Installation broken can't reinstall (kingdom rush) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I'm running latest chopsticks CM10.2 nightly
For no reason at all, my Kingdom Rush icon on my homescreen renamed itself from "Kingdom Rush" to "com.ironhidestudios.something" after a reboot (maybe dead battery, don't remember). When I try to open it it says "App isn't installed" and doesn't run anything. When checking the installed apps list, it doesn't show up. Titanium backup shows something installed as com.ironhidestudios.kingdomrush but I can't do anything with it (uninstall/backup/etc), all options greyed out.
First thing I did was try to backup my most recent saves as I have been playing it a lot and my latest backup would have lost days and days of play. I think I did this, as I found the ironhide folder in /data and backup it up to my sd card.
Attempts to install over the previous (broken) install have failed with the installation taking a while then stopping with the "App not installed" error.
I have made sure to have plenty of space available, tried zip resigning, tried all the usual "app not installed" troubleshooting, nothing works. Everything is fine on the phone but I can't get my game to install or run anymore. Do I really have to do a wipe/restore a couple month old backup just to get a game to reinstall?

[Q] Whole phone's gone crazy.. Apps seemingly disappeared

Hi,
I was just trying out a few ROMs, and after flashing CyanogenMod (The stable release, can't remember the exact name) and then doing a full wipe and restoring my LeeDroid Nandroid backup, I ran into a bit of a kerfuffle...
After booting up, I was greeted with blank homescreens - which was a bit annoying, but nothing too bad - and so went to get started on repopulating them.. only to find hardly any apps were present. I put this down to some of them not having synced yet, until I noticed that even system apps were missing; Market, Music etc - not a single downloaded/sideloaded app is present. They appear under the "Manage Applications" section of the Settings menu but only Data and Cache are present, not the Application themselves.
I reflashed the Nandroid backup again (and again), and was met with the same, only Astro File Manager had miraculously appeared so I could at least install some apps from my SD Card using that. So after installing the Market and Root Explorer from there, I could see that the System Apps were infact there, but required manual installation. I can't even re-download all of the lost Apps, as even attempting to select one in the Market leads to a force close.
I can effectively do nothing, except use the tiny array of Apps that are actually there, which at least does include Messaging and Phone. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this, or a partial-solution at least?
Thanks
Ok, just as I finished typing this the Factory Reset finished and everything loaded. It seems everything is working now, but still, I'm just left with System Apps and with no sign of my other apps syncing/downloading.
After the wipe factory reset did you do nandroid install again straight after?
Sent from my leedroid v1.3a DhD via xda app
Yeah, and the same happened again. I tried various nandroids from all sorts of ROMs, and I would just get the same, even restoring the Stock ROM.
That said, the thread may as well be closed, I just went and did everything manually and everything's fine now. It took many hours, but it's in a usable state now.
i expect u will face the same problem soon as long as ur apps list will grow and be installed on ur device, this is a big issue i faced and still experimenting to get the best solution for, but currently the most effective cure is to mount ur sd card to a card reader, and go to the folder android_secure, cut some bunch of files ther(maybe half of them) and past to ur desktop, mount back the sd to ur device, ur phone will bahave normally now, this will work great after ur nandroid backup, when u see it work, try again the previous step and start to add files to android_secure folder from ur desktop, untill the bad behaviors start to occur.
hope this will help

Can Install Titanium Backup

Hi there just trying to update titanium back up to the latest version and every single time i download it it says theres not enough room on my memory well thats wrong as there 1.5gb of storage on my phone
I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall the app off the market and still had the same problem
I now have downloaded the latest apk and now it still wont install due to "insufficient memory"
Please can anyone help me here?
Fixed, dont worry had to go data/app and delete the titainium backup data file now its downloaded
ive been trying to work that out for days now... :L

[Q] Insufficient storage error

I have looked at all the other related threads but they are not helping me.
Situation;
I installed a custom rom...had issues so i used Rom Manger and used recovery. Used Titanium backup to reinstall aps.
After a while (day later)Rom Manger became unresponsive so I uninstalled it. When I went to re-install the error came up of insufficient storage.
Phone was back to a happy rooted state so I figured I would also uninstall Titanium Backup. Same error when I tried to install it.
However after that I tried other apps and all other apps from the market will install including Rom Toolbox.
I have rebooted. Removed all trace's(so I think) of Rom Manager and Titanium Backup, rebooted and tried again but same error.
Ive deleted market apps and reinstalled them with no issues.
Im sure Ive missing somthing simple but im weary to start messing to much without some advice.
Hope you guys can point me in a good direction.
Can you screen shot the error?
I would recommend the following:
1) go into settings, apps, and clear market data/cache
reboot and try again. If that doesn't work
2) Fix permissions and try again.
Solution found
Found the solution and all is installed and working.
1. Manual find and clear dalvik-cache
2. Find and delete .odex file of the app you are trying to re-install. Only seemed to be an issue with [root]apps.

