Incorrect Icons In Launcher (Cyanogen Mod) - G1 Android Development

Hey guys, this is my first thread on XDA so first of all hello
I have a problem with cyanogen mod, i partitioned my card to enable apps2sd and it was fine, then i installed a theme mod of cyanogen and didnt like it so i reflashed the original mod. It has a few problems so i then done a "Wipe settings" from the recovery mode and it had odd icons on my launcher after where it was trying to load apps from the memstick that were not installed ( at least thats my guess) as they always forced close, so i then formatted the EXT3 partition to remove all apps and wiped again to make sure it was all clean. Since then i have reinstalled all my apps but some of them... thinking about it most of my "Paid" apps dont have their icons in the launcher. And they are called the same as their package name for example nesoid is called com.android. I will try attach a screenshot to this post.
I tried to search for this but couldnt find anything, anyone know a workaround for this?

Have you tried using the fix_permissions script, in recovery? Try that if you haven't yet. If that doesn't work, just reinstall your apps that do not have icons. They'll work fine after that.

Sorry for double post but i have apparantly fixed it by either updating to 4.1.4 or before i rebooted to the new update i pressed repair ext filesystem.
Either way its working now

WiFi Tether stoped working!!!

WiFi tether was working a few days ago before I had to run the Sprint RUU. I went to use it today and it keeps force closing when I touch "Start Tethering"
I have re-rooted since I loaded the RUU.
Loaded Amon RA 1.5.1 Recovery Rom
I loaded Fresh 1.0 (I think it maybe a problem here)
Any Ideas from anyone?
@K
I had the same issue with Fresh 1.0. Just google search Wireless Tether, and download v1.70 from the website, and reinstall. Have you had any voicemail issues since fresh 1.0? I no longer have a voicemail app...?
Voice mail works fine for me.
Are you sure it is missing or just doesn't have an Icon???
Nope...It is gone...No .apk, nothing...and the phone no longer prompts when new voicemails come in..as in I checked yesterday and had 16 new voicemails! Haha.
Wow. I will post my APK later and see if it will install back on yours.
Thanks bro
I can't find an APK clearly called voicemail... if anyone knows where/what this thing is called I will pull it. Otherwise I am lost. I've looked all over the phone.
Found it!!
Let me know how this works. Not sure what all Spint_Core has in it...
That is the voice mail app alright...Problem is..I get this,
What program are you using to install it? I was having the same problem and was trying to install it with app manager through astro and it wasnt working. I did it a couple times and then i found tje vm app in the /system/app folder and i tried installing it from there and astro gave me the option of using package installer and it finally installed. I still didnt get vm notifications for a couplu days but then all of a sudden it starded working yesterday
Did you do a full wipe before installing Fresh? I kept having apps missing, force close issues; everytime I changed ROMS. I narrowed in down to apps2sd. If the apps were on my phone went I added the new rom, everything went smooth, the rom would move them after boot. But if they were already there, the rom would boot up, and not seem to find the programs. The only other workaround was using astrofilemanager and doing a apk backup and restore. Now if I switch, I do a full wipe and then restore all my settings/apps. Seems to work seamless that way.
I do not have apps2SD enabled (no ext part.) because I like to help test new roms...and things can get nasty. Yes, I did a full wipe when I did 1.0...No luck..It was like one day with 1.0 it was there, then poof...no dice. I even wiped and reinstalled 1.0 and no dice.

Not enough room to update app?

