Just recently I can no longer install apps. From the market or anywhere else, I always get "INSTALLATION unsuccessful". My phone storage has 50mb and plenty of space on my sd card. Also I set the install location to where it installs to sd automatically. What's the deal?
Anyone have this problem?
im also wondering this. often i get this. the app wont install at all or i have to wait a while to try and install it again n it works. wonder whats causing this

I've been having this issue too, and not only in Froyo.
U moved the dalvik cache to cache partition and cache partition is now full
I find a solution! If you were having problems similar to me, this should work. Anyways, goto terminal, su and type:
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec

I rebooted and everything is back to normal and I can install apps again.
Thanks to this thread http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...all-around-failures/page__p__24608#entry24608
I was going to say do a logcat when trying to install the app to see what its moaning about!

I'm having this same issue. I formatted my system, data, and cache. Now nothing will install. The suggestions above haven't worked yet.
Has someone found a solution yet?
This is happening for me too...my market/play store keeps force closing and I can't install 90% of the things I try to install (even things that have been on my phone in the past). I feel like chucking my phone out the window I'm getting so frustrated.

It keeps force closing on me and I have Open Home 1.5.4. I cant even open it or run it arggg.
Bump? Can anyone please help?
Tried uninstall / reinstall?
If you can get to uninstall, do a safeboot (menu + power).
Thats the first thing I did, I uninstaled and reinstalled 5 times. Restarted the phone then tried installing again. and i did a safe boot too. Idk what else to do, it just wont work.
Have you tried emailing the developer?
I guess worse comes to worse, a wipe... but completely download a new open home, not a backup.
Is it maybe because im running aHome on my G1 already and they conflict with each other?
No, I have aHome on mine too.
If you have apps to SD, there could be something curropting it. If need be, format your ext2 partition and redo it.
Download Paragon Partition Manager Professional Trial.
All my other apps on my sd work fine and i can install new ones to my sd perfectly fine, its just Open Home thats causing the problem, its really strange
Would you happen to know what command i would have to run to delete the Openhome cache and data that has been left there since the last install? I had it once on my phone and it worked perfectly fine maybe taht data is curropt
Nah I don't know a command except maybe go to menu > applications > manage applications > Open Home
Damnnn I need to do it with the commands because i think that the folder it installs itself too still has files in it which are curropt
well the open home data is /data/data/com.betterandroid.openhome2
so rm -rf /data/data/com.betterandroid.openhome2 would get rid of this, you'd need to su first though
Thank youu
Hey all.
After installing CM-v4.0.2 and the Dark Dream Theme I was golden.
Then I wanted to try Jac xrom. So I ran recovery, wiped, and installed and loaded the rom.
Everything was ok. But I noticed my apps were still showing up even after wiping. I think this is because of the A2SD feature....some would FC but I just uninstalled those ones and reinstalled and they worked.
So I ran recovery, wiped, and then installed CM 4.0.4. My apps are still there.
So now you know my history, how can I "WIPE" my SD card from my phone, if that is even possible?
I know how with my partition manager, but that is such a hassle....
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cd /system/sd
rm -r *
try that
Is that from Virtual terminal, or from recovery terminal?
Since u have cyan's 1.4 recovery u can fix it without deleteing them and installing agian. Go into the recovery console and run fix_permissions reboot and you sould be good. Should look like this:
Fix_permissions (press enter)
Reboot(press enter)
After it reboots u shouldnt have anymore fc!

its better to do it in the recovery terminal, but you can do it in terminal but you will receive massive force closes till your wipe your phone and flash a new rom. but try to do what pistol4413 said first, if you want to keep you apps
So if I wanted to start from scratch(no apps on SD) I would:
-Run the code david1171 provided from terminal
-flash a fresh rom
-flash a fresh theme
and if I want to change roms after that I would:
-wipe
-flash new rom
-run fix_permissions
[EDIT]
Would it be smart to do a nandroid backup so if I dont like a rom I can just reflash the backup?

yep you got it or for changing roms you shouldn't have to wipe if going between cupcake builds but a wipe is needed if changing from a hero to cupcake or vice versa.
Wow you posted fast. Thanks. I couldnt even edit that fast.

