Flash not working? Or I mess up?

I just did the update to 2.2 on my bone stock t-mobile N1. Worked perfectly.
Next I went on the app market and downloaded flash 10.1.
Decided to try out new flash capabilities on the internet.
Except every flash video or game i tried on multiple websites failed to load. I either got the same old little blue flash box or a message saying I need flash player.
Am i doing something wrong?
Oh and on top of the above flash let down my swype keyboard no longer works...

Try to locate the app on your phone
Try to licate its shared library .so
Try adb logcat

Ok think I solved both my own problems. Uninstalled swype and reinstalled and it works fine now.
As for my flash problem.
I had ADW launcher running as my default launcher. I decided to take off the default to try the stock 2.2 launcher. Tried flash again and suddenly all flash was working fine. Reset ADW launcher as default launcher and flash still working properly.
Not sure how launcher default was preventing flash from kicking in, but temporarily switching back too stock launcher woke my flash player up.

Indeed.. i find this strange.
But good that you solved your problems.
Maybe report to anderweb?

Ok, need some help! TW Launcher is FC looping!

Ok, I finally got myself into a corner that I can not find an easy way out of.
I wanted to try the 5 slot TW launcher available through SGS tools.
After installing it, it had no "phone" icon so I could not figure out a way to get to the dialer. So I went to the location were SGS Tools made a backup and clicked the .APK - it "installation failed" so I rebooted. Upon reboot all I get a a twlauncher force close loop.
is this recoverable, or am I flashing?
Thanks

delete the twlauncher.apk in system/apps.

Likely flashing, maybe try a factory reset in recovery, or if you can mount sd in recovery maybe push another launcher apk and boot.
But once again I think you are flashing
CM7

Try taking the tw launcher apk out of whatever rom you have first and copy it over to see if it fixes the issue first. If not, probably need to reflash.

Ok, let me make sure I got this:
Connect phone to PC
Use Droid Explorer to browse to system/apps
delete twlauncher.apk
reboot phone
Is that right?
I just need to make it through tomorrow with a usable phone!
Wanted to add, current set up is AT&T 2.2 ROM with SuperCurio's KB1+Voodoo kernel
Anyone have a link to a stock twlauncher.apk

I'm pretty sure he does. He said he downloaded twlauncher from sgstools. The other launch will automatically become the default.
Better check if you have 2 launchers in the folder. I think the one you downloaded from sgstools is TouchWiz30Launcher.

Yes, I can browse to it on my PC using Droid Explorer. In system/app it is called TouchWiz30Launcher. However, it must be R/O because I can not delete it. Is there a way to mount R/W using Droid Explorer?
There is another file called TouchWiz30Launcher in the sgstools folder...

Ok, I might have just caught a break. A "you have market updates" just popped up in my notification bar.
Should a DL and install Launcher Pro and Home Switcher?

Sounds like a good time to upgrade to Gingerbread launcher. I use it and I loved it. And sgs told you to make sure you had a back up launcher (like launcher pro) before you did that.

why not flash the older launcher again using CWM?

I am running launcher pro right now... even if I did have a backup launcher, I do not know how I would have gotten to it considering twlauncher was in a FC Loop...

Good idea, but I do not have a flashable zip of the stock launcher...

simply go into settings, applications, then manage running application then search the launcher app currently running then select remove defaults after that click force stop the launcher it will bring you back to your default launcher. do not install yet another until you solve the force close. if you install many launchers in your phone force stop other launchers in your all application setting as it will cause battery drain, memory and incompatibility issue since you are running other launchers in the background even if you are not using them.

Ok, I'll try that out. I did not think I could get into settings in the state the phone was in. Good to know that the capacitive buttons should still work without a running launcher.

ETA: in setting/applications/manage applications/running twLauncher is not listed. It is not even listed under .../all ... ?

It should be there it's impossible to know you're running the app but is not present in running applications. Try to open the apps that has a word launcher in it and see if it is running with the option to clear defaults if it has that is the one you should force close.

[Q] Stock ZV8 Lock Screen for BrokenOut?

I recently upgraded to ZV8, then flashed mt's BrokenOut 1.1. The ROM itself works great, but I would like to get the stock lock screen back. Is there a way to extract from my stock Nandroid backup without negating any BrokenOut tweaks?
This was already asked on the BrokenOut thread, but kinda got lost in the sauce, and I'm still under the 10 post minimum...

I would also like the stock lock screen .. i like the one on bo 1.1 but it doesnt show and noti.'s

I would like it too. I am not a fan of the default BO 1.1 lock screen . I did try and experiment to get it to work from the gingerhome add on but my phone would only boot to a black screen and had to do a restore.

That's about where I'm at. I'm sure you can do that with the stock zv8 framework package, but I'm not sure if you only use part of that, or if you can just flash the whole thing...

I think if you want that you will also need the whats app from LG but I could be wrong.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that it is part of the lg_home launcher. MT removed it and put adw in its place. Idk if you can use MT's stock app tool to reinstall it in BOR.
--My REVO is Broken, tweaked, SC'd, and TB'd. Just awesome!

You could try restoring them if you made app backups but it doesn't always work with system apps

I put the LG Home from the Esteem on my phone with broken out. I took it out of GingerHome. I like the Esteem version better then the Revolution version so I have that working. I Know you can put the stock LG home launcher on from MT's stock app tool as I tried that before going to the Esteem version.
Anyways, does anyone know if the lock screen is just an app I can try installing and the name if it is? From my research I thought the lock screen was deeper into the OS then just an app.

I think it's part of android.policy.jar, but I'm really not sure.

I think the whatsnew app is what was tied into the lock screen. The whats new app gathered information from all your social media and email apps and displayed it out, and I think to the lock screen, but I think all that only works with the LG stock apps, look forward to your findings and could you post up where you got the esteem home app and whats required to make it work.
Thanks...

I got the esteem home app from gingerhome. Go to the dev forum and in the gingerhome thread download the file. Unzip the contents and look through the folders to find the apps. It is the LGHome.apk I think. You can just push it to /system/app with adb but you need to remount the the filesystem to write.
After that reboot and when you hit your home soft key it will ask which one you want and you can set that as default.
I have everything on my work laptop so I will try and get more detailed instructions later or tomorrow.
The WhatsNew.apk just locks up the stock weather app if you are using it so hold off until I or someone else can figure out how to put the stock lock screen back on.

The WhatsNew app only works with the stock lock screen. The LGHome app is just the home screen, which is easily replaced by any number of home apps, i.e. adw or nemus. I haven't had much time to mess with it lately, and perhaps the option will come from mt after he updates BO to to ZV9...

I've got the stock lg lock screen back by adding the lg home and replacing the framework Res with the one from the stock ROM. It took
A few days for the system to settle but I had the stock lock screen.

I'm not sure what Metamorph is, but you could always revert back to stock using RSD or the AtrixHD Utility found on the dev section. If you've already installed SafeStrap, you can download our only "ROM" option which is the BetaKang ROM. The ROM is smooth but has a few issues. Read that thread if you want more info and what's working and what isn't. Good luck!

[Q] HELP! deleted my home launcher

Got my droid 3 rooted and installed go launcher. After running a DE bloat script it didn't appear to have worked so I uninstalled go launcher and realized that the script had only work on my home launcher. Been reading and searching all night about how to go about flashing a rom back in and cant seem to find the correct steps. Any help would be great. Determined to learn this all but a few pointers in the right directions seem to be what I need to get my phone back the quickest. Thanks
