Hi,
I re-flashed my phone yesterday to the official 4.1.2 ROM (Spain), this was on Paranoid Android before, did a full wipe etc. All seems okay, rooted it, but the external SD card is read only, all files are marked as R, suspect this is also why titanium backup hangs restoring my apps. Never had any problems like this before and I can't find anything to fix this, it's driving me mad. Can anyone suggest a fix,
Thanks,
I managed to fix this with root explorer by re-mounting as r/w. titanium backup still hangs though
re-install TiBu.

not only TiBu hangs, Waze navigation cannot access SD card. no re-install helps, I've repartitioned SD, reformated, reflashed phone,
SD is not working the way it should
Hi, mines okay now following using root explorer. I installed and older version of TiBu from their website and it worked fine, this it was v 5.7 or something. Also I raised a support call and they suggested changing the app processing mode, haven't tried this as the older version worked so I'm going to stick with it.
Same problem here.
Apparently it is only in adb shell and only if I am not root. Apps and Terminal app can access without problems.

I rooted my phone to run froyo and delete seemingly useless apps. I deleted Google Talk and without it market doesnt work. I attempted to get Talk back with a system update and lost my app mgr and all other installed apps. I'm not sure if I backed up my phone properly because in recovery mode the phone says when trying to restore from nand that it cannot find the directory /sdcard/nandroid. The upside is, I have another broken screen droid eris with an untouched sd card. How do I safely swap sd cards and run the old software, do I need to unroot first? Is there an easier way to re-install google talk?
I'm not sure what system update you are talking about, but am hoping you didn't unroot it too. You can swap SD cards, that's not problem. If it was previously set up with apps2sd, then Froyo won't read it, but I feel that this is just your first time rooting, right? If so, no reason to worry. If you were using it, then you can still run the Nandroid from that SD card via Recovery, it will just give you a SD card error when you reboot (Froyo needs to have an unpartitioned card to use it properly). As far as installing Talk, you can get it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/Talk.apk - download this from your phone or via computer and drag/drop to SD card. Install another file manager like Astro/AndExplorer/Estrongs/whatever and install from SD card.
Easiest thing really is going to be just to flash a new rom or reinstall your other one. If you need to uninstall /system/apps I would recommend Titanium Backup. It will uninstall and not mess up everything else around it.
PS. Your other card will work fine too with no extra steps. Just plug and play.
Flash gapps through recovery. This will reinstall all the Google apps (like talk) on your phone.

As always, be sure to nand backup and make sure the nand is good before messing with system apps.

I just have a simple question about this how do you flash the gapps to your phone i have the same issue on Droid Eris original rom. i was dumb enough to delete gtalk i luckly had root explorer and fixed it then well i had some issues and had to do a factory restore but when i restored gtalk was gone and i cant get any file managers to put gapps back on my phone. without it i cant do anything worth while with my phone but talk. i would appreciate all the help i can get on the issue
Recently when I put APK's on my SD Card and try to install them I receive the 'Application not Installed' error. When this happens with market apps it's easy enough to unmount the SD and remount after the install. However if the APK is on the SD how can I do this?
Is there a fix for this? Also if it helps I'm running the Wildpuzzle ROM and the APK I'm trying to install at the moment is Angry Birds (getjar).
Have you try settings > application and check Unknown application.

Yeah, the application installer shows up, I just receive the error message a few seconds of the scrolling grey progress-style/working bar.
Do you have a USB Cable? Try using "DroidExplorer", an awesome PC client that can directly install apps. Or, try using a File Browser like Root Explorer or Super Manager.
Do you, by chance, have an App2SD Patch? Because I have always found them buggy!
Try to "undo" everything you did up to before it stopped working. Also try formatting your cache partition and/or erasing dalvik cache. Did you do any flashing without making a NANDROID backup first?
Also try "SuperOneClick", there is an option to "Enable Non-Market Apps" for rooted phones.
Second-last resort? Factory reset. Last resort...? Backup all your apps/settings and reflash

