[Q] Can install/update maximum of two apps at a time, then no more

Posted this thread a couple of days ago, kinda the same issues, kinda not. Enough that I think it warrants a new thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948712
I can install/update a maximum of two apps. After that any others that were downloading simultaneously will just get stuck in that un-cancelable "installing" state. If I only downloaded/updated two apps then no others will download update until I follow my "solution" on the thread mentioned above.
Any ideas?

backup your apps with titanium, try a new rom, see if another gives you problems, if it does then restore the one you have now, if its fixed with another rom then restore your backups and enjoy a new rom

I backup apps and data regularly with Titanium. I use the Stock 2.2, rooted, S-Off. "Try another rom" is not a solution.

Coupled with the issues you had on the other thread -- have you considered that you might have a problem with your SD card? If you remove the card entirely and try to install more than two or three applications, does it still occur? I think you also said something about having a large amount of programs already installed. I don't know if the large number of applications can cause any types of market issues.

SD card has been tested and tested again for errors and issues. There are none.
However you are correct about the removal of the sd card. I removed it and installed 5 apps in quick succession. All were downloading at the same time and installed without problems.
Also the issue I was having in the previous thread is back and the solution I posted no longer works.

That's really strange. I'd guess your phone doesn't like the card. Have you applied the SD card speed tweaks that have been going around? Maybe using different values may help.

Backup only the irreplaceable things from it sdcard (pics/video/music).
Try wiping it delvik cache. That helped me with installation issues.
Id also format it sdcard for safety.

Dalvik was wiped regularly as I was looking for a solution. Tried the backup and format earlier today as well.
Tried deleting the android.secure and no go also.

If it works okay with your SD card removed, it's going to be an issue with the card, even if you haven't been able to find one otherwise. If you have another card around, try to put that one in and see if it works.

[solved][Q] widgets problem

Hi guys,i've just ran into a problem, whenever i install a new app and try to add it's widget to the homescreen i cant find them!i installed and re-installed many apps n even wiped cache but still no new widgets added to the widget list
Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advance

Every app doesn't have a widget. Read from the market description if it's even supposed to have a widget and then report back.

Thanks for you're help Hawks556,in the market it does say it has several widgets,and to be specific its PlayerPro..and to explain more i had PowerAMP and i uninstalled it,after i discovered this this problem i re-installed back and also it didn't have the widgets although its used to..
I appreciate you're help

Allright, just had to make sure there aren't any confusions. Tried the PlayerPro app myself and I have no problems with thi widgets. What rom are you using?

I am using Android Revolution HD Beta4 (gingerbread) and i didn't have any problems so far..sorry to trouble you my friend

Have you tried wiping dalvik cache from recovery?

Yea i tried that but also no result

The apps aren't installed on the SDcard by any chance?

Man you are my hero!i just moved them to the phone and the widgets showed up!i was just about to do a full wipe and re-install everything!thank you very very much!but just so i know,why didn't they show when they were on the SD carf?

I'm not sure about the exact reason but I think it's just built like that. It takes a while for the phone to initialize the sd card when you boot (you can see the icon in the statusbar). This in turn would probably result in some errors when loading the widgets from the sdcard as it's not ready yet. I hope you can make some sense of this
P.S. you can always hit the thanks button

Man am really thankful for ur help,and be sure i will press that button as soon as am back to my laptop,am using xda app right now..
Again,thank you

[Q] Leedroid problem. Need help!

Apparently I can't post this in the development forums cause I have less than 10 posts
Anyways, I've S-offed my desire, partitioned my SD card, flashed the newest Leedroid Sense Rom, and after installing Handscent (the only app I've installed so far) I am un-able to install anything else as my phone gives me an out of space error. This Rom came with a whole bunch of apps I didn't use before (switched from Oxygen because I wanted the new sense)
How can I move all those apps to the SD card?
Also, anyone know where I can get the Sense 3.0 dock with the ring? I love that!
Thank you!
P.S Please don't flog me! lol. I did so much reading my eyes are square now and it's possible I may have missed this being asked and answered

don't worry there is a lot to read, can be very
1. Have you tried clearing the cache and data of Market in Manage Applications? I've found sometimes deleting data of 'Download Manager' and 'Updater' works too, basically anything linked with market. Keep trying until the Market decides to download again.
2. Apps should be installed to the SD card by default if you partitioned your card directly. Use Quick System Info PRO (free) to check, assuming your market is working by then, it'll show how much space is being used on each partition. Keep the apps "on the phone", no need to manually "move to SD", as they are fooled into being installed on the ext partition. App data will still take up internal memory, the FAQ linked below explains it very well.
3. Install the Sense 3.0 addon pack on the first page, flash via recovery. I've not tried it myself as I read that it can cause the phone to be very laggy.
Hope this helps. There's a very good FAQ and mod thread linked on every page of the Leedroid thread if you need more help, i've found them the most useful.

