I have searched everywhere for someone having a similar problem and a fix, but for the first time on xda, I haven't been able to find one.
I have a Galaxy SIII on Verizon currently running Hyperdrive RLS13.
When I open the Application Manager, click on an app (any app, it doesn't matter whether I installed it from the Play Store or from an apk) and then click "Uninstall", it does nothing but goes back to the application list. It doesn't install, I get no error message, Settings doesn't crash...it just does nothing. It's the same as using the back button.
I CAN uninstall apps within the Play Store. Occasionally the uninstall button in the Settings will actually give me the confirmation pop-up to continue with the uninstall or to cancel it. But 90% of the time it doesn't and I have to use the Play Store.
I have done a clean flash once already and the issue still persists. My fiance who has the same exact phone as me (but in white) is also running Hyperdrive RLS13 and his phone is fine. In fact, I flashed Hyperdrive onto both our phones with the same exact SD card, using the same zip file.
I've been using custom ROMs for several years so yes, I've done all the obvious things, but I've reached the extent of my knowledge on what could be causing this. Can anyone tell me if they have heard of this issue before or a possible fix? I've never had this issue outside of Hyperdrive (I would post in the Hyperdrive thread but I don't have enough posts to reply in Development).
Have you tried flashing rls14. I would do your wipes and then flash the newest release.

I just downloaded it yesterday but I haven't flashed it yet - it's moving to my SD card right now. The only reason I posted for a fix though is because reflashing 13 didn't help... the issue just randomly started occuring about 3 weeks after I originally installed Hyperdrive. It makes me wonder what caused it.
I will be flashing 14 shortly and will report back.
Following a clean RLS14 flash, I still cannot uninstall within the Application Manager.
My fiance's phone (which I also updated to 14 as well this afternoon) can do so like usual.
So...any ideas?
workaround
assuming you nandroided coming from 13 to 14, just dont select those apps you want uninstalled to backup.
flash 14, restore apps, and only the ones you want will appear.
another workaround to try is install nova, long click the icon on a homescreen, select uninstall. not sure if this is a prime faeture though.
Well, sure - the even easier workaround is to just uninstall them with the Play Store, but I'd rather find out why this is happening.
So I've searched the web and the Hyperdrive thread and can't seem to find anything ANYWHERE. Any insight would be helpful. It seems to make sense that it could be a permissions issue maybe, but I don't know enough about building ROMs to know how to go about testing that.

I have been having this issue since oh I say about CM6 Nightlies 8/26-8/27 when the "Market Issue" crept up. And let me say I know that had nothing to do with this ROM per-say. I am using CM6 now on 9-1 nightly...Perhaps someone has\had the same problem.
No matter what I do using AppBrain or just the Market app I keep getting these dam force close on trying to download these 3 updates. 1. Handcent SMS and 2.Droid Battery and 3.Clockwork ROM manager. All of these apps I have removed and re-installed and then tried the market again...Still shows they all 3 need to be updated. Obviously when I am re-installing I am installing the last version I have prior to the updates that both sites say I need. Should I go into manage apps and wack all the updates for all 3 of these apps? Or is there a fix for the market itself? I have removed AppBrain and re-installed but that did not fix the issue either.
Now I have not been wiping anything on these nightlies I might add..And I have never had ANY issues other than the ones mentioned here. I have noticed the GPS issues as a lot of others have. But on 9/1 has ZERO GPS issues and locked in a matter of seconds. Also, I only can get ANY data via WiFi...<---A whole OTHER issue. But I know the fix for that. I just need to have my phone added with my Provider...Which is MetroPCS blah blah. I can get SMS and the Net of course now that there is a nice Proxy Setting which I hope that remains in the final build.
Anywho...Market issues anyone? Is there a way to wack the market.apk and re-install it? I have cleaned cache on just about everything I could think of..Re-set defaults etc on the 3 apps in question. Suggestions?
What I need is
Handcent SMS Version 3.2.9...Again I am NOT able to get to the market and I can't get on WiFi at the moment...
After further investigation ALL I need is Handcent SMS 3.2.9 I have the other versions I have NO idea why it keeps saying that I need to update the other two I have the latest of Gauge Battery Widget and ClockworkROM Manager. Hmmm interesting...

