If you flash a google image it wipes everything. Malware won't survive the wipe. Are you getting your apps legit or from aptoide and places like that?

Clean flash again and don't connect to router. Use cellular data only and see what happens. That will at least eliminate the router

Hard reset it, update it's firmware and then hard reset it again.
your google account might get these so called persistent malwares into your boormarks or other save settings along.. Even after you clean re-flash stock image.. you would still get the malwares when you login to your account and sync everything back..

EDIT SOLVED the encryption/auth files in the folders called .______ <<-------- i don't remember the name but yeah i deleted it
So essentially I have angry birds seasons ad free off amazon that i got for free that one day it was free :O *lots of free*. Now im going to update that and a couple other apps and they all said Application not installed in the htc/android installer area.
Now here's the thing it's not just amazon apps that are having these issues, its market place too and installing apk's will have the same thing. Even my previously backed up version of seasons will not restore *I uninstalled it to see if it would install the new version*.
I'm going to update to das bamf 1.5 today *from 1.4* so I should be able to install the apps, but why would 90% of the apps im trying from amazon/android mrkplace not install *even if they had before*?
Note: I have over a gb of free space on the phone, sd card is like half full
Thanks

This problem usually happens when you flash a ROM AND a custom script all at once. For instance, I noticed if I flashed das BAMF remix and the desense script in one session, I was unable to install apps. I would recommend always flashing the ROM, booting all the way up with no modifications to it, then going back into recovery and flashing your mod scripts.
The ROM creators may have a better answer than I do though. Let me know if it works for you.
I didn't see the q/a section of tb forum, but yeah I dont remember installing any extra scripts. I will look out for it though when I update to the newest one.
Ok i installed das bamf 1.5 remix and I still am getting the same issue.
>_> for example angrybirds rio *from amazon* said this app is incompatible with my device *BS! It didn't say it the day it was released and it worked just fine...
android market place fails to install any angry birds.

I am having the exact same issue now after flashing tesla coil 1.7. I've gone all the way back to stock and I'm still having the same issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?
I am going to reroot and try flashing the same ROM that caused this and see if maybe it was something wrong with the rom download.
I went back wiped and reinstalled 1.5 remix with only amazon installed and it still did not install anything. So the fw is conflicting with something.
Looking back now about 20 apps won't install same via titanium.

How do you have Amazon installed if you cannot install anything? Make sure you're actually wiping everything via clockwork.
Aside from that, try unmounting your SD card and then installing, it's helped me a couple of times when my market decided to stop downloading.

I downloaded it from their site w/o the use of android market place or amazon appstore.
Everything is wiped before install of 1.5 remix i cant get about 20 different apps to install/restore *the apk's were backed up using appmonster before root and Titanium back up after root. A backup on my desktop of both and on the sd card. No version of those ~20 apps will install *previously were installed and worked*.
*also i unmounted sd card O_O and it installed marketplace apps, now what would be conflicting on the sd card :/ to cause that. Hmm that's a temp fix, but amazon and TI are what I need to figure out.

As you can see, it was not installed properly
Not to be whatever, but if the app isn't compatible with tablets, then it shouldn't work for the Fire until it is.. Are you trying to download on Amazon App Store or Market? Because if they put it in the Amazon app store then that would be VERY stupid on their part..
I read that the whatsapp application does work on KF.... if someone has the steps to install this correctly, do share. I used a friend's Android phone to upload the apk to Dropbox and tried to install it from there.
I tried using Ti Backup, but when restoring whatsapp on the kindle, the process either hangs or give me the error that the app is not installed. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I got it working. but I had to locate an older version to install. I think the newer version of whatsapp does some check and thus prevent installation on the kindle.

i have installed it in my fire
but the following msg was shown when i try to use it..
I hope its ok to upload here, do inform me if i am breaking any rules.
Note that I am using the original kindle OS and not a rom like CM7. I am doing this as i cannot even get the newest version of whatsapp to be installed much less to work. I was unable to get to the screen that rhs013232 has shown. I keep getting the error "Application not Installed" during installation.
So basically what i did was to:
1) Do a Ti Backup of whatsapp on my phone
2) Transfer the 3 whatsapp backup files (these 3 were created when backing up whatsapp) from my phone into the Kindle's Ti backup folder
3) install a copy of this version of whatsapp on the kindle
4) Restore the "Data" (not App or App+data) of whatsapp using Ti Backup
This should allow whatapp to work after that.
This copy of whatsapp will keep complaining that its an older version, so just tap ignore.

i MIGHT be wrong, but...
i think since you have installed a different rom and thus it seems you managed to get whatsapp installed, all u need is to do a restore of whatsapp data. This will pass the kindle's copy of whatsapp the phone's data of registration etc allowing it to work.
So i think you should uninstall and reinstall whatsapp (dont open whatsapp first till after the restore) and do the restore using TI backup to see if you can get it working before you try to use the older version.

