After about one day running either rom my gapps or google services framework gets constant force closes. I've tried clearing the cache through settings and wiping through titanium backup and it just keeps happening. How can I go about fixing this?
really No one wants to try and help? It is seeming to happen every time I install flash from the market anyone think of any suggestions how to go about fixing it?
Run a FORMAT_ALL.zip and only use the official gapps packages from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/#versions
Note that a FORMAT_ALL.zip (search in this forum to find it) does exactly what it says: Formats all of your internal partitions (except WiMax, of course); /system, /data, /cache, and /boot.

Hey guys, I'm starting have some problems when installing applications on my mt3gs.
First I thought it was the apps, because only like 2 apps wouldn't install, but now NO apps will install.. I keep on getting the error, "Package file is invalid.". I have no idea what it means, I was hoping I could get some help..
Here's some details,
I'm using the "SLIDE MR1.v4 With Eclair" rom.
I've had it for a few months, haven't had any problems with it.
Then about 2 or 3 days before the 14th of august, I set up my sd card and phone for Apps2SD, it worked.
I don't know if the rom is the issue, or the app2sd is the issue, but I'm just looking for some help.
If you need anymore information about the phone, just ask I'll glady provide you guys with it. I REALLY need the help, because as of now; I'm unable to install any applications.
Got It...
What I did to fix this was...
Clear Market Cache (Settings->Applications->All->Market->Clear Cache)
Clear System Cache
Clear Dalvik Cache
The step that did it for me was clearing dalvik cache. Just posted this so it was up for anyone who needed to find it (one of the first pages on google). Couldn't find the proper solution anywhere else.
P.S. Your phone has to be rooted to do the last two steps. (Google "Android Clear Dalvik Cache")
P.S.S Your phone will take a while to reboot after clearing the Dalvik Cache. That's normal.
Ok, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can never get rid of stuff completely.... like my Gapps are still there after everything and all I install is CM
I tried:
Wipe data/user settings
Wipe Cache
Wipe Davlik Cache
I also tried:
Wipe data/user settings
Wipe Cache
Wipe Davlik Cache
Format Data (in Partitions)
Format Cache (in Partitions)
Format Boot (in Partitions)
Format System (in Partitions)
I have tried both these options and I am still left with remnants of previous ROMs. Any suggestions? Do I have to load PC36IMG.zip and then root everytime to have a clean install? Seems a little extreme...

Clockwork 2.5 (previously), but I just switched to RA Recovery v2.2.2 still have Gapps on my phone... CM doesn't include Gapps right? I remember having to install them before unless something changed
Can't get rid of gapps, dude. CM requires it that they be there so they're protected files that you can't erase (unless you flash a new rom, which has all the gapps built in anyway).
I hope you like Google programs, because you are stuck with em

I love Gapps! I just suspect some of my FCs is because I had an older version of them. I am running CM7 now and I have the new GB Gapps but I thought it was odd that Gmail, Maps, etc was still on there before I even flashed the new Gapps
So to answer my original question, there is no way to completely wipe short of reimaging with PC36IMG and rooting again?
Run FORMAT_ALL from the post below. Once its down booting your new install, do not put your information into the setup wizard (just keep hitting skip). This will get you a clean install. REMEMBER FORMAT ALL WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE (not sdcard/recovery/boot/s-off).

I'll give it a go, but according to Caulkin's thread all it is doing is what I did already! (wipe data, cache & format boot/system) I will try it out though. Thanks!
I did never try skipping the setup wizard... Hmm

This is the key, it will not restore the old apps, if you skip the wizard.
Well, I did it! Yippee!
I did the following this time around:
Wipe data/user settings
Wipe cache
Wipe Davlik cache
Ran Caulkin's Format_all.zip
Installed CM7 nightly
Funny thing is, it bypassed the setup altogether... I'm guessing because Gapps were finally gone! It brought me right to the home screen, I opened up apps and no Gmail, no Market, nothing! Finally!
So I rebooted Recovery, installed GB Gapps and I am running smooth as butter (No FCs yet!)
Thanks everyone! Especially bwcorvis for the link to Caulkin's script
Glad i could help

[ROM] StarBurst Froyo HTC 2.29.405 [17 Feb] Stable Data2SD | Unlimited memory | Stock
I'm now having problems with Market downloads, messages like "package file is invalid".
I've tried wiping the dalvik cache as per the FAQ but that only allowed me to install one more app. Funny thing is that the problem developed over time, with the first few Market apps installing trouble-free. Any ideas? I seem to be unable to post this at the StarBurst forum.
I´ve had the same problem and wiped my Dalvik-Cache but now my phone doesn´t want to boot :/
I just read at StarBurst´s blog that I shouldn´t have done it, but there´s no solution given for what to do if I´ve mistakenly done it.
Is there anything I can do now without deleting all of my data? It´s not important to save my personal data like contacts or something else, but I wouldn´t like to loose my app data
tried this rom but wasn't that good
I haven't had any problems w/ Market on StarBurst 1.3.3.4 or when I was with 1.3.3.5.
First, save all of your SD card data onto your PC hard drive, then do the 3 wipes: wipe data, cache and dalvik-cache. If you have synched your contacts and calendar, good. If you haven't, do it before wiping. ALso, did you guys partition properly? Remember the sequence: Partition the FAT32 portion first, then the EXT4. Starburst works best on EXT4, and won't work well with EXT1 or EXT2.
Do a nandroid backup, execute the 3 wipes, repartition your SD card using GParted, then reflash StarBurst. If you're wary of re-installing every app you've ever installed, then download TitaniumBackup from either Market or AppBrain on your PC, then save the APK into your SD card, then use File Explorer to launch it. TitaniumBackup backs up all your apps and settings, so you won't have to manually reinstall everything later on.
Wiping dalvik cache is on the list of donts.. Once wiped the kernel hangs at boot looking for dex files..it's a well known issue..
The recommended method to remove dalvik cache is to delete it in titanium.. Or with adb while system is running..
The market file parse error as mentioned is again on the list of faqs which should have been read.. It is because the system partition is full.. The solution too is on my site. It is to convert the W version script you have now, into the latest X script which had that issue solved..
Guys, read the faq page on my site when you have issues, or preferably before you have them.. If you have rom specific problems, post them in Starburst thread where experienced people can see it and respond..If you're unable to post there, tough..

