[Q] Cyanogenmod 9 Alpha Unable to install/update - HTC Desire S

I cannot install or update any apps on my phone. I can restore them via titanium, but not through the store. Does anybody have any ideas?
I'm running the release from 29th March 2012 if that helps...

It seems that trying to install the latest gapps has fixed it for now.
But it does keep trying to update Osmos, even though I bought it through the humble bundle instead of the pay store. Any help?
Also, don't know how to edit from the app, hence the double post.

Don't worry about the double post, nothing to worry about here.
You can try to clear the cache from play store, or maybe reinstall it. reboot your phone.
Sometimes it needs a while for the store to recognize all your apps and settings.

Thanks for the update on editing!
I restarted my phone last night and I couldn't install apps again. Rebooted into recovery and reinstalled gapps again and it seems to work again. Next time it happens, I'll try clearing the cache first.

There is no possibility to workaround. Games bought outside Google Play will be always marked but cannot be updated.

EDIT: Clearing the cache, data and force stopping hasn't helped the downloading issue.
EDIT 2: I installed Play Store v3.5.16 from here, and it seems to work fine now.

Thanks for the link,just install it and can confirm it worked for me.

Known Issue
Yeah - that's one of the known issues on CM9 Alpha unfortunately...
Very difficult to find an ICS ROM for the Desire S where everything "just works".

Thanks for the link, I had the same issue, but after I installed that, the issue is gone!

Check your credit card information on your account. My amazon app store was doing the same thing to me, free or not, until I realized the card I had on the account had been expired since January.

I don't use a credit card, charges appear on my tmobile bill. Two days ago everything worked fine. I haven't even made any changes on my account in that time.

Just a thought. I realized this started for me the same day I added another phone to my account. Of course the other phone is for somebody else with a completely different Google account, but this is the only variable I can think of. Do you happen to be on a family plan or anything like I am now?

If you don't know, then it doesn't really apply to your situation.
For clarity...cyanogenmod and a lot of the other roms aren't really suppose to include g(oogle)apps. These are the apps developed by Google such as maps, Gmail, play store/market, etc. So when you flash a custom rom like cm7 you also download and flash a zip file which installs these on your phone manually. All done through clockworkmod recovery.
I noticed that basically any of the less-popular apps in the play store can download and install without a problem. Only popular things like angry birds space and some of the other random things I tried seem to have this problem.

Well I can say there are A LOT of forums on here regarding this issue - however they date back to over a year ago. I've uninstalled some system apps (My Account for T-Mobile) and other non-essentials. I don't assume that is an issue. But like I said the past couple days it gets that error. One forum suggested removing the Google account then reinstalling, however my phone says it requires a factory reset for this. I've already spent lots of time customizing my ROM... Any other ideas?

Messaging isn't in Gapps.
OP, SkyICS uses Samsung's messaging apk so your best bet is going to be to re-install the base. I am attaching the MMS.apk from the SkyICS base, so you can try dropping that in \system\apps\; don't forget to change the permissions.
Thanks, I did that but it didn't worked either, but went to the play store and looked for the ICS message app and installed ;D it was that simple all the time, thanks everybody.
Before you reflash
Go to settings-> Applications-> all -> and scroll ALL THE WAY to the end of the list. See if it is disabled.
This happened on mine, just renable and was good to go.

I've had notification issues with that app; double-check that you're getting all your text notifications before you close the book on this. Otherwise, great app if you prefer the AOSP look, which I do.
It looks good, actually I don't mind how it looks as long as it works. thanks for the help everybody.

I know this is off-topic, but it's still mostly about the system/app folder o.o A few hours ago I pulled the updated market from the 4.1OTA zip and got it working. Any idea how to get Google Now working? I know it's pretty much locked down, but it's quite the wonderful thing.

FYI, one thing I've noticed about this zip is that it may install some apps in non-standard locations, such as gmail in system/app. Since this is different than other gapps packages (gmail is usually not included, so is installed via market to data/app), the CM backup script won't keep this from ROM flash to ROM flash unless you follow up with this app package flash again.

Anyone have any issues with the 4.2 Play store? I can't figure out why this is happening, but out seems only a handful of my apps are compatible. I had originally changed my LCD.density to 210, and then read that it had to be set to one of the non-custom numbers of 160 or 240, so I changed it to 160 (for fun), but it appears I have the exact same problem.
I never had an issue with the play store or apps requiring 160 or 240 (though I know some apps and games won't be compatible unless the LCD.density, the model, and manufacturer are changed in the build.prop file)... So the 160 or 240 setting seems incorrect.
Anyway, I have tried clearing data/cache for the play store, and the same thing for Google services framework (and reboot), but still have no change.
Could it be anything else in my build.prop file?
I am running Baked Black Bean (a JB 4.1.2 AOKP ROM).
Any thoughts or help are appreciated!

Don't like the keyboard. When I swipe, it wont show my swear words, such as ****, ****, ****, and so on, even though I saved the words to my dictionary. **** always shows as duck and I can never type ******. I will stick with Swype Hopefully Android will allow to swipe custom saved words in the future / official release.

[Q] Cannot Click on Google Search Results if the result is more than one line long

Ok, so this is probably a weird one. I'm using an HTC One X with ViperX 2.1.2 Rom on stock kernel. I started noticing that when I use Google Search (the widget or the app), I'll search for something and when the results come up, I couldn't click on some of the results. I click on the blue text and it just highlights it once then does nothing. It won't launch the browser. So then I was noticing that it was only happening sometimes, so I continued to experiment and found that it only does it when the title of the result extends onto two lines. If the resulting webpage title is only one line long, the link opens the browser perfectly every time. This being one of the most used features on my phone, it gets extremely irritating. I've tried everything I know to try. Please help!

Thanks for the reply. Tried that and only made more problems. I just found that when I rotate my phone to landscape while viewing the results in.google now, I am able to open any result. (Because the webpage titles don't extend onto two lines). Such a weird issue! It's like when you tap a result, the programming only knows to try to open the immediate next line.
I just tried to duplicate your issue. All works well. I'm on CM10 with full 4.2 gapps. ???? Maybe try a different ROM?

I would, but I love the viper rom so much. It's just this small issue that I can't figure out. I've tried finding a reinstall for google now itself that is compatible with ViperX 2.2.0, but haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know where i can get that?
Thanks
Must have been a super rare problem, no one else has had it like me. I since installed a newer version of viper and it works fine. I think a potential for some of the weirder random problems with these roms might be a virus scanner on your computer (if you downloaded the Rom on your computer). Seems that it might break the Rom in small ways.

Just the version that came with the rom ...can't update I because it's not compatible on the play store. I did some research and since it is an ICS rom it must be some special modded version of the JB or whatever version of Google search. All the projects trying to mod the newer Google search versions to ICS appear dead, so I figured it was hopeless and just used "Google now remover". Now I'm back to the old Google search. Funny though, as this rom is still in somewhat active development and it's specifically designed for my phone but nobody on the development thread has ever mentioned this problem. Oh well, not really a problem for me now.
If you have root you can use Titanium Backup to uninstall system apps, you could do that and then install Google Search from the Play Store which should update it to the latest version.
