Which version of Cyanogenmod? I believe with kitkat they made it to where apps can't write to the sdcard, but there is an app I used to fix it on all of my 4.4 devices. It's called Sdfix by Nextapp, I used an older version when KK came out, it appears now that they've updated it for the newer versions, but it will likely still work. Hope it's what your looking for.

JBED Java for Android

Anybody has experience installing JBED Java re: these instructions on the Nexus One?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563964
I got as far as installing everything but the Java runtime FC everytime on load.
Works fine on my Magic.
Hi olgs
I searched and tryed a lot till getting this to run.
Finally I extracted the needed files from the MoDaCo Custom Rom for Nexus One "r14 with default MoDaCo additions" and installed them with the same instructions and it works on my Nexus One with cyanogenmod
To download just search the Forum for: 27/Apr r14 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for Nexus One *Chinese Input*
The needed Files are:
system/app/Jbed.apk
system/lib/libjbedvm.so
For all others which wanted to install Jbed on an Android 2.1 devices such as the Nexus One, i think it should work as it did for me
I also uploaded the needed files but since i'm new to the forum i can't post URL's maybe i can send them via PM or else email just ask
Greez and sorry for my bad english

Can anyone tell me how to install this on my Desire HD??
I copied the two files to the root of the sdcard, installed the apk, but when I open the jded app, always facion force close process...
What is the .so file for?
First of all you need a rooted phone!
After that you need to put the files where i mentioned:
system/app/Jbed.apk
system/lib/libjbedvm.so
You can do this with some kind of root-explorer or with the android-tools on your PC via USB (command "adb push file target" or similar - google for it)
This "jbed" work on every 2.1 android phones? (SE X10i)
And after that can I install .jar/.jad files?
I had several jar games and apps from my previous symbian phone. Can I use them in SE x10 mini with jbed?
Thanks.
Hey my lib folder thats under system has only 1.35 mb free and the .so files is more, so any way i can solve this issue... any suggestions
any solution in froyo with this whole jbed stuff ?!
Its working with sbbmobile on a hero with cm6 here.
With my N1 and froyo roms its crashing all the time.
Fortunately sbb finally decided to develop an android app till march 2011.
hi guys, I'm new to Android
my phone - Samsung Galaxy 5 GT-I5503 Android 2.1
my phone is rooted
but I cannot copy those two files using File expert or AndroZip - getting errors like permission error, copying error etc... I need some help, what to do? ...
P.S - I separately installed Jbed 1.20 android 2.1 java emulator successfully but crashing after run
problem solved with root explorer....
but, screen crashes on vertical orientation...
okay with horizontal orientation though maximum apps getting FC ... any fix???
@jnightz
i think it will work on se x10 2.2 roms
i want to install app on my Samsung. how to install please.

Does Jbed HAVE to be a system app? I'm not sure that I trust all of my .jar apps.

Good point. For cm6.1 beta2, just alter the build.prop as follows:
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
and reboot.
This was not my fix, and I take no credit for it - it was in the big thread. I believe that the forthcoming beta 3 is going to have this change built-in.

I am having the same problem trying to install on full vanilla. In fact, my device will not even download the rar...it fails. I had to copy it from another device....so dumb question, i assume i just need to rename the file to apk, not unrar it?
Flash 10.1 fix
I used a RAR extractor on my windows machine then side loaded the APK into SD on system. I then used ES file explorer to find the file On the internal SD and when I opened it it gave me the option to install. Install went off without a hitch.
I have stock system with no ROM changes and I loaded launcher pro which I use instead onf TapNTap. I have now viewed many Utube video's as well as movie trailers with no problems.
Hope that helps

My apologies for not explaining more fully. I actually have the build.prop edit in place. I tried copying the flash apk to /system as well as /system/app. My problem is that I can't get it to install. Either I get an error, the program attempting the install crashes, or nothing happens.
By the way, you mention a beta 3 of CM. Any idea where I can find it? I did a quick 'net search but came up with nothing specific for the gtablet. Guess I need to plow through the megathread again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Could it be I need to fix flash prior to installing CM? I had to do that with the wifi hack before it would work. Guess I need to get another backup going just in case.
Edit (again): Never mind about Beta 3. I see in the megathread that it is in the works.
For the APK error, not sure about vanilla (never tried it). TnT Lite is 90% vanilla so I figured it should work on full stock.
I usually install with "adb install", which is how I tested it. I assumed a sideload would also work. I haven't put it in /system yet although I probably will do that when I build out TnT Lite 2.00 - that's coming next week btw, as soon as VS sends out their new firmware update and I can get my hands on it.

