When deleting a app in a rom do I delete both the apk and odex? Also on this fourm I remember reading what was safe to get rid of but can't find it now. Found the thread for whats safe to delete

search "barebones" and you can leave the odex file but it doesn't do anything but take up space unless there is an apk to call to it

Thank you I have been using the CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA Full ROM. What I did was just rip app files out of the zip. I ripped too many lol It installed just fine all the apps worked but when I went to download from the market it wouldn't install. Got the installation unsuccessful. Now I will rip one app out at a time and install the rom.

All my old market apps download just fine, but when I purchase new apps I cannot download them. With any new app purchased I get Download Unsuccessful error. I have tryed clearing market data/cache, wiping all data and caches, I have even tried factory resets with no success. Don't know what to do at this point. I am running DC 3.5 with netarchy-toastmod 4.13.

I've had this too without any quick permanent solution. What has seemed to help me was reflashing the gapps. This probably will not completely fix it, but has definitely helped a bit.
Thanks for the suggestion, I downloaded the Google Apps for HDPI devices for CyanogenMod 6 at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
Unfortunately it didn't work. I thought for sure this would be the key. O well at least now I have the new version of G-mail.

Have you tried using a different ROM and using Titanium backup to restore the apps on your favored ROM?

I don't know if this will help you, but sometimes when I try to update an app it will download but won't install. I just go to the sd card with ES File Explorer under /download and the apk is there. Sometimes just clicking on the apk will install it. If not, I just delete the apk and redownload the update.
IDK if installing new apps saves a temp apk to this same folder, but you could look there to see if you have a bunch of apk's that failed.

That is a good idea. I will have to try that when it occurs with my phone. Better than nothing.

I have tried different ROM's with no luck. Also they are not even begining the download otherwise I would find the .apk and install it that way.
Hi,
I stupidly deleted an system app 'Flash' to be precise while experimenting with Titanium Backup. Firstly I updated the default Flash to the new 10.1 then integrated it to the ROM then decided I wanted to undo this, but can't find and option to do this procedure.
Please can some one help me restore my HTC Desire default flash.
Just to note backup doesn't seem to restore anything.
Thanks.

If it was a .APK that you deleted, the easiest option is to us ADB push command to put it back on the phone.
You would need to source it first, but you should find it if you extract you ROM.ZIP file.
Could you kindly tell me, how I may do this?

Post exactly which ROM you are using and i'll remove it for you and post it up
hmm flash. If only we had a unified place where we could collect all such third party apps. It could have a search function, menus and maybe even paid apps. Then people in need of an app could just find it here and install it right away.
Ohh wait it's called the market.
If the app is gone, you should be able to install it from the market and afterwards you can move the .apk file to the system partition.

If only you read my question properly. Unfortunately, your attempt of sarcasm has failed. So, please stop.
Hi, im running ec05 with the urban fury rom. I made a few changes to the rom and rezipped the file and flashed the zip with the new apks i added. I used the apks from midnight rom extras 5.2, all i did was take the apks from system/app from the extras and added them to urban fury roms system/app folder. The primary reason i did this was to fix the voicemail issue as midnights rom didnt require a text message. However i ended up adding all the apks over anyway instead of just that one apk. Im just trying to find out why is it everytime i power down my phone and boot it up all the apks i installed from the market are gone...???? Im going to undo what i did in a few hours but and just try the voicemail apk, but im just curious why this happens and is there a way i can fix it? Thanks for any help....
Did you modify the apks? Sounds like they are not signed.

I'm having the same problem on the Urban Legend ROM, I didn't edit anything in the ROM, but everytime I reboot my apps from the market are gone and have to download again. The data files seem to stay as I don't have to reenter any information, but the app itself goes away.
Sounds like YPIR to me.

I had this problem on all Urban Fury variations that I tried. Only thing that didn't allow me to stay on them, as a matter of fact.
What is YPIR?

open lucky patcher & minimize it

Why would you suggest that? That only works if you are running a deodexed ROM. If you are running an odexed ROM (like all stock ROMs, that will not work, and will cause problems.

I had this issue when i installed titanium backup. Whenever i tried installing any other app, it would fail to install because it would say that i ran out of space. Looking at the data/app folder i found an .odex file for it, which was the only .odex file in the app folder and deleting it started to allow other apps to start installing again.
i had this same issue with cm9 deodexed roms aswel as stock jellybean
im sure odexed roms are just odexed system applications, not user applications which are installed. If youre running an odexed rom you may see the same thing
I'm working on a themed aosp 4.2 keyboard. It would make my life a whole lot easier if i could just install the keyboard as a regular app, but when i try is won't work. What would you need to edit in a system app so that it will install normally without having to move it to system/app and rebooting
Well if you could explain the error....
this is SPARTAAA

For example, if you were to uninstall say the android keyboard that comes bundled with a rom, then you were to extract the apk, and try and just install it, it won't work. The only way i know of getting it to install is to put it into system/app and reboot. So i'm asking if there is a way to edit system apk's so that you can install them regularly.

Never mind I figure it out. I just had to merge the resources file from the new app into the original then resign the original
