[Q] Aria FR007 + Swype = No Workie - HTC Aria General

Anyone been able to get SWYPE working? I've cleared cache, wiped data from the SWYPE app, reinstalled it, tried different versions - nothing but FCs...

My reply isnt very helpful, but I have it working on my Aria. Im running Liberated FR006, but I dont think there should be any difference between Swype working on FR006 and FR007

I just got the invite from Swype beta, and the keyboard's working perfectly fine. So I don't know why it isn't working for you?

It's working for me without a hitch on FR007. The only problems I can think of are either that some app is causing interference with Swype or the ROM itself. Maybe you should wipe and install FR007 again, install Swype first to see if it works and then slowly install everything else one-by-one.

I'm running fr007 also, no hitches for me either

Just reinstalled it on mine, FR007. I did have an issue a few days ago with it telling me I was using a version for a different device, but I deleted both the program and the installer and it worked. I'm in the beta if that helps

Think having other keyboards installed, but not "checked" would cause problems?
(NM - Wiped my other keyboards - still have the problem)

uninstall the app, and then uninstall the installer. and then reinstall.
if that doesnt work - do a clean FR007 image, cause I dont see others having the same issue?

I'm on fr007, Swype beta seems to be working fine. I got the email an hour ago for the download and am having no problems.

Mine is working fine on both FR007 and FR008. That is, until I re-boot the phone. Then when I go to the Swype keyboard (in any app that uses it), the keyboard appears fine, but the "swyping" aspect doesn't work at all. I can still "hunt and peck", but not swype the words. I then have to uninstall swype, and reinstall (starting from the user login, download, and all). It works fine until the next re-boot.
I still haven't figured out why it does this. I'm wondering if wiping all data associated with Swype would work. I assumed that a re-install would overwrite it, but could be wrong.
For those who have gotten it to work on FR008 (my preferred ROM), did you wipe all Swype associated data first?
Thanks
Dave

I know it seems stupid, but try running the Swype Tutorial. For some reason that is what has gotten Swype to "stick" as my default keyboard the last two times I've installed it. (Once on my Aria running CM 6.1 RC2 and the other time on my friend's Aria with a fresh FR008 install.)

does that to me now and then. install titanium backup, make sure swype is working normally, and do a backup. then when it stops working again just restore data with titanium. Stupid, but it works.

BetterBrowser force closes

Ok this might be in here already but I can't find it. I have a rooted G1 with cyan 4.2.14.1 and I recently did a data wipe. After, everything worked except my browser. It's Loccy's I have tried deleting all remnants of it and reinstalling it using the apk. I have tried to reinstall cyan. I have even gone into the davlik folder and tried deleting it that way. Nothing has worked so far. I downloaded Dolphin Browser and that works fine so I know it's nothing with the phone itself. I am lost for an answer if someone could help me I would appreciate it. Thanks.

[Q] Push install apps via market.android.com

I finally got round to watching the Honeycomb features video last night and logged on to market.android.com and tried the 'one-click-install' that should push the app to your phone over the magic of the internet and Androidism.
However it says it's been installed (on the web page) but my phone never receives notification of the app being installed and the app is not installed, so I'm thinking we need a certain version of the Android Market?
I'm running CM7.0 with the GAPPS for it, 2.2.7.
I only have the 1 android device and it's listed as it should be on the install page of any app.
Anyone else got it working?
Worked fine for me when I tried few days ago.

I found that apps pushed from the market.android.com website wouldn't be installed on the phone when running CM7 (I think around nightly #24-ish) but if I switched to a Sense based rom (nDAF's 1.7 based on BlaY0's B-0.7) then the apps would be received and installed. It looks like CM7 might not be compatible with pushing apps from the market web site, unless it's been sorted in more recent nigthly's. Might try it again and also with with CM6.1 when I get a minute.
EDIT:
OK, tried pushing Talking Tom Cat Free from the website but it isn't received on the phone with latest CM7 (nightly #33) and Market 2.2.11 intalled.
UPDATE:
It seems that, for me at least, apps push from the website ok with a clean install of CM7, i.e. data/cache wipe during intall or factory reset of exiting insatllation, but wont work with a restored backup of a pervious intallation. Suggests that it must be some sort of Cache thing?
Thanks going to try fiddle now
Went for a fresh install of cm7.0 that Ali released in early January and it's working now fantastic!
Glad to be of help.
I think it should work with any CM7 release as long as the data/cache is wiped. I had it working with the latest nightly release from yesterday. #33 I think. I might try restoring a older version and then selectively delete the cache from various apps to see if I can find the culprit.

