broken package installer

recently rooted and running cyanogen 4.1.999, prior to that I ran each release from 4.04 on. at least from 4.11 on, i've noticed something strange happening to my system that I can't quite figure out the cause. Off a fresh install, package installer works for loading .apks from the card. Somewhere along the way though, it stops working; I'll try to install an app and it will keep looping, bringing me back repeatedly to the install screen where it shows permissions and asks to install or not.
I've checked and unchecked 3rd party install permission, no change. I also tried fix permissions and that doesn't help, Only a wipe gets it working again until the next time it fails. Installing an app from the market works just fine, just can't install independently unless I sneak the apk into my system backup folder and restore via system app backupper, but that is a limited option since the program then becomes uninstallable. No other issues i've noticed on these roms, just the installer. Anyone experience similar or have some input on the matter?

you should try and repair ext filesystems in recovery if you have apps2sd. please report back if it works

nope
ext filesystem repair does not fix the installer loop

this only happens on cyan 4.1 and greater?
is it with a specific app? also did you flash the single flash rom or did you install by cyanogens official install method

cannot install app after flash froyo

hi all,i m newbi in nexus one, after i flash my n1 to froyo...i cannot insatall app anymore,can some body help me..pls...thank you very much!

It would be helpful if you could tell us:
1) Which ROM you used to get to 2.2
2) What happens when you try to install an app? Step by step, the actions you take and the result
3) Any error messages, codes, or other details that might help

I also could not install apps
I had the same problem. Here are the details:
1. ROM n1-Sh0t with kernal and new keyboard
2. Applications that would not install:
a) Nitrodesk Touchdown
b) MyTracks
I cannot give you much detail. I tried to install from copies on my sd card and just got a message that the app would not install. I also downloaded from the web using market and got the same message. The apps would download but would not install.

I was flash yesterday with this rom
1.Step_One_Froyo_Radio_Update
2.RoDrIgUeZsTyLe_FroYo_MCR_R16_MOD_V1-6_ROM

after this, I did well all with this rom (included install app to ext)
but..this morning I was reboot my N1,all app I install to ext cannot read anymore (lost icon at all )

then I cannot install any app again...(messanges show installing now.....long time but cannot complete)

I have the same problem, I can't install any apps. Not from the market and not apk-files from a file browser. It just keep saying 'Installing...'
I was on [email protected] MCR Mod Rom V1.7 and everything worked fine.
Then I tried out Kang-o-rama Froyo and that's when the problem started. I did a complete wipe before installing. I did a recovery, but when I was back on my nandroid recovery I could still not install any apps.
Went back to a stock 2.1 I had on my memory card and then I could install apps. But when going to 2.2 again I still can't install any apps.

I was install RoDrIgUeZsTyLe_FroYo_MCR_R16_MOD_V1-7__FIX rom
also try "n1-sh0t" rom
and then I try to install another app...but I cannot complete install at all
then I click “Dev Tools" (in laucher) \ Development setting
I got this message =
The application Dev Tools (process com.android development)
has stopped unexpedly.Please try again.
what's wrong with this...
can any one help me up..thank you
(sorry about my poor english)
then I go back to 2.1 rom,it run very well

So I deleted the '.android_secure' folder on my sdcard and did a recovery, now I can install apps again.

External means that you're installing your apps on the sdcard. (They are installed in the '.android_secure' folder) If any widgets or apps that need root would be installed on the sdcard you should move them to the phone. You can do that by go in to 'settings' >> 'applications' >> 'manage aplications' and find that app, press it, and in its settings you can move it.
Anyways to your problem: The reason why you can't see some apps are because you're running LauncherPro as your home app. You can just kill it and press home so it will re-launch and then you should see your apps again. You might have to do that from time to time after you have rebooted your phone.

Froyo FRF83B stock
I having an issue, recently updated to FRF83B and have the latest radio 4.06 however having issues when I try to install an app from the Market (first it will download and then it will come to the installing part) the phone freezes and then restarts.
So I can not install any apps on the market, and I am searching far and wide for a solution, does anyone know what I can do to fix this up!?

Root help.

Can someone tell me how to safe root my incs? I'm on the stock ota gb. I want to do the Android revolution hd but I'm new to rooting. I'm confused about custom kernals and stuff. How do I get sense 3.0? It said there's a thing for that to. I'd search but I know that all that comes up is Rom garbage. I don't want to brink my first Android phone! Thanks.

Oh and I'd like to be able to go stock if I need repairs.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

