Open Home and Apps on SD - G1 Apps and Games

It keeps force closing on me and I have Open Home 1.5.4. I cant even open it or run it arggg.

Bump? Can anyone please help?

Tried uninstall / reinstall?
If you can get to uninstall, do a safeboot (menu + power).

Thats the first thing I did, I uninstaled and reinstalled 5 times. Restarted the phone then tried installing again. and i did a safe boot too. Idk what else to do, it just wont work.

Have you tried emailing the developer?
I guess worse comes to worse, a wipe... but completely download a new open home, not a backup.

Is it maybe because im running aHome on my G1 already and they conflict with each other?

No, I have aHome on mine too.
If you have apps to SD, there could be something curropting it. If need be, format your ext2 partition and redo it.
Download Paragon Partition Manager Professional Trial.

All my other apps on my sd work fine and i can install new ones to my sd perfectly fine, its just Open Home thats causing the problem, its really strange

Would you happen to know what command i would have to run to delete the Openhome cache and data that has been left there since the last install? I had it once on my phone and it worked perfectly fine maybe taht data is curropt

Nah I don't know a command except maybe go to menu > applications > manage applications > Open Home

Damnnn I need to do it with the commands because i think that the folder it installs itself too still has files in it which are curropt

well the open home data is /data/data/com.betterandroid.openhome2
so rm -rf /data/data/com.betterandroid.openhome2 would get rid of this, you'd need to su first though

Thank youu

Wiping Question[look at post #12,19]

Hey all.
After installing CM-v4.0.2 and the Dark Dream Theme I was golden.
Then I wanted to try Jac xrom. So I ran recovery, wiped, and installed and loaded the rom.
Everything was ok. But I noticed my apps were still showing up even after wiping. I think this is because of the A2SD feature....some would FC but I just uninstalled those ones and reinstalled and they worked.
So I ran recovery, wiped, and then installed CM 4.0.4. My apps are still there.
So now you know my history, how can I "WIPE" my SD card from my phone, if that is even possible?
I know how with my partition manager, but that is such a hassle....
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cd /system/sd
rm -r *
try that
Is that from Virtual terminal, or from recovery terminal?
Since u have cyan's 1.4 recovery u can fix it without deleteing them and installing agian. Go into the recovery console and run fix_permissions reboot and you sould be good. Should look like this:
Fix_permissions (press enter)
Reboot(press enter)
After it reboots u shouldnt have anymore fc!

its better to do it in the recovery terminal, but you can do it in terminal but you will receive massive force closes till your wipe your phone and flash a new rom. but try to do what pistol4413 said first, if you want to keep you apps
So if I wanted to start from scratch(no apps on SD) I would:
-Run the code david1171 provided from terminal
-flash a fresh rom
-flash a fresh theme
and if I want to change roms after that I would:
-wipe
-flash new rom
-run fix_permissions
[EDIT]
Would it be smart to do a nandroid backup so if I dont like a rom I can just reflash the backup?

yep you got it or for changing roms you shouldn't have to wipe if going between cupcake builds but a wipe is needed if changing from a hero to cupcake or vice versa.
Wow you posted fast. Thanks. I couldnt even edit that fast.

yeah i nandroid before flashing any new rom that i think could mess up. and i just go between forums a lot. i have the dev, theme, and Q&A in my toolbar on firefox so i just click between them frequentlly lol
So that code you provided only deletes the contents of the partitions, and not the partitions themselves?
rakjer said:

that is correct. to delete the actual partition you would have to go into parted via the recovery console and type rm x(substitute with whichever partition needs to be removed)
Ok. So I formatted my SD. Re-flashed 4.0.4.(no theme this time)
Now all is ok EXCEPT, when I go to my downloads, everything I have purchased/downloaded says it is still installed ,and I try to uninstall and it gives an "uninstall unsucessful". After that it highlights the app and makes it "purchased" so I can DL it again.
I tried to run fix_permissions but this had no effect.
Anyway around this?
Has this already been addressed? If not should I post this in Cyanogens thread?
It is possible that it is your market database connected to your gmail account, I wouldn't worry about it if the programs are no longer there

that's correct don't worry about it. if they say free beside them that should mean that they are no longer on your phone but it is still linked to the market database
He is saying that he is trying to uninstall them though so it would have to be saying installed so it is sounding more like some type of remains possibley on there

now i am confused bc he says it says free... wouldn't it say installed if the phone still thought the app was installed
oh wait i went back and reread what he said a few times, and from what i understand it could be that the phone registers the apps being on it but when he tries to uninstall it the phone can't find the app, then it says uninstall unsuccessful and gives the option to reinstall it. maybe thats what it is
That is exactly what is going on, it's nothing to worry about though

at least now he has a reason behind it yay for logical deduction
That is what is happening guys. Thanks for the insight.
All my purchased apps say installed, even though they are not installed.
When I select one from the "my downloads" it gives the option to run or uninstall.
-If I choose run, it says app not found
-If I choose uninstall, it says uninstall unsuccessful.
After all that, the app goes back to "purchased" status do I can DL again.
Same goes for the free apps.
This is quite bothersome.
Now I am just in need of a fix
Does any one have a fix or any suggestions to fix?