Thanks for this. I'm trying Droidexplorer, explorers on the device wont install the apk as it returns the same error.
How long should the installation take. It's been running 15 mins so far, the internal storage has decreased a little but the installing window (on pc) is still up?
I am assuming you have a rooted phone with unrEVOked3 right? Would you happen to have some kind of App2SD patch installed....? Because I always found them unstable.... what firmware are you using? I am loyal to Sunaabh v1.1 (Froyo) Custom Firmware as it is well supported
Hmmm I've encountered that installing loop before. But only when trying to install an APK that wouldn't normally work, such as an older version of the Market or Flash 10.1. It just means it's waiting for ADB server to do something but ADB has obviously crashed. It should not take more than 30 seconds for an APK to install via DroidExplorer. Just unplug your phone and close DroidExplorer.
Does this happen with all APK's? How many have you tried?
Only thing I can think of is that you did something to damage your package.xml data and/or permissions are corrupted.
Did you try formatting your cache partition in Clockworkmod? Please try this, it will not destroy any data. But it will trigger a long reboot - it will appear frozen at the bootup splash screen but just let it go while it rebuilds the cache.
Also try "Clear Data" under Applications > Manage > Market.
Have you flashed anything in clockworkmod? If you can provide more details of exactly what you've done to your phone that might help, but I really doubt it.... I think the only option is to restore from a Nandroid Backup or Reflash Sorry... but these things do happen and we always learn the hard way lol....
You can use the official HTC Sync software to backup your phone numbers and SMS and stuff I believe, and if you want to backup your installed apps you can use Titanium Backup or many other Backup apps on the Market, Free or Paid.
Make into a zip file and flash via recovery

Thanks for everyones help, I now have it sorted!
I started an installation through Droid explorer and then cancelled it when the apk was on the phone.
Then I unmounted my SD
Then I used root explorer to browse to the apk on the phones internal memory
It installed with no worries and I remounted the SD!

Haha, how very odd! Regardless, good to hear you got it sorted
EDIT: If it happens again, maybe you could try to format the SD card. Might be possessed with some bad stuff in the .android_secure folder or something.
Hello, I have to let you know that my knowledge over android is limited.
My (rooted) p500 was working flawlessly.
One day the music app just stopped working. I tried to uninstall it with an unistaller, and try to install it again. It wouldnt install for no reason. Just keeps "installing" and never ends.
Next step was performing full backup with the titanium backup. After that i restored the phone to the factory settings.
And here comes the major problem. Any app i try to intall Just keeps "installing" and never ends. Even from the market or just by running the apk.
I performed several restores to factory setting and it didnt help. I cleared the updates the cashe and the data from the Market app. Didnt help.
Is there any way to bring my phone back to normal?
use AppMonster to do your installs/uninstalls or Astro File Manager. I've experienced this issue with the latest version of titanium backup.
Well at this time my phone is useless. I can't install anything.
Is there a way back?

have you tried resetting to factory mode? HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER
I'll do it right now.
Well i thing holding down those keys is the same as doing it from the settings.
So yes i did it once again and nothing happened. Still cannot intall a s#!t!
oh boy... it sounds like it's time for an LG Stock ROM flash.

I'll try it also! Thank you!
If its not too late, it might be better to use a lower version ROM as that is V10L. Which I believe is NOT ROOTABLE.

I tried to do the trick but i could make it through the drivers setup. I put the phone in the emergency mode. After that, and seeing that i couldn't got it working. I restarted the phone, did a reset to factory settings. My phone at this time WAS working.
I started installing apps, but after installing 13 of them, it stuck again. From now on it's in the same situation as before, i cannot install any more.
Should i try the trick again?
Try a different sd card.
Do you have custom recovery? If not, install it. And then you can install any custom rom.

What else have you done with your phone?
My phone did something like this before when I tried to force it to directly install everything new to my memory card which was Class 2. I used some command prompt stuff I found on the internet to instruct my phone to shift to SD card.\ storage.
It would be able to install some files and I even remember Angry Birds would install to SD card even before the mod. Then it would stop and hang at the installing screen after a while.
The solution (after a week at the service center) was to get a faster memory card. That's what the guy said. My temporary fix was to install everything to the Internal Memory like it is supposed to, and move them to the SD card using Titanium Backup. But this made some apps move too slowly...