Yeah, the ADB install just gave me an invalid APK error so I gave up there.
I may try flashing back to stock(ish) and installing from there.

I am having the same problem as iksnae. I changed the Rom to TNT Lite 2.0.2 prior to loading the 10.1 Flash Player. I get Youtube videos and even Angry Birds but I can't get flash video from CNN or Hulu? Should I flash back to stock and then add flash. If so can someone point me to that thread?

My GTab was configured like yours. I unintalled Flash 10.1 and loaded the vanilla "out-of-the-box" Rom version. This version also had the clockwork menu so when you Flash don't panic if you see this pop up, just follow the instructions for loading the update.zip file from the /sdcard (I think it was option 2). I then side loaded Flash 10.1.apk from the PC to /sdcard and using ES File Explorer to access /sdcard, I doubled clicked on the Flash 10.1.abk to install.
Then I reinstalled TnT_Lite 2.0, flashed and then TnT_Lite 2.02 & Flashed this update.
ESPN3 works great. Also get Flash_TV from the Android Market and you now have IPTV. I am anxious to get the docking module so I can stream HDMI 1080P to my 46" LCD. No more cable, no more monthly cable bills (I do get internet 28MB/sec service).
Still looking for an optimized Nvidia Tegra 2 video media player that will take advantage of the processors embedded video encoder functions. I expect this will play HDMI 1080P movies quite nicely. Rock Player is rumored to be working on a dual core Cortex 9 version. Right now it plays using the software control option and is slow and clunky.
I believe that Flash 10.1 is optimized for the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and it is quite nice. The streaming videos play smoothly. Not sure how they will play in HD when using the docking module and the HGMI connection to the large screen.
Best of luck. It's easy once you figured out how to do the original Flash load(s).

[Q] Moving apks from my phone to the gtablet

I've given up trying to get full access to the Market. But I was able to find some of the apks on my Droid and was able to bring some of them over using a usb thumb drive. However, not all the apps I had downloaded to my Droid was visible. My question is do some apps delete their apks when done installing? I did have some that gave me a parse error when trying to install them on my tablet. Is there a hidden directory where I can find all the apks of the apps I've downloaded? e.g xplane, rush hour to name a few? Thanks. Or... is there a way to download the apk from Market to my PC directly? I'd be so happy if I could just get full access to google market!

The apks are usually in your data/apps or data/apps-private. You should be able to get to these directories using RootExplorer on your phone if its rooted. Then get yourself a free Dropbox account which allows you to transfer files to any device you installed Dropbox on.
Look in these two locations. In the second one (/mnt/asec) you'll see the folder name of the app and inside that folder is the pkg.apk so you'll probably want to rename after you move it.
/data/app
and
/mnt/asec/(name of app)
Have you tried these methods yet?

So, to the experts: do you have to be rooted to do this? I've looked in both of the locations that tcrews mentioned and don't see much, if anything. I'm using Astro FileManager, if that helps.

Astro doesn't show the files in /data and you'll need to be rooted and use something like Root Explorer. I just tried Astro and once I go in to /data I see nothing (and my phone is rooted). Using Root Explorer I see all the folders under /data and go into the folder app. I see my apps installed internally there and in /mnt/asec I see my apps installed to SDcard there.

