Help please. Got problems installing. - General Questions and Answers

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.

If you Have made any backup, try to restore that. I think that should solve the problem. Otherwise may be the system files may have become corrupted. Its a good idea to have hard reset infrequently, to have clean installs.
backup of what? device recovery you mean? would it be appropriate for the current scenario if i do a Master Clear and restore to factory defaults? plus, does it clean/ repair system files that may have been corrupted?
Thanks,

Backup of system and pim files. It is usually done by e,g spb backup or others. Yes if you do hard reset, it will bring the system to original factory level. Of coarse you will loose all data in ROM. So please backup your data to PC or memory card before hard reset.

[Q] Cant install apk, installation fails

Hi, I installed an application on my XT720, but I think the installation hanged so I took out the battery to reset the phone. Now it wont install.
I've encountered this problem before by deleting the temp files using root explorer, but I can't seem to find the temp files on this one. Does anyone know where I can find temp files from installations?
thx
if it's rooted already, just use any of the clear cache apps in market, to clean the temps out
also the Dalvik cache
that almost no one reported problem and almost nobody knows how to fix it, I can say that there are caches market or anything like that, the problem is that there are duplicates in a folder on the SD card, and you have to delete the folder is hidden and not visible on the phone and can not erase, deves do it on the pc, and appears as olcuto file in linux and mac, but you can delete it just by putting "view hidden files" Fortunately, it is easy to fix

I have encountered the same problem, but after i cleaned the caches by Cache Cleaner, the problem didn't solve.
When I tried to install the apk file, the device returns the message 'application not installed'.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I doubt this is your problem, but maybe check the permissions and ownership of your /cache directory. I borked mine once while experimenting and the market was very silently unhappy.
ls -l should give:
drwxrwx--x system cache 2011-03-28 23:13 cache
If it's not owned by the cache group or if the group doesn't have write permission, downloads just go poof. That doesn't sound like your problem, though.
I've had some situations (going all the way back to 2.1) where Market apps wouldn't install the first couple of times I ask, but if I'm persistent and repeatedly keep installing, eventually it will start installing.
Another trick I've found is if the download completes and then the install never starts, try leaving the Market page for the app and come back. Sometimes that kicks the install into gear.

My problem seldom associate with the market apps, but rather the apk files that i backed up before. when i pressed install, the installation bar would load for a while, about 1 second, and then it said application not installed.
This happens when I first try to install angry birds few days ago, the application hanged up with no response, just showing the installation bar. After that i removed the battery and try to install, the apk can't be installed and the above situation happened.
I can still install some of the other apk files, but some cannot. I tried to wipe all the caches as well as factory reset by the openrecovery, but the apk still cannot be installed.
Anyone got the same problem?

Are you on froyo? IIRC Angry Birds tries to install to the SD card using native froyo App 2 SD. Perhaps that's what's not working on your phone. Since not all apps do that it could seem random. See if you can Move to SD any downloaded apps (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Downloaded > pick one > Move to SD). If you can't there's probably something wrong with your FAT partition on the SD card (e.g. it may need to be reformatted).

So what will be the possible reasons for my problem?

[Q] Rooted , Deleted Market , Want to Install again...

Hello everybody. So, i rooted my X10 Mini (Android 2.1) and i deleted Market. I am trying to install it back BUT it cannot be installed. I get a message that the package could not be analyzed properly. I guess it is because the version of the market i am trying to install is not compatible but i cannot find a compatible version. I've searched the world. Any ideas?
Well i am not so sure if this will help you but you could try a factory reset, it might install your maket again since it goes factory state...it will wipe your data though.
BTW: i wont be responsible if anything happens during the wipe, you should backup your stuff first.
I did a factory reset
I did a factory reset but it didn't install it again. However some uninstalled apps returned, like SlideMe and 2 games...
try this http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-and-games-pin-number-for-purchases-and-more/
Get it from 4shared.com just search market place. I did it yesterday cause I needed a older version.
Nothing worked till now guys...
I tried every market on 4share and still...nothing.
Any suggestions? Should i reinstall android? Is this possible?

Visit this page and download the archive at the bottom. Extract the "vending.apk" and try to install it.
This should be the one, that came with your phone originally.
If that doesn't work, you might have to reflash Android - at which point it might be a good time to maybe give CyanogenMod a try? ;-)
But try installing that apk first.
If nothing of those tips help you can do it the hard way. Download the gapps zip file for your device and push it onto the sdcard. Boot into the bootloader, enter the recovery partition and update the zip file. After that the google apps should be reinstalled.

Be more specific about at what point the phone is rebooting.
Apps
I Mean Both applications are capable of removing system apps I think why its restarting when I try to install other apps its Ok for me !
Try with Titanium Backup. Works every time. I hope this will fix your reboot issue. If not, reflash your stock rom with odin and try again.

Smart Manager not working on Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime

So I did a factory reset of my SGGP and I deleted bloatwear with Kingroot. Now my Smart Manager app doesn't work. It just says scanning when I try to click on the storage option. I use this often to move apps to my SD card. I deleted the Cheetah thingy, I forgot the correct name, and I think that may caused this issue. I am not sure. If it was that is there anyways I can reinstall it and fix it or will I have to factory reset again? And if that is not the issue can someone tell me why this app is not working?
Thank you so much in advance!
Hi !
You`ve done wrong , removing system apps without knowing what they need for may lead to problems .Factory reset after removal of system apps won`t bring them back. The only solution is to revert to stock , root it again and use a third-party application to FREEZE the undisered apps not to delete them
Good luck !
