[Q] Acer liquid E ..Flashing questions, Please help

Hi,
I have an Acer Liquid E from Rogers Canada
I just used a Rom Flashing Guide from another site ... MoDaCo...
It required : ADB, fastboot, Malez Recovery, However it did not require a .bin flashing
so i ended up with a Rooted LCR 1.8 rom... which is great but i didn't get a chance to do the Titanium Backup of my stock apps..but i did however do the "Nandroid backup"....
So is Nandroid Backup sufficient to get my rom back to stock so i can send to repair?
On my stock rom... Google Maps worked for a bit...then kept on "force closing" ...and on this rom its the samething...so is this a common problem?
If i want to try another rom now.... how do i flash the necessary bin ?
Thank you!

I think for some reason Google Maps force closes if you are on wifi but not connected to a hotspot (common problem in all recent 2.1 Liquid bins). Could this possibly be the problem?

And I think current roms work on any Eclair bin. Not 100% sure though.
But to flash, download the Acer Download Tool (you can find it on the instructional wiki in LCR Google Code page) download the .bin file and follow the first half of the instructions on that wiki.

Oh I think you're right.. i guess i wasn't connected to a hotpspot b4....just tried it.. Google Map works!!! but it shudn't FC just like that!! on my Vibrant i dont get that!
About flashing: So If i flashed a bin right now, with LCR 1.8 ...it shouldn't be a problem?
Thanks for your fast replies!!!

Honestly, I've seen (or heard of) this problem on all official Acer bins (I have tried .39 and .63, have had it on both).
So flashing a new bin would not make much of a difference (though it would change your baseband). If you want you can, but it isn't necessary.

I had a similar problem on my Acer Liquid E - Rogers Wireless.
When I first opened google maps, it alerted me that an update was available for this application. So I opened the update and learned that the update provided google's voice enabled turn by turn navigation. So I installed the update. After that, evertime I opened google maps I got the error message:
Process com.google.android.maps stopped unexpectedly. Force close?​
So I uninstalled the update and the error messages went away. Re-installed the update and they returned.
That's when I noticed that Rogers had also installed something called RogersNav on my Liquid E. I tried it and it just went to a web page that said "coming soon". It also turned out to be a paid subscription app.
A call to Rogers customer service confirmed by suspicions. "We don't support that application (google navigation) on Android. In other words, we disabled it so that you would subscribe to our crappy RogersNav service.
None of the pre-installed (and un-removable) Rogers apps were of any utility to me, so I proceeded to root the phone, install the community LCR_1.8 image and .... presto google maps with turn by turn navigation and voice directions works!
Not only that, but now I can uninstall all the other crap like urMusic, urFooze, RogersNav, Rogers My Account, urShopping, etc. (actually I didn't have to uninstall them because they are not included in the stock image).
The only thing I lost that I might want at some point is Documents2Go Lite (which I backed up so that I can re-install if I choose).

Google Navigation No text-to-speech

I am unable to get my text-to-speech to work after many ROMs and many different versions of android I am still having a problem. I say that because I do not think this problem has anything to do with a particular ROM. That being said, I am running the CM6 nightly (10/13/10).
In an attempt to download text-to-speech though the marketplace, I downloaded voicebot which needs text-to-speech to run properly, after installing it prompts me to download text-to-speech from the marketplace, I click go, it searches and finds nothing.
If anyone has had this or a similar problem, I am open to any suggestions to try and get this working.
ps it did work when I first had the stock sprint running on this phone.

Text-to-Speech
Anything? am i posting this in the right place?

Have you tried reflashing? Reflashing with no wipe? Removing any themes?
Sent from my FroYoed Sprint Hero

It works fine for me. I use pico for my tts.

Did you install it? When I first ran google navigation it prompted me to install it, took me directly to market, and then it worked for me

I have a copy of the svox files if you want you should b able to just place them on ur sd card and just leave them there pm me if you want them might work might not worth a try good luck

[Q] PlayOn and Newer Youtube

I just got my NC last night in the mail and got it rooted and pretty much how I want it. Just 2 questions.
1) PlayOn from MediaMall doesn't show up in the market but I copied it from my phone (Captivate) and it doesn't show up as a app and won't install. I copied it to /data/app, same location it was, on the Captivate.
2) When I first rooted the newer YT app worked and then I got the instant close, I got a version working but I wanted to see if there is a way to get the new one working again?
I have searched and didn't come up with much.
Thanks.
Edit: NM Playon requires 2.2 , I will leave the question about PlayOn here for reference if anyone else tried to install.
Edit: I found a thread that has a signed_youtube.apk.
I remembered that last night Search wasn't working, thats why I didn't find anything.

Youtube stopped working after a reboot! Seems like wipe data in TiBu worked after reboot, does this need to be done every time? Or does this have to do with accessing My Channel?

I don't Think that Question has ever been fully answered for the stock roms. All I know is that at some point the youtube app will stop working and you have to clear the cache. I doubt it will get fixed, people are far to interasted in getting the newer roms working. Once B&N creates a stock 2.2 rom maybe then the issues with go away.

You can get Froyo running off SD. Also most Apps won't work if you just push them to the Android Device. If you have adb working run "adb install appname.apk" otherwise go to Settings --> Apllication --> Unknown Sources then copy the APKs to the Internal Storage and then use Astro File Manager to Install them.

