I was wondering if anyone else was running into the problem I'm having, and if it has been covered before and I missed it in the search box earlier I apologize. I just recently tried to upgrade to JACHero2.6 and my market app (most important) along with several others are missing. The apps are automatically installed on all my other roms, it is only with hero that I end up missing alot of apps. I have a correctly formatted SD card and I did a wipe before I installed this and tried the whole process twice. If I am forgetting to do something special prior to installation or afterwards please let me know!!

you may have gotten a bad download. try redownloading it again. do you have 3 partition (fat32 ext2/3 linux-swap) if not i suggest that for jac's 2.63 also make sure you check file extensions in recovery screen. hopefully this helps
Yes I have my card that exact format and I tried using the filesystem checker in the recovery screen it said filesystem check was complete!! I'll try doing the whole process over again but I'm not sure how that would help, and it is sad too this is the best damn hero rom i've tested to date, its fast as hell!! If it weren't for my apps not being here i wouldn't be planning on a future rom update in the near future or until some big release happens.
make sure you always check md5 sum of all your hero build download
you could of had a damaged downloaded rom and this could affect your rom.
Just tried to download a fresh copy of the rom, checked to make sure my sd card was working properly, wiped and re-flashed yet my market app and the same apps I was missing before is still missing. It should be included that apps on my ext2 were coming back like they should be just not all of them, and not a few apps that I thought should be included with the rom. Is there anything I should check that I may not have yet?
I would use Root Explorer to check if the apk files are still under system/sd/app if they aren't... well, there's no way you're going to see them again unless you re-install them. You can also look under system/sd/app_s if that's there. Other than that, if you can't find it, it's not there. (If you know the exact name of the file or at least part of the apk file name, under terminal type: find "file name" (w/o quotes ofc)
You can add wildcards (*) if you don't know the exact name of the file. If the apk file is still there... well... let's just see if its there first.
I checked using terminal, I typed "vending.apk" and tried to check the dir's you specified for the apks. If they are there I can't find them, although I am a bit limited as terminal is the only app that came loaded with which to check for files. If the apk files are indeed not there then why would the apps install on their own without a problem on any other build but hero??? I must be doing something wrong right? I am open to any suggestions at this point, even using a different rom to check for something, my goal is to have this rom flashed with my apps working soon!
heres the vending.apk from jachero 2.63 you can try and adb push it to /system/sd/app_s and see if it works.
Thanks, I'll try pushing that over but I'm still worried about the rest of the apps I'm missing. Would there be anything else I could try to make it possibly fix all the missing apps? What could be causing this problem in the first place? I did notice that my sd card has an ext2 rather than ext3 part, will that cause all of this to happen? I'm still pretty lost on this. I tried going back to another rom just to make sure my apps would still all pull up correctly, and they did so it has to be something related to this most recent build of jachero, or something
welcome to the club my friend (-;
i have the exact same problem and noone was able to help me yet.
It must have something to do with Jacs apps2sd method. i read some tweets between him and cyanogen that it might be a little 'rough'.
however - it's always the same apps that are missing, in my case it's (badly enough) launcher.apk AND rosie.apk which pretty much means that i can't solve it.
i also tried everything i could with ADB - without luck. I somehow have the feeling that theres something staying on the phone even when wiping and formatting.... I'll check this through ADB this evening.
look @ my recent posts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search_rop.php?searchid=25731882
for previous moaning from myself ( (-; ) and discussion with others in the JACthread. Basically the last 15 - 20 posts are about nothing else (-;
I will also do some logcating today - i've already seen the errors through install (rosie.apk couldn't be parsed etc) but i forgot to save it (and the command promt only saves 100 lines or something)

I have used AndExplorer and put the APK's in the sys/sd/apps and it all worked fine. Very easy to do if you don't know how to push, just reboot after.

