I'm on Bionix 1.9 right now. I also noticed that The Sims and the Avatar launcher were removed. I never even played the Sims, but I figured I'd try it. The only thing I could think of to retrieve it was to nandroid back to stock, back up the .apk with Astro (titanium backup wasn't seeing it for some reason), nadroid back to Bionix, and then install it. That all worked out just fine. However, there seems to be no launcher for it. An dwhen you browse to the .apk in Astor, and try to "launch" it, it gives me this error:

activity not found - com.ideaworks3d.thesims3

Does anyone have any idea how to get it working again, after flashing a custom rom that removed it along with various other pre-installed apps? Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dukdukgoos:
Maybe along with the apk you need the 'data_tmo/games' directory that has the data files. That may be why your game runs but without the textures and graphics.

Link to fix

For anyone having this same issue (had this happen when I installed Obsidian 4.2) here is the fix:

http://www.thegadgetnista.com/samsung-vibrants-sims-3-collectors-edition-on-droid/

Step 1: Download the files listed.

Step 2: Install BOTH files.

Done.

[Vibrant General] feelx77:
Well, first post is troubleshoot post for me but need some suggestions to track down a small problem.

Had my phone for a while and have had no problems thus far till yesterday and i'm stumped.

Main Issue: In the settings menu when I click on "SD card and phone storege" I get a "Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. dumpstate...yada yada yada---->[Force Close]

Every other settings entry I can go into and they all work flawlessly from top Wireless and Network to bottomSoftware Update. Only the "SD card and phone storage" force closes on me.

Last thing I did was apply Project Voodoo Update3 for Vibrant and it worked fine. I was able to check the SD card/phone storage section than. I temporarily disabled voodoo to get clockwork recovery to install and work properly so I could add the latest J16 MobileAP over my existing older MobileAP. Afterward I uninstalled clockwork. Somewhere in between all of that is when it started.

I let voodoo reoptimize back to ext4 and had the issue still. So thought disabling voodoo lagfix but made no difference. Turned off and on phone 3 times, Once without the SD card even inserted. Each time I still could not enter the SD card and phone storage section in the seetings menu. Always same Sorry! Force Close message. Just bugging me. Guessing some file may be corrupted or missing in data/cache or android settings.

If anyone can steer me in the right direction to fix than I will be happy as everything else work perfect on my phone for me. Thank you for your suggestions and thoughts. tryign to avoid wiping or redoing all my apps and settings and contacts/contact pictures etc for such a small issue.

For reference the phone has been for over a month now rooted & unlocked, t-mobile startup/shutdown logos removed, battery circular icon mod, most bloatware been gone for some time, Captivate camera app installed, J12 GPS files, J16 baseband modem installed, Mobile AP J16 installed working, did not want the whole J16 update. Rather wait for froyo or full working froyo builds later. Project Voodoo lag fix installed and running. SD card is a genuine 32Gb Sandisk not ebay knockoff.

Also in case it matters, I can use gallery and view files effortlessly, Market still installs and uninstalls applications just fine as well. So has to be something minor I would guess.
[Vibrant General] rmeden:
I'm getting that while setting the System and Ringer Volume (volume set via side keys work fine).

Odin JI6 (after dead OTA)

root (will probably unroot since no remount prevents removing startup/shutdown sounds)

ROM Manager loaded

Mobile AP loaded
[Vibrant General] feelx77:
Well, this is depressing. I tried going to system volume and ringer volume and also get the Sorry! [Force Close] their as well just as you do.

Maybe for me it is the kernel that is installed when you apply the Project Voodoo lag fix. What do you all think? Do you think removing the voodoo lagfix entirely and flashing the backup orginal kernel back on would resolve it. I don't mind but i'm really just not sure what to try before changing too many things unnecessarily.
[Vibrant General] feelx77:
Just fixed it. Found the cause. Since i'm not fully on J16 update; installing the MobileAP J16 version caused the problem for me cause it re does the settings layout it seems. Flashed back original MobileAP for while i'm on JFD still.

Just thought you would like to know and noticed that you also have MobileAP installed. Make sure it is the right version for your firmware...guessing J16 your on now.
[Vibrant General] rmeden:
I didn't apply any lag fix.

I may reload JI6 and see what that does.
[Vibrant General] feelx77:
Yeah, lag fix was not the cause. Definitely my fault installing the J16 MobileAP. Put back old version and I was fine. System Volume, Ringer Volume and SD card and phone storage settings all work again. But since you are on J16 maybe thought you installed old MobileAP on your phone causing your problem . But reapplying J16 update may fix it too for you. Good luck
[Vibrant General] nobleynobe:
im getting the same thing. anyone? if i need to update the mobile ap can you please tell me how?
[Vibrant General] rmeden:
I noticed there was a JI6 MobileAP version. I had re-installed the already downloaded JFD one. I installed the JI6 MobileAP version and no longer get a crash pulling up the volume settings.
[Windows Phone 7 General] telas:
There are devices out there that are capable of running Windows Phone 7 such as the powerful HTC HD2, both HTC and Microsoft obviously decided that the HD2 isn't worth it to be upgraded to the new OS.

Someone might wonder why and the answer is:

Microsoft because of the restrictions and to mark a new begining and HTC to profit more from selling something new with little improvements.

