cannot install using Fast Web Installer

I am absolutely stumped!
I restored my apps from Titanium, inc. AppBrain. This also restored my AppBrain data which was a bummer as Appbrain recognised it as the same phone, regardless of having upgraded to 2.1 forcing a clean install.
I then installed Fast Web Installer and it worked great, but I noticed it was still recognising as having had installed apps that I hadn't installed, and it thought my phone was 1.6 so kept getting annoying message on website. I uninstalled and reinstalled App Brain and it worked fine, but suddenly Fast Web Installer doesnt work. I get:
"There was an error sending the app to the phone. Please make sure you enabled it with the 'fast web installer' app and then please try again."
I have done everything I can think of, uninstalled both then reinstalled them, launched the FWI app multiple times, synced appbrain multiple times, all the above in multiple sequences, until I decided to delete my account, uninstall app brain, uninstall FWI, recreate my account, reinstall app brain, sync appbrain, install FWI, launched FWI, Synced App Brain, then crossed my fingers, but still got the same problem.
It's painfully annoying as its such an awesome thing
Has anyone else come across this error, and does anyone know a sollution? Im at pulling my hair out here

I have the same problem , its was working before but cant work these days

well, in the process of trying to fix this I accidently got my phone into a power cycle cycle, so gave it a clean install. It works now :S
but the facebook widget is now giving me grief. *When will it all enndddd??*

It's a bug from fast web installer. I emailed appbrain and now it's work. Should work for you too I guess.

Got the same email here.

Ah yes, I see that the market is now version 2.12 instead of the 2.09 in which firmware 2.1 gave us. That is quite unfortunate as that was a really useful tool

Adfree

So on my dad's droid 1, rooted, he had Adfree installed and working just fine. He was using an application the was ad supported then set his phone down and 2 mins later picked it up opened the same applies and there were ads on his screen. He didn't disable anything in that time. Adfree says there's a hosts update but will not longer download or block ads. Prior to this he had installed autokiller memory optimizer. We thought it was that, so we uninstalled it and adfree is still not working. Cleared cache and data for adfree, tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still no go. I'm at a loss. Any help is appreciated.

Adfree works by blocking known advertisement addresses via the HOSTS file. If an app is simply pulling advertisements from somewhere not specifically listed to be blocked in the HOSTS file, the advertisements will be shown as usual. It is somewhat of a cat and mouse game to constantly keep up to date on where advertisements are coming from, to then block them. Nothing is awry with the phone, it is completely normal.
As for Adfree not downloading the latest HOSTS file update (I believe that's what you said), could be numerous things. Check and make sure it is still being allowed Superuser permission.

I'm jkbhs03's dad and it's my phone that's having the problem. Maybe I can explain a little clearer than my son did. Anyway, I've had Adfree working on my Droid 1 for months. This afternoon I downloaded Autokiller Memory Optimizer on my phone to see if it would speed it up a little. That's when I noticed my ads returned. I opened Adfree and it said an update was available for new hostnames. After selecting "download & install hosts", Adfree stays stuck on "connecting...". I assumed Autokiller Memory Optimizer had something to do with it, so I uninstalled it from my phone. I still had the same problem with Adfree. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adfree, but I still have the same problem. Superuser has granted Adfree permission and I can't figure out what went wrong or how to fix it. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try Uninstalling Ad Free, then re-installing it?
I had this same problem, but a little toggle on Adfree made it work for me.
On mine this is what it looks like..
After you open your app, I should check the 2nd option (Use 127.0.0.1) and at the end the symlink from data/data/hosts check that as well.
thats whats been working for me, if it doesn't work i'll try to help you out more.

Tried both of those and still no luck.

Yeah adfree isn't working for me either... hopefully they'll fix it tomorrow.

Confirmed...app is broken. Update/install hosts file no longer works on new or existing installs.

Roger that. No go. Just when I flashed a clean rom. Lol

You guys are right, right after posting this I got a notification setting new hosts and now I can't update them its a problem from the app dev just wait a day or two and they'll fix it

Seems to be fixed just now.
It was looping like 10 minutes yesterday, now it takes 3 minutes on that screen and it shows "Update Successful".

