Just upgraded. No dialer or contacts :S

so i just upgraded my g1 to this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537204
and its all great, Doesnt lag on bit!
however there is no contacts icon or dialer. I went to the app store and downloaded another contact manager however if force closes when i open it.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this, or a good rom to go back to?
also, i upgraded the radio and spl to the newest before upgrading the rom.
thanks

Is the contact application and dialer application in the sliding application screen and your saying that the icons are just not appearing on your home screen or you mean they are just not there at all? If they are not there at all, you might want to try reflashing the rom. I just came from that build and didn't have a problem with either of those apps. Good luck

I agree, I just came from that ROM too and had no issues. I would try wiping first and then reflashing.

Yup. Sounds like it didn't flash correctly or didn't download correctly. Have you checked the md5sum? If its correct, I would wipe then reflash because I think every ROM comes with contacts/dialer.

you have to download a program to check the md5sum. Is this problem with every ROM or just this one?

Launcher.apk

Ok im not sure if this should be posted here or in themes but here is my problem
Will it seems like when ever i try to theme Launcher.apk it doesnt work.
I reboot the phone and then i just get the android loading screen, but i can still get calls and the phone works as normal just without a Launcher app.
So what i want to know is what could cause this?
i themed it before and made an update.zip theme and that works but now its not working even using MetaMorph does the same thing.
*more info*
Then I used openhome to get to subf and tried to install launcher and it gives me cannot be installed on this phone error.
Im runing a rooted 1.6 i believe it was basic off of cm41 i know its old.

did you follow the theming guide?

yea i themed 1.5jf and a few cm builds and never had this problem ,
even theme the build i am on now. But i am trying to change it and thats when i am getting this problem.
Its like when i change something on Launcher.apk it just seems like it doesnt install any more.
I've even themed the Launcher.apk reziped and adb pushed it and still same thing.
I got nandroid backups so its no problem just trying to find out why this is doing this so i can move on an get it to look the way i want.
fiy im only changing app drawer background and the tabs.

So you resigned and everything?
Oh but what rom are you using?

You can't just re-sign one app and push it.. all the apps (except the google ones, which can't be touched) need to have matching keys. The theme guide should tell you which apps need to be signed together.

When i made a couple of themes i used 7zip to open and photoshop to modify certain apps and the framwork.Then when finished rezipped folders then signed.

I downloaded it long ago dont remeber who made its say
kernel version 2.6.29.6-cm41 dan2Sunnyvale )
build number DRC83
Its a ADP 1.6 that was made when 1.6 launched im thinking of switch to another build but had this problem when i did that before.
And yes apk has been resigned the same way i made my theme update.zip
I used the same temple just changed like 2 .png in launcher resigned everything
reboot phone flash. same problem
adb push. same problem
used MetaMorph droid app drawer. same problem
MetaMorph Stock-App-Drawer. same problem
So its not in the signing its something to do with changing the launcher.apk then it no longer wants to work.
hell i even deleted the <packages></packages> info for launcher rebooted and try again and still no luck.
Im going to switch enom build later on and see what happens but i had this problem before with launchers on other builds. Its like I can only theme it onces then it no longer works.
thanks to all that read this i know its long but i cant wrap my head around why all this is happening

Wow thats pretty ancient, it usually says dersert labs or cyanogen and maybe twisted?.

Yea I know its old I need 2 upgrade just haven't felt like redoing the phone, but on another note I tried the metamorph android2.0-stock and every single apk work but lanucher and I didn't try framework. But ill probaly update 2 morrow or 2 night and see if I still have this problem.

[RESOLVED-THANKS GREG!!]market issue-across the boards(please help?)

EDIT:
RESOLVED
THANKS GREG :-D
ok heres the scoop
i first starting noticed it today when just messing around trying diffferent apps (check out "spring ball" simple but fun!) the app downloaded, but upon completion, the market.vending force closed. i tried and retried and retried and no apps would install. thinking the issue was my rom, i did a fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
-regawmod
later in the day the issue started again. fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
-regawmod
again.
-regawmod
sick and tired of reflashing, i flashed fresh 2.0d in hopes to avoid the error. flash was sucessful, had fun themeing, market worked! once again, messing around with some new apps, the issue persisted. fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
again.
-fresh2.0d
again
-fresh2.0d
GOD DAMMIT. in hopes to correct whatever the issue was i flashed damages latest, thinking, hey, its the closest to stock thats available in regards to 2.1, shouldnt have any issues. issue STILL persists.
i posted the issue in flipz thread, with a confirmation of the same issue from another user, but no fix (mondays apparently arent dev days lol; FLIPZ WHERE ARE YOU?!)
information:
i have the latest prl and flipz pri. i have stock radio and latest recovery (green nexusbear :-D). the fact is, whatever rom i flash, in the BEGINNING i am able to download all my apps, but after about a half hour, everytime i download an app from the market, it finishes downloading, then the market force closes, and the app just sits there at "xxx sucessfully downloaded" no install at all. i can still install from my SD card. at the beginning of every flash, i admit i go on a huge deletion spree via root explorer, but i have done my research and know what is safe to remove, i dont think thats the issue; maaaybe it is?
normally i would post a logcat, but i cant download and install it to post it!
anymore confirmations of the same issue, any FIXES?
tia

i hate to bump, as much as you hate to see it, but i could really use some help on this one

This happened to me too several times. There's a very easy fix
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Market -> Uninstall Updates
Ta-da If you have an uninstaller app it's even easier!

