I got it to install after uninstalling the old then rebooting, but i get fc's when trying to play music. Anyone else have better luck than me? Im on prime 2.02 btw. Oh and to get it to sync you have to clear data once or twice until it asks you to sync your gmail acct.
Doesn't work... Apparently its honeycomb in general, I checked the Xoom and Galaxy Tab forums and they're having the same FC problems as we are.

I did, it's pretty nice...the layout of the playlist (if you have less that 5) is kind of weird...It looks a lot like the old one, but smaller icons and text...
latest Prime if that helps anybody...
i have the same problem, fc when trying to play music.....now the question : has someone get the original HC music apk to revert to the first one ? Just to avoid revert to nandroid or reinstall rom...thanks
Here it is. Pulled this out of Revolution rom. I think you will have to uninstall the ICS app and then reinstall the stock app with Titanium Backup in order for it to work.
Work around for the FC's, just hit shuffle all and profit
Wouldn't exactly call that a workaround... yes, you can shuffle, but anything else is still causing forced closes.

thanks a lot Getlaid, but i didn't manage to install it using titanium back up......(i'm using the free version), and a normal installation abort.....
Try deleting /system/app/Music2.apk with a root capable file explorer like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, reboot, and then replace with the stock Music2.apk
Thanks! I think the power is in the reboot! Worked nicely afterwards.

If I go into /system/app the apps I've "frozen" with Titanium don't seem to be renamed or altered. So how does it disable them?
Im asking because Id like to get rid of Titanium backup, I don't use any of it's features other than the freeze so would be better if I could just do that myself..
I'm not sure, I haven't ever frozen an app with titanium. What I can tell you though, is that if you go into /system/app and move apps out or in, android will automatically note these changes. This means that you can blow out anything in the app folder and it will be uninstalled from your device. Be careful though, if you remove something you really need for your phone to run, you might have problems. I'd go for a nandroid backup first for this reason.

I frozen com.android.music.apk (Stock music player) from my Galaxy Advance with Titanium Backup.

Are you still restoring in the same ROM that you originally froze the app? The Android version is more important, but sometimes, the ROM makes a difference too.
yes, the same ROM. Stock ROM of Galaxy Advance. Only ROOT-ed.
android ver. 2.3.6
in the same ROM happened soȘ
1.Frozen Stock Music Player
2.tried defroze whithout succes. Titanium said was defrost, but in fact remained frozen, and colored in navy in Titanium, with "Defrost" option enabled. So can't defroze
3.Uninstalled with titanium whitout defrozing
4.So because I have rooted my phone I have tryied to put music.apk in /system/app folder, setting the permisons, the file is there and have rw-r--r-- permisions but the app is not accesible from app drawer.
What can i do to have it back in app drawer ?
Well, I only froze an application once in TB, and I defrost it with no problem. But, somehow another app still recognized it...so I do not know if freezing apps are helping as much as they are hurting.
But my last tip before I give up...for now. Uninstall, and try restoring only the app and not the data and tell me what happens.
And of course, if all else fails, backup data and reflash the Rom.

You can also freeze/unfreeze through link2sd, which many Android users have on their device anyway.
on my Galaxy S Advance I can't unfreeze any frozen app. No with Titanium, No with Link2SD
Look! I have frozen Yahoo News with Link2SD. Now I can't defroze it. I can try to defroze 10 times. Look at this video:

I will give you an Example, the software update app in my samsung galaxy phone it always run even i did not run it, if i will freeze my software updater app it will not run automatically anymore and you can't use it.. so like in video games, it's like a pause button.
my calendar kept force closing on me, so I had the bright idea of uninstalling thru titanium backup. I thought by uninstalling, and then restoring my older backup, that I could fix my problem. I was wrong, In doing so, it also deleted the backup file for my calender app. So I got nothing... Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated. I am rooted and running infused v1.5. Before I installed the rom thru cwm, I made a backup of the stock rom, if that would help.
Thanks!
Edit: I don't really know why our how this worked... I installed an android calendar apk I found by googling. It was a piece of junk, so I uninstalled it, and voila my original calender app appeared!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
You could try downloading the Infused rom, extracting it(it's a zip file so use whatever you want to extract it) then copy the calendar.apk from system/app to /system/app on your phone.
I have a Motorola Photon, and I had tried to get the old Market backet back with a process I found in the forum. It didn't work, and somewhere along the line I lost the Market all together. I tried wiping the phone back to factory and the Market app did not come back. I tried to just install a version from 4Shared, but still doesn't work with any version I install. It says that "com.android.vending has quit unexpectedly" and then it FC's. It only seems to do this when I go to download an app. I can browse and search fine with no problems, just no downloading!! I admit I'm a noob, and probably messed with something I shouldn't, but I figured this would be a nondestructive thing to learn on. Man was I wrong!! This sucks...please help me!!

