Has anyone found a quick way to fix the "appname unsuccessful" installer failure on the Xoom? I cannot install or update any apps as of this morning.
A Google of the problem does not come up with anything Xoom/Honeycomb specific but says that on other devices the procedure is to delete smdl2tmp1.asec from the .android_secure folder. However I cannot find this folder or file? I have Astro and ES explorer but neither can see the folder (I have show system files on) and nor can windows when it is connected by USB.
My Xoom is un-rooted and I cannot install any apps like root explorer (which may help) due to the fault.
Apparently a hard reset fixes it to but frankly it took so long to set the thing up how I want, I would like to avoid this if at all possible!
Thanks in advance,
Jim
Have you gone to settings/apps/manage apps/all tab/market/force stop/wipe data
Thanks for the reply.
Sorry, I should have mentioned but I have tried that - not working.
I am currently in process of backing up all 30 ish Gb to laptop to do factory reset if I cannot find an answer by this evening :-(

I'm having a serious issue with PowerAmp app. My settings are getting reset to default every time the program is completely closed (either by a task manager or after a reboot). Not only that, the change log and Thank you popups come up every startup after the complete shutdown. Pls help resolve.
On contacting the Dev, he says its a UID mismatch issue and it can be solved by uninstalling and reinstalling the program. However that has not fixed the issue.

Strange, I'm using the PowerAmp app and I don't experience this. Have you tried contacting the Dev again about this?
Have you tried downloading it again and then installing it?
One possibility is that when you re-install it you are restoring corrupt settings back onto your device.
Have you tried a hard reset/factory reset then installing it again to see if it works?
It's working now. I used root explorer and navigated to the dbdata folder. Then I deleted the folder corresponding to Poweramp. Since then settings are not getting reset every time I end the app using a task manager.
None of the above works for me:
- uninstalled PowerAMP
- uninstalled PowerAMP Full Version Unlocker
- Deleted sdcard/Android/data/com.maxmpz.audioplayer directory with Super Manager
- reset the phone
- installed PowerAMP
- installed PowerAMP Full Version Unlocker
Same problem! Any ideas?

You will need a file explorer like root explorer since you are rooted. You got the wrong folder. You have to first uninstall full version. Then go to dbdata folder which is above the sdcard folder. Go to the power amp folder and delete the shared peers file. After that reinstall power amp it should be fine..
@mithunjo - you are so right! Super Manager was not it, Root Explorer did it. Thanks!

im having the same problem with power amp. however i couldnt find the folder "dbdata".i evn tried to use the search feature in root explorer to locate the folder but no use!. any suggestions?
im using sony ericsson official 2.1 firmware 0.24 and am rooted
same problem here... will try... thanks!
The dbdata folder is above the internal sdcard folder. In that delete the preferences file in the power amp folder which goes something like maxmp.player..
If you don't want to spend money for the 'Root Explorer', like me, get the 'Terminal Emulator'. It's free, and will give you a terminal interface. Open the app, press the menu button and choose the option to show the keyboard. The following commands will 1) give root permissions to the app and 2) delete the settings folder of PowerAMP:
su
rm -r /dbdata/databases/com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Thats it. The folder is gone. In my case I had to deinstall poweramp before this procedure, and reinstalled afterwards. Finally I can use PowerAmp again.
I've also had that problem (Galaxy S with Darky 8.0 (JPY) ) and deleting dbdata\databases\com.maxmpz.audioplayer helped me. I didn't even have had to uninstall and install PowerAMP.

Tried deleting only the folder with RootExplorer without uninstalling and then reinstalling PowerAMP.
I'll see if this is enough.
I have a rooted htc Inspire running CyanogenMod nightlies.
I have used RootExplorer to look for dbdata and have not been able to find it. I've been through every file with RExplorer and have also used it to search for the file. Both ways I have come up empty. Am I missing something?
And I did read the enitire thread first
Thanks for any help.

Hey everyone,
My friend gave me his tab p1000... but I cannot seem to remove apps or even google user account even after i have:
- Reset the phone
- Flashed stock rom v5 ROM with ODIN (with repartition and also flashed dbdata).
- I also tried NAND Erase All, which soft bricked the tab but i was able to get it back.
Even with all this, all the apps are still there.. when the tab loads up.
The Apps keep crashing every minute though.. so they are not stable.
--- Things Note:
1.
After flashing stock rom, when it enters recovery i get the following errors:
part(1): Checksum error
MMC verification failed
and
cannot find: /preload/app folder
2.
There are some weird files under the internal memory root folder that cannot be deleted.
Well you can delete them but they come right back up when you remount the internal drive(16gb).
Also the application folders cannot be deleted.. they reappear once you remount the internal drive.
the files are:
- Copy of Shortcut to (1/2/3/4).lnk
- glweax.exe
- glweax.scr
- x.exe
- xxx.dll
- zjroic.exe
- zjroic.scr
-xjdqob.exe
3.
There is an app called - Perfect Applock - that might have something to do with this.. Not sure.
I have read in forums, to put the phone in flight mode and restart it, then try to go to app manager within 30sec to uninstall the app.
i tried that but it still doesnt work. the App still exists..
btw, i have also tried removing the apps via app manager, that doesnt work. although it says sucessfully uninstalled.
when you reboot the tab, all the apps are present.
4.
I installed root app using superoneclick so that i can install a root explorer app - but it kept crashing.
---
My guess, is that there is a virus, or something that is recreating the apps. or not granting access to where the apps are stored (guessing in /preload/app).
i have read forums and some people said it might be a faulty internal storage.. i did the checks(some commands using adb) to verify but it was negative.
so i dont think the internal storage is bad.
Right now i am stuck... the tab has stock rom v5 installed right now.. not rooted and with 3e recovery.
any help will be greatly appreciated.. thank you in advance.
you are in wrong device section.... go to this Samsung Galaxy Tab section for better help

