Hi guys, is it me, or Twitter and Foursquare are missing in the market?
I'm on the MIUI ROM and when i flash a new ROM the apps can be found any ideas?
EViO too
My experience is a bit different but probably related. I also can't see certain apps in the market, including Twitter and Foursquare.
I had a bunch of weird issues while running a recent build of Calkulin's EViO ROM and using the built-in Spare Parts settings "Old App2SD" and "Dalvik-Cache on SDCard" together. Everything was fine for a while but I replaced a few system apps with market versions. I started seeing errors while moving apps to the card and the market stopped being reliable. Updates wouldn't install with "package invalid."
I managed to fix some apps by deleting all traces of them in /data using Root Explorer. I did find a way to identify what I've the come to see as "ghost apps" and that's "aTrackDog." It alone, of a half dozen of app managers, shows these apps (grayed out.) All menu commands result in "app not found" or "app not installed" errors.
Update: It keeps creating several files in /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/. I'm going to see if they hold any clues. The log errors haven't helped much, except to make me wonder if there are other problems I'm not noticing. Log activity is a bit high.
I'm back...
I ended up resetting to a stable nandroid backup to fix the market insanity, but I think I can still offer some advice.
When I started getting similar problems again, I suspected using USB to access the SD card while running the Spare Parts "Old App2SD" function. I don't really understand why there's is data in the ".android_secure" folder when mounted in Win7, but there isn't through Root Explorer. I don't understand why Windows follows that symlink and Android doesn't.
I installed Darktremor's A2SD script from RA recovery and that seems to have made things MUCH more stable. That might fix other ROMs' dodgy app2SD settings. It doesn't change the symlink behavior though, I guess that's fine. Just don't touch the files in that folder.

I flashed Fresh 1.1 and MCK 1.2. Now I can't back up my apps using Titanium.. they just don't show up. I have tried reinstalling it, still nothing. Any ideas were they are? I have Root explorer and I can't find them with that either. Thanks every body for putting up with the newbs.

How familiar are you with using ADB?
You can follow this thread to figure out how to see what APKs are listed under /system/app
See if you can find the APKs in these places with shell. I think most apps are installed to /data some where. I always have to ls to remember folder names lol.
Also do the programs Run? Are you using A2SD?
I have not installed APPS2SD. All the apps are in /data and they run. Even new apps I have installed don't show up. I also don't have any ext. on my sd card. This wasn't a problem intill I flashed fresh.
I also used that thread last month remove stock apps and all the ones I removed just force closed. I removed apk and odex.
Same issue here, but with just certain apps such as Teeter and HTC Ringtone Trimmer. I can install multiple times, but it won't work.
Also, if I go to settings and then manage apps, I see apps listed that were removed in Fresh 1.1 such as IM, Sprint IM, Amazon MP3, etc..
Net result, I am having issues with getting some apps to show up, cannot remove app links that are not on the phone and cannot get my phone to make any calls. When I call it I get an error message about google.com.phone not working. I tried unstilling some apps (only have about 49 installed by myself), kill tasks one by one and yet the phone will still not make or recieve calls.
Something strange going on here.

