Problems after intstalling Launcher.apk - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I thought I would give Fata1ity's hero looking Laucher a shot. I installed Launcher.apk and it works fine, however it's not the look I was going for.
I tried a full wipe and reinstall of my fatai1ity 1.4 rom, the laucher is still there.
I tried copying the Launcher.apk and the Launcher.odex out of the fatality zip file and pushing those over. Didn't change it.
I'm about to try another full wipe and install. Any tips of how to revert back to the google launcher?

Argggg this is so frustrating. I have now tried wiping the phone and installing a non-Hero rom Cyanm 4.0.1. The launcher is now the google launcher.
I wipe again and install the Fataility 1.4 and the launcher is back to the one I pushed over! How that can be.

I gave up on Fata1ity't and have switched to a plain-jane Cyan 4.0.1 because of this :-( I couldn't figure out any way to get rid of the Launcher.apk
The one thing I haven't tried yet was installing a different Hero rom. I can't fathom why it comes back when I install Fatality.

Double post, sorry.

As far as I can see, Live Wallpapers are not going to work until someone bakes a custom rom. The Live wallpaper picker just force closes on selection. So, unless I failed at installing the live wallpapers and the picker...

What launcher are you using? Did you try ADW or Launcher Pro? did you also load livewallpapers.apk?
I loaded livewallpapers.apk and the livewallapaerspicker.apk
I tried with Sense and sweeterhome
But I think I need to load the .SO files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837
But I have to find a different SD card because I can't get into recovery mode with my 8gb sd card.
(I left my 2gb at home)
ADW gave me the same problem.
I was able to adb remount since I pushed your clean update
But now I am getting "out of memory" when I try to push the SO files.
So I guess I will have to do the push in restore mode.

Let me know if you can figure out a way to get it running in Sense. I still haven't gotten my Aria (due to show up on Monday), but the lack of wallpapers is the one thing I was disappointed with.
Well I have live wallpapers working on my aria right now in alternate launchers like adw and launcher pro.
Pulled the files from a custom rom that adds live wallpapers for legend then rebuilt them into a rom I'm working on stripped of at&t crap. Did not replace the rosie apk since at this time tha just crashed htc.launcher.
This is a fun little phone.

Hey Bob, did you find a way to fix the non-market apps toggle in settings? I am working on a modified spare parts type deal to do that now, but if you already have a fix, I am all ears. Funny, AT&T didn't like the name Liberty. How fitting that they chose not to use it.
we really should open an IRC channel
The real question is there a way to do Live Wallpapers & Sense at the same time.
I know I am being picky, but I want my tech the way I want my tech.

There is a way since the rom i stole the stuff from was for the legend and Sense its just the version of sense that was in the rom is not compatible with our rom.
I havent even started looking into the Sense APK file yet but figure with live wallpapers working correctly i just got to figure out how to disable normal wallpapers in sense to make them work.

I havent worked at all on the market toggle, i figure since we can sideload the settings.db file and it works its very low on my care list. All i worked on today was stripping out what i didnt like and trying to make a nice clean rom that had all the default files i wanted in it (google voice, pandora, etc..). Just happened to also play with the live wallpapers and found it worked on the way home when i tried a new launcher.

If you make a zipfile of the livewallpaper files and post them, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah all the files are on my work machine so I will do that in a bit later. Will put it into a zip able to be recovered into an existing rooted aria so anyone can add them.

Update file for adding LWP to Aria
6/28/10 - Updated to allow LWP in the Sense UI
* This assumes you have your phone rooted and have access to the Clockwork Mod to allow updating your phone with unsigned zip files *
1.) Put the file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod
4.) install zip from sdcard (option 5)
5.) choose zip from sdcard (option 2)
6.) Click on the file you downloaded and put on your sdcard
6a.) If you run into an error when installing shut off your phone,, unplug it from the USB cable, then reboot it back into Clockwork Mod and start again from step 2
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system
8.) Upon reboot you can now choose Live Wallpaper in the wallpaper options
*Issues*
The only issue that I know of at this time is you have to use the settings/personalize/lock screen wallpaper option in order to change the lockscreen wallpaper
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.
*Files*
Clean install of the LWP packages
Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP
Update install of the LWP packages
Select this if you used the previous version with LauncherPro and Home Switcher. This will remove those packages and update to the Sense Enabled LWP.
Thanks! I just flashed it and it works great. There's Absolutely no loss with performance with it either.