btw, those file that you mention is a virus... so check your pc.. it might already infected your pc with it...
Hi all,
I am new here and here goes my first post/querstion at XDA.
I was using some apk when my Device suddenly crashed. I restarted, everything looked fine. The problem started when I tried to open other apk which needs data file from Android Data folder for second operation. The apk was not able to access the files from data folder. I checked my file explorer and found the permissions(displayed at the end of the folder) have changed to -drw(for sure) from -rw(most probably). With this I am not able to delete/move any file from the device storage because the permissions of all other folders have changed to as abaove. If I try to move file, it makes a new copy on my extStorage but the original file is there as it is. The files can't be deleted either. Since my tab is rooted, I installed Root explorer to change file permissions. The permissions under Owner are all unchecked and Group/Others are checked. When I check the Read/Write/Execute permissions for owner, it says cannot be modified(its default disability message). Fed up of all this I went for Factory reset as a final option. I tried to backup using Ti but after some 10% it said not enough space. So I manually backed up whatever I could and went ahead with reset. I successfully did the factory reset and my tablet looked as fresh as when I bought it the first time. All factory apps only but when I was about to be happy, I opened the device storage just to find all those files and data still there, staring at me with their -drw stamp.
My device is Iberry(China I guess) and works on ICS. It is rooted. I had Su Superuser and busy box installed prior to the factory reset but after Factory Reset all apps are gone except their data in the device storage. Please help!
-----SOLVED NOTE----
I did a reflash of the stock rom one more time with ODIN and it seems to have solved the problem. However I still have absolutely no idea about what was wrong with the phone, or why the first successful flash did not take care of the problem.
And a piece of advice, do not edit platform.xml. I swear I edited it correctly and then reverted to the correct settings, did using 3 spaces instead of a tab caused an error??? This will remain a mystery for me...
---------------------------
Hello All,
So I have the Verizon S3 i535, I edited the platform.xml file to give write permissions to external sd card and all hell broke loose after I reverted those changes. All of a sudden every app is getting that "unfortunately stopped" message. I cannot send any file to neither the internal nor the external sd card from my pc, file browsers cannot read any file on any of these cards, I tried pushing with adb but that does not work either. I tried factory reseting, and hard reseting to no avail.
I tried reflashing the stock rom with ODIN but after the flashing process nothing changes? (Does that have to do with me being on NE1).
I do not understand what is going on with the phone right now, flashing should have restored everything, I still get com.google.process.gapps stopped working then all sorts of apps stopping in the same manner, I still can't copy any file to any sort of storage on the phone.
Any idea what has happened and how I could fix it?
Thanks in advance.
That type of editing is not something I have done on Android.
Is there any chance it is a permissions issue and could be fixed with root permissions to a file manager or with adb?

I would be willing to try that however I cannot connect to play store, neither the internet app connects to the internet so I cannot install apk's. I cannot "push" apks to the storage too I tried it via pc and via adb. So I cannot even install a root file manager.
Kingo root however accesses the system (through the pc) and manages to install itself. I have no idea how it can do it.

Glad to see you solved the problem.
I was speaking of using an adb shell to change the permissions of platform.xml to 0644 (-rw-r--r--) if they were set to something else. (I just checked my /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to verify that was the settings on my device. I wasn't any more specific before because I hadn't checked the file locations nor its permissions.)
Hi community,
since one of the latest firmware updates I keep loosing write access to the SD card (Sandisk), e.g. the native camera app or Podcast Republic. Read access is working all the time. A phone restart will fix restore write access for a day or two, until write access is lost again.
Phone is not rooted, stock firmware v7.0. Wiping the cash did not help. Any additional ideas? SD card seems to work just fine.
Thanks, Eppentorf
Have you pinned down whether it seems mostly a 'time' (cache corruption) issue and or a specific app/apps use issue messing up the permissions on your setup/cache(?)? Are you using any file/system explorers that need 'access', and have you tried uninstalling them, one by one, over time, eg ES File Explorer, ect.?
Have you checked the permissions, once your setup goes haywire, and make sure the permissions are still set and working correctly?
What else can you tell us?
Hello and thanks for the reply. I currently looks like the issue was resolved by the firmware update published the day after my post. I will do some more testing and come back if I observe the problem again.
(I have not tried to uninstall the file managers, very good point, thank you!)
