I've only had my A500 for a couple of weeks, but I've already tried quite a few ROM's since then, and the funny thing is, 75% of the time, there's a market issue! Dunno if it's just me or what. It typically only happens with the ICS market leak. Maybe some devices just don't like it. But anyway, I seem to have come up with a universal fix that has worked every time I've tried it. I just posted about it here. Basically, what you're doing is completely removing the market and all traces left behind, rebooting, injecting the 3.1.6 market, and rebooting again. It's almost too easy :D
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Thanks and yep , I think it is some problem the way 3.2 market (leaked version) is intigrated into the system , on the full ICS 4.0 there will be no problem I guess but on HC3.2 it got some problems.

Edit:

The A500 uses a market simular like the website android market , it is intigrated into the system , I did a test , even when I delete the vending apk and marketupdater apk in the rom before flashing it , it still installs the 1.0.28version and I think that there it goes wrong when you install a other Market version and then try to go back.

I stick with the 1.0.28 version on the A500 , I think this web-layout is the more clearer one , 2.3.6 is ok but 3.1.5 and up to 3.2 got to small fonts and icons for me and is good for phones but not tablets in my opinion , the only good in those new versions is the rotation where the 1.028 only got horizontal view.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You have the nerve to give people new roms to play with. Nothings perfect and will always have minor issues we learn to work around. Just keep doing your thing. Believe me, people appreciate it more than you know:D:D
[Acer Iconia A500] GullyFoyle:
No need to apologize. I read the instructions and tried it anyway.

I'm very happy with your rom so thank you for all the time and effort.

I'm using Thors kernel and have no complaints.

We only learn from our mistakes and this was a very minor lesson.

I just discovered I have the "Error purchasing" problem.

Any ideas on a fix? I cleared cache no luck.

Thank You
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
go to the android market with Google webbrowser. Market acount settings .Make sure your device isn't hidden in menu.

Try downloading and installing true android market from the webpage and see if your tablet starts installing the picked app. If it doesn't. Your tablet is hidden in menu of the devices and you need to change that in your market account settings.
[Acer Iconia A500] GullyFoyle:
Fixed it, fingers crossed.

I tried to uninstall it from Titanium Backup and received the message that Finsky.apk would uninstall.

Since I was not certain which version of Vending.apk and Finsky.apk were on the tablet, I pulled them both from Thors 10 rom.

I then did the usual, rename the old ones, copy the new ones, force stop, clear cache and data, delete account, reboot, login, create new account.

Works fine now.

Are Vending.apk and Finsky.apk linked in some way? Previously I tried different versions of just Vending.apk and had either the error purchasing or fc when checking my apps.

Thank You
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Well it seems to be that the finsky.apk is linked.

Thanks for the info.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
It is linked - I have noticed this before. But check my last post on the first page. It's not necessarily required for the market to run (at least, with version 3.x) because I have removed it entirely. By removing all traces of the market (finsky.apk, vending.apk, and clearing cache) a fresh market apk can be pasted into /system/app with the permissions set to rx-r--r-- and it should run just fine.

Another thing which apparently works (who knows why) is going to Android settings, and selecting your language (even though it's already selected) and then running the market again. Not sure if that applies to tablets, but I remember having to do it with my phone on certain ROM's & market versions.
[Defy General] teachmeenglish:
Thanks to those who earlier gave feedback on installing Froyo. I have since been workign on getting the battery to last longer and such. However three questions that much searching has failed to answer.

1. With the speaker breaking issue, my phone was made October 2010 and the speaker broke in around April. The service center fixed it no prob. Funny thing though was that I often used earphones, but only ones with 4 contact rings on the plug. The day it broke I had used my MP3 earphones with three rings and immediately after the speaker would not work. I had assumed that it was the use of the three ring earphones that broke the speaker. Not so sure now. So, is it possible to use any headphones (even ones without a mic) on a cell phone or do normal earphones break things when put into a phone?

