I think that it was just a coincidence that the nightlies showed back up when you flashed CWM; I've been using 4ext for a bit now with RM always seeing the nightlies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sisterchick:
ROM Manager is basically the user interface for Clockwork Mod Recovery. They are both by the same developer, Koushik Dutta. I've never had great luck flashing from within ROM Manager on either my G1 or Nook Color, especially if I was using a different recovery. I've always used ROM Manager to download, rebooted to recovery and flashed from recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
i am running 4EXT Recovery and am also unable to load the list of ROMs in Rom Manager... it is saying i need to have ClockworkMod installed. i thought maybe this was a change in 'policy' or whatever, trying to get us to stick with Clockwork if we still wanna use RM... but who knows :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Not sure what's up; I'm seeing them fine now, thought the latest two nightlies showed up late.

As for it saying you need CWM, are you sure it's just not the usual alert saying that there's a CWM update? To get rid of that, you need to flash the latest CWM and then reflash 4ext; RM logs your most recent CWM version so it won't nag you again until there is another CWM update
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
the actual message is "You must have ClockworkMod installed before continuing!Install the recovery through Rom Manager first". but yeah, the last version of CWM that i had was not the very latest one, so if i were really curious i could flash the very latest one, then reflash 4EXT and then see if it lets me view the ROMs then, hehe.

TB Force Closing After #220?

Hey guys,

So I flashed #220 last night after a full wipe (coming from #213). Everything was going smoothly until I tried restoring my apps with TB.

I've used TB a thousand times for this very purpose and it's never failed me once...but strangely enough, I tried to Batch Restore Missing Apps (as usual) and during the restoration of the first app TB just force closes.

Tried multiple times after fixing permissions and clearing all caches - in the end, I restored every single app manually one-by-one and it didn't FC. Anyone else having this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
so koush is playing that game now? trying to force users to use a less complete version of recovery so that they can download roms? wow.

Sent from my HTC Vision running ILWT CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kaijura:
Had no problems with wifi on 216, 219, and 220.

I always flash nightlies by downloading directly on desktop and transfer to the sdcard, so never encountered this problem.

I just looked in Rom Manager and #220 is up there? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
as OriginalGabriel suggested, i flashed the very latest CWM then reflashed 4EXT, and now i CAN view the list of ROMs(thanks Gabriel). but RM is showing that my current recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0, so it seems that as long as RM THINKS that you have the latest CWM installed, it will let you download ROMs. not exctly sure what's going on...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kaijura:
Judging by the pic, Koush must've updated the list with 219/220 at the same time. # of downloads reference

Edit: Just realized it's probably because I'm on CWM 5.0.2.0, must be the folks on 3.0.x.x that are not seeing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
From Twitter, 2hrs ago

@ChrisSoyarsFixed. RT I'm aware that the nightlies are missing from ROM Manager. Talking to @ChrisSoyars about it. He said the build bot is crapped out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kaijura:
You should restore your backup if you made one, just flash 220 and wipe dv/cache only, likely no need for a full wipe. Saves you the trouble of having to reinstall/restore everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HunnyBearLewis:
Anyone else experiencing "Google Talk authentication failed"?

I can't download anything from the Market and this notification pops up every 5-10 minutes.

EDIT: Not sure what fixed it but in this order: tried freezing Talk, uninstalled Talk, wiped cache, rebooted plenty of times, fixed permissions...after a couple more reboots it just started DL'ing everything normal again.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

Appreciate the response. It's funny, I almost always make a backup but not this time...and I don't wipe often from nightly to nightly but this time...lol, damn.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I'm posting this here since it is only happening on my DZ. My rom manager premium key from market is not detected at all. I checked logcat at the market license check seems to be timing out. This only happens on my phone and not on my Transformer.

Edit: It just worked for the first time in over a week. Disregard
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
This must already be resolved because I had no trouble downloading 220 from RM and I'm using 4EXT Recovery...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Way to jump to conclusions, there... you want your mat with that?? :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
You missed it the point, gravis. 4EXT recovery creator madmaxx had to rebuild part of his custom recovery because of some issues koush made a big deal about. Tsubus and many others have grown fond of 4EXT and are just being protective of it. None our concern really. Just trying to fill you in on what he meant, that's all...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
that was my point exactly :D

being that he already closed down something that was open source right after 4ext started getting popular, it wouldn't have been so unbelievable that he forced people to use cwm with rom manager. glad that i was wrong though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
True true, except for us who paid for the premium rom manager (I think everyone here on xda), it wouldn't be fair. Also, there is a selection on rom manager's first page "alternative recoveries" (grayed out). It shouldn't matter what recovery is used.

