Tried several markets, uninstalled all of them. Market worked at first, however it was old market and I couldn't search. Uninstalled and tried new ones and every singles one opens/closes. When I first install a Vending.apk it goes through terms & conditions, after accepting them it closes.
I've seen this problem. Removing market-related files from /data/data and /data/dalvik-cache seems to have fixed that.
Thanks, will try that. Hard to find a legitimate way to side-load file explorer apps exploring through adb
only found one reference to Vending.apk in data/dalvik-cache - deleted it, reinstalled Market and no go.

So yes, Titanium Backup and the deletion of google talk are at it again. This time I actually knew I shouldn't delete then brain farted and did it anyway. So here lies my marketless and FC gapps everytime I pull the market app up.
For the record I searched as best as possible for a solution and the closest I got was a link for gtalk and the Evo 4G, and needless to say it still doesn't work, the market and the force close gapps.service still happens after re install
A solution without a flash and re-root is preferred, please educate the new guy! Thanks for the record I know I'm a jack wagon lol.
Search these forums (or Google) for Fascinate System Dump. It will have whatever files you deleted.
So dump files obtained. Is this is simple drag and drop to the OS or do I need a program on the computer to be able to interface with the filesystem on the Fascinate?
Bare with me guys, while I bring myself up to speed on tearing through the Andriod OS, hacking windows is one thing - tearing apart my phone for the first time - thats a whole nother ball game for me.

So I did that, finally got the files onto my phone and reinstalled all the google.apks including ones that were already existing on the phone.
To no avail I still get the gapps Force close and I'm still unable to download from market after restoring Google Talk Service.
Any help or a simple suggestion would be appreciated - been trying this all day with no success.
I'm not sure if you "installed" the apps or if you placed them back in their proper folder(s), but my guess is that any app you had pre-installed which you deleted was previously in the /system/app folder. The dump has all the files in this folder. You don't need to re-install these files, you need to just copy them back to the /system/app folder.
When you download and install an app, it will install to /data/app. If you "installed" the files rather than copying them back to /system/app, that may be the problem.
On a side-note, this is why I like to move files from one folder to another rather than use Titanium Backup to delete apps/files.
Don't forget to reboot your phone after you copy the files back to /system/app.
Lastly, I'm not responsible for what you break.

Roger that side note - that will be my new policy when managing files.
As far as the clarification - I have been indeed installing the apps instead of moving them to the appropriate location - I guess the difference in installation location never occurred to me. Thank you in advance for the heads up and I'll report my success or failure, hopefully success after i get out of work this evening.
Don't worry if I brick I won't hold you accountable - after all I'm the one who deleted Google apps from the Andriod phone. LOL, In hindsight it was a terrible Idea.
Since upgrading to Froyo via Obsidian v2.2 I am no longer able to see protected apps in the Marketplace, so I've been trying to edit build.prop, but with no success.
If I delete, move, or make any changes at all to build.prop it is immediately 'restored' to its original settings. If I try to overwrite in Root Explorer, I am given a permissions error and the overwrite fails.
I've seen similar posts in other threads, but have not found a resolution posted anywhere.
Edit: I would install "Eris Market Fix" from the Marketplace but I've read many too comments from Vibrant users that indicate the app can have disastrous results.
Edit x2: Hmm it would appear can't do *anything*, at least via Root Explorer. I just tried removing some bloatware in /system/app like normal, but once I reboot everything is restored right back the way it was before the change. Very frustrating. This means no changing audio notifications or boot/shutdown media either.
Found Resolution
Had a bad install of BusyBox.
Check my comment in this thread.
So I've mounted the phone, used adb to delete com.amazon.mp3.apk and Twitter.apk. To check, I "ls" the directory directory (/system/apps) and it shows they're gone - but when I reboot they're still there.
I finally got fed up and downloaded Titanium Backup and used that to delete the same two apps. Was told delete was successful... but when I reboot the phone, they are still there!
Why can't I get rid of these annoying apps - I keep running out of space, so they're sucking up valuable real estate. What do I do??!!
Is there a hidden apk file somewhere? Is there some file that prevents them from being delete? Do I need to do something like Empty Trash?
not sure normally when i delete apps with Titanium they never come back
use systemapp remover. works like a charm
SystemApp Remover Doesn't Work
I get a message saying "File couldn't be deleted, try again."
I guess this is validating in some way - indicates there's something truly weird going on.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks!
I have used systemapp remover before and got the same error, just try it a few more times and it usually works. I think it is an issue with it getting root access to slow.
Still no Luck - Stock Apps still in there...
Grrr....! So I've used titanium backup, stockapp remover - as suggested by previous poster, I tried over and over and over again to delete via stockapp remover, but with no success...
Help! Why are these annoying apps STUCK FOREVER in my phone! One of the main reasons I rooted was to get rid of them... soooo frustrating!
Does anyone have a clue why I cannot delete them?
Thanks again.
Seems that the links from the menu to the apps aren't being deleted when you remove the .apk. Try running "pm uninstall <program name>" from either terminal or adb shell.
Running cm7. Had a bad glitch so I did factory reset. Now I can't really install the apps I already paid for like quickoffice. Market doesn't even give me the option to purchase or install it again. What now?
Probably an issue with the newer market. Search around the forums and you'll see several fixes for this (uninstall market updates, pixel density change, etc).
go to manage apps, and uninstall updates for the Market. If that works as it did for me with Nightly 166, I used ES File Explorer to rename MarketUpdater.APK file. I'm sure you'll find this suggestion somewhere else.

