For some reason my Nexus One running FRF85B is unable to install or uninstall any apk's. It just hangs at the installing... or uninstalling... respectively. Has anyone else ever seen that?
Installing has always been really darn quick. Now it just appears to be hanging.
EDIT: Adding new symptom: "Manage Applications" shows the apps installed , but their space is forever listed as "Computing...". It's like the manage applications service is just hosed.

I have seen that as well. I would have to exit (back or home) then when I got back to the applications screen again it wouldn't have to load at all.
Same here, AT&T Nexus One using FRF85B.
The weird thing is, the app(s) actually DO uninstall or install correctly, just that the Market page shows it's not, and hangs at it.
When I force stop the market, then relaunch and check my downloads, they're now reset to the correct info.
Well I'm glad it is not just me. Thinking it was a bad ROM I reinstalled (with complete wipe) Modaco's ROM, then stock Froyo, etc.
Problem went away when I just said screw it and installed CM 5.0.8.
The only problem that persists now is the server error going to the downloads tab of the market. I can't seem to lick that one even though apps download and install fine from the market.
On a side note CM5.0.8 still is snappier than Froyo. I'm salivating at the thought of CM6.
If anyone is also getting persistent errors with the market downloads tab, please chime in. I find it suspicious that I'm having this problem regardless of which ROM is installed.

No matter what I do I still get the server error in the Android Market application when I go to the downloads tab.
I've re-flashed the Froyo Radio and tried both CM 5.0.8 and Froyo.
I don't see others complaining about this so I have to imagine there's something wrong on my end. I just don't know how to diagnose it. Does anyone have any ideas? At All?

I did see that in the CM 5.0.8 ROM, but Froyo is a complete no-go. I've reflashed the radio, and have been using Modaco's ROM because it is the only one I know of that is just a rooted update I can flash with Amon-RA's recovery, but still no luck.
This is scary.
UPDATE
I went all the way back to Stock, Unrooted 2.1 from January, and still get the server error in the downloads page of the Market app. So for giggles, I wiped, created a new gmail account, and lo and behold, everything works. I could download apps, and they showed up in the download tab as installed.
That pretty much puts an end to thinking it's an app/ROM/radio problem, I think.
I then wiped again, went through initial setup with my primary Google account and I'm back to server errors on the downloads tab.
I guess maybe it really IS a server error. Don't know what I can do about it, except gripe...but at least I can stop scratching my head over what ROM/Radio is installed.
After several days of experimenting, the fact is that on any Froyo rom, whether it's stock or rooted, google's or cyanogen's, wiped or not wiped, new gmail account or existing gmail account, what I'm seeing is that, even if I wipe, go into Android and DO NOT enter a google account, going straight to settings | Manage Applications | running applications, shows "Computing..." forever.
Now, if I do a full wipe, it doesn't know anything about my account, right? And the cache, and all that are all wiped. So, what could possibly cause the infinite "Computing..." in the apps?
Does anyone know?
It happened to me as well last night. I was installing an apk (updating over an older version), and it showed "Installing...." forever. No hardware button gave me any response and I eventually had to reboot the machine by pressing the 3 buttons (luckily this worked. I really hate the thought of pulling the battery out...). After the reboot I tried again and it installed without a problem.
I m on a stock Nexus One FRF91, never hv an issue b4 that latest system update. Looks like it is bringing more issues to me...
what 3 buttons reboot the phone?
The same thing is happening to me. When trying to install any market app, it just hangs at "installing. I have to reboot the phone to get it to stop doing it.
Every once in a while, about 1 out of 15 times, I can get an app to install correctly and quickly, but all the other times it hangs.
It started happening when going to froyo. I have tried several different froyo mods and the same thing happens on all of them. When I nandroid back to 2.1 it is fine.
It happens to me with the Rodriguezstyle mod, the Kang-O_rama mod and the evil n-one shot Noir mod.
In order to fix this issue. You MUST do the following steps:
1. Wipe the SD card.
2. Wipe ext partition (if there)
3. Delete spareparts if you have it ANYWHERE on the system
4. Reboot the system into recovery
5. Wipe all cache's
Tada! Fixed!
This fixed it for me on Kang-O-Rama.
I belive the problem is when moving ROMs and the new app2SD feature stores files on the SD. When moving ROM's, it try's to scan them but fails. Something is stuck in a loop and wont stop .
When taking out the SD card, it ALL works flawlessly (give it a go if you need to install some apps to help)

Press the trackball, volume down and the power button all at the same time.
If you have root then the app quick boot is a one click solution.
When I was or do have a stalling at the install. I clear the market data and this works for me. I also try to keep the cache clear.