But, its terrific that's everythings working again. I just used rom manager to update to #221 using 4ext.

TOTALLY AWESOME!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I have an issue. The screen shot below shows I have an app that needs to be updated, THAT I NEVER DOWNLOADED. Its NOWHERE to be found on my phone via Android Settings>All Apps, TiBackup, AppBrain, etc. When I select the app in the Market, it says the app is unavailable.. When I try to update it (only by hitting the Update All button), it says Download declined.. check out the screenshots below.. How can I remove this from being shown in My Apps section of the Market? I already deleted the Market's data via Android Settings & TiBackup a few times, no luck.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Did you try clearing app data or cache for the market in TB? Or going into Launcher Pro settings and seeing if the theme is in there and deleting it??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Read the last sentence.. but yes, did both.. and its not even in LP Themes.. only the LP Honeybread theme that doesn't work I think.

also added two more screenshots.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kaijura:
are you signed in on different market account?

Check your market settings/accounts if so.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I have Android Market, and AppBrain.. I actually found out in AppBrain via Web (not the app) it shows its apart of my device.. but the AppBrain app doesn't show it.. On Appbrain (web) there's a button to unistall it via web/OTA, but so far nothing.

AppBrain (web): Yes

AppBrain (app): No

Android Market (web & app): No

TiBackup (app): No

Android All Apps (settings): No
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Use Root Explorer or similar to browse your memory for the .apk and see if it's there. I have a feeling it's there somewhere but for some reason not installed correctly or something. Either way something's glitchy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] choppa26:
Can anyone help me with this problem i updated to #221 and now everytime i click on my Market it force closes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Have you already tried wiping Market cache and data and fixing permissions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
That or double checking language settings. I don't know if that's still a bug or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Try reflashing gapps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] choppa26:
Adroid market how do u fix the permission.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
With the rest of the permissions. In recovery, go to Fix Permissions and let it do it's thing.

But that is totally unnecessary. Just go to you language selection in settings and select US English. It's a well known bug.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Not sure if this is just an issue I'm having or a known issue: basically I used to be able to listen to music through headphones and whenever I received a notification, I would hear both the music and the notification at the same time. Now everytime I get a notification the music stop (and if I'm not mistaking the sound is coming out of the phone, even though the option in CM settings is not checked). Everything works fine when headphones are not plugged in.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I used the search for "clouds" and came up with nothing.. so its no where in my phone.. but it shows up in the Android Market, and AppBrain (web).. tried many things to get rid of it, but with it unavailable, I can't install/uninstall it.. I emailed the developer of the app some hours ago, but no response yet.. any other ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
It may not have clouds in the name.

For example, the Market is called com.android.vending-2.apk, SetCPU is called com.android.mhuang.overclocking-1.apk

I would scroll through /data/app and /data/app-private and look for the icon or something recognizeable. Short of that, I have no idea. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I'll try again... Negative.. In neither folders.. I'm out of ideas.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Mine does that too... it seems to come out of both for me. On bluetooth and wired ones. I guess you could toggle the setting, reboot, and try again but I haven't thought too much about it. It seems to happen when streaming, music, or whatever so its not just one app that does it. Its a mystery ;)

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

J-Hop, that happened to me too with some old apps that aren't available anymore. I haven't been able to clear them off either. Mine isn't stuck under update, which is less worrysome. Have you cleared cache and tried an older version of market like 3.1.5? Also, you could check for the skeleton in data/data/app and remove that... I'd try reverting to an older market because it seems to be associated with your google account and not something left on the phone itself. Good luck!

Oh, also check the vendor name. Sometimes the apps are labeled like that after the com. part in the name of the apk file...

Anyone getting flash player 11 not compatible?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] damngood98:
alright well i may have spoken too soon the other day. for the record i've been keeping up with this thread pretty well for at least the last week or so. my wife has the g2, which i rooted.

my problem is dropped calls. my son has an unrooted g2 and this never happens to him so it's not the network. my thought was that it was just the radio i was using as it was suggested that it's kind of hit or miss and that you basically need to try them all out and see what works best for your location.

i know i started out with the .15 (pre ota tmobile) radio. this was the first time she ever started having problems. i'm not sure if i went to .26 (ota update tmobile) or .30 next (leak Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS) but neither of those made a difference. currently using .03 (Vision Gingerbread Sense 2.42.405.2-WWE) but after 3 days it's happening again.

this doesn't seem to be an issue for anyone else because i'm not seeing it mention at all. if it's not the radio, what else could it be? any & all help would be greatly appreciated :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Contact T-Mobile and ask. It could be a faulty phone or something wrong with the SIM. Just rooting your phone shouldn't cause dropped calls.

