With my patched market I've not had a single issue since November, and I'm able to buy stuff. Yes, it's market 2.x, but since 3.x came out with the mandatory notify fiasco I'm really not interested in google's idea of 'upgrades'

* YMMV on signing: At least on deodexed froyo, the system will tolerate a modded /system/app with the original sig, and market will tolerate it's sig failure if altered as above. (Infact you can zip -u /system/app/Vending.apk classes.dex) LCD changer pro and others seem to go this route:

Modding Vending & GoogleServicesFramework apk

Hi all,

Came across THIS guide to modding the two mentioned apks to hard code dpi density into the apks for complete app compatibility on non-standard dpi handsets... Just thought I post this for anyone who would like to do the hacking/modding themselves... :D

Hope this helps?!... :P

THIS issue sucks!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] LordOfTheSnatch:
Is anyone else getting the "temporarily unavailable; try again in a few minutes" error? I've been getting it since Saturday. I'm on CM7 beta, but its worked previously.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Alcapone263:
go to apps, Amazon appstore, clear data. If that doesn't work just reinstall the appstore and it should work
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] LordOfTheSnatch:
Negative. Tried all that. Still getting this.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] gpagador:
Try going into amazon and go to your account and in the "Digital Content" section click on your apps and devices. Then in the manage section on the left navigation module click on your devices. I would delete all of the devices you have and just reinstall amazon appstore and sign in again. That fixed it for me. After so many reflashes and reinstalls i had way too many devices in the list i think that causes a problem.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] LordOfTheSnatch:
You are 100% right! Thank you. Back up and running.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zakiay:
Im running a rooted transformer overclocked with clemsyn kernel on 8.6.5.9 and i recently flashed the htc jetstream (puccini) system bar and it went without a hitch. Problem came when the new 8.6.5.13 update was released and i had to revert the mod in order to update. I made the mistake of just deleting the systemUi.apk from the /system/app folder by way of root explorer and after a series of force closes i reboot, only to find that i no longer have a system bar. I have tried to manually put the systemUi.apk that i pulled from a system dump back in the correct folder and reboot to no avail. Ive even tried to flash the puccini system bar again, but still no luck. Is there any way to get back the system bar without completely reseting the transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
the puccini mod only changed the button images not the system ui apk as a rule of thumb dont delete system apps. you do not have to revert an asthetic mod before flashing. Just re flash whatever rom you are on and you should be fine. also post in the correct section next time
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zakiay:
im on the stock rom, i was under the impression that i had to revert the mod i made to the systemui.apk because the update process would not work
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
if you made changes to the system ui then that means you are rooted if you are rooted you will not get the stock update. you just have to do it manually

go here and get the right one for your model "http://ca.asus.com/en/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download"
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zakiay:
tried to flash it through cwm but it wouldnt work i got,

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
K i would just suggest flashing a custom ROM like revolver or prime that will fix all of your issues or maby one of the repackaged firmwares

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1281161
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zakiay:
The repackaged firmware cannot be flashed without the systemui.apk fix and as for flashing a new rom will that erase all my data or will it stay intact?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrevankyle:
your data will stay there on a custom rom unless you clear data in cwm but always best to make a backup with titanium before you do it
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zakiay:
i just restored my asus to stock from the settings menu and after the process, still no system bar, cwm will not allow me to flash the update you posted above because it "cannot open it". Im not sure what else i can do, maybe somebody had the systemUi.apk i can put back in the correct folder or a flashable .zip
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockethot:
So I decided to go back to an Epic instead of an Evo. I had the Epic when it first came out up until around January. Last things I remember from the Epic development scene was Hero_Over and his Baked Snack Roms and Kernels. (what ever happened to him anyways?) I am obviously in no way familiar with the current crop of roms and kernels and would appreciate suggestions on where to start and I'll test combos to see what works best for me. Froyo and Gingerbread based Roms please.

Rebirth + Genocide, 38 hrs. moderate use........
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjroc007:
Syndicate frozen 1.2 and genocide 2.0 give me the best battery and stability so far, but random rom is a very close second, and then probably viper synergy 5.0. The gb leaks were good with battery too, but I had too many fc issues with them. I would love to try this baked snack I keep reading about though. I've seen a lot of random posts here and there mentioning it, and always boasting about the battery life on it. A pm with any info on its whereabouts would be greatly appreciated. Then again, syndicate 1.3 seems to be just around the corner too, so I'm really interested to see what's in store with that as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
I am hooked on random rom hawk, battery life is amazing. It usually only drops about 1-2% an hour for me sitting idle. I have heard urban warfare is very good on battery life as well. Gingerbread leak roms are still pretty unstable at this point though. Only try them if you have a good backup procedure down, and are prepared to get hit with force closes and random reboots at any given time. If you need the stability, stick with EC05 roms.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
I've tried several roms froyo and gb and the best battery and performance I seen was with randomroms 2.3. Rom but the random reboots kept pissing me off so I wentt to pheonix and its been pretty good I hadbetter battery life with hawk but this is better for now.

I also would like to try backed snack so if anyone has the url t the rom or anything can you please let me know

I found one rom a long time ago butit was 2.1 so I didn't like it I kno there is a froyo one but I can't find it anywhere if anyone has it it would be greatly appreciated if you shared it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
With some outlets, the wall charger can wack out the touchscreen.

Which ROM - we only have Cognition beta, CM7, and stock deodexed. If you flashed something from the I9100, who knows what it'll do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ngocdao:
It actually seems like the non oem charger+ usb debugging causes the wacky touchscreen...not the outlet..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I had it with an OEM charger combined with a Sears inverter.

