how the hell do i change the new market on my theme... it keeps refreshing the stupid new one OTA. I pulled all the system apps with adb to see if it over wrote anything, but to no avail... my original vending is still intact... where is this file so I can have the update automatically included in the build with MY files?????? Please help themers, im still new with this
update:
Ok, so most of you themers probably figured out how to overwrite the market file when its in the data/app/ but after troubleshooting, i could not get it to write to the system/app side... so for now, a temporary solve is to deleter picotts.apk and marketupdater.apk from the /system/app folder... market works still and installs still, just wont be 1.66, which for me doesnt really have any advantages other than the bill to account option... hope this helps some of you

it's not you. it has something to do with cyan's latest roms. vending icon goes to stock so i believe it's allowing the htc 1.6 to overwrite it. i believe the only way perhaps to change it is to take vending from the htc image 1.6 itself and theme that. not 100% sure, but that's your best bet . hope it works.
Check my theme thread for more details, but it has to do with a tmo update placing a package com.android.vending.apk in /data/app/ thermr it, sign it in a .zip with the test keys, and pull the .apk from the .zip and push it back to /data/app/

It's not Cy's ROM. It's like david said, the TMO update goes into /data/app instead of /system/app. Once everyone has the update, we can just start putting the themed vending in a data/app folder in our update.zips

yeah my bad for the incorrect info. i just noticed that issue when i was on cyan's latest roms 4.2.7+. dwang's did not have this issue (except for 1.15). thanks for the correct info though .
I don't have the update because I wiped after it rolled out, but my GF's phone has the option to uninstall the update when you click on the Market inside the settings. Has anyone tried this yet? Just curious

I have been using this as a solution since the first day the issue arrived. What this does is remove com.vending.apk from /data/app (the tmo update is installed in data instead of system) with a manual delete. I have also tried pushing it back to data/app and the update works after that.
Here is what I have figured out: Do you remember the days of android when when it was first figured out how to manually set up apps2sd? There were many market issues in those days which often resulted from people setting up apps2sd before opening the market and signing the TOS. This same thing is reappearing with metamorph applications, in that after metamorph plays with the framework, the android market (online check server) no longer sees you as having signed the TOS, which normally happens upon the markets first launch. The market app itself has info in the cache that you have signed the TOS, and thus it will launch, but will the online check that occurs will not allow the install. When you downgrade it forces a resign of the TOS, and thus unless metamorph is used again, an upgrade is fine at this point.

since its a tmo update, would it mess up anyones market that doesn't have tmo? or make separate version for people that have or don't have tmo?
yea, i found it last night after posting in the /data/app when i was extracting updated apks doing a backup (with backup for root)
wasnt the place i wouldve expected to find it. i tried renaming it to vending, themeing it, and then putting it back into system apps, but to no avail... so i added a /data/app and am going to have it auto install. hopefully the OTA wont still force it to overwrite my themed files... but thanks for the help guys, i hope this works
yeah im not on TMO im on rogers. i never even got a notice of any kind of update.
bump... check first post
i can't seem to figure out why i can't apply nextheme.
i'm on enom's latest ROM, and got the appropriate (well, mostly, only difference i believe between 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 is the camera app, i think).
i unzipped the nextheme folder, brought over only the folder containing the modifications and xml file, and put them into a folder on sd card. using metamorph i navigated to the correct folder, selected the xml file, and then hit 'apply all'.
it says it starts with the first file (browser.apk), then just sits there with the little 'busy' indicator spinning around. i let it go for like 10 minutes, and nothing happened, it just sat there and spun. so, i killed it.
second time i just selected one apk to adjust (calendar.apk) rather than the whole lot. same thing. sit there and look busy, but do nothing. forever.
so i killed it.
any suggestions?
Which version of MetaMorph are you using?

