Ok, I successfully rooted the phone. Tested by using Root Explorer and looking at DATA directory, changing permissions, etc...
However, both "Screenshot" and "ShootMe" fail to work. They get an error when they take a screenshot. I checked the superuser permissions, and no matter what I do they revert to denied status. Weird.
Anyone else?
Those apps seem to not work properly in Atrix. It had been already discussed.
Good, at least I'm not crazy.

I cannot get Fast Web Installer to work on my Droid 2. It worked fine on my Droid Eris until I rooted it and put a 2.2 ROM on it. Then I just recently upgraded to the Droid 2 and am having the same issue. When I am viewing an app on the Appbrain webpage and click on Install, instead of getting the permissions pop-up where I would just click OK and the app would be begin downloading to my phone, instead it just says "Added ______ " (see attached screenshot) and the app never downloads.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the Appbrain app and the Fast Web Installer, and have "enabled" Fast Web Installer several times. Nothing seems to help.
Any ideas?

Has NO ONE else had this problem?
What is Fast Web Installer? Never used it so I haven't had a problem. lol
But seriously what is it? is it in the Market?
I have the same problem now, I"m on ATT Captivate, when on Eclair 2.1 it worked great, I love the app.
Now I installed Froyo and when I choose install nothing happens, but when I cancel on web, a pop up comes up:
Application not found
The application was not found in the list of installed applications
So the installer never happens.
The Fast Web Installer is apparently tied to the ANDROID_ID of the phone. There's a bug affecting a bunch of phones, especially the Droid 2, that prevents the device from properly generating a unique ANDROID_ID. Some value unique to each device was not set, or something, and the ANDROID_ID is supposed to be a hash of that value.
Consequently, there are a ton of phones floating around with the ANDROID_ID set to the same value as (I think) an emulated Android device: 9774d56d682e549c.
Also, it seems that some custom ROMs are subject to the same bug, or have copied the same ANDROID_ID. So phones that used to have a unique value may have lost it.
A lot of developers tailored their apps to use the ANDROID_ID as a unique identifier, so this bug is screwing with a lot of people.
My Droid 2 had this ANDROID_ID from the time I bought it, and through several ROMs I put on. I edited a database and manually changed the ANDROID_ID to what I hope is a truly random value, and now Fast Web Installer works properly.
I don't know if I have set myself up for future conflicts by editing my ANDROID_ID, but so far everything is working.
Can you give some instructions for how to do that?

SUCCESS!!!
I got Fast Web Installer to work!! Here's what I did:
I had to be rooted and have BusyBox installed first
1. Downloaded & installed Android ID Changer: http://adaptiveeng.blogspot.com/
2. Changed my Android_ID to a random 16 character ID (Hex)
3. Re-installed AppBrain and Fast Web and BAM! It works!!
Sounds like a solid solution. You could add [SOLVED] to your thread title if you don't have anymore problems with it.

Go here and follow all instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107499. This will make the option to install non-market apps straight on your device (HTC Aria) appear!!! Enjoy!
Known issues:
- Unable to send/receive mms (since settings are erased - maybe re-inputting them will enable it again?...)
- HTC Wallpaper list disappears (These wallpapers can still be accessed in their root folder - system/customize/resource)

I tried this on two Arias running 2.2 and it worked, but it disabled the HTC Wallpaper section options (the select screen comes up but there are no wsllpapers shown) and the MMS send/receive also doesn't work. As hard reset fixed these issues but also removed the "unknown sources" option.
I can load wsllpapers via the live wallpapers and gallery options, but I can't fix the MMS issue.

it did work for me to unable 3rd party apps installation although it did reset the wallpaper and made the wallpapers disappear from the list but who cares.. I dont use MMS feature, so cant comment on that..
worked for me also but now can not recieve mms
Has anyone tried manually restoring MMS settings?

I'm glad I waited for more replies.
as long as I can download the .apk, its really not that big of a deal to me anyway. Just have to connect phone to pc, find the file, drag it to my computer and then install it with android injector. This works for amazon apps and any app I have download from here.
If u rooted ur phone you would not need this and rooted phones have been able to do this for quit sometime now. Duh!

What .apk are you talking about? There is no .apk you download to unlock this option. You have to clear the data of two specific system apps to do this.

I THINK that he's talking about root not being that big of a deal as long as he can sideload...I'm pretty sure. Over a long time of being on forums, I have learned to read and understand the most incomprehensible of verbiage.
sorry, i was generalizing. basically if you can download the app, even if you cant install it from your phone, there is a simple method to get it installed when you get to your computer.
edit: yes, I was talking about how easy it is to sideload. just my opinion. easier to do than possibly lose mms options with this method to get the unknown sources checkbox.
just going to wait for the actual update. which better come soon. as it was supposed to be out before this thread even started.

