[Epic 4G General] mnanez5280:
Ok, maybe I need to clarify a bit...

I haven't "purchased" any apps from the Android Market or the Amazon App Store. I've downloaded numerous free apps.

I would imagine paid apps get re-linked... but what about the free apps you've purchased?

I've been playing around with ROMS... so after every wipe, I go in to the market... and nothing is there.

If this is a feature in Gingerbread, it will be awesome. I would never worry or hesitate to wipe my phone if I had an issue. It isn't downloading the apps that bother me, it's searching for each one individually.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
For some reason the epic doesnt have the back up data thing that aosp phones do.

When you sign in, it automatically redownloads and installs everyapp you had installed.

Also, on market.android.com you can see everything youve downloaded and install it by hand.

I agree that its stupid the epic is missing that feature. My hero running cm6 has it
[Epic 4G General] awesomo4308:
DK28 had the app restore feature, not sure why it was removed since.
[Epic 4G General] mnanez5280:
Wow, never knew about this. So if I wipe my phone, I can log into market.android.com and it will redownload all of my apps for me? As nice as it would be to have it all on the device, logging in to the website isn't bad at all!
[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
A lot of the reviews of the Amazon Appstore never seem to mention what I personally think is a killer feature: sorting and filtering.

At any step of the way, you can choose to only view 3+/4+/5+ star apps, among other options. As soon as I heard about the new store, before it even came out, I had high hopes for sorting, knowing it's one of the great features of Amazon.com.

Google tends to shun sorting/filtering in favor of typed search queries. You can see this in the almost religious devotion to search in gmail, where sorting by anything but date is impossible without using a third party client--and this limitation is vehemently defended by Gmail supporters.

In this regard, I think Amazon will remain on top. I just don't see Google backpeddling on this philosophy, and the Android Market will remain dominated by algorithms and search queries.
[Epic 4G General] klbjr:
A little off topic but Sense 2.0 ROMS do that also. I've been running Myn's and Mik's Desire Z ports on my Evo and whenever you log back in with your Gmail account all of your apps, paid and free, automatically start downloading to the phone. Pretty neat feature.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Yep, got a Wifi Xoom today, and sure enough about 90% of my installed apps came over...all of my purchased apps are available for redownload.

Same thing happened when I switched from HeroC to Epic.

This re-download was a new feature of 2.2, and you have to have 2.2 and be going to 2.2+ to restore. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zolah:
Right guys,

Im trying to list the apk's in /data/app through adb so i can pull one of them!

I keep getting an error opendir failed permission denied!

BUT!!! I can get into /system/app fine with no problems.

Im running darkyy's 9.5 with his new kernel. Could this be a problem?

Its strange how i can get in system/app but not data/app

I have never had this problem in the past.

C:\Users\Paul>cd c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools

c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>adb shell ls /data/app
opendir failed, Permission denied

c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
Either :

adb root

adb shell ls /data/app

or

adb shell

su

ls /data/app

Reason /system is accessible is because system is ro by default. So they allow you to browse it knowing u won't be able to do anything w/o root. Whereas /data is rw and hence they restrict you, unless you have root.

Fyi : Wrong section to ask questions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zolah:
I am rooted with superuser...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
The default superuser timeout is 10 secs, either increase it or keep looking at your screen.

PS : Have you tried a an app called Mount R/W? works great.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
Im confused, what are you implying by that response ?

To me that statement was equivalent to "The sky is blue"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zolah:
..... sigh

You was telling me that i have to have root and su to be able to poke around in /data... i said i am rooted with su obviously as im on custom rom...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
Yes, but by default, if u dont run

adb root....ur not running the shell in root mode

Also on most roms if u run :

adb shel

u'll see $......

when u type su

u see #

So to enter # mode u need root but still need to execute either adb root or adb shell n then su.

Hope that clears it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tomeks:
install android commander and forget about command line for simple listing and coping tasks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zolah:
This is what i get ...

