I am running a (rooted) KL7 (Bought from Amazon - German? ) and I am getting an error with the Market when I try to purchase an app. "An error occurred. Please try again". I live in the US - is this an issue with the region?
How can I attempt to fix this? I did find I could by the app from another device, such as my Verizon Nexus, and it would then recognize the purchase on the Note and then allow me to download it, but I would prefer to be able to buy directly on the Note if at all possible.
Thanks, please advise.

Please tell us the ROM(Custom/Stock etc) you are on.
Many users in certain region face this problem.
Easiest fix is to copy an older vending.apk to your system/apps
Cheers
Root, download "Market Enabler" in the market and make sure it's identifying you as in the USA.
Did not work
Thanks, but Market Enabler did not work. I was already rooted, so I tried selecting T-Mobile USA and AT&T USA, but neither seem to work.
I guess the next step is to try a vending.apk from an older build as the earlier poster suggested?
Thanks, please advise.

Replace this in your system/apps folder. Take a backup of the older vending.apk just in case.

Does that vending.apk work for you?
I tried to install the vending.apk you provided, and it installed successfully, but I am still unable to purchase apps. Does it work for you on KL7?
Thanks, just stuck at the moment.

Yeah it works.Dont install it like a normal apk.Do this.
1.Clear market data.Cache and stuff.
2.Go to a root explorer and browse to /system/app (note: you need a root explorer and mount /system as writable)
3. Here you will find a vending.apk. Take a backup of it. Now copy the vending.apk i provided earlier into this folder.
Once you have overwritten the file reboot and give it a try.

Do you have an older rom where you were able to buy apps?
That way you can extract the vending.apk from the older rom and inject it into the newer one(i.e. /system/app).
Another thing i would like to ask is do you have the correct CSC installed on your device?
Further as a last resort also make sure to delete/clear cache data for the market.
Hope that helps.

CSC is Country sale code. It contains region specific info like network etc.
Look at this link to identify the correct CSC code for your region. -->http://www.box23.org/pub/7500/misc/html/lettercodes.htm (Look at the 3-letter section under "Samsung Official Letter Code").
Once you have identified your correct CSC go to dialer and type this : *#272*{your imei number goes here}# (excluding the curly braces of course).
Amongst the list select your correct CSC that you had identified in the earlier step and press "Install" (Note: This will reset stuff and you will need to reconfigure stuff).
Also make sure that you have flashed a MULTI-CSC ROM or else you may not be able to see your regional CSC.
In case that happens don't worry do this:
1. Get hold of an old ROM update package. Open it up and browse to /system/csc
2. Copy your regional CSC folders from that archive to your phone SD card.
3. Dive into a root explorer on the phone (make sure 'system' is mounted as writable) and copy those folders you have in Step-2 to your phones /system/csc
4. Dial *#272*{your imei number goes here}# and install your CSC.
Hope that helped.
Cheers.

You are welcome my friend.
I would suggest you try this.
1. Change the CSC to your particular region.
2. Go to Settings--Manage Applications and select 'Market' and clear cache data and stuff.
3. Try to buy apps
4. If step 3 fails then i would suggest you replace the vending.apk in your /system/app
Hope your issue gets resolved.
Edit: Attached is an older version of market. I suggest you give this a shot first(replace it in /system/app)

1. You are rooted
2. You are using Root explorer
3. You mounted 'system' as writable (this option will be under settings for most root explorers.)
I hope your answer is yes to all of the above.
PS: I have attached another version of vending.apk in my previous post. Maybe you can give that a shot too.

I am rooted,
using root exp,
when I am at main director, yes it is, "rootfs(r/w)" and next to it in a button "remount as R/O" written,
when I enter the system,on the top left side written " /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 (r/o)" and next to it in a button "remount R/W" written. I am clicking R/W but no thing changes.

