Android market - Captivate Themes and Apps

I am trying to figure out if I am just doing something wrong or what. I have never really paid for an app, but with the issues lately with viruses, I decided that I was going to start replacing the apps I have with the 'official' versions. But a couple of them are for work and I need to add them to my AT&T bill. I am running cognition4.3 and my market does not have the option for billing to AT&T. Is it because I am running a custom rom? What can I do to fix this issue? One of the apps is 30.00 and I really don't want to have to pay that out of pocket.

First thing to do is make sure you are using your correct Android_ID
There is a fantastic app for that found on the market called Android ID changer, of course you need to know your original android ID first, which the only way you would get that would be to flash back to original then get your ID, save it, and reflash your custom rom of choice.
This is just what I have done in the past to correct that problem, there may be another way.

the correct id?
Hmm, well I really did not want to have to flash back to stock for that kind of information, does anyone else know where i can find it?
I guess I can do a back up and then flash back to stock and then restore my back up.

Each device has its own ID so you will need to get yours from your stock build.

I am at work now, my boss had a USB cable for me so I did a Clockwork back up flashed with odin, got the id from the market app, and now restoring from back up. I guess I will know shortly if it will work or not.
Edit: reinstalled rom then i will restore from back up.

ok, well that did not work any other ideas?

Rogers HTC Dream Build help

I am trying to restore my phone to the original state.
I managed to get root but I stupidly put in a theme that messed up my phone.
Every time I go into the recovery utility the Build says:
CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF
How do I get rid of this and put the real Build back?
I have been searching for hours.
please help!

Now it wont even get past the Rogers boot screen! HELP!!!!
That would be the build for your recovery; it's irrelevant unless you want your phone back to exactly how it was when you first got it.
You'll need to restore a nandroid backup. It shouldn't be hard to find out how to do it but try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538134.

You seem to misunderstand me. I assume you want it to run like how it did when you first got it. And that's exactly what you have done from following the thread I linked you, I assume.
The CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF is ONLY for the recovery. It doesn't have anything to do with your boot problem.

This statement is not quite correct.
To get it EXACTLY like it was before. You would also need to do something about that recovery.img (which is called CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF). Unless you're returning the phone to Rogers or you have OCD, that should not matter and doing what the thread says will be fine.
thank you for your help. got everything to work properly!

Help!! Help!! Help!!

Got your attention ?
Having trouble with my cappy, hope somebody knows how to help.
Basically I can flash back to stock, flash any rom or kernal. But when I try to update from market, I click ok to download app and it just sits at ok button, does not go any further. Tibu also hangs when I try to restore backups. If I try to install an app from ext-sd, it just sits in limbo and never installs.
I have repeated this process several times, flashed back to stock, master clear and flash new rom, everytime with the same results that I mentioned above.
Something interesting though, when I flash back to stock and try to install from market or from my ext-sd card and Tibu, everything works fine.
I don't get it! Anyone with some insight ? Thanks in advance
This thing is driving me insane

Can't help but think it's google related issue. Everything works fine with stock rom. But as soon as I flash to any other rom, all the above issues begin
Does the rom assign you a generic id that everyone has? Did you copy your unique id from stock?

Have not tried that, is there a tutorial somewhere on how to do so ?

I would try the android id changer. Like the last post said u will have to write your id down the first time at stock then use the I'd changer app to change it once flashed. Did you also try clearing the market data. Just Few things I have tried and worked in the past. But on the other hand the market is kinda screwy in the first place so sometimes it can be hard to tell whats working and what isn't

Clear the market cache. That has caused apps to not download.

[REQ] Stock Revo Recovery

A problem has come up with my Revo's orientation sensor that I have yet to find a fix for. Fyi I tried every rom on here, fully wiping, everything I can think of, and everything, including a sensor app i found to look at all the sensors, says its out of wack. Anyway, Im gonna bring it to verizon to see if theyll switch it out under warranty, but I want to return to full stock before I do, and I just so happen to have misplaced my original stock recovery backup ><. Would anyone be so generous as to upload it somewhere or some way to get it to me? Or somewhere I can find it? Thanks.

