[Q] Unable to download marketplace apps

All,
I'm having a bit of an issue after flashing the Android Revolution HD 5.1.6 ROM - it seems that whenever I try and download an app from the market that it fails to download.
I originally flashed the ROM and forgot to do the EXT4 so re-did it flashing the EXT4 first but still have an issue.
Strange thing is, my marketplace apps synced themselves on initial boot after flashing the rom so I have them, it's just getting any new apps that fails.
Any ideas?

Menu/settings/applications/ click the all tab. Scroll down to market and clear data and cache. Then try again. Should fix it.

I am having this problem exactly, except going from 5.1.6 to 5.1.7 with the EXT4 data partition format. Marketplace synced all my apps fine on first boot, but updating and installing any other apps is unsuccessful. Installing from market.android.com works fine. Clearing the market cache doest fix. Any ideas people?

Look for a folder in your sd card named lost dir and delete everything in it. Then delete any apk files in the android secure folder. Then wipe market data and cache. Then load market and see what happens.

I just flashed the 1.32 RUU and we're having the same problem there too, so Im gonna root it and use a fresh SD card on AR5 and see where that gets me...

Right Ive just flashed the 5.1.7 rom including the data partition wipe... On the SD card LITERALLY was a couple of folders containing mp3s and photos. Nothing android at all. I still cannot install anything from the marketplace. Any more ideas guys? It doesnt appear to be from the phone? Maybe Googles side?

I still can't get this working. I've tried clearing the cache partition and dalvik, fresh Rom install, clean SD card. I can install from the market website, but everything from the app fails.
Edit: just to clarify, clearing data partition and setting up a new Google account fixes the market... Which is pointless cause my paid apps are with my main gmail account. I restored the nandroid of the data partition and market is back to not working. It's becoming more and more clear that this is a Google issue with my account.

I'm also running ARHD 5.1.7 and I've found the market tries to download apps, then stops. Restarting the phone, and the file(s) download straightway without a problem... I suspect it's a Google issue, rather than a rom problem.

Same here, tryed also with new google account and works for it but not with my old account...

Oookay I'm up working again.... (AR 5.1.7 is brilliant BTW)
Id read about making sure Google talk was signed in, and id checked a fair few times, but it didn't work. I did just read something about logging out of talk and logging back in, so tried that and it worked. All fixed.

Worked for me !!! Thx a lot

[Q] Upgraded to Gingervillian 2.4 on HTC Desire. Problem with Dalvik app's force quit

Hi,
Had GV 2.1 running fine but thought i'd upgrade to 2.4. Backed all files up in TP first and installed zip file of 2.4 from recovery mode.
Went fine but SD card said 0mb and lost A2SD. int memory said 4mb instead of 60mb - 100mb like before.
As its been a couple of months since last modding, I forgot what to do so looked up issues and tried going to recovery again and clearing cache and wiping dalvik cache as well as installing a2sd Dark tremor script again which seemed to load fine but still no joy on int memory.
Then remembered last time I moved Dalvik to sd using terminal and this gave me my int memory, so I entered 'su, and A2sd cachepart'. It said successful so rebooted phone.
Then the trouble started. All app's one after the other started force quitting and I couldn't use anything inc terminal or TP. Obviously done something wrong.
Note. I have SD ext 4 for A2SD.
Anyway I've just rebooted to recovery and restored backup I did before upgrading ROM.
Can someone explain in layman's terms what went wrong and exactly what I need to do in order before/after upgrading to GV2.4 please?
P.S
Just booted after restoring from recovery however all personalization has gone. Back to stock gingervillian desktop. All app's and launcherpro gone widgets gone. Downloaded TP root from market again and restored all apps + data but launcher pro isn't there, have had to download from market again.
Gone to TP again and restored missing app's but goes to soft reboot half way through. This is even though the market is working as downloaded TP! The stress!

Apps on SD Card suddenly Disappear **Please Help**

Hi all,
I've search the other posts similar to my issue but haven't found the answer.
Recently, I moved apps to SD card in MIUI using the move to SD card function from with Programs (not apps 2 sd).
I rebooted into recovery to flash a hotfix for the ROM, wiped cache, dalvik and ran caulkin clear temp.
Upon rebooting, apps on CD card are not accesable (error launching activity) as well when I look at the apps in programs, I get a screenshot with com.program name etc (very similar to this screenshot http://i.imgur.com/YSfEl.png
I tried fixing permissions via terminal but i get this error (for apps on SD):
/mnt/asec/com.realarcade.CL4-1/pkg.apk does not exist (103 of 143). Reinstall...
/mnt/asec/com.amazon.mShop.android-1/pkg.apk does not exist (104 of 143). Reinstall...
/mnt/asec/com.dragonplay.blackjack-2/pkg.apk does not exist (105 of 143). Reinstall...
/mnt/asec/com.poynt.android-1/pkg.apk does not exist (106 of 143). Reinstall...
/mnt/asec/dk.logisoft.aircontrol-1/pkg.apk does not exist (107 of 143). Reinstall...
The only fix I have found was to uninstall and reinstall all apps on SD.
I've had to do this twice in the past week and would like to avoid this!!!
I did find in one of the other posts the mention that I should be backing up the SD-ext (amon ra). IF I got this error again, could i simply restore that backup (only the sd-ext)?
Thanks again, I really am stuck on this one.

