[Thunderbolt General] Heelfan71:
yeah, I am rooted. have been for a while. I have flashed and used several roms/ kernals etc. The thing is, even if I reset the phone to factory it still does it. I went into Titanium, what or how do I find a bad install?? Is there something to look for?
[Thunderbolt General] KDKobes:
Possibly the ROM's included the app but have a bad install inside the ROM. I seen this issue with a couple apps specifically FLASH PLAYER. Which app are you having issues with?? When in Titanium Backup go to the Backup/Restore section and it should show all of your installed applications..scroll to see if the application you are trying to install is on the list...if so uninstall it. If this doesn't work its possible there is a previous apk file on your phone of this app which is corrupting the download which can be removed with an app like "ROOT EXPLORER" unfortunately it costs money. To do that you would venture into the system/app folder and delete the apk file if in fact there is one in there. To check to see if there is one most file explorers will allow you to go into these folders but you cannot access anything.
[Thunderbolt General] Heelfan71:
I have Root Explorer. Thanks. seems this is a common problem after searching google. No know solution as everyone has got theirs to work doing something different. I have not made any backups with Titanium as the roms I have used auto re-installed everything. I am wondering if it has something to do with that. Any time I flash a rom now, it says "starting download" for all my apps in the market. They never start though.
[Thunderbolt General] Heelfan71:
it's working now. not sure what I did though. :rolleyes: I wiped everything and flashed BAMF remix (what I was using originally) and when I went through the setup I did everything like I did before. Only thing I changed when swapping roms was I would not set up my HTC account in the setup.
[Thunderbolt General] DouglasB:
I'm not rooted (yet!) and I've been having the same problem with the market for the last two days. Probably half the apps I bought/downloaded hung on authorizing. When finally authorized it took quite a while to download and show under my apps. One took almost an hour to show up. Email notifications were also delayed. Tried clearing the cache but that didn't help...
[Thunderbolt General] kierandill:
Hey, hey hey! There is no reason for those to be mutually exclusive...
[Thunderbolt General] ktez:
I had that problem with everything I tried to download saying "download unsuccessful" - I tried everything but finally going into manage applications and clearing data from the download manager worked.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
Hi I have no Market to install any applications,it won't install anything through a PC connection and it's in a factory reset state. I did a lot of research and tried to re-install the vending.apk file which controls it through an adb command prompt but it then fails on the permissions. I have rooted the phone but at the moment is useless because I cant get it to install any other rooted applications! Can anyone help me solve my dilemma. I'm not very good when it comes to programming and coding and have learned all I know from forums. So at the moment all my Dell Streak is an oversized mobile phone! Regards, Tris. :(
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You rooted the phone. Did you delete the Market.apk by accident?

In any event, you should be able to get the Market.apk file here. Save it to your MicroSD card and then run it using a file explorer. That should fix your Market problem in the interim, although you would probably do better restoring your ROM.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
Tried to install that used 'Astro' all was well but when I run the market it says it stopped unexpectedly and asks me to force close.

Been trying to Restore Rom using this method,only problem is I cant find the fastboot-windows.exe to continue the flash:-

HOW TO RESTORE YOUR STREAK BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION:

1. Download the stock recovery ROM here and the stock official Dell ROM here.

2. Rename the stock official Dell ROM 'Update.pkg' and put it in the root directory on your SD card.

3. Boot Streak in fastboot mode (hold camera button when turning on), press 'Fastboot Mode' button, wait 10 seconds then connect to your PC (must have Dell PC suite installed).

4. Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where your 'fastboot-windows.exe' is stored.

5. Type 'fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery c:\recovery.stock.img' . Make sure the .img file is in c:\ directory. The program will now update the recovery image on your Streak.

6. Once the phone reads 'Recovery Done', remove the battery and insert it again.

7. Boot Streak in Recovery mode (hold down vol up and vol down when turning on) and select option 2.

5. Wait till it installs and it'll boot into Android....DONE!

Any ideas why it now force closes and where that fastboot file should come from?

Thanks again.:mad:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Questions:

1. You've rooted your streak. What recovery image did you use?

2. Did you go to /system/etc and change "install-recovery.sh" to "install-recovery.sh.bak"?

While the first question is mainly for curiosity, the second question is very important. It tells me whether the recovery image in question 1 actually stuck around or was replaced by the default recovery image.

For best results, look for multi-recovery flasher in the development forum and use that to restore a default recovery image to the Streak instead of doing it manually. It includes all the files you need, including the fastboot file. After that, go to the wiki and download an official ROM image from there.

I have no idea what is causing the force closes, and that is why I'm recommending starting fresh from a stock ROM in the first place.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
Thanks for your help, managed to get the job done. All that stuff wasn't necessary but appreciate the quick reply.:)

First I managed to download a Stock Dell o2-UK 2.2 Rom form the Dell website Here:- http: //cot.ag/fKoFRX

Then I followed another guide I found by changing the filename to 'update.pkg', putting it on the SD cards Root directory and booting into recovery Mode (Hold down both Volume buttons while powering on) selected the install form SD option and just let it do its work! Buzzing!!!:D

At least I can do this again in the future if things go wrong once more(I HOPE NOT)!!:eek: I can't help myself you see,i'm one of those people where the last thing I did just isn't enough!:rolleyes:

Once again thanks for the help and maybe I hope this could help someone else who needs a jargon free solution to a fresh stock install.Tris.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
In simpler language, your recovery image was a stock one, so you only had to follow the Dell standard procedure for replacing the ROM.