C:\Users\Paul>cd c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools

c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>adb root
adbd cannot run as root in production builds

c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>adb shell
/ $ su
su
ls /data/app
ls /data/app
Permission denied
/ $ ls /data/app
opendir failed, Permission denied
/ $
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
I dont see a # anywhere in there...

Are u accepting the dialog on ur phone when u type su ?

There shud b a popup on ur phone once u do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Woolf:
Am I being daft or is root explorer 10 times easier than using adb for this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
Maybe he's trying to learn how to navigate using adb. Very useful skillset to acquire imho.

But yes for general purpose, a gui is better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zolah:
the plot thickens...

Ill fill you guys in from the start in a short story..

Updated to darkyy v9.5 from v9.3

I thought the phone went a bit funny when it loaded the first boot as on the boot animation it vibrated like crazy and the animation started again as it was going to loop but then the phone loaded...

Been using the phone a few days and everything fine and wanted to pull an app from /data/app

All the above stuff happened and it wouldnt let me.

I thought something wasnt right so i took out the battery for a few minutes and put it back in and went into download mode and plugged my phone into computer to see of odin would still recognise it ok...

My windows vista computer started installing device drivers???? ive had this phone 7 months and plugged in about 100,000,000 times lol

Odin recognised my phone so i rebooted and tried again and now it works fine...

Something weird going on there which is concerning me with it installing new drivers... :confused:

This is what i get now and used to get before when i used adb...

C:\Users\Paul>cd c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools

c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>adb shell ls /data/app

Thank you for all the responses by the way...

Any one have any idea what could have happened?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zolah:
For what i was doing no because i wanted to just quickly pull an apk, decompile it and edit something and compile it and push it back...

I know how to navigate with adb very well. I just couldnt figure out why i was being blocked from entering /data/app...

I even have a video tutorial in my sig that i made showing how to use adb and its commands...

Seems a quick battery pull did the trick although i still now dont know why new drivers where auto installed on reboot to my pc :confused:
[HTC 7 Pro] dpeavy:
Okay, so i have the HTC Arrive now, and i really like the phone, great UI, Amazing keyboard, not as quick on the data as my LG Quantum but still fast, but the Gmail, i dont know what is going on with the gmail on here, i have my gamil signed into my Quantum with no problem, but when i try to sign in to the app and have my gmail on my arrive it tells me that the info is incorrect... :confused: i really am getting frustrated with that :/

any oppinions or ideas?

Ive taken the battery out and deleted the gmail acct off the phone, yet still no gmail...

How can i fix this?
[HTC 7 Pro] 92GTA:
Are you just setting it up as an exchange account on the phone or using some gmail app from the marketplace?

I'm using gmail simply via exchange and it works no problem.
[HTC 7 Pro] bdotr:
I had this same problem when I first got my Arrive. Needless to say it frustrated the CRAP out of me. I tried everything and after several resets and whatnot I finally figured the solution, it's not the most desirable but it worked for me.

I had to change my gmail password on a computer or IE on the phone, then try. It then worked and I changed my password back and updated the account info on my phone.

Try this and let me know if it works for you!
[HTC 7 Pro] jaqual:
It does that the first couple of times, each time giving you more options to change, but on the third time it will give you the option to set the Exchange server address(m.google.com). As soon as you put that in and retry it connects and starts syncing. I haven't figured out how to set the server address without first failing twice.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] General_Grant:
Is there russian lang pack in this rom?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] D.i.v.e.r.s.a.n.t:
Have you installed this ROM? =)

If yes, is there russian lang pack?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dik-m:
Russian translation is missing
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SaOSsinX:
To the russian friends, the translation of the russian language is in work ...

I will update it on the next release . in a few days ...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
Hi SaOSsinX!

Thanks for your efforts in giving us full language support! But is it really impossible to add languages via xrecovery?