Decks 1.3d RELOADED

Ok so I went to MikG3.11 to give sense another try and I loved it for the most part.... But It felt like it was getting stale so I browsed around for some new roms to check out and came across an old favorite... BUT UPDATED!
And so came Decks RELOADED. Honestly, I love the changes they made and how it's all looking. However I'm having a HUGE problem getting this ROM set up. In Aroma Setup I choose my theme, then install options and I make my choices.... But upon install Nothing gets installed. Just the default apps. No Gapps, just the basics. So I tried to install Titanium and it said I could restore my old device name (Avast uses this i believe) so I let it restore.... Instant reboot and then there's no market or TB.
So then I decided to do a basic install and peruse through the ZIP and pull out the APK's I wanted and flashed. Worked perfectly. Was getting everything set up and was running out of space. So I flashed DTA2SD as basic install didn't do that for me and it rebooted as expected. Only when it finally did it's last bootup ALL my restored apps were gone and same with GO Launcher. Wtf am I doing wrong?
I have the latest Amonra and did superwipe twice as well as Factory Reset before hand. I cannot get this to install properly. I never had this many problems with original Decks 1.3d

Could you list the choices you make in Aroma? From beginning to end.
The Creator of Suds N' Bubbles

Yeah sure. In fact I kinda have to. I just set it up AGAIN, but this time flashed the dta2sd that came with the rom and made sure it was there. Got all my apps installed and applied my 3g turbocharger setting 5 and redid my v6 charger to see what kind of changes I would notice (Didn't apply v6 last time) and rebooted...
AGAIN all my apps are gone and it's like I just wasted 4 hours banging my head into a wall. EVERYTHING I just did is gone.
So I honestly have no idea what is going on here but I have NEVER had this much trouble with flashing a ROM before.
UPDATE: Rebooted my phone for the 3rd time now during typing this out and noticed most if not all apps restored, are showing up. However Go Launcher is not there and neither is Play Store. Will post more info once fully booted.

Please do.
The Creator of Suds N' Bubbles

Ok same thing. It loads some of the apps and 1/3rd (roughly) are still missing. Still no Play Store.

Trying it one more time, but this time not wiping. Will post back with results. Any and all help would be very nice. Thank you
Edit: Everything appeared to install fine during install screen. Infact, says it completed. Installer Status is 0. Don't know if that's good or bad. Will post logcat if needed.

After flashing again without wiping... I notice no change at all. Same wallpaper I previously applied is still there and no changes in app drawer. I am entirely stumped. After numerous tries with many different settings, I cannot get this ROM to install correctly. Is there something I'm doing wrong or a bad download link? I think I should just go with a different ROM? :C

You're going to have to read through the thread. All of those problems that you are having have been discussed, and fixes to them have been offered.
I've been running Reloaded since it was released, and haven't felt the need to flash another ROM since.

Let's start with this. Kernel FSO means File Sharing Off (I think, can't remember completely)
I want you to redownload the Rom, back up your SD card to your computer, Partition your SD to ext3 1024 swap size 0, move everything back, Wipe everything EXCEPT SD card, flash the newly downloaded Rom, Select only the apps you need, (no need to flash tb apps already backed up) then if all goes well and you get install status 0, DO NOT reboot, and go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, THEN you can reboot.
See if that works. Good luck man.

Thank you. And thank you too poster above. I fell so hard in love with Decks 1.3d when I jumped on the AOSP train. To see this and play with it for even a minute and I'm right back in the saddle. I will try all this, I would really rather not reformat and repartition my SD card.... but If I must, I must.
I downloaded a cleaner script and following the OP WORD TO WORD. I normally never use a cleaner script as I never had a problem flashing, but I'm gonna try it out.
PS: What is the advantace/Disadvantage to FSO?

If you aren't using smelkusMOD recovery, you should. And supposedly FSO makes it faster or something. I don't remember the exact definition or differences.

That's what I meant. I'm using that recovery and I love it actually. But, the problem being is I just did a fresh download, fresh install as described.... However I didn't format my SD card.... COME ON MAN THERE MUST BE OTHER TRICKS!
32gb is ****ing LONG to back up dude.... LOL

Well with must distaste for it, I'm going to reformat my SD card. Normally go with EXT2, But I guess everybody is going with EXT3 now. Was wary because of constant access to the card, deteriorating it and whatnot, but I will give it a go.
I still have a feeling this isn't going to work. I honestly think this ROM just does not like my phone for whatever reason. I've downloaded from GOO and DEV, and no matter what install options I select in Aroma, none of them ever install. I will post back if I get it to work

Well, it seemed to do the trick! Oddly enough wiping my entire SD seemed to let Aroma do it's thing. Any idea though guys why this had hindered Aroma from functioning properly?
Proceeding to place all my apps back onto my SD card. Only the important ones though,

Glad it worked. Most likely was your sd card not being set up properly

When deleting info off a SD card you never really erase 100% of what you delete till you format, after weeks, months years that **** adds up and causes issues. I format or partion my SD once every 1 or 2 months.

sorry for being late OP, but i had the EXACT same problem with my latest install. fortunately it did not remove the play store so i just re downloaded and installed the apps. it is never a bad idea to keep a backup of the play store on Titanium Backup. I have had no problems since and my a2sd is working flawlessly. also, feel free to join the Deck's reloaded general discussion thread. there is a lot of good tips in the OP and there is a lot to learn there.

