Anyone using Visidon Applock- face recongnition locking app on their charge. I had a Nexus S 4g and it worked great, but because of signal issues, I went back to Verizon. Went with the Charge. I have rooted the charge and am running gingerbread, but the apps market will not let me download this program. I think current version is 1.5 and should work just fine on my Charge...if I can get the download. What you do is take a picture of your face. Then you can use it to unlock either the phone, or apps on the phone by showing the phone your face. Works great.
Anyone able to provide me with the apk ver 1.5? I found and downloaded ver 1.1 but it is missing a signature file.
Thanks
There is a market fix in one of the sections here, after you install and run it, it will show up in the market. I have the file but am at work right now and can't seem to find the thread for it. When I get home I will upload the file for you if you havn't found the market fix. I have already installed fix on my phone and looked in the market for this file and it is there and works with this phone.

I will look for the market fix...not sure what I am looking for...but I will search. Thanks for the reply. And yes, the market fix would be the best solution...as it will allow me to download other GB apps.
Thanks Again,
I think I found it. Is it called build.prop.
You have to edit the file to make it look like a Nexus S....which makes sense to me...because that is what I had before and it worked.

no, the file I am talking about does it all automatically, you have to install this app, run the fix from in the app, restart from w/in the app, then when it powers on you can erase the app if you want to. This will enable all apps in the marketplace.

Thanks...but too late....LOL....
I found the file build.prop which I would guess is the manual way to adjust what your fix does. I went into root explorer and renamed the original file to old...then like a dumb ass...turned off the phone before I had pushed the new file to the system folder. Anyway...I just re-flashed GBE....no big deal. and will take a look at your "fix" now.
Thanks Again.
lesson...don't drink and work on your charge...it's a bad combination.
Thanks for this post I have heard about thia app and never.put much into it, I stumbled upon this and bam! Up and running, thanks allall

This is what I found and what I ended up doing. Download the file and then replace build.prop in /system folder.
I did install your fix.apk...got an error on download via qr....but got the file and used adb to install. Not sure which one worked....
...edit....
just un- installed your fix.apk. then tried to install visidon again....all worked well. So I am pretty sure this manual mod is the same. Yours is much easier.

version 2.2.1 gmail.apk
You may need to push through ADB as it was taken from a flashable package.
Edit: I can confirm this works. Just installed it on my phone. Rebooted and got the "whats new" screen when first opening gmail. Also reply button is at the top along with all other changes.
To install, copy over to /system/app with root explorer or push through ADB with "adb push Gmail.apk /system/app"
Verified also working on other phones. Also, if you are on an odex'd rom, make sure you delete original .apk and .odex files.
works good on Fresh 3.1.0.1, thanks!
I am running BS 1.4 and I can't get it to work. I was an idiot and overwrote the original gmail.apk. Do yall have the original froyo gmail.apk.
Thanks ahead.
Never mind I got it to work and I love it.
Thanks superevilllama!!!
I can install the APK onto my phone but I wouldn't mind waiting for the official release of the app.
Does anyone know how it will become available? Is it through an OTA or will it be in the Market?
What else has changed besides the snapping to top reply button bar?

If I would have posted that, I probably would have searched the marketplace first to find out that no you cannot, at least not yet.
I think google may be moving everything towards being able to update individual gapps through the marketplace, but not quite yet. Plus I am not sure whether this has been officially released.
Can anyone explain how to install this via terminal emulator?
I've tried "cp" and I've tried "install" - always get the "File exists" error.
Am I using the wrong command? Can't use adb since I'm not at my computer for a while.

Try just cut and paste with root explorer and reboot. A whole lot easier.
Either way you have to mount /system/app as RW before it will let you modifiy it.

Hey thanks for this. Never tried Root explorer - worked like a charm. Dunno why I've always been messing with terminal and adb when it's been this easy
Hey guys. This isn't anything fancy, I found this in Nfinite's Stock ROM thread. It is the updated Market.apk that was pushed by Google to a lot of devices (except ours, unfortunately). It has the ability to auto-update Apps, and looks a lot more like the Froyo one. It also has fixed my issues with Apps not downloading or taking forever to download with the market.
Here it is! You will need to use Astro/EStrongs File Manager or install this through Android Commander.
If this doesn't work, remove the original Vending.apk from your System/App folder, rename the new Market apk to Vending.apk and push it into System/app. (Thanks Impaler)
Also, it'd be great if you stated what ROM you use and which of the above installation methods you used, just so people have an idea of what might work better. For instance;
I used this with NFinite's Latest Stock ROM, using EStrongs File Explorer to Install.
Download
This is great! Testing now. I'm sick of all these bugs with the market. I didn't think it was going to get any better until I upgraded to something new this March. Thanks!

You need to first get rid of your market by uninstalling with titanium or through adb, and then reboot and install this one
Just a clarification, do you simply remove Vending.apk or MarketUpdater.apk as well?

