[Q] Purchased apps can´t be installed after installing custom rom - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello and thanks in advance for any help, that will fix my problem.
I unlocked the bootloader of my One yesterday via htcdev.com, used fastboot to flash the cwm-recovery and the right boot.img for the custom rom.
After installing the custom rom (I tried Android Revolution and Maximus with the right boot.img), I am able to do almost everything, except downloading purchased apps from the android play store.
For example, I purchased AppMonster Pro, which gets an error, after downloading from the market, which says, that it was unable to install it on my sd-card. Sometimes it says "play service" has ended.This happens to all purchased apps and games.
When I try to install AppMonster Free, it works. I downloaded about 20-30 free games and apps with no problems.
I searched the Internet for this error, where most of the people say, that I have to format the internal sd-card, but I haven´t found out, how to do that and I´m not sure, if that would help because the folder(which includes the file that might be the problem) .android_secure has been wiped before every custom rom installation.
Any ideas?

Have you tried a different version of play store?

I didn´t try that. How do I have to do this?
My Build-Version is 3.10.14. Which Version should I try?

I reinstalled the play store, with no effect.
I tried a workaround which worked for me, but the problem isn´t solved.
I installed *.apk of the purchased app from a backup, after moving it to a folder of my internal sd-card.
Now the purchased apps are installed and usable, but an update won´t work, with the same error (can´t be installed on the sd-card...)
I don´t know why and hope, that someone can help me to fix my problem.

The problem has been found in the custom rom from the devs. Installing a newer rom will fix the problem.

Ive installed custom rom with 4.2.1 same as my stock rom
though custom rom has change build type etc
now none of asec files in .android_secure are detected
is there a way to manually install them?

[Q] Installation of Youtube unsuccessful

Hello All,
I used to be on RoDrIgUeZsTyLe MUIU rom and bunch of other custom roms. Every rom has its ones pros and cons but were not very stable. So, I thought I will go back to stock. So, I flash stock rom and stock recovery and received OTA update and installed the updates. Now my phone is on the below version.
Android Version 2.2.1
Build Number - FRG83D
Market Version - 2.12
Baseband Version - 32.26.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
I was able to successfully download and install many apps but whenever I try to download YouTube I always get "Installation of Youtube unsuccessfull" message. Also, I researched and saw that some people in Europe on Vodafone rom are having this issue. How do I know if my android version is totally stock?
Do you guys have any ideas on how I can successfully install this app without having to root my phone again? I would like to stay stock and unrooted if possible.
Thanks.
use titanium or manually uninstall the current youtube app, reboot then try to install again. Its because its a system app currently. youll probably have to do the same for car home, street view and a few others
I am un rooted, so I won't be able to use titanium. how do I uninstall manually though? I didn't have any issues installing other apps like street view etc.
Make sure the app is installed on your phone, and unmount the SD before updating...

I tried un mounting SD card and installing and still that didn't work. Thanks for trying to help though.
Try uninstalling the old version of YouTube first.

....if you do not have root access how were you flashing an miui rom?
I was getting the exact same thing as you were, all you need to do is remove the old youtube app
good luck
Thanks for the responses. Like I said in my post I was rooted before but un rooted and went to complete stock 2.2.1. I know uninstalling youtube would resolve this issue but I am trying to find a way to uninstall the app without being rooted.

3rd party apps problem

Hello guys, I have a problem:
I have installed a RR Rom on my phone and since some days I cant install 3rd party apps that i have on my SD Card. I mean some of them I can and some not(mostly games). When I try to install an APK I touch install and after less than a second it says ''App not installed''.
I tried to format system,cache,data,dalvik and the rest. I tried to use bot Dalvik and ART and still same problem.
I have this problem only on the RR Rom... I dont want to change it because I like it a lot.
Any solutions ?

Some apps might not be compatible or something else. You are installing .apk, not from Play Store?
The apps are in the play store but with MOD and some of them paid apps

hey, tryed with aptoide, game installed, i got excited! BUUUT
when i left game and open again, i noticed my progress was restarted, went to aptoide to check maybe upgrades, and noticed it instaled older version of game, tryed to update but it just stuck in updating to new version, passed 10 min in installing window, force closed it, now says game is not installed but its still in applications list, cant uninstall aswell, stuck in uninstaling. this is so wierd .
At this point, you must re-install the first version that you installed with Aptoide.. If you can't check it, go to ".aptoide" by file explorer and there's a folder wich contains apks!

app download gives -505 error code

I have 3 apps that when I try to download (after flashing a rom) that give me an "unknown error code during application install -505"
Thoughts?
I've cleared cache and data and forced stopped the play store...
I've checked to see if any folders or files are in root or in data/data and I found some and deleted but nothing. Still won't download.

i had one that got that code. what i did to fix this is i found that app using google(not play store), installed it that way, then uninstalled it via the pkay store, then reinstalled it in the play store.
Yea I'm getting that problem with Terminal Emulator for Android by Jack Palevich. Not sure what the deal is. Aggravating since ROM Toolbox Terminal FC, and another that I've tried. Rastapop with leanKernel.
Last time that happened to me I fixed it by using Root Explorer (any file manager with root access should work tho) and deleted the "com.appname......" file from data/data partition from system root level, not SD.
Then went back to Play Store and installed fine.

