I am wondering if anyone else has had problems installing programs from the Play Store and getting error code -24?
I figured out an annoying fix after trying to wipe davl, data, etc., to no avail...
I have to download and install Root Explorer (which thankfully didn't give me the error message), then I had to delete individual program folders that persisted even after a full wipe of the devise. I deleted these files from the /Data/Data folder which contains hundreds of these folders.
Does anyone have a better way to permanently delete these files rather than going in an removing them one at a time?
I've had this problem both on Stock Rooted NC5 and on Galaxy Note fre3 Hybrid De[Odex] v2.14 -BeastMode Kernel

It's happened to me a couple of times in the last few weeks... Typically happens when I click through on the computer to install the app on my phone. When this happens, if I try again, but from the phone play store, it didn't happen. I don't know why that worked, but it did for the few times I've gotten the error.
I also found this thread, where they talk about common play store error codes. It gives the same solution you had, and they attribute it to the ART, which fre3 doesn't have (although, they have added ART support for future implementation).
I hope more information comes to light about this.

This happened after I flashed VillainROM 3.0. Now I'm unable to download or update any apps via Market, it would give "Error downloading app_name. Please try again at a later time." . Sometimes I can install them from the web, but NEVER through the phone. There are also discrepencies, e.g I have Astro uninstalled, the market app says I don't have it installed (but I can't download), but on the web it says I have it installed and I can't install it again.
I have tried clearing caches of everything relevant and irrelevant, flashing different roms, even restoring CWM backup and titanium backup, nothing seems to help. I have deleted .android_secure folders, but I can't find any smdl2tmp1.asec files anywhere. Some of my apps just show up as grey icons, but some I'm able to see them and use them. Clicking on the grey icons would just crash TouchWiz. I look into Applications under settings and I see lots of "com.app_name.something_else" I tried deleting those but it doesn't seem to help.
I'm at my wits end and am really considering getting a new SGS2 if this doesn't get fixed I would really appreciate any help

Already tried that, even on stock roms the problem is still there.
I'm interested to gain information on how to remove system files on the galaxy tab 10.1 T-Mobile edition.
How do you do it properly?
Recently I had seen that pdroid has been ported to ICS and is available through botbrew. wasn't able to get that package to show. Decided to try botbrew Basil a try as the packages seemed more interesting. Ended up going through the list and ended up installing a couple gigs worth. I bit off more than I could chew as I'm still unsure how to make things functional. The removal and force removal of packages cause the app to error when continuing. Any info on the proper order to remove them?
Also tried to remove the files by a root file manager. All that did was make the tab unusable IMO. Reflashed stock via odin-files still there. Data/cache wipe and the files were still there/are still there.
I would like to regain storage space. And then retry botbrew at a slower pace without actually jumping in.
Try posting in this thread... You may get better help there.

