So I was getting unknown reason 18 error when trying to install certain apps from the market.
I've googled and search the forum. The best answer I could get was to wipe and reinstall the ROM, which I did not want to do.
Then I checked the logs and figured out the problem was that all those apps that would fail were trying to install on SD card by default.
The solution: move all the apps back to phone, put your microSD into a card reader and delete .android_secure folder. That's it!
didn't work for me
Worked
That worked for me. For ever I could not update Sky map. When I could not install Angry Birds I went "searching".
Thank you for the fix.
I don't think it'll work for me either.
None of my apps are on my SD. I know this because I can't even do that. When I try to transfer an app to sd it the progress bar just hangs there (doesn't move it just shows the striped pattern)
It worked!
Hey ho, it worked!! Finally the nagging issue is resolved (for me)
I can't find that folder/file! :S
.android_secure is hidden, you need to enable showing hidden files on your file manager. I use ES File Manager and it has such feature.
...or, you can just make sure your app is installed on the phone, then unmount the SD before updating.

Holy crap! It worked for me. I didn't have anything installed on the SD card either.
when your market chache is moved to the SD then move it back to the internal memory and clear the market data...
Worked for me... Thanks a lot...
i've had this error for quite some time - i realized i need to move the app back to phone in order to update it and then move it back to SD card.
Will try this method!
Thanks for posting
thank god this!!!!! work i'm was getting piss off at is unknown 18 **** it was hunting me in my dreams THANKYOU
Please, I have the same problem but I haven't space in my phone to return the SD apps. Is there another way to solve this?
Simple FIX
Just take out the sd card, install whatever is giving you an error, then pop the sd card back in. No fuss no muss!
Nice SIMPLE solution!
Thank you. Didn't involve rooting the phone, installing adb, saying magic mantras etc. etc.
Thanks

Ok, so I figured out a solution that is hopefully "better" and "quicker" for all. Simply connect your phone to your computer (as USB Mass storage), browse to the folder '.android_secure' (make sure you can view hidden files/folders in windows) and delete the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec' (I just renamed it 'smdl2tmp1.asec.delete' just in case it didn't work).
Problem solved! Everything updates just fine now and I didn't have to move any apps back from the SD card to the phone.

ello,
I got HTC 8X with built in storage 16GB.
How can I manually install Apps on HTC 8X since it has built in storage [no SD Card]?
I can transfer the apps using USB cable, but there is no option in the store to install it

You can't. If you want to install xap gotten from developers, you need a developer account. If you want to install xap from the windows phone website, you can't.

If we dont have a SD card, could we move apps downloaded to the space you have on the phone when you connect it to the PC ? Does it need to go to a Apps folder or just in the root ?

Maybe next time you would like to look up the specs of the device in question, the 8X which DOES NOT have an sdcard.

No. An explicit sd card is needed.
I have a Nokia 822 with an SD card and I followed the instructions by coping the XAPs to my SD card and tapping on the store tile but the SD card doesn't show up..What am I doing wrong?
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/How-to/wp8/apps/how-do-i-install-apps-from-an-sd-card
If you've just inserted the SD card or added the .XAP files, you might need to wait a few minutes before you can access your SD card from the Store.

Remember - by this method you can install ONLY original apps downloaded from market store.

Yeah after 30 minutes or so it showed up but only the one from the store, homebrew one didn't. Working on setting up a Windows 8 PC 64bit with SDK8.
Hi,
I did the root on my HD+ 2.06, which worked great. Afterwards, I installed the Gapps and Extras zip, which worked, as I got Play Store. This is the thread I followed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
The problem I have is that other Gapps didn't install. I don't have Maps and Youtube doesn't work. Youtube asks for Google Play Services. I can't install them as the Play Store keeps saying it's incompatible.
I'm probably doing something really stupid, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have the same problem with my HD. I updated to the 0404 build from the 0331 build and I have lost access to my root screen from the home button and can't find the root apps anywhere. Even tried updating the gapps but to no avail.
Update: On advice from a friend, I went back to 0331 and everything appeared fine. He tells me the problem is between Trebuchet and the 0404 build.
OK, I installed Chrome.apk and GoogleMaps.apk manually, but the problem I am still having is I can't see the SD Card when it's in. I can't set SD Card as destination. Any word on how to do that?

