[Q] Apps will not install, any advice appreciated!

Sorry to start a new thread. I have read the rules about posting and have searched for the last couple of days for an answer but can't find one.
I am unable to install ANY apps whatsoever and it is driving me crazy. I have an HTC Desire (obviously) and am using Pays ROM Froyo Sense v2.2 A2SD+ (updated just the other day). (And yes, I wiped everything like you are supposed to do, before and after the update.) I don't think the problem is with the ROM itself because the problems started before the update.
I am able to download apps from the market but it seems to get hung up on the installation itself. It never stops installing and I am not even getting a failed installation message.
I have gone to Settings>Applications>Manage applications and cleared the data and cache for all of the normal suggested apps and have even force closed a few. Nothing is working, even when I try to install .apk files which are located in the download folder of my SD card.
One strange thing I have noticed is that when I go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications, the amount of space being used never displays anything other than 'computing....' I know sometimes it can take a while for the size to be displayed but surely not an hour!
I have even restored the default/factory settings to see if that helped but nothing!!! grrrrr.....
I am reaching the end of my rope and would appreciate any advice offered. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't a newbie mistake and thanks in advance for any help!

have you tried another rom see if the problem persists? it usuall only takes a minute for manage applications to find all my apps and i have looooooads also no problem with market, do a nandroid, and try another rom, if its still the same you can always restore your nandroid, i suggest maybe leedroid

Thanks so much for your reply! Was really hoping to avoid trying another ROM but I am going to give LeeDroid a try and hopefully that will sort out my app problem. Just finished downloading it, will flash and post back soon. Thanks again!

like i said do a nandroid, if leedroid dosent work then, you can just restore your backup and your rom will be exactly the same as it was b4 you flash leedroid

FIXED!!! Thank you so much!! Am happily running LeeDroid.

Just FYI: Usually, I have such a problem installing but I leave it (it shows nothing downloading). Upon restarting the phone (whenever), the apps automatically install.

[Q] Phone Goes Crazy

So every custom ROM I've tried (TrulyEpic, Syndicate, Nebula) after a while it just stops working correctly. I end up with constant need of reboots and then Google Services Framework always FC's on me. Apps start to FC and it all goes downhill. I have yet to have a ROM last longer than a month without doing this. I don't download a lot of apps and the ones I do use are very mainstream.
Does anyone else have this problem or is it my handset? All is well as long as I stick to stock. I hate stock though, because I do rely on tethering and I'm not paying double for data. That and Syndicate is so fast and smooth.
Thanks for listening to my venting. Sorry for taking up forum space.

You really need to search...
The FCs are due to data corruption, you can't improperly shut off a no-journaling ROM or that's what happens. Reflash your rom, make a NAND backup then install the backup and journaling will be on and it will stop happening.

Sorry, I did and I couldn't find what I thought was the issue. I did give you a thanks though because I didn't know that.

It's fine, I was just saying you should search because there are a dozen threads where people are complaining about tons of FCs.

As for a NAND backup, would I need NANDROID or would the Backup/Restore in CWM work for that? If I need NANDROID then I'll probably just keep a copy of the ROM on my SD card an reflash whenever I get corruption.
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I got it.

touch the untouchable android to being issue!

OKAY! so i searched key words but couldnt find anything in particular under MT3GS... anyways, i flashed from cm7 nightly 60something to cm7.0.3. usually i dont have to wipe anything, everything transfers over fine. when i came to i was getting errors with my music app so i used clockwork manager to fix permission. although it went through the whole list, it comes up with an error to get privilages or something. i thought it was 7.0.3... luckly, i backed up my previous version so i decided to restore it so i wouldn't have to deal with all those errors. when it came to, now im getting the 'welcome to t-mobile... 'touch the android to begin' screen... only problem is im touching the android but nothing is happening. i wiped my data/cache/ext and it wont work. i even tried flashing 7.0.3 clean but still no avail. please someone help.
EDIT: nevermind... i got it... i just had to reflash the gapps... doyyyyyyyyyyyy. good morning everyone =P

uhhhmmm ok this is awkward... but the problem jus escalated. i was able to sign into my google account but now im getting errors with 'framework' or something and then the setup wizard FC on me?! i didn't even know that was possible.. looks like im in deep doodoo. help? please?

They clearly stated DO NOT FLASH 7.0.3 OVER THE NIGHTLIES. IT WILL HOSE YOUR SYSTEM.
Sorry for all caps but I had to get my point across. Try fix permissions and if that doesn't work, guess you gotta restore a nandroid or do a full wipe.

