WiFi Tether app Themed

I got a little bored at work today and edited the wifi tether app. For those running Cyanogen roms it will go really well. It's not 100% complete, still a few minor things I want to change and a slight off center that I need to fix but like I said, it's minor. After the holiday I'll finish it up. Hope you enjoy it, suggestions are welcome but I'm fairly new to Photoshop and GIMP so I'll do my best.
This is 2.0.5 pre 14 (the latest) and it should work with any phone that already runs it.

It doesn't want to install. After pressing install it says "Application not installed". Strange because this one (same version) installs correctly, its just not themed http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk&can=2&q=

Looks good!

That is strange, it installed on mine. Just out of curiosity, where is your current tether app installed to, /system/app or /data/app? For some reason when I tried to install it while booted (to /data/app) it did the same thing. I had to put it in my rom and reflash it, kind of the long way around. Maybe adb push and adb install would work also. If not, I'll pack it in a zip for you show you can flash it in recovery if you want.

Having the same installation problem...
Tried also with adb, seems to be an error with certificate, hoping you will make a flashable .zip

Ok, I've modified by me these app importing the themed file in the "standard" thether app, signing, and now it works.

Thanks for doing that. When I finish it and update it I'll make sure to resign it just in case. I'll DL it and update the post unless you want me to just put the link up that you have in your post.
EDIT: I just resigned mine (and renamed it), it should work now. If not use the link matiu posted.
Thanks heybobitsme, I'm new to photo editing but figured I should share what I manage to get done. If you have any suggestions, fire away.

Ok, now it works correctly.

[Fix] Fission Android Market 2.2.6 Force Close Fix

So I just found what appears to be a permanent fix for running the new android 2.2.6 market on Fission. I know others like myself were having a lot of issues with this. I'm on the 2.3.1 build of it.
Note: I have tried clearing cache, updating, etc... and haven't had a single Force Close error!
1) So I downloaded a copy of the market apk from here (I used the first alt link):
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/11/download-new-android-market-version-2-2-6-for-all-2-2-phones/
2) Then download the app ZipSigner off of the android market so we can resign the apk.
3) Open zipsigner and type in the location of the android_market.apk that you downloaded.
4) Give the output a new name like android_market-sign.apk
5) Install the new signed market file as you would any other app. It asks you about overwriting but just install it and it will "upgrade" your current app, just install it and it will be successful now.
6) Run the market normally and everything should be good!
Side Note: If you were to have any issues you can also just go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications->All, find the Market entry and click "Uninstall updates" and it takes you back to the normal 2.2.
Let me know if this works for you guys also!

Works great for me! Love it compared to the old market ..thanks for the fix. Never tried it before but its working fine now. What is the signer program for? Im curious what else it could be used for?

*I installed the one i downloaded though. Seems to work fine...for now.

Thanks ... you know, sometimes it's amazing what you (I) can actually do if you only follow directions.. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Thanks!!!
Sure it is going to help many users
If it does work over time I will post it on FRM.
I swore I signed it and it gave me FCs after a few reboots so maybe I did forget to sign

Just put the Android_Market.apk on the root of your sdcard then change the filepath to: /mnt/sdcard/Android_Market.apk
And change the signed output filepath to: mnt/sdcard/Android_Market_signed.apk
Then go to your sdcard either through file manager or root explorer or astro and just run the apk like you would any other.
I had some trouble to but just typing it in worked and now I have this working great!

With the zipsign update that came today you should just be able to select the file using the built in browser. Just give the output any other name like vending-sign.apk or something. Run the file then from any file browser after its signed.
And im not sure if this helps CM as I only have a droid 2 and just kinda accidentally stumbled on this fix as I was playing around with some other files but it prob should work

What can you accomplish when you zip sign apks?? I did the market fix and it worked well but I wanted to know why they need to be "signed"...can you sign maybe an apk you backed up from an old droid 2 that was rooted and paid for the apk but have a new google account and dont want to pay for it again..would that have them show up in market? Jw?

run .apk without file manager

I have some issues with a device I bought (coby internet tablet 7015) that have resulted in my being unable to use the android market (I always get a 404 error) or the app that came with it (appslib) I seem unable to install any apps (with .apk) because I do not have a file manager. I'm looking for a way to install apps without one, or maybe one I can install that is not in .apk format!

