Yes. Uninstall and try again.
I am also getting an install error.
I have tried to uninstall the existing 1.1.1 version using the Expsetup but still won't install.
I'm thinking that clearing all associated data for facebook would help but don't know the directories etc that I would need to delete.

That did it, thanks!

Where to get Facebook 1.1.2?
I unistalled V1.1.1 but still cant install new version 1.1.2!!! went to aplication manager and found a file that says com.facebook.katana but doesnt let me do anything with it.
Any ideas?
If you're having problems uninstalling, that's because you used an update.zip and it is installed in the system/app folder. You have to use terminal or adb to mount the folder as rw to remove it.
My question, though, is it better than the one from droid? Cuz if not then I don't want to waste my time updating...

Anyone mind upping the APK? Removed all traces of FB from my phone and packages.xml and it still refuses to install.

Most importantly would be to ask how do you get your system back to normal so you can install updates later.
I know at one time I messed with my prop file to install the Nav at one time. I wonder if that could be a problem. I removed the Facebook app, but it told me it wasn't compatable so I wonder if it that prop file is affecting anything.
Put the original build.trout.prop file back in the /system folder. Deleted the old Sholes/droid version via the market and it installed without a hitch.
It doesn't seem to like a modified prop file.
To me personally it looks just like the droids version except the white bar at the top is fixed.
Heres the line you want to change back.
ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.6/DRC83/14721:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
or upload this buid.trout.prop file to your /system folder. Just drop the .txt from the end.
EDIT.
After fighting a bit with the prop file I ended up just reflashing the rom that I originally installed which over wrote the modded prop file. Now I'm back to the orginal file and then I used the APK provided here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5147596&postcount=16
After that I uninstalled it via the market and reinstalled it now I'm back to where I should be.
So you could use that stock prop file, but after 5 or so tries it was sorta mixed results.
Anyone got the apk? I tried the site posted above but nothing happened.

Greatly appreciated.. This will help out many.
what commands in terminal to mount the folder as rw to remove it?
i used a script to switch my build.trout, but i used the script to switch back to the old one and i can't get FB to install. i never did anything to mod these for the nav and FB a few weeks ago.

Just download Titanium Backup form Android Market and you can delete apks easily. HTH.

Maybe I'll try that. Do you have to actually do a backup/restore process before you can remove them? Or can you just remove them from the app itself?

You could do that but then ur left with a /data/data folder for ur app and its name under packages.xml.
The other thing that kills me is that a lot of these apps keep popping up for now reason. I run "Advanced Task Killer" on a frequent basis, but I'll find apps like "Slacker" sitting there, taking up memory.
I know a lot of these apps are set to run on startup.... but why are they just starting up at random times?
I feel like I have so little control over this phone... it actually scares me. I knew everything my WinMo phone was doing at all times.

Can these items just be deleted?
I went to Samsung Firmwares and got the UGJG8 firmware and flashed that using Odin and 512.pit. You will get a 100% bone stock i9000m with no bloatware.
Just remember to write down your current APN settings as you will have to readd them.

They could but that would be longer, since ud have to go through packages.xml to look for ur app. In simple terms :
Its like uninstall a windows software. Your deleting its c:\program files directory whereas im going to "uninstall software" and following procedure.

How in the heck do you find that? I've been all over the Samsung site and I can only find are Windows drivers.

Nevermind, I found it on another site. I think this is what you meant, right?:

Got it.
Now, is that a script I need to write for each app? I haven't even gone so far as to explore the file system, let alone write scripts. Is there a good (recommended) app for putting scripts together? ...or are you just using a notepad type editor in Windows, then copying them over via SD card?

Sure u can write a quick .bat script that does this or manually enter them in command-prompt up 2 u. Btw, what exactly is ur issue with the bloat-software ? is it the space its taking up ? or being shown in app drawer ? Cuz if ur using launcher-pro u can hide those apps from the drawer. Honestly they don't take up tht much space.

Well, the biggest thing is that they're actually running without me opening them (eg: Slacker). That is really starting to piss me off. Secondly, they are very clutter-some. I don't have Launcher Pro, though I've heard good things about it. Is this something I get from the Marketplace? It runs instead of the Samsung interface, right?
**EDIT**
Just found "LauncherPro" on the Market. Looks good, but many are complaining the latest version is laggy/buggy and has obnoxious ad placement.
Does anyone have the next most recent version?

