How About Apps2Sd - Hero CDMA General

just wondering if anyone has tried app2sd with the cmda version, getting my wife a sprint hero and was just wondering what is availble for it before we go buy it. Me personally Dream G1

No, root would be required, and is not possible currently with the CDMA Hero.

yup apps2sd works great

can you explain on how it works and how you install it?

its on the market appstosd, you can use that to format your card or you can do it manually either using the ported command or any gui.
then the app takes it from there

If you install a recovery image then that can do it for you as well. As for the apps2sd apk on the market. I had tried that but it didnt work. And when I try to follow the directions from the Dream forum that I used to follow I need Busybox. I try to install that and it doesnt work. How did you get apps2sd working?

I made a script for this a long time ago for the g1 ill try to find it

That would be awesome but does it need Busybox? That's the problem I am having. I can follow the old instructions to the t but without busybox I cant seem to do any of them.

I can't get it to work via the appstosd aol on the market. Nore can partition my 8th class 4 as card using this app. Should I just use gparted the try it. What size should the ex2 partition be?

Anyway to get this working. Ive rooted my phone and the app from the market is not working at all. Any ideas?

Same here, no dice. Blah.

im trying to get it to work now ive been messing with it if i get it ill make a guide

I installed the MDC rom, and then installed ApptoSD, worked perfectly. I know that I didnt have to use the app with the new rom, but this way I didnt have to reinstall all my apps...

Im not looking to flash any roms right now. I'm good with the stock one. If we can get the ext2 partition to mount it should work maybe?

any updates on this?

I was wondering that myself. I would like to use appstosd but don't want to install the MoDoCo stuff.

Any news on this? I also would like to use apptosd but don't want to use a custom rom.

Metamorph

I am running a rooted Eris flashed with Lightning Bolt Eris version 2.8 (ELB 2.8), I downloaded and installed busybox successfully, but when I try to use Metamorph it force closes on me. I also used CacheClear and ATK to wipe out all running apps and cache on the device, and rebooted phone attempting to use MetaMorph and it force closes on both the "Pick Existing Theme" button and "Unzip/Extract New Themes" button. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Metamorph several times now with no luck Any assistance?
same thing happens for me too....
and what sucks is i think i read that noone can get any of the devs to respond about it...
lol I garauntee 50 people come in here and yell at you for that comment against the devs.

Well not that I am a dev, but metamorph was recently updated, tried it on my wifes phone got same FC issue. Try to find version 1.9.8.6 I am using this with no problems....and be nice to the devs.
FYI this thread belongs in the App and themes section.

i meant the devs of the app... not devs in general... and i am grateful for any and all work devs on these forums do... but (unless i was reading wrong or skimming too fast) people were trying to get some feedback about what was going on with it but noone was replying...
im not trying to bash at all... i was just stating what I saw (although i tried looking for the thread i was reading and i cant find it now...)
Im just hoping it gets fixed... im a new... well... new again rooter and I would like to play around with MM...

Okay, so if I can find the older metamorph version it should work fine? I appreciate the info and will give it a look-see. Sorry bout posting in wrong thread, I'm relatively new to this forum. If the devs of the app could still kindly look into the one that is available in the market....it would be much appreciated as well. Thanks much!

found old version
i found an old version, search "metamorph apk". it should be the second link down. its in the hero forum. i'd link it, but i'm new here...and i can't put links yet in my posts....
i just installed it on aloysius 2.0 v12 and applied a theme, works great.
hope this helps, just make sure you allow nonmarket apps to install...but i'm sure you knew that.

I did as you said, but now instead of Force close, I get please install andexplorer. I have both Astro and Andexplorer on my phone and it still gives me that and won't activate. Any suggestions?

odd....cause i have es file explorer and andexplorer on mine and it works. try uninstalling andexplorer, run metamorph and let it not find it, then install andexplorer and run metamorph again.
or remove both astro and andexplorer. run metamorph, install andexplorer, run metamorph again, then install astro.
or uninstall all three and reinstall one at a time, with metamorph, then andexplorer, then astro?
it shouldn't have anything to do with astro, but i don't use it and thats the only difference between yours and my set up.

After a little bit more experimentation, I was able to solve this dilemma. Turns out Apps2SD was the culprit. MM would only work if Andexplorer was saved on the internal storage of the eris, rather than the SD card. Once I moved to internal storage, MM works fine now ^_^. Thanks again for the assistance

sure! no problem. i don't use app2sd right now, so i didn't even think of that. by the way, the version that i found only supports .thm files. i just found this out...i tried to apply a theme using the .xml file and it wanted a .thm file. oddly, i got the free version in the market to work, cross my fingers it stays that way. if any of the mm themes you want to apply only have .xml files, try uninstalling the old metamorph and then installing the one in the market. if the new version works, great..and you can use any of the new/old themes that have xml's. if not, you're stuck with any old theme that uses .thm.
reading some of the comments on the market...it seems like a hit and miss. some fc, some don't...
found a solution!!!
if you need to get a good busybox download Titanium Backup...
and then what i'm assuming i did to get the newest Metamorph working was... install the old Metamorph.apk from the Hero forum and then install the new Metamorph from the market... you can delete the old one once you have the new one installed
i flashed a new lockscreen with it... everything worked great!

