First off, yes I did a search, both on XDA and via Google, and I turned up plenty of mentions, but no actual links.
The official AIM app for Android was released a while back, and it worked great (for me anyway); well, lo and behold my N1 was stolen on Sunday (bastards... WaveSecure's gonna put'em in jail tho), and I just got my replacement today. After rooting and flashing CM 5.0.6 and trying to restore everything to the way it was pre-theft, wouldn't you know it, the app no longer seems to be on the market. Anybody got the APK? Got it installed and can link up a copy from an Astro backup? It'd be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Yes I know there are other apps that provid AIM functionality. Yes I know about the issues many have had with the official app. Yes I'm still pissed that my N1 was stolen. Yes I'm gonna be selling an N1 for a low price once I get the stolen one back (and I'm praying I do). Thx for your concern and your help.
Can't help you with the actual AIM app, btu I can suggest eBuddy as an alternative.
I got the apk but I'm put right now. too bad I don't know how files.

^it's no rush, my dude. If you get around to uploading it when you get home or whenever you have time (assuming you meant you're "out" and I'm not misunderstanding), I'd greatly appreciate it.
When I can't find an app in the Market I can usually get the app wit Market Enabler and switching back and forth with T-Mobile and AT&T. It will usually work for at least one reboot if I fake a provider, reboot, fake the same provider again after the boot, open Market. T-Mobile is 310260. At&t is 310410.
BTW and off topic, does anyone know a place to find a list of ALL the different gsm.sim.operator.numeric values for all the world's Android Markets? That would be a big help.
Anyway, here's the official AIM app. Enjoy.
Hmmm, I just typed AIM and it was the first app in the Market to download.
As for selling the stolen phone, doesn't the IMIE or whatever its called get blacked listed/banned?
That's interesting... it's now showing up for me as well. It looked like a newer version than the one I installed though, it prompted me to "update" to 1.5.5.1 I believe it was; Astro shows the version I downloaded yesterday as being v1.5.5.1 however. Wierd.
I kid you not though, it wasn't showing up yesterday. I even went to the AIM mobile site and tried to get it via the QR code on the page, market found nothing. Odd.
Edit: Also, about the other phone... that's a good question. I guess we'll see if/when the other N1 is returned to me. *shrug*
Anyone else get an update text message from AT&T? I am running Assonance 2.0

Yea I got a text running perception 5. Not sure its froyo or a really late text for jh7.
I've been getting them for the last few days, though I'm not willing to flash to find out lol....
I got it shortly after flashing to cognition 2.3b6 - checked for new OTA updates and didn't get anything.
Just tried and failed to connect to server.. though it's probaly nothing. Been a lot of posts about people getting texts to update (I haven't gotten one, I'm running stock JH7). I think it's just AT&T trying to get everyone to update to JH7.
From androidforums.com:
"This has been happening for a while now. People who are running anything other than Samsung/AT&T firmware have been getting these notices."

Nope. Stock.
1. AT&T doesn't know what firmware you are running. They are STILL sending out general update notifications to remind people to update to JH7.
2. There are two other threads in the forum, on the front page discussing the same topic...LOL. Come on guys.
For whatever it's worth, I spoke with three AT&T techs today, from common answerer, all to UPPER LEVEL WIRELESS TECH, and the answers I got from all three, screwed my thinking, which at times, AT&T does well. The OTA to side-load they been speaking of, IS NOT A SOFTWARE UPDATE, as I thought it had to be, but online instructions, on how to make am adjustment, Menu, then Settings, to stop BLOCKING the install of NON MARKET APPS, like from Amazon. I thought the OTA, was a software 'patch' that would fix the blocking of apps not from the Market, but they all told me, that the OTA, was really a set of steps, that showed you how to make the MANUAL ADJUSTMENTS, on my Captivate. Maybe I'm the only one feeling like an idiot over this, but that is how I was left feeling. They sent not one, but two different text mess., that for some reason, didn't do a thing, so the upper level tech, tried walking me through the adjustment, his own self, but he flat failed to tell me how. He finally suggested, that since it was Amazon's appstore app I was trying to install, and my Captivate still was BLOCKING the install, to ask AMAZON for help, in case THEY KNOW how to make the adjustments on the Captivate, or better, to ask SAMSUNG, since it's their phone. The guy was nice..., but why do I feel shafted for paying outrageous premiums for service from AT&T, but when I ask for help, I get shoved along to someone else, for them to help me?
Has anyone heard, that the OTA, is NOT SOFTWARE, but actually instructions, to make in your phones settings? If anyone could give a rational explanation of this to me, I'd appreciate it. My AT&T Samsung Captivate, is a great phone, to me, but AT&T, leaves a lot to be desired. Any suggestions?
Please don't hijack threads.
Anyways if it is instructions then they will need to push out an ota to even enable the option. They removed the option to prevent people from enabling it to begin with.

