Help. big trouble with apk installation - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I'm having a major problem trying to install PowerAMP. I have to admit that at first I tried to crack it, with no success. So honestly, I decided to legally buy it. I know that kind of matters are not allowed here, but actually I'm looking for help on a different thing.
But the problem is that because I intalled, reinstalled, uninstalled and deleted archives so many times in my attemps (with no luck) to activate the full version now it seems like something has been corrupted.
At the moment I will swear that, with the help of Root Explorer I have deleted all trace of poweramp and it's unlocker. But there something broken somewhere. Check this out:
If I try to install Poweramp trial from the store I get this error: Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID.
If I try to install (or buy) the unlocker I get this: you're replacing another app (when there's abosolutely nothing related in /data/app!!) do you want to continue? App not installed.
So I'm stuck at those points and actually a little bit "scared". I love the app and after my failiures at attempting the activation I reeeally want to buy it legally.
But something is wrong, I've been looking for hours but I coulnd't find anything.
Maybe someone can help me, please? I can only thing of some type of cache or registry or something... anyway, any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

You can try doing a cache, and dalvik wipe.
Then try to install the app again.

You mean to go into recovery and perform a wipe cache and a wipe dalvik cache, right? Isn't that dangerous for my data and configurations?
EDIT
Tried that just now, nothing changes...

Did you tried to uninstall the whole application using titanium?
I really don't know what can be happening. u.u

Ok first thing is,go into your sd card with a file explorer and search the sd card for any folders,that are labeled with power amp,then go to recovery and wipe cache and delvik and fix permissions,reinstall poweramp that you purchased,if that doesnt work,you will need to install your nandroid and start over fresh,sometimes the files from an app,get distributed into several different folders,so its hard to delete all the temporary files left behind,unless you wipe everything and reinstall a nandroid.

I did all that, go through a lot of folder, in internal sd, external sd and in the filesystem too. I don't know what nandoroid is.
This is so weird because yesterday I installed the app like 10 times. The only different thing I did before the faliure was to look for any files related and delete them, in order to erase anything related with the crack to intall the original one.

Factory reset after root?

My software on my droid x2 isn't doing good. From what I have seen something will happen in the background that causes all my system apps to restart, only they never finish restarting which begins to devour my memory and eventually leads to my phone freezing up. Also the ringtones like to change randomly to default (alarms set in third party apps too).
I was hoping rooting and getting rid of bloatware would solve this problem but it is still persisting. I thought I could restore backed up system apps with Titanium Backup so I was removing the apps. I'll leave them "restoring" for 45 minutes with no luck (I tried both just restoring the app and restoring both apps and data). So apparently it doesn't work like that.
My question is if I do a factory reset with my phone in its current condition, will I have an issue?
If u diddnt freeze the apps then you might. Did u back them up before u removed them?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
Yes I backed up all of them, but when I go to restore them it doesn't work. It just keeps restoring them eternally. I waited 45 minutes for app only restore and it wasn't done.
If I am just clearing data in the process of a factory reset, can I maybe wipe data manually or with a tool that wipes data?
Anyone know the answer to this? I tried installing from the apk pack of services, but not all of them would install. My phone really needs a factory reset, I'm getting a lot of software related errors.
Could I maybe manually wipe certain apps? If anyone happens to know which built in apps are okay to wipe I would like to know.

Yes you can wipe an apps data. Go to applications in the settings menu and then click on the app you want to clear and select clear data.

Not all the apps in system can be installed via tapping on them. They need to be manually moved to system/app then change permissions. You can copy all over using root explorer

All you need to do is swap internal and external mount points. My Eclipse ROM has this built in. There is an init.d script that is floating around here that will do it as well.

