Motorola Droid :: Lots Of Failed App Installs / Updates Before And After I Rooted - Fix It?
Sep 29, 2010
Lately it seems that installing or updating an app is about a 50/50 chance of failure. This is both before and after I rooted. Then I installed LithiumMod and see the same thing. It doesn't appear to be any particular apps, and I've noticed it most recently with pandora update, wow armory, angry birds lite, and others. It makes the phone very useless in the instance where I need a new app and can't get it to work.
Going to Settings > Applications > Market > Clear Data seems to work... again, 50/50. Doesn't fix it every time.
Any ideas? I've googled around and most solutions are the "clear data" method, or just "try it again".

I noticed that facebook notifications don't work at all anymore. But since the most recent update my phone has rebooted at least 2 times a day. Most recently during a phone call? I got this phone as a refurb from Verizon after the OTA bricked my last one. Does this warrant a replacement or is it a software bug I have to track down? I honestly don't want to go through the exchange process again.

I cannot get HTC Sync installed on my WinXP laptop. Based on all the posts I've read I'm not the only one with this problem. None of the posts seemed to have a fix and based on the comments of users who'd contacted HTC, they don't have a fix either. I don't want to beat a dead issue but how am I supposed to sync my phone and computer? Anyone know of another program that I could use in place of HTC Sync?

I have rooted my droid and now I started wondering about what happens when verizon releases ota updates. I reverted back to 2.0.1 , 2.1 was a little too buggy for me. Does anyone know what will happen if/when verizon releases 2.1 ota. Will rooted droids receive the ota updates, will there be any problems installing the os. I just want to make sure I get the updates if I don't go back to mc's 2.1 rom.

1. Is 0.99.3b required for all roms, or is 2b sufficient?
2. Is WinRar needed for downloading and unzipping files, and if so, what is it?
3. Where is everyone downloading roms from?
4. What is the best/ most stable/ widely used rom?
I'm currently rooted, and ready to install some roms. I downloaded one, but it had a corrupt file and couldn't be used (youtube link from Droid Review).

I've been doing so much ROM swapping lately that I've evidently used up my quota of Swype installs.
Is there a way around this? I tried a couple of the leaked versions around and they both said they were expired...

lately i've been receiving reports of failed updates (e.g. myTouch 3G, HTC Incredible) for my app. After the 'failed' update, they're saying they're able to launch the app only from the Open button in the Market, but not from the app icon. Is this happening to other devs too?

Ok, there is literally no way that I'm the only one who has asked this question but I can't find the answer by searching. Here's my problem, after I flash my rom and restart my phone the market begins auto-downloading all the apps I previously had installed. I do not want this bc I use titanium backup for all of that.
I know I can avoid it temporarily if I skip entering my email address, but there has to be a setting for me to un check that will make it not try to auto download anything once I do add my account.
I'm sure you guys have all run into this by now, so can someone please tell me what setting will resolve this issue?

The .6 update that is meant to fix the memory card problem pops up on my phone like twice a day. If I download it AND install it, it doesn't take. The same FOTA update is detected again the next day, and the next day, and the next. I don't have any memory card issues. But I'm wondering how to make my rooted phone accept FOTA updates. I'm a n00b. Is this just a limitation of rooted phones? I rooted using this method: How to Root Your HTC Evo 4G! | HTC Evo 4G Hacks! I used this file: Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip

Just picked up the EVO 4G and looking to root in order to remove the Sprint apps and other bloatware (Peep, Footprints, etc.). I'm just trying to find out if it will be possible to use OTA Sprint firmware updates (i.e. the inevitable 2.2 down the road) once the phone is rooted, and if so, will it reset the phone (delete all data) or merely revoke root access? Down the line, I'm not so concerned about having root access, mostly right now with removing the excess.

I rushed to rooT before I even installed the latest ota and installed a custom recovery but I have been facing huge slowdown in games that should run butter smooth on my phone such as dead trigger and my friend with same mobile phone and both on stock jelly bean 4.2.2 rooted can run it butter smooth the only difference between 2 devices is that he installed the ota updates before rooting so could that be the problem?and if so is the there a way to install ota updates while rooted and if there is any custom rom without problems that works on my mobile phone that fasts everything up.