This is a pretty easy process. I went in to Root Explorer - dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db to my sd card, edited it on my pc with a db editor changed 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. Copied it back to the original directory, rebooted and installed a non market app.
Please use caution. If you want to make sure the db save properly open it on your sd card before you copy and replace the original. It should open up as a readable table. If it opens up in a txt editor its corrupt. This permanently enables non market apps. You can not toggle it on and off.
I will try and post pictures soon.

Does it mean th after this you are able to install any 3rd party application with no restrictions?
Thanks
You can actually do it through firefox too. There's a firefox addon called 'SQLite manager' that you can use to edit the file, if you don't want to download a separate program.
Root Explorer is the pay program on the market? Any free alternitives?
Are you just trying to install non-market apps on the Captivate? If so, then just download the usb driver for the Captivate and then Droid Explorer (may also need SDK installed; not sure). With Droid Explorer, you can easily load non-market apps within seconds. Good solution for a non tech guy like me.
Being brand spanking new to Android, still have question. I like very specific instructions.
Do you download files to whatever directory you want to make and put the files in? Then is there an option to select, and do install? My background is WinMO, so on that you can just use a file explorer and double click or tap, and it installs.

PDA Net will work without rooting. Just put your phone on airplane mode and enable wifi. Go to the market and download it. Once it is downloaded you can turn off airplane mode and you're good to go.

Where do you see the 0, the one you recommend to change to a 1? I only see lots of squares.
So... Thank you so much for this info. I downloaded your file and put it into the correct DIR and have non market apps installing with no problem. However I can not get Titanium backup to work correctly. =/ When I try to restore an app it says installing and I have to force close titanium to get it to stop. Probably about half the apps I try and do this for install the other backups do not. Is any one else having any issues like this or know how to fix it?

When into this dir dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings and cant find any files. Using linda

connect to the settings.db file, on the left side click Tables, and then click Secure. It will show a grid on the right with _id, name, value etc. Click the Data tab, in the search box type market. And there should be only one value that shows up as "install_nonmarket_apps". Set the value to one. Refersh it and then copy it back to your phone.

Hey guys, just starting some to theme some system apps for an upcoming project of mine (unityMOD, basically trying to bring some unity, in this case dark blacks, to the OS to match the hardware etc) and I thought some people might like to see my Camera.apk theme.
I always found the weird grey and black speckled background weird, so I changed it to black and changed a few buttons, outlines etc. I think it looks quite nice personally, so I thought I'd just share it

Installation has been tried, and works perfectly, via adb push:
Code:
adb push Camera.apk /system/app/Camera.apk
OK, here's the update.zip's. I have tested the CM7Camera.zip (I use CM7 obviously) but haven't had time to test the other one, so if anyone could just let me know how it goes, that would be appreciated.
Place the required .zip file (CM7 or Stock/Axura) on your SD Card storage
Boot into CWM Recovery
Use volume buttons to select 'install zip from sdcard' and power to select
Use volume and power to select 'choose zip from sdcard'
Find the .zip file you placed earlier
Using volume and power, select 'Yes - Install xxx.zip'
Reboot, and you're done!
Downloads
[CM7]
Camera.apk
CM7Camera.zip
[Stock/Axura/MoDaCo - thanks Master]
CameraGoogle.apk
StockAxuraCameraGoogle.zip
Masterâ„¢ has made a white version of this, available here
Notes
[CM7 Based ROMs] If you are having troubles actually seeing the changes after successfully applying Camera.apk, make sure you are using the System theme in Theme Chooser.
[General] If you are having issues, check and see if you are using the correct download version. Stock ROMs and Axura use CameraGoogle.apk and CM7 (possibly others?) use Camera.apk. I will try and make this irrelevant in my update.zip, but for now just take note.
I'm using Axura 1.1.2.0 and the camera app just FC's.
Probably because of the ROM.
I'll try tomorrow sometime when I load up CM7 or something.
Looks fantastic, though!
I love simple black on this phone. It is absolutely gorgeous.

