Maybe switching ROMs or re-flashing your current ROM will work. Give it a shot, backup your apps of course.

Are they apps that you have ever had installed? Try installing an app that you have never had installed and see if that works. If it does, then use a file explorer (I use astro), and see if there's anything in the folder titled ".android_secure" (without the quotes of course) on your sdcard. I actually had this problem before, and there was some left over app data that was interfering with the installation I guess
geez was hoping this would work but I just checked my astro application and checked android secure and all directories are empty. also this is a problem with applications that I ready have that need to be updated and brand new applications I am downloading from the market... I just get a triangle with an ! in the middle of itfor each application that did not successfully install... and this is a brand new problem haven't done anything different been running the newes t fresh for months now

What is your memory situation?
Froyo apps2sd ? A2sd ?
GO into recovery and clear cache and Dalvick cache.
Try wiping the market data this happened to me couldn't update or install anything and it worked
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Did you install your previous apps from the market or did download apk's then install them? Try Settings>Applications>Manage Clear market cache and data that might work like the other person said. Check your memory. What rom are you using? Try backing everything up then go do a factory reset and then setup up your google account that's what I did when that happened to me months back and seemed to work. Hope I helped
Hi there!
I hope i'm not opening a repeated thread. I've search ( not correctly i think ) but i couldn't find any significant answer.
I've recently installed MIUI on my defy...
Now i want to install cyanogenmod and i'd like to know whether i can flash over miui without losing any data nor app.
Or should i have to downgrade to Froyo, lose ( surely i'll do a backup ) all my data, root my phone, install SndInit Defy and flash cm7?
Thus, what i have to do?
Thanks,
regards.

Well.. it won't brick your phone if you try to install the rom just by applying and wiping cache/dalvik only. I wouldn't recommend it, but you could give it a try. Do a backup first.
But despite that, I don't see that making a backup of the important apps and data via Titanium and applying that afterwards is so much work.

You see, the problem is that once i try to restore all apps from Titanium, it always ask the permission ( i.e. if i want to install the app or not )! It doesn't do a silent-install.
It's such a boring thing tapping "Install" for over 60 times :\.
Am i wrong or is there a way to do a silent restore of all backups?
Wipe data and cache from Custom Recovery and then flash CM7 without rebooting after wiping.

I've read that only Titanium Backup Pro has this feature... I'm disappointed :\.
i wanted to know this too.
i am on cm7 and updating it is a cake.... i wanted to know if i can do the same interchangeably with cMIUI.
since both the roms are still developing. trying each and restoring backup is a pain.
any advice?

I have used both and I am currently coming back to CM7.
MIUI is somewhat frustrating for me, constant forceclose on the most basic apps and every update requires some kind of retinkering to get it back to work correctly (like reinstalling gapps and Ti).
Also, i dont like the stock MIUI apps such as dialer, messenger and contacts. I know that I can replace them but its a custom ROM and it think it should be optimal out of the box. I can deal with replacing one but at least three are too many for me.
I know this wasnt supposed to be a review but i wouldn't bother replacing CM7 with MIUI.
everytime ive installed a custom rom it breaks after i reboot the phone.
ive tried gingerburst, insertCoin, aceSmod for HTC desire and they dont work very well at all...
after i reboot the phone after restoring via titanium backup my widgets get messed up and my htc people app doesnt work properly either.
am i restoring it wrong or something with titanium backup? :S has anyone else came across this problem?
With your apps that the widgets are based on, are they saved to internal storage? Because if they're saved to sd card they will not work, they must be in internal storage to work.

Did you restore the red apps with titanium? Don't do this. It will corrupt your Rom.

i click on menu>batches>restore all apps with data then select all and restore. take it this is bad then?
^No need to restore system apps (the ones in red), because your new system apps are the ones that came with your new ROM. Restore only user apps + data.
thanks guys

Unless one is using a2sd+. Then android "thinks" they are still stored in internal memory (although they are stored in ext partition of sd card) and so the widgets still work.
just installed a custom ROM again and restored with titanium backup.
this time i only backed up the green apps/data and only restored the green apps/data as well.
still the same problem though after first reboot.
Do you run a complete wipe when you flash a new rom? I suggest to delete ALL backups made with titanium backup, run a complete new one, flash new rom with complete wipe, reboot after first boot of the new rom, and then restore apps + userdata with tb.
If this does not help, install all apps manually and only restore their data with tb.

yes, i do run a complete wipe. i will try again later thanks.
MatDroid, I think if he has more than a hundred user apps (like me), it'd be bloody to re-install apps manually. This can often be fixed by Root Toolbox's "Fix Permissions" function, which fixes broken market links and mismatched backups/restores. Dunno if the free version of RT has it though, as I'm using the paid Pro version.
Just for fun. But who knows, it might help someone out there.
First thing I do is to install titanium backup and restore my preferred keyboard - Swype. There is surprisingly no rom that comes with this as default keyboard. Nobody here uses it?
After that I just check out what the rom has to offer and see if everything's working right. If I like it I start restoring my apps and setting up stuff.
Post yours.

im not being rude here but after flashing a new rom, i reboot my phone. lol
just joking.
login my google account, and sync my contacts. install root explorer, link2sd, reboot, restore apps or data thru titanium, then explorer the rom. oh before i forgot, i text my own number to be sure that i have the correct csc.
and lastly, install opera mini, go to xda, give a feedback. hope it helps, just a reminder, reboot first. hahaha

after flashing new roms, I boot the Phone, then go over all the Android Introductory questions until i get into the phone's menu... after that, I restart my phone. Boot into recovery, and wipe /cache and /data. reboot. and then go over the android questions. Check the hardware if they are still working, and observe if there are any differences.. I then set up my calendar, alarms, ringtones... restore messages from sim card, reinstall apps as APKs. The last thing I do is login to google, then to Samsung for the SIM Change Alert...
First, I get rid of the bloatwares (if any). Then, I restore my apps w/ Titanium Backup. Then, I login to Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

