I just got the 3.1 update for my Motorola Xoom OTA and everything seems to be working fine except for the movie studio app which seems to not be installed, I already tried the APK here which refuses to install, is there a more recent copy of the APK somewhere around?
Are you trying to start the application with the desktop shortcut ? Have you tried to start it with the shortcut present in the application drawer list ?

I had this issue ever since I first started messing around with my Xoom, I'm now on 3.1 and it was still borked but just do the following, because it solved my Books, Movie Studio and YouTube problems:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Google Partner Setup and click on "Clear Data." Shut down your Xoom and turn it back on and you should be good to go.

Have the same issue and tried the solution posted by spdapimp217....still no luck. Did you have to do anything different other than clear data in manage applications and restarting?

No that's all I did and it worked fine. Are you on 3.1? I don't think that should make a difference though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Yes...I am on 3.1. The issue started since the OTA update.
So, I freaked out too because I had a desktop shortcut that no longer worked. I didn't even think to look in the app drawer, so I found a thread which posted the original 3.0 apk and adb pushed it to /system/app and then chmod'ed it to 644. It worked just fine, but then I noticed that I had 2 Movie Studio icons in my app drawer. So I went into adb shell in /system/app and noticed two files: VideoEditor.apk (which I installed from the download on the thread) and VideoEditorGoogle.apk.
So, in summary, I rm VideoEditor.apk from the /system/app directory and attached the VideoEditorGoogle.apk to the original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13890443&postcount=11
So, if you're still missing the Movie Studio, feel free to adb push this into /system/app and make sure to chmod 644 /system/app/VideoEditorGoogle.apk
i can't seems to see the video editor under my app drawer.
any ideas?
i am running on Xoom 3g UK (rooted).
i have chmod it to 644, still no luck.

Make sure you're using Market for 2.x.
You can also verify this by using Astro and attempt to install /system/app/Vending.apk.
The problem was that i had not installed gtalk service and some other dependencies, now the market is installed but whe i try to start it it closes immediately, logcat gives auth errors, maybe i have to setup a google account in the setupwizard first... Thank you.
Hey, not sure if this really belongs here, or in General, but since its semi-hacking the system, I'll post here first.
It seems, so far, that Touchwiz isn't nearly as deeply integrated as Sense is, and that at least some of Samsung's Modified Apps can just be backed-up, deleted, and replaced with the stock apps from Android 2.1 (using apps ripped from CM5.0.8 for Nexus 1 for my attempts.)
So, I thought I'd start a list of stock Android 2.1 apps that people have made work on the vibrant. I know a lot of people are waiting for CM or other custom roms and alternate recovery images, but in the mean time, lets start customizing!
I have confirmed the following to work, but only after the original touchwiz apps are deleted from /system/app, then the stock apps are installed via the standard installer to /data/app and cp over to /system/app then reboot
Music.apk
DeskClock.apk
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
GenieWidget.apk
Mms.apk (NEW! added 7/21/2010)
Another pleasant surprise, is that I now have the default Calendar, music, and news & weather widgets on my vibrant!
Again, adb push didn't work for anything since I can't remount with r/w access yet, but a su adb shell allowed me to busybox cp them to /sytem/app once they were installed.
I've tried the same method with the CM5.0.8 LiveWallpapers with no success, so maybe someone else has some suggestions?
My next step is to test out bringing the original phone.apk and contacts.apk/contactsprovider.apk over
7/21/2010
Got the default messaging app from CM 5.0.8 brought over, still having tons of trouble with the default dialer and contacts/contacts provider, samsung has buried their signature for these deep in android somewhere, even outside of /data/system/packages.xml so any attempt to install the CM versions even after removing the Touchwiz apps fail.
7/22/2010
Pushed ADW Launcher to system, works like a charm! However, removing the TouchWiz30Launcher apk/odex and replacing with adw or launcher pro generates constant FC's for me, so sadly, it looks like it has to stay installed for now.
cheers everyone!

Sorry for the confusion about 'news and weather' I just meant I was unable to adb push the apk directly to system. It installs fine by default to /data/app but I wanted it in /system/app to survive resets, hence the busybox cp.
So far no luck with contacts/contactsprovider =(
Every version I try give me an install failed error, regardless of removing all traces of the samsung versions, even their references in /data/system/packages.xml