power manager disappeared after upgrade to cyanogen 4.1.999

I use power manager full. On cyanogen 4.1.99 I had wiped my ext3 partition and started clean. I moved power manager to /system/app so it can change gps directly, everything worked fine. I just got around to flashing cyanogens latest on top of this and now power manager is gone.
The apk isn't in /system/app or /system/sd/app or app-private. It shows it is installed in the market but the option to open or uninstall are not selectable. I removed the reference to it in my dalvik cache, it did not not help.
How do I get it back?
Edit: searched through some nandroid/switchrom tars and found the apk, adb install got it working again. Ill just leave it in /system/sd/app, toggling gps isn't that important, can do it manually
just redownload it from the market and push it back to /system/app again...once you pay for an app in the market google keeps track of it and if you lose it you just go redownload the app for free (cuz you already paid for it) and you're good to go...

Two Apps Stuck, Can't Open, Can't Uninstall

So after getting back up and running thanks to numerous members of this forum, I re-downloaded all my apps, and everythings good except for two of my most-used apps: Facebook and Pandora. My phone is telling me that both are installed, but they're nowhere to be found. The Market app has "OPEN" and "UNINSTALL" on the bottom of the page, but both are greyed out and I cannot select either choice. There are no folders on my SDCard for either app, and I can't uninstall them as they don't appear anywhere on my phone. Also, I can't install them because the market app is reading them on my phone. I'm in a bit of a pickle, as these are are both important apps to me. Anyone who could help would, as always, be owed a beer if they find themselves in NYC.
your gonna have to uninstall them using atrackdog or some app that uninstalls other applications. if that doesnt work, wipe your ext partition, and re download everything.
ALL my apps are stuck now...
Okay, I did what was suggested and wiped my partition, and now I have none of the apps installed on my phone, but when I go to the Market to re-download EVERYTHING, the Market app says everything is installed, and again, the buttons on the bottom to either OPEN or UNINSTALL are greyed out and i can't click either. So now, instead of only having two apps like this, ALL MY APPS are not on my phone, I can't download them, and can't uninstall them.
Any ideas?
Wipe from recovery. You didn't need to clear your partition, just remove the apk's for those two apps.

Clear your market cache to start, I think that will do the trick. If that doesn't help - wipe your phone and repartition sd again.
Good luck
I have the same issue for two of my paid apps...this was after i flashed a hero rom and went back to cyanogenmod.Im stuck I tried wiping data through recovery.? help pls

Clear market cache, then fix permissions...Wipe then reflash if that doesn't fix it. Apps in /app-private also get screwed up when switching ROMs, that's why I pull them to /sdcard then reinstall them so they reside in /app.

Apps won't install anymore - Froyo

Just recently I can no longer install apps. From the market or anywhere else, I always get "INSTALLATION unsuccessful". My phone storage has 50mb and plenty of space on my sd card. Also I set the install location to where it installs to sd automatically. What's the deal?
Anyone have this problem?
im also wondering this. often i get this. the app wont install at all or i have to wait a while to try and install it again n it works. wonder whats causing this
x3
I've been having this issue too, and not only in Froyo.
U moved the dalvik cache to cache partition and cache partition is now full
I find a solution! If you were having problems similar to me, this should work. Anyways, goto terminal, su and type:
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec

I rebooted and everything is back to normal and I can install apps again.
Thanks to this thread http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...all-around-failures/page__p__24608#entry24608
I was going to say do a logcat when trying to install the app to see what its moaning about!

I'm having this same issue. I formatted my system, data, and cache. Now nothing will install. The suggestions above haven't worked yet.
Has someone found a solution yet?
This is happening for me too...my market/play store keeps force closing and I can't install 90% of the things I try to install (even things that have been on my phone in the past). I feel like chucking my phone out the window I'm getting so frustrated.