Last night my wife's phone completely hung. Had to use 3-button combo to get into recovery and reboot. After reboot, Device Management was running endlessly. Tried to kill it but it wouldn't stop. Tried to use TIBU to freeze it but TIBU wiuldn't open. Finally killed it by clearing Device Management data. Went into TIBU again and froze it. Unbelievable. Her phone is stock 2.2 but rooted. 2 hours later, I noticed on my phone that Device Management was running (notification bar). Went through the same sequence to kill it and freeze it. I will never defrost this!!
On my stock 2.2 not rooted cappy it was enabled just by turning the phone off and back on a couple of days ago.

What is with all of the commas? Load a rom and don't worry about any ota from AT&T!
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine
no problem here rogers Canada ftw side loading enabled from the beginning. and as for the messages if you want them to stop just block them. and chances are if your on this site you have sideloading anyways
I have tried a few custom roms and then when I reflash back to any of the 3 stock roms floating out there for the GS3 Verizon my Google Play Store remains permanently broken. Alogcat indicates that it is getting back an unexpected response code 400 from google. I suspect this may mean that it fails to update because SSL is broken in some way but I could be wrong.
I have done all the normal things one does to bring back the market such as clearing the data on Google Play and services framework and rebooting, but that has no positive effect. Nor does deleting my account and re-adding it or creating a new account. Also Google+ will say "No Connection" but once I close out of it and reopen it, it will always log in to my account automatically without error. I will say that the error is reminiscent of the kind of error you would expect if your time is wrong, but it is correct. Any help will be appreciated it..

I love how people comment in a thread telling you that you posted in the wrong section, but don't offer up any advice.
I don't know a whole lot about your issue, but instead of flashing a stock rom maybe you could odin back to stock, accept OTA, and start over?
Not sure if that would clear up your issue, but hope I helped...!

Thanks Josh, but yea I have been flashing back to stock via Odin a lot, more times than I can count now! I've been using the HOME_I535VRALF2_I535VZWALF2_618049_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5 image file but Kies says it is the most recent as well so there is no newer OTA to come down. I've also tried LG and HD roms via Odin, but regardless the Google Play Store remains broken. I am positive that I have restored everything back to its original configuration as per multiple guides on the subject. It is extremely frustrating as I have spent countless hours now trying to fix this one issue. I've spent more time researching this issue on google, in the forums and irc chat rooms and speaking with more devs than what those people would care to know about. There is a serious issue here that is being ignored.
I develop iPhone apps, I do IT support, and network infrastructure for a large manufacturer and I always get a great deal of enjoyment figuring things out but something like this, which should be so simple and just work, ticks me off to no end. For me this just creates the case in point why it makes it difficult for me to care much for the Android platform as a whole. It still has a lot of growing up to do before it catches up with iOS. I use a phone to get from point A to point B and I expect a certain baseline level of performance and things to just work. I left the platform 2 years ago and from the outside it looked as though things have been improving, but I can see now that not much has changed in the OS or community and the platform isn't ready for much of anything beyond a tablet for me personally as it is just a no go as a phone OS.
I would really like to figure this out still.. so to the first person who can give me the resolution or help me significantly in some way I will gift $50 to you over paypal.

Well, you don't seem to be flashing a Base ROM using Odin. It being broken like that usually indicates DPI issues, which are carrying across ROMs.
1. Is your phone encrypted? (Do a reset and Erase everything from within, that should fix it) Settings > Backup and Reset > Reset
2. Is the ROM you are flashing using Odin a Base FW?
I had this happen on an old incredible. What it turned out being was that my phone wasn't activated. I don't think that is your problem because it sounds like you use it, but could be a corrupted area of the phone that flashing doesn't touch. I don't think its a ROM because I've flashed them all and my market has always worked.
I would try a couple things to see if either helps. First, Odin back to stock then turn you phone off pull the sim card, boot back up and let it settle, power off put the sim back in and power up. Second, if that doesn't work dial *2767*3855# to repo vision your phone, but this factory resets and people say it erases your internal SD card so back that up. Hope one of those help.
Also if neither of those work, try a new sim card. That seems to fix 90% of peoples problems on this phone.

kintwofan, you may be on to something. I have flashed the 3 base roms for my phone G7, LG, and HD to no avail. I actually use this phone on another carrier and so I have manually programmed this phone myself. So there may be something regarding the activation that is causing this issue.

