Has anyone tried to install HTC's music app onto a HTC magic? I only discovered there was another music player a few days ago and I would really like to use it on my magic.
Also, my Magic is not rooted. (Apparently it has a 'perfect SPL' and I dont have a spare SD to make a goldcard )
Thanks!
This is already covered. You need ROOT to either install a custom ROM with HTC's Framework or use a modified build.prop and use the HtcMusic.apk from the MyTouch Fender dump.
Ok, since not everyone is using CM6 on an EVO I thought I'd share this outside that thread.
This should allow the Market to show the missing (protected) apps on Froyo. I've implemented it for the Gapps FRF91 Hdpi pack for now. Any HDPI Devices with deodexed Roms using this should work with this fix. It may work with other HDPI releases, but I've only tested it on FRF91 w/ CM6.
Wipe Market Data/Cache......Settings>>Applications>>Manage Apps>>ALL>>Market
Reboot Recovery
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Flash "MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi.zip"
Reboot
Accept Market Terms
On the off chance this borks your Market, just reflash your rom or the the Gapps pack.
If any other Froyo Markets have this problem, it shouldn't be too hard to implement the same fix.

If it doesn't work with your device/rom please specify both so that it will be easier to diagnose.
Big thanks to kallt_kaffe for leading me in the right direction.
It could be I've done something wrong, but this isn't working for me using Sapphire 0.7.0 (from droid-life) on my Droid (the original ). I've tried 2x (especially after finding where to do the dalvik cache wipe in clockwork) with installing it as an update.zip and just installing it as-is. I've been testing by trying to get comic strips back installed on my phone and app brain keeps telling me that mileage has an update though my phone doesn't agree.
I looks like that is using a different Google Apps version. I'll dl and try to patch it for you.
Here, give this a shot. Should work for all FRF84B Builds.
I don't have a device to test on, but this should do it.
does this work with g1 32b cm6
I'm not sure. I'd guess the g1 is an mdpi device though. If the mdpi market is locked (didn't think it was), I could apply the same fix. Also, is this for cdma or gsm?
Hi.
Great work!!!
I got it working with the MDPI version.
I just copied classes.dex from your fix to cyanogen's gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3.zip and I got Market unlocked.
If it's ok, can you share your secret/patch technique?
Did not appear to work for Acer Liquid Froyo. Still have problems accessing certain apps that I used in 2.1 ( AutoHTN Beta for example), APPBrain sees the app, but can not access it through the market.
Hi there
What about Android 2.1.1?
my phone is Motorola XT720, anything for that?
also, How do you "Flash" the application in recovery mode
any way i can do this using adb?
thanks

Galaxy S I9000 froyo 2.2
Hi,
I have the galaxy S, Froyo 2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
[email protected]_7_2#1306
Build Number: FROYO.JHJPD
I've tried to flash the both files that were posted here without any success,
and i can't find anything that will make the android market free.
Please help....
Question??
Do anyone know if this .apk works with Huawei IDEOS U8150-D??
(On custom rom based in Wind italy rom)
Hey guys,
i have a wiered problem, since i did my last sbf-flash, apps keep remaining on the fresh system after i do a nandroid-backup.
So this is what i do:
1) sbf a standart 2.1 rom
2) nandroid Dexters 2.2.1
3) i have all apps back in the rom which i had BEFORE the sbf-flash...
How is that even possible?? For my Understanding sbf-flashing means a complete overwriting of all data on the rom...
Also i didn't sign in to my google-account, so that can't be it either...
Anyone got some ideas??
Greets,
**Jürgen**
ext partition on your sdcard?
Jap, but not in use
**edit**
Oh, that seems to be it... everythings back to stock... but why?? I didn't enable a2sd for apps to ext or such...
Sorry, but that was the (!) reason why we wanted so badly Froyo! To be able to do A2SD!
If you have an sd-ext/app folder just rename it to whatever and you should be fine. Or delete it before flashing if this is possible ....
IIRC what was happening here the last year
Milestone XT720 - CM6.3.0 RC3
Nah, i wanted Froyo because of the Jitter. That was a major boost in speed. Apps2SD was never interesting for me, the internal memory was enough for my useage.
Swap-Support wasn't bad, but i figured with V6 and without a2sd or swap, everythings running much more smooth than with.
In Dexter's 2.2.1, app2ext is automatic if you have an extra partition.

