I just rooted a Desire HD using Visionary+ and then when I try to download apps from Market it says that the app will be downloaded, but nothing happens. The apps stays on Starting download but it never starts. I think that it depends on the rooting process, because before that the Market worked correctly.
I have Android 2.2 Software number 1.32.405.6
if it doesnt work.......try downloading the apps like rom manager from other trusted sites............
most probably t will be fine after flashing a rom.........................
edit-dont download ur favourite apps now........ you will need a FULL WIPE B4 flashing a rom.....so all will be deleted....
now download only necessary items like ROM manager....

If you mean go on SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS, MANAGE APPLICATIONS, MARKET, CLEAR DATA or CLEAR CACHE, this doesn't work.
I had a similar problem a while ago - i fixed it by copying the contents of my sd onto my pc and copying my user data back .... one of the hidden dirs had something that a cache / app data wipe did not fix
Did you try to reinstall market ?
Downlaod link >>Market 2.3.3<<
I've got an HTC Desire GSM, previously on 7.0.0 RC recently updated to 7.1 STABLE, but have a problem with android market, loads of apps are coming up as “Your device is not compatible with this item” when I try and update them.
If I try to install anything new, same problem.
I've never changed the pixel density and I've tried clearing the android market data and cache, no change.
Also tried android market enabler app, still no fix.
Any ideas/suggestions? or is this a known issue?
have changed your HBOOT? I think that problem is due to the memory partition to just let r2 CM7 cache sometimes causes this error .... has a solution .... look in the search ....

Yes, I'm using bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
I've been hunting through search results for a few days but am overwhelmed by the number of results that come back talking about pixel density... will retry searching for HBOOT related answers...
Thanks!

Market reports that any application I try to apply an update is incompatible.
Market does not list *any* new applications to install...
Some searching suggests that I need apps2sd setup... so I was looking to install e2s... but I'd need the apk for that... and I can't install anything from market... fun fun fun.
Managed to find the apk somewhere, E2S installed and running... it's made no difference
If you try to login to the web version of the market, what device does it say you have? It's an odd issue to have.
Hmm, you're on to something there... when I log in my phone isn't listed... what could be causing that?
Just to clarify, the account lists all the applications I have installed (under my orders/my library).
When I go "My Devices" it just says "There are no Android devices associated with this account."
When you said you updated to 7.1 stable version did you flash it on top of your existing rom or did you make a full wipe?

Looks like a sync issue. Try to clear data for the market app and login again and see if that fixes it. Otherwise a full wipe and install is all that's left to do if you haven't yet.

I think I flashed *over*... I did a nandroid backup, wiped data, cache, flashed cm71, then restored the backup.

So just to be clear, the procedure for a full wipe and install would be:
1) Perform nandroid backup
2) Format the system, data & cache partitions
3) Perform a factory reset
4) Flash CM7.1
5) Flash the Google Apps zip package.
6) Restore nandroid backup

everything ok, except step 6!! DON'T restore ur nandroid..it restore everything (system and rom, data, apps, setting, sms, etc)..
if u restore it, its like if u never flashed cm7....restore ur nandroid only in case u want go back to ur previous rom if u don't like cm7
so after flash cm and the google apps, reboot ur phone (first boot may take a 5 minuts) and setup the rom..google account, apps from market, etc
if u like to restore ur apps (even sms and bookmarks for example) u can use titanium backup or other apps to restore a previous backup of these things
One more thing if you already wiped system, cache and dalvik then you wouldn't be able to boot to perform a factory reset. Unless I'm confused or didn't understand steps 2 and 3.

Got it, that was what I was thinking of, apologies for confusion.
I'll do titanium backup first and restore once the cleanup and flashing of CM71 is done.
try build.prop
Paste the build.prop in system folder. Then clear data of Google Services Framework from settings/applications/manage applications..... Restart phone...
this might not work on some roms and might corrupt the rom....
but u can always reflash it.... it worked with most of my roms...
after this ur phone vll be indentified as desire hd on the market...
Link for build.prop-http://www.4shared.com/file/t3ZbNHHk/build.html
So I tried flashing the rom and then restoring the backup wholesale... That caused the same issues to reoccur.
Tried flashing again and this time am restoring the backup one app+data at a time.
So far everything's working fine.
Many thanks to all that have helped with this.
Hey,
I'm about to update my Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1 with patch 4 to the latest build. I don't want to loose any of my apps/settings. Can I just install the new rom over my old one without loosing anything? Or is wiping necessary to have a properly working rom?
Use Titanium backup to backup all your data and after updating restore all apps. There are many tutorials on youtube if you need help.

