Not sure if this is a known issue but I can't play mp3 files with the liberty rom. I was using grummy before this one and had the same problem. It says file type not supported if I try to play it. This is probably related but I can't play any songs off of Pandora or grooveshark. Any tips as to what's happening. I tried unmounting my SD card aand mounting it and tried using winamp still no luck.

did you come from 2.3.15 or 2.3.32/34?
If you came from 2.3.15, I think that is the reason. You need to update your kernel.
If you came from 2.3.32 or higher, I don't know.
I'm currently using 2.6.32 not sure what I came from. Is there a way to check without restoring my backup?

In "About Phone" what is your kernel version?
i had the same problem, u will have to flash back to stock, update your version then flash back over to liberty, thats what i had to do, and now it works fine
Ok I found a zip that says it will update my kernal can I just flash that instead of going back to stock?

I think you can just flash that, but I haven't tried it. You might want to ask @P3Droid on twitter if you are using his (TBH) .zip.

If audio isnt working, then i am 100% surr e you are/were still kn 2.3.15 update. I was in the same boat. If you really want to stay on your current version, let me know. I have the files that will fix your issue.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
NOTE: These files are only useful if you are on the 2.3.15 OTA from Verizon and are running Liberty or GummyJar 2.5
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE BEFORE DOING THIS! I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PHONE IF YOU MESS IT UP
Take this zip file that is attached, there should be two .so files under the /system/lib folder.
you will need root explorer to do this most easily. If you don't have root explorer, you can use adb to push the files to your phone.
Open a command prompt to the directory where you saved these files and enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
**KEEP THIS FIRST WINDOW OPEN
Open a second command prompt window and issue the following commands:
adb push libbridge.so /system/lib/libbridge.so
adb push libLCML.so /system/lib/libLCML.so
Go back to the first command prompt and issue the follow commands:
cd /system/lib
chmod 644 libbridge.so
chmod 644 libLCML.so
Go back to the 2nd command prompt and enter the following:
adb remount
adb reboot
Your phone will now reboot, and once it has booted back up, you should be good to go!
Good luck and enjoy!
I have this same issue but it doesnt appear to be related to firmware. My handset is on 340 and MP3's play when on the stock rom but fail to do so when on Liberty 1.5.

My guess would be just a bad install unfortunately. I would use the Liberty Toolbox to backup your apps/data and then backup any other info you made need (contacts if not synced to gmail, etc.) and then do a re-install of Liberty 1.5
See if this helps out the problem, as I have seen this work before. I have had a few issues when coming from different ROM's and then going to Liberty 1.5, a fresh install over the top helped me.
Does it play any sound at all or just mp3s? That seems like an odd bug. Did you try using winamp or doubleTwist to see if that fixes it? Maybe go liberty apps setting and install the music add on. Maybe that will help. Good luck.

What version do you currently have?
Did it come with your rom or did you download it?
You can backup your settings (export) to your sdcard and restore (import) with the new version if by chance your settings are not preserved.
Im using CM 5.0.8 ,and it came with 0.8.9.
And how do i go about doing that export/import?
Either download link from your phone and install or download on PC put on SD card open file manager and install are easiest. Put it on a friends phone. Looks good. Backup and restore are in settings adw.

Do a search for ADW.Launcher in the Market, it's there. Just make sure you have a period in between "ADW" and "Launcher."
Hey,
I'm interested in updating the ADW.Launcher version that came with my CM5.0.8 rom, but I don't know if it's OK to update through market or get the apk file and use "adb install" or find a zip file to flash...
Could anyone make some light in here pls?
Thanks!
I have tried downloading the apk file for my CM5x and MDPI device from Anderweb's page but when I tried to "adb install" I get...

Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Since I'm new to this scene, what is the difference between the "adb install" method and using the Android Commander (which I need install)?
Would Astro help in this case, because I remember reading that has support for installing apk files?
I'd like to do this update as clean as possible.
Thank you for the reply!
PS: I have actually installed Android Commander and installed the ADW.Launcher apk for CM5x MDPI as an Update (wasn't sure what to chose between Private, Application or Update) and the installer said it was successful but after reboot I still have the old version 0.8.6
Any ideas?
U can download it put it on your sdcard and install with a file manager. Doesn't matter which way u go. Should work. Done it both ways
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
I did it somewhat the way you said and installed it with Android Explorer as an update because the regular installation would fail with the error that the application already exists.
The problem is that the new version gets copied into /data/apps/ and I can start using it but after the first reboot it's not there anymore and I get back to the one that came with my CM5.0.8 rom which is in /system/apps/
I would really like to get a solution that would update the one in /system/apps/ which might be harder because it's a memory mapped version of the ROM and changes get lost after reboot.
Please correct me where I am wrong...
Have u tried goin to the market and installing it from there? It's like version 1.4.1 or something now
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
place the file on your /sd.
adb push /sdcard/filename.apk /system/app
restart home or reboot phone.
I ended up installing the one from Market and making that the default launcher, but I would really like to just replace the one in the system folder - no need to keep 2 versions of the same app
I'll try the method NetrixTardis was suggesting.
U can do it through the terminal as well. Maybe removing the old one will solve it. Use the rm command in the terminal and see if u can do it that way. Ex.
$su (enter after each line)
#rm /system/app/(name of app.apk)
Then u can use cp command to copy the one from your sdcard.
Cp /sdcard/(app.apk) /system/app/
Someone correct me if I'm wrong in the lines
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
hey johnson8cyl
I'll try that and let you know if it worked, should I copy it to the same name?
like /system/app/adwlauncher.apk is the name for the system app, while the Market installed one is org.adwlauncher....apk
do you guys know a good keyboard replacement and a way to configure the vibration alarm on my CM5.0.8? these are mostly the things I miss from my stock ROM
oh...forgot to mention the CM5.0.8 default camera does not have all the setting (like I can't set the ISO), is there one that does that trick?
thanks!
I'll answer the keyboard part. I've got Smart Keyboard installed and its a lot better than the stock Android one.

U have to use the names exactly the one your removing and one your copying. Names have to be what u want to remove or copy. That make sense?

Makes total sense to keep the same names only that I have this problem...
any ideas? kinda makes sense because that comes from the ROM and is mounted as read-only

# pwd
pwd

# rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm: can't remove 'ADWLauncher.apk': Read-only file system
ps: I actually managed to fix this what was missing is "adb remount" to mount system partition read-write
So you figured it out? Were you able to get it removed and replaced?

Okay, I rooted my N1 with Universal Androot and removed the stock Froyo Twitter app without backing it up. (Shame on me.) Now, I can't update to 2.2.1 because of it (a status 7 error complaining about not finding /system/app/Twitter.apk)
I have, at the advice of some other forum posts I've read, installed Twitter from Android Market and backed it up to the sd. Renamed it Twitter.apk and used the Terminal Emulator to copy it to /system/app. That worked and the file is there, but the update still will not apply. Do I also need a .odex file? Is there any way to update at this point?

It looks as though I can't flash the GAPPS without unlocking the bootloader and installing a new recovery, correct? I'm really not that motivated if that's the case. I appreciate the information.
OK, just download the GAPPS, then use something like estrongs file manager to unzip to a folder of choice (with estrongs, longpress and select extract).
The Twitter apk will be in the extract folder/system/app. Just click the apk to install...

BTW, if you have root, you may as well install a custom recovery (without touching the bootloader).
Easy way with ROM Manager (has Clockworkmod and Amon-Ra), or use adb if you wanna learn something...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Thanks for the tips. I'll check it out tomorrow when I can make a data transfer. I am doubtful that installing from the zip will solve much since I already loaded the app and its already in the system folder.
could someone verify whether or not the Twitter app has a corresponding odex file that I might need?
I ran into the same problem when I removed Amazon Mp3, but I was impatient so I ended up reflashing the stock rom and then updating.

Long story short is that yesterday I rooted my HTC Glacier and everything seemed to work fine. I was able to obtain admin privileges by opening a Android terminal and typing "su". Today after deleting a few files from my phone which I thought were junk (face palm) I go into terminal to check if the "su" command still works and I get the message "link_image[1995]: failed to link su CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE".
I've checked and my s=off is still in place so it's not that that's causing the error message. I'm new to Android so I'm stumped as to what steps to take next in order to regain my admin privileges.
Thanks for any and all advice XDA Community.

