[Q] Cyanogenmod 9 Alpha Unable to install/update

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.

Cheers. Seems a pain, but never mind.

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!

Help with mms.apk

Hi everyone, today I was updating my SKY ICS 4.2E ROM with the latest update, I followed all the steps (it's been a while since Im doing this) and finished, I assumed everything went fine and continued using my phone. later i found out that the MMS.apk was missing and tried to reinstall it but never could. I also tried reinstalling the update but it didn't worked. so here Im asking for a little help, Thanks in advance.

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.

Adobe Flash Player

Those of you looking for the Adobe Flash playstore apk that was taken off of the market. Well here it is
Why should you download and install this? Well firstly its no longer available on the market, secondly if you want any kind of flash support on your device when browsing certain webpages, watching specific videos then you'll need this. Most of the browsers even the ones on the market dropped flash support, i'm not sure why but they did, and having this installed will give you that flash support back And lastly, it only takes a few seconds to install and won't harm anything so why not have it just in case you need it right?
Links:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6260242/Applications/com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bx4sftkd1mSvbE94YlV3dHFkZWM
That's the last updated version from the market. Pulled directly from my phone Just sideload it like you would any other application.
-Make sure "install from unknown sources" is checked on.
-Go into your favorite file manager find the apk and install it.
-There you go all done
***Chrome Browser does not support flash, the stock touchwiz browser does though***
Mods, i don't believe this is considered warez since it was never a paid app on the app store. But if this is somehow against the rules, please feel free to remove it and let me know
Disclaimer: I don't own this app, it was made by Adobe and then discontinued, i have simply provided a safe download link for anybody looking for the application so that they still have flash on their phone. I do not guarantee that it will work on your rom, and will not make any attempt to force it to work. Its the same application that was available on the market

Thanks. When jelly bean synergy drops I will be back for this.

I believe that you can still install, or at least update from the Adobe Flash market page, LINK

If you are running jelly bean you can't. And if you didn't previously have it installed you can't either. This is so people who still want it can sideload it and get it from a reliable source
Edit, when I get home later today I'll upload it to a few more sites

Added a google drive download link and added the apk as an attachment as well

Awesome, I've been looking for this. Thank you for your time and effort in uploading this onto xda!

[Q] How do you get Google Now to work???

I'm brand new to the SIII, switched from a Rezound yesterday. I'm rooted, unlocked and running CleanRom. I know others have gotten Google Now to work but I'm at a loss for device specific install instruction! This is what I did and had no luck, kept getting force closes and black screens: downloaded the m7_velvet.apk to extsd....rename as 'GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.....replace in /system/ app....change the permissions to read,write,execute/read,execute/read,execute....rebooted. Any help would be awesome!!

Download the flashable zip of your choice for the ARMv7. I recommend the online only version. Then flash it in cwm.

Dont know what post I was reading that was telling me to just install the apk, but what I was trying to install earlier was now obviously just the update apk. Works fine now, thanks!!

I just installed it today. I think it's a little silly that the back button doesn't work to exit the app. Others having issues with that?

Very true, not going to complain too much and all I had to do was drop a few files. I renamed all the other folders/files it was supposed to overwrite so all is good, didn't need to take a nandroid or anything. Pretty nifty feature to have and takes stock rooted one step closer to JB.

I would re-download it and try again, does the issue arise from flashing a zip or are you pushing it manually to /system/app?

Ive tried pushing and flashing.
Flashing every zip found on XDA for the 4.2 camera.
It records fine. But the recorded video doesbt play.
It reads 'video can't be played' and then it gets deleted. :/

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.