You don't need to have the myfaves app for you myfave minutes to work. You are still calling them for free regardless if you have the icon or myfave compatible phone or whatever. If you want to manage the people just log on to mytmobile.com and make the changes there.
Hmmmmmmmm . I never realized thanks for pointing that out TurboTsi.

open up your copy of the build and check in system/app_s to see if the .apks are even in the build. if pushing the vending.apk works i dont mind posting the other ones you are missing if you want to pm me or something
Just tried opening the update.zip file and verified that all the apks are there. Which makes me wonder what exactly is up. Im thinking it could be an apps2sd issue, like what was said above. I didnt have this problem with older hero roms that i can remember. TBH I could try pushing apps with adb but that wouldn't bring back my other 3rd party apps floating in ext2 limbo. So I'm out of ideas ;(

try going to the recovery console and entering upgrade_fs and that will change your ext2 to ext3 and see if wiping and flashing change anything. also if you have root explorer you can check your /system/sd folder to see if all of your third party apps are there
Just tried upgrade_fs and it gave me a "unable to allocate block" I noticed there is little if any room left on the ext2 partition. Would that cause all of this? If not would it be worth a shot to resize the partition and give it more space from my fat32 then try to upgrade wipe reload again?
If you're out of ideas, then I would attempt to resize first (but backup your fat32 first) and then see if that solves it, if not, then I would format, wipe, and update...
but are you sure those 3rd party apps are not there? Try using Root Explorer to determine if the 3rd Party Apps are there, if they are, just pull them to your sdcard and try installing them again with ASTRO or something like that.
Hi,
I got a GTablet for Christmas today and I seem to have had some bad luck with it...
When I first got the tablet, it wouldn't keep any of my settings (not the wifi connection, not the development settings, nothing).
I thought I could get around this by flashing a different image (I am a novice user, though I do have a very modded N1 -- except it's still stock, sort of).
So... I did not have a MicroSD card at all (it's Christmas, all the places are closed until Monday, and I did not anticipate any problems). Still, I was able to flash the image of TNT Lite...Sort of. I had no problems upon booting, with the familiar N1 X boot animation.
I could add things to the stock Android launcher included with TNT Lite, but not remove them (as soon as I sled the icon I wanted to remove over to the 'trashcan', it force-closed the launcher, but my icon was removed nonetheless).
I did have a slightly working Market (I had the half-star issue). I did not have Titanium Backup installed, so I attempted to restore a working Market by force-closing and clearing the data of the 'Google Services Framework' and 'Market' services... Didn't work, like I thought, so I then tried to sideload Titanium Backup.
There is where my big, big problem came up. As soon as I tried to load TB onto my GTablet, I had tons of Force-Closes (and the tablet sort-of half rebooted). So, I got them to go away and tried again. Same thing.
So, I gave up and vowed to try again tomorrow. Except, I might not be able to tomorrow... As soon as I turned the tablet off, all was A-Okay for the most part... Later, I thought I'd try a little earlier than tomorrow, so when I turned it on.... I didn't get any farther than the GTablet logo before I realized I was in an infinite boot loop.
Now, I'm stuck with a boot-looping GTablet and a not working Christmas present! Help, please.
EDIT @ 3:44AM (Dec 29, 2010)- [FIXED]
FIXED!
When you get an sdcard you can do a fresh install from the external sdcard.
Yeah, I know that.
I don't know if I'll be able to rescue it or not (like I said, I'm new to this, and I was under the impression that [Power]+[Volume-UP] meant 'load recovery mode' which would look like the one I use on my Nexus One).
Do you think I should try (if I can get out of the infini-boot) flashing to TNT Lite (the latest, I think 3.1.0.1 or something similar)?
I'm wary of flashing to that one again, since it seems to have some serious problems with my particular tablet (I searched and there were no similar problems to mine that I could find).
I don't know if I'll be able to sideload Titanium Backup, are there any alternatives to that in getting a working Market (I tried anything else I could think of, but nothing was ever able to sideload onto my Tablet, ever)?
Have you installed Clockworkmod recovery?
Read the main threads (tnt lite, vegan, installing gapps) and I believe you will find someone has had the same problems you have
Hi there! I got the MicroSD card today.
So, I was looking through the guide I had previously used (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004) and now I'm going to try to install ClockWork Mod recovery .8 (the one they said works best here).
I will update this (or maybe make a new message if you don't mind, if I can't edit my posts) if I can successfully get it working.
EDIT @ 12:47AM (Dec 29, 2010)- [Downloading the recovery mod file]
I downloaded the 'gtab-cwm-v08.zip' file to my MicroSD card, and extracted the 'update.zip' and 'recovery' folders inside (I imagine that is correct).
Then, took it out of the computer and loaded it onto my GTablet. I turned it on and did the recovery combination with [Power]/[Volume-UP].
It gave the screen that said it was loading the image and then another screen (black with 'ANDROID' and some other text on the screen).
For just a second, an error-type screen flashed on the screen (big warning icon, not sure how to describe it, but there was no text nor a loading bar).
Then, it rebooted (and then again and again, so it's not fixed yet).
Not sure what I did wrong... <
EDIT @ 1:43AM (Same Day)- [Installing recovery/Fixing boot loop]
Successfully installed Clockwork Mod Recovery .8 after downloading a 'command' file from my ROM's .rar (I modified the file so that it'll say <load-info>sdcard2<load-info> instead of <load-info>sdcard<load-info>).
Repartitioned to 2048 and 0 for the memory settings.
EDIT @ 1:55AM (Same Day) [Boot loop fixed, now just trying to figure out what to do next]
Repartitioning to 2048 and 0 in the memory fixed the boot loop. Yes!
Now, I don't know exactly what to do next... This one is still in progress right now.
Sounds like you did it right. Where you got the Clockwork file may make a difference though. There are 2 of them out there. One is from a thread that has it setup to load from an external sdcard. The other from the internal. Quick way to see what you have is to open the command file inside the recovery folder and see if it says sdcard, or sdcard2. You want it to point at whatever method you are using to load it. Sdcard for internal, sdcard2 for an external card.
If you haven't tried it already, look at this.
After that just load the rom you want.
Beware though, you may have a strange model that won't work with that, some have been floating around..... Read the full thread too
This may also be useful to you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842000
Now, I see why it did not work... Mine had no 'command' file AT ALL (in the 'recovery' folder)!
So, how can I make one?
By the way... To address your initial issue of being in a boot loop. Get clockwork installed. Once installed go to advanced, partition sdcard. Use 2048, and 0 for the swap. That will get rid of the boot loop.

