Metamorph breaking the Market? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems after using Metamorph update 1.8 to apply some mods, the Market breaks. The Market will browse to and download apps without any problem, but as soon as it starts to install the downloaded app, it force closes. Anyone else have this issue? I've seen several people post about this yesterday, suspecting Metamorph was the culprit, and now I've found this to be true. Any fix for this?

No. Download tab here, not T-Mobile. Thanks though.

If its a animation, then reflash the rom to remove them.

Huh? No, it's not an animation, and removing the themes and even Metamorph itself didn't fix the Market. Reflashing the ROM did nothing. Had to wipe. Was able to reproduce.

OK then, thanks.

What I think is happening is that with the new update, the market is looking for keys that do not exist after the market is metamorphed. It is an easy fix without wiping though, just press menu --> settings --> applications --> manage applications --> market --> uninstall updates
Then go back to the market and enjoy your downloads.

can anyone confirm that uninstalling udates in the market works? I quit using MM because of this

Can't confirm. Ditched Metamorph for the time being.

Yes if you unistall the market update if will work

Market broken fcs

I keep getting force closes in my market, whenever something is about to install, it finishes downloading, then FCs, so i can not update or install anything.
It looks like this happened after i themed with glass widgets. I have tried reflashing Gapps, it didnt work, i just want to know if there is a solution before i flash CM5.0.6 again
some details:
cm5.0.6
Latest intersectraven AVS
helix launcher 2
glass widget theme.
transparent notification bar.
hmm, so i flashed cm 5.0.6 again with gapps (no wipe)
still no luck
go in to settings -> app settings -> market -> uninstall updates
sorted my FC's out

Your getting the com.android.vendor.apk error im guessing.
The Morph you installed screwed up the vendor file.
Bad news is I have only seen this issue fixed with a wipe and reflash.
That's the one, seems to happen with a combo of morphs. Luckily i always nandroid

A few of the morphs seem to have this issue, they theme a few apk's that can't be reverted with a simple reload with no wipe.

This fix worked for me . Thanks for the help man. I am going to begin looking into the ins and outs of Android. These things are interesting. I wonder what uninstalling updates did on a system level to help out...

Market has totally lost it

Starting around the Google Maps update yesterday, any app I download from the Market downloads over and over. This is on the latest CM (5.0.6). Does the same after a full wipe. Tried the MCR Desire ROM, and it can't even see paid apps now. What's going on?

uninstall updates to the market under manage applications... this has worked for me in the past...
Nope, not doing it. Now I can't see paid apps, and they still don't download right.

i don't know if you are looking in the right spot....where you would uninstall the updates is not in the market itself. it is in settings...applications...manage applications. then scroll down to market, select and uninstall updates
That's exactly what I did.

First thing I tried. No luck. The issue persists with a full wipe and reinstall of CM.
same here this is ridiculous!
same here, had this first after i tried to metamorph the framework on cm 5.0.7-t2, then right after a full wipe and reflash of cm and gapps.
now i'm back to a nandroid from may 10th and on 5.0.7-t2 and the market (v1713) works.

Working Market fix (tested on TnT Lite, should work elsewhere)

