So, I've been unable to find any threads on this so I don't know if this is a common problem or not. My phone is rooted but I'm not quite sure if I'm using a mod, if I am it's a clockwork mod or something, I honestly don't remember what I used to mod it cause it was months ago. Anyways, I'm having problems downloading certain applications from the Google Store. It downloads it then when it's about to install it gives me an Error saying, "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" and it only does this with certain apps, I'm able to download and install or update a lot of applications but it only does this to certain apps, I've tried turning my phone on and off, that does nothing, I would turn off my phone and take everything out but I'm not quite sure if that would work either.
I was wondering if there's a solution to this because I'm trying to download a new theme for my GO Launcher EX and it keeps telling me I cannot download it, it's done it to games that I've had before too, it's really weird.
Glad to know that none of you can help me.

Try creating the symlink for cache\download folder on your system partition
How might I do that?

copy apk file to your phone
grab apps installer from the market
browse to apk and install it
Or if you rather, if you have adb:
adb devices {to insure you're seeing phone }
adb install <packagename>.apk {this will install to phone so long as your in usb debugging mode}
g'luck

if your rooted already, DO THIS.
Search market for OCLF, its caled ryanzky's lag fix or something
you MUST have over 40 percent on battery to apply lagfix, then go see the aviable options (green ones) and click apply ext4 tools or soemthing
then apply the lagfix with binds or something like that.
its the easiest way.
also when you do the lagfix, it WILL take about 4 minutes, because its moving data and all, so yeah.
well i figured out how to install it... problem is that it says i have another lag fix already on my phone (which is voodoo i assume) even though i disabled it and deleted the folder... guess i'll have to do a complete wipe of memory and cached memory... at least i have titanium pro!
Same. Thought I would experiment with it. States I have a lag fix and references a playlogo file.
Guess it's time to Google
All done/fixed.... all I had to do was click on the restore boot animation
rebooted and then flashed the v2+ LF.
Pretty painless and a good (yet pointless quadrant score) if around 1900.
ok, hopefully someone can help me. I recently flashed sbf and installed Kenneth's GreyBlur. Love it and it works great, except somewhere in the middle of that process i lost my "alarms and timer" app that was built in. Not sure if it was taken out because there is an alarm built into the "clock" but i do not really like that alarm because it wont let me select a different alarm thats not built into the phone. it almost gave me a heart attack this morning.
anyway, if there is a way to get this back or a zip or apk i can install that would be great.
(I would post this in the greyblur thread but i cant because i do not have enough posts)
thanks

thanks i appreciate the files. i downloaded them and extracted it to my sd card. tried to install the apk for the bluralarmclock and it goes through the installation and says "application not installed"
ive never really had anything fail like that before. am i installing it wrong?
I pulled this .apk off my Atrix just now. Try it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8262767/BlurAlarmClock.apk
ok i tried installing that one and get the same message. just to make sure it wasnt happening for everything, i had some apk's on my sd card that i just installed fine, went back to the alarm and still wont install. went through the bloatware folder and tried to install random files and it wont do it either...
im new to android so of course im stumped on what to do next
thanks for your help btw. im wondering if its the greyblur?
Well if your only complaint is that your missing the alarm clock maybe you will like one from the market just as much or more.? I use http://goo.gl/LTd3z, you can configure it to ask you math questions on alarm. The link is to the free version and there is a premium version in the market, as well as a bunch of other free/paid alarm clocks.
if you put an mp3 into the media folder you can use that as your alarm tone

I thought you had to use CWM with that zip, you couldn't install stuff manually.

Put the apk in /system/app and set correct permission, using root explorer. the permissions should match the other files in the app directory.
then reboot.

ok took your suggestion. downloaded root explorer and i cant select r/w in system folder and of course cant copy any files over because its "read only."
ive researched similar issues online and see people have had this issue but the threads i found no one ever seems to say if they got it resolved or not. some people are saying its not rooted but my other rooted apps work fine.
I remember having this issue since ICS and on multiple devices running different ROMs.
What gives? I know the solution is to clear out the Download history and it still works. Just annoying that I have to do that... Does Google know about this issue??
You can also try using a browser like Opera, that helps me. But yeah it really is annoying it also happens to me both on GB and ICS

To be able to download certain files, you must first have an application that can run the file. If you don't have the ablity to run the file it will refuse to download, giving the download unsuccessful message.
What you say may be true. But the files I download are definitely openable. Yet they still don't download successfully until after multiple attempts or clearing the cache.

Hello everyone -- First post
I don't know if this will help, but i tell you what i experienced yesterday. I have both a HP Touchpad 32GB Wifi only and a Samsung Fascinate. I have the problem with both of them for months now. I can install anything i want from Google Play, but can not down load any other files, both from emails and websites. I can write to it with Window XP Pro machine.
Two days ago i was messing around with my Touchpad dual boot WebOS/CM7 and wreck it. Wouldn't reboot, couldn't run WebOS doctor on it or any thing. I thought it was bricked. Then i ran across a forum how to delete the volume manually and recreate them. Then install back to factory original.
Last night i got it back to 3.0.5 and installed CM9 tenderloin nightly 20121028 dual boot. First think i did was go to a website to down load a PDF file to see if this fix my download problem. File downloaded, i tried opening it, said no file associate. Jump into Google Market , installed reader, open the file, no problem. I started checking with ROM Manager for any nightly updates. There was one and i started downloading it, and moved on to installing Titanium Backup plus Root. Few minutes after dubbing around, checking CM9.I noticed that it had a download error. SO i jumped on to another website to download another file. Immediately <Untitled> Download Unsuccessful. Here we go again. Switch over to Google Market, Titanium Backup plus Root finished installing.
I remove it and root. Check to see if it fixed the problem. NOPE! still no downloading. This morning at work during break, I wiped CM9 out with ACMEUnistaller, and started over. Same install as before. No problem downloading any files so far, but i have not reinstalled Titanium Backup plus Root. I will install it tonight just to be sure and redo my Samsung Fascinate to see if i can reproduces the same results there with CM10.
Can someone else that is having the same problem confirm with their system and see if they get same result?
Not so
Sorry guys, I just reinstalled Titanium Backup plus and can not repeat it. I'll keep checking with everything that I install and any settings I change
You may have better luck with the Touchpad forum.

