Are Twitter apps the "only" apks that wont install? If so, that is indeed perplexing. If you have the time, flash a different rom and see if you're able to install.

Try moving the app to /system/app then use root explorer to enable all permissions, then install.

i flashed EOD by magnus and was able to install gonna try manually pushing now hope it works cause i have no clue why it wont allow me too and yea twitter is the only app that wont install thought it was because it was no longer on the market but apparently that's not the case
edit: tried manually pushing and apk doesnt show up in app drawer. Gahhhh this is driving me insane!

Try moving it to the /system/app or /data/app
It seems its a widget, so that'll why its not showing up, if its on your sdcard.

well i already tried the system/app combo and fixing the permissions and that didn't work. will try the data/app combo wierd thi cause it should show up in the app drawer to open up the app

if you have Root Explorer (or Android Commander on your PC), navigate to /data/data and delete the com.twitter.android folder, and then try installing Twitter again. I had the same problem on CM7 and this fixed it (without having to completely wipe the phone)

Years weird thong I don't even have that folder anywhere in data/data

how to uninstall ADW

ok this sounds silly i know because i should be able to just uninstall it via app manager but it is not an option because the phone thinks its a system app.
i can not update either via market, or downloading the apk and using adb to install it.
i have googled and saw a few mothods but each varied and neither worked.
so if the phone considers ADW a system app, how can i get rid of it.
i was just going to delete stuff with root explorer but i get nervous doing that with things i dnt understand or fully know what they are.
anyone have any ideas ?
p.s.
adw rocks i love it i just want to update to 1.1.1 and can not.
once its uninstalled i will download it from the market so its installed properly.
first thing is, are you running another launcher? if not you need one. do you have root? im assuming so, so all you need to do is use estrongs/astro or whatever to navigate to the /system/app folder and delete it bu tonly if youre running another launcher.
that doesnt work my friend. there is more to adw than just /system/app
i did see a quick tutorial to rm /system/app/appname and also data/app/appname
so i need to do both.
the /system/app/appname is the normal method and the first thing i did. i didnt need to research that. but it still is technically install via other files and folders somerwhere else

no sign of it on my cm6 installs after removing from system/app and then a cache and dalvik wipe.
ahhh that might be the ticket there.
i am always nervous about wiping.
cache wipe is ok. i just dont do dalvik for nothing.
i need to go back and read a little about whats in dalvik.
thanks for the tip
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
hey man thanks for the wipe suggestion that was the ticket.
ya know i been using the LG Launcher the last 2 days and i like it. better app drawer grouping then adw but slower page and drawer shifting (no speed option)

[Q] Is there a Vending.apk that works with EG22?

I tried installing and copying over 10 different Vending.apk's to /system/app folder and none work!
A few older versions of markets(before WP7 look) installed and i could open them and browse apps but as soon as i push on the app button in market,try to install app or do anything else the market would crash.
I removed usual amount of unneeded apk's from /system/app folder,is there any apk's that require the market to work or it doesn't work period?
I noticed there was 4 or 5 Terminal.apk's in /system/app folder and i removed them are they needed for market to function or is it something else?I only removed the things i always remove besides Terminal.apk's.
Its a shame because other than market not working its a solid rom.

The new market posted works fine for me on EG22.
Don't think your problem is the vending.apk. You either removed somthing you shouldn't have or the version of ROM you are using has something broken in it. "Stock" odexed EG22 has no problems with the market.
I had no problem with the market in the stock deodexed rom either but I upgraded to the new market and am using it with no issues.

You probably right,time to put back some apk's and see which one is needed for market.
Did you try clearing data in the market app?
Please post the answer if you figure it out. I'm having the same problem.
Have you tried fixing permissions followed by a reboot after pushing the apk?

Google Play Store Force Closes

Hello everyone, i hope this is the right place to post this.
Here is my issue, its prob easily fixed but im just unsure of how to do it. I was messing around with some inverted apps. Google Play Store was one of them. It wouldnt work, and the store kept force closing.
If i reinstall the vending.apk file, it installs over what i have and works fine...untill i restart my phone. After restarting, first thing i get " Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped"
Can anyone shed some light on how i could fix this? It works perfectly fine until i restart my device.
Try clearing data and fixing permission

I just cleared data settings. Fixing permissions in CWM right now.
Will update when finished.
EDIT : Nothings different. First thing that happens after reboot is the force close error.
Bump. Can anyone help?
google store force close
I had the same problem! Are you doing the copy/paste method? Then I kept trying different things, then I figured out you can use file manager program to install it, and it seems to work fine. Try that maybe
I just reinstalled the apk and was all good

or- maybe not- just force closed on me again!
same thing happens to me, on JW4 and as soon as I download an app, force close. Tried everything, older versions, modified versions, clear cache, fix permissions. I can download install from other markets no problem. Everything else works .. I'd hate to do a factory reset. Ideas??
FIX! You must be rooted. Uninstall play store, then using a root explorer paste vending.apk in system/app, then reboot. You can also use the mod vending.apk, it'll work. I had moved apk using titanium backup into my system rom, then when I did the most recent update it all went to hell, force close every time I tried to download an app. By doing the above it installs it outside of the rom and it worked. Hope it helps!!!

You don't have to install another Rom. 1st to a search for a mod playstore multidpi .. manage apps and clear data on playstore .. then with root explorer go to system/app check name .. vending or phonesky .. rename your mod playstore to same paste in system and set permissions to rw-r--r-- .. move paste overwrite into system/app reboot

Previously when I rooted my S3 and installed Titanium Backup, I had changed Google Play from a System app to a User app… fail. Nooo it don’t like it. Tried alot of stuff to get it back working
Just undid it, changed Google Play back from User app to a System app and viola!! :laugh:

Well, it may not be the reason for issue. I also made it user app but there was no issue untill once i stopped when some app was getting downloaded.
I tried every thing like restoring from Titanium backup, cleanig cache,cleaning data for google play store and google play services but no luck. Finally it got resolved when i flashed gapps after deleting google account. Then after flashing gapps when i created new acount a d then install apk it worked.
Hope this will help.

In simple terms; take out the apk from the Gapps package and either cut or copy it. Now, navigate to your ROM's system/app/ directory, and paste the gallery2.apk there. The phone should be booted up the whole time while doing the above. Now, reboot your phone. That's it!

Because that's not how you're supposed to install the apk. Use the instructions I posted above on how to do it.

What are the permissions to be set at? I pushed this and the stock file manager to system apps, fixed permissions via recovery, but neither work. When I use Root Explorer to check the apks they show different permissions from all the other system apps. MusicPlayer and SecNoteMyFiles show rwxrwxr-x while the other apks show rw-r-r-- I guess I need to manually change them?
EDIT - Actually what happens is they don't show in the app drawer, so I tried to install them from the system app folder, but I keep getting an error "Application not installed".

No go for me. They just don't want to work. I don't know why. I was on the stock ROM via ODIN. Everything worked. I pulled five apks from the system app folder.

First I want to thank you, and say sorry for making you help me so much, as I'm now realizing it would have worked if I just used your version from the beginning. I've been trying to get the one I pulled from my stock ROM when I was running it. It seems my APK is not the right one. Yours worked the very first time. It's also bigger than mine by about a MB. Where did you pull it from? I pulled mine directly from the system/app folder.
Also since mine didn't work for this, or my File Manager APK, would it be possible for you to share that too? Or tell me where to get it? Thanks again.
