How do I get the apps installed?

You mean the market was not installed? Or apps are failing? Give more details on what you need help with.

I'm not sure if the OP is a troll, or just stupid... How hard is it to give ACCURATE information on what you are trying to do.

Trolled. Perhaps.

Troll or not , I have had this issue when trying to update apps. I haven't really figured out what's causing apps not to load. I get "app not installed, no usb or SD card found".

Ill be vague just like the op. Here's what you do clear cache and defaults on the market.

Yeah, I've had the same problem, but usually just trying to update the app again works (at least, for me).

I get it when the download interrupts and the file is corrupted. So it can't install. I usually just redownload and its fine.

Try unmounting ur SD card, then installing. I had a problem awhile back with specific apps and that fixed it.

I am having the same problem and it is driving me insane. I have cleared cache in the market. I have rebooted, reflashed, reset to factory, Took out the SD card, put it back in, unmounted it, booted without it.
It doesn't matter what rom I flashed as I have tried several. I just restored my phone with CWM to a backup I made right after I first rooted and the market still doesn't work.

Are you rooted?? Its most likely a bad previous install that needs to be removed first which can be quite troubling because some show that they aren't installed when in actuality they are just not properly. IF YOU ARE ROOTED try using Titanium Backup Root to remove the bad install.

yeah, I am rooted. have been for a while. I have flashed and used several roms/ kernals etc. The thing is, even if I reset the phone to factory it still does it. I went into Titanium, what or how do I find a bad install?? Is there something to look for?

Possibly the ROM's included the app but have a bad install inside the ROM. I seen this issue with a couple apps specifically FLASH PLAYER. Which app are you having issues with?? When in Titanium Backup go to the Backup/Restore section and it should show all of your installed applications..scroll to see if the application you are trying to install is on the list...if so uninstall it. If this doesn't work its possible there is a previous apk file on your phone of this app which is corrupting the download which can be removed with an app like "ROOT EXPLORER" unfortunately it costs money. To do that you would venture into the system/app folder and delete the apk file if in fact there is one in there. To check to see if there is one most file explorers will allow you to go into these folders but you cannot access anything.

I have Root Explorer. Thanks. seems this is a common problem after searching google. No know solution as everyone has got theirs to work doing something different. I have not made any backups with Titanium as the roms I have used auto re-installed everything. I am wondering if it has something to do with that. Any time I flash a rom now, it says "starting download" for all my apps in the market. They never start though.

it's working now. not sure what I did though. I wiped everything and flashed BAMF remix (what I was using originally) and when I went through the setup I did everything like I did before. Only thing I changed when swapping roms was I would not set up my HTC account in the setup.

I'm not rooted (yet!) and I've been having the same problem with the market for the last two days. Probably half the apps I bought/downloaded hung on authorizing. When finally authorized it took quite a while to download and show under my apps. One took almost an hour to show up. Email notifications were also delayed. Tried clearing the cache but that didn't help...

[Q] Launcher Problems

I would like to start by saying this is entirely my fault but I would be very grateful for any help.
So, I downloaded a custom launcher called touchwiz 4.5 onto my phone and everything was working perfectly until I decided to open up root explorer and try to change the name so it would run in the background instead of TW3. So I did it but when I pressed home it asked me which launcher to use and I selected the wrong one and the set as default was checked. Now, I am stuck without a launcher so I can not open anything at all to fix the problem.
I will be extremely happy if I do not need to buy a new phone and thank anyone in advance.

Left Soft Key -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Find & select the TW4.5 launcher or whatever in the list -> scroll down to Launch by default -> Clear defaults.

Thanks, but there is one thing I forgot to mention earlier. I cannot access the main screen because I receive force close messages while the phone is on, and there is no delay between them so I cannot even use it. I was thinking maybe there is a way through the computer.

You have a root so you gave cwm recovery, correct?

Look up Odin in the Bible. You can use it to restore the phone. If you can make a backup of your micro SD onto a computer. Other than that if you deleted your launcher your phones gonna keep FCing on you. Cool thing to try to delete though.

ADB Push the apk(s) back over?

Your best bet would be to just go into CWM, create a NAND backup, Odin a new ROM, and advanced restore your NAND's data. That should clear up everything.
Using ADB is not that easy, especially when you're new to all this stuff.

Everyone should be forced to learn.basic adb commands before being able to root their phones for problems just like this.

Can't change theme on stock, unrooted FRD-L04

I have been using the EMUI Theme Editor app to modify custom themes for my Honor 8. It has always worked fine with no problems and I have been able to jump back and forth between stock and modified EMUI 5 themes, wallpapers, and fonts, until now. When I try to apply any theme (even stock EMUI) using the stock EMUI 5 Themes app, it just hangs on "applying" and I have to force close it. It WILL work if I try to apply a wallpaper, but only that. Trying to apply anything else gets stuck. Nothing on phone has changed. Already tried clearing app cache, and everything else the stock OS allows to be cleared.

So wiping cache in RECOVERY didn't work? Do u store ur themes on an SD card? What u can try is clear cache of the app, then delete the folders Hwthemes on ur internal and external storage and reboot ur phone. After that u won't have a custom theme installed and then try to apply a stock theme if it isn't applied already.
Did this happen after the B388 update?