P. S. Use the thanks button if I was of help.

You have to set the APN in settings. Go to wireless, mobile networks or something similar. You'll see APN and go into it. Press the menu key, which is the start button, then press add APN. Enter th correct APN settings for your provider.

[Nook Color General] pingmustard:
I was able to get Verygreen's CM7 installation on a 1gb SD card working from SD boot. However, I'm now trying to install some APK via the web, but it complains "No SD Card" available. When I try to goto Storage Settings > Mount SD Card, I get an error saying SD card is damaged (weird since I havn't done anything w/but install CM7). Total internal storage reported is 525MB, I assume the remainder are in a secondary partition for data..

Any insight how I can get the SD card working?

:confused:
[Nook Color General] pingmustard:
BUMP? Is my only alternative to install to internal memory in order to use the SD card :??
[Nook Color General] Matchay:
Hi, I am not sure if this is the answer, but I looked into Verygreen's original thread:

"up to 1G cards gets: system of ~300M and data of the rest of space. No FAT partition"

Possibly that's the issue. I have a 8G card and been running CM7 off of it. Yesterday I installed the UMS utility apk from this forum by using Opera, downloading it to a folder, and then simply tapping it in a file manager.

Regards,

Maciej

hello, i have a question that someone may be able to help me with. i write roms to my phone all the time, but the one problem that i am having is that i loose my gps a lot of times. it will be working great for a while then something happens were i can't get it to lock in anymore. is there something i could do to keep this from happening.

any help would be great.. also once it does stop working is it a way to get it back without flashing something that will probably cause more conflicts.. i am only using froyo roms, no gingerbread.
[Android Software Development] xtracrispy69:
hey guys,

been looking around at android apk creation and there seems to be many languages and ways to get your program on an android device. Hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.

I"m looking to create an apk file that will never touch the marketplace. I want to custom load it on my devices. So here's what I'm looking to package. A folder containing a custom flash menu, with sub-files in the direct that are all flash. Now I do have the new flash 5.5 with the air for android extension, works like a charm.

What is the best way to get a full dir into an apk. Everything will be developed through flash, never java. any input would be great. Thanks!

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] angomy:
Running CM7 on SD, I have been using VitalPlayer Neon (free version) and it's been fantastic, so I thought I'd buy the Pro version to get rid of the ads that show up when the menu is visible.

Two big mistakes here: 1) I didn't read the reviews for the VitalPlayer Pro (non-Neon) when the Neon version only had 2 glowing reviews 2) I bought it and then went on to install/purchase/browse other apps during the 15-min tryout period thinking that there would be no issue since I've been using the free version without a problem.

Well, it won't start up. Or rather, it starts up, shows the playlist (blank) screen briefly, then quits out.

The overview for this app in Market says:

--------------------------

If it does not work after installation or the app closes in the filelist , please do this.

1. wifi off -> wifi on

2. 3G(first) or Wifi connection (If not connected, authentication process can not proceed.)

3. playback(hardware codec, software codec)

VitalPlayer Pro has been applied self-copy protection.

---------------------------------------------------

This doesn't work. I've tried it multiple times, and the damned thing apparently doesn't want to authenticate, or simply has some bug that prevents it from working like the free one.

Any suggestions? I'm so peeved at myself for not checking the app after downloading it -- I know it's only a few dollars but I could have spent that money on an app that actually does work on my Nook :(

(Edit: Tried checking the dev website and it's all written in Korean, which I can't read and only understand a little of.)

(Edit #2: Also, is this copy protection a one-time, cached check, or does it actually require an active internet connection every time the app is opened? That's going to be a problem considering that I want to be able to watch videos even when I don't have wifi access.)

[Atrix 4G General] amzter:
Hi guys I wanted to ask you atrix users about the phones speakers. This is very important to me my phone (nexus one) sucks in comparison to the iPhone 4 speaker. I recently was out at a busy restaurant and I had to take calls on my friends iPhone 4 because I couldn't hear a thing on my nexus (with pershoots audio boost kernel) to be honest I'm getting sick and tired of my phone now. I want somthing new and the atrix looks like the phone for me. One thing I need to to know betore buying it is if the speaker in call on the phone and the loud speaker is any better or similar to the iPhone 4 . I love android but I find myself finding more things the iPhone does better and for I need a phone that means I don't miss out on what my clients are saying. I really hate the iPhone I think its just a brand whores dildo but it can do the basic stuff my phone can do but does it better.
[Atrix 4G General] blunted09:
this pjone had the loudest speaker you will hear on a phone. That is one thing I def. Cannot complain about.
[Atrix 4G General] shashank_virgo:
+1. It has a pretty descent speaker. Its definitely louder than iPhone4
[Atrix 4G General] SwabZ:
The loud speakers are years ahead of the iPhones toy speakers.
[Atrix 4G General] airprakken:
Loudest speaker on any phone I have ever owned. I run it at half volume normally. At max volume it can get slightly distorted but is still understandable -- an excellent tradeoff for use in loud environments.