Since you're using the built in Android method of moving apps, you're not using the ext partition (if you even have one). Instead you can backup .android_secure, but I've never had a need to move apps so I'm not really familiar with it.
I'm thinking it might be the clear temp zip that's doing it. You should be able to open it up & see if it's wiping .android_secure. If so, you can either not use it or try backing up & restoring afterwards.

I think it's the clear temp!!
I just flashed a new kernel, wiped cache and dalvik (didn't run the clear temp and i'm ok!!)

[Q] Desire GSM / CM7.1 / App2SD / Market issues

Hi all.
I've been running CM7.1 on my Desire GSM for a couple of weeks without any issues. Tonight I tried partitioning my SD card to get more app space and I seem to have come unstuck.
Here's the process I used...
Full nandroid backup using ClockworkMod recovery
Wipe data & cache, install CM7.1 stable and GApps from zip on SD
After first run, reboot into recovery
Partition SD card from ClockworkMod Recovery menu - partition size 1024 MB, swap size 0 MB
Reboot & attempt to access Market
At this point I get a host of errors - Google Talk begins to complain that it can't login to my account (never used Google Talk so this is the first time it's even come to my attention), and anything I try to download from the Market gives me a "[app name] could not be downloaded due to an error" message.
At this point I copied the .apk file I had backed up for Titanium Backup to my SD card and attempted to install manually - the install claimed to work, but Titanium Backup was not then available from my app drawer, as though it hadn't been installed at all.
My suspicion is that somehow I've cocked up the partitioning and the system is unable to read or write sd-ext. But I can't see that I've done anything wrong - though I'm new to all this, so there's every chance that I've missed something obvious.
Right now I'm restoring from my last Nandroid backup since, well, I need my phone and this can wait for the time being.
Any help that anyone can offer is appreciated.
Miz.

Flash this DarkTremor A2SD Script - http://box.net/files#/files/0/f/121132533/1/f_981313987
Then install A2SD Gui from market and set everything you like.

Cheers. Can't access that script though - "The item you are trying to access has either been deleted or is unavailable to you."
Will install A2SDGUI next chance I get.

A2SD Gui will not work without the script.
Try this link: http://www.box.net/shared/y9m9qap51mekqvl2kk29

Thanks, will give it a shot and report back on the results.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the info, all looking great now - including oodles of app space.

unable to format sdcard in cwm

I'm basically trying to move to the dalvik cache to my sd card for space reasons. I'm trying to format my sdcard for use with link2sd and other programs like it but I'm unable to do so in cwm. whenever i choose partition sdcard, it gives me the dialog like it does it correctly but nothing actually happens. I tried to partition the card on my pc but none of the link2sd programs recognize it. its as if the only thing those programs recognize is the internal storage and to my knowledge I can't do anything with that. if i can do it manually and avoid using the programs that'd be awesome. can anyone point me in the right direction?

...I'm kind at a loss for why you would want a virtual machine cache on an sd-card and not emmc. Perhaps I am 'not getting it'...care to explain?

i've had this problem for a couple of weeks now...downloads from the market over a certain size just won't go through. "insufficient space" "invalid package file" errors like those would pop up. i went to term. emulator and to check the mount sizes and my dalvik cache was 98% full. in titanium backup i saw an option to "integrate sys dalvik into ROM". i enabled that and it moved over 150 items from the dalvik to someplace in the system. that cleared up some space and now i'm only using 82% of the dalvik and i'm able to download and update from the market like normal. i know this problem is gonna come back and i'm trying to avoid it by moving the dalvik to the sd card where the space is plentiful.

I've never encountered this problem...I flash like crazy...I also migrate over all of my apps via TB...so...I have like 4 or 5 phones worth of apps following me around from rom to rom.....I don't have many big apps, so, of course YMMV--and likely will--but....perhaps this isn't, in fact, the actual problem but a symptom of another problem.
Have you had this issue with multiple roms? When was the last time you did a full wipe? On every phone I have either the stock rom or my favorite rom that I always go back to, no matter what, more than any other rom.....via nandroid....and I have never encountered this problem....any other customizations we should know about?

I've never had this issue before. I'm on the latest Calkulin ROM since I've switched from my HD2. This is the first time I've had this error pop up and I resolved it by moving some things around in the dalvik and freeing up some space. As stated earlier TB moved around 150 items and afterwards I was instantly able to download/update from the market. I don't really customize my phone other than the random theming here and there. I've switched ROMs back and forth to see if it was in fact the ROM and not something I did but the issue came back as soon as I restored my backed up apps via TB. I'm guessing the cache filled up with the data from the apps that are backed up with TB.

Here's one solution/quick fix: manually delete your dalvik cache with a file manager and then just flash an odexed Rom: Then your space issues would be solved, and there's not the issue of Dalvik taking up any room in the first place.

...and I have always preferred odex'd roms. makes sense.

so there's no way of installing the programs mentioned in the first post?

CM supports init scripts, right? Download Calkulin's ROM from the Dev section, extract it and check system/etc/init.d for a dalvik2cache (going by memory here, might not be the exact name) script. Might be able to use that.
