Question: I cannot register to my google account

I have a NC, 1.0.1. Rooted flawlessly yesterday. I yet had great problems to register with my Google account. The NC works a long while with signing in... and then says: can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. At the same time I could reach my Google account via the Web on the NC without difficulty, so there are no Wi-Fi problems obviously. Finally, after some hours, I managed it somehow, don't really remember what I did. Market etc, all worked.

This morning, when starting the NC it went to a reset by itself. After that, I had to setup the NC and register at B&N again, without problems, and then to connect to my Google account again. WHICH DOES NOT WORK THIS TIME AT ALL. But again, I can reach Google via the Web. But that does not help for setting up my account, or. Cannot reach Market and all this.

What shall I do? Root again?? Is this problem known?

Many thanks for any help,

wernerml1

can't register with market

Having the same problem, except that I have not been able to connect to the market at all. No ideas yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] destrekor:
I'm kind of become both numb and amused with all the suggestions for the problem "market isn't showing all apps" ends up being "get the new market, or rotate to landscape."

That's not my problem, I can scroll in portrait just fine, but I am using the latest version of the market app.

But I am most definitely NOT seeing all the apps. Free and paid, there are numerous apps that do not show up (and direct links give an error like "what, this doesn't exist at all, 404 dude", yet they show up normal on my Droid).

Getting to be a real bummer, I don't want to rely on backing up apps from my Droid... or worse, not seeing an app and basically just going on without ever knowing it exists.

All I want to do is open up a few .apk's and change the notification bar icons to look better on a black bar. I've accomplished this so far, but I keep getting errors after I zip them back to .apk's and try to install. After some research it seems I need to sign them. What is the easiest way to do this?

Much Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Emul8or:
7zip

download 7zip, then you can open the .apk in archive drop in the icons and wont have to resign.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jayzeroeee:
I have 7zip already, is there a certain way to open it in archive, or is it just the regular way. Just now I opened it in 7zip, dropped my new files into it, and then zipped it up again. Then on my phone I changed the extension from zip to apk, and I got the same parsing errror as usual.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fonix232:
That's stupid. If you change ANYTHING inside an APK, you have to resign. The signing method is the following for a new, freshly created apk:

- List all files into /META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, with their SHA1-digest checksum

- Place the public key to this folder too (to be used for verification)

- For all files, 'sign' their SHA1-digest with the private key-certificate and store it under /META-INF/CERT.SF

And when you install an app, it will check.

First, the SHA1-digest does not match the one in MANIFEST.MF. It get's overwritten temporarily, but when the system checks this DIGEST against the signed digest, it will fail and drop you back -> APK is useless.

Use testsign.jar to sign your files, google it, and you will find many tutorials!

Basic usage (command line):

java -classpath testsign.jar testsign [inputfile.apk] [*OPTIONAL*outputfile.apk]

If no outputfile is specified, output will overwrite input file!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jayzeroeee:
So I guess the answer is there is no easy way to do this...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fonix232:
Man, I just told you the easy way...

Grab the testsign.jar, place it next to edited APK, and type what I wrote, and you are done! APK signed!

Or, you can use APK Manager, what has a built in signing tool :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jayzeroeee:
One more question. I have found two places that have a Google Voice apk. There is one in data/app and also in system/app. Which one should I edit? Then when I am done (if I can get it signed) do I need to put it back in the right spot, or can I just install it like a regular apk?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jayzeroeee:
Turns out a really easy way to do this is with Ninja Morph.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] soyef:
easiest way to sign an apk is to download zipsigner from the market (free app)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Emul8or:
Easy way

Before you say a method is stupid, try it first. I've modded my framework-res.apk many times with this method. Copy drawable-hdpi from your .apk and edit the .png's, then right click on the .apk and select 7zip>open archive and drop in the modded drawable-hdpi. Done, no need to resign.

Stericson made a batch file to sign easily (here) if you don't like the 7zip method
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kellinwood:
Another way is by using themes (morphs) with ZipThemer. Here's an example. ZipThemer signs patched files and then packages them in a signed update zip file that you flash to apply the changes.

Ken
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] britoso:
I have a batch file that is invoked by right clicking on an apk and choosing "open with->sign apk", a new signed apk is created with "-signed.apk" appended to the name.

Initial setup takes a few minutes but later on signing takes < 3 seconds :P

note: /system apks dont need to be resigned.

attached, needs java.

To associate it with apk files right click on an apk, choose open with, browse and select "sign apk.bat", uncheck "make this the default action"
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
Here is the latest leak, in CWM flashable form, both stock and deodexed. (i know krylon360 posted a deodexed JL4 rom, but i was in the middle of batch uploading when i found out)

I have included untermensch's modded 3e recovery. this is COMPLETELY stock, even has annoying tmobile boot sounds. i took the modem and zimage from the ODIN file. It also comes rooted already.

DISABLE ANY LAGFIXES FIRST (like voodoo).

Stock Odex *Read Disclaimer*

Stock Deodexed (use this if you want to flash modded framework files, like future gingerbread themes, etc)

Wifi reboot loop fix included (thanks Krylon360/TeamWhiskey for alerting me that wifi reboot looping was a problem and providing the fix).

Disclaimer: To get the odex version to work, i had to remove a few things. it was having errors because /system was being filled. I had to remove a few files to get it to work. here is what i removed:

Slacker Radio

Layer

Amazon

Kindle

Power On Sound

Shutdown Sound

Now, all the apps i removed can be downloaded from the market (they would be updated anyway). I am attaching the annoying tmobile boot sounds for those that must have them. But it works now.

