Dexter's 1.3 Mod and Calendar - A7 General

The 1.3 Mod works great for me except the Calendar. I installed the Mod, did a wipe/reset. I then setup my Google Account and now the calendar crashes every time it starts. Any ideas?

Had the same problem with my e-mail application and the 1.2 update.
Seems Dexters mod somehow affects other apps and not aalways and different apps for different people. Seems odd to me. Hope you get it fixed. I will be installing 1.3 hopefully today and will let you know if i have the same issues.

Yes, its long, but if you read through the last few weeks of posts, it will answer all of your questions and save you a lot of time.

To fix it I found some calendar apk files in a post on this site (Not sure which post or where, just search). Then I used Root Explorer to remove the matching files in the system folder. Replaced them with the two files from the download.
I had a little hiccup, I was using an older version of Root Explorer and couldn't mount the system folder as RW. Once I realized my Root Explorer was out of date then everything went smoothly.

update name
I have just went through the process of the dextermod. I have realized a solution to a problem I see others have had with the instructions on the dextermod install.
The file you download is already a zip file. So when you rename it you dont rename it "Update.zip" you just rename it "Update" hope this helps someone that needs it.
Ok I just finished the dextermod process smooth sailing after figuring out the rename error as stated above. I have since downloaded and installed about 20 apps with no errors.
One thing i noticed it that the touch screen is very sensitive.

Here is the calendar that works for me.

Rename or delete other calendar in app folder.
Copy the one I posted in the folder and it should work.

Can't Preview in Gmail

FIXED!!! SEE END OF POST.
Using the latest RC30 mod from JesusFreke, everything works swell (cache to sd card, autorotate, multitouch, etc).
However I can't preview anything but .txt files in gmail! If I try to preview a .doc or .pdf file it crashes (Gmail has stopped unexpectedly) every time.
Not sure what is causing it, I believe it should be calling HTML Viewer and then maybe doesn't find it? I can view things with HTML Viewer though (txt files through ASTRO, etc).
I recently installed Linda File Manager as it adds a plugin to the Browser that enables the downloading of any content, however I've removed this app (and ASTRO) but haven't seen any results. I also reset the "defaults" on pretty much all involved apps.... At the moment I can't view pdfs through gmail and I really need to for work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
hey did you find a fix for this?? im experiencing the same exact thing....
concerning pdfs I had the same experience...
I noticed that my test license of jetcet pdf had expired. I uninstalled, reinstalled...
and it works again.
I am on JF 1.4.1 RC8
I fixed the problem by loading a nandroid backup from the previous day. then i opened gmail and when it asked me what default viewer i would like to use I chose HTML viewer
although it gave me the option of setting ASTRO instead. what i dont get is, why didn't the problem go away after i reset all programs to default and uninstalled ASTRO? mmaybe i should have restarted or something.
im on a stock rc 30 so im guessing id have to get root with one of JFs modded roms before i can do that nandroid? the jetcet program solved the pdf issue but im still force closing when trying to preview docs....html viewer opens independently but not through gmail...really annoying!
i would suggest clearing your defaults for gmail.... also root gives you nandroid yes but yu also need the sdk to flaah the backups. use mybackup as well!
no defaults are set....i guess i have to root to get it to work...
My problem came back! I uninstalled ASTRO, rebooted, and it is still here. No defaults to clear.
Using JF's version of RC33 now.
Also: you don't need root to reset defaults, but if you know how to do it via CLI, tell me! I can't fix it and I am afraid that if I go back to my old backup, update to RC33, it will come back!
getting really frustrated with this...im on a stock rc33 now and i still cant preview docs with html viewer through gmail....i have no idea what to do...i've reset the defaults and nothing?? does anyone have any other possible solutions?
thanks.
Still having the same problem.... I thought it was astro but it wasn't... what do we do?
Yeah, I don't even have Astro installed and it's having this problem. I have Linda File Manager and UnZip installed and that's about all I see that might be interfering...
Not only can I not view PDFs through Gmail, but I can't view any attachments at all.
I hope we find a fix for this...
Hey maybe it's Linda! I did have that installed a while back. I'm gonna do a nandroid backup and the reflash and see what happens.
Well I reflashed (finally got time) and the problem persists--- although I didn't install Linda. Astro is installed, but since you don't have it installed, it must be something else.
Very frustrating; it takes an hour to rebuild my phone (I could just re-flash the backup, but still) and I really want to see this problem resolved.
OKAY I FOUND WHAT CAUSES THE CRASH!!!!
It is an app called download crutch/download crutch lite.
It is a useful app, lets you download files from the browser that it might not recognize (ie zip files).
Anyways uninstall it, then delete the gmail storage/gmail settings from the app uninstaller--- then search for a .doc or .pdf file.
worked for me.
if you DO NOT have this app installed, then I have no idea. This worked for me on a clean install!!!
thanks

