Help, app installer troubles - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm hoping someone can help.
Recently I started having troubles with my evo.
I am able to download apps from the market but they get stuck "installing".
This happened on Fresh 3.1
I then wiped and installed cm6 and again, same problem. On both I tried killing the downloader service as well as the market. I cleared the market data but could not clear its cache because it was stuck computing.
I tried installing apps from titanium backup and it gets stuck at 0%.
I then used another installer I got from when I installed tweet deck. It's an installer meant to allow you to install apk's received in emails.
That also got stuck.
Un installing also doesn't work. Gets stuck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm at a loss.

Hit cancel in the market and redownload. I find myself in the same position. Sometimes hangs on download or install..

Can't cancel, the button says "installing" and it is greyed out.

It started working. It's strange since it didn't work across different roms.

This has happened to me, sometimes it will install later after canceling the download. But I really think it has to do with titanium, not sure why, but I stopped using it and never have the problem anymore. I am good with starting fresh each time as long as I have my contacts saved to the sdcard.

It might be titanium..
I couldn't leave well enough alone..
I flashed cm6 back onto my phone then ran titanium.
At 16/100 app installs...the phone froze and rebooted. It wouldn't boot back into cm6.
I got stuck at the EVO splash.
I reflashed cm6 back on after wiping it, this time without the snap kernel, and the problem is back.. :\

If this ever happens again go to the /download directory on your memory card and you'll find the apk. You can then install from that. This happened to me a few times.

I'm not sure what you're referring to..but the installer doesn't work either way.
I tried installing some apk's I have in my sd card and the installer gets stuck at "installing" with the little bar under it continuously moving.

Cannot download anything from market..

Why is this and how do I fix this, also, why can't I connect usb anymore, tried 2 different cords and 2 different computers. It was working just the other day.

I somewhat solved the first part, just unmount the sd card then everything downloads.

I have the same issue where NOTHING will download from the market.. I tried all the solutions I found on the net. NOTHING.. any ideas?
Same here, I've been complaining about this for a while.
I tried reload my ROM and manually downloading every app again. I found that the problem re-appears once I restore just the "data" portion of an app from Titanium Backup.
I wonder if either (1) something is getting corrupted or (2) it craps out if I restore settings from an older version of an app.
I've got about 30 updates waiting in the market, and can no longer download anything either.
Have your tried, force closing the market from applications, clear the cache, and reboot?

Cannot Install anything from market

Let me start off by stating I am far from a newb. I have been rooting and flashing android ROMs since the G1. This is the first time I have run across this. My wife's DInc wont let her install any apps. Install unsuccessful each tome and started on stock ROM. I just rooted wiped and flashed cm7. Still same deal. I have never encountered this. Thinking corrupt internal memory. Anyone else have an idea? Tried wiping market cache data etc... tried signing into Google talk... funny thing is out of warranty by one day now. Awesome timing.

how new is the inc? have you checked that the PRL settings are correct? what message do you get when you try to install apps? it wouldn't hurt to do a *228 just to ensure all settings are written correctly.
I had the same problem but it turned out that the apps couldnt interact with my sd card. does it display a pop up error message when you try to install an app?
Last 2 DIncs I rooted, the SD that came with it was Not FAT32. Those had the same issue you describe, I reformatted SD, worked fine.

I'm having the same issue.. I thought it was from me messing around with the provider #'s like 310004 310012 etc.. im on verizon... cant install anything... get a popup of can install on usb or usb storage.... pic attached. ( http://db.tt/0aLvpMJ )
Well... it let me update these... http://db.tt/wCkP1we
But not these.... http://db.tt/NtTKVRc
I'm stumped... all permissions are set correctly. I've erased data and cache multiple times from the market... I've *228'd... and rebooted MANY TIMES!

Thats the exact same problem i had.
Use root explorer and navigate to /sdcard/.android_secure and delete the file "smdl2tmp1.asec" if it is not in that location then it could be in /mnt/secure/asec/
After i deleted the file it worked just fine with no errors.
Does it install if you unmount the SDcard with the system settings first?
I tried doing that but it didn't work for me. But it doesn't hurt to try.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Ahh, I had an issue with it a while back that was fixed by unmounting the sdcard before installing them. I'd read about it in this article before, maybe it will help someone here: http://lifehacker.com/5714300/how-to-fix-installation-unsuccessful-errors-in-the-android-market
Seems like it mostly covers problems with updates, though.