[Q] Market disappears on rooted 1.2

Hey all,
Everytime I root my 1.2 device with manual nooter 4.5.6 (haven't tried .18), I get one download out of the Android Market. After that the Market.apk disappears from the system/app directory and I can no longer download apps. The end result of this is that I'm pretty much hosed. I've tried putting SU File Manager on to sideload apps, but it can't installed BusyBox because of the market problem, so no luck with that. I've reproduced this issue at least half a dozen times, using CWR to delete all the user data, re-registering the stock install, and then rooting again.
At this point I'm staying stock until I feel confident I can download more than one app from the market on a rooted device.
So, has anyone else experience anything like this, and if so, is there a solution?
I have this same problem. No solution yet.
It may be related to a download directory bug which has been fixed. I updated to MN4.5.18 over 4.5.6. Everything worked well untill a recent update to 4.5.25. The market crashed again. This issue seems not solved yet. So I had to flash back 4.5.18.
Same here - .18 works very well once you figure out you have to uninstall the apps that want to update and then reinstall clean to remove the chance of bootloops. I was considering doing a complete wipe again and flashing .25, but I've decided to stick it out with .18 until they get squared away.
Overall, MN4.5.18 kicks ass for all intents and purposes, and I'd suggest moving up to that.

flashing data in manage applications

Anyone else go into the app screen on manage applications and see all the data flashing and the buttons too. I have to exit and go back in several times to get a stable screen to be able to the clear data or cache
Any particular app, or all of them? Are you using Titanium, or running a custom ROM?
I've never seen this until last week. I flashed the Virtuous Unity ROM, then tried to restore ChompSMS via Titanium Backup. Chomp SMS kept giving me force closes. Going to that app in Manage Applications gave me flashing, non-responsive buttons like you described. Hitting the Back button, and selecting the app again, made the buttons behave normally. Restoring Chomp using Titanium kept giving me the same result, whether I restored with app data or not. Just uninstalling the app, and installing the original APK fixed the problem. Not sure if the Titanium backup data was somehow corrupted, or what. But it seems fine now, and I haven't noticed this issue with any other apps (including ones restored from Titanium).
If the app is not one where you need to keep the data, just uninstall the program and re-install, and see if that helps.
EDIT: I see from your other posts, that you are also on Unity. So perhaps its some bug or incompatibility in the ROM? It would help if you mentioned things like running a custom ROM, when asking about an issue.

Its a known issue with unity. I believe the sensation has exactly the same problem with the stock rom

Help, lost market updating Civato mix from c3 to c6.

I just updated Civato's c3 mix to c6. I did not do a full wipe reset ( I didn't want to reinstall everything) and have lost Market. I downloaded the vending.apk linked in his rom section and installed rebooted.
Still nothing.
Everything else works fine so far. I just keep getting "no application installed".
Other than reinstalling with a reset wipe, any ideas on fixing my mistake?
Thank You

Interesting. Just yesterday I had issues with my Phones Market app. Force Closes after it started. So I downloaded and installed the new market app. Here's where it got interesting.
Not sure if I deleted the old on the first attempt, or before the second attempt, but when I finished, I selected Market from the launcher "no application found". So I uninstalled all market apps. Installed the new, and from the launcher "no application installed" again! Checked my "apps" and the market icon worked! Had to delet the old icon from my launcher, and drop the new one there.
So my guess, is uninstall the old before installing the new. Remove all traces of it.
I did fix it.
I tried the Civato fix of renaming vending.apk and dlding another placing it in system/app and rebooting. No luck. I tried installing the app manually and received the "no application found" warning.
Luckily I had one sitting in Titanium backup. It reinstalled an older version and I did have to delete the old icon.
Just strange that it would not install the way it should.
Yeah, I remember reading about it in that roms thread. Seems to be a rom specific issue with it. Glad you're up and running.

