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!
Wondering how one might get VVM (Visual Voicemail from Sprint/SenseUI) working on one of these ROMs.
(Specifically Using DarchDroid 2.7)
Someone (Decad3nce?) offered to possibly help with this on page 3 of Darchs newest ROM thread I believe. They mentioned that we should grab Sprint_Core.apk from DC, and then I assume the VVM apk (if I can find it).
I would assume since (at lease the Sprint_Core) are sys apps, that they cannot be "installed" like an app apk. Could I get specific instructions on how to get these installed on Darchdroid? I would assume through adb? (Only used this a few times...)
Since I have a nice nandroid BU I like, and on a fresh flash of DD (KangSlayer!), willing to experiment a bit.
lol, coming from the same forum asking the same question. i actually got one to install but as far as it working im not sure. i tried sending myself a message and it never came through. the one i was able to install is an older version i believe but ill attach it.
I sent Decad3nce a PM, perhaps he will find time to help us VVM addicts
(seriously the ONLY Hero feature I "can't live without". LOL)
lol. its weird but since flashing an aosp rom, it seems as though i get voicemails more often. its really annoying having to use the regular voicemail thing which is why im requesting a fix for VVM.
Ok, sorry about that. I was at the hospital(my great aunt). But, I'm throwing together a flashable for you and for anyone else. Just working out a kink.
oh wow, sorry hear. hope shes ok. thanks in advance.

im confused...are you putting the zip up because your nice, or because it takes more than just the .apk to make it work? id understand either way
i believes its because it take more than an apk for it to work. ive already tried installing one, and while it did work i couldnt receive messages.
Here's the flashable with a few changes to the database, apns_conf.xml, and build.prop. (essentially the changes that were made in DarchLegend to get this working).
Make sure you have your entire ROM already set up before flashing this.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. FLASH THE ATTACHED ZIP, IT CONTAINS ALL THE FILES YOU'LL NEED
Code:
The files will be flashed, or moved to the right places
2. INSTALL SPRINT_CORE.APK (Which is VVM)
Before doing this, check if you can find "voicemail" in your app drawer. If you can, you don't have to install. Some people's Voicemail doesn't show up so it requires the install.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app/
install Sprint_Core.apk /system/app/SprintVVM.apk
exit
3.CHANGE YOUR VOICEMAIL SETTINGS IN SETTINGS>CALL SETTINGS>VOICEMAIL
Code:
Put your phone number under carrier settings
it's as easy as...
FLASH, THEN INSTALL, THEN CHANGE SETTINGS
NOTE If you flashed yesterdays version, it changed your mod version to 2.6.4. It's not a huge deal, but it might mess with DSUpdater. So just flash this to get the right version.
SORRY!
So, to clearify I have to change the settings for my voicemail, then flash this and then finally install vvm?

Worked for me as far as I can tell.
Only thing is, and I don't know if/how this is related, but I get a text from some weird number every time I get a call or voicemail now. I don't know if it's because of the ROM or this. It's really annoying and the text is mostly gibberish..

So Ermm... Anyone tried to install Galaxy Tab stuff into your phones?
I managed to install Touchwiz launcher from Tab into Firmware DXJP1 And we have landscape and port Rotation working... It Faster compared to standard Firmware.. And there does not seem to have Lag at the moment with 20 Installed apps..
How i did it?
I Flashed DXJP1(2.2) Which was a DE-Odex ROM by Default..
Look the TouchwizLauncher copy and replaced it in /system/app/
And Reboot...
Done.
ENSURE YOU BACKUP YOUR TOUCHWIZLAUNCHER BERFORE ATTEMPTING AND IT IS GOOD TO HAVE ANOTHER LAUNCHER INSTALLED AND HOME SET WITHOUT ANY DEFAULT SET JUST INCASE TOUCHWIZ FAILS
Not sure on Untouched ROMs with Odex files tho, The APK given to me was not with any Odex too... :S Uploaded it anyway
This is Development not Q&A... your gonna get flamed..

deathst, maybe you could post here a guide about how you managed to do that. Accordign to what it has been posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805149 it looks like 2.2 on Tab is much better than JPK.
Hope it will eb the same for the official froyo firmware of SGS...

