G1 camera app blacks out

When trying to launch EITHER camera app or camcorder app, screen goes black, and then says application has to force close.
Can still view photos in Gallery app and on camera app (I have since deleted them all from camera app, thinking I had used up its capacity).
Have tried soft reboot, hard reboot, pwer off + remove battery + recharge (which worked once, but the problem recurred). Nothing helps right now.
PLEASE HELP! G-1, carrier is T-Mobile.

I recently had something like this happen to me, it was a ROM issue. I reflashed a new ROM (CY-3.6.8.1) and it worked mint again. But I also see this is your first post, are you rooted?

What is "rooted?"

If you don't want to root, just reload the factory cupcake rom and see if that corrects it. Just like other poster said sounds like a rom issue.

from Terminal
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2, /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/Camera.apk

It's happened to me before

Apps missing and won't let me re-install

something weird happened on my phone when I installed the SuperD 1.9.3 rom. I've never had this problem before, so see if you can help me. I installed Chompsms and Acontacts amongst a variety of other apps. Well, I was texting earlier, when my phone froze. No biggy, I popped the battery out, placed it back in, and turned it on. Well I got the green boxes in place of the the logos for Chomp and Acontacts. I clicked on them and it said that the apps weren't installed? um, ok. I have aps2sd with ext3, so I figure something must have corrupted the file, no biggy, I'll just redownload it. So I go to the market, and it says the program is installed. I click on the program to try to reinstall, and the bottom where it says "open, uninstall" are greyed out. So the app isn't installed, but it is, so I can't uninstall and re-install. Anyone, help please? I really use these 2 apps!

Delete the apk's from /system/sd/

It also sounds like your marketdb file is still there too. I've had this problem with Backup for root users. It'll import the marketdb but sometimes it won't import the APK's. So that leaves you with no apps and the market seeing that you already have it. I'm trying to find where the program is pulling that file, and i'll let you know. If anyone else knows where it's at feel free to jump in.

That's what I was thinking but I didn't see it there...
While Im still looking for that file, you could also do the following:
Code:
Use switchrom and save your rom
flash a new rom
download the apks that are giving you problems (if its not too many)
use linda to save the apks to your SD card
switchrom back to the old rom
download and use linda to install the apks you saved.
It's not pretty but it'll get the job done.

Had a little time to look at the phone, did you try to delete the folder in /data/data/com.android.vending/?

Goto terminal emulator.
Type - mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (enter)
Type - rm /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/* (enter)
Type - reboot (enter)
Words in bracket are instructions and not to be typed.

Market error...

I used "Android Commander" to restore all of my APPs.
NOW; my Market is completely screwed up... It shows that I have not installed APPs that are already on my phone.
Any way to correct this?

The problem that you're running into is Android Commander didn't keep the market data for each APK. What you'll need to do is uninstall them and then download from the market, this will give you the correct market information. Here are some programs that backup the market information: Backup for root users, Titanium, My Backup Pro (to list a few)

You could also try the brute force method to rebuild the database. Make sure market is not running when trying this with something like andvanced task manager.
Terminal Emulator
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# rm /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/*
# rm /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/*
# reboot
Once rebooted wait for it to fully load up and then open market/downloads and you shold be back up and running.

I thought about that, but wouldn't this only fix if the market is broken because the Market information was imported but not the APK's?

One of the features added to the "white" market is that when it starts up for the first time, it will cross reference your installed packages against the packages available from the market in order to regenerate its database.

remove stock apps

I am willing to pay someone if someone can figure out how to remove factory apps like
facebook
footprints
peep
quickoffice
stock
visual vm
stock massages
i never use them for some reason they run in the background

Just take a look at this thread from the android forums
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/53646-unwanted-apps.html
NOTE: you MUST have ROOT in order to remove those apps.
If the instructions in that thread about "adb" are too complicated for you, then go buy the Root Explorer app, navigate to the folders you were told to in the thread, click the "r/w" button at the top of the app, then long press on the files you are told to delete.
Deleting system apps is risky if you delete the wrong ones. As usual, you are responsible if anything happens.

