Installation failure -18 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear All!
I have reported already that I have some problems with my phone to install new apps and to update certain others. First of all, I set back the command installLocation to "0" - this has apparently helped to install new apps. However, this did not solve the update issue. Apps which have been shifted to the SD card need to be moved back to the internal storage before an update can be led successfully. Today, for the first time, I got a failure notice: "Installation failure -18". Does this information help in order to resolve the issue? Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Glumardok

I have done a hard reset and installed most of my previous apps but when I try to load new apps I get the "Installation Unsuccessful error"

[Q] "Apllication not installed" Error

I guess that would be the Error message translated to English.
Everytime I try to upgrade a programm via the packet manager, I get this Error. It does not occur if I install a new program or if I install/upgrade anything via the market.
With the help of google I found out that I should delete the "smdl2tmp1.asec" on the sdcard, but this file simply does not exist, I even looked for it with the Terminal emu as su.
Also I changed the install options from external to automatic, doesn't help either.
My ROM is CM7.0.3
Any ideas how to fix this?
Is it possible to get an error message that is a little more helpful?
Thanks in advance
(I can actually just uninstall the application and then install the new version, but that way I lose all my settings, which is rather annoying)

Solved: NETCFv35 Installation Error.

If you are getting the below error then here's the fix... At least it worked for me.
"Installation error. Stop all applications and processes, maximize available storage space, and run installation again. Support info: 2"
After a Google run I was told countless times to do a hard re-set. Then I just decided to simply do what the error said. I pulled up task manager and killed most of my apps/processes. Low and behold, NETCFv35 finally took.
I know this seems like a no brainier, but I couldn't believe how many forums were telling its members that the only way out is a dreaded hard re-set.

GT540 market and system fault

Hey guys,
i know you won´t like to hear that question, but I am trying to fix that issue for 2 days now but nothing works.
At first, I don´t know too much about all that stuff, but I tried to flash another ROM on my GT540 anyway. Obviously that didn´t work out to good.
The last ROM i flashed on my phone was V20B_00.kdz. I also reset it numerous times. I tried to use different usernames to log in to my google account at the phone. However, when I start the phone I get the fault
"System UIDs Inconsistent: UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable. >> I´m feeling lucky"
When I click "I´m feeling lucky" I get the next fault
"Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. >> Force close"
I get the second fault every time I try to start the Market. A market update didn´t work. I installed an alternative Market, still get the same fault. When I try to download the apps at my Laptop and put it on my SD card of the phone to install it, I get the fault
"Parse Error. There is a problem parsing the package. >> OK"
I tried to install an App to fix that first fault. I think it was ROM_Manager_5.0.0.1. But I get that Parse fault.
I might have changed the memory space for the system with one ROM that I had flashed to the phone. I am not sure about it. I have seen that this might be an issue for some system apps when the system partition would be too small.
I also updated my phone with LG Mobile Support Tool. So I flashed it, reset it, updated it, and now have no idea what do to, as I am not the biggest expert in that.
Help would be great. Thank you.

[Q] Package File Signature Error help

Hello my name is Sean and I have recently rooted my phone (captivate glide) and installed a custom ROM. Whenever I try to update apps like the AT&T Code Scanner, Qik Video Lite, Andoid Keyboard, or even Google Play itself I receive this error message:
"Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
Also when I run certain apps like Spot Hero or Clash of Clans I get the following message:
"Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."
I have searched the forums and found a few instances with similar problems, but the issue was either never resolved or didn't match the problem I was experiencing. I've Googled the problem and a few folks suggested using Titanium Back Up to uninstall the app in question and then re-install, but I have read some users say that they are then unable to re-install the app. I don't want to lose any functionality, so I haven't tried that.
Here is a step-by-step of what I did to my phone:
1) Shutdown my phone and rebooted into download mode with Odin 3.04 running
2) Flash CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY 6.0.1.2 (found here)
3) Reboot in download mode
4) Flash stock ICS ROM (found here)
5) Flash Superuser 3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip (following the instructions found here)
5) Flash GApps.zip for 4.0.4 (found here)
6) Reboot and the phone says it's upgrading Android and optimizing applications
7) Once the phone is booted up and the SD card is done scanning I run into the problem described above
Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so, please share your insights.
Thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions I would welcome the help.
hello
i remember i had same problem when i was using ics, i think you shoulr flash anotherics gapps from diferent source. I do not remember where i downloaded mine
I tried some different gapps and I got some apps like Hangouts to update, but now I receive this message when I try to install Google Play Services:
"Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID."
I did some further looking into this and found that if I wiped my /system data and reflashed my gapps.zipp that seems to work. I installed Youtube first (since it requires Google Play Services) and that took care of everything.
Unfortunately I have lost any progress I may have made in my game apps and have to download/update everything from scratch and reset my ring tones and such, but at least I have a fully functional, rooted phone.
Actually I take that back. Google Play Services seems to be cooperating, but now I'm getting the package file signature problem again.
I resolved the issue by starting over and following Rawr0w0's guide half way down this thread.
