Hey man,the name's Andy.I'm new here on XDA and stumbled across this thread just surfing and looking for the MyFaves App as well for my G1. I am running the SuperHero V2 and am also looking for the myFaves app. I know a lot of people don't like it but it's just a quick way to access your favorite 5 people. Anyways...Do you understand any of this jibber jabber at all? I've read the thread and don't understand how to install the app onto my G1. When I flashed the Hero ROM to my G1 I lost the MyFaves App and am just trying to get it back. I've read many many threads on this topic but am still learning how to add apps. Any help would be greatly appreciated from anybody as to how to install this app onto my G1 with Hero Rom. Thanks in advance everybody! Any answers can be sent directly to [email protected] as I do not check threads that much. I check back every other day while being bored at work. Any Help is GREATLY appreciated!

get ready for some more jibba jabba. Be sure your phone is allowed to install non-market apps. Do this by selecting Options then Applications, then make sure you select the check box next to "Unknown Sources".
Next download the .apk and load it onto your SD card. After thats done go ahead and download Astro file manager from the Marketplace. With me so far? Good. Once you have astro installed launch it and look for the .apk you placed on your sd card. If you did everything properly then you will be able to select the .apk and press Install.
Hope that helps

I'm tracking on what your saying and totally understand but where can I download the myfave.apk file from?Thanks again,it's very much appreciated!
short answer: you cant.
the myfaves app is an odex file, completely different ballgame. basically, nobody has found a way of incorporating it into roms yet and t-mobile never put it on the market like their other apps.
regardless, unless youre using the myfaves app for the interface, its useless anyway. set your myfaves through t-mobile.com and then set up direct call links on your desktop using anycut or bettercut.

Couldn't say it any better. Plus you won't want the myfaves app on your phone because its a memory hog.
MyFaves?
OK,one more question. I've been trying to modify things and trying to figure out how to do this. Does anybody know how to use apps2sd to move the myfaves.apk or the odex file or whatever to the sd card? Basically like moving an app to the sd but with the myfaves app? Anybody understand what I'm saying? Just curious. I'm trying to figure this out so that I can try to port it to a Hero build. I'm kinda at a dead end here.Any help is appreciated.
in windows you have to have "show file extensions" enable in the view tab of Folder Options

I have myFaves already,I'm trying to figure out how to move it to the SD Card like apps2sd would do. When I use apps2sd though it does not move MyFaves to the SD card. I think if I could figure this out and get it to work I MAY(not for sure) would be able to port it to a hero build.IDK. I'm just trying anything to get it ported right now.I'm working hard on this and racking my brain and searching and looking and scouring for answers. Thanks for your input though.
I need to change between some sdcards, because I have a lot of videos and games that does not fit in only one sd...
But I have ap2sd, and I figure I need to clone ext partition to the others sd cards (phone hangs if I insert other sdcard) ...
So, that is the question... ¿How can I clone the ext partition of the working sdcard to the rest???
I tried Partion magic, and parangon, but the problem is that software aks to reboot to do the job, and out of windows the usb sdcard reader driver don´t work, and those applications can´t find it when reboot.
I tried ubuntu, but it said I am not (even I am root) the ownership of the files, and don´t let me copy and paste...
I tried G1 terminal with busybox, to copy /system/sd/ to another folder, but it said (even with SU) it can´t, even I see all apps and delvik folder and so on inside /system/sd/...
Any idea how can I do it??
THANKS
check your pm's
So how do you do it?

it involves commands that could be seen as a way to pirate other peoples work so the mods do not like to see them which i cannot blame them. i cannot recall the thread but i saw one where they edited a post that showed how to do pull apps.

Thats cool, I know how to do this. I didn't know if you had a different method that would be helpfull to others.
I would like to switch sdcards too. Anyone can help me?
I've changed some png's (of a working apk) but keeping the size, signed the apk (with the right click method), but I get the message that it's not posible to install it.
What is wrong?
Which rom are you installing them on and your signing tool might be the problem too.
In my experience with GenieWidget.apk for the G1/MT3G, you have to push it to /system/app/ and reboot to get it to work. I don't know if it can be installed to /data/app/.

You can install it the regular way or put it in app_s.
Im using Super D 1.7. And, as I said before, the apk was installable before modifications. I also tried to flash it inside of the rom, like it was before
Here is my apk
nobody has idea?
hi, i try to do this too.

Do sign via the right click signing. Place it in an update.zip and sign the entire update. Then flash the update and you will be fine.

Think it has to be done this way, and probably helps to uninstal the old version first!

If your nexus isn't rooted you can't do any of this thats really the whole point of root

I installed Metamorph to install Darknessv2.5 theme. But whenever i run it I get an error saying "Some Files could not be extracted and set up. Please make sure you have enough free space in /system.". Attached is a screenshot.
I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this one.
Dumb question I know but are you using the cwm flashable darkness file?
Other than that try uninstalling and reinstalling metamorph. It normally does give errors but only the first time you run the app in ntt experience

Just tried and nope, same error again.
Thanks anyway tho.
Most of the time its duet o MetaMorph not extracting the zip correctly. Easiest way to fix it is you will have a folder called Android Themes under your SDCard.
Just unzip the MetaMorph on your desktop and copy the <theme name> Folder into that one on your SDCard and the error should go away.
What do you mean with "unzip the MetaMorph"? I made a folder called "Android Themes" on my sdcard and moved the theme zip in there. Still doesn't works, it's giving me the same error and I have like a 100MB free on /system.
I think he is saying to extract the fileon your computer and then move it to the themes folder on your phone
Well, the thing is Metamorph won't even run. It gives me the error when it does the initial check.
What rom are you running? I have not had any trouble with metamorph aside from the normal first install errors...always works fine the second time it is opened except for one rom I was using a while ago that also had other issues.
Yup never had an issue using MetaMorph on any ROM I've had.
And I had requested that you take the metamorph.zip (the theme) and unzip it then copy it to your SDCard.
But if it is failing right when you start the application.
Try re-installing the app.
Or go to the Metamorph form on XDA here and do some research.
Im running Cog2.3b8 (it's on my sig). And yeah I already tried reinstalling.
Anyways, thanks for the help.
Yea.. I would def go to their post and see if you can get any better luck there.
I have read a few posts about the error your getting but dunno if there is a resolution yet.

Hi.
I have issues here.
I would install market and Astro filemanager.
But I got info that they already was installed.
I cannot see them in the Application->Manage applications
It tells me, that " you don't have any third party apps installed".
I had the idea, that the GT540 is rooted, but obvciously not, as I cannot install apk's using the adb command.
Beside this, I also have this:
process com.android.vending issue.
What can I do?

You've missed the forum, this should be in General or Themes and Apps forum.
You haven't stated what ROM are you using.
Are you trying to install Astro via Play Store or from apk on sd card?
com.android.vending is a Google Play Store app, has it updated itself or is still Market?

Sorry for posting a wrong place :-(
I'm not sure what ROM I'm using. It's the dafault one, as it has not been modified, but Don't know. How to see it?.
It's an LG GT540 I use.
Iwould install it from apk on SD card, but due to a reason I don't know, I cannot get adb to work.
It tells me, that device not found.
I have formatted the SD card with FAT32, and now I cannot see the system path.
Bot worth to mention, I'm a newcomer here on Android :crying:

For recovery and fastboot look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
I'm not sure what puzzled me, but now all is working.
I did an factory reset -one of an enormeus lot-, and after all worked again.
Now I can go to Market and do all what I want.
Thanks for the link to recovery and fastboot.
Will save the link for future use.
So for now, thanks for all your comments and great infos.
They are much appreciated
