App installation always hanging...bad sdcard?

I am experiencing some very unusual problems with my froyo installs, specifically when installing/restoring apps.
First the basic info:
Nexus One
Froyo 2.2 FRF 72 stock with root no radio update
Upgraded from FRF 50 stock with root no radio update
I used Titanium Backup (TB) to backup all my apps, I have done this countless times before. Everything was fine on FRF50, but I wanted to try out a modified ROM. Yes I nandroided, but the restore failed THANKS CLOCKWORKMOD!! I should have stuck with amonRA. Anway, I had no choice but to flash again. I tried a few from the forums with all the same results so I gave up on them and just did stock with root but still having the issues.
When I restored the apps with TB, i get about 90% of my apps restored then I get an error saying that my space is full (even tho I enabled the stock apps2sd method) OR TB will suddenly just stop restoring apps, again stuck around 94%. I am thinking, its okay ill just reboot and continue. Well I rebooted and all the apps were gone even tho they are obviously on the sdcard, i checked.
So typical solution:
force stop the launcher. that didnt work. i tried other launchers, nothing worked. i had no choice but to wipe and try again. trust me, i did this way to many times, i dont even wanna think about it.
So i thought there was an issue with TB, yes i clicked "problems", upgraded busybox, trust me, I did all the basic stuff, Im beyond that.
Then I tried installing every app manually, thats over 150+ apps, ya..it was annoying as hell. Then suddenly, I would get stuck at the installing screen....no app would install, not from TB, not from market, not from the sdcard...nothing.
So typical solution:
delete .android_secure
That only works temporarily, then its back to the issue.
The point is, it keeps happening. Like today, I install a fresh ROM, yes I wiped, I even partitioned the sdcard and within installing literally ONE app, I get this problem, no app installs after that. So I went and deleted .android_secure and everything seems to be working okay. But this will happen again, if I try to restore with TB now, the same thing will happen again. I have tried every combination of installing apps, using TB, wiping....nothing seems to work.
On top of all that, my apps wont restore automatically from the market when installing a fresh ROM. So my question, what do I do about this and has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
I called it. It happened again. Fresh install, installed one app, no apps installed after that, deleted .android_secure, everything was back to normal, started restoring apps with TB, stuck at 93%, nothing will install now...any suggestions? should i delete .android_secure AGAIN!?

Decided to install cyanogenmod 6.0.0 final today (didn't flash any of the nightlies/RCs), and now I'm facing the same problem. My titanium backup restores all appeared to be going well, and in fact I can even run the apps that were successfully restored without problems. But at some point in the restore it'll hang, and I won't be able to install anything from then on. In fact, when I tried rebooting the phone, it wouldn't even detect any of the apps installed on the sdcard (although, when I checked /sdcard/.android_secure, all the .asec files were present).
OP/anyone else, did you ever manage to fix this problem?
I've got the exact same problem
Tried 3 different roms after wiping everything and I can't seem to install any app.
TB does not install app and neither does market and this is starting to get very annoying.
Same problem but with specific apps:
Wi-Fi File Explorer Pro (most important as I paid for it)
Angry Birds
Google Sky Map
My other 100+ apps restored from Ti Backup or installed from the Market.
I have logs that say "unable to open secure container" but who do I send them to?
Enom from TheOfficialRom has stated that restoring from Titanium is really not very good practice. I had the exact same thing happen to me when i first installed his rom; enabled apps2sd, restored all apps and data with titanium backup.
Here's the catch, and might help you. I then did a wipe (don't wipe ext too!) and when it came up all of my apps were installed and worked fine. I even went through and manually restored all of the data from the apps and they continued to work fine! Just don't restore "System" data, set that stuff back up by hand. So in this case, the apps are "already installed" and for me worked fine, even after restoring their data (not the apps themselves, as they were already on the ext partition). This fixed my primary issue ("all" apps failed to install or upgrade).
However, I continued to have periodic problems with certain apps as I had also enabled dalvik-cache to /cache which works if you don't have a bazillion apps installed, but I have >115 and my /cache was always 100% full and caused app installs to fail. Some were fine, some were not. Don't know why, but I know (after wiping again) and NOT moving dalvik-cache, zero problems. I even repeated the process back and forth a few times and dalvik-cache to /cache = fail for me. You can check in his Spare Parts if you're using his ROM, or just df in a terminal if you've moved the dalvik to make sure where it's at isn't full.
Hopefully this helps some.
I had this problem earlier on after trying a custom rom moving from FRF91 when it first came out. I had to go through the market to get the apps, but titanium would restore the data after i installed the app... i think.
The Clockword nandroid kept failing on me too. BUT, i found if i tried them a second or third time, they would actually work.

[Q] Apps uninstalling themselves...

