I am experiencing some very unusual problems with my froyo installs, specifically when installing/restoring apps.
First the basic info:
Nexus One
Froyo 2.2 FRF 72 stock with root no radio update
Upgraded from FRF 50 stock with root no radio update
I used Titanium Backup (TB) to backup all my apps, I have done this countless times before. Everything was fine on FRF50, but I wanted to try out a modified ROM. Yes I nandroided, but the restore failed THANKS CLOCKWORKMOD!! I should have stuck with amonRA. Anway, I had no choice but to flash again. I tried a few from the forums with all the same results so I gave up on them and just did stock with root but still having the issues.
When I restored the apps with TB, i get about 90% of my apps restored then I get an error saying that my space is full (even tho I enabled the stock apps2sd method) OR TB will suddenly just stop restoring apps, again stuck around 94%. I am thinking, its okay ill just reboot and continue. Well I rebooted and all the apps were gone even tho they are obviously on the sdcard, i checked.
So typical solution:
force stop the launcher. that didnt work. i tried other launchers, nothing worked. i had no choice but to wipe and try again. trust me, i did this way to many times, i dont even wanna think about it.
So i thought there was an issue with TB, yes i clicked "problems", upgraded busybox, trust me, I did all the basic stuff, Im beyond that.
Then I tried installing every app manually, thats over 150+ apps, ya..it was annoying as hell. Then suddenly, I would get stuck at the installing screen....no app would install, not from TB, not from market, not from the sdcard...nothing.
So typical solution:
delete .android_secure
That only works temporarily, then its back to the issue.
The point is, it keeps happening. Like today, I install a fresh ROM, yes I wiped, I even partitioned the sdcard and within installing literally ONE app, I get this problem, no app installs after that. So I went and deleted .android_secure and everything seems to be working okay. But this will happen again, if I try to restore with TB now, the same thing will happen again. I have tried every combination of installing apps, using TB, wiping....nothing seems to work.
On top of all that, my apps wont restore automatically from the market when installing a fresh ROM. So my question, what do I do about this and has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
I called it. It happened again. Fresh install, installed one app, no apps installed after that, deleted .android_secure, everything was back to normal, started restoring apps with TB, stuck at 93%, nothing will install now...any suggestions? should i delete .android_secure AGAIN!?

Decided to install cyanogenmod 6.0.0 final today (didn't flash any of the nightlies/RCs), and now I'm facing the same problem. My titanium backup restores all appeared to be going well, and in fact I can even run the apps that were successfully restored without problems. But at some point in the restore it'll hang, and I won't be able to install anything from then on. In fact, when I tried rebooting the phone, it wouldn't even detect any of the apps installed on the sdcard (although, when I checked /sdcard/.android_secure, all the .asec files were present).
OP/anyone else, did you ever manage to fix this problem?
I've got the exact same problem
Tried 3 different roms after wiping everything and I can't seem to install any app.
TB does not install app and neither does market and this is starting to get very annoying.
Same problem but with specific apps:
Wi-Fi File Explorer Pro (most important as I paid for it)
Angry Birds
Google Sky Map
My other 100+ apps restored from Ti Backup or installed from the Market.
I have logs that say "unable to open secure container" but who do I send them to?
Enom from TheOfficialRom has stated that restoring from Titanium is really not very good practice. I had the exact same thing happen to me when i first installed his rom; enabled apps2sd, restored all apps and data with titanium backup.
Here's the catch, and might help you. I then did a wipe (don't wipe ext too!) and when it came up all of my apps were installed and worked fine. I even went through and manually restored all of the data from the apps and they continued to work fine! Just don't restore "System" data, set that stuff back up by hand. So in this case, the apps are "already installed" and for me worked fine, even after restoring their data (not the apps themselves, as they were already on the ext partition). This fixed my primary issue ("all" apps failed to install or upgrade).
However, I continued to have periodic problems with certain apps as I had also enabled dalvik-cache to /cache which works if you don't have a bazillion apps installed, but I have >115 and my /cache was always 100% full and caused app installs to fail. Some were fine, some were not. Don't know why, but I know (after wiping again) and NOT moving dalvik-cache, zero problems. I even repeated the process back and forth a few times and dalvik-cache to /cache = fail for me. You can check in his Spare Parts if you're using his ROM, or just df in a terminal if you've moved the dalvik to make sure where it's at isn't full.
Hopefully this helps some.
I had this problem earlier on after trying a custom rom moving from FRF91 when it first came out. I had to go through the market to get the apps, but titanium would restore the data after i installed the app... i think.
The Clockword nandroid kept failing on me too. BUT, i found if i tried them a second or third time, they would actually work.
I'm having a serious problem. I'm using enom 2.92 froyo. But no matter what rom I flash now I can't install apps. When using the market, apps download but hang when installing and never finish. Same thing when using latest titanium backup. All the apps installed on my sd card wont showup anymore either. I use launcher pro and used to be able to force stop and get my apps to show. Now all apps in the manager in settings constantly say computing. I've tried cm6, stock, enom, etc. No luck. I always do full whipes too. If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks.
Wrong section. This should be moved to apps.

