It keeps force closing on me and I have Open Home 1.5.4. I cant even open it or run it arggg.
Bump? Can anyone please help?
Tried uninstall / reinstall?
If you can get to uninstall, do a safeboot (menu + power).
Thats the first thing I did, I uninstaled and reinstalled 5 times. Restarted the phone then tried installing again. and i did a safe boot too. Idk what else to do, it just wont work.
Have you tried emailing the developer?
I guess worse comes to worse, a wipe... but completely download a new open home, not a backup.
Is it maybe because im running aHome on my G1 already and they conflict with each other?
No, I have aHome on mine too.
If you have apps to SD, there could be something curropting it. If need be, format your ext2 partition and redo it.
Download Paragon Partition Manager Professional Trial.
All my other apps on my sd work fine and i can install new ones to my sd perfectly fine, its just Open Home thats causing the problem, its really strange
Would you happen to know what command i would have to run to delete the Openhome cache and data that has been left there since the last install? I had it once on my phone and it worked perfectly fine maybe taht data is curropt
Nah I don't know a command except maybe go to menu > applications > manage applications > Open Home
Damnnn I need to do it with the commands because i think that the folder it installs itself too still has files in it which are curropt
well the open home data is /data/data/com.betterandroid.openhome2
so rm -rf /data/data/com.betterandroid.openhome2 would get rid of this, you'd need to su first though
Thank youu
Hey all.
After installing CM-v4.0.2 and the Dark Dream Theme I was golden.
Then I wanted to try Jac xrom. So I ran recovery, wiped, and installed and loaded the rom.
Everything was ok. But I noticed my apps were still showing up even after wiping. I think this is because of the A2SD feature....some would FC but I just uninstalled those ones and reinstalled and they worked.
So I ran recovery, wiped, and then installed CM 4.0.4. My apps are still there.
So now you know my history, how can I "WIPE" my SD card from my phone, if that is even possible?
I know how with my partition manager, but that is such a hassle....
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cd /system/sd
rm -r *
try that
Is that from Virtual terminal, or from recovery terminal?
Since u have cyan's 1.4 recovery u can fix it without deleteing them and installing agian. Go into the recovery console and run fix_permissions reboot and you sould be good. Should look like this:
Fix_permissions (press enter)
Reboot(press enter)
After it reboots u shouldnt have anymore fc!

its better to do it in the recovery terminal, but you can do it in terminal but you will receive massive force closes till your wipe your phone and flash a new rom. but try to do what pistol4413 said first, if you want to keep you apps
So if I wanted to start from scratch(no apps on SD) I would:
-Run the code david1171 provided from terminal
-flash a fresh rom
-flash a fresh theme
and if I want to change roms after that I would:
-wipe
-flash new rom
-run fix_permissions
[EDIT]
Would it be smart to do a nandroid backup so if I dont like a rom I can just reflash the backup?

yep you got it or for changing roms you shouldn't have to wipe if going between cupcake builds but a wipe is needed if changing from a hero to cupcake or vice versa.
Wow you posted fast. Thanks. I couldnt even edit that fast.

yeah i nandroid before flashing any new rom that i think could mess up. and i just go between forums a lot. i have the dev, theme, and Q&A in my toolbar on firefox so i just click between them frequentlly lol
So that code you provided only deletes the contents of the partitions, and not the partitions themselves?
rakjer said:

that is correct. to delete the actual partition you would have to go into parted via the recovery console and type rm x(substitute with whichever partition needs to be removed)
Ok. So I formatted my SD. Re-flashed 4.0.4.(no theme this time)
Now all is ok EXCEPT, when I go to my downloads, everything I have purchased/downloaded says it is still installed ,and I try to uninstall and it gives an "uninstall unsucessful". After that it highlights the app and makes it "purchased" so I can DL it again.
I tried to run fix_permissions but this had no effect.
Anyway around this?
Has this already been addressed? If not should I post this in Cyanogens thread?
It is possible that it is your market database connected to your gmail account, I wouldn't worry about it if the programs are no longer there

that's correct don't worry about it. if they say free beside them that should mean that they are no longer on your phone but it is still linked to the market database
He is saying that he is trying to uninstall them though so it would have to be saying installed so it is sounding more like some type of remains possibley on there

now i am confused bc he says it says free... wouldn't it say installed if the phone still thought the app was installed
oh wait i went back and reread what he said a few times, and from what i understand it could be that the phone registers the apps being on it but when he tries to uninstall it the phone can't find the app, then it says uninstall unsuccessful and gives the option to reinstall it. maybe thats what it is
That is exactly what is going on, it's nothing to worry about though

at least now he has a reason behind it yay for logical deduction
That is what is happening guys. Thanks for the insight.
All my purchased apps say installed, even though they are not installed.
When I select one from the "my downloads" it gives the option to run or uninstall.
-If I choose run, it says app not found
-If I choose uninstall, it says uninstall unsuccessful.
After all that, the app goes back to "purchased" status do I can DL again.
Same goes for the free apps.
This is quite bothersome.
Now I am just in need of a fix
Does any one have a fix or any suggestions to fix?