HELP! Launcher Pro Error Rendered my phone USELESS

I've got launcher pro installed and all I did was select a setting under preferences from the home screen in the Launcherpro settings to restore back to its defaults. As soon as I did it asked me to restart. I selected to restart later and then it just started giving me this error:
The application Launcher Pro (process.android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Dumpstate_app_201007291243_android_process_acore. Log has been saved. Use *900# to copy out log.
This error keeps coming one after the next. I can't do anything on my phone.
I searched everywhere online and the solution is "HARD RESET YOUR PHONE".
I called ATT cust support and they DON"T KNOW how to do it w/out going through the UI.
Everywhere online says hold the down button and power on while holding down. I tried that and it does NOTHING.
Somebody please help?
I don't understand why I can't even get to the factory reset menu at least?
I get all my notifications and everything. I can access anything that pops into my notification tray. It get's interuppted by the launcherpro error message but I can kind of plow through it but I can get to the messages application if there's a message in my notification tray or an email. Can I somehow get to the reset menu from that tray?
I can't access any settings normally because settings run off the home screen and my home screen is unavailable due to the launcher pro widget. I just got this phone...this SUCKS.
I can also access the phone through mass storage. I new to droid so I can't brainstorm any ideas.
Try this.
1. remove your battery wait a few seconds and replace it
2. hold down the up and down volume buttons and the power button until the att screen loads on the screen
3. make sure that reboot system now is highlighted (use the power buttons to move) and press the power button
That should reboot your system. If that doesn't work try repeating step 3 but select delete all user data instead.
If launcherpro is crashing, why not go to appbrain on a computer and give the command uninstall it there. In between the crashes, I am sure the phone will get the command and do the deed. Once done, reboot the phone and either TouchWiz should launch, or the screen that tellls you to select default launcher will come up, and allow you to select TouchWiz. Worth a shot I think.
So hold down and up simultaneously? along with the power button?
Do I hold these down until the reboot menu appears? or do I have to hold all three until a specific point during the phone boot then let go?
I've never heard of appbrain but I will check it out and try it if the reset doesn't work still. Thank You!
I tried holding up and down and power and it sent me to the menu Thank You!
the options are
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cach data
is this the stock menu? I was wondering if reinstall packages would correct the issue without erasing my data?

I guess it wouldn't hurt anything to try. I would still try reboot system now first. If that doesn't work you may want to look into the appbrain solution posted above.

Hey thanks for all you guys help so far. I have a few pictures and videos I'm trying to pull off before I try the complete wipe. I'm going to look into the appbrain software. Will update.

I think you may also need to add fast web installer to the toolchain. Get that on the phone first somehow if you need to (ADB install?).

Have you tried the reboot system choice yet? That will not delete any of your data, but it may restart Launcher Pro so that it actually works.
Yes it didn't work. I tried to reinstall all packages but it's looking for some type of ".zip" file at the root directory.
I think it's because I rooted it to sideload, and so this is not the stock reboot menu.
I'm going to have to research to find out what I need to do from here. I'm a brand noob but I think I'm on the right path.

No, that is the correct reboot menu. The reinstall packages searches for update.zip in the root of the sd card, that is how you rooted the device. At this point I would suggest trying the Appbrain method and seeing if you can get that to work. I have never used it so I won't be much help there. If you can't figure that out deleting user data should fix your phone, but you will lose your data.
When you do get everything working I suggest you download rom manager from the market and making a backup of your ROM once you get everything working properly. That will enable you to use the reinstall packages choice to basically go back to a previous working version of your ROM.
Maybe adb (in Android SDK) can be used to remove Launcher Pro?
adb uninstall com.fede.launcher
The only problem is, I think USB debugging mode must be on for this to work...

If it's just pictures you are trying get, then go into mass storage mode, that you indicated you can do. Then take whatever you need off the phone and copy it to your computer. After that put the update.zip file found here onto the root of the internal sdcard. Disconnect the phone and reboot into recovery and apply the update.zip by reinstall packages. Once you get back up, do a factory reset and you will be back to a stock phone with root enabled. Either this, or get your pictures off the phone and then reflash with Odin3 One Click Downloader.
This is what happened. I guess pics/videos are saved to the SD card by default. I found them all there.
So I installed the update.zip file on my device.
I reinstalled packages. Everything went back to normal. A lot of my data was saved too!
I went to the market to download the Rom Manager and had issues. No matter how many apps I tried to download from the Market it stalled at "Starting Download". The ones I paid for said "installed" still.
I did a factory reset through the GUI. It worked. I can download now.
I entered the market with my known google username/password. I tried to reinstall ALL my paid apps. They no longer are marked "installed" but appear as if I did not pay.
Now I'm STUCK on how to get my paid apps back! Namely Rom manager PREMIUM for starters. There's no code or serial to enter. Is there a way to get this back w/out paying for it again?

It appears that you are following the steps. Is it possible you forgot your gmail sign in information and created a new account. A second factory reset may be needed.
This is the same thing that happened to me. Hard reset fixed it.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S
I'm all set, I used the WRONG account.
For future reference, you could have just removed launcherpro from adb.
