After rom upgrade my Android has phantom apps

My MT3g thinks I have a couple dozen apps already installed that aren't already installed. When I go to the market to install one, it says "INSTALLED" if I click on it, I see the OPEN and UNINSTALL buttons grayed out. How can I get my android to stop being obstinate and let me either install or use the apps it thinks are installed?

Did you wipe before you flashed your rom?

I thought so! but apparently I didn't...
I thought Cyanogen had a script to fix this issue though but I can't find it. FixPermissions.sh or something.

Try and format your partition ext/2. I had to do that when switching roms to because apps weren't launching.

Anyone figure this out I'm having the same issue with my G1 with Cyan v4.1.9999????

Same issue after wipe/factory flash and rom upgrade

might be worth following eventually. I've tried using other file and package managers to try and remove the apps, but they aren't showing up anywhere but in the market as phantom apps with greyed out open/update and uninstall buttons.

If you can download the original installer from somewhere (google search), just install that, uninstall it, then install it from the market and that should fix the problem. That's what I did.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This method works... if you can find the apks. I thought backup for root users saved all apks. But apparently it doesn't for protected apps >.> and I can't find a few of them anywhere on the internet (or the download links don't work for me e.g. rapidshare)
So I'd be really grateful if anyone could upload these apks for me.
biz.mtoy.shot.apk (Shot: a game)
com.agilesoftresource.apk (AndroZip)
com.che.beta.wtd.client.apk (What the Doodle!)
com.handson.gh4.lite.apk (Guitar Hero 4 Lite)
com.herocraft.game.farmfrenzylite.apk (Farm Frenzy Lite)
com.media1908.lightningbug.apk (Lightning Bug)
com.moblyng.android.dungeonquest.apk (Dungeon Quest)
com.socialnmobile.clock.digital.apk (Digital Clock by social n mobile)
game.golf.control.activity.apk (droid minigolf)
sg.uandroid.sgbustiming.apk (SG bus timing)
Thank you!

Installed Apps and Market DB out of sync...what to do?

Running Cyanogen 4.2.6 with apps2SD.
I ended up having to restore from a nandroid backup that was a week or so old.
Now I've noticed that the some apps that I installed in the interim are on my phone and installed, but don't show up in my "Downloads" list.
And the opposite is true as well.....apps that I removed in the interim appear in the "Downloads" section, but I am not able to uninstall or install from market.
Is there a way I can rebuild the Market database file?

[Q] Problem with Fast Web Installer and Appbrain on Froyo

Is anyone having problems with getting Appbrain and the Fast Web Installer to work on their Captivates with Froyo? And yes, I have installed the Fast Web Install app and activated it on my Cappy. If I am on my PC and I try to install an app from the internet, I get this error message:
"Fast Web Install is not available for your phone due to a bug in the Android Operating System"
AlsoI noticed sometimes if I download something directly from the Android Market, it says it is downloading but it will not do anything. Other times, it works just fine so I'm kind of confused. Anyone else notice anything? I did not have any problems with Eclair.
Also, I wonder if it was something to do with the fact that I used Titanium Backup to restore apps + data. I did not however restore any of the system data, just the app data. I have already reinstalled both the Appbrain and Fast Web Install app.
Just to update: The problem I am also having is that something will download completely as well but it will not install. It shows that it is fully downloaded but won't install. Any suggestions?

I'm having problems with appbrain as well. I had 2.1 unmodified, did the 2.2 flash and can't send installs from the appbrain web site to my mobile.

Just encountered this problem with app brain as well. I also have occasional weird frozen installs from market, have to restart those. wonder if we missed something.

I had the market force close on me earlier when I was loading a bunch of applications. Not all at the same time either.

Problem with Fast Web Installer and Appbrain on FroyoArrow
Only issue I had was my app lists were not syncing after I updated to the new 2.2 leak. I had to delete my appbrain account online, uninstall the app from the phone. Then sign back up for a new appbrain account and reinstall the app. Seems to be ok now.

I have the same problem.
I try to delete the account and sign up again.
Deleted both application in the phone, and reinstall.
I can send text and url's to the phone just fine.
uninstall seems to work too.
But automatic instalation does not.
What could i try to solve this?
(yes its on froyo)

After reading extensively on the Cognition thread, I found out that the reason the Fast Web Installer does not work is that since we are running a leaked build of froyo, everyone has the same Android device ID.

After following these steps, I was able to get Fast Web Installer to work. Hope that helps.

How did you install sqlite3 on the device?
Its not in mine..

Thanks howsleyd!
I ended up copying the db into my desktop and modifing it there.
I actually has a android_id code setted up. So i modified it and invented a new.
Now Fast install works fine.
Thanks!

Fast Web Installer not working for me either after 9.1
I downloaded Android ID Changer and changed a few numbers and changed it.... reboot and everything is good with Appbrain and the market

[Q] ROCKET-v22-LA4-eybee1970 and Google Maps installation problem

Hello all,
I am now facing the installation problem on Google Maps after my Galaxy Note has been installed "ROCKET-v22-LA4-eybee1970". After I found the Google Maps could not be updated, I have been uninstalled it by using the Titanium backup "free version". Then, I go back to the Market and try to re-install it. Despite many attempts, installation failed with the same box appeared to tell me [Error - Unknown error code during application installation:"-8" ].
Please tell me what to do?
With so many thanks.

I had the same problem. I guess I forgot to convert the Map to "user app" before I deleted it with Titanium backup. (To convert to and from user/system app in TB, long press the Map application and choose convert to user app or vice versa)
When I forgot the above routine and got the same error as you, downloaded http://www.mediafire.com/?qx0x8bu3oag9u0b and installed it. Then converted to system app. Now version 6.3 was updated without any problems through the market as well!

Thanks. It's really worked. With many many thanks.

problem when installing, updating by playstore

issue: updating, downloading by playstore
ROM: cm7.2 nightly 16/9/2012
description: while updating or downloading apps, they are stuck on some point so that I have to kill the playstore the relaunch it to continue.
I have deleted Vending.apk marketupdater.apk
and /data/ com.andorid.vening
com.andorid.veningupdater
what to do?

This happened right after you flashed the rom? If so,reflash
If it was working fine before, then need more information
Insert witty sentence here

Maybe something wrong with download manager app, have you tried downloading anything else other than apps or updates?

the problem occurred because of Gemini App
