Problem with restoring apps...

[bigjonmoo73]

I have a rooted D1, I went to flash a new ROM last night and when I went to the market, it won't allow anything to install. Only apps I have under "My Downloads" will download, but then just sit on "Installing..." I also have tried to restore with TiBu and it won't restore anything. Please help! :icon_evil::angry:

Try a complete wipe (data/cache) and reinstall the ROM. Could be a file got corrupted during the first install. It's not uncommon, but definitely frustrating! Good luck!

It's not the ROM. I've tried 3-4 different ones and they all have the same result... =(

This just hit me. It could be that the ROM doesn't support the app or vice versa. It's like looking for an app for a Droid 2 and you're on a Droid 1. Can you download the missing apps from the market?

No, that can't be it. Everything was working fine, then I decided to flash a new ROM and it started doing this crap. But, I've flashed 3-4 different ROMs to see if that was the problem and that's not it either.

Try contacting the ROM developer or see if they have a forum Where this problem may be posted. Sorry I wasn't some more help. Good luck!

Check the .Android_secure folder on your SD card. You'll need to hook it up to a pc to do this as you can't view the files in that folder on the phone even with Root Explorer. This is where apps on your SD are stored. If there are doubles of some apps on there, delete the copies and try installing again. I ran into this while flashing a ROM, and it continued even after changing ROMs.

I'm looking through this folder and I see a lot of apps with a "-1" or "-2" at the end of them, would that be considered a duplicate?

I know I answer this in PMs, but in case it will help others...

Yes, the "-2" apks should be removed. Doing this cleared up my issues.

good luck

Are the apps on your SD card?
