[Q] Market Apps wont download

I am using Coredroid V7.
When I am trying to download apps from the official app market, it doesnt download.
it says downloading then just clears itself out. i try it again it doesnt download it.
i even did a full wipe(1.5 and coredroid wipe) then freshly flashed the rom again, then it doesnt download again.
because of that i even had to RE-root my phone..well that didnt fix it as well..
it worked completely fine in 6.7. can anyone help me whats wrong with it? i even resetted my phone..nothing worked...
im trying to download miren browser..

Wow hmm I had this before. Are you setting up any accounts after flashing? What I mean is once you flash and get to set up tutorial,when it asks about setting up accounts,so u log into Facebook or Google right then?

Well, after the extensive wiping/rerooting/reflashing/reseting you've done, to no avail, maybe it's just the market acting up.
I've run into similar download issues both stock/unrooted and custom/rooted, from time to time. It's usually that stuck progress bar that never seems to move and never finishes, almost always when trying download something that's set to update automatically.
I've also run into specific downloads not kicking in, as you're describing. It usually clears itself up if I just wait a little while and try again.
Not a very specific solution to your problem, but all I'm saying is that after all you've done to "reset," that should have taken care of the problem, if the problem was indeed on your end.
FWIW.

Do a Search for Full Wipe, there is something you can run that just cleans yer device completely. I would try that. Else; I am unsure.

Settings->Applications->Market-> Clear Data/Cache ???
Worked for me =(

It's just a sporadic issue with the Android Market. I have encountered this very same problem and thought it was the rom but never did any reflashing or wiping data/cache but then I would go try to download an app and it would successfully download and install. I think it's an issue with the android market.

Just fyi, I flashed v7 tonight, and installed several apps after the fact, so I can at least assure you that it's but the ROM.
Sent from the computer I carry in my pocket.

Solution kinda
I was having the same problem tried all sorts of wipes to no avail ended up just downloading and installing new cooler looking app market thinking it would solve my problem but it didn't just gave me an error message to go along with it.....so the solution u say......annoyingly simple really reboot into recovery after installing new market clear cache and dalvik cache too just to be sure.
confirmed working as of 5 minutes ago.
with new market
on virtuous unity rom (but I don't see a reason it shouldn't work on most roms with weird market bug)
new market ***here***

[Q] Market Download Unsuccessful

I posted this over in the android general section. Hoping someone over here might see it since its on my Infuse.
I have a similar problem that many people have had with downloading apps from the market, however none of the solutions i have seen work. I purchased ADW Launcher Ex from the market the other day and it wouldnt authorize. I replaced all my billing info and then it authorized fine. I click on the purchased button and it authorizes, then says starting download, but after about 5 seconds it just stops and goes back to the bottom of the "my apps" list. I dont get a notification saying the download was unsuccessful, but when i try to download and install again, it says download unsuccessful and just goes through the same process all over again. Anything and everything else downloads and installs just fine.
I have tried wiping data and cache of the market and download manager.
I have restored my phone using CWM to a previous backup.
I have reinstalled my custom rom.
I tried an alternate rom.
I have reset my phone to factory.
I reinstalled the stock rom.
I tried logging out of and back into Talk.
I added another gmail account as well.
If ANYONE has any other ideas PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. Stupid google hasnt emailed me back yet, so i figured id probably get more help here anyway. Thanks in advance.

Your external SD card is causing issues with the mounted filesystem.
Try backing up everything that's on the card in your pc first, and then format the card. See if your purchases load then...

Just tried that and it didnt work. Downloaded GTG's ultimate unbrick to go back to complete stock. Still not downloading. I have no idea what else i could possibly do.

Try to set up a new account and see if you can down load things through that.

Im able to download everything else just fine with the same account. Its only ADW for some reason.
And of course im still waiting for google to get back to me.

Dont know why. But it just decided to download all on its own. Thanks for all the suggestions.

It takes some time to authorize a purchase sometimes. I bought Launcher Pro, and it said "authorizing" and didn't download. I went to bed and when I woke up it had downloaded.

[Q] Google Voice Search won't update from Market

I've tried on the stock rooted GB OTA and on Xboarders tweaked GB and each time I attempt to Update, I get an Installation error: Package file was not signed correctly. This is occurring after factory resets as well.
Am I the only person encountering this, as I've not seen any mention of it in the forums?

Did you try removing the previous version first?

Not yet... I have tried freezing it with no effect on the outcome. Will give that a shot, but I'm curious if anyone else is seeing this issue or if my phone has been hitting the bong when I'm not looking.
Update: Removing the system version (2.1.3) allowed me to download and install the latest (2.1.4). But it just seems like a weird issue. I wonder if LG had done something to the 2.1.3 version that made it incompatible with updating.

Same issue here im gonna root then reinstall the app.

I've done just as mentioned in removing and installing however
The message of voice search being an "incompatible update" appears. Would either of you have the old apk or help with installation of the new one? Unfortunately I thought I backed up the old .apk but it never fully downloaded to my dropbox server ...Thank you in advance!

try rebooting phone first then go to market and try to install i had that error earlier today and a reboot fixed the issue if not try rooting first

Thank you
It is rooted, and it worked after rebooting twice. The first reboot didn't do anything after deleting the ap. Then after looking around I found the lib folder and deleted that too. Afterwards rebooted again and it installed, Thank you though!

no prob glad i could kinda help

Where is the lib folder?

Parsing error when attempting to root with razorclaw

Please help me, I just purchased my Transformer last night and went to root it with razorclaw. It had already been removed from the market so i downloaded the APK but got a parsing error when I attempted to install. I then downloaded it on my computer and put it on a microsd card. Still getting a parsing error. I don't know what to do.

That message is usually cause by app that's not compatible or a bad download.
Since we know it work for the TF it's probably a bad download.
Try a different browser or download manager. Have you tried downloading directly on the TF?

Yes but I also tried downloading it on my computer and transferring it over.

Have you tried installing any other apk? Do you get the same error or they install OK?

Ok so i downloaded a different APK and got the same error. I have allow unknown sources checked. So what is it then?

You can try a few things
-try an "app installer" (if market app install)
-If you have ADB, try installing via ADB
Code:
adb install <path_to_apk>
-You can also try to get a logcat while installing an apk to see what's wrong
-You might just have to do a factory reset as a last resort.

i had to let mine update then this error went away and rooting went silky smooth

Have you got the latest os version?
I downloaded it with opera mobile and it worked for me.

You need to be fully updated with 3.2.1 then it should work.

I can confirm that, I also had that problem with my wife's TF before I realized that I did not have the latest OTA update. After applying the OTA, it installed without problems. The tool is probably compiled with minimum API level 13 (HC 3.2), so trying to install on earlier versions will trigger that error (although I'd expect a message with better explanation of the error).

[Q] Tweak Stock Adobe Flashplayer issue [RESOLVED]

i just noticed this last night, i tried to play a game of miniclip (lol dejavu) but the game never loaded,
i then downloaded it to my computer and then passed it to my phone,
i installed SWFPlayer from the market, and tried to run it but it gave me an error message that my phone did not have flash player installed, i went to the market and installed it, and tried it again, it gave me the same message,
i restarted my phone and tried again and it still didn't work, so i restored a NAND backup to test it and it worked this time so the issue is with the rom
I really like this rom is there a fix for this?
*Fixed* here is the same link from post #6 that fixed my issue

I would suggest asking dwitherell either by pm or in his Tweakstock thread, perhaps something he included (or left out) is causing the issue
