Got my G Tablet the other day and installed ClockworkMod and TNT Lite 4.4.0. I was able to get a few apps to install from the market, but most caused the launcher to force close once they hit the install phase (downloaded just fine).
I downloaded ConnectBot from the developer site and figured I would use adb to install the apk. Turns out that also causes the launcher to force close and so does putting the apk on the sdcard and using the file manager to open it with the installer.
Ideas?
[EDIT]
BTW, the symptom was that the launcher would close and I'd go back to the boot animation for a few seconds and back to the lock screen.
Update:
I rebooted and went into clockworkmod and did a factory reset. I'm now able to install everything I want except.... I was able to install Angry Birds Rio, which had been on there before the wipe. I cannot install Angry Birds or Seasons (both on there before). They both fail with unknown reason: -18.
I've wiped the cache and dalvik cache in clockworkmod as well used the fix permissions. Still cannot install those apps.
Ideas?
USB connected. Went into Master/Apps and found an Angry Birds APK file. Removed it to my laptop and then tried the install. Worked and so Did AB Seasons.
SOLVED!

Please could someone help. I have TnT lite 4.2.4 installed on my tablet. This morning I tried installing angry birds, it downloads fine but gives an error when it installs. I had previously deleted it. I tried installing from the market as well as sideloading it from an APK. Still don't want to install. Please help!

I don't know what file manager you have installed on your gtab, but I suggest to use Root Explorer or Rom Manager to do this, or install Terminal Emulator.
If you use Root Explorer or Rom Manager, when you go to these directories, change mount from r/o to r/w. If you use Terminal Emulator, make sure you are logged in as su (super user).
Check the following locations for AngryBirds files:
1) /data/data/ directory - Remove any com.rovio.angrybirds directories2) /mnt/asec/ directory - Remove any com.rovio.angrybirds directories
3) /mnt/secure/asec/ directory - verify com.rovio.angrybirds files are gone. If not, remove.
4) Go through the list of programs in Titanium Backup, and double-check to make sure you don't find Angry Birds listed anywhere (not crossed out). If you do find an entry, use Titanium Backup to uninstall.
Reboot into recovery. Wipe cache only, then restart.
Then, install Angry Birds from Android Market.
Hi
Thanks for your response. I managed to remove that file and now it installs perfectly!
You are a star!
Anry Birds still not installing
I am still having "Installation error - unknown reason -18" when trying to install Angry Birds. I cannot find any rovio files/directories using Root Explorer and Titanium backup. No "rovio" files returned when searching with Root Explorer. I am running Tnt Lite v4.40.
It was preinstalled and working on the stock ROM when I bought the tablet new from CompUSA if that makes any difference.
Any help would be appreciated.
Was hoping someone can give me some insight here because I am at a loss. I have tried countless times to get Gapps to work with Cyanogenmod 7 but the market nor any of the Google apps show up. The ROM installs fine but after flashing the Gapps package it doesnt show(yes I'm positive I'm using the right Gapps file) I have wiped everyting cache/data/dalvik, tried using the format.zip and nvflash to start with a fresh tab, that didn't work. I've tried installing Cyanogen 6 first, but for some reason that just results in a boot loop. If anyone has this problem or knows what the probelm could be it would be greatly helpful.
Thanks in advance for any help
After booting are you connecting to your WiFi access point?
Market doesn't show until you are connected to WiFi, then it will install the apps directly from the Market.
Yup Ive connected to WIFI, let the ROM run for a bit, restarted countless times. I just cant figure it out. I dont get the account setup screen either, it just goes straight into the ROM itself.
And after you connected to your WiFi did you open the app drawer and click on the Market to launch it?
At this point it should ask for your Google account, ask what Gapps from the market you want installed and then do it.
Thats the problem, the market icon doesnt exist for me to open, none of the google apps show up even though it installed successfully in clockwork.
None of the google apps will show up, though Market should, if you installed the Gapps package and are connected to WiFi.
The Gapps.zip just installs the Market and some of the supporting/needed libraries and files for accessing the Market (plus some other stuff).
Connected to WiFi, launching the Market initializes the Google sign in and the "other stuff" that lets you pick the Google Apps you want installed. It then downloads them from the Market itself.
EDIT:
What version of CM7 are you running and what Gapps package are you installing?

I installed 7.0.3 stable with the 20110307 gapps package.
I'm telling you nothing comes up to install market or any other google apps. I must have installed the ROM about 30 times now. Probably gonna end up being something stupid I'm leaving out.
Have both the Rom and Gapps on your device.
Boot in to Clockworkmod Recovery and do a factory reset, then advanced and wipe davlik cache
Install .zip from sdcard, choose the ROM and install, do NOT reboot.
Install .zip from sdcard, choose the Gapps and install
ReBoot device, connect to WiFi before doing anything else.
Market should appear when you open the app drawer. Launch it to continue.
It's been a while......but I walked my sister through it via email a few weeks ago back...

