[Q] Application won't install? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hai all !
I've got an app I'm trying to uninstall, and it won't do it - the uninstall button is greyed out. Instead it asks me to update the application - which fails every time.
I can't use other apps to uninstall the program, because apparently it isn't even installed on my phone. I'm stuck with my market displaying this app and prompting me to update it, and I can't do anything!
Any solutions please?

What app, which rom?

It's called "talking tom cat" and I'm using VillainROM 12
EDIT: Nevermind I've done it!

Apps installed manually not showing in the market?

Hi,
I have a lot of applications installed, some from the market, and some via downloading the apk file... Those from the apk files don't show up in the "my apps" list in the market, hence, should be updated manually as well...
Is this normal? Or is there a way to fix it?
Of course it's not a big deal, but it's just annoying a bit...

You can try install them again through the market.
if you have titanium backup (everyone should) then you can go press menu button, more and run market doctor...
Wala links everything back up. I do this every time i flash a new rom and need to reload apps.

[Q] can find apps in market but cannot install

I've searched the threads but cannot find anything regarding the specific problems i've been having. I am running cm 7 on my gtab. Whenever I search themarket for certain apps I fund th he app but there isn't a linkto install. I've tried the market fix but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? Thank you in advance.
Me too
I have the exact same problem. In my case, it's Skype I can't install. Which sucks because it used to work until I tried to "upgrade" it.
Appreciate any pointers you may have.
Hi Everyone,
I also have the same issue, on some app's. that I want to install, there isn't any download button available, all I see is a yellow block with the notice that the app. isn't compatible with my device, isn't that what everybody else sees ?

I have noticed this is the different GB ROMs and the new Market. I have been restoring from Titanium backup, but would also like to see this fixed.
I have been using black Mart alpha to find most of the app..... You can find black mart alpha if you download gmob and browse through the application section.
Downloaded the black market alpha app. and installed it, it does work..but some of the app's. available aren't current..thanks.

Hey mates, yesterday I upgraded to HoneyComb 3.0.1 , since then I cannot install any app grom Google market, it says downloading but it displays that for hours...it happens with all apps, I've tried to reboot and nothing...
blackmart app installion
How to install paid and unpaid apps through blackmart on rooted or unrooted device when install button does not work.
1-go to blackmart and download your desired app
2-restart your phone and go to system recovery by holding volume up + home + power buttons
3-select option for wipe cache partition
4=reboot your device
5-goto blackmart
6-select the app you already downloaded
7-install it, it will work
You have to follow above steps for each app you want to download. It is annoying but that’s the only way I found so far.

[Q] Samsung apps update problem

I've searched the forum extensively and didn't find anything like this. Hopefully someone can help.
using InParisV5 rom.
I'm trying to use the samsung app for the app store.
When I run the app it wants to update. It does it successfully but then opens a dialog box asking what language to use and it only lists 1 (I think it's chinese by the symbols)
If I cancel then it just doesn't run. if I select ok it runs but it is in chinese.
I tried uninstalling the app (v3.10.115)
also uninstalled SamsungAppsUNA2.2.0.19
also uninstalled com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.com.una
After re-installing the V3 I get the same result. If I just install the UNA2.2 I don't see the app listed so i guess that isn't the app itself. (can u tell i'm a noob?)
Any ideas on how i can get the USA langusge option. (I do tell it USA on the initial install but when it updates that's when the problem arises).

[Q] Market Problem

I have a terrible Market problem. My Vega loaded with HoneyIce 3.2.7 auto installs Google Play Store which is fine, but when I'm going to click accept on the Terms, it just force-closes. If I'm fast, i can click accept, but it force-closes after that top. When i install an older version of Android Market, it just auto updates and the problem is still the same :S Does anybody know how to fix this?
I'm having the same problem and i think alot of people will since google play just launched , i havent tryed it yet but i think it should work.
Do factory reset over cwm ,
then in terminal emulator:
su -
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
hope this helps , im gonna try this later myself.
It works, thnx You don't need to reset it...

I just assumed it would need reset because it reverts back to android market from google play. But oh well , glad it helped.
Okay, I got Google Play wokring. I don't know what i did, but it works...
Thanks for the fix!
Every time I tried to install/upgrade an app from Market it would say that this app can't be istalled on phone or usb storage. I even tried to install apk files thru manager and it didn't work anymore.
What I did was:
1. Freeze "Market updater" in Titanium Backup (pm disable does the same thing!)
2. Go in Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications-->All-->Google Shop and clear cache+data and then "Uninstall updates".
3. Restart tablet and Market should work once again!
Someone could also post a link to old version (last version before Market was transformed into Google Shop).
I had same force closes, all I did was force stop the app, then cleared its data and now it works fine?

Can't use PlayStore anymore after flashing a rom

Hi,
I recently bought a le max 2 from GB with Gapps and multi-language and everything was working perfectly, but i wanted to update the phone, so i decided to install the stock chinese rom (eui 5.9.021s) through the stock recovery. Now, when I try to open the PlayStore it always stops and closes. Furthermore almost all my Gapps (YouTube, gmail, play games, play music...) seems to be installed (when I go to the options they result as installed) but I can't see them anywhere. I have already tried to uninstall and re-install it, but I have this problem as well.
Can someone help me please?
That is the problem of the Le Max 2. You have to go to app management, uninstall all the problematic apps manually and then reinstall them again.
Thanks for your answer!
Your method works for most of gapps (for example if I uninstall gmail and then install it again its icon will appear) but it's not the same for PlayStore... I tried to uninstall and re-install it but it doesn't work(there's its icon but i can't open it). I thought it could be a problem of Google play services but i can't even uninstall it.
Another strange thing I noticed is that when I click on the PlayStore it immediately pops up a message that says that PlayStore stopped working but it keps running in the background and it closes just when I Press a button ("ok" or "cancel") of the message that doesn't allow me to use it.
Have you got any advice for me about this issue?
I recommend to install via custom recovery, eg. TRWP.
Download your gapps package here:
http://opengapps.org
After than, flash it via custom recovery.
100% working method!

That's the problem of the phone, it wouldn't let some apps, particularly the system apps, to be uninstalled completely. When you try to reinstall the apps on top of the existing one, problem arises. Now, I am unable to get the IR Remote Control working again. If your phone is completely stock ROM and has not yet been rooted, back up all your apps and data, do a factory reset and reinstall them. If it still doesn't work, you might have to reinstall the apps via TWRP as rqzor99 suggested.
Thank you amowagou and razor 99 for the help you are giving me.
My phone has never been rooted and i have not installed any custom recovery (what's more this was the First time I tried to flash a ROM .
Probably if i do a factory reset, Google play services and the PlayStore will be deleted from my phone because the stock chinese ROM doesn't include them and then I could make completely new installation of them as amowagou said. Probably I'll try this solution because it allows me to have them without having to modify my phone.
As well I also apreciated the advice of razor.
(Obviously if someone else has other advises for me they are welcome!
I'll let you know if following amowagou's advice the problem will be solved
If you have stock ROM (your Chinese ROM) without Chinese market, called Lestore - there isnt another option, you have to flash gapps via custom recovery. Be careful with choosing package - arm or arm64 - TWRP tells you if you have wrong one and it will dont let you install it, no worries.
If you have Lestore in your stock ROM, just find gapps and install it.
Thats it
