problem installing street view for android market

Hello,

Don't know if it here I should send this kind of issues, but I'm having problem to install street view app of google inc from google Market. Downloading is ok but installing send the notification installation failure.

Thx for any help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lynt:
Well, I'm just reporting what I'm seeing. The phone seems ever-so-slightly laggier to me when doing common tasks like opening apps and scrolling the app drawer.

Just because frame rates are higher in a game doesn't necessarily mean (in my opinion anyways) that overall the performance is better, but hey we'll wait and see what happens with any updates etc. I think I've got a sound install; I haven't tweaked the CPU settings or governors at all, and I'm not seeing other issues like FC's that are being reported.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Basil3:
Isn't street view integrated into the google maps app anyway? It is on mine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SirHades:
I just did 3 full days, "normal" use..

gTalk, email, a few calls, sms, facebook&Internet.

Froyd 1.5, 691 Kernel, Wifi&GPS on.

So, aye, I'd say it rocks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hi-Fi:
yes, I install this rom in China and never get the set up finish

after i back to HK, i set it up and works fine as 1.4.4

now i'm in china, it mentions "error sending to phone"

I try both network CMCC & Unicom, Wi-Fi as well

Is there anyway to edit the theme on the HTC_IME mod? I tried unistalling but it won't let me.

anyone else having this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] descenpet:
if you can't stand then black blue green keyboard you can delete /sytem/app/HTC_IME_themed.apk using adb or root explorer or such. normal uninstall won't work because it's in /system. just install un-themed one after that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stravi:
Today rebooted whilst sending a text and in the middle of a call. Not good :(

Now trying the 576-nologo kernal to see if that helps...

EDIT: scrap that, am trying Flykernal 10a instead to see how that works out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jkmoogle:
It is, yes. I had an issue updating maps yesterday, but i think the issue is with the market, not the ROM. Updating worked when I tried this morning. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] captainstu72:
More then likely, the market has been flakey at best for me here for teh last few weeks, irrespective of what ROM I am using.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] westsider:

Am I the only one having a bug ? I can't get 3G working (I full wipe etc, as usual) (Orange FR)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
cheers matey couldn't stay up late enough last night but what a beautiful rom to wake up too. : )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Kernel will overclock your phone and make it EVEN faster (if that's possible :p)

You flash it like a ROM, but don't need to wipe anything for a kernel. Just flash. To switch kernel, just flash another one :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gli8600:
Is it just me? This version seems to drain battery pretty fast... down to 78% after 2 hours of screen off.

Using 123-652 kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh......WTF ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

damnit you guys ... what's with the friggin' gay theme ?!?!?!

:(

*i'm gonna flash over the theme-remover.zip from Elelinux...let's see what happens....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
Lol there's gratitude for you! Jesus...

Oh whilst I'm on, thanks for the ROM, seems to be running the best yet and I really like the new look, finishes it off nicely!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] koepi:
I'm using the same kernel and have lost 3% load in 4 hours.

- Start CPUspeed

-- Enable the settings. Allow for minimum frequency 122MHz. Done.

- Disable "Background Data".

That's all I did, next to disabling auto-updates in Facebook, Gmail and Mail.

Or, like hacre suggests, install Juicedefender and set it up properly.

Cheers

Hi Mate,

I had problems like that but managed to fix em by selecting both my service providor and apn within settings.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BuzzFuzz:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
hi!

ran mybackup pro managed to restore data but when trying to install apk backup get error "no space left on device"

and also villian rom updater force closes.. any ideas? (i dont think its the overclock because ive ran 710 before without problems)

cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dennis.l:
Anyone know if the 1.4.2 themes will work with this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cokbok:
Great release. Thank you for the efforts.

One thing I realized is that I have got a notification saying "34 applications have been restored" and when I clicked the notification, it opened the "Downloads" section of the Market and I really had my apps installed.

Is it an Android feature?

Looking forward to have the AOSP theme within OTA :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hi_robb:
Last post was meant for the non working 3g user.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
i just flashed the *.zip from Villain to revert back to stock 1.4 and it works .. so maybe the other themes work as well....

finally i can truly honestly say THNX to Hacre for this great rom ( i just love my stock :) )

even on standard kernel the rom feels verrrrry smooth and faaaast...

nice!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
I will try to port some of my themes again for Froyd Villain 1.5,

because at 1.5 there are some changes at settings.apk,framework-res etc.!