* if this file downloads under a different name just rename it to aria-lwp.zip, first time using Mediafire *
Ok lets see if this works =)
1.) Put the aria-lwp.zip file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod using the rooting methods in the how to root your aria thread
3.) Go to the Partitions Menu and select the first option (mount /system)
4.) Go back to the main menu and choose to install a zip file
5.) Choose the option to install a zip from the SD Card
6.) Click on the aria-lwp.zip file
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system.
8.) Upon reboot the home menu should pop up asking you to choose which home menu to launch. Choose the LauncherPro option.
9.) Go into the wallpaper options and choose your live wallpaper, it should work with no issues.
10.) Set up your new launcher, refer to any Launcher Pro threads for more info on this nice replacement launcher.
At anytime you can use the home switcher program to go back to the HTC Sense launcher if you want to use that instead. Same with setting up which launcher is used by default when you press the home button.
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.

Any chance we'll ever get this working in Sense?
Well, that didn't work.
I am still getting force quit
I might needs to do a clean flash.
Ok, I got stock to run, but I also want to get rid of the lockscreen and make it default as well. Any ideas?
Ok, reflashed with the clean install and it worked.

[Q] HELP I did not read before installing Gingerbred Keyboard

1st let me say that I am tired of not having 2.2 and not having things work with 2.1. Yes i know I did not read feel free to point and laugh. I have don't be best to find a fix before posting but can't find a fix.
I installed new gingerbread keyboard from the fallowing article and link. http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/06/download-gingerbread-keyboard-for-rooted-devices/
Ok so I now have the voicesearch force close message.
I reinstalled the LatinIME.zip from post one from the fallowing article.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8606369#poststop
This installs and the phone boots but still force close for stock keyboard.
Please advice on if I can fix this. I don't have root file explorer. If i must learn to use ADB now would be a good time for me to get my feet wet.
If you are lucky, someone with dev experience might pop on and tell you how to reset your keyboard from a shell. I have no clue whatsoever.
If I had your problem, I would either do a fresh rom install like black hole or super clean with a data clear, or I would try to troubleshoot if I were in the right mood.
To do the latter, I would open up the update that messed me up, and look at the files involved or possibly even the install script. Once I recognized the install package for the keyboard, I would open a shell (or root explorer) and ls /system/app and /data/data. If o found any matches... I would probably delete them (well knowing that I might brick my phone). I would only even consider this risk if o knew I had two keyboards installed. Then I would cross my fingers and reboot.
Shyeah right. Actually I would just restore a backup with cw recovery and call it a day.
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
Maybe try downloading and installing a new keyboard from/with Rom Manager? Sonofskywalker3 has a few keyboards on there to install. I'm pretty new myself but thats what I'd try.
or do what soba said and install a fresh rom with a data/cache wipe.
I've installed GB keyboard and it works fine for me. Stock DJ05.
I would try simply disable it in the settings.
What exactly you do to get FC?
I installed a 2.1 APK and it went fine. I just lost my original keyboard. No Biggie.

[Q] Liberty 2.0.1 Epic Blue Theme Issues.

All.
My appologies if the fix is somewhere through this wonderful maze of knowledge. I have recently updated to a donated version of Liberty 2.0.1. I love this ROM. I have also themed to the amazing Epic Blue theme. Running Launcher Pro Plus with very little other mods or tweaks. My issue is that everytime I apply the theme, my Market app breaks. I can no loner find it in my app drawer and the short cut on home screens is there but doesn't work. Then I try to reinstall it via another theme or by file manager it still will not install. I'm still rather new to ROMs, but have technical knowledge. Any guidance on how to reinstall the market app will be appriciated. Right now the only way to get it back is to really store a backup or wipe everything and really flash which as you all know is time consuming.
If you go to settings > applications > manage applications, is it in the list under all?
Thanks for the reply. No. That's strange right? Its now where. The only thing I can think is its because I have a custom icon for it on the dock using launcher pro plus. But, if that where true them all apps like this would act the same right?
Im pretty sure the marketis not installed on your phone. I have two ways to get it back:
1. Using root explorer, go into one of the themes and copy the market app into /system/app. Then install it
2. Google search 38 themed markets. It should be the first site. Download one, and flash it in CWM.
Hey man, stetsonaw from DF (aka the creator of EpicBlue).
It seems you downloaded my OLD version of the theme, which breaks markets, that WAS in the Liberty Toolbox.
Here's what you do.
-Install Liberty without wiping data (wipe cache and dalvik cache)
-Verify the market is now there
-head over to DF and grab my new and more epic version of the theme (google EpicBlue Liberty, you have the discontinued one, grab the proper one for your X)
-make a backup
-install theme
oh, and take two, call me in the morning

