(Q) - "app" could not be downloaded due to an error.... Android market issue
I recently re flashed CM7, and after setting up my accounts (I sync two gmail accounts) I can't download apps using my main account. I get the error above. Super annoying that that is all the description given. My secondary gmail account works just fine
I've tried clearing data and cache in the market app, uninstalling the update, but it hadn't fixed it. Anyone have experience with an issue like this?
*edit- the problem somehow randomly rectified itself. All is good. Must have been a google thing or something

Guys, this worked for me w/o changing google account or wiping sd,
1.)Turnoff your phone
2.) Remove Battery
3.) Remove External Sd Card count maybe 3-5seconds
4.) put sd card back in and battery
5.) turn it on and see if you can download again
all the films and videos ive put on my phone used to show up as thumbnails in video player but now its only showing thumbs for video ive recorded on the phone . i think it may have happened since using kies but im not sure .
does anyone know how to get them back in the video player ?
now if i want to play them i have to open up my files and find the video file and open them to video player
Go to Settings-> Application Manager -> All(TAB)
Then Select Media Storage and Clear data.
Then restart the mobile.
Now it will start the media scan.
It will take few minutes.

Are you have .nomedia file on that video folder?
in video player it says " no videos "
my films etc are stored on
/mnt/extSDCard/films
Are you have .nomedia file on that film folder?
or
Copy them to any other folder and check it.

I have this problem sometimes where new files won't show up for a while. Try take a look at this app on Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner&hl=en
When I copy new media over and it doesn't register I do this:
1) Go to Settings -> App Manager -> ALL -> Gallery -> (Force Stop and Clear Cache/Data)
2) Go to Settings -> App Manager -> ALL -> Media Storage -> Clear all Data and Cache (and force stop is possible).
3) Run the Media Scan app linked above.
4) Wait 35-80 seconds
5) Reboot phone.
If that still doesnt work I try taking SD card out and then rebooting with it out and putting it back in ^^

MIUI is known for it's bloatware and there are some of us who want the best of both worlds, a simple ROM with good looks.... so here comes Titanium Backup (or any other Root Uninstaller app) to the rescue! I've tested deleting all these apps and used the ROM for quite some time without any FCs or bugs. This is the list on MIUI v6 5.1.9 (9th January 2015 Update).

only? when i used miui, i used to delete much more stuff.. tomorrow if I'll have a miui zip in front of me will post all the apk's i used to delete
as promised, this is the list of apps I used to delete when I was using miui V6 (I always manually delete the apk's from /system/app or /system/priv-app with a root file manager, namely ES File Manager, rather then freezing apps with titanium app or similar)
of course this is safe here, but some of the following may be useful for someone, so be sure what the following apks are for, before deleting them Btw in case of any problems, you can always extract the apk's you deleted from the miui zip, put them back in system/app or system/priv-app folders, correct permissions, and reboot.. easy )

If you have the root, you can also delete the browser app and the launcher without any problems
If someone updates to Miui v7 will face system advertisements in miui Music and some others apps. it is quite annoying
You are save to remove it. Follow this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-190513-1-1.html
It is safe to remove SystemAdSolution.apk file, clear cache. Reboot
Now, no more advertisement in miui music
I don't know why xiaomi try to push global users with the force to see their advertisements. May be they can earn something from that way. ?!
Analytics and MIUI SDK
You can also remove com.miui.analytics. It's also useless. The system Calculator app is also useless and has very less features. You can use another app instead. You can freeze MIUI SDK too if it has too much data. But DO NOT uninstall Miui SDK.
If you have a root browser, you can simply delete the /data/miui/app folder to get more space in internal memory. Don't worry as it has just the apks of pre-installed apps, not their data. Deleting them will not even uninstall those apps as their apks are in /data/app folder too.

Which device are you using?
Also tell the miui version. I hope it's not MIUI 7.2.3.0 - bloatware list for that is a little different because some important system apps are dependent on bloatware!!!
Did you also remove any app other than those specified in your quote?

I did it on redmi 1s @china dev rom.. Miui 7 version 6.5.26.... Which is parallel to 7.2.3, I think. I only unistalled listed ones... I tried first deleting apks from system/app folder... It didn't work, then unistalled systems apps in es Explorer... Didn't work... Then titanium Backup... It also did not work. Every time I faced boot loops.