Do you want the recovery image to replace CWM or a stock back up?
The stock back up can be found on here somewhere. The cubed posted it up I believe adn the Stock recovery to replace CWM is with the Revotoolkit, also somewhere around here posted up by cubed. Hope I helped.
Remember to thank me if it did.
Thanks a ton, I didnt see that RevoToolkit had stock in it, that really helped!

[ROM][WIP] Flashable Stock HTC 626s Debloated 2.27.651.6 (Sprint/VM/Boost) (9-2-16)

Info:
This is a custom stock rom that is only for sprint devices (Sprint/Vm/Boost). It was made using SuperR's Kitchen. It is rooted and I tried to removed as much as I could. This is just a work in progress so there will probably be more that I will remove and will replace some of the apps with updated and better versions based on user input. Also included for those that wish to make their own rom is an decrypted rooted stock. I have tested these extensively, but as always make a full backup before flashing and do a full wipe just in case. I am not responsible for any damages or loss of data that may occur from flashing these roms.

Let me know if there are any problems/request you have I'll try to do my best to fix them as quickly as possible.
I would like to thank @Captain_Throwback for all of his help in making this rom.
*updated links 9-2-16
Nice! I'm downloading now. Thanks for putting in the time. Can't wait to check it out.

Let me know how it goes. I still have some work to do on it. Wasn't really sure what some of the files were. I'll be running more test to see what else I can remove and still have it boot. Wan't to get this as small as possible. If I removed anything that breaks something important let me know. As I said I'm not a dev and this is my first attempt.
No doubt. I have no problem putting it through the wringer. I'll let you know if I find anything, as well as any fixes that may work. I'm stoked to get back to my 626 and get to flashing!
I'll keep an eye on this. Just got the phone in the mail and noticed the extreme amounts of bloatware. Can't wait to root Dx.
Everything seems to be functioning correctly so far. Nice, lite and responsive. Flashed well, maybe 3 minutes total to complete. Boot up took even less. As of this post, no FC's or hangups found.
Solid rom! Thanks again!
Finally a rom for the sprint variants! I'll be giving this a try, downloading now. I hope it solves the low memory problems....

Removed most of the apps that were causing problems. Have another version that I am currently working on that will have the updates included and a few more apps removed. Only problem is this phone is very hard to make flashable roms for. Most attempts end with a boot loop. Still not giving up though.
A few things I have noticed: first is the HTC Account apk was missing so I couldn't sign in to install themes. I fixed that by downloading it from Google Play and making it a system app using rom toolbox pro.
Secondly I'm not sure if our phone has a magnetometer (compass) I would think it would have one. But it's not working.
Other than those 2 issues, this is a solid rom. Good job man. Keep up the good work.
I'm trying to get viper4Android to work but it keeps telling me my busybox installation is broken which it isn't.
Might wanna see if you can include busybox in future updates. Just a suggestion.
Oops, sorry noob here, got the 626s desire but connected to the bell network. if this is a sprint rom i guess i got to go back to rooted stock? The rom boots but hangs at activation. am i correct?
Unfortunately until someone comes up with a rom for your variant, you'll have to go back to your original rom. I hope you made a backup before you installed this rom.
I have the boost mobile variant and I still can't get twrp to work only Cyan recovery anyone know anything about getting two to work I used captainthrowback
Maybe I should learn how to read better. Is new so started off the bat with nothing on it so no backup I did with it. Worst case is I'm screwed lol.

