Facebook is a huge application, as such I've had it installed in /system for a while now, however last night I decided I would upgrade to Facebook 2.0, when moving it to system the app force closes upon start.
I've tried totally uninstalling/reinstalling it, clearing data/cache/dalvik to no avail, any pointers? or is this simply how it is now?

When updating have you done like this .. such as delete the existing one from /system. Went to Play Store, downloaded the new version and placed the apk in /system deleting the original apk wherever it got installed.
And whats the use installing Facebook as a System app. Either case, it consumes your internal memory.

I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum...
Ok, here goes: Using a Moto DX2, running GB 2.3.3, Rooted but w/stock ROM, Android Market v3.1.5
I have several "free" apps that appear under My Apps at the end of the list under the "Not Installed" heading. These are bloat apps I uninstalled using TIBU. How can I stop them from showing up as not installed? I've cleared the cache and data for the Market numerous times and even reverted back to an older Market which then self updates back to 3.1.5.
Also, when I visit the market from my Windows PC, under My Apps, it shows a handful of apps as being installed that are not on the phone - some never were and some were but we uninstalled - some of them are the bloat and some are apps I tried out and did not like and uninstalled. How do I get this to reflect what is actually installed on the phone?
Thanks.
[UPDATE] I installed the 3.2.0 version of the Market and the issue is the same as the 3.1.5 version.
my idiot market so like to “downloading......” and never start，2.x or 3.0.x also like than ，I am really angry！！！
I might have accidentally stumbled upon the solution myself. I read some where to try clearing the google services framework cache so I tried it and after rebooting, the market app no longer showed those apps as not installed - they were totally gone off the list just like I wanted. Now the Android Market Web issue is still the same, but I think that's an issue w/the site and not my Moto DX2. I also cleared the market cache at the same time before rebooting my phone - prior attemps at just clearing the market cache alone had no effect.
Can anyone help me please; when I'm trying to install an app that I've previously uninstalled (because it didn't work), I'm getting error that I don't have enough space, altough I have more than 3 GB of free space. I've tried to boot CWM, wiped dalvik cache & fix the permissions, but that didn't helped.
New applications I can install with no issues, only old apps are bugging me.

What app is it? If it is a system app, that'd mean you'll have to push the apk
It's not the system app... First app is AfterFocus, second is game called Patchworkz. I tried to install older version, newest version but it just wont install...
Hey guys!
After having some issues with the Netflix app of all the things, followed by low memory, Link2SD and a boot loop (which probably was cause by low memory) I managed to make the phone boot up again by diving into recovery (some CWM version by AlphaRev) and then wiping out cache data. When the phone finally booted up, which took unusually long time, I was missing a lot of apps and got some app crash warnings.
One of the missing apps was the Link2SD itself, and as a consequence (I guess), many of the other apps were missing for this reason (at least those that were linked to the SD card as opposed to installed there by default).
One of the warnings that popped up was one about Google Services Framework.
The application Google Services Framework has stopped working (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Another one was about Facebook.

There were several different app crashes in a row, like on a production line. I was unable to see the names of them all.
I went into app management, cleared caches and uninstalled several apps. I rebooted, booted up (slowly again), I got back some of the app icons that were missing (which is weird) and I was able to launch them. But some apps were still missing, among them Link2SD.
I grabbed an APK file for some older version of Link2SD on my computer, plugged in the phone, launched a command prompt and tried installing it with ADB. It reported insufficient storage space. I checked it and it said like 1.80 MB free internal memory. So I uninstalled some more apps and tried again and it was a success.
After installing Link2SD I launched it and then chose to clean up Dalvik cache, clean up 2nd partition, and then "relink library files". I tried the "recreate mount scripts" but it kept on failing.
Mount script cannot be created. failed

Right now I have Gmail, and I have the Search. I don't think I have any other Google app (except for maybe some background services). I only have a broken Play Store icon/link on the home page.
How can I check and verify that Google Services Framework is installed and working? And if it's not, how do I repair or reinstall it?
What I have tried so far:
I tried grabbing an APK file for Google Services Framework from another thread here at XDA and installing it manually with ADB. It was a no go. This is the message I got.
INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK

What does this mean?
I read in another thread here at XDA that one user was unable to make phone calls after uninstalling this service by mistake. I tried this and I was able to place a call. Does that mean that Services Framework is Okay?

Update:
I just grabbed and manually installed Playstore v4.0.27.apk successfully using ADB. But if I try to launch it I get a "sorry" message.
The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I can only force close it.
I need a way to either install apps right on the phone (Play Store), or a way to grab APK files for the apps I want to install (like backup apps) and install them manually, because there is still some personal data on the phone that needs to be saved before I pull the plug and flash the entire phone.
Did you find a solution for this?
I have the same issue with my phone for about almost a week. I didnt know that google service framework was a big issue and a built in program. I accidentally deleted it same with my google play store with my rooted device. When I reformat my phone it keeps telling or it keeps showing com.google.process.gapps is not working. Pls help me fix this kind of issue im dealing with
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?
Device: Samsung SCH-i509
Android Ver: 2.3.6
Rooeted: Yes
Internal Memory: 160MB
Ext memory: 2GB microSD partitioned as: 1st Partition: 1455MB FAT, Second Partition: 515 EXT2 (I am using Link2SD for linking apps to SD card)
Superuser App: SuperSU
Rom Management: RomToolBox lite
I rooted my phone about a fortnight ago, first time rooting, things went fine, and apps were responsive.
2 days back I not only uninstalled the Google Play Store updates but also uninstalled the app, hoping I would install the latest google store APK from Android Police ( Ver: com.android.vending-4.8.22.apk )
I am new to rooting and installing apks, so after installing the above mentioned Google Play Store apk to the SD card and finding it was not responsive (I was getting a blank screen and an error message shortly thereafter which disappeared instantaneously for me to note what it said). I googled and found on a forum, (sorry don't recall which one) that the APK needs to be copied to the system/app folder and any previous apk of Google Play Store needs to be replaced. So using Root Browser in ROMToolBox I copied the apk to system/app.
Doing so did open the 'first run' of Google Play Store, as in I was prompted to allow permission via google account and opened the interface with my apps etc normally. But trouble started when I tried to update the apps. The moment I do that, I get the downloading bar AND then I get the force close screen. The same would happen in the case if I try to download any apps.
I froze the Google Play Store app through ROMToolBox App Manager.
On doing a search on XDA forums before I posted here I came across: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129881
And did as suggested in this thread: went to the system/app folder through Root Browser and set permission to rw-r--r-- as suggested there.
UNFORTUNATELY things are the same as before: once the app fires up either by clicking on a Google Play Store linked ad or by just opening it, I am back to force close screen.
I would be really thankful if someone could help me out on this.
Also, I am not quite sure how much it makes a difference I was using Link2SD to link all user apps to SD card (I uninstalled this app as well hoping to install the latest version)
You rebooted after changing the apk permissions, right? Also perhaps try force stopping the plays store, wiping the app data then reboot.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I had rebooted and clear app data but the app was still unresponsive/
The issue resolved when I downloaded an older version of the Google Play Store app and installed it in the sys/app folder after removing the previous one, reconfigured the permissions and rebooted. things are working fine now.
Cheers, have a great weekend!
