Play Store- some apps won't install - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Running the leaked ICS.
First off I did do a bunch of research..no joy on this issue.
First issue: is that some apps disappeared after I flashed the ICS rom.
Second: when trying to download and install I get "ERROR Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" (Where's My Water) or "This device is incompatible". i just downloaded the Android Central app..it doesn't shop up in my Installed app list in Play. the app will work until I reboot the phone then the app disappears.
I've done everything I can think of, delete data in Play app, totally reformat SD card, factory restore and reinstall ICS. No fix.
I'm guessing it is the apps..not setup for ICS.
BTW: Everything worked running CM7.2 and CM9 nightly.
Any thoughts?

I get some of the same errors the one that mostly occurs for me is (ERROR: unable to process purchase) if you have any thoughts on the issue I would like to know (I only download free apps btw)

Check your Google account. Does it look like you have no Google history prior to flash? Also, see this thread:

Can't get Gapps to install on Cyanogen Mod 7

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!!!!

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.

Google Play (Market) Error: 923 and Insufficient Space

Recently did a factory reset, then rooted and unlocked.
Since then I'm getting errors downloading apps. This seems to occur only over the wireless connection, not over Wifi. I have verified that I can access the SD-card and external SD-card. have plenty of available storage space (per Settings/Storage): 2.58 GB app, 8.43 GB internal, 29.06GB SD card. Also have a good data connection per browser/weather app use!
These are the two errors I am seeing when trying to download apps from Google Play:
"App xyz" could not be downloaded due to an error. (923)
Error downloading "App xyz". There is insufficient space on the device.
Searched to find a fix, but couldn't find a good answer. Can anyone help me?
I would flash Th3bill's full wipe @ http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/th3bill/809-2/ then flash your rom.
if that doesn't work, you'll have to go back to stock sbf and see if that fixed it. if OK, root... if OK, unlock. an incremental way to isolate the issue.

Dont do a full wipe just yet... Just go to settings, manage apps, click on play store, click clear data, then reboot. This will probably fix it.

It wasn't enough to clear settings, I had to do the full wipe and installing MIUI 2.6.22 fixed it.
I appreciate your the help!!
I had error 923 on my sgs3 and clearing app data resolved it.

1. under settings/apps go to google store.
2. cache and data reset.
3. update deinstall, and akzept reset to google store basic version !
4. delete googlemail account under accounts&syncronisation.
5. go to google store app, insert googlemail account new.
google store meanwhile has updated to newest version and will keep runing fine again now ! :good:
This can sometimes happen after a fresh install and gapps tries to throw every update it has logged for you at the phone. just retry after installing what sticks. usually sorts it. many phones have this issue

This helped me after using CF- Autoroot by Chainfire, on my nexus 5. Thanks man!
Possible solution
I've ran into error 923 in Google Play.
None of the above worked, and I finally managed to fix it by deleting /data/core/zcore*.zip files (2.5GB in total).
By the looks of permissions on those files, some files could be deleted without root, but not all of them.
this video fixed the problem for me.. while it's "kind of a long video" for the 2 easy steps.. it's just the 2 steps.. 'clear cache' (not sure that helped, really?)
but the 2nd step did help.. I rolled back google play to a 'older'-orginal version.. and that fixed it

[SOLVED] Play reverted to Market, can't download apps

Hi there
I hope someone can help me or give me a pointer. The short story is that Google Play has reverted to the Android Market (v2.3.4) and I can't download anything from the Market.
The longer story is this...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, bought sim-free over a year ago, running Android 2.3.3. Yesterday I had a problem with Google Play not being able to download some apps. This was clearly wrong: I had 1.5GB free of 16GB. In the course of trying to fix this (ha!), and trying to find recovery mode, I borked the device further. Google Play reverted to Android Market v2.3.4, and some apps got messed up in random ways and consistently crashed. I uninstalled some of the crashing apps, but I still cannot download anything from the Market in order to reinstall them.
I've cleared cache and cleared data for various apps and services: Market, Download Manager, Google Play Services (odd that that's still there), Google Services Framework, and maybe some others.
The problem with the Market is that when I touch to download an app it readies itself for the download (moving diagonal lines on the progress bar) and then the progress bar disappears as if it's finished. There is no download, and certainly no install, but no error message either. On the other hand my web-based Google Play account says I've just downloaded it. And meanwhile my web-based Google Play account says there are no devices associated with my account.
Given the situation with Market, I can't even download something like MarketFixer which may help. I can sideload apks, but I can't find a (legitimate-looking) apk like MarketFixer to download.
I've never rooted my device, so I don't expect to have to do that to fix this. Before do a factory reset, does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Nik
Update: Solved in thread below
ah darn!! i thought i could help you, up until the point where you said you didn't root . If you rooted then you could just install the latest version of google play

