Downloaded 2.2 but cant find flash player in market.

Hi I downloaded the manual update file on my wifes phone. It installed fine but I cannot find the flash player beta 3. Is anybody else having this issue? I tried wiping but that didn't fix the issue.

Its in the phone
You will not find flash in the market as 10.1 is included in the update. go to settings, applications, manage applications, click the "all" tab at the top and its magical froyo goodness (only 52kb to instead of the huge file). your welcome

Just realized that protected apps are not showing. Does anybody know why? I think I'm the only one having issues with 2.2 for evo.

Your right it is included in the install. A little different from the nexus one 2.2

Protected apps aren't working for me either. Here's my list of issues so far:
PRI is still 1.33 instead of 1.40
Protected apps not showing. About 10 of mine, and about half are paid too.
Browser seems to glitch a bit with Flash on, mostly when scrolling. Scrolling is slow and the graphics get kinda messed up.
Other than that, my 2.2 build seems great. Mostly I'd like to fix the PRI and especially fix the Market issue. Does anyone know at least a temporary fix?

Assuming you have the rooted 2.2 Froyo ROM.

Damn! Just when I think I don't need root for a while, I go and flash something that can only be fixed with root. LOL. Oh well, as long as its not the PRI issue, this won't be a problem for too long.

Droid 2 Update from 2.3.20 to 3.0.0

looks like 3.0.0 is out heres the link:
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/2...feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+DroidLife+(droid+life)
anyone try it out yet?

yea it works fine, root still works. Blur is still blur but its a little smoother and profiles is a good addition.

Quite possibly the ugliest launcher I've ever seen.

cool. yeah i must have heard that a million times. so if you do a back up are you able to just flash back to it? or do you have to sbf?

Safe bet would be SBFing. I don't see why restoring a previous backup would mess it up, but it might bootloop you.

It doesn't change the kernel does it? That would be the only way you would seriously **** something up by restoring a backup.

Don't think I would drop GummyJAR ROM for this "new blur".

It does install a new kernel. I made a backup in clockwork, flashed this and have gone back to my backup without issue.

It doesn't look like it changes the baseband, anyone who has installed this have you checked your bootloader version and kernel version? Anyone been able to SBF back after installing this?

Droidlife tested the 2.3.20 sbf and said it does work. Personally I'm gonna stick with custom roms on mine, I'm not having any issues and I can't stand any version of blur and its lag.

Write permissions - better method to root?
How does one go about getting root to set RW on the app dir? I have Root Explorer installed and running as SU...but I can't change to rename some of the stupid stock .apks.
FYI - I used Tears of a 1000 Unicorns to gain root.
Thanks!

PS: This ROM, as is, plays Xvid backups of your public domain video files!

the last two days have been "rom trial days" ..i loaded the new gummy, really liked it, then, after reading about the 3.0, i loaded & tried it. it really has a few nice things about it...but, decided this morning to go back to fission,,,,which i did, and "lost" the 3.0 upgrade..
but, knowing these guys, we'll soon have both gummy & fission w/the 3.0 update, so, Thank You Gentlemen for all your hard work...and, hey, do you remember the days when you used a phone to talk with? Wheeeeeeeeeeee

I'll continue waiting for Team Defuse to tear this one apart. I tried dealing with Blur again the other day, and I just can't stand it. It likes batteries.

I have been trying it out for the past few days and it seems alot better. Much smoother, I like the new swype design, has a built in task manager, profiles, a few other little things and the battery life is really good. I still run launcher pro over the stock blur but even that seems to run better.

Haha, i got a kick out of this. Yea those days seem so long ago I can barely recall them.
On another note it looks like the kernel might have been update as its a slightly different number than the one on my phone. Anyone know if anything has changed for better or worse with it?

I have a question.....is this gingerbread?
Thx!

No. Its the v3.0 of the motorola blur firmware (you are likely running v2.3.20 right now) and its basically a modified version of the Froyo 2.2 Android. In your phone info you will System version and Android version. This is a system update, not an android update.

I got it to work somehow. I'm guessing the various insignificant attempts and reboots solved something. I like the ROM a lot after getting rid of the usual bloatware.

Thanks for your help....Merry Christmas!

has anyone tried this and then gone back to a saved backup?

