My First Thread... Need help finding FiOS app

Okay, I am no longer a thread starter virgin...
I'm currently running Damage's 2.1 v5 and when I was running Flipz's Eris port I was able to download the FiOS app for control of my DVR, however since I've moved to the sprint leak, I can't find it in the market. Is this because I'm not using a verizon verison of 2.1 or more likely my protected apps aren't working right?
Anyways, I've pulled the info from both /system/app and /data/app and the only things in there was a zip that had verizon's name on it no apks that were for the FiOS app, so I signed the zip, put them on my sd card and flashed them. Nothing happed....
So, can someone running 2.1 from the Eris leak or who's protected apps work correctly get me an apk for the FiOS mobile app? It's a free download...

Just make a nandroid (nandroid+ext if you use apps2sd) and flash an eris-based rom. Download the app, and use Backup For Root Users (free from android market) to back up the app (check apk and hit "backup") then nandroid restore to the rom of your choice. Download backup for root users from the market, check apk, and hit "restore". The app is now in your app list. Hope this helped.

[Q] Can't install non market apps - bang head here

I have spent the last three hours trying to install sideloaded apps with Ghost Commander, SU Terminal app, and nothing works.
I've read through many of the threads, but can't seem to find a solution.
I'm running 1.2 manualnooter.
My husband lost the ability to access his exchange email, so I'm trying to sideload a few apps to see what works best. There will be great unhappiness in rubyland if I don't get this figured out.

install nookcolor tools and check the install non market apps box and reboot.. im sure you can find the nc tools on google via search.

Had already done the nookcolor tools check, hence my frustration..

Try installing with your SD card out. (Copy the .apk into the main memory, then eject the SD card, then try to install)

Where do I put the apk files.....Just on my SD card or is there a specific folder they go in??

New Market 3.0.26 working on Zio

Don't wait... get the new Market on your Zio NOW!!!
Google Market now offers books and streaming movie rentals with a completely new theme. It is working fine with the openZio rom. The movie rentals will not stream while rooted, but you can use Universal Androot to unroot watch a movie, then reroot when your done watching the movie. There may be some issues with Titanium Backup and market links.
<Edit> titanium backup now supports the new version of market

Thanks, nice find... now for a rom that runs with less memory and is faster.

i tried downloading and it said device not supported, and i cant open when saved to my desktop..what am i doing wrong??
my bad..figured it out

The only thing I'm still dealing with since this market update, is not being able to erase Market Search History. I've tried all the apps that worked before the update but now none of em work. Search history list is just growin. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!

This will clear your Market History.
Clear market cache and force stop market
(Settings >Applications>Manage Applications
select Market then hit Clear cache and Force stop)
Use Root Explorer and delete
"/data/data/com.android.vending/databases/suggestions.db"

Negative! I pressed, settings -applications- manage applications- all applications- market, and the cache was already 0, forced stopped, home. Then market, magnifying glass (search), and WHAM- big o list of search history. I'm not "rooted" (shouldn't have to be to clear search history). Id try the root thing but I don't know how.
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!

I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHY MARKET SEARCH HISTORY ERASER'S DONT WORK SINCE THE MKT UPDATE! Am I the only one......
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!

I think that its time for you to save some money and start paying attention
You can't use root explorer until you root your phone because its an app for rooted phones only.
1. Get the Universal ANDroot app v1.6.2 beta 5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
2. Go to the android market and download Astro file manager (free version).
3. Copy and paste the Universal ANDroot apk to the root directory of your sd card (not inside other folders) via your usb cable.
4. In Astro manager, browse for the ANDroot apk and choose 'install.' If 'unknown sources' and USB debugging are unchecked then Astro will prompt you to enable them.
You can do it manually by going to /settings/applications/unknown sources and then to /settings/applications/development/USB debugging.
5. Once the installation begins, choose 'hard root' which is for the long term. Soft root temporarily roots your phone meaning that your phone will become unrooted after a reboot.
6. After rooting successfully, you will be given 'superuser' privileges. Apps that are for rooted phones will ask for permission to install and function.
7. Once your done rooting, deselect 'unknown sources' in settings. You don't need that feature enabled anymore for security precautions. Unknown sources allows the installation of non-market apps. First know what you download.
Finished! You can unroot your phone by using the ANDroot app and to unroot.

Where did he say he wasn't rooted? I must've missed that somewhere.
XD
BTW: Titanium Backup is now fully supporting the new market.

I am sorry if I was not clear. You have to clear the cache, force stop, then delete the file. You have to be rooted to do this.
You can also wait for history cleaner to be updated to support market again

Having a rooted phone is the shiznet homie. You're missing out

Any chance of finding the updater for this version and posting it please?
On 3.0.27 please!

The official release of Android Market 3.0 on the Zio is now available.
Doesn't the ascend 2 have the market 3 release as well?

I figured out that having it on SD with link2sd was giving me FC issues big time.....

disconnect apps from market

hi there....i did not found anything about...so i want to ask:
does anyone know how to disconnect apps from market. i do not want a launcher update or a gmaps update...because of free memory problems.
want to keep gmaps 4.7 on the milestone....every version above sucks....
so if i could disconnect it...autoupdates an notifications could keeps its function
bye
greets from germany

great question, i would like to know the same thing too, I do not want to install the newest facebook updates, but the market keeps showing me updates available.
it´s more an annoyance than a problem, really - but if there IS a way to "fix" it, then I would like to know

If your device is rooted, use root explorer to pull the app's apk file from data/apps to a folder somewhere on your sd card. Then, uninstall the app, and sideload the apps you pulled out earlier. It will not have a connection to the market this way.
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App

in other words: make a copy of apk, uninstall, mv backuped apk to old place?

unfortunately, that does not work. at least it does not ALWAYS work.
because that is exactly what I already did - I hated the new Facebook app, so I downloaded the old version 1.5.2 APK from our german Android forums, and sideloaded it - but it still shows up in the Market with the red "update" text beside it.

just found something, that seems to work.
go to market, cklick update, abort download, --> disconnect
worked for me 2 times now. but i use froyo with old market...do not know if it works for the new ones.

Not move backup back into data/app, but install the apk from SD.

Titanium Backup can detach and reattach apps from the market. Do a long press on the app to get the menu with that option.

Google market/play store HELP! Running Eclipse 2.2.1

So I just flashed this rom a little while ago. I like it. Its smooth and everything BUT my google market was force closing for a little while until I cleared the data/cache. That fixed the force close.
What I am wondering here is if the google play store will update from the market like it would on a stock rom? or How do I go about getting the play store over the google market...??? Anyone else having a similar problem with it?

I don't know if this is the correct answer or not, but it is what I did. I backed up Play Store in TiBu, switched to Eclipse and restored it from there. Otherwise mine did not update automatically.

Can someone post the google play apk
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

When you open the market it should automatically update to play

first time I installed Eclipse it did not update. Second time I installed it it did. Third time it did not. Go figure.

Someone, please upload the apk

Any idea what the APK name is? I looked in system/app but nothing jumped out at me... Or maybe the following link will help?
http://androidadvices.com/download-latest-google-play-store-v3516-apk-android-device/

Never mind! I had to use Root Explorer (first app I paid for) to find it. Goes in /data/app directory. Hope that works for you...

Actually you should just take the .apk file and place it in /system/apps using root explore or es file explore granted root access. Once you place it in the /system/apps folder and replace the current one do a power down then reboot. When phone gets reboot click on new Google Play icon and agree then all done.