Nope its independent of proprietary frameworks, i.e it runs on stock.

So would this be ok to install right now, or wait until I possibly flash the bone-stock firmware (which ironically would eliminate the included apps)?

[Q] "Installation error - insufficient storage available" when installing skype
Hello Everybody,
this is my first post on this forum, i decided to start this thread cause i've been struggling with this problem for something like one month now, i really want to fix it, and this looks like the best place where to ask for help.
I'm having problems installing the Skype application on a Samsung Galaxy S, in Italy.
Initially i installed it from the market, the installation went fine, but i couldn't log in cause i was still running Android 2.1
After the upgrade to 2.2, Skype worked only the first time i tried to use it, then it started giving me a weird bug; basically each time i tried to make a call, it would say "already 2 ongoing calls".
I uninstalled it, and now each time i try to install it again i get the same error message "Installation error - insufficient storage available".
I have 5.22GB available on the internal SD card, and 573MB on the internal phone storage, and i have no external SD card.
I tried to contact the Skype support, sent them something like 10 different emails, but each time they came up with stupid answers and in the end they couldn't find a solution, so they said
"Please note that the message you are receiving is an operating system message and is not a Skype message.
We suggest that you contact Samsung to find out under which circumstances the operating system returns this message and what can be done to make an installation possible."
I tried to contact Samsung, but they didn't even reply.
I started a thread in the Android Market Help Forum and one guy suggested to use adb to delete the skype folder
So i rooted my device with z4root and also did the OneClickLagFix V2.2+
I managed to install the Android SDK and get the adb up and running, but when i try to delete the skype folder, this is what i get
# rm -R /data/com.skype.raider
rm -R /data/com.skype.raider
rm failed for /data/com.skype.raider, No such file or directory
#
basically there is no such folder..
at this point i really don't know what to do, and i hope that someone here is able and willing to help me.
I think i gave all the possibly needed information to help you fixing my problem, but if you need more please just ask.
Thanks a lot and by the way big up to this forum, so many useful informations in here!
Cheers
Pedro
update
i installed Titanium Backup
if i go to the Backup/Restore tab and scroll to the very botton, the last one is com.skype.raider, but it has a line on it and i'm not sure what that means (see attached image)
if i click it, all the options are grayed out, so i can't uninstall it..
if i click and hold, a different menu comes up, where most of the options are grayed out as well, i can only do Assign Labels, Explore and View in Market.
If i click Explore, it says:
com.skype.raider
files/
shared.lck 0B
defetto/
main.db-journal 8.0KB
any idea what's going on? thanks in advance
Never mind, i made it!
I bought an application from the market called Root Explorer, i couldnt find a free one doing the same, basically giving full access to my folder structure.
Anyway, i was able to find the com.skype.raider folder and delete it..
after that, next install went fine!
the correct path was /data/data/com.skype.raider
so if you have the same problem, you can use abd and delete the folder and you don't need to buy the above mentioned app..
p.s. how do i set this thread as answered?
Had a similar problem! I couldn't downlaod anything from the market. Unmounting the sdcard has fixed the issue. Thx http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Thank you for sharing your solution. It helped me solve the "insufficient" problem
Hey guys, I downloaded some apk's and transferred them to my sd/NC.
I went into file manager located the apks and click to install and I get the following error "installation of download apks is not supported"
This may have something to do with permissions, but you also may want to give ADB a shot. I know it's a bit of a pain to set up, but someone in the dev. forums posted some simpler drivers. I always install with ADB and it works like a charm.
Check to make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked under Applications in Settings.
Can also try installing with a different file manager, I use Astro and that works.