[SOLVED] Liberty 1.5 problems

I flashed liberty 1.5 on my gfs droid x. Now her camera doesn't work and the music player says it doesn't support the format for music she purchased from amazon mp3. Suggestions? Thoughts? I tried a full wipe to no avail
SOLUTION
I did a full wipe and flashed an update.zip (by materstock?/team black hat) that contained the latest ota updated radio, kernel, bootloader, etc...I was concerned that the kernel version appeared to be the same as before...hadn't bricked it yet (and would buy her the thunderbolt if I did) so pushed forward...
Reactivated phone with verizon and then tested camera and mp3. Works
"Honey, I flashed the stock moto software back to your phone - everything works now. Do you want to keep this or try liberty"
"Does this have blur on it?"
"Yeah..."
"I don't want blur"
I trained her well in the ways of droid, huh?
Long story short I reflashed liberty restored backed up apps and everything works. 1400 on quadrant..its not the 2800 I get on my g2 with cm7 but a good bit better than stock droid x (and undervolted too).

Was she on the 2.3.15 OTA update or 2.3.34 OTA. If her phone wasnt on the latest update then it may have some missing library files.

ive had one serious issue since installing liberty- it constantly will randomly reboot. ive had to switch to fission as fission is the only one that runs nicely for me with minimal blur but has the blur camera.

I installed 1.5 on day one. I'm also getting random reboots. Its only happened twice. Other than that best rom available! I'm already excited about next update!

HDMI Out
I love everything about this except I can't push the video out through the HDMI. Is there a work around or should it be working and I need to reflash?

To my knowledge none of the AOSP roms do HDMI out. I do believe at one point there was an app in the market that reportedly would send video out via HDMI, but I never used it.

i wish this would of worked for me. I tried everything to get 1.5 to work on my phone but have had nothing but random reboots. liberty 1.0 worked like a champ.
I tried the following loading my .340 rooted back up and loading liberty 1.5 , loading maderstock340 and loading liberty1.5 of course with doing a factory reset before loading liberty each time. My next try will be loading maderstock340, rooting, loading rom manager, and making sure i don't allow Google to load my backed up apps thats the only thing i can think of that might be causing an issue and has been done each time liberty 1.5 was loaded. If this don't work i will be forced to roll back to stock or look for another rom.
Any insight on what im trying would be greatly appreciated.
well it seems google automatically restores your apps when you do a factory reset.... Can any confirm that this might be the root of my issues?

Not everything blur is bad. There are a few blur apps that are just better than what is out there now or work better with the X IMO. Camera being one of them. That is what is so great about the Liberty Toolbox, makes it easy to add back the blur apps.

Helpp with Liberty
I recently just got Liberty. Only problem im having is with my contacts. Most of them got deleted except for the ones that were backed up to google, which was the ones i added while i owned my X. I gave up on restoring them but the rom wont even let me edit my contact pages...
Anyone know if how to fix this. Any help is appreciated!

You should have done a Vcard or .vcf back up to your sd card that way after you flash the new rom you can restore from the sdcard

[Q] What's the newest RUU that can be flashed w/ Root Achievable

I've had my EVO for a while, rooted and working great with Froyo 2.2 on it. My music player app required root to be installed (miui i think is the name) Earlier this year, I updated to GB and i've had nothing but problems. Still root, flashed an RUU on here that was rooted already.
Music player force closes randomly, facebook has connection errors, other apps force close for no apparent reason. Phone has gotten extremely sluggish even after wiping cache/deleting all texts. Basically, I'd love to know which is the newest RUU I can flash that's got root still. I want a clean fresh install and hopefully that will solve my problems.
I recently acquired an HTC HD2 for $100.00 from craigslist. Refurbished phone with WM6.5 on it. I got WP7 working on it and I'm jealous of how fast and smooth it is. Too bad WP7 couldn't work on our EVO's... alas, I doubt we'll ever see that day.

i love this...even after reading and searching (it appears) this one just rephrases the "big question"

3.70
Is the
Answer

As long as you're s-off, you can flash the official RUU and still maintain root. Search the threads in the dev section and download the 4.24 RUU and you'll be g2g. I just did it with my fiancee's and she still has root.
Yes Marty, I built a time machine out of a DeLorean.

Or you can just do a full wipe and flash the stock rooted rom (or any other rom) through recovery. If you like froyo more than gb, try something like Myn's Warm 2.2 or Sprint Lovers - they're pretty close to stock.
You can backup your apps/data with Titanium Backup, but don't restore any system stuff. I'd also advise against batch restoring your apps. Just restore apps as you need them and you'll be surprised how many apps you don't need and how much faster your phone will be.
If your phone still feels sluggish, try increasing the vm heap size to ~40-48. You can do so with the app "VM Heap Tool".

I guess that would be a lil easier to do than my suggestion eh?

