Rooted phone like a charm.
Only thing is I cannot download from Android Market.
It stalls at "starting download".
I have tried following suggested remedies:
1. Log into G-Talk (cannot do it just idles at logging and never really logs in)
2. Backed up Market.apk and uninstalled updates and cleared cache thorugh settings-manage apps and re-installed Market again but no avail.
I am loosing it!!!
I read Paul from Modaco has a linux script to enter via adb that fixest the problem..
It reads to fix Market issues, here we goes http://bit.ly/cUTISr
"TRY at your own risk..
I hope it works for you good luck..
Don't know if this will help but do you have the latest busybox installed?
Feeling Vibrant on xda-app
Im rooted with no Market place issues.
I have strange market issues, but it seems more related to WiFi than it does to anything else. I have no problem connecting to the market via E/3G, but the second I turn on WiFi all my market downloads stall out, and I can no longer access GTalk, or Google Voice Search.
Didnt have the problem before root, or on any other rooted Android device.
Both before and after root, I've had market issues over wifi with needing to start downloads a couple times every once in a while.
No issues before/after root with market on 3G
I'm rooted as well with no real issues. I'll get a random force close from time to time, but I was getting that as well before I rooted. I just think it's a Market/Google issue, and not so much that the phone is rooted.

I've had my phone rooted since it came out of the box, have had no issues.
I recommend doing a wipe on the phone and starting from scratch.
I have tried Modaco thing it didnt fix it.
I cant seem to get to do with busybox either, likely as I am novice.
I think my problem was that I just plain deleted pre-loaded apps through android mate app to which i granted superuser access.
My redneck solution now is to take out the sim card put it back into my old my-touch 3g, access market, install app, back it up, transfer apk file over to PC and then from there into back-up folder in Vibrant and install it from there using astro. Desperate...
How do I wipe the the whole thing and start from scratch? Do I back up the whole ROM on formated sd card and then wipe and back up again from that sd card? I have never done that before. Wouldn't I just back up the whole faulty system again?
I've been having the same problem with no fix so far.
The guy who put up this solution seems to know what's going on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711660&page=2
The only problem is that finding a friend with a Galaxy is going to be hard. If anyone is happy to post the dumps depending on requests, that would be greatly appreciated.
I also have a similar problem, but the the downloads start and complete, it just LAGS like no ones business (~15-30 seconds in between hitting install, and when the next "okay" windows comes up.....till then I am staring at 2 grey bars and the white application background w/ nothing on it, and no loading happening. Are these related?
Thanks!
Market root or non root fix.
I had the same exact problem like you guys.
Seems that the market it self and the "download manager" included in the market use individual settings to access the network.
I got this problem after i used wifi only to connect to the market. Downloaded whatever i needed.
Turned wifi off, turned off flight mode so i could connect to 3g.
Open the market back again, tried to download something else and always would get stuck at "downloading". Funny thing i could browse any apps in the market but downloading would do nothing.
Here's the fix:
Close market completely, either using a task killer or reboot your phone.
With wifi mode off and flight mode turn on, open the market app.
It wont do anything of course.
Close the market (don't have to kill app)
Turn off the flight mode, this will turn 3G back on.
Go back to your market and try downloading something.
It should work.
Feel like it's an issue with the market app more then anything related with root or non root being done.
Let me know if this works for you 2.
Unfortunately the above fix did nothing for me.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
having the same problem with my galaxy s, any help would be really nice
cheers

Rooted:
open titanium backup
select the market
wipe data, twice if you want to
still in TB, go menu > more > market doctor
fix the missing links, if any.
go to market, accept the terms
go download an app
work?
This almost always fixes my market issues, if not... reboot and try another data (3g/wifi)
I finally found a way to fix my market as nothing else was working to fix it, I would post a link but I can't copy and paste the link but if you search for my post called market issue fixed (possibly) then follow that and see how you get on

As in Market version 2.2.6? Try finding com.amarket.apk. You want the latest market, version 3.3.11. It's linked to in a few places. Check the dev fourm. I just pointed someone else to thread with something like "Android Market..WTF" that had it posted.
*Edit* and looking at that other post, it was you who I was responding to. lol

Hm, the last thing I can think of is your permissions. Make sure they are set
rw-
r--
r--
after copying the .apk to /system/app and prior to installing it (ditto on the googleservicesframework.apk). After that, I'm sorry to say I can't be of much further help.
Make sure you clear cache and Data as well on the app. Makes a difference.
forgive the noob question, but once the apk's are copied to the system/app directory, do they keep the same file name? i've copied over both the market app and the google services app and now do not see them listed in the app folder.
thank you for your patience.
hold on; i am making some progress...
please do not reply in the off chance i can figure this out and learn my way through.
thank you again for being patient.
i've gotten the apk's copied over, but under permissions there's also an execute column. do i uncheck those variables to get the
rw-

you mention?

*Edit* Just saw your post so I'm removing my instructions so you have a shot to figure it out. Yes, use the above settings I posted. And after you set them, back out and then go back in and make sure they've stuck.

is that how you would manually install all apk's? meaning would you copy and paste them into the system/app directory and then change their permissions identically?