the newest one. i picked up the morph in the themes thread. somebody said that they packaged up the theme into a morph. i tried to get it to fire up, and it just locked. if i tried to update all, it would lock on the first one. if i would pick any single one, it would lock on that.
i'm not going to hold my breath. i'll just wait for froyo, i guess. or, at least news about froyo.
Sorry for hijacking your thread but since you're talking about metamorph here i might as well ask instead of creating a new thread.
So i have the most recent version of metamorph and when i try to apply themes it says it had successfully patched things but nothing changes. Anyone know why or how to fix this?
I'm using HelixLauncher2 so that could be why but it used to work before the update so i dont know
I have searched a lot, spent time trying to figure everything out.
I have Hero that I am trying to make BA for my little bro. I have the evo now. Rooted and tethering. Not much else I need to mess with on it. Fast enough for me. But my old hero is now rooted and has the app to tether. I can't figure out how the heck to over clock it. It is slow and I want to kick it up a couple notches for him.
I have searched and all the codes that you guys use at the top throw the searches off, or maybe I am searching for the wrong thing.
Any links to other threads would be great. That way when someone else searches just over clocking like I did it will come to this thread and then link to the useful threads.
Thanks in advanced.
I see you are rooted already, is the phone running a stock rom? If so think about installing [ROM] cyanogenMod 6.1 stable (<<<<search). Then you flash a [Kernel] [GPL] DecaFuct [2.6.29.6] (<<<<search) and install a app called OverClock Widget, it is easier to use than the other one you can use called SetCPU. Thats pretty much it, somebody may chime in that can put a few links up but I am on my phone right now so I cant.
DecaFuct Max 768Mhz Kernel
DecaFyct Max 698Mhz Kernel
Decad3nce's Kernel OP Thread
These are JayBob's CM6.2 ROM Downloads.
Okay, so I need to back up my phone? Can I use the app on the android market MyBackup by Rerwarre, LLC? Then I need to download the files you linked me to in this thread? And then what?
Okay. I am sure you are all tired of hearing from me. But I am going to flash a ROM that has a over clock on it. I have a question tho. When I download the files. It unzips them. By that I mean I can open the folder and explore all of the files. Does this make it impossible to load that ROM? Thanks for your quick responses in advanced.
You dont want the file unzipped. Leave it zipped and put it on the root of SD card, that means just on the SD card, not in another file. Then reboot into recovery by powering phone off, then hold down the power button and the home button at the same time, keep them down until recovery comes on. If a white page comes up instead of recovery that says clear storage, pull battery and try again. Once in recovery you should see a few options. Nandroid, select this by clicking track ball while highlighted, this will back up your current system. After that choose install zip from SD card, then select the rom you loaded on SD card. After is says done, choose reboot system now. Then find Gapps 12-18-2010, I think those are the latest ones. Put them on root of SD like you did the rom and reboot into recovery the same way, choose the install zip from SD and select the Gapp file. Then reboot system amd you will set phone up with google like you did when it was new. You can then install one of the kernels linked for you, I recommend the 768 one, download OverClock Widget from the market and set it to 748, if your phone reboots for no reason lower that to 729, 710, wherever it becomes stable for you.
Okay, I did nandroid, I cleared everything, and I loaded the zip'd file ( I was trying to say earlier it is my mac's default action to un zip the file when it downloads. So I re compressed it. This might be attributing to my later problems) ANd then I rebooted. And it looks and behaves exactly the same as before.
Any pointers or ideas why it did this?

Since you re compressed it, it may need to be resigned before flashing. I could be wrong though
What does resigned mean?
ANybody have any idea why my ROMS arent loading at all?
Not quite sure if this will work on mac, you may need to find a XP pc to do this from. Here is a link to a zip signer though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805766&highlight=zip+signer
Another thought...
Can you download the rom using the phone, then move file from download folder to root of SD card, using a file manager such as Astro or even better E Strongs File Explorer? I have read where some members have rooted, installed roms, kernels, theme, with no PC at all.
awesome idea on doing it from my phone. I didn't know it was a Mac problem. I can just run boot camp and boot up my mac with windows OS and try it on that. Thanks again.
Okay, i am trying to do it all from the phone. But the file is too large for the phones memory. And I can't figure out how to download righto the SD card. Any pointers here?

That's weird it should. I have my applications checked to be installed to external memory but I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Mine go to sd

Ok what rom are you running again?
I just go to settings then cyanogenmod settings then application settings & it will let you choose
The factory ROM trying to get the first custom one loaded.
use the xda app and navigate to the thread that has the rom you want to install. from there click the link of the rom and it will go to SD card in a file called downloads. after completed plug phone into PC/mac and move that file/rom to root of SD card. Then reboot recovery and flash, done. There are literally 100+ threads on installing a rom, search, read, learn. What recovery do you have installed?
Okay downloading it to my Windows 7 bootcamp worked like a charm. I did the red dawn ROM. Isn't that one already over clocked?