Go into your browser on the device and find an apk for a file manager, then download it. when it's downloaded you should be able to open it through the browser. Then you can copy over an apk for ME (MarketEnabler) and install it. ME will let you use the market.

I wrote down some options:
1. If you rooted your phone and such you can just use adb from SDK
Code:
adb install [dir/package.apk]
(usb debugging enabled).
2. If you have internet on your device, upload a file manager apk you downloaded from a pc and put it where your phone can download it from with the browser. So when the download on your phone is complete you can click on the finished download in the notification bar and install it the file manager.
3. You can also try appbrain.
Though I think you should first fix the market problem. How about resetting the phone?

You can also use DropBox. Download the .Apk to your computer, pop it in your DropBox folder, open DropBox on your device, tap the Apk, and voila!

technically its not a phone its a "Coby internet tablet" but I get what you mean, and I have actually reset it to factory default's twice with no success.
To the first poster thanks, that did work to enable to to get the file manager but what is market enabler? and any suggestions on where I can find it?

http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/detail?name=MarketEnabler_v3.1.1.2.apk
It can fake a provider to get access.

How does it work? Every time I tried it would say "We've got a problem Houston"

errmmm... every time I install ME it's ok...
try installing the 2.2.6 market from this child forum??
try appbrain. It should let you start a direct download from your PC.
If everything fails then the only thing I can suggest is installing all apps from .apk

He would need root for it to work.
If you do have root, try this http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
It works better than MarketEnabler.
You do have WIFI enabled? And added your google account? Does it have a SIM card?

the new one DID work but then stopped working where you can not download an APPS or update any apps. I was just able to update 2 apps but then it stopped working again and wont even download. When I was able to revert back to the OLD market, everything worked. There is a BIG forum discussion on the android market forum about this issue and someone else also said going back to the old market solved their issue. SO, I would like to get a flashable version of the old market.... Thanks...

Here is the old market that has the updater script stuff for Clockwork recovery.

Well, I flashed this and now the market doesnt know what is installed on my phone. for instance ENHANCED EMAIL just says PURCHASED but its already installed. It was able to download but it wont install. I did run MARKET DOCTOR but it couldnt fix the market.. any ideas?\
Update: I was able to get the apps to show up my CLEARING CACHE and DATA from MARKET... BUT 99% of the time UPDATES will NOT install .. they will download but not install. once in a while they will. HOWEVER if I uninstall the APP and hen install the update as if it were a new APP install it works.. any ideas??

[APP] Google Maps 5.XX (free) with WORLD Navigation activated

I am not sure whether this has been posted in the N1 apps forum before.
I just stumbled upon this in the desire forum. Basically this is a modded GMAPS apk which has World Wide navigation enabled. This helps for people like me who stay in countries (India) where official GMAPS navigation is not enabled.
Attached is the APK file.
Also the newest version can be found at the below site.
http://translate.google.co.in/trans...t+mod&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&prmd=ivns
EDIT:
Steps to install thanks to mynameisjon
1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup in case anything goes wrong (you might wanna nandroid instead, but I find this works fine.
2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.
3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall (may be unnecessary, but I found it worked, so you can let me know if it doesn't need to be done).
4. Install this apk(it's a resigned version that's linked to the market, so you can get updates*.
5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.
*If you updated from market, Navigation will be deactivated according to Google's restrictions again, so I recommend unchecking auto-update.
EDIT: 05/12/2011
A new version is available... --> http://translate.google.co.in/trans...t+mod&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&prmd=ivns

5.2.1 is on the above link too (latest version as per the market)
direct link: http://www.mediafire.com/?b83cel02g8gr6hr

Code:
I am trying to install 5.2.1 & will report with results in a few moments
It works as stated

It says "application not installed"

Yeah. 1 thing i forgot to mention is that you would have to uninstall existing Maps application if any. Otherwise the installation would fail.

it works. thanks

I've removed the original Google Maps 5.2.1 from Google, But it still won't install!!
What happend?

This worked for me:
Uninstall original maps with titanium backup, then copy maps5.2.1-ownhere.apk to /system/app with root explorer or similar. do not install

You'll need root as the Map file is in system (no access to it without root)
