Issue with app's ? - GT540 Optimus Android Development

Hi.
I have issues here.
I would install market and Astro filemanager.
But I got info that they already was installed.
I cannot see them in the Application->Manage applications
It tells me, that " you don't have any third party apps installed".
I had the idea, that the GT540 is rooted, but obvciously not, as I cannot install apk's using the adb command.
Beside this, I also have this:
process com.android.vending issue.
What can I do?

You've missed the forum, this should be in General or Themes and Apps forum.
You haven't stated what ROM are you using.
Are you trying to install Astro via Play Store or from apk on sd card?
com.android.vending is a Google Play Store app, has it updated itself or is still Market?

Sorry for posting a wrong place :-(
I'm not sure what ROM I'm using. It's the dafault one, as it has not been modified, but Don't know. How to see it?.
It's an LG GT540 I use.
Iwould install it from apk on SD card, but due to a reason I don't know, I cannot get adb to work.
It tells me, that device not found.
I have formatted the SD card with FAT32, and now I cannot see the system path.
Bot worth to mention, I'm a newcomer here on Android :crying:

For recovery and fastboot look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747

I'm not sure what puzzled me, but now all is working.
I did an factory reset -one of an enormeus lot-, and after all worked again.
Now I can go to Market and do all what I want.
Thanks for the link to recovery and fastboot.
Will save the link for future use.
So for now, thanks for all your comments and great infos.
They are much appreciated

ADP builds of Android do not have TMobile apps such as Amazon MP3. This has been discussed ad nauseum if you had bothered to search.

It's a protected app. If you need it that bad that I suggest you go back to an RC build and do research before blindly flashing whatever build of Android is at the top of the forum.

If you still have the RC firmware you can just unzip it copy the amazon apk out and install it into the adp the amazon works. I dont think anyone has the IM app working though
We should have an official rc update from tmobile real soon, which will have amazon mp3, myfavs, etc...
Just open a RC33 update.zip and extract the file from /system/app. Then you can install it by adb push.
Verified as working. I just added it to the app folder of Dudes 1.1 build and then did the update and it works just great. Purchased and downloaded a song to verify.
Here it Is
http://droiddeveloper.com/com.amazon.mp3.zip
enjoy it works for me...
Really Bad,
In Germany it cannot charge my creditcard... It has enough money on it.
I have the dude's 1.5 version, and cant seem to get it running. It forces closed upon trying to open. Any thought? It is saved to my SD in the app folder.
TIA

TY SolemnWishing, this is how I got the app on my SD card to begin with - yours is a very helpful thread for a n00b like me. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the app to open. I am not sure how I could have messed it up - pretty simple, I navigate to the app folder on my SD and click the apk file which proceeds to install Amazon MP3. No go.
If you have any ideas on what the problem might be I would appreciate the input.
Thanks again for your great tutorial
Hmm... I assume you deleted the .zip and renamed it to .apk, what firmware are you using?
I am using firmware 1.5. Yes I renamed to apk. I wants to work, just force closes before it fully loads. I also have this problem with oi music player. It used to work, now no longer loads. I wonder if my SD card is the problem. It is 8 gb, but I am sure only like a class 2 card.
Strange. I have JF 1.5 and installed the Amazon app the normal way for any app on the G1 and have rebooted several times. The app still works. I thought if you did not push the app to the G1 it would need to be reinstalled each time you reboot the device?
Well, I am pretty positive it was my SD card - after writing my post this morning I pulled the SD card and have not been anble to get the phone back since. This thread pretty accuratly describes what is going on...long story short, i think I fried my SD card and as a result am stuck on Splash 2. I have wiped several times...

uggg...all for mp3's!!!! any thoughts and lots of luck would be appreciated.

Ahh I did the same thing. Here is what you need to do, you will need to force format it. Windows will NOT detect the card, and it may even freeze your computer. Put the phone into another device, such as a palm pilot or another cell phone and format it from there. It shouldn't take very long, and when it is completed, it will likely say the memory card only has 5Kb or so of memory on it. NOW insert the card into your computer and reformat it into a FAT32 format (+Ex2 for apps to SD) and you should be good! Of course, you will need to reload all your files though. That will fix your SD card. As for your phone... you will need to completely reflash a new firmware onto it, as right now starting up your phone is looking for items on your SD card which it may need, which no longer exist.
edit: if that doesn't work, completely start from the beginning by flashing the dreamimg.nbh file for rooting.
I was able to reformat the SD card, lost all my backups of course, and had to reflash dreaming.nbh and start from scratch. No biggy, at least i still have my phone.
thanks for all the tips...once i get my card re-partioned, I will try the Amazon.apk again.