Hi there,
I performed a search but could not find any solution or anyone that has this same problem.
LG-P970g V20j running CM10.1 (Nightly-p970) JB 4.2.2 Kernel V 3.0.8-CM+
Certain games I download seem to be uninstalling them selves. I download the games and can run them no problem. Once I reboot, the icon remains yet when I try to open the game, it says "app not installed"...
If I check my apps list, sure enough, they are now missing. As a test I downloaded another different game and it remained installed after reboot and opened no problem.
It's only with certain games this problem occurs. Some of the specific games I know of that have this issue is Minecraft, Tupsu, Pinball Arcade and Offworld, just to name a few. Some other games that still work fine and remain installed after reboot are Angry Birds, Bad Piggies, Hill climb racing, Uno-free, SuperGnes emulator and Vector.
I tried reflashing the 4.2.2 Gapps zip. as well a clearing data, then reboot. Nothing seems to work. I install the games, they run fine. Then, after a reboot, I go to play them again, click on the icon and I get a message "app not installed". So confused...
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Mike.
Edit: Also wanted to mention that I have an Asus Transformer TF101 tablet that I recently rooted and also installed CM10.1 jb 4.2.2 (Thanks to the geniuses here on Xda! ). It's working great as well and I can run those same games with zero issues. I can reboot and they all remain installed and run without any problems.

It is a CM10.1 bug. Moving an app to sd card unistall after reboot. Keep the app in internal memory

So I need to install those apps to the internal memory?
Problem with that is the internal storage is very limited...
Any other ways to get around this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll do some more reading up on that ROM and maybe give it a go. :good:

[Q] Google Play issues

So I have sucessfully installed CM 10.1 to my Kindle Fire HD 7". I have also flashed the Google Apps jb-20130301-signed. I am able to access the Play Store and DL games. None of them seem to work. For example Candy Crush opens and the music plays, but when I tap Play! the game locks up and does nothing. When I tap the angry birds icon it turns the screen black and eventually says its not responding. Also, sometimes when installing a game from the Play Store I click install and it locks up the store. I must reset the device to gain access to the store again.
I've tried to wipe and reinstall both the CM and Apps. I've searched the forums and the only real thing I can find is verifying the correct version of the Google Apps ROM is installed. Any suggestions?

This is a bug associated with cm10.1 and has been an ongoing fix with Hashcode until he releases a new release with more fixes, most games will force close. Also try to reinstall ROM and gapps and wipe dalvik cache, cache, factory reset, and internal sd

I run Candy Crush and other applications on my CM10.1 (07/18 release) without a problem. The only issue I have is with a Taxi app, but it's of so little significance I haven't bothered to research it.
Have you upgraded to that version yet? When you do the upgrade, make sure you use TWRP and wipe the cache.

[Q] insufficient space when reinstalling app

I was testing out titanium backup, and after backing up shadowgun, I uninstalled it, and went to restore it. However every time I try to restore, when it goes to reinstall the app, I am greeted by the insufficient space error. I've tried restarting, clearing the cache and the dalvik cache, but no.luck.
The only thing I havent tried is deleting the folder containing the game data that the app would usually have to download, but i dont think that is the issue. I can also install other apps without issue, it's just this one.
Still havent worked this out, and none of the game data appears to be on my phone (or at least that I can find)
Edit - I found the .odex file and deleted it and it worked perfectly now. Turns out I was looking in the wrong location when I first read about that as a possible reason lol.

[Q] Google Play services won't start, after a factory reset.

Here is the sequence of events that led to this:
- Was prompted to get Android 5. I installed it. Never had a single problem with this phone before I did this.
- I tried to download a large game but the download kept failing. After a couple more tries, it suddenly said I was out of storage space. I checked my storage and it said 5 GB was being taken up by "System Data".
- I clear some games to make space so I can look up the problem and get any utility apps I would need. According to the Google research, the problem was with a data folder I don't have access to. I tried the *#9900# code which gave a "connection failed" error, so I was left to either do a factory reset or root my phone.
- I rooted my phone.
- Afterwards, used DiskUsage to check what was taking up so much data, about a fourth of it was Dalvik cache. Google searches instructed me to just go in and delete everything in the Dalvik folder manually, but I was scared to because I didn't want to mess up my phone (the irony). Downloaded System Cleaner ROOT in hopes it would solve it. It didn't, it just messed up all my programs. It set up a backup, so I loaded the backup and things seemed to turn back to normal. However, it did absolutely nothing to fix my full storage problem.
- Backed up a bunch of my stuff to my SD card and went for the factory reset, again thinking it would be better than if I just went and wiped a bunch of files I'm unfamiliar with. After the reset, the phone brought up that "upgrading your apps" prompt before starting. Now nothing works again, including Google Play services, which is required to get past the set-up screen.
I don't know whether it was the System Cleaner app or if it was the Lollipop that screwed things up, but my phone is now useless since I can't get past the set-up prompts. Is there anything at all that I can do? Because this is pretty bad.
