App market not working

i am wondering why my app market is not working and how i would fix that. It keeps saying "the requested app cannot be found". Yet when i search i find them as soon as i click them i get that error. I am running the latest kingxrom. On his thread it says to use this script but were do put this script i tried entering it in the terminal but it just forceclosed and then i tried the console and after the reboot i got just a blackscreen so i had to reflash so im wondering were im suppose to put this script or what another way to fix my market thanks.
# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
(enter)
# rm -rf /system/sd/*
(enter)
# rm -rf /system/data/*
(enter)
# reboot recovery

I myself also have been experiencing this issue, really annoying and don't know whats the cause.

ya i have flashed a couple other roms and im getting the same problem when i had mlign rom i didnt have this problem so i think im going to flash back to the mlign and see if it works. I searched google for 3 days and didnt come up with anything that worked man im so stumped on this problem.

I am also getting the errors. I have tried other ROMs and still get the errors.

ok well i have tried kings new rom sense v1.3 and the market still doesnt work so i guess ill be trying cm's 4.2.2 by the way is that rom faster then the hero's i find the hero's to be pretty dang fast

I switched to CM 4.1.11.1 and the is market working. It is the 1.6 version of course. Don't know what the 1.5 version market's issue is, and I really like the Hero ROM's.

ya me to man i like the hero roms a lot but i need the market so guess ill be trying out the cm rom now is it faster then hero

why arent you guys flashing 4.2.1 - it is Very fast and better than the other CMs in my opinion.

i might just try that one

Strange, but I decided to try and go back to Hero ROM again and it works fine (the market). Like nothing ever happened.

I had this problem. I tried several different roms, completely wiped everything, reformatted sd... I even wiped and went back to stock Donut. It didn't work, until I created a new Google account. Now it works fine on any rom. I wonder if google has put a limit on how many times you can log in to the market, to stop sharing of paid apps.

I'm pretty sure that google did not do anything like that. Something got borked for all of you guys. While I have not flashed any Hero roms in a long long time, I do know that you need to really clean out your phone before you even attempt to put Hero on it. That includes
Wipe
Wipe again
Drop to terminal and rm -r
system/sd/app
system/sd/app-private
system/sd/dalvik-cache
data/app
data/app-private
data/dalvik-cache
data/data (I think)
run e2fsk on your system/sd
wipe again
And only then you should install Hero rom following all recommendations from the creator of the rom.
Also, I wouldn't wipe right after installing a rom: sometimes devs sneak a thing or two into /data which you could delete if you wipe.
Good luck.

Yes, I definitely completely cleaned out my phone. I completely wiped EVERYTHING, everything in data, in cache, in system... I even completely formatted my sd back to fat32, then reformatted again with ext4 and swap partitions. Then I wiped again, twice, then flashed cyan's stable. I also did the same thing (minus the total reformat of sd, just a simple delete of data) with a couple other ROMs, including kingklick. Market still didn't work. I did one wipe, flashed kingklick's latest sapphire sense port, and logged in with a NEW google account, and it worked perfectly. I'm going to try wiping and logging in with my old account, to see if it gives me the same error.
edit: Confirmed. Wiped, flashed, logged in with old account --> Market broken. Wiped again, flashed again, logged in with new account again --> Market works. I'm trying to contact Google to see what can be done.

i tried this over and over and over again and nothing im gonna try creating a new google account and see if that works

I ended up wiping, repartitioning my sdcard card and wiping and reinstalling my ROM and it all works (I did backup ONLY using backup for root users.) and it all works fine for me know, going on 1 1/2 days. I use the same google account.

i had apps backed up on my sd card but if repartioning the sd card worked for you then i might to do that dont want to make a new google account lol.

ok so pretty much nothing worked for me besides changing my gmail account anyway i can change my gmail account sign in back to my old one without reflashing

Modaco Custom Rom 1.1 Core- app2SD help!