Because if you provide full ROM, you'll have to add and reupload your ROM with every update by Trip (who is already at 2.9.1 - see what i mean ;)). And (no offense) it seems a little weird to release the exactly same ROM only plus extra languages as a separate project. I know you said you cannot make an update file, so really no offense to you. But what exactly is the problem? I can't download right now to look into the archive, so what files do you have to overwrite/change to add languages?

Cheers

qwer23
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SaOSsinX:
Hi qwer23

you are right, i don´t wan´t to update every week a full rom.

In near future i will upload only the framework and app files, then we can flash it with Xrecovery !

cheers

Any chance to rtl ? arabic ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SaOSsinX:
Any chance to rtl ? arabic ?

the plan is to add the arabic language. I need some time for it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] puntoflo:
Hello everybody,

French language is possible ???

Thanks for all
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SaOSsinX:
Yes its possible, please give me some time for it...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
Hi

Can`t you just upload the language files?

at least we can use them despite there`s no xrec file;)

Thanks, this was much needed!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Cool man. I've had people asking me.. and I've seen people asking for your help in your thread. Hopefully people will start referring people to this... always looking for ways to improve, so please PM/post your suggestions everyone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
All the effort into this post... no responses other than BT *who gets bugged relentlessly on this topic* AND I still see people posting Qs on how to metamorph. I am losing faith, ha.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jRi0T68:
Don't lose faith. I've always wondered wtf metamorph was, and now I know. Perhaps now I'll try it out when I see a morph I like.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Melvin|:
I think even me can benefit with this app eventhough i know a lil about metamorph...thankx..ill read a lil when i get home since my sexy vibrant is running on 2 % on battery lols.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] learn2swim96:
This is the 3rd thread of yours that has been amazingly helpful to me!!! I'm very new to all of this but you seem to write everything up so that I can understand it. ROMs for Dummies or somesuch. LOL!! I'm sure lots more noobs like me appreciate it and maybe they're scared to jump into the light. :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Ha, I appreciate it man. Glad to know this thread helped somebody!

Next guide I write may be steps to flash CM7... maybe.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexm557:
Thanks alot man this guide really cleared things up for me!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Awesome man, thanks for saying so.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapdog101:
Thanks for the Guides. They have helped a lot for a Noob like me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Ha, this thread is a blast from the past that never caught traction. Glad that it helped man.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vibrantnew-b:
You always offer a lot of helpful information, thank you! I understand this a little bit better but I guess i'm still a bit confused. If I find say a battery mod I like in another rom how do I go about creating a metamorph?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Probably the best resource is the guide done by the app developer, you can find it HERE

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CagedChimp:
Thanks for the post. Made this much easier to understand.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:

last time i tried this my phone froze and i had to do a nandroid restore, hopefully attempt number two works. i may attempt zipthemer too? not sure yet
[XPERIA X8 General] BehradGH:
i have the problem with this ****in xRecovery, when i wanna restore roms with it MD5mismatch error . and funny thing is that i back up rom and after that when i wanna restore that give me the same error. and sometimes in update custom zip i get BAD FILE error !!!!!!

i flashed 2.1.1 and 2.0.1 and still having this ... !!
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
Maybe you have damaged sd card.

I had some problem when i turned on phone it says sd card damaged and freeze but before freeze i got force close of programs on sd card,i solved my problem turning on phone without sd card and insert it later after reboot it is detecting sd card but APPS ARE NOT WORKING!!! the only apps that are working was in internal memory and need locate my app2sd folder and install every single app AGAIN!!! but data was saved.I think your problem is damaged sd card.
[XPERIA X8 General] 72andrew72:
maybe dumb question but did you not renamed the folder which created xrecovery? i mean that with date like 2011-03-27.17.20.26

.. when i renamed it, it writed md5missmatch :)
[XPERIA X8 General] kirilito:
If you have renamed the folder, you should not use any spaces. The "mismatch problem" also appears when you change from different ROMs, when one uses NAND (without the laughing droid logo) and the other xRecovery (with the logo).
[XPERIA X8 General] LuisDias:
Save the files that you have and format your SD Card.. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Englewood12:
Well Im very new at this even though ive had my hd2 for almost a year now. my digitizer went out and im getting a replacement phone sooon. anywho im not a fan of the stock ROM and i want something faster without all the applications like barnes and noble and all that. ive looked around at the Roms but i have no idea what im looking at!!! can yall help me out?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
It would be better to test it yourself, then you can decide which one is suitable for you ;)

