[Q] Can't install apps anymore(CM7) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason I can't install apps anymore. When I download apps from the market it says I don't have enough space(when I know I do) and even when it downloads I get a package error. And when I download a app from the internet it says application cannot be installed.

Reboot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and see if that helps

Try if you can copy files on your sd - maybe its mounted read only.
Shut down and restart helps on my phone - reboot does not though.

Do as Mike says and if it fails still, clear cache and data for Market and Package Installer. (You can also use a cache cleaner and wipe cache for all apps including Market but non of these apps clean package manager. You'll have to do it manually.)

Did you follow the all of the instructions when you installed CM 7 since are coming from FR008?
Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
Perform a factory reset.
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.
yeah i did that but i didnt see market or anything..

Sounds like you may have a bad download of the Google Apps. Try using this link:
http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
Try downloading straight to your phone and then flash from ClockworkMod.

I think you are confused on how to install the Google apps properly.
At step 4, you should choose install zip from SD card, then select the Cyanogenmod zip file and let it install it. Once it has finished, you should then choose install zip from SD card again and then choose the gapps zip file and let it install that. You should reboot the phone only after installing both zip files, one after the other.
You can also save yourself a lot of potential headaches by formatting the system partition before installing. You also didn't mention the dalvik cache but I'm assuming you did that as well. If it's still unclear, here's the whole process you should be following for a clean install:
1) Boot into Clockworkmod
2) Wipe data/factory reset
3) Wipe cache partition
4) Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
5) Partitions menu > format system
6) Install zip from sdcard, select Cyanogenmod zip file
7) Install zip from sdcard, select gapps zip file
8) Reboot

thanks alot i was not doing and 4 and 5...
Thanks for your direction. I have the Cyanogenmod running stably and I installed the Google Apps thereafter. Since I installed the Google Apps, my phone has been restarting after, say, 3 minutes of startup. Can you help me please.

Make sure you got the correct version of gapps for cm7. It should read something like: gapps-gb-20110503.zip.

Weird Vibrant Memory Issue

When I try to download an application from the market, it get the notice "insufficient memory" but in the settings menu, I have 1.6 GB of application space. I'm running on a JK2 Froyo ROM. Thanks for any and all answers.
unfortunately /cache has only ~25 Mb free ... that place is used for downloading apps from market
if you are rooted you can just do
adb shell
su -
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/cache/
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard/cache/ /cache/
that will use your phone storage for downloading cache
That's great, but is there any way to do it without ADB. Everytime I use it, I get really bad luck and end up with a brick even though I follow instructions to a T.
I just disable voodoo, it always works for me. I remember reading a while back in the i9000 forums that voodoo takes away some of the cache space from the market and can cause this issue.
Try wiping cache from red recovery that may do the trick.

I ran into this same issue today when trying to update google docs.
-Reboot into recovery
-wipe cache
-go to advanced
-wipe dalvik cache
-reboot (It will take longer to boot because of the dalvik wipe.)
Go back to the market, download app, rejoice.