I found the location, but not the app that supposedly downloaded and didn't install. App is Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich.

Yes, it's a -505 error. That's the only app I've had that problem with, though I don't download too many. I just want a terminal app to use with leanKernel so I can access lkconfig. I am thinking it might have something to do with me being on rastapop which is 5.0.1, what version and/or ROM are you using?
@saddog5523 I'm on euphoria beta, about to dirty flash to the latest version 1.0 off beta.
This -505 sucks...
had this happened a few days ago. had to restore a twrp backup. in mycase, it was some frozen/degreenified app

I have no twrp backup of the play store or my apps.
Strangely the download happens from the play store, it's the install that hoses up. Making me think I have some file somewhere shettin bricks on the install.
I feel like I've tried everything.
Well. My main issue was with Terminal Emulator for Android by Jack Palevich. I clean flashed the new 5.0.1 and wiped/factory reset my device. Still had the same 505 error. It was crazy aggravating. I Google'd it to see if anyone else had the same issue, and found out that it was a permissions issue: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...deal-with-unknown-installation-error-code-505
Every time I tried to access the baked in terminal emulator within Rom Toolbox Lite, it would force close the app. I got aggravated at Rom Toolbox Lite and uninstalled it, and while I was in the play store, decided to try Terminal Emulator for Android again. This time it worked. I uninstalled Terminal and installed Rom Toolbox Lite to test my new theory, and found that the two apps do not play well with each other for some reason. Even when I try to install Rom Toolbox Lite after I already have Terminal installed, it would give me the same 505 error. Apparently I can have one or the other, which honestly makes no sense at all.
I'm guessing that error could be fixed (possibly) by uninstalling applications that have the same feature. i.e. Terminal Emulator for Android and Rom Toolbox Lite. One of the apps you have installed might be causing the error in trying to install another app. Hope this helps someone with the same issue.

Thanks I will have to try this tonight.
Are you running 5.0.1 ? I had this issue with an app when I first got my phone and with some research found out the problem was apparently fixed in the 5.0.1 OTA, well it fixed it for me. This is one of the changes that fixes it.

Are you running the stock ROM?
The problem is explained here in more detail. You basically have to uninstall whatever is conflicting with the app install. A logcat should be able to tell you where the conflict is.

Thanks. Yes, I'm running the stock ROM and not rooted. It's basically just out of the box and with the 5.0.1 OTA update. The conflict is between Pure Calendar Widget and GTasks. If I uninstall one app, the other will install. But if I try to install _both_, I get the 505 error. Is there any way around this? The post you linked to says that this has been fixed in 5.0.1, but it doesn't look like that to me.
Thanks!

I honestly think it's something either the developers will have to work out in a new version of their app, or Google will have to fix in a new phone update. Whichever comes first. 5.0.1 was supposed to fix it, but like you and I and others have noticed, it's still a problem. You're just going to have to use one or the other for now.
so, what you're saying is we're pretty much SOL until it is actually fixed...
the thing is, google is saying they fixed it on 5.0.1
if it's not actually fixed then people who can report it, should report it...
I do not have the permissions or "prestige" to post on StackOverFlow or code.google.com to say that the bug has not been fixed...

Custom Rom 5.1.1

I'm looking for a custom ROM, I used rootjunkys method for root, remove ads, google play, replace launcher etc. All worked well. Thanks for much for the awesome script!
However since doing that, facebook and chrome etc become really laggy and unresponsive.
Did a google search and other people have same experience.
Been reading about and you can't get recovery on 5.1.1 (because of locked bootloader is it?)
So... If I get a custom ROM, can I flash it via this flashfire app, will it work? I don't want to brick my new tab.
Cheers guys!
If in 5.1.1, flashfire is the only choice to flash ROMs.
Answers to all your questions/procedures can be found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/help/help-thread-question-noob-friendly-t3205441. I strongly recommend you read it all if you can.
Just be aware of 5.1.x, there has been some complains about bricking devices.

Cheers! Managed to install CM, but Gapps won't install even though it says successful. Tried multiple times now :/
Make sure you follow the procedure, how to use Flashfire should be located under "Device Tools, Root/Un-root/Un-brick methods" on previous link.

make sure system is set to read/write in flashfire and that you're flashing the pico version of gapps
Fixing GApps
Re-flash Gapps from your Cyanogenmod install (Don't wipe or anything, simply flash the gapps you want again with auto-mount disabled, but the second option to mount enabled. I had the same issue and it's fixed, the only issue I have now is I'm unable to install Google Play Games)

Yeah mounting as read and write worked a treat thanks!
I had the exact same problem, error 505 when trying to install play games. And some games wouldn't work without it installed.
What I did was downloaded an apk extractor on my phone, got the apk for games, sent it to my fire and installed it manually.
Hope that helps
