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.
Android.process.media has stopped on boot up and also a similar message when trying to get into the cyanogenmod settings. I also noticed that wiping the system, data and cache did not truly erase all the original files and settings from the stock ROM. It connects to my wireless router without prompting for a password and also had my previous wallpaper, which I have since changed in case the file was too large and causing a problem. When I start up I have the following running automatically: Market process and service, Google services both a process and service, CMStats both a process and a service and Android Keyboard both a process and service. Is that correct? Who else is having these issues? BTW, I have 309MB of RAM free.
Tried this with the last stable CM, and nightly builds 85, 86 & 87. Same issues with all. Went into application data and cleared the cache. Cleared the cache isn the market app. Tried to reset permissions as well.
At the moment, I do not have an immediate for the CM settings, but I did install the overclocking file so I would like to try it at some point.
Also, I heard someone resolved the 1st FC by updating the market, but I can't see a way to do that other than reinstall, which I did.
Wiping the data doesn't delete original (stock) apps and settings from the ROM. It only erases and resets any apps or settings you've made personally. Sounds like you have all the correct services running at startup. I'm not really sure what's causing the FC issue. Do you have the newest version of Google Apps?
Have you tried fixing permissions via terminal emulator?
Hello. Today I discovered that my camera stopped working - write camera error and that the camera end. I did a factory reset and restore backup titanium, but restatru gone again. Does anyone know what to do?
when you do the restore are u restoring also the system app ?
pls do wipe factory reset and when you wan restore from titanium choose restore missing apps not restore all the apps try it and it will work
It works! Thanks a lot! I became very desperate, the perception and the subsequent manually reset the settings I stated in despair. You saved me!
Even more so to know what actually happened.
Edit:
Strange, it seems that the problem does freeze applications using titanium backup. But why so suddenly? So far nothing like this happened ... Error Titanium backup? And what happens if you uninstall?
no problem , always when you want to do your backups , don't choose all the apps , choose user apps with data , this will prevent you from backing up your system apps , cuz if u installed new rom , probably not the same system apps will work for it ...
cheers
I'm getting the sameerror message when I try to open my camera app as well. I've factory reset it several times, only restored user apps and data from Titanium but it's still not working. I even tried to replace just the camera app from my Titanium backup with the same results (none).
I recently had a problem with my SGT losing the ability to rotate. After searching Google and the XDA forums I was able to locate a copy of the sensor file I needed to replace the one I had on my Tab. Would the same thing work for the camera - replacing the apk file (same with my GPS )?

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.
Hi
I recently went from ParanoidAndroid to Android Revolution (Full Wipe). After I restored my apps+data (no system data), every single app that I launch force closes "Unfortunately, [app] has stopped".
Clearing the appdata for a particular app causes it to launch but it is essential I have the data.
I tried this solution, however it doesn't work.
I have done a factory restore/wipe, cache wipe, Fix Permissions....no change. Also tried Fix Permissions from ROM Manager.
Does anyone have an idea please!?
[SOLVED]
Managed to fix this myself.
Open titanium backup -> then press "menu" -> preferemces/settings -> backup folder -> search (full device) -> select the folder which has in path /legacy/