it can install on my fire but another msg was shown..
I don't have any android phone, so are there any other method to use whatsapp on my fire?
or can you share those back up file?
Sorry man, but i dont think the whatsapp backup files can be shared as it will contain my account details. That means if you use them, u will be receiving msgs from my contacts instead.
I would suggest you borrow a friends phone and using your SIM card, you set up whatapps there and do the backup. That might work.
Since I don't have an Android phone, I uploaded the older version of whatapps to dropbox and installed it from there but to no avail. I am still getting the:

you will definitely need Ti Backup from an android phone. cos without it I was also unable to start using whatsapp as I will have the same error as you.

Ok, I flashed Nothrillrs A700 build for the A510. It is fast and high sensitivity, but has got some problems.
I now want to go back to my stock Acer ROM...how can I do this? My build previously was _A510_1.073.00_WW_GEN1
Also, once I go back, what will I lose? I.e., unlocked bootloader, root, cwm. Can I OTA after flashing back to stock?
Any and all help will be welcome!

You surely did a nandroid backup before flashing the new rom? Easiest way to go back is to restore your old rom (boot into CWM recovery, select restore and chose the image you made before flashing the new rom). You won't loose anything as the restore process just re-creates your system to the point where you made the backup.

Ok, but the image size is just about 12 MB. The ROM I flashed was about 300MB. Will this restore all my apps too?
Thank God I did the nandroid backup. Everything back to normal. I never knew this was possible. How come the recovery saved on my ext SD card is only 12 MB in size, but this can restore every single detail of my system as per normal?
One problem: it says system updater failed. Does this mean I won't be able to get anymore updates again? Any idea why?
Update: I can't get refunds from Google Play anymore, within the 15 mins period after flashing this ROM, and even after returning to my previous nandroid restore. Any way to fix it?

Perhaps you ask too many refunds? I've heard of accounts being flagged to prevent piracy (it's easy to buy an app, copy it, refund it, etc.) for too many refunds.
It's not because of my ROM as refunding works fine when using my ROMs. You can even backup/restore to your Google account when switching between ROMs, so Google doesn't see them as 'unofficial'.

I thought the same. So I created a brand new Google account, logged in to Play store....and I still can't refund apps! Actually, the refund option is there, but not for 15 minutes. The moment I exit Google Play after downloading the app, the refund option will disappear. Before that I can still see it as long as I returned to the app page in 15 minutes.
I strongly suspect is your ROM. Can anyone else please verify?
UPDATE: Ok, can you try getting an app (just a cheap one will do), and then use it, do other things like run the web browser/play a game and then go back to Google Play and get a refund after 5 minutes. I believe with the A700 Franken ROM for A510, this will not be possible.
It's not my ROM, I've tested this before, but fine:

Started the app, then went back to Google Play after a few minutes
Refunded
Like I said before, it has nothing to do with my ROM, or any other custom ROM for that matter. It most likely has to do with the fact that you, as you said yourself, refund alot of apps. There's a reason Google brought the timeframe back from 24 hours to 15 minutes, they are trying to prevent piracy and I'd be suspicious too if someone refunds quite alot. Especially since most of the apps out there offer free versions you can try before purchasing the full version.
But, all that's just my thoughts, and I am not Google. Therefor I'd suggest contacting Google to see what's up.
I no longer have internet access on my G2x. I did a factory data reset and was going to restore all my backups form my SD but forgot I need Titanium Backup, which I purchased, to do this. I plugged in my phone to the USB. I went to my google account and Titanium show that it had been purchased. So I clicked install. The proper device was listed. I installed the key also. It now indicated that they are installed but I don't see Titanium Backup ion the apps drawer.
Ant way to get Titanium Backup back on my phone without the use of internet connection on my phone?

I'm a little confused about your situation. Do you have a ROM installed and running? How were you able to check the play store for TiBu if you have no internet or data connection? If you have a computer you can download the apk and load it into your phones storage via USB, then install it from there.

I don't have a rom installer. I haven't checked play store because I have no network connection.
I've already downloaded Titanium Backup to my computer and dragged and dropped to the cell phone. I now need something to install it with. I've searched the internet for apk installers but I'm more confused now than I ever was. I'm trying to get an apk installer I can run from Windows.

Hello??
Hmm... well if you don't have a ROM installed what good will titanium backup do? You can't run apps from recovery.