If you flash latest build you don't need to flash patch v4

I already have CM7.2-RC1 with patch 4 flashed, but I want to patch update-cm-7.2.0-02112012-gio-KANG.zip.
The main thing I was wondering is: Can i just flash it and continue using it _without_ doing backups/full wipes etc.
That patch is for the latest build, flash the latest build and the last patch (not patch v4).
You don't seem to understand my question.
No you can't flash it without doing a wipe.
That's not true, at least for the big update (I didn't install the latest patch).
You can flash the update (the one in my signature) without wipe, at least it works on my Gio without a problem.
You may need to do wipe if you use ext4 partition on SD to store applications and it's managed not by S2E (as phiexz said).

Thank you JustVass,
I'll try it, but maybe i'll do backups just in case Luckily I am using S2E.
Make backups with Titanium Backup.
Flash the new version without wiping.
Problems? Wipe, restore as needed.
Incremental updates with minor changes often work fine without a wipe in between.
Heck, I flashed an ICS alpha on my Nexus, forgot to wipe, and it booted up with only a few issues (mostly widget/launcher related). Wiped because I didn't want to take any chances, but I think you get the point.
bassically, u dont need wipe data or cache
u need wipe if u want to install as fresh rom or u have problem without doing wipe data
Ok thanks guys, it really wasn't covered in anywhere. At least i didn't find anything about it after searching
You might still need to wipe when upgrading from 7.2RC1 to latest 7.2.
At least I had issues with say alarm notification - went alarm goes off and shows a dialog tapping any button makes the phone completely locked (until you reboot it... long hold and reboot menu still working there). Same with any other notification that turns on the screen after you locked it I think (I had same issues with SMS notification).
So I propose you do the following: update to new 7.2, back up apps (I used Titanium), contacts & SMS, move your apps from SD-ext (or if there's not enough space just delete them) - you need this step to avoid issues with apps reappearing but not working after you re-install S2E, then wipe, then re-install S2E, Titanium and restore everything back.
For the last 3 years I've had an iPhone 3Gs and just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S3 yesterday. I have the Bell Mobility S3, which is the SGH-I747m.
So last night I rooted the phone using Odin and the stock OS. I then installed clockworkmod and tried out Cyanogen Mod 10.
First I tried the latest nightly build and it worked fairly well until I released that GPS and network data didn't work.
So after that I tried the latest stable build and that worked for a while, but eventually it got to the point where data no longer worked. Also I wasn't getting any alerts for texts or e-mails.
So after this I went back to my stock ROM (just used Odin and did essentially what I did to root the phone).
Then I realized that I couldn't uninstall all these ridiculous apps, and am getting annoyed by some of the features.
Am I doing something wrong with Cyanogen?
I'd like to try ROMs again, but I'd like to save my current setup.
If I reboot into restore mode, and use clockwork mod to backup, will I be able to restore all my settings and everything later, or is there more steps?
Is there a cm build where everything works? So no issues with data, notifications, GPS, or anything else?
When I re ran odin, my clockwork mod seems to have disappeared. Can someone explain to me exactly what clockwork mod does?
I tried flashing multiple times before with both the latest nightly build and the most recent stable build. Both of them had their issues.
When u install cwm and reboot it wipes out cwm and reverts to stock. When u Odin cwm uncheck auto reboot and then manually boot into recovery

I had an issue today where maps and navigation refused to work. I had network data and GPS was working (it was able to find my location), but I couldn't navigate anywhere. When I typed in a destination it just infinitely loaded.
Also facebook timeline refused to refresh, kept saying network error, but I was able to use the browser.
All on CM10 stable build.
Any help?

To uninstall system apps, you need a root enabled file explorer (I use Root Explorer) to delete them from the /system/app folder. The other option is to download a system app remover from the Play Store. Be cautious when removing system apps though, as if you remove the wrong ones it can cause your system to be unstable/unbootable. Stick to the bloatware that you know shouldn't affect the rest of the ROM (AT&T apps, ect.)

Yes, that is called a nandroid backup, and it will be a complete system image. Once you restore it, your system will be exactly the same as it was when you did the backup.
As far as CM 10 stable goes, I have only had one real hiccup. When I open Maps, sometimes the GPS doesn't want to engage. Not sure why and haven't had time to troubleshoot. My favorite ROMs have always been CM though. Make sure when you flash, that you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe the divalk cache (advanced menu) from recovery before flashing to ensure a clean flash.
Welcome to Android, and happy flashing!

