[Q] [CM10.1] Can't install Evernote, error -24, other crashing apps?

[kschang]

I'm trying out CM10.1 JB using Safestrap, and I'm having some problems, the worst of which is I can't install Evernote.

I was using the CM10.1 Targa, the 4-15 afternoon "nightly build", with latest GApps (the one dated 20130315)

It downloads the latest from Play Store, then gives an "error (-24)" in the notification, and the install aborts. Then the notification went away and there's no evidence of I ever tried to install it.

I've seen similar messages from some of the apps I ran fine on 4.0 ICS (official) like SeeCPU but I can live without those. But I need Evernote. (the website ain't the same)

I've also have problems with Play Books and Drive / Docs, and Play Music. I've reset data on those three apps but they refuse to work (and also ate up my battery life). So right now they are uninstalled. Play store initially crashed but after a data reset worked fine.

What is error -24?

Here's a screenshot of the error.

I've since noticed that Pulse (the news reader) won't install either, same error.

ROM Manager just quits immediately after run

Same thing happened with the 0420 build.

I got the Play Music problem resolved by uninstalling the app then going into Play Store to install it from scratch. There's some old settings cached that's cuasing problems. Not even clear data will solve this. had to be full uninstall / install.

Google Books got the same -24 install problem.

A full factory reset and wipe / reinstall made the problem go away. So at least now someone knows what NOT to do.
