The tread says it all, So I rooted my phone and uninstalled amazon mp3 and city id via titanium backup. What will happen when I go to update in the future. Is there a way to add these applications back without doing any flashing?
What are my options to be able to update via OTA without having any issues?
I have tried moving the cityid.apk to the system/app folder and installed it from there, but it just installed as a normal application that can be removed.. I figured that I need to install it as a system application. I now know that I should have just renamed them.
Thanks

Amazon MP3 is in the Market. You should have rooted, used ROM Manager to back up your system, and then removed bloat. Most ROM's have these items removed, some still use CityID or another version that does the same thing.
My suggestion is if you are rooted, you can backup your apps and such, just run another ROM.
I couldn't find CityID in the Market, but various ROM postings may have the apk for download if you wanted to re-add it. I would check those postings to see if it is listed there, and make a directory to move the files to if you think you may need them again! Prevents headaches, especially if they are needed due to corruption or something weird.
Correct me if I am wrong, the only reason I wanted to restore these applications was so I could update when honeycomb or whatever the new Update is going to be.
With that being said, could I just downgrade my phone using the PB31IMG.zip , that would wipe everything out.. removing root, and it would bring back original files that were on phone ( city id etc.) then the phone would automatically update itself over the air? problem solved?
You could just run ruu on it if I'm not wrong

Well now I am really confused, the cityid.apk file just randomly showed back up in the browser... so i went and looked and it says it's a system app and wont let me uninstall it now... haha... this is so weird, so now I just need to find the original amazon mp3 then i will put it back in there and see if that works.
Is anyone able to get the Amazon Mp3.apk and upload it and send to me. I would like to get the one that originally came with my phone. Version 1.7.67 it is the one that came with stock froyo
I tried on my own and after running it on new rom I get a "Parse error" type of message.
First I nandroid backup/swipe.
Then install the new rom(SPrint lovers 3.7)
Then I went right to the marketplace and downloaded TB again.
It tells me to go to settings/applications and check the install "Unknown apps install" button. so I do that.
Then I open TB again and go to batch, then I selected the restore all apps options and it gives me a error.
I read somewhere it says you have to install them one by one?
I read somewhere something about you have to mount a few programs or something?
I know I was able to do then in batch but try one by one it might work.

I see, well can you list the steps you would take to RESTORE the saved apps because I don't know if I did it the correct way or just forgot to install a side app.
well i figured it out from the link posted above,thanks. so i'll give it one more try.
I would recommend on buying the full version. Make sure you tap on PROBLEMS and then download BusyBox. Afterwards you can hit MENU-BATCH and BACKUP USER APPS. I'd recommend not messing with any of the other options. If you flash different ROM's a lot it's better to just backup the apps ONLY.
If you were to do for example BACKUP USER APPS and SYSTEM DATA that could potentially bring a whole bunch of errors on your new ROM's and tons of Force Closes.
What I prefer to do is to manually download all my apps between ROM swaps and then using Titanium Backup to restore the data. An example of what I'm talking about is if you have a game that you regularly play, you'd want to restore your data so you don't have to go through the game again. Hope that's simple enough to understand.
You said when you try to download it from the market it says check install unknown applications? Its not suppose to do that... You must have downloaded it and tried installing through a app like astro. If so download another version and try.

Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4!
Does anyone have an issue with the market? I can not download anything. In catlog it shows can't find pathname for completed download uri.
Any ideas?
tried a battery pull? Just checked mine, works fine.
YES tried this.. I did have a problem with the latest market where I had to uninstall the market update to revert back to the ORIG market (before the update) to get it to download anything.. BUT since I did a ROM update, I dont have the old version anymore .. so NOW the latest version of the market does not download at all....
Any ideas??
If google voice came on your rom, make sure you haven't killed or uninstalled it. That will mess up market downloads sometimes.

I dont think it came with the ROM but I did install it. Anyway, its there and running fine so I guess that isnt the issue with the market...
HMMM
You could try installing an older version of the market. Has it worked at all since the rom update? Or it just isn't working right now?

It was not working BEFORE the rom update but I was able to uninstall the market update and use the OLD market and it worked fine..
SO I believe this is a GOOGLE MARKET ISSUE.. where can I find the previous market that WILL install on the EVO?
If you want, you can pm me with your email & I'll email you the vending.apk that came with cm6 for the Evo. I'm not sure if you can simply replace the apk in system/app or how to go about installing, but if you want it I'll send it to you.

Just so you know, you can upload it here in the thread as well. And yes, the market apk can be replaced.

When I click insert, it only gives the option to insert from gallery, camera, or URL. This may be because I'm on my phone, not sure.
And second, I just remembered that my market is themed. I don't think this will cause problems but the op may not want a matted blues market. If not I could pull it out of the original rom download.

