OK! My problem is I want to use the Facebook for android but when I upgraded to the latest CM it vanished.... so I check my app list to see that Facebook is still installed on my phone.... I just cant get rid of it... When I go to the APP the options OPEN and UNINSTALL are greyed out...... and when I check app manager FACEBOOK is no where to be found....... I was told I might need to go through $SU to uninstall the facebook app... but I do not know the commands....
So heres where you guys come in.
Can you guys help me troubleshoot this problem, and solve it?
delete the apk from /system/sd/app. Download a file browser if you don't know how to use the rm command.

This is what I did to solve the problem:

Tried something on a hunch, and it worked.
Mounted via ADB and removed the app. Then removed all traces of the app from Dalvik-Cache. Rebooted, reinstalled via the market. Boom, problem solved.
For others having similar issues, maybe give this a try?
Exact steps I followed:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/com.facebook.katana.apk
rm /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
rm /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
reboot

So, I had facebook for android installed and recently update to cyanogens latest ad somehow it got deleted. Could have been a theme that removed it, as I didn't notice it until after I applied a theme. The icon was still on my home screen, but not in the app tray and the widget is gone.
Anyway I when into the market and it says its installed, its not and the option to uninstall or open is grayed out.
Any way to fix this?
In order to get it fixed for me I had to go into adb and
Code:
adb shell
rm -r /system/app/com.facebook.katana
rm -r /data/data/com.facebook.katana
exit
adp push Facebook.apk /system/sd/app
The app still didn't work but I was then able to uninstall it in the market and reinstall the market version and it has worked fine.

The reason you're getting that, is because it doesn't exist in that directory, try the second command, and see if it gives you the same error.
put the apk on sd and try this :
1. Open a Terminal Window:
2. Type the following:
- su
- mount /system -o remount,rw
- cd /sdcard
- cp "appname".apk /system/app

Boot into recovery and try "Fix uid app mismatches" or you can download the App Installer by Flipz and run his Clear Cache thingy (www.geekfor.me and the go to downloads youll see app installer). Or if you have the 1.5.1 recovery you can clear the delvik cache in there somewhere.
Couple of options for you..
or just re-install the voicemail app..
app is attached

You should be able to Extract the ZIP to the root of the SD card, open Astro move into the SD card folder and just click on the APK. Then open it with Program Installer(i think thats the option, someting close).
If it errors, post back the message.
I moved the .apk i extracted to /sdcard/ and opened it with app manager and chose install. The error it gave me just said voicemail could not be installed on this phone.
I am also getting the error, "application not installed" when trying to install.

something weird happened on my phone when I installed the SuperD 1.9.3 rom. I've never had this problem before, so see if you can help me. I installed Chompsms and Acontacts amongst a variety of other apps. Well, I was texting earlier, when my phone froze. No biggy, I popped the battery out, placed it back in, and turned it on. Well I got the green boxes in place of the the logos for Chomp and Acontacts. I clicked on them and it said that the apps weren't installed? um, ok. I have aps2sd with ext3, so I figure something must have corrupted the file, no biggy, I'll just redownload it. So I go to the market, and it says the program is installed. I click on the program to try to reinstall, and the bottom where it says "open, uninstall" are greyed out. So the app isn't installed, but it is, so I can't uninstall and re-install. Anyone, help please? I really use these 2 apps!
Delete the apk's from /system/sd/
It also sounds like your marketdb file is still there too. I've had this problem with Backup for root users. It'll import the marketdb but sometimes it won't import the APK's. So that leaves you with no apps and the market seeing that you already have it. I'm trying to find where the program is pulling that file, and i'll let you know. If anyone else knows where it's at feel free to jump in.

That's what I was thinking but I didn't see it there...
While Im still looking for that file, you could also do the following:
Code:
Use switchrom and save your rom
flash a new rom
download the apks that are giving you problems (if its not too many)
use linda to save the apks to your SD card
switchrom back to the old rom
download and use linda to install the apks you saved.
It's not pretty but it'll get the job done.
Had a little time to look at the phone, did you try to delete the folder in /data/data/com.android.vending/?
Goto terminal emulator.
Type - mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (enter)
Type - rm /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/* (enter)
Type - reboot (enter)
Words in bracket are instructions and not to be typed.

I have read the discussions about amoled screens not using battery on pixels which are meant to be black because it simply doesn't light anything up in the case. I was wondering if its possible for someone to make a Google talk app that is black with white text. Since that's my most used app I'd be interested in seeing if it makes any battery savings.