[Q] Google Play force closes

So I have MikG 3.1.1 with ducks combat theme, although I doubt that has any relevance, but up until today, my market worked fine. I could update apps, download apps, everything. But today when I went to try and download Instagram and then some games.... no matter what I do (Besides a full wipe and reflash.) I can't get it to work!!!
I've tried clearing cache, D-cache, data from market, uninstall market and placeing it into system/app folder with the modified permissions.... BUT NOTHING WORKS?
So what the hell can I do besides a full reflash? I really don't want to do a reflash because I ****ing hate putting apps back on my phone and recustomizing my settings
Might work if you use Titanium Backup to backup apps and settings, then do the wipe and restore from the backup made. Also probably wouldn't hurt to dig around for a market update

That's just it though, I don't mind TB, it's just a pain in the ass because some of the apps I have to actually DL from the market; if it's not working then I won't be able to restore all my apps. And I've tried other apk's laying around. I don't get it... This seems recent because there's a lot of threads I see from around the start of april but no possible fix, not for evo's yet anyway
Any help here guys it's driving me totally crazy. I've tried downloading an old market version before it got updated to "Google Play" and I can't even get it to open and update... WTF is going on here?
I literally have done nothing new to my phone in the past week. I was browsing apps the other day and downloaded pudding camera fine no problem. Wake up today to download another for my tumblr, but now everytime I try and wipe data/cache of Play Store, followed by trying to download something it FC's and will further FC, not even opening up afterwards.
I really don't want to reflash my ROM but it seems like I have no other option... Come on people, I know this issues has to be floating around with some kind of fix.
I don't know if this'll help, but have you tried booting into recovery and fixing permissions.

Go over to the Samsung epic touch 4g forum, go to themes and apps, find the thread "inverted Google apps" by rujules23 and go to his site. Download the market v3.5.16 for the evo, should just be called market v3.5.16 and not have E4GT on the end the E4GT version is specific to the epic touch and flash the zip in recovery that market should work for you, it will say market and have a blue and white shopping bag icon, it's inverted black with blue trim and modified to say market instead of play store on the icon. It fixed my play store problems when it kept acting weird(purchased apps saying they weren't purchased, FC's, apps incompatible, etc)

Yes I have tried. I've even tried the modded apk.
I will however, albeit being inverted, try the other suggestion with the flashable zip and post back with results
There's been a known issue with some of the new versions Google Play Store not downloading and throwing up error codes and such.
So I just downloaded one of the early versions until they iron out the kinks.
Here's the one that seems to work ok found here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-play-store-apk-3-4-6/
Its the 3.4.6 version. Scroll down.

Tried the inverted, no dice. In fact, worse than before. I can't even agree to the TOS and it instantly FC's on me. At least before I could wipe data and cache and browse, until I tried to download something.
Going to try the previous version as mentioned. However, won't it try to auto update when I open it?
Still nothing. Constantly getting the error. The only difference now is I cannot even browse the market now. I aknowledge that market is changing to play store, it crashes... I open it again and asks me to accept ToS. Then instantly FC's.
Any other fixes guys? I'm beginning to think I have to reflash my rom which I really don't want to.
Any MikG users here can confirm if I can just flash the Update version over my current setup to maintain my apps and settings or will that break my theme and everything else? CUrrent theme is Ducks Combat
Did you delete the market completely before installing the inverted one?

Just re flash mikg it will wipe system for you but all your data will remain. I've had that happen with other things, you may have changed something that caused it and not known. Re flash, no wipe it will do the trick!

Reflash with the update version? Cuz the other version is a full wipe inside the zip. More laboration please?
And yes I did delete the Vending.apk, market.apk, reboot, install, reboot, and try. Still errors
*sigh*
Checked on some of my old posts and may have found a fix to my FFC camera issue which is unrelated to this thread. What IS related however, is when I was flashing it, I accidentally wiped my sdext and now I can't unlock my phone for some reason. Just my wallpaper and my status bar...
So against my wishes it would seem I have to reflash the entire mikg rom. (
However, in my previous post about simply reflashing the rom OVER my current setup, anybody care to explain still?
No worries guys, had to eventually reflash anyway and working even better than before. Making nandroid to prevent any future errors. Proceed with closing thread

Cannot click install....

This one has me confused..... I wiped out my phone for giggles and grins and flashed SGH-T989_UVLH1_Stock_Deodex_Rooted_signed.zip from my sd card cause kies ALWAYS seems to fail on install moving on so I flashed this Rom and had noticed an interesting effect. No matter what I do when I want to install software I cannot click the "install"button no matter how much I touch it, it fails to deal respond. Now I can click the cancel button no worries but not the install. No matter which way my screen is rotated. Any clues as to why and before anyone asks yes install non market apps is checked

[Q] acore process stopped after flash

Hi guys. I flashed a new rom this morning. I went from a 4.3 to a 4.3 rom, so no problems right? I checked the checksums, and the rom was fine. Everything went well and I started my titanium backups. It froze. It rebooted and then I kept getting android.process.acore has stopped. it comes up immediately after I hit ok and doesn't let me do anything. So I went back to my backup. Same thing happens here. I wiped, it, installed new roms, Everything I do gives me this. Factory reset, new rom flash, ect.
The google answer seems to be clear the data out of the contacts in app manager, but I can't even get there.
any insight would be appreciated.
thanks.
Well, I can enter 1 keystroke between error messages. I went through the initial setup 1 keystroke at a time. When it was finished logging into google, it just started over again with the samsung account.
Sounds like leftover data causing your issues. Follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50335424. You will also want to delete two folders from your external sdcard android and data if they exist. Now that your phone is totally clean you should have no more problems.

Thanks,. I have started down that road. I'm not sure if the sd card is the culprit, as I tried it without it as well.
