Today I went to update the apps on my TF101 and couldn't find the market. The link to it on my home screen said that the app was missing. It's not showing up at all in my installed apps list or in Super Manager.
Has anyone heard of this happening?
Market for TF101 available?
Wow, no one. Okay, then it must be something I did (though I don't know what).
What's the best way to re-load the Honeycomb version of the market?
I have never heard of the Market app just disappearing (not to say it can't happen). Try this one to see if it work (it's v 3.3.12)
I installed it as an update but since you're without a Market I'm not sure how it will work for you.

BTW do you have root?
I do indeed have root. I'm worried that some app I have has deleted the market on me. Removing a bunch of apps while I try to find out. I only need communication and some pentest apps anyway on it.
Downloading the linked file now to give it a test. Thanks for the help!
Well, it worked (installed and connects), but it keeps force closing when I try to update or install any apps.
Try clear data for market, also clear cache for download manger
No joy.
Should I be moving the Market apk to a system app directory? I'd heard before that it needs to be in /system/apps/ somewhere. Or does it install itself to that location?
I have a com.android.vending-1.apk in data/app with Permission rw, r, r
(don't see a Vending.apk like on my phone in system/app).
I don't know what to do, then. Can't get new apps installed with the Market force closing on me. Can't update old either.
Backup up apps and data, you might need to do a factory reset.
Are you on stock ROM or custom ROM?
Stock ROM. Haven't seen a custom ROM for the TF101 that seemed worth it.
Backing up when I get home from work. We'll see if a factory reset will work.
Thanks for the help troubleshooting, baseballfanz.
Well, crap. I factory reset, and I still have no Market.
I definitely need help now. I need to find a Market APK that works.
This is the version that was officially updated on my TF
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16959871/Market-8009011.apk
Yeah factory reset will not restore anything deleted. It might wipe out certain data/settings that was conflicting with why it was FC.
Still no good. Constant FC.
This sucks.
Not sure if this will help. On some phone going into settings and choosing English (US) solved fc for market. Also I remember a member who had a rouge app causing the fc. Don't remember the exact app of hand
This is a tablet, not a phone. Also, I factory reset it, so no apps on it except the ones it shipped with.
Does anyone have access to the stock TF101 ROM?
To heck with stock. Installed Revolution. Good to go!

Were you able to resolve this? It seems I'm having the exact same issue. I even installed the above market with no luck.
Thanks in advanced.

can you still download these apps from market.android.com? are these apps compatible with your phone?

im not entirly sure what wiping data encompasses. i have wiped cache, same problem, and unless facebook suddenly dropped 2.3 for support, my phone can support it. ive had it installed before.
update: i tryed installing facebook from the site, it says its unsupported. i havent changed roms since last time i installed it. :/
I have the same thing, I cleaned market cache but that did not work.
I tried to install Goweather, I had it installed via a APK file I downloaded.
And found that there was a Update but in the market the Update did not showup. I was using 1.9.8 and in the markted there now is version 1.9.9
1.9.9 showed up as installed (not so because I have 1.9.8) So I uninstalled 1.9.8 and wanted to install 1.9.9 But no download button.
So I tried to install it via Web market and there it says device not supported..
Weird..
I have the same problem, it says that my device is unsupported.
Have the problem since I downgraded from cm7 to cm6 on my milestone.
Clearing cache and app-data didn't help
I had a nandroid and could extract many apps that market says are unsupported and all of them work.
Sounds like the version your running isn't compatible with the app. Can you list a couple of the apps that you get the download link and a couple apps where you don't?

primarily maps and facebook to not work. its a growing suspission that its my lcd density variable in my build.prop that i changed to make smaller on my screen. i verified that the rest of the file is the same.
chompsms as well doesnt but it seems that many of the games work
another update, build.prop doesnt seem to be affecting it
Have you tried APbrain or another pseudo market. APBrain has a instant downloader. Just sayin.
.... that doesn't seem to work for anybody
I've got absolutely no clue what's causing this but the release notes of the most recent CM7 version for my Optimus One P500 mentioned that this has been fixed. I'm not sure if this is specific to the P500 version, but if it isn't, then upgrading to the most recent CM7 version might help. In any case, looking through the commit log should tell you what the fix actually was and allow you to apply it to your version.
truthfully ide like to stick with google market. as much as fixing the phone and such so the check can go through, its moreso fixing symptoms than the problem(a descussion for another day)
ive been using cm7 nightly 144 for a while now. im not entirely sure if the new market is the problem or the nihtly. anyone else have any details on it?
Sometimes it happens if DPI is changed.

Screen resolution was the culprit for me. Changed to default, clear market data/cache, go to market, download, change resolution back. Stock, rooted rom, nexus s 4g.
I had that problem too on my tattoo, i just backup only market (NO Data app) with titanium then wiped cache, and restored and it work again.

I have a Motorola Photon, and I had tried to get the old Market backet back with a process I found in the forum. It didn't work, and somewhere along the line I lost the Market all together. I tried wiping the phone back to factory and the Market app did not come back. I tried to just install a version from 4Shared, but still doesn't work with any version I install. It says that "com.android.vending has quit unexpectedly" and then it FC's. It only seems to do this when I go to download an app. I can browse and search fine with no problems, just no downloading!! I admit I'm a noob, and probably messed with something I shouldn't, but I figured this would be a nondestructive thing to learn on. Man was I wrong!! This sucks...please help me!!

Did your phone rooted ? if rooted just backup all ur apps, and flash custom rom back. that way will restore all basic app. wait, did u try install market.apk ?