Good point, you may need to uncheck and recheck it if it's automatically set to "checked" by default when flashing.
I keep a "new ROM setup" folder on my SD card containing DropBox, RootExplorer,Titanium Backup, adbWireless and Terminal Emulator APKs to make setting up a new system easy.
I download the apk, email it to myself, use the gmail app, open the file, tap install, done. Haven't had any issues with 24+ install. I got tired of ADB to push it.
can a file manager be use to install .apk's that are missing from the market place? currently im missing google maps. ive heard about market manager to trick the market and get the full listings, however should this not work, like some have stated, can i download the .apk from my computer and install it using a file manager?
also for the life of me i do not understand nor can i get adb to work. i know its probably real simple. but im done messing with it, so that option is out.
Same Problem
I've got the same problem. "Install blocked. Installation of download apks not supported."
I've tried all the above suggestions: gmailed it, used various filemanagers, Dropboxed it and no success. I could not figure out how to change permissions....how does one doe that?
I haven't tried ADB - waiting to try everything else before I did that.
Please help me, i have a Galaxy S gt-i9000 with froyo (rooted) and i downloaded some custom dialer/ contacts and sms packs (it looked nice so i thought .. why not give it a try) but one of the apps said that its recommended to remove the default app so that it wont cause any conflicts. i wanted to uninstall the default dialer app but i ended up uninstalling the "Phone" app .. and now i cant use the contacts widget.. touching a contact wont pop up the menu with options (call, video call, send sms ..)
i wanted to check if i can try anything in Kies (restore or something) but my phone doesn't seem to be recognized anymore in Kies :|
Is there anything to be done?
any advice is deeply appreciated.
i have attached phone apk for you to install. you just need to unzip it and place it under /system /app and then reboot. make sure system is mounted RW
if that fails, reflash the ROM.
thank you for the prompt answer.
i downloaded the zip but i cant get to the root folder .. i mean .. i can only connect the phone in storage mode ...
should i try using a card?

You need either Root Explorer (paid) or Astro File Manager (free) from the market. Storage mode is fine, just copy the unzipped apk from your pc to the internal storage, then use one of the apps above to move it to /system /app.
Make sure you mount /system /app as rw or it wont paste.
ok so i copied it in /app ... asked me if i want to replace .. canceled and tried to run the phone apk that i already had ... it said App not installed.. so i copied and replaced the one from you .. and tried to run .. still no result :|
the phone apk is there ... but i think the dialer app is the one actually missing .. could you please add the dialer app as well?

you got a DialerTabActivity apk?
i copied all and overwrite them but still cant install the apps back. i would of wanted to keep my apps and stuff ... is there any other way to reinstall the default apps that i stupidly uninstalled? (Contacts, Dialer, Phone) dont know if it helps .. but i used the "Uninstaller for Root" app

Ok, I could be wrong here, but I'm fairly sure I read somewhere on here that you need to MOVE system apps, not COPY them, so go to system/app/ again and delete the ones you copied, then Move them from root of your sd to system/apps again. Then maybe try a reboot. I'm not sure this will solve it, but it's probably worth a try...
well ... no wireless here ... no wap on my sim ... cant get astro at the moment seems that everything i thought i was doing was bogus .. the file manager was saying that it was pasting/ copying/ deleting but it wasn't ...

Sorry, I assumed you were using Astro, or Root Explorer.
Astro is free on the market so it should be ok for me to post it here (if not, someone tell me ok?).
Gimme a few minutes to upload it...
ok .. i'll wait as much as it takes .. just to get this bastard working
Hey, happy to help, if I'm actually helping lol. That's what the sites for
Ok I've attached Astro, but I'd recommend buying Root Explorer, it's what I use. Also I've included a pic of the permissions needed by each of the files I put in the rar. I don't know about Astro, but in Root Explorer you just long press the app to get to permissions menu. You may not even need them, I'm not sure. Will check back tommorrow to see if you're making any progress.
ok thanks once again .. and good night
well astro cant edit permissions .. or at least not the free version .. or maybe they changed it in newer versions (in case there are any)

Damn, that's a pity, that was the latest version from the market, think you should buy Root Explorer if you can.
Permissions aside, did you successfully move the files with Astro?
If you did, dont try to install them, try a reboot first, I think that's what I did when I put the email.apk from SGSII into my SGS.
Sorry I didn't solve your problem tonight, will try again tommorrow if you want
i couldnt even move them cause the app dir is read only ... same for the files ... so unless i can get an app that can edit permissions i cant try moving/rebooting .
