Have you tried to download the app more than once? It can take up to 8-10 times for certain app to download..
Also, are you trying to install them on your external? If so, move your downloads to internal.
EDIT: Here comes the stupid question.. Do you have a gmail account?? and if so, is it setted up on your phone.

Yes I do have a gmail account and yes I'm installing to internal. im not that much of a newbie

RE: HELP!
also ive tried install apps from market and from external in all kinds roms. it never works
PS: love your signature i have tried that rom and i LOVE it but i cant use it because of this issue. :'(

What about your android id

? is that my email?
if it is my email is @gmail.com not google mail

No, and I can not say for certain this is your issue but every device had a id that can be changed from time to time when flashing roms.
You said you cleared market cache and data in manage applications?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

yea i cleard data and cache many times in lots of roms. Cleared Market, google talk, download manager, google framework service....

What rom are you on
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

right now im on stock 2.1 cause that the only rom i can install apps on but i was on firefly 2.4, then tried continuum 4, and apex and andromeda

Download an app from the market called android id changer.
Open app
Click save id
make sure you back up app using titanium
Next time you flash open app
Click load id
Click change
Phone will reboot
No guarantee this works but it is worth a shot

I am not sure what you mean
If you are asking can you restore the app on 2.2, yes
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

no i mean can i back up my stock rom and data using clockworkmod backup, so that i can restore it later if this doesn't work

You can do a backup through clockwork, this will back everything up, buy you would still need to flash sick first then restore backup in order to get it back. You can not respite the 2.1 backup directly onto 2.2

thanks ill try that now

ugh these roms take so long to download!

Can not help you there

i cant get to clockworkmod i installed it with rom manager and gave rom manger root privs and i press reboot to recovery and it just goes to stock recovery. and when i press install update it says signature not verified!

[Q] Finallly rooted my N1 - so what is next for a new ROM?

Well after having my N1 for two years (I bought it on launch day) I finally got up the never to root it using this process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
Had a few heart stopping moments as the script hung until I realised that while I had download the SDK to get the USB driver I hadn't actually installed the driver for the phone.
Confirmed that it was rooted by downloading Titanium Backup and doing a backup.
For a new ROM (as yet undecided) is a Titanium Backup good enough or should I also do the cyanogenmod clockworkmod recovery?
Should I be able to restore my apps and settings after the new ROM using the Titanium Backup?

You wanna do a Nandroid or Full Image Backup with Clockwork. Titanium is just as you said apps and data. Although, I think CWM has a system bu option. Don't use CWM anymore use Amon_Ra. So not up on steps. The post 3.0 CW's have had issues and are documented.
You can restore apps and data at any time with Titanium, but I think to do system stuff you need to be restoring to same rom.
I highly recommend Nandroids and sdcard backups before doing any new flashing.
Start with CM7 roms the stable ones, then move on. Read OP pages fully and scan threads front to back for info/problems etc

But i hv read many ppl complaining abt the problem with their sd card partition due to cwm? ??
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

use the pre 3.0 versions

Let's try Amon_RA Recovery
Best recovery by far. Never any issues. Been using this version for months and months. Perfect with flashing, backing up, restoring, and partitioning.

are you experienced with fastboot commands adb etc

The downside with Amon_RA is it doesn't give you the option to wipe the /system partition. I have stuck with a pre-3.0 version of ClockworkMod for this reason. There is a new recovery out there called 4EXT that is based on ClockworkMod, but doesn't have the issue with corrupting partitions. He has also added a TON of new features. This does seem to be the best on out there now. He even just released a touch-based version. The thread is in the development section.

[Q] Flashed 'We want ICS' ....couldn't wait !!!

Hi guys,
I am tired of waiting for the official ICS update and went ahead and flashed the 'We want ICS' rom and it is GREEEEAT. I made a backup but just want to know if I can get all the apps I had before if I restore the backup or will it take me back to GB. I am on Android 4 now so do I restore or no? I did it using ROM manager

Coming from GB to ICS, it's probably best to download your apps again or install apps only if you have a Titanium Backup.

Using Titanium Backup is not recommended...might cause problems in ROM and ud have to reflash. Install all apps again its the best way.

It's probably a NAND backup you did. This backup contains images of all the partitions of your old ROM. So if you restore, it will restore GB as it was when you did the backup. To restore only your apps you should have used an app like Titanium Backup.
Edit : If you really want to restore you apps you can still restore GB from your Backup, install Titanium Backup, make a backup of your apps and flash again We Want ICS in which you will then be able to restore your apps (Edit 2 : you should use compro01's method, it's faster)

2 options
1. redownload your apps - Easiest way is once you have the play store functioning on the device, just go to https://play.google.com/apps, log in, and wail on the install buttons.
2. if you don't want to do that (e.g. excessive drain on transfer cap and no wifi available) or can't for some reason (e.g. app was removed from the store, but you still want it, like the tricorder (CBS are assholes)), open up the backup folder (/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[nameofbackup]. This is most easily accomplished on a computer rather than on the device) and open the data.[filesystem].tar file. All the apks for the installed apps are in the apps folder. system apps are in same folder in the system.[filesystem].tar file, but you're probably not interested in anything in there.
Just copy out the apks you're needing, and install away. You may need to turn on "install from unknown sources" under the development options.
Note that neither of these methods will preserve your settings from your apps nor any of their other data (saved games, passwords, etc.). if you have stuff you need for some reason, you'd need to go through the above mentioned 3rd option of backing up your current WWICS install, then restoring your previous ROM, backing up all your relevant apps with Ti or another app, restoring your backup of the WWICS ROM, and using Ti/whatever to restore the backed up apps, all whilst hoping that restoring apps from different bases doesn't break things too horribly.

