I have a custom Android Market that is really nice looking. I want to keep this one, but the Market app keeps auto updating it everytime I open the app...
I've already tried the terminal "pm disable com.android.vender.updater" thing.
I've already tried to "freeze" the Market Updater app.
I've already tried to "remove/uninstall" the Market Updater app.
I've tried to clear (reg/Dalvik) cache via recovery.
Is there no way to stop the updates? What can be done??? Help!
The theme market your using most(probably) not developed/modded(maybe not completed), most themed markets prevents itself from being updated.
Edit: Are you using a ROM? If so, then which?

I'm using Princely's Blue, black, white 2.7.5 rom... The Market version included with the ROM is 3.0.x and it keeps trying to goto 3.1.3.
I love the transparent blue, and not the ugly green/grey/black market... : /

Hm, cause I use BBW as my daily ROM, and I always have blue market, I know when the theme version isn't very modded it allows market to update itself, but I'm sure it's not the market this time because I use it too. Did you follow full install steps, that is main reason some system apps don't install? Your second option is, pull the Vending.apk from the V.2.7.5 zip and put it on your SD Card, Go to settings the applications, go to market, then click uninstall updates, if you get the themed market then good, but if it uninstalls the whole market app and you don't have market anymore, go to es file explorer or astro explorer(any file explorer than can ), then install from your SD Card. You should be ok from those steps, but if it fails by some strange reason, then reflash ROM full steps.
Edit: Before doing those steps let it update itself first, also, it's trying to update to 3.1.5 now.....

I did the full install steps but originally installed RBT first... then the BBW over the Red... Could this cause it? Also, I've already uninstalled updates, and it just keeps reverting to the regular market right after I accept the TOS...
I think I'm gonna have to reflash the full ROM again...
{[EDIT]}
The other issue I have is that the battery icon in the status bar keeps chainging between a percentage and a battery icon... Another over install issue?
Try reflashing them full steps, if the steps above don't work for you. The battery and percent is my "fault", it turns to a buttery icon at 30, 50, 70, and 90 percent. Not sure which looks better though, the light blue battery looks pretty nice, it matches, but the battery icon is a bit more helpful being as the number percent.

Reflashed the phone with the BBW again... (no over installing this time). As soon as the phone booted I uninstalled the Market Updater and it still updated as soon as I pressed "Agree" on launch... WTF?!
Other then the fighting market place and the every switching battery icon, I love the ROM... : ) Faster then my Epic 4G and Droid Charge by a land slide.
{[EDIT]}
I uninstalled the update, and the blue market came back (again)... But it keeps making my accept the TOS... and then boom! Updated...
OK, when you have the blue market don't except TOS yet, go to titanium backup, backup the blue market, then accept TOS, If it updates then let it update, after it updates then go to titanium backup and restore the blue market.
I'll try to get a up to date market in V2.8.
I downgraded to the 2.x version of the market (before any fancy crap, definitely before videos and books)... guess what? It's fast and responsive.
Definitely going to think hard about going to the latest version.

No go... Removed updates. Made a back up. Then started the app and accepted TOS. Let it update. Then tried to restore.
Android won't restore over the new version... Keeps saying "Application not Installed". Tried to delete just the app, but when I restored the TOS was needed again... Was a good idea tho.
{[EDIT]}
Just tried something else... I directly replaced the com.android.vender(-1).apk apps over the whole rom... Seems to work for now... Wish me luck...
{[EDIT 2]}
Stayed for about 10-20 mins and then was replaced... What is causing this?
Theoretically you COULD delete the app, but that seems a little risky...something you should only try after a full backup (and something I would only try with a lot of Red Bull early in the morning)...
Or theme the latest market apk too. If it is recompiled, and assigned with a different key than the One Google uses, it might stick. But then, you may be voiding your ability to use Marketplace too...

I don't really know where to post this. I tried searching but there doesn't seem to be any info on this. I'm running Damage 2.08 which originally came w/ the stock black notification bar. However, after flashing that ROM, one of the first things I did was flash a white bar. This was months ago so I can't restore that version from nandroid, it would obviously kill everything on my phone now.
So what I'm looking for is basically a way to remove the white bar that I flashed or a .zip that has the stock black bar that I can flash over the white one.
Thanks,

Just flash the rom zip over it again without wiping. It will basically reset the visual tweaks (including the black bar) without affecting your settings.

