I am using Faria's Rom [the real thing], and today when I tried to intall the beta 3 version of battery Status to the ROM it couldn't complete the instalation. Then I went to add/remove programs menu to delete the previous version of the Battery Status, however, the were no programs listed there. The list is empty. I remember having this problem once when I tried the MB Rom. Any suggestions?

That is because the program in built into the ROM and therefore cannot be removed using the remove programs. Go ahead and download the update and install it.
Nope, I know that, but I have a lot of other programs that I installed myself. About 10 of them, and they all seem to be working fine, however I don't see them in add/remove programs.
Are the programs your using installed via activesync, do they show in activesync as installed programs? were they installed on a storage card?

The active sync doesn't connect to the device. All the programs were installed in main memory.
it sounds like you might have to go back and install them through active sync. It might not work, but it would sort of force active sync to recognize your programs, do you know what i mean?

Yes, but when I said add/remove programs menu, I meant the one that is in the phone, not in the active sync. I don't see the one in the phone menu
I think that if you want to update a program that's already in the ROM you will have to run th CAB, then remove it with the add/remove programs option, and then re-install it. otherwise the device may not recognize the updated version.

I had the same problem after upgrading to the BatteryStatusExt.1.04.203.beta4.CAB. I could not activesync, could not delete, move or rename any files with File Explorer, could not install any CAB files and there were no programs in the Add/Remove programs list (even though like you, I had 10 or so installed). I was able to remove the BatteryStatus folder using TotalCommander but unforutenly, this did not help.
I had no choice but to hard reset my device which of course sorted the problem.

I've had the add/remove go blank on me several times...would not allow me to install any cab's...and obviously I could not uninstall anything if it wasn't listed. The sad thing is a hard reset is about the only fix. I started using Sprite Backup so if it happened I could get back to a recent image. It always seemed to occur about the time I went into camera settings and made changes too but I couldn't nail down the culprit..the one time I took an image, then did the camera settings, of course it worked fine. I know you won't like my answer..I sure didn't when it happened to me.
hi, i see many ppl here flashing their roms everytime an update comes out. my question is that are you guys reinstalling all programs and setting up all the settings everytime you flash the rom. or is there way to load all that to a newly flashed rom with sprite backup or sunny back with affecting the new rom settings itself. i recently instlaled nbd 9.1, but also want to try other roms, but hate the fact of reinstalling everything and inputting settings everytime i do this is a drag. anyone else doing this an easier way?.
i also wanna know too.
I install most of my programs on a storage card. So there all there. But I have to move a shortcut the the phone.
Yes i redo all my settings. O well. only takes 5-10 mins.

When you flash, you wipe everything, so yes, you have to set everything up again. NEVER (and I mean NEVER) take a full backup with Sprite, Sunny, Spb backup, or similar and restore from one rom to another rom. You will cause all sorts of problems as you will be changing registry settings and more.
For me, I have a folder on my SD card called Setup Files. In there are cabs and .reg files I've created for everything I use. After I flash, I go to that folder and start running the apps. IF you want to get real adventurous, you can create your own extended rom to run stuff for you. There are also some tools for running cabs for you too, but for me, I have it down to a known pattern (and it can change with each rom depending what comes in the custom rom) so I just do it by hand. From the time I start the process of flashing to a new custom rom, to the point where my phone is back to where it was before, is about 1.5 hours (sometimes closer to an hour). Yeah, its a pain, but for me its worth it to be able to try out some of these roms (and if all I'm going to do is test a rom, I just do a full Sprite backup, flash the rom to test, then flash back to the original rom and then do a restore).

Unfortunately, yes you have to re-install everything and reconfigure all of your settings every time. The only shortcut to this would be to install programs to the storage card and create shortcuts to the programs in the start menu folder but even that takes about a minute per shortcut so you might as well just re-install them.

One danger here. Some programs require registry settings to be present for them to work properly. Just creating a shortcut to point to an old install may not work for all programs (and can cause weird things to happen since registry entries are missing). Some programs see the registry entries aren't there and create default ones. But a lot don't.

