Hi,
I'm running Slim ICS 4.2, with semaphore kernel.
I tried installing the 4.2 JB camera, and the photosphere didn't work. Before trying to flash the file, I did a nand backup.
Since the camera didn't work, I just restored my backup.
But now for some reason gtalk disappeared from my phone. The icon is on the home screen, but when I click it, a warning appears saying "App isn't installed".
In the app drawer, the app doesn't appear, neither in the "Apps" menu in the settings.
I've tried several things now, the most extreme of which was factory reset + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache + format /system + reinstall slim ics 4.2. Even with a fresh install, Talk wouldn't appear anywhere.
There is a "Talk.apk" in /system/app (and I didn't put it there manually). Tried installing it and it obviously doesn't let me (with the default android apk installer, I don't know if there are others out there).
Another thing I've noticed was that the chrome icon I had on the home screen changed to a little android figure (could be from semaphore). Other than that, everything seems pretty much normal.
I use gtalk a lot, so I really need this working. I don't know what else to do.
Just found out a couple more things:
- Apparently the weird icon on Chrome also happened on my girlfriend's ICS tablet, so that has nothing to do with the problem.
- Found this link: h**p://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones (I can't post links, so you have to copy/paste)
When I do ls on /system/apps, there is a "Talk.apk" there. However, when I tried removing it, it returned "No such file or directory". (screenshot attached)
Also, when I do "pm list packages", the talk package isn't there (com.google.android.talk)
After that I tried deleting "Talk.apk" through OI File Manager (the default file manager of slim) and it just fails.

Market + Google Apps keep disappearing.
For whatever reason, i cannot install Google Apps or the Market (the main one i want to restore, the rest i can just individually install, like maps).
Whilst using my phone regularly (no flashing/booting/anything like that) my market and my maps icons on the "desktop" go to the default android app icon (the white and green icon) and when i click on the links it says "Application is not installed" (using Launcherpro Beta). In system/apps both vending.apk+MarketUpdater.apk is there (so is all Google Apps).
But for whatever reason i cant access the applications through my phone. I tried flashing gapps-passion-EPE54B again and nothing comes back....
So does anyone have any ideas on whats wrong for starters, and how i could get market back?
Anyone have any ideas?
i think u missed to install google addon.. search ths article -->[ROM] CyanogenMod-5: Kang Central Station (STABLE) [05/25/2010 / 5.0.7.1] in development section
Nononono.
I had Market+Maps installed on my phone, i wasnt installing apps/flashing or anything. Then they randomly just disapeared. Now i cant make them return, with any method (flashing gapps/installing the apk)
wew... I haven’t the vaguest idea what to do.. sorry dude..
try to flash again.. wipe everything ths tym..
Yeah i reakon a wipe and reflash might work. But i would prefer not to do that (You know, everything is how i like it)
Hi,
I'm starting playing with my Nook and have some problem with Market. Each time i try downloading an application it says "Download unsessfull".
I had some problems yesterday trying to use the CWR to make backup, so it can be related..
I don't know what can be related to this so i try to remember all things i done:
- A Nook, unboxed then updated to 1.1
- Rooted using Autonooter 3.0
- At this point Market was working, ie: i downloaded go launcher ex.
- I installed Rom manager and apply cwr (choosed Nook (new), i think it was the mistake)
- rebooted to recovery, i wanted to save the system before trying to apply kernel patch (OC and better touch responsiveness)
- failed to backup the system (it say's can't mount /system)
- So i tried to reboot, it reboot back to recovery each time.
- Panic mode (i'm not linux, recovery or other underground android fluent
- I think a tried the wrong buttons : clear dalvik, i think i clicked "wipe cache partition". Don't think i tried other button, not sure..
- Light back to brain and started searching real solutions
- Wana try the 8 fail solutions, but failed to do that (i don't want to lose against nook
- I installed zip from card: clorkwork-removal
- Nook back to laucher
- At this point i installed some app from elsewhere than Market, i played a little with spare parts i think. When a tried to install from market it didn't work.
- Try to clear market app cache, doesn't change anything.
Sorry if it was a long read, but i think that maximum informations can help you to help me
Oh, Youtube don't lauch anymore too (but that was before the cwr misadventure)
Thank you,
David
ps: sorry about my english
Try using titanium backup to clear data for google framework and market. Also make sure your wireless isn't blocking any traffic. This happens to me on my work network sometimes.
if i don't have titanium (no market at all..) the clear data from google framework is similar to that (found in another thread)?
settings->applications->manage->all
finf google services framework and clear the data then force quit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i give it a try.
is it the "google apps" one in applications list?
So it is not the google apps.. i try to update the market to 2.2.6. Search works but download doesnt start at all..
anybody has can hint me about this google framework..
Double post..
I was in the same situation- I also have an NC, 1.1.0, autonootered 3.0.0 and I installed ROM Manager (v3.0.1.0) from the market and used it to install CWM 3.0.0.6 by choosing "Nook Color" rather than "Nook Color (old)" at Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I then did the reboot before rebooting into recovery and then wiped the cache and tried to wipe the Davlik cache, but every time I chose that it just went back to the same menu without doing anything. I then flashed Dalingrin's OC kernel and it seemed to work fine- SetCPU allowed me to OC up to 1100. BUT I lost access to the Market- everything I tried to install came back "Download Unsuccessful".
I finally, after much reading, removing CWM and reinstalling it 2 or 3 times etc. tried choosing "Nook Color (old)". This installed CWM 3.0.0.5 which DID let me wipe the Davlik cache and then when I installed the OC kernel it worked and I could download from the Market again.
So I would get yourself back to just a rooted nook (using clockwork removal if necessary). Then use ROM Manager to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery, but make sure to choose "Nook Color (old)". Then make sure to reboot (power off and back on you NC) and go to ROM Manager and reboot into recovery. Once there wipe the cache then go to "Advanced" and wipe the Davlik cache (I think this is the crucial part). After this I went ahead and flashed the OC kernel, but you could just reboot and hopefully you'll have access to the Market again like I did.
Good luck!