Hi i have a sprint htc hero that i have rooted successfully with the Modaco Custom ROM 1.1 Core but now i need help finding a apps2sd download that will work w/ this ROM and is for my phone..... I've read a few posts on people that have somewhat done this already but i honestly don't understand what they are talking about when they refer to the terminal? how do you even reach that on this phone? I have a 2GB memory card w/ like 978MB open all i need is the download and how to install it in simple terms i learned a little with the linux OS but wasnt the best with cmds! does it matter what OS your comp has? ive got Umbuntu 9.1 and Windows XP. Can anyone plz help me i dont want to have risked rooting my phone for nothing! and Thanks in advance!

You have to partition your sdcard then apps2sd is automatic when phone is loading

ok great wat do you suggest with the amount of memory i have left i should partition it? do i need to back up my memory first wipe it then partition it and add it all back? thanks again!

I have my ext2 partition set to 500mb and its always best to back everything up to be safe

ok sorry i must be stupid! Im in my recovery n i hit the option to part sd fat32+ext2+swap but it never gave me option to set anything... wat am i doin wrong?

That's ok it sets it all up for you I'm thinking it sets it to a 500mb ext partition

ok ok so basically when i reboot next time i download an app from the market itll automatically save to my SD? cuz i dont see that option either im not sure it worked! thanks again for all your help.

Yup that's the way it works

you can check to see if apps2sd is working by setting it up, download an app, and then get into adb and cd to system/sd/data and then ls and you should see the app listed in that spot

Ok I'm not exactly sure what adb is...... but I've downloaded an app looked in my astro file manager went to system/sd/ then I couldn't go any further is that an app for my phone or my computer.

Adb is for your computer. It allows you too manipulate the phone from a command prompt (like Linux terminal).

Can NO LONGER flash ROMS?! What gives? Symlink errors ive never seen...

Ok guys, this is really weird...THis is my third G1, and up until now i have never had a problem flashing custom ROMS. The latest i was using was blue magic...i have occasionally found that this rom will randomly delete programs upon rebooting...the first few times it was deleting "market", and once or twice it deleted handcent sms. Its really strange because when i go to the market, it says that handcent is installed, but the option to open it is greyed out, and it is nowhere to be found in the app drawer, in settings under "manage applications", nor using appmanager, linda, astro, etc...
HERES THE REAL PROBLEM--SO, i finally got frustrated enough that I decided to flash a different rom. As always, i made a nandroid backup. However, now i cant get the roms to flash...the ONLY one i can find that works is cyanogens latest...Even roms that i have previsouly loaded no problem, are now aborting during the install process, citing various errors. to make matters worse, my nandroid backups arent working. it says "restore successful", but it sticks on the "g1" startup screen, and yes, i have let it sit there over 20 mins, to no avail.....the latest is, while trying to install blue magic (from a fresh start):
E: cant symlink /system/bin/stop
E: failure at line 53
I reinstalled the radio and spl but that did no good. I am no debian/linux guru...in fact what little i know about debian/adb/linux has been what ive learned while rooting my phone. So, I am pretty computer literate, not entirely stupid, but i have very limited knowledge of linux based commands...i dont even know what symlink is, what it does, or how it works...all i know is that i suddenly cant flash roms that ive flashed before. Any help would be appreciated mucho!! Thanks in advance!

It could be an issue with roms that needs DangerSPL, Cyanogen dosent need it ?
Could your SD card be dieing ? would explain the disapearing apps too, if you are using apps to sd
Try repairing the ext partition
Code:
#e2fsck -fcpDC0 /*/*/*0p2
#reboot recovery
I would completly wipe all partitions on the sdcard and remake them and see if it shakes it, or try a different card.

Sounds like a dying sdcard.. I get some of the same issues. At the moment, I sometimes have to copy an update.zip to the card 3 or 4 times before it will flash. I've reformatted it to no avail so I'm assuming the card itself is circling the drain.

[Q] COS-DS - can't install home applications

So, after having installed the last few iterations of COS-DS (April 21st through May 1st) I cannot seem to get ADW EX installed or any other custom home application. It always ends with that the application cannot be installed. Yoshi RC6 and 7 haven't had this same issue and honestly I've never encountered it before. I've tried fix permissions, wiping caches, switching install location.
I also notice in the thread someone makes brief mention to this, but is replied to by Roalex as being fixed in the latest rom. (which at the time was April 26th)
Any Help?