I think it's anything that provides a noisy power supply interferes with the touchscreen controller.
[TouchPad Development] cellneuron:
Update (10/16):

The next release will be vastly improved. 0.1 alpha is just a card concept and may not be usable. This release will be usable and fix most unpleasant display issues. We will move to beta soon.

Please be advised, Alpha release is full of bugs and is advised NOT to be installed. It is up to you to take the risk and taste the concept.

Stay tuned, and IPK will be ready within 7 days.

Update (10/8):

The IPK is ready. You can check a screenshot here:

http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/large/6fa7488egw1dlvzcs7wxkj.jpg

Not be able to fix sound issue in this release. May still experience some screen flicking. Airplane icon is not removable, please just ignore it (some program may still report network issue).

There are still lots of work to do.

Downloading:

http://www.wupload.com/file/344498750

Update (10/06):

The last release is skipped since more candies are coming.

1. Fake SD card is mounted now. Programs need SD access can be run.

2. Wifi issue is solved. No network issues.

The author is working on sound issue and will wrap around in the next two days and release the next very alpha very soon.

Update (10/05):

I am not the author (

Chomper_T

) of this project. All information is copied from his blog.

The IPK is running in a card today (no need to implement hardware switches such as wifi, bluetooth or power), and you can manipulate this card like any other WebOS apps. Whether implementing one single card or multiple sub-cards like built-in browser is open to discussion. Will release the update soon.

The next update will be openGL, which will improve multimedia performance.

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

Still in

Alpha

. (10/04)

Discussion:

http://www.treo8.com/bbs/thread-264215-1-1.html

Download:

http://115.com/file/aq7ufs34#chomper.app.android_0.0.1_all.ipk

The IPK file is about 81MB, and need more than 5 mins to be installed via preware only. Just be patient and will do no harm to your Webos.

Authors blog:

(You need a weibo account to access.)

http://weibo.com/chomper

Limits:

0. Initial language is Chinese only. You can switch language in settings (may need some tries and guess :) ).

1. Wifi switch is not working. Using webos Wifi switch. The network will always show airplane mode, but you can use the browser now.

2. Single touch so far.

3. Keys: Home: home, Power: power, Volume upper: back, volume down: menu

4. The whole IPK runs as OS so far, and will run in a card in next release.

5. SD card is not mounted so far, so any program using SD card will not work.

6. Usable space has only 11MB left, therefore any big APK will not work.

7. No google market so far. Put your apks in /APKS folder when you mount your tablet as a USB drive.

8. All other things do not work so far.

In order to go back to webos, you need "press and hold" the power button for 5 secs and then select the third option.

If the touchscreen does not work, you can reboot by pressing "home + power" for 15 secs.

Don't worry, all things will be fixed quickly since there is no hardware or big driver issues here.

What EXACTLY is VM heap & what does it do?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blind2314:
It's the largest chunk of memory that a single instance of an application (ran through the Dalvik VM) can obtain. There's also a corresponding minimum setting. It works much the same way as passing the Xmin and Xmax parameters to a java VM when launching it from the command line.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ups2525:
relative to battery life?

Thats awesome...thx for responding!

*Does the size of the VM heap have an effect on battery life? If yes then how?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scheatyj:
My brain tells me yes, a little, through logic.

If it can utilize more memory, that means more information passing through more locations, but it shouldn't be to significant.

You messing around in your build.prop?

I took a peak at mine last night, and the heap is set at 64m in unl3ashed, or blurred, or whatever th3ory is calling his rom now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MillionManMosh:
Virtual Machine heap most directly influences battery life in terms of how often your phone will perform what's called 'garbage collection', or trimming your apps' memory usage.

A higher heap size means an app can use more space before getting cut, so it can improve your battery life a little bit as garbage collection uses CPU and thus battery. It *can* negatively impact the performance of smaller apps as it will allow the more demanding ones to 'hog' your memory resources. On a superphone like the Bionic it's not likely to hurt, but on, say, a Galaxy S (or the Charge, which I came from) with 512MB of RAM, 120mb of which was actually user accessible, it made a difference.

Short version: with a phone with 1GB of RAM, higher is *probably* better for battery life and won't have much impact on performance. YMMV.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] admorris:
Vm heap tool is a great app to use to experiment with heap sizes if you are rooted. Check it out
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ups2525:
Thx!

[Android Themes] chopper the dog:
This is something that has annoyed me ever since getting into themeing. But I have never seen it mentioned on any forum until now, as to why what I explain here happens.

So you flash a new rom and everything is peachy and looks a little like the cap below. Clock, am/pm, and date are in the right spot.

*image pulled from google

But I have always hated that clock font. So the next step is to flash a theme or one of the 300 flash able font packs in hopes of getting rid of the annoying clock font.

*images pulled from google

WTF!!! happen to the placement of my clock and date is what you're thinking. Why did the date drop? Why is the am/pm off line with the clock now? And you just settle for it because it's cooler than the original font anyway.

But I didn't want to just settle. So it appears that the original clockopia ttf file is formated differently than your average ttf font file. And it has been a common practice to take your favorite font and rename it clockopia and push to device. But that's where the placement of fonts on the lock screen becomes skewed.

So this is where a font editor comes in to play. You can see the "real" clockopia font opened at the top and DroidSans opened at the bottom. I simply took all like characters (0~9 :,a,m,p) from the DroidSans font and placed within the clockopia ttf. Once saved and pushed to device. I had finally overcome the little annoyance of using custom fonts without a "properly" edited clockopia ttf.

*personal caps of my result

You can see the end result of the clockopia ttf being edited on the right. Hope this helps anyone understand why things get skewed with using "average" ttf font files to replace clockopia.

good day.