This is a recent and known google problem, not a rom problem. Google's servers have been overloaded, sot his is why the market is not preforming well.
i'm having a similar issue for quite a while now. probably over a month but i've just been dealing with it.
i think it started when i put cy mod 6 on my hero after a complete wipe.
i can not install any apps. from appbrain/market it will go through the dowload process and begin installation. but the installation is always unsuccessful. for almost every app. i've tried restoring from myback up, titanium back up, app saver. nothing works.
i was just about to completely wipe my phone & sd card but thought i'd take a look here first.
any help would be greatly appreciated. =)
So I'm having a really strange issue. I got my Atrix 2 a few weeks ago after owning the OG since it launched. I'm currently running 2.3.6 Stock Deodexed installed via CWM restore in bootstrap. Everything is working fine, except this: the Voice Search app, which I use a lot, continually reverts itself to default settings. As long as the app is running, it behaves normally, but when I kill the process, reboot the phone, or too much time passes, it seems to wipe out its own data. As a result, nearly every time I use it, I get this first run dialog asking me if I want to enable personalized recognition and a tutorial overlay. I've selected both options multiple times and the issue persists. A few things:
1) I'm not sure if this has been happening since the beginning, because I've been rooted and deodexed in some form or fashion since the 2nd day I had it. I don't remember initially having a problem, though. Maybe someone running straight stock with no mods could test this?
2) I use local data encryption for both the SD Card and the app storage, as required by my corporate exchange server. That's the only thing I can think of that might be causing this.
3) I've reinstalled the app multiple times.
4) It seems like Voice Search can't be moved to the SD card.
Anyone else having this problem?

s a matter of fact, I have had it happen to me a couple of times too. I'm running lfabor's SC_V5 Update 2 though.
Now I shall reply to you statements / questions:
When I was running stock 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 I didn't have this issue.
I do not use encryption as its not required for my corporate sync (nor is my phone a company phone)
I have not tried to reinstall it, as I dont use very often, and only had to he issue happen a couple of times. This is also because lfabor placed it in the
system directory, and I've been to lazy to move it out.
The reason it can't be moved to SD is because the SD storage has to be enabled by the developer of the app.
Also note I am using swiftkey X for my keyboard, but if you are having issues with stock I don't think swiftkey is to blame.
I have not
I have had this issue TONS of times on a 100% stock not even rooted phone. I think there is just something screwed up, I dont think it's because of anything you did. My SD card is not encrypted, and I am also using Swiftkey X (but I doubt its swiftkey X). Infact I think it even used to happen before I started using swiftkey x.
I have the same issue, and I'm also using Swiftkey X. I'm sensing a pattern...
While I haven't empirically tested enough, I think the voice search might be resetting every time that Swiftkey gets updated (like with new language files, since that seems to happen quite often).
I'll try to keep track to see if there's a link there.

I'm not using SwiftKey, but I do use the ICS keyboard, so I tried uninstalling it and freezing Swype for good measure. It didn't seem to affect things, at least on my end.
I'm having the same problem. I installed the swiftkey x keyboard to give it a try but uninstalled it when I didn't like it. Have had the problems even since the uninstall. Currently using the stock keyboard with stock rom rooted.

