[Wildfire Themes and Apps] VigiDroid:
You must be trying to open up a .xml file that hasn't been decompiled yet. Try using apktool again to decompile all the contents of the app and then you should be able to open all .xml files correctly.

hi VigiDroid,

thanks for all the work you do for our wildfires. ive tried, unsuccessfully to use apktool a few times so i can learn how to resize apps. i cant even get to open apktool.

i downloaded the apktool1.4.3.tar.bz2 and apktool-install-wind...,tar.bz2 and unpacked them onto a folder on my desktop (windows xp). in the tut you say to install apktool, i assume you mean to open the tar files to a folder?

when i open a command and try and run apktool i keep getting a syntax error message. i have the apktool ms-dos batch file and executable jar file with the aapt file in a folder on my desktop called (not very originally :D) "apktool" so i typed into the command box

cd/C:\Documents and Settings\KnK\Desktop\apktool/apktool

as instructed in your tut ie cd /install...dir../apktool. install directory being C:\Documents and Settings\KnK\Desktop\apktool.

any help would be appreciated. ive attached a screen shot of the command promt

Here's a couple of guides I followed in the beginning. First one is for setting up java, adb http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=879701

Second is for apk multi tool, it used to be apk manager, install this after setting up java and the Android-sdk, its basically apktool but with a gui. Great tool for beginners.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310151

There is another one I used for just setting up apktool but I can't find it so have a crack with the multi tool.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protohamster:
I would like to install the CM7.1 Stable that just came out. I've read the cyanogenmodwiki instructions and the instructions here, but I find both to to be confusing and conflicting with each other. I also watched the mobiletechvideo.com installation youtube.

I am wondering if the following would work.

From JFD Stock 2.1 root the phone and download Rom Manager.

In Rom Manager Flash Vibrant MTD (not Galaxy S Vibrant) Clockworkmod Recovery

Boot into recovery.

Wipe/format and fix permissions

Flash Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable +gapps

Reboot.

I am confused though, in the cmwiki instructions it says to format - but if I format everything won't the cm7.1 zip file on the internal SD also be destroyed?

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
No, that would be a good method. It will still be on your sd, weeping doesn't format your card. (formatting your card would, different things).

Technically, you could Odin to jfd, take the cm7.1 download and my option b update.zip (noob guide) and that's all you need... Move those 2 to your internal.

Odin

Let it boot

Hold in both volumes + power

At Vibrant screen (booting) release

Now in stock recovery, reinstall packages

Now in cwr, flash 7.1

Reboot

done.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protohamster:
so no need to worry about the whole RFS vs YAFFS conundrum?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
What issue? Even the main man himself (atinm) gives you both install methods.. The steps above are tested and work, much faster also. You could be booting 7.1 in under 10 minutes.

Looks like a nightly is already out too. I'd go stable.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DmitriyKRiM:
Hi everybody!

When I bought SGSII, it had 2.3.3. I did not root it.

Then I installed Cyberon Voice Commander and I could not launch it as default through my "Samsung HS3000 bluetooth headset" as Voice Command app started as default.

I asked this forum for help to solve it, somebody helped me and I solved it (I lost this thread and I cannot find it).

Recently I upgraded SGSII to 2.3.4 (officially through Kies) and problem with Voice Command returned.

Can somebody please tell me again how to disable Voice Command as default to set Cyberon Voice Commander as default?

P.S. I solved it on non-rooted device so I hope to solve it again with no-rooting.

Thanx in advance!

In this evo thread someone also noticed that turning sound off on nav fixes the fc's (also mentioned in an epic thread).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090186&page=130

They think its linked to tts, which is removed in several rom's, any thoughts?

Edit::: Ill get the desktop page # and xda app page # later if the link dosn't take you directly there, I would now, but I'm at work.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I don't use the stock robot. I use the British lady from SVOX.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
Ok, but since all of my ROMs, and anderson's Simply AOSP v4 exclude tts and some language files, I'm wondering if its the problem. I don't even think NAV uses the missing files, but maybe they need to be in place.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It uses the stock tts so you may need to copy that back in. Push to system/app. Pull it out of the deodexed stock rom.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
Thanks man, but I guess I'm really looking for some insight, just want to know if not having tts installed could cause the wide spread google NAV FC problem. Anyone?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Technically, yes since it is missing the necessary support file for the voice. I am surprised that it doesn't have an error message about "tts not installed" or something though. And is it wide spread? This is the first I am hearing about it..unlike the 6 threads on su binaries. I am guessing you are correct and it is ROM specific. Flash the full stock rom deodex and see if that fixes it for you.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
So true about the 6 su threads, lol... Ill do the testing I guess, was just trying to cut some corners. And I would say it is sorta wide spread if using a ROM that's affected, thanks man.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Haha, you can't say the world revolves around you....

Everyone knows it revolves around me...LOL!

Yeah dude, fix it and post it. Be the hero. Which ROM are you on?
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
Just making sure I understand what fc you're referring to specifically; are you talking about the 'invisible' fc that happens associated with gps where it basically stops working in Google Nav? Or is this a different one? The reason I ask is, if its the one I'm thinking of, it happens in every pre-official stock Gingerbread ROM release I've tried, but doesn't on EC05, and if this is the same thing you're referencing, I'd be pretty confident in saying that a *lack* of TTS doesn't cause it anyway. If its something different you're referencing then...my bad :)
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
Well that's what I'm sorta trying to narrow down, I always used TeleNAV on GB. But in Simply AOSP v4 I do see an FC about 1min into NAV, but once muted it dosnt happen. I wonder if someone has/could try the mute trick on GB to see if that fixes "the hidden FC".
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I am on Hurricane and use SVOX British Lady and don't get any FC or vibration, EH17 ROM and modem.
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
Interesting....I wasn't even aware of SVOX until this thread. I don't know when I'll have cause to go somewhere long enough to try it (I live about 3 miles from where I work), but I downloaded SVOX plus the 'Victoria' UK voice you mentioned and will try it (on EG22 here) next time I'm going anywhere of more significant length. If switching off of Pico fixes this issue I'll be thrilled, I haven't been able to consistently rely on Google Nav through Maps since EC05.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yeah, I never used Google Nav because I hated Mrs. Roboto but with the British chick it is more tolerable.
[Epic 4G General] belovedson:
hmm

