I am having installation issues with Windows 7 x64 7000

I am unable to install Office 2007 or Adobe Reader 9

When I try to install them I ran them both regularly and they both failed.

Microsoft advised me to run them as administrator so I did that. They still failed. So I changed the compatibility of them to Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista. Still both of them failed in a error state.
[Off-topic] codesplice:
Do they throw any sort of error codes?

I've got both of those programs installed on my x64 7000 with no problems at all. Have you disabled UAC yet? Might be worth doing.

[General Questions and Answers] jodywallin:
In the recent review by Miguel for ExtremeMhz.com, he said that you can prevent all of the ATT bloatware from being installed by doing the following: "When you go through the standard startup tutorial and get to the end where it prompts you to tap the screen to continue, you want to have the stylus ready and as soon as you tap the screen with your finger, hit that soft reset button on the bottom of the phone. Upon rebooting, it will skip the long process of installing all the custom AT&T software and will actually save you some precious internal memory as well."

My question is, will doing this void the AT&T warranty or in anyway prevent one from returning the phone to AT&T within the initial 30 return period?
[General Questions and Answers] emesbe:
No it won't. That's only a potential issue if you flash an different ROM. But if you're really concerned, or decide to return, just hard reset and let the bloat install.

THE PROJECT IS OVER. SORRY.

QUOTE FROM DAVE (Developer)

http://forums.geekstoolbox.com/showthread.php?t=14636

Today, I have some news that deeply saddens me.

As I am sure many of you are already aware, the StarPlayr project has been retired as it is in the best interests of all of those involved to do so.

This includes all Sirius XM projects I have worked on including SiriusWM5 and all products produced by NiceMac LLC under the StarPlayr name.

While the streams and user authentication were sourced directly from Sirius XM's content servers, my server software supplied all of the value added for the system including but not limited to album art, lyrics, purchase links and the sponsor marketing system. This coupled with the clients I had developed for Windows, Windows Mobile, and the almost completed BlackBerry and Android clients are something I am very proud of.

I started working on my first Sirius XM project in December 2005 called SiriusWM5 when I grew tired of reading "Acquiring Signal" while trying to listen to the Stern Show in my office building.

It was then I decided that I wanted everyone to be able to enjoy satellite radio on every cellphone, game console, desktop and media capable platform.

I never dreamed I would later find 3 others that all shared the same goal. We decided to combine efforts and package our individual pieces into a massive multi platform offering. We formed the NiceMac Team.

While I am no longer part of NiceMac LLC, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has supported both GeeksToolBox and NiceMac.

If anyone is looking for a developer to work on a project unrelated to satellite radio, please feel free to contact me at geekstoolboxmail at mac dot com.

starplayr was the first app that worked flawlessly. plus the album art was kind of neat. as long as c-apri stays on top of things, we should still have a streaming app. i don't see selectradio as being a viable option since they don't seem to stay on top of releases (plus it's $25 per device and not a lifetime).

i wouldn't mind using xm/sirius' website to stream the music, if the site was compatible with WinMo.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] earthtodigi:
Heres the BS part these idiots are to dumb to understand... they say you cant use a third party app to stream sirius with, but Internet Explorer, or Firefox, or whatever browser you use, IS A THIRD PARTY APP. You still have to have an account, Starplayer, SiriusWM5, C-apiSRO are just ways to interface the channels, thats all, no different than a web browser. In no way is the signal being rebroadcast or given away to anyone that is not a member to begin with.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mitchrl:
I doubt it's the app per se, but the potential value-added stuff (ads, links to purchase music, etc). They knew what they were trying to do and SiriusXM knew what they were trying to do. I'm surprised they let them get this far IMO.

[G1 General] DebauchedSloth:
I've been reasonably happy with my battery life until I installed this app. After installing it, I noticed that my battery runtime decreased noticeably. This struck me as odd, so I took a look at the system logs using the SDk adb tool.

Sure enough, my phone was waking up *a lot* more often, and also sure enough, it was the T-Mobile HotSpot locator doing the waking. Here's a snippet from the logs:

01-12 22:09:19.461 D/RC_WifiService( 242): SetUptmohs()

01-12 22:09:19.543 I/RC_WifiService( 242): network already present tmohs

01-12 22:09:59.553 D/RC_WifiService( 242): SetUptmohs()

01-12 22:09:59.633 I/RC_WifiService( 242): network already present tmohs

01-12 22:10:39.645 D/RC_WifiService( 242): SetUptmohs()

01-12 22:10:39.723 I/RC_WifiService( 242): network already present tmohs

01-12 22:11:19.735 D/RC_WifiService( 242): SetUptmohs()

01-12 22:11:19.813 I/RC_WifiService( 242): network already present tmohs

01-12 22:11:59.829 D/RC_WifiService( 242): SetUptmohs()

01-12 22:11:59.903 I/RC_WifiService( 242): network already present tmohs

01-12 22:12:39.923 D/RC_WifiService( 242): SetUptmohs()

01-12 22:12:40.003 I/RC_WifiService( 242): network already present tmohs

01-12 22:13:20.033 D/RC_WifiService( 242): SetUptmohs()

01-12 22:13:20.113 I/RC_WifiService( 242): network already present tmohs

As you can see, it is waking the phone every 40 seconds, and doing *something*. What, exactly, it is up to is not clear, but it appears to be simply checking to see if the tmohs Wifi entry is present.