And using it as a speakerphone works great too. Very loud and even the mic seems to work fine for two people on opposite sides of a small table with the phone horizontal in the middle.
[Atrix 4G General] dubyajaysmith:
+1
[Atrix 4G General] iOSlulz:
Gonna add onto the thread, speakerphone is very loud...competes with my old blackberry bold

i was just gonna ask this: anyone know the code or hack to make the speaker louder?

FYI my samsung impression got a louder speaker with the code.
[Optimus V Android Development] cyansmoker:
There is already an excellent write-up on how to use SuperOneClick to root your Optimus V.

Unfortunately, you may not have a Windows machine available to run the util, or your PC hates the LG drivers, or you may wish to control how you go about rooting your device.

Hence this short write-up which, obviously, relies on pieces I got from that other write-up.

I. Rooting your device

1. You still need ADB!

2. Download the LG Optimus V Tools package from http://nexus.zteo.com/projects/tools/

3. Unzip it

4. Command-line:

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 psneuter
chmod 777 su
./psneuter

5. You should be kicked out of the shell

6. Command-line:

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
cat /data/local/tmp/su > /system/bin/su
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

(Oh look you are root!)

That's it. You now have permanent root access.

After rebooting your phone, adb should be back to logging you in as a regular user but typing "su" will do the trick.

Note: I realize that the version of SuperUser.apk that comes with SuperOneClick might be re-usable here. I haven't had any success with it but you may.

II. Flashing a new ROM

1. After rooting your device, obviously...

2. Get an image for the ROM you wish to flash...

Currently, my favourite one is a fairly recent version of Zefie's CM7.

You can find it by googling "update-cm-7-04282011-NIGHTLY-thunderc-Xionia-signed.zip" -- I will refer to it, below, as <your_rom_zip_file>

3. Get a minimum Google Apps package for flashing as well.

Here, I would google "gapps-gb-20110325-signed.zip" -- I will refer to it, below, as <your_gapps_zip_file>

3. Command-line:

adb push flash_recovery /data/local/tmp/
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb push Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip /sdcard/
adb push <your_rom_zip_file> /sdcard/
adb push <your_gapps_zip_file> /sdcard/
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/flash_recovery
/data/local/tmp/flash_recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery

4. In recovery: Flash Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip

5. In recovery: Wipe cache and dalvik-cache

6. In recovery: Flash <your_rom_zip_file> -- this will take a while

7. Do not reboot!

8. In recovery: Flash <your_gapps_zip_file>

9. Now, reboot.

10. Let your phone think about life for a few minutes

11. Select "Skip" when your phone asks you to create/enter your account info

12. Launch the market; now, enter your main account information

Hey first of all let me tell you that I appreciate this guide. Now my problem is that I am such a noob that I may be doing this wrong.I download the file to my optimus.Then in an explorer I extract it, correct? After that once I put in the first line of command on terminal emulator I get an error that says "adb: permission denied". Please help this guide is my last resort.Whatever I do I can not root through windows.It would be nice if you could explain in more detail every step. Thanks! :)
[Optimus V Android Development] thizizjohnny:
help

can u please add a little more detail thank u very much appreciated.
[Optimus V Android Development] cyansmoker:
SouthParkFan15:

adb is a tool that you run on your computer; it is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It is part of the Google SDK.

thizizjohnny:

Could you give me a little more detail regarding what detail you are interested in?
[Optimus V Android Development] thizizjohnny:
How do I unzip?.. is extract the same thing? I'm running Linux mint 10. How do I get adb? Excuse my noobness.
[Optimus V Android Development] thizizjohnny:
Oh and one last thing.. does this work on android version 2.2.1?
[Optimus V Android Development] cyansmoker:
Yes this works with 2.2.1.

On Linux Mint, you can use the package manager or the unzip command in a terminal window.

apk:

Download the SDK at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Install it, then run "android" and select "Install platform tools"
[Optimus V Android Development] SouthParkFan15:
I finally got adb on my system, but when I type in "adb devices" nothing comes up and when I do any command that involves the phone i get "error:device not found".Yes I have usb debugging on and yes I have all the right drivers installed and yes I have tried rebooting a million times, and no my computer has never recognized my phone the way it should.Let me also point out that though pdanet or droid explorer they can't find my device. Help please I'm desperate!
[Optimus V Android Development] cyansmoker:
Oh, my. Sorry to read that.

Problem is, in 2.2.x, the exploits that give you root access rely on ADB itself so you couldn't be more out of luck.

On second thought...this may seem a bit weird but there may be a way. I have to think about it. It would involve using a file manager that agrees to "see" /data/local/tmp, running psneuter from there and keeping our fingers crossed. I'll keep you updated.
[Optimus V Android Development] SouthParkFan15:
Alright thanks cyansmoke! Keep me informed.