Aah, good to know
Another question, is it possible to flash Hellmonger or CM6 directly over Stock 2.1 or do i need a 2.2.1-Version?
In Other words: Is
1) Stock 2.1 (sbf)
2) Dexter 2.1.1 (nandroid)
3) Hellmonger or CM6 (nandroid)
the right order or is there a better way to do it?
No need to flash to Dexter's ROM, 2.1 to Hellmonger's is fine.
i'm here to learn something.thanks
Hello, I'm new to all this Android stuff (I don't even have a phone yet, but its on it way)
I have been reading up on custom ROM creation but there are some things I don't quite understand.
Let's say I have a phone in Android 2.3. I want to create an Android 4.0 ROM to put on the phone.
Now... to compile Android 4.0 I need the drivers for my phone (which I doubt I will ever have access too since its only a cheap Android with a MediaTek CPU)
So I have a 2.3 ROM that contains all the compiled drivers and the Android 4.0 source code.
Is it possible to compile 4.0 and replace the zImage (if I'm correct) with the 2.3 zImage. From what I have read, that's where all the drivers are stored.
I guess its not that simple since I also think the zImage contains the OS. If so, is it then possible to extract the zImage and replace the invalid driver files in 4.0 with the correct drivers from 2.3?
Also, I think my phone will arrive with an annoying UI, is it possible to just get any 2.3 ROM (that doesn't have an annoying UI and shares the same CPU as my phone) and replace the zImage in that with my phones 2.3 zImage?
Sorry, if my questions are stupid but this is all new to me. I've tryed to read up on this but nothing is straight to the point.
Thanks
Anyone there?
try out some roms first. see what you like and dont like. it'll probably give you a better idea for how you would make your own rom.
I don't think you could just port an entire zimage to ICs and say it will work (it might not even compile i think). It won't work. You could probably take some drivers' code (screen, speaker, etc), modify them a bit so it compiles, and test to so if it works. You more than likely have to modify the ICS code also so it works. And the zimage is just the kernel no? And the kernel really only has to do with low level system processes, drivers, etc. I think UI's and such are more fitted in frameworks and such.
Personally if it was so easy to port ICS by simply replacing the zimage or file with another, ICS would have been ported to many devices, fully working, by now.

Yeh, but my problem is I don't have the drivers for the phone. I just have the stock ROM that come with it.
Is not that simple. I am 99% sure that you can't do that.
The phone I'm getting has a horrible theme on it. Its running Android 2.3
I have the ROM for a very similar phone (also using Android 2.3), uses the exact same CPU so it should be compiled using the correct platform.
Is it possible to use that phones ROM but replace it with my phones Kernel and .prop (so it has all my phones drivers and settings etc...)?
the hard work required in making a custom rom
I think you can take from the stock rom and compared with existing custom rom
but some sources are not shared freely as an example Tegra
CMIIW
I will mess about with the ROM when I get my phone. Hopefully I wont brick it...
I too am fairly new to android. I spent a couple weeks reading and watching TONS of youtube videos on how to ROOT and Unlock my bootloader. My best advice from one n00b to another would be to do the same. In particular...research how to do it on YOUR phone. Also, Roms are device specific. I recommend you finding the forum here on XDA for your phone and read up on whatever ROMS are available here. This might not be the ONLY place to find ROMS, but this place simply rocks! Once you get your device rooted and if necessary, your bootloader unlocked...you can easily try out any ROM without much fear. Just make a good backup...make sure you also have a factory recovery image too...just in case. For backups...if you install and use Clockwork Mod (CWM) you can use the nandroid backup it offers. I bought Titanium backup from the market and used it to do a full backup before I started...it backs up to dropbox even, which was a nice feature for me. Extra safety so incase I hosed my external SD card which had my backups...I could easily retrieve a backup ANY place that had internet access. Lastly...get ready to have some FUN! Flashing ROMs is VERY addictive!! :-D
Ok, Thanks. I will see what I can do then.
Hey all, buying an XT720 today.
Looking to get it up from 2.1
What is the most stable update at the moment?
I have done CM 6.1 on a HTC Dream, was pretty happy with it.. would like to get up to 2.3 on this..
Suggestions? I am using Wind Mobile in Canada for this phone if it makes a difference.
James
Hi
Their are choices cm6 is very stable
I would try flfalcon cm7.
Their are J.Y.Daddy cm7 these were made for the motorio to use these you would need to apply bootfix.
J.Y.Daddy even ported miui ics 4.01.
You need check out the development page.

I also have a list of most of the ROMs and their +/-'s. Ill find the link and post it. I'm mobile now so can't find it that way.
Im on wind also and i truthfully find bravo the best.... everything is really stable and HD cam and whatnot works
Here is a somewhat dated list but a list nonetheless and here is the thread it came from.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298208