Did your phone rooted ? if rooted just backup all ur apps, and flash custom rom back. that way will restore all basic app. wait, did u try install market.apk ?

Yes...I was rooted but no custom rom. I don't know how to do that yet. This is going to sound stupid, but what exactly is a custom rom? After I wiped to factory condition I tried to install a vending.apk from 4shared and that still gives me same error. I will uninstall again and try a market.apk now. Is that the same as vending.apk?
A factory reset will only delete user data, it won't put back something that has been removed. You need to get the vending apk for the version you want and instead of installing it normally put it in /system/app. You can do so using Root Explorer or another root level file explorer. If you don't have one installed, I can post the apk of a free one for you. Mount system as r/w and copy/paste the apk into /system/app, then set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot. You should have your market back up & running.

That's what I originally tried to do and didn't work, but I will try it again...If you could post an apk of the market you know is good that would be great. Can u post an apk of a root explorer also? I havent checked 4shared yet. Is there another free download service other than 4shared? Thanks for your help!!
Just download Market and install it. If it FC then check the permissions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231290
(It's the new market btw. I know you don't want it, but you don't really have a choice at the moment)
Ok so this is weird!! I left the Market that wasn't working installed by mistake. I installed the OTA update that Motorola did, and then re-rooted my phone again. Now the Market is working for the most part!!! Only thing is...it FC's every time iot installs an app. It downloads and installs, but right after it installs it FC's!! It doesn't always close all the way...sometimes just goes to Market home screen. All the functionality seems to be working though, so I can deal with that.
Does anybody know why after the OTA update I can only get EDGE instead of 3G on a Rogers SIM card?
Did you clear Google Services Framework data and Market data?
here it is guys, the newest Gmail 4.2 Reported to be working for Android 4.0+, rooted devices only. If you are having issues with 'waiting to sync', clear app data under settings and try again
Installation Option 1:
uwdus said:
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

Works fine by doing what Uwdus said, just uninstall the old gmail with titanium backup and then use a root explorer to push the new one to system/app and reboot.
I just renamed the gmail .apk and .odex to .bak and .odex.bak respectively in es explorer, and rebooted. Than I moved the Gmail2.apk to /system/app, fixed permissions, and installed. One more reboot and wala - she was up and running! Thanks for this, very sweet!

Kind of inverted
Just picked up the semi inverted 4.2 made by TeamBaked. Even though I prefer a full inverted app, I must say the white background in the email is actually easier to read. Anyway, check it out (I would post a link but I am not sure I am allowed to).
And installing was a breeze. As others mentioned, uninstall via TiBackup then install...loving the swipe feature.
These forums have been invaluable to me. You guys amaze me. If you could help with this, I would be forever grateful.
Phone: Verizon Galaxy S3, rooted, CM10.2
Problem: I have suddenly run into a problem where only some of my apps (1) do not retain any of their data after a reboot and (2) do not stay frozen (I've tried freezing with Titanium, Lucky Patcher, Root Uninstaller Pro, etc.) after rebooting (they do keep their data and remain frozen until I power my device off). ONLY the apps I installed on or after about two weeks ago have this problem (i.e. apps installed before that do not have this problem). So basically every time I reboot my phone apps installed over the last two weeks look like I've never used them (for example, a notepad app that I used extensively before rebooting shows no notes).
Solutions Attempted (without success obviously):
1.) Uninstalling problematic apps, rebooting phone and reintalling
2.) Doing a full factory reset via CWM recovery, wiping all caches, and restoring a nandroid backup that was taken before this problem arose.
Question: Is there anything that I can do to resolve this problem or do I need to get a new phone?
Thanks,
Jenna