I could have sworn that it had a black background in the Eclair days... or at least on CM5.x Eclair. I could be mistaken, though.
Its been done, along with gvoice.

Consider that you will not be able to update without uninstalling the modded version.
Wow that's brilliant..never even thought about that before

The app was problematic - not showing Mobile and Android contact status. I've updated it and attached the APK in the linked thread.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'll push it when I get home.
Maybe you can help answer a problem I'm having, I have 2 nexus ones, one for Tmo and one for ATT. The ATT is just a backup in case I move to ATT someday, and it's like my wifi tablet lol.
Anyways, when I originally figured out how to push the talk apk to my TMo nexus one, it worked perfectly. However, when I pushed it to the ATT one, it looked like it worked fine, it showed that the 1032 kb were pushed (I'm just guessing the amount)...and I rebooted the phone...the google talk is still white :S....I did it again, and again it looked like it worked fine, but the google talk is still white! Any idea how to check to see what I'm doing wrong? The command I'm entering is fine..
The talk.apk is in my sdk tools folder..and the command I'm using is
adb push talk.apk /system/app/talk.apk
The command you're entering is wrong. Linux is case sensitive, so is Android. Copy the command I gave above EXACTLY. And you might be pushing the wrong file, since you don't have it named right.
Thanks,
I had just figured it out last night. I needed to capitalize the T in talk....however, now when I do
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
I see in the files that there is a Talk.apk, and also a talk.apk. How do I remove the "talk.apk"?
adb pull talk.apk /c:/talk.apk ?
Pull doesn't remove, only copies to PC.
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm talk.apk
Once you execute "adb shell", you get to Linux shell. SH, specifically. Work with files and folders like you would in Linux.

Any way to install this via terminal emulator?
I am running Enom's 2.14.1, and I have apps2ext enabled...
I tried to use the command "mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
to remount via terminal emulator, but it says mounting remount on /dev/block/mtdblock3/system failed: Not a directory.
So I'm trying to figure out how to install these without the computer. I don't have root explorer but I'm not sure how it would work considering I have apps2ext enabled.
Any suggestions?

Theres a space before "/system".
should work
1)mount as above
2)command: cp /sdcard/Talk_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk
Thanks,
that gives me a new error though:
Code:
can't create '/system/app/Talk.apk': File exists
Got it!!
This command worked in terminal emulator to remount
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
Then I was able to do the cp /sdcard/Talk_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk

Make sure you're running compatible version. This is for Froyo, you're running CM7 - not the same Gtalk.

this is for Froyo, correct? Do you happen to have a Gingerbread version?
No, I didn't make one. Try to look for various dark CM7 themes, you'll probably find it there.
I recently rooted my Nook color with Auto Nooter 2.12.25. It gave me the Google Market but it is the old one and it only displays 10 apps in portrait mode and some of the buttons have problems working. I read in a thread that the newer market fixes that and I downloaded an apk named com.android.vending02.apk but when I try to install it, the app manager doesn't have an install tab. I downloaded a 3rd party install manager and when I try to install it says that 'There is a problem parsing this package'.
I have read that people have installed the updated market but no one gives an explanation how. Does anyone know how do this? Thanks for your help.
Found solution
I found a solution.
Dont just post you found a solution, that helps no one. post what the solution was or atleast a link to the fix.
Good Call
I installed the APK at the top of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872621 and then reset my NC and the new Market worked. Apparently, after reading through the thread, this method doesn't work for everyone. There are further instructions that may be of some use.
Now my market isn't working. After trying to install this and switch back both times when I open market it just disappears.

I had the same problem on my 1.1.0 NC rooted with Decad3nce's V1.1.0_r2 [01/29/2011] method (there's a huge long thread on that in the Development forum). I was dreading the possibility of having to wipe the machine and start over, but I just re-flashed the zip file, and everything's working fine again. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck with the old Market.
If you're feeling like you can handle cmd-line stuff, try this method out.
First download the attached newmarket.apk
open/connect adb
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb pull /system/app/Vending.apk (notice the cap V, also this will get put into your platform-tools folder. Back it up!)
adb push pathtonewmarket.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
adb reboot
Once you've rebooted then go into settings->applications->manage->all
Find the market and clear the cache
Then find google services framework and clear the data then force quit
reboot once more
After that the new market should work just fine.
Thanks Woot! does this work on Froyo 0.6.7 too?

I can confim that it does, I used it my self to get the new market installed.
If you're booting off of an SD card and want to install the new market there. All you need to do is change one line.
FROM: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system (eMMC system partition)
TO: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system (SD-card system partition)
