[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
I had this exact problem last night. Whenever I went to google.com the browser crashed. reboots didn't fix either. I finally had to restore factory settings (erase the phone). It hasn't happened again since. I have avoided installing 3rd party browsers so no problems yet. It is disconcerting to know this wasn't an isolated problem for me. Major issues are popping up for what could have been a nearly flawless phone.
[Vibrant General] MichaelB91:
I had this problem too, when I went to google.com it would crash. but I fixed it by going to the browser settings and disable the plug ins and by turning off the "enable location" button in the browser. then kill the browser with a task manager and go to google again. it wont crash this time, and when it comes up it will ask you to allow it to get a location, hit allow and it should work from then on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] XxSilent.NightmarexX:
the title says it all :) how can i get those types of apps working on roms based on other phones? i have aloysius v12 but i want to use the verizon apps that come in the market but they are not there. is there i fix or patch so i can use skype or something like that?? i installed an APK i backed up but when i install it it says this app is not available for this phone. can someone please help?
[Droid Eris Android Development] TopazAaron:
Can you pull ur build.prop and attach it to a post here?
[Droid Eris Android Development] XxSilent.NightmarexX:
where and how do i do that?
[Droid Eris Android Development] FunkyFender:
Working on a fix right now. Gimme a little bit and I'll have it up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] snyluc13:
Doesn't jcase's market fix help this kind of problem?
[Droid Eris Android Development] PPCGeek01:
I ran into this problem too running the Sprint based Fresh rom. While Jcase's Market Fix will fix the problem with missing protected apps, it wont fix the missing Verizon apps.

To do that, I used Root Explorer on my phone and opened the "build.prop" file located in the System folder. Open the file in the included text editor and scroll down to until you see this line:

"ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric"

The correct value for the line should be "310012". Sprint roms will have the value as "310120".

Save the changes and exit. After reboot, check your Market. The right-most tab on the main page will read "Verizon" now instead of "Downloads".
[Droid Eris Android Development] FunkyFender:
Or flash this handy zip from recovery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
thanks ...works great
[Droid Eris Android Development] PPCGeek01:
Lol. Where were you when I needed you earlier? :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] FunkyFender:
At work unfortunately. These back-to-back shifts are killing me. :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] XxSilent.NightmarexX:
thanks i really want to use those apps :)

edit: thanks for the fix, works like a charm ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] dragon1018:
Anyone else having issues with the my Verizon app? Everytime I go into it it states phone number can not be verified
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bswartz95:
I know this is probably elementary, but is there a step by step post anywhere for flashing a zip file?

I just rooted last night and put the first custom ROM on my phone. This is uncharted territory for me. Everything is great so far except for these missing apps.

I tried the root explorer method, but it would only let me read the text, not edit.

EDIT: Ignore this post. GREAT SUCCESS!! Too easy.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Thank you.

I was doing it the hard way - download the app in a HTC/VZW Rom, copy them to SD, restore the Sprint ROM (Aloysius V12) and install.

Looking at them now in the Market.

I would like to cook a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for Dell Axim X50 mid PPC's. How would I begin with this though? Any help appreciated.

Build 23409:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Have you checked Aximsite? Also, you might want to start with pre-WM6.5 versions of Windows Mobile (to learn how to do it right). Trust me, trying to fit everything you want into ~30mb (the size of the storage space you have to work with to fit everything in the rom image) is hard work.

If you're not running the latest Dell WM5 stock rom (latest version for X50 series is A02), I would suggest that you download the WM5 upgrade cd (if you're running pre-WM5 Windows Mobile) using the link on my flashing sticky on Aximsite and running it, and then downloading the WM5 A02 update from Dell's support site.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] msr4:
Well. Do you know of anyone whos able to cook a 6.5 rom but manage to get Titanium and such in there without CF card drivers to lower the file size? I dont really use a CF.

Even barnacle doesn't work for me!
[Droid X General] cjosephmo:
So it seems that the droid x is just picky with what can connect to it. Fitting as I have issues with my droid staying connected to my wifi when saturating the bandwidth on the wifi (downloading from another computer on the lan). Anyway, its working fine right now between the dx and my hp netbook.
[Droid X General] cjosephmo:
Just a heads up guys... it seems that after rebooting my phone, I'm able to tether again... I also noted that I havent ended any apps or anything. I also haven't enabled my wifi yet.
[Droid X General] Izord:
Exact same problem, Barnacle works sometimes, Android Wifi tether doesn't show up in Windows.

Works fine from my MT3G but not from my DroidX.

Barnacle is actually working pretty good right now. 1900Kb/s down just now with a solid connection for the past 10 minutes.

