Very Strange Market Problem

A few days ago I updated my Milestone from CM7 RC6 to RC7. Since then i have a big problem with the market.
My apps were stored on the SD card on an ext2 partition. After the update i
wipep the Dalvik and the cache.
Whren i restartet the Phone some apps were not in the drawer.
I created a backup from apps before the Update with Appmonster and i wanted to install them manually, but it doesn´t work. The Apps start to install an i get the Message "App didn´t Installed". I also tried to install them from the Market but when I searched the apps with the Market app they were not found.
Via the web browser I can see them but they will not install. The Webmarket show me that they are allready installed.
Trying to install them anyway does not work. Webmarket says "Device ist not Compatible".
What I have done so far to fix the problem:
- deleted cache and data from Market App
- Market erased and reinstalled.
- tried older version of Market
- Randomly Apps installed and uninstalled
- Complete Wipe
- Android 2.1. flashed
- Android 2.2.1 flashed
- Reinstalled CM7
- Full Wipe and signed in with an other account
- SD card completely deleted and formatted. (FAT und ext)
- trierd other Build.prop
- Android ID changed
The Problem still exist. I hope you have an idea.
(Sorry for my bad English).
(Same Thread in a German Forum: http://www.android-hilfe.de/android...ht-kann-diese-auch-so-nicht-installieren.html)
no nandroid backup ?
No Nandroid (i´m an idiot, i know)
But you broght me to an idea.
I´ll make an nandroid from my daughters Milestone (no Problem with the Market) an Copy it on my Milestone.Maybe it works.

[Q] error insufficient memory?

Hey ppl. I'm getting an "error insufficient memory" problem while trying to update whatsapp. I've already cleared the cache for google play and whatsapp but still it shows up. I installed another app which was 4 MB and that installed fine. So what should i do? The whatsapp update is 9.3 MB and i have 35 MB free on internal memory. Using PAC ROM.

Delete useless apps and wipe dalvik-cache, then try again
I did that already. I have loads of space dude. It's some problem with google play but idk how to solve it. I already cleared the cache for google play but still it's not letting me download.

Extrat the .apk and install it Whatsapp 2.10.361
Oh ok thx. Another problem. I cleared cache & data for google play and google play services. Then I was trying to install doodle jump(20 mb) i still had loads of space. It finished the download and said storage is limited and then "invalid package file" so it didn't download it. I never had this problem before. Is it because of the ROM? I'm using Link2SD also.

well, I guess the problem might be caused by Link2sd, you need to check and to manage correctly the app and your sd-ext partition even the apps you have moved to the sd-ext partition, be careful with the apps you move, some of them need to stay in system partition in order to work properly
my advice?? Don't use sd-ext partition to avoid problems, I'm sure you don't use all your installed apps, so you can try to delete this useless app or install it, use it and do backup with TB and uninstall it, when you need it again use TB to restore the app and data anyway you can continue using your sd-ext partition cofiguring the manager apps correctly, (If I were you I'd use int2ext script, it's the best way to increase your memory without troubles and chaotic configurations )

[Q] whatsapp not updating

Hey everyone. I have a question regarding updating my whatsapp. I have a 2 GB SD card with lots of space and am currently using the PAC ROM by old droid. I have Gapps light.
When i try to update whatsapp it comes to a certain percentage such as 12% then it says installing. Then it stops and gives me an insufficient memory error. I reflashed the ROM and gapps again and still i get the same problem. I also cleared cache for the play store and google play services and tried to update but still get the same error. When i first installed whatsapp it was fine but when i try to update i can't.
Thanks.
i think you should backup ur whatsapp messages then uninstall it , then install the last version of whatsapp
Sent from my legend ACE using tabatalk
I don't mind my msgs getting deleted. I tried that but now i'm not able to reinstall it! For some reason i'm able to install and update other apps which are around the same sise but not whatsapp.
dont install older version and then updating it...try downloading directly from play store and make sure you have enough memory in your phone because whatsapp gets installed in phone memory and not in sd card memory..it doesnt matter if you have enough memory on your sd card..
Doubts kill more dreams than failure ever will..
I had the same problem with whatsup you just have to un-install it and than install it. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] HTC One - Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card

Hey,
I purchased the Swiftkey.
after the update to 4.4.2 it stopped working and after reinstalling He wrote me a message that the installation failed.
Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card

I have searched all over the internet and found two possible solutions, which don't work. These solutions were:
Unmount the SD card. Install app, remount the SD card. This won't work as the HTC One does not have an SD card
In the secure/asec folder, find and delete "smdl2tmp1.asec". Although I found the folder, it was empty and therefore I was unable to delete the file.
*Before update Swiftkey is worked.
This same thing is happening to me on my One with 4.4.2, none of my purchased apps installed before the update appear and I can't reinstall any of them. Tried both of those, didn't work.

