so far I have only found the Car / Home app to work on 2 rom's (stock, and original Infused, not 2.**).
Is there any way to get around this to get either the Google or Samsung car / home apps to A.) install, and b.) work properly, with other roms?
I have tried A few different hellraised roms, CM7 countless builds, MIUI, Infused, Refused, etc etc.. I've probably installed just about every rom.
If I go in to the market and try to install them, most of them the samsung doesnt show up at all, and the Google says it is an incompatible device.
The few that did install or had it, would go into "car mode" but the app would never launch.

Lately past couple weeks on my captivate ive been trying out different roms for i9000 and i897 and for some reason market will not download anything. it just says starting download and never finishes, and in the notification bar it shows random apps that i never clicked to download say download unsuccessfull. if i do a hard data reset the market will work for a bit, but then does the same thing again. ive tried using 2 different gmail accounts with no luck.
the weird thing is that i thought i might have messed up some settings in my phone from flashing different roms, but the market works perfectly while running i9000 2.2 froyo jp3 and jpc roms. Ive tried various 2.1 roms, i897 jf6,jh2,jh3,jh7 and i9000 jm6, jm7, jm8 and all of them have the same market stalling.
Has anyone found a fix for this or are having this same problem? its really frustrating, but since 2.2 has a working market then i guess i just have to wait for OTA update captivate to froyo if there is no fix for this.
Are you on Wifi or 3G? I've had this same problem sometimes. For whatever reason it woulnd't download on the specific access point I was connected to, but when I switched to 3G it worked just fine. Other Wifi access points work just fine for me except for that one.
happens to me at home sometimes.. i noticed when the screen blacks out to nap.. and i turn it on.. the download starts
I get the same thing every once in a while. I fix it by going to Settings -> Applications-> Manage Applications, then Filter to show all applications. Scroll down and hit "Download Manager" and in there, hit "Clear Data." That seems to do the trick for me.
Yea it doesnt matter if its on wifi or 3g the download is stuck. Ive tried clearing cache & data on download manager & market with no success. I flashed i9000 jm8 last night on my i897 captivate and the market worked for about 20 mins even tho half of downloads wouldnt finish so i had to restart them...but now the market still is stuck on starting download. I ran i9000 jp3 2.2 yesterday and market worked perfectly, this is weird wtf google?

this happened to me when I moved for JF6 to JH3. I retraced my steps and it turned out that if I loaded my accounts from Titanium backup, I couldn't download apps from the market and it was stuck at starting to download. My suggestion is once you have your phone flashed the way you want it, restore only your apps, system settings, email, sms & mms..... restore your accounts manually.
I manual entering my email accounts, not using titanium backup to back up anything.

Hello there, have you managed to solve the download staling issue?
CHeers
EDIT2: It seems that it wont remember settings either. I disable WiFi, and after reboot its back on. Same with all other settings. If I uinstall an app, its back in normal function after reboot. If I install a new app, its gone after reboot. And I cant even perform a hard reset, everything back to normal after I tried it... sick stuff!!
EDIT: Actually it seems like it wont accept new installations or something. Because now it found new updates to apps I did upgrade earlier this morning already...
Its the two latest installed apps Im missing after installing them (Swiftkey X and Dolphin Browser HD). Also now Im trying to upgrade my phone to version 4 of android, but after downloading the firmvare, it need a restart and then I have the same problem as with the apps. Its like I never downloaded the firmware, tried 3 times now and all 3 times the same happens. Anyone have similar problems with their phones??
Also noticed that last the phone reset itself it yesterday at approximately 9.04 (that was when my weather app last updated). Really wonder what can cause this? No one with any similar experiences or possible solutions?
I'd been running rooted (Revolutionary) with the Verizon/HTC stock ROM (605.9) for awhile and fairly happy. Then I received the OTA push attempt about 2 weeks ago for 605.19... so I opted to defer the push for 2 weeks (June 1) so I could do some research and decide what best to do.
That's when the following problems began... I noticed right after the OTA request... that anytime I restart or reboot the Tbolt many of my core app defaults now go away:
GO Launcher... requires to re selected
Power widget... will not reload (but GO Calender widget is fine?)
Facebook... contacts sync have to be reset (but Google syncs are fine?)
Swype keyboard... must be re selected
Even though I could/can manually fix these disconnects, I decided to take the opportunity to try some other ROMS to see if that would correct the problem. Long story short... I have basically tried 4 different ROMS including 2 different stock ROM (650.19) variants. I am now currently running iKReaM.605.19.NOSeNSe.ROM.v1.0.RLS-R3Ds
which is a nice running ROM.
BBUTTT... with every clean and wipe and reflash, the above "default" disconnects occur? I have tried to search several sites for anyone experiencing similar problems with no success... I know this can't be a ROM issue because it occurs no matter what ROM I use.
Misc info: Several ($paid$) rooted apps that I use are... TiBackup, ADfree, Root Explorer, Superuser (DDChain), No Frills CPU, ROM Mgr... all of which seem to be working together just fine.
Thanks for reading and any thoughts would be appreciated.
I'm beginning to narrow this down to self-affliction... perhaps via something I've done in ROM manager and I keep restoring the problem (???). I deleted all backup data and have reflashed iKReam. One by one I'm adding apps back and have had no app "default" disconnects as of yet. Also I'm not going to reload GO launcher... since the default iKReam launcher (LauncherPro +) is working/reloading just fine and I don't want to chance it.

