apps installer crashing
I'm having the same problem. My Nexus One just auto-updated to the latest version (2.1.1) and since then apps installer is crashing on open, and Email client won't work either - I can't get past the initial setup screen with my username/password - Next/Manual are greyed out. Tried downloading the Email apk from this site, but I can't reinstall it without apps installer (or at least I don't know how). I'm trying to avoid resetting my phone, but it's looking like I might have to.
apps installer sucks donkey ding dong......uninstall and use astro file manager......never forced closed on me since ive used it
My wife surprised me last night and took me out to get my gTab a week early! I brought it home and charged it, played with the default installed for a bit, and as we all know...it was awful. I proceeded to install VEGAn b5.1.1, that went as smooth as one could want...15 minutes and I was chugging along on a MUCH better/faster interface. The issue I am seeing now is there are certain apps (not Angry Birds) that aren't showing in the Market. I can't seem to find ADW Launcher, Facebook or Launcher Pro. Any thoughts on this? I cleared the cache and user data when I did the install so I don' think there should be any lingering issues there.
Thanks

When they are talking about clearing the cache and data for the Market fix, they are talking about clearing it for that app and not the full cache/data wipe when installing the ROM.
Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and then select the All tab, scroll to find Google Services Framework and Market. You clear the data/cache of those and force stop them. Back out to the main home screen and try to access the Market again. It should error out....reboot the device and after it boots...just wait for a few minutes. Try the Market again...it should ask you to accept it's terms again and hopefully show you more apps then before.
It's just one of those things with having a device that isn't supported by Google and hacking the Market to work.
LauncherPro is one I've seen appear and disappear in the available apps on my Gtablet running VEGAn 5.1. Without real Google support, even tricks and hacks can only go so far.
Luckily for me, I have a Motorola Droid and use that to grab anything my tablet doesn't see and then push it to my Dropbox account and get it from there for my tablet.
Most things I can see with all the Market fixes, do-overs and what not. My test being LauncherPro....saw it once...then it never appeared again after many "fix" attempts. That particular app is also available from the developers site ( http://www.launcherpro.com/ ).
This (using Dropbox) really works well since my other tablet will not boot so once I nvflash boot it....it needs to stay on. Market fixes (requiring a reboot, etc..) aren't possible, so Dropbox has been awesome for that tablet.
Two things that may help
Bluetooth File Transfer might help.
I put this link up a few days ago because I had the same problem.

Also, This video really worked for me with getting full market (roughly 98.9% really) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-ny...eature=related

Tried this again and it did the trick! Thanks! (Must have missed something the first time I tried).

Hey everyone, So, I was toying around with some apps getting them all updated and what-not, but when i closed the marketplace and reopened it, I did not find my apps i had installed anywhere. Just the main google apps.
None of my extra apps are to be seen. In part with this, No updates are being notified at all, So you can understand how frusterating it is for me.
All my apps are still installed and I installed Applanet and it can see them there just fine too. And they show up in my "Applications" section under my settings.
Anyone know how to make them come back to my downloads area in marketplace so i can update them again?
Mine has done that a couple of times recently, but seems to fix itself after a reboot. Very odd...
Hi All,
Since I'm a rookie, please pardon me that I'm not allowed to post/reply in the development section, so I have to report my issue about the custome ROM "Prime" here. If anyone is kind to repost my report to the proper thread I'd be appreciated (I can't still join the discussion until my post number reaches 10 though).
I just updated to 2.1.1 last week and all goes well. Only that yesterday I had a chance to open the updated Market (the newest one for Honeycomb, sorry not sure about the version no.), however when choosing a couple of apps, like ThinkFree Office Viewer or Kingsoft Office, the Market app would FC immediately after I press the "Install" button.
Also, the app link in my Folder Organizer to Market is also broken. There is a toast message "Error launching the activity". So I searched the Market for "Market" and found an old version of Market. After installing it, I now have two versions of Market"s" together, but with the old one I still cannot install any app.
Could anyone using the ROM share your experience with the new Market app? Thanks!
I get the same error when I try launching the market, with Prime 2.1.1. Error while launching activity.