There are a host or ROMs for this phone right now and it is quite hard to narrow down to "The Best". Each as their own +/-'s and while one might be a monster in speed, it might have poor muti-tasking or bad camera. Here are some of the ROMs we have and some of the +/-'s they have (not all, just some +/-'s).
In no particular order other than the top came out first and bottom is the latest.
2.1 Stock - Came with the phone. You can falsh via RSDlite the sbf file for your region.
2.1 Stock~ESB (Eclair Strikes Back) - Same as above, but has aorking app2ext, camera, FM Radio. Still it is 2.1
Dexters 2.2 with MZ patch - First successful attempt to port 2.2 to our phones. All features of 2.2 but camera is sketch and FM radio doesn't work (unless you apply FJfalcon radio patch but then it is still loud), media button doesn't work.
Kahlpower's V2/3/4 - Optimized version of Dexters. Same issues as above but is more stable and generally was the choice as a "home" ROM for many users. I have my wife on this one as we speak. Low maintenance, a good everyday driver. Has App2ext/ Link2sd, native Froyo App2sd.
Cincinnati Bell's "official" 2.2 - More or less a glorified version of Dexters 2.2 but I think the Mioz7AE found a "listening" script that may or may not send info back to developer. I would stay away from this one. Plenty more to choose from.
Wanhu 2.2 (also Wanhu's Kahl's Optimized) - Korean port of 2.2. FM radio and camera does work. Number formatting is off. App2ext works fine as does native Froyo app2sd.
XDA Special/ Hellmonger Edition - This was moveing really well and then Hellmonger's phone crapped out on him and his carrier gave him an HTC Penache, so no more support for this one. But is DOES work and worth a try.
CM6 - our developer Mioze7Ae's masterpiece (for now until he moves on to something else) All the features of CM6, including themer. Has App2ext and Link2sd.
WIPs
Brianlili's Brovo 2.2 - This one is almost done, jsut a few little thing to finish it off.
JYDaddy's CM7 (nightly/ HoNo/ iceandfire...)
FJfalcon's CM7.1 (make massive progress daily on this one as it is being built from source).
Like I said there are +/-'s to each but the are all spelled out for you in the OP of each thread. Plus, unlike other phone forums, we actually answer your questions and dont respond with, "search".
Good luck and remember to always BACK UP.

Where is this Bravo??
Also I have rooted..
but I have not found a good guide on Openrecovery. (EDIT) got this done, went through ADB shell.
I unzip the the openrecovery to the sd card.. gives me openrecovery.zip a directory and an images directory.
SO then to flash a new rom I just put the .zip file in the updates directory.. and bingo bongo?
Going to try Cyanogenmod 7.1 first.. not sure where to find the brovo? bravo? mentioned.

All ROMs and Mods are in the Dev thread.
I vote for CM6 RC3 / RC4
it's by far the most stable & fast which allows you to run most resources intensive games

Nandroid and battery
I just bought an XT720 (Rooted and unlocked)
Is there any way to change the battery level increments from 10% to something more exact like 5% and how do we create a Nandroid back up?
I also want to install bravo2.2 do I need to do a factory reset before installing this rom?
I am running stock rom 2.1
Well if its Rooted, then you should have Open Recovery on it.
When you boot the phone hold VOL up and it will boot in OR...
or when you power off.. it should give you the option to reboot into RECOVERY.
There are lots of threads on here about OR .. but if you follow the menus you should be fine.. on an XT720 you push the camera button (big one) to accept a selection in the OR menu.
You can back up - which will save EVERYTHING.. a Nandroid backup is the best thing to store away somewhere should you mess up your phone.
YES you will have to loose everything when switching from 2.1 to (anything else)
If you are just updating to a newer build of something you put on.. then no.
You do the RESET and clear caches etc.. in OR.
Do a search its all on here .. usually the first page of whatever rom you want to TRY.
Have fun.
James
Thanks for the reply, time to install some rom's
Hilarious...after wading thru a few hundred pages of replies on this phone and the various roms, I completely missed your thread here James which is about as close to what I'm trying to accomplish as imaginable..
I posted some of my saga over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399242
Do you mind me asking James/BikerBob...how did you make out? Anything I should know (if you have a sec read my long winded post lol!)
Did you have 3G/Wifi switching issues with stock, or maybe you didn't bother testing that / noticed it..before rooting I mean..
thnks!
(don't know if mods merge threads in this forum but mine is probably a candidate! sorry!)

No, kernal(maybe driver) can't support 5% or 1% percentage battery level.
OK, so I decided that changing the SD card to a class 10 might help app usage ..
I copied the old sd card to the new one.. and if I try and get into OR .. I get the exclimation mark in triangle instead of the OR logo.
What do I need to do to get back into OR? do I need to RE-Root?
James
If you don't have it already, grab Mioze's modded OR for the xt720 & follow the instructions. If that's all you did was to switch sdcards there should be no need to redo everything.
Sorry, never mind the OR issue, my bad.
I have played with this too much.. lol.. get things mixed up..
I had the OpenRecovery.zip from one version mixed with the directory of the other..
Jezz
OR runs from the files on the sdcard (the openrecovery folder & openrecovery.zip) if something is corrupted (or missing) you wont be able to boot into OR.
