facebook app won t install - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

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?

Anyone?.....
Bueller?..... Bueller?

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.

[Q] Help with Market/Contacts(BAMF 1.7)

Hey guys,
Starting today I have been having a problem with the Market and it saying it doesn't have enough memory to install something. For example the Flash update released today. I try to update and it fails saying it doesn't have enough memory. If I look at free space I have like 2gb free on the phone. I can still download other applications bigger than the update, but it isn't letting me update. I have tried clearing market cache etc. I had the same problem when Fring released an update the day before yesterday. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still couldn't/cant get it to even reinstall. Is their anything you guys might recommend?
Also I have been having a problem with the contacts application. I click on a contact and it says contact not found, or something to that effect. It is like it looses all my contacts and a little bit later they work fine(usually after a restart).
Just seems like I am having lots of problems at the moment. Is their any suggestions for an easy fix? Can I just reflash rom only, and if I were to do that would I loose all my applications etc?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Blaine

1. MARKET.....try clearing data/cache in menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all/market then reboot and open Market.....should help
2. The contacts issue is pretty strange...do you sync using Google or a Backup Assistant?
Yes you can reboot recovery, wipe cache and in advanced wipe dalvik cache and reflash the ROM your on...it will rewrite system/ and your apps/data will be left as is
ALSO, try a different ROM....I have personally run all teh Froyo ROMs and currently run BAMF Stripped v1.7 with no issues at all.....

After flashing RC1...

Well I flashed RC1 and "market" automatically started installing/updating certain apps including superuser. Well I forgot to update the su binary first and when I tried it would get stuck on the "checking current version" stage so I rebooted my phone and opened superuser again and it worked. Successfully updated binary after su app updated. Right on.. Time to restore my data/apps via Titanium Backup Pro... Done. Okay so I figure all is okay until I go to go somewhere that I need to use my GPS.....Then I noticed navigation is gone....so is maps...YouTube...."Google Play" is the only Google app on my phone... If I try to DL any missing Google apps from Play Store, it just hangs and will not download. Also yes I am 100% positive that I flashed the gapps zip after the update. I've tried out virtually every ROM for this phone multiple times so I have enough experience not to mess something so simple up. Plus, I've flashed CM7 on my X2 like 50 times & have the install instructions memorized and yes I know they slightly changed for RC1...
Anyways...
My question is do I need to do a full wipe and start fresh? (Sbf 2.3.4/Reinstall CM) Can I just flash gapps zip again? If I do will I have to wipe big 3 or nothing at all?....How did this happen lol? Was it because I updated su app then rebooted & updated binary after?? Was it maybe because I tried to restore all apps including gapps via TBPro?? I forgot to uncheck them and just ran the whole batch operation.
I would have posted in DZKs topic but I can't post in android development.
I would just try to go for it and flash the gapps zip again, but I'm not home anymore and won't be again for probably a week at the least. Not comfortable doing it if I get something wrong. No phone for a week is no good!! Lol sorry for the long post any help or general insight is greatly welcomed

Nevermind....Phone started acting real laggy and buggy once I got down to around 20% battery life. I plugged in my phone and rebooted it. All Google apps are back now however they showed up in random order in my app drawer. Instead of being alphabetical like it usually is, it's completely random. XDA is on page 2 and easy tether is on the last page, lol
Edit: just had to re-sort apps by alphabetical order under go launcher app drawer settings. All okay now

Same apps were missing for me after I did a batch install in TB. I looked in Backup/Restore selection, second on top in the main TB screen and found them at the very bottom as uninstalled. I just selected them there and restored app plus data. My wifi is still iffy and I get a lot of process system force close notifications that dont seem to do harm when I click force close or 'wait'. I do get more FC on RC1. I can't remember if you talked about that last half in your thread. Since I'm typing on my phone I don't feel like going back to check so yyyaaaaa
Hmmm. In RC1 I get 2 force closes right off the bat as soon as it boots up. Says Process DPS Manager has crashed. I hit force close and another one pops up. force close that one as well and I'm all set. Don't usually get any more FC's. Only other thing is I can't get Opera browser to work on this ROM. It boots up and says opera then it just closes. No FC or anything. Oh well back to dolphin HD. Rebooting nor clearing apps data will get opera to work for me which I find weird because I was actually using it the day I flashed rc1. Hasn't worked since
Hahaha had to edit....soon as I posted this the XDA app FC'd

Problem downloading applications on LG P506.

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?

[Q] "Download Unsuccessful"

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

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)

Accidentally deleted too many system apps

Hello, Thanks for all your help so far in rooting my Padfone X Mini. It's been incredibly useful in removing extra bloat and speeding up my device. Unfortunately I went just too far and deleted an app that I needed. I'm wondering if anyone can supply me with a copy of the APK for the ASUS Splendid app. It looks like the version I was using was 1.1.0.140618. I've tried some of the other downloads I've found of newer versions and they just crash every time I try to do anything. I rather liked the reading mode, but just wasn't paying attention when I got uninstall trigger happy.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks!
Tried installing it. Even copied it to /system/apps and installed from there. No matter what I do, it always crashes when I try to enable reading mode via the drop down quick settings.

You may just be best off using one of the ROM backups and starting over. I've learned to freeze an app first with titanium and then delete if no problems arise.
Well, I ended up just wiping it, installing a fresh factory ROM (since the stripped version had it missing as well) and re-removing the system app bloatware. I did it a little more carefully this time, using TB to freeze them first to check for problems. This time I'm good to go. Several apps already installed and more than a GB left. Finally this phone is usable.
