So, I recently flashed a new ROM and started to experience this problem
As I was syncing my apps back from Titanium, I rebooted my phone and I noticed that every app that was originally saved to phone storage seemed to have disappeared.
A closer look into Manage Applications showed all those apps in a "com..." format. I even took an app that was saved to the SD card that worked and moved it to phone storage. After a reboot, the app had also disappeared and changed to the above format. I even tried to uninstall these apps and reinstall via the market and when i rebooted again, the app was gone and back to the above format.
I've even tried to do a complete clean reinstallation of the ROM using the cleanest stock method possible and it worked to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Seems like a bad flash. Try flashing clean again. Try installing a couple of apps from market, and reboot and see if they are still there.

I used this in order to cleanly install the ROM twice with same problem. I uninstalled some of the apps in the "com" format and installed them from the market and when i rebooted the apps were gone, back into the same format as before

I just updated to JH7 using samsung kies and now I can't download any apps from the market. The phone is completely stock since I used Odin to flash it before the JH7 update. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Had that problem before the update... Unmounted the internal SD Card, then formatted it.. wipe my music, but I was able to reload it... That fixed the whole thing... You might also try going into recovery mode and clearing the cache....
Did you use titanium backup?
I used titanium backup a while back before the Odin master clear and flash to stock stock firmware.
Just removed my sd card and downloads work again. I guess the titanium backups that I had on the sd card is causing the problem.
It seems to stop working again after I downloaded quick settings. Can't download even after reformating the sd card and taking it out. Also I can't get the e-mail app to work. It shows "checking incoming server settings" then shows the message "unable to open connection to server. Tried it with wifi and 3g.
I think this has been answered several times over the last few days. Basics are to not let ti restore anything system related, only your apps and data.
That fixes the market problem, no idea on the email but id start with that.

I didn't use titanium backup to restore anything. Just used it to uninstall the bloatware before I flashed it back to stock with Odin. So how do I fix it?
I've been having a problem as of late and I was hoping maybe someone could offer some explanation, advice, etc.
Last Friday, after a full wipe, I flashed Liquid Gingerbread 3.0 after running 2.6 forever. I use My Backup Pro to backup and restore app data. I do not use it for anything else (no system data, etc.). I installed all my Apps from apks I had, then restored app data with My Backup Pro.
I then proceeded to move apps to sd with Apps2sd like I usually do. Everything seemed to be okay until I noticed a while later that apps moved to the card started disappearing, but the app data was remaining on the sd and the coms were still listed as installed. I uninstalled Apps2sd and reinstalled the apps, noticing that large apps (10 + mb) were installing directly to the sd. I checked the settings and made sure internal was set for app installations and tried again. Large apps were still installing directly to the sd.
Thinking that maybe I didn't wipe properly (lol) I did another full wipe (system, data, cache, davlik) and reflashed LGB 3.0. I did the same process as above with installing and restoring app data. I rebooted my phone to find that large Apps were still installing directly to the sd, and still disappearing and still leaving behind data on the sd.
I thought it was a ROM issue at this point so I did another full wipe and flashed iBolt 0.9. Still having the same problem so I know it's my phone.
I have a few ideas of what is happening but I don't know how to fix it. Is there something on my sd card that is affecting the way apps are installed? Is there a cm7 setting I'm missing somewhere that is affecting it? Are my wipes somehow leaving behind remnants? I know this is long but I was trying to be as specific as possible in hopes of some feedback. If someone has any ideas as to what is happening I'll try anything to see if it fixes it.
My apologies if there is a thread about this already here but Tapatalk search is seriously lacking.

The problem is below you. Lock your apps or DC will take your apps 2 !!

Today I tried to install viper rom. before I did that, I made a backup of my current axiom s rom using twrp. I also used titanium backup to move apps to sd card beforehand cuz I didn't want to reinstall everything. When installing viper I chose the full wipe option. When I rebooted I noticed that phone was stuck on an endless black screen, so I restored with my last backup. problem is now even with the backup I don't have any apps in my app drawer except stock rom apps! I installed a file explorer and noticed app data still present. my question is is there any way to restore these apps?
app icons are still on my home screen launcher bt when I press them they say "application not installed". When I try to reinstall using an apk, it asks me if I want to overwrite. This means the app is definitely still on my phone, just not accessible. Please help!

Have you already tryed to reinstall an app?
Can you find the apps in settings-apps?
And if you can find the apps in settings, try to delete data and cache of the apps.
And have you tryed to wipe cache in recovery?
I've had it for ages now without any problems whatsoever.
But last night something happened that i cant rightly explain!
I un-installed a useless notpad app, that i recently installed, and after that ALL apps in TBP shows with a warning triangle, even if i do a full backup it just shows the triangle and i cant restore ANYTHING..
It says it got the app and data, but i cant do ANYTHING with it.
I even reinstalled the whole ROM, TWICE without any change in how TBP is dealing with programs..
Complete format of SD card, exct..
Still it REFUSES to let me restore my apps..
Even if do a full backup, followed by trying to restore, it says i have zero apps to restore..

That sounds like a likely possibility. Maybe try a new backup and see if you can restore that? If that works, it would tell you that the original backup somehow got corrupted.
Ok, figured out what was the problem but damn it was annoying.
Under "Filter by platform"
Check EVERY single box EVEN those who where "empty" and presto, backups worked again.
Dunno why default download of the app set it to a few select options.
Seems dumb to me.
The phone became sluggish. I rebooted. After reboot, some of my apps were gone. :crying:
I opened Application Manager. It appears the apps got deleted became "com.(developer's name).(app's name)" and 0.00B.
I tried to install one app which got deleted. It failed. (Error code: -110)
What's wrong? How could I get back the apps, data and settings?
I have no SD card.
It is Samsung Galaxy Note 2, not rooted.
Please help. Thanks a lot.
Do a second clean reboot, and don't touch phone for 20 minutes. The apps MIGHT come back. If not, reinstall apps, then uninstall, and install again to clean up corrupted files. At worst, you might need to do a clean wipe of your system, as the file system itself might be corrupt, though normally I only see this on external memory cards.

What do you mean by clean reboot? I just switch off the phone. Wait 20 minutes and restart?
I couldn't reinstall the apps which got mysteriously deleted. They always fail. (Error code: -110)
I would like to save the data and settings of those apps before I do a clean wipe as a last resort. But how could I backup those data and settings when they are all suddenly gone. Please advise. Thanks a lot.

Yes, power off via menus, power on and don't touch for 20 minutes, then see if phone fixed self.

Tried but failed :crying:
Could anyone help? Thank you.
The system looks unstable. I couldn't reinstall those unrecoverable apps. I would like to backup data and do a factory reset.
But how could I backup those app data? The app data are still there, but the apps are unrecoverable.
I tried Helium which states it can backup app data without root access. Unfortunately those apps which got deleted mysteriously were not on the backup list.
Titanium Backup needs root access. I've never rooted before.
What's the easiest way to root my phone? Thank you.