You need to install the location services zip. That sets up gps permissions so that Maps becomes compatible. You may need to clear the data on the Play Store app first. Once you install Maps, then YouTube should work.

What do you mean sdcard as destination? You mean you cannot see the external SD? If you read my HD/HD+ tips thread linked in my signature, and look at item item 9, Data Structures and item 12, Swapping you will understand. You can flash the swap in my CWM thread.

Thanks for the reply. I have locations services enabled and the manually loaded maps works with location services. How do I clear the data on the Play Store app?

I read that, I have the SD Swap.zip on my bootable SD, but it was confusing, as It seems that it will swap storage with internal SD and External SD. I thought there was a way to use the external SD as extra space. Like when I try to load movies from Vplayer, it doesn't see my external SD. Also, Root Browser, can't seem to navigate to the external SD.

There is a way to use the external SD as storage. And I agree the swap is confusing because we cannot change the names. The problem is that some apps cannot browse to ext_sdcard. It is under /mnt and hard to find.

Anyone can give me a hint on how to clear the cache for Google Play Store? It doesn't show up in Settings -> Applications. Is there a directory I need to empty? Thanks.

I found the easiest way is to install adw launcher from the play store and put the Play Store as a shortcut on the adw home screen. Then long press that shortcut and it gives you the option to manage the app. Then you can clear the cache. You want to clear data too if you want to improve app compatibility.
Actually I like adw launcher better than zeam anyway. It has more customization.

Did you download them from windowsphone.com? If so, restart the phone and they will appear in the store.
If they are unencrypted xaps, you can't install them from the SD but you need the Windows Phone SDK
i download from internet and in usb storage i make folder SD Card,restart phone,but nothing appear in store...
Go read the forum rules, then let us know if there's a good reason this thread shouldn't be locked by the moderators. I'm not going to assume anything - maybe you mean XDA when you said "from internet" and you just don't know how to use sear h or even how to read the response above you - but it sounds a bit fishy.
i aksing for help,i dont know what are you talking about ?

An SD card is a physical storage device, which can be inserted into specific phones (and other devices).
Creating a folder called 'SD Card' or any other name for that matter using usb storage, will not result in the phone 'detecting' that folder as a virtual SD card.
Your phone (the HTC WP8X) does not have an physical SD card slot, so sideloading store apps is simply not possible for you.
The only apps you CAN sideload are non-encrypted XAPs, which was given to you by a developer or you created yourself. There is currently no way to sideload encrypted XAP files without an SD card slot, nor is there a way to decrypt these XAPs for other sideloading means.

On the official Windows Phone store if you scroll down to the bottom, it gives you the ability to download a .xap manual and sideload apps. I myself am trying to figure out how to get these .xap loaded as they aren't appearing in my store either.

After I tried to move some apps to the SD card their icons disappeared from my phone screen and the SD card also disappeared from my phone. Then when I tried to reinstall the apps from the app store it keeps giving me the message "You cannot install this app because another user has already installed an incompatible version on this device".
I'm at a loss because I tried to find the apps in the settings but their not there anymore so I can't find the incompatible versions anymore.
Also the SD card wasn't readable by my phone anymore and when I tried to read the SD card from a pc the only option I have is to reformat it.
So I can't Uninstall those apps anymore and I don't know how to access other users in note 8 tMobile version to find the incompatible version. When I moved to the SD card did the phone interpret that as another user and the apps became corrupted maybe? Is there any solution to this problem?
It took me a few hours but I found a work around. What I had to do is search for the APK I needed. I downloaded and installed it from the yalp store (APK mirror) should work as well. Once installed, I moved it to the SD card, just like I did before. Opened it so it created the data folder. Then immediately uninstalled it. I was then able to go back to the Play store and downloaded it just fine. I know xda does not Condon the use of "pirated" apps or work around but I hope this reply does not get flagged as I believe it is a huge issue for us.

:good: That did it! Thanks a ton. Actually installing any apk version of the same app and then uninstalling it regardless of moving it to the SD card solved the problem. I could then reinstall it from the play store without getting the notification of an incompatible version already being installed by another user.