I don't know much about the MIUI China ROM. I am using the Global ROM. After updating to this ROM, I uninstalled the following apps using Link2SD. Then using ES File Explorer, I removed the .odex files of uninstalled apps. Then rebooted to recovery, and just cleaned the /cache partition.
Assuming, that you are also not using Mi account, this is the list of apps I have removed (uninstalled) which were in my /system/app folder :-
*Analytics (AnalyticsCore.apk) - can be removed or you can disable the WakeupService.
*ANTHalService - (used for fitness accessories)
*Basic daydreams (BasicDreams.apk)
*BugReport - optional (keep it otherwise, you can't see the summary if any app stops unexpectedly)
*Calculator
*Mi Cloud (CloudService.apk)
*Email
*Black Hole (Galaxy4.apk) - live wallpaper
*Holo Spiral - live wallpaper
*Android Live Wallpaper (LiveWallpapers.apk)
*Magic Smoke - live wallpaper
*Uniplay service (MiLinkService.apk) - maybe required for Wi-Fi display connection
*Noise Field - live wallpaper
*Phase Beam - live wallpaper
*Photo screensavers (PhotoTable.apk)
*PicoTTS - text to speech engine
*Battery Saver (PowerKeeper.apk)
*Security Service Plugin (SecurityAdd.apk)
*SystemAdSolution
*XiaomiAccount (IMPORTANT: This app is required when Android boots for the first time. So if you have removed/disabled this app after you have finished setting up Android for the first time, do not factory reset or erase /data till this app is installed again.)
*Xiaomi Services Framework - DO NOT REMOVE (otherwise Phone app gets stuck in crash-loop)
/system/priv-app removed apps :-
*Cloud Backup (for apps backup to Mi account)
*Find Device - required by Mi account app (same instructions are applicable as for XiaomiAccount app above )
*mipub - purpose is unknown, removed it
*YellowPage - DO NOT REMOVE (otherwise you cannot open contact details in Contacts and Dialer app)
It is recommended that you flash the update as-it-is, then uninstall apps using Link2SD, then clean up the dalvik-cache from Link2SD and reboot phone. Then you can also delete .odex files of removed apps in /system/app and /system/priv-app folder using ES File Explorer and also delete /data/miui/app folder.
If you have some other apps in China ROM, please give the list of installed system apps and system priv-apps.

Thanks for your valuable response, I will try it for sure. You told "it is recommended to flash update as-it-is" which update? Do I need to flash something before doing it.
Please verify the steps I have to perform-
1. Using link2sd Uninstall listed apps
2. Then go to system/app in es Explorer and delete. odex file of uninstalled apps
3. Clear cache and dalvik cache by link2sd.
4. Clear Cache and dalvik cache in recovery and reboot.
I need to sign off MI account if I am using before performing these steps.
Correct me if any step I missed or messed..

No. You have gone a bit wrong.
"By 'update flashing', I meant the ROM update.zip file as it is available for download from the MI website without any apk file deleted. I just mentioned it because you said that you already tried deleting apks from the update before flashing."
The jist of the above quoted text is that : You need to have the untampered ROM to be installed on the device, that is, one in which no system APK has been removed or no system app has been uninstalled.
If you have already signed up for an Mi Account and want it to be active on your device, you must not remove the following apps.
Mi Cloud (CloudService.apk)
Mi Account (XiaomiAccount.apk)
Find device
Cloud backup - Removal of CloudBackup will stop apps from being backed up to Mi Cloud
After clearing dalvik-cache in Link2SD, you just have to clear cache in recovery, NOT the dalvik-cache again.
Aren't you using this latest MIUI China ROM?

I haven't tried MIUI 8. But maybe I can help. Check all these things :-
1. Delete unwanted apks from /system/app and /system/priv-app along with the .odex files.
2. See if any unwanted apks are also present in /data/app. Some Xiaomi and Google apps are also located in /data/miui/app which are installed after selecting phone locale. However you can delete this folder before to prevent the unwanted installation.
3. DON'T delete *XiaomiAccount.apk otherwise you can't complete phone setup.
4. When phone boots for the first time after flashing ROM, don't provide internet access. First complete the setup and check if any removed apps are installed again and then connect to internet to add accounts, .etc. because I had once noticed that missing apps are automatically downloaded and installed in the background by some hidden app in the system.
If above steps don't work, I have another tough method.
