[HELP] My Youtube app disappeared! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on a DeFroST 3.0b ROM, I think it was because I factory reset my phone. Now there isn't any Youtube app and I can't download it from the market.
Any ideas?

Bump......

re-install rom after another wipe, check if youtube app is in fact included with the rom.
failing above, flash a different rom.

Yep, Youtube is restored after re-installing the ROM, but it's *horror* classified as a "Downloaded app" which means it'll be permenantly deleted upon factory reseting.

Not necessarily. There are a few Apps in the Downloaded section of Leedroid 1.9a (what I'm using) there were included in the ROM. I think the creator of your ROM has simply done that so you can choose to uninstall YouTube, should you so wish. Must be something to do with the APK's location inside the .zip file. I don't know enough about the system structure to say with any conviction, though.

If you mean apps you have purchased on the market is a feature that downloads the purchased apps automatically once you enter your gmail account. If that is bothering you uninstall them manually once you have the ROM installed
ok:
1. boot to recovery
2. wipe all (factory, sd-ext, dalvik)
3. flash new rom
4. start new rom
5. use wizard to config phone (local setting and google account)
6. run android market and this is critical point
7. after run android market start download all my installed apps from old rom (rom when i use before flashing new rom).
And my question is: How i disable it (download old apps in market).
I need have clear phone without any apps.
If you need a phone without applications what you should do after doing all you just posted is either login in with another google account that has not downloaded anything or uninstall manually the apps after login in

When you are entering your setup information you are selecting Google backup. If you do not select it, it won't download your apps. Which ROM are you using? Is it one of the hd ones?

How can we delete that backup now?
Sent using XDA app from my Desire
when i not select backup to google, is still same as i select this (backup to google). After start android market apps will downloading.
I test:
In old rom manual uninstall all apps from android market.
In recovery full wipe
Flash new rom
In wizard unselect backup to google
But when i start android market apps will downolading :-(
Where i search this backup on google ?
Definite bump on this required!
I too want to delete the existing backup that Google holds because it contains apps that I deleted ages ago because I don't want them (it even downloaded the CM background I used when I used an AOSP ROM a while ago). This happened after I flashed a hd ROM last night.
And I can confirm that regardless of selecting backup or not, the auto downloads occur.
Is the backup overwritten if you don't select it initially but then select it after you have configured your phone to how you want it? If so, how do you reset the backup option, can;t find it, do I have to re-run the setup wizard?
I'm currently back on a standard Sense ROM and don't plan on going to a HD one for a while but would like to delete whatever backup Google hold.
Thanks
Seems like this only happens on Sense-based ROMs. I had a Sense ROM installed and flashed a CM6.1 Mod, and no apps were downloaded when I opened the market.
Maybe you can avoid this with the AppBrain App Market, which also synchronises your apps with Google to bring apps in your market list that have been installed outside the market via browser or sd-card.
Ok, this issue for me is now resolved having just reinstalled a hd rom (Alex-v 1.3 hd v2), basically I let the apps auto update then, once notified of completion, went into 'Settings-Privacy'-which is where I saw that backup wasn't ticked (as I had not selected it in the setup wizard) but that auto resore WAS but it was greyed out. I selected backup which then ungreyed the auto restore option and was able to untick both selections, once you do this you are given a messsage asking if you are sure and if you continue all data will be deleted. All sorted. Just means you have to go through uninstalling the apps you no longer want but it should be a one off from now. Happy days!

[Q] cm7 help

Ok I flashed cm7 rom doing the delete data/cache thing and it installed fine. My problem is that I could not get it to sync with google and their was no app for the android market so I couldn't download any apps. Is this rom suppose to download over the top of an existing rom without doing the delete data/cache thing?
Oh, I think I need to do the install goodle apps option during install. Why is that even an option?
Nope, I'm still stuck.

[Q] Android Market doesnt' work

hi, im new to rooting. i've just rooted my desire with cyanogenmod 7, and the android market doesn't seem to work? i can't download google map or any other apps from it. any help? thanks alot.
any help? thanks
i guess you tried rebooting? that worked the last time I had problems with cyanogenmod, that being said i don't use it daily so I'm no expert
yup, i tried rebooting but it didn't work too..
Try wiping the cache, if that doesn't work, do a factory reset and wipe everything, do a fresh install and put gapps on.
does that mean i have to flash it back to stock rom and start all over again?
Have you tried to flash the G-apps again? Here's the link of the newest one: Google apps choose the CyanogenMod 7 (Gingerbread) version and flash it with Rom Manager or Recovery.
have you modified the .zip file , deleting some files for exemple?
I done it, and removed "Package Installer.apk" one time, so downloads were beginning but stopped each time immediately
Market download issues
I'm having similar issues using GingerVillain 1.9. Small market updates are downloading without issue, larger ones such as the latest Google Maps update are giving the message "download unsuccessful". I had similar issues when the market was updated from the old style, and wonder whether google are tinkering in the background.

i don't think i've removed any of those files..
I am having similar problems. I have installed the gapps, but it only installs a couple of google apps. When I try to install from the market some install fine but others (angry birds for example) don't. I see the downloading icon for split second then it goes away and the download stops.
Any ideas?

[Q] Desire with CM7.1 reporting “Your device is not compatible...” on market

I've got an HTC Desire GSM, previously on 7.0.0 RC recently updated to 7.1 STABLE, but have a problem with android market, loads of apps are coming up as “Your device is not compatible with this item” when I try and update them.
If I try to install anything new, same problem.
I've never changed the pixel density and I've tried clearing the android market data and cache, no change.
Also tried android market enabler app, still no fix.
Any ideas/suggestions? or is this a known issue?
have changed your HBOOT? I think that problem is due to the memory partition to just let r2 CM7 cache sometimes causes this error .... has a solution .... look in the search ....

Market reports that any application I try to apply an update is incompatible.
Market does not list *any* new applications to install...
Some searching suggests that I need apps2sd setup... so I was looking to install e2s... but I'd need the apk for that... and I can't install anything from market... fun fun fun.
Managed to find the apk somewhere, E2S installed and running... it's made no difference
If you try to login to the web version of the market, what device does it say you have? It's an odd issue to have.
Hmm, you're on to something there... when I log in my phone isn't listed... what could be causing that?
Just to clarify, the account lists all the applications I have installed (under my orders/my library).
When I go "My Devices" it just says "There are no Android devices associated with this account."
When you said you updated to 7.1 stable version did you flash it on top of your existing rom or did you make a full wipe?

Looks like a sync issue. Try to clear data for the market app and login again and see if that fixes it. Otherwise a full wipe and install is all that's left to do if you haven't yet.

I think I flashed *over*... I did a nandroid backup, wiped data, cache, flashed cm71, then restored the backup.

So just to be clear, the procedure for a full wipe and install would be:
1) Perform nandroid backup
2) Format the system, data & cache partitions
3) Perform a factory reset
4) Flash CM7.1
5) Flash the Google Apps zip package.
6) Restore nandroid backup

everything ok, except step 6!! DON'T restore ur nandroid..it restore everything (system and rom, data, apps, setting, sms, etc)..
if u restore it, its like if u never flashed cm7....restore ur nandroid only in case u want go back to ur previous rom if u don't like cm7
so after flash cm and the google apps, reboot ur phone (first boot may take a 5 minuts) and setup the rom..google account, apps from market, etc
if u like to restore ur apps (even sms and bookmarks for example) u can use titanium backup or other apps to restore a previous backup of these things
One more thing if you already wiped system, cache and dalvik then you wouldn't be able to boot to perform a factory reset. Unless I'm confused or didn't understand steps 2 and 3.

Got it, that was what I was thinking of, apologies for confusion.
I'll do titanium backup first and restore once the cleanup and flashing of CM71 is done.
try build.prop
Paste the build.prop in system folder. Then clear data of Google Services Framework from settings/applications/manage applications..... Restart phone...
this might not work on some roms and might corrupt the rom....
but u can always reflash it.... it worked with most of my roms...
after this ur phone vll be indentified as desire hd on the market...
Link for build.prop-http://www.4shared.com/file/t3ZbNHHk/build.html
So I tried flashing the rom and then restoring the backup wholesale... That caused the same issues to reoccur.
Tried flashing again and this time am restoring the backup one app+data at a time.
So far everything's working fine.
Many thanks to all that have helped with this.