I've never tried it personally, but you could test it for me if you want
If that doesn't work though don't worry, I have a copy of stock camera to restore if you need.
I can't see why not though, ill see if it works with root enabled ES in a minute.
Edit: ES doesn't seem to like performing operations from /system even with the root option, so just as a test, copy your current Camera.apk to somewhere safe, then delete the one in /system/app. If it lets you, then you should be right to just move my themed Camera.apk in its place.

use root explorer to install apk
1. get the XXX.apk to sdcard
2. open root explorer
3. find the XXX.apk you are wanting to install
4. long press the XXX.apk file and choose copy options (you will see the paste and cancel boxes at bottom of screen)
5. back out to system/app/XXX.apk and paste file
6. long press XXX.apk and change permissions.
These should be checked: (1)User/read, (2)Group/read, (3)Others/read and (4)User/Write
If you get this WARNING. You cannot paste here because the file is read-only. this is ok. Look to the top of screen and you will see line like this. 124.24 used, 379.70mb free r/o [Mount R/W]. Tap the [Mount R/W] colored box so it shows [Mount R/O]. Now try the the paste and the change permission process. When done reboot.

To keep it simple. Check the permission of another app in the system/app files. The permissions are all the same.

I used root explorer daily when I was flashing nightly builds and this is the way I install boot animations and framework.apk etc. It may be missing one step in the install precess.
I edited my post earlier for in hope the permissions checks are clearer to the readers.
I don't flash gapps anymore when on cm rom. I install the themed market, I like this, and go from there. I am confident in the process.

I use a camera apk that is totally blacked out. I just installed the op's camera apk. It installed. This one and the camera button, picture viewer and video images all have a greyed ring around them.
Can u please make it to where we can flash it?
Hello everyone. I just bought my phone 3 months ago, and i'm little tired of stock rom, because of some lag and bugs it have. So i decided to flash some CM7. Really don't know anything about flashing and rooting. Was reading some threads on this forum, but there's so many information that at the end decided to create my own thread. Hope someone will have a little bit of time and reply it.