me too running taboonay 2.1
i have this problem too - and it seems others have too according to the taboonay thread...there are quite a few solutions that have been posted including
- deleting your market gmail account and setting up a whole new one,
- downgrading to 1.0.28
- upgrading to 3.1.5/3.1.6
- installing apps thru the website
- updating the rom to 2.2
- downgrading back to 2.1
- wiping caches, reflashing etc
but nothing has worked for me unfortunately tho i havent reflashed (yet)
I see someone has posted a new market version 3.3.11 so i'm about to try that, so i'll let u know how it goes in a few ticks!!
ok, its working...for now
right, this is what i did -
backed up!
cleared market data via settings>manage apps, cache was already mt
rebooted
d/l 3.3.11 from here and installed.
now, after i opened it had to do the 'accept' thing and then tried to d/l a game. I got a dialogue asking which application i would like to use and the choices were:
a) com.google.android.finsky, or
b) com.android.vending
i wasn't sure which one so chose a) and got an error "device not compatible" turns out "finsky" was my original market 1.0.28, so -
used the shortcut for 3.3.11 and voila i'm all sweet, woohoo!!!!
i wouldnt be sure that this is "solved" but it is working - i also have 2 market
shortcuts in my apps list and both versions showing in root explore and titanium
unsure as to whether i can uninstall orig. market
but for the moment i think i'll leave things as they are good luck
I am on a 3.2 stock rom and have the same issue. I have tried some of those above mentioned solutions except changing rom and different market app (I am not rooted so I can't try that) and none worked.
I have sent an email to market support and they are looking to it. But I guess 4.0 will be here before they find a solution.

Usually I find the way to fix this problem is to replace vending.apk in your app folder with a compatible one. You need root to do this, as it involves deleting/renaming a file in the system.

[Q] My apps are not showing in the market. Any suggestions?

I recently flashed Liberty 2.0, and restored my device using TB Pro. My apps were reinstalled, but they do not show in the market under "My apps." So I don't know what's been updated, etc. I've cleared the cache and data for the Market application, tried the Market Doctor included with TB Pro, I've even wiped cache partition in Recovery. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions? Is it time to wipe it all and start over? Thanks in advance!
Is Liberty 2 what you're truly using...
The one on froyo kernel?
If not...you're on LIBERTY 3 v2.0
Either way.
Seems like a build.prop issue.
This may be a documented problem in the rom...but I kinda' doubt it.
Jrummy/Kejar are pretty reputable hack-er-up rom builders.
Try flashing the rom on top of itself.
Or if you really don't want to do that...
Using root explorer or equivalent to manually move a fresh build.prop into place (with the correct permissions.)
Thanks for the reply! It is on the GB Kernel, Liberty 3 version 2.0. I pulled the 2.0 out of the Liberty Settings/ Mod version. I tried pulling the build.prop from the .zip for the ROM to replace build.prop on the device. No luck.
The other interesting thing that I meant to include earlier is that it only happens on my main google account. I have 3 on the phone, and of course the only one that's not showing apps is the main one I use. Here's a screenshot of what I get.
I'm not excited about reflashing, so any other ideas are greatly appreciated. I know I might have to bite the bullet on this one though. Thanks again!
I also meant to suggest you check that you were logged in with the correct account.
That's a pain in the ass...I hope you resolve it.
Are you sure your main account was the one linked with your purchases?