I got it to load - thanks for all your help.

No problem at all, glad I could help.

Using more than one sdcard with ap2sd?

I need to change between some sdcards, because I have a lot of videos and games that does not fit in only one sd...
But I have ap2sd, and I figure I need to clone ext partition to the others sd cards (phone hangs if I insert other sdcard) ...
So, that is the question... ¿How can I clone the ext partition of the working sdcard to the rest???
I tried Partion magic, and parangon, but the problem is that software aks to reboot to do the job, and out of windows the usb sdcard reader driver don´t work, and those applications can´t find it when reboot.
I tried ubuntu, but it said I am not (even I am root) the ownership of the files, and don´t let me copy and paste...
I tried G1 terminal with busybox, to copy /system/sd/ to another folder, but it said (even with SU) it can´t, even I see all apps and delvik folder and so on inside /system/sd/...
Any idea how can I do it??
THANKS
check your pm's
So how do you do it?

it involves commands that could be seen as a way to pirate other peoples work so the mods do not like to see them which i cannot blame them. i cannot recall the thread but i saw one where they edited a post that showed how to do pull apps.

apps2sd on stock froyo?

Has anyone found any apps that this works with or do we need to wait for all the devs to come out with new versions? All i checked wouldn't allow me to move them.
Unrooted by the way.

Every app has to be updated by the author. No way around it.
If your rooted you can just switch the toggle to 2 and all the apps can be moved over to sd and new apps install there by defaut. I'm not a real app whore having maybe 50 more or less but still, they are every last one on the sd.
No problem thankyou. Just making sure I was not doing anything wrong with it lol.

Try searching im almost positive that there is a tut on it but, You need to install the Android SDK and create a connection to your device with the sdk.
You can then run the ADB command from terminal(mac OSX) or CMD(windows)

i switched setInstallLocation to 2 but if i try to move an app to the sd card or install anything from the market my phone just restarts.
anyone else having this problem?
i installed the ota from .zip directly over cyanogen 5.0.6 no wipe
sdcard is formatted fat32/ext3/swap
any help appreciated.
Is there an easy way to find out which of the currently installed apps have been updated to support FroYo's apps2sd?
There has to be a better way than to open Manage applications, sort by size and then click on on each app..

Had this problem a while back. A wipe was required before it worked correctly.
There is also my modded spare parts that let's you choose where to force install app, without having to go through adb

There's a free app on the market called "App 2 SD", it shows all apps that can be moved and moves them for you (that should be all of them
Visit this link from your phone or use Chrome-to-phone if you used the shell command above) if you're cool like that:
App2SD
[EDIT] Having the App 2 SD app running after using the command above will crash the apps!
yeah if you want to spend ages compiling

[Q] installation error unknown reason-18

HELP!!! every time i try to download and install an app from the market it says "installation error
unknown reason-18"
what could be causing this, and how do i fix it?
I get the same thing. Cyanogenmod 6 RC3. Apps installing to external.
I've tried:
1) rebooting
2) deleting the market data
3) wiping cache
4) wiping dalvik cache
5) nandroid/wipe/restore
6) BART/wipe/restore
7) wipe/reflash
I've heard that installing to internal, and then moving them to external will work. I've also heard that installing one app by adb will fix it to make market work.
And finally I've heard that the following works.
Code:
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec
I'll be trying a few of these out, starting with the last.
*****::::::EDIT::::::*****
The above code should read:
Code:
su
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec
Note that in normal text, that's "rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec". For some reason, the CODE tag makes a lower case l look like the number 1.
l
Code:
l
1
Code:
1
I should also mention that I also tried to fix permissions.
The code shown above didn't work. Terminal said that the file didn't exist.
I set it to install apps to "automatic" and that has been working since my first reply.
On the Terminal, enter first "su" and only after that run the command.
hello, i have a Desire NON-rooted and have changed too automatic install on external trough ADB, but i have this problem now suddenly i got unknown reason 18 and nothing will install on external !!! is there any solution i have maybe 20 apps on the external. thanks

