Disappearing Apps! - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

Does anyone else have the problem I'm having where when I open up my app drawer, and most of my apps aren't in there but when I go to the market it says installed and I'm able to open it from there. I'm running Clean Fusion V1 right now but this has happned on every ROM I've flashed. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or a way to fix it.

I have had this problem even on the Stock build.
I had the app in the Application uninstall list, but it was not in the tray, and the homescreen link (shortcut?) showed the "android icon".
I HAVE noticed that if you don't let the thing catch-up on boot (let it boot a solid 5 minutes) things like this happen, especially when booting the 1st time after a ROM load, or stock restore.
It is all about them screwing with Vanilla source and the crappy TW Launcher tweaks they did to make TW particulars work the way THEY want it to, NOT CORRECTLY THAT IS...

[Q] I've searched for days for a fast, stable, sense-ui like rom...

OK, I've searched for days to try and find a fast, stable, sense-ui (Theme-wise) ROM that works on the HTC Hero. I've found tons of ROMS for the G1, I've tried the CyangenMod 6 ROM, I've spent hours searching for a good ROM. CM6 is a bit faster, but occasionally it will hang. (A bit better than stock 2.1) I don't like that a lot of apps don't work (After downloading an app and installing it, you can't click open or find it in your apps list) and I don't like that the fact that you can't group your contacts or have the Sprint/HTC widgets work. (The only widgets I use are the clock and the email, messages, and voice mail widgets that show how many you received.
Please let me know if you use one like that you can recommend.

For a good sense UI rom I would go with Zen rom. You can find it here.
I've been using this rom NFX-Hero 2.2.1 by nfinitefx45. After playing with other roms and the cyanogen ones, i've come back to this one. I've been running this for a couple weeks and it's pretty smooth and stable. So give it a try. Also, nfinitefx45 is one dedicated developer, he actually visits the thread often and help with answering questions, solving problems/bugs!

+1 nfinite's roms are put together well and are fast yet also solid.
I'm using the cyanogen rom. CM6. It's actually running android 2.2 (froyo) instead of 2.1, and I think it has a better keyboard and runs very well. I use the "digital clock widget", and the weather and "news and weather" widget, I think both are available in the Market, but News and weather came with the rom. I miss the bookmarks and calendar widgets from Sense, but its not worth going back. As far as voicmail goes I'm using google voice to handle my it, and there are widgets for it too.

I use CM6 as well, and prefer it over any sense rom but the OP wanted sense so I thought I'd humor myself
The CM6 with CyanogenSense theme looks and feels like my stock Hero, but runs way faster and has a better battery life. Zen makes a great rom, bit imo the CM6 is the way to go.

I've decided to try making a theme using the tutorial thread number 667951. (I can't post links yet I don't think, so again I'll just use this work around.) That being said, I've decided to stick with NFX-HERO for my ROM since the only thing wrong with it is the boot loop issue which I'm going to try starting from scratch to fix it today. So, the tutorial says that a good starting point for a theme would be to get an existing compatible theme and modify that one. (Great idea in my opinion. I've done this in the past with other phones I had.) Does anyone have an idea of a theme that would be useful for me to start off with? I want to change a lot of things on the phone, so the more intricate the theme is, probably the better.
Also, on a side note, if I remember correctly this thread had 3 pages before the site went down. I'm not sure why it was truncated. If any mods know why, please let me know.

We lost about 2 days posts when the site crashed
i used a theme called blue echo to learn where most things go. and in his rom there is a great vending apk that has the market themed as well. then i took a dialer from one of godzen's and moved it all to compare to my stock 2.1 files and made it work with a rom i am currently running. im just now getting into looking at the apps like clock etc but that was a good start for me since there is alot covered there.
OK, let me ask you this. It'll clear up some things I need to know on compatibility. What makes a theme compatible with one ROM and not another? Likewise, what makes an app compatible with one ROM and not another? Is it the structure? If so, how? I'm a computer programmer, but even though android phones are quite similar to a Linux system on a PC, I'm still not sure if I understand the compatibility issues behind themes.
Also, just so I don't have to post again to ask this in case it's relevant, are Blue Echo and GodZen's dialer compatible with NFX? I downloaded them, but it never said anything about NFX. Is NFX similar to Sprint's 2.1 in the sense that it will run any themes I make for NFX?
well the Rom im using is mostly stock so the framework and htc.resource files are the same. for say CM6 (and i havent looked into it just a example) may have say the status bar grey and i want black. in the stock i would change the statusbar_bkg file in the framework.apk folder but in CM6 it may be in the same plae with a different name or the same name in a different place or just non existent all together. as for if they are compatible the only way to know is to try. the only way to know for sure is to open them compare and replace what you need in the correct order. also i use metamorph to apply themes. you can find it in the market. but the Vending.apk theme must be pushed with adb for some reason or it will crash the market.
matter of fact now that i think of it, the Rom im using is about to incorporate NFX. go here and you an see my post where i put what i transfereed over and they should work as i think NFX is mostly a stock (so to speak) Rom.