Oh yeah that's a good point. I completely forgot about that. Well, that's why I always just re-install everything... lol
Cook everything in the rom and ext rom, you don't lose anything [email protected]!
Hey i just hard reset my device and now when i try and reinstall skype and Sktools it says that install unsuccessful when i try and install....
does anyone know whats wrong???
its a bit weird because i uninstalled both programs before hard reset, and now i dont know what to do
maybe you should specify which ROM and which device you're using.
Did you install apps to your storage card or device? Did the apps unistall properly, that is to say is there still the program folder present? If the app folder is still present, delete it, soft reset and try to install again.
WiFi tether was working a few days ago before I had to run the Sprint RUU. I went to use it today and it keeps force closing when I touch "Start Tethering"
I have re-rooted since I loaded the RUU.
Loaded Amon RA 1.5.1 Recovery Rom
I loaded Fresh 1.0 (I think it maybe a problem here)
Any Ideas from anyone?
@K
I had the same issue with Fresh 1.0. Just google search Wireless Tether, and download v1.70 from the website, and reinstall. Have you had any voicemail issues since fresh 1.0? I no longer have a voicemail app...?
Voice mail works fine for me.
Are you sure it is missing or just doesn't have an Icon???
Nope...It is gone...No .apk, nothing...and the phone no longer prompts when new voicemails come in..as in I checked yesterday and had 16 new voicemails! Haha.
Wow. I will post my APK later and see if it will install back on yours.
Thanks bro
I can't find an APK clearly called voicemail... if anyone knows where/what this thing is called I will pull it. Otherwise I am lost. I've looked all over the phone.
Found it!!
Let me know how this works. Not sure what all Spint_Core has in it...
That is the voice mail app alright...Problem is..I get this,
What program are you using to install it? I was having the same problem and was trying to install it with app manager through astro and it wasnt working. I did it a couple times and then i found tje vm app in the /system/app folder and i tried installing it from there and astro gave me the option of using package installer and it finally installed. I still didnt get vm notifications for a couplu days but then all of a sudden it starded working yesterday
Did you do a full wipe before installing Fresh? I kept having apps missing, force close issues; everytime I changed ROMS. I narrowed in down to apps2sd. If the apps were on my phone went I added the new rom, everything went smooth, the rom would move them after boot. But if they were already there, the rom would boot up, and not seem to find the programs. The only other workaround was using astrofilemanager and doing a apk backup and restore. Now if I switch, I do a full wipe and then restore all my settings/apps. Seems to work seamless that way.
I do not have apps2SD enabled (no ext part.) because I like to help test new roms...and things can get nasty. Yes, I did a full wipe when I did 1.0...No luck..It was like one day with 1.0 it was there, then poof...no dice. I even wiped and reinstalled 1.0 and no dice.

Maybe we can direct Flipz this way, its his rom maybe he knows of something.
I know that there are tons of threads about this but none of them have helped. My market just will not work. It shows it downloading, then displays the message "Download failed" for a split second and disappears.
I have an HTC Desire (BravoC/CDMA) with the latest version of CyanogenMod 7 Nightly and ClockworkMod 2.5.0.9 for recovery. I also have Firerat's Custom MTD Partition. Details and links to all these can be found in my signature.
I feel like I've tried everything. Uninstall updates, Installed latest GApps, Installed old versions of GApps, Installed leaked versions of Gapps, cleared cache, formatted device.
This has been happening since the new market website was released. It really sucks, I can't update any apps or download any new apps.
If anyone can offer any help or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Try removing SD card then try again. I had the same problem with my galaxy s I removed SD card backup on PC then I formatted it put it back in and market works perfect, don't ask me why but this worked for me
Sent from my Ideos using XDA App
a little weird thing i noticed is,if i have checked the box that allows applications to be download to the external(Apps2sd) whatever i try to download, will be resulted with Unsuccessful. When i unchecked it, my downloads were successful.
See if you have it checked.
I discovered that it was a problem with the CSC file. I had exactly the same issue with a 'mixed up' firmware. Download would not work at all from the market. Anyhow, I flashed the phone (galaxy s) with a different CSC file and the market started downloading.
the only thing I had changed was that file.
So u may want to consider that Hope this helps.
I think there is also a possibility of going to applications --> market, and then stop & clear data.
same situation here...
re-flash the rom and market won't download anything.
But it's strange that I can install apps from web market.
i know i'm at the wrong thread but could somebody help me pls with sgs gingerbread im stuck at on command where it is saying that busybox is not a valid command and thats its not recognized
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, after some time I have discovered what was causing the market issue. It was the Firerat Custom MTD Partition Mod the whole time. Apparently the new version of the market deals with downloads a little differently now and doesn't get along with Firerat's mod.
So now the waiting game begins for a new update from Firerat.
Hi,
NOt a solution, but I found a workaround for this issue on my phone.
I am using Hyperdroid GBX V8 on my HTC HD2 now. From last 2 days I was struggling with this problem. I tried all solutions I found with google. Clearning everything and Reflashing, clearing the market and caches for other apps, reflashing, unmount/mount SDCARD and so on, smaller bigger recovery partition, without EXT3/4 partition.
Still the problem exist on the phone. But I found a workaround. Logon to market.android.com using your google id and password, select the app you want to install and click install. if your phone is up and live, it will be installed in a few seconds.
In other words, pull doesnt work, but push works .
Thanks.