Thanks for even thinking of that, dragid10.
Hmm... theoretically, if I routed, where would I get the latest version of Google Play from? I can't access the Market, after all.
There are a few threads in the apps forum here on XDA one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932489
I also don't think you need to be rooted to install it. Just make sure you turn on unknown sources from settings(either under applications or security)
Also have you tried uninstalling updates for the market or removing your Google account from your phone and re-adding it.
Edit:Updated thread URL original one was a closed thread.

nsmith4, thank you. That's moved me a bit forward. I couldn't find a Google Play apk, and now I've got Google Play back on my device, and the web version of Google Play knows about my device again.
(I did try to delete my Google account and it refused me. It said it was needed by some applications and should do a factory reset instead!)
So now it seems I'm back to my original problem: I (still) can't download any apps from Google Play because it says (wrongly) there's insufficient space on device. I shall keep looking for an apk of MarketFixer or similar. This problem is now the same as the one reported here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436188
although of course I cannot download MarketFix to help me fix the market.
Update: That install of Google Play didn't stick. When I rebooted the phone it took me through the Android initiation process (asked for Google username and password) and Market was back in place of Play.
Looks like a problem with factory resetting every time you restart. That is a bigger problem. Google Play will automatically update itself (all update to com.android.vending will).
Try taking the ICS update (if you haven't already), you need a fresh install of the OS. Or you can root and install a ROM. Same thing

You say you "borked the device further". The question is, what happened? What did you do, and what got borked, in what way? If you don't even know, then it will be difficult or impossible to repair. The easiest and fastest solution will be to install a fresh ROM, like Gagdude said.

gagdude, post-mortem: No, I didn't keep a careful record of what I did. The "borking" is a combination of the problems listed above. I'm going to do a factory reset and upgrade to ICS, as suggested, thanks. Will keep you posted.

[Q] Nook Tablet 16gb won't install apps

Ok I have a Nook Tablet 16gb and it will no longer install apps. It is stock ROM unrooted and a app was downloaded from the B&N market. It took a LONG time to download (large app apparently) but then it wouldn't install. It just said 'Installing" under it for several minutes and usually installing only takes a second or two. Then I got a message "Activity installer (in app installer) has stopped would you like to Wait or Force Close" I tapped force close and didn't think anything of it. But then the next day I tried to install another app and it does the same thing. Downloads fully then fails on install, although I don't get that popup again saying the activity installed stopped. I powered off and back on to no avail. I archived (removed) a few apps that were installed before but they won't reinstall either.
Any ideas what I can do? Can I fix this without wiping the whole thing? I assume if I rooted it then I could fix this? Any suggestions are appreciated.
You can try backing up all your files not backed up on the Barn and Noble cloud then preform a factory reset. Hold down the nook button when you power on your device.
All your books,apps etc are stored on your account.
Sign into your account when you reboot and all your books,apps etc will redownload.

[Q] ArchiDroid 2.2.4 cannot install GMaps anymore

Hello,
atfer i updated from ArchiDroid 2.2.3 to 2.2.4 i saw that GMaps wasnt shown in the Launcher anymore, so i checked and it isnt even installed on my device.
When i try to install it from the Play Store i get the Error Code: Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID
So i tried to flash the latest GApps package for CM but still GMaps isnt showing up.
Does anybody know how i can fix this problem?
Regards,
Fixi
Same Problem
Have got exactly the same problem using ArchiDroid V1.7.3, issue was mentioned in the Develpoment section but the only solution offered was to wait a few hours until Google Play recognises the phone.
The rom been installed for several days now & I'm still unable to install G Maps from the store due to the ID issue, short of reinstalling the rom has anybody got any thoughts?
Thanks...
Hey.
You can download inverted GMAPS directly from my github -> https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiD...system/app/com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk then put into /system/app. Otherwise make sure that there's no uninstalled junk left in /system/app and /data/app directories. You can also clear google store's data. Eventually if everything fails you can full wipe and make sure to UNTICK google maps in aroma (if you don't want inverted version), it's unticked in the default configuration.
Let me know if you have further problems.
Have fun with ArchiDroid.
All Done
Many thanks for the info Archi, worked perfectly. Love the Rom, super smooth... :victory:
