[Q] Uninstall-Install problem - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

Hello All,
I'm trying to install Igo - since my Milestone's 60 days Motonav trial expired.
Unfortunately I did not uninstall the Motonav properly, just deleted the SD card folders, the apk from the phone itself and the shortcut from the main menu.
I don't know if it's the root of the problem or not, but cannot install the Igo just receive error message: "application not installed".
I'm trying to install it with Rootexplorer, the sdcard is in R/W mode.
Probably there are some files in the system what I have to delete manually due to the n00b Motonav deletion process I've made?
Or do you have any other idea? (I've ckecked this forum but did not find related topic. If there are any, sorry just drop me the link...)
Many thanks for your help in advance.

installation of *.cab was unsuccessful

Hi all,
I am facing a weired problem,
I have installed an application, it was installed very well, with no problems at all.
But when i flashed it with a new ROM, i have tried to installed that application again, i keep getting:
Installation of 1 ACERT_ARB.CAB was unsuccessful
shortly the whole package doesn't get installed at all.
I went through the program files, deleted any old stuff, tried to reinstall, but the same problem
i have put the old ROM back, but still no luck
am i missing something here? any advises please?
regards
i get that issue every now and again. I usually have to either use a different file explorer or do a soft reset and try again.
Thanks for sharing
i have found the solution finally
the current ROM doesn't support the CAB file i was installing,
i needed to do the following:
remove the SD card
reinstall the compatible ROM which support the CAB file
i hoop it it heps other they may had the same issue
reinstalled rom...
still problem continue
has a other solution?
I recently had this problem when trying to install a couple of CAB files. It appears that something was running that the CAB was trying to update. So, for example, I was trying to install "Inbox Extender" and POutlook (and/or tmail?) was running. Once I killed that, I could install the CAB.
CAB won't install suggestion
I saw this with several cabs that I ran using Resco Explorer and I had Kaiser Tweaks set to not delete the cab after install. The solution was to deselect that setting in Kaiser Tweak, ket a fresh (never run) copy of the cab file and run it using the generic file explorer. It has worked every time since then.
Acert_Arb.cab is no more working

Can't install Handcent SMS

Recently, I started getting a "not enough storage available" error when trying to install Handcent either from the Market or using a Titanium restore. I know it's not a space issue because all other apps that I have tried install with no problem. I am using A2SD and have about 400 MB free. I have duplicated this error on multiple ROM's so it must be something on my phone. I searched and found something about permissions on *.so files in the lib directory but I don't know enough to fix it myself. Here is a pastebin of the error:
http://pastebin.com/33gKG5Db
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I know this is a stupid question but ur not trying to install when card is mounted to computer r u. Also what app2sd r u using, is ur ext partition full, I've also noticed this when I thought I had room then went in and deleated a few old nandroids and then it worked great.
I had the same problem.
Go to Applications
Somewhere in there, there is a handcent registry that is different than the normal handcent program.
Scan through everything, you will find something like com.sms.handcent. Uninstall that as well as the program and you should be able to install.

I see it under applications but every time I click on it I get a f/c on settings (I get the f/c if I click on anything under applications that begins with com.). Any way to do it through ADB? I checked system/sd/app and didn't see the com.handcent.nextsms to remove?

yep... I have had this problem with a couple of apps. The real fun is sometimes that directory is named something completely different then the application name. Then you have to guess at what it is and then check /data/apps to verify it has a missing apk.

[Q] installation error unknown reason-18

HELP!!! every time i try to download and install an app from the market it says "installation error
unknown reason-18"
what could be causing this, and how do i fix it?
I get the same thing. Cyanogenmod 6 RC3. Apps installing to external.
I've tried:
1) rebooting
2) deleting the market data
3) wiping cache
4) wiping dalvik cache
5) nandroid/wipe/restore
6) BART/wipe/restore
7) wipe/reflash
I've heard that installing to internal, and then moving them to external will work. I've also heard that installing one app by adb will fix it to make market work.
And finally I've heard that the following works.
Code:
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec
I'll be trying a few of these out, starting with the last.
*****::::::EDIT::::::*****
The above code should read:
Code:
su
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec
Note that in normal text, that's "rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec". For some reason, the CODE tag makes a lower case l look like the number 1.
l
Code:
l
1
Code:
1
I should also mention that I also tried to fix permissions.
The code shown above didn't work. Terminal said that the file didn't exist.
I set it to install apps to "automatic" and that has been working since my first reply.
On the Terminal, enter first "su" and only after that run the command.
hello, i have a Desire NON-rooted and have changed too automatic install on external trough ADB, but i have this problem now suddenly i got unknown reason 18 and nothing will install on external !!! is there any solution i have maybe 20 apps on the external. thanks