Example:If you flash old theme from 1.4.x with modified settings.apk,you will

lose "proxy settings option" at the network settings!

Finished my first theme,upload comes!

Some screens,but not all ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
anyone any ideas what i've done wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
hi,

i just flashed the 1.4.xxx stock.zip file and everything works just fine;

no problems with network as far as i've noticed...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,but now you have the proxy settings option,too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
no i did not lose the proxy settings :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sjoerdos:
I fixed my battery life....i had the problem that a media app was using the most CPU and the most partial wake time (probably a few pages back by now) i reinstalled the ROM, didnt fix it, i reinstalled again, again no fix, and then i just deleted the two system apps with the word media in it and now my battery life is good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marvi0:
Hie how do we get to these system apps to delete them please.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] peelsky:
Sjoerdos, what's your display battery usage, in settings>phone info, when screen's off?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] roose21:
Any one else finding that the punctuation doesn't appear above the keyboard any more? The predictive text does but the punctuation is missing?!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] goldencore:
The ROM works quite well on my hero, but I often do have lags when pulling down the notification bar. Sometimes it even stays in the middle of the screen. I also had wake up issues when setting the governor to conservative. Even now on interactive sometimes the home screen does not respond to e.g. finger wipes for a few seconds after appearing. Quite often there is the "Launcher Pro is not responding" message. If I click on wait, it usually does work.

Oh and sometimes Swift-Key is lagging like hell.

All in all sometimes the phone feels really fast and sometimes not. I am trying juice defender at the moment. My impression is that it made those issues worse, but I am not exactly sure.

Battery life is not overwhelming either. 1.5 days maybe.

Any tipps?

I am using 691 no logo-kernel, with Min 123 Mhz setting.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
This ROM doesn't have, and can't have Sense UI, which is why you are missing those things. Also, LauncherPro is telling you to pay because you are trying to add widgets to your screen that the dev only allows in the Pro version (Villain and or CyanogenMod are not the developers of LauncherPro, they just included it as the default launcher).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Json_81:
My alarm didn't start this morning.

I'm using 246 as lowest clock which haven't worked for me before (purple screen etc), but with interactive governor it seemed to be working fine.

Haven't had a problem since 1.5 was released until now.

Or could it be some other issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skydg:
Set higher minimum.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xinos:
Hey i just have a slight problem. I use widgetlocker the only problem is that i hear the unlock sound 3 times when i lock the phone. Is there any way i can disable the lock sound?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keithsipa:
Got a newbie question, I was playing with this rom but never put a sim in until last night. When I dial out, I need to dial "+", then the seven digits or I get a dialing error. Is there something I am missing, can I prefix the dialing info?

I dont want to dial the "+" everytime.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thefangedkanga:
Correct radio?

Hey all,

So I have installed FroydVillain since its birth, and have kept up with updates till 1.5, which is awesome.

The one thing I have a problem with is reception, it seems to go in and out a lot more then it ever used to, and so I was wondering if anyone could point me to the correct radio to use.

If anyone could show me documentation on how to find the correct radio (if there isn't a specific one for Froyd 1.5) that would be awesome. I have flashed plenty of roms, but never a radio before, so maybe that isn't even my issue.

Any help would be awesome. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Radios here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?307-radio-roms-download-links

Take the latest one I think, and then pop onto SD Card and flash as usual. Beware you must NOT turn off the phone during the flash, nor remove the battery. It is normal to sit on the "phone and box" screen for some minutes. And google how to check an MD5 sum first and check before flashing, as flashing a bad radio will brick
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thefangedkanga:
What would be an appropriate time to wait for the flash to finish? A minute? Couple of seconds?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] acolwill:
How long is a piece of string?

Twice as long from the middle to an end.

That is exactly how long it takes to flash a radio image on YOUR hero.

On my Hero, however, it takes about 20 seconds.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HTCDevil:
I had to reboot from recovery twice, first time after "Flash update.zip", second time when it returns into recovery and say "formatting cache".

Now i have 6.35.15.14 ;)

Thanks guys :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
understood, just pointing out that faster frame rates AND more responsive UI are actually what most of us have found. at least compared with earlier versions of froyd imho.

unfortunate that it's not like that for you.

