[Q] Android Market force close - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to everyone,
Sorry for repeating the thread, but I haven't find solution for my problem.
Each time I start Android Market it force close. I tried Android Market v2.2.6, v2.3.6, v3.0.27. I tired to open new gmail account, factory reset, remove SD card, restart, use ZipSigner... and still the same.
Could someone help me?
I have rooted Samsung Galaxy S2, Android Gingerbread v2.3.3, kernel XWKE7.
Best regards!

Wipe phone flash stock firmware via Odin is what i would do .

Also try fixing permissions in CWM that works a lot of the time for FC issues.

Custom rom or theme?
Try cleaning the cache and darlvik cache
Update to a newer stock or custom rom.
Make sure your kernel matches your rom.

Reboot into clockwordmod, advanced, fix permissions, reboot.
Fixing permissions usually (not all the time) does work, other than that i would do a full wipe and start afresh.

I have problem with opening the market, so I can't download "fix permission".

Problem solved.
Hi to everyone,
I made official update of my ROM (according to product code seems that it is now for my country) and got pre installed Android Market that is working.
Everything is fine now.
Thank you for your time and effort.
Best regards!

Hello,
I'm a noob and in need of desperate help. I recently flashed my SGS2 with CM 7.1 I installed all the Gapps and at first it all ran fine. But now the Market keeps on force closing on me with the errors:
com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly please try again
android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly.
I am unable to install/download any apps that I desperately need.
Steps taken:
clear Cache and data
flashed Gapps
Try selecting Language to English (Canada)
downloaded another Marketplace.apk
I am stumped and I don't know what else I can do.

Updating to a newer stock or custom rom will do it for sure

Hey Guys,
i have the following same problem:
Phone: i9001
ROm: MIUI Framework GFAN LUffy ROm
Kernel: [email protected]
XXKPK 2.3.6
Everything is working fine except the market.
The ROM comes without googleMarket.
Ive installed the market via *.apk 3.*.15
Everytime i start the app it loads...after couple seconds, Force Close.
I ve reinstalled the ROm etc,
Wiped Data, Rooted, Wipe Cache , fixed permission, Wiped dalvik cache, reinstalled the market...
Same again...Force Close..
I uninstalled the market via Root Uninstaller,
then reinstalled,
started the app....after a while it loaded the screen of the market, i saw the homescreen of the market. Then i tried to download something "whattsapp" whatever....., same again, FC...
Anybody who has experiences with this issue?
ForceCloses at market?
Thanks

Like Markoldfield said, updating to a stock or newer custom rom will solve it.

had the same issue yesterday after the russian email update mess, the only thing that worked for me was restoring an old version of market with TI

I think i know the answer since i had the same problem that i removed the download app and the download provider
so you get them back or reflash the rom

Hi there,
Is anyone still encountering FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore or market, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that , you can try this option freely..
1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.
2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.
3. You can achive it through shell terminal.
Hope this helps you guys fix the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).
Hit thanks if it helps.
Thanks

[Q] Newest Market and CM7 causes FCs

With the newest market update, I am constantly getting force closes with it. I am running CM7 (2.3.5, kernel 2.6.35.7) and the market version in question would be 3.1.3. I have tried clearing the app cache and uninstalling the update. I also tried using one of the old market apks, but it just updates and I am back to square one.

Same here. I a tually have a backup of a MIUI.us ROM loaded with all my app's. I load that and do update any apps needed. Use Titanium to backup the update. Then reload over to my CM7 and restore the app's freshly updated. Its a pain but I don't know what else to do for now.
I just noticed today that the Market Feedback is version 2.3.4, which I wonder if is related to the kernel version.

That was the first thing I did. I even made sure to wipe my phone 3 times. All I did was install nightlies 176 (then also did the same for 177/178) and first thing I installed after setup was the new v3.1.3 market. It still FCed. So I wiped again and tried v3.0.27 and now it FCs. Which is confusing the crap out of me I can't go backwards.

Actually had to go back to the 03/07/2011 version of GAPPS. I flashed that under root. Then fixed permissions. Rebooted and opened the old market. Agreed to the terms. Sat and downloaded ROM Manager (just picked a random app to see if it would crash). Downloaded and installed fine. Closed the old market. Noticed my launcher icon changed from the old market icon to the new one. Opened the market again and it had updated. Checked "My Apps" and was finally able to update my needed apps.
On a side note I opened up Titanium Backup PRO and noted three apps that were new.
- FOTA Kill v1.0
- Google Backup Transport v3.0
- Talk v1.3 (no idea why that's a new app)
Haven't rebooted yet, but that's a step in the right direction at least....