Sometimes weird things happen like this for the oddest of reasons.
Try running fix permissions in ROM manager.
If it doesn't work...
Did you also clear the dalvik cache when you flashed over to your new ROM?
Did you restore data only from your pervious ROM onto your new one?
Always make a backup before doing anything different, just in case.
If none of this works, I really don't know what to tell you man.
Hopefully this will bump your thread and someone will be able to help you out a little bit more.
Most times when I load a cm7 or above ROM, all my apps get restored as soon as I log into the play store... now suddenly it isn't. Is there something I'm not doing?
For me it sometimes randomly happens, or maybe it has to do with it not connecting correctly to google because of poor connection or something.

I don't think its poor connection, I'm on my home WiFi. When it works, it works great. All the apps, WiFi keys, and Bluetooth keys as well... when it don't, it REALLY dont!
I've noticed it too, seems to be rom specific, some roms do it, some don't. when I go thru the setup after flashing a rom, I have the option to restore apps, and another option to back up this phone with google. there have been a few roms where I only had the option to backup the phone to google, no option to restore apps from google. I don't remember which roms, should have made a list.
I'm with you, but the last two cm10 roms I've used, both had the backup & restore options, but did nothing once installed. I can flash Scott's cm10, not paranoid, the other one, and it will load allthe apps I had minutes before flashing. Cm7 does the same thing, but others just leave me high and dry only restoring bookmarks.
I have searched everywhere for someone having a similar problem and a fix, but for the first time on xda, I haven't been able to find one.
I have a Galaxy SIII on Verizon currently running Hyperdrive RLS13.
When I open the Application Manager, click on an app (any app, it doesn't matter whether I installed it from the Play Store or from an apk) and then click "Uninstall", it does nothing but goes back to the application list. It doesn't install, I get no error message, Settings doesn't crash...it just does nothing. It's the same as using the back button.
I CAN uninstall apps within the Play Store. Occasionally the uninstall button in the Settings will actually give me the confirmation pop-up to continue with the uninstall or to cancel it. But 90% of the time it doesn't and I have to use the Play Store.
I have done a clean flash once already and the issue still persists. My fiance who has the same exact phone as me (but in white) is also running Hyperdrive RLS13 and his phone is fine. In fact, I flashed Hyperdrive onto both our phones with the same exact SD card, using the same zip file.
I've been using custom ROMs for several years so yes, I've done all the obvious things, but I've reached the extent of my knowledge on what could be causing this. Can anyone tell me if they have heard of this issue before or a possible fix? I've never had this issue outside of Hyperdrive (I would post in the Hyperdrive thread but I don't have enough posts to reply in Development).
Have you tried flashing rls14. I would do your wipes and then flash the newest release.

I just downloaded it yesterday but I haven't flashed it yet - it's moving to my SD card right now. The only reason I posted for a fix though is because reflashing 13 didn't help... the issue just randomly started occuring about 3 weeks after I originally installed Hyperdrive. It makes me wonder what caused it.
I will be flashing 14 shortly and will report back.
Following a clean RLS14 flash, I still cannot uninstall within the Application Manager.
My fiance's phone (which I also updated to 14 as well this afternoon) can do so like usual.
So...any ideas?
workaround
assuming you nandroided coming from 13 to 14, just dont select those apps you want uninstalled to backup.
flash 14, restore apps, and only the ones you want will appear.
another workaround to try is install nova, long click the icon on a homescreen, select uninstall. not sure if this is a prime faeture though.
Well, sure - the even easier workaround is to just uninstall them with the Play Store, but I'd rather find out why this is happening.
So I've searched the web and the Hyperdrive thread and can't seem to find anything ANYWHERE. Any insight would be helpful. It seems to make sense that it could be a permissions issue maybe, but I don't know enough about building ROMs to know how to go about testing that.
