How exactly are you transferring them to your sd card?

Can you elaborate a little bit on exactly what happens? Do you mean the apps are uninstalled, or that they just don't appear in the launcher right away? Whenever you have apps on the SD, when you first boot it does take a few minutes for them to show up in the app drawer, since the system has to rescan the SD card and make sure everything is still there.
Same thing happened to me today. I'm rooted and was previously running one of the few 2.2 roms compatible with DL09.
In Adryn's new 2.8 thread, he stated that SC2.8 was compatible with DL09, so I decided to give it a try. I restored my apps via TB, making sure to restore "apps only" (no system data). All was well until I rebooted today in an effort to get Voodoo enabled (kept stating "enable on next reboot"). After rebooting, I now have 0 apps in my app drawer.
I re-DL'd Root Explorer to check my app drawer. Sure enough, they're all there... just not viewable or launchable in my app drawer.
I flashed via CWM (red) wiping: cache, dalvik cache, and system wipe before doing any of this, so I'm not sure where I went wrong?
Nevermind... got off easy. A simple reboot fixed my problems!

Hmm ... what launcher are you using? What ROM are you using? Just so I understand ... the icon is just gone, not turned into something different (i.e. a green and white box with an android on it - or something like that)?
If you are using Launcher Pro Plus, I had the same issue. Asks for unlock code, I put it in, says accepted, then forgets that it was input. I asked LP support about this and got this response. "You can solve this issue by using a root explorer and erasing /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher
If you are not rooted, a factory reset should work. I would recomend performing a backup prior to the reset."
I erased the file and it worked.

Hello.
When I got my new vibrant a few weeks ago, I put on nero 3 and it was blazing fast. Then I put on Nero 4 and it looked like it slowed down for some reason, then I put on another rom and it seems even slower
I just kept reflashing via clockwork recovery, without deleting the previous roms first, I just overwrited....
Someone told me to do ODIN to stock before putting another rom on your phone....well I dont know how to do ODIN to go back to 2.1.....and also if I do ODIN then I will lose unlock right?
Any help?
Ok,first backup all your contacts n payer appear if you have any, then reboot ur phone into recovery.
Use the volume rocker to scroll up n down and if you are in the red menu select voodoo lagfix with the power button then follow the menu to disable it then select go back, then install zip from sd card then scroll down and check on downloads, if you downloaded your toms to the sd the zip file. Should. Be there.
B4 reinstall delete all data and cache select go back to do this then select install zip from sd to go back n scroll down to downloads n select your rom zip then select yes n you should be done.
Now be patient let it boot n give it like15 minutes. Then reboot again to fix bugs then wait again b4 you use it otherwise it will be buggy again

Sorry, it just bothered me. Backup all of your apps. Not just the ones you paid for.
Have you checked to make sure that Voodoo was enabled? I believe there's an app in the Market called Voodoo Toggle that can help.
Also, if your phone is running slowly, there are a couple things you can try before flashing a whole new ROM. Check to see if there are any frozen services slowing up your phone. Go into Settings > Applications > Running Services and see if anything is stuck on "Restarting..." If it is, tap to stop the process and you may even want to consider freezing the service in Titanium Backup if this happens often. Another thing to do is fix permissions in ROM Manager. You will need to do one of the fixes in this thread before you run Fix Permissions. I recommend the one in post 3 because it's easiest. I do both these things when my phone slows up drastically, and it's worked every time.
You may also wish to trying clearing cache and dalvik-cache from the Recovery menu.
I have a Mac and have never been able to ODIN back to stock between flashes. My phone is still very snappy and doesn't really give me any problems.
Recently when I put APK's on my SD Card and try to install them I receive the 'Application not Installed' error. When this happens with market apps it's easy enough to unmount the SD and remount after the install. However if the APK is on the SD how can I do this?
Is there a fix for this? Also if it helps I'm running the Wildpuzzle ROM and the APK I'm trying to install at the moment is Angry Birds (getjar).
Have you try settings > application and check Unknown application.

