Yes youll have to turn off vitus scan and firewall to dl. The program is not a virus that will infect your pc, it roots your phone to gain superuser permissions which is blocked by moto.

Or just dl z4root apk directly to your phone

Can you add to the Toots-how to wipe your cache, clear frozen apps data, etc.
So many people asking how to do this.

You mean like go to settings/apps/app management/ choose app/ click clear cache??

That and clearing phones cache via recovery. Maybe add that to the vid. Basic crap for us, but so many people-who don't know how to root-ask about this.

Well I will be working on more tutorials I will definately tackle clockwork, and many other things.
Thanks for your input.

Market apps not installing

I had two updatede apps today. They downloaded fine but won't install. Don't know if it's a Market issue or something with my device. Any ideas?
Sent from my rooted DROID2 using XDA App
Ok. New apps will download and install but still have the issue with updating apps.

Usually an uninstall and then reinstall fixes apps that don't update.

Tried that. Also cleared Market cache and data. Done several reboots.

It is a google problem, the same thing is happening on the hero Just wait for them to fix is probably the only thing we can do right now
Same thing has been happening to me. I have just been clicking the update and then immediately clicking on the name of the app I just downloaded and watching the download and install meter and it works for me everytime.

The issue was with apps on the memory card. Had to move them to phone memory, update, then move them back to the card. Annoying.

Possible, maybe why they're having market issues
Not sure it's the Market now. Since I couldn't get Angry Birds to updated I tried getting it at GetJar. That wouldn't install either.

Ok. Completely lost. ROM Manager successfully updated but Angry Birds still won't.

I'm having almost the same issues. It started yesterday when I accidentally unistalled the wrong app. When I went on to market to re-download it and found it sat in the ongoing downloads going nowhere along with several others. I cancelled them and started them again one by one. They all downloaded and then failed to install. After that they all appeared in the downloads list but say "FREE" next to them instead of "Installed".
I know that, apart form the first app, all of them are definitely installed. Rebooting the phone made no difference. I also removed the memory card to see if that helped. At that point I managed to install the first app.
I put the SD card back in and the problem returned. Most of the apps I have installed on the SD card only appear in my downloads list intermitently, and I still can't install or update anything from the market with the SD card in the phone. I also am having issues re-installing backups and non-market apk's.
Have I done anything to the phone to make it do this or is this a Google issue? I'm using a rooted T-Mobile UK desire on stock 2.2 with ModInstallLocation set to external.
Thanks for any help or advice.
I also get Free instead of Installed.

It's still the server issues, until Anroid 2.3 is out this will probably be a problem
I hope I don't have to wait for 2.3 given how long it takes Verizon to release an update.

Uncapped data on darkslide?

Has anyone done this yet. I found a thread where this was done on liberty 1.0 but couldn't (not smart enough) to determine if it is possible on other roms.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
About two weeks ago I swotched from liberty, I had to choose between apex and ds, I could not find an unthrottle.zip for ds so I went with apex it has the option to unthrottle in the toolbox.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
It's possible on almost every rom out there. Just do some Google searching and I'm sure you'll find it
Sure its possible all you have to do is modify the service.jar

Thanks Owen. I've been contemplating apex...I'll give it a go
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Ds is the best rom out there for the x..it is possible to achieve that but you do have to alter the service jar...
but using apex come on ppl darkslide is the way to go and with ds3 coming out nothing close can touch it.

What do you mean uncapped?
Is that like, bypassing your carriers data block? i.e. ive got 500MB a month... by uncapped, do you mean my phone would be ignoring those 500mb and (obviously) i wouldnt have to pay jack to my carrier?
This sounds INTERESTING...
It is just a mod to take throttling away not atually uncapping data

What's wrong with xda app

I know it was mentioned that xda app crashes on the iconia tab but this goes further. I can't access xda web site with browser too (can't find disable java ) and from my phone (epic) I don't see Q posts click-able underneath general post line like on pc, so from my tab can't access xda all.

I have had the web close like that on me before, but never consistently for a single site, and never on XDA :/ try this:
Settings> applications> manage applications> all> browser> clear data. No guarantees, but maybe it will fix it.
I think he's talking about xda app. It's a known issue on the free app.
**My mistake I just re-read the the question... no idea why the browser would be crashing for you on xda. Dolphin, Opera and OEM all work for me.
he gave no specifics in his original post, ie: which version of HC, what build, etc. No way to help him based on a question without pertinent info.

Just give up on the app :/ its broken. Force closing IS operating correctly for that app! As far as I'm concerned, if the browser works, this threads a success just read my signature

Superuser force closing CM7..

This just recently started happening maybe a couple of weeks ago. Never had problems before. I've tried searching this forum, Rootzwiki, and Google, but can't find anything recent ir relevant to the DX. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
Can you better describe the problem for us? I'm not sure exactly what the issue is...
Im sorry about that. Superuser keeps randomly force closing on me several times a day. If I try to open the app from the app drawer, it force closes. The only way for me to get it to run again is to reboot the phone. I have a Droid X running Cyanogenmod 7 on nightly #77. If you need any other info, let me know. Thanks!

Contacts force closing

Im having a serious problem. Anytime I try to add to or create a new contact, it force closes. I can't in any way edit any contact. The process is com.motorola.contacts. I am on stock 2.3 rooted only. I had previously frozen all the social and yahoo authenticators and since had no adverse affects, went ahead and uninstalled them all. However this was about a week ago, but this problem with contacts began this past weekend. Im at a loss. I need to get this working again. Im very uncomfortable with unlocking my bootloader to reflash as I don't understand the terminology you pros use and afraid to ask for fear of being called stupid (again) by some pros. Any help? And please if you feel the need to make me feel like a complete moron, please bite your tongue. Thank you.

what all did you delete???? that could very well be your problem. i know on my galaxy tab 7 i deleted the email app and my cam force closed every time and would not work, put the app back and all was fixed.
Yes, probably your contacts get fc 'cause you deleted the yahoo authentication, and I think the contacts (if some of your contacts have a yahoo account) use this authentication, so if the contact app doesn't find the authentication app this fc.
And probably if you deleted others sys apps linked with the contact app, you'll still having fc.
So, what apps did you delete?
Anyway you can try install the app(s) again with rootexplorer

The apps I deleted were all the authentication ones for facebook twitter and yahoo. However, I don't save any email addresses in my contacts. Only phone numbers. How would I go about finding the backup I have of those apps with tibu thru root explorer?

I suggest to freeze apps and don't uninstall them (unless you are 100% certain it's safe to delete).
I had the same problem as you, but in my case I just had frozen the authentication apps, which after I un-froze them, Contacts worked again.
Maybe a ROM reflash is what you need?

yep i had the same issue i couldnt add any contacts im not 100 but it may have been due. to a app i had installed not sure i do now i reflashed alienv4 and that new 1.4 oc kernal from faux and the other guy and the problem is solved now

I was thinking that too. How do I go about doing that without unlocking my bootloader and voiding my warranty. Im tech savvy, but not enough to be able to hide the unlocked if I need warranty service. Any help is so appreciated.

The Solution: Un-frozen them.
If you have uninstalled them, you should get the apks and install them.

You can try this 2 ways:
1. With root explorer go to: system/app then look for the apps you deleted, tap and reinstall them.
2. Any way can't reinstall the apps, you may try a factory reset: setting/privacy/factory data reset (using this way all your data will be erased)