[Q] (Status 7 + sd-ext won't mount) Failed to install MIUI, Status 7 on other ROMS

I've been very frustrated lately, and I don't want to go and do something like unroot and clear my
phone without "professional" input. So thanks for your attention.
I have been running albinoman's Jellybean RC3 since it's release. It's been working well for me
but I wanted to try the new MIUI 2.11.9 for my Incredible.
I downloaded and tried installing it through ROM Manager; I wiped the data, cache, and dalvik cache.
It got to the part where it was installing MIUI, then:
Code:
Creating symlinks
symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /somedirectory/blahblah/somezipfile.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
So I cursed it and restored my JB backup.
Then it said something like this in the final part of the restore:
Code:
Restoring sd-ext...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext
sd-ext won't mount and isn't visible in cmrecovery. But oddly enough, all of my files can be found in Astro, under sdcard1.
When I booted up, I got the immediate messages that apps like Talk, Email,
and Exchange Services had stopped working. So I disabled them to stop the messages. Facebook wouldn't start, and
ANY app that deals with media fails to load, i.e. Instagram, Camera, Music, Gallery, etc.
(EDIT: Recently I got Google Play to download apps after Fixing Permissions in cmrecovery)
I tried the re-downloading and re-installation of MIUI, and even a fresh RC3, all in CMrecovery, w/ and w/out wipes.
I would've let the failed install go, but it's too frustrating not being able to access my media.
Please Help

Status 7 refers to an error in the rom zip file. Try redownloading it and flashing it again. If it still errors, go to the roms thread and see if others are having the same issue. I no one else has the issue, try flashing TWRP recovery and then flashing the rom with it. Seems some newer roms work better with twrp than with cwm.
The sd-ext thing is normal. You will only have an sd-ext if you specificaly partitioned your sdcard to have one. If you dont have one, cwm will still check and report its backup status, ie "backing up/restoring sd-ext, no sd-ext found, skipping backup/restore of sd-ext".
So are you saying you cant flash any rom or restore a backup without having fc's and app issues?

Thanks cmlusco, for posting.
I just downloaded a fresh .zip of miui for inc off their site, then transferred and installed it all while in TWRP recovery. I got the same Status 7
error, and had to restore my my newest JB backup.
Yes. I can't install new roms, even a fresh jellybean rc3. When I restore, it works, but I still have app issues, and I frequently recieve this error:
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped"

It must be an error in the rom file then, probably in the updater script. If you shoot me a link i will download it and see if i can get it to work.
Try formating everything in the mounts and storage menu except emmc and sdcard, and then do your restore. Sometimes wiping just data and cache arent enough.
I tried flashing it, and also got status 7. Gonna take a look and see if i can fix it.

Yeah. Formatted everything in the wipe menu of TWRP except sd and emmc. Tried and failed to install the ROM with the same error.
Restored. Then re-installed cmrecovery to check by formatting in it's mounts and storage menu, but I got the same result.
Let me know how your install goes. I have a bad feeling it isn't the rom file.

Thanks for spending time to assist me regardless. I'll figure something out. Though I'm open to anyone else that might some insight or
information regarding this issue.
It's beyond frustrating to me.
Well, fixed all my problems. I just installed Tiny's cm 10. Everything seems golden. Camera's working, gallery's available.:good:
Thanks for narrowing the problem down to the ROM, I know you put some time into that.
Resolved,

[Q] Trouble getting past Setup Wizard

Wondering if anyone can help me. I downloaded a rom, gapps, and a kernel from an AOKP nightly thread. The current ROM loaded says "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" as well as "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". I did the usual, backup in titanium, then backup in clockwordmod, wipe data, wipe cache, flashed the ROM, gapps and kernel. After the boot screen, it displays the two messages listed above.
Normally, I'd be able to restore one of my backups, but those disappeared after I wiped/reflashed a second time (all the other files/.zips that were on the phone are gone too). So I can't restore any backups, reflash any ROMs, or get past the two message screens to download anything else. On top of that, when I connect my phone to my laptop to dump some files on it that way, I get "USB device not recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
I've done this process about 15 times, so I'm not sure why I didn't do it correctly, the only thing different is I flashed a nightly instead of a milestone, and a different kernel. This is the first time I haven't been able to restore anything. If anyone could point out what I did wrong, or more importantly how I can go about at least having something so I can restore my Titanium Backup, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks

its probably the gapps that you flashed. did you wipe your sd card too? if not, all your files will be in/data/media/0

I'm beginning to think I did, I don't even have a media folder anymore. Just 0/, /legacy, and /obb. The 0/ folders has some subfolders like alarms, download, music, movies, etc., but they're all empty. If I did wipe my SD card, how can I flash something new if I can't do it via the phone? My PC isn't recognizing my phone as a USB device either. Thanks for the help