[Flashable ZIP][FLYER] Cell Standby Remover

Some ROMs for the Wifi Flyer have several extra apps related to Phone and SMS functions. These often cause an unintended power drain in some cases as the tablet searches for a 3G radio. This shows up as 'cell standby' in power usage, even though there is no 3G radio.
You can remove Cell Standby by any one of the two methods listed below.
NOOB PROCESS (Flash zip in CWM recovery):
This works for both HC and GB roms, so flash away :
FLASHABLE ZIP FOR CWM (HC and GB):
Download MIRROR 1
Download MIRROR 2 at bottom of post. VVV
ICS custom remover zip:
Coming soon, as these are ROM specific. You can use the HC/GB zip, it will work, but some residue apps will be still left, although Cell Standby will be removed.
ADVANCED PROCESS (more control):
Requirements:
Rooted Flyer(HTC Dev or Revolutionary S-OFF)
Titanium Backup (I like its uninstaller but any good uninstaller with Root will do)
Working recovery(DooMLord or Revolutionary CWM)
Process:
Make sure you have Titanium Backup installed (if not install from Market)
Do a full Backup from Titanium(or just the below listed apps) [OPTIONAL]
Do a full Nandroid backup from your recovery(google it). [OPTIONAL]
Start uninstalling the aps in order from Titanium Backup:
APP VERSION NO. IS NOT IMPORTANT
[VOICEMAIL]Phone 2.1.xx
HtcMessage Provider 1.0.xx
Messages Widget 3.0.xx
Data Roaming 1.0.xx
SIM Toolkit 1.0.xx
Wi-Fi Hotspot 2.1.xx
Network Location 1.1.xx
[SMS/APN/MMS] Dialer Storage 2.1.xx
[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messages 1.1.xx
MessageCS 1.0.xx
Dialer 2.0.xx {Do this LAST}
After uninstalling the dialer you might get a continuous Force Close on "android.processes.acore". As you might have noticed, a reboot will not fix the FC.You will not be able to do anything else till you fix this.
Next, reboot into the bootloader (by adb or Power off and Power+Vol Down)
Go to Recovery.
Go to the menu of your recovery and wipe the cache. Reboot (Boot might take upto 2 minutes as cache will be rebuilt) back into Android and your done.
One you've rebooted, edit your build.prop parameter : ro.phone.function = 0
You don't need to wipe the dalvik cache afterwards.
Without wiping the dalvik, I kept getting the FC.

Yep To flash hasoon2000's rom, wipe your dalvik-cache (in CWM: advanced -> wipe dalvik) and wipe data and cache (main screen CWM), then flash it from sdcard. It has root and busybox. If you're already rooted and just need busybox, just wipe the cache and dalvik-cache (not your data) and flash my busybox zip.

[Q] Updating Question

Hello everyone, I have a quick question. when I turn on my Nook, it says that there is an updated for my gapps and an update for my Rom...I'd really like to update them just so I have the newest version but it doesn't seem to be working. It downloads them, then when I go to launch them it resets the Nook. It goes to a screen with several options (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about) but when I try to install the latest ROM the folder is empty. Am I doing something wrong? Is there an easier way to get it updated? Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
What are you using to download update? Are you using ROM manager or goo,PC?

I'm using Goo on my tablet to download the updates, then when it resets to actually install it, I think it's running the ROM manager.
boot in to recovery

IF your having a hard time with goo move the rom.zip and the gapps to the root of your sdcard . reboot into recovery and follow the rom instructions wipe whatever it tells you to (read first before wiping) then pick zip from sdcard first rom install then do it again with the gapps zip after that reboot you should be updated. Good luck!
OK, this is what happens. At the top of my screen it says there's an update for my gapps and rom. I download them. When I click on them from the top pull down menu, it starts the GOO manager. It says "select zip(s) to flash and whatever I have there to be updated. There's 2 options on the bottom on the screen that say "add zip from another location" or "order & flash selected". If I choose order and flash selected, at the bottom of the screen it says "wipe options" 1.wipe cache/dalvik chace partition 2.create back up (yes I have a back up program installed) and 3.wipe data (factory reset). then it says "flash". I hit flash and it wants me to confirm it.so I hit yes and my tablet reboots to "team win recovery project". If i go into install it takes me to a /emmc folder but there's nothing in there. That's when I gave up and came here...sorry if this is too much information, I just want to explain this the best way I can so I can get the tablet updated. Thanks again!

Thanks, I'll give that a try and see if it works for me. Am I supposed to wipe the card? That's the part I'm confused about the most is are the wiping options. Thanks again for the help.

The way you suggested doing it works (moving them to the root of the SD card), the only problem is, the GAPPs it wants me to use as an update isn't compatible with my version apparently so I had to reinstall the previous version. The ROM it wants me to update to is cm_acclaim_10.2.0-RCO_13OCT2013_HD_SDC.zip and I can't find it on the internet anywhere to download it. Any suggestions? Thanks again!
Edit: OK, I got it all figured out and updated. Thanks for the help!