try going to settings- applications- manage applications- market- clear cache.
So after getting back up and running thanks to numerous members of this forum, I re-downloaded all my apps, and everythings good except for two of my most-used apps: Facebook and Pandora. My phone is telling me that both are installed, but they're nowhere to be found. The Market app has "OPEN" and "UNINSTALL" on the bottom of the page, but both are greyed out and I cannot select either choice. There are no folders on my SDCard for either app, and I can't uninstall them as they don't appear anywhere on my phone. Also, I can't install them because the market app is reading them on my phone. I'm in a bit of a pickle, as these are are both important apps to me. Anyone who could help would, as always, be owed a beer if they find themselves in NYC.
your gonna have to uninstall them using atrackdog or some app that uninstalls other applications. if that doesnt work, wipe your ext partition, and re download everything.
ALL my apps are stuck now...
Okay, I did what was suggested and wiped my partition, and now I have none of the apps installed on my phone, but when I go to the Market to re-download EVERYTHING, the Market app says everything is installed, and again, the buttons on the bottom to either OPEN or UNINSTALL are greyed out and i can't click either. So now, instead of only having two apps like this, ALL MY APPS are not on my phone, I can't download them, and can't uninstall them.
Any ideas?
Wipe from recovery. You didn't need to clear your partition, just remove the apk's for those two apps.

Clear your market cache to start, I think that will do the trick. If that doesn't help - wipe your phone and repartition sd again.
Good luck
I have the same issue for two of my paid apps...this was after i flashed a hero rom and went back to cyanogenmod.Im stuck I tried wiping data through recovery.? help pls

Clear market cache, then fix permissions...Wipe then reflash if that doesn't fix it. Apps in /app-private also get screwed up when switching ROMs, that's why I pull them to /sdcard then reinstall them so they reside in /app.
i have apps2sd enable. i installed an app from the market and then i uninstalled ith through linda's app manager. when i rebooted my phone and went back into the market to try to install the app again, i have no option to download it all.

Use any option it gives you to uninstall the app, then reinstall it.
Similar issue.
I am having a similar issue.
I installed Toggle Settings (Donut) on my G1 (CM 4.2.5 I'm not using apps2SD) and then decided to uninstall it. Now when I go to the market and my downloads it shows that I have Toggle settings installed. The problem is that I don't and it gives me no options to do anything (open and uninstall are grayed out). Other apps install and uninstall normally with the market updating their status correctly. I don't know what to do to correct this. If you know how to remedy this, please help me.
I apologize if this is an inappropriate place to post this but I serched and this was the closest topic to my problem that I found.
Try finding it in the app-private folder or if its in any of yours apps as a .zip file. If so, back it up and delete it from the phone. see if that resolves the issue. if not try deleting the market cache

Thanks for replying... It's not in any of my other apps and I've tried deleting the market cache (and deleting the market cache and power cycling the phone) and that isn't working. Where is (or should be) the app-private folder? I'm not finding that folder.
I'm starting to feel like my only hope is an update being put out for the app and then hopefully I can download that and go from there.

Had a similar problem
I wiped my phone and did a frech Cyan 4.2.5 install to help clear a problem with Gmail. I used backup for root users to get all my apps back, but it left a couple out - leaving me in the same situation you guys are in - can't install/uninstall from the market as the buttons are greyed out, but it's not actually on your phone.
i eventually stumbled over a solution of sorts when i reverted back to a themeless 4.2.5 - for me flashing the update again sorted out my market data and allowed me to install the missing apps again. either that, or go into a nandroided backup, extract the apks and manually push them to your current setup - buttons are magically no longer greyed out.
Thanks guys.
Thanks for your guys assistance.
I found another solution that worked. I had one of my coworkers download Astro File browser and then the Toggle settings app. I just backed up his toggle settings with the built in apps manager in Astro and then put his memory card in my phone and restored toggle settings with Astro. Then I went to the market and uninstalled toggle settings through the market and bingo no more ghost of Toggle settings problem. Thanks again for your assistance.
For those of you who didn't already know, a new Android Market was released today! The Market was updated to v2.2.6. It will gradually roll out to different phones. Those of you who want it now can install it with this easy .apk file.

Have fun!
I installed after deleting the existing market apk. It force closes every time I try to use it. I cannot move it or copy it to system apps. I can put it in either internal memory or on the SD card. I can accept market terms and start it but then it force closes. I tried clearing data, cache and rebooting but same force close every time. I did not delete market updater apk. Any suggestions? I have the original market reinstalled until I can come up with a solution.
Woah, that's a huge change. o.o
I recommend getting the sgs tools app from the market. It has this included now and you don't have to worry about sideloading or moving the apk with a file manager or adv commands. The new market is really nice.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
works on cm6.1 beta 3
Worked on Perception 8. Just copied it over to my sdcard and installed it using the normal installer. Thanks man! It looks awesome.

Looks/works well but where's the update all button? Does it only appear only when there are more than one apps to update?

Works and looks great on Captivate and I also suggest using SGS Tools FTW.

New market seems like a step backwards in some ways. I can see the need to reduce the refund time, but 15 minutes is nuts. Also, removing the tabs? That's just a mess.
Bring the tabs back, and make refund time 3 hours, and I'm a happy guy.
I also think it's a step backwards in a lot of ways. Yeah, that nice green design header looks cool... but it dominates the damn screen. Annoying!

Update: Tried to go back to original version via SGS tools restore script and lost Market completely.
Reinstalled new apk via droid explorer and it reappeared, and now search functionality works as expected.

Yea... but you can scroll around and lose the header once you start browsing.
Didn't have any issues after installing it - search feature worked.
Just downloaded straight onto my phone and used the base installer (no droid explorer, astro etc..) and it worked fine.
Also you get the "update all" on the top button under your downloads if you have multiple updates - which I did
Thanks again for this.