2. What the bleeping heck do the different front LED light colours all signify??? Also, why do I get a dark red glow when reading at night from the LED (no, it is not reflected light)? Lots of bits and pieces but a nice list would be gold.

3. Where (and why) did the 3G widget go? It was there in Eclair but not in Froyo.

Thanks,

TME
[Defy General] teachmeenglish:
And, perhaps one interesting bug that I would like to hear if others have experienced.

On three occasions my phone as reset / rebooted for no reason. I am tracking that down, so no worries, however my SIM chip is locked yet when it reboots I do not need to re-enter the SIM PIN. When I do a normal reboot I do have to enter it. Is this a bug??? Seems so as my original ROM was not like that and it does seem to be a bit of a security lapse. Thoughts???
[Defy General] farsight73:
It's normally called soft reboot that bypass the simlock. And this also applied if phone freeze and reboot itself. A hard reboot would definitely need the sim password. Another term used is soft reset and hard reset...

i know a few, but not 100% sure on some, like:

1. flashing green - incoming message.

2. flashing blue - incoming/missed call

3. steady white - battery charging

4. steady green - battery full or near fully charged (>90%)

5. red (not sure steady or flashing) - battery low
[Defy General] rucheat:
answer 2nd

I have same prob but that light red led is come from sensor part not from front notification LED .

I don't know why its on but it is coming from sensor part not from LED part.

As the title states. It seems there is a lack of themes around here. I'm looking for a Red Theme. I really like the Red Venom but it seems as development on that theme has stopped.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
we (team d3rp) plan on red soon, probably for warm rom, just fyi.
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
Red sky looks cool from platinum skins

Shot from my shooter in 3D

injected with cleanrom2.7
[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
Warm is pretty close to Synergy. You think it will work?
[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
I would like more than a skin. The skins are nice for the interim but a whole theme is best imo. I saw the red sky and it is nice I just don't like the arched rosie.
[HTC EVO 3D] jordan23945bulls:
Then flash cm7
[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:
Word up ^^^^

No One Here Gets Out Alive!
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
synergy = probably (cuz it's deodexed)

eternity = nope (cuz it's odexed)

make a nand, flash, report results in theme thread?
[HTC EVO 3D] knightwolf123:
have you taken a look at "UOT kitchen" ? its pretty easy.

if thats not enough, google "7-Zip" and "ADB tools" and "M10 tools" and.... eh, you'll figure the rest out!
[HTC EVO 3D] shiftr182:
Make your own theme. Thats what I do. I find suff I like in all the different roms and make a theme out of it. I keep a "themes" folder on my computer with the images for each apk in it, then I build the rom, copy the images over. If you do that, you need to make sure that the same images are being used in your rom, otherwise youll be putting images in that you dont need, or leaving images out. Then I png optimize and flash....good to go!
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
Try InbRED rom by steal25. Very red and very nice. It's a whole rom so it'll be in development. It's odexed as well. Hope this helps.

Perhaps you should make your own and post it then?
[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
Already running CM7 with Mixer theme. Thanks for the non help though

I would if I had the time and the know how. I might as well thank you for the non help too.
[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
I took a look at that but I'm lovin Synergy as my Sense rom. Not a fan of odexed either. Thanks though.
[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
I had heard about this but looked daunting. Might have to give it a second look.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I'm not knocking anyone, but I agree.

There are less than a handful of decent themes for the 3D. The Evo 4G had several really nice, polished themes.

Here you can get a few skins, most of which people wanna charge you 2$ in the market for and all you get is a new taskbar and different Sense widgets.. ripoff.

Team Derp makes nice themes that are actually kinda fresh, most the others are some form of honeycomb/gingerbread which has run it's course for me. Hopefully some talent will show up and help fill the major void in this section.. some thing other than a silly skin. =p
[HTC EVO 3D] knightwolf123:
UOT is a great starting point. I thought about it a few times before I gave it a spin. Just start by pulling the three files it requests in kitchen. Then make your theme but only change one our two things. Then save the zip it creates for you. Then take that zip and extract the the files it requests for your next kitchen session. Its like an evil repeating circle but with enough trial and error you'll be learning things you had no idea about prior. After a while you'll be making folders with "keeper files" ... Anyways, its an option. Good luck and....