Using Root Explorer (or, android Commander when booted into CWM):

Put PowerOn.wav in /system/etc/

and

Put shutdown.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui/

[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:
Questions!

Questions:

1) Do I need to put a pit file into ODIN with this? If so, which pit file? Can I use the same 512 pit I used with JFD in ODIN?

2) I opened up the tar file, and I don't see a dbdata file. Last time I used odin to flash a tar without a dbdata I got an error upon reboot. Is no dbdata needed? Suggestion?

EDIT: WOOPS I meant to post this in the thread with the ODIN version. wrong thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] mrsvictoriarich:
Hmm. Worked for my husband? His cwm wasn't acting right. But it did flash ok.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
use 512 pit

flash the tar

once booted, go to Settings>Privacy>Reset

all done.

But that is the ODIN version, this and mine are the CWM versions, no ODIN needed.
[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:
Thanks, but I meant to post that in the ODIN JL4 thread!
[Vibrant Android Development] maydaysos:
which one did you flash, stock or deodexed
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
i'm re uploading the deodexed first. then the stock odex one. there wasn't a bug with the installer, but there was the wifi reboot loop that was apparent in jk6. that'll be fixed when the links are back up.
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
Yes, I too would like to know the answer to this, because I am at 83% download of the deodexed version.

Thanks.

[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:
Geoffcorey, I installed JL4 via odin, using wifi, no reboot loops.
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
yes, the odin install doesn't do that. But if you do a system dump and then package it into a CWM flashable, it causes a reboot loop. This was found when doing CWM flashables for JK6. And there is a fix for it. I didn't even think to test if it was in JL4, so i uploaded without the fix.

I then was alerted about a problem (thanks to krylon360/TeamWhiskey), and pulled the links, and fixed the problem and reuploaded the files.
[Vibrant Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

I use root explorer to delete bloat but with this rom when I delete the app from /system/app , it is getting automatically installed again.

Hey, cwm is having problems downloading the update.zip I think.

here is the update.zip I uploaded for you.

Put it on your internal and reboot, reinstall packages(may have to do it twice), it will give you the clockwork recovery, then you can install JL4. If you use odin to install JL4, you will run into rooting problems with recovery 3e

Hi,

I just figured something out.

Root explorer does not seem to work for deleting /system/apps in this rom.

But I did uninstall them with titanium and it worked.

Rebooted and they are still gone.

I didn't try the freeze but so far they are staying uninstalled.

[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
I have installed many times tonight using the roms I posted (trying to apply ttabbal's dragon Rom base installer, jl4 doesn't like the kernel for some reason) so I'm not sure as to why people are getting issues while installing.

Make sure voodoo is disabled first. This thread doesn't include stock+voodoo, only stock. And what you posted is indicative of the kernel not being able to mount the filesystem to write too, so it errors out.

[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:

Geoffcorey thank for providing this CWM flashable stock ROM, with 3e root resolved for us. Also thanks for not changing anything! I was getting tired of rebooting my phone into stock Jk6 but having to see that sideways "android" logo that sombionix included.

Nice of you to provide this totally stock for us!
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesd86:
I never installed a OCLF on my phone? that is what voodoo is correct???

i'm trying it from CWM Recovery right now, I didn't click install rom from rom manager this time, see if it makes a difference

nope same error...i'm on my HTPC as the wife kicked me out of the bedroom(it is 0330 here....) so i'm trying to install the sdk onto this computer only its balking at not having jdk installed, but it is...gonna look up putting it in path..talk about rebuilding the wheel...bout to just head to bed...thankfully i got a good backup that's been flashed 3 or 4 times now no problems from phone.

i'm hesitant about odin without adb access...alot easier to adb reboot download than mess with buttons on phone.

going to sleep, f it, someone will have something different in the morning, thanks for trying to help!

This isn't a Voodoo/OCLF/1234 lagfix issue.

E:Failure at line 15:

Installation aborted.

Your ZIP is bad. Again.

if you used SuperOneClick, then did the sysdump, the updatescript you are using will not work.

The update-Script is trying to link the su file in xbin to /bin/ however, there isn't a su file in /xbin to link.
[Vibrant Android Development] INeFFeCTiVE:
Those are all codes for different build dates. I assure you that they aren't all the same.

This is exactly what was discussed in the townhall. You need to give credit for other peoples findings/fixes/work.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Thank you geoffcorey for premodding the 3e recovery, this rom is fastest stock rom i've used yet...
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
That might take a long thread in itself to explain properly. However, these builds have consisted of changes to kernel, modem, and underlying system level changes to improve stability, GPS functioning / accuracy, overall performance, etc at the very least. Even if the aesthetics have largely remained the same, it should not be assumed that they're the same. They all should be considered test builds and came with no change log.
[Vibrant Android Development] ahains:
Thanks for the explanation. I looked at system/xbin in the Vibrant_JL4_Stock_Deodex.zip I downloaded (from this thread), and I see an su file there. I'm guessing this means that the copy of I downloaded has been fixed.

Ok, i am running eugene's ginger clone.

Which version should i download, pardon my noobness but i need some assistance.
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
Not sure why the script isn't finding the su binary is /system/xbin. it's there.

When i was making the CWM file, i made the stock odex first. Then, copied the stock odex, and removed to .odex files. It's weird that the deodex wouldn't have su symlink issues while the odex one would, seeing as they both came from the same thing.

Sorry, i was tired when i was typing. It fixed it and will update the OP.

Hi,

After 9 hours with moderate use rom is working great.

Battery is at 65%.

There is a issue with the mms.apk having a server response error and or blurry image.

To fix this use su file manager to delete the mms.apk from /system/app

Then copy the mms.apk from this post.

Just tested this and it works and no more blurry image.