I had the exact same error message when trying to install the Google Maps update today and it turned out that it was because Google Maps was on the SD Card. I had moved maps to SD yesterday, then when I tried to update it, I got the error you got. I had to
1) switch the install location back to internal
2) move maps back to internal
3) clear market cache
After those 3 steps, I was able to install the update without issue. I guess some apps can not be updated if the are either on the card or maybe if they have been moved to the card.
I have the same error. None of the tips here have worked for me. It seems to be only Angry Birds that wont install...
**EDIT** Just found this -
it's smdl2tmp1.asec (with the letter L before the 2) not smd12tmp1.asec (with the number 1)
Oops!

Solved deleting .adroid_secure folder. It's hidden in SD root.
Tried all the above hints, still not working
Hello all
Market is still not installing anything on my N1.
There is no such file in /mnt/secure/asec, and yes, got a rooted phone.
The only file there that starts with s is smpxg.jewelxmas_lite-1.asec.
Any other hints ?
I experienced this on Froyo (2.2), Froyo 2.2.1, CyanogenMod 6.0 and now also on nightly CM 6.1.
Cheers.
UPDATE: Never mind, was able to unmount
tmpfs on /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure type tmpfs (ro,relatime,size=0k,mode=000)
Then rm'd it safely. After a reboot I am back in the game.
is this problem solvable for people who dont know what to do with the code or what a terminal is?
removing smdl2tmp1.asec did it for me on my evo. Thanks guys.

YES, it worked for me! Thanks.
Ok, so I'm having problems with installing Angry Birds (installation error - 18) and I have read the posts, but I honestly have no idea what to do. Someone said that this code works, but where am I suppose to type it in or alter it?
I'm with thenapster3, not got a clue! Running MUIU Build 5 and can't find anything mentioned or delete the secure folder. Soz Any help would be gratefully received.
Solved on hd2

found this on other forum... thought i would share with you
(1) unmount your SD CARD
(2) download and install the app
(3) mount back your SD CARD
worked for me...
try this
I got an error saying 'unknown error 18', I Google'd the error and found a possible fix, which was un-mounting the SD card. I tried, and was able to install the apps ! I then have to mount the SD card and move the apps across! It works, but its a real pain to have to keep un-mounting and mounting the sd card!
giv it a shot

[Q] "Installation error - insufficient storage available" when installing skype

[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

[Q] Write and Go (Samsung default app) for download

Hi, I´m using Darky´s Gingerbread ROM and there isn´t any "Write and Go" application.
I want this application back because it´s really easy to post something to the facebook wall. Could you please someone copy this application from the system and put it here for download for me?
EDIT: Please I need it :/ the installer apk from /system/app would be just fine

I have got it from XWJS5 in Romkitchen.
Thanks, but it seems it isn´t working for me. I get "Application not installed." error message :/
I think you have to copy it directly in /system/app/ with rootexplorer (after mounting system R/W)

I tried it, it doesn´t copy anything.
Try to download it from Romkitchen as an update.zip then flash it with CWM!
quick question Gerusz,
when i goto romkitchen, click on galaxy s, then on generate, then on the apps tab, then select only flash and go, it tells me that if i dont select a launcher my phone wil be unusable. How to i create an update.zip that ISN"T trying to replace my entire ROM?
thanks in advance!
Hey I have the same problem, using darky rom and i couldnt find this app anymore. Any solution yet? been searching for quite some time
I know this is an old thread, but just thought that you guys on darky ROM should know that all of these apps are available and installed on your phone on your SD card. They will be in a folder for darkyROM and they will be saved in system/apps within that folder. You use and always should use the darkyROM tool available from the market and it will add or remove any system app you want and it backs them up (so if you remove something you shouldn't you can re-install again) and also it does the same for user apps too. It has now been suceeded by the darkyOTA application though which provides Over The Air updates for ROM related stuff. All support and info is located on the darkyROM forums to check out