By the way speaking of speed, I tried adw launcher last night (which isn't too bad in elelinux froyo for performance). it is almost useless in froyd 1.5 for some reason, at least for me. I removed all widgets etc from LP, used home switcher to make adw default, rebooted into it to ensure LP wasn't taking ersources, blah blah blah. Reaaaaaaly slow response compared to LP.

so I'm sticking with LP for now, although I'm using the galaxy launcher too which is pretty cool (I nicked it from rcmix 2.0).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
until it's done.... which will likely be more like several minutes. first flash does lots of crazy things, that one alone could be a minute or two. then it's like you press a button to reboot, and then the hardcore flashing goes on during bootup and you do NOT want anything to go wrong then, and that is when it takes several minutes at least. plug it in to charger just in case while this is going on...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow, that's fast. that's including the extra time it takes flashing itself into the phone on first reboot?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robocik:
hehe so you liked the galaxy launcher... :) is it so quick in 2.2 too ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
it was very quick and smooth. yea I actually really like it :-)

if you want iphone-like features, look, solidity, and professionalism, it's the launcher for you. I'm just scratching the surface of using it but I do like it.

Any word on finding widgets for it? if the launcher works... I wonder if the widgets would work.

you made quite a find there Robo... hope you don't mind me playing with the files in your rom. since I had issues getting the actual rom to run I thought well... let's try it in froyo just in case.

are there any special requirements to get orange launcher working? files in /system or /data other than the apk itself? because I just get FCs when running it in froyo. and I have yet to see it running anywhere except in your screenshots because of my strange issues I noted in your thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robocik:
yes... well sense, orange, samsung hehe they are all very nice :) thats why i have all three with nice home selector :)

The launcher has been ported to our MDPI screen by kenshin, i am not sure... so if he or someone else port the widgets tp MDPI then they may work :)

thanks :) i got it from capychimp from magic section ;) he is also working on making it rotating... one last issue to break then it rotates without bugs :)

and feel free to use the files you need :)

not what i know... i copied all orange files, it is besides the launcher and selector, orangesearchprovider.apk and orangesearchwidget.apk... otherwise it could be dependent of some htc framework... it is a part of htc hero rom, so...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
This could have been my post, cause I have the exact same issues :)

Notification bar lags down, sometimes the phone feels very snappy, and a minute after that, launcherpro stops responding, but works when i press wait.

And maybe i missed this completely, but is there a solution to the "market problem" when apps download but don't install, or they don't download, just sits there.

I don't wanna go back to 2.1 again, but the market issue and the lagginess bothers me like hell!

Don't get me wrong VillianTeam, you guys rock and I can't keep my hands of this thing! Ninpos release notes alone is reason do download and flash!

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
Okay Don, give it up.... for us non tech guys, how did you get the galaxy launcher and home switcher on your hero, :). Your not holding out on us, are you. lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] westsider:
691MHz without boot animation.

i have flashed it on my hero right now

it works 100% stable

no problems at all

every benchmark and 3d app runs

orange home screen selector: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?sl0h9iih5w75q0c

galaxy launcher: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ndwo11anbm12hm1

I suspect you can only download once or twice total, I don't even have an account there, I never do file sharing so am completely clueless.

but that's them fwiw
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
by the way, I setup orange home as instructed in the original forum where robo got his info - still FCing in froyd. so it's a nogo for some reason.

I'll check logs and try to figure it out.

in teh meantime, enjoy galaxy if you always wanted an iphone, and the orange home selector is actually pretty cool. very cool when you have the orange launcher installed (even when it doesn't work it shows a nice preview screen there which is effective).

edit: correction - I followed instructions I found on xda for installing orange stuff and I don't remember where specifically, but it wasn't robo's suggestion ;-)

galaxy instructions weren't necessary because it just works :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robocik:
actually i got the orange stuff from original french orange hero ruu ;)

samsung i got from capychimp
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
post updated :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sjoerdos:
About display usage when screen off: i can only see since last unplugged.

About removing system apps:

Via pc:

connect to pc

Grab drivers (guides for that are on the net)

Command line: cd androidsdk/tools dir

Adb shell

Via phone...

Terminal emulator

Su (and then grant root access)

From here on it's the same for pc and phone:

Mount -o rw, remount /system (sets system folder to readwrite)

Cd /system/app

Ls (now you get a list of the system apps)

Rm stupidapp.apk

And stupidapp is gone, or whatever you type in there :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
The other day I decided to fully wipe :p and reinstall due to reboots. All working great, no reboots. I then went into CPUspeed and changed max from n/a to 653 and straight away it rebooted once I had come out of CPUspeed. I previously was able to use 691 kernel with no issues or reboots so could it be the opposite, as in its not the lower frequency but the higher that is arseing about with the ROM?

