Since I updated to Froyo I wanted to install the apps to the SD Card.
So I came to the conclusion not every app could be switched over.
So I download 'Android SDK' and through the USB and CMD with Windows I followed a tut to fix this problem too. It worked I while and I could move every app I wanted.
Now when I try to install a app from the market it hangs on installing... the app was downloaded and data was used but it won't install. And every app that I installed from the market could not open.
And my PC won't detect the Sd card anymore.
anyone can help me?
I tried to make a goldcard to downgrade and fix it with an update but it won't work because my pc won't detect the SD card...
I also did a reset to my phone.

Hi there, after trying to install one app today my phone froze on "installing" and i had to remove battery to start again. After that i'm unable to install any app by any means. I tried to install different apps with htc sync, directly from the phone, with adb and from market but none of this ways worked. It always gives me "Application not installed" or Failure when trying with adb . Pls help
once the memory is full on the phone it will not install any other apps until you remove another. It doesnt take much to fill it up either. Try uninstalling something and then you will be able to add another app after that
this problem should be sorted with the 2.2 update
Have you run out of Space on your phone?
Go to Settings,
Phone and SD and what is the Available space left
If you have plenty i would guess you have Corrupted the OS.
A fill wipe might be a good idea.....
Just wondering if it is SD card related... have you tried unmounting the SD card, retry installing the app, then re-mounting the SD card?
I'm not that stupid .... i didn't run out of space, i'm rooted with 2.2 and apps2sd. Mounting- unmounting, restarting... nothing helps. I thought there might be a way to fix it, apart from re-flashing (i hope at least that will fix it ). I'll wait a couple of days if someone suggest something else otherwise i'll have to wipe or flash again .
Every once and a while I find that the odd app on my SD card will uninstall itself.
When I go into application manager the application shows as being on the SD card but has lost its icon and I cannot find any way to get it back other than to unistall the app and redownload from the market. The unistall usually errors the first time but succeeds on the second attempt.
I do not recall this issue prior to the Froyo update last year.
The sequence of events is as follows.
-Update an app from the marketplace.
-Reboot phone
-A different app to the one updated will have been uninstalled.
I know that SD apps take a little longer to register after a reboot but this is well after that period.
It has probably occured about 5 or 6 times since installing Froyo and would like to know what causes it, how to avoid it and what can be done to retrieve the app other than uninstalling re-installing.
My phone is an HTC Desire factory unbranded unlocked non-rooted

Delete the Android folder on SD and reboot.
Possibly repartition the SD card if still having problems.

Hi,
A couple of questions concering this
- What does the Android folder contain and what will I lose by deleting it?
- I haven't partitioned the card before and was wondering if this is something that would ever need to be done on a non-rooted phone and if so how would you do it?
Cheers

I dont see that option in settings/application. Can you be more specific?
i found this solution by googling, this may help someone drop by this thread
connect your device to your PC and manually delete the “smdl2temp1” file. The file is likely to reside in 2 locations:
1. /sdcard/.android_secure: this is an invisible folder on your SD card, which you can access with any file manager, like ASTRO
2. /mnt/secure/asec/: access to this folder requires root and a program like Root Explorer
it works for me.
is it solved now??

1. Try to backup everything in your sd card to your pc/laptop then reformat. Put in back and try to reroot.
2. You can also flash fully stock software/firmware via Odin.
3. You actually cannot post questions in General section as per rules.