Tried it again this morning, and Adfree updated in about a minute or so. Ads are gone again. Thanks for all the help everyone!

Same, back working again as well.
Should add that the 'Droid Overclock' app provides a minimal ad-blocking ability as well which can work in a pinch while waiting on Adfree to update. It isn't nearly as flexible and the app does have a minimal cost, but thought I would mention it.
Thanks all!

Same Thing Happened To Me, Never Found The Source Of The Problem, But A Definite Fix Is To Do A Nandroid Backup!! But As A Alternative You Can "TRY" To Install **CACHE-MATE** And Run The App, That Method "WORKED" For Me!! Good-Luck!!

[Q] Websites forcing app install directly from Play store

Hi everyone,
I had a headache yesterday with an app called Zombie tsunami, from time to time it started downloading directly from the Play store without even asking me, I had to clear Chrome data to get rid of it, maybe some javascript, that started this process automatically, clearing cache wasn't enough... I don't remember the website I browsed, but it really suck, I have a Nexus 4 on 4.4.2 Stock.
Did anyone else had a problem like that?
Is there a way to prevent this?

Uninstall the application! Or change "permissions" or use a "firewall" to block internet access.

I did it

I did that, but after I uninstalled, once in a while it started downloading and the notification icon appear, I noticed some sites were showing a confirm dialog to download mobogenie, and this zombie tsunami is also from a mobogenie company.

Apps won't open

I just noticed that at least a handfull of my apps won't open at all today and I don't even get a crash report or anything. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting the phone, and clearing cache and none of that seems to work. I haven't done anything other than install an app or two over the past few days (and I uninstalled the apps that I have recently downloaded to see if those were the issue).
Any other ideas?

Google updated something like Android Web View. Uninstall or freeze it.

You are awesome! Thanks, it would have taken me forever to figure that out. That was it.

Wife was giving me hell that some of her apps wasn't working. I asked her if anything updated and she said no. Told her I would check here and see if I could find something on it. Then told her what to uninstall and she then remembered that updated on her. Women lol. Any how knew I could find the solution on XDA.

Package Disabler Pro and the newest Google Play Services

So the two hate each other. I mean HATE. I can't use Package Disabler Pro to disable even a few bloat apps. Facebook, Instagram, Skype. If I use it for anything I get errors all over. Everything Google starts to crash. gapps, google play services, everything. I finally had to enable everything, reboot and my phone stopped crashing and randomly rebooting. Very sad to see PDP become useless. My battery life improved with all the bloat disabled.

are you root?
reset your phone and do it again, I dont have a problem with it. I'm on 8.1.14

You disabled something that is deep in the system. Since ur testing u have to try 1 at a time over a few hours to see what is up.
I.D.F.W.Y.

No, I'm not rooted. Everything was going smooth until I got the new update to Google Play Services. I found that if you turned off the location services for your phone it would clear up but that only lasted maybe an hour before stuff started up again.

I spent several hours yesterday tinkering. Disabling minimal stuff like the social media apps, the ANT service, Milk player and other minor stuff. Every time it would start to crash and give me issues. I disabled the social media items the old fashion way and am not using PDP right now. I'll play with it more today. I really don't want/need many of that crap running as I have zero use for any of it. I will do the one by one and see what happens.

i think if u go in with root exploer if u was rooted u find facebook in 2-3 spots. whatsapp gave me issues. i gave up on debloating. i have seen a few debloated roms that the dev went in and manually removed and made things work. freeze apps is no longer as simple as it once was .

I'm using " Disable Application " from the play store... I'm rooted, and it works great. I prefer PDP, but it doesn't work on my rooted rom.

If I root, its when its been confirmed that Samsung Pay will work with one of those new root cloaking apps (one is an xposed module) works for it. If it does, I'll be back on root in no time.
My issue may be my phone. I couldn't get it to respond for anything, error messages that wouldn't go away long enough to type a letter. I factory reset and the error codes kept coming. Its going to be replaced.