Hi again.
I haven't tried deleting the touchwiz launcher yet, but I'm using launcherPro Plus (and playing with ADW too, I really like that ADW supports the touchwiz horizontal style 'paging' in the app drawer, and hope launcher pro eventually supports it too) and they both work quite well, and should work fine when pushed into /system/app too.
Will update if I'm brave enough to remove the TW launcher, probably not tonight though, just spent the last 3 hours trying to get the stock dialer & contacts, and it was an epic fail, samsung has buried the touchwiz dialer/contacts signature deep, so no matter what I try, I always get an Install_failed_update_incompatible error when pushing the stock apps to the phone.
This is the same error I first received with the calendar, but a simple settings->applications->manage applications 'uninstall' of the remaining TWCalendar and Provider, and a reboot cleared that error, sadly that's not the case with dialer and contacts.
Maybe a wipe would fix this, but I'll wait another day or so to see how the clockwork custom recovery pans out, plus I need to make sure nandroid works so I can backup before I try that.
It also might be linked to something buried in the TW framework, I don't know, but I'm so not brave enough to mess with frameworks yet.
cheers everyone
Root Explorer allows your mount and unmount system drives btw. I like using it over ADB bc I can do it on the bus or train while commuting.
If I want to install the Stock 2.1 Calendar App, do I need to install the Calendar provider apk as well? I know the answer seems obvious but I just want to check

I installed after deleting the existing market apk. It force closes every time I try to use it. I cannot move it or copy it to system apps. I can put it in either internal memory or on the SD card. I can accept market terms and start it but then it force closes. I tried clearing data, cache and rebooting but same force close every time. I did not delete market updater apk. Any suggestions? I have the original market reinstalled until I can come up with a solution.
Woah, that's a huge change. o.o
I recommend getting the sgs tools app from the market. It has this included now and you don't have to worry about sideloading or moving the apk with a file manager or adv commands. The new market is really nice.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
works on cm6.1 beta 3
Worked on Perception 8. Just copied it over to my sdcard and installed it using the normal installer. Thanks man! It looks awesome.

New market seems like a step backwards in some ways. I can see the need to reduce the refund time, but 15 minutes is nuts. Also, removing the tabs? That's just a mess.
Bring the tabs back, and make refund time 3 hours, and I'm a happy guy.
I also think it's a step backwards in a lot of ways. Yeah, that nice green design header looks cool... but it dominates the damn screen. Annoying!

Yea... but you can scroll around and lose the header once you start browsing.
Didn't have any issues after installing it - search feature worked.
Just downloaded straight onto my phone and used the base installer (no droid explorer, astro etc..) and it worked fine.
Also you get the "update all" on the top button under your downloads if you have multiple updates - which I did
Thanks again for this.
It seems that since updating to the AT&T 2.2 Froyo update and rooting the market will not recognize any side loaded apps that have been added to the phone since upgrading to 2.2. All apps that I side loaded on 2.1 are recognized and can be updated but nothing on 2.2. Anyone else have this problem and if so have you been able to fix this issue?
I used SuperOneClick to root the phone and did a reboot the phone afterward to allow side loading of apps and it is working. I am still using the adb install command to side load all my apps, is this wrong?
If this is something that is not to be discussed I apologize now.
Well I don't have a direct answer to your question but since you are rooted I highly suggest you go and get Titanium Backup along with atrackdog.
The former application will alloa you to backup any applications you want (or aall of them) and then save them to your computer. you can then move the folder to any phone and use Titanium to reinstall the applications exactly where you left off. That means launchers will have the same layouts and games will still have their save states.
The latter will allow you to check the update status of those applications since they won't show up as downloaded applications from the market.

Actually, it does. Market only keeps track of the apps you buy/download through it. What you're asking is like expecting Wal-Mart to know what you bought from Target.

Market should update automatically. As far as the sideload apps you can. Also get root explorer and copy paste them to system/app then reboot and they'll all be there.

So your are saying instead of using adb installer just do a drop and drag to the system/app folder and install them that way? Now will that put them in the market place? I don't quite understand what you are really saying here. Excuse my ignorance.

That's exactly what I was thinking was moving the file to the system/app file then reinstalling the .apk first then doing the 3 button reboot to see if it would recognize the app on the market. I did try just a 3 button reboot after side loading a few apps using ADB Installer and just doing the normal drop and drag to the sim card and I know that doesn't recognize them. I am going to try and reinstall one of my apps that way and I will let you know if it shows up or not.
When trying to move a new .apk file to the system/app file it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is a read-only."

It probably needs to be installed in /system/apps which is where the original is located. Without it coming to you from Google Ota, I am not sure how to move the file without root.
I wonder why it would be available to download from the market if that was the case.
Just give it a few tries. Mine is installed in /data, and it works fine...
Make sure that your default install location is set to internal or automatic (I think that is an option with stock Gingerbread). I remember reading that this failed if you had it set to install things to external.

I was thinking this was also in a stock install. I guess it is a CyanogenMod only thing. I'd guess this isn't your problem if you don't even have the option to change.
Good. I noticed you found the other post that I had seen about this. (I had the hardest time trying to find that, because I wanted to reference it for this thread.)
But for others, plug your phone into the usb and make sure you have adb set up (this isn't the place for a tutorial, there are lots that can be found through google). And make sure USB Debugging is turned on. Then enter this command on your computer.
Code:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0