I would think that is happenning becuz u have the default install location in sd-ext, so try installing it in the sysytem memory

As I noted, changing install location doesn't work. In fact, I don't use Sd-Ext and don't have the partition on my sdcard

Try doin a fresh install, wipe everything and reflash the rom.
EDIT: Before u do that. There is a known bug that still installs apps in the phone memory even though you set the ext partition as the default install location, so they wont install, they will only install if they are installed in the sd card. Are you sure you have an Fat32 partition and ext4 partition on your sd card?
did u click allow moving(COSsettings/Application)?

As I noted, I've tried reflashing the rom (I've done it multiple times for for each of the older and newer versions of the rom that I specified). Furthermore, I stated I don't ever do SD-EXT, the partition simply does not exist for my card. I find it buggy and nasty and quite frankly I should never need it if I have a responsible amount of apps for my phone.

One of the requirements for the rom is to have a ext 4 partition.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App

number of reasons an app can't install
COS sets market d/l cache to /data/download
this could be the problem
when an app installs it looks at free space on data, and then takes away 10% of the total size
so assuming you don;t use custom MTD you have total data size around 90mb
adw is about 1mb (just over)
so 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
we add adw size twice because cos d/l the temp file to data
do you have enough space on data?
it could be something else
I use ADW Ex , and it was fine with COS
BUT I installed without wiping data
(later I deleted /sd-ext/data and /sd-ext/system to start fresh I use Firerat's ddb )
either way ADW Ex ran fine
how are you installing?
a logcat of what happens during install would be nice
I made a todo list
logcat is on it
I want to write a one stop guide to bring everyone up to speed on tools like adb, logcat, fastboot and compiling maybe throw in a totally basic Linux vm to do it all (some license issues with that , so don't hold me to it)
short version
adb logcat > alogcat.txt

[Q] Really confusing SD card bug

Hello to whoever reads this thread, I hope you can help me.
I'm looking for help since I've been stuck with this issue for a week now and don't know what to do about it.
It all started a few days after finally getting a 16GB SDCard for my Note.
This sounds weird but I can't install all apps. I can install Facebook, Bacon Reader without problem, but apps like XDA or games won't install at all. The play store will just keep saying "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card"
I tried so many things that I don't have a clue if what I'm doing is actually useful.
Here is a few things I did to get rid of that problem :
- Wiping cache/dalvik, rebooting...many times.
- Flashing PA 4.0 Alpha again and again
- Looking for the "smdl2tmp1.asec" file in .android_secure and remove it (There's no file at all in that folder for me and I have no idea how people manage to see it since I can't really explore the root folder from Windows Explorer)
So, at this point I'm just tired of trying quick fixes and I motivate myself to do the following:
- Trying to go back to PA 3.99 RC2, but CWM is just going mad at me saying the zip file is not made for my device (status 7 error...)
- Updating CWM and trying to flash PA 3.99 RC2 after the first install failed. Fail again.
- Edit the update-script file from Windows to delete the specific "device" lines as stated on this thread. Fail again ? Fail again.
Some background info as I just thought about something that might be causing the issue.
See, Play Music for an incredibly stupid reason doesn't allow you to save music to an external sd card so I've been googling a lot and came upon that blog post giving a few tips on how to solve that issue. Maybe I f'ed up something in the process since I find that manoeuver a bit confusing.
More background info : I've been using PA since 3.69 and never have had any issue with it until that Alpha version but since nobody is reporting errors in the PA support thread it must be a problem on my side.
Oh, and while I'm at it, the loading battery animation when the phone is turned off looks really odd, like it's android from a decade ago and not the fancy one i put as the thread icon.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for I really don't know what to do anymore. :crying:
Also sorry for bad english.
FINAL EDIT : Oops. Found the answer by myself, thanks anyway

This bug is supposed to be fixed in the current/next nightly of omnirom.

Thanks for the answer.
So...there's no way to just fix the "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" bug ? I don't really want to be forced to change for Omni...
