because that file got deleted and the directory in /data/data didn't
I have this same problem occasionally. I will go to update some apps in the market and one will end up being unsuccessfully installed. What I do is uninstall the app from the applications menu in settings, then clear the the market cache and defaults and uninstall updates. That usually works for me. Also, if you happen to have a TI backup of the app, you should be able to restore it from there.

ok i know alittle. i will try
For some reason acer decided not to put the exchange feature onto the tablet which i found quite annoying. thankfully user member id10terrordfw found a way to fix this and posted the apks.
to get exchange working you first need root and either root explorer (paid app but worth the money) or es file explorer (free but you have to enable root privaleges inside the app. its under the settings menu)
1. navigate to system/apps and copy email.apk and email.odex
2. past these to your sd card as a backup
3. rename email.apk and email.odex to email.apk.old and email.odex.old
4. extract the files from the download and past them into the system/apps folder. (they should be Email.apk and EmailWidget.apk)
5. once done you can then go to email and try and setup an exchange account.
previously it only gave an imap and pop3 selection on the manual setup page. now it should include exchange as an option.
tested and working by me
again a big big thank you to the original poster/fixer the original thread is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056968
I attempted these instructions but after renaming the email.apk and email.odex, the e-mail app doesn't show in the list of apps installed. I attempted to install the email app from the files provided and it won't install.
My tablet is rooted and I made the changes using Root Explorer.

you're not supposed to install them, just drop them in the correct folder
sorry my reply to this post didn't include that i extracted the files to my flash drive and copied the files from the flash drive to the system/apps folder.

please help...
reboot

Thanks.. i repeated the hole process again and after three rebooting it works now and finally i can receive my company eMails naturally.
its a shame no search feature for this mail app.
Email FCs
I was able to copy the 2 APK files and configure my Exhange account but after it opens for a few seconds, it FCs.
Anyone had the same problem?
exchange is working
2 conditions:
1. you have to add an account in settings sync choose company
2. you have o define a pin code
3. you have to encrypt your device.
i am at the encryption stage takes an hour especailly to find out if it slows down somewhat.
so before barking check.
What a load of baloney. If you have the update from 139 or higher, all you have to do,with the default email client, is go to Settings , Accounts. Tap Add Account, Choose Corporate and set it up as normal. No PIN or encryption needed.

Getting exchange to work
Hi all,
I finally got it working but I had to do just about everything in this thread.
Use the (paid) Root Explorer, all the others just won't get the (root) privileges needed to rename and paste, eventhough they might say they have. I fiddled around with this for an hour before I gave up and bought the root explorer app.
Check the permissions of the original files (email.apk and email.obex), when you have pasted your new files into the /system/apps folder the permissions will probably be different. Reset them to what the original files were otherwise your e-mail app will not show up in the apps list.
Reboot! My email app disappeared and only returned when I rebooted.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the original post in this thread!!

PIN and Encryption requirements are set by your exchange server. Requirements change depending on how your IT has the server set up.
ok if you think so. I just can tell you that it will not allow to connect to exchange as long as you have not encryptet the device, and this has nothing to do with exchange requirements, but with standard ACER policy, ie. if you use it as a company device you should encrypt the device.
I am exchange administrator using as well exchange 2007 and 2010 virtualized exchange servers and i am sure i know what i am talking about. ACTIVESYNC does not require any encryption at all.
but of corse i am talking about the standard email client coming from ACER/GOOGLE, not some other made up email client needing root and so on.
but you can believe it or not, up to you, but that is the way it works.
I accidentally deleted the default contacts apk from my kindle fire. Could somebody with a rooted device post the apk of the contacts apk.
Note: i was trying get google contacts sync working, then read somewhere else that I actually need the stock contacts apk. Doh!
There you go!
BTW, after rooting and installing the googleblahblahblahframework, you need an app named sync settings to access the sync settings page and enable contact sync and voilá!
Actually, you don't have to download sync settings at all!
go to gmail>>>menu>>>accounts>>>(dont click your account)>>>hit menu again>>>account settings>now hit your account and you're in your sync settings.
Contact sync?
Is one of those options contacts because I am not seeing it...