You can find one in most any of the roms. The earlier TnT roms had them, others too...
They are all the same except for the sdcard, or sdcard2 thing I talked about so don't worry about finding a specific one.
So, when I install Clockwork, do I need to leave that MicroSD in there to run it everytime (not sure where it puts the files/etc)?

Nope. Once it is installed you don't need the sdcard anymore. Be sure to read my post a couple above this about fixing your boot loop.
Okay, as you wrote in the first page to reformat to 2048 and 0 (in that order), I just did that (as wrote in my edit )
What should I do next?

Reboot and see where you are... It should go back to where you were before you got the boot loop. The stuff on your internal sdcard will be gone though. So I hope there wasn't anything important there.
BTW, you can hit the back button on the side of your screen to go backwards in the clockwork menus.
Nothing important. I haven't even installed anything new or changed any new settings on my current ROM (that TNT-Lite).
I'm rebooting it right now as I type this.
EDIT @ 1:58AM (Same Day)-
Your steps fixed my boot looping problem. Thanks!
Now, I don't know what next to do. I don't have Titanium Backup installed (couldn't sideload it, I kept having problems).
I don't know if the Market is fixed yet.
Did it boot?

Yes, thanks!
Awesome! Now I would boot back into clockwork and make a backup. You can rename them from a file manager too so they make sense..