I've been having this issue for the past couple of weeks and I don't know how to resolve it. At first I thought it might have been my ROM so I wiped everything clean and flashed a new ROM but the problem still exists. I read on a forum that the cache partition could be full so I used Terminal Emulator to check the disk usage and I'm reading that my /cache is 98% full. I also have a dalvik cache in the cache folder as well as a dalvik cache in my /data folder both of which are close to 300mb in size. I tried to clear the cache and dalvik cache in recovery before resorting to the full wipe and each time both cache rebuilt themselves. I'm completely at a loss and I'd really appreciate some help with this issue. Thanks in advance.
So you're out of space? Perhaps you have several backups from CWM taking up all the room. They are pretty large files. I myself keep my stock backup and my most recent, the rest of them rest on my pc.

thats not the case here. i dug around a bit and saw that my cache and dalvik cache are 98% full. as stated earlier i tried deleting the dalvik cache but it regenerates itself. i looked around in titanium backup and saw an option to integrate some of the cache to the system. i enabled that and it moved around 150 items around and freed up some space. i'm still around 88% full and i know this problem is gonna rear it's ugly head very soon so I'm trying to install programs like link2sd and as2d+. none of these programs are working though...they all require partitioned sd cards (which i have) but none of these programs are seeing the partitioned card. i've tried repartitioning under recovery but that does absolutely nothing. anyway e4gt users can take advantage of these programs?
I had the same issue and it was driving me crazy. I just downloaded Cache Fixer and ran it and now I am good. Turns out my cache was 95% full, wiped it using that tool and I can now update and download.
I want to add that after it cleared, I could update but some of the other apps on the phone did no work (Google Music and Dolphin Browser to nae a few). I re-boot and the cache is back to pre clearing levels and no other issues. It does temporarily fix the isse bt I do not have a permanent fix.
If anyone has one, I would love to know what that may be.
i just want to say that I am having the same exact issue and performed the same steps the OP did. Only when I wipe the cache with cache fixer it everything forces closes so i can't update anything. So i am really stuck.
The only success that I have temporarily is uninstalling the app then resinstalling it. But thats not a permanent solution and sucks for apps like beautiful widgets.
PLEASE HELP
EDIT: on calkulins 3.0 rom and self updated google play
Hey guys, got a strange problem here. I'm running MIUI-XJ 2.3.30 A2SD.
Had 8 apps to update via Google Play and 31mb internal left (over 600mb on sd-ext, too). In the middle of updating the apps I've got a Google Play crash followed by few other fc's, phone said my internal memory is too low to operate and such - so I tried the most obvious fix, which is of course rebooting the phone.
That was a mistake, apparently. Phone will not boot anymore - goes through the bootscreen and gets stuck on the yellow MIUI splash. It's not a bootloop, the phone just freezes and the only thing I can do is battery removal. Tried booting it up with no sd card as well, nothing seems to help though.
Is there anything I can do except full wipe via recovery? I had some important sms and spent quite a bit of time customizing the desktop, I'm not to keen on doing that again.
Is it possible to delete some apps via adb or something like that? Or is there a point in trying to install the rom again on top of my system?
Thanks in advance, help really appreciated!
Try clearing dalvik cache and cache from recovery and then boot. Thereafter clear some space or change your a2sd scheme.
Thanks for the answer! Makes me feel silly I did not think of that myself lol, sounds like an obvious solution.
Problem is, it still does not seem to help though - wiped /cache and dalvik-cache on data, sd-ext and system - still nothing, same problem persists. Stuck at MIUI bootanimation.
Any other ideas? I'm really kind of desperate to recover the data.
- Take a nandroid backup first. So you can start over if need be.
Some things to try
- Only flash ROM and see if it helps.
- Wipe data. Flash ROM fresh. Install Titanium Backup. With TB locate nandroid on sdcard and try to extract your data. Maybe restoring the launcher and messaging will do the trick. Not sure . Try. You can always start over.
- Fix permissions in recovery
There's an app called AROMA Filemanager that can be started from recovery and allows you to modify all phone partitions, all you need is to mount them before starting the app. Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25911276
Tried flashing the ROM again on top of my system - no effect whatsoever, still gets stuck at bootanimation. Also, tried the permission fix as well as the RMD recovery "apk uid mismatches" fix. Still nothing.
Going to give the AROMA a try, having some problems right now though - using RMD recovery, no touch support. Trying to flash 4ext touch from fastboot somehow!
Thank you. Will keep you updated.
UPDATE//
Managed to get the AROMA up and running, deleted few apps from /data/apps, nothing to delete from /system really. /cache is cleared, so are all 3 dalvik-cache folders.
System still does not want to start.
Any ideas what might have happened? Seems like I'm running out of options and will have to do a clear install, after all.
You probably damaged some important system files so tho phone can't load system. The best solution is to restore some nand backup if you have, or to do a full wipe and start from scratch.

If that was the case, reflashing the ROM on top of my current system should fix the problem, while it didn't - right? Also, I find it hard to believe that "important system files" could have been damaged during routine Google Play apps update...
Than a full wipe and fresh install is inevitable...