Thanks! Seems to work just fine by simply pushing the new apk into system/app. I did rename it to Vending.apk to remove the space and resigned it, just to make sure.

Great to hear
i just figured i'd post this for people using the same rom as mine. I'm using blue echo which is a themed fresh rom. Unininstall market(vending.apk) and marketupdater.apk via titanium back up and reboot. Place app in tools directory of your sdk folder. Rename market apk to vending.apk.
Change directory to android sdk tools directory via adb. code is as follows:
adb remount
adb push vending.apk /system/app
That's all you need to do.
I can't thank you enough for this.
I was able to pull the Vending.apk and MarketUpdater.apk via adb, rebooted, then pushed the new Market27.apk file into the phone, renaming it Vending.apk and now it works.
My problems were three-fold:
A) If I let market update itself, I couldn't even open the new version. I'd get force close when trying to open.
B) If I uninstalled the update, I could still access the market and attempt to download, but it'd force close when it got to the install portion of the app
C) I could restore to a NAND Backup point when market worked, but within a day of doing so, it'd auto-update and I'd lose any progress I had made!
This has fixed everything. I've been trying for weeks to remedy this so thank you very much.
I'm rooted and running Fresh ROM 2.4 by the way.

hope you check this, I have an unrelated (sorta) question. I used your red swype for ages and loved it, but I found a bug in one of the numer modes in a loan calc app. I know it's not cool to post the apk (I have it anyway), but I do have the official beta 2.17 somthing, was wondering if you still had the red swype metamorph, also, I assume you theme the market in red, which would make my day, could you either pm me a how to (I have froyo), or post the themed market 2.2.7 in themes and apps, which hopefully works in froyo? Thanks again.
Anyway to get the notification leds/button lights to flash when a text received on 2.3.3 like it does on cm7?
EDIT: found this, works perfectly.

There is an app in the Market called LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications that works with the G2X. It worked without root with 2.2 but apparently it requires root with 2.3.3 due to some changes LG made to the phone.

Thanks. i thought it just my phone.
Hi, I'm new here and I this is my first droid, so i need some help. I have done an extensive search and looks like I'm the only one with this problem.
I've rooted my g2x (2.3.3), etc, installed the notification led, change permissions to rw-rw-rw (sys/devices/plataform/star_touch_led/wled), so far so good. But when I reboot (turn off/turn on) the phone my permissions get back to rw-rw-r. So every time I turn on the phone I have to change it manually.
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Phone problem?

Well for one, when you install the app there's no need to change its permission like that. Maybe that's why it switches back after a reboot..

That's on Froyo.
On gingerbread, this app doesn't work that way. If I dont change the permissions it will never work. It's like when I turnoff/turn on the phone the permissions get back to "factory data reset".
Anyone with the same problem?

Well, finally it's solved. Dunno how, but the permissions doesn't' change anymore. Thank anyway.

Do you have the latest version from the Market. It detects whether or not the file is readable and asks you if it can make changes, and then gets superuser permissions. It must set the file settings every time the phone boots. If you do have the latest version try going into the program interface itself and see if there are options for this. If you cannot find them, simply uninstall the program (delete its data first) and then reinstall it. The first time you run it the program should go through whatever it needs to do to get su permissions, etc. You must be rooted on GB for this app to work.
I am rooted, I know how to use that apparently but fir some reason it doesn't detect anymore. But I got a modified version from the Dev and it skips the detection part. The dev said he figured out why it was doing it. Might be an update or something ..

Hello everyone
I have a very simple question, but it is bugging me so much right now!!
I use Facebook on my phone all the time, and I love how it integrates into my phone, however, I hate the newest app that came with the new firmware.
Now, not being a total noob I found the version I liked, installed it, and things were grand, but then, the next time I went to use it, the app had updated itself =/ so I downgraded it again, thinking I had done something wrong, and guess what, uit updated itself again.
My question is, how can I stop it auto updating itself??
I have gone to the market and set it not to update, and it still does it.
Any help on this would be great

You pushed the app to /system/app/ right? well delete it from /system/ and install it in /data/. Apps on the /system/ partition are classed as "safe" by android market and the market will auto update them, apps on data partition are not and you have to confirm update yourself

The thing is, the app doesn't even show up in the "MY APPS" section of the market, so I don't get why it manages to update, unless when it goes online it just updates thru the app without asking.

I still get the thing on the news feed of facebook saying there is an update, but it hasnt just done it automaticly, and i use titanium backup to totally detatch it from the market!!

I would imagine that it will only work on AOSP, and it would probably have to go in the priv-app folder.
It works just fine. You can't install it, but you can move it to the /system/priv-app folder, set the permissions to -rw-r--r--, and reboot. I'm using it on CleanROM right now.
Did you have to rename any apk? It won't work for me, I'm on Viper.
The ONE!
Mine is named GoogleDialer.apk. The permissions have to be -rw-r--r-- and you have to reboot before it will work. If you don't see the new phone icon after a reboot you can use this workaround.