FIXED: Samsung Browser nav bar screwed ... anyway to fix / reinstall?

Hi all,
I recently installed the Xposed module MinMinGuard, which is supposed to help remove ads in the browser, and even the "white space" that is where the ad was before it was blocked.
I activated and used it for a bit and enabled on all my apps, however after deciding to discontinue use and uninstalling, there's blank space at the top of many websites now that sticks on the page even when scrolling. It only goes away if I hit Menu, but returns on the next website I visit.
I've included 2 screenshots to show the space.
I tried tweaking / reinstalling / etc. MinMinGuard a few times, but it doesn't fix the issue.
TB only has 1 backup of the browser, and it's from after I installed the module. Is there any way to re-install the stock browser from another source? Stock rom or something?
I have tried to clear data / cache on the browser to no avail.
**EDIT #2: I might be completely wrong about this having to do with MinMinGuard.
Apparently if you have any app enabled in accessibility settings and quick controls on it will happen. I have Tasker enabled in accessibility, and just recently enabled it..
**EDIT #3: That fixed it! Disabled Tasker in accessibility settings and all is back to normal. Guess it's some weird bug in android that hasn't been fixed and has existed since 4.2.2.
could try restoring from nandroid backup if you have one. or go on line and look for stock browser apk download (?)
err on the side of kindness
Not sure if this would work but you could try deleting the stock browser apk from the system folder and re-installing the stock browser.

But how would I re-install after deleting the apk?
If you are rooted, you could find the relevant Browser under /system/apps and delete the apk. I use Root Explorer to delete system files.
You could find a stock-based browser such as srx, unzip it, find the Browser apk, copy it to your SDcard, open root explorer, find the Browser, and open the file to install it.
Have you tried installing other browsers such as Chrome or Dolphin? Do these browsers exhibit the same behaviour?
I have a feeling its not going to be an issue with the browser app itself. Xposed probably did something in CSC and/or possibly elsewhere.
I think the easiest solution will be to reflash your current rom or firmware.
I could be wrong though, so you may wish to try replacing the browser apk. Something else that may be worth trying would be to wipe dalvik cache from recovery.

I tested on Dolphin and it's unaffected. What's srx? Couldn't find that on Play.

Other browsers are not affected so I'm hoping I don't have to re-flash. I downloaded the stock NE4 rom and was planning on extracting the secbrowser.apk (or whatever it's named) from the rom and then installing it that way, but for some reason, there is no browser apk in the stock rom zip, which is baffling to me.
Wiping dalvik had no effect.

Stock Samsung firmware is packed differently from custom ROMs and this is why you don't see any apk files. SRX is a custom ROM.

It may be called something else. In many custom ROMs, it's called browser.apk. Maybe Samsung or ATT renamed it.
Use Root Explorer and look in the system/app folder. The browser icon should appear next to the apk name.

Question - I'm on the stock rom (which installed via the NE4 firmware upgrade). I debloated it myself via TB.
If nothing else works, could I install the stock odexed / rooted NE4 rom in the development section over this? And if so, would I:
1) Need to wipe system beforehand (I would wipe cache / dalvik)
2) Would my disabled / debloated apps stay disabled / debloated? (for instance, I froze TouchWiz launcher in TB and use Nova).

Found it - secbrowser.apk - dunno why my keyword search didn't work before.
Anyway I uninstalled the browser and re-installed via Root Explorer from the stock rom. Also reverted changes in my CSC directory just in case.
No go - same problem exists. MinMinGuard must have modified something elsewhere. Damn.
**EDIT: Learned something about the issue. The blank space appears when I enter in a URL in the navigation bar and press enter to load it. Then the blank space appears on whatever page I have loaded. If I press Menu to show / hide the navigation bar, then the blank space goes away until I enter in another website.
It appears to have to do with the navigation bar - it's like the navigation bar disappears, but a black space takes it's place instead of shrinking / disappearing from view as I scroll down the page (note: I have the quick-controls enabled). When disabling quick-controls the problem ceases, but resumes upon re-enabling.
**EDIT #2: I might be completely wrong about this having to do with MinMinGuard. Found the issue elsewhere:
Here and here.
Apparently if you have any app enabled in accessibility settings and quick controls on it will happen. I have Tasker enabled in accessibility, and just recently enabled it..