Its not just my touchpad that is having the same issue. My Samsung fascinate have the issue and it has CM10 nightly. I've search many forum site for this problem. There are many other that are having the issue with all different devices and ROM's. I
I'm currently trying to repeat on touchpad because if i mess this unit up it won't be a big deal for me. I have got it down 25 minutes or ever less removing the CM and reload it. Not so fast for me on the Samsung. So far unsuccessful repeating it. Going to try repairing Fascinate and on it.
You think this should be moved to another thread? If so please let me know.
Thanks in advance
FYI, if you change the name of the original Download folder to, say Download_old, then try the download again, it will create a new folder and download to that one. weirdly, the folder permissions are exactly the same for both folders after (rwxrwxr-x)
Hey guys, I'm using the LG Optimus F6 (or D500). I rooted it today and started playing around, and now when I try installing any apk file I get an error saying "[app name] could not be installed. Free up some space and try again", however I have more than enough space on both internal and SD. I have no idea what's going on, and if anyone knows about this I'd thank you forever.
I'm going to list everything I did after rooting just in case it means anything:
Moved a few apps to SD and uninstalled bloatware
Tried to move chrome browser to sd by converting it to user app, and then it disappeared and I can't download it to the market due to "insufficient space"
Changed the boot animation in ROM Toolbox (which didn't work)
I'm not sure what caused it, but the issue appeared after I messed around with chrome with seems like a terrible idea cause I didn't really know very well what I was doing. Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix it? Thank you so much!
What do you mean disappeared? The file must still be there, use es file explorer and search for it.
Otherwise you'll need to flash the kdz for your phone.

I have flashed the Candy5 rom a few times, but I am not able to get the facebook app to install. I have tried serveral Gapps. Is this a common thing or is there something I can do to fix this?
I posted in the Candy5 rom thread a few times, but I am unable to post there again because I have less than 10 posts?
I understand the work around to this problem could be, do without the facebook app and just login using a web browser. I just want to know if this is a common problem among flashing new/custom roms?
Seems like I was finally able to get the facebook app to install. It hung up on install but I just waited and waited and it finally successfully installed this time. We shall see if it fails to update/install in the future.
Well It won't let me move it to the sd card, and now I am stuck trying to re-install it again. Anyone else have this problem?

Have you tried converting it to a user app using titanium backup? Not sure if this would help. These new roms are just beginning to become stable though so expect some bugs in the lollipops until the devs have a chance to perfect them. Is there a particular reason you need to have it on sd card?

I am not sure about converting to a user app with titanium backup. I would like to move it to the sd card to save some space, but when apps get moved there, they seem to disappear sometimes and they don't like to update. The facebook app is the worst. It doesn't want to install and if you get it installed it doesn't want to update. Thanks for your reply.
I have not had any issues installing Facebook so in bit sure what to say. Is your device telling you that's it's out of space?

No, it just takes a long time downloading and then it says it is installing, but it doesn't install. I think a couple of times it might have said error 904, but I am not certain.
I do have it installed after many attempts, but it says it needs updated, and it goes back to the downloading & installing, but failing. Some of my other apps seem to disappear from my home screen and I have to drag them back out again and some apps disappeared and I had to reinstall them.
I did a fresh flash, wiped dalvik cache/cache/system/ before I flashed the v3.6 with the 09/09/15 gapps. Should I restore it to an earlier backup and update/flash through the Candy OTA instead?
I could try uninstalling the facebook app and try to reinstall it, but I am worried that might not work because this has happened to me on earlier roms too. Also crashes when I open a website link or youtube video in the facebook app.
I uninstalled the Facebook app then reinstalled it, but it appeared to hang up on install again. I shut down my device and waited for a minute or two and then turned it back on. While booting, it said Candy5 is optimizing Facebook app. Now the google play store shows the app is up to date.
I then tried opening a YouTube link from Facebook and it crashed to the home screen. Sometimes it shows the Samsung loading screen briefly, only with the Facebook app. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure which gapps you're using but maybe try another version. Make sure they are small or Pico gapps 5.1 version. Not the old 5.0
I am using the mini gapps from the op link.
Should I wipe internal & external SD cards also and flash again? When I wipe in twrp, I go to advanced wipe, dalvik cache/cache/system/data. I usually repeat that a few times before flashing the ROM.
I think my problem was due to file conflicts. I also had my original jellybean installed in twrp recovery backups and maybe the two different versions caused a conflict? I wiped everything and am now able to install facebook and move it to my sd card.
This is what I was worried about. It happened again during an update. Do I need to keep flashing gapps updates?
I just updated gapps to the 09/17/15 version and got this error now. I know I have plenty of space.
I was able to get the Facebook app installed again. I had to uninstall some apps and music to make space, which doesn't make sense because my 29 GB SD card was not even close to being full.
I am on Candy 9-08 build. I can install Facebook but can't update or move it to SD card. So if there is a new version, I have to uninstall and reinstall from the playstore. This usually takes a while and requires a reboot.
It probably something to do with the Facebook app. It used to work fine but stopped working a few months ago for me. I was on the 3-16 build of Candy for a while.

What I have to do to get installed is going to play store, initiate the download and install. When it's sat there for a little bit, reboot the phone.