I'm trying to update a LWP from the market but after it downloads it says it can't install due to 'insufficient storage'. I have roughly 45-47 apps (this includes apps, skins for better keyboard, and LWP's) after deleting a few apps and I still get this error. Any idea why? I'm holding off on going the APP2SD route until after the official 2.1 is released and our devs make it worthy of installation.
Under 'running services' it says: Avail 48mb+0.00b in 8 Other 0.00b in 4
In 'internal phone storage' it says: 19.02mb available
Currently running Fresh 2.0d
Also, does anyone know why Keepscreen from the market runs at startup? I only want to use it with Google Nav, which isn't often, and it bugs me that its in running services at every boot. If this cannot be adjusted, what similar app is out there than only runs when needed?
google nav stays up on its own for me, check the settings. And you may be out of room in the dalvik cache or the data/data section. Had that problem, so I enabled a2sd for dalvik cache, and no prob now. Running 102 apps, showing 88mb free internal storage.
Well I tried clearing cache using cachemate, cleared dalvik in recovery, and deleted 3 games bringing my available internal storage to 35mb and still can't update the LWP that has the update available.
Why isnt a2sd worthy of installation?
we had it on 1.5 with source and everything to it.
Its the same thing on 2.1, nothings changed.
The Only change would be on 1 rom that can use ext4 now.
When 2.1 is released a2sd wont be changed.
I get this error with handcent updates on fresh 2.0d also. After it errors I have to go into recovery and "fix apk uid" mismatches or i cant install it. Also i am using a2sd 2.5, Probably of no help, just sharing.
I had the same problem with 2 apps I tried to update and got out of memory errors.
I used root explorer and went to /data/data and deleted the app, after that I was able to install.

Oh its worthy, I made sure to buy a class 6 to use it. I just don't want to go through the trouble of setting it up until we get an optimized official 2.1 so I can format my card and get everything set so I don't have to make any big changes. I'm a bit burnt out from the dozen 2.1 flashes of different roms.

I just saw an update for another app and it worked, but still not the LWP. I uninstalled/reinstalled and everything is ok now. Go figure. My phone was also being really slow and a lot of processes were stalling after wiping dalvik but seems like its behaving now.

[Q] Market not working: "Download failed", tried everything.

I know that there are tons of threads about this but none of them have helped. My market just will not work. It shows it downloading, then displays the message "Download failed" for a split second and disappears.
I have an HTC Desire (BravoC/CDMA) with the latest version of CyanogenMod 7 Nightly and ClockworkMod 2.5.0.9 for recovery. I also have Firerat's Custom MTD Partition. Details and links to all these can be found in my signature.
I feel like I've tried everything. Uninstall updates, Installed latest GApps, Installed old versions of GApps, Installed leaked versions of Gapps, cleared cache, formatted device.
This has been happening since the new market website was released. It really sucks, I can't update any apps or download any new apps.
If anyone can offer any help or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Try removing SD card then try again. I had the same problem with my galaxy s I removed SD card backup on PC then I formatted it put it back in and market works perfect, don't ask me why but this worked for me
Sent from my Ideos using XDA App
a little weird thing i noticed is,if i have checked the box that allows applications to be download to the external(Apps2sd) whatever i try to download, will be resulted with Unsuccessful. When i unchecked it, my downloads were successful.
See if you have it checked.
I discovered that it was a problem with the CSC file. I had exactly the same issue with a 'mixed up' firmware. Download would not work at all from the market. Anyhow, I flashed the phone (galaxy s) with a different CSC file and the market started downloading.
the only thing I had changed was that file.
So u may want to consider that Hope this helps.
I think there is also a possibility of going to applications --> market, and then stop & clear data.
same situation here...
re-flash the rom and market won't download anything.
But it's strange that I can install apps from web market.
i know i'm at the wrong thread but could somebody help me pls with sgs gingerbread im stuck at on command where it is saying that busybox is not a valid command and thats its not recognized
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, after some time I have discovered what was causing the market issue. It was the Firerat Custom MTD Partition Mod the whole time. Apparently the new version of the market deals with downloads a little differently now and doesn't get along with Firerat's mod.
So now the waiting game begins for a new update from Firerat.
Hi,
NOt a solution, but I found a workaround for this issue on my phone.
I am using Hyperdroid GBX V8 on my HTC HD2 now. From last 2 days I was struggling with this problem. I tried all solutions I found with google. Clearning everything and Reflashing, clearing the market and caches for other apps, reflashing, unmount/mount SDCARD and so on, smaller bigger recovery partition, without EXT3/4 partition.
Still the problem exist on the phone. But I found a workaround. Logon to market.android.com using your google id and password, select the app you want to install and click install. if your phone is up and live, it will be installed in a few seconds.
In other words, pull doesnt work, but push works .
Thanks.