So my questions is, how is this affecting you as a consumer, don't you feel a little betrayed? Spending lots of money on a powerful phone don't you expect from the company that manufactures it to support it a little bit more?

Someone might say that MS has restrictions etc, so HTC can't do anything about it. But sure, HTC could have said ok Microsoft, whatever you say, any new phone we make will satisfy your requirements but i already have some customers that i wish to support and voila official wp7 for hd2 for example.

I personally believe that the restrictions from Microsoft it's just the excuse for hd2 not being upgraded to wp7, what's really going on is HTC that wants to sell more phones.

That said, there will be consequences, lot's of angry owners of htc hardware will switch to other manufactures and other OS's not to mention bad reputation that they do not support owners and that's not good for both MS and HTC because automatically makes them unreliable to the eyes of the consumer.

Taking that into account, both of these companies knows what the consequences will be, i strongly believe that we might see an official upgrade for hd2 in the future at least.

Id like to hear your opinions on that matter.

Does anyone know how I can get the apks for a couple apps that I cannot get in the market since I've updated to Froyo? I tried app brain and fast web installer, but for some reason, when I try it, it opens in the market. I've got the app installer, of course, but I don't know how to get the apks and my phone is not rooted (I'm afraid to bite the bullet).

I need the apk for

the Square app - squareup.com

Pure Calendar Widget - I have paid for it

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You have to edit the fingerprint in build.prop to pretend you are still on Eclair JH7, for which you have to be rooted. Bite the bullet man.

theres an apbrain app that allows you to push installs from market via webbrowser but Im still on eclair so......... but it works great you just enable it and browse the market from appbrain website,even from your phones browser pushed angry birds on today
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sanumaj:
This has been resolved in multiple forums

for everyone with this problem all you need is root explorer or something else that lets you view and edit the build.prop file. you need to replace the part that starts with ro.build.fingerprint to this:

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys

Good luck.

Did you actually look and tap the button on the top of root explorer as soon as you open it that says "Mount system as R/W" or something along those lines?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sanumaj:
Long press on the file, that will open up a bunch of options.. Scroll down to open with text editor. Edit and save. The root explorer will automatically create a back up of the original

[Droid Incredible Android Development] billygalbreath:
We finally got our hands on a Inc device (a big thank you to Ruggar for loaning us the device to dev on) and lo and behold, we are unable to touch the green droid in setup wizard (this is a recently reported issue among quite a few users).

We were unable to replicate this issue before, but have finally found the problem with our loaned test device.

The kernel we use puts us in a bootloop right after installing the Rom. This issue is still being tested and a solution will be in the works.

Using other kernels (like King's) let us boot up the device, but sadly we were unable to get feedback when touching the screen. Turns out the loaned device is an SLCD screen, not AMOLED. These kernels do not contain SLCD drivers, thus you cannot touch the screen.

So, if you have an Inc with an SLCD screen, you cannot currently run ShadowRom. All Inc's with the AMOLED screen can run it perfectly fine.

Rest assured this is a major issue, and we are working on a fix asap. We'll keep you posted.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] scarfoot:
Is there an easy way to find out what type of screen you have?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] billygalbreath:
The easiest way is to look at the SKU on your box. If it ends with W2 then you have an AMOLED screen, if it ends with W3 then you have an SLCD screen.

Other ways I've heard (but cannot verify) if the SLCD screen has little "dots" 1/4 inch apart on it that you can see when the screen is off, at a certain angle in certain lighting.

Another for sure way is to make a nandroid backup, and try to flash ShadowRom. :p

I dont personally have an Inc, so I was just stating what I've heard, and maybe I had it backwards.

Anyone with an SLCD Inc wanna verify there are no dots on your screen about 1/4 inch apart so we can use this as an easy method to determine the difference visually?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sucker4pa1n:
My phone is the original (preorder) shipment. Definitely AMOLED, and definitely has the dots. Hard to see, and with a screen protector its neigh impossible. But the dots are definitely AMOLED not SLCD.

There are many threads arguing about what the dots are, but I think all phones with AMOLED seem to have it. Here's a picture

[Droid Incredible Android Development] billygalbreath:
Have you tried v0.2.2 yet? (its not on Rom Manager)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr1070:
Those dots are below the "glass" they are on blackberry phones too. It breaks the digitizer layer up to allow for actuated selection and recognition of pinching and swiping. When you touch the screen you reflect a small electrical charge back to the device to interpret as a selection. If it wasn't broken up on quadrants it wouldn't be as accurate.

That's my understanding

Look at the hardware version in about phone > hardware information.

Hi all, I'm stuck with some work and probably someone could help me out..

I'm trying to find differences in the htc desire (generally android) and a windows pc .. Just something you can do on both devices, but with different approaches.

for example, sending email - both do the same job but they got different ways of doing it... connection /processor speeds doesnt matter..

I'm trying to find some other basic and very common uses, and games also(simple ones).. not accelerometer ones... :D:D

i'm just stuck, if anyone could give me an idea would b great.. I have a desire and will have this tested on the tasks by the public against a laptop...

2. What is a good way to backup everything on my phone? and where do i find it?

3. What are cool apps or widgets to have that can only be used on a rooted phone?

4. Lastly, will someone point me in the direction of a manual or instructions on how to install custom roms and how to get froyo.