For me, LIA rom is my favorite :) but the development was halted :(

Energy and Elegancia are my favorite now :)

Cheers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Englewood12:
I gotcha yeah i was just trying to figure out which one has gotten rid of all the stupid "Stock apps" that it comes with. haha the last phone i modified was the old tmobile shadow... but i was looking at the energy and it seems pretty good to. which one seems to be the most stable?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Any of the Energy ROMs are stable and smooth and has all that stuff you were talking about out of them. I have tried three of them myself. I have not tried the Elegancia ROMs yet, might be my next tested ROM though.:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Englewood12:
Ok cool thanks the energy one will probably be my first ROM then
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Energy are good, the older 23699 is my favourite as sense version seems very stable & 23699 is more compliant to older apps in terms of page scrolling.

Any of the Energy ROMs should be a good, my HD2 is close to perfect thanks to Energy & XDA
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbee:
Hi!

Dutty's ROMs and Miri's ROMs are also well. At those ROMS the stock philosophy is required :) so you got a clean and very-very similar result as at Stock ROM only difference is that any annoying issues are gone

[General Questions and Answers] Husband:
I once attempted to install the trial for Guitar Hero 5 on my LG Optimus 7 (Telus). The install failed or didn't complete... it was a while ago so I don't really remember what happened.

Guitar Hero 5 is not installed currently, or at least not entirely. It does not appear in my list of Apps.

The problem is now there's an update present in Marketplace for the app that I don't have. See the below screenshots for details:

This is what it looks like when I look in Marketplace now. Notice the 'blank' update:

If I press on that update, it brings me here:

And then if I press update, I get Error Code; 8000ffff:

Any idea how I can remove the traces of Guitar Hero 5 so that it doesn't try to install that update every time I press on Update all?

I know I can update Apps individually, but I'd like to have this running properly.
[General Questions and Answers] Omnichron:
use titanium apps remover. freeze it then wipe then uninstall. that should cleanup you system from any trace of guitar hero crapware.
[General Questions and Answers] Husband:
I would if I was running Andriod :P

I suppose I forgot to mention I am running Windows Phone 7. I checked the Windows Marketplace for something similar, just in case, but it doesn't look like they make a Windows Phone 7 equivalent.

May I recommend the the following?:

yes... cliky on it.. clicky...lol:)

"Windows Phone 7 Manager"
[Droid X General] GTablet:
Just read this on MyTabletLife.com

Another big rumor hitting the interwebs over the past few days is that Android tablets that are currently running Android 2.x will not see Honeycomb upgrades. According to Eldar Murtazin, writing for Mobile-Review, Google has licensing agreements specifically preventing manufactures from upgrading to Android 3.0 on their devices. This will come as bad news for those with the current Samsung Galaxy Tab.

NotionInk has stated several times that they will be upgrading their Android 2.2 tablet to Honeycomb, so maybe the smaller manufactures did not have these agreements in place. The HYC Flyer hasn’t even released yet, and it comes with Android 2.3, and a tablet version of their Sense UI. If this announcement is true I could see many consumers skipping the Flyer as it will never see the tablet version of Android.

Looking around the web. Found an extended battery but do anyone know if they make one to fit the stock back cover? If not and.only the extended bulk one is the way. Do they make any silicone cover for.it also?

[Fascinate Accessories] joshnichols189:
Wasn't aware of the mah difference.. just knew of this battery and thought it'd help
[Fascinate Accessories] imnuts:
yeah, most stock sized batteries anymore have very little increase in mah as the stock batteries have about the greatest safe energy densities they can. It's probably the largest stock sized battery you'll find for our phone.