This thread helps me a lot ..
Btw.. First thing after wiping data or reflashing is rooting, restore apps from titanium, set ringtone, wallpaper and then set the setting of my phone and some apps. add some launcher (GO launcher EX) and then install memory cleaner (1 tap) .. and uhmmm.... i CHEck if there is anything wrong in my phone by dialing *#0*#. I hope there is an app that checks everything on the phone's hardware so that im not so tired of checking it's application like camera or music player if it's working... is there any??
That's absolutely essential for me Titanium all the way
Due to the limited space available on this phone, I have always had to delete and reinstall apps as needed. I meant to uninstall the first 2 updates for google play, to make some room, so I could update them when I wanted to install an app. I ended up uninstalling the final time, which completely removed Google Play/Android Market.
How would I go about getting it on this phone with severely limited storage?
FYI, it is rooted with stock ROM.

you could probably open a gapps package for one of the aosp roms like cyanogenmod ect and take the market app. then using a root file browser move it to system/app and then set the permissions to the same as the rest of the apps in that folder and then reboot.
just be sure to get the right gapps package for your android version. I.E if your on stock then you are still on gingerbread, so i would use the cm7 gapps as that is also gingerbread.

Flashing with the gapps is one option. But, if you flashed with the wrong one (for eg, gapps for ICS & JB should not be used to flash with the Custom HTC ROM since it runs on Ginger Bread) that could lead to more issues
How about following this link and downloading the apk?This would be helpful only if you have any File manager. Once downloaded , just browse to the apk file and click on it. I would prefer Astro File manager
Well, if you don't have a file manager, then you can download it from here
Oh Yeah .. Almost forgot
Make sure that the option "Allow installation of non-market apps" is checked.
psst..
Try Link2SD and create some partitions in your SD card . You can save some space by doing this
Well, I'm kind of screwed now. I tried a factory reset, from the recovery menu, and STILL didn't get market/google play back. I managed to install titanium backup when a friend sent it to me via bluetooth (before the factory reset), so I backed everything up, but now I don't have anything installed, and I'm pretty sure I lost root as well.
I guess it's more incentive to get that new phone I've been eyeing. Will backed up messages/contacts from gingerbread restore to ICS via titanium backup?

Why did you do that? Factory reset only deletes data files that are not there on stock. It cannot restore anything you have deleted from the system....
If you flash a superuser root zip from recovery you will regain root. Then use adb to install a file browser. Look around to get a copy of es explorer. Its free from the market therefore not warez. Once you have that installed follow the post above to regain the market. No need to get a new phone man. If your really stuck then just flash a custom gingerbread rom and you will have it all back.
Also some app data will restore from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich but which will all depend on how much the app changes between versions.

Hey cam94z28 ,I don't think buying a new phone is necessary. You can just get it right . Then again, its you call
If you are planning to buy a new phone just because of the above mentioned issue, that won't be necessary dude . Flash a new ROM like heavy_metal_man said. Try Wildchild2 or WC3.3. You will get the HTC stock ROM looks rather than the Default Gingerbread looks (as in the case of CyanogenMod 7). Well, one good thing about these ROMs are that they are 99.9% stable . Also, installing the ROM is that all it takes, you don't have to flash gapps or anything. Another good thing is that Anthony has preloaded the ROMs with 'Android Market' app , which is faster and takes less space of our internal memory. Give it a try, mate make sure that your phone is rooted before flashing a new ROM
you can download google play from external sites or just search google android-vending.apk of latest version

I don't think it would go well while changing android versions due to app changes. It maybe would work if updating between versions of cyanogenmod/aosp/aokp roms. Or at a push from sense to sense but these apps are very different from sense to aosp and i dont believe titanium backup would flash data to a different app, and the os change would possibley not support the old apk. I use an app called sms back up restore to back up my texts, and android offers a export contacts to your sd card function. So I use that

Yes, I got root back, the zip was still on the sd card. It keeps wanting to upgrade to the newest su binary, but fails every time.
I ended up having a friend send me root explorer via gmail. I downloaded the .apk right from the gmail app, and installed. After enabling r/w mode in root explorer, moving the vending.apk from Wildfire S appropriate gapps package to the /system/app folder, setting permissions, and rebooting, google play is working again. I wish I had done that before doing a factory reset. I backed up first with titanium backup, but can't seem to restore contacts or messages. Tried restoring "Messages", and "MessageCS". Appears to be successful, but nothing shows up in the Messages app.

I guess I used it as an excuse to get a new phone. I always wanted to try a different ROM on my Wildfire S, but now, there's really no need. I guess I could use it as my "experimentation phone", and run everything from Wi-Fi
I ended up getting a LG Optimus L9, and moving to T-Mobile. Very happy with the phone. Not happy with their 4G service so far, but it's only the first day. So far internet is very laggy, and only seems to average 3 bars (out of 5),while Virgin Mobile 3G was always very responsive, and usually had it's total of 4 bars maxed out.
I got the wal-mart $30 special (100 minutes, Unlimited text, Unlimited data, First 5GB at 4G, then throttled). That's a better data plan than VM, but if the service is sluggish, who cares.