Happy Flashing!
[HTC EVO 3D] shiftr182:
If you use m10 tools, you can make your own skins too.
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
I agree with the OP to a certain degree.

I seem to find a few themes, but they all seem to be the same thing. BLUE (DARK at that), RED, Green, ORange. that's it....where are the other colors?

How come every single blue theme/skin is dark blue, navy blue, royal blue, purple blue? nobody has released a matted blues kind of theme. I know jabawalkee doesn't want MattedBlues ported over...fine, what about powder blue? sky blue, baby blue? light blue? anything except DARK blue!

i've already started making my phone look like it piece by piece. the slate skin is a good start, then my own blue HTC_IME keyboard, blue icons here and there...but i'm not talented enough or have the time to creat a full-on theme like MattedBlues was:(
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
so like, what kinda theme stuff you guys wanna see (for sense) ? We're planning a powder blue and a red, but what's "missing" you think?
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I would love a matted Burgundy/gray theme...not a skin or some horribly overdone theme...just something nice and polished.

I miss the evo 4g theme section
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
I would agree there is a lack of variety. I had fully intended to bring my Drop Dead Red theme to the 3D. Unfortunately I just don't have the time to support full themes anymore. I'll talk to the rest of Bad Seed and see if they would help with a few fresh themes. We've been trying to get Slayer69 back in action to bring Cyan dragon to the 3D. And always pushing Riptide to theme again, they're all just as busy though.

[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
i'll tell you why there aren't that many themes.

M10'S ARE FREAKING HARD TO EDIT

[/endrage]
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
I actually think the m10 files are easy. It's the structure now that makes it more difficult. Before you had framework. res, com. Resources and apps. Now there's those plus systemui , fusion, idlescreens, skins. It's allot more time consuming to do an entire theme. That's why skins are so useful, you can have a fairly neutral base and change it up quite a bit with the skin. My base color is a medium color blue, but I run a skin that's darker or a black based skin so it never clashes. My base is Basically stock, only blue. Then I change apps and skins to get my desired look.

Sent from my Bad Seed customized EVO 3D!!
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
yeah but (at least with me) nothing's named in my m10. everything just has a bunch of hexidecimal values and i need to go flipping through to find what i want.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
I want to do a Burgundy variation.. So that may be happening.. Our d3rp issue is lack of time, if I had a good 2 days I could push out a couple new and keep all of ours updated.. But work and family come first (not in that order).. But to the point, I love Burgundy as a color so I will do one eventually..

To those that agree with me. Thank You. To those that are planning on doing more themes. Thanks to you too. Like I said if I knew how to do the **** myself I would. Guess I'm going to have to learn....
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
We are referring to your non help comments. Its rude. People gave you suggestions and you responded rudely. Tacky for someone who has no dev skills.
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
That's the best way. That's what got me into learning how to mod. I rarely saw mods that I wanted so I learned how to make them myself and there began my foray into modding.

When you do your own, you don't have to depend on anyone else and you can do them to your own specifications.

People are busy and have lives outside of XDA and often don't have the time to constantly update or stay on top of their individual works. Making a theme and/or mods(depending on what you're trying to do) takes a lot of time and hard work.

Once you start making you're own theme and/or mods, you'll see this for yourself.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bamba1260:
Tacky for anyone with any skill set... Imo
[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
Okay. So dude says switch to CM7...... How is that a suggestion or help? Seemed like trolling to me...
[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
I know it is time consuming. If I knew how to just update a theme to work with the latest framework that would be beneficial. It should be easier than remaking it from scratch right?
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
Yes, it was slightly a troll.. In your defense, just don't feed the trolls ;)

It depends on where you are bringing the theme from.. If it's another rom on the 3D, yes just updating the framework would be the easiest.. If you are porting it from say the 4g, it's a bit more labor intensive since sense is a joke..