No root neccessary to use Bluetooth File Transfer method.
I can only guess you need root for the method on the video because you do need to have an OS with GAPPS and Android market installed.
Root is needed to use Root explorer methed.
The Z4root1.2.2 app is a good tool to root without unlocking the bootloader and you can still keep your stock OS. However I'm assuming GAPPS may not work correctly with the stock TAPNTAP OS so getting full Google Android market with that OS is prolly not going to happen.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I am processing and digesting the info and playing around with the suggestions.
Thanks to sjmoreno for telling me where the apps are. And also tcrews. I would never have thought of looking in /mnt/sec. I was actually able to find the apks I was looking for... xplane. et al. Now I'm fiddling with the bluetooth transfer. Got the phone and tablet paired... connection is not working yet. But I'm still trying.
Thanks too to tekrhino for the bluetooth suggestion. Got the transfer program for my Droid. I'm learning how to use it. Seems easy to set up, but won't actually send anything... Still exploring it.
The video on the Market fix doesn't work for me because no matter what I do, Market does not show up in the running apps section of settings. It doesn't even show up in system apps. It only shows up in the downloaded section.
As they said in Galaxy Quest... "Never Give Up. Never Surrender." Thanks everyone.
I use TitaniumBackup syncing with dropbox, but really the market fix isnt hard... Running tntlite larest.
+1 for dropbox. You can also use astro to backup the apk's. They are stored in a folder named backup on the root of your SD card.
I use the program AndroZIP from the Market on my phone.
Do an application backup (part of the app) to my SDCard (it creates a app_backup folder on your SDcard)
Then, you can do bluetooth transfer, or plug phone and gTablet into PC with USB cables, wait for the drives to show up, and move the APK files over. Works well. No root required.
Since my phone is not rooted, I am not sure if this is grabing every application, but it seems to be. I was able to transfer whatever I wanted over from my phone to the tablet this way.
+1 titanium backup and dropbox.
Dropbox is handy but not necessary. Titanium is a must have purchase if you enjoy flashing new roms and don't feel like manually restoring all your apps and settings every time.
If you can download titanium to your Gtab your done. Dl titanium on your phone and backup your apps. Grab the file off your phones SD And move it to your Gtab. Open titanium on your Gtab and select the apps you want to install. You can even save app data this way and continue saved games from your phone ;-)

Make sure both devices have BTFT installed, that way you won't have any any problems with FTP OBEX protocals.
The app works great and reduces the extra steps you need to take with TB and DB with having to move apk's between the source device to your pc then from your pc to the target device. BTFT is a good source device to target device app.

First of all, it's better to go with Froyo for now. GB builds aren't quite as stable. Plus, depending on which build / ROM you used, some features might not work properly if at all.
1. AFAIK USB storage does not work yet. Get froyo or use WM
2. download, as in thru Market or just the APKs? APKs are like CABs in WM, you have to install to use
3. Again possibly problem with the build you're using
Go and get FRX06 from the Topaz Android dev section and try that out. Most things work with it (except maybe HW3D). If you're feeling adventurous, google CWM ROMs. Tiad8 made a CWM version of FRX06. Available on his site at tiad8.com
Good luck mate~

I will try froyo out now , i put gingerbread on cause i taught it was faster and optimized , thats one of the main reason i want android cause Winmo is very very laggy and i hate it .
Dude, no need to start a new thread for relatively the same issue.
Also, try to add more relevant info as in, which build you downloaded, from where, what steps you followed etc.. easier to fix that way..
Anyway, fresh start.
1. Go to this thread
2. Get the BUNDLE (first link) in post number 4
3. Unzip the file to a folder called andboot
4. copy the folder the root of your SD
5. Edit Startup.txt in the folder with the options you need, sleep mode, overclock etc (refer to same thread, post #2)
6. Run HaRET..
There's no reason why your XDAndroid wouldn't run now. Since the FRX06 bundle has just about everything for first timers. Give a try and update here if you need anything..

Application Deployment says "XAP file is invalid." and WPV XAP Deployer 2.0.0 says "Cannot read that as ZipFile". Same with current version available in store.
I have Lumia 620 with Black update and free unlock (2 apps I think).