Stock 2.2 and corp email notifications question..

I can only get my vibrant to vibrate on corporate emails, with the stock 2.2 update from mini kies. In 2.1, it vibrated and had a Ringtone. But now all it will do is vibrate. I went through the setting removed vibrate, and it doesn't do anything with new emails. The new emails appear in the notification bar, but no sounds. I even went into the setting and picked a Ringtone.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem. I did a factory reset, formated both phones memory and sd card. I wiped my phone to stock JFD, before doing the udpate.
Any help would be much appericated.
Thank you.
I've having the same issues (tried KA5, KA6, KA7). On a different note, when I first tried KA5 from JI6, my data speeds were fabulous (got about 4Mbps dl and about 1.7 ul)and then since I moved to KA6 (and then to KA7 and back to KA5), my data reception has been terrible, often times switching between EDGE and 3G and never got HSPA. Pretty frustrating that I had it all good on KA5 (except the audible notification on my exchange email) and things are bad as of now.
~bump~
I see someone else is having this problem, is this something we did in the flashing back and forth or is this a problem with stock 2.2 KA6?
Any help would be much appericated.
Thank you,

Tried the Nero v3 email.apk and the GB email.apk - result for me was the same - zero sound notification. What's more is one email the vibrate is really short and soft, like the soft keys vibe is now, and the next one it goes for 10-15 seconds.
I have done a complete factory data reset in CWM since I have that installed with the stock+voodoo ka6 kernel setup.
I guess at the end of the day what pisses me off is the complete inconsistencies show across the Vibrants - one fix works, next one don't from phone to phone.

It took me about three times to get it to work correctly, because I was pissed off too. I slowed down and followed the instructions to the T and it work fine after that. Not say that you aren't following them, but with me I was allowing my pissed offness to rush the process to quickly.
I switched to Bionix-V 1.2, did the samething to fix it and it works again.
EDIT: also might want to try re downloading the email.apk.
I hope you can get it to work, because I am sure your email is as important as mine. Not being able to get notified of emails, can cause a crap load of problems.

Thanks for thr reply.
How is the bionix v working for you? I may just do that and then try again on the email apks. I downloaded via firefox and chrome, both apks twice.
But it was late, so may try again. Otherwise I fixed all the other issues (mms errors, gps, did the voodoo etc) and it has been running pretty good.
Being the Sr. Web Developer at a top ten sports organization, you got it, it is critical to get the notifications all the time.
EDIT - I should also point out, that when I went to copy the email.apk through root explorer into system/app I only had about 700kb free, not enough room for a 1.39mb apk, and that was after deleting the original email.apk. I removed a few other apks I knew I didn't need/want.