Also, anyone got a link to the stock gallery as I am fed up with the 3D one screwing up when I turn the phone. Or an alternative
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] einand:
i have triede all trick i can find at xda, but i cant find any solution. How do i get mms to work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, so for me, the nicest launchers in froyd 1.5 are launcherpro (of course) but I do get tired of it's minor issues sometimes... zeam (it's a very VERY nice launcher), and galaxy launcher (as per my earlier file link - I'm sure it can be downloaded elsewhere too though).

adw is pretty slow for me in froyd, I don't mind but have never loved tag home although it does work pretty well.

does anyone else experiment with launchers?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I know it's on here somewhere (probably several places) but can someone remind me how to get an apk from my computer to my phone and install the application. Specifically, I want to try the Galaxy launcher suggested by dkelley. Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pigfacesoup:
Just an FYI

If anyone's music app is force closing or making your phone unresponsive, then just crank up the minimum CPU speed to 352.

Got the problem, and messing with CPUSpeed fixed it right up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I would like to say thanks and hats off to all those that worked on this ROM. This is the first time I've flashed a ROM (many thanks also to the newbie root/flash guide by btdag) and I feel like I have a whole new phone again. Been using it for a couple days now with no problems aside from poor battery life, but that's most probably due to the fact that I've been so much time playing with the darn thing now (Angry Birds!).

SenseUI was really nice to look at, but it was just unbearably slow after the 2.1 update. Was almost thinking about getting rid of the phone and moving on, but now not so much desire to do so. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lynt:
Sorry to ask a random question here... but does anyone know where I can get the standard grey themed HTC IME-mod for the Hero? I can only locate the hires version, which yeah looks a bit mental when you install it on a Hero (like I did).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
Just cophy the .apk to your sdcard and then, using a file manager like Astro or ES File explorer, you can click the file to install
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sjoerdos:
Or via command line adb install
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
Hoi,

Just want to say that ( apart from the original theme :) ) this rom totally rocks!

I've been running Froyd 1.5 now for a week (!!!) and although i see many good

roms coming out i don't have the urge to try them out...

Froyd 1.5 just works like a charm. Only 'problem' was that i sometimes

experienced some minor lags..

After reading Pulser's post a couple of pages back i flashed a lower freq kernel

( 652mhz ) and since then it seems my phone is actually performing better

than with the 691 or Flykernel@710

So, eventhough i'm not a Villain-lover ( got my reasons for that ;) ) this rom

, imho, is definitely the best thing i've had running on my Hero since i bought it.

Thnx for the great rom!

*instead of CPUspeed i use SetCPU so i can set screen off profile to

176 / 352 conservative ---> over 40 hours of batterylife... i love it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gynjanynja:
Just trying galaxy launcher I like but where is all the settings and customisation? Or is that why it is like an iPhone ;P.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo Cortex:
I seem to have lost root access when I upgraded to a bigger SD card. This is what I did.

1. Deleted some files on SD card to make space

2. Did Nandroid plus Ext backup

3. Partitioned new SD card with same size Ext2 partition

4. Copied all data from old card to new

5. Did full wipe and then Nandroid restore

Everything seemed to be working until I ran Root Explorer but got following message.

'Root Explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access ..........

Click OK and restart the App to try again. Make sure you respond correctly to Superuser prompt.'

There was no Superuser prompt.

Restarted but same problem. Deleted Root Explorer data. Same thing. Re-installed it. Still same. Went into Superuser app and told it to forget RE. Still no joy.

I then tried some other apps, like Cache Cleaner and found that none of the apps that require root are working.

Anyone know how to restore root?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
It might be that su isn't executable. Did you try reflashing (no-wipe reflash)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
I use a program called installapk http://android.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=32963 just connect your phone to pc and double click your apk file.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo Cortex:
Thanks. That did it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Apologies for the off topic:)

@dkelley so is there anything else that can be done with the galaxy launcher

I like the 4 new icons on the home screen, the new applications menu etc, but when i go to the "Add to home screen" menu the Samsung widgets option is empty can any be added?