Yeah, the application installer shows up, I just receive the error message a few seconds of the scrolling grey progress-style/working bar.
Do you have a USB Cable? Try using "DroidExplorer", an awesome PC client that can directly install apps. Or, try using a File Browser like Root Explorer or Super Manager.
Do you, by chance, have an App2SD Patch? Because I have always found them buggy!
Try to "undo" everything you did up to before it stopped working. Also try formatting your cache partition and/or erasing dalvik cache. Did you do any flashing without making a NANDROID backup first?
Also try "SuperOneClick", there is an option to "Enable Non-Market Apps" for rooted phones.
Second-last resort? Factory reset. Last resort...? Backup all your apps/settings and reflash

Thanks for this. I'm trying Droidexplorer, explorers on the device wont install the apk as it returns the same error.
How long should the installation take. It's been running 15 mins so far, the internal storage has decreased a little but the installing window (on pc) is still up?
I am assuming you have a rooted phone with unrEVOked3 right? Would you happen to have some kind of App2SD patch installed....? Because I always found them unstable.... what firmware are you using? I am loyal to Sunaabh v1.1 (Froyo) Custom Firmware as it is well supported
Hmmm I've encountered that installing loop before. But only when trying to install an APK that wouldn't normally work, such as an older version of the Market or Flash 10.1. It just means it's waiting for ADB server to do something but ADB has obviously crashed. It should not take more than 30 seconds for an APK to install via DroidExplorer. Just unplug your phone and close DroidExplorer.
Does this happen with all APK's? How many have you tried?
Only thing I can think of is that you did something to damage your package.xml data and/or permissions are corrupted.
Did you try formatting your cache partition in Clockworkmod? Please try this, it will not destroy any data. But it will trigger a long reboot - it will appear frozen at the bootup splash screen but just let it go while it rebuilds the cache.
Also try "Clear Data" under Applications > Manage > Market.
Have you flashed anything in clockworkmod? If you can provide more details of exactly what you've done to your phone that might help, but I really doubt it.... I think the only option is to restore from a Nandroid Backup or Reflash Sorry... but these things do happen and we always learn the hard way lol....
You can use the official HTC Sync software to backup your phone numbers and SMS and stuff I believe, and if you want to backup your installed apps you can use Titanium Backup or many other Backup apps on the Market, Free or Paid.
Make into a zip file and flash via recovery

Thanks for everyones help, I now have it sorted!
I started an installation through Droid explorer and then cancelled it when the apk was on the phone.
Then I unmounted my SD
Then I used root explorer to browse to the apk on the phones internal memory
It installed with no worries and I remounted the SD!