Thank you all for the quick replies. I'm getting very close to just going with CyanogenMod again since it worked so good on my Hero.(Is it true they got 4G working?) I'm getting fed up with the force closes. A lot of them are related to superuser which is getting root priviledges from the OS, correct? I wonder if I could have S-off but somehow not be nand unlocked, could that be causing this issue or am I being dumb. (feel free to call me dumb, i'll admit average knowledge of mobile phone OS architecture)

I might have to make the switch to CyanogenMod... I'm sure it has less bloatware installed on it. I use ADWlauncher instead of Sense... not sure what else I'd be missing with the change
No.
I was under the impression when an app loads and needs SU priviledge, it communicates with the superuser app and is run under root permissions if approved. I try to run apps that require root and they crash at this step (which I thought was necessary) and then won't perform root functions. Was I mislead?
No. S-off is NAND unlocked.

Cool, I wasn't sure because I rooted so long ago, I forget the terms anymore. I should probably refresh myself with the basics of android modification.

[INFO] Reduce / Eliminate FCs (and perhaps reboots)

For those of you who are having FC's or reboot problems, I recommend trying this (on all roms):
clear cache / DC 3x
flash the rom form the sd card
immediately flash the rom again
Do all of this without rebooting. What ive noticed a LOT is that I often get curious issues with roms, and then I flash them again and dont get those issues anymore (--or, I get a different set of curious issues). Since i do everything else the same, it seems that it must have been the flash that was problematic. just as we have grown accustomed to wipe data multiple times to ensure a successful clear, we should also become accustomed to flashing (especially for larger files more prone to exhibiting problems) multiple times to ensure a clean and successful write.
I know there was a GB ram leakage problem with EG22/EH06 which was causing reboots, but even with these roms you shouldnt be experiencing FC's right out of the box. A lot of people have claimed to run EH17 without any reboots (or FCs) so you too should be able to experience it. Good luck all.
PS - If you have Journaling OFF, make sure your phone doesn't die due to lack of power! Keep it charged. Four times so far I've been thrown into the chaos of "The application Google services Framework has stopped unexpectedly," due to letting un-journaled phones die. Now, I just keep it on for data safety / integrity.

First. Good tip.
you'll probably get flamed for posting this in development though.

I brought the lighters, let's getm,,,,, oh, well damn, good tip man.

You know I have never had to flash anything twice and things go pretty well with my flashes for the most part but I do one thing that isn't usually mentioned. After I do all the wipes 3x (data cache dalvik) I go into mounts and storage and I format data cache and system. The data and cache obviously have already been formatted but none of the wipes ever touch system. The ROM script must do that I guess, but I figure why not play it safe and personally clean all the file systems... Works for me.

thanx for the tip man.....will try next time I flash a new ROM

this is what i did after seeingit in a post and mines is runnign goood so far ...question how do u know if journaling is on or off

great tip.. im about to try it RIGHT NOW.. I have wiped and reinstalled roms for the past 2 days now.. because I keep getting reboots and force closes.. even before I try to install any new apps.. im now on a rooted stock deodexed EG22.. that I just flashed about 2 hours ago.. I will now try a custom rom and fash twice and see how it works out for me..

This sounded interesting so I broke my vow not to flash gingerbread again until it was released. I decided to do everything differently than I had in all the previous installs and follow the OPs directions. I'm running EC05 rooted with CWM, so I downloaded the stock odex EH17 zip, followed the clearing suggestions in this post, and flashed EH17 in CWM. Flashed it twice as suggested. Flashed SU, and rebooted.
Long story short, after about 90 minutes it rebooted on its own.
Glad I made a nandroid backup before I started this, because I'm back on stock EC05 rooted again.

all gb roms will have fc's; this is just a procedure to make sure that the fc's you Do experience are caused by errors in the rom's programming as opposed to flashing errors =]
i too am on rking's ec05

I had great success with EH17 using the Tegrak config along with the EH17Plus Kernel. Also, I found that the only time I did get a reboot was when I was using the hotspot or wireless tether. But it only happened when the phone got hot and was NOT on the charger. No reboots at all when tethering if I had the phone plugged into the charger, or during any other usage. I recently went back to EC05 to use the SRF1.2 ROM. EH17's modem was a lot faster too, imo. Going back when more ROMs become available.
Also, I tried Hurricane but got fc's. I'll try it again with the doube flash. I liked it otherwise. Now that I think about it, I was flashing modems and started getting fc's on SRF1.2. But none after I flashed it again (double). So this may be the trick if you're having fc's.