Yes...I was rooted but no custom rom. I don't know how to do that yet. This is going to sound stupid, but what exactly is a custom rom? After I wiped to factory condition I tried to install a vending.apk from 4shared and that still gives me same error. I will uninstall again and try a market.apk now. Is that the same as vending.apk?
A factory reset will only delete user data, it won't put back something that has been removed. You need to get the vending apk for the version you want and instead of installing it normally put it in /system/app. You can do so using Root Explorer or another root level file explorer. If you don't have one installed, I can post the apk of a free one for you. Mount system as r/w and copy/paste the apk into /system/app, then set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot. You should have your market back up & running.

That's what I originally tried to do and didn't work, but I will try it again...If you could post an apk of the market you know is good that would be great. Can u post an apk of a root explorer also? I havent checked 4shared yet. Is there another free download service other than 4shared? Thanks for your help!!
Just download Market and install it. If it FC then check the permissions.

(It's the new market btw. I know you don't want it, but you don't really have a choice at the moment)
Ok so this is weird!! I left the Market that wasn't working installed by mistake. I installed the OTA update that Motorola did, and then re-rooted my phone again. Now the Market is working for the most part!!! Only thing is...it FC's every time iot installs an app. It downloads and installs, but right after it installs it FC's!! It doesn't always close all the way...sometimes just goes to Market home screen. All the functionality seems to be working though, so I can deal with that.
Does anybody know why after the OTA update I can only get EDGE instead of 3G on a Rogers SIM card?
Did you clear Google Services Framework data and Market data?
Hey there. I have been trying to resolve the "Package File Invalid", so one of the things i read here on xda said uninstall updates for the android market. I did this, and it installed Google Play completely. I tried flashing a package with the google play market version 3.4.6, but it force closes as soon as I open it. Can anyone help me? :3
I'm not sure if applicable in your circumstance but whenever I start having issues with force closes I reboot into CWM and clear my cache & Dalvik (under advanced) then "goback" & check reset permissions & reboot PHONE .....NOT Reboot Recovery. So far, it's worked like a champ every time for me.
When does it say "Package File Invalid" ?
may Reboot Recovery
It said Package File Invalid when I was downloading Draw Something Free. But thats not the point, I deleted Google Play off my phone and need to know how to get it back.
The point is that the invalid signature error usually comes from either having a broken/warezed/older version already installed, or the download corrupting.
So the signature from the update/download doesn't match what is already installed or has just been downloaded.
Your problem now is that you probably just removed the market but not the other apps it depends on on.
So either restore exactly the market version you removed or flash a new version plus the matching versions of its dependencies.
I've tried flashing both version 3.4.7 and 3.4.6, and they both force close as soon as I open them. Can you show me how to make it work, or tell me how to get it from stop force closing?
I would suggest a nandroid backup and a complete factory reset.. chuck on a custom (up to date (ics) rom) while your at it

I too am having the issue with all apps after 260 apps installed. I noticed that when I uninstall one app I can install a app that had said "package file invalid" two minutes earlier. Its weird.

I had tried that before. I've been bouncing between Darkstar 1.0.2 and Blend 2.*. I have experienced this issue on all Blend builds and never had the issue on Darkstar. Its weird the first time I had the "package file is invalid" error I was reinstalling my backedup apps. It happened ony on 3 apps(gosms, titanium backup, bunny shooter) and everything else installed fine. 2nd time gosms and titanium backup installed fine, but other apps wouldn't install. The funny thing about it is one of the first apps had the error, but I still installed 30+ apps after that. I've wied and reinstalled Blend 2.3 3 times and this last time I got every app reinstalled and even a few more before the error. I uninstalled one app and installed one app that had previously failed. So I tried uninstalling 3 big apps(angry birds trilligy) and still can't install a 588 kb app. I can't install a single app now. Debating on flashing stock kernel, but really don't want to loose cwm.

Hey guys,
I'm running Lollipop on my nexus 5 and totally hate the new Gmail app for various ui reasons. The rest of the OS I generally like. I'd like to downgrade to the previous 4.9 version of the app to get the old ui back, but just simply trying to install the apk doesn't seem to work. Since it's a system app, I was thinking about replacing the apk with root Explorer. What do you guys think? Possible to do?
Does the install fail? As with all previous versions, they've been installable.
You may just have to learn to live with it though or find an alternative app.

Yeah the install fails. I figured it out though. First what I did was freeze the original app through titanium backup, and then it allowed me to install the old version. Has been working great since. Renaming the app in the system and then trying to install the old version didn't work - it installed, but just crashed right away.

Oh. I didn't realise you still had the other version.
Yeah you can't have two apps the same. Its not based on package name either. So you can rename them all you want but that won't work

Well I uninstalled all updates to the lollipop version (5.0) and then tried to rename the gmail apk in the system so the system wouldn't recognize it anymore. That removed the app and allowed me to install version 4.9, but after installing all it did was crash. I undid my changes and then tried to freeze the app in TB, which worked and allowed me to install version 4.9apk, which works great now. And then I just told the market not to update it to 5.0. I'm a fan of the older design on this app. Much more usable. The rest is okay and I like the new design.
Android likes to wait until ram is full. Then it clear ram when it needs it. This leads to lag since unlike iOS the ui is on the same thread(stupid). Also, android uses garbage collection which uses more ram unlike arc.
So, clearing processes does help but then it just builds up again.
With keyboards running at 40mb and gmail at 60mb this is only going to get worse.
There is also cache clearing that might help... But which cache doesn't lose settings? I'm also beginning to think that a lot of photos can slow things but I don't really know why since that should be static storage and nothing to do with RAM
I would really like to know how you managed to install gmail version 4.9 on lollipop... I have a oneplus one and I just got the paid version of titanium backup to try what you said worked for you - freezing gmail then installing a 4.9 APK, and while it looks like the freezing worked, when I try to install 4.9 it just says "App not installed".. no details or anything else. What else can I try?