[Q] [closed] Apps from a2sd ext partition won't entirely remove themselves

Hi,
I recently flashed a new ROM (fla.sh's fla.sh X2, it's excellent, btw) and successfully set up ext4 partitions for a2sd.
The problem is that I sorta "pushed" my phone a little bit too hard whilst downloading 3 apps simultaneously from the Market (I have a weak connection and was furiously multitasking at that time). In the end, those 3 apps wouldn't start at all; it'll load, then pop up a force close dialog.
First I thought it was a problem with the Market data or cache, so I cleared both. Still got errors. Now I believe that the apps are messed up from the ext4 partition.
How can I fix this? I browsed the partition through Terminal Emulator and Ubuntu, but I can't seem to find anything that'll help.
Should I format the partition (or SD card)? I'm picking that as a last resort, since I have other apps in a2sd.
Thanks in advance, let me know if I'm being ambiguous or you need more info.
actually u can browse a2sd partition directly using ur phone, no need ubuntu or teminal whatsoever. in this case, im using rootexplorer. its /system/sd
I can't believe I just realized that. Thanks for mentioning!
But still isn't helping me with my problems.
I took a look over at the fla.sh X2 post, and fla.sh said that it's caused by the V6 Supercharger script.
I'm downloading the de-supercharger script now, hoping it'll fix it.
Have you tried unninstalling them and then installing them again? :S
No, just do a factory reset before flashing. It will format your .asec and sd-ext folders and clean out the apps.

Tried to change my keyboard... now phone crashes. Fix permissions doesn´t help

So I wanted to change my keyboard... In fact I *did* change my keyboard.
At first whenever I wanted to use the keyboard (for notepad for example) it would say something like "Unable to reach" but after a while the keyboard just started working.
Then I switched on wifi and everything started crashing with the usual "Unfortunately (insert every task) has stopped working".
I know I can probably solve this by doing a factory wipe... but I also know that there MUST be a better way to solve this problem.
I have adb installed. I have Siyah kernel.
I can access the whole damned phone from my laptop in or out of recovery mode. I just don't know where to look to fix the problem.
A possible clue:
I tried flashing Keyboard-Blau.zip when my keyboard wasn't working. But CWM aborted the flash with an unknown error.
This is very similar to what happened the last time I had this problem. The only thing in the zip anyway was AXT9IME.apk in the system/app folder.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
P.S. I have also wiped cache and davlak cache AND attempted to install a rom. All permissions in system/app seem fine.
Could it be that system is mounted as r/w somehow?
EDIT2: Just now when I tried to to wipe dalvik (sp) cache it said something about:
"Unknown volume for path sd-ext"
Just a note.
Also I have erased /system then installed the rom again and it's still acting up.

Hmm.. The only thing I can think of is wiping cache, dalvik one more time EDIT: and try to fix permissions from cwmr. If that doesn't work I would make a nandroid backup and flash your rom with a full wipe again to see if that fixes it. At least you can restore the backup if it doesn't

Yeah I know a full wipe will fix it. I've already done that and screwed it up again a few more times for testing purposes.
My point is that there SHOULD be a way to fix it without a full wipe.
I mean if you've got root access, CWM recovery, AND you can actually boot the phone and access adb at the home screen... Then it should be possible to fix the problem.
It's a shame android dosnt return an error telling you WHY something is crashing. Then it would be a cinch.

This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483428
...from post #2. Then I tried the zip in post 3 and four. (If you'd like to replicate the error just backup your /data then you can do whatever the hell you want and just restore /data and you'll have everything.) Then I tried flashing the zip from post 3 or 4... which didn't work. Followed the directions for changing permissions on the keyboard.
I hadn't realized you could backup everything from CWM Recovery. And hadn't even considered that just restoring /data would work without screwing everything up again... but work it did! Wish I had realized that a couple of weeks ago... but I didn't really want that data anyway.
Basically I just want the touchwiz keyboard because the standard android one is too small for my hands.
But I can't quite figure out how changing two files... and even changing them back later... could crash the whole damned OS beyond repair.

