Stuck in "starting download" in marketplace

D/L'ed Titanium backup last night and started removing unnecessary stock apps. Tried today to D/L from the marketplace and each D/L gets stuck in "starting download." I was reading somewhere that removing Google Talk might have something to do with this. Any suggestions?

I was having a problem with the market as well today. So I went into settings/applications/manage applications and cleared all data and updates involved with google market and don't have a problem

There are a lot of people who have issues with the market if they remove google talk. If you removed it, try replacing it and see what happens.

download link? should I just extract it from a custom rom?
Also, instead of starting a new topic..I have already rooted my phone but can't seem to find a step by step to installing a custom rom. I D/L'ed Darchdroid 2.7 but don't really know where to go from there. Link or see below?
Is this the correct way?
Download ROM ZIP of Choice: XDA Wiki - ROMs
1) Copy ROM ZIP to SDCard Root (/sdcard/)
2) Reboot into recovery mode>Flash zip from sdcard>select ROM ZIP

Okay so I have been experiencing the same problems. I am a bit new to this but have been reading like crazy on how go fix it.
So here's the deal: I have the Droid X 2.1 w/update (not 2.2), rooted, and yesterday I started uninstalling annoying stock apps, using Titanium Backup. Not thinking anything of it, I then go to the market and realize that I cannot download anything. My phones internet works great! (I'm using it to write this now) and I can even download apps from the phones stock browser, but the Market is stuck on download. I followed your instructions on uninstalling it, canceling it, rebooting it, but nothing is working. I think wiped my phone thinking it would reinstall the stock apps. To my dismay, nope. So now I have no apps on my phone except the few stock apps I have left. I heard the problem is Google Talk but if i'm not mistaken, DroidX can't flash ROMS. So any suggestions? I'm open to all!

Angry Birds Lite Beta

They released it in the market but I can't find it. Has anyone had success in it showing up for them? Maybe our device isn't supported? I hope that's not the case cause I would be so bummed.

I tried the market through phone, scanning the barcode on Droid-life and tried the download link and it won't show. when I clicked the "Feedback" link in the e-mail they sent me letting me know it was out, under the device section our phone isn't listed so I think we are being left out in the cold.
edit: they have the download link on the homepage of Android Spin (where I got my copy, it's the same as posted in Post#4 here) and it running great with my setup
edit 2: on Rovio's site for the Android version it says "1.6 or above" but Android Spin pointed out it is only showing up in the market for devices that are officially running 2.2, I guess that's why we don't see it in our market even for those of us running FroYo.

Didn't see it on my market either I'm waiting also!!!
Sent from my Ally using XDA App

I read froyo only. I'm on 2.1 atm so I will test that but if someones on a froyo build heres the APK
http://www.mediafire.com/?j797r19xtm78g1z
That was listed under a Vibrant thread so I don't know how well it will work. Since theres no official 2.2 for mytouch slide i would think that would be why the problem of not finding it in the market?
I'm not entirely sure where the APK came from or what device it's intended for but i'll post again after testing on 2.1

Works on cm6. Thanks!

Does work on 2.1 app says needs to have 1.6 or higher to work... (Motoblur love haha)
I will say we should keep an eye out for one that works better on lower resolution devices though...

damn this game is a blast!!! just had to push out to the A2SD on the Behold 2 I loaded up with games for my lil girl (7yr old, she calls it her Android Touch) so I could get my Slide back

Works fine on my stock Slide.
I was checking for a while and didn't see it in the market, but eventually it showed up. I just searched "Rovio".
The resolution is slightly off, but it's working well enough. I seem to freeze on some parts however.

Angry Birds Lite is what I searched and I found it no problem. Only complaint with the game so far is that it doesn't have the resolution for our screens.

No such luck, nothing in market and the apk from mediafire wont install. Attempts to install in fails. Sigh i was really hopeing to try this out. Running latest CM6 btw

Ok, might sound 'tarded but...how? Don't you kinda need the SD card location available to download the apk file?
Still can't find it on the market either (for Eugene's CM6 ROM, btw). I've already downloaded it 3 times from mediashare just to see if it was a download error but still won't install correctly.

[Q] missing market apps

i had my phone upgraded by a friend to cognition 3.02, which was a bonus after he fixed some settings so the phone could read my sim again. everything works great, but i have run into yet another problem. the app store doesent show me all the apps, and i actually cant find anything i was able to use before, all is shows me is a bunch of apps that have less than 50 downloads. i also sometimes get a message saying that my device might not be compatible with the android market. All i want is to the the market to work properly and not have to bring it back in so my friend has to waste more time toying around with it.
All is appreciated

Did you back up your android id when on stock?
Did you try this, settings, applications, manage, market, clear data?