I'd been running rooted (Revolutionary) with the Verizon/HTC stock ROM (605.9) for awhile and fairly happy. Then I received the OTA push attempt about 2 weeks ago for 605.19... so I opted to defer the push for 2 weeks (June 1) so I could do some research and decide what best to do.
That's when the following problems began... I noticed right after the OTA request... that anytime I restart or reboot the Tbolt many of my core app defaults now go away:
GO Launcher... requires to re selected
Power widget... will not reload (but GO Calender widget is fine?)
Facebook... contacts sync have to be reset (but Google syncs are fine?)
Swype keyboard... must be re selected
Even though I could/can manually fix these disconnects, I decided to take the opportunity to try some other ROMS to see if that would correct the problem. Long story short... I have basically tried 4 different ROMS including 2 different stock ROM (650.19) variants. I am now currently running iKReaM.605.19.NOSeNSe.ROM.v1.0.RLS-R3Ds
which is a nice running ROM.
BBUTTT... with every clean and wipe and reflash, the above "default" disconnects occur? I have tried to search several sites for anyone experiencing similar problems with no success... I know this can't be a ROM issue because it occurs no matter what ROM I use.
Misc info: Several ($paid$) rooted apps that I use are... TiBackup, ADfree, Root Explorer, Superuser (DDChain), No Frills CPU, ROM Mgr... all of which seem to be working together just fine.
Thanks for reading and any thoughts would be appreciated.
I'm beginning to narrow this down to self-affliction... perhaps via something I've done in ROM manager and I keep restoring the problem (???). I deleted all backup data and have reflashed iKReam. One by one I'm adding apps back and have had no app "default" disconnects as of yet. Also I'm not going to reload GO launcher... since the default iKReam launcher (LauncherPro +) is working/reloading just fine and I don't want to chance it.
App Defaults
Sometimes weird things happen like this for the oddest of reasons.
Try running fix permissions in ROM manager.
If it doesn't work...
Did you also clear the dalvik cache when you flashed over to your new ROM?
Did you restore data only from your pervious ROM onto your new one?
Always make a backup before doing anything different, just in case.
If none of this works, I really don't know what to tell you man.
Hopefully this will bump your thread and someone will be able to help you out a little bit more.
Hi guys, i was playing a game called F18 Carrier Landing, when my phone froze. I long held the power button so that it could reboot. After it rebooted, i unlocked it, and it gave me the interface as if i freshly flashed a new rom or i did a factory reset (the interface asking about google and setting up accounts). So, i completed that and once my home screen popped up, i faced a few force closes, from titanium backup, my anti-virus software Avast, and various other applications. I was very freaked out at this point. I remember reading something about fixing permissions if i faced constant force closes, so i rebooted to recovery and fixed permissions. Booted up fine, still missing data, but no force closes. But my google maps does not seem to work, i open it and it opens to the orange-ish checkerboard backing, but then force closes. I'm not exactly sure what to do at this point. Can anyone advise me on what to do or if this ever happened to them? For reference, i'm still on Froyo (don't ask why) 2.2.1, ROM's Audiophile Redux by Raver. If you require additional info to help me find a solution, i will gladly comply. Thanks!
EDIT1: I uninstalled my Maps with Titanium and restored a really old version from September of last year, and it seems to be working. Or atleast it opens and loads.
EDIT2: It seems to only load apps stored on my internal/phone storage. As i checked Applications in settings, the SD tab was empty as if there are not apps from the SD card installed, what can i do about this?
This has happened to many of us on GB. Crazy it happened on Froyo. You are going to need to reinstall your missing apps. If it is similar to what happened to us your phone factory reset on it's own.
Alright thanks, when it happened i thought it was a pretty serious problem, but as i restore my apps from Titanium, i realize it's not that bad. Just glad to know i wasn't alone on this ordeal. I plan on hopping onto AOKP or maybe MIUI when my contract ends, this phone is just to valuable to me at the moment. They both seem so fast and amazing, plus AOKP has themes. K, so quick question, do you know the reason behind this, i mean, is my SD corrupted or something? I can still play the music and the videos from it on my phone, but i don't understand why it wouldn't read the apps on the SD.
None of us have nailed down the cause unfortunately.
Thanks anyways, up and running with most of my apps back. Gotta get around to flashing a new ROM someday. So many good one's coming out!