Check to see what filters are in use, if any. If you set a filter to show only uninstalled apps you should see your backups.

Ahh.... I'll have a look next time I flash a new rom
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

You must be very carefull when using titanium backup and changing roms,since you are coming from GB to ICS thats a completly new and different version of OS and may have problems when restoring too many apps, I suggest that you restore backups one by one app, so if you get some Fc's you can see which app is to blame,and definitly do not restore any settings or system apps

I use Titanium Backup

I use My Backup and it is great. I have found no problems restoring all my apps between different roms.
And if you need to you can either restore the app or app and data

Titanium back up question....Storage!!

hey
ive been told when using titaium to backup all apps and system data but when it comes to restoring it all, that it should be installed as apps and data only,is that corrent?
Okay i have a external sd card which is only like 3gb, now when you flash roms etc and have to restore stuff back, what exactly is Titanium backing up? is it backing every single thing except the sd card? will all my data within apps remain when i restore? so all my photos, icons, bookmarks etc etc
iam so confused as the app does not specify things in catogories.
cheers.

It backups your application and data(passwords or data entered in application) just like you had it before flash another rom. It will not backup ur photos, songs, icons but it will backup the bookmarks.

Even it remains untouched on internal SD card, it won't erase during wiping cache, wiping data (except you specifically select to format USB storage), Flashing.

TB can even backup your contacts/call history, data usage and many others too, all you have to do is to backup particular app and while restoring, just restore "data only". I have tried it for same ROM version, not sure if it will work inter ROM as well

hey jeetu! lol
you now ive still not flashed rom cause each time i see insructions, someone says somethin different lol. although you guys in this thread have always helped me.
ive had a go with gobackup pro and it really does everything, like contacts and bookmarks, your pictures, music, whatever you select it will back up. now that ive learned that my internal sd and ex sd will not be touched, iam not so paronoid about leaving everything in my internal sd as ive got over 10gb of space their. i just thought once ive backed up, ill have to move everything to ex sd due to me doing wipes and flashing roms, it would all be removed LOL.
BUT i do have a question, when i go into settings and click into storage, under internal storage it says ive got over 649mb of apps installed, now under internal sd it says 423mb. NOW is the apps installed under internal just all the system apps that come with the rom? and is this what will be removed when i do the full wipe etc?

Hey!!
One is system ROM it should be around 900 MB in total and almost consumed unless you remove some apps from system, this space is used by system apps included in the ROM and will stay even if you wipe the device. (you cannot see this in settings, use TB for it)
The one you are talking about is Internal storage (aroung 2 GB) and is used for apps you download from play store or from SD card. These apps will be removed with wipe.

Okayyyy I think I get it now lol...but both the SD storages will stay? They better lol
R u still on stock rom and if so why are you not flashing roms? Always wondered

Yes, SD cards will not be wiped with flashing unless you choose to wipe/format SD cards as Dr.Ketan said. I change ROMS very frequently, tried almost all available custom roms for Note in first 5-10 days . As of now I am using modified version of stock ROM. I have replaced lots of stock apps with modified ones (thanks to the Devs), so no need of custom ROM, but planning to try CM10 soon.

Ha ha ha, i am doing this since long, just difference is never tried custom ROM still.
And that is real our custom ROM.

Indeed , I started doing this when I was using htc HD2 and there was no new ROM left for me to try, lol

So what are the best Rome to try??? Rocketrom v10 seems good and that criskelo one but will I loose all system apps? Also can I use netcore v13 with both Roms if I choose to try both of them...or do I need abyess kernal?
I don't like the look of the stock launcher icons in TW so I guess ill have to change launchers unless I can find a rom where I can change my icons and stuff

Both of these Roms are good and include almost all stock apps, you can use Notecore with them, no need to flash Abyss kernel. You can use Go launcher EX if you don't like the icons as these roms are also TW based and will have same icons .
Try CM based roms if you want to try something new.

CM roms OK I will look for v9 since 10 is not out yet. So netcore I can use with also but I must perform full wipe etc...reading all this info just makes my brain go crazy lol your truly helpful

CM10 is out but not stable yet, u can use notecore to wipe and then flash cm9 but do not flash it once you are on cm. Cm uses different kernels and will come with its own.
But better you read rom threads for flashing instructions, either with Notecore or abyss gb.

Lol I've had a gud look but I really don't see any I like so maybe I should just stick with root but I have to say this speedmod kernal with ics stock is much smoother and faster. Would the netcore kernal on my stock rom make it even faster? I've heard gud reviews about it

I'm new as well, from what I understand (and my short experience) you should also make a Nandroid backup before you start messing around in case it all goes to **** at some point. It's basically a snapshot of everything on your phone at that current time.
Boot into recovery and create a backup in there with CWM or whatever you're using. Then I would also copy the backup file over to your computer so you have a safe copy.
To restore just use the recovery again and select restore.
You should only have to use this if something goes wrong though. Or you want to return to your phone's current state at some point.
Although you can restore just the apps and data with this method if you flash a new ROM with the advanced restore option and select restore data from the Nandroid backup you made, Titanium and Carbon are the better option for restoring user data and apps, IMHO.

100% do a backup - I was trying roms and could not get HTC TV to install for some reason - it's your ultimate fallback to your stock settings
