[Q] Help with missing market app - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a bit of a strange problem. It seems that I lost almost all the apps on my phone. I had a crash during skiing whit my phone in my pocket and after the next restart almost all my downloaded apps are gone. When I go to "Manage applications" I can see their URI's (com.blablabla.blablabla) but when I click them it says that they no longer exist. I can install new apps that i have on the SD card so it seems that if I reinstall them I should be fine. The problem is I don have the market app, and when I try to install it from a downloaded .apk it says "Application not installed" and no additional info.
So my question is where do I go from here? Do I have to somehow clean every trace of the market and then reinstall it?
I'm running CM7.1
Any help would be awesome

You should be able to copy the market apk to your system app folder, and then set permissions to match the other apps in there, I think it's

My bad Thx

side load the market app , look for the apk of the web (maybe xda) market is called vending apk , copy to sd card then use file browser eg astro to install .
if you do not have a file browser in that rom you can send a email to yourself with the apk (be sure to have unknown sources on ) then click download after it has downloaded it should apear in your download app or status bar click it then it will allow you to install the app .

Anyway I reflashed CM7.1.

[APP] Facebook 1.6.3

This version includes features such as Facebook chat, allows you to tag friends in statuses, and home screen in landscape.
Please read directions as I am not responsible for anything the happens to your A7
Requirements:
Uninstaller for Root(Found in Market)
Root Explorer(Found in Market) or a Alternate File Explore App
Facebook 1.6.3 (Found here: www.apktop.com/facebook-for-android-1-6-3.html )
Open Uninstaller for Root, scroll down to the Facebook App and then click backup App, after click Uninstall
Next open Root Explore and navigate to /sdcard, once in /sdcard navigate to download folder will you will find and copy the file: com.facebook.katana.apk
Once copied you will need to paste apk file in /system/app (may need to toggle MOUNT R/O), after apk has been pasted, click on apk to install and you are all finished
facebook should be installable as a normal application. while the root related instructions are necessary for removal, i would just suggest tapping on the new facebook apk in the file manager to install ( w unknown sources enabled in settings/apps).
your facebook will be updatable via market after install that way, w out need for system app removal in the future.

Thanks,I just did it your way but the only thing i don't understand is how is it updatable if it doesn't appear in "My Apps" in the market?
mmm, manually installed apps might not show up in the old patched market, but i think they do in the new market (havent patched or ported that for a7 yet). i know i see manually added apps on my x10.
if you were to look up the facebook app in market, you may see it listed as updatable still, tho it may not show in your downloaded apps.
if youre not seeing facebook or the other apps youre posting in market at all (search), then youre not using my patched market.

I copied the file "Dina.apk" to my Epic 4g touch but it won't install. It goes through the motions then says, "Application not installed".

you need to put it in your system/App folder using root explorer and set permissions, it can't be installed using a package installer
I've tried this method on my GS2 with the provided file and I just can't get it to work. It did work with the MicrobesGl live wallpaper though.
Hello,
You can generate a CWM script to install all share and other apps here:

Did you set the right permissions?

I deleted the DigitalClock widget by accident. I know there's plenty in market, but I liked the stock one. Anyway, I have the .apk, moved the .apk to /system/app with Root Explorer and changed the permissions (now it's rw-r--r--). But still, when trying to install, the message "Application not installed" appears.

when the app is moved into the system/app folder it is then installed, no need running the .apk through a package installer because youll just get the "Application not installed" error, this is because your trying to install a system app which is what the apk is and not a standard installable app.
once moved into the system/app folder and permissions set, check your widgets if not there do a reboot then check again, if its still not there then your doing something wrong or setting the wrong permissions.
If it's not installing, could it be because it's a Samsung app? For example the stock camera, phone and messaging apps just won't install when I'm on CM7. So I'm assuming the same is true for Allshare, though I may be wrong.

Thanks, tried all but the widget won't appear on the list. I guess something is wrong with the .apk then.

Samsung apps will only work on Samsung ROMs unless modded to work on ALL Android devices just like any other app specific to any other ROM
The app in this thread is odexed and for thus wont work with most ROMs as these are deodexed.

Keeps telling I can't copy to the folder because it is read only....
imediashare from play store is much better than all share, has built in HD channels and can show your youtube and facebook vids/photo/music

Tab 2 7.0 no file copy
I took down the Dnla.zip, renamed it to Dnla.apk and moved it to my Tab 2 7.0. Then I used ES File and tried to move it to Root/System /App but it fails. I understand I need to change permissions for this. How do I accomplish this without rooting the device?

Android Market ... WTF?

Hey guys,
This is my first time using an Android device so I am not experienced with the Android Market but this seems messed up.
I am using the Android Market on a rooted Kindle Fire. When I try to download any app (free or otherwise), it shows at 'Downloading'. The app will not actually download until I go online with my PC to the Android Market and choose to download the same app. Once that happens, the app shows up on my Kindle Fire.
Is this normal or is there some sort of setting that I need to tweak? Thanks
Also .. is there any way to make the Android Market the default market rather than the Amazon market?
For example, when I go to install a Dolphin HD plugin, it looks for it in the Amazon Kindle Market which doesn't work because I'm in Canada.
Use a different market app. Vending.apk gave me same problem, com.amarket.apk didnt.
Should say version 3.3.1.1 I believe.
And no,c ant changed default market yet.

Thanks but there's a slight problem. When I try to side load the apk, it won't install. Tried uninstalling the original market app but the option is grayed out.

You cannot directly side-load the market apk because it will go to Data/App and not System/App. Go to the the Tools > Applications setting on your KF and then select 'Show All Applications'. Go to Market and click clear data. See if you can deinstall. If not, You'll need to use Root Explorer (or similar), delete the old apk from Data/App. Using Root Explorer, copy the market 3.3.1.1 apk from your SDCARD location and then navigate to System/App. Set the mount to R/W. Paste the 3.3.1.1 apk to the system/app folder. Long press on the newly pasted market apk and change permissions to match other system/app or just give it all permissions for now. Reboot the Kindle and you should be fine.

I followed someones ( sorry don't recall who to give credit to) advise on this. Using root explorer, navigate to /system/app and add .bak to the MarketIntentProxy.apk worked to automatically take market links to market instead of amazon appstore.

Why would you like to install it as a system app?
Installing it normally e.g. on CM9 via play store works fine.

Basically you just install the Google Map first
Then install Root Browser Lite and open it (you may try other browsers but I personally prefer this)
Find and move Google Map (I don't know its exact name in there) from /data/app to /system/app
Fix the permission to rw-r--r-- (644)
Reboot
Done

you cant install system apps like that ..you have to get the original gallery.apk and place (copy paste using any file explorer) it in the system/app directory ..after that you have to set permisiions to rw-r-r using a root explorer and reboot..
use ES file explorer for all this stuff... it works as a root explorer as well....

check google play for system app installer. its the easiest method if you dont want to go through the crap of installing the apps the more technical way.

I think u misunderstood , u just have to copy paste the app in system/app directory..after that just set permissions u don't have to install the app after that and if you don't try to install this app you wont get that error message , and after u set permission just reboot..
Btw, could u tell me the steps you are doing...?

Yes, done as you said.
First..copied the .apk file into system/app folder and setup permissions. and then reset to factory settings --> didn't work
then tried to same 2 steps and restarted the phone---> no luck.
i am unable to know what to do now.
