Market app disappeared on Samsung Captivate

I reset my phone to factory setting and now I am missing a couple apps. The 2 that I notice are the Market app and my GMail app. I've done a lot of research and can't figure out how to return these two apps. Anyone have any suggestions?

quote from android market downloading issues FAQ:
Android Market disappearing after Android 2.2 Update We're receiving reports from some users that the Android Market app is disappearing after receiving the Android 2.2 update. We're working with carriers and device manufacturers to resolve the issue and restore your access to Android Market.
In the meantime, if you'd like to resolve the issue immediately, we recommend performing a factory data reset on your device. Please note that this will reset your device to its original state, and while your media content (photos, music, etc.) will not be deleted from the SD card, applications and their related data will be uninstalled. To perform a factory reset:
Go to Home > Menu > Settings > Privacy
Press "Factory data reset"
Press "Reset phone"
Your phone will restart, and after everything resets you'll be able to access Android Market again. Note that in some devices the "Factory data reset" option may be located under a different menu item, such as Phone Storage.

You'll need Root Explorer to do that.
And you'll need root, like TRus mentioned.

Or if you have ADB, you could extract the market and gmail .apk's and adb install them to your phone.
Good luck!
~Gemuse

yes it is rooted. I dont know what adb is, can you explain? I'll do some research also.

that first guide is by me so hit the thanks...
or get a root file explorer program off the market for free,
get the app "SGS Tools" use it to "run script" > mount system RW
drop the apps in /system/apps/ with your explorer app
use "SGS Tools" again to "run script" > mount system RO
or buy the app root explorer. it has the RW RO button built in. so no run script....
or flash a custom rom..
or try a factory reset again...

^ A simple reflash of the ROM cleared up the problem of the missing apps for me.
Went from GR-12 to Subpression 3 and had the missin app problem...reflashed Subpression 3 and was good to go and then updated to 3.2 and no problems there either.
edit: I realize the OP said they reset their phone to factory settings, but I thought I'd leave my post anyway just incase someone flashed a custom ROM and experienced this problem.

I just had this issue after installing a theme and simply extracted the GR12 files on my SD card and installed the Market and vending apks.

HELP!

So here's my problem. I successfully flashed my Galaxy S GT-I9000 to ICS Infinitum but I have a problem. I tried installing apps which is root required but my phone says I need to root my phone in order to use that app but when I check, I have superuser access. I can't even see my sim contacts. And I tried disabling 2g but 3g won't come up. How will I fix this? I wanted to post this to Infinitum thread but system won't allow me because I'm a newbie. Please help

Go to recovery mode and wipe data and cache

EDIT: Thank you. I have my 3g working now And with the root problem, I went to superuser preferences and allow it always. Thanks dude! Is there a way to go back to my old gallery? I like the 3d gallery.

I had a bug on CM9 where Superuser permissions wouldn't pop up, going into superuser and changing the setting to automatically allow worked, but I don't recommend doing this for obvious security reasons.

Did you find something weird about the camera? I think mine is a little bit dark. And yes I know about that superuser permission. But the thing is, you wouldn't install that app if you don't want it to be allowed right? Of course you always allow those apps that you want to install that's why I set it to 'always allow'
EDIT: Is there a way to set my notification tone and ringing tone?
Funny. Can't even send a message. Can't add recipients. Tch

Make "Fix permissions" in the recovery.

Good to hear that is working now!=)
If you mean Android's stock gallery, I attach it. Download it to your sdcard.
Download File Manager (Rhytm Software).
Then open it-->settings-->scroll--->check root explorer-->click yes--->check Mount system folders.
Now copy that .apk to system/app and reboot.

for simple solution go to recovery and clear cache and delvik-cache and install same nightly or any other rom which you are using . Thats it.
And Make Sure next time you dont ask such noob question in Development thread go to Q/A thread and post there this kinda silly stuff.

try updating again, just because it is up to date, updating it will force it to be recognized again (not sure if I worded this correctly) the fix app does same thing

Superuser don't have a problem but it's a global root access problem I guess

It's the same.
SU confirm that my release is up to date, but I force the update at the bottom, he download it but he can't obtain the root access
:crying::crying::crying::crying:

Maybe try SuperSU. Its a different SU app.

Have you checked the options in Superuser? If you swipe over to the left there is an info tab with "temp u root". You should check that out...