I believe it is, 710 maybe not to sure I have never ran it. There are faster smoother roms to run, why that one when we have Froyo for the Hero
as a new Android user (the Nc is my first android device), im still a bit of a no0b. I just recently rooted using auto-nooter 1.0.1
a few questions, i have though.
before i rooted, my Nc updated itself to 1.1 , i then had to downgrade using stuff i found here. is there anyway i can keep it from updating itself other than turning wifi on/off?
and now that im rooted, this is the one thing that bothered me on stock. but, is there a way i can put other stuff other than B&N stuff on my homescreen? such as books i loaded myself and/or apps i downloaded from the market?
thanks for any help.
also, i use to add books via calibre, now when i add books it sends them to "my files" rather than adds them to the books list, and they dont end up showing on the "keep reading" button.
any ideas?
Congratz! Hope you like your rooted NC.
The first thing you can do is get a replacement laucher. that's the "interface" you interact with.. I recommend you try Zeam. It works very well and it's free. But you could try others such as LauncherPro, GoLauncer, etc.. Be sure to get Home Switcher first. You should be able to get all those from Market. Zeam will allow you to put shortcuts, widgets, and other stuff except folders.. You can also get a clock & weather widget such as Beatiful Widgets to make your homescreen nice and pretty. I also like to remap the Vol keys to back and menu, instead of using Softkeys, but that's up to you..
To prevent your NC from receiving OTA updates, you can look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932506
But I recommend you get Rom Manager then install Clockwork Mod and then update to 1.1 via this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145
Be sure to understand everything you are going to do first, but also rest easy in knowing that it's almost impossible to brick your NC, so worst outcome is that you might lose everything and have to start all over. Once you get Clockwork Mod installed, you can make a "nandroid" backup. It's highly recommended you do that before anything else..
As for the books.. sorry.. I don't use my nook to read books so I'm not familiar with calibre...
Well, enjoy!

cool thanks. i curently only have a small 2gb card. my Wintec 16Gb i bought is giving me problems and wont format. so i guess ill have to wait to do the rom thing.
2GB SD card is enough.. You only need 200MB free to store the NookColor_v1.1.0_r2.zip
Did you use your 16GB with the autonooter? You can regain full use by doing the following:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Format_and_partition_your_SD_card_back_to_a_usable_state
Or use a free partition manager such as EASUS, http://www.partition-tool.com/ to resize and reformat the partions..
oops, so i deleted my youtube app. anyway to get it back? like i said im an android no0b, and since it was crashing i figured i could just re-install it from the market. but i deleted it first.

This might be a stupid question but..
Can I download the ZiP of the file that is listed on your linked thread to an SD card from my computer, then install it somehow? I am in afghanistan right now, and I am having wifi issues...

Yes, that's probably the fastest way to do it. Just download the .zip file from a computer into your Nookcolor's micro SD card then boot into Clockwork Mod, either from ROM Manager or by pressing power + n, for 3 seconds after you see the boot up text..
The important thing here is to have ROM Manager and Clockwork mod installed 1st. Then make a backup then install.. select pick .zip from SD card, find the .zip file then flash..
Good luck!

I've rooted so much and learned so much in the past month that I'd like to take that extra step. Opinions?
I'd like to try Cyanogenmod, but I've been failing miserably trying to put it on my device.
I've tried flashing it through this way: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide but I couldn't get ClockworkMod to reboot. Once I did get it to reboot I had a hard time loading or flashing Cyanogenmod because it kept saying that it failed to load and installation was aborted. What am I doing wrong guys? I'm following those instructions in the link to a T. I put the gapps file and the update cm 7.0.1 in the folder called the external_sd even though I do not have an external SD card, but I was guessing that's where the root of the internal memory is. Am I missing something? Is it really this hard? And is Cyanogenmod really worth it?
put the update/zip file in internal SD,not inside any folder.remove external SD card.now try flashing.

Couple things. When I connect my phone to the computer there is no folder that says internal SD unless the stuff that shows up with all the folders is the internal SD. I do not have a removable SD card.
Do I have to flash or wipe anything before I put the update/zip file on my phone?
Ok, successfully did it! I installed the cyanogenmod so I'll take it for a spin. However, there is one thing that I can't figure out. I'm trying to download all the Google apps from the market, but anything that I try downloading from the market it just stays in the downloading progress bar and nothing happens.
I installed the separate apk file gapps-gb-20110828-signed the same way I installed Cyanogenmod, but nothing. Can anyone help please? Also, I used the Navigation app a lot, but I can't even seem to find that one on the market...
Now it's working. Ok. Few questions for you guys. Any way to turn off an "LED notification" whenever I get a text message the bottom soft keys light up and stay lit up until I check the message.
Still don't know how to get the turn by turn Navigation application.
EDIT: How do you get Swype as well on Cyanogenmod?