Try re-running visionary. It won't hurt anything and it installs su, busybox, and superuser.apk when you run it. It won't mess up anything you already have installed and it might fix your problem.
Also, I'm sure Whosdaman will tell you and move the thread when he sees this but make sure you post questions in the Q&A section.
Ran Visionary and no dice. Thanks for the tip though and sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
Any other ideas?
Try going into xbin (cd /system/xbin) and typing ls and see if su is in there. If it is you could try running rom manager and "fix permissions" if it will let you.
Good deal. I'm actually out fixing someone else's desktop computer at the moment. I'll attempt your advice later tonight.
Thanks again.

Can you get su in adb?
The more I think about it, You're s-off so you can fastboot new recovery image and then flash new rom with all the goodies preinstalled. May be the easiest route.
To be honest I've had my pocket computer for all of a week, so I'v still not had a chance to play around with adb.
The whole reason I rooted in the first place was so that I could flash custom roms. You think I'll be able to flash even though "su" privileges don't seem to be working properly in my current rom?

Greetings,
Okay, so I endeavoured to root my phone last night and was successful. I ran into trouble when the clockwork recovery and superuser permissions kept getting removed each time I rebooted the phone. This morning, I tried to restore the superuser permissions by following the steps I found here on xda but after running the terminal script I rebooted my phone and when my phone wouldn't boot beyond the Google screen.
Now, I'm at the Google splash screen with no way to move forward. I'm a mac user and I don't really get the adb thing. Got adb to work with mac from a youtube video, but still not sure what commands to run.
I can't access clockwork recovery from the bootloader.
What I've done so far:
- wiped cache
- wiped/factory data reset
- retraced my steps by using terminal to setup superuser permission from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=927838)
What I think:
- maybe in all of my clicks I removed the ROM, so the phone doesn't have a ROM to work with.
This maybe a really infantile conclusion, but I know there's a solution (had a rooted G1 that I flashed all the time and thought I bricked once but was able to get it back to stock).
Eagerly waiting for a reply... no cell phone if this can't be fixed.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a question: will these commands work on a Mac?
Thank you to AllGamer for suggesting that I post this question here and for the following suggestion:
AllGamer said:
please post the same question in QA or General, then we can all help you
PM is not the best place to ask for help.
The first thing to do is to download the full set of Android SDK 2.3+ for MAC
then we'll continue from there.

How do I proceed AllGamer? I downloaded the mac SDK from here (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).
Follow steps 1-7 from here to get back Clockwork Recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878446
If your bootloader is already unlocked, you can skip those steps.
Do steps 8-9 to copy this file over to your USB drive.
http://devsforandroid.com/ip.board/index.php?/files/file/94-stock-deodexed-233-voodoo-rooted/
This rom is Master's Stock 2.3.3 ROM that is already rooted which should get you up and running.
Unmount, go back. Wipe system data, wipe cache. Go to advanced, Wipe Dalvik-cache.
Go back, choose to install zip from SD card. Locate Master's stock ROM. Flash that.
In the end, you'll have a stock deodexed rom that is rooted. Keep in mind that you will lose all your data, but that at least puts you back on track.
Also wanted to mention if you didn't already know, mac scripts are run with a "./" in front of them. So to use the adb command you would do something like, "./adb reboot bootloader" after you have changed your directory to the folder that contains the sdk files.

Cm9 is an entire ROM. If you want that, boot into recovery and format system and data, and then wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then you'll have a clean slate to install the ROM onto.
If you want just the music player, yes you can use titanium to uninstall then try putting the music player in system/app changing the permissions to rw, r, r, installing and rebooting.

I use root explorer, but you can use terminal emulator as well. If you can't afford Root Explorer, I'd suggest you hook, steal or kill to get the money. Totally worth it.
Anyway, using Terminal Emulator, type in these lines and hit "return" between each:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/app
chmod 644 Music.apk
There are alternate, shorter methods, but this one is fun.
I used jrummy root explorer lite and I just replaced the file with the cm one and renamed it to music.apk after that I set permissions rebooted and set permission on cwm and it was working perfectly though I don't use it (stock ics player is awesome) it works just fine.