You can't sideload XAPs from the store. Just connect one of your Skype accounts to a Microsoft account and problem solved...
You guys sideloading YouTube, right? Because there was good app. I need to use an older version of Skype whose allows me to login with my Skype creditenals instead of Microsoft one. I have found and tried "unlocked" Skype xaps with versions of 0.2.0.0, 1.0.0.0, 1.1.0.0. The most older version closes immidately after start and newer ones crashing when the cyan background appears. IM+ allows me to login with Skype but I can`t make voice calls through it.
So I need any version of Skype from 2.15.0.154 and lower that works with Lumia Black/GDR3 update. Maybe @AlvinPhilemon can help... And for sure I need non-interop version.
My point was that XAPs from the store are encrypted and thus can't be sideloaded, as you can only sideload plain unencrypted XAPs. How AlvinPhilemon obtained the unencrypted YouTube XAP is beyond me, but AFAIK the store encryption hasn't been broken yet, which leaves only the possibility of using either the XAP after it was installed (because they get decrypted after download) or taking the pre-installed one from the ROM (because those are also unencrypted).
Why is signing in with a Microsoft account such a problem for you in the first place? You need it to use most of the phone anyway, and as you've already experienced, older versions tend to have problems, so you will hardly get anything to work. And even if you do, there's always a possibility that Skype login still won't work in case MS changed something on their side.
Sadly I have no success with that
When I`m tricking a response with Fiddler, there is a c00cee3b error. I also tried to replace updated xap file on my SD card to outdated when install button is available on the SD card menu into marketplace. There is a constanly error during setup after 3/4 of the installing bar.
On interop-unlocked phones, it is possible (with some hacks) to extract the files for an app and re-build the .XAP archive. That's how the older YouTube version was resurrected.

I know. But there is also a problem with Skype xaps. Versions 0.2.0.0, 1.0.0.0 and 1.1.0.0 that I found unlocked are not working. v0.2.0.0 crashes immidately and newer ones shows cyan background before crash. There is also version 1.3.0.0 that have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string. Actual version 2.0.16.266 was "cracked" too and it also has that string.
I can`t install 1.3.0.0 and 2.0.16.266 versions on my Lumia 620 due to INTEROPSERVICES restriction and I can install 1.3.0.0 when ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string is removed but it fails to work. It also crashing after the cyan background appears. 2.0.16.266 still gave an error after no ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string but there is no reason for sideloading it - it`s available on the Marketplace and lacks of Skype account signing in support (people report that they still using their Skype account if they has been logged in in previous versions).
Give me old version of skype xap file. I'll do decrypt it.

Tried I way that @djamol send me in my PM (yes, I still hope to get an old xap working on my phone!)
If you can successful install a skype without Interop Capability, then you succeed !!!
Just follow my steps to add Interop capability again.
Move skype on the SD Card.
Remove SD Card from the phone.
Insert SD Card on PC through card reader.
Now go to an Installation directory of skype in WPSystem\Apps\{***}\Install
Delete the DRM Encrypted WMAppManifest.xml file.
Now put your decrypted.xml which is an enabled Interop Capability.

I was little skeptical because of WMAppManifest.xml file. An idea to replace it and get some good things was discussed long ago with FAIL.
But anyway I did tried his method. I had successfully replaced that file but just didn't get needed result. App still crashes after the blue background appears for a second or less. Then I tried to move an app back to internal memory and then weird thing happened. Looks like it was failed to transfer my app back with modded file and an operation stuck somewhere between. Skype has disappeared both from Internal and SD card apps list of the Data/Storage Control ("Контроль памяти" in Russian) and it`s icon on the regular app list (one with all apps listed, opens by start screen swipe) turns into grey with no logo on it. When I tried to start it there is loading... ("Загрузка..." in Russian) sign with dot animation appears. I has leaved it in that state for the whole night but nothing happens and the phone was even half-charged after it.
Finally I have found new xap "for Lumia 610" which is WP7 xap and successfully sideloaded it but it crashes after the blue background like the all I tried before. FAIL
you just cant replace files and hope for the best.
sometimes you can trick apps with changed icons but not with complete xml codepages.
WMAppManifest.xml is used at installation of the application, but not to start the application.
