HELP! I am running the latest SPRINT LOVERS ROM and have been having an issue with downloading NEW apps from the market and also installing updates to APPS. I could not get ANYTHING to install or download using the LATEST MARKET so I flash the OLD market to my phone. for the past week or so, I have been able to download SOME new apps and update SOME APPS. However, some apps, I had to uninstall and THEN reinstall or else I would get a INSTALL FAILED message. Now as of today, I cant download ANY new APPS as it downloads and then TRIES to install and I get a DOWNLOAD FAILED. In CATLOG I see "DEXOPT FAILED" and it references the downloaded file I was just downloading.
How do I fix this so that I can download again. I see in the android market forum that LOTS of people are having this issue but there is no resolution. I though it might be the memory card but I tried a different one and SAME issue. I also cleared the cache and DALVIK cache and same issue (the dexopt failed mentions the DALVIK CACHE). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Well, you can try reflashing the rom, going into apps clearing the market cache, reboot, or flash the newest gapps.

I have tried all of that.. SAME issue.. I'm not the only one with this issue.. I did a google search and a LOT of people have this issue.. all over different forums and the android market forum too!
GOOGLE must know about this and why arent they saying anything? there was a forum message that even had a google employee who commented and said they were working on the issue but no response again...

Go into recovery and wipe ur cache. The market stores apps there when downloading before it installs to the correct file on ur phone

The problem isn't the market, well the upgrading/installing new apps part isn't. There is a temp file that is on your sd card which is for the market, if that file gets corrupted or flagged with low on space, it'll prevent updates/new installs from happening. To fix this you need to delete that file, you can only see this file via plugged into a computer as a storage device then go to .android_secure and in there will be a random named file with .tmp at the end. Just delete that, unmount and restart the phone, after that it's back to installing again.

I dont have that TMP file in the folder mentioned. I know whichj on you are referring to and a while back I had this file which prevented me from installing files.. But I dont have it now.. any other ideas??
Note: the file is called smdl2tmp1.asec and I dont have it ...
Now something else strange... I SHOULD be able to download and install APPS with the card unmounted.. I cant EVEN download an APP if the card is mounted on the PC or unmounted from the phone settings.. any ideas
Also I notice that some times the phone will reboot while doing an install from market. I googled and saw others with this issue.

OK well I found something on another forum that mentioned re-flashing the ROM overtop fixed the market errors.. Well, it put the NEW market back and I cant download or INSTALL anything. I now am flashing the old market back.. any ideas? the new market wont even start a download as it ERRORS right away with DOWNLOAD failed...

I've tried to search around for some info but had no luck. I am also not allowed to post in the DT A2SD thread as I do not have a high enough post count. The problem is this:
A few apps that I am reinstalling from Titanium Backup are failing to install. I just partitioned my SD card (32gig class 10) to a 1gig EXT4 with a 32mb swap. I'm only moving apps and kept the Dalvik on internal memory for now. I started to restore my apps through Titanium Backup and the restore goes fine for awhile but then does a soft reboot toward the end. I've attempted this twice and had it happen both time. I am able to finish installing most of my apps when it turns back on except for 4. I get a failed to install from Titanium backup and the market when i try to restore them. My guess is that there is some partial installs from the soft reboot that are already on the EXT partition preventing them from installing. Any idea to a way to get these apps to reinstall again? Thanks for any help!
Cyanogen Mod 6.1.2
Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 03a
Titanium Backup Version 3.6.7.1
Edit: Just moved Dalvik to SD and still no luck
Edit2: Solved! Delete the smdl2tmp1.asec file from your .android_secure folder on your SDCard
Edit3: By deleting the whole .Android_Secure folder I am able to install apps after it has issues with rebooting the rom after an app install.
Hope this helps someone!
I just had this happen with a few apps. I went into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and found some let overs which I then removed, which allowed me to reinstall.
The one I had was actually the XDA App. I found the com.tapatalk.xda file (something relatively close to that) removed and was able to reinstall.
Good luck!

I checked in there and the apps are not showing in manage applications either. Thanks for the advice tho.
Yeah I didn't have the full app in there either but I did find those com.* files when you look at all apps that seemed to be related.
I probably just got lucky and found that one to be the problem.

I even double checked for the com files and only have a few android ones that do not seem related to the apps in question.
Solved: I ended up having an error installing a new app from the market and got a error 18. Found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755970
I was unable to remove the file in terminal so I just booted into recovery, mounted my sdcard, went into the .android_secure folder and deleted the smdl2tmp1.asec file there. By doing that I was able to install the app I wanted and install my older apps from the market. Didn't even bother using TB to restore them just in case.
Hope this info helps someone else!
^^Nice work!
Glad you figured it out.
I mentioned I also had an issue with the rom rebooting after installing apps. I deleted the .Android_Secure folder and I was able to continue to install apps again. Just a FYI if anyone has the issue.
I was told I can download handcent sms to fix a timestamp issue im having (because it automatically displays texts in the order they're received instead of using timestamps). However, I had the program and deleted it once before, but after reading up on it I still have a file somewhere on my phone called com.handcent.newsms, and having that somewhere on there is preventing me from installing handcent. I checked in titanium backup and its one of the files with a line through it (aka-its been deleted supposedly), and my phone has been searching my files using ES File Explorer since about 7 hours ago with 0 progress. Any ideas on where this file might be?
Same problem with the XDA Forums app. Had it, deleted it, but after searching Titanium Backup theres still a file being displayed called com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity and i'm assuming thats the reason I can download but not install the app. And idea where to find this one?
back everything up, boot into recovery and wipe data/cache. then reinstall everything
ive wiped several times when installing new roms (before i knew i even had this issue).
are you restoring the same rom after wiping? if you wipe then install a new rom there should be nothing leftover to give you issues
nope, ive installed a new one every time (to be more specific- miui, cm6, evozone.pure, evozone.riptide). and ive tried searching for the file on my file explorer and it just stays at 0% (on hour 8 now). It shows the files (the handcent one and the xda one) at the very bottom of Titanium Backup with a line through it.
when you touch that line does it not give you the option to delete it? if it is just a line that means that you have a backup for an app that is not currently installed
nope, and it says that theres no backup for it. it has the yellow sign with an exclamation mark in it next to it, which after i looked means theres "nothing"? this is doing a fantastic job of irritating the piss out of me.
in titanium backup, hit menu then clean dalvik, then reload app list, if still there then with a file explorer go into the titaniumbackup folder and delete the files associated with those entries
cleaned dalvik, still there. and thats the problem, i cant find any files associated with them.