Hi Beako, for me, it seems that the launching problem has been fixed, because now again the "Market" icon appears in Folder Organizer and Market can be launched successfully. I wonder if it's because Google has updated the Market version, since Prime remains the same.
I'll try to download the apps which failed to load previously and report back
i had a few apps stalling out on the download step... I just waited a few hours, tried again and it worked fine.
All,
I have read and experienced force closes when updating to this latest version 42.0.2311.129.
I have experienced force closes without error messages for a few apps after the update. Uninstalling and re-installing does not resolve the issue!
After reading some others who experience this as well I advise you all not to update this TURD !
After I uninstalled this update all my apps started working correctly again.
Its nothing more that Chrome without the shell.
Does anyone know if this can be permanently removed ?
Thanks in Advance
Update 4/25/2015 - as per suggested below you can use TB to freeze this nugget as so it wont update.
Update 4/30/2015 - You can get the latest release of this app here:

Thanks for the tip and the guys over on Fluent. Just froze it it TiBU. Went to Play and is was locked and loaded to update.
I wasn't having issues until the latest update a couple days ago. Now I've noticed my reddit client crops out all the time and several other apps close without error
Ahhh.. so is this fricking thing the reason most of my apps are closing lately??
I was just about to post seeing if anyone else has recently had problems with a lot of apps (Kik not letting keyboard open, tweetcaster, ES file explorer, my MZW app, and a couple others all just force closing right after I select them).
So is it this thing causing this? I have never seen this app until recently, maybe after the 5.0 update. Anyone getting solutions to work, this is very, very frustrating!! Just started about a week or so ago. What does this app even do?

Yes, I had issues with KIK, but clearing the cache seemed to do the trick with launching the keyboard. Cant say other than my experience.
My FitnessPal opened then closed. I tried uninstalling it, and re-installing it, to no avail. Only after I uninstalled that abomination did the app start to work correct. I cant say how many apps this thing is crashing, but after seeing the similar negative reviews on the playstore, I am convinced this is not limited to M8.
There are some fanboys of Google of this app raving about how it changed their life and they are not single b/c of it anymore, others saying its your phone, and to wipe you phone but you DO NOT have to wipe or reset your phone, just roll back the app should be good enough, if you are rooted use TB to freeze it.
I have not tried to remove it completely yet which is what i want to do eventually.
yeah.. I think it's a running joke type of thing to leave over the top, ridiculous silly comments about it on the play store. Do not know where or why that started but it detracts from the reality that this thing sucks! I unistalled the update, froze it with TI backup, restarted the phone and all my apps that were affected by (Tweetcaster, ES file explorer, my VZW, and probably others but those are the main ones I know of for sure) now work 100 %. It was definitely this app that was affecting them for some reason.
As far as Kik goes, not sure, I deleted the app, re-installed it, cleared everything, tried different keyboards, and nothing seems to fix the keyboard not popping up. If I click the + sign like to add an attachment, then back, it brings the keyboard up no problem. Hopefully an update to that app will fix it soon.
Here is a flashable.zip of the latest working version before this latest atrocity, in-case anyone needs it.
I couldn't even type in the stock HTC messaging.apk along with many other apps not working, with the new update. Once re-storing to this older version all my apps and everything is back to normal.
Google is much better than this.
I really don't understand how people can leave a comment in PlayStore saying this update is anything but horrible.

I came across this Google plus page discussing the latest Webview issues. The Webview engineer is reaching out for feedback on the M8.

Its good to know this thing is getting pushed so quickly
These crashes have been driving me nuts. What I'm confused about is that all of the apkmirror webview updates say they are for Lollipop API 21... I'm having identical issues on 4.4.4 CleanROM. When I first found people saying it was a webview issue I looked through system apps and there is no webview to be found so now I'm at a loss on how to fix it