Hello,
I have had my HTC One M8 for a while now but I wasn't really happy with the soundquality while playing through my headphones, so I looked for ways to improve it. I found a few methods and finally decided to give it a try. These methods require a root so yesterday I have rooted my phone for the first time. Unfortunately I am experiencing some problems now.
The rooting process went without too much trouble. I used hasoon2000's toolkit and have TWRP version 2.7.0.2 installed as recovery and used it to install the provided SuperSU, which didn't work at first. On the forums I found a newer version and installed that one, updated it and got it to work.
Now this is where I think I messed up: I read somewhere that when rooted, you are able to delete pre-installed apps from the phone. I downloaded SD maid and deleted Kid Mode, Zoe and 7digital. When I deleted Kid Mode I got an error saying it has crashed. I tapped away the error but from this point I couldn't go back to my homescreen anymore because my launcher kept crashing (com.htc.launcher crashed). I rebooted the phone and the launcher worked again, but the phone still seemed to be buggy.
After this I tried to install the snapdragon audio+ (this was my first choice for an equalizer). I downloaded the apk and moved it to the system folder using ES file manager. I installed but when I tried to use it (through settings in google play music app) my phone would crash. I uninstalled it and tried again, but when I tried to move the apk to the system map like before, my phone would crash everytime. I then found out the file I used doesn't work for lollipop so I figured that's what caused the crashes.
My next move was to try and install viper4android. I downloaded it from the Play Store and opened it. It told me it needed an installation of BusyBox so I downloaded that too. But when I opened the BusyBox app and clicked install my phone would crash again. After some searching I found that the HTC One M8 requires BusyBox to be flashed manually so I downloaded the file but when I tried to load it onto my phone I noticed this wasn't possible anymore.
Now when I connect my phone to my PC the PC recognizes it, but when I open the map in Windows Explorer it only shows three maps; .showme, _nero_sync and Ringtones. I know there should be more as they were there before. It also shows my phone's capacity as a total of 10GB (shouldn't this be 16GB?). Also when I try to connect it with Sync Manager it gives me an error everytime I reconnect the phone; Device unavailable. Please reconnect your device [4].
I have tried to reset the phone through settings, wipe with TWRP and fix permissions with TWRP. I also tried reinstalling Sync Manager and the drivers on my PC. What I'm thinking now is I maybe have done something wrong in the ES file explorer that would make the folders unaccessible.
My phone is running stock android 5.0.1 and my PC Windows 7 64-bit.
I hope someone can help me, Thanks.
P.S: Sorry for the long post, I figured I'd give as much info as possible.
@Steef076 First update recovery to the latest one (2.8.6.0)
Second if you go and delete vital or integrated parts of the stock rom you will get a lot of bugs. Third, viper4android requires to write system and you can't write system with the stock kernel, you need an unsecured kernel or unsecure it yourself.
10GB is right since 6 is eaten by android. At this point I would just revert to a backup or install any custom rom around here. Most are close to stock and with no bloatware and come with root. You can even clean them further using a tool called ROM Cleaner. It will most likely solve all your problems
Did the deleted system apps reappear after reboot, or do they remain "uninstalled"? If the system is write protected like TempestZ states, any deleted system apps should reappear after a reboot.
Revert your nandroid to restore the system apps. And you didn't make a nandroid, you really should before making any system modifications for the very reason that it allows you to revert if you run into problems.
Another good practice, is if you don't know what effect deleting a system app will have (such as "safe to delete" lists that can sometimes be found on XDA) you should first freeze the app with Titanium Backup. If freezing doesn't cause any issues, then go ahead and delete. If you do have issues, just unfreeze the app.

No, Windows will never show 16 GB. It only shows "internal storage" partition, or the user accessible portion of the storage. A good chunk is reserved for the OS.
Does what is shown in Windows differ from what is shown in ES if you browse to internal storage?
Thanks for the replies. @TempestZ @redpoint73
First of all I managed to update twrp to 2.8.6.0 using adb/fastboot.
To answer your question @redpoint73 the system apps I had deleted indeed reappeared after reboot. Also I didn't make a nandroid before I deleted the files, as I did not even know this was possible. Now I have made a nandroid of my stock ROM that is working decently, except for the TV app keeps crashing (I'm not opening it) and the connection to the PC is not working properly (not sure if this is ROM based?). I have noticed when the phone is in recovery I CAN see the folders through windows explorer. HTC sync manager still doesn't find it though. I am working on finding a proper stock ROM or maybe flash a custom one to see if that will fix it.
I understand now that the OS is taking up the storage space. The space windows is showing is the same as ES file manager so I guess this is fine.
HTC Sync is a hot mess. It often causes more troubles than it solves.
One thing you can try (to see if it fixes the USB connectivity) is uninstall HTC Sync and all HTC drivers. Than connect the phone. Don't let it install HTC Sync. Go to Windows Device Manager, find the device. Then pick the option to manually select the drivers, and pick the generic "Android MTP device" (or something to that effect) drivers.
This doesn't work for everyone. But it worked for me to be able to "see" the internal storage of my M8 on my home PC (Win 7). Annoyingly, it seems to vary from one PC to another. My work laptop (also Win 7) works fine with HTC Sync.

So if I understand correctly, 'version-main' is the same as 'firmware' and 'software number' (found in settings)? If so, my current firmware seems to be 4.19.114.2.
Now, what you're saying is I should do an OTA but this isn't possible because I have a custom recovery right?
Also, when I want to flash stock rom and stock recovery or do a nand don't I need the files that fit my cidnum? How would your file work for me?

If yours already on 4.19.114.2 then no need to do OTA as that the latest.
and my backup will bring back your device back to stock as you first bought it when restore with a full wipe.
Try to solve your problem first, only when you really need the backup then only I will upload ... let me know

Hello, sorry for the late reply.
I have decided to give a custom ROM a try. I now have ARHD 41.0 installed and it seems this took care of my problems. All the maps are showing in windows explorer and HTC sync manager is connecting properly with my phone again. Also no more crashing apps. Your backup would still be of much use for me as I am not sure I want to stick with a custom ROM and therefore would like to have a stock ROM backup.
Thanks in advance.