[Q] Using ROM: "JVU[2.3.6] SAUROM", but Apps go away after Reboot

Hi All,
I seriously read all 17 pages of SAUROM's Dev page and only found 1 other use having this issue but post has no response:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20344195&postcount=31
I also searched and most people have somewhat similar issues but not like mine where it works first time fine then upon reboot Apps disappear.
I've rooted my Infuse a long time ago and have been ROM'ing it for several months now. I've changed several ROMs and some have lots of pieces I love but has issues with something I really need (like bluetooth).
So I gave SAUROM 'One rom to rule em all' a shot. I actually really am impressed upon initial Flash. I made lots of changes, and then lost root/SU, then found SU-fix and applied. It worked for about one day then when I reboot my Apps (including Market) were dimmed-out. So I tried to search but no decent threads.
I thought perhaps another Flash of the ROM would fix, but same issue, then thought perhaps a kernel change so I did that too.
But I just did it again and during first boot everything looks good, I make changes add my gmail acct, use some Apps (actually last time I used Supercharger and installed busybox) but even prior to this it was doing the same thing. Then thinking perhaps it might have fixed it, rebooted and still same thing.
Is there any *.zip or setting that perhaps I can check to fix this? Some script that may help to check where this issue lies? How about fstab file that I can check and edit to fix this??
This happens every time I reboot! I installed apps last night and actually held off posting this, then this morning I rebooted and Apps disappear again (even Play Store).

First thanks for the response bigfau!
I have checked this to see if this option would be a good way to resolve my issue but weird thing is that these dimmed-out apps that appear to be on my sdcard actually go away. If they were truly installed on sdcard like SS above says, then I should be able to:
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > On SD Card >
Select App > "Move to phone" but they're not there, only XDA Premium . (attached SS)
After a reboot, I have to go to My Files, App_Manager > App_Backup > user_apps > Re-install My Apps again. But any reboot puts me back at square one.
1. Uninstall and install your launcher app (don't restore)
2. Wipe your dalvik cache (if rooted)
Try this and let me know if that helps.

*Thanks, your response makes sense as I remember TWLauncher errors with this ROM and think yes my Launcher is the culprit.
Ive been trying to Uninstall and install a launcher (which I thought would be relatively simple).
1. I downloaded/installed 2 different Launchers (Launcher Pro & Go Launcher Ex) from Play Store.
2. Downloaded TW4Manager.apk, tw4key.zip, and ShareApp.apk (for TWLauncer 4.5).
3. Moved TouchWiz30Launcher.apk out of system/apps/ and backed up *just in case*, then rebooted into Recovery and Wiped Dalvik Cache.
When it was booting, it stayed on the Galaxy S boot animation screen for the longest and never booted.
I decided to attempt to Flash Saurom again, (wipe user data, which cache, wipe Dalvik Cache, install ROM zip) and I'm trying again.
But seems like I got some weird chicken/egg thing going on. I can only install apps while booted or phone is on.
Did i do something incorrect?

Isn't this how it works? I am not sure how you would install apps when the phone is turned off? Or do you mean screen on?

Hi diablo009,
Sorry what I was referring to was that it seems yes I can install Apps while phone is on, but they're only available during that time (after installed). Its like they are in RAM and lose them if I shutdown or reboot.
I'm sure it's not the ROM I used as stated in the Title because I've recently done lots of testing on my phone. I again Re-flashed the ROM again doing:
1. Wipe user data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache, install ROM .zip.
2. Run Su-fix su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
*Ive tried this with and without reboot in between 1 & 2.
Still same symptoms, loads first time fine. Runs setup, is rooted, can install Apps, then upon reboot they're gone.
So I said okay let's test out another ROM to see if same results, and so yesterday I changed to GamerzRom v8.1, then upped to 9.0 and same results with Apps.
I've used different kernel's (DD_03042012.zip & kernel-2011-11-27.12-40.zip), used diff ROMs, and have also attempted to get back to Stock either by using:
-SGH-I997_UCLB3_INFUSE.zip (I guess this is Stock with Root & couple more things)
-Get back to Stock ROM by using Download-Mode and SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar
After either of these, attempt to re-flash and see if problems go away but they haven't.
Weird thing is sometimes I lose SU/Root sometimes I don't. I'm sure it's something I've done to my phone or the filesystem which is why I'd like to be able to check it out, like fstab, mtab (if there's one), permissions or something else but I'm not sure what to look for =/
Thoughts or other areas I can check?
A checklist would be awesome right now if I could find one....
Backup the data you have on your internal/external SD cards, and format them please. And try to install an app, reboot, and let me know if the issue is still present.
SD
I had the same issue. I blamed it on a bad SD card. I removed the SD card all together and never had the problem since. I only had the stock 2gb card in there so it was not worth the hassle.

