I used z4root to root my gf's hero and installed titanium backup , backed everything up and deleted some bloat ware . I was careful only deleted stuff like sprint nascar , football , IM , facebook and gtalk , stuff she never uses and now I can't download from the market just gets stuck at starting download .
I also get a gapps error and force close the only google app I deleted was gtalk , Titanium won't restore it or the other preinstalled apps . I would like to install gtalk apk but she doesn't even have astro or similar and can't download it .
any help is appreciated thanks

Yep, deleting gtalk did it. Go get a copy of the gapps from the cm thread, flash that, or pull the gtalk apk out of it and install it.

Thanks for the response
What's the cm thread ? And how do I install it without file manager
Swyped from my EVO
Get Astro or any other file manager, download the .apk file to the sdcard and select it from the file manager. It should prompt you to install it...
If not, read up on adb and you should be able to install it that way...

CyanogenMod thread. You'll have to use adb. There is a thread somewhere on how to push apk's with it. I'm not sure. Sorry.

Or you could just ruu and reroot. That would most likely be the easiest. You can find the 2.1 ruu floating around here somewhere or I think you can get it at sprint.com.

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?

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.

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)
Just today hit my Evo, i'm sure everyone else should be getting it as well.

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

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

Im having a problem with my mytouch 4G. I rooted my phone the other day and all was going well, then I decided to delete some of the factory apps that I dont ever use. well.. Im guessing I deleted an app or apk. file that I needed, because now I cant change themes, when I click on "themes" it just gives me this error "Unable to find an activity to handle this action" I was thinking it might have to do with the "my modes.apk" but im a noobie at all of this so im really not to sure and im looking for help from the big dawgs.. lol... Here are some steps I have already tried taking. I tried restoring it by doing a system reset, well after doing so I realized I didnt do a backup ugh!! So.. I found the factory rom and tried flashing it so that it would install the apps. or apk. files that im missing... I thought that would be the easiest solution, just to start fresh. When I started I re-downloaded the terminal emulator so I that I could flash the factory rom, but now it wont give me "su" permissions it says "permission denied" again nothing! and noticed I didnt have the Superuser permission app. so I downloaded it off the market thinking maybe it would help but its just black like its not detecting anything. why? that this point I tried dropping the rom zip into the root and booting in reboot mode, I noticed it said wrong img. and didnt do nothing. Am doing something wrong? Other then this my phone works like a champ. Thats why I am asking if anybody can send me the "My Modes apk. file from there my touch 4G. PLZ!!!

Yes, the my modes app controls your themes in stock rom so you need it if you want to switch themes.
If you flashed the TMOUS rom to fix the missing apps problem, you unfortunately unrooted your phone. That's why superuser app isn't responding. There is a nandroid of a stock install which would have been better to use as it wouldn't have undone root. That's too late, it sounds. You need to re-root after flashing TMOUS rom. All should be ok after that.
Sent from my HTC Glacier
no.. I was still rooted after I deleted but I have fixed my problem. I was being dumb and wasnt installing the right superuser app. lol, so after doing so I got super user permissions and just flashed the phone back to the factory rom. thanks for the suggestion anyway.
I just wanted to know what actually goes in this folder because when i download something music or files from the internet they don't go to the new download folder that is already on android 2.3.3 they go to my sd card. I just want to know how to use that folder because i would love to put all of my downloads in one area that i can quickly get too??
I don't think the stock download manager works in CM7. Every file I try to download completes, then says "Download Unsuccessful"

Ah! I was thinking it was my phone! Why do you think this is?
Native Android is built on the feeling (googles feeling not mine) that android does not need a file manager. When you flashed those older roms...there was never a file manager right? Always had to install third party... and in Froyo when CM finally put in that basic filemanager that basically went against googles unspoken belief that we should not need to be downloading thousands of megabytes of content.
There's a reason why there's no file manager in AOSP. On one hand you have the deterrent...(no file mgr) and you have the provocation (with file manager). We cause a lot more trubble with one than without. Its akin to giving a cool dude a big fat spliff and then saying..."don't smoke that ok?"
Download unsuccessfuls started with CM7. Its a gingerbread "bug" or is it a feature? Regardless of what Google has in mind....we at xda will just keep on keepin on! I would think that the download manager may be like a censor... "what's coming down in here..oh ****..its a freaking miui rom! No no no get outta here" and then it puts the gag on the dl. So we may need to find out for sure and silence or take the censor to the Hague and try it for war crimes. Or whatever.
If I download things through opera it works fine.
Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.
It works for me as long as I download from the stock browser. But I don't use the stock browser I use Dolphin mini. It's kind of useless to me. Is it up to the app developer to tie it to the download folder or do I have to do something to make it work correctly?

Update: 11/20/11 Unofficial Market update which brings it to Version 3.3.12. Better integration with the Music market. You can now download free music and purchase music as well. Sorry U.S.A. only for free music (?)
How to install: download apk and install like any other apks.
http://db.tt/0j3ii5Oq
Here is the latest (leaked?) update of the Market which brings it to version 3.3.11.
And here's how I installed it: I am currently on CM7 nightlies
Download .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk)
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access)
Move New Market .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk) to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first)
Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) older market .apk (Vending.apk) to your sdcard
Rename new market as Vending.apk
Fix Permissions (rw--r--r)
Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot
Done! Whew...
OR...
Download .apk
Rename New Market .apk to "Vending.apk" (w/o the quotes)
Install just like any other apllication
Reboot (if necessary)
*I didn't get the chance to try the second option so it may or may not work, but it kinda made sense...
**not sure if (Vending.apk) is the same name for SENSE ROMS (I don't remember) but just make sure to rename it the same way...
FOR MORE INFO... MARKET 3.3.11
Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. Have you tested and confirm that you can buy a new app with this new market apk?

Try and clear "market" data through the application settings and reopen the market. See if that worked...

It won't install for me. It keeps saying application not installed. If I use root explorer to place the .apk in the /systems/app folder I just get force closes. Clearing data doesn't help either. I have downloaded it several times thinking it was a corrupted download. I'm at wits end here. I have done everything in this post even before I read it as I have updated to all the other previous market releases without issue.
But for some reason this one just doesn't work. I thought maybe it wasn't working on cm7.1 nightli or or the evo shift but some of you have it working so that isn't it. Let me redo this and maybe format cache and dalvik see if that helps.

did you rename the .apk of the new update?
I had zero issues with the new Market. I just installed it like any other .apk. The new Market is very nice. Many small noticable differences. Like when on the My Apps page and you switch accounts it leaves you on the My Apps page instead of reloading the whole damn Market. Overall new Market is definitly an improvement and Vicodan should stop being such a hater

I did try that, but no luck. I'll probably just ignore it until the next time I flash a ROM. Then it'll fix itself, so that's fine. I imagine it's only going to be a few days until I do that anyway.

Titanium Backup can restore all your Market links. I believe there's also other apps designed just to do that too. Use TB or search for an app that restores Market links.

If your use titanium backup to restore or install your apps go into the settings and use market doctor. This will fix missing links to apps in the market that you have installed.
