[HTC Aria General] SoCalHTCFuze:
Yes thank you, that's what I needed. It looks like the liberated rom I am running has an update to fix this issue for me, r012. Which is good because I couldnt get any of my apps to mount /system in r/w mode. Unfortunately, new rom don't seem to fix this for me, still can't see square on the market... Must be something to do with the date wipe requirement. Need to find out how that works.
[HTC Aria General] bkmo:
You need to wipe market data. You can use Titanium backup. You can mount /system r/w from recovery only.
[HTC Aria General] SoCalHTCFuze:
bkmo, your the man (twice, once for the other post! ;)! Downloaded the free version of titanium, selected the market app for backup, deleted all data and it worked like a charm! Excellent advice, none of the other methods were working for me!
[HTC Aria General] labarks:
Hurray!

Using the following instructions and the old Aria fingerprint from here I was able download protected apps from the market again. I did need to reboot my Aria into recovery mode to move the build.prop file and clear the Market app cache before it worked though.

Someone should make an app for this (and that would remove it when its finally fixed for real), just like the Eris Market Fix app.
[HTC Aria General] dexmix:
an app won't do it till we can write to system without having to be in recovery.
[Droid X General] Vasichko:
I have downloaded both of these? The only difference I see is rom manager allows you to download roms, backup, restore, etc, from within the android OS.

Is that the only difference and they are essentially the same thing?
[Droid X General] akanealw:
You need the bootstrap recovery to boot into Koush's recovery on the DX. You can't get there from the Rom Manager alone. You may be able to boot into Koush's recovery from Rom Manager if you have the bootstrap recovery installed, but you definitely need the bootstrap recover installed.
[Droid X General] denpad2010:
Its this really true?? Cause i remember i use to have the rom manager only and i could install roms themes etc...i am saying i rememner cause right now i am using a droid 2 no rooted everyyhing stock i am waiting for mg replacement my dear droid x....
[Droid X General] kdkinc:
All I use is Koush's DroidX recovery NEVER had a issue.To me a ROM Manager is a duplication of efforts to a point.

Koush's tool is a must have ....

:cool::cool:
[Droid X General] zanix:
On my X, if I want to use Rom Manager to backup, restore, install a new Rom, I need to use the DroidX Bootstrap to apply the bootstrap, then Rom Manager can do it's thing
[Droid X General] denpad2010:
Yes u right o need both i was wrong...

after i transfer any files (pictures, videos, music) to my Vibrant's SD card from my PC, it is always corrupt when trying to open on it my phone. pictures and videos dont open. music is just a quick snippet. even trying to open it back up through my PC its corrupt, but wasnt when i first to loaded it. in order for me to get any files on my SD card, i have to remove it from my Vibrant and put it into my G1 and do it through there. any idea what could be wrong? thanks for any thoughts/advice

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlairDevil:
Over the past 6 months I have collected a plethora of "****" on my SD card, lots of apps that left behind empty folders, logs, etc. I want to "fresh start it" and wipe everything off of it to eliminate all the folders that are no longer needed. Yes, I'm a app downloader/uninstaller, lol and as I'm sure some of you know leaves behind a trail of crap on your storage medium.

My question is, what does the SD card HAVE to have left on it (if anything) for the phone to operate correctly? I am Rooted/S-Off/SkyRaider 3.3.

Do i need to leave update.zip for instance on it, pictures i can i move to my Linux box, but I would hate to format the SD only to find out I just borked myself by removing a crucial system file the custom roms or rooting need.

I would also move my RomManager backup to my LB as well, just thought of that....

Anyone know?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmartman711:
i would leave clockwordmod folder, android.tether, android, and titanium backup folder..i mean thats what i have and would keep on my phone...I'm sure your setup is similar.

Thank you! =)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SR3TLAW:
Damn good post. I went ahead and wiped my SD as well through clockwork. I saved my pictures and stuff to my desktop and then retransfered from there. What really sucks is organizing my pictures/music/media/ Sometimes when I switch ROM's I forget the camera auto saves pictures to internall emmc folder. What would be prime is to have it auto sync with a service like drop box.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoDj:
so... we dont need :

"update.zip"

data

permissions log

blackberry? (never understood this being on my card)

etc...

i just formatted card via settings - storage - card format...

it took like 2 secs... and i have 3-4 gig of music on there...

seemed too fast for a format...

only 2 files it left on card was android.secure and lost.dir

i am re-adding some files i need, but wondering if your list above is the only "neccessary" files - obviously i'm adding my backups but i'm nervous cause theres a ton of files i'll be "missing"

i do have it backed up on 2 pc's, so i guess i'm covered...

hoping this helps - really just want a fresh canvas to work with...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrafnahnef:
Yelp! Now I'm stuck ;(

Recently I upgraded from OpenDesire 3.1.x to CyanogenMod 6.0.2. I did a full wipe. Everything seemed to be working, besides apps2sd, so I did that with a script I found at the cyanogenmod forums (fr_a2sd-something). After a bit of trouble it seemed to work, upon I made the terrible misstake of trying to restore my old backup of my ext4 partion. A terrible misstake.