Sounds like may need a buildprop change. Try changing buildprop to your carrier. Although one of my rezounds is on Tmobile without problems. Using T-mobile APN. S3 should auto add the APN. At least it does with international sim.
Use market enabler then to see if you can tell it your carrier. I'm sure you can Google the apk
You could also still do the reprovision, but I'm sure you'll have to reprogram it.

I assume you're on Verizon so did you try the other suggestion I posted? I used to run synergy with no problem so I would assume something got corrupted on your phone in a segment that isn't flashed.

OTA attempts to activate this phone on the carrier fails, hence the manual programming. I have tried market enabler and and market unlock but they fail to work in the stock roms and the synergyrom. The only rom that has a working Market/Play is http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/roms/cm10.unofficial.nightlies I specifically used 1005 and 1012 and they both work fine.
I don't know what he does differently but it works for whatever reason.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788443
I just don't really care for the rom, it seems like my reception and wifi has issues on it vs the stock.

Interesting, so the reprovision didn't work? Have you tried just pulling the play store from his gapps? Also, you could try his jellywiz ROM maybe he did the same thing to it were your play works, if you like touchwiz. I guess you could also upload the build.prop from that working ROM and I'll compare it to mine when I get time and see if I notice any major differences.
By the way have you tried Eclipse ROM, its very nice and bug free.
Sent from my S3 running Eclipse 2.1
Still looks probably to be a buildprop vs carrier change issue. CM is built off source and works and the TW roms are built off different carrier bases and don't work. Playstore looks at the buildprop.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 and I want Jellybean on it pretty bad. Jellybean is android 4.2, I think. Right now I have 4.0.4 and turned off OTA because I have a rooted stock ROM. My Friend has the same tablet, NOT rooted and took the latest OTA update. She still has 4.0.4 but a different kernel. Samsung is really dragging their butts about releasing Jellybean for this tablet, what is the problem?
I use Clockworkmod ROM manager to manage my ROMs, but originally rooted with Odin and a Windows 7 laptop. Does anybody actually have a GT-P5113 rooted and working on Jellybean yet or is this just a fantasy?
If so, could you please tell how you did it, source files, or at least a URL to the howto page?
Thanks.
I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2. It's not 4.2 but is Jelly Bean. Look in the tab 2 development forum a couple topics down

Yeah? No kidding? Well that is better than what I got, I did a cyanogenmod through clockworkmod and it was pretty cool and all, but no jellybean. Still had 4.0.4. I messed with it for a while, but all my stuff was gone and even Titanium could not bring it back. Since the new ROM didn't do anything spectacular, I used CWM to put back my old rom and apps. I do not want to start all over again if it is not what I want.
I will go see if I can find it. If you can, give me some links to check out. Thanks! :good:

Yah, it is true, there are JB updates for this thing. All ROMs are rooted so there we go! What I found is:
[ROM][GT-P51XX][JB][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10 official nightly builds
Now the instructions say to use the P5100 ROM but there are P5113 ROMS too. We also need Google Apps: Oh Christ, good luck figuring out which one you need.
For JB we need a CyanogenMod 10. Can be found here for P5113.
We get Android 4.1.2 and Jellybean! I did this last night from the Cyanogen mods in CWM and was not impressed, plus I did not read the instructions about using Titanium to backup only my user apps and NOT the data. NO system apps. Thus, I could not use Titanium to restore my stuff and was pretty pissed about starting all the way over and not even having JB. This is different and this I can do, besides, it is not even difficult.
I am definitely going for this but this time, I will do it right, get my apps backed up in Titanium the way it says, get the right ROM from the page I gave you the link for, and follow the instructions in the above link. I need some time for this but tomorrow I have to go and get my girl. She is close to 100 miles away and I got a roommate moving in for a few months, this will be hectic but I will get it done. Since doing this ROM will put me back to stock with all my stuff gone, I need my apps and google maps and navigator to get my baby, I restored back to my rooted Touch Wiz because everything works great. In the car, I use my Verizon Razr Maxx to get WiFi without that hot spot bill with an essential tool for rooted phones: wifi tether for root users. I turn this on, I have wifi for the tablet and can use Google Navigator on the big screen, not to mention great music and talk radio with Tune In, Pandora, or Slacker. If you got a rooted phone and a WiFi tablet, this is a Must Have app and it is totally free!
Thanks man. If anyone is interested in what happened, did it work, is it cool? Is it difficult, and do I have any tips, I will be glad to post them here, upon request. Wish me luck and thanks dude!