Since I very rarely need to use a tmo HotSpot, I removed the app, and now the phone is much quieter. Whether that translates into noticeably increased battery life, we shall see, but it certainly can't hurt. I can certainly live without T-Mobile hotspots and if I suddenly just must access one, I can install the app again.

Something to consider.
[G1 General] dwang:
thanks.. good information to know..

By the way, what log file did you look at?
[G1 General] Meltus:
i noticed this and ended up uninstalling the app because of the battery life.

mind you, the battery drains stupidly fast when wifi is turned on normally.

I have spent hours trying to fix this GPS thing. I followed this tutorial (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix) to the letter. Everything on the phone works fine except this gps. What am I doing wrong???

-I upgraded to the VZW MR1

-Then switched to DCD3.2.5 (Radio 3.42.4)

-Then followed that above link

Nothing seems to work.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
If you aren't going to use MR1, then don't upgrade to it. Downgrade back to official Verizon WinMo 6.0 stock rom, then unlock, flash to a newer radio and then flash DCD 3.2.6 and your GPS will work.

The Valhala cab thing only works if you are running MR1, if not, then you don't want to install MR1 or it will disable your GPS.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] chs200123:
Dude you are a genius!!!! Your quick instructions have finally ended a long hunt in searching for this solution. After I did what you told me, I have both blazing fast GPS connectivity, and fully working ICS. I want to mention a few things in case anyone else runs into the issue I did.

First, after I successfully downgraded, and then reinstalled DCD’s 3.2.6 (radio 3.42.50 & PRI 1.35_002), I did NOT follow the instructions to enable AGPS. I dont know if this is being overlooked somehow on all these forums, but after I installed my carrier cab, with DCD’s 3.2.6 ROM, everything worked as is. There was no need to install anything else. Also keep in mind, that I did exactly as BillThyCat instructed, and that was flashing directly from the stock WinMo 6.0 (no MR1 update) to DCD’s 3.2.6.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
If I read your last response correctly, it sounds like you did not do the aGPS fix afterwards. It's not a requirement, but it will get you 15-20 second GPS locks almost every time you try. It's well worth it.

Glad you got everything else working tho. Your issue is a pretty common problem. With most carriers you want to load their latest stock rom then upgrade from, however Verizon being the bastages that they are, lock the GPS down. There have been a few work arounds found, named the Valhala cab, however if you are going to run a custom rom anyways, why even mess with all that. Just use a custom rom and work.

BTC
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] chs200123:
Yes, I did not do the AGPS fix posted on that wiki site. Im not sure I understand why doing that AGPS fix would give me 15-20 second GPS locks, when I have like 8-10 second GPS locks now. Perhaps the magic is just in the latest radio. Either way, I'm happy with the way it all worked out.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
When I first programmed my phone I would get syncs instantly one day and 10 minutes or more the next. If you are consistantly getting them in 8-10 seconds don't mes with anything, just keep in mind if that nice feature goes away that aGPS is available in the future.

[G1 General] IMSargon:
So I wanted VoiceDialer on my stock ADP1. I grabbed VoiceDialer.apk from JFv1.31_ADP1.zip and installed it using adb (sdcard mounted on computer, so it wasn't mounted on the phone). It runs, and I was quite satisfied with its recognition abilities, but when it comes to clicking "OK" to dial, it always crashes with a "force close" dialogue. Holding the "send" button does bring up the VoiceDialer program. My guess is I'm missing some sort of configuration somewhere. Does anyone know?
[G1 General] Koush:
Make sure you grabbed the VoiceDialer.odex too, if there is one.
[G1 General] IMSargon:
I didn't find any odex files (unless they would be in recovery.img, which I haven't yet learned how to open). These files are not created automatically?
[G1 General] jashsu:
Unzip a RC30 update.zip and look in \system\app\

On ADP1, the dex is created at runtime by the dalvikvm from the classes file inside the zip. On RC30, the dex files for the builtin apps are created ahead of time and stored alongside the apk. This prevents the system from using up \data partition space with dex files (As the ADP1 build does).
[G1 General] IMSargon:
I was able to find a copy of VoiceDialer.odex as per your description, but if I understand you correctly, that will not solve my problem.

If the dev phone uses dex files instead, and these are created at runtime, then I would expect to find a dex file for VoiceDialer if everything is working properly. Indeed, the file "data@app@com.android.voicedialer.apk@classes.dex" exists.

