How to update the preinstalled apps like Maps?

I've been using FR008 for a week now and everything is smooth. Battery life was short so I switched to the HK kernel, and it's all very stable ever since. Many thanks to att1 and all the other developers for their hard work!

Now I am offered market updates to apps that was in the ROM, like Google Maps. But when I accept the update they fail to install. I searched a bit for a fix but didn't find any easy solution (easy meaning without involving the sdk and adb).

Do I really have surgically remove them from the ROM using adb or by offline editing? No other way?

Highly appreciate any comments!
[HTC Aria Android Development] 0ptimus82:
I also tried to update maps without success, even by going to maps mobile web page when i click "download from market" the app is not found.
[HTC Aria Android Development] AlbinoAsian:
If you remove them, there is an upside ... you can move them to SD after you install them from the market
[HTC Aria Android Development] ninestraycats:
So I gather the old market is gone for good? I really can't STAND that awful marketing carousel at the top of the new market, it takes half the screen and displays apps I don't want. Horrid horrid!

Is it safe to try and find a Vending.apk from an older 2.2 release and install that? Obviously I'd backup the current Vending.apk.
[HTC Aria Android Development] the_hatter:
Did you make a backup of your apps using titanium backup before you flashed the ROM? You could try restoring the application using TB and see if that helps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] shawkes:
You should not have to remove the apps from the rom to update them. I would suggest using Titanium Backup to wipe the android market data then try to update the apps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mfmf_2:
I am having this problem too. The phone doesnt detect my 3g network as it usually had. When I go to Settings>Wireless & Networks to uncheck and re-check the Mobile Network field... the reading was 'Turning on....' but not 'Connected'.

Any help?
[HTC Aria Android Development] SaUrEs79:
Hello attn thanks a lot for this amazing Rom , after trying many Roms , i found this one the best in every thing even the apps which enable the market and didn't work in the other Roms woke in this , but i have a questions or reproach to you , you supported this Rom with many language except the Arabic language , we just need Arabic support in reading an writing not for interface and menus , hope if you have a solution to tell me about it
[HTC Aria Android Development] mfmf_2:
Problem solved!!! I just need to reboot and wipe data/factory reset.

Time to enjoy Froyo 2.2 then. Will update more on how it works on my device!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] GroovyGeek:
Have a similar problem. Swype 1.56 works fine but 2.4.44 hacked has the blue border problem. Except that I can't get it to work at all. If I enable the stock keyboard and then go back to swype I get "swype has expired" message the first time and the blue border after that. I did use the hacked version that supposedly has the expiration issue fixed 2.4.44.1092. What version are you using? I would not mind the minor hassle of toggling on reboot, but typing with ANY keyboard on Aria's screen is a dealbreaker for me
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
Yikes......he said "dealbreaker"
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
I have noticed that for most Google apps you need to be in a location where paid apps are available; even if they are not paid apps they simply will not show on the Android Market...I am not sure why...it's odd because you can find Google Sky Maps, but you can't find Google Maps...
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
Yup: they were deleted from the .zip file before it was flashed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] MythicBlue:
yeah go here http://circle.glx.nl/ it's UOT Kitchen

i have the circle percent one with gradient colors... there are other kinds... you must be rooted... follow directions and you will be fine
[HTC Aria Android Development] Hckd-aria:
!Noob alert! Ok guys, I just had a quick question concerning kernels. The latest liberated ROM has a fully functioning OC kernel. Is it possible to take that kernel and use it in conjunction with Cyanogen 6.1.1? Thanks for any helpful replies.

Cheers
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
CM 6.1.1 already has a kernel that supports over-clocking. You need to install SetCpu for over-clock settings.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Hckd-aria:
Ah, okay. Thanks for the help.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Sultan Ali Fezar:
That's mathematically impossible :-)
[HTC Aria Android Development] BuckMulligan:
I chortled.
[HTC Aria Android Development] axleforce:
I had tried the Titanium backup thing already before posting.

Anyway I have figured it out now I think. Android market apparently ddint like my location!

I have fixed the issue using the market enabler.

(code.google.com/p/market-enabler)

I am not allowed to pos external links :confused:

Many thanks to all!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Aye. Common misuse of bargaining jargon, as it turns out. Piss poor thing to say in any event.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
No, not without breaking things on the CM ROM. The kernel must be built differently. Don't know why you'd want to anyway - since this kernel was derived from the CM kernel (with alterations for the HTC Sense ROM) anyway.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Sultan Ali Fezar:
Total deal breaker!

this rom its to good and I'm used to having may balls squeezed off by att, while reciting the pledge of adherence.