I'm not trying to recover!
I simply did a factory data reset. I forgot that I had to restore Titanium Backup in order to re-install my backed-up apps. I changed my t-mobile plan and have removed network. So, I was unable to use Play Store to download and install Titanium. I called tmobile and they gave me a day of access so I can download and install Titanium. Once I did that I didn't require downloading capabilities on my phone anymore 'cause I backed-up all my apps. I used Titanium to install these apps.
I'm trying my best to explain it but apparently I not doing a very good job.
Just load the apk onto the phone via USB (you said you did already actually) so just find the apk with a file explorer and click on it to install

When you boot your phone does it load android normally so you can use apps and stuff? If yes, then use a file explorer like astro to find and click on the apk you want to install.

For one thing Astro or any file manager isn't on te phone after a Factory Data Reset.
I just did one out of curiosity. Astro wasn't on the phone afterwards. Is there some other ay of getting it on the phone?
T-Mobile had gave me a 1 day data plan twice because of this.
I tried WiFi and it didn't work
Apparently you can't download using Google Play because it's not a secure connection.
At least that's what T-Mobile tells me.

Sorry I couldnt be of more help man...I'm trying. I just cant really understand your situation. If you did a factory reset, when you turned the phone back on did you have to log in with your gmail login etc? and you have an app drawer with the messaging app and camera app and all the basic apps? Do you have the google play store on your phone? Are you using stock android or a custom rom? are you rooted? Try going into SETTINGS>SECURITY and make sure the "unknown sources" is selected. I just really dont get why if tmobile gave you data plan for 2 days why you still couldnt use the play store?

You shouldn't need a data plan. Starbucks, McDonalds, Jiffy Lube and Denny's all have free WiFi hotspots and so do most libraries and colleges. Install Astro or whatever file manager you use (I use ES File Explorer). That said I would also use the hotspot to get Titanium.
Also have you tried adb to push the files onto your phone? Start here and here.

I used root app manager to delete youtube and now my phone only boots into fastboot I do have a backup in the manager's "recycle bin" folder. My question is, where should this app be placed? If someone could check their file browser and let me know the folder name and location it would be greatly appreciated! I've been led to believe it may be in /system/app or /system/priv-app but apparently the manager also deleted the folder or I'm looking in the wrong spot. I'm hoping that relocating the apk will solve my problem without having to reflash OOS. Thanks in advance!!
Try /system/product/app

I will try that. Thank you! Is there also a .conf file in that folder by chance? I'm gonna go ahead and put it there anyway lol. I'll update
Unfortunately it didnt work. But I did place the app in /system/system/app/YouTube/ as ther was no app folder in /system. I am running the latest 10.3 update. I might try to fix contents, but im running out of patience unless someone has another suggestion for me. Thanks again @louforgiveno

Crap, I somehow missed this response. There was a youtube app in that folder but i installed vanced through recovery. You're not using that by chance are you? Either way, I'm unable to boot. Fortunately I just updated today and my other slot will boot. Looks like I'm backing up and reinstalling. Might try a custom rom I've been so happy with OOS that I've never tried one on my 6t or the 7pro lol. Any suggestions? The stock camera is important to me fyi. Thanks again to both of you for the help!

Ah yes 10.3....sorry I'm still on pie.
By any chance have you looked in data/app? (If that path even exists anymore on 10.3)
And did you try to wipe cache/dalvik? (Maybe that would allow for boot?)
Hope you get it sorted out!

You could always try to flash gapps and see if that helps, but I can not see for the life of me how deleting YouTube would prevent the device from booting...
So I booted it up in the other slot. Seemed to be working fine, except WiFi wouldnt work. If I enabled it, it wouldn't even get to searching before it disabled itself. So i backed up with titanium (only user apps) and transfered files to the computer, and used the stock recovery to factory reset. Maybe I should've tried booting from there, but i went ahead and installed twrp, installed the latest 10.3 update i had saved from the phone (which was downloaded by OOS), and when i booted it up, WiFi is still broken Not only that, but after taking an hour to transfer my stuff back to the phone, OOS lost it on the first boot (entirely different issue, just venting at this point). So now I'm going to try the fastboot route. I found a guide from user mauronofrio that hopefully will fix everything. If anyone has any other ideas to just get the phone back to factory, I'll take them in case this doesn't work lol. Apparently Youtube is a very important system app!! :silly:
I'm finally back in business. The reason for my post was to not have to factory reset. Never thought it would've given me this much trouble (headbang) . Moral of the story.... OOS must run off of youtube app

That is not the moral of the story.
The moral is don't **** around with the /system partition. Why you didn't just use adb to disable the app is beyond me.

I could've disabled it within my regular settings. I wanted it removed so I could have a different version installed.

Rootless YouTube vanced can be installed and used alongside regular YouTube.
Yes I know. I wanted to delete YouTube. I wanted off of my device. I succeeded. The phone did not. Eventually, we will both succeed ???