This is what even I am suspecting now. So only wanted him to format both internal and external. And this one reason I recommend no less than class 6 cards for phones, preferably class 10.
---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------
1. Clean wipe and ROM install
2. Clean wipe with a different ROM
3. Clear dalvik cache and cache
4. Wipe data for launcher
5. Fresh install of launcher
6. Fresh install of apps and no restoring with TiBu
7. Formatting internal and external memory
8. Take out external memory
9. Change external SD card
There's your checklist, as far as I can think of. And I have marked in green the options you said you have tried.
Hi, you just have to replace the file vold. Fstab and place it on /system /etc
Pm with your mail and I will send to you b/c I have it with me but don't know how to upload here
The file is suppose to say that the apps must stay on the sdcard..
Qkster explain that to me very well, if I were you, I look in his roms thread..
Let me see

Okay glad to report this has helped me! Not sure if the scard (internal/external) was bad or getting full or what but here's what I did:
1. Copied all my data (sdcard [int/ext]) to PC.
2. Format scard: Settings > SD Card/Storage > Unmount SD Card > Format
*Did this for both SDCard & USB Storage
Result in "Lady voice on partioning boot mesg, (basically inoperable phone).
*My fault because I didn't need to do USB storage? Should I have done both SDCard & USB Storage? Either way I think i wanted to restart from scratch with factory type reset/stock ROM.
3. Boot Download-Mode and ROM using: SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar
4. Root phone and tried to Re-flash with custom ROM (Saurom) but need CWM recovery. CWM was in blue-mode, needed Green or Red to flash ROM.
5. Downloading SGS Kernel flasher and flashing it with Entropy's DD
For this I used: DD_03042012.zip, but for me I noticed Market and Maps were "dimmed" out and thought I'm back to square one!
Dunno if this was coincidence or something I did to cause this or what but I think it's important to note because issue seemed to reappear.
I changed the kernel to: kernel-2011-11-27.12-40.zip and dimmed Market/Maps went away.
6. Booted in Recovery, wipe user data/wipe cache/ wipe Dalvik cache, Flash ROM: JVU[2.3.6] SAUROM
7. Booted up, went through SetupWizard, then realized lost Root.
8. Run Su-fix su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
9. Boot phone, verified Root, installed some Apps, and rebooted & Power-Off over 10 times.
All looks good now!
So far its looking like my issue went away!
@OP: This happens many times when the android data files on the external SD get corrupted. And happy to know your issue is resolved

[Solved] Homescreen Wallpaper Reset

After updating my Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) to 5.1.1, the homescreen wallpaper always resets to the stock Samsung WP every after reboot. I use themes downloaded from the Theme Store. Everything else remains applied (lockscreen WP, icons, etc.) Anyone have an idea to fix it? Thanks.
it may seem weird, but just simply uninstall facebook or disable it, reboot then update it again.

Thanks for the hint, but i tried it and failed. It still went back to stock.
Solved!
I've solved the problem, although I don't know which step did solve it.
Things I did:
Uninstalled/disabled some apps and deleted some files to free up space (my memory was nearly full)
Switched to the default theme and uninstalled all other downloaded themes
Wiped cache in settings>storage
Rebooted, downloaded a new theme and applied it
Wiped cache again and reboot
Wallpaper from theme is still there Yey!
Special thanks to @Justinhopaolo for helping me out
