Whatever happened to map4pda? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development

I'm looking for map4pda, but can't seem to find it anywhere. I saw it awhile ago but I never downloaded it. Now that I want to try it it seems to have become extinct.

A market problem that is now fixed...

Well, I've seen a lot posts about this and only once an answer. This answer took MUCH research and I really wanted to share this with everyone.
Problem: Market Downloads will blackout/close when doing any action then send back a previous screen - on CM5/Dr. Cloverdale's Magic Elixir (Eclair branch).
I wiped, wiped, wiped, reflashed, reflashed, reflashed, and repeated. NOTHING seemed to fix this. I searched for a while on here and on cyanogen forums. Even tried Google, but this is kinda hard to pinpoint on a search on Google. I've seen a lot of posts about this problem that proves it isn't just me having this. Most of them in the official cyanogenmod XDA thread, which who can actually follow that effectively? I also only found a solution for it one time by chance on cyanogen forums.
Solution: Open Google Talk.
Why this works? No idea. Anyone care to explain? I have tried this and can confirm it, and one other post on cyanogen forums confirmed it as well. Can't link - it was hard enough to find it the first time. However, anyone having this problem, try it. I posted this because I know many people don't search, and even with searching it took me a while to find the solution. Many people also don't speak up about issues, so I'm just sharing for the better of everyone.
I in no way claim to have found this solution, I just wanted to share with everyone. I COULD NOT update any application from market, and it actually forced me back to donut. Now that I found this, Eclair is actually usable.
Please post if you're having this problem and if this works for you or not. It took a while for it to happen to me, but I want to know if this is an actual solution or an odd coincidence.
It is because the market uses google talk to sign in.
Very interesting. Sadly, though, this is a temporary fix. Even after opening I still have problems with market doing same thing maybe 5 minutes later. :/
Well, FIRST time it worked perfectly. No problems rest of day. Now, it's just constant.

[Q] Sync Icon

Ok, so I've done some searching and I've found my problem is pretty widespread over a few different devices. However, it seems like no one has come up with a solution. My problem is this, SO a couple weeks ago I had the sync icon pop up in my notification bar. But then it didn't go away. I've tried looking on other forums for this solution but nothing yet. Thought I'd see if anyone here has the same problem and if possible, how to fix it. I can't help but think my battery life is suffering since it seems that since this started happening I notice the battery drain a bit faster than it used to.
I've tried several different possible solutions, except a reset. I loathe the idea of a reset, but if that's what I have to do then I will.
Running stock version. 2.2
Solution...
I decided to give up on my weeks long search for an answer online and called support today. Figured out it was the ooVoo application I had installed for video chat. It seems to keep your device in this perpetual sync mode even though you're not in that application. Once I deleted it the damned thing went away. My Tab, now with more battery power for Angry Birds.

Ginger Break broke 3G

Ok I fear I have a very isolated problem since I have not found any other posts over multiple sites on the same issue.
I bought my VM optimus V 3 days ago and wanted to root it. I had used gingerbreak to root my optimus M just 1-2 weeks ago without problem. Well unfortunately I did not see that it basically doesnt work anymore (I did PLENTY of research but you guys have the only post), and installed and attempted a root.
It failed after a few restarts and tries, so I moved on, but soon I noticed 3G and GPS (I guess data as a whole) was not working.
Since then (2 days) I have rooted using <yuck> windows-superoneclick and flashed multiple ROMS including stock with success. BUT no matter what I do the data is still not working.
VM couldnt figure anything out, and has escalated the issue internally, and I could go down to BEST BUY and exchange it as broken, but I'd rather figure it out, and I hope its something stupid easy.
Can any serious developers, or even funny ones help me out here? Thanks in advance!
Update
Wow, no one up for a challenge?
Latest: Its been escalated again to like lvl3 VM support now, since 3G shows up and up and down arrows flash but it doesnt actually work. Also the virgin activate app completes but identified my phone as a Nexus S!!???
Any takers?
Same thing happened to me I freaked out.
I saw this thread and used Gingerbreak to unroot my phone in hopes the problem would go away. It didn't seem to. Then I tried to turn on some sync things like gmail and google reader. Googled for a bit and the 3g came back on I received the email notice for signing up to xda and just thought I would let you know it wasn't permanent. If you backed up your original rom with the gingerbreak try flashing to it and unrooting. Then wait a while for the 3g to come back.

App Drawer Folders are reset/emptied after reboots

I've been having this issue since I got the phone. When I make a new folder in the drawer and fill it with apps and then reboot the phone, the folder will only have a few or none of the apps I put in it. So I put put the apps back in the folder and continue on my day and after a few cycles of this the folder somehow retains memory of what apps it had and stops resetting. But it's gotten a little annoying 'cause I'm orderly.
Anybody know how to fix this or what's causing it?
I have no other issues with the phone, and it's not even that big of a deal. But it's too bad that my experience with the phone is so close to perfect aside from this little glitch.
Thanks.
i had the same issue and it thru off my ocd LOL.. so im monitoring it atm
Was there ever a solution to this? I'm having the same issue on a Note 3 running v 4.3. If found it asked a couple times quite a while ago, but I haven't found a thread with a solution.

Exact same situation. I've experienced it both on stock and hyper drive roms. I am still having an issue finding the solution. Any news?