Model: LG-P990
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: 1035.21_20110725 (what is that?)
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: GRJ22
LGE Version: LGP990-V20a
1. So first of all i would like to make a backup, so if something went wrong i could recovery my phone. Maybe you could suggest some not very difficult tool for that.
2. What should i do next, wipe, root, flash, kernel rewrite? Maybe someone could link me or write how to do it step by step.
3. Which rom and kernel to use? What are difference between them (kernels and roms)? I prefer battery life > bugs > speed > customization.
P.s. I really don't know much about doing what i just wrote, please don't be mad Thank you for your help.
First of all you should root your device, this is generally the first thing to do. I believe I used super one click for this, here is a guide for doing so: http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-lg-optimus-2x-p990-tutorial/ also there are some guides here around on xda where you will be able to follow a step by step tutorial for rooting
For easy backup I would recommend Titanium backup. Search for it on the market it will show up there furthermore you should always backup your phone through clockwork mod recovery. Clockwork mod is an app you install after rooting and you access recovery by flashing recovery and then booting into it. It is also from here you will be "flashing" your custom rom of choice
So in a step by step tutorial here's what to do:
1. Rooting
plenty of guides are found on this lg optimus 2x forum with links and guides as for how to root your phone. Afterwards you should check if it was done properly, you can do this with root checker simply download it from the market and check it
2. Downloading your custom rom:
Next step is to download your custom rom and throw it onto your phones SD-card.
You can choose anything you like but I would recommend the build in my sig link is here
now for kernels, you don't really need any :b you will be perfectly fine with whatever you already have here But if you do want to flash a custom kernel aswell it is virtually the same as flashing a custom rom
3. Make a backup of your phones apps and contacts:
Making backups is really easy, just download titanium backup from the market to backup your apps and backup your contacts through the phones built in adress book.
4. Boot your phone into recovery:
This is how it looks:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First of all, install rom manager this is an app found in the market just search for it and it will be there. Next use the app to flash clockworkmod recovery (yes thats the top button in the app :b). Then when this is done reboot into recovery. When here your phones screen will not be used to navigate, instead use your volume rockers to navigate and the power button to select.
When here you should make a nand-backup of your phone, this is basically a backup of everything on your phone and it can be used to restore your phone should anything go wrong here
This is somewhat like what your recovery would look like:
From here choose "backup/restore" and here choose backup. Now your phone will make a backup
Also before flashin you will have to choose both of the following options:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache
5. Flash your rom (and custom kernel):
Now, finally, you will see some improvements :b Still navigating ClockworkMod recovery choose install zip from sd card, then find your rom and choose it. Now the flashing begins and your phone will do this for some time, once done reboot your phone and you're done!
GL and HF, i hope this helped you
1. First you need to root your phone. Rooting your phone won't erase your data. Use this guide to root your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
This method works flawlessly and is really easy!
After rooting, you can check if it worked, by looking for the Superuser app in your app drawer, or download the root checker app and check for yourself.
Also, after you rooted your phone, you need to install the following apps: Rom Manager and Titanium Backup. With Titanium Backup, you can backup all your apps and restore them. Consider buying this app, because it's really worth the extra money. Use any SMS/Contacts backup app to backup your contacts. (Don't forget to grant Titanium Backup Superuser access)
Afterwards, you open Rom Manager (again give this app also superuser access) and select the option flash recovery. Clockworkmod recovery mode is just a system which allows you to flash custom roms and kernels. Make sure you flash the O2X recovery and not the G2X, because you have a P990. Clockworkmod Recovery version 5.0.2.0 is good enough. You can enter recovery mode with ROM Manager or reboot into it. When your phone is off, you can boot into recovery manually by holding the power and volume down button until you see the second LG bootscreen with the blueish background.
2. First you need to download the following things and put them on your SD card:
- Any ROM (Cyanogenmod 7 or 9)
- Any kernel (Cyanogenmod Kernel for CM7 or CM9)
- Google Apps (for Gingerbread or Ice cream sandwich)
Afterwards, boot into recovery mode. You can navigate through the menus with the volume buttons and the power button. Also I would recommend you to make a backup of your current LG rom in recovery mode. (Backup/Restore - Backup - Yes) Keep this backup if you ever need to return your phone to stock in order to send it to LG.
In recovery mode choose the option:
- wipe data/factory reset
This option won't erase your root, only your current ROM and apps (but you should have made a backup by then)
After this is done, choose the option:
- wipe cache
This option is necessary in order to flash a rom
Then select the following option:
- install zip from sdcard
Browse through your sdcard and first install the rom. After this is done, install another zip and install the Google Apps package. This package includes the Android Market. Afterwards, you could install another zip, which is the kernel, but this is optional. Obviously you need to find the kernel zip and install it.
After installing all this you should be done and you should select reboot system. This will reboot your phone normally into the rom. Note that the first boot in a new rom always takes some time.
3 I would advise the combination in my signature. This combination is very smooth and fast.
Hope this helped!
Gosh this community is so helpful
Thank you so much!

You can put the rom zip file on your internal SD card. (the one of 5.5 GB) And then access it with CWM. So, yeah it's possible.

The thanks meter is a great motivator for people who like to help, so I like encouraging its use
Also... I'll probably be visiting Amsterdam (again) this summer, we should smoke one together if you're around
Adding files ICS
How can I add files to my phone while on ICS 4.0.4 (Nova HD)???
On stock gingerbread it worked but now i can't add any files. It shows internal storage and then no folders or files.

One problem though, I'm kinda under age... and I don't think my parents, nor the Dutch government would allow me smoking...
Anyway, Amsterdam is a great place to visit, so smoke some, and have fun over there!