This has to be an issue with Titanium, I can't see the ROM causing any type of issue like this. All that program should be doing is reading the app directory and listing whats available. I would track down the Dev and see if they are able to resolve.
I've backed up a few times with My Backup Pro and flashed ROMs, restoring data via the same program. It seems, looking at it now, that I have somehow managed to duplicate my contacts multiple times. I now have a huge number of contacts, many of them identical and I keep getting link suggestions for all of them.
Any ideas how I can clean this mess up? I've searched and found a few related threads in other forums, but none of them were quite this problem and none of them seemed to have any solutions.
It seems I'm also having a similar problem with apps. It looks like my apps that were moved to the SD card originally are still there, but not being seen by the system. My Backup Pro restored all my apps to the phone, and those are the ones it's using. If I move all those apps to the SD card, now I think I'll have two versions of those apps.
Is there any way to run something that can check my phone for these kinds of duplicates and consolidate things a little? I'm getting worried that I'll end up filling my phone up with useless repeats of things until it's just a pile of bloated crap...
I had a similar problem with my google contacts duplicating themselves for some reason. If duplicates are google you can go to google.com/contacts to edit them. There is a "Find Duplicates" button on the right.
I actually just found this as well. I tried it and resynced my google account on the phone and it doesn't seem to have removed them. Is there something I have to do to force the phone to get rid of the duplicates as well?
Not the right place for it, but figured since I have a thread going already I might as well ask here. I'm trying to Fix Permissions in ROM Manager, as I figure those might be pretty messed up after everything as well. But, even though ROM Manager has Root Access, it tells me an error occurred while "trying to run privileged commands." I have the paid version, I'm not sure why this is happening. Thoughts?
EDIT: Didn't want to keep bumping this thing, but I found the app Contact Remover to be a big lifesaver in a few ways. Specifically, I had 75 blank contacts that were just sitting there for some reason. This app allowed me to select multiples and delete them easily, in a way the People app wouldn't! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.octabode.dcfd

This is actually something I've been wondering about myself.
Most of my apps are on my SD, and I'm preparing to flash a new Rom, for the first time ever (aside from the rooting process, that is).
Seems I recall something similar occurring post-root, with apps I had on prior.
I'm thinking I should move them back on to the phone, do a new backup, then flash the new Rom, restore, and then move them back to the SD.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone originally on three but now debranded, unlocked and rooted.
Once I had sorted out problems with payments to the Android Market all apps, bar one, have installed successfully.
The one recalcitrant app, the Alan Rogers campsite App, fails to install with the error message insufficient space on the phone. Now I am sure that there is sufficient space.
To double check I did a Factory Reset and tried to load this app first thing - same result.
I has been suggested that I look in the data folder in the root directory, find com.create.arg and then delete it.
I looked in root/data but could not find it.
I looked in root/data/data and found many folders with similar names but not that particular one.
Can anyone offer me advice on how to install this app?
Note. The app installs happily on other android phones but does appear to have some difficulties with the Galaxy S
you have no space left on /data, if you're using CM7 /datadata.
Move some apps to the SD card to make room, preferably large ones
Hello.
My gfs phone (galaxy s2, rooted with siyah, stock rom) crashed today, and after a forced reboot lots of apps disappeared(this is a common problem it seems, although i haven't found a one-answer-for all fix yet). The apps in question(omg i can't candy crush!!or breed dragons) still have icons, but dummy one's with "sd" on them, so i'm assuming android somehow lost a sd card. Thing is, i can find the apps in /data/data, or at least i think so cause they're named as the missing apps in app manager and they're not empty, so they're not lost per se, just android forgot where to look for them or something.
Question: Is there a way to see where an icon points to, ie where it expects to find the data, cache and so forth? Maybe i can then change these pointers, or create a symlink to from the "real" /data to the one android expected..
Thanks
I have found that across two different Roms, both on different phones i have came across this odd bug.
Current build is the Sprint Galaxy S 5 running the latest version of Rwilco.
Honestly though that's irrelevant.
The bug is this. Each time the phone is restarted i get the "Android is Optimizing" and it goes through a slew of apps. Afterwards i Miraculously have a slew of apps that needs updating. After about 5-6 restarts i then run into an issue of storage space.
When you do a scan of what the hell is taking up so much space you will come up empty handed.
However if you download a root file explorer like Es FileExplorer enable hidden files and System files and then navigate to:
ROOT/Data/Apps
You will see many versions of your apps that you have downloaded have duplicated with a _1 _2 _3 placeholder denoting each time the app has been optimized or updated. Lately ive been going through, deleting the oldest versions of the app, restarting and then running updates from the play store and it has resolved the problem only temporarily. I have no idea what is causing this or why.
Does anyone have a clue
