Hi all, Just having a small problem here atm.
I have updated to CM 4.1.999 (Or whatever the latest version is) and I followed all the instructions to the point. Now, everything works fine except for the browser. For which I get a forceclose everytime I try to open it :/
Error - (Process com.android.browser)
Any ideas?
( I don't want to re-flash tbh )

You can reinstall the browser
pull it from the update.zip and use this command
Code:
adb push Browser.apk /system/app
if the browser.apk is in the same folder as adb.exe
if you give us the logcat data, we may be able to help you better

did you run fix_permissions?
if so, that may actually cause that problem. try running the latest fix_permissions in the dev section.
the only time ive personally seen this error was due to the fix_permissions script. however, the problem could be related to something completely different

I have uploaded attached it for you. However I've not tested it but I see no reason to why it shouldnt work.
Just so you know, this isn't a normal installation apk. In order to install it you're gonna have to move it to /data/app through a terminal with superuser permissions. i.e. through terminal emulator:
su
mv /sdcard/teeter.apk /data/app

I get the same thing. Cant move it over to /system/sd/app
EDIT: Had to do it via adb shell
Wow I had it install straight up as soon as xmoo released the /system folder of the magic. I didn't need to use adb & its on my sdcard

Has anyone been able to install this app via the terminal emulator if so will you post the commands? I have been searching around for quite a while and I still can't find it. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
hello i too am having problems installing apk. tried to install from adb but got same error and force close. can someone point me in the right direction? thanks
You need the HTC frameworks and a ramdisk that puts them into the BOOTCLASSPATH. My CM2-ADP build has this (and Teeter). I doubt you'll get it working on a US firmware, though, because you can't change the BOOTCLASSPATH without breaking the preinstalled apps.
ok got it. I did try your build yesterday but had too many problems with the camera and video force closing. didnt see any real proformance change from jf1.51 either maybe need to update spl.
thank for the answer.
I found the teeter that can be installed using a regular installer app like Lindas. Its off the sapphire build. It does work but it is rather buggy on the g1.

Every time I click on the HTC Keyboard to type it force closes immediately. Anyone know what that's attributed to?

i just uninstall it through AppManager ... theres an adb command that cyanogen posted a long time ago and i always forget it but ill look for it now .. its something like adb uninstall com.android.htc_ime
EDIT:
here it is:
Code:
adb uninstall com.htc.android.htcime
and then grab HTC_IME from CM Rom and do
Code:
adb install HTC_IME.apk

I may need to try this, since my AppManager seems to not be working properly. After I run the uninstall script, do I just put the extracted HTC_IME.apk in the root folder of my SD card to run the install script?
EDIT: Okay, figured this out! I just put the HTC_IME.apk from the CM-4.1.11.1 ROM zip in my C:\ folder, opened cmd, nav to C:\ and ran those commands. Now HTC_IME Touch Input works!
This was going to be a deal breaker, and I gave up and went back to 4.0.4 until I saw this thread. Thx for the help.
How the noob made it work
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DGFGMI3I
Link above contains Clicker.apk, HTC_IME.apk, and libt9.so from cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 ROM
Code:
Adb remount
adb push \wateverlocation\libt9.so /system/lib
Then copy the clicker to /system/app... then use a FileManager on your phone to install.. I use ASTRO, its FREE...
you could also adb that, but don't recommend it.
Code:
adb push \wateverlocation\Clicker.apk /system/app
adb push \wateverlocation\HTC_IME.apk /system/app
I have tried what you have written, i have pushed it, but when i find it with the Astro manager i only get the option to UNinstall or details.
And when i try adb install from whateverlocation on pc i get:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION]
I have Abyzou ROM.
Forget it, it is installed. But now it force closes before it even opens! What the?!
See post HERE for the properly working HTC_IME.
Also has the text to speech option.
Install as instructed and you should be golden
Nice, thanks! But you know what?? It is TOTALLY oversized! I have a tattoo!
Is this ever gonna end for me!

Script To Enable Voice Navigation in Google Maps for Cyanogen ROM's

Google Maps Voice Navigation was much simpler to set up on a Cyanogen ROM then reading the thread made it seem, so I made a script that follows the same process I did, and though it should work, I have not tested it, so please let me know if it needs any fixes. It will back-up any necessary files to the sdcard, so there are no real worries in giving it a try.
1. Download Google Voice from the market
2. Unzip the file, and make sure the two files, build.trout.prop, and mapsnav.sh are on the root of the sdcard.
3. Open the terminal and enter
Code:
su
sh sdcard/mapsnav.sh
This will do its work then reboot the phone. When it is back up, you should be set.
Doesn't seem to work for me. Upon running the script, I got a few errors ("Google not found," "Cannot locate dalvik-cache on sd," etc.; the phone rebooted before I could get a look at all of them). After the reboot, I still had the same old Maps. I tried installing the APK provided in the zip, which seemed to be a successful install, but still, no navigate feature.