Nope I don't think so, many people are having the same problem. What you can do is to put your sd-card in a card reader and add files through there. That's what I do anyways :b
EDIT::
Have you checked if you have the correct drivers installed? go check in the device manager and if it says that no drivers are installed (or no correct drivers, anyways) try and install them automatically. This worked for me
Umm, I'm quite new here, so I don't exactly know how it works, but shouldn't this thread (post #3 especially) be "Sticky"?
Cause when I started to root/flash my O2x this all-in-1 post could save me a lot of time.. There is quite everything you need when you know nothing about changing a rom. And if there is something missing, you know what you need to search for, right?

Yes it should, but the truth is, this process is basically the same for every android phone out there, the only difference is the rom you choose really. I'm pretty sure there is an even more detailed guide somewhere out there
Thank you for help everyone, u helped me alot.
I just installed custom kernel/rom.
Rom: temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD RC1-85
Kernel: [CM7/MIUI Kernel][KANG][APR02] ETaNa with Spica (c) OTF ToolKit
When i installed all this, i missed Google Play and account sync, so i downloaded some "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and installed with Rom Manager. I don't know why, but google play crashes very very often. Maybe i did something wrong?
And how the hell should i select ringtone from my SDcard? Because when i click Phone Ring tone theres only some main ringtones and no "select from" options.
Oh and the last one, why the hell drawer is so lagy? Because of inscripted ADW? It's very anoying.
Thanks again.

You've done something wrong when flashing temasek's kang, I get google play immediately, don't need to flash gapps and it doesn't crash, I would do a full wipe and reflash if I were you.
To select ringtones you will have a folder in your sdcard media -> audio -> ringtones. You have to put the desired ringtones in that folder.
My drawer is also laggy. Just put the apps you use in your home screens and don't use it
Hope I helped! Cheers!

Hmmm theres no such a folder called media in my sdcard. And when i create it and move mp3 file to it it doesnt appear in ringtone selection. Do i need to restart my phone when i move ringtones to that folder?
When i was flashing new rom i did that. First i made a recovery, then wiped my phone, then clicked install zip from SD card and clicked my rom file. It said that flashing was successful. Then did the same for kernel. And finally rebooted my phone. Everything went well, phone turned on, no errors .. nothing. I installed latest version of that rom, i linked it before.
It seems google play not crashing anymore, i dont know why, but it works. I didnt do anything. Other problem appeared. When i installed GAPPS, Car Home app was installed. I removed it with Titanium Backup successfully. But sometimes in my bottom bar (where clock, battery and other stuff are), it appears. When i slide that bar down it says click to close Car Home. Its very anoying. I tried to look with root explorer for that app in my phone, no clue. How the hell should i remove it? Because i cant find it anywhere. Thanks
I have JB XXLPZ and changed provider today.
From the documentation from the provider I need to set things via the simtoolkit. I don't see the icon and can't find it anywhere?
Also I have the phone rooted and am running the TZ 3.5 kernel.
Any hints or tips?

Install SD Maid app, press left soft button and go to settings of that app. Check "Include system packeges?". Go back, then go to tab APPCONTROL. Refrash it, then search for stk. Press on it, and tap on Start application.

I installed it, but it doesn't show up in the list.
Also original rooted kernel didn't make a change.
When I use ES file-explorer and go to the /system/app folder I see a stk.apk and stk.odex
I was now able to install the stk, but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. Installed size is 0KB.

Reboot. You pushed this file? And did remove previous apk and odex file of it?
P.S. If you really need that app to open do this:
1. Make backup in CWM.
2. Flash stock FW with Odin. And do factory reset. Or try with factory reset first, without flashing JB with Odin again, if that do not help, then flash FW.
3. Use app for your needs
4. Root phone again
5. Install TZ 3.5
6. Restore your backup.