You are using a Hero, right? Not a G1? That would explain the boot loop issue you had with NFX.
NFX-HERO was listed in the Hero ROMs section. You sure it's only for G1? Would another phone's ROM actually even flash to a different phone properly? I mean it works, but with boot loops.
Yes they will but may it may not work. And I'm sure that Rom is for a hero and I would flash over and look for myself but I have been threw like 5 Rom's today and just got it back normal lol.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
OK, so today I had a chance to wipe and flash the NFX-HERO ROM again. Now the phone seems a bit more stable. I can boot it and it boots all the way up fine and I can click "Shutdown Phone" and have it shutdown without freezing and rebooting, but now right now I've spotted only one flaw. When I use the phone in disk drive mode, but then pull the USB out of the phone without switching it back to charge only, and it freezes and reboots on me. (This happened last time.) I've also noticed that the phone gets increasingly more unstable as time goes on, so I wouldn't doubt that it would do this even more later on.
Correction, no matter what I do, to remove the USB when I use it as a disk drive, the phone freezes and reboots.
Update again: I decided to use RegawMod instead. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661991) It's super fast, no bugs from what I can see, highly compatible, and it looks slick! I even used a mod to turn my dialer pink. lol I can see this being my ROM of choice for a long time. The only thing I didn't like was that it was lacking the Google Navigation tools, so I installed GoogleApps.apk (If you're looking for this file, just Google GoogleApps.apk) from another ROM and rebooted me phone (So it would show up) and then it worked just fine. I'm not sure why it isn't showing local listings for destinations first, but that may be just because it didn't catch the GPS location right off the bat. I did set my location settings to being shared.
There is a pink theme in 2.1 catalog if i remember right. If you like pink that might be a good start for you to move the files around to see how they are built.

Haha... I see how that can be misinterpreted.
Yeah, NFX is a Hero ROM, I was asking if you were trying to flash it on a G1, because if you were, it wouldn't work.
I like Regawmod 2.1. Fast with a nice dark theme. Based off of damage control. Just my two cents.

Which MIUI Rom?

Which MIUI rom is the "best" for the g2x? I'm a little bored of CM7 and would like to try something else.
Try them all...
Is there a main "official" one? The thing is, I don't know too much about it because I guess XDA doesn't allow it or MIUI doesn't allow it on XDA?
There is jface and whitehawks port so only 2 to choose from.
For me personally I prefer whitehawkx version stems to have all features and everything is stable compared to jface
sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
On whitehawkx right now. No issues whatsoever. This is a stable as I've ever seen an ASOP rom.

I like the rom only reason i switched is mms pics i got were soo little i could hardly see them. I asked in 3 different forums and got no reply.
For users with tiny mms picture problem. Download GO SMS and set it to 1.2 MB and "Preserve Image Size" and you'll get good MMS pics.
Whats the best kernel to use with these roms?
Any cm7 kernel will theoretically work, I used faux though