That is good news. I hope Samsung replaces the FS to ext4 or something better than RFS and fixes the GPS issues some of us are having.
Posted a How i did it along with the APK if anyone wants it... I tried Afew more APK, Seems that we can import almost all the APK from Tab into Our galaxy, Wonder if it would be hard to import the whole rom
Besides Samsung Gave us the Sources of the Galaxy Tab not long ago @
http://opensource.samsung.com/
can anyone comfirm whether this is working on jpk?
I would like to know if it works on jpk thanks again
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It doesn`t work on JPK, deodexed.
Don't work on JPK too. Nice black screen
Luckily I had Launcher Pro Installed, it spared me from re-flasing.
thanks deathst.
I tried to replace that apk file with root explorer and the system got frozen while it was pastign the file to system/app. I switched off the device, then switched it on, unlocked the screen sliding my finger from side to side and I see that I dont have anything. I only see the battery and hour icons. The bar on top to activate/deactive wireless, bluetooth, gps and thats all.
cache wipe didn't solved it
How can I have my phone working again normally?
thanks

same here! how to solve it?? I replaced the file with root explorer and the phone got frozeen during the paste process, so I switched on/off the phone and now I only see the battery and signal icons and the rest is whole black screen
If the debug mode is on, you can replace your backup of the file :
adb shell
& su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
# rm /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
# cp /sdcard/YourBackupPlace/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
You mean usb debug mode right? I think it was disabled, at least I didn't touch anything about it...
I'm installing android sdk now to check if adb can work, but as I said I think debug mode was disabled...
Any other tip? Re-flashing the firmware wouldn't solve the issue? I would lost all my installed apps, but it's better than lost the phone...
PS: I have access to recovery and download modes.
reflashing would certainly solve it... and can really not understand how people just do stuff without making sure they have a way to reverse it... and then complain about data loss.. especially since this was not confirmed to work by anyone..
I agree with fAtaXe...
(You can trying to make an update.zip too :/ ...)
What about JIT files? can it be imported from the tab's firmware???
Thanks. I solved the problem re-flashing the firmware. Fortunately I had access to the task manager (pressing for few seconds the central button) so I could take note of the apps that were installed in the phone
I know it was my responsability and I didn't complain to deathst , samsung or anyone else because of that.
My phone is less than 2 weeks old so it seems obvious that maybe I didn't have enough experience to do that, but I read that the trick was working for deathst and I thought that Tab is using 2.2 so I imagined it also would work on my SGS with JPK.
I assumed the risk and tried it. Is that really a bad thing? I don't think so, specially because I didn't blame on anyone, I know it was my mistake. At least I learned that I should enable debug mode before doign that kind of operations, lol
Sad to Hear it does not work for JPK :S Strangly i have no idea why.. The Galaxy Tab Source i got are also Deodex and my DXJP1 is also Deoxed :S Weird indeed...
I'm sorry if i forced your phones to reflash... I did not expect it to fail on 2.2 ROM :S Truely i'm sorry about that...
Hello all,
After flashing CyanogenMod the other day, I decided I didn't like it too much. ( Mind you, I just use my phone for basic phone stuff, so please don't flame me for it. xD ) So I used a nandroid to go back to my original (rooted) stuff.
However, in doing this, it seems that it messed up my Market app somehow.
Whenever I try to search, open, or do anything involving the Market App, it'll say: Attention. A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen.
It's been like this for a while now. I can use internet, voice-to-text, and anything else that requires data ( not even WiFi works with Market ), but not Market.
What can I do to fix this?
Full wipe. Fresh install of rom+gapps.
Yea its Me Again With The
Modified Hero
@laie - he said he nanded back to rooted stock
@OP - try the nand restore again? Otherwise you could try adb shell fix_permissions?