I know and sorry for the trouble , it has got something to do with the 3.1.6 and 3.2 Market. If you install that version it is hard to revert back to the original A500 market (1.0.28) without doing a full wipe.
I posted it on my thread , that it is better to stay with old market , make a NANdroid backup and then flash the rom with new marked to check it out if you like it.
I'm really sorry for your trouble , I didn't notice the problem myself until I tried to revert back to the Old market.
I think all the roms with New (leaked) 3.2 market will have the same problem if you want to revert back to the old market. A full wipe or a titanium backup is the only solution then.
I've only had my A500 for a couple of weeks, but I've already tried quite a few ROM's since then, and the funny thing is, 75% of the time, there's a market issue! Dunno if it's just me or what. It typically only happens with the ICS market leak. Maybe some devices just don't like it. But anyway, I seem to have come up with a universal fix that has worked every time I've tried it. I just posted about it here. Basically, what you're doing is completely removing the market and all traces left behind, rebooting, injecting the 3.1.6 market, and rebooting again. It's almost too easy

Thanks and yep , I think it is some problem the way 3.2 market (leaked version) is intigrated into the system , on the full ICS 4.0 there will be no problem I guess but on HC3.2 it got some problems.
Edit:
The A500 uses a market simular like the website android market , it is intigrated into the system , I did a test , even when I delete the vending apk and marketupdater apk in the rom before flashing it , it still installs the 1.0.28version and I think that there it goes wrong when you install a other Market version and then try to go back.
I stick with the 1.0.28 version on the A500 , I think this web-layout is the more clearer one , 2.3.6 is ok but 3.1.5 and up to 3.2 got to small fonts and icons for me and is good for phones but not tablets in my opinion , the only good in those new versions is the rotation where the 1.028 only got horizontal view.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You have the nerve to give people new roms to play with. Nothings perfect and will always have minor issues we learn to work around. Just keep doing your thing. Believe me, people appreciate it more than you know

No need to apologize. I read the instructions and tried it anyway.
I'm very happy with your rom so thank you for all the time and effort.
I'm using Thors kernel and have no complaints.
We only learn from our mistakes and this was a very minor lesson.
I just discovered I have the "Error purchasing" problem.
Any ideas on a fix? I cleared cache no luck.
Thank You
go to the android market with Google webbrowser. Market acount settings .Make sure your device isn't hidden in menu.
Try downloading and installing true android market from the webpage and see if your tablet starts installing the picked app. If it doesn't. Your tablet is hidden in menu of the devices and you need to change that in your market account settings.
Fixed it, fingers crossed.
I tried to uninstall it from Titanium Backup and received the message that Finsky.apk would uninstall.
Since I was not certain which version of Vending.apk and Finsky.apk were on the tablet, I pulled them both from Thors 10 rom.
I then did the usual, rename the old ones, copy the new ones, force stop, clear cache and data, delete account, reboot, login, create new account.
Works fine now.
Are Vending.apk and Finsky.apk linked in some way? Previously I tried different versions of just Vending.apk and had either the error purchasing or fc when checking my apps.
Thank You
Well it seems to be that the finsky.apk is linked.
Thanks for the info.

It is linked - I have noticed this before. But check my last post on the first page. It's not necessarily required for the market to run (at least, with version 3.x) because I have removed it entirely. By removing all traces of the market (finsky.apk, vending.apk, and clearing cache) a fresh market apk can be pasted into /system/app with the permissions set to rx-r--r-- and it should run just fine.
Another thing which apparently works (who knows why) is going to Android settings, and selecting your language (even though it's already selected) and then running the market again. Not sure if that applies to tablets, but I remember having to do it with my phone on certain ROM's & market versions.