Me Too

My phone has been rebooting more and more recently. I suspect it is very poor signal causing the phone to work too hard, triggering a reboot. My will get to 109 degrees for no particular reason, and then start rebooting.

I just reset the battery log or whater it is called in recovery and will recharge. Is there anything else I should look at. I am already running setcpu profiles with the profiles suggested in the thread. Is there anything else I should do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
If the battery is literally brand new remember that most lithium batteries have a "work in phase" where it will take a few days and power cycles to work to optimal battery life. Give it a week and see fi you still have the issues, If you do then the battery wasnt the problem and something else is causing a battery drain.

If it makes you feel better i have tried EVERY battery tip trick etc in this forum just about and i still get no where near the battery life 90% of the long life users get.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matheau:
I have never used their batteries but looking at batteryboss they seem to not live up to what they are supposed to.

On my evo the first 10-15% of my battery drops super fast but evens out after that, I am using stock Battery with Fresh 1.01 and kernal 26 running cpu at max of 922.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
I think the batteries are worth it. The one in my palm treo would last a few days compared to stock. I think this one just needs to be broke in hopefully.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nagrom Nniuq:
The Evo does NOT trickle charge batteries. It charges them to 100% and then shuts off until the battery hits around 90%. Then it turns back on and brings it back up to 100%. This is the reason your battery drops 10% really fast, and then lasts for a good long while.

Total fail on HTC's part. They put a lot of stupid into this phone for how long they've been making phones...

Read the forums and use the search. It's been detailed over and over and there are threads dedicated to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kperry1911:
Just go to the link / thread that Dredge posted for simple root. All you have to do is click and follow the instructions. Don't worry about about what files you have or don't have now. Even better delete the junk you previously loaded when trying to root. Simple root will get you Root access, unlock nand and flash the proper PC36IMG. I did it weeks ago before there was a version for gaining root post OTA. If you really really need help you can watch the steps on YouTube. Simpleroot method draws on methods used by others and makes it as automatic and hands off as possible.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjz147:
I was in the same exact boat you were in, but have finally rooted it and have a custom rom and it is great.

Use simple root (it works) and follow the video steps as well, its like 20 minutes long, but it lets you know whats going on with your phone.

However I don't think you have achieved fool root status yet, because you need to NAND unlock ( i think that means full user permission)

You need to follow the steps on this page, and then you will be set to flash custom roms.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

What the "simple root" basically does is revert your phone back to 1.17.651.1 which makes the full nand unlock possible, then follow the steps on the link above after you have rooted with simple root, and you are good to go.

It is a really easy process, thanks to these guys and this website.

I have had trouble with this before but finally got it done, so if you need help message me or just post it up on here.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
So, lately I've been dabbling in making my own themes. Well, I've hit a wall when it comes to text fields. I want to color text fields red like the rest of the highlights in my theme. I start with the basic png and use Gimp to colorize them to red and save again as png over writing the original. After I use MetaMorph to apply the theme the text fields come out like garbage. Btw, I was stumped on GoogleQuickSeachBox and hadn't moved on to other textfields.

Original:

Modified:

Example of result (this is actually from MicroMod777's red glass theme but, it's the same result I'm getting):

Why is it resizing all wrong? I've had other areas of trouble doing this exact same thing when all I did was "colorize" them.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
you probably need a patch9 png
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
Hmm, they are all the .9.png files. How do I handle them specially? Is there a certain format I'm supposed to save them as? Thanks for the help.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
Actually I think you put me on the right path to figure it out myself. I found the draw9patch program in the SDK tools folder. I'm guessing you just drag and drop in your images and save them from that program. If it's this simple, then I'm happy and it works. If it doesn't work I'll be coming back for more help. :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Unfortunately its not that simple.

After selecting the stretchable areas and saving the .9 file, it needs to be 'compiled'. Either add it to a project and build (eclipse), or use a standalone tool to just process the .9 (can't remember the tool name)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
If ur on a windows machine and background transparency is not an issue for u then id suggest mspaint, it keeps .9 info intact and doesnt overwrite/delete it when u save the file after editing it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
Thanks agian... Sucks to be me I guess. Now I have a lot more to learn. I found this guide though, it seem pretty thorough.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. Not that I couldn't use paint with Virtualbox though. I'm going to try and figure out the right way to do it though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
Ok, this is driving me nuts. I figured out how to get Eclipse set up and I created a project. Now, according the the instructions I add the .9.png files to the res/drawable-hdpi file. Then I go to my project, right click and select Android tools. Then I'm supposed to export unsigned android package. Well, I get an error saying the apk doesn't exist and it does it even if I'm using a sample that comes with the sdk. What am I not doing?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
Easiest way to get around it is to make the new image in the larger size with the appropriate width (not the squeezed version)

(|) - Original

(||||||||||||||||||) - modded one.