Yeah, that is the one I was looking at. Hey, did you backup your apps to Titanium? I never backed up "just downloaded apps without data before" and that is what I have to do or else I will be stuck trying to remember and install almost 400 apps. Did you use Titanium to restore your apps or did you just do the ROM and then do everything by hand after that? Oh, do you have a GT-P5113? Thanks!
I have a I777 ATT so I have a lot of my backups with titanium and just transfered them over to the Tab. Most of the time I just restore app and no data. Some I get them fresh from the market. Yes I am using Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 WiFi, GT-5113 same as you.

Yep, that's the one that I am looking at. I have had this thing on my screen for days, wanting to do it, but not wanting to lose the tab if I have to pickup my girl, she lives about 75 miles away and the huge 10.1" tab screen is excellent for Google Maps and better yet, Google Navigation. It gets me right there and if I am low on cash, I can tell it to bypass tolls. The Florida Turnpike and I95 pretty much run, side by side, so either is about the same drive, but the Turnpike will cost about $7-8 each way, only two lanes, no stops but for 50 mile apart rest areas. I95 is free and has more lanes but chokes with traffic during the week at rush hour.
The rest of you guys can skip this stuff in red, it is way off topic...
This really sucks man, she is watching over her sick dad, he has black lung on oxygen all the time, Virginia and the coal mines, you know. Then he is hospitalized with a heart attack. So, she stays at his side 24/7. Sleeping on the hospital floor and all that. The other kids, many older, do not bother this much. He comes home and she sleeps in his room, on the floor, by his side, to give medicine on schedule and in case he has any sort of complication. I tell her that she is burning the candle at both ends and will not make it, come down by me, let me pamper you for two days, decompress, and feel good. We will get you a self inflating air mattress to cover your sleeping needs, plus whatever kind of girly stuff she needs. It takes her a whole day and night to start to loosen up and feel better. Now she goes into the shower, next stop, Netflix in the bed for some fun and rest. They phone rings, it her family, telling her dad needs her, he is getting worse and she is the only one who can care for him proper. She made out a detailed notebook of prescription medication, dates, times, initials, just to make sure that he is cared for proper, and the lazy ass sister iwth 6 kids and all the rest of them cannot "take care of dad" so she has to come home, NOW. *@# Dammit, there goes our "happy time"
AND the next day of rest and pampering for my baby. She is a good chick, she makes me lay down and does her thing, she won't leave unless I am "so satisfied that I won't even look at another girl" (I don't look at other women anyway, I am old fashioned and never cheat.) and right back into the car we go, to take her home and then I drive back home again. I only got like 4 hours sleep the night before and I am way too tired to make this drive but I have to. She is *****ing the entire way to let her drive, but she does not have a license so I am a bit uncomfortable with that so I have to put up with her the whole time and she is right. (She owes fines from a long time ago and we do not have the money yet to pay them all off, payment plan.) I make it there, dad seems no worse than when we left or so it seems, and I drive home. Got pretty close too but then got nailed by a State Trooper, caught me not staying in my lane and everyone is doing 65-70 MPH, do 55 and you will get run over. I show my credentials and explain that I am way tired, the entire dad/girl/sick stuff so he gives me a sobriety test. Follow the pen with your eyes only. What is your education level, high school graduate? Recite the alphabet, NO singing, from A to Z. I pass both tests with ease. He says fatigue and intoxicated appear the same to a cop so I think maybe he will give me some sort of break, only 15 miles from home now. NO. On ticket for "Fail to stay in single lane", $166 plus one for "Unlawful speed 70 Interstate", $266. $432 in fines plus points, could this day get ANY worse?!! And I am a decent guy too. Never lie, never cheat, don't steal, faithful, the whole 9 yards! I need a ticket lawyer. ...sigh.
Yeah, here is the happy couple... Pictures Attached.
So yeah, that is exactly the ROM I am looking at, you say it is good, I am up for it. I did grab a Cyanogen 9 from inside of CWM, but that was not Jellybean and then everything was gone. ClockworkMod made the entire thing fast and easy, but did not offer cyanogen 10. I restored the previous backup.
Okay, so help me out here. The download links on that page do not work, man. The Google Apps are so numerous, which one did you install for your GT-P5113? I want to do this really bad but when I tried CMK9, CWM made it real easy, backed up the current system first, did the update really fast, wiped all caches, and I was left with, not much of anything. I did install Gapps and downloaded the Titanium backujp that I paid for, wanted to put my stuff back but Titanium could not find any backups. I forgot to do the setup and tell it to look on the SD card as well as Dropbox and G Drive, I think I am supposed to restore apps only, NO DATA. Once I put my gmail account back in, my contacts and all should come back and Titanium will do the apps so this should not be that hard.
I can download the ROM and install from SD card with CWM, should be a piece of cake, but I need good links to the ROM AND Gapps. Can you help me out? I want what you got. Thanks!
[Solved] 4.2.1 installed!
I finally got Jellybean installed with the Cyanogenmod ROM 10.1. This one works good.
cm-10-20121130-EXPERIMENTAL-p5110-CODEWORKX.zip
gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip
This page tells exactly how to do it and where to get the files.
By the way, you can forget all that attach the cable to the PC stuff and just use Clockworkmod ROM manager to install this, piece of cake. Put the two files on sdcard, boot to recovery, wipe both caches, install the zip for the ROM and install the zip for gapps. Done!
Thanks everybody. Just wanted to close this thread properly.
Hello Everybody,
Im having a very frustrating experience. I just had my htc one x replaced by at&t after damaging the screen. I actually bought a new screen to put it on myself but when I was expressing nervousness about installing it (despite doing it fine before on a previous device) somebody else in my family called at&t and bought me a $99 replacement using the replacement plan as a present and a favor. It's the same exact physical phone as my old one, but things are different on it, and I don't like it. I figured out the issue is that the phone came shipped with HTC sense version of atleast 5 (found this by googling pics) while my old phone had 4. I like 4.. not 5.
Don't even get me started on why. Biggest thing is changing from 5 or 6 home pages to scroll through to only 3. I loved having the space. I never even used the app menu, haha.
Of course, looking it up now this seems to be a pain. Ive been sitting here for hours and this data is so hard to get through because of HTCs airheaded desicion to have 6 different phones with the same name. I feel like im going insane with contradictory info and google just not delivering due to the confusing names. I keep getting info for the desire x, too.
My main question is: I have an at&t htc one x and I need to downgrade to sense version 4. How do i do it, and can somebody point me to the correct video (preferred) or thread for this task for my phone? I don't care how much of a pain it is I will figure it out. I'm also terrified I can't do it because I've been hearing rubbish about the at&t version of this phone...
Im so frustrated. Isn't android based on linux? So why is everything so closed and proprietary? Open source being used to make money and force people to have one version of a program? Not having control over what I have on my device and being able to customize it how I choose to the point where I am forced into a new version of software I don't like? Oh and not to mention that I can't uninstall facebook and twitter which I don't use. I hate this. I loved my phone but this is making me so angry. This is the exact thing I HATE about certain electronics. I want to have things how I want them, it's mine. I'm picky. I like customizing all my things and having them to suit me. I'm a control freak with computers.... end rant.
Thank you very much for any help,
Nichyun