I don't ever use titanium to do the market fix. I just use it to backup apps.
Sent from my VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0b4 using Tapatalk
Okay, I made the backup like you asked. So, now should I try to fix the Market?
Is there anything else that needs tweaking?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some pointers on the path to 2.1 on my x10 Mini Pro, and hoping the wealth of knowledge between you all can set some things straight for me?
I'll apologise in advance if I ramble at all or don't make much sense... I've been browsing forums for hours and am suffering from mild cross-eyedness and slight brainfreeze.
The scenario;
I have an x10 mini pro, running 1.6, on Vodafone UK. Yes, the ONLY network that have not yet provided the 2.1 update for x10mp users. The phone was rooted with universal androot and also had astro file manager and titanium installed. For about three months I have had the 'starting download' hang problem in Market which I have not been able to fix. I hadn't really wasted much time on it as it was of little importance at the time however I now want to update some things and can't. Today I got annoyed and did a factory reset, hoping to resolve the problem. It didn't, and now I have a blank canvas of a phone.
I didn't back up before doing the reset as call logs and txts are of less importance that the files on my sd card, which remain untouched. I don't really have any other 'important' stuff on the phone right now.
I realised shortly after that I had a backup from December which I ran, as a last ditch attempt, this did not restore my lost applications, but did restore some user data. I noted that my root privileges and titanium were gone too
B*gger it, I thought, since I've lost all my data I may as well go for a generic NON-Vodafone installation of Android 2.1, and hopefully that will also fix the Market issue.
I've had a look on forums here and would like to run the 2.0.2.a.0.24 firmware posted by shivenjuneja.
I've downloaded this via pc, and understand I need to also install the flashtool and xrecovery, both of which I have downloaded and saved in a folder on my laptop.
Now remember, market was not an option so I've downloaded universal androot via pc too and have saved this to the root of the SD card.
With my primitive blank phone, I am unable to browse to it without a file manager, so now I need to download Astro File Manager again.
I decide to have a probably fruitless attempt of doing this via the market (because saving it on the SD card is pointless as I need it installed in order to browse to it!) and much to my amazement, it's worked!! Woohoo Market is working again! But hell, I've still lost everything on my phone so I'll perservere with my android update, thank you very much.
Ok, now while waiting for Astro to download, I remember that I've also read on the forum that the upgrade to 2.1 is likely to be stuck in a booting loop if I upgrade with user data on the phone. If I do a factory restore I will lose my file manager and root privileges that I will shortly be installing, right?
So now, at this hour, I'm wondering exactly what order I need to do everything in to get 2.1 on my phone.
To install 2.1 I need to install the flash tool and xrecovery. To install those I need root, to root I need Astro and before doing any of this I need a phone that has no user data on it.
D4mn you Vodafone.
Could anyone advise the best method to do all of the above i.e in what order to do it all, or point out if there is anything obvious I haven't accounted for.
I don't usually have a problem with this sort of thing, hopefully it will look clearer tomorrow!
Thanks in advance
K
Also, does registering your google login to use the Market count as 'user data' when you upgrade? I ask as I may need to download and install Astro again from the market, if it's still working after another reset?
A lot of view and no replies? I could really use your advice guys if anyone could oblige...
From further reading I understand that I need busybox to install xrecovery and that I also need to be on 2.1 054 as xrecovery won't install on 1.6?
Is this correct?
It sounded so simple initially to flash from 1.6 to the latest version of 2.1, whereas now I need this to install that, need to be on the later version to install the app I need to use to flash to the next version up, and have to have a bunch of other apps and tools installed in order to the able to run anything!
All I want is a rooted 2.1 with all the network and SE bundled crap removed, so I can start putting my phone back to how I bl00dy want it with the apps I choose!
I hate you Vodafone. IhateyouIhateyouIhaveyouIhateyou
Morning Fellas.
I have myself a Rogers Captivate and im attempting an installation of Serendipity 7. Ive run into an issue with the Update.zip in Clockwork Recovery... The update says it completes in less then 2 seconds. This file size is 149 mb's, how can this be possible? Am i smoking something fierce, or is this the way its actually supposed to work? Someone had said on another site, that the SD card may be corrupted, or the file system may be pooched. So, i formatted the card, put a new Update.zip on there (which is my re-named serendipity file), but it does the same thing...
Have i done something wrong, or did i do everything according to their guide on there serendipity site (download section)...{cant post links on first 8 posts}
The only thing that has me confused, is that nowhere in that guide, does it say to rename the file to Update.zip.
Any help? Ive searched the forums under the Android general section, and couldnt find much associated to this "issue" if it is one.
Thanks,
-Js
Also, i just started looking at this OS, and for some reason, i cant access 3G, or HSPA. None of my data apps work on top of that!
And to edit this even more. My phone is now registered as a GT-I9000, where my model number is an I896..... Something is really messed up here!
Scrap this thread. Apparently im just retarded. Instead of putting it in /sdcard which is for the onboard memory, i kept putting it in the external.
Thanks anyways everyone. HSPA works fully, as well as Data and no errors.
I just bought a Chinese phablet and was excited about the good deal I got for $250. The phone (Ginwave G503) arrived on Monday and I was disappointed to learn that the retailer did not install google apps as they do for some of their chinese phones. I figured I would just look around the internet and just install them myself. This proved to be much harder than I thought. I came across a German forum for Chinese phones and installed the google apps package that one user had uploaded to my system/app/ folder and it didn't work. I was told in the forum that It might not fork because I used some old files for Android 2.3. So they pointed me to a thread with a newer version and I deleted everything I had copied into the system/app/ folder and then replaced them with the new files. Then even less worked. My phone didn't ring anymore, sound didnt work, and the play store wouldn't even start at all anymore (it gave me a download manager stopped error or something like that). So then I figured out that those files were probably for Android 4.1 and my phone has Android 4.0.4. So then I found a package on rootzwiki for 4.0.4. I again deleted all the stuff i had put in the system/app/ folder and did a factory reset.
When I restarted the phone I was not able to install my ES File Explorer from my SD Card again. When I click on it it asked me if I want to install to phone or SD card, no matter what i select it says "X Application not installed". So I went into the chinese app store that was on the phone (called 360 followed by some chinese symbols) and actually found ES File Explorer on there. But when I tried to install it from ther, it downloaded and then gave me the same error. No matter what apps I try to install, I get this error now. What can I do? Did I break my phone?
If I did end up breaking the Rom and can't find a replacement rom for this phone online is there like a universal android version that can be installed on any phone? Would there be any way I could somehow play a new Android on my phone without having to know how to program something