It tells me that "fix_permissions: not found"
Edit: I've got it fixing now, will edit with update.
Edit(2): It didn't help, sadly.
I don't even remember, but does rooted stock 1.5 allow you to install non-market apps? If so, go find a market 2.3.6 apk on xda or google. Delete the one you have, boot into recovery wipe cache and then reboot, install the app - see if that'll work.
Nope, that didn't work sadly... Ironically, my Market worked perfectly without the updates installed. Is it possible just to block all updates for the Market apk?
this might work for you. a friend was having similar problem. this is what i did (note, i really really think that it was pure coincidence but...) go to SETTINGS -> APPLICATIONS -> MANAGE APPS. locate Market, if Force Stop is not greyed out. then click it, then click Clear Data.
like i said, his was having the same problem, i really think that it may have been a coincidence, but maybe not.

Yes, you need to delete the system app "marketupdater.apk". Also, if you go into settings/manage apps/all/market - can you click the button "uninstall updates"? If not, do you know what market version you had that worked? If so try to find and install that one using the same steps as I mentioned before. If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss.
Also what ngholson just posted is a good idea along with clear cache from the same menu.
I hope you get it figured out, good luck.

Boot up and then reboot back into recovery reflash gapps. Boot up. Load tb go into settings, manage apps locate market force stop and clear data. Open tb up locate market updater apk. Uninstall.

The problem version is 2002306, oddly enough, I've overheard some other people having problems with it as well at a place a friend works. Maybe it's a stock hero thing. I'll revert to an older version, maybe one day this will clear itself out.
Thank you everyone for participating in helping me. At least it was a good effort.

Laie I was just telling you, don't get all frisky. If you read the OP again, you'll see he WANTS to be on stock 1.5. I couldn't tell you why lol. Maybe you forgot (it's been forever) but stock and sense based ROMs already contain gapps. You only flash those on AOSP based ROMs, so he can't reflash gapps. If he wiped and then nand restored it would've restored /system which is where the market would live in a stock ROM. His issue was likely a market auto-update which did not agree with old ass donut stock. Who knows. I wasn't bashing you, and I'm not now, calm down. Hopefully this info helps you help someone later. Peace.
OP- I have ONE MORE idea. Go grab a themed market zip from xda member "pendo" - he has green, blue, and red. They should flash from recovery. Delete your current market app FIRST, and clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery, flash and reboot. Good luck.
EDIT: 2 ideas I guess, copy the nand backup to your computer, find the "marketupdater.apk" in /system/app and delete it out of the nand. Copy that new nand to the same place as the current one you have and try to wipe all then restore that newish one.... I actally have NO idea if you can alter a nand or the system.img it contains, but it may be worth a shot. You could also just give up, and get gingerbread, because it's AWESOME.

@OP - You could also try one of the *ahm* market replacements. like *ahm* applanet or something (not sure how 'legal' they are but...)
also, i know someone mentioned it before but did you ever get your permissions fixed? if not try that too, you can do it from ROM Manager.

Duce were in the op does he say he's looking to get back to 1.5??? Humm think you might be reading to much " lol " eyes playing tricks on you??? He said he restored his rooted stuff. Not restored 1.5. And nope I remember 1.5 and I'm aware of the gapps only flash with aosp. I posted my comment because he didn't say 1.5 so I took a guess as he was not on 1.5 because he didn't mention it. So mabey this will help you help someone in the future slow it down when ya read.

When I tried CyanogenMod 6 at the start of this thread, it had me flash 2.42.01.04.27. Could that be the problem?
And I'm terribly sorry for the delay in replying. Other issues are stealing my time.