Are you using a Cyanogen ROM, with apps2sd?

Yupp, 4.2.3.1, or whatever the second-latest one is.
The problem is that your dalvik-cache and maps folders seem to be somewhere other than on my phone. If you first clear your dalvik cache, find the maps folder in /data/data/, and erase it, then run the script, it should work. I will figure this out and post when I get off of work.
I got the "no google found" error.
Also on boot up im missing gmaps all together.
edit: i also forgot to mention while the script was running scoreboard and mixzing forceclosed.. and on boot up advanced launcher foreclosed about 5 times.

I am having the exact same problem. This has happened to me before, and this fixed it at the time. But the solution does not apply here... anyone else with Google Voice problems?
--- fixed! ---
ok in debug mode I see these:
11-13 23:35:17.845: ERROR/GoogleVoice(2939): Unable to prepare post-Donut Contact API
11-13 23:35:17.845: ERROR/GoogleVoice(2939): java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.provider.ContactsContract$Contacts
...

I tried messing around with swapping out the contacts but gave up for now. I've replaced my build.prop and build.trout.prop files with the backed up ones and GV is working again. I've read that some people have seen the navigation menu disappear when they do this - it doesn't sound likely, but I'll be watching out for that for the next few days I guess.
So - go back to your prop files and GV and GM will both work, at least for now.
fixed! (I think)
hmm how do I delete a dupe post?

2.2.1 Update error

hey boys
so I finally gave it and did the whole adb rooting thing... lots of command lines and so on but finally it works so I got rid of Universal Androot..
so now my problem is still there though...
I run the update.zip and I get this:
assert failed: apply_patch_check(“system/app/GenieWidget.apk”,”(insert tons of digits here″,”(insert tons of digits here)″)
“E: Error /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.”
Anybody got a solution?
My phone and its changes:
Stock Nexus One 2.2
Rooted word-per-word via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736271
Uninstalled Amazon MP3 and "News & Weather" (genie widget?)
I figure maybe reinstalling News & Weather would fix it ... but Titanium backup does not recover it even if I did back it up first... (useless??)
I downloaded the APK and instaled it, but still the same thing.
What else what else...
thanks
I'm only posting this here because I, too, have an error and am in no way trying to thread-jack. I got the 2.2.1 OTA the other day and went ahead to update. Unfortunately, I use AndRoot also and when I got halfway through the OTA, I got an error during installation. I pulled the battery, rebooted, and I was still 2.2 rooted. I unrooted with AndRoot and now seemingly have no way of acquiring the update OTA. Any advice, OP?
OTA seems absolutely random to me ... so I would download the update (found in this very forum) and rename it to update.zip and put it in the root of your sd card and run the update as prescribed on many sites...
as for my problem... damnit damnit damnit is all I can say. I know 2.2.1 is generally useless, but I want to be sure I can install Gingerbread when it comes out!!
damn so I tried 2 different versions of GenieWidget installations (it's news and weather)
seems I get the same error everytime.
I know the "simplest" thing is to run a full reinstall of my phone (recover console?) but I don't want to redo all my apps/settings... can't there be a way to recover 1 or 2 components only? in this case, amazon mp3 and geniewidget, just so that the 2.2.1 update works...?
I had the same issue with com.amazon.mp3.apk not being found (I remember deleting it as soon as I got root)... well I had to put it back under /system/app/ (meaning you can't do it via the market - only manually)
Note: the exact version that was shipped with froyo has to be installed. You can check that you have the right apk by computing its sha1 sum (that's the second "insert tons of digits here" MitchRapp refers to)
*UPDATE*
oh snap.
my friend has the same nexus one as me ... so I copied his GenieWidget.apk and .odex into my /system/app and so far so good... i got another error (com.amazon.mp3) so I'm going to copy that too
update to follow...
hey it worked!
after a (seemingly) endless "X" animation bootup... 2.2.1 is there.
now I lost the root access I just made with adb shell something something.... that's normal I guess, so I'll redo it
Uh oh, I removed amazon mp3 too...;(
toss the .apk back in /system/app and reboot and update... it worked!
now for re-rooting... that wont work damnit.
I'm doing the rageagainstthecage thing word-for-word and the thing is, when I try
./busybox cp busybox etc...
it says file already exists
and the chmod commands only give me a "read-only" error
cuz I already rooted earlier using the .freenexus style .......
what can I do for this?
Anyone happen to have the2.2 Amazon apk and willing to share?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I do, what's your email
anyone know how to re-root 2.2.1 using the rageagainstthecage without it telling me everytime that busybox file exists and is in read-only... i followed the steps to the letter...