yeah i nandroid before flashing any new rom that i think could mess up. and i just go between forums a lot. i have the dev, theme, and Q&A in my toolbar on firefox so i just click between them frequentlly lol
So that code you provided only deletes the contents of the partitions, and not the partitions themselves?
rakjer said:

that is correct. to delete the actual partition you would have to go into parted via the recovery console and type rm x(substitute with whichever partition needs to be removed)
Ok. So I formatted my SD. Re-flashed 4.0.4.(no theme this time)
Now all is ok EXCEPT, when I go to my downloads, everything I have purchased/downloaded says it is still installed ,and I try to uninstall and it gives an "uninstall unsucessful". After that it highlights the app and makes it "purchased" so I can DL it again.
I tried to run fix_permissions but this had no effect.
Anyway around this?
Has this already been addressed? If not should I post this in Cyanogens thread?
It is possible that it is your market database connected to your gmail account, I wouldn't worry about it if the programs are no longer there

that's correct don't worry about it. if they say free beside them that should mean that they are no longer on your phone but it is still linked to the market database
He is saying that he is trying to uninstall them though so it would have to be saying installed so it is sounding more like some type of remains possibley on there

now i am confused bc he says it says free... wouldn't it say installed if the phone still thought the app was installed
oh wait i went back and reread what he said a few times, and from what i understand it could be that the phone registers the apps being on it but when he tries to uninstall it the phone can't find the app, then it says uninstall unsuccessful and gives the option to reinstall it. maybe thats what it is
That is exactly what is going on, it's nothing to worry about though

That is what is happening guys. Thanks for the insight.
All my purchased apps say installed, even though they are not installed.
When I select one from the "my downloads" it gives the option to run or uninstall.
-If I choose run, it says app not found
-If I choose uninstall, it says uninstall unsuccessful.
After all that, the app goes back to "purchased" status do I can DL again.
Same goes for the free apps.
This is quite bothersome.
Now I am just in need of a fix
Does any one have a fix or any suggestions to fix?

try going to settings- applications- manage applications- market- clear cache.
I recently switched from JF 1.51 ADP to the rooted HTC 1.6 ADP ROM, and I've been having an issue getting Hello IM back. Yes, I bought and paid for the $10 app ages and ages ago. When I try to download it since switching roms, it says Starting Download for a few seconds and then says Download Unsuccessful.
I emailed their support but they say they have no idea why. I need this app, it's the only AIM app I don't hate. That, and I paid 10 bucks for it.
did you do full wipe before you switched roms? going from cupcake to donut is a big switch and requires full wipe, might even format sdcard to be safe. maybe something is conflicting in the markets, cupcake market vs. new donut market.
you can also try going into settings > applications > management apps > and find the market app and/or vending app and clear all cache and data. then try again.

Yes, I did a wipe, I didn't touch my SD card though. Do you really think it'd be necessary to format the SD card?
you shouldnt need to, wiping should be enough. i'm not sure. maybe try the other method i said, go and clear all the data caches for market/vending apps. sometimes that does work. clear it then reboot. maybe even clear out your dalvik-cache too.
adb remount
adb shell
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache/*
reboot
not sure if any of this will help but worth a try. i usually do that whenever i upgrade roms or switch roms. sometimes when i get force closes, clearing the app caches helps.

Wiping the app cache didn't help. I don't really know how to do that dalvik cache bit either, I'm not a very advanced user when it comes to linux-based systems.
doing the dalvik cache probably wont help since doing a wipe is almost the same thing. not sure what else but you can do some testing. go back to a cupcake rom, using cyanogen's rom, see if the market works for you. or try another 1.6 rom, there are a few in the dream forum like akirah's. maybe the 1.6 you flashed had bugs.

I'm formatting my SD card and switching to the rooted T-Mobile Donut now.
Yeah -- soon as I rebooted after installing the new rom, Hello IM began downloading. Thanks for the assistance.
glad it worked.
Hi,
i have a rooted G1 with CyanogenMod.

Noone????
Did you run from terminal:

#fix_permissions
Could help. Not sure.
did you try fix_permissions in console of recovery screen (or via adb in recovery screen)?

I have Recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2 and i can't write the " _ " in the console with "alt" and "r".
Update and clearing dalvik-cache also didn't help...
Slowly i become desperate with this problem.
It came when I deleted Ndrive, because i wanted to update to newest version...
Oh, i also can't open the setting option "Data synchronization"...
Last time i have deleted some apps in system/apps with root explorer because i wanted to delete amazon mp3 etc.
Have i delete a important app???
How do i fix it without a complete wipe???
Noone idea what i can do???
Update/Reflash of CyanogenMod didn't help and i don't want to wipe all...