Yea, that's just cause you're on the mobile app. And it wouldn't make a difference, just his preference, but yea the original apk could be pulled.
Also OP, what rom are you using?
This was a big problem for me, and I wasted many many hours trying to solve the problem of the android market, that didn't donwload, update or install anytnhig.
But i found the solution in a forum and my market is working fine now
Epsilonbass from droid forums.net:
"Connect your phone to your computer, set in usb mass storage mode. Look for a hidden folder called ".android_secure" and then delete the file "smdl2tmp1.asec". Unmount and you should be good to go."
And all is working
I don't have smdl2tmp1.asec in that folder
Are you referring to the problem of random things being considered "not compatible" for your phone?
Yeah if you are talking new market (version 3.x) the problems go deeper than that.
Custom dpi (lcd density) causes the incompatible problem.
I went back to market 2.3.6

You don't understand how much I have tested to try to find the reason behind it. I was going to test that tomorrow morning. It's always the last thing.
Is there a way to force the app to download regardless of screen density? My Desire is showing more and more apps as incompatible because I use a density of 200 instead of 240... don't really feel like changing back just for an app install or two.
i solved this problem by clearing data , cache , uninstalling update of Market and rebooting my phone
Thankfully I have a backup of 2.3.6, which appears to be the last version that is even remotely usable.
I regularly have to restore 2.3.6 in order to update an app. Of course after a while the Market updates itself to the latest 3.x version (thanks for that). Usually things work for a while after this update, but eventually there will be an app update that either can't be installed (no install option) or that is flagged as not being available in my country (even though it's already installed. So I have to restore 2.3.6 again and the cycle continues...
I use the default LCD density and clearing the Market cache and data doesn't help.
Bottom line, Market 3.x is just plain buggy.
Google is really messing up with this.

If you use titanium backup you can freeze "market updater" to put an end to that.

Does that just prevent the Market from being updated or does it also stop apps from being updated? I'm assuming it's only the Market. Anyway I'll try it and see what happens, thanks.

No such file, either with computer, or terminal app, or rooted explorer.
But I've finally managed to get rid of this bug, deleting Market data with Titanium Backup, as I could only delete cache in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All Applications > Android Market (which was not enough).
My friend was getting "purchase canceled" error for free apps on Archos honeycomb tablet.
Market version was 1.x but looked like no market I have ever seen. We installed the 3.1.5 from my thunderbolt over his tablet version, and now he can download again.
With the new market not able to update or download new applications.
Wiping market data only tempararily allows downloads.
Marker 2.3.6 is only working.
To prevent auto update, delet or rename marketupdater.apk
It solved my problem.
But, why can't we use the new version?
Hey guys,
I just root my HOX (STOCK 4.0.4). The problem is I can't download apps from marker or to update apps.
I get an error message: Application requires newer SDK version.
What did I do wrong?
Thank you,
Evy

That maybe the Play Store thinking you have a newer Android version, even though that is strange considering that ICS and JB apps should all be compatible.
Try this, go to Application Manager from the Settings menu (or you can access it by using the context menu in the app drawer) and then select the Google Play Store. You then delete de data and cache from the app and relaunch it again to see if the problem is gone.
Did you make any changes to your build.prop file?
I'm getting the same error when trying to update Google Search through the app store. I'm also getting 'package file is invalid' when trying to update Tapatalk and a couple other apps that don't come to mind now.
This all started after I tried a new ROM that I didn't like then did a restore using Titanium to go back to Sick Sense. I backed up the data then wiped the phone (dalvik and all other caches), then reinstalled the ROM. Afterwards I restored the entire Titanium backup apps and data.
This is the first time I've wiped and re-romd since I initially rooted/romd six months ago. Until now I've never had any issues downloading apps from play store.
Could there be a file that was restored that possibly should not have been restored?
I tried what was suggested above but it didn't work. Any ideas?
This is my setup:
One X on AT&T
Android Version 4.0.3
Sick Sense HOXL ROM

You have a AT&T ..... wrong forum for you buddy. Problem may stay the same and at the end the solutions also....just to point out you are actually in the wrong section.
I appreciate your concern, thanks. But I believe this is a software issue and not a carrier problem.
Edit:
I also posted here because I actually did a search and this is the closest topic that matches my problem.

Yes at the end i think so too, it was just a pointer because there are still too many people in this forum with questions regarding the other one x phone. :thumbup:

I'm having similar problems as the OP is and I did change my build.prop. The sdk version was changed to 19 and then I had to change it back because my device was unusable with it set to 19. I should also note that I lost root after it was changed the first time, and I think I might also loose root on every reboot. It seems to be at a random time root disappears but I assume it's because of a reboot. I'm running the stock att sense 5 rom with 4.2.2, should be api 17. Has a solution been found to this?
Note - I understand this isn't the correct forum for the att HTC one x. The problem is similar to what I have and I didn't want to create a new thread.

Try doing a full wipe and install back the rom or flash the rom again with wiping cache and dalvik?