For some reason it doesn't work. It hangs on the black HTC screen. That's right after I turn it on. Whenever I see someone's phone hang it's on the white screen - mine doesn't even get that far.
1. Does my A2SD have anything to do w/ it?
2. I tried black themes through Metamorph (old .jar version and new .xml version) and neither work. Both make the phone hang on the black screen.
3. I also have close to 100 apps installed - could that be part of the problem?
I appreciate any help!
I hope you did Nandroid before you made change? If yes, restore from Nandroid. To change back to the stock Black you just need to replace the PNG files in Framwork-Res.apk and push back to the phone.

Yes, I already restored from Nan. As far as pushing the stock PNG: that'll leave me with a black bar, yes, but also I'll have a black clock, wouldn't I?

Try wiping dalvik-cache before reinstalling 2.08, then let it try to boot for 20 min. There might be a conflict that it can't sort through now. That, or just try upgrading to the most recent version of DC (2.09.01), that should reset the visuals too.
In truth, back when I was running Damage I had the same problems (with the hang on black htc screen after every mod ... upgrade to 2.09, metamorph, etc.). I just ended up moving on, and found many roms to be much more stable and expansive in terms of options. If you love Sense, then check out nfinitefx or ZenHeroFX; if you can handle moving to AOSP (for the sake of a HUGE boost in speed), then check out buufed or the CM6 nightlies. DC 2.08 worked very well for when it came out, but there is much bigger and better, so you might wanna consider an upgrade .
Either way, good luck man.

Thank you for the advice my good man! I actually seriously considered running Sense-less (lol) but I kind of like the Facebook/Contacts integration and the nicer camera... I'll give it another go - I never use the Sense Home, I use LauncherPro, so I know I WON'T be missing that..!
HOWEVER
Here would be my 1st question if I decide on AOSP: How do I make the notification bar black like in Sense?!
Although perhaps I could get Metamorph to work properly or that "services.jar" mod where you can change the color might actually work...
I'll give it a go probably tomorrow but if you have any more insight, I'd appreciate it!

As far as the black notification bar goes, I'm running froyo with the blackmod theme, although there is one for darchdroid as well. It includes a themed black bar (as well as a ton of other sick theming features). The camera thing I cant help out on, but the new version of"facebook for android" in the market syncs contacts very well (better than my wifes with facebook sense). Another heads up, if you can find fancy widget on the forums, it looks just like the clock/weather widget everyone knows.
Hope this helps.

OK, I've run into a brick wall. I nan'd just in case (good thing). I wiped my phone. I wiped dalvik chache. I flashed 4 different ROMs because NONE of them load. I gave them all 30 mins of boot-up time. They all go past the black HTC screen, then continue on to the white HTC screen (good sign), then to the logo screen (better sign). However, all the ROMs, after about 20-30 minutes just go into the loop of white HTC screen to logo screen and it just loops.
The ONLY way to get the ROM to load is to remove the SD card. BUT All my apps are on the card. Do I have to wipe the ext partition too? If so, I'm puzzled by A2SD - I thought the whole purpose was to never have to reinstall your apps. So apparently, A2SD seems to be causing this...
You do have to wipe your ext partirion. A2SD is only to save space on the internal memory.

Nice ROM. Very fast and visually very nice... But there are some problems that I have found.
1) *228 PRL update will Force Close the Phone App. (this is a deal breaker for me)
2) The HTC keyboard enclosed will Force Close if you change input to that (I dont use it anyway, bought Smart Keyboard pro)
3) Some reports of Beautiful Widgets Weather not geolocating.. I had an issue with getting it to do this with the Accuweather setting for weather, but once I put it to Google for weather it worked and worked once I set it back to Accuweather.
4) When entering APNS settings for MMS Carrier settings, when you scroll down the settings you inputted if they scroll off the screen they are lost.. The only way to do this was to enter settings, save... go back in, scroll down... enter the other settings. Save... etc etc...
5) does not recognize the network its connected to, so the roaming signal will show on US Cellular for example, even though it is NOT roaming

1) Use *228+ -- that will work. Fix may be coming soon so the + doesn't have to be used.
2) Haven't looked, I don't use that KB. Might remove.
3) Interesting
4) What method are using to enter APNS?
5) Just like CM6, you can place a custom eri.xml in /data. This will fix the roaming indicator

