I formatted my sd card after installing Dwangs ROM, however I originally formatted it wrong so I got the black screen. Before I formated the SD card I had downloaded a bunch of apps.
Now that I've formatted the sd card all of my apps are gone. When I go into the Market to re-download them the market thinks I still have them installed.
I went to Manage Applications and cleared the cache of the Market App.
I then sorted for 3rd party apps and sure enough they still all show up under that filter but they are all 0.00Kb and when I click on them the phone just says App no found.
Anything else I should try beyond a whipe and re-install the Rom?
Yeah I had that happen too. I just went ahead a re-installed the rom, but I'm pretty sure if you pushed the .apks to /system/sd your phone would read them properly. They would have to be named exactly as they were before though - "com.handcent.nextsms.apk" for example, and not just "Handcent.apk."
this is happening with my lock screen widget, i try to add it it's not there i look in applications under settings and it's not listed, i go to market and in my downloads its there but i can't open or uninstall i've flashed 3 times already do i need a wipe? i have my apps on sd but i'm not trying to install them from market again
You can manually edit out the problem apps entries in /data/system/packages.xml
Nevermind i fixed it...just did a nandroid restore and then flashed cm4.2.4 then my theme and it's there and working now, strange

I recently upgraded from Cyanogen 4.0 to 4.1.99, and in doing so I used the "Backup from Root" application from the market.
It did a fantastic job restoring all of my applications, but a couple seem screwed up.
Twidroid Pro, eBuddy, and a couple others don't appear in my application drawer, but the shortcuts are broken on my phone's desktop.
I can't uninstall them via the market, but when I go to the twidroid page in the market for example, both the "Open" and "Uinstall" buttons are greyed out.
Any ideas?
sounds like the apps2sd got screwed up somewhere. reformat your sd card.

all is fine you uid's are screwed get the latest amon-ra recovery or in console type i think
Code:
fix permissions
should sort the problem also in the amon-ra ver its the fix uid mismatches
hope this helps
Thanks so much for your replies you two!
Neither of those methods seemed to have fix my problem.
I tried formatting the SD card, and typing "su fix_permissions" in the virtual console.
Interestingly enough when I went into the SD card to investigate the data that was backed up I noticed that all the applications that were having this problem are stored as .ZIP files, whereas all of the working ones are .APK files.
I tried renaming the .ZIPs to .APKs, but no dice.
Any other ideas?

its because they are private/protected apps...
im pretty sure youll have to reinstall them. you can find the apk's online and install them, then upgrade from the market
or you can try deleting them and see if market will allow you to install them again

find the name of the app
then find where its located
for apps2sd
Code:
ls /system/sd/app
if you see it there
rm -rf /system/sd/app/<filename of the app incl extension>
if not
ls /system/sd/app_private
rm -rf /system/sd/app_private/<filename of the app incl extension>
for non apps2sd
instead of /system/sd
use /data/
I'm having the same problem with Pandora but can't find it anywhere using ls (both on SD and on phone). It's not installed and I couldn't back it up because it's protected and after wiping my EXT3 partition it is listed as installed on the market with options grayed out so I can't uninstall it or install it. Any solutions?
***UPDATE*** below didn't work....

yeah i'm having the same issue trying to see if i can find teh Pandora apk somewhere that would make life easier as in doing
Code:
fix_permissions
it reported:
Code:
/data/app-private/com.pandora.android.apk does not exist. Reinstall.
I am doing it using ADB so idk if that will make a difference or not... but i'll let you know..
I am having this same problem and none of the solutions offered so far worked for me either. I see app shortcuts on my home screen, when I tap them I am told the application is not installed on my phone. However, when I go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, or to the Market, I can't open, uninstall, or update these apps.
At this point I'd be fine with just wiping out all data on my installed apps and just starting over from scratch, re-installing everything from APKs or the Market, but I don't know how to wipe that data out. I've done a wipe from the recovery image and reinstalled the ROM (Cyan 4.11.1), nothing helps.

if you have apps2sd
Code:
mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
will format the second partition, wiping all apps from your phone

That what caused me the problem. I already formatted the partition and now I have the problem described above.
ok so you dont have any of the apps on the partition but your rom is showing them as installed?
You will need to wipe and reapply the rom i believe, and that should get it working

Problem happens just with protected apps. There are enough traces of them to let the Application Manger in Settings and the Market to think that they are installed but there is no way to uninstall them or open them. Can't find them in the ext partition or the internal phone using the "ls" command in terminal. I'm hoping I don't have to Wipe again.
Same problem here
well you can try and clear your dalvik cache
that should hopefully resolve the problem
I tried to do that by:
Booting in recovery - choosing console
mount data/
rm -rs data/dalvik-cache
booting took a long time so i think he rebuilt it
But that didnt solve the problem

Nope. No change.
I managed to get mine working...
I wiped my SD complete just down to the bare fat32
Wiped phone
Re-installed ROM
booted
re-partitioned my SD card.
rebooted
and I was able to get my apps installed...