I used superboot (1.1-FRF91-nexusone-superboot) - worked like a charm.
I had an issue with settings.apk , had used universal androot and metamorph to make changes to the battery meter.
After getting the ota , the installation was aborted due to changes in settings.apk . i downgraded to android 2.1 erd79 ( had the passimg.zip file from few months ago).
Once downgraded never got OTA for further updates ( eg ere27 , frf91 etc).
had to manually update to frg83.
Jony, Thank you.
OP, thank you anyway, I got it from Jony. Now to find the update.zip...
God bless it. Went to go install from SD, I don't have twitter. I hate twitter. Anyone have it...

The rageagainstthecage step-by-step is missing a couple steps that will cause it to give the errors you're seeing. I ran into this and posted the solution, with follow-up and confirmation by others, later in the thread. Check out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792016
In a nutshell, the /system partition needs to be mounted for both read and write in order to set permissions on the Superuser.apk and su files. Also, if you already were rooted and have Superuser.apk, su, and busybox installed, you don't have to copy them back to the phone--you can just set the permissions on the existing files.

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it.
I'm not really happy with the update. Lost root ( I knew I would ) but the most upsetting thing is that I removed my work email from my phone. I had to update security settings to authorize the remote administration of my device through my exchange server at our HQ which is not happening. I know it doesn't have to be done but I was getting increasingly angry just looking at it in the notification bar 24/7.

[Q] "Installation error - insufficient storage available" when installing skype

[Q] "Installation error - insufficient storage available" when installing skype
Hello Everybody,
this is my first post on this forum, i decided to start this thread cause i've been struggling with this problem for something like one month now, i really want to fix it, and this looks like the best place where to ask for help.
I'm having problems installing the Skype application on a Samsung Galaxy S, in Italy.
Initially i installed it from the market, the installation went fine, but i couldn't log in cause i was still running Android 2.1
After the upgrade to 2.2, Skype worked only the first time i tried to use it, then it started giving me a weird bug; basically each time i tried to make a call, it would say "already 2 ongoing calls".
I uninstalled it, and now each time i try to install it again i get the same error message "Installation error - insufficient storage available".
I have 5.22GB available on the internal SD card, and 573MB on the internal phone storage, and i have no external SD card.
I tried to contact the Skype support, sent them something like 10 different emails, but each time they came up with stupid answers and in the end they couldn't find a solution, so they said
"Please note that the message you are receiving is an operating system message and is not a Skype message.
We suggest that you contact Samsung to find out under which circumstances the operating system returns this message and what can be done to make an installation possible."
I tried to contact Samsung, but they didn't even reply.
I started a thread in the Android Market Help Forum and one guy suggested to use adb to delete the skype folder
So i rooted my device with z4root and also did the OneClickLagFix V2.2+
I managed to install the Android SDK and get the adb up and running, but when i try to delete the skype folder, this is what i get
# rm -R /data/com.skype.raider
rm -R /data/com.skype.raider
rm failed for /data/com.skype.raider, No such file or directory
#
basically there is no such folder..
at this point i really don't know what to do, and i hope that someone here is able and willing to help me.
I think i gave all the possibly needed information to help you fixing my problem, but if you need more please just ask.
Thanks a lot and by the way big up to this forum, so many useful informations in here!
Cheers
Pedro
update
i installed Titanium Backup
if i go to the Backup/Restore tab and scroll to the very botton, the last one is com.skype.raider, but it has a line on it and i'm not sure what that means (see attached image)
if i click it, all the options are grayed out, so i can't uninstall it..
if i click and hold, a different menu comes up, where most of the options are grayed out as well, i can only do Assign Labels, Explore and View in Market.
If i click Explore, it says:
com.skype.raider
files/
shared.lck 0B
defetto/
main.db-journal 8.0KB
any idea what's going on? thanks in advance
Never mind, i made it!
I bought an application from the market called Root Explorer, i couldnt find a free one doing the same, basically giving full access to my folder structure.
Anyway, i was able to find the com.skype.raider folder and delete it..
after that, next install went fine!
the correct path was /data/data/com.skype.raider
so if you have the same problem, you can use abd and delete the folder and you don't need to buy the above mentioned app..
p.s. how do i set this thread as answered?
Had a similar problem! I couldn't downlaod anything from the market. Unmounting the sdcard has fixed the issue. Thx http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