1) Will try that when I put the ROM back on.. went back to Cyanogen for today at work..
2) Yes totally force closes, even on fresh install
4) Using voice dialer and saying Open APNS.. then edit the info.
5) Will try that..
The HTC IME mod keyboard does work. I installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled and it worked. So you might want to try it.
So far so good on the ROM. Everything seems to work fine, the battery life is pretty decent, and I'm happy with it. Only problem is that my Friends widget with Launcher Pro Plus doesn't seem to work. Both my twitter and facebook are linked, but the widget doesn't seem to retrieve statuses/tweets.
I just deleted the HTC_IME, it was too glitchy for me.. another thing that needs to be removed, the FM Radio.. does not work with CDMA Desire at all...
Reloaded this ROM and made the XML mod so it wont show as roaming anymore. Also *228+ works just fine... Loving it so far. Apps2SD doesnt allow as many apps to be moved to the SDCard like in Cyanogen (For example I cant move some of Adobe flash to the SDCard, can on Cyanogen but not on MIUI) Not a big deal as I have a custom MTD layout that gives me 230mb of free space on fresh install =)

used Firerats Custom MTD from this thread here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...-installing-cyanogenmod6-gapps-firerats-cmtd/
Gives you 150mb for system and gets rid of the cache partition so cache will then be on your Data partition instead.. That way the cache partition isn't sitting there not used (like most of the time) and can be used by the system instead.. However this would be bad if you really fill the phone up and have no room for any cache.. Just keep on top of it. Got a ton of apps installed now and I still have 180mb free on the device.. .. Not had any performance issues running it this way with either Cyanogen OR MIUI.
Just follow the guide there, and instead of using Cyanogen use the MiUI Rom... Works a treat..
How much of the system partition does MIUI use? You may have to edit the mtdpartmap.txt (as outlined in my guide linked in the post above; section 'Installing') so that the ROM will fit.
Otherwise, if you get a fully functional build up, I would love to try it out

It IS fully functional as long as you do what I said a couple of posts back, delete the FM Radio App, HTC_IME and put the ERI file in so you get carrier stats so you dont get the roaming symbol anymore.
System storage using the Firerat MTD of 150 2 gives me 35.44mb free on the 150mb System partition..
This ROM is really growing on me... Some things to consider..
Do NOT use titanium backup to backup and restore the APNs to MIUI, make sure you enter them yourself from scratch.. Also do NOT restore any SMS messages.. It will make your message app FC all the time.. start from scratch with that.. Using Titanium to restore stuff like Angry Birds saves etc is fine, just dont use it for any system stuff, looks like it has some compatibility issues..
Other than that, and the *228 issue (just use *228+) its great... It looks and feels totally different from other Android ROMS which is probably why I am liking it..
Besides, do a nandroid backup and take the plunge...

Threw this in running well liking it so far
Downloading this right now.
EDIT: Installed, and. . . oh wow. This is cool. . .
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.

I was looking at some themes for Apex and I read some replies where people recommend to convert the theme to a system app via titanium backup.
Is there any reason for this?
I searched the net but came away empty-handed.
thanks!
The reason why some people would say that is so if you do a full wipe on your device, when you boot it back up, the theme will still be there rather than having to download and apply the theme every time.

Is this through the freeze option? Thanks
No. If you "freeze" an app it disables it so you won't be able to access it until you unfreeze it.
There should be an option somewhere to set apps as a system app. I'm not too sure though because I use ROM Toolbox instead.
''Evil corrupts the mind of the weak but fails to feed off the mind of the strong''
When I checked my Galaxy's file manager to uninstall an app, I suddenly saw "Google Play Services" installed. a 3.15 mb app. What is this for? I read on the market it is automatically installed? But, I didn't see any updates on my notification bar to install this, it just popped on my file manager.. I uninstalled it, but it installed again without any notification for it to be installed... please see attachment to see what im talking about guys.. Thankz!
I think that the 3.15MB file is the latest version of Google Play. It NEVER alerts you when it is downloading, updating, or complete. So just to let you know, it is likely to update again. If you are in GPlay at the time, it will force close with no warning.
That is not a defect in the app, but that is simply how it behaves. I flash many roms weekly, and sometimes daily, and this behavior is common among ALL fresh installs of any rom.

I also read that Go launcher apps such as themes and keyboard skins have airpush ads, could this be true because i do have Go Launcher, and I had that chinese envelope thing on my notification bar, could this have any relation?
Hmm...can't really tell with the Go Launcher issue. I never had this problem, but I do get the Airpush ads with Go launcher and its products installed. Did you try a XDA or Google search for ppy_cross? That might yield the best results, if any.
Could also be spam that filtered through from somewhere
Google play services is some app to better unify and use Google plus and +1s I believe. Something to that extent.
I got it too, useless for me but WHATEVS

Just a quick note. Has anyone looked at what this google play services actually has access to.. basically it can take almost total control of your phone..
I froze it with titanium backup and nothing happened.