This method does still does not allow access to all the apps, only more.
Is there a chance that the google framework is missing?
I can see this framework on my phone, not on my nook.. What can i do please?
first thing tonight: i will check if GoogleServicesFramework.apk exists in system/app
Back, tonight was movie night with my girlfirend.. So i didn't played with my nook..
This morning i used rootexplorer to check if there was a GoogleServicesFramework.apk in system/app. It was not.
I tried to disable More locale app (it used to translate the devices texts in french) hope that "google framework" was baddly translated in app list..
Can someone confirm that the "google framework" i'm looking is the "GoogleServicesFramework.apk", and where is it on the nook? If missing, can i just put it with root explorer? Can the "clockwork removal" have beeing a cause on it's vanish?
Next time i have time i will try the Crispian Solution too..
Look for googleframework services in titanium backup. Select it and a little window pops up with options to uninstall and such. There is a button on the right that says wipe data. You can do the same for the Market.
As i said, googleframework service is not in titanium backup list..
I will try the CWR method asap.
grmph, tried to wipe dalvik and partition cache using working recovery.
Didn't work ..
i mean market does not work better..
Gtalk isn't working anymore too..
What if the framework service isnt listed in Manage Applications (all). This is on a rooted nook running stock 1.1.
are you telling that's normal on stock rooted nook 1.1