I know, but miui has a beautiful messaging app, why should we have to use 3rd party bloatware..
I'm using miui4g2x 1.8.19 by jumaaneface
Seems to be a big step in the right direction over the very first MIUI ported ROM I tried.
WiFi Calling would make it perfect. Battery seems to be good.
I'm downloading 1.8.26 by Whitehawx now:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1858&page=45
I'll compare the two and figure out which one I like better. I really enjoy the blue default theme by jumaaneface. I don't think anything has been changed or updated other then using the latest 1.8.26 build (no G2x tweaks).
Update:
I don't really see any framework differences. I don't like the Boot Animation of Whitehawx. The one from jumaaneface had a sweet MIUI boot animation. Whitehawx 1.8.26 has the WiFi Calling app but it isn't seeing my SIM Card (which is the problem they've been having)... so no extra benefit there.
Music isn't FCing on the newer build which is a plus. There is also a DND (Do Not Disturb) app which wasn't in the older rom.
I could be wrong but battery seems to be chewing through the new build. From 8am-2pm I was at 60%. I flashed the new rom and booted up at ~55% and within 2 hours I'm down to 40%.
I did flash 1.8.26 over 1.8.19 so I'm not sure of any apps I carried over, only the new apps and features.
Running stock MIUI with stock kernel and Go Launcher.
Battery is awesome i can last a full work day without having to plug in.
After using it for a few days, I'm pretty disappointed.
1. There's no "all apps" button.
2. No 2g/3g toggle built into toggles.
3. Can't even use PowerControl because you can't change its parameters.
4. Battery life seems worse than Cynogen.
5. When typing in URL, it will randomly close the keyboard.
6. Can't add custom shortcuts.

For starters use Go Launcher. They pair nicely. Else put a folder on the launcher bar and drop all apps in there.
Also use 8.19 because the latest one 8.26 killed my battery.
Why use powercontrol when you have every toggle in the pull down?
8.19 comes with swipe but the stock GB keyboard has a wonky dictionary. The fix is to just download the GB KB from the market and switch to it. It may also solve the hiding keyboard cause I haven't a problem with the market version.
The only downside I've found is that Maps doesn't appear to be intregreted very well with the stock browser. Usually I'll get a pop-up asking to open the link with the actual Google Map app which is easier to use on a mobile.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI Love
Asus TF - Custom 3.2
Whitehawks is great, never tried jumaaneface.
If you're a Wind user in Canada you cannot use whitehawkx MIUI because data does not work. You have to use face MIUI.
Switching back to CM7. MIUI is pretty terrible in my opinion.
miui 1.9.9
whitehawk version 1.9.9
Was using miui 1.9.2 and it ran great with minor issues like my led home lights would shut off and the only way to get them back was from the led setting or reboot. Sometimes my phone would just turn off thinking it was asleep but was actually off. I would have to pull the battery out to turn it back on. I downloaded 1.9.9 but haven't tried yet using weapon g2x 2.5 and so far everything is running smooth with no issues. I had to uninstall tw launcher cause it was force closing now everything is great.

Remove superuser - Settings not there

Hello, I Just bought a used Galaxy S2 Skyrocket that the previous owner rooted. It was getting a lot of "not responding" messages for various things (mostly touchwiz) so I wanted to do a restore. I booted into CWM and ran the "wipe data/factory reset". I have read that doing so won't mess with the root and will only restore the data and settings.
After doing that I am faced with all kinds of problems. Mainly "com.android.phone errors" and most things stop responding. The top status bar won't even show up and the settings are no where to be found.
Okay, so I was just going to follow this guide here and start on page 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773659
Now my problem is when it says,
"MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE SUPERUSER OR BUSYBOX APPS INSTALLED
UNINSTALL BOTH FROM SETTINGS/APPLICATION/ALL MENU [/B](if unistalling is not available use disable and restart phone to recovery to flash the SU file before proceeding.)"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't remove superuser because there is no way to get into Settings. If I push the left menu button at the home screen there is an option for settings but it will hang for a bit and then say "touchwiz home has stopped". I thought I may be able to remove it from the play store but I can't even log into play store (it says Google account manager has stopped).
So I can't uninstall it or disable it. Should I continue with the guide even though superuser is still on the phone? What else are my options?
If you can get into CWM, I would just download and flash another ROM (with all recommended wipes). You will be starting clean and have root after install. The instructions for doing so are in the first post for each ROM. CM9 and Sky ICS are the most popular choices.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Okay thanks! I went ahead and flashed SKY-ICS 4.2F6-2.2 without any issues. Just wanted to make sure that still having superuser installed wasn't going to be a serious issue.
Now I am trying to figure out what the best radio to use would be. I narrowed it down to 4 different ones but their performance all seem so similar. Is there any kind of benchmark I can run to test different radios/modems?
Also what is the difference between non crysis and crysis add ons? I can't seem to find any info on this. I want to remove the battery bar that came with the rom but not sure if I should run "Stock Battery" or "CrStock Battery"
There is an app to turn off the white battery line. Crysis is a cool theme so you should check those out. Radios are trial and evaluation only. I benchmark with a call to my wife. She is getting good at evaluating call quality...lol.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Okay I found the app for it, lol. My phone had it before and I could simply uninstall it but it seems like it's built into this ROM I have now. Was confused that it wouldn't let me uninstall it like I did before.
I'm not so big on changing themes. I like the one the ROM came with. So the crysis theme needs specific add ons just for it? I guess I will just get non-crysis add ons.
Wish there was an easier way to pick radios. Pay-as-you-go adds up fast so I try to avoid unnecessary calls.
Crisis is only the status bar theme. So wifi, signal, BT icons at the top of screen. Nothing more. You can flash stock over it if you don't like it. Come to think of it, one of the Sky ICS threads has screen shots of each mod. They look the same for all versions of Sky ICS, but you must use the mod from the same version of ROM you are using. Glad your squared away.