No, only if you're trying to make them a system app. Technically, you don't have to install them at all once they're in /system/app. At boot the system will allow anything in that folder to run.
The reason it's a good idea to install the google related stuff is because it will then add them to /data/app (I beleive). Allowing you to keep functionality after OTA system updates. With the newst version 6.2 I did not have to re-install any of my google apps, including the Market, and have yet to run into any issues.
Normally, you would just need to click on an .apk to install it (doesn't matter where it's at). The trick is to get them onto your KF someway (USB, dropbox, email) in order to sideload them.
i've been using usb to get apk's onto my fire. i was then just clicking them in the folder i had placed them in to install them. i've only installed a few, but adroid market was one that definitely never worked after install. right now i've got it copied over per your instructions but cannot verify it works as i cannot get it to log into my goggle account...not sure why. amazon connection works fine.
thank you again for your help.
you have done it.
after rebooting i was able to get my account to log into android market and the very first app i tried to installed worked without a problem.
thank you most kindly.
now to focus on the display being stuck in landscape...

Awesome! Glad you got it working. Sorry, can't help with the landscape thing. Good luck!
landscape was a standard setting on the main screen...gear widget/lock/unlock...such a noob.
That's ok. I was just looking at this thread regarding the landscape lock and found out the same thing. Got set inadvertently by the infamous "somebody".

Hi
Having some physical AZERTY keyboard issues with Taboonay 2.2 (great ROM), I decided to come back to stock 3.2 ROM, wich I did (downloading it from here).
But the problem now is that my market does not want to download anything, keeping stuck on "Preparing to download" or something like that...
Did some of you have this issue ?
How to solve it ?
Thanks
Nico
Restart the device, log into Gtalk and then try downloading from the market.

Might need a different version of the market app. If the above trick doesn't help, let me know, and I'll get you a good working version with instructions how to install it. I sometimes get that same error (stuck at downloading), but usually I have to cancel it several times, and eventually it get's going. Pretty sure with me, it's the Market site. They've only put out about 50 different versions of it, and when you get one that works, disable the auto update. Hopefully that stops it from updating to a newer version that doesn't work.

The market site is already a good alternative, but not very easy when I want to download many apps at once...

Rule number 1. Never download and install multiple apps. Sure way to "clog" the system. 1 at a time bro.

Ok, here is the market app I use.
I'm an old fashioned guy, so heed the instructions,
I assume you are rooted.
1. Using root explorer, or a file manager that has root access, rename you current "vending.apk" to like "oldvending.apk"
2. copy my market.apk into system/app folder.
3. Rename the market.apk to vending.apk (you probably need to only change the first name).
4. With your file manager, you can check the permissions (long press). Make sure your vending.apk has the same permissions as other files in the directory. Click the box as needed.
5. Reboot your tablet.
6. Go to Settings/applications/application manager, and delete the cache's.
7. This will make you log in to google market again when you start the app.
Should work, as the same version works for me.
EDIT: XDA, seems not to be able to handle attachments just now. They seem overloaded...... They can only handle about 200 users at any one time.

I'm about to destroy my phone and go back to iPhone 5 because that didn't constantly make me want to destroy everything around me.
I wanted to side-load an app. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted it and was re-installing my apps.
When I go to install an app it says that there is no more space. the file is 4.85mb and I have 12GB of storage left.
I tried:
-Re-booting
-Installing other apps (which works)
-Clearing the cache
-Downloading Trail from PlayStore (I get the same result)
NEW:
-When plugged in via USB to my PC, device doesn't show up under "Computer" [Running Windows 7 x64)
What I did:
I backed up my phone and wiped the whole thing because I was running out of time last night
Thankfully Foxnov1990 and ImbaWind's tips worked. I restored the original backup and it solved my problem. Thanks so much! Love ya guys! :victory:
AFAIK my friend and I don't have this problem with our N4 and my friends don't have this problem with their GNEX.
Btw this is a N4 forum.

I get the attitute, but you might wanna at least try to be friendlier as we're just here to help.
But On-Topic: have you tried this?
File explorer (app)
Go to /data/app (in System (root))
Del this line
com.maxmpz.audioplayer-1.odex
I've had it before that on stock ROM (aka unlocked bootloader and rooted) which means that it's not DEodexed that some Odex files were left behind. Which means that whatever you try, as long as that file is there, you won't be able to install the app. (shouldn't happen but it's possible in rare occasions)
Hope it helped.
If it didn't help and the Odex file is not there, see if you have Lucky Patcher installed, deinstall it (it sometimes holds on to odex files), and try installing PowerAmp now. Then reinstall Lucky Patcher

Honestly, I have installed and deinstalled the app more than you can possibly imagine... and I've nearly never had issues with reinstalling.
And when I did get issues it was Lucky Patching (having patched the app) that was holding on to the odex and I couldn't delete it till Lucky patcher was deinstalled.
So not sure what **** you mean but there was always an easy solution for me

Oh yep, always happen when I use lucky patcher to removed the app's ads !
I've run into a similar issue before.
I've had similar issues when I've removed an .apk using adb or root explorer without removing its associated .odex file.
Use root explorer and try to find an .odex file that has the same name as the package that you are having trouble installing.
There are some cache cleaning utilities in the Play store that might assist you as well.

Good luck. Also, try to approach asking for help in a more mature manner in the future. You are not entitled to hack a device then complain when something unexpected happens.

Hey everyone,
I'm having a problem where a specific list of apps keep redownloading and installing again on my phone after I reboot... I want to say there was a file I had to freeze or delete so that it wouldn't install again after every boot. I remember doing it before, but I've searched for a while now and can't find which file that would be. Does anyone know which file it is? or how to fix my problem?
Thanks!

Sounds like it would be Google Play doing it to you. Go into Play Store app - menu - settings - Auto Update Apps - Never Auto Update
Was yours set to "update on wifi only"?