Very slow??

Hi guys,
I've been using Cyanogenmod 7, and it was going very slow. I decided to completely wipe the phone and SD card and start from scratch with Andromadus Mimicry ROM. It is much faster I find but I still get the random slowdowns.
My biggest problems seem to be with the Facebook app, it slows down the phone incredibly. even when you exit the app, unless you force close it, the whole phone goes to a crawl.
I also find even if I uninstall the facebook app, I get lots of random slowdowns, like random times during the day I'll go to read my SMS and it takes FOREVER to load (go sms app)
any ideas?

Are your partitions ext4? Did you debug and follow the steps in the Mimicry OP?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

4EXT is paid software eh? don't really want to pay for it if I can avoid it, any other way of checking??
Wheres the debug steps?

4ext is a free custom recovery, there is an app similar to rom manager that is a paid app. if you don't want to support the developer for whatever reason your choice, but you can still flash the 4ext recoverey via fastboot or a pc10img
can you get a logcat? if your slowdowns are easily duplicated then plug phone into computer, and run a logcat through adb when you are experiancing this
*facebook apps is terrible* (so is facebook)
study the op of mimcry, search the threads for similar problems.
just an fyi - mimcry is one of the best ics roms for the vision and if you are having strange slowdowns then either a bug needs to be reported or you did something wrong
(didn't fully wipe, still in ext3, etc)
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

thanks man, I tried android market and can only find a paid app called 4ext. I use clockworkmod recovery as thats what cyanogenmod 7 recommended, I have not activley done anything to setup ext4 though as there was nothing in mimcry instructions for this.
i cant easily duplicate the issue as it happens totally at random.
i fully wiped and reset to factory defaults before installing mimcry also

go into tsubus' ilwt cm7 thread, there you will find a link to superwipeg2+ext4, this will wipe all and change format of everything but sd card to ext4
don't check the market for custom recoveries, you go there for apps, look for the 4ext thread in the dev section or just google it

okay thanks for your help! i got 4ext installed and checked info, so my system partition is ext4, data and cache are ext3... sd card is fat32
so I need to wipe and redo it with ext4 for all of them?

all but sd card should be ext4
sd card should be fat32
sdext (if you have it) should be ext4

you're great help thanks heaps.
so now I've got 4ext and i ran superwipeg2+ext4, then reinstalled my mimcry rom, just reinstalling all my apps i want now, will see how it goes
checked info and everything is now ext4 apart from sd card which is fat32. hope this makes a good difference!

damnit, no improovement still slow as fawk, just started up endomondo and signed in, now have a black screen and a crashed phone for the last 5 mins... oh wait now it loaded... grr

Please read the FAQ in the Mimicry OP. You need to find the apps causing the slowdowns and either uninstall them or wipe their data if you're restoring app data from Titanium backup.

I am having a very hard time finding which apps are causing this, and none were restored, all were installed totally fresh from market after fresh install of the ROM.

Install watchdog, or view wakelock use with betterbatterystats. Better yet, use logcat and grab a log of the slowdowns as they happen.

Thanks, I am happy to get a log using logcat, do you have some basic instructions for me to do this? I already have android SDK installed, is it a matter of just running adb logcat and waiting or?

Yep, though I would use Watchdog first to see if it alerts on any high cpu processes.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Sounds good man, just installed watchdog and will see how it goes thanks for your advice

strangely enough watchdog has not found a single problem yet even though my phone keeps slowing down every now and then, seems to be slightly less frequent now after all the apps have settled in I guess? still certainly doing it though
also one other issue I found is a program I use called AirDroid stops working properly through its web interface if the phone locks, which I didnt have this problem on CM7

Mind if i but in, but this problem is discussed and handled well in the AOKP nik3rs rom EliteMod & EliteKernel ICS* (which I highley recommend!)
But Its seems one of the problems that can cause this is bcuz you some people still have there apps backed up from there GB rom with their account and switching to ICS rom will only install the GB forms of the app from the market its highley recommended to backup data from apps in Titanum, and Install all new apps to your account and then restore data from Titanium.
Also I have alsot noticed that in 4ext sometimes Superwipe isn't always the answer Try Using the "Format All (except SDCARD)" option in 4ext it seems to clear away alot more bugs then superwipe! hope that helps..
Also try elitemods dataswap and sdext patch if you stay on mimicry!

Thanks man might have to give that ROM a try. And once again I fully wiped and loaded the ROM and I installed each application freshly from the google play store. nothing was backed up or restored so thats not the problem

Maybe I should have been more clear in my last post, Are you using SD-EXT? or data swap? and The way I have to flash is sometimes is after dalvike/cache ofcourse
1- Factory/data reset
2.-Then apply the zip superwipe (let it reboot)
3.-Then apply the FORMAT ALL EXCEPT SDCARD option in 4ext
....and just to note you are mounting everything before you wipe right?
Hope this can help.
And if not I would again highly recommend the EliteMod Rom its the best!!