Go here and read the last 5 posts. One of those will fix the problem.
It could be related to the froyo a2sd.
Try deleting the app dir on your sd card. It is called something like .private-app or .data-private etc..
I have my new Nook Color rooted to 3.0. I was able to use the Market perfectly fine for quite some time, downloading over a dozen apps. However, now it's giving me all sorts of problems. The last few downloads failed. If I try to redownload them, I never get a notification. It's like it forgot about me. Then it said I needed to resign into Gmail, and even with a valid password, it said it was wrong. Magically, without entering a password, it started working again. However, I still can't download everything.
I've tried to clear the cache on the Android Market app, and restart, but nothing. Now Google Talk won't authenticate. Ughh..
Please help!
Protip. Honeycomb isn't ready to be used for nook.
I know it's not fully operational, but I also know there's a way to get the Market working again. That's all I need to know.
No idea if this works, you could try downloading and installing the Cyanogenmod GApps package (can't post a link...it's easy to find on the official CM website).
Be prepared to bork your installation and have to reinstall HC completely, though. In general, you shouldn't expect much luck from a hacked SDK build that is soon to be obsolete.
Honestly, after doing some research, I think it's Google Talk. Other Android users have the same issue. If Talk won't connect (authentication failed), then Market won't work. I haven't found a solution though to the problem.. still looking.
Ok, I'm done with 3.0, this is frustrating. What's the best way to go from 3.0 to an earlier version of Android like 2.2 or 2.3?
I am running nookie froyo 0.6.8 from SD card. My Market also wasn't working and my google talk aslo failed to authenticate. I clear the cache for the market and I cleared the google services framework data and it worked again. I also found that have my install from unknown sources enable wouldn't allow my market to load at all. It gave me errors. If anybody knows how to fix that problem please help me. Good luck!

Seriously, you're my hero. It worked after I did that and rebooted!
One problem though, while it's at least trying to download and install now (and works on programs like Pandora), I can't get Angry Birds or AB Seasons to install. It always says it was unsuccessful. Any thoughts?

Take the SD card out, with it in, the market tries to download games to the SD card. It won't work downloading to it.

I actually figured it out before I saw your post. Was coming here to post my discovery. Thanks though, again. I really appreciate your help. Loving my new Nook again.

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >
Then make sure you look under the all tab. The downloaded tab is the default for me.
Also I don't take credit for this fix. Somebody else posted it and I was just saying that I had the same problem and that this solution worked for me as well and I wanted to add that having Unknown sources checked cause the market to not working for me not sure if others are having that problem.

Can the system be set to download games to internal memory instead of the SD card, so that we won't have to pull the SD card out? Is that possible just wondering?
Um, how can you get away with pulling the SD card if you're running the OS off the card?
Market is broken for me...
Can anyone help me out with this Market not working?
I'm running stock NOOKcolor ROM v1.1 with AutoNooter (for root) and ADW launcher. Everything was working great for me and when I tried to install the latest Market the Market stopped working. It loads, and I accepted the terms and conditions, then it drops back to the home screen (launcher desktop). And each new time I load it, it drops back to the home screen.
I tried clearing cache, and data for the Market. I tried unchecking the USB debug, and Allow Non-Market Installs. I tried removing the microSD card. I tried reverting back to the old Market. I tried looking for the Google Services Framework, but could not find it under all apps. Nothing is working for me.
Any suggestions or tips? Anyone else having this problem?
I did an extensive search on this website and on Google for this subject, and never found a precise response. I eventually figured it out patching together experiences from multiple sources, but I'm sure I'm not the only one, so here is what happened and how I fixed it.
I have a Nook Color that came with the 1.2 software version. I installed CM7 following the guide on this site. I used a variety of nightly releases including 177. I reset and re-installed several versions always with the same result. CM7 would install, but with these problems:
1. On startup, I would receive the error: "android.process.media stopped unexpectedly" and "process.com.android.setting stopped unexpectedly".
2. The market would allow me to download, but the download status would just hang at 0%.
3. The Kindle app would not allow downloading with the error of "your device is not compatible"
4. CM settings cause the same errors as in point #1
The fix is simple. Clear the data and cache in various applications in settings - applications - manage applications and select all applications with the buttons at the top of the screen. You want to clear the info in certificate installer, download manager, google services framework, market, market apps installer, package installer.
I don't know why this works, but it does. I don't know if one needs to clear all of the apps that I did, but it is what worked.
Lastly, the CM settings still crash. I haven't found an answer to that yet.
Good luck!

I had the first issue's problem. I used ROM Manager to reinstall CM7, wiping all caches. It fixed the problem. Obviously it's not ideal, so thanks for posting. I'll keep it in mind if I run into the problem.
I also had force closes on Facebook and Words With Friends. I thought they were related to the original issues, but the force closes came back. Any ideas?
EW2X4 you don't say but if you are running of SD card then many cards give force closes.
Assume you aren't as you talk about using ROM manager but others with Force closes reading might be on SD so will post this
If SD card read some of the threads which recommend Sandisk class 4 or lower cards

Use CWR version 3.2.0.1 when creating the bootable image on the card. Then wipe system, data, cache and Davlik before installing. You miss one of them and you are going to get FCs. It can be found here: http://www.multiupload.com/0DLC9QATOW

I am indeed running on internal memory.
I am having two weird issues on my Bionic with SlimKat.
I am coming from an old ICARIUS rom, and I have not switched ROMs in about a year (busy / laziness).
I am using rom slot 1 on safestrap.
1. Bluetooth constantly crashes.
2. Cannot install some apps from the Play store. For example, mybackup pro. I get an error that says "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD Card"
If anyone can help point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
-k3mist
Interestingly, I got it all working. Even though I had done this twice already.
I just cleared caches, wiped data, system, reinstalled. 3rd times a charm?
seeya again in 4 years
Hehe, I was using ICARUS before I moved to CM10.1. I tried SlimKat for 2 months, but now I found myself happier with CM11.
About your Bluetooth, I think you're running out of memory. Bluetooth share takes up like 40-50 MB of memory, and if Android decides to start killing off some apps that's one of the apps they can kill. Weird, I know.
Don't know about your Playstore problem. I personally use Xposed module to override the Kitkat SD read/write changes (forgot the exact name) but that's just me.