All my custom and downloaded themes were on internal storage in the HWThemes folder, but just to be sure, I removed the external SD card. Did everything you said, even booted to recovery and cleared cache again, rebooted, and my custom theme from before was still applied and the problem still remains. I am on the B385 update version and this is the latest version for the L04 as far as I know because I'm not seeing anything new if I run the System Update app.
EDIT: I googled B388 and yes there is an update, but it's not being offered to my phone for some reason.

Yeah I didn't receive the OTA yet. Why don't u try to clear the themes app's app data using ADB. The screenshot I've attached below has the required command to do so.

Hooked up the phone, ran the command, it returned the message "success" but the problem remains. Still hangs on applying theme. When I opened the themes app the first time after running the command, it asked for permissions, so looks like it did run.

Theme is then modified in the themes editor app I mentioned in op. I am using custom navbar icons and battery icon, both of which are built in to the themes editor app and can be selected to modify and save custom version of any theme.
Also running Nova launcher with Pixel Icon Pack.
Wallpaper is from an app called Colors & Gradients.
Yeah, looks like I'm headed for a reset. Was hoping maybe there would be an OS update that would maybe update the system apps, but could be a long wait for that.

Still haven't done a full reset yet, but the B388 update is installing right now. Hoping this might fix the theme app.
EDIT: Nope, didn't fix it!

Already tried this using ADB commands. See previous post. Actually I don't think the app is the problem. I think that some part of the customized theme I am using that I made using the 3rd party theme customization app I mentioned in the op must have broken some part of the system framework.

Well the themes app itself won't let you delete it because it's the current theme. It only allows you to delete other downloaded themes in the app. I have also tried deleting everything in the HWThemes folder on the internal sd, which I can do, but the current custom theme is written into the system so no way to completely clear it without root access.

PROBLEM SOLVED
Finally did a full factory reset and it cleared the problem. After setting up the phone, I was able to change themes with no problem. Then just for laughs, I tried applying the "problem" custom theme just to see what would happen. Sure enough, it broke the themes app again! So I had to do another full reset, but now I know I was right, that the custom theme I made (actually I think it was the phone dialer skin I imported form one of those ios-like themes) was "breaking" the system framework and hanging the stock emui themes app. So now we know.
FWIW, I used the stock backup app to backup and restore all my apps with their settings, phone logs, messages, and some system settings and it worked great. Just like titanium backup on a rooted phone... well almost as good. Well done Huawei!

Suggested 5 days back for factory reset mate. Would have solved there itself

Need the stock phone manager/battery app please

So it seems I may have accidentally selected the Huawei phone manager app (with the battery profiles and other things) when batch deleting a few things... USA phone running android 7/EMUI 5. Could someone make a backup of their app and post it here?
Normally I wouldn't bother but it appears that I can't view battery stats or change an app's notification settings or exempt them from being closed while the phone is locked without this app.
Thanks.

Here it is, this is for BLN-L21C432, EMUI 5.0.1; it could be possible that it won't work, though.

Thank you but unfortunately that did not work. Trying to install it gave the error "corrupt apk" and moving it into the folder where it belongs didn't do anything at all.

Tried factory reset? It may just reset everything and bring this back, if not can go for dload method which will restore this.

Unable to create folder /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS

I've read a few posts that seem similar but nothing too recent. I'm trying to backup what I have now so I can flash another ROM but it keeps failing. I even used es file manager with root and created the folder needed and gave it root permissions but it still fails in TWRP to backup.

Thanks guys, I was wondering about if I'm decrypted or not. How do I check? It's probably a dumb question =/. I ended up installing another ROM and it uses Magisk baked into it so I don't see an option for mount namespace separation. Maybe I can attempt to backup now just to see if it works with this ROM or maybe it's not decrypted still. For some odd reason it refused to let me install Facebook, or Facebook Messenger from the play store and one of my apps won't start. It just tries to start then crashes. I downloaded a couple "updates" from a site that says they are stock ROMs. "update_full_hw_usa.zip" is 544 mb and "update" is 1.72gb. I'm thinking of going back to stock but that would probably lock the bootloader and erase twrp right?
Edit: I tried to back up again but it does the same thing. I did notice it also says "failed to unmount /DATA". It might have said that before.
Edit: I see under security the encrypt phone section. At the bottom the "Encrypt Phone" button is faded out and above it I see "Charge your battery and try again" and "Plug in your charger and try again" so I'm not too sure but guessing that means I'm not encrypted but it is faded out so maybe it is?

Go to twrp, advanced, file manager. Browse to /data/app and see if you see normal folders or randomly named folders. If the latter you are encrypted.
Same if you tap install then try to install from internal sd.

Thank you. I should have checked that before I put another ROM. I did see randomly named folders when I connect it to my laptop but I can't remember when but I bet it was in that folder. I ended up within TWRP formatting data I think but it did have my type "yes" and said it would eliminate encryption, then I installed the new ROM. I should check and see if the new ROM has encryption. So far data on the root drive isn't encrypted and data in the android folder isnt' encrypted when I check with my laptop.
Edit: It's backing up so must not be encrypted. I check using the file manager in twrp and can see all the files in data. Thanks for you help. I guess if I had sensitive info on my phone then it would be something to do but I don't have a need to encrypt.

If you did format data again now, flash the data files supplied by your rom. (Public and Hw data) else you will have problems with themes and stuff.
If you didn't format data now, disregard this message