In my opinion making a nandroid backup of your stable stock rom is extremely important. This will allow you to restore back to a stable build should a ROM installation not work. Aside from that it gives you the ability to try different ROMS without having to redo the entire process should you go back to try one you have already installed.
There are a lot of options for removing "bloatware" out there. I have tried several but stick with Titanium Backup only because I like the layout and the option to backup apps and data (this can create its own issues of course). I can't stress enough on suprtrukr425's comment regarding removal of system apps from a ROM. Read, read, and read some more to ensure that you are removing apps that will not cause problems. If you are unsure leave it be. Generally speaking, I found that most of the carrier specific software is safe to remove.
Aside from that, good luck and have fun.
eukross and
What I usually try to do is this:
1. set up one ROM just how I like it with all the apps and settings
2. than do a FULL backup (backup with Titanium and backup thru clockwork)
3. load up a second ROM and get all the apps restored and settings how u like it
4. do a FULL backup.
Now you can switch from one to the other on daily basis to test one versus the other and which one you like better.
I recommend MIUI. I been a MIUI user for 3 years and i love their work.
I am kind of stuck and have searched endlessly...
I am rooted and running AOKP - d2att (4.2.1 JOP40D) Build 1.17.2013
AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII i747
I am trying to update the Rom - Everytime I have updated, I get the "unfortunately, android keyboard (aosp) has stopped" error. I just restore a backup and go to my older version again.
I was preparing to make another backup and noticed I'm out of space, my System Data is taking up 7,938MB!!! I have no idea why or how it got so out of control. I attempted to just do a Factory Reset, it looked as if it worked... however nothing was wiped.
Right now I'm just at a crossroads. I like the custom Rom (minus some serious flaws) but want to be able to update and have some free space. But I'm starting to think returning it to the stock firmware and just settling might be easier?
Any ideas on where I can clear up some space or what I can do to battle the AOSP error? Is there another Rom that may be a better choice, iI know they aren't "better" but an equal alternative maybe. I'm fairly new to all of this but have a decent understanding, I made a switch to Android after owning purely Iphones since the 3G.

Have you tried reflashing the ROM completely again from scratch with a full wipe ?
HOw are you installing the ROM ? When people say update I wonder if they mena a full wipe and flash of the ROM or are you using an updater

Once I download the update I reboot into recovery. wipe cache and dalvik cache. I make a backup and then..
-install zip from sdcard
-choose zip from sdcard
then pick the downloaded update and then repeat the process with the gapps.
Once it loads, all my contacts and things appear there.. with the AOSP error.
I think after explaining this and reading your post, I should do a full wipe and install the newest version of the ROM. I hate to be a pest, what would be the best way to do this. I have Titanium Backup Pro. I really only care about my contacts and text messages and some apps.

You have have to flash the updated gapps if you aren't. They are made for 4.2.2 and nothing earlier. If you flash the same gapps as you flashed earlier you'll get loads of issues.

Ok, so I have ran the update gapps as well previously. A current status update. I backed up all my pictures, contacts and ran backup of system data with Titanium Pro. I wiped cache, cleared the Delvik cache, wiped data.. just realized I wasn't going into Mounts and Storage and not doing a format /system. That might explain why it was getting so massive. After doing those in the correct order, I flashed the ROM and Gapps and new Kernal. Its currently booting...
Success.. Its up and running the new Rom, however.. I have a new question. I have no apps and everything is back to how it all started. I know I can run titanium backup and restore things. But google is automatically installing my apps back one by one. There has to be a correct way to do this? I'm patiently waiting for it to install titanium so I can restore my texts and settings.

you dont have to make a backup every single time you want to update. thats whats taking up all your internal memory. i have 1 stock backup that i made the day i flashed aokp 4.1.2 and then 1 backup of my current setup. if i ever want/need to restore, i'm all set. if you want to make a backup every single time, move the older files to your PC and keep your most recent 1 or 2 on the phone. that'll give you enough space to move forward

Google restoring apps is an option you set during the one time initial setup.
you shouldn't be restoring system data, and it sounds like you're doing that. there are apps to restore texts easily. one that I use is sms backup and restore, which works well and takes maybe a minute.
it's cumbersome to remember every setting so I'd suggest writing them down or something similar.