As I see it, you must have root to modify system files on your ROM (anyone correct me if I'm wrong)
But I was able to use Titanium Back up (downloaded from the Android market, free) to see all installed programs and I successfully deleted Visual VM, Peep, and stock messages... I use the others...
now so far, my ROM that is installed [2.1 version .3] hasn't had any problems with the removal of these system programs, So I think it is a safe method.
I believe this is a good alternative to adb commands... since you know what you are deleting.
and of course, I am not responsible if you do happen to mess your phone up.

FYI, you were typing the commands wrong.
Right after you do "adb shell" you'll need to type "su" and the $ prompt should change to a # prompt. Check your phone as well after typing "su" as you should see a popup asking for permission.
$ mount -0 rw,remoun /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

should be: mount -o rw,remoun /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
The -o is the letter o, not a zero.

Should be: ls
That's the letter l (lowercase L), not a one.

grdlock, I believe there is a "t" missing in your post:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Ahh, ya, you're right. I just copied/pasted what he wrote and didn't catch that.

I just downloaded Titanium Backup and deleted the "worldclock.apk" and I have to say it's a nice app, (Titanium that is)
So far, from the VanillaDroid ROM, I've deleted the following with no ill effects:
Stocks
Weather ( I use WBug)
Visual Voicemail
Browser ( I use Dolphin)
Quickoffice
MMS
Talk
Mail
Deskclock
I would like to delete the following but am having some difficulty finding the correct "apk"
Camcorder (I think it's built into the camera?)
Call History
People Search
Settings (just the app in the drawer, another NAND before I do this I guess)
Voice Dialer
Voice Search
Voice Record
NaviPanel ***Anyone know if this will mess with Maps?***
FACEBOOK !!!! I deleted the "Facebook.apk" but the FB app is still in the drawer and it still works fine. If anyone could help me with deleting this one I would be forever greatful! Trying to delete it using Titanium, it says: "cannot find Facebook.apk" But it's still friggin there......argh!
Edit: Woohoo! Facebook is gone.

Titanium tells me it needs root acess and that's out of question. Then again, I'm on the lg ally and it might be different... idk. Any other suggestions?

[Q] Help upgrading Market

I recently rooted my Nook color with Auto Nooter 2.12.25. It gave me the Google Market but it is the old one and it only displays 10 apps in portrait mode and some of the buttons have problems working. I read in a thread that the newer market fixes that and I downloaded an apk named com.android.vending02.apk but when I try to install it, the app manager doesn't have an install tab. I downloaded a 3rd party install manager and when I try to install it says that 'There is a problem parsing this package'.
I have read that people have installed the updated market but no one gives an explanation how. Does anyone know how do this? Thanks for your help.

Found solution
I found a solution.

Dont just post you found a solution, that helps no one. post what the solution was or atleast a link to the fix.

Good Call
I installed the APK at the top of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872621 and then reset my NC and the new Market worked. Apparently, after reading through the thread, this method doesn't work for everyone. There are further instructions that may be of some use.

Now my market isn't working. After trying to install this and switch back both times when I open market it just disappears.

I had the same problem on my 1.1.0 NC rooted with Decad3nce's V1.1.0_r2 [01/29/2011] method (there's a huge long thread on that in the Development forum). I was dreading the possibility of having to wipe the machine and start over, but I just re-flashed the zip file, and everything's working fine again. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck with the old Market.

If you're feeling like you can handle cmd-line stuff, try this method out.
First download the attached newmarket.apk
open/connect adb
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb pull /system/app/Vending.apk (notice the cap V, also this will get put into your platform-tools folder. Back it up!)
adb push pathtonewmarket.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
adb reboot
Once you've rebooted then go into settings->applications->manage->all
Find the market and clear the cache
Then find google services framework and clear the data then force quit
reboot once more
After that the new market should work just fine.

Thanks Woot! does this work on Froyo 0.6.7 too?

I can confim that it does, I used it my self to get the new market installed.
If you're booting off of an SD card and want to install the new market there. All you need to do is change one line.
FROM: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system (eMMC system partition)
TO: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system (SD-card system partition)