You can also uninstall the marker updater app and it will go away. No need to rename the apk file and leave it on your Nook.
Recently flashed Malice v5. Now get message that I have to update swype which requires uninstalling except that under app management there is no option under swype to uninstall. I unistalled the installer and deleted the apk. What else can I do?

Got to system/lib/
Delete libSwypeCore.so
Rerun Swype installer.
you can use titanium backup to uninstall it.
then when you install it through the installer, it will show up in manage apps in settings.
Thanks jneal9 but I can not delete the file. I have Astro and File Expert. Neither worked.
Thanks funeralthirst. Was able to uninstall but I still need to delete the .so file
after much searching I found an alternative to root explorer- super manager. was able to delete the .so file
Thanks for the help. I learn something new everyday.

Try root explorer, astro can't access the file.
I was trying to install the lastest swype beta apk following almost all the steps above (I didn't erased the files, only renamed them) but wasn't successful, is there any other way? I'm using ES Explorer (with Root Explorer option checked)
The above mentioned steps worked for me:
-uninstall with Titanium
-delete the libswypecore.so file
I used Super Manager for the root explorer. Search marketplace for this. It's free and Root Explorer is not. In either of them you need to change the permissions of the file from r/o to r/w (read only to read write).
The thing with Titanium is that once before i've tried to install a new email app, so I used this Titanium to uninstall it first and when i've run the installer it showed "Application Not Installed" no matter how many times I excuted it, and this totally messed my phone up, I had to odin back to stock!
So, in this case is safe to unistall Swype and the installer apk won't give that error?
I make no guarantees but what is mentioned in this thread works. And, as I've learned the hard way, you should make a backup of your phone before flashing anything.
Follow the above steps. Not only remove the AOL but also the file"kinetoscope.so". Use root explorer or super manager to do this.
It seems like it's alot of work but once you have everything you need it goes fast. Searching for the answer is the hardest part.
Sent from my SGS-t959 using XDA App
ok 2 things
1. ES File Manager (Root explorer for free on market
2. when you uninstall Swype using Titanium Reboot phone before reinstalling Swype. Same with most applications. Rebooting clears out the temp files that can corrupt a reinstallation.
Hi,
I've only had an android phone for a month or two (Samsung Galaxy S2, 2.3.3 Gingerbread, not rooted)
I have the same problem removing swype with no 'uninstall' option (trying to update to new version). All of these solutions seem to require a rooted droid, is that the case or have I misunderstood?
Can anyone offer a solution that does not involve rooting?
Thanks!

If Swype came preinstalled you won't be able to remove it without root.
Thanks for your reply jneal9. Swype did not come pre-installed on my phone, I had to download the beta to be able to use it.
However, after I updated the Swype Installer (so that I could then update Swype itself) it gives the message "Sorry, the Swype Beta is currently unavailable for devices that have Swype preinstalled" (which it definitely did not).
Is this something that anyone has come across before? I'm a bit surprised that it seems like this application (although I do realize that it is a Beta) cannot be uninstalled without rooting the phone!
Thanks!
This also happened to me when i was on malice v5. i tried everything to get swype back but to no avail. i switched from that to miui because malice will soft boot while ur on the phone when u have 30% or less battery.
I had the same problems and hopefully this will help others: first I had tried to restore Swype from Titanium and got Force Closes. Then, I downloaded a new version of Swype and after deleting the old installed: "Application Did Not Install" then I went to /system/lib and saw that libswypecore.so was NOT there. So after many combinations of the above recommendations, I finally did this: deleted all traces of Swype, rebooted phone, used Root Explorer to change /system/apps to R/W, copied the latest Swype in, ran the install (success), then EXTRACTED the libswypecore.so from the Swype.apk and manually copied to /system/lib and changed the permissions to the recommended settings above. Worked! No Swype alerts me to a new version, I download within Swype, it asks to replace, I say yes, and the installation fails! At least the version I loaded still works.