[Q] HTC One Automatically Reboots "Process com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding"

[Q] HTC One Automatically Reboots "Process com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding"
I managed to "successfully" flash the ViperOne 6.1.0 ROM onto my Sprint HTC One (S-On.) However, I get a message saying "Process com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" This causes my phone to automatically reboot every couple of minutes, making it useless. I also noticed some thins don't work such as the Play Store and the search bar on the home screen. It is apparent that something is wrong with the flash (even though I tried to flash it twice after I saw this behaviour the first time and I did wipe both times.)
What is going on? How can I fix it? What causes it (what I really want to know is if I were to fix it and then attempt to install the ROM again, would it cause the issue again?)

Maybe flash the latest radio/baseband

Does that mean flash the firmware? If so, that won't be possible. My phone is S-On, and from what I've read it needs to be S-Off. I tried to make it S-Off a few minutes ago using Rumrunner but it failed (because my phone automatically rebooted during the process I assume.)
Plus, I can't access my phone's storage via my computer; it doesn't seem to mount properly. Wouldn't matter if it did anyways, as it disconnects after a minutes anyways. I was hoping I could just install the stock ROM and leave this stuff alone for now.
I should mention that this is the first time I've ever tried to flash a custom ROM or really do anything "advanced" with an Android phone. I didn't expect to run into so many bloody problems. What a nightmare.

You can flash the radio from recovery.
Since you can't connect to PC while booted to rom boot to recovery and type
Code:
adb push filename.zip /sdcard/
When it's on your phone just choose it and flash once it's done flashing wipe cache and dalvik cache and you should be good

Okay, I flashed the latest radio. So far it hasn't said anything about the dialer crashing and when I open it, it actually works. However, the play store and search bar (and probably other things) still don't work. Something is still wrong.
For now I just want to make my phone work and I will try to go back to the stock ROM, though I still want to get the custom ROM working.

I flashed it doesn't seem like it's helping. The only problem that I am experiencing right now is that the play store doesn't work. It just shows a blank, white screen and seems to re-open over itself. I get a notification saying "An application requires installation of Google Play Services. Requested by com.google.android.gsf.login" When I click on the notification, it takes me to the play store and nothing happens (though one time the phone rebooted after I pressed it.) I found that I do have Google Play Services installed and that the notification is supposed to take me to the store page for the app, but it doesn't work.

go to accounts in settings and delete the account then add the account with your gmail account and password, might straighten you out

Managed to remove to account but can't add it. When I try to sign in, it says "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later." I am sure I have an internet connection because I checked by opening the browser and doing a random Google search.

Connected via Wi-Fi. My phone says I am also connected to the network, but I believe that this is false because I have not activated my phone (unless activating it on the stock ROM transfers over to this one?) and in the rare occasion that I get ANY service in this part of my home, it'd be only one bar, not four.

if your not activated that's why the market nots working or google services.

No, it's not that. I tried to activate and it told me it was already activated.
By the way, I tried turning off 2-step verification and it still returns the same error.

I pushed the apk successfully. I tried to install it normally, and as stated, it didn't work. I did find the Sprint Zone app in my apps list afterwards though. When I try to go to System Updates in Settings, I get a message saying "Settings has stopped working." or something along those lines.

yeah, it's a known bug, that's why you have to use the sprint zone app, under my device to update the profile. how i got it was to go to titanium backup and found the sprint zone apk and restored app and data. but it may not work for you, it worked for me though.

Ah, okay. I thought I had to have the app installed. Didn't know I had to do it through the app rather than settings. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the Google log-in issue. I also noticed that now if I try to access YouTube, it will tell me that it needs Google Play Services and that I don't have it installed.

doesn't it ask you if yu want to install google services did you try to clear data and reboot on the google stuff, like the play store etc
yeah you have to have the apk installed.

I posted earlier stating that I saw Google Play Services listed under my apps, and it was up-to-date as far as I know. It does ask me if I want to install it but then takes me to the Google account sign-in (which I can't sign into.) Clearing the data on every Google app I saw and rebooting did not resolve the sign-in issue.
I'm going to try to re-flash the ROM, fix, and radio because I managed to sign in during the set-up. I'll see if that clears up all of my problems.
EDIT: WORKED! Few minutes in and not a single problem so far. Signed into Google and the Play Store works. I may be speaking too soon though.
Thanks for the help!
Side question: How can I remove some apps such as HTC Apps and HTC Backup? I click on them and it says the apps are not installed but they still show up in the list of apps.

[App] Lollipop Gmail and Calendar

Hello Everyone. I came across these on a different section of XDA, and figured I would repost! Huge thanks to Lukijs for posting these.
Gmail, Email, and Exchange Services (Unpack this zip and install... DON'T FLASH!!)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655048183
Google Calendar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655048182
These are all from Lollipop. I have them all running on Bad Boyz Rom.
Edit: I thought these were signed because they installed just fine on my device. It would seem I was wrong. You will have to uninstall the original and install this to get it up and running in some cases.

Any way to confirm these are safe? I'm getting an error about "conflicting signature".

As far as I know they were pulled from the Lollipop build, but other than that, no. I have them installed on my device and they are running great. I think they have a conflicting sig to keep unrooted peeps from installing. you will have to uninstall the old app and install this one to get it up and running. I believe you had to do the same w/ the keyboard app too.

I installed keyboard without uninstalling (with some added .lib files). I just want to be sure before I install them.

OK, sorry it took so long to respond. Not sure why it worked for me. I did install the email app as well. What version is your Google Services. I am on 6.1.83. Make sure you install the exchange services too. Since Gmail has exchange support you will need it! Hope that helps!
Edit: I would also mention I am on Bad Boyz ROM