I have also accidently uninstalled default contact app..(titanimum backup does not allow to restore)..
your contacts.apk link...how do i install
1. can i restore contacts via recovery flash/install zip..???
IF NOT HOW..
can you explain..
THANKS ALL
Rash, instilation is easy. You need to use root explorer,copy and paste the apk in the /system/app folder then you have to set the permisions by holding down on the apk. Set the first column(vertically) so each box has an X. In the second column you need an X in the top box. The rest of the boxes need to be empty. For an example you can find the video tutorial on youtube about installing the market. Diffrent apk here but the steps are the same.
I hope its not to soon for a double post but could someone upload the contacts provider apk as well?
it's on the same site post #2
The attached file is only the contacts apk not the provider apk, and sync settings, if thats what you were refering to is not the same app to my knolwedge. The provider apk is from google. Even if thats needed i cant find it on the market from the fire.
do you mean the googlecontactssyncadapter.apk ?
all google files should be in gapps.zip

I've tried to find it, but just can't find out for the life of me!
You need Root Explorer, ES Explorer or similar. Before you paste into /system/app you must mount /system as read/write within the app, then paste your file in. Once there, tap and hold on the file and a menu will appear with an option to fix permissions. You need to set owner with read/write and group and world with read only (it looks like rw-r--r--).

That's the bit i'm struggling with!
I'm sure i sound a complete retard, but i've tried long pressing on the system folder and i can't see any way to change permissions(i've checked properties but i can't edit any permissions)
I'm using ES Explorer, i have astro file manager too, but still struggling!
Sorry if i'm being a pain
EDIT: I've found the problem... i didnt enable root browser in the options ¬_¬
sorted it for now i think!
Thanks a load both of you
EDIT #2: I've changed the permissions, then something forceclosed, and now i've restarted and am stuck on the google screen on boot not good i assume!
I can't do anything with the device now!
did you change permissions on just the wallet.apk file?

Hi
I removed an app from my phone
I connected my phone to my computer and checked if there are any left over files, and yes there are
I am trying to remove the app folder in Phone->Android->Data
It gives me this error: "cache_blablabla cannot be removed: the storage location is write protected. Remove the protection and try again"
Could I somehow get administrator permission so I can remove it?

Any time you add or remove apps(especially apps in the system partition), you can boot the device into stock recovery mode and select the "wipe cache partition" option, then reboot. This is necessary because left over cached data from apps that are no longer there can cause conflicts with your device functioning properly.
When the device reboots, it will rebuild the cache as it needs and everything will work like it is supposed to.
This will wipe all cached data on your device, this does not remove your personal files or anything else important, it is not the same as factory reset, it only wipes the "live" data that the app has stored/loaded in the background while the device is on. Similar to clearing your RAM space on PC, it doesn't wipe the user data or any other data from your harddrive, it just dumps what is in your RAM.
One other thing, the Android/data folder is a necessary folder, that is where it stores app data for ALL of the apps that you installed. If you look inside that folder, you will see other folders, each of these other folders is a folder for each individual app that the phone is storing data for.
What you are actually probably looking for is how to remove that data that was associated to the app that you removed. That can be deleted using your phones file manager. Just open your file manager on your android device, select your internal storage. There you will see the Android folder, open it, then you will see all the folders for the individual apps. Find the folder there that is associated to the app that you removed. When you find it you can delete it from within your file manager app.
You don't need a PC, ADB or any other apps or fancy special tricks to delete folders that are stored within the Android/data folder.

Wow, thank you a lot!
Can I do that without rooting my phone?
And I am doing it because there's an app that gives away something free, you can use it max. 5 times and then you have to purchase. So I thought it'd be a good idea to remove everything associated to that app what might makes it possible to give me the free stuff again, haha
Do you know if it's even possible by removing those files? And if it isn't, do you maybe know where I should be looking at?

It is pointless for you to even try, the information that keeps track of how many times you've done it is probably stored online somewhere in some server for the developers/owners of the app.