First off, this is not my fix and I take no credit for it - I am just passing it on. Many thanks to xguntherc for posting the original fix, and KorbenD for pointing me in the right direction on Titanium Backup.
Their posts, as a reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9294190&postcount=2835
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9302719&postcount=2846
I will summarize the Titanium Backup solution, as that's the one I had gotten to work. The non-TB solution did not work for me, but still relevant as some people have gotten it to work in cm:
- Get a copy of Titanium Backup and sideload it (free version is fine). http://matrixrewriter.com/android/
- Make sure the Market is working with your Google ID, of course.
- Go into Settings -- Applications -- Manage Applications and Force Stop both the Market and Google Services Frameworks apps.
- In Titanium Backup, go into "Backup/Restore", look for "Google Services Framework 2.2", click on it and then choose "Wipe Data". Then go back to the home screen.
- Run the Market app. You should get an error (that's a good thing, as that's what we want. If you don't get an error, re-try the steps above until you do).
- Reboot, and wait at least a minute after the OS is up to let things stabilize.
- Run the Market again. You should see an immediate difference.
EDIT: You might have to do one more reboot to get apps to actually download and install. I had this issue, but it might have just been me.
I tested this on TnT 1.02, but keep in mind that my TnT is further modded so results may vary. Good luck!
It worked!!! Thanks a million my friend for posting this.
Works on Zpad 1106
Working very nicely on v1 build of the zpad clean V1.0 Thanks this is great!
Updated apps!!! rockplayer is now working he he.... I'm like a kid in a candy store Nice find man
Works perfect on 6.1 beta!!! Thanks!
This doesn't seem to work on a rooted stock g-tablet. I also tried the Titanium Backup method, but no luck. It does give me the Market terms of use on first run.
You guys are going to force me to use a modded firmware! I still want to wait and see what ViewSonic/Flextronics comes out with for an update.

Well, as soon as you add gapps, it's technically modded already. You might as well come to the dark side 100%!

Seems this device may steal a lot of the Archos 101's thunder for mid to higher end Android users, since easy to root and a LOT more powerful. Apparently both devices have the same display too. Need to see the Archos 101 in "person" to confirm this, but Youtube vids show the same weak angles.
Talk about irony. Archos talks smack and is a month and a half late (even later for 2.2), only to be beat to and in channels by a device with no smack talk. Ironic.

Did you start Market after each reboot? Or did you just reboot three times.
OTA: Using the vanilla post over the air update to... 2638(?) I think?
Tried Market everytime. And each time it came with error screen.
Last one came populated
Hope it helps
I don't seem to be able to get the desired results, no matter how many times I reboot.
If the ViewSonic update doesn't give a decent market, I will reset the device and start over. I'm still not convinced that I need to install a custom ROM.

The Viewsonic update is going to be a device reset, for all intents and purposes - that's why I'm not making any mods until that comes out.

I'm using this fix on stock, rooted G Tab & it is working great. I followed the video in the thread to flush the cache and all is up and running.
Is my Titanium Backup not installed properly? (first time ever trying to use it, I'm a total n00b on all of this) I get to Backup/Restore, but don't see any sort of Google Framework entry. Is there something I need to run first?

It should be in there - it's "Google Services Framework 2.2", it's alphabetical.
You have gapps installed, I assume? Market is there?

I sideloaded Market, didn't use the TNT/gapps loader. So perhaps that's my problem. (Though I don't see any apps listed in Titanium Backup/Restore. Maybe it has something to do with the error I get about "BusyBox works but the 'su' command does not elevate to root" when I open it.)
(Can't do the YouTube Market fix, either, because I have no option in the TnT Settings / Applications to Clear Data--only Clear Cache is there)
I imagine I'll be going to TNTlite pretty soon, but I was waiting for the OTA for.... no particular reason, really.
Thanks.
This worked great for me using tntlite 2.0, but this step "- Go into Settings -- Applications -- Manage Applications and Force Stop both the Market and Google Services Frameworks apps." the manage applications buttton was missing.. the actual button I used was System Applications.. otherwise the instructions worked. also be patient when you are wiping data in titanium backup, after hitting the button it does take a while before it will show a popup saying "data wipe complete"

new market force closing?

The new market keep force closing...can't even get it to open. I tried clearing data and cache and that didn't help. Uninstalled updates and downloaded an early version of the market and that one tries to open but FC's too. Running Miui 1.8.5. Any ideas on how to fix this. Annoying.
Did you ever get this going? I am having the same issue, tried all I can think of.
I had this problem too one one nook (have access to 2, both on miui). Only solution so far was rolling back using titanium and the renaming market updater with .bak to disable it. If i didn't market would update and fc again.
Strange thing is - the other nook is still fine and is on same market release as the other was when it was force closing.
Hoping for a better solution.
I dont like the new market, its design sucks and it lags terribly..
The solution is easy. Use Titanium Backup to remove the otherwise impossible to remove Market Updater application.
Then go into your System > Applications menu and choose to uninstall updates for Market.
This way you can use the old, properly working market, without worrying bout the OS to redownload the new one.
I hope I was able to help you.