I have the same problem after reflashing a ROM tonight. I am in a test market site and all the apps available are all test apps. I tried flashing various ROM's with the same result. I had this happen to me before and it took 24 hours before things returned to normal so I am calling it a night.

So i still have to talk with him huh. (nope havent tried there yet prolly do that next). one more thing though, what if i just use odin to flash to stock, would that undo everything he did? if not, might it also help fix the market issue?

Yeah it seems that way. To be honest that should have been your first stop to find the answer as most issues are posted and fixed there. If you flash with odin to the correct firmware then yes it will. What firmware did you have?

[Q] Apps are not installing after going CM10.1.3 -> CM 10.2

Hi guys,
The title might not be the best but I do not know how to explain it better in few words.
The problem is the following: I was using CM 10.1.3 without any problem and I wanted to update to CM 10.2. So I deleted data, dalwik and cache. I flashed CM 10.2 two or three times and then I flashed the corresponding gapps. I booted to the main screen and waited if my applications will download automatically (as they did when I was upgrading from CM 9 to 10). It have been two days already and still nothing eventhough on the Google Play it says that I have the affected application installed.
Any idea, trick or hint please?
Thank you,
N.

But you use the Gapps to CM 10.2 and not for CM 10.2 ,right???

I tried signing off Google account completely yesterday and then I singed in. After few hours I tried doing it again (signing off and in). But no luck until now.
I tried deleting the data and nothing new happened.
Just to let you know one thing (if it makes any difference). I tried to install a new application from Google Store (which I have never had installed on my device and my account) remotely (from within web pages). It starts to download on my phone immediately. Secondly - which is weird - I am able to download applications which were not available previously for my country.

hmmm strange you can download apps from other countries... maybe try a factory reset and see what happens? not sure what else you could do?

I had the same issue, just had to reboot

I think that you have tested with a reboot like willian7 ,right??? It is really strange, of course you can download apps from other countrys ...

Is there a way how to completely delete the device and flash from scratch so that all the temporary and rom version specific files are deleted? Something like when you would reinstall a PC OS.

One idea could be starting from 2.3.5/2.3.6 via odin and then go to CM 10.2 ....like you say as an "new begin" hope it would help ...

By the way, I can see in your signature that you are running CM11. Can it be used on a "production" device? I mean I would need it to work (at least phone, SMS, email, internet) without any problems? The reason why I am asking is that it might be easier to try to upgrade than to downgrade and reinstall. Maybe it is even safer. Or is it trouble free to downgrade?
Thanks again and yes, I will hit the buttons

CM11 is actually in Alpha (=UNOFFICIAL) Status, but for me it works stable...but as I said for me it is only my opinion ...a list of the know bugs can you find here:

kernel

i just downloaded an elemental x kernel
how do i flash it on my htc one m7
and is a rom necessary to be flashed before flashing the kernel.
can i only flash the kernel without flashing any rom?

No offense, but if you needed to ask these questions, you're better off not touching anything on your phone

O come on....how is that no offense
Just because you know now about it you are being an arrogant bastard
I'm just trying to learn here. And there was a time you didn't also knew this.
So....grow up or don't comment.

If you wanted to learn, you would have read something before posting those questions. Those are the very basics of flashing and you have about 10 million posts on how to flash anything on any phone. So, who's the arrogant bastard here? Me or you?

I now know the answer no thanks to you
And yes I searched bit couldn't find anything
I can't install the facebook app and I couldn't find anything
Anyway I don't want to fight. You can keep your precious knowledge in your pocket.
And go be arrogant.

I'll answer your second question since its not already written in the OP of elementalX (as opposed to your first question/how to flash)
No you don't need to flash a rom before flashing a kernel as long as you already have a rom installed (because all roms for the M7 comes with their own kernel so if you flash elementalX first and then a custom rom, elementalX will be overwritten by that rom's kernel.) Make sure you chose the right elementalX version for your rom version.:good:

Whats the problem exactly when you try to install it? You are installing it from the play store?

Yes from play store. I also downloaded apk but couldn't install it
I tried wiping cache, I tried deleting and adding my account but no luck
It gives the error 504. I searched the internet.
There was one guy who said fix permissions but still nothing
I restored my Android and tried installing facebook but still nothing
It worked perfectly on the roms before but suddenly it stopped working.

If it worked fine on all previous roms then it might be a problem with your actual rom....
Try to wipe your cache from recovery or wipe Google play and Google services cache

Yes I tried wiping cache (google play store , google play services , TWRP)
I also wiped dalvik cache
BUT still nothing
Yes I searched on 504. And I tried different internet connections but still nothing

Facebook worked fine on this rom before but now I cannot install it.

Arrogance aside, I just tried to download facebook and it gave me the same error but it installed fine. It must be something with play store or facebook app. You can use facebook lite untill the real facebook works

It's been a month I can't install it. I gave facebook feedback but still.