So could you please either hit me with a car or start making this rom suck please or the deal is off totally

:-)
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
hey guys, been trying to get this ROM onto my aria for quite some time now... from the red triangle of death while trying to use ROM manager, to the message "waiting for root... ok to reboot"...

is there anything at all i can try? flashing back to stock ROM? alt method of flashing this ROm besides Clockworkmod Recovery and Ubuntu Live CD???

Any and all suggestions are greatly greatly appreciated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Quit trying to use ROM manager. If you've rooted using Unrevoked, start clockwork the correct way as outlined in the FAQ.
[HTC Aria Android Development] majid9001:
I installed this Rom & everything is well except the sliding home screen and Applications Grid View is not smooth anymore...

HTC Aria
[HTC Aria Android Development] soulonfirexx:
Hey all, I am looking to upgrade to this ROM from Liberated 2.1. I really want to use Aps2Ext but one of my apps, 3G Watchdog says I should not transfer it to the SD card and to use it as a service.

How can I have certain apps install on my phone and others install onto the SD card?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
Yeah, it runs fine, but certain animations aren't smooth on it. It just runs kind of slow. It's clunky. Go use Cyanogenmod. Battery life, animations, customization, just about *everything* is better.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
I'm using LauncherPro with this rom and it runs fantastic. No clunkiness to speak of.
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
I'm not only trying ROM Manager, Im trying to install Unrevoked, can't even boot into recovery, it's like I'm stuck. Anything I try doesn't work.

For example:

- can't boot into clockwork recovery via volume down & power button power up method (black screen with red triangle & exclamation mark)

- can't boot into clockwork recovery via ROM Manager (black screen with red triangle & exclamation mark)

- can't install Unrevoked in windows with hboot usb drivers installed ("waiting for root... ok to reboot" error message)

- can't install Unrevoked with ubuntu LiveCD ("waiting for root... ok to reboot" error message again)

Is there anything I can do or am I just going to have to stay with this ROM?
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
i forgot to include this:

- I can't even install a rom or back one up using ROM Manager (ends with black screen with red question mark) which is why I stopped trying with ROM Manager

Is there ANYTHING anyone can suggest besides throwing this phone into an active volcano and spending $500 for the Samsung Captivate?!?!?!?!?
[HTC Aria Android Development] SectorNine50:
Anyone else have an issue with network data connections disappearing after a time of use and the only way to get them back is to reboot the phone? During this time, the wireless network will work fine if I enable it, but I cannot get 3G to operate.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
Send it to me.....I live 10 miles from an active volcano. You need to get the recovery on your phone using unrevoked. Keep trying using the linux cd method.
[HTC Aria Android Development] quickv8s10:
I have a question? I have had the Aria sense the day they came out and have loved the phone. 2 weeks ago I got the nerve up to root and install this Rom on my phone mainly to remove the ATT bloat ware and help my performance and battery life. But sense I have install the Rom my battery has when to crap!!!! It last about half the time it did with the stock Rom. I used set CPU and set it for the best battery life. I noticed to I use a app killer I can kill all apps and open it back up after 10 sec and most of the apps have started back. Even if I don't use my phone all day any just leave it sitting from morning to night it will lose about 40% battery just sitting. I can't stop all the apps from starting back up by there self. What can I do to fix it?
[HTC Aria Android Development] SectorNine50:
Have you already installed HTC sync on your computer so you get the abd drivers? Installing (but not running) HTC Sync fixed my connection problems.

One more thing to try; download the stock rom from HTC's website and throw that on, that should restore the stock recovery system.

Battery drain from Wifi ?

I had the same problem with the battery drain after upgrading to FR008.

I found the root cause to be the Wifi. When I left it turned on my battery would only last for ~ 11 hours with limited use. Seemed like it did not matter if I had a Wifi connection or not.

Experimented with turning off Wifi and found the battery only drained to about 95% after 12 hours !

Tried some Wifi Managers (Juice Defender, Wisync, Green Power free) and settled on Green Power).

Let me know if anybody else has experienced the same.
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
SectorNine50 - I'm gonna try that, its the only thing I haven't tried...
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
You are obviously not connecting to the phone properly with your USB port. Try another data cable or try another computer with the livecd.

Rom manager can't do a blessed thing unless you are rooted, and it cannot install clockwork for the first time - so stop using ROM manager.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Stop using task killers. They are counter productive.

keep wifi sleep policy to never if you can and reduce the frequency that everything syncs to the minimum. No way it should lose that much charge just sitting over the day.
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
attn1 - i'm rooted, currently running your "liberated_aria_b003_signed" ROM (with "superuser permissions" app).

I have tried 3 different machines, WinXP, Win 7 Pro, and Win 7 ultimate.