[SOLVED] Problems with Google Play 3.5.15

So, recently I noticed that my Market (or Google Play, whatever you want to call it...) got updated to version 3.5.15. Since then, I'm not able to download some free apps like the newest Angry Birds (space) for example. It keeps saying that there is some kind of purchasing problem even though the app is free? This also happens with a few other apps...
The strangest thing is that I can download some other apps like Coin Dozer with the newest version, and I can't even update every app. I mean, I can update some of them, but I can't update Superuser for some reason...
I'm using the latest Temasek's KANG with the latest kernel from vadonka. (HOC LITE OTF 48MB). And I was wondering if this problem is related to the market version.
EDIT: So, I figured that I can only download apps from the Play Store I previously downloaded before. With other words, apps I once installed but then removed. (like Coin Dozer).
Thx for taking your time!
UPDATE 1:
So, after messing around a bit I finally managed to solve this problem. First I deleted all the updates and installed the market apk 3.4.4. Afterwards I made sure that the apk wouldn't update itself again with the help from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431341
Now I got a functional Market again. It's not the latest, but at least it's working normally again. I know it didn't really solve the problem with Market 3.5.15, which is a pity because I kinda liked the new updates. But, Hey, you win something and you lose something.
UPDATE 2:
Finally, after the help from UnityCake (Thanks bro! ) , I managed to solve this problem and now I've got Market 3.5.15 working again! .
Thanks you guys for your help!
I really appreciated it!
I have the same configuration and all works fine. Try to reinstall the rom
or you could try clearing your market cache if you haven't already, failing that boot into recovery and wipe cache & dalvik there. or.. uninstall the market updates, and let it update again later =)

Hmmm... I already tried wiping cache and fixing the permissions. I'm pretty sure the problem is related to this specific version because previous versions were working fine for me. But I will try it, thanks for the tips!
EDIT: I tried wiping the cache of the market application and the problem still persists. Also, I deleted the updates and let the Market app update itself again to 3.5.15 and the problem still isn't gone. I'm pretty sure the problem is related to this Play Store version.
I had a big bug with latest version a couple of days ago, I couldn't instal anything and all installed apps vanished from market menu.
I erased my Google account from the phone and set it again and all was ok then.
Yes it's the same version

So I suppose you need to erase your Google account with the 'accounts & synchronization' option in settings. However when I try to do that, it says I only can delete my account by doing a factory reset in the 'Privacy' option. My question is, isn't there an easier way to delete my Google account, without losing all my data?
Maybe try to re-install/flash Google Play Store. We have the same ROM and KERNEL, but, I don't have any problem with the latest Market. Hope it helps.

Hmmm.... Okay, then I will factory reset my phone and reflash everything and see if that works... I can always restore my apps with Titanium Backup, so it's not a real big problem anyways.
UPDATE: So after a factory reset and a total reflash, Play Store 3.5.15 still doesn't work . It asked for permission when I opened the app for the first time and then it worked for a short time. Afterwards it asked again for the same permission and I accepted again and now I have the same problem as before. I'm clueless right now, any idea guys?
weird.. if you did a factory reset and reflashed it, the issue must be fixed. maybe its a rom issue or kernel?

Unlikely, I mean, you've got the same combination as me, like many others and it works fine on your phone and on the phones of everyone else. I really don't know what the problem is . Anyway I managed to fix this problem (sort of) so I got a decent market again .

Not completely, I reverted back to market 3.4.4 and made sure it wouldn't update itself anymore. So, I didn't solve the problem with Market 3.5.15, but I got at least a functional Market again.

I had this same issue. The quickest way to fix Market 3.5.15 is to:
1. Erase data for google play and Google Services Provider
2. Enter Recovery --> Advanced --> Fix Permissions
So now I can download apps on 3.5.15 without downgrading