I removed the previous two files and copied the one you supplied in it's place.
Ran sd-mail and was able to find the stk app. Unable to run it though.
Then reboot.
After the reboot the sd-maid app was unable to find the stk application like the original ones.

Simcard gets updated.
If you know any app that can do the following then I'm all ears
Thanks and I'll update tomorrow!

Solved!
The provider said that my simcard didn't need to be changed because it was of the newer type. So the sim toolkit was not being able to run because it detected the newer type.
Then I explained that I still had no internet. She talked me throug all the settings and they were fiine. On their website there are numerous samples per phone on how to setup this manually.
Is seems that the settings defer for some phones. They told me I had to type "internet" in the access type section while it had to be "default" what I found out by checking the phone of my wife. She has the same provider.
After changing I had my dataconnection.
Thanks for thinking with me!

I had previously found the S voice APK on Google, they never worked, always CTD on start, just had the idea to make it a system app and it worked so happy, happy. 2nd I am not looking for the AT&T app I want the Samsung car mode app, which is not on the playstore and I assume is hidden on the Galaxy store like the S voice app.

Install a launcher, Nova or Apex both work. Add a shortcut (system shortcut not apps) choose a setting short cut and look for Drive Mode. It also gives you the option to use Download Booster. Which AT&T has removed.
The drive mode is present in your phone, its only hidden cuz they want you to use their AT&T drive mode. Samsung one still exists! Hope this helps.
Are you running an S5, I am using a custom rom for my 900A, it lacks this function though even the nandroid backup lacks the required apk

Okay, here are the files from the /system/ directory of my own S5. Mine is the Sprint variant, however I'm confident that they're the same...
You CAN NOT flash this .zip in recovery, you must extract the contents and copy to the appropriate directories in the system partition.
Remember after you put them there, you must change the permissions for the folders and the files:
__________/rwxr-xr-x/ rw--r--r
/system/app/DriveLink/DriveLink.apk

No, you dont do that....
you do exactly what i explained....
download the .zip,
extract the contents to SD Card, (or ANY Download folder),
Once extracted, you will have simple directory, starting with "system/",
[ Now, you simply go thru the folders, and copy them from where you extracted them and paste into same folders in your phonephone's "system/" partition....]
Basically;
if you copy it from /system/app/DriveLink/DriveLink.apk on your SD Card,
Then you paste it to /system/app/DriveLink/DriveLink.apk on your phone...
Change permissions as i indicated earlier, as you copy each one,
When all are done, reboot. ..
[While booting back up a message will say something like
"Optimizing Application 1 of 3..."
thats a good sign that you did it right. ...]

Then you paste it to /system/app/DriveLink/DriveLink.apk on your phone...
Change permissions as i indicated earlier, as you copy each one,
When all are done, reboot. ..
[While booting back up a message will say something like
"Optimizing Application 1 of 3..."
thats a good sign that you did it right. ...]

Hi, thanks for the explanation, but I'm really new at this, and I need this application.
I do not understand, "Change permissions as I indicated earlier, as each copy"
that you mean this?, the only thing I see is that button "r-w and r-o" or you mean super user permissions?
------------read---------write---------execute
---owner--x-------------- x--------------
----group--x--------------x-------------
----Other--x------------- x------------
----set uid-----------set gid-------r sticky
hello ... when given permission to DriveLink, and drivelinkremote,
at 2 give them permission, but I did this to see if this well in owner, group, others, check all run.
restart, and indeed was installed when lit, but when I want to open, do not find in menu, and the car mode toggle of the active,
I get that you can not open out "car stopped mode"
Do you mean that the app is force-closing when it tries to open after toggling the 'car mode' quicksetting?

okay, hopefully this will answer any questions you have had or would have had...
I know its a little messy, but bear with me, I've never done a Screen Recording before...
Just read the instructions i posted above, watch the videos, and if you still dont get it, read and watch again...
remember to put things in the same folder paths you pull the from (the main difference between the two videos), etc...
Once all are done, reboot....