Constant crash after adding calendar widget to desktop

I'm running SKY-ICS 4.2F6-2.3 (7/24) (UCLF6 Base) AT&T OFFICIAL ICS..Project Margarine
I just updated to 2.3. It was working great. I was looking around for my calendar, and after I noticed I didn't have one, I decided to add the widget to a new home screen.
The second I did it, my sgs2 said "Unfortunately, TouchWiz home has stopped." All I can click is OK, and it says the same thing, over and over, even after a reboot.
Any ideas how to get rid of the calendar from clockwork, or does anybody else have another solution.
I can't do anything from within the phone itself. It constantly locks up.
Thank you.
Try dropping a new launchers apk into /system. You will have to push it with adb. Then when you boot select the launcher you just pushed.
When it comes up under application management find the s3 tw launcher and clear it's cache and data. Then it'll work once again without the constant force close.
I actually lucked out when this happened to me because I had a shortcut on my main screen for tibu and got into it before the loop fcs.
Good luck, let me know how it goes.
~PsyCl0ne
Edit: actually was just going to say if you have the flash able zips on your computer open them up in 7zip and see if you can find the s3 launcher, just extract it and push that over adb.

The stock calendar widget is somewhat problematic. Try acalendar from the play store. Works great on ICS (I'm on the same rom as you) and has a more useful widget imho.

[Q] tweeked 3.0 ROM ?

Just upgraded to tweeked 3 and have some problems:
1. I can't find the voicemail app & don't know how to call VM. where do I get the app?
2. Buddies now is missing. Won't restore via titanium backup.
3. I migrated from eclipse rom. How do I get the eclipse rom keyboard and colors?
4. Howdo Irestore the default power on and power off animations?
5. Verizon Data APP / My veerizon forces close on startup.
I think that is it for now. Will post when I have some time to play with it.

1. You don't need the app for voicemail. Just dial *86 or hold down 1 in the dialer.
2. Buddies now is considered bloat and you can only use it on the stock launcher anyway. If you want it it is in tweaktools.
3. I believe eclipse keyboard was either a themed ICS or themed Swype (I don't remember which - it was too long ago). Either way both are available if you search. As for the colors - since Nitro stopped working on the charge we don't have that, but there are a lot of themes on tweaktools.
4. Tweaktools
5. It works fine for me. Could be a bad flash, could be something else.
And I guess we have another nocturnal person here.
The vvm stuff was also deemed bloat, but all of that stuff can be restored using tweaktools OR the system apps and system app flasher in the tweaked op. Jihad has you covered on the rest (thanks Jihad).
I got the verizon app to work after deleting and reinstalling. The rest I can live with till I have a chance to research Tweaktools. Most of the stuff is minor and just me being picky as I'm not yet used to the tweeked ROM.
Tweakedtools: doesn't seem to be working. I can get into the menu and install a theme and buddies now, but they don't act as though they ever got installed. even rebooted. What the heck?

You don't have CWM installed? I doubt it works with stock recovery. When you installed Tweaked did you use the Odin version without CWM? You should get and install CWM.
The only 2 boot animations that work are Stock Galaxy S boot and Stock DROID boot. They use the Samsung format that works with the stock kernel. Themes should work though.
Ok. Now I understand. I did use oden version without cwm. Now I need to oden cwm and I'll be good to go.
EDIT:
Thanks for the info, everything works.
Now I need to find a suitable keyboard---possibly one that mirrors the one in the eclipse rom.
On another note, I'm not all that happy with any of the included themes. How to I create the theme I want?
If you know Java and smali, you can rip apart the framework and make your own theme.

