market issue? (closed) - G1 Apps and Games

Ok, so I installed cyanogen's latest and greatest, but handcent kept force closing.
First, I uninstalled and reinstalled via market, still force closed.
Then, I uninstalled via manage applications. No problems there.
Went to reinstall from the market, but it says its already installed, with the open/uninstall buttons greyed out. Its definitely not on my phone, and I checked the sd card to make sure it wasn't there either. Any ideas?

The best and easiest way is to reinstall a backed up copy of handcent.
Then you can uninstall/reinstall as you wish from the market
or....
You need to first delete the handcent data folder in /data/data
Then delete /data/data/com.android.vending
reboot
You will need to accept the Market TOS again
The first way is the safest and easiest, but #2 will work with no other alternative.
If you have no backup, and don't want to try step 2, PM me with your email and I'll send a copy of Handcent.

That would be awesome, thank you. I tried to find another place to d/l it from online last night, but was unable to.

Two Apps Stuck, Can't Open, Can't Uninstall

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.

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.

app-private should be in the same folder as app
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.

uninstalling goggles, amazon mp3

i am really new to this and have my phone on kernel 2.6.33.2-cyanogenmod cyanogenmod-5.0.6-n1 build epe54b as of last night and dont know about these commands i see on google. i tried something called terminal but i am really lost on using it. it gives me a denied permission. i might be using it wrong but i dont know if it is what i should use to uninstall these. any help?
you can use Titanium backup to delete the apps...download it from the market and then open the app, go into backup/restore tab, and click on whatever app you want to remove and just un-install
hope this helps
thanks i just loaded that and when i clicked the backup/restore tab nothing shows up...
i think when you first open up Titanium backup, it tells you to hit "Problem" so the busybox can be downloaded and then the app needs to be restarted
so try that first, open the app, click on problem, then it will download something, then restart the app
i have but still no apps. i uninstalled and disablled apps2sd and reinstalling both apps and that worked! thanks for recommending the apps and the replies!!!

Swype Force Closed

I've been having a lot of problems lately....I've searched all over Google and tried many different versions of Swype but get the same result...it keeps force closing itself whenever I try to use it.
It worked flawlessly before when I first got the phone! I decided to try the new Swype beta and stupid me I didn't backup Swype with Titanium (though I did make a backup with Titanium but not sure how to use it or if it'll solve the Swype problem) and installed the new Swype Beta from the official site but it gave me:
"Sorry!
The application Swype (process com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
dumpstate_app_201012212300_com_swype_android_inputmethod.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log."
I restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled many times but it's the same outcome I want my swype back!!! T.T I THINK it comes with Android 2.1? I'm not sure...it was on the phone when I bought it 2nd hand.
Regardless I'm sad regular keyboard SUCKS comparatively.
Thanks in advance.
Running Android 2.1 unlocked and rooted.
Same Problem here !
Try this;
Uninstall Swype, also delete libSwypeCore.so from your phone! Restart your phone, and reinstall Swype through an apk

More specifically, uninstall swype using an application like Titanium backup.
Also, delete /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so using root explorer or ADB. Then reboot your phone and install swype like an apk.
I love the quick responses...but strangely enough...
I have done those things. I deleted the libSwypeCore.so BUT it comes back whenever I look into root Explorer and I have even tried to delete it multiple times! And yes I did delete it and try rebooting (powering off device and powering back on) but it still remains! When I delete it it's gone until I exit the folder...then it comes back
I'm stuck with SlideIT for now which kinda sucks in comparison...I want to use the new swype, which they made open beta btw, but sigh
And I've tried multiple APK versions but to no avail...even 1.5, 2.1.0, 2.15, 2.6.5.
Using SlideIT for now and it pales in comparison to Swype Any ideas?
All I can say is that I had the exact same problem as you, and deleting libSwypeCore.so was the magical break through for me. Like canuck had posted, I uninstalled with Titanium Backup, and then deleted libSwypeCore with Root Explorer.
Hopefully someone else comes in with another solution for you.
yea I tried to delete the libSwypeCore.so but it would come back LIke a bad rash...a really quick instant bad rash...I delete it and as soon as I enter the folder again it's there again!!!
Is there another way to delete it permenantly?

Hmmm, I don't know if this is your problem, but maybe you forgot to click "Mount R/W" before you tried to delete the libSwypeCore.so file? Also, make sure you click "Mount R/O" after you're done deleting.
to be honest, i had the same problem. I just resorted to installing a custom rom.
just to make sure.. are you uninstalling the program before you delete the file. If you are forgetting to uninstall it first, could be a good reason as to why the file keeps returning.
If not, then not quite sure myself. Using a custom rom and if you are, could just backup apps/data and reinstall the rom... just another idea..
Zug
I'm on a fascinate...
but similarly....
mine keeps returning upon reboot too. Tried reinstalling / uninstalling with manage apps / reinstalling / uninstalling with titanium... (and deleting libSwypeCore.so after each uninstall... ) only to find libSwypeCore.so back after both restarts. Swype installs fine but when I try to run it it FC. Also get a FC for the swype process when booting up my phone even though slideit is currently set to default.
arg
i dont wanna reflash / format. im lazyyy
Edit: I figured out why I couldn't get rid of it. Root explorer... Even though when I navigate to the folder it said R/w, when using the search function to find the file within the folder...(as I'm too lazy to scroll down) it wasn't letting me delete it with R/W. I had to just scroll down to the file and longpressdelete... i didn't realize the search results wouldnt be in RW even though it said RW at the top.
FYI... The beta installed properly and no longer FC's
thanks, guys. i was able to get it to work. i was having the same problem. i made sure to delete the files using root explorer, i cleared the swype date, force closed then unistalled. then redownloaded the swype beta that i was using. everything is working good now.
im using an atrix.
tried all of this reinstalled and still getting buzzing and forced closes got to be a way to get this to work

Need help with new market

I downloaded the new market apk then installed after renaming old one. Now when I open it, it asks me to accept terms. After I accept, it tries to open then just disappears. I tried doing the old market and now that does the same too. Cleared cache, same result. Any tips?

Try Clearing the Data, with Titanium Backup? Also which Market did you install 2.2.7? and is this on 2.2 or 2.1?
Tried titanium but it didn't work. The version is 2.2.6. I appreciate your help.
Have you tried using Logcat, and seeing what the error is there?
Lol what's logcat?
Logcat basically logs everything that your phone does. It's helpful when trying to figure out problems.