At this point, it's not where he bought it from, it's what he did to it. Sorry to say OP, but you're very far up ****'s creek.
If you can't get ahold of the factory ROM and no one has made an aftermarket ROM for your device, you're going to have to learn to compile yourself. I wouldn't advise you do that, however. Based on your original post, you don't do any research before mindlessly flashing any old thing from the internet to your device.
If I'm coming off as a ****, that's because you want to call xda worthless when you clearly have your head up your ass. Someone might've tried helping you before you insulted the forums.
The only thing I can suggest now is using recovery mode to factory reset your device. This might only work if you still have your factory recovery; you never mentioned that you flashed a new one and I can't imagine you flashed anything to your phone without a custom one... But again, reading your OP it sounds like you just flash things all willy-nilly.
BTW, your device didn't have gapps because it's probably not approved by Google to access the play store. No access to play store = no gapps.

Before anyone ever uses a new device thee shall make a Rom Backup; just in case... (at least i would do this).
Anyway; i don't understand why you've put the *.apk file inside the \System\apps folder...
You should try (have tried) to install Android SDK (If you've not installed already); and install the *.apk through adb.
Check these:
http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-tv-2/pro-tip-number-4-installing-applications-using-adb-xda-tv/

I don't believe that the operating system blocks "Google Apps / Play Store". Either way i'm not going to say that it is impossible. But it doesn't make much sense.
But like "rockingondrums" said; If your device doesn't have have "gapps"; it's probably because it's not approved by Google to access the play store.
No access to Play Store = No "gapps"...
(Never seen that happening though)
Also you didn't need to root your device for that. "Play Store" doesn't require Root Permissions...
In order to help you (and help yourself up); I've done research for you (just because i understand your situation).
1st of all you shouldn't insult XDA Forum. This Forum has loads of information scattered around. Just dig like everyone else... There's probably the info you need. Yes it may take hours, day or months if you have no idea of what you're messing with. If the info is there, just don't expect people to do the research for you...
But, XDA is far from being "worthless". I've lost the count of how many times it helped me; and what i've learned is priceless. (And i still don't know everything i want to know ^^)
2nd; [Get your Device Working]
If you haven't messed up much... (Like flashing a wrong Rom)
Use "Recovery Mode" to "Factory Reset" your device.
I'm not sure if the method i'm about to show, works for every device or for your device; but it's a good example.
On my device i would do:
- Turn off the device;
- Press and hold in the following order: Camera Button; Then Volume - and then Power Button; let it vibrate 3 times; and then release the buttons.
In other words; this will "Reinstall / Reset" your system. You'll see in your screen if it works. Just dont turn off your device in any way while it's executing that operation.
Note: It may be different on your device. If it is... You have to search for a different method that will work for you.
Search this forum, Google, or Ginwave Website (if it has one...)
After this; i recommend you to do some search and learn on how to backup & restore your device.
Search XDA Forum. Grab some examples, compare the info you've got; then backup that device.
3rd; If you've flashed a wrong Rom; then you really have to compile your own, as i also couldn't find a Stock or Custom Rom for your device.
Note: If you (ever) find a Rom for your device; remember that it has to be A ROM FOR YOUR DEVICE! AND NOT SOME OTHER. Otherwise you'll probably end with a dead device...
And that would be sad and wasted money.
Here's a good example on how to flash a Rom and a good place to start with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android
Do some more reasearch; and now don't ever say that XDA is worthless.
P.S - Experienced People aren't here every day and every hour just for you... Sometimes you've got to wait and pray for a god answer (lol - so true...).
I hope this helps solving your problem.
Best Regards;

If I did end up breaking the Rom and can't find a replacement rom for this phone online is there like a universal android version that can be installed on any phone? Would there be any way I could somehow play a new Android on my phone without having to know how to program something