Ive tried this, it either results in a bootloop or just doesn't work but I'll give it another shot when I get home. Thanks
Try flashing a different rom along with gapps see if that works. If it does then reflash your CM7 rom along with gapps & retest, hopefully it works, if it doesn't maybe trying one of the nightly builds might work.
Did you pull the gapps file from the Cynogenmod website?
Gapps link: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
Getting same thing my self, so don't feel alone.
I am in the same boat. Have gone so far as to do a full NVFlash restore. Gapps will not show. Appears to install without error via recovery but it just isn't there. ARRRRRRRGH!!!!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The fix....eject any microSD cards you have in your device. Plug in usb. Copy update.zip to root. Enter CWM and flash update.zip. Since Cyanogen Mod messes up file structure for some reason external SD card becomes internal and tweaks the device out. If that does not work, nvflash and reinstall CM without an sd card in the device. Hope this helps.
Thanks fosser2...
What I did,
Pulled SD card
Loaded CWM update.zip and recovery folder/file
NVflashed as I was back running V5.1 again.
Vol + power to flash CWM
use CWM to flash CMod 7.0.3
then flashed Gapps
When Cmod loads, I now see the google account and ability to install all the gapps.
Thanks again, Now I can give this rom a spin. I really like Robeets HC, but it was not stable enough for everyday yet. V5.1 has bee running great, but the Netflix on GB brought me to GB.
Having same issue
I keep trying to install google apps but the market, gmail, etc, are not appearing on my screen. Not sure what I am doing wrong but I am having the exact same problem.

Gapps helped me THX
p4wifi
cm-10.1-20130129-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip
gapps-jb-20130121-P75xx.zip
Hello,
I have the same problem as described by Fire_cat and I did the same steps to overcome it. I did research the forum to try to get a better understanding of this issue, to no avail. I also experience the same problem with CM9 and CM10 with appropriate gapps for these versions.
I disabled goo applications and was able to install one app successfully Rom Toolbox Pro after which the problem started all over again.
This strange behavior appeared 6 days after me first rooting and flashing CM10.1. Strange because it happened overnight when the day before everything was smooth.
Whenever I load Play Store, install or update an app, it will download it and when it hit 100%, the tablet (P4wifi) crash and I can see the CM Logo for a minute. As said, I cleared all cache and data multiple times, fixed permission before and after.
Thanks for your help
N
Just a quick update.
Las night, I started over but this time using the gapps-jb-20121207-wingray-signed.zip someone suggested might help.
It was unstable untill I disabled all google apps, launched Play Store, downloaded Opera and then rebooted to the CM logo.
I also tracked this post describing the problem on the Nightly discussions :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37335696&postcount=765
EDIT:
I started all over again, this time using the last gapps-jb-20130129-P75xx.zip, Still as soon as I log into my Google Account when first booting the tablet, it systematicaly crash. Gmail is acting normaly. Any attemp to download an app will reboot the tablet. Some random crash.
For the sake of it, I tried with a different google account. Same problem.
And how to solve the damn reboot problem
I was finally able to restore to a functional CM10.1 with latest Gapps and install apps from Play Store without crash!
I was unable to connect the tablet to my mac or pc using Debug options.
On my mac through DDMS, I was able to access the file system but not to completely browse it.
So I decided to navigate the file system on CWM to see what it looked like. I noticed that the file architecture was very wrong; In /sdcard was and other /0 with inside an other /0, so the file system was repeating itself as many time as I tried to install CM10, CM9 and CM10.1 without never formating /system.
Here's what I did to get a stable tablet:
1) Use odin to flash the latest CWM (Choose yours on droid basement(cant post link))
2) Reboot in recovery
3) Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache and Data
4) Format /System
5) Reboot, put tablet in debug mode, drop latest Nightly and latest Gapps
6) Reboot in recovery and install both from sdcard (no more recurent directory showing)
7) Reboot and get a stable tablet.
Voilà
I'll try to help if you encounter a similar problem. I come from the iOS world so I'm not that much experienced with droid.
hi,
long story short i ended up with angry birds partially installed on my system. Titanium backup pro is not able to restore the application(hangs on restore), when i try to side-load the app im getting Application Not Installed error. When i try to install it via market, im getting incompatible update error. Angry birds is nowhere to be found in the system(root) folder and also i cant see it in "installed apps".
I tried to unmount SDcard(SW and also in real life), remove everything with ROVIO or ANGRY from root, wiped dalvik and cache partition.
So i was wondering, where does the system store installed application list?
Is there any way how to force install the apk?
I have found 2 possible solutions, modifying Androidmanifest.xml of the apk or loading the apk with package installer. will any of those help?(i wont have access for PC for several hours).
thanks.
I have a Huawei X1 (U810) which I recently rooted and after deleting all the bloatware and a really old version of facebook, I installed version 1.9 by apk, I uninstalled it yesterday trying to install the latest version from Google play, but now I get this problem...
Google Play Store starts installing it and the phone just restarts it self every time, and just for the facebook app, no problem with any other apps, I tied to install version 1.9 again by apk and same problem.
I've tried to push the apk using cmd and abd install command same thing happens, I formatted the cache and misc partitions and same problem, is there any file I need to delete, or what...
I don't feel like doing a factory reset, and if I did would that fix it?