I have no idea on how to work with Java or what smali is.
I do have the old eclipse ROM. can't i take the theme files from there and somehow load them to the phone?
Regarding the keyoard, I couldn't get that swipe one to install as the app keeps asking me to login and I don't know how to generate a username and password. I'm now thinking that it was a Samsung keyboard, but I could be wrong.
Smali is basically the decompiled Android version of Java. In Android, everything gets packed up in .dex files for the Dalvik VM (Android's optimized version of the Java VM), and when you decompile them, you get Smali. It's like Java, but "distorted", for lack of a better word. If you know how to read Java, you can feel your way around, but it's different enough that even if you're good with Java, you'll have to relearn some things for Smali.
well...I did some searching on line and I think the stock theme that comes preloaded at the factory is what I want to get back to. Also the default Samsung keyboard is the one I want.
I'm leaning towards tossing tweaked out the window rather than getting frustrated. If I do that what do I loose and how would I add root to stock?
also, I can't manage to get the phone to vibrate when i tap the screen. Haptic feedback. How do I turn it on?

No. What you think of as "files" are a series of edits in the framework. Obviously the framework for Tweaked is for Tweaked, and Eclipse is for Eclipse. If you're going to try to interchange these things you may as well just reinstall Eclipse.
For Swype, I'm not sure what you're talking about. There's a big honking button that says "register" on the website.

Not sure what you're looking at. The theme in Eclipse is NOTHING like the dickbutt gold (or pumpkin and poo) in stock. And the stock Samsung keyboard is God awful. Why not try something like SwiftKey 3? Swype is pretty good too, and it's free.
To root after restocking, all you would need to do is flash the SuperUser or SuperSU (whichever is your preference) zip in CWM. When you move from Tweaked (the only current custom ROM on the charge, by the way) you lose essentially everything. Dwitherell has put in numerous tweaks to improve the UI speed, and he has put in TSM parts... Plus you'll be back to the bloated whale this phone is at stock.
I believe most of the haptic feedback was removed in Tweaked because most view it as an annoying useless feature. I could be completely wrong but I don't really feel anything even though my haptic feedback is on.

I did nothing that would add or eliminate haptic feedback (outside of the entry in tsmparts, but I did nothing to hook that in if it needed hooking). Also, the stock samsung keyboard is called AxT9IME.apk. Sorry Tweaked is not to your liking. Have you tried the tw4 theme? That seems closer to the stock look at least. I didn't think anyone used it, but I can do a little work and get a stock theme variant together if you want. Also, rumor is some theme options will be added/returning soon...
And for what its worth flashing something different is a far better alternative then anything to do with a window.
Thanks for all the useful info. I must start by saying that i do like tweaked. It is much faster than what i had with eclipse. That said im not sure how much is due.to the rom and what is due.to the upgrade ota. I believe its mostly the rom. Way to go!
As for colors im not opposed to whats available im just used to what i had. The big complaint is that the calendar widgit does not have black text on a white background. Its not as legible but not horible. I can live with it. Im surprised there is no way to change colors like there is in windows control panel. Or an app for that. Oh well.
Thanks for.the keyboard.info. I'll take a look for it at lunch. As for missing the register button...it was to early to be doing anything tech.
Im sure that over time ill get more used to tweaked and be glad ro be uding it.
One last request...stock shutdown animation
Thats enough for now.

To be fair most of the speed change is due to the OTA - most of the edits made were the same as they were in the FP1 version, so I can't really take credit for that sort of thing. I don't have nor do I pretend to have the sort of skill necessary to do such things
As far as the stock shutdown animation, if there's some interest I could try to get that together. It required a number of framework.jar edits to switch the shutdown animation focus from reading a .qmg file to displaying a sequence of .pngs, so I would have to undo that sort of thing to make the shutdown.qmg work again. It wouldn't be too hard, so if there's some interest in that I can put something together and throw it on tweaktools.
I have interest but am not sure who else does and if its worth the time.
I googled the keyboard apk and downloaded it but it will not install. Is there a certain version that i need?

FWIW, I really lock the Tweaked Shutdown animation. Just need to find a sound byte to go with that (for those occasions when my phone shuts down without me knowing) - thinking of getting something from Southpark's tweak.
as for keyboards, have you tried ICS Keyboard? best in my experience.
Ice is not my thing. I just like the Samsung keyboard best. Just can't find a copy that installs.
Also what about stock screenshot setting?