Downloaded the Email.apk from This post, did the following:
Copied Email.apk to SDCard
Menu-Settings-applications-manage-email-clear data/cache
root explorer, mount r/w, system/app, deleted email.apk
rebooted
after reboot, copied email.apk from SDCard (the only .apk on the sd card) and pasted in /system/app
long pressed, changed permissions to rw-r--r--
rebooted
setup email
same thing - highly variant vibration speed/lengths, zero tone
Copied to SD Card
Next I seen in the same thread, a CWM version of the Nero v3. Reboot to CWM Recovery, installed zip from SD card, same thing. Though it ocurred to me that didn't clear the data/cache nor remove the existing Nero apk prior to flashing.
So I just did that - removed Nero v3 email.apk, cleared cache/data. rebooted, opened CWM, reboot recovery, install zip from sd, rebooted, let it all load. Sent an email - zero sound. Again.
I can see in root explorer the file sizes have been different, so I know they are going in there (the nero is different size than original, as is the GB, etc).
I am at a complete loss at this point. 3 or 4 Email.apks, nothing is fixing it and it's to the point i am probably just going to throw a diff rom on it and move on, as notification is one of the key things I need.

Don't forget to change the permission on the Email.apk
Should look like this:
[*]long pressed, changed permissions to rw-r--r--
That might be a problem, just reading the steps you put after "So I just did that-", I noticed you didn't put that you changed the apks permissons.
I did the above setups and it works for me, but it did take me three times to get it right though.

Yeah, did that, probably forgot to type it in - coming from a Linux enviro, full aware of perms on files/dirs. In fact I ended up doing the nero and GB email.apk 3 times each, all to no avail. Ended up flashing Bionix-V 1.2.1, still no notification, pushed the nero email apk - and viola, working like a charm and as a bonus, Bionix is FAST n smooth.
What do you guys think compared with K9 email? i haven't had the best of luck with any of the email apps since the G1

[FIX] For Evo's having problems with latest Flash 10.2 update (10.2.157.51)

I was one of the many Evo users who's flash video was killed after the last Flash Player update. After much searching, couldn't find a single thing on why so many of us were having this problem so decided to do a little tinkering.
In my phone, I found a 2nd "libflashplayer.so" file under \system\lib\ which was also a different size from the one under \data\data\com.adobe.flashplayer\lib.
It also remained there after completely uninstalling the current version of Flash.
Installed the latest update and confirmed it as not working
Renamed the \system\lib\ file to "libflashplayer.bak" and flash instantly worked again! Putting the file back to normal instantly broke flash again too.
Also tried replacing it with the copy from \data\ (since it was the latest version) and flash still works just fine and didn't revert back to the older file after a reboot.
So - If any of you also have problems with the latest 10.2.157.51 version of Flash Player - check your \system\lib\ folder for this file and either rename or replace it and see if it solves this for you too
(Note - Always backup stuff first, and I am not liable if you fry your phone. ^_^)
It never ceases to amaze me up buggy and poorly controlled Flash is.
Thanks man.
Interesting i just updated flash NOW after trying twice before only to find video playback broken and it seems like they fixed it themselves now it is works, without doing anything on my end lol - Thank anyhow though!
Now you know why Steve Jobs doesn't want to see flash on Iphone or Ipad.
By the way - thx for the info.
To be fair, this is less adobe's fault, and more HTC's fault for putting the libraries in a read only filesystem. Even that would be alright if that path didn't superscede the ones in /data. I've been doing this on my own phone for a while now, and it does fix a lot of problems with flash. I wish more devs would take care not to put market apps that are subject to frequent updates in /system anyways. It doesn't really save any space in the long run.