The update was out before this thread started but only some (very few) people got it. So if someone can't wait for it, since it seems like no one else is going to get it, and they can afford to lose the mms setting (which could be reset manually), then they can do this method.
First I hope Im posting this in the right place, second Im not a regular in this forum as I have another device, however I need some assistance. My girlfirend has the Droid 2 and yesterday stated experiencing an issue with the default messaging app. It will only allow her to type in 1 word and then stops functioning. I thought maybe pull the battery and it goes away. But shes done that and the issue is still there, so then Im thinking that maybe she somehow got a virus? I ran a virus scan with Lookout (it was already installed) and it didnt come up with anything. I cant seem to convince her to use another SMS app just to try because she refuses to download anything else, she's stubborn and just wants the default app to work. Do any of you have any ideas? Shes talking about doing a factory reset which Im not sure it will help and she isnt rooted (Yet) and does not have Titanium Backup on the device. Im open to some ideas before she does that reset and loses her apps and what not...Thanks in advance!!

Ever since I flashed froyo on my phone I have had problems with my weather ticker. It hasn't been updating/refreshing like it should. Also when I click the icon on my ticker it no longer opens weather bug anyone know why?
If your running ec07. Try the GPS fix.

Well, It wasn't working when I used EC03, and yesterday I switched to EC07. Still isn't working. I'm hesitant to try the GPS Fix because it's a shot in the dark if it would work and it's going to take a quite a bit of time for me to figure out ADB.
Any other suggestions? :/
Copy and paste GPS. Conf with root explorer in folder that the adb command says in post. Then reboot. Make sure to mount r/w in folder pasting to. (Button on top in root explr)

Ah thank you. I copied the gsp.config over, lets see if it works....
EDIT: Nope, a no go on the weather ticker. I can't even open it.
Are you on a stock ROM or one of the manymodded ROMs? the only reason it wouldn't open would be if someone deleted the app or if your ticker is forever "locked"which I have seen before....
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
I'm using Nuckins ROM. I don't think the ticker is locked, because I can still open my Text messages via the ticker bar. Just the weather thingymabobber won't come up, and the only way I can refresh it is by manually going into the weather ticker settings and clicking Refresh. It doesn't even seem to refresh automatically every 3 hours, like it is set to do.
I'm not sure if Nuckin's ROM has deleted the app or not, but if it has how can I get it back? ALSO... Before this ROM I was using THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203597 ROM by pastorbennett and the weather ticker OPENED but wasn't updating with it.
I know at one point on an older flash I was using TI and deleted some essential apps for the entire ticker section without knowing it. They're have very vague names. Reflashing would definitely fix the issue, if that's something you're willing to do.
Reflashing what? I've already experimented with 2 different ROMS. First time I had EC03/pastorbennetts ROM and this time I have EC07/Nuckin's ROM.... problems with both and the weather ticker. However, slightly different problems. With EC03 I could open the weatherbug app by clicking on the weather icon, but I couldn't refresh it not even manually. This time, with EC07 I can refresh it manually but that's about it. I can't open the Weatherbug app and I don't think it's refreshing on its own either. (Although it could be, I'm just having a hard time telling since I can't open the APP and see what time it updated.)
Plus, I've reflashed both of those more than once with the same issue.
EDIT: Unless you mean to reflash stock, then flash the ROM?
EDIT2: I think I've already reflashed stop after this anyway....
EDIT3: Well, I tried to manually go into my applications and open Weatherbug and it's giving a Force Close Error. >.< I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, same issue.
Best advice I could give is to go into <2e> then open CwM (red seems to work nicely) wipe cache wipe data factory reset then reflash the EC07_clean! This ROM fixed most problems for me and its a simple quick flash. Then you can update to whatever ROM you've been wanting to use. The entire ticker-stuffs has worked flawlessly for me on the EC07 clean so I recommend that. It was a problem I was having too since rooting my i400.
Okay so now that my phone is unbricked, haha... I'm having my lovely WB ticker problem again. Except this time, the program opens when I click the ticker BUT I can't refresh it manually with the refresh icon. Any idea why or how it can be fixed? lol
Funny, I just started having the problem where the ticker icon doesn't open the app.

I thought I fixed it, but alas, I did not. >.< WB stop haunting meeeeee.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I assume thee is no way to have the ticker use another app either?
I can very easily, (well... Pretty easily, haha.... ) make the ticker use another app, haha...
I have 3.2.1 rooted (a500 btw) and I just realized that ever since getting it, my email app (stock) no longer notifies me of new emails. The settings are all set up properly and the app itself otherwise works perfectly fine... but it just doesnt show notices on my homescreen when I get new email.
Also, as it would probably come up as a possible solution, my wifi is set to NEVER turn off.
So, is this just me or a glitch?
If its me, then any ideas for fixing it?

Try uninstalling the email app and reinstalling which should reinstall everything in the right place and fix this I am curious how you rooted your Acer because I have searched these forums for weeks and cannot find a working download for the rooting files
gingerbreak doesn't work on 3.2
And timmydeans downloads all fail at 230 MB
Everyone seems to still be posting links that are affiliated with megaupload!!
I'll keep trying to fix your email problem
But without rooting my Acer I doubt I'll be able to reproduce the fault
I have no idea what happened, but after having this issue for several months, the problem suddenly corrected itself a few days ago.
All I did was add the email widget to my homescreen, which prompted me to set up my email account info again (for some reason). After that, voila! Notifications again!
Maybe I just had to clear cache and data, which I probably should've tried before posting here... I forgot to try that first though. Sorry.
As for rooting 3.2.1:
