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.

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!

pro apps

Alright, you all are amazing. I have a nootered nookcolor running launcherpro, and all of your help has been so appreciated. I am now at a wall. I did not use super or autonooter so I am comfortable in terminal. I have a few apps I bought and want to install to my nook.
I used titanium backup, and no matter what I do, it seems I need market to get them to work properly on my Nook.
I have tried:
adb (and throwing them into the system/app folder)
titanium backup (I installed SU titanium and busybox)
and root explorer.
The apps are...
Docs to go (full version key) says key is outdated
Gottodo (says it is not licensed)
sketchbook mobile (please ensure you are connected to a network and try again:Error code:UNKOWN) I am.
I am trying to keep my install as lightweight as possible so I avoided autonooter, but I may have to actually install the market. Arggghh
So, after all this help, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

If you follow the threads, you'll be able to get market running, etc (try supernooter) once thats done u can reinstall your purchased apps.

The problem is your not enabled correctly for market. Look for an app called MarketAccess. It'll fix your market and you can just downlaad your purchased apps.

Nook Color 1.2 Rooted

I restored to stock and update my nook color to 1.2.0. YAY flash works! This will properly root using nooter 0.2 This of course only enables adb so if you have to manually install all the programs you want. One downside if you like the stock launcher(user interface) is the installed programs do not show in the new 'apps' menu. Also, make sure you install nook color tools from the auto-nooter. Debuging does not stay on after you reboot and the program will enable you to do so. Also, you will need another launcher such as ADW to access your programs.

I have a rooted Nook Color with stock 1.1 Rom and clockworkmod recovery installed.
Will the new update be pushed to me automatically, or do I have to manually install it.
If I have to do it manually do I do it per the instructions on B&N website or some other way using clockworkmod recover?

I believe you have to do it manually. I read that you can do it with CWR. The person who did it said it froze or something on the first boot but a reboot fixed it. Search '[ROM 1.2] nook color' on xda for instructions thread.

I was wondering, once auto-rooters are released, will you still be able to use the apps you got from B&N? There are one or two I'd buy, but want to make sure I can still root and use them. Thanks!

i'd assume they'd be tied into your b&n account - similar to your books - you can redownload any of your books that you purchased previously.
edit: btw, thanks OP for the heads up on nooter 0.2 - i'm back to where i was at with autonooter and root with 1.1 (minus gapps, which i haven't played with yet)... a lot more tedious doing things manually. running adw launcher pro as my launcher.

good job thx！！
cannot feel more wonderful.

Although the apps from the nook market seem to be modified to be recognized by the nook interface, I still have the library and shop apps in my zeam menu. I don't think there will be a problem using and apps from the nook market on any rooted nook.
@everyone
Amazon market works, but I had to install the angry birds apk using adb. I read there are problems installing apk's bigger than 4M. I suspect this may have something do to with that issue.
I don't have market working yet but it looks like someone did it with a specific market version and nookie-froyo-gapps. It also looks like auto-nooter will be out soon. I will be doing manual because I'm very anal about not having unnecessary software on my devices.
Edit: Market is working if but it appears large programs still do not install. Here is a guide:
download nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207.zip (use google) & unzip
download Vending.apk & Talk.apk from this post http:// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051235&page=11
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblock0p5 /system
adb push nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app
adb push nookie-froyo-gapps-20110207/system/etc/permissions/features.xml /system/etc/permissions
adb push Vending.apk /system/app
adb push Talk.apk /system/app

has the autonooter fpor 1.2 been released yet?

For now it's ManualNooter uses CWM.
Has some issues.

I can install gapps from the nookie froyo pack but calendar is not included. Even after setting up gmail, my calendars will not show. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

[Q] Re-rooted NC wont install same app

I bought the NC about a week ago, it came as version 1.2 and I used manual rooter 4.5.6 to root it. I installed a few apps including all of the ClearView RC heli sims (Three in all) and all worked fine. I couldn't get any angry birds to work, after I DLed and tried to install them it just said app not installed. I understand this is due to a SMS problem the nook is missing..
So I decided to buy Angry Birds HD from the nook market, I did this on my computer with the wrong account and had to deregister then register and re-root my nook color exactly how I did before. However, this time the three ClearView apps would not install.
I got the Angry Birds HD installed and a few other nonmarket apps and everything works the same, minus those three apps. I have no idea why I cant install them, they worked before, why not now? Any ideas? I download the apk file, use app installer, click install then it says app not installed. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if ungrading the the newest manual nooter will help? Also, in the nooter there is an app folder with ten or fifteen apk files. If I add a few more apk files will they install?
EDIT: The newer manual nooter worked like a charm and I now have full Android Market! One last question if anyone is reading my post, my nook color wont like me view full sites if they have a mobile version. Is this a setting?

[Q] Installing an apk w/out market

In the ongoing battle to not have the market crash on launch (rooted stock 1.3 running 4.6.16 and I fixed permissions with ROM manager) I've noticed that titanium backup seems to be a start for a few potential fixes. That said - I have to actually install the bloody thing and w/out market access that's proving tough.
I d'loaded the apk via. the built-in browser. It's on my SD card. But I can't seem to find any way for the built-in app-laucher to....well, launch. When I run the apk's from the browser I get 2 options:
Complete action (running apk) using:
* App Installer (which when clicked says it's unable to install and that I should archive then unarchive the app and try again)
* Package installer (which says there's a prob. parsing the package).
I've got what I assume to be non-market app's checked off in NC Tools (it's the blank box in NC Tools with nothing next to it that people talk about).
Any suggestions to get the bloody apk working?

Sounds like a badly packaged .apk. It also has that error whenever I try to install Honeycomb specific apps.

Did you enable non-market installs?

Do as Dizzy said or find another apk to install, if it keep crashing then try install some another ROM like CM7.

In the NC tools I do have what is supposed to be the non-market installs checked off (but with it being a blank box of text next to it, I'm not positive).
I guess it might be a bad apk, but I got it from the TB site directly. I tried ES File Explorer too. It would seem all apk's I'ev tried give the same error. I'm not sure if maybe B&N somehow hobbled the ability to install apk's with their 1.3 update.

I had CM7 on for a few days, but with the market not working well on it (market determined that the nook wasn't compatible with any of the apps, even with the LCD resize), and with a subscription to PC mag via. B&N I went back to stock rooted 1.3.
Any other suggestions? I was thinknig of trying MIUI if things in CM7 or the Nootered stock don't resolve themselves.

MIUI is just a themed outdated cm7. I don't see how that would help.
Can you get any .apks to install?

I just finished the Android SDK/Java route to push apk's to the NC. I've successfully installed Titanium, ES File explorer, Opera Mobile and SwiFTP to my NC via the SDK route. While I don't have market access, I guess it will be ok for now....I sure wish the Market worked properly though....nice 'n convenient. Ah well.
[EDIT] One thing I did try to get the market to work was uninstall Flash 10.3. I put on 10.2 & reset permissions. No dice for what it's worth....if somebody's keeping a list of things that don't work.

Interestingly, if I try to use the default browser to install appbrain (www.appbrain.com/install), or even Opera mobile to install it, .... it results in a flash screen (rotating flash dots in the middle) that crashes after a second....just like when I (attempt to) launch the Market.