I had the exact same error message when trying to install the Google Maps update today and it turned out that it was because Google Maps was on the SD Card. I had moved maps to SD yesterday, then when I tried to update it, I got the error you got. I had to
1) switch the install location back to internal
2) move maps back to internal
3) clear market cache
After those 3 steps, I was able to install the update without issue. I guess some apps can not be updated if the are either on the card or maybe if they have been moved to the card.
I have the same error. None of the tips here have worked for me. It seems to be only Angry Birds that wont install...
**EDIT** Just found this -
it's smdl2tmp1.asec (with the letter L before the 2) not smd12tmp1.asec (with the number 1)
Oops!

Solved deleting .adroid_secure folder. It's hidden in SD root.
Tried all the above hints, still not working
Hello all
Market is still not installing anything on my N1.
There is no such file in /mnt/secure/asec, and yes, got a rooted phone.
The only file there that starts with s is smpxg.jewelxmas_lite-1.asec.
Any other hints ?
I experienced this on Froyo (2.2), Froyo 2.2.1, CyanogenMod 6.0 and now also on nightly CM 6.1.
Cheers.
UPDATE: Never mind, was able to unmount
tmpfs on /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure type tmpfs (ro,relatime,size=0k,mode=000)
Then rm'd it safely. After a reboot I am back in the game.
is this problem solvable for people who dont know what to do with the code or what a terminal is?
removing smdl2tmp1.asec did it for me on my evo. Thanks guys.

Ok, so I'm having problems with installing Angry Birds (installation error - 18) and I have read the posts, but I honestly have no idea what to do. Someone said that this code works, but where am I suppose to type it in or alter it?
I'm with thenapster3, not got a clue! Running MUIU Build 5 and can't find anything mentioned or delete the secure folder. Soz Any help would be gratefully received.

found this on other forum... thought i would share with you
(1) unmount your SD CARD
(2) download and install the app
(3) mount back your SD CARD
worked for me...
try this
I got an error saying 'unknown error 18', I Google'd the error and found a possible fix, which was un-mounting the SD card. I tried, and was able to install the apps ! I then have to mount the SD card and move the apps across! It works, but its a real pain to have to keep un-mounting and mounting the sd card!
giv it a shot

(Updated 3/sept)*****solved!***** CAMERA SAVE TO SD CARD WITH GOOGLE EDITION ROMS!!!!

Updated XposedInstaller 3/sept
As you all want to save your photos/videos to your external card (like I wanted), I give you my solution for this problem.
The solution is based on these two threads:
- Pictures2SD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408880
- XposedFramework: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Thanks to davisNT and rovo89
After some research here is my short method to make your Google Edition saving photos/videos to external card:
1. I attached two files, you have to download them to your phone
2. Install de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v18_e88d8b.apk
3. Launch the Xposed Installer, give it root, and click on "Install/Update"
4. Reboot your phone
5. Install Pictures2SD_102.apk
6. Launch Xposed Installer, go to the modules page and select the checkbox for Picture2SD
7. Reboot and it's done
I hope I don't forget anything, and I'm sure you can do it yourself if I missed something.

Not sure why, but my phone will not boot after the install. I installed per directions and did use the large button. I rebooted and it is now not getting past the Google screen. I will wipe phone and try again. Anybody else tried this out yet?

Wait a minute, it finally rebooted after 5 tries. I will see what happens now.
Nope, still has same error and will not load P2SD

I also needed this, and made a research, and it was not fast. And because those threads you mentioned are far from the Galaxy S4 sections, and not completely understandable seperately for almost everybody, I finalized and simplified here as the real solution.

I just edited the system folder to add media r/w permissions and it works that way. Thanks for taking the time to work on this. It is easier than editing the system folder (and probably safer), but I have done the edit and will just use it that way.
everything went smooth
open up camera app and its asking me to install an SD card into phone before using camera.... i have a 64Gb card...
formatted SD card as well.. still no change
Anyone solved this challenge for CM10.2?
Would love to use CM10.2 for a while but the lack of pic to SD makes that a bigger pain than it should be.