That's about it. I think it's all worked flawlessly until the radio, but I'm not sure. If I'm missing any info, please let me know.
maybe consider starting completely over. download a new rom, i recommend aospcmod. download the latest version of gapps at the same time. if you don't already have it install ROMManager from errr. damnit your market doesn't work... hopefully you already have it. Open rom manager and install a custom recovery (i recommend clockworkmod) once that is done copy both the new rom and gapps zips to your sdcard, reboot to recovery (either manually or using rommanager) wipe everything. then select 'choose zip from sdcard' (or similar, can't remember exact verbiage) and install your ROM, then before you let it reboot, then use the same option and install gapps as well, then reboot. follow setup and it should work fine.
It's been quite a learning curve getting my Sprint CDMA Galaxy Tab and attempting to load every Miui, CM7/CM9 I could find on XDA and Rootzwiki. I never fully tested my tablet before beginning the delve into the flashing world so I don't know if this is an issue with the tablet itself or caused by my endless flashing trials.
I simply am unable to save any settings or data. Everytime I boot up, no matter which ROM (Miui CM7/9), it is always factory reset. This is quite frustrating.
I'm back on stock from odining Sprint EF17 GB w/ original PIT file and this is still happening. Does anyone have any idea if this was self-incurred or if there is a partitioning bug of some sort that I have missed.
Much Thanks in advance!
So every time you turn on your Tab it loads and then reboots in a continuous loop? Do you see the Android OS unlock screen or the load process does not gets so far? Because if it does not then in my opinion the boot loader is incorrect for some reason. That is my opinion.
What you can do if you suspect that the PIT is incorrect, you read your PIT and save via Heimdall and compare it with somebody else who has the same Tab as you have.

Negative. This is not a continuous loop bug. It is a "unable to personalize" bug. I can install market/apps/data/contacts etc etc, but every single time I boot up. it's a Fresh Copy with no personalized settings.
sounds like permission issue? Is there a fix permission in recovery?

Yes I booted into CWM,fixed permissions, rebooted, put 2-3 icons on desktop, rebooted.
Nothing, it was back to factory default settings.
A permissions issue does make sense, but it didn't work and this is just mind boggling to me.

I've got the exact same problem... after reading forums for 14hrs seems like a galaxy tab thing not common at all with no real answers
Sprint SPH-P100
I'm sorry you have the same problem.
However I'm glad to have someone to share it with. Misery loves company. I've scoured the web for 3 days and have nothing.
Please if anybody knows what's going on. From my non-developer logic I need to find a way to get the changes I make to my phone to write permanently (so to speak), everything I do is temporary until I reboot.
Hmmmm... I suppose you guy's already tried to wipe all caches and reflash the kernel (= not the ROM, just the kernel) ?
Where do I find the Kernal?
It's the zImage file right?
The ROM I'm on right now is JT's CM7 here:
I wanted to try just flashing the kernal but I am unable to locate the zImage file. What directory is it in?
Edit: I found the Kernal, it's actually in the CWM 5.0.2.7 package. I'm gonna try flashing the kernal over to see if it fixes the issue.
Edit2: No cigar, reflashing kernal does not fix this issue. On a side note, I tried to upgrade to CM9 and got "Encryption Unsuccessful". Not that I am knowledgable in this, but it seems the issue may share some commonality with that.

Hi,
Yah, zImage should be the kernel.
In this thread, I found something about the issue you have. It might have something to do with NoFrillsCPU... Hope this helps

Eh, I just went through all 37 pages of that thread. Couldn't find anything on NoFrillsCPU and didn't see any issues that resemble mine. Was that tthe right thread? I'll do a google for nofrillscpu and see if that brings up anything.

you read very fast then LOL
Anyway, my bad, it's not NoFrillsCPU but it's SetCPU ... It's in the OP : "Please DO NOT check the "Set on Boot" button in SetCPU untill you have tested it, or you may not be able to get control back without a reflash."
EDIT : Looks like there's a misunderstanding in me confused about the CDMA versions. Sounds like this thread has all the solutions you need. I may be wrong , of course...

I think you have my issue confused with another . My issue is that everytime I boot it's a clean boot with google account reset/desktop reset. I can't save any settings or download any apps without it getting wiped by a boot. I don't even think my ROM is currently overclocked but I'll look to see if indeed it's hiding in here somewhere.
Let me know if you see anything else that I can try :-(
Thanks though
Edit: Just checked, my system was not overcloccked and set on boot was not checked so this is definetely not the same issue.