10.3 wasn't working for me either (I'm on the SprintLover's ROM), but after doing this, it works!
Thanks, OP!
I used ROOT EXPLORER to do this... thats the only program I know that works. it allows you to make the folder R/W instead of R/O then you can rename..
Im glad I found this.. now I am updates to 10.3 .. is there any difference in anything in 10.3 ?
Thanks! This fixed it on my EVO (running Fresh's 3.5.1 Froyo ROM), I used EStrongs file manager to make the necessary changes (you have to enable root options and mount system under settings first). Spent like half an hour trying to find a solution, since the search terms for the problem can be so generic ("Flash", "broken", "black box", etc. just returns a million different results).
WHY do some sites still say you need adobe flash when I go to them?? they worked with the old version.. could it be I have my browser agent set for desktop and the flash installed on the evo is reporting android?
My flash was also broken after the 10.2 (and 10.3) update. I used the method from the OP and it worked. Has anyone noticed though that after doing this fix if you have your "enable plugins" setting on your browser set to "on demand" that all flash content will say: "you need to update flash player to watch this video"? When the "enable plugins" setting is set to "always on" everything works flawlessly. I guess I should be happy that i got flash back at all but it kind of sucks because I like having my browser set to on demand so flash doesn't slow down my browsing experience.
At any rate big thanks to the OP
THANK YOU!!
This finally solved my problem, but in addition to renaming the libflashplayer.so file, I had to also rename libflashsnddec.so. Until I renamed the second file, Flash v10.3 kept giving me that blue Lego block with the question mark.
Thanks again!
Edit: Whoa...don't rename or delete libflashsnddec.so! Doing so causes both DolphinHD and the stock Android browser to abend on some websites (even simple ones like Amazon, etc.). I tried various combinations, uinstalls, reinstalls, clearing cache, backing out to an older version of 10.2 that worked previously, etc., and all ended up pointing to renaming/deleting libflashsnddec.so.
One question though. Would changing the .so to .bak affect when trying to update from the market? It worked like a charm by the way. Thanks.
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
Using that fix causes the stock browser and Dolphin Browser HD to abruptly close without even a Force Close warning.
I replaced the lib in /system/lib with the one from the latest Flash Player update and also placed the lib in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib which was actually empty before I put the file there.
Edit: Nevermind. Got it. Removed the APK from /system/app and installed via Market. This placed the libs in the right folder and then I just copied them to /system/lib.
Edit 2: Alright, I'm trying to get this fix to work for my ROM so people don't have to do this manually.
So, I put the files in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib so they get copied over when the ROM is flashed by the updater-script. However if I do this while the install_flash_player APK is present in /system/app, it seems to erase the contents of that folder causing Flash Player to not work again. I need to find a way to make it so the libs stay in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib.
Any suggestions?

[Q] APKs won't sideload via adb or a file manager

So I am trying to load a couple of apks I have and it's been no go. On my Epic I usually just dropbox, open, and install. I tried that and initially got the security message. That is already taken care of via nookcolor tools. So that isn't the issue. My issue is every time I go to install I go to Astro, open the file via the "open app manager," it takes me to the info install page...I click install and it loads into the package installer, excellent...and then it just stalls and the progress bar runs and runs but never progresses. This has happened with every apk I have now tried.
Okay...so I figured I'd just go the little more involved (very little, no need to be that lazy, right) route and adb install. Well carp. All goes well, I adb install blahblah.apk and it starts rolling..."570kb blah..etc pkg /blah/temp/blah"...and just hangs there...never to give me the gratifying "success" message. Again, I have tried this with different apks that I know work and the same results. I restored to stock and rerooted, just in case. Same
I am running stock rooted (manualnooter) at this point, just got the nook day before yesterday (one of the many who jumped at the refurbs). Market apps download fine. I'm a blue dot, if that makes any diff. Likely not but meh.
I have searched and googled and not found the answers...but I know I am missing something elementally simple. My luck I'll look like an idiot and it will be a "did you check to see if you had any gas?" broken down car scenario. I'm okay with that, as long as I'm running again. I'm pretty sure I checked all the out of gas scenarios but I likely missed one or two so... any help is much appreciated. Thanks a ton...
I should know better than trying to write before coffee
Well, My answer is not a "check gas" answer. It's pretty dang weird.
1. Download ES Explorer from the market.
2. Start ES Explorer, hit Menu>Settings. Goto Root Options (NEW) and tick both check boxes. Hit allow when it asks you to.
3. Go back twice, until you see your sd card contents. Find the APK on there and select and hold. Hit copy and then hit the 1st button on the row of buttons (it's an icon of an sd card OR a Home icon) If you see a data folder, go in to it. If not, hit the 1st button again.
3. Once in the data folder, go into the app folder. Pull up the little white tab on the bottom. Tap the APK you wanted to install. It will copy. Once you see the APK's icon in the folder, hit the home button and restart. That should have installed it but it is a slow method. Note that you can Multi-Select APK's by pressing the Multi-select button and pasting them all in the /data/app/ folder.
are you sure you have side loading checked
Settings > applications should be the top box.