I dont think you quite understand how android works. You dont need to use the Sense homescreen if you dont want to. Install Nova Launcher (or any launcher) from the Play Store and you can customize it however you want. Theres no way to downgrade Sense without rooting. As for uninstalling Facebook and Twitter, you should be able to "disable" them in Settings>Apps. If you truly want an open experience with Android, you will have to root and install CyanogenMod, PA, SlimKat or one of the many other custom ROMs available. However, it is not something you can just follow a simple video to do. I'm not even sure the latest AT&T software is rootable. Someone else will have to chime in there.

I really dont get it, I guess thats why i posted here, ill admit that. Thanks for the info... I'll look into all of that. I don't want to try to root the phone though, I' rather get used to it, I suppose. I dont want to mess it up, not worth it. It is frustrating to me that I cant delete certain apps because they're really big and there is no sd card slot in this phone so I run out of memory. I feel like facebook and twitter is everywhere it pushes itself on people which bothers me...
I guess this question could be considered answered because I figured out I dont want to do it any more.

Apps installed on the phone do not take up your main phone storage. There are two separate disk partitions. The first one is ~2GB and holds your OS and applications. The second is ~10GB and holds your pictures, videos, external app data etc. Thats what an SD card would add on to if we had one. Installing more apps (that don't have extra parts, games often do for example) won't take up anymore of that space though. (however it is possible to install apps to the SD card) Anyways, like I said you can go into settings and "disable" any apps you don't want to show up in the app drawer anymore.