I will try another data cable though...
[HTC Aria Android Development] thedicarlos:
de-odexed

Whew, I almost made an ass of myself and asked what 'de-odexed' meant. Not only did I learn what it was from this link, but I learned what the Dalvik-cache is and wow, so much more made sense!

Thanks ATTN1 for teaching me so much about my phone and Android. I almost abandoned it until I found XDADevelopers!

Gino
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
How did you root?
[HTC Aria Android Development] AlbinoAsian:
Hey mate you have a few options / things to try to improve your battery.

Number 1 would be to remove the task killer. On froyo they will try in vain to kill processes but instead kill your battery. That's no fault of this Rom.

Number 2, pop3 email settings... they can be another battery culprit. Don't let them auto check every 5 mins.

Number 3 try the HK kernel. Many have noticed an improvement. I didn't really pay that much attention but the kernel helped my WiFi so I stuck with it.

There are other things that can drain the battery but I'm sure you've done some research

[HTC Aria Android Development] majid9001:
is there any fix for smoother home and scroll effect in app list?
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
I rooted as part of the process when flashing the rom i'm using now, flashing custom recovery with adk, etc...
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
That does not tell me how you installed the ROM or rooted. Did you use unrevoked to install clockwork, or did you do it the original way with the adb push method that was very critical regarding timing?

If the newest version of Unrevoked fails when run from Shad0wf0x's livecd and you are running LA B003, then I can assume one of the following:

The phone is not up and running in Android

USB Debugging is not enabled on the phone.

Your USB cable is not a proper data cable or is damaged. Some aftermarket cables are made for charging, and do not support data properly.

The PC you are using has some issue with it's USB ports.

The USB port on the phone is damaged
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
sorry for being vague, I did it the original way with the adb push method that was very critical regarding timing.

as far as the rest, here's more info:

* The phone is not up and running in Android == phone is running fine

* USB Debugging is not enabled on the phone == phone says it's working but how do i really know?

* Your USB cable is not a proper data cable or is damaged. Some aftermarket cables are made for charging, and do not support data properly. == I'm using the original cable, and even tried another HTC usb data cable

* The PC you are using has some issue with it's USB ports. == again ports work fine when using them with other hardware, and have tried on 3 diferent PC's

* The USB port on the phone is damaged == i can access the phone for data transfers via usb cable and charging as well...
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Okay, then you need to try shad0wf0x's livecd spin to install clockwork on your phone. That original method did NOT install clockwork on your phone, it just started clockwork so you could flash LA B003. ROM manager can't flash anything without clockwork installed, and ROM manager can't install it.

Go here: http://goo.gl/irv8 boot into linux with a CD made from the image linked in that thread, then make sure the phone is up and running with USB debugging enabled, then you can start the script.

If you get stuck, meet us in IRC. This is normally not that hard.
[HTC Aria Android Development] vipersvcd:
I just want to say thanks to attn1

I worked with CyanogenMOD at first but it did not work well for me

Many force closes the menu was not smooth - not even the unlock phone worked smooth ,

I have been using this last version from the day it was out and I can say I finally happy with my Aria .

Fast smooth . I have great battery life .

I am using setcpu with 806/245 - On Demand ,

and very happy with the phone .

I am hooked on senseUI and probably never install any rom that does not have it .

Thanks again attn1 .
[HTC Aria Android Development] soulonfirexx:
I finally updated to the latest FR008 ROM and everything is working great. The only weird things I have found is that the Wifi will not reconnect after a reboot unless I reconfigure all the Wifi settings. It will stay at scanning > connecting > disconnected.

Also, turning off Wifi and switching to 3G or H, it takes a good 20-30 seconds for it to connect. Mobile network says "turning on" and finally connects. This isn't a huge problem, I can wait but it's a big difference from 2.1. Is it because Wifi completely disables the Mobile Network instead of over-riding it like in 2.1?
[HTC Aria Android Development] vipersvcd:
I do not have any of the issues you described with my aria
[HTC Aria Android Development] mosamjc:
I can confirm that this isn't his imagination. I have the same problem when connecting to adjacent points on my wireless network at work. Not a huge deal as turning off the wifi or connecting to a differently named AP momentarily usually solves the problem. We are just lucky that attn1 has given us working wifi with the newer kernel at all without the final source from HTC. The bcm driver has always been flaky in some way or another and it is HTC and broadcoms shortcoming rather than attn1's.
[HTC Aria Android Development] soulonfirexx:
Very lucky indeed. It will just take some getting used to on my part. I don't reboot my phone all that often so it will not be a major problem at all.