This is the second time I've had this problem. I'm running Paranoid Android 2.52 on my Infuse, and everything's been working just fine ever since I ported it. I've installed no new apps and have changed nothing whatsoever, but suddenly, Gapps has begun crashing and this takes other processes down with it.
On boot, Gapps will immediately crash, which takes Talk down with it, and sometimes Trebuchet. And a handful of my apps are crippled by this problem, as well. I can't download anything from the Play Store, the download immediately errors out. If I try to create a picture message, Messaging will crash (though regular texting is okay). Titanium Backup crashes on load, and I'm sure there's plenty more errors I haven't found yet. And the little WiFi or mobile data icons in the notification bar never turn blue, they're permanently grey now. But I still have the ability to use data and make calls (I can connect to Facebook and dial my voicemail, anyway).
I've done some searching into other people with crashing Gapps, and one suggested a fix by wiping the cache and dalvik cache, but this didn't improve anything. Someone fixed it by formatting datadata, which I don't have as I'm on JB. Another suggested it's a shortage of storage space in the apps folder, but I'm showing hundreds of megabytes left in that particular folder alone. I've used a very small percentage of my phone storage altogether. Phone, internal, and external SDs are very low in storage use. When searching for apps, I prioritize a very small file size.
The first time this occured, it was as sudden and inexplicable. The first time was on an older version of PA JB. One day it worked, the next day, after making no changes of any kind, Gapps started crashing with the same symptoms. After enough searching and failing, I decided I was okay with just wiping back to stock and moving up to the latest (at the time) PA, so first I experimented with flashing the newest compatible version of Gapps, and then EVERYTHING on my phone would crash on boot, and it was completely unusable. So I Odin'd back to stock, worked my way up to PA 2.52 a few months ago. The release had only been a couple days old at the time. And everything was perfectly solid and stable, up until just today, again with no changes made on my part.
The only thing I can report is that this time it began happening while I was watching a YouTube video, which I tend to do a lot on my phone, over WiFi. I haven't installed any new apps in weeks, I haven't changed any settings since I first ported PA. Just, suddenly, BAM. Gapps is completely unusable.
Anybody have any idea what the issue is and how to fix it?
Be sure you are using this version of gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
If not, uninstall the version you are using, wipe cache and dalvik and install from above link. Also be sure not to restore from TiBu anything more than just the app. (no data). gl

That is the precise version of Gapps I'm using. Also, I never performed any restore from Titanium, because when this happened last time, it prevented Titanium from loading, so I couldn't make a backup. I made a Nandroid backup from CWM, but then I discovered that no app could restore from the Nandroid backup because it's JB. So, this current port is entirely clean and from scratch, basically.
This is the exact process I went through when going back to stock and building up to JB:

There was absolute minimal use on the phone between steps. Only use was to prepare the phone for the next steps. All instructions I followed are found in those threads and it all went without error.
You did a great job with the process. I am on a different rom (4.1.2 using Scott's build as a base) and am using 20120726 gapps with no prob... may be worth a shot

Well, the last time I had this problem and I tried updating Gapps, it rendered my phone completely unusable, everything would crash on boot, requiring the return to stock. And to be totally honest, this is the week before finals for me, and I just don't have the time to do a whole new back-to-stock-and-build-up right now, lol. So I'm hoping there's a solution that doesn't require all that time and work, because I won't have the time until next Monday night or Tuesday morning. And that's a long time to go with a phone that doesn't work properly.
Either way, thanks for your help so far.
It also appears that some of my apps have started vanishing. I haven't uninstalled anything, but I noticed that my XDA app is no longer there. Just... vanished. And there are some apps I have on my home screen that, when I try to open them from the home screen, I get a small error saying "App is not installed," and that app is not present in the app drawer, despite its shortcut still being on a home screen.
A long series of bizarre errors, this.
How come you gt to have all the fun ?? lol
I will try to find time tomorrow to download the rom and see if I can duplicate the errors and go from there.
I made a tiny breakthrough last night. I was going through my app manager and saw that, despite my clearing the cache in CWM, some apps still had HUGE caches reserved. So I cleared the cache of apps like GooManager, Play Store, YouTube, G-Mail, and any other apps that had enormous caches, and the problem seems to have subsided as a result.
I remember doing something similar last time, and it only worked for a couple hours before the problem came back again. So I'll keep you updated on whether or not the issue does come back. But so far, it seems to've done the trick.

Nice! There is an app in Play called Cachemate (free) that I like for stuff like this. I use it every 2-3 days.
Welp, it's been about a week since I cleared the caches and things. I also moved all the apps to the SD card that would still work. I found an app (DroidSail) that will force-move apps to the SD, regardless of whether or not the stock app manager will allow it. Such as Facebook. There's no reason the 33mb of Facebook can't be on the SD. And a couple other apps like that, the real unimportant, non-functional ones.
Anyway, it's been about a week now and so far, so good. That seems to've done the trick. But why does that happen? What makes this kind of maintenance necessary? And, actually, while I'm at it, what cache am I clearing in CWM if it's not this one? And why does my phone require somewhat regular cache-clearing? Is it a PA thing, or a JB thing, or is just a me thing because I've done all this to my phone?
Either way, final verdict:
Anyone having these problems in the future. just clear your caches using the above methods.