Haha, how very odd! Regardless, good to hear you got it sorted
EDIT: If it happens again, maybe you could try to format the SD card. Might be possessed with some bad stuff in the .android_secure folder or something.
So I've been happily running Calkulin/Clemsyn v.5 forever and have even talked some mates through their own installations.
While doing just that over the phone, I booted into CW to better walk this guy through the steps. I took care not to "select" any of the recovery commands, I thought, and only ran "reboot system now."
After a lengthier-than-usual boot animation, my tab opened to "force close" for every app. Info shows I still have Calk/Clem and all apps still live in my app drawer.
What's my best (shortest?) way back?
You didnt do anything wrong. The force closing is a known issue. Here is what you should have done when you first got your gtab.
1 install cwm
2 partition 2048/0
3 flash rom
You missed #2.
Thanks for your response.
Actually, I had partitioned to those parameters when originally flashing the ROM (and had even RE-partitioned at a later date while troubleshooting).
For the (Google) record, I went to CWM and wiped Dalvik cache then fixed permissions. One or both of those measures got back most functionality (with a lot of application data and system preferences missing). These I restored from Titanium backup.
I'm thinking the Fix Permissions did the trick. I read somewhere if you got FCs to run that.
Fix permissions in CW fixed the force close issue for me and many other people.
I have always used ROM Manager to do everything, but seeing that might not be the best way to do things..I have been having some other problems with restoring, and talked about it on another forum, but can't post the link here yet.
So, my nightlys said it is time to upgrade, so I am going to completely back everything up with TB, and fire it all up to dropbox. All of my system settings are 100% the way I want them... I also clicked the beta migration option in the preferences, hoping that would help me.
Step 1 - Backup all user apps + system Data
Step 2 - Sync to Dropbox
Step 3 - Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery, and do everything manually, not through ROM Manager
Step 4 - Clear cache and Dalvik
Step 5 - Run zip from SD Card
This time, it seemed like everything went as planned. When I started the phone back up, all the apps were in the same spot, and wallpaper was the same. Although, the first time, when the screen timed out, I couldn't turn it back on. Pulled the battery, and all is working fine now.
Step 6- went into TB and did a batch restore of all apps and data, but only clicked the green items. From reading somewhere else, it is only wise to do the green items, not the red, so that is what I did. Then reboot for all to take effect.
This is where I am confused. None of my data is restored. For example, I use K-9 Mail, and the settings aren't restored by the batch. But, if I go to that app, and hit the restore data, then it restores it fine. So, for me to do all my apps, the batch function isn't working, I have to go through and do 15-20 apps manually.
So, what am I doing wrong here? Why isn't the batch operation working properly for me?
Edit - Something else I noticed that didn't restore properly was any of my ring tones. Not a huge deal, but I thought might be worth mentioning in this dilemma.
So I assume you are on CM7 as you refer to nightlies.
You say that you wipe cache/dalvick cache and install. Then when you reboot all your apps are in the right place?
Then why on earth would you want restore your apps on top of the existing apps with TB? Maybe that is causing the problem. AFAIK upgrading with a nightly shouldn't touch your installed apps.
Did you check the app settings before restoring with TB?
As for the ringtones, I always had that problem when using CM7, just got used to fixing them after installing each nightly.
Hope this helps.
What version of TB are you using? I was having a similar problem doing restores on v3.9.0.1 and was having problems doing batch recovery with my SGS2. The status bar would come up but wouldn't successfully finish. I then upgraded to 4.0.0.0 and everything seems to work.. might give that a try if you're using an older version.

Yes, sorry, I am running CM7, but using the nighties.
As far as the apps, that's why I think I am doing something wrong. Last time was the first time everything was there, every other update, it was like I was starting off with a new phone. No app, no data, nothing. A brand new fresh start.
I will try it again in a few minutes and hope for the best..
Thanks for helping out with this one..

I am currently using the Pro, 4.0.2. It just seems that I have to refresh all the data for each app by themselves, but all at once won't work.
Upgrading my nightly now, so keeping my fingers crossed that it will work.
Hi:
My sister's prime froze at 98% during the .15 firmware update. She restarted and check for system updates is grayed out. She tried clearing the DMclient cache and data but those settings are grayed out as well. She did a couple of cold boots but the settings remain grayed out and she remains on .14.
I saw that alanhzl recommended using a file explorer to go into the /cache folder and delete the dlpkgfile. My sister's prime isn't rooted or unlocked. Is deleting the dlpkgfile the next best step or would you recommend other steps?
Thanks,
Tom

You can fix it without root by doing a factory reset. It's the only way I know of to clear that cache file other than root.
Hi:
Not what I wanted to hear but I'll start her on the backing up process before the factory reset.
Thanks,
Tom
Factory reset not as bad as it sounds
Hi:
Sooo, we used app dragon to generate an email list of installed apps, used the App Backup app to backup apps and data, 642mb, so we dropped a few to bring it down to 600mb, set a copy to be on the Microsd card. Copied down all of the screen settings and folder organizer contents and went for the factory reset. It worked like a charm and in no time my sister was on .15 and ICS 4.03.
The Market automatically downloaded 95% of the apps and the rest we selectively restored with App Backup restore. Note that when you choose the restore file it appears as if it's all or nothing but immediately lets you choose.
All in all a fairly painless process.

Nice work and glad it fixed it. Personally I just backup data for the few apps I care about it. Use android market to download all my paid apps, and use it as a chance to clean off crap I rarely if ever use. If I find I need it and forgot can just redownload.