Oh, and when you call T-Mobile, don't tell them you're rooted. Even though it shouldn't make a difference, it does technically void your warranty.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
+1 Sounds like the phone itself. Guess he could always (unroot) it and then see what happens.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
I get dropped calls every now and then. It only occurs when a call wakes me up and I answer laying down with the charger plugged in so I'd chock it up more to my bedroom than anything else. In daily use I've never dropped a call. I switched radios from the latest one from Bell back to the T-Mo gingerbread leak and it helped a bit.

Disappointing news about the nexus event today. Judging from that leaked video the other day ICS is looking a lot better to me. Although my guess is they're doing it out of respect for Steve. Maybe his funeral is on the 11th or something along those lines. (Purely speculation on my part, though.) I don't have a problem with it being postponed at all if that is the case, though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] damngood98:
phone had only been rooted for maybe a week and half though. no problems prior to rooting it :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I fixed it! So I was thinking of doing this before u suggest it, but u pushed me more to do it.. So I rolled back to the old Market (2.x.x--uninstalled new Market update [3.1.5]) via All Apps in Settings.. The old Market shows both 'Update' and 'Uninstall' buttons, unlike the new Market which only has "app is unavailable" and no buttons.

Ok so when I uninstalled it, I noticed my Honeybread theme shut off and went back to the old theme.. It still shows in the Theme Chooser, but its not changing back to it.. So after a couple of reboots (that didn't help), I went into recovery to clear cache, dalvik, and battery stats (been having horrible battery life recently).. rebooted, still didn't work.. So I opened TiBackup, and noticed my Honeybread was uninstalled.. but the only thing I just uninstalled was that unavailable LP Cute Clouds theme.

So it occurred to me that Honeybread market link attached to that unavaible app somehow.. But I DO REMEMBER using Market Doctor via TiBackup.. So that MIGHT OF been the culprit, because it was never there until I started messing with the Market stuff in the TiBackup app.. So for w/e reason, TiBackup's Market Doctor attached Honeybread theme to LP Cute Clouds theme, which is very odd and strange to me (because why THAT app?).

So now I reinstalled Honeybread theme (not the backup in TiBackup), and it works fine, and LP Cute Clouds theme is not showing up in My Apps in the Market.

Thx for the Market rollback Sino, +1.. Market also auto-updated back to the current 3.1.5 after I was done uninstalling the LP Cute Clouds theme.

tl;dr? ;) Want me to summarize? :D lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I thought that was it... I had some compatibilty issues (false messages that say your device is not compatible) too with 3.1.6 plus the skeletons so its something weird with the newest version. Don't forget the thanks button;) have you read David's articles about Steve Jobs on tmonews? He is so torn about it lol! Don't get me wrong... Jobs was a great man and everything but old David is probably dropping off flowers at the nearest Apple store as we speak ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Oops, I had to do something after I finished writing & editing it, that I forgot to give u thx, lol.. And yea I seen, lol.. But yea, we all have to say thx for Steve Jobs being a visionary.. Because of him, we have these great smartphones right now.. remember the times before the iPhone? Yuk! Lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Anyone having battery drains, switch your theme.

I use minimal and it was killing my battery, switched to cyanbread. All good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
The only way that a theme can kill your battery is if it includes a live wallpaper; simply changing the icons, colors, etc. is going to make a negligible effect on battery life that most likely won't be able to be registered.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
I know, that is why I am posting it here. Because for whatever reason, glitch *blank* it made the differance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] choppa26:
Ok update on Market Force close problem. Well I forgot I was Surfin the new Bionic themes & Apps and I came across the Blue Transparnet Market which has to be flashed to install. So when I flashed my newest Nightly & Gapps I didn't flash the Bionic transparen Market. Sumhow there was sum conflict thereso just Reflashed the trans market again n ValAaa all good. I wanna thank everyone here who posted a commit & PM'ed to help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
i wanted to point out a bug in the CM builds ...

if your editing any document or long post in any app and if you press the back button to hide the keyboard for fullscreen view and you move to some other point on the screen and tap at somepoint to bring the cursor there the cursor goes back to where it was before back button was pressed and keyboard pops up again...

i have tried it with stock keyboard and 3rd party keyboards all have same issue.

now i know CM team say dont issue bug tracker on nightly .... but other users have told me they have seen this bug since 7.1 RC1 ..... so do they know about this issue ? if not whats the best way to tell them about it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
I would flash RC1 to confirm the issue, then go to the bug tracker and look to see if anyone posted it. If you find it, start it. If not, post the issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bboran:
i have installed the latest nightly. but in market lots of apps are missing and also for lots of apps it says " your device is not compatible this app". any solution for this issue? thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
I had nothing but problems with the last 4 nightlies, so, I did a factory reset and reflashed everything and reinstalled all apps. Experience now is what I've always hoped for, all features work and responsiveness at 1.2 ghz is uncanny!