[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
Ideally I would like the Red Venom 3.0 that is in this section. I just need it updated for the latest Synergy as I believe the framework has changed. I tried to PM the OP for Red Venom. I'm assuming he has halted development on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mayfield103:
If your serious about wanting to do it yourself I and I'm sure others here would be glad to help you with any questions you may have. :)

if you like my work hit the thanks button.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
Yeah from looking at that it probably does need an update. I haven't been following synergy as closely as I used to, but i would assume they have some newer stuff in the rom that would be broken by the theme. It probably needs the systemui and framework updated to function correctly with the latest synergy..

If you are wanting to see this done, your best bet will be to ask someone nicely for help.. I'm sure there are themers in the synergy crowd, ask if they could update the files for you.. Or pm one the active themers and see if they would be nice enough to help..

Just don't start with complaining about a lack of themes.. A lot of us get irritated by that, which is why you were trolled..

[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
Yeah I understand it would be extremely time consuming to keep up with daily or even weekly rom updates. But i remember back on the EVO 4G boards we had heavy usage of metamorph and ninjamorph to be able to just replace the images for the theme without having to touch the actual apks and thereby reduce the issue with constant updates.

Or am I fabricating memories of a better time that never actually happened?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
The theme i just wrapped up had numerous code changes all over. Metamorph wouldn't work in many instances but it's still a great tool
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
And I honestly have never used metamorph..

I'm actually considering themeing; I have wanted to for while (espeically when I had my Motorola Droid) but I have a good chance that I should be making a theme for a ROM (if you guys can choose which ROM you want, I'm currently using Warm on my Evo 3D)

however- I think since I am new to XDA; you have to ask the ROM Devs if you can theme their ROM first I believe.

[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Sorry that I haven't read each and every post OP, I assuming you own the 3D. Development on 3Ds are slower and the themes are lacking because it just hasn't been out as long as the OG Evo.

If you want to learn how things are done and you want to do it yourself, just ask. Most people here are very helpful and are willing to answer whatever question you might have about theming.

Never learned how to use that. I learned things the hard way. :mad:

If I was looking for a particular mod, I used ask people for it but got tired of doing that and I didn't want to be a bother so I learned how to make my own.

Sometimes when people would ask me for something in particular, I would teach them how to make it themselves. The power of Gtalk and 7-zip...lol. :p

[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
I don't care. I am trying to get like an intro to themeing guide together to post here.. Where hopefully all of the themers can kind of work together and help out those trying to learn..

[EVO 4G General] ebuzz:
You know how if you have more than one app that performs a specific task, like lets say you have the basic messenger app that comes with the phone and then you get a second messenger app like Handcent, and then when you click on a contact and say send message you get the option of which messenger app to use.

and then you can say "use by default for this action."

If you check that box, then then next time you try to send a message you won't get the option of choosing any more, that's the only app you can use to perform that function like sending a message.

Well, if you did that by mistake, how can you get back to using either app?

If you understand my question.

thanks.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
Go to settings, applications, manage applications, then scroll to find the app and select it. At the bottom you'll see "clear defaults".

You need to clear defaults for the app that you chose when prompted, not the app that prompted you. In your example, you'd "clear defaults" for Handcent if you wanted to use the stock SMS app.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinnerful:
After a new rom flash all my ad-blocking apps don't work anymore. Every time I tried blocking ads with these hosts-replacing apps the effect is gone after the next boot. What's more, the ad-blocking app itself disappeared from the app drawer. I tried adfree and adaway, same result. Finally I use Rom Toolbox to do the job, but the hosts still won't stick (the app is intact though).

With a little bit of investigation, I found that the hosts file is replaced by one blocking the sources of common ad-blocking apps (i.e. the website they download the hosts file from) every time the phone is started. I searched the logcat with "hosts" but nothing was found.

I'm using the stock gingerbread rom on Droid X, but I don't think the rom has anything to do with the problem since I was be able to block ads the last time I used the stock rom.

Any help would be appreciated.