RA-Recovery has an option under "Other" called "fix uid mismatch", this is the command you want, same as fix_permissions in cm-recovery. if you cannot type an underscore in RA-recovery console, you should check that thread to see if this bug has been reported, if not you should please report it so it can be fixed. thank you. good luck, just run "fix uid mismatch" under "other" in recovery and let us know if that fixes it...

Can you Log in to Gtalk and Gmail or do you get the same Issues?
I had this In all google apps when I had a google.partner.setup FC. Kept me logged out of my Google account with no way of getting back in (That I could see)
I had to Wipe, Install a previous (older) version, Sign in, and then Reinstall ROM WITHOUT a data wipe. Worked a treat as a work around

Oh yes, i also can't use GMail. When i open it, it come the failure that the process com.google.gapps was aborted...
GTalk have i deleted, such as amazon mp3 etc., with root explorer...
It's possible that i also have deleted an app named gapps... because i haven't gapps in /system/app...
Where do i get it back without wipe and flash???
Where do i get this app???
Ahhh, i reflashed the "devphone_userdebug-ota-14721" image and then the cyanogenmod...
Now market work fine! GMAil etc. also!
Thanks for helping

please edit your first post to you have fixed the problem, thanks

OK, thanks for tip borodin1.
Just want to add this in case anyone runs into same thing. I switched from CM to Super D, I used backup for root users and let it restore everything and had this problem. It may confuse your apps so I had to wipe and reload apps a different way. Market works fine now. Just wanted to throw that in.
Okay. So the weirdest, yet most annoyingness (them fake words, though) thing keeps happening. It's a pet peeve of mines to not have all my apps up to date. LoL!! So these 2 apps keep giving me the Insufficient Storage Available error.
It started off with PPSSPP ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ppsspp.ppsspp ).
I can't update to the newest update. I have the previous one. I once ran Google Edition and it updated fine. I meant to make a backup and just restore it to be up to date. Grr!!
Then all of a sudden it started happening to The Hardest Game Ever 2 ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.orangenose.games ).
It's weird. I want them to update. LoL!! Yes, I have enough space. I mean all my other apps update.
I've wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache. I read over something once about deleting system logs? When these apps finishing updating I try wiping Market Data. Or maybe just wiping the Market cache. I don't feel. Maybe data. It wouldn't hurt anything.
And it's so weird. On my GS2, restarting usually fixed it, or the problem usually fixed itself. Hmm...
Anyone else ever run into this? What did you do to solve it or did it fix itself? This has been an ongoing problem. I know sometime before the GE phones came out. LoL!!
And as I type this a 3rd app has been added. Into The Dead. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sidheinteractive.sif.DR ).
I can't have that. That's my game. LoL!!
To not make OP too long, here's some things I've done so far...
Deleted PlayStore Cache and Data...
Checked to see if ROM Toolbox Pro had Apps2SD set to Auto (and it as already on Auto)...
Wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache in recovery...
Deleted the app and tried to reinstall (Had to recover the app. LoL!!)...
Made SURE I had enough space. (I took a 6GB backup off my phone. I KNOW I have at least 6GB off the bat)
It's a slow growing list of apps. Hmm...
The only thing left is to backup apps and reinstall the ROM, since it works on other ROMs. *sigh* That'll take forever. =.S
SOVLED
I have it fixed. Here's what I did. You NEED root to fix since you have to go to a system folder. I think you can do this without root if you use ADB commands. I don't know remember if the computer version of ADB can navigate to these folders. Anyways...
"Follow this and let me know if it works for you.
First step is go into a file explorer with root access. Second in the root directory click on data, once in the data folder click on app-lib folder. Last step is scroll down to the data folder for the app you are trying to update or install and delete it. Thrn go into the market and try to install"
http://www.techfreestyle.com/io
1st comment on the page.
Steps:
1) You will need root. Go into a file explorer and go to the root folder. (I used Root Explorer)
2) Open the directory named "data".
3) Open the directory named "app-lib"
4) Find ALL the folders of the app you're trying to update or install and delete them.
5) Reinstall or update the app and it should work
I don't know if this will delete the data of the app. I've already deleted the data manually from those apps, so I don't know. Do with caution.
also its just solve the app that u can't install , so its not solving the problem permanently.

You're right. It happened again. But this time these apps had data. The method I mentioned didn't delete the app data. So that's good.
But this means it can happen again. Its a bit tedious deleting them files. I wonder what's causing it. Hmm... Maybe these lib files are suppose to delete on their own, but they don't. =./