That works

2ndly where do i find that modded keyboard you have on there? :P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
Yeah, I guess I could just expand the image. That seems kind of like cheating though. And now I think I have it figured out. I even got Eclipse to run hello world.

That modded keyboard is actually not modded at all. That keyboard is the stock swype. Its in beta and you might find it somewhere on here if you look. You can send a pm for more details.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Does the code build without errors? Check the errors tab.

No .apk means that it could not create it because of an error.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
Ok, new day, new problems. Well, I found out my problem above was a build path error. That is apparently tricked into solving itself by adding and then removing a library. Now, I added the text fields to the res/drawable-hdpi folder. I have two errors for each one, and an error for the icon.png file it placed in there (it's the hello world test) looking at the error it says:

So, I'm assuming this means I haven't placed a guide in the draw9patch program along the bottom and top of the image to stretch horizontally. So, I go back to to draw9patch, move my text field into it and try to draw a guide on the bottom of the image and this happens:

FML, I can't draw anything along the bottom. I checked, the bottom clearly has room and the top has a few pixels of transparency for room as well. I even renamed it without the .9 before I dropped it into draw9patch. It looks like in the preview area it's stretching just fine vertically though, those guides most be intact and also why I'm not getting an error for them eclipse.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
Of course the problem is something as simple as being zoomed in too far. Now I got the draw9patch program running fine. I was even able to compile one without a problem. Ok, now I'm going to retry to make that GoogleQuickSearchBox and see if it all worked out for me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MicroMod777:
Were you able to fix that search field in the browser setting? I haven't been able to fix it. If so, what is the name of the .png fixed and how did you do it? Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
I haven't got to that one yet. Your browser searchfield is what got me into this mess :p. Since, I'm doing it for my personal theme I was copying textfields from your theme when I ran across that issue. I started working on another theme for my fiancee after I figured it all out. I'll let you know if/when I find it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
post the original file and the color you need and I'll take a crack at it. (first with mspaint of course :) )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] carnegie0107:
I've always been confused by .9s. The rest of theming has become pretty easy, especially with MetaMorph. I don't know if MS Paint would be of use in this case.... looks like you'd want to be able to do to transparency on this image, but if you can make it look good without, then good for you. I'm surprised to hear that Paint keeps the info intact. Who knew Paint was good for anything more than entertaining 5-year-olds?

About that Swype... if someone wants to PM me about the stock-themed, non-expiring version, that would be great. The official beta apk has expired, and I lost the un-official one when I put my sdcard in the wash. Managed to find one that works, but it's an ugly themed one, and I can't find the images from the stock version.

About the theme in general.... sounds like you're going very in-depth with it... I'd like to see more of it! is there a thread for it anywhere, or screenshots?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sn0wmis3r:
I have the same setup and do all my work with GIMP. However you do need to recompile any 9patch images into a project to get them to work properly. I use eclipse in Ubuntu to accomplish this.

On a related note, I plan to release a big pack of xcf template files from my black matte morph that can be used for theming the entire framework. That will hopefully help more of the Ubuntu users out there. I see a lot of Photoshop files on here but no love for GIMP ever. I'd like to change that.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
It's pretty easy once you have it figured out. It took me a day of frustration but, I got it working now.

PM will be sent when I'm done typing this post.

Well, it was just for personal use. I really love the concept of a couple themes out there but liked bits and pieces of them. So, I've taken bits and pieces of different themes and sort of put them together the way I wanted. Because, I sort of kanged it all together I hadn't planned on releasing the theme to everyone as a lot of it isn't my work. I suppose if MicroMod and Manup gave me permission I could. I took a lot of their pieces (status bar, widgets) but, a lot I've made myself (notifications, textfields, check marks).

The thought behind the theme is that I really like when people leave stock icons. When you start to theme icons, then your apps from the market that aren't theme stick out like sore thumbs and I don't like it. However, I like the dark status bar, widgets, etc... Recently I decided red goes best with black and want various check marks, text fields, highlights, etc... to be red. I attached a screenshot of it before I started changing it to red highlights. I also made a pink version for my fiancee because she likes those sorts of things. I kind of want to release that one though because I don't really see too many girly themes out there.

I have used the Gimp and Eclipse without issue. It's pretty simple (but time consuming) once you figure it out.

xcf templates and Gimp files? You have me lost on that. How could something be done different? I guess I'll have to pay attention.