I used an unistaller to unistall the preinstalled music app because it stopped working. When i tried to install it again that was it, it hangs at the installing screen forever.
According to the sd the only thing i used the move2sd, but i didn't use it.
My sd is class 6.
Is it normal that the superuser (root) remains after recovering to the factory settings?
Should i try to reinstall the software by myself or let the lg technicians do it?
Mind-blowing (for me) update.
While using the device without the sd, the apps get installed normally!
WTF?
PS: Should i use the FAT or the FAT32 file system on my sd card?
I used another sd and it seems to work till now.
Finally.
I formatted the sd card (fat32 just as it was before) and now everything works perfect.
The only minor issue is that i cannot install the music.apk
It always fails. I like when it fails, at least it doesnt freeze.
Do you now any way i could install it, or should i get over it and use an other music app?

Yes, you could get over it and try some other app. There's plenty of them on the market. I settled for doubleTwist.

I am using Veronica's CM7 mod on my NT but I am having issues with Titanium Backup. I purchased the full version and I want to remove some of the "bloatware" that's included in the ROM. This version of CM7 came with Titanium but it didn't allow me to remove apps. I tried updating to the latest version using the market but it didn't like that either. Finally I removed in included version using Root Uninstaller. I went back into the market, grabbed the latest version, but it just crashes immediately upon opening it.
This is my first successful day tinkering with NT roms/mods, am I missing something?
I'm using the SD card version of CM7 from Team B. Titanium works fine on that version.
Did you try running fix permissions and did you restore the folder to read only after removing the bloat. Those are the only thoughts I have.

I figured it out. There was a problem with the way it was reading my SD card. I removed the card, formatted it in FAT32 (again) and plugging it back into my NT.
Now when I start up Titanium Backup the Backup/Restore tab shows and everything works like normal. Woohoo!
Good. Glad it's working now. And yes to your question.

I can't use titanium backup anymore, everytime i run the app i get this:
Code:
Error
Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *NOT* work!
Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes Busybox, and try again
This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command
I'im running HWMOD's rooted firmware, with superuser "installed and updated", and also busybox "installed and updated". there's nothing wrong, but somehow i can't run titanium backup anymore somehow.
what can be the problem be please, i've googled it and i got no solutions whatsoever!
run the app root checker.
Also from someone who has been there, i dont think titanium works with our unit. Our unit has sd1 and sd2 and sd3. Titanium will backup to sd1, which is internal memory, you can see where this is going. I did a titanium backup, then full wipe, and lost everything because it was not backed up onto sd2...

I don't have to run ROOT CHECKER because i have already other root apps and they function flawlessly (SD maid, quick boot, Busybox installer...) but i run the ROOT CHECKER anyway and it says i do have root privileges.
i forgot to mention that i already used Titanium B to backup apps and data, everything was stored on the external sd card. i could also restore. after all this app is for all android devices.

Hi
Also running HWMOD's rooted firmware and Titanium Backup works perfectly well or me. I also have an
Advent Vega and I was able to transfer my SD card from it to the Media pad and restore apps from my Titanium
Backup on it to the Media pad.

that's what makes the app perfect, BACKUP and RESTORE between different android devices.
have you updated superuser? this seems to have been the cause. Titanium Backup was working fine before I updated superuser and error message is the same as yours. currently i'm using MyBackups.
you can check HWMOD's thread for details as somone also has him about this already.

I solved it, the problem is that titaniumbackup is using the "/system/bin/su" command but the SU binaries are actualy installed in "/system/xbin/"
what i did is going to BUSYBOX and from there switching the install location to "/system/xbin/"
i tried "mybackups" but i prefer TB

I fear that my hack could led to believe that searching for the "su" binary only in predefined positions is a good thing ...
I still believe applications should gather the correct informations from the PATH environment variable, as good ol' *NIX does.
But as you said it's kind of addressed, let's hope the hack will have a story
These problems arise only if one updates the "Superuser" application past the 3.0.7 (with "su" binary 3.0.3.2).
That one version is the latest one working as expected.
And yes I am a bit sceptical about my own choice of including 3.1.3 instead of the 3.0.7 in my latest update.
The "su" binary executable alone has grown from a mere 22Kb to 380Kb and "apk" has doubled it's size too (1.5Mb).
Related to these changes in "Superuser" several applications does not work any more for many users and upgrades are needed.
The process of getting "root" privileges for any application has turned tremendously slow. From almost immediate to 2/3 secs. each time.
this solution worked for me
Since superuser is working and granting root permissions to other apps (except TB). Using root explorer, I tried renaming the original su file from /system/bin/su and replacing it (copy-paste) with the su file from /system/xbin
Reloaded TB and it worked =)
