[Q] All apps wiped from phone memory

I was uninstalling a few apps from my phone that I no longer needed (including the uninstallation of Google Talk and Google Voice Search using Titanium Backup) and then rebooted my phone. Upon reboot I found that all of the apps that had been installed on my phone memory were gone; included in these were essential Google apps like the Market, Gmail, Maps, and YouTube.
I had made a backup using Rom Manager a couple of weeks ago and had restored my phone; unfortunately, all of my apps were still missing on restore including the aforementioned Google apps. I found a Market apk that I used in order to reinstall all of my apps but the Market continually force closes, even after wiping the data and cache.
I have never encountered anything like this before and hope someone can help me with this issue. If it helps I have a Rooted Nexus One (unlocked) running a stock ROM Android 2.3.6.

"Package file is invalid" problem

Hi,
Yesterday and today I bought some of the apps that were on sale. The problem is, I cannot install them, because after the play downloads them, it says "package file is invalid".
I googled the problem, tried to do what other people recommended to do - wipe cache/dalvik, FC the play store/google services framework and clear data and reboot, nothing worked. I even uninstalled a few big apps (Chrome, Ashpalt, etc) and it didn't work.
I should mention:
1. Free apps are working fine
2. I have a modded play store since I'm currently on a 210 DPI. That means the play store thinks my DPI is 240.
I'm using a rom based on CM10 nightly 23.9.
I hope you can help me,
Thanks!

Use file manager and navigate the root directory which in system/app and look up the one called odex file something like that,Delete it and try install the app again.

That's what I thought to, but I didn't find any odex files in there. Any other suggestions?

have you try to clear the market cache?

Of course, I wrote it down in the first post.
Also tried to remove my google account from the device and then re-adding it.

Oh sorry mate..My bad,Well i did facing this experience once cuz on that time i do upgrading my phone to ics rom,After clearing my cache and some other thing,I notice that the file were in my system/app was the fact that distracting me from installing apps in play store.

Thanks anyway

Cannot install apps?

Device: Moto G (2nd Edition)
Service: Republic Wireless (uses Sprint's network)
Android: 4.4.4
Rooted: no
Issue: As of yesterday, installing apps does not work. If through the Play Store, the download hangs around 90% permanently (I believe it is attempting to install - I have seem it jump from 90% to "installing" before). If through side-loading .apk's, the install screen hangs. I have cleared the data/cache and force stopped: (1) Google Play Store, (2) Play Services, (3) Google Service Framework; after restarting, the problem persisted.
I would like to avoid factory resetting. Also, I am afraid of uninstalling updates to the above 3 system apps and reinstalling, considering the fact that I currently cannot install anything. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!
EDIT: Additional info:
I have 4.7 gig free out of 13 usable (16 total iirc). I used ES File Explorer to clear "junk data" as they call it (cache/temp files). I just now cleared the cache through the android system recovery mode (guide on androidpit).
Somewhere in the background the 2 apps I was attempting to side-load seem to have installed (without notifying me) after I "quit" the install. However, after uninstalling them and trying to reinstall it still seems to hang (15 minutes as of this message, with a 2 mb app).
Also I do not know if it is relevant, but after restarting I cannot use the power button to "sleep/lock" the phone for the first 30 sec ~ 2 min. After that it works fine.
Thanks again for any advice!

Try changing ur screen time out to 30mins, so that the screen is on while the app is downloading, if that doesn't work ... Clear ur cache and dalvik cache via recovery. Or download the apps using a 3rd party App Store Like Amazon underground /get jar /mobogenie or uc browser , coz a factory reset might solve the problem Which you wouldn't prefer.

Can't update or install certain apps on the Play Store. Stock SM-T710

Anyone else getting these types of errors or know a fix? I just updated my Play Store to 6.2.13.A-all [0] 2655766 but was still getting these errors on the previous version.
The first picture below is an attempt to update an already installed app, Ultimate Guitar Tabs & Chords. The second picture is an attempt to install a new app to my device, Stack.
These errors occur sometimes on other app installations and updates, not just these two. The troubleshoot link option provides no solutions. I've already tried clearing all Play Store data and cache, wiped the cache from my recovery, and ran CCleaner. Uninstalling updates fixes the issue but the Play Store automatically updates to the latest version. I want to run the latest version anyways. Anyone else run across this issue?

Didn't work.

Try this I suppose

Happening to me now. Seems to only affect the apps that I've moved to the SD card. Uninstalled the updates to Google Play Store and cleared the data and cache without success.

Unmount the sd card before installing or updating the app that causes the error

Problems with Play Store, Downloads, and Media Storage after downgrading to KK

I've been fed up with the poor battery life on Lollipop and Marshmallow, so I decided to downgrade my Z3c to KitKat. I did it "by the book," using Flashtool to downgrade (I checked both boxes to wipe everything in Flashtool), giefroot, dual recovery, etc. I installed a prerooted zip of 23.0.1.A.5.77 and then flashed RICdefeat and a mod specifically designed for 23.0.1.A.5.77 so I could have Xloud. Both the prerooted firmware and the mod are from XDA. So far so good. I had root and recovery working perfectly, and I started downloading my apps from the Play Store.
Everything looked great until I tried to access the Play store after the first reboot. The Installed Apps under the My Apps menu would not show up at all, and anything I tried to download would just hang at "download pending" and never make any progress. Furthermore I could not download anything from my browser (Chrome). And every time I tried to assign ringtones or notification sounds, Media Storage crashed. I did some searching and found that the Download Manager and Media Storage are somehow linked and seem to be the cause of this problem. Things went back to normal after I cleared the cache (or force closed if there was no clear cache option) from both of those in settings, but this does not persist after a reboot. So every time I reboot the phone, I have to go back and clear those manually, and then re-assign all of my custom sounds (ringtones, notifications, etc) due to media storage being cleared. Luckily I don't reboot all that often, but obviously this is not ideal.
I do have Xposed with a few modules (Gravitybox, Amplify, Greenify, etc.) installed, but this problem occurred before I even installed Xposed. I use Titanium Backup to freeze some of Sony's bloatware. Otherwise I'm basically stock with a locked bootloader, and I have plenty of free space on internal storage.
What is causing my download manager and media storage to keep messing things up, and is there a fix?

You mentioned that you have frozen some of the Sony's bloatware on your phone. Might have something to do with that!
About the download pending on Play Store: Play Store might be needed to be updated, so go to settings (sliding menu from Play Store) and tap on Build Version, it will say something like "Newer version will be downloaded and installed etc" IF you have an old version of the Play Store.