Yes it is very possible to have framework problems and setup wizard to crash. I could not tell you what causes it exactly. Have you tried redownloading all files you're attempting to flash? Bad downloads CAN cause such problems.

wow i dont know how to post from multiple quotes O_O
anyways... i figured it out. i ultimately was hoping to flash without wiping my data because i had data2ext enabled so wiping also cleans out the sdext.
anyways i did not know we couldn't flash over a nightly because rom manager doesn't support those kind of notes, thanks for the emphasis though.
also i believe it was a bad download, seeing how i downloaded directly from rom manager rather than on my laptop. i reflashed my nightly 55 and seems to work again. strangely reflashing 69 had the same setup wizard errors.
so thanks for the input.

[Q] Mail and Contacts problems on Reflex S 2.1.7

So i flashed my Desire with 'Reflex S v2.1.7 GingerBread 2.3.3 - Sense 2.1'
Everything works good, it's really fast, but i encountered 2 problems: (actually more, but i dealt with them..)
1. Email app (com.htc.android.mail) does not work. It Force Closes whenever i try to open it, or Sync All.
2. Contacts app (i think its HTC People in English; com.android.htccontacts) does Force Close when i do anything but watch them, or call. When i try to send message through this app it does FC, when i try to edit something, it also FC, same with creating.
Full wipe and re-flash doesn't solve it. (I restore apps and data through Titanium Backup, but it doesn't work even before i do.)
I'm new to forum, i hope i gave all info you need, in proper section, with proper title. I also hope my English isn't bad and you understood my problem.

Try posting in reflex s thread someone may know in there .... I use reflex and I don't have those problems mine has always worked well...
What else can you tell us?

I cannot post there yet i think.
I didn't S-OFF yet.
No idea what more useful info i could give you

You are right, you cannot post there yet.
Already searched the reflex s thread for your problem?

yeah, but no one else had similar problems, some ppl had problems with other apps, but reflashing usually helped. Doesn't work for me :|

did you check md5sum before you flashed?
What sd card partition set up do you have? What recovery do you use?

I didn't check md5.
16gb class 4 card.
1.5gb ext3 partition.
recovery is ClockworkMod i think

I know you have tried already but re-download the STOCK reflex rom....
Check md5sums
Full wipes as usual...
Neo said in the thread that Amon_ra is better recovery to use but I have never had problems with CWM
I'm a bit stumped, I did have to try 3 times on 2.1.6... no reason it just never flashed right.... 3rd time it was perfect

I'm gonna try tomorrow, cause i'm totally busy today

OK. Wipe and reflash didn't solve these problems. For some reason few hours after wipe, Mail app stopped crashing, and now works! But still problem with editing and showing contacts.. still gives me FC :|

It's strange but I've read something similar in other forums with the Reflex rom, as you can see in my signature is what I have. They have always solved these problems with full wipe, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache and flash again.
I really works great but it´s true that sometimes trying to change the Lock-screen I have to spend several times the files to finish doing what I want.

Messages Contacts
Messages app doesnt show contacts or their images.. just shoes the number...

[Q] Oh Dear, Phone Not working - slightly panicked now! Please help!!

Please could someone help me?? I successfully rooted, s-off, etc etc flashed insertcoin and was very very happy with all working well until today...

If anyone can help me, am very grateful

Do Full wipe, and reinstall the ROM

Oh blimey, thanks for replying! Feeling really panicked now... So, sorry to be pain, but do I go into recovery?
Thank You!!

Yes, and do all wipes

Yes recovery, to get here turn off your phone. Now hold vol- and power.
When you're in recovery do Full Wipe/Factory reset, cache and dalvik cache wipe.
Reflash ROM.
Btw. it wont broke itself, you probably flashed/installed something which caused this...

Oh thank you. Going to do that now.

Thank you very much. Have done it and now back on my phone!! I must have installed something dodgy but cant think what it was. Will now start the laborious process of installing all apps again....nevermind, at least I have a working phone thank god!
Thanks again!

Erm, having another problem. Trying to get into market and am getting alot "sorry, the application MarKet (process com.android vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Not sure whats happened? Should I re-flash insertcoin or do you think it could have problems and maybe I should try another?? If I do try another rom, do I still have to do a nandroid backup because this one is not working properly??
Thanks again

Well, perhaps try another Rom and give it a test? All is just by test and trials

Try fixing permissions from recovery,never had the problem but I have heard that is ment to fix fc issues

Also use titanium backup to backup your apps... so when you reflashing ROM you wont lose them.
About the market issue, try to clear cache and data for Market.app (Settings/Applications/All)

Everything working fine now.... thanks alot guys. Gave me a bit of a fright but am learning all the time!!