yea, i guess the old metamorph install leaves behind some framework for the new install to use. i guess we'll have to see if this method works for more people, as it so far only worked for you and i. users will need to use the new version in the market, since it can handle xml and the old one in the hero forum is only thm. lots of themes now are xml i think...

hmmm...what rom are you using? try installing the old one, apply a morph, and install the new on right on top. if that doesn't work, nand restore and install the old one, apply a morph, uninstall old apk, then download and install new apk.
Does anyone have the apk for the old version...?
can't find it looked everywhere (the free one)

Stock 2.1 build.prop fingerprint

I have a rooted Aria running a stripped down stock rom. Unfortunately, this has some unwanted side effects on the android market. Does anyone have the factory fingerprint lines from the boot.prop file?
Mine is:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/1.25.502.12_192055:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=1.25.502.12
This is from the rock-stock HTC rom from htc.com:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/179042:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=1.25.502.2
I have one (I assume you meant build.prop) from Liberated Aria r012 that works fine in the market:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/179042:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=Liberated Aria R012 (US)
If you don't like that, there is another thread in this forum where Attn1 has posted the stock roms that you can unzip and get that file.
Yes thank you, that's what I needed. It looks like the liberated rom I am running has an update to fix this issue for me, r012. Which is good because I couldnt get any of my apps to mount /system in r/w mode. Unfortunately, new rom don't seem to fix this for me, still can't see square on the market... Must be something to do with the date wipe requirement. Need to find out how that works.

You need to wipe market data. You can use Titanium backup. You can mount /system r/w from recovery only.
bkmo, your the man (twice, once for the other post! ! Downloaded the free version of titanium, selected the market app for backup, deleted all data and it worked like a charm! Excellent advice, none of the other methods were working for me!
Hurray!
Using the following instructions and the old Aria fingerprint from here I was able download protected apps from the market again. I did need to reboot my Aria into recovery mode to move the build.prop file and clear the Market app cache before it worked though.

Someone should make an app for this (and that would remove it when its finally fixed for real), just like the Eris Market Fix app.

Android Market update to 2.2.11 out

Just today hit my Evo, i'm sure everyone else should be getting it as well.
I didn't even see it coming. It just updated on its own...cool.
Sent from my precious Mynion Eva
Anyone have a zip of this, right now my market is borked, can't get one to flash, though i know i could just flash gapps all over again, but i really don't want to to that, though there is nothing wrong with doing that.
You *should* be able to just copy the APK to your sdcard, then run it via a file manager like Root Explorer. That'll apply the update.
If it doesn't work... You're more than welcome to try CM7, flash the 1/14 gapps, then install the update. Worked perfectly for me.
Installed fine here
from my phone duh
ALL u have to do is resign it use signapktic n it should install fine then

Shouldn't. What ROM/gapps are you running? I got mine to work based off the CM7 1/14 gapps, followed by downloading the above APK and installing it from Root Explorer.
If it doesn't work check the box that allows you to install programs from unknown sources... Try that and see if it works

[Q] Download Unsucesful? Manual Nooter 4.5.6

So.....the main page says that the Download Unsuccesful has been fixed as of 4.5.6.
It's so obviously NOT fixed. I've tried doing the whole SD card thing. I managed to get a few apps downloaded and installed the first day....after that NOTHING will install from the market. It ALL says download unsucessful.
So what am I doing wrong? I don't have a PC that I can install an ADB on at the moment, that'll come in a week or so. But I would like to know what everyone else is doing to keep it working.
Having no problems on two of them here. Try the market visibility fix anyway and make sure that you can connect to google talk (the market needs that).
Tried Google Talk, that worked just fine...and I had already done the Market visablity fix, and that didn't work either.
I just don't get it.

What happens if I re-root? Would it mess my installed apps or are there any risks?
I already have ROM manager installed on my manual nooted 1.2. Can I boot to CWM from there and re-root?
The odd thi g is now Im getting some apps to install. A winzip type app and ezPDF both installed from the market.
Does it have to do with installing ON the SD card?

What do you mean by installing "ON" the SD Card?
I meant the app being installed ON the SD Card instead of the main memory.

Noob mistake. desperate for help

Ok, so I installed Droidsail to try and move my large games to SD card on my S4 to free up some space.
It didnt work, so I uninstalled it. before I uninstalled it I had changed a setting to 'install new apps on SD card'
Now I'm getting an error: Insufficient Storage Available whenever I try to update or install an app.
This includes trying to re-install Droidsail to fix the setting.
I also tried to install Rom Toolbox, and I successfully installed that!
But superuser is out of date so I cant use it to change the setting
Cant update superuser... see error above.
So does anyone know a way to install an app completely manually? Not involving clicking 'install' at all? or another fix?
Can you flash to stock?

Go to the development section and use the search function to find the stock factory ROM and directions to install it. I also suggest you take a lot more time to learn about Android (and the S4 in general) before you do anything else. Good luck.

8 minutes between my suggestion of going to the development section and searching you replying you couldn't find it isn't a very good attempt.
However, you need to restore your phone to the original factory firmware that is supplied by Samsung for the AT&T S4 (i337). There most definitely is a complete thread about this in the Development section. Take a little time and you might find it. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you are not willing to take a little time to look for information and learn about your phone you are only going to screw it up worse.
I doubt you are an idiot (as you stated you might be), I just think you need to learn a little about how these phones work before you end up with a really expensive brick. Good luck.
Try Kies (just as bad an app as iTunes lol)