Have you ever copied your SD card to your PC? If so - you can go into the TitaniumBackup folder on your SD from previous manual backups and just reinstal the apk from there... I do that all the time. When I flash a ROM, First I make a NAND backup of said ROM, restore all apps and info (Texts,Contacts,Emails etc) then I do a TB back up and a MyBackUpPro Backup and then I copy all the files from my SD (which will contain all the backups you just made)to safely keep all the back ups you just made safe on your PC...If you dont alredy do that kind of thing, maybe its a good idea to start for these types of problems
hope that helps, if not - I do have the Apks for both apps your looking for - I can email them to you if you want
make a backup of your sd card on your computer, then format it and put only a rom .zip file, wipe everything multiple times, install the rom from sd card
check if handcent or xda will install, if yes, replace the files on your sdcard that you copied before format.
if no you have successfully gotten somebody else as frustrated with your phone as you are
Worked, thanks a ton for the help

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
What is going on with this. I am on caulkins el29.
I have just installed it and I wanted to put Digitalclock.apk back on the phone.
I tried one I downloaded.
I tried one that was in my apps backup..
I tried one that was in uninstalled system apps.
Nothing works.
I even tried pulling my external sd card. I tried installing with the cable plugged in.
I tried unmounting and reformatting my sd card.
Nothing will get this stupid app to install. I have now dedicated 4 hours to trying to install a clock.
Does anyone have an idea of what is happening? I am on an epic touch, rooted with caulkins el29
You need to paste it into system/apps then install it...you will need root explorer or other app ...I think Esfile explorer may work also

Androzip says that it can't move it due to system restrictions.
esfile explorer won't let me get off of the sd card.

That's the only thing you didn't say you did, wipe cache and dalvik, reflash the rom, don't wipe data. It'll be back on there no problems.

OK, went into recovery. Wiped cache and dalvik cache. Reinstalled the rom.
Same thing. None of the apk's on the sd card will install.
I've used root explorer to copy and paste it into system apps. Changed permissions to rw-r-r and sometimes need to reboot.
I have the version from an ics theme that has the green replaced with blue.
If youdd like to try that one I can upload and post.

Well that didn't work... I see a lot of posts from people about this issue, but no one seems to know what's going on.
I don't know then. I'm on Caulkins ICS and have just copied it over.
May be stupid question as I'm sure you've tried everything but did you try deleting the old first?
Sorry it didn't help.
none of the system apks (put in the uninstalled folder) will install.
stuff on the market installs fine.
Gotta get root explorer bro, always works for me use the same method with it and be sure to toggle read/write settings, if not, make sure you have full root access and not partial, you may want to reflash the rom too.
Getting errors while trying to install apks from the Removed_App/system_app folder on the Bare ROM?
Be sure to install them through ADB, root explorer, etc. Don't try to install them by clicking on it like you would a normal apk
Ex. ADB command
Code:
remount rw
cat /sdcard/Removed_Apps/system_app/App.apk > /system/app/App.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/App.apk
chown 0.0 /system/app/App.apk
reboot
Copied straight from Calk.
i have the same issue, some of the stuff from titanium back up wouldn't install, and the same files won't install from the market either.
these are some of the stuff i've tried but yet failed
1. wipe cache and delvic
2. tried on other ics roms
3. formated sd card.
4. rebooted the phone.
it justs says, couldn't install on usb drive or sd card.
I would really like a fix.
it happened ever since I've install ICS. i do not feel like going back to GB
1. because of chances of bricking.
2. because it's a hassel.
With TBU try preferences/App Processing Mode
if it's set for direct change to indirect or vice versa. Might help. Supposed to help if app hangs on restore

how do you do this? in the market or titanium?
Sorry, Titanium Back Up..= tbu.
Open Titanium, menu, prefrences, scroll down to "App Processing Mode"
Once you open it there are 3 choices. Direct, Indirect and a third I cantt remember.
The FAQ for Titanium recommends indirect if you have problems during restore (like it hangs).
Not sure this will help. Did for me on an app so thought I would offer.

This is a common error that occurs with the Play Store sometimes after flashing ROMs without wiping data, or with an incomplete un-installation (apk corruption, etc.)
Simple to fix:
(I'm assuming you're rooted, chances are you are if you get this error)
- YOU'LL LOSE YOUR DATA FOR THAT APP (You would have done anyway, if it was uninstalled properly) -
1.) Using a root file manager, go to /data/data
2.) Find the package name of the app you're wanting to install
(Don't know the package name? Find the app you're wanting to install on the Play Store online and it's in the URL)
3.) Delete that folder. All of it.
4.) Try to install your app again, it should work now
5.) If you like, hit the thanks button