For Incredible S there is only one way to do this, and that's with the revolutionary tool, found here: http://revolutionary.io/
Download that tool and type in the necessary info you need to get the beta key
Make sure that during this, your phone is connected to your Windows PC via USB, and that USB debugging is checked ON (Settings > Applications > Development). Also make sure that Fast Boot is turned OFF(Settings > Power > Fastboot).
Once you have the beta key, open the zip file that downloaded and open the .exe file, it will bring up a command prompt (btw, you CANNOT have HTC Sync on your computer. Uninstall it if you do, or this won't work). In the command prompt, type in your beta key (case sensitive) and press enter. The revolutionary tool will now attempt to convert your phone to S-OFF. Congratulations, you have rooted your Incredible S! The developers that made that tool got your back, and the tool automatically creates a backup of your system as it is at that moment. That means from that from the moment your phone is rooted and on, if you ever mess anything up by flashing a ROM that isn't compatible with your OS or do anything to mess your phone up, you can reboot the backup file (saved on your SD card so it will never go anywhere) and you are back to normal the way you started, so no worries. You are free to experiment. You'll also notice you have a new recovery boot screen - that's ClockworkMod Recovery and it is installed automatically with the revolutionary tool. From now on whenever you want to flash a new ROM or make a backup without ROM Manager - you can "Boot to recovery" and it will bring you to that blue and black screen. From there you can create a backup, or mount your USB to your PC and move files onto the SD card (necessary for flashing new ROMs).
Now you need to ask yourself why you rooted your phone. If you're like me, you'll want a custom ROM and a new interface. Or maybe you just want a few apps that require root access. Either way - here are two logical next steps:
1) Download Titanium Backup. Shell out the money for the paid version if you can, it's worth it. If not, you can grab the free version. This app is perfect for backing up your apps AS THEY ARE. Do you have 3 stars on all Angry Birds levels and are afraid that switching to a new ROM will delete all your data? Fear no more. Download and install Titanium, go to the middle tab called "Backup/Restore", press Menu and go to "Batch" This automatically batches together your User Apps that you want to backup. BTW, after your phone is rooted, many apps will ask you permission to grant it root access. Always allow and always 'remember'.
Once your user apps are backed up, you can install a new ROM. Once your new ROM is installed, go back to the market and download Titanium again (yes, again, since after installing a new ROM, your apps are gone). Luckily, your apps are synced to your gmail account, so when you install Titanium back to your phone, it has all your information backed up, even though you technically uninstalled the app . Titanium is a miracle worker.
2) Download ROM Manager from the app store. Search the forums if you are interested in learning about ROMs. If you want to get straight into the action with a program that does the work for you. Go to ROM Manager > Download ROM, and download one of the choices it gives you, but DO NOT download Cyanogen Nightly unless you really know what you're doing. However, CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC-1 is a perfect choice, and you'll find it's actually one of the most used ROMs. Download that one, and you'll also be prompted to download Google Apps along with it, which you should definitely do. It will ask you to clear your cache and davlik cache, which you MUST DO. Remember you already have a backup, so no need to make another one at this point. Check to clear caches, then it will reboot you straight into the process. Congratulations, you've installed your first custom ROM
Once Cyanogen is installed, go to the market and download Titanium, and re-install your backed-up apps by going to the middle tab and pressing menu > Batch, and scrolling down to "Restore". Click the "Run" button nect to "Restore missing apps with Data"
Now if you paid for Titanium, your work is done. If you didn't, you have to install one-by-one (basically just press Install a bunch of times instead of it being automated - it's not as laborious as it seems). Now you are running a custom ROM with all your old apps and you are now free to explore the world of rooted apps and system management.
2a - you said you wanted Sense 3.0, so choose a ROM that comes with that (I think Android Revolution HD does? not sure but search in the Sensation S development forum and you'll see all the ROMs available and what they come with). ROM Manager won't do the work for you on this though - you have to download the files and put them on your SD card (the same way you do it with the Revolutionary tool), then flash the ROM and corresponding kernel one by one (the link for the corresponding kernel will usually be given to you along with the ROM so it's just a matter of downloading it). Once the new ROM is flashed you can create a backup of it with ROM Manager (or you can do it from the Clockwork boot screen)
By the way, this question gets asked many many times here, so definitely do a search - the information is all here.

I was in the same spot a week ago where i just got my incredible s and i was debating whether to flash a custom rom. The only thing that was holding me back was that i was scared i might mess up and end up with a bricked phone but everything went rather smoothly. The process is pretty simple just follow the instructions from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036581

Install CWM without market/recovery mode/file explorer?

So I installed AOKP today coming from darkys ROM 10.2. First of all I wiped/factory reset, wiped cache/dav cache then installed from recovery with the .zip.
Installed ROM all works fine but now I don't have a recovery console. This is a PITA as I can't flash Gapps, I was originally going to get the CWM app APK and install it but I have no file explorer to install the app off my SD card. Without recovery I can't backup stuff, install Gapps or put another ROM on there.
As you can see I'm a little stuck. Help?
EDIT: Nevermind, fixed. I had to get around the android.process.media FCs and then I just downloaded and installed the APK using the browser.

Cannot install google apps

I downloaded google apps for CM 10.1 from wiki.cyanogenmod.org , I have installed android 4.2.2 and when I put gapps.zip on phone storage CWM does not see this file, other zip's like cyanogenmod.zip is visible on files to install, i tried a lot of versions and I dont know what to do.
Maybe I should install CM rom with google apps, but on cyanogen mod official page I dont see rom like that?

You can't get a CM ROM with gApps built-in. Also, this should be in the Q&A forum, not in here.

I solved it partially, I have something wrong in directories structure.
If i put device into MTP mode and copy zip's on strorage everything goes to /sdcard/0 and if I open it in CWM I can see files that I uploaded.
It would be ok, but for example when I'm installing go backup the application files are going to /sdcard/GOBackup and if I want to restore data I must move /sdcard/0/GOBackup to /sdcard/GOBackup .
How I can repartition my device, or which app I should use to get state before it was broken (it was after installing miui).
EDIT. I readed that is feature of android 4.2 connected with multi user structure, I am first user of this device so i have directory 0, but I didn't found answer what I should do to connect mtp to /sdcard not sdcard/0