I am sure this won't be the last time, but THANK YOU attn1 for the great work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] GroovyGeek:
Sorry, did not mean to imply that attn1's work is not extremely useful to many here. We all have our priorities for using the device, and for me Swype is an essential utility. I know of attn1's thoughts on the subject and respect them. However, this is a very personal decision and if it implied that I am passing judgement on the FR008 ROM then I apologize.

As an update, Swype 1.60.36.8214 (the one posted on XDA) works fine for me. Both 1.56 and 2.4.44 produce the "expired" messages, even though they are allegedly the hacked versions. There was some blurb earlier in the tread about a license.dat file in the apk. I will dig around and if I come up with something I will post here.

Cheers
[HTC Aria Android Development] fxpaul:
I had some odd wifi issues too. After sitting idle for a while, it would drop off the wifi and wouldn't get back on the network unless I switched wifi off and then back on. It also had problems switching smoothly to 3G after it had been on wifi. It seemed like the phone was having issue with handing the data coontrol between wifi and 3g. I installed the HK kernel and it's working awesome now so you might give it a try.
[HTC Aria Android Development] themacman1000:
!Noobz Alert! Which ROM?

I've successfully rooted my Aria and I want to install the liberated ROM. One problem, which one? I see there are 4 links to liberated ROMs, I just don't know if I should download from XDA or neolobster. Could some one please help me figure out which one and *maybe* how to flash it? Thanks in advance!:confused:

P.S. attn1, you rock!
[HTC Aria Android Development] brswattt:
Here you go buddy.

http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/liberated_aria_FR008_signed.zip
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
It sounds like you have a data corruption issue. Did you wipe data/factory reset before you installed the ROM?

There are some access points that are finicky - hence the alternate kernel. Most should not have trouble with the supplied kernel and a complete wipe before flashing the rom.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Swype is crap software - expiring betas that work replaced by other expiring betas that do not and distributed by butt munchers who refuse to use Android market - if anyone has trouble with Swype, please don't ask about it here - go to a Swype forum and complain to them. That's where the problems lie - invariably.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
butt munchers

;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] themacman1000:
Thanks brswattt, why the neolobster one? What makes it so special compared to the other ones?

Also, what are the bugs with that ROM?
[HTC Aria Android Development] brswattt:
It's not any different, its just a link to the FR008 ROM. Newest Stable Release.

Not too many bugs, some people have been complaining about wifi dropping, but some have fixed it with the hongkong kernel.
[HTC Aria Android Development] AlbinoAsian:
Yeh he's right thats the one you want... if for any reason you want to switch over to the HK Kernel you still need to install the one brswattt linked to. Its a great ROM, so get into it!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] themacman1000:
Again, thanks brswattt and albinoasian. I love the feeling of froyo and being free from at&t. I must say, the XDA community is real helpful and nice compared to other forums I've been on.:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
I have been using this rom since it ATTN1 and crew came out with it. No issues at all. Its wonderful. It also amazes me how and why ATT and SPrint too with the Hero, all say this cannot be done. Yet, here we are with Froyo 2.2 running on our ARIA's as well as it running at 806 mhz, stable. :-)

Once again, thanks to the Dev boys n gals that made this possible.
[HTC Aria Android Development] pete2275:
I booted into the LiveCD and everything went fine with revoked but the process still ended with the "waiting for root... safe to reboot" message.

Attn1 I truly apologize and appreciate your help but I think its a lost cause trying to update this phone. Have you encountered anyone else having as many problems as I've had with this?

Thanks again for all your help, your efforts are truly appreciated!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] brswattt:
This happened to me too.

Just close the tool, and start it up again. It will be okay.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
No, if you are using the livecd and your machine has good USB ports, then it's generally pretty painless. How did you start reflash from the livecd? Why not drop in the irc channel in my sig?

Edit: We've confirmed a bug in the newest version (3.3) of Unrevoked.

Run the earlier version from a stock Aria ROM (Android 2.1)

Windows Version 3.21: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash_package.exe

Linux Version 3.21: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash.tar.gz

Mac Version 3.21: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/Reflash.dmg
[HTC Aria Android Development] bl1983:
even unrevoked team has updated the tool to v.3.3, we still can't use it to root the official OTA froyo?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
If you look at the Unrevoked wiki/changelog you notice that version 3.3 has a note about the Wildfire Froyo update is not rootable yet either. HTC has changed the bootloader on the Wildfire/Aria/Gratia Froyo 2.2 and a root exploit has not been discovered/developed yet.

I installed lcd density changer recently and didnt like it so a just stopped using it. Then all of a sudden, the lcd density of my phone seems to have changed again. Remove superuser permissions from app. Reboot. Fine. Two days later, weird lcd density of phone again. Uninstall app. reboot. Fine. Few days later, same problem again. What is causing this? should i wipe?
