Hey guys, I've been messing around with this whole android thing for a couple of nights but can't find out how to get the dang market to open. Everytime I push it to open, it pulls up then closes right back. I'm using the most updated basefiles and the heroblend themed donut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578627&highlight=market. Please help me so I don't have to go back to touchflo. Thanks

ok i just installed superhero v2..how and where do i get both the htc and goodle widgets?? please help!!
also the apps im trying to download wont start downloading..any ideas why not??
or will be so kind to send me there zip file..I HAVE LOOKED AND SEARCHED ITS ALOT OF HERO BS THATIM NOT LOOKING FOR!!
Don't think you've searched hard enough, but I'll help ya out.
The widgets should be there if you just add them to the home screen, using the plus button on the bottom right.
An inability to install apps from the Market sounds like the permission problem that some people run into, which you'll need to run from the console or from a terminal.
Havent changed anything since i loaded Ion, but all of the sudden when i am browsing the marketplace and find an app I want and try and install it, I click install, and it never does, it just gets stuck trying to start the download. It also does not appear in the task bar like it used to.
Any ideas.
No one????
yeah im getting this problem now too using donut builds... back to sensui i guess
I finally took the plunge and rooted/loaded a new ROM on my wife's phone. Everything went smoothly and I figured that the best/easiest choice for a new ROM would be the CyanogenMod ROM 6.0 that just came out.
Since I loaded the new ROM, I've noticed a few things that I hope someone can help me fix.
First, one of the main reasons that I wanted to load the ROM is so I could get rid of that Amazon Mp3 app. The Froyo ROM I installed still had it
Also, I've noticed that when I try and rotate the screen, it takes several seconds (some times close to a minute) to actually rotate. This mainly happens right when I unlock the phone.
My wife says that the option to have separate tones play when an e-mail comes in vs an SMS has gone away. I haven't played with it, so IDK about this. She just wants to know if the message received was an email or a text.
There were some other things, but I don't remember what they were, so if I remember I'll post. But those are the big ones. If there is anything I can do to fix them, let me know please! Also, if there is a better, smoother, faster ROM for MT3G 1.2 than the CYGN 6.0, I wouldn't be opposed to reflashing.
Thank you for any help!

Let's start off by moving this to General.
The best way to remove a system app (Yes, Amazon MP3 is considered a system app) is by installing Titanium Backup and using that app to remove any system app that you don't want installed. I used it recently to remove Street View (Street.apk) and I was able to install the newest version from Market after a reboot.
There should be no reason why it would take any more than a couple of seconds to rotate your home screen. How many widgets and shortcuts do you have? Try locking the Launcher app to memory. That may help.
SMS notification:
SMS app, Settings, check Notifications, Notification Settings, Select Ringtone
Gmail notification:
Gmail, Settings, check Email notifications, Select ringtone
Email notification:
Email, Settings, check Email notifications, Select ringtone
Thank you! Sorry for posting in wrong forum. I debated General and Android... should have gone General!
As per the homescreen, I believe she only has 2 widgets: Analog Clock and some task killer widget. IDK if the task killer widget is the root of the problem, but I will have her remove it and see if that fixes it. I also don't know how to check if it is using a lot of system resources. Is there some kind of Taskmgr app that will tell me if that app is a resource hog?
Thank you for your response!
That Task Killer Widget. Oh My, that is one resource hogger. I tried it on my Tilt with Froyo ... it hogged up badly . I gave up, and got me a new myTouch 3G 1.2 off ebay.
Ok, I got the sound thing all working (really easy. Should have looked b4 I asked) But the rotation is still really slow
I was given a Droid to help develop a mobile application recently, and even though it has similar specs to the MT3G, and the same OS version, there is not lag in the screen rotation. I've installed most of the same apps on the Droid and still there is no lag.
Is there something else that could be causing the lag? Any thoughts?
Thanks
Have you uninstalled task killer yet? they actually do way more harm than good.
Froyo on Mt3g 1.2?
Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I thought the only Froyo images for MT3g 1.2 were buggy at best and didn't support wifi or camera, among other things.
A guy I work with just put Froyo on his G1 and says it works faster than Eclair. I want in on that action!
As a MT3G user, I've found that the 6.0 Rom from CY is horrible with a Mytouch sadly. It's the rom not agree'ing with the Mytouch that is the problem, not the phone.
I'd suggest the 6.1 RC1 Mod from Cy, or this linked Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814142
I've had no problem with the linked rom working for me. I had some minor issues with the RC1 not recieving all my texts, though honestly I upgraded my radio at the same time as changing over to the new Rom, so I'm not sure if it was the ROM or the Radio.
I rooted my new Epic last night using the one click root. I then deleted most of the bloatware and my phone was working fine. I may have deleted a couple of apps that I needed though accidentally. The two problems I am having are that my android market app won't open and whenever I do a hard restart of the phone my home screen apps get cleared. When I click on the Market app it flashes to a white screen for less than a second and goes to the home screen. I have tried downloading new vendor.apks and it still won't work. Any help for either of these two issues is greatly appreciated.
Try to use odin to flash a fresh di18. Search around for a thread with a tutorial (there are a lot of the, just search epic 4g back to stock or fix brick (I know your not bricked)) If this helped please hit the thanks button! Please post problems with fixing in the return to stock tread .

Thanks for the tip. I might try this if I can't figure it out soon. The only downside about this is it will wipe my contacts out right?

Your contacts should be synchronized with Google. Unless they're stored on the phone itself, they should be fine.
A large portion of pages loading using the stock browser are loading between half to 3/4 and then hanging.
I am running myns warm 2.2 rls 5 and from what I have read researching this problem is that this probably has to do with the feature that disables ads.
Can anyone confirm is this is my problem? If so, how do I fix it?
Thanks
I was seeing the same thing in Austin, TX yesterday. The problem persisted in Warm and Miui, even after reprovisioning. I think it was a Sprint data problem. All is well today.
It's the adfree app that's pre-loaded. Evidently, there has been an update that didn't run because it's preloaded. Get Adfree from the Market, install, open, hit revert. Worked for me. Later on, I went back in to the app and hit update just to see and it still works. No ads and running just as snappy as always. Hope that helps you.
If you want to stop it altogether, there is instructions in Myn's thread. Somewhere in the last 50 pages or so.
Also seeing this in Austin TX with Sprint Lovers. I guess it seems like a service issue. I'm still seeing it today.

This was the problem, thanks a lot. I am fixed.
Good luck to you guys in TX.
I'm still having that issue as well on RLS5...but I also have an issue with mobile data just disconnecting and the icon disappearing even though mobile data always on is checked. I think I need to reflash the rom. Any other suggestion anyone?
I wanted to say I'm in Austin and my phone was doing the same thing and my girlfriends wasn't, my phone is rooted(latest sprint lovers) and hers is not, and yes it was the ad free. I did the above recommendation and it is snappy again. Thx
Im having the same issue with RLS 5 (was about to post a new thread ). I'll try the recommended fix above to see if that makes a difference. It makes sense based on how my browser seems to be loading, some pages its fine, other pages, like news sites with a lot of ads, it will usually hang for a long time or not load fully. Ill report back results.
Seemed to work for me. If I uninstall AdFree now, will it remove it from the ROM altogether or will it still be hardcoded into Myn's ROM and Ill run into the same problem again?
FYI this was also KILLING my HULU app. It would either take forever to load, or just load a white screen. I thought Flash was hosed. But seems to be fine now.