After this I tried to do the S-OFF thingy for full r/w. But it failed (no brick, just a failure).

At this time almost all apps (including android apps) crashed at startup. No widgets worked at all. ADW became allmost unworkable with constant crashes.

In despair I tried to delete my apps folder from the ext4 partition, and now things got even worse. I decided I needed to reflash Cyanogenmod, but RomManager wouldn't start again. So I turned of the phone and selected "reboot in recovery. But to my great horror, it didn't restart in ClockWorkRecovery. It started in HTC recovery, and I now can't seem to reach ClockWorkMod to reflash Cyanogenmod (or any other ROM).

When I booted up the phone nothing worked at all. It is just a dialog-loop with a crash in com.android.acore. Re-adding my apps directory to the ext4 partition and re-booting didn't help. :(

My next attempt was to reflash ClockWorkMod (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), but that doesn't work due to:

sending 'recovery' (4216 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

So my last hope was to re-root the darn thing with unRevoked 3.21. But the binary won't run on my Arch Linux:

./reflash: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Any ideas on how to make my phone usable again? Before I brick it up completely.

Please, help a fellow android user in despair!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cribeiro:
When I switch off my Galaxy S (it has JPK ROM) and switch it on again (soft reset) I get these bugs:

1 - In the Samsung screens (idle screens) panel 3, disappear one icon and in the panel 4 disappear 2 icons.

2 - My Time zone (London+1 hour) change to Time zone London+0 hour (Casablanca).

3 - My language change back to English

It's easy to put back that alterations, but it's annoying to make this all the times I switch off the Galaxy S.

Can anybody confirm if is this a general behavior of the JPK ROM ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
I have not had any of these problems (my homescreen stays like I put it, time zone stays Pacific, and language remains English). Sorry I haven't really heard of anything like this, but since it's a leaked firmware there are bound to be some bugs.

My biggest gripe is that you can't change the UA String in the JPK browser without going through all sorts of hoops to replace it with a patched version.

[Fascinate Android Development] ryanbeu:
Ok so I have an app NinjaMorph installed which allows me to open .apk files and swap out a file (say an icon file) and then repackages up the .apk for me.. so far it's working as expected.. the only problem I'm having now is figuring out the locations of some of the apps I have installed as it seems that some of them aren't listed or at least don't appear to be.

Anyone have any idea where or how I can figure out the install locations on apps that are already installed? Is there another app I can install that will provide that info perhaps?

For instance the GasBuddy app. It doesn't show up anywhere in the system/app directory...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

you need Better Cut its a paid app on the market iv had it since it came out back on the G1. its great replace any apps icon with any image you want

they even have Themes and icon packs available for free once you download it so if you want all your icons one style/theme it will do them all. or you can just select individuals
[Fascinate Android Development] Florynce:
No problem.

johnt2k: I think he's talking about customizing icons within the app, like menu buttons etc.
[Fascinate Android Development] ryanbeu:
Actually what I'm trying to do is change a few icons in the app drawer. I can use Desktop Visualizer to make custom shortcuts no problem but changing the icons in the app drawer is a little giving me trouble.

I've been trying to use this Ninja Morph app to edit the .apk files and swap in the icon I want but it've only had it to actually work and with my settings and contact apps. Doesn't seem to take on the others i've tried to actually apply the change.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordazoroth:
I hate managing folders so now I use directory bind which allows me to bind two folders together. Basically you create another downloads folder on your external sd card and use directory bind to "bind" them. Checkbox to transfer contents and your downloads (source) folder will be dumped into the empty folder you've created automatically (destination must be empty when checking the box). When altering files in either downloads folder, the changes appear in both. When you look at storage, the original source folder is not calculated into your used internal storage amount even though every other app sees files in there (since that would defeat the purpose). I use it for my downloads, camera and several apps and game folders not designed to be pushed to SD. Instead of continuously resetting app download destinations, I sit back and relax knowing every app downloads to the proper place (minus the rogues who think they deserve their own folder lol). When flashing a new ROM, simply unbind everything first and disable autostart, backup with titanium backup, after restore, you should be good (depending on your new version of android in which case you may need to adjust some settings). If setting up from scratch again, assuming your working folder structure is still in tact, you can bind again without ticking the box (since the files are in their proper place and a transfer is no longer necessary).

You can get it here, it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, but I've tested it from Android 4.0 through 4.2.2 and it's perfect (settings adjustments will likely be required): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