A couple days ago my phone app started force closing immediately upon opening it every time. It doesn't work at all now. I am rooted, but I rooted weeks ago and this just started yesterday or the day before. I haven't messed with anything. The only thing that I have done is download apps from the play store... None of which 'should' mess with the phone app.
I have since downloaded an alternative dialer app which works, but I'd rather use stock. I tried rebooting, tried clearing the app's cache and data (in system settings - apps) and no luck.
Any help would be great. Either finding/fixing the issue or a way to reinstall the stock phone app? I am rooted and I believe write protection is off, which I had to do to install busybox. Thanks!

What version are you on. 4.2.2 or 4.4
There is a couple things i would try i have had to do it with other phone specially my old S3
1. restore from a backup when i the dialer was not FC
2. try reinstalling the dialer from the APK located here device/system/prvi-app/dialer.apk
3. pull the dialer.apk out of the correct stock ROM or recover img and replace the one located in the above folder and install it.
but to be honest option one is normally the best way to go and the fastest.
Thanks. I'm on 4.4. I'm going to try option 2 when i get home. I'm not exactly sure how to restore a backup on this phone yet being that i dont really have a recovery.
Edit: option 2 installed ok, but still force closes
let me get you the .apk from the restore img give me about a hour to download it and get you a link
also do you know how to use titanium backup if so i would install it and back up all user apps and data because you might have to do a factory reset. but if you backup with TB you and restore everything right back to ware you was
I have a MotoX on KK 4.4 rooted.
Recently (since it started bugging about the 4.4.2 OTA update) I notice that occasionally and seemingly randomly, the device with make the animation for switching apps. The active app (even the home screen) fill fade out, then back in again. it almost appears as if the App is switching to something else that is NOT displayed, then back again.
Apps react to this as if the app was suspended and reactivated (Games pause, emails and websites refresh, etc).
I thought it may be something I added from rooting, i.e. Xposed, but I uninstalled all root apps and the behavior persists.
Any advice?
I never had that, I have an rooted and bootloader unlocked Moto X, Gravity Box and other frameworks enabled, I thing the best you could do is to reset your phone, and maybe re-do de update.
Bumping thread.
Update: I tried resetting my phone back, and it went away, but as soon as it started trying to push the 4.4.2 update (which fails to install anyway) the problem returned.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Sometimes when there is modified system files, the OTA update will fail. And to restore this files, maybe the best option is returning to your Stock Android (the same version you are using at the moment), guide here, works flawlessly: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515)
And then trying to do the OTA update, remember that soon we'll get 4.4.3, so maybe this bug could be fixed.
UPDATE:
Nevermind. I solved the problem. Jusy installed Bad Boyz Sprint Sense 6 rom and everything now works alot better.
After having boatloads of problems that came out of the blue, I had to RUU my Sprint M7 back to stock. Luckily that fixed everything it seems. All except the camera app. I could open the app. But it would do nothing but stay frozen for a few seconds and then crash. I had previously been using the Jishnu camera mod. So I flashed it. It showed that it flashed successfully. But after rebooting, the camera was completely missing. The camera apk was in the system apps folder. But it was nowhere to be found in Settings or anywhere else.
So I went a step further and installed a stock Sprint M7 deodexed rom. That brought the camera back. But it was the same problem all over again. Frozen. Would not work at all. Installing the camera mod changed the icon to a green Android bot. When clicking the icon, it would show "App isn't installed" or something similar.
Next I went into app settings and cleared the data under "HTC Sense". That seemed to reset the home screen. And the camera app icon was completely gone once again.
Is there some way to fix this problem? I don't really get why this is happening, even after re flashing the whole OS. I am familiar with manually moving files into the system directory. But not sure how to set permissions.
Phone is rooted.
I have downloaded kingroot and have used it to remove some system apps. Because it is a temporary root, I have to reroot it every once in a while. One time, after being rooted, it began spamming the screen with error messages that the play store and other apps stopped running. I rebooted the phone and the root and the problem were gone. I tried to root again and I had the same problem. This time when I tried to restart the phone, I had to put it in that mode where you hold the power and volume down buttons and restart the bootloader and then power down and then power up. For now I have deleted the kingroot app, but there are still files that won't go away. How can I get rid of these? Also what suggestions do you have if I decide that I want to pay for sunshine in the future? What app should I use instead to get to where I can use sunshine?

See the post I made on your other thread for instructions on how to remove Kingroot.
The latest version of Sunshine requires no other apps to unlock the Turbo.