Insufficient Storage Available

hi:
i use [ROM] UNOFFICIAL CM9 with working camera prev9
i know this h/b asked many times and i searched for an answer::
an app stopped working.. cleared cache from settings--no change..
reboot, cleared cache and delvik.. tried fix permissions also--no change..
uninstalled app / reinstalled app-- got error "Insufficient Storage Available"
looked for any ".com" references to the app--didnt see any
i have 219mb used and 1.3GB free internal storage ..
i also dont see setting to install to SD by default, just in case that would help..
i havent tried to install anything while on this latest prev9, i doubt thats the problem tho..
thanx for any help

Are you using something like root explorer? It may be in /data/app but I'm pretty sure the file manager had to be root enabled. You remember how sometimes in Windows you uninstall a program but the shortcut and folder are still there? You have to manually go in and delete those files yourself? That's giving you that insufficient storage issue. If all else fails, full wipe out wipe of system will put you clean again.

k, i did what you sugg'd:: did find a related odex and deleted it..
reinstalled from google play .. gave me the"unfortunately...has stopped" error..the same as my original prob that started my insufficient space error..
i guess im beat..
i ll probly have to wipe out and reinstall ..
i thought for sure a restore from nandroid wouldve helped tho..

After you delete the .odex, just to be certain the app is restored to the pre-odex state, in Lucky Patcher > Long press troublesome app > Remove ODEX with Changes! (restore application).
Then, go into system/settings/applications/all applications/Google Play Store and hit 'clear data'. Reboot into Recovery > Wipe dalvik & cache (a tad redundant, I know), reboot into system.
If this fails, after clearing caches, try re-flashing Gapps.

I stumbled across an application that should rectify your issue:
Amaze Memory Clear
Give it a shot if you are still having that issue. Report back, too - I'm kinda curious, myself.
that extra step you took was really great of you.. i will try it..
EDIT::
i found an obscure workaround for my original prob.. install ol file manager.. dont have to change anything.. just have it installed..
it did fix the stopped working problem..
so i reverted to my nandroid prev9 backup , installed ol file manager on this backup and everything works as before..
i did installed your memory clear app and it found quite a bit of space after i cleared apps cache and recovery mode cache and delvik..
so altho i dont know if it wouldve fixed my original prob, i do know it frees up alot of space...
really , i would bet against it fixing that prob cuz i had alot of space .... i didnt have much installed..
thanx for the tip

[Q] Recover lost app data due to accidental app deinstallation

Hi there,
I'm new here, so it's my first post and I hope I'm in the right place to ask here
Yesterday my girlfriend accidently deinstalled one of her favorite apps from her SGS3 (via Play Store), it's a game and all its game data is stored internally as it seems. No backup or anything else has been made before
She just reinstalled the app from the Play Store and opened it just once, but did not do anything else yet.
I've already searched the forum and googled around a lot, but did not get any appropriate answer to my question:
Is there any way to recover the lost app data to make her happy again?
I've already tried several apps from the Play Store like: Dumpster, Undelete, DiskDigger, Hexamob Recovery but nothing worked or even could access the internal storage or was just able to maybe recover lost pictures or videos.
Device info:
I've rooted her SGS3 I9300 and recently flashed it with CM 10.2 nightly (playing around with the phone while waiting to buy myself a new one )
I really hope there is someone out there who has an idea or just gives me an appropriate answer.
I'm not a native speaker so my apologies for every mistake I maybe made
Thanks in advance!

The app was deinstalled and as far as it seems all its stored data with it, so I cannot cut and paste it in again, that's why Im asking for a way to recover the app data

you also said the phone is rooted. enable root option to the file explorer and then you will be able to copy/cut/paste the data on the system. my preference es file explorer. menu> root explorer> mount R/W> set permissions to RW. then you will be good to go.

Maybe I was not clear enough. I tried your suggestion and searched for 'smurf' to find any data, now I got several files and folders containing 'smurf'.
I think the data was deteled while the deinstallation of the app, am I right?
Hard to answer this, but in which files will the app data be stored and if it is deleted, how can I get it back?
I found a solution, she did do a backup without telling me, 2 months ago...stupid little... my bad or better: her bad.
Thanks for your help so far!
Thread can be closed now...
Just FYI, without that backup, there would have been nothing you could have done.

Now that's what I wanted to know
I already thought that there might be no way to get the data back, due to the storage structure / filesystem and even to the fact that she reinstalled the app and started it (main data has maybe been written at that moment, so the old data blocks have been overwritten or so)
Really thanks!