Can you clarify that? Do you mean that you deleted all the partitions on your SD card and just formatted it as one big, blank, fat32 partition? Thanks.
I've never had a problem with my Nexus one with any of the cyanogen roms, but when I updated to RC2, now my phone won't install apps. It'll download fine, but will freeze at the "installing" part. I've wiped and reverted to my nandroid backup, but now it won't install any apps from the market. I've searched the forum and I've tried, wiping everything and flashed RC1 and RC2, still no luck. Is anybody else having this problem and is there a fix? Please advise, thanks.
This happens to me about 50% of the time when changing ROMS. Try going to settings>applications>market> Force stop, then CLEAR DATA & CLEAR CACHE. Then next time you open the market you will get the terms of service again and you should be able to download and install. Hope that works for you.
(It could be related to the phone having too many processes to do immediately after flashing as well, so give it a few minutes to catch up as well.)
I tried that method and it didn't work for me, however I did find a similar post and they mentioned to delete the folders .android_secure , Android, download, LOST.DIR on the SD card. That actually fixed the problem, hope this helps other people.
I found today I couldn't install apps, got a "Not enough space" dialog... My SD card was 100% full, must download to the SD card temporarily. Whoops.
After installing CM6 RC3 I have lost all my apps on the SD card, they did come back for a short time after a reboot but then disappeared again after another reboot. I cannot even uninstall them or reload them from the market as they just hang when I try to uninstall or re-install from the market.
When I look at application info, the apps on the SD just show "Computing" and nothing ever shows up.
Also, I am unable to mount the SD over USB.
I have gone back to stock ROM but I still have the issue.
I was using apps2SD but I made sure not to move any widgets or running apps.
I've tried booting into recovery to wipe data and cache but of course my recovery is broken.
If I missed this in the forums please give me a search that will give me results that are not too numerous to parse.
Thanks for any help.
There is no apps2SD support in CM6 or the stock rom, that's why you can't see them.
CM6 only support the FroYo apps on SD method right now, and they are working on a newer better apps2sd for future versions.
If you flash back to CM5, you might be able to see them, but I am not familiar with the old apps2SD method.
Then why did my apps show up in CM6? They were there and functioning fine, I think I must have messed with a setting somewhere.
FYI, I was able to restore my apps by deleting .android_secure from the SD card and then re-install Ti Backup and restore my apps.
Can someone explain how the app location setting in CM6 affects apps? I am thinking when I enabled this it screwed things up.
The .android_secure directory on the SD card is the 2.2 official apps to SD. So you probably were using that all along and something screwed up. That's why you could use them for a bit.
In an effort to move all my bulkiest apps to the SD card, I tried moving the maps and facebook apps. However, as I had flashed gapps on CM 6.1.0 RC, facebook/maps could not be moved - "System updates cannot be moved...".
So, I deleted the apps from /system/app, rebooted... but the apps were still available. Then, I thought they might be in /data/apps... and there they were. So, I deleted the packages from there, as well. A wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot removed the apps from the phone, installed them from the market and voila - I could move them to the SD card.
I rebooted the phone and was trying to use the navigation, when it asked me to install the text to speech thing, installed it and maps/navigation worked fine. Facebook worked fine, too.
After a while, I was doing something and thought I should reboot the phone. When the phone came back up, maps & facebook apps were missing from the phone. I could see some default icons for those apps on my home screen, but when I tried accessing those apps it just said - App not available or something...
It's not a big deal, I reinstalled the apps and everything's up and running. I tried rebooting the phone a few times and apps are still there.
Has this happened to anyone?

System apps can't be moved to the sd card

I have moved them now and am using them fine... . This just happened once...
What makes an app a system app? Neither maps nor facebook, if uninstalled, would break the system... Here's what I think, all apps contained within the gapps package are considered to be system apps, by the system. That's why when you try moving them to SD card via Manage applications, it does not allow the action. However, once after flashing gapps, I removed the apps that I wanted to move to the SD card - Facebook, Terminal, Maps, Google Voice and such. I installed all of those from the market and proceeded to move them to SD card. All apps, except Maps & Facebook, worked and are working fine. Now that I think about it, I can just not flash the gapps and install everything from the market - now that gmail and youtube are available on the market.
What do you think?

Really? Did you have to make them regular apps in data first?

No - I just deleted those apps from /system/app and /data/app directories, rebooted and proceeded to install from the market. Once installed, moved them to SD Card from Manage applications.
BTW, I have got a 8GB Class 6 card... which enhances the performance of the SD card apps.

Recently I have problem with apps/games that become corrupted after a while and dont know whats going on with the phone.
In Manage Applications some of the apps/games become greyed out and displayed 0 kb. Even I uninstalled all those greyed out apps and after a reboot. They come back again in manage applications.
What can causing those corrupted apps/games?
Mine phone are rooted + cwm and stock Nordic ROM.
had you used anything like apps2sd to move the apps to/from the sd card?
ive had it happen on my old hd2 but this was due to a failed retore from a backup and apps not being linked in correctly

No, never used any app2sd before and never move any app/game to mine external sd either.
Even I reinstalled all those greyed out at manage applications and uninstall it directly. After reboot, it still there and I just dont know whats happening.
Ex, I installed tip off basketball game from market, play it for few minutes and after a moment. The game get corrupted and displayed as 0kb greyed out.
That apps dispalyed as SD in screenshot means, thay are installed on internal memory SD and not external_sd location.
Any got a clue whats going on?
possibly a corrupt system, might want to back it up and wipe it clean