Same thing is happening with my HTC one Google play edition 4.4.2.
I did a mass install from the playstore, and all of a sudden i start getting flooded with "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" errors. I looked for the 'smdl2tmp1.asec' file and had no luck finding it.
a df of the system shows free space on all partitions: http://i.imgur.com/4IiVLjy.png
I was able to 'adb install rootexplorer.apk' and it was successfull, but the update from the playstore gives the above error.
I did not understand, you can find the file smdl2tmp1.asec?
And what command you noted in the screenshot you attached?
I'm having the same issue. Updated HTC One GPE to 4.4.2 and noticed that some of my apps were missing. I tried to download again from the Play Store, only to receive the "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" error message popup.
For what it's worth.. I switched to CM 11 4.2.2 (nightlies) and the storage error went away. I would still love to know whats causing the error in the Google play edition rom.
I posted this in another thread but I figured I would repeat it here since there seems to be a lot of people having this problem.
I had tried all of the methods on the web to fix it but none of them applied to the HTC One. The only way I was able to get rid of the error was to flash the 4.4.2 update using the stock recovery. I had tried with TWRP three times but everytime I kept getting that error message with a bunch of my apps.

Yes there seem to be two threads running on this. I have the same problem that I posted on the other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48618286
I too have TWRP so I wonder if it is related to that?
Nick
Update: I was flashed sinlessrom (Google play edidtion 4.2.2) with TWRP, and ran into 0 storage issues. It sounds like it's not related to 4.2.2 directly, but maybe the 4.2.2 OTA update bundled by HTC?
same problem
Just like the first post i bought swiftkey that worked on 4.4 and after the OTA 4.4.2 i can not install it anymore.
Now I want to install threema and it's the same...
can some one verify that it has something to do with apps we bought?
i bought another app... same issue
playstore cache wiped
dalvik wiped
cache wiped
can not find smdl2tmp1.asec which was mentioned in many boards

I had this same problem it effected all my paid apps. I couldn't install on sd card or internal storage from play store, I could restore them from titanium backup but then updates would fail with the same error.
interestingly it didn't happen to me when I updated to ARHD 4.2.2 custom Rom. But a month or so later when my carrier released their 4.2.2 OTA. Which I extracted firmware.zip. from and flashed manually. So maybe it's a firmware issue.
I can't say exactly what fixed it but after trying the usual clearing caches, uninstalling play store updates etc. I decided to do a full wipe. After making a backup with twrp 2.6.3.3 and backup of internal storage to my pc i wiped everything all partitions including internal storage.
Then connected usb in recovery and
unmount all partitions with twrp menu
adb shell
e2fsck -fvy /dev/block/mmcblk0p35
To ensure there were no partition errors on my internal storage. Then adb push and reflashed ARHD clean setup as normal then tried to install my paid apps and it worked. [emoji106][emoji1]
After that I restored all my other apps and setting with titanium and all was right with the world once more
Maybe it needed the clean install after firmware update or maybe there was indeed some type of error with my internal storage but something about that procedure fixed it for me. Hope it helps somebody good luck.
Windows users be aware wipeing your phone this way may cause problems with drivers and adb to fail. Please be carefull !!!! I use Linux so drivers are not a problem for me.

[Q] ExistenZ Ultra 3.1.5

Did a search but could not find this issue and cannot post on dev thread for ROM so i posting here if wrong place i sorry.
OK the issue, after updating to 3.0 of ultra i cant update any apps as it keeps spitting out "Insufficient Storage Available" which is a crock of ..........as i have 1.57GB out of a total of 5.37GB available on internal plus external sd card with 12GB available but not relevant as apps on internal with 1.57GB available. Have updated to 3.1.5 but still the same and also unable to install any apps, yet i have less apps on it now than prior the 3.0 as i was generally running under a GB space before. Memory running at about 300MB out of 840MB
Any help or pointers or criticism for not searching far and wide enough to find a answer gracefully accepted

Clear playstore datas in settings/apps/all
Also reboot a few times, wipe dalvik cache and cache.
No Joy
Thank you kind Sir for your superb roms and your help.
I did as you said but am still having the same problem.
Anything else i can try?
Have you made full wipe before installing eXistenZ??
Have you made backups via CWM Recovery before??
For example I have made a backup with CWM recovery which wasn't seen by other recoveries or system himself.
I had to install CWM recovery once again and only this one seen two backups which take me about more than 2GB internal storage.
After fresh install (with full wipes, also internal storage) fresh eXistenZ + 22 apps which I have installed after I have 4.05GB free space on internal storage and no problems with install anything.
Narrowing it down a bit

Hi thank you for the reply,
I have not used CWM to create backup's i have only ever used Titanium but the issue is slightly different as the amount of free space is correct.
I think i have narrowed it down somewhat as i am able to install apps from Play store that have never been on the phone before the issue appears to be apps that are already on the phone can not be updated, i have uninstalled ones needing updating except for Chrome and NDR Utils as it wont allow me to uninstall them so i have frozen them for time being, i then rebooted and tried to reinstall them but even with them uninstalled it is still spitting out the "insufficient Storage" error
so my thinking is something is being left from uninstalling that is causing the issue as like i said above i can install anything else from Play store that has not been on phone before, for example i installed links2sd after it spat out the insufficient storage error for a previously installed app i tried installing again i have plenty of internal storage available for apps and it letting me install stuff that not been on phone before but wont let me update or reinstall stuff on or has been on phone before.
After doing some searching i found others having similar issues with different phones and roms etc but thus far all the solutions to those have not worked for me.
I know i could just easily wipe and start a fresh but to me thats defeating the object and takes so long even with all the backups etc, it just a real PITA to start afresh so i sooner search,read,beg,ask etc etc and exhaust every other avenue before admitting defeat and wiping.