i used to turn off the volume and the ff would go away in the past i thought everyone would do that. but the g maps is buggy on the epic. sometimes the volume would cut out on its own and freeze. or freeze for some other reasons. sorry i have used so many different roms and i used to use the gps daily when i rode the bike alot. but i havent used it in awhile for the epic. i moved to the nexus
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
Edit::: Thanks Kenny, it looks like it was tts.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
Sorry I'm late, but I'm on Simply AOSP v4. Tts was the problem.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Nice job. Did you post your fix in the ROM thread?
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
Someone else did, but I had already posted thats what I thought the problem was. If anderson620 dosnt post an update.zip, or release version 4.1 with the fix, I will post the update.zip.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoneReaction:
This is only the 2nd time I'm flashing the SII.

When I first flashed it to KG6 a month ago, I had to use titanium backup to restore all my apps.

However, today when I flashed KI8, all my apps where there, and the phone looked like it wasn't even flashed at all. I checked the "about phone" section and it shows that I'm on 2.3.5 already. The only thing I lost was root.

Is this usual?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schindler33:
That is indeed usual. You flashed a non wipe ROM. This means everything is still installed and all the settings are the same.

When you flashed the KG6 it seems that this was a wipe version, which does a factory reset before flashing (to be sure everthing flashes right).

Most custom ROMs are non wipe and if a new firmware gets out they are usually full wipe.

[Nook Color General] velizet:
Hi,

I was happily using my blue-dot NC with CM7 Nightly-177, as suddenly it started to boot ONLY to recovery (CWM 3.2.0.1).

I had used the NC, then put into a neoprene type cover, and put all in a soft bag, and carried it in the car and when I wanted to power the NC on, I was in recovery..

SDCard was intact, could read and copy the contents in my PC.

Tried everything including trying to install CM7 from the sdcard anew multiple times.

It boots from the sdcard, I wipe data, I wipe cache, I wipe dalvik cache, I find and install zip, I install gapps, everything goes OK.. I power down, take the sdcard out. I powerup.. I have the green logo, then the recovery...

What could I be doing wrong?

I'm really pissed off, and thanks for any help.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I wouldn't have wiped data. (I hope you have a backup.) Since it will boot into recovery off the eMMC, put a nightly on a non booting SD card and try again and only wipe Davlik. Normally when updating with ROM Manager that is all you need to wipe. You also might want to flash the gaaps .zip again if you find the market missing after you get back into CM7.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Seemed like you flashed ROM manager into eMMC.
[Nook Color General] velizet:
Well, I had asked the same question at androidtablets.net, few days ago, and I was told do take this route, wiping the data and all.

BTW, I have a backup yes..
[Nook Color General] velizet:
So? How do I use this comment to help my problem?
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Did you try what I suggested in the 2nd post?
[Nook Color General] velizet:
Yes, multiple times with different zips..

It is always, the green Cyanogen logo, says loading, a little flicker, and the amber menu..
[Nook Color General] patruns:
That is very odd. Possibly you have a corrupted image on your card. Have you tried creating the bootable image all over again?

Dumb question..... is it fully charged?
[Nook Color General] velizet:
It is even on the mains.

I have tried creating the bootable drive more than once. The image is the one that I have used for the first time..(1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer)

I will try reverting to stock, and then install once more. If not, I will try to boot from the sdcrad (double boot).

Either I am missing some very basic step, or it is really odd..
[Nook Color General] velizet:
Patruns, now I have a nook color e-reader ver 1.2..

Before trying once more I want to check with you which image, which nightly, and which gapps should I use, and maybe from where to download..

I have a 4 GB Sandisk sdcard.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Do you want to install CM7 to the internal memory (eMMC) or just running it off the uSD?

You have to know what you want to do first.
[Nook Color General] velizet:
Of course I would like to install to emmc..
[Nook Color General] votinh:
I assume you have a brand-new (or like brand-new) v.1.2 NC and you don't want to deal with its partitions.

1. I never try that 3.2.0.1 from eyeballer, but it should be good. Just make sure you not get the corrupted one during download

2. Get the Win32DiskImager old version, r0.15 or something

3. Create flashable uSD (i'm sure you know how to)

Make sure it's good (there should be 4 files in the boot uSD)

4. Get the stable CM7 7.1 and the latest Gapps (0811 or 0821)

5. Drop both in the uSD

6. Fire the NC up.

7. It should get into the CwM R, from there

a. format /system

b. format /data

c. format /cache

Note: I didn't format /boot when doing mine.

d. install CM7 first

e. then install Gapp

8. perform wipe data/factory reset

9. after done, remove the uSD before reboot system.

Give it some times during the first boot.

If after 10' and still not up, then force reboot.

Keep fingers crossed.

Since updating my ATT Captivate to Gingerbread using Odin 1 Click, sometimes the phone and messaging apps crash, or suddenly close after being opened for a couple seconds. When I open the phone, start dialing a few numbers, and it kicks back to the home screen. I try repeatedly to do this, and only if I can type in the phone number as fast as possible and press the call button can I make a call and keep the dialer open. Same thing with the messaging app. I receive a new message and open it, and less than a second later it closes and takes me back to the home screen. Is anyone else having this issue?