I think he already took care of that. And he is on stock, so there is no Applications setting.
ikingblack, thank you, thank you!
Not sure why but by doing this it somehow unsnafued the package installer as well (fingers crossed). I went through your instructions with a known good apk that would not install for anything before. And there it was after the copy, paste reboot etc. Not too much to ask for...still was confused as to the why of the normal package installer method not working. So I decided to give it (package inst) a go with another known working apk (I had just tested it on my epic) that previously wouldn't install, repeatedly, and now it installed just like it should. Scratching my head in wonder. It shouldn't be the reboot, as I have do so many times...the only difference is the install instructions and adding ES (I'm leaving astro behind I think). All I know is it is working and I am a happy camper (tent is in the back yard...) Thanks again! cheers!
Sure. Also, you can select all the APK's using the 2-file icon at the top and tapping the APKs, then press-and hold on one of the APk's and then go to data app, and keep tapping the APK's you wanna copy. And then reboot. Enjoy your Nook!
Thanks for this, it fixed it, but I don't know why.
I suffered this issue on my dell streak.
It was working fine a couple of days ago when I installed GetJar.
Suddenly today for no reason I can determine:
All APK's I tried the install button in the package installer was not grayed out, but it would not respond when pressed.
I've just been setting up my streak again and installing a lot of software. I'm guessing something must of gone wrong.
Someone on another post suggested JuiceDefender may have caused it but I've not installed that recently.
In my case I did:
(1) Installed esFileExplorer
(2) Copied an apk to the folder /data/app/ as described above
(3) restarted the phone
This did not install the app for me.
(4) Tried running the apk file again. Suddenly the Install button is clickable again?! The app then installed just fine.
(5) Tried a different apk (without copying to /data/app/)
Now that will install fine?!
This is really weird. I can't replicate the issue now (which is good!)
but I also can't tell which action fixed it.
As said above it may have been installing esfileexplorer and giving it root access.
It may have been the act of copying the file that reset something.
It wasn't the reboot, at lease not on its own as i'd already tried it.
Regardless, thanks for the info.
If anyone sees this issue again you might want to just try installing esfileexplorer and see if apk's will then install.
This might help us identify which bit of the process is creating the fix.
Just found another suggestion if anyone is interested:
Some suggests using the 'Fix permissions' option of Titanium Backup. I have no way to test this.

[Q] Market search works, will not download apps

I cannot get the market to install any applications, though it is working and searchable.
I rooted my nook2e with Xboxexpert's nooter.img and script package, and updated the vending.apk with no results. I ran touchnooter 1.6.24, and now the market works and is searchable, but none of the apps i pick will download, or install.
It's been incremental gains here and there though this whole process... just one last step to get market working!
(also, the youtube app wont run, and gmail says it must be synced with an account, but in the Settings tab for the nook, you cannot add any of the facebook/twitter/google account information, it just flashes the screen and goes back to the previous setting screen.
I had a similar problem. If you can get vending.apk it will fix the download problem

ok, so, i fixed it, and here's how!
I cleared the nook, using the menues to do a factory memory wipe...
Then i put TouchNooter on an SD card, and installed that. Then i ran XboxExpert's batch script to install apps and change settings etc. Then i put the updated Vending.apk file on the sd card and ran that update twice... the first time it made the market not work at all.
but now it works and downloads and searches and everything!