that's not what I am saying. I am saying I cannot install from the market and I don't even see the google framework listed under manage applications with the all filter selected
oh sorry, so you have the same problem ..
As i live in france i don't care about B&N app and shops i consider upgradding to froyo on emmc.. It will resolve my problem i think?
Possible solution
Same issue here. Color Nook v.1.1 rooted with Autonooter 3.0.0.
Market was working fine, then stopped. Returned to stock, then rerooted. Market worked for 10 apps, then stopped again. Clearing all cache did not fix. No sign of Google Services Framework in app list.
However, I found Download Manager and DownloadAdmin in the apps list and cleared the data for those (cache had already been cleared -- I used Gemini App Mgr for one-button clear-all-cache). Market is now working again.
After TRYING all kinds of suggestions, none of which work, I found one that says:
- copy all google talk service and google talk app to system/app folder
- Grant all possible privilages to them
- Restart the phone.
In what folder is google talk service and google talk app located?
How do you grant them "all privledges'?
Seems to me the last time I attempted to CUT AND PASTE a file to the system/app folder, it wouldn't let me.
This message has come up EVEN AFTER I have installed numerous ROMs.
I appreciate any help!
Did you flash stock in between flashes?. To move a file rlto system/app use adb or super manager
If I have helped press thanks.
Clean install of ROMs
Every time I flash, I go back to stock and do a Master Clear, so my flashes are clean. I use Titanium BU Pro to reinstall apps, BUT do NOT restore system data, just app data.
I'm thinking that the problem MIGHT be related to the syncing of my calendar with the google calendar I have online. Triied doing the data clear, etc....
Like I said, I've tried everything except what I posted in my first post. Problem is, I don't know where the files are located so that I can transfer them to the system folder. This seems like the only other "solution" I haven't tried at this point.
Hate to do it, but I'm thinking about going back to stock 2.2 and see if that makes a difference.
I am running Darky's Mod v9.5.XWJS28 on a rooted galaxy S GT-I9000, and SGS tools came pre-installed on it. Last night I had a look at the "upgrade stock apps" selection in SGS tools, and had a look at some of the apps. I installed the hacked camera app and the Galaxy tab E-mail app but I DID NOT install any of the launcher apps, only had a look at what each of them did. The stock launcher (touchwiz30.apk I am pretty sure it is called) worked perfectly fine after that.
Then late last night my battery ran dry. I plugged it in and charged it up, to notice that the launcher had changed to the extra one I got with Darky's Mod (so not the stock one that comes with an un-modified galaxy s). I went to "home switcher for Froyo" to find the only one showing up was the extra one (simply called "Launcher"). I was tired so I went to sleep, thinking that maybe if I restarted the phone it would fix itself.
So I woke up this morning and tried it, to no avail. I then tried downloading various Touchwiz30.apk from the internet, moving them over to my sd card and then using "My Files" to install them, but trying to do that just shows up with "application not installed" and nothing else to tell me why that is.
SGS tools also says that it backs-up the stocklauncher in sdcard/sgstools, and if I press "apply script" within the program and then "restore_launcher.txt" I will get my launcher back, but lo and behold, "apply script" works but then there is no "restore_launcher.txt". Using "My Files" to go to that folder, I find a Touchwiz30.apk in there, but checking its details, it takes up a whopping 0bytes of space!
Obviously I am going to uninstall SGStools after this, but in the mean-time how do I get my stock Home launcher back?
Possible Darky ROM solution
Hi Shi-an,
The same thing happened to me running Darky 9.5. You have probably resolved this by now but I thought I might post this for other people. Firstly, I am a novice... but I tried using "nitrality" (free version) to restore the twlauncher, which it did well. But when I the twlauncher, it force closed when I selected any apps. So Nitrality is NOT the solution for this.
To fix this I restored Darky ROM without wiping. (like a factory reset of the system area I think, but leaves your data and apps in tact.)
1. Undo lagfix using Voodoo Controls (if you use it) (as I said, I am a novice, so not sure if you need to undo lagfix when reflashing your ROM). Reboot and wait for the robot voice to take care of this for you.
2. Used Darky ROM Configurator (you probably already have it, otherwise its on the marketplace)
3. Made sure all the options I want were selected. Not wiping data is fairly important ... so make sure you don't select it unless you want to start fresh.
4. Menu, save and exit.
5. Go back into it, then menu select zip and flash.
6. Select the Darky 9.5 zip file (approx. 251mb)
The phone should restart into recovery and start reinstalling Darky ROM.
When it was all done, twlauncher works properly again.
I hope this helps someone. I take no responsibility for this... and I have assumed quite a few things, like you are running Darky ROM, with a custom rooted kernel and recovery mode which can work with Darky Configurator. I think I am on Darky Core 1.5.
Cheers.
Hi everyone,
My home button and the "swipe from the top" has disappeared since my last restart. I really have no idea what's happened and now I am using the apps called "Button Savior" to return the home screen.Maybe thid was because I have deleted some system files from system/data/data/com.android. providers.settings. I have restarted several times and it didn't work for my device.Now its really inconvenient to use the Kindle Fire HD. My current software version is 7.1.13. Could you guys help me to solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance.
maybe pull the rom in the development section and see if you can get the deleted files from it?
the only time my framework dissapeared was when i was trying to install the play store. i got it back by renaming a couple google framework apk's in the system folder and restarting...
Hi adiliyo,
How can I pull the Rom in the development section? As I have deleted many system files, I think I am in a much bigger trouble than yours.

if you can't get the individual files, maybe reflashing that rom will fix your problems
This happened to me, and some other folks. Look for a thread asking about how to view/run settings.
Anyway, some fixes mentioned were to turn off notifications for Gmail - hard to do if you can't get to settings, though.
What worked for me was to try and side-load an application - copy an APK file to the 'downloads' folder on your KFHD via a connected computer using the windows file explorer, or ADB - and then install the APK. In my case by clicking on it using a file manager. The KFHD told me that I would have to enable foreign application installs to finish the install of the side-loaded APK, and took me to that portion of settings that dealt with that. In that section was the 'Reset to Factory Defaults' button.
I pressed the reset button, and got everything back. Earlier applications (google play store) that I hadn't un-installed in an attempt to fix the problem were still there. Super User was intact. I downloaded & installed everything again, and all is working as it should be.
Until Amazon comes clean with this walking ad-server, details on how to modify it without introducing issues are going to be sketchy . It's just our lot in life, if you'll pardon. I appreciate having super user access, and all the Google apps I love to use, but what's really required is the ability to modify the boot loader. Until that's available, it's going to be try until it fails, and then scramble to recover.
Nice HW, but limited by Amazon's vision of the customers.

It works!!!! all the missing parts have come back. the Go launcher EX has saved in Cloud.
solution
download an app called my android, open the app go to my apps and find the settings app then go to device and then go to factory reset. its the only way I found to access settings when drop down didn't work. after resetting to factory my buttons all came back after doing the tooltip for startup
What worked for me on my AF tablet was to uninstall all 4 Google APK files, then uninstall the Launcher Hijack. The tablet swipe down and home button both came back for me. I then re-installed the Google APKs, but didn't re-install Launcher Hijack. Tablet works fine, functions are normal, just have to put up with seeing the default Amazon screen first before tapping the Nova Launcher icon to get to my custom screen, a minor inconvenience, and I didn't have to do a factory reset.