You might not be screwed. Try searching the HTC website for an Ruu for your carrier. Once you find it lock your bootloader, then let it run its magic. Should return you back to stock.
@Sinister Drake I removed a lot of HTC stuff as I didn't think most people use it. If I do remove something you really need and can't find let me know and I'll re-add it.
As for busybox it does come pre-installed. Why some apps find it and others do not I can't really say. Doing a busybox check does show it's there.
Now as for the compass that is a issue that worries me. All my research says this phone has one, but it doesn't work even on my recovery. I need to know if it was something that worked on stock or if it was just false reporting by HTC, so I can narrow down the problem. It shouldn't be a problem with my rom as it is taken directly from the RUU, but I cannot be for certain until I get more feedback.
You know I screwed myself and went to quick because I had it rooted with twrp and oh look debloated firmware without paying attention to the Carrier, Doh! You know what silly, I called HTC Canada because bell is a Canadian outfit and they apparently don't supply ruu's like the states does. Oh well my bad 200 smackers later and a new phone. I guess on the bright side I can root it lol. Maybe one of the excellent developers will somehow create a bell version.
New version = https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzHOZHL6ZwXhRWxZNG4zc3lDSWc Removed an extra 200mb now total over 600mb freed. Also, updated the OP with the list of apps that have been remove. As always if I removed something you want and can't find let me know I will add it back in. Been using this version for a few days and found no errors, but make a backup just in case. Report any error you find I'll do my best to fix them.
Working on updating the apps to free up even more space. After that I'll be replacing some apps with lighter versions. Once I get any significant build I'll post it.
@kindlefire39 hopefully you can find someone else that has this phone in your region to make a backup for you. Once you get that you can easily use suprr kitchen to make a debloated version.
Is it possible to backup my new phone and use super kitchen? Or am I out in left field? I could be the first one with a bell mobility variant.

Once you flash a rom it overwrites the one you currently have installed. That is why it is good to make a backup before you flash. Out of curiosity have you tried to flash Captain_Throwback's rom? Its for metropcs but if you can get your phone to boot you can call your phone company tell them your phone is on a different carrier and you need the codes for the phone to work on their network. If you do get it to boot some things might not work, like the wifi, but it can get you through until you can get a proper rom/backup. Try posting in the help section asking for someone to make a backup of their phone. Heck even try asking anyone you know that has the same phone if you can borrow it for a bit to fix yours.

When I installed the rom I did not see Busybox, I installed it from google play. I'm still trying to figure out how to get viper4android to work to no avail. Maybe you can add it as a system app with the rom. With that being said, I've learned that another thing you have to do to get it to work is to use the selinux changer. with a quick google search you can find it elsewhere to download since it is not availble on google play anymore.
I do have to give you props though man, you're doing a fantastic job developing this rom whilst not being a developer. Kudos to you brother.
---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------
Is it possible that you could provide the apk for the HTC clock widget? I really dig the flip clock style. I can install it myself, I just dont have the apk for it
Sorry what I meant is I got a second phone because HTC Canada couldn't help. I just bit the bullet. So with the new phone can I make a stock backup or through twrp than backup? If I have a stock backup, than I could custom it and delete apps that you did for yours in your list.

returning to stock.. no pin

Can't figure out how to disable it asking for the PIN at initial boot.. I'm returning to Tmobile(JUMP).. I'm assuming they'll have a problem with this. I miss good 'ol odin , just flash stock. Any info or help to get it back to stock would be appreciated, it's been well over a year since I've rooted/unlocked and I'm going to start restoring tonight.
Odin?!?! With Nexus devices you can use fastboot which is much more powerful than Odin.
Here are factory images for Nexus devices and on the page are included instructions on how to return to stock.
its a google security feature. even if you factory reset 10 times, itll still ask for your pin. just enter it, then you can change it. or did you steal the phone? btw, thats why its there, so no one can steal your phone, factory reset it, then use it.
Thanks for the input.. didn't know it was a google feature, was thinking it was something with the rom I installed since it started around that time(cataclysm). Anyway.. I got it figured out.. downloaded stock image and ran the flashalll.bat .. sheesh that was easy.

the only issue others could have is flash-all not working. to get around that, you just flash each part separately.