I downloaded the file, but even on my windows desktop, he told me that the file is corrupted
Same thing on the tablet, bad file, can't open.
Please, could you re upload ?

I found on google, I installed but doesn't works

I'd take a full nandroid backup, then reinstall CM9 completely and see if that fixes your issue. If it doesn't, you'll have the backup to restore to.

[Help] Clear the "New system update available" Notification

Hi,
I have a notification saying "10.1.A.1.434 New system update available". How to remove this from my notification area?
Its there for some days now. I tried tapping on it to open the system update app, clear, swipe it left & right, tried connecting to PC suite, tried rebooting. And the notification still remains. Please advise. My phone have a unlocked bootloader and is rooted

How about clicking on the "clear" button? or swiping that notification to the left/right?

Android application package file (APK) is the file format used to distribute and install application software and middleware onto Google's Android operating system.
Removing it will make the notification update disappear and the software update below about phone will be gone as well.
1) Go download Titanium Backup
2) Go into the app, scroll down till you find "UpdateCenter.apk"
3) Backup the app, and then remove it.
4) Reboot your phone.

Thanks, that did the trick... Does this affect my other apps from play store. Like, Wont they update themselves (manually/automatically)?

Actually, you can remove it by opening the notification/status bar ( slide from top to bottom ), then open app info and force stop.
The notification will not appear again until the next reboot. You just have to do it once after every reboot.

thats the playstore, i dont think they are related.

For anyone who is interested, the service to stop, freeze, or remove is Google Services Framework.

I just did it - go to Settings / Apps / All and scroll down to Update Center. Remove the Show notifications tick and confirm. That's it!

Just freeze 'System update' from titanium backup (or similar apps).
This is the only %100 solution.

Is it safe to uninstall Software update app, guys? I have only basic Titanium Backup on my rooted Z, so there is no freeze option for me. I've removed some of Sony bloatwear (What's New etc.), and lately there is notification about available updates after every reboot. Force stop solves the issue temporarily, and Show_notification box is uncheckable. In my view, this app shouldn't have any major purpose left, since OTA updates are archived for us... Cheers.

[Q] Something wrong with Play Store or my phone?

Hey guys, I have a problem with installing apps on my LG (market and non-market ones).
It basically says when I install them that I have INSUFFICIENT STORAGE AVAILABLE (error); with non-market apps the same and that I need to remove some apps.
I have 6.43GB of Internal Memory left, and 19.6GB of External Memory. It's very strange because I CAN download some apps (even bigger than the one that I can't), but other ones got that error.
Have any ideas? Maybe someone with the same problem?
p.s. I have no ROM installed; I rooted it 2 months ago..

cuz lucky patcher is the issue actually, patches that it had done.
when it patches the app, it creates patched .odex, which you need to manually delete when you update/reinstall the app. i had the same issue, but unfortunately i lost track of the thread with the fix. if i find it again, i'll post it.
edit:
try this: "Troubleshooting->Remove fixes and backups (to update app)" in lucky patcher.
i manually removed these .odexes, but this should work too. good luck.
edit2:
found the manual solution: http://kacnje.blogspot.com/2012/10/android-error-insufficient-free-space.html
sretno!

Just launch Lucky Patcher, the program will delete those files automatically. It works for me.

****, you weren't supposed to delete all of them, just the one from the app that wasn't installing. you need those other .odex files for system to function properly ><. do you have any backup at all? if not, you'll probably need to flash kdz file again (good news is, i don't think you'll lose any of the data or settings).

Just search for it in the General section, I bet you will find what you need.

Shouldn't missing .odex files be rebuilt automatically on reboot? At least that's what's happening after a factory reset (which, amongst others, also deletes al .odex files), and after a wipe of the Dalvik cache (which does exactly that: delete all .odex files).
Being stuck at boot, as you write, try this:
Boot into recovery
Select to "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Reboot
After the next boot, the entire Dalvik cache should be rebuilt. Of course this requires a custom recovery to be installed (stock recovery doesn't offer to "wipe dalvik cache"; here you had to do a factory-reset, which would also delete all your apps and data).

I used this method:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723&highlight=flash+kdz+files
so I updated my firmware and now have 4.1.2 JB and everything works fine :victory:
thanks for helping! :good::good:

I wish there were some such flashing tools available for the P880 on Linux. But as much as I've google'd around, I could not find anything. Anybody tried the toolkit available here on XDA for the P990? Can it be used for the P880 as well?