Any other hints as to why the application might crash after clicking "OK" to dial a number?
[G1 General] jashsu:
Yeah just grab the VoiceDialer.apk from JF's modified ADP1 build. It contains the classes.dex file required to run on ADP1 build.
[G1 General] IMSargon:
That's what I did initially. That part all seems to work.
[G1 General] jashsu:
Doh, went around in a circle ;-) I thought we were talking about the RC30 version.

Yeah you'll have to ask JF about this since I think he compiled VoiceDialer from source for his ADP mod build. There is no odex file to look for.
[G1 General] IMSargon:
Yeah, I'm sure JF could see the problem real quick. I'm real timid about bothering people, though - I was hoping he might swing by this thread by chance. What's considered appropriate on this forum: PM? E-mail? IM? Visitor Message?
[G1 General] Gary13579:
Your best bet is IRC. A lot of us hang out in #android on Freenode.
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
Your best bet is to remount /system and push the .apk directly into /system/app. I haven't tried installing it with adb install, so I'm not sure if that's what is causing your problems or what.
[G1 General] [RiS]:
Yeah, I had the same problem (I've installed voice dialer using adb install)

Uninstalled in application manager, rebooted, remounted, pushed voicedialer.apk to /systemp/app, rebooted again, and it worked :) )
[G1 General] IMSargon:
It worked! Great! Thanks a ton!

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

Steps taken:

1. copy VoiceDialer.apk to phone

# adb push VoiceDialer.apk /sdcard/VoiceDialer.apk

763 KB/s (51125 bytes in 0.065s)

#

2. enter shell on phone, and gain root

# adb shell

$ su

#

3. mount the system partition as rewritable

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#

4. copy VoiceDialer.apk to the proper system directory

# cat /sdcard/VoiceDialer.apk > /system/app/VoiceDialer.apk

#

5. make permissions match the other files

# chmod 644 /system/app/VoiceDialer.apk

#

6. reboot the phone

# reboot

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

For extra credit, does anyone understand why this happens? What does it tell us about how apps work and install?
[G1 General] jashsu:
adb pushing the apk directly bypasses the PackageManager. By using adb install, the package manager will run (as if the package was installed from the Market or Browser). There are various reasons the PackageManager might reject a package, including inability to run dexopt, incompatibility with existing data registered to an older version of an app, etc. A list of errors that would block an apk installation is here. Look at the constants starting with INSTALL_FAILED and INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED.
[G1 General] IMSargon:
Interesting, but in this case the application did not fail to install. The installation went normally, and the application functioned normally up to the point where it attempted to interface with another application/subsystem (whatever dials the phone).
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
When you install it with adb install, it gets installed as a normal (non-system) application. This can be verified by checking /data/system/packages.xml:

<package name="com.android.voicedialer" codePath="/data/app/VoiceDialer.apk" [B]system="false"[/B] ts="1232083952000" userId="10029">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="0" />
</sigs>
</package>

One of the permissions it requires is "android.permission.CALL_PRIVILEGED". Based on the info in frameworks/base/core/res/AndroidManifest.xml (in the git source):

<permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PRIVILEGED"
android:label="@string/permlab_callPrivileged"
android:description="@string/permdesc_callPrivileged"
[B]android:protectionLevel="signatureOrSystem"[/B] />

You can see the protectionLevel is "signatureOrSystem", meaning that the application has to be a system application in order to use that permission. Since the voice dialer was not installed as a system application, it can't be assigned that permission.

To confirm this, I tried installing the voice dialer with adb install, and then took a look at the logcat output, which contains the following line:

01-15 23:32:32.903: WARN/PackageManager(56): Not granting permission android.permission.CALL_PRIVILEGED to package com.android.voicedialer (protectionLevel=3 flags=0x44)

However, when you copy the apk to /system/app, it gets installed as a system application, which can be verified again by looking at /data/system/packages.xml:

<package name="com.android.voicedialer" codePath="/system/app/VoiceDialer.apk" [B]system="true"[/B] ts="1232084484000" userId="10035">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="0" />
</sigs>
</package>

So it is able to use the "android.permission.CALL_PRIVILEGED" permission. After coping the apk to /system/app, I checked the logcat output and there was no mention of not being able to grant the android.permission.CALL_PRIVILEGED permission, as expected.

Interestingly enough, copying the file to /system/app doesn't bypass the package manager. The package manager is watching both /data/app and /system/app for new files, and it automatically installs anything you copy into either location. It also does an uninstall when you delete an apk from either location.
[G1 General] jashsu:
I didn't know that. :D In that context it does make sense why it would disallow call permission if put into /data/app

Offtopic, but are you planning on creating a modified version of the newly released ADP1 "1.1" build?
[G1 General] IMSargon:
Thanks, JF, your explanation makes the problem quite clear!