I have a galaxy samsung s3 and rooted it to download custom roms, etc. Which is all new to me fyi. Anyway, haven't decided on a rom yet, so still got the stock one going. When i get a notice to download a system update, and try to do it, it reboots to twrp recovery that i installed. Not sure what to do at this point or should i just not worry about the updates. Also, my phone doesn't recognize a usb connection when i hook it to my computer.

It used to be the market would separate apps that were approved for auto update from those that had disabled auto update set. One could then simply hit the Update All (for the group) button and it would update ONLY the apps that were auto update enabled. Over the past few months Play Store has changed their behavior in that it no longer separates the apps and will only enable auto updates for everything or nothing.
How can I hide or otherwise prevent these few apps that I do not want to update from being in the play store update list? As it is now, I have to selectively update each individual app from the list, skipping the few apps I do not want updated.
Currently on a Samsung GS3, rooted, stock.

Currently I have an Eris with v3 Leak meaning I can't root. But my wife loves my phone so I plan on giving her mine and either getting another eris and rooting or a Moto Droid and rooting. I've been trying to read up on the Droid and the different ROMS available and have some questions.First I want to make a few things clear:
1. This IS NOT a phone comparison.
2. The Incredilble IS NOT an option since it can't be rooted and I don't want to spend $200 on it.
3. I'm looking for WELL INFORMED OPINIONS, if you don't have one keep moving there is nothing to see here.
To be fair I've obviously done a lot more reading on the Eris which is why I'm looking for well informed opinions from Droid owners that way I can make a well informed decision.

Im working on a small app like spare parts for my firmware and i want to know how i can make it install to my system and be hidden(as in not show up in the app drawer) because i have made shortcuts in the android settings for the toolkit like app.
Is it something i have to do in the android manifest or is it a xml piece i have to edit?

I'm rooted and I manually installed 2.2 a few weeks ago, but a couple times a week I get a notification I have a system update. If I hit install later, it keeps popping up like every hour or something like that. If I try to install it, it just says installation failed. Is there a way to completely block OTA updates so I don't have to be annoyed with this anymore?

As soon as the 2.2 update was leaked for the Droid, I downloaded it and applied it to my phone, rather than keep waiting for Verizon to push it out weeks later. The update process went smoothly, and I have been running Froyo for a couple weeks now.
The problem is, now my phone bugs me with the OTA update notification constantly, and the only options I have are to install, or install later. I have no option to decline the update. Is there any way to tell android to stop attempting to apply the OTA update? I am surprised it is even trying, as its already running 2.2 so why would it still try and update? If it matters, I have rooted my Droid.

I heard that I can tell my droid to do automatic updates when ever an app needs it. I have searched for where I can adjust that setting but I have found nothing. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Everyday I see this forum, theres always an update from some dev, almost everyday. How do you guys deal with re syncing some fb contacts, organizing home screens, etc., over and over and over and over again? Plus, u lose all ur sms, call log, app settings, etc.

I usually will read the comments before I decide on downloading an app even if I already have an app and the comments are all negative I will not update the app. Now with that said, is there a way you can elect to IGNORE the update and wait for another one in the near future?

Well, it's being reported, however not confirmed that the Droid Incredible has finally been rooted.He's also reporting that he's OCed to 1.5GHz.What's more he's working on 2GHz.Good Lord, could you imagine?I've been saying that as of right now, based on personal preference, that a rooted Droid is the best option.But this will def start to sway opinions, including mine.

Ok not sure where I'm going wrong. Here's everything I have done. Starting with stock DX
- Used UniversalRoot to gain root access
- Installed and ran Titanium Backup, backup saved to SDcard
- Reran UniversalRoot and unrooted
- Flashed with SBF, seemed successful but my user data was still intact
- Booted to stock system recovery, wiped data/factory reset & wipe cache
- apply sdcard:update.zip
E:signature verification failed Installation aborted

OTA owned me, it failed and RSDlite says the SBF is not compatable, does anyone have a clockwork recovery backup file for a clean 2.1?