This has been bothering me lately. When I open my Instagram (using xperia ray latest Gingerbread stock ROM), and go to "Photo Maps", a dialog box appears saying "Photo Maps requires that the Google Maps Android API is installed on your device
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Google Maps and Instagram, I restarted my device too. But it doesnt solve the problem.
I tried checking /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar , I thought I lost this file but the file is there..
This is a rare problem and I only found 2 search results on Google about this problem, and both were found on XDA forum. One had his problem solved by placing this .jar file there. The other one tried placing the .jar file but no luck.
It's bothering me. Because I think it will affect other application that uses google maps. But I'm not sure. And I don't want to reinstall the whole ROM because I have partitioned my SD card, put many stuff in it, I dont want to start it all over just because of this small problem.
Thank you very much in advanced.
I am having the same problem, but it has caused me to realize that I cannot download most things that have a main function that utilises the gmaps API... I'm running a CM9 fork, though, so I expect that to be the cause. Furthermore, I tried to replace the files and gapps installation through recovery, it yields no changes. I see no new files, which is odd imo... Placing the JAR through a file manager and rebooting doesn't change anything for me either. Would love a followup because I too have seen the threads Fun is talking about but I have also seen at least a dozen on here that have gone unanswered
yes. Someone has to got to have the solution. So bump.
bump... i guess? I havent been able to fix this. Althoug a simple flash will fix this, I'm curious that we can fix this.
Still having this issue myself.
Running CM10.1 on my Galaxy SII (i9100P), although its not just with my current ROM that I'm having the issue. Tried refladhing ROMs and GAPPS but no joy. Countless data/cache wipes have done notjing to fix it. Also tried the.jar solution but did nothing.
Really annoys me that I can't find a solution.
No one any ideas on what this could be?
I've searched EVERYWHERE and I just can't seem to restore my phones keyboard.
I have an AT&T Fusion, AKA the Huawei U8652, and I successfully rooted it.
I currently have an iPhone 4S, so I was trying to use the Fusion as a sort of Android "iPod", so I downloaded a Terminal Emulator and started deleting unnecessary applications and bloatware, and any phone-related apks (and another type of file that I cannot remember), since I figured I wouldn't need them.
I deleted these apps from the System folder, which usually is read-only, but I gave myself temporary RW access via the command:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4/system
which allowed me to delete apps, and after deleting a few, my keyboard disappeared. I believe there was a pop-up about Google Services Framework crashing, but I had that happen prior to losing the keyboard after I deleted an app, and nothing seemed wrong.
I reset the phone to factory default to try and get the keyboard back, but nothing changed.
Now I'm on the activation screen, and clicking the Android does nothing, nor does clicking emergency dial, so there is no way I can bypass the activation screen via dialing numbers.
Since I reset the phone to factory default, I think I lost my root-access, so when I try to install a custom recovery image, the phone isn't recognized, and I cannot access the phone to enable USB-debugging so I can root the phone again.
I've gone into the recovery menu and deleted the cache, and data, and did a few factory resets, and nothing has changed.
Is there ANYTHING I can do? I believe I was on 2.3.5, so is there like a stock ROM I can download that I can install via the regular recovery menu?
The worst part about this is I only tried deleting the bloatware because I couldn't figure out how to install a custom ROM, but while looking for solutions to this problem, I figured out how to install custom ROMs on my phone...
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
EDIT: I tried to install a supposed stock ROM on it, but it acts as if I'm installing a custom ROM, giving me a verification error, which leads me to believe its not a stock ROM. Is there anyway I could download the stock firmware and install it on my device as to restore the missing files? Also, would I need a valid AT&T SIM card to do any of this?
I did some googling, and it appears on many websites that the U8650 (Sonic) is almost identical to the U8652 you have. I can't tell you whether flashing sonic roms on your fusion is safe or not, but at the very least, if you can get your phone working with ADB, you can extract the sonic rom's zip and just push the apks you removed onto your phone. I can't guarantee it will work, but I don't see why it won't.
If you do try this, let me know how it works.
Hope that helps..
Edit: Oh, and you do not need a SIM card to flash ROMs onto your phone.
Edit: I just saw that you found a supposed stock ROM; perhaps try pushing apks from that?
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L with Android 4.3, then downloaded Titanium Back-up, and then started removing several apps (in an attempt to strip the bloatware). Now when I go to Google Play and try to install a new app, I click the "Install" button and wait for the progress meter to reach 100%, but no "Open" button appears afterward (which used to happen). When I search my phone, there are no icons for any of the new apps I try installing.
Does anyone know which app I deleted that caused this problem? Thank you.
Put back you're nandroid backup. (I assume you make one before you start deleting some apps.)
Or flash a stock rom back without whipping. So you dont lose some data.

Have you tried rebooting the phone?
if you have installed TB then you have rooted the phone obviously. Explore your data folder from the root directory using TB or any advanced file explorers like Root explorer or Es file explorer. Find the apk files of the apps you have installed just to verify if your play store has downloaded the apps to your phone.
Also are you sure if you removed only bloatware or any core apks related to your android system... like eg: application provider.apk
I did not make a backup. Before flashing a ROM, I wanted to post here and see if anyone knows what app being deleted caused the behavior I described. That's what I'm wondering: Do you know which specific app being deleted would cause Google Play to have the described problem? When I try to install a new app, it gets to "100%" on the status bar, but subsequently fails to display the "Open" button. Everything else on the phone works flawlessly and I put a lot of time into customizing the phone with apps I like.
Having said that, I am curious about the option to flash a ROM that you mentioned. The reason I did not want an Apple phone is because they seemed to restrictive of options and freedom. But lately I am thinking about Google censoring AdBlock from Google Play, the EFF's criticism of doing away with AppOpps, and shoving Google+ down the throats of YouTube users. So, I looked into Cyanogen but my model of phone was not listed on Cyanogen's website for phones tested to work. I am interested to exploring the idea of flashing a ROM (which I never did before) but I definitely want to keep my 4G LTE functioning via T-Mobile. Any ideas?