Yeah I tried that and it did not work. Even selecting English again did not work. But at least there are options, as some work for different setups!
Weird issue but I haven't heard much about it since last week. Hopefully something like this doesn't pop up with every update!

I don't know what happened, but I can't download anything from google play. When I click install on any app, it just get stuck at "Downloading...." and it never downloads the app.
running CM9, and just updated to latest 20120429 release and its still not working. I already tried wipe date/factory reset.
any ideas?

i had this problem with my first android phone
the solution was to re-run the phone setup (like you get when you turn on the phone for the first time), maybe the touchpad has something similar?
Have you tried deleting the app data (Settings => Apps => Google Play => clear settings), and then re-flashing the GApps package ?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium
Tried all of that, still not working.
Another thing, I could never get CWM to install, always had to flash through novacom command.
One fix on a phone was to open a terminal app and type the following:
Su <enter>
Killall drmserver <enter>
Don't type the enters just hit enter let us know if it works

Hi
First of all did you reflasg your GAPPS also after flashing with latest build of CM9? If no then you need to flash latest GAPPS from this site.
goo-inside.me/gapps
Also after that varify that you system date and time are correct in your settings. This could be another reason that google play doesnot load at all.
Hope this helps.
I abandoned Android for a while and used WebOS on my Touchpad. But today I decided to reinstall Android again with the latest CM9 nightly. I'm still getting the same problem. Here are the things I already tried:
- Installed latest CM9 nightly, CWM, and the latest gapps from goo-inside.me/gapps, this time I actually got CWM to work.
- Wiped data/cache, ran the google setup again.
Google Play still won't install anything, it just hangs on "Downloading". I can install apps manually by downloading the APK files from the browser. What else can I try to fix this?
Maybe you can try to wipe out all the data

may be you can wipe out all the data , and try again to install gaaps, i do it twice, everytime i wipe all the data, i have to reinstall all my apps, so you can just go into the advance option of the start menu
I had the downloading from marketplace error before when I used titanium backup to uninstall/freeze things i thought phone didn't need, some of them it needed, but if you did clean install/reset and still doesn't work, i doubt it is this

Resurrection Remix ics v2.3 - Google Maps Issue
Hi,
I have been following the posts on the Resurrection Remix ics v2.3 main development thread and the suggested steps don't quite work for me.
1. Using Root Explorer.
-Copy Maps and StreetView from System/App to Data/App
-Reboot device
-Access Play Store and attempt update which will fail
-Perform uninstall and reboot
-Install both apps from Play Store
*This did not work. Error: Incompatible...*
2. Using Titanium Backup
-Uninstall Maps and StreetView from System/App
-Reboot device
-Access Play Store and install both apps
*Same error msg*
I tried to Wipe Delvik Cache and Fix Permissions when attempting a second round of the above but did not resolve the issue. In all attempts, I did the FAQ Guide on Installing the ROM.
It seems these steps works for others but unfortunately not me. Hopefully someone could advise me further and any other information needed.
Thank you!

Hi Sun90,
I did the steps you suggested and sadly it does not work but on a good note, a new version has been released and a fix is indicated.
I'll try that update and will check it out. Thank you for the assist.

[Q] Play Store Crashed

So, I have the AOKP ROM on my phone and I decided to update my ROM through the updater that came with the ROM.
After updating it, I started having pop ups with 'android.process.acore'. It keeps telling me that it was crashing.
So, after researching, I uninstalled my Facebook and cleared my Contact Data etc.
Then I realized that after updating my ROM, my Gmail, G-Talk, and Google Play Store stopped working/uninstalled.
Every time I try to open the play store, it would crash and force close....
After multiple times, I decided to restore factory settings and wipe data/clear cache through recovery mode and reinstalled the ROM the old school way (downloading it online and storing it onto my SD card).
After properly installing the new ROM (AOKP), I still don't have my Google Play Store. I've tried to get my phone to download and install the APK file online, but my phone doesn't recognize the apk file.....
Now, I don't know what to do. I think I f'ed up..... Help? I tried searching it already......
Please and thank you for reading.