For whatever reason, there is an update being installed to Vending.apk. It doesn't do anything except for break it. Market will still work (the way it's supposed to actually), you're not really uninstalling anything.
And yes, you did

hm. i do a few metamorphs upon initial flash of a rom (namely 3g icon over ev, and sometimes a lockscreen) could one of these be breaking them?
thank for the link. running damages latest, but dear GOD do i hate the stock rosie. espresso is my flavor
btw; your the one who got me completely addicted to metamorph: THANKS! i dont think many people see the benifits of it, and its too bad. it should DEFINATLY be our main scource for theming. really strips down the elements to personalize it to YOUR needs :-D i refuse to flash updates anymore for themes lol
okokok back on topic, im going to give it a test now and report back before the night is out.
thanks a ton greg!

No it couldn't. While the Rosie morphs DO edit com.htc.resources.apk (the same place where the 3g icon is) they don't touch the status bar icons, just the Rosie pngs in drawable-port-mdpi.
Glad I could be of help

rightright make sense, dumb question; the whole IDEA of metamorph is to only edit the specific files in the .thm right? der
thanks again, and like i said, ill report back later
off to customize
:-D

ok report
i wiped and reflashed damagecontrol
i let it sit for a few before installing anything
i installed a few apps, and it went great
BUT
as soon as i downloaded and installed metamorph and applied the 3g icon, the market force closed.
going in for your fix now, greg

greg buddy your fix worked like a charm :-D
i hope to see you over at the evo portal once its released
thanks!

DroidX Multi-touch keyboard Froyo

Hi;
You can find a working version of Droidx Multitouch keyboard for MT3G with Froyo at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021
And a flashable version at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7827701#post7827701

it works,thanks for the head's up

thanks, cant wait to try this out.

flashable installed correctly but kept getting an fc every time i tried to use the kb.
@pjdpinheiro, please list your steps
thanks
nm, I got it to work. i ssh'ed the files over to the device but permissions weren't set correcty on the 2 files which fc every time i tried to type. then tried to installed with flashable but it kept the same perms. corrected perms on the files and reboot, went to keyboard setting and adjusted lang and chose multi touch. all works well.

Installation instruction
Please tell me how to install this key board. I have tried flash and ASTRO. Both didn't working

use adb.. the link has instructions on what to do

curious
This is my new favorite keyboard, but I wonder: is there a way to better calibrate it? something like the clicker apk for htc soft kb perhaps?

great stuff. works as expected thanks. I flashed with AmonRa's 1.7 recovery, not a single FC so far. shift+letter works so multitouch is on (right?)

To apply the Flashed version, do i have to be rooted? I keep trying to root this thing but im not having any luck. I have the OTA 2.2 update running old Mytouch 3g.

nice keyboard and everything, but i cannot switch to default or any other keyboard for that matter. Constantly FCing. Any ideas on how to uninstall?

Angry Birds Lite Beta

They released it in the market but I can't find it. Has anyone had success in it showing up for them? Maybe our device isn't supported? I hope that's not the case cause I would be so bummed.

I tried the market through phone, scanning the barcode on Droid-life and tried the download link and it won't show. when I clicked the "Feedback" link in the e-mail they sent me letting me know it was out, under the device section our phone isn't listed so I think we are being left out in the cold.
edit: they have the download link on the homepage of Android Spin (where I got my copy, it's the same as posted in Post#4 here) and it running great with my setup
edit 2: on Rovio's site for the Android version it says "1.6 or above" but Android Spin pointed out it is only showing up in the market for devices that are officially running 2.2, I guess that's why we don't see it in our market even for those of us running FroYo.

Didn't see it on my market either I'm waiting also!!!

I read froyo only. I'm on 2.1 atm so I will test that but if someones on a froyo build heres the APK
http://www.mediafire.com/?j797r19xtm78g1z
That was listed under a Vibrant thread so I don't know how well it will work. Since theres no official 2.2 for mytouch slide i would think that would be why the problem of not finding it in the market?
I'm not entirely sure where the APK came from or what device it's intended for but i'll post again after testing on 2.1

Works on cm6. Thanks!
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Does work on 2.1 app says needs to have 1.6 or higher to work... (Motoblur love haha)
I will say we should keep an eye out for one that works better on lower resolution devices though...

damn this game is a blast!!! just had to push out to the A2SD on the Behold 2 I loaded up with games for my lil girl (7yr old, she calls it her Android Touch) so I could get my Slide back

Works fine on my stock Slide.
I was checking for a while and didn't see it in the market, but eventually it showed up. I just searched "Rovio".
The resolution is slightly off, but it's working well enough. I seem to freeze on some parts however.

Angry Birds Lite is what I searched and I found it no problem. Only complaint with the game so far is that it doesn't have the resolution for our screens.

No such luck, nothing in market and the apk from mediafire wont install. Attempts to install in fails. Sigh i was really hopeing to try this out. Running latest CM6 btw

Ok, might sound 'tarded but...how? Don't you kinda need the SD card location available to download the apk file?
Still can't find it on the market either (for Eugene's CM6 ROM, btw). I've already downloaded it 3 times from mediashare just to see if it was a download error but still won't install correctly.