Honestly I will not be touching the phone till ICS now, it's better than ever!

So, if you are not satisified with your experience, try what I do:

Full reflash, factory wipe first, after flash, wipe dalvik cache

Flash most recent gapps, wipe dalvik cache (ensure no residue)

Reboot phone

Once fully booted, download missing apps from Market

Reboot into recovery, go to Advanced and fix permissions

Reboot phone

Replace ADW with Go Launcher Ex

Use file browser to go into /system/apps and move all apps you don't use into a temp folder on your sdcard

Use eStrong task manager's startup manager to stop apps you don't often use from launching on phone startup

Go into Settings and CM Performance

Change CPU to 1.2ghz, change governor to Interactive

Change VM Heap to 48 MB

Enable 16 bit transparency performance and disable screen dithering

Enable wiping of bitmaps to free up extra RAM

Reboot phone

Enjoy!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Does anyone here have a solution on deleting unnecessary folders. Im not talking about on the sdcard, but on the main root partition (on phone)?

I was trying to do some spring cleaning and in 4EXT I formatted all partitions except for sdcard, then I used the SUPERWIPEG2+4ext through recovery. I then installed a new rom which also performed a wipe on install, but I still see old folders that I KNOW I dont have the apps that belong to them anymore (example: evernote etc.)

Anyway, I want to start off with the barebones of folders again, that only supports the android rom im running.

If I have to do this manually, what folds can I safely delete using Root Explorer before flashing a new rom without messing anything up?

Edit: after reading.. I may have should of started a new thread, so let me bring it then to CM7. Before flashing a new nightly, what folders can I delete to start anew?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I wouldn't recommend touching any folders that you are unsure of. I'd just use superwipev2 (the one that formats and leaves EXT4 partitions) and flash CM7. The only folders that I touch are in system and data because I know 90% of what stuff does. The others are cache and xbin, stuff that can be wiped via cache wipe, xbin is mostly root stuff and busybox crap. I wouldn't touch those. Just do superwipe2 and efs wipe and leave it at that...

I see... so you have some skeleton folders in data/data, huh? You can delete those if you are SURE the apps are gone but a wipe should have cleared those out. Strange...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
No not in the data directory but in the main one (see pic):

Like what is folder "d"?? Do I really need that folder? I guess I can delete everything except for system and data? Then re-flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SteveRiley:
Every object in Unix/Linux/Android can be referenced through the file system. /d is symlinked to /sys/kernel/debug which is mounted as debugfs. It's dynamically created when the OS boots and stored in RAM. /sys, /proc, and /dev are similarly ephemeral in nature; although not symlinked, each one serves a particular function: /sys is of type sysfs (devices and drivers), /proc is of type procfs (currently running processes), and /dev is of type devfs (device tree). Generally, objects that hang off / shouldn't be mucked with.

There are two subdirectories which recently I've decided I don't like, though: /data/system/dropbox and /data/system/usagestats. I'm not fond of software that phones home, so to stop the checkin service from reporting anything, I deleted their contents and changed the permissions on these two subdirectories to 000 (shows up in Root Explorer as ---------). They've been empty for a while now and nothing appears broken on my phone. I wrote about this a bit in the Android Software and Hacking General forum, too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Yeah, I'd leave those alone. Steve has the right idea and a good explaination. I thought you were refering to the data folders. The base folders should never be touched.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Thought id post some battery usage from the latest nightly. Awesome for today (light usage) battery at 80% :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
My bad! Wrong pics!

Here's the propers!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
You really didn't use your phone much! I'm kinda jealous as even if i don't use mine my battery slowly drains :-(

What's your CPU & performance settings out of curiosity?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Hey Ptesmoke & sino8r... if you don't mind me asking, how many nightly updates have you guys been able to flash with just a dalvik/cache wipe before things go sideways and you need to flash clean? I'm just curious what your experiences have been... or anyone else who would care to share...
