Have an HTC Glacier (obviously), stock rom, but rooted with radio s=off. I do not know when this problem began, but when I try to open the themes setting in Settings, I get the message "Unable to find an activity for this action" (or something very similar).
I really have not done much else to the phone except freeze apps with Ti. I saw that someone just posted about this same issue, except he was told he was in the wrong forum (he was in the mytouch 3g forum), so I guess he reposted it in this forum but I dunno... maybe he got lost again because I have not been able to find that post. As such I am starting this one.
I have my partition 7 .bin backup sync'd with dropbox on my laptop, plus I have made numerous nandroid backups and Ti data backups, so I am not worried that I will not be able to recover my phone, but I would like to know what caused this.
Anyone have any ideas??? I have frozen just about every T-mobile bundled app except the obvious (dialer, and other necessary system apps), but I did get rid of the native email client as I use gmail, and I believe I froze myModes... and probably a few other "my....".apks pos crapware that it is...
Sorry to bump this, but I really would love to know what this error means, and how did I do this? As said above, other than rooting, the only non sanctioned activity has been freezing apps. However I have defrosted those that I thought might have been unwise (such as stock tmo themes), but that didn't solve the problem.
I am going to flash to a custom rom soon, but for a few more weeks, I am going to use the stock rom (rooted).
Thanks a lot!

I feel like an idiot! I am new to android and new to root, and thought that I had a handle on what I was doing. I was deleting Sprint apps with root uninstaller from the market. *sigh* I didnt back up. I deleted the HTC Sense FB app, to my utter disappointment. I am asking for help. Is there away to reinstall the HTC app, or am I completely hosed? I just wanted free wifi and to delete the apps I dont want, NOT the FB.
Sheepishly,
Ethan
Try googling the name of the apk, dl one of the sense roms here on xda and pull the apk out of there, or flash a new rom. Its never a bad thing to back up all ur stock apps atleast once. Just in case. Good luck.
I love my Continuum.
But... it is so much "noisier" than all other Android phones that I tried!
By "noisier", I mean constant bombardment of the system log by all the applications that run there and, most annoyingly, random interruption by unsolicited notifications, messages, RSS, etc.
This gets in the way of certain applications that I run in the foreground, so I tried an application called "Android Assistant" to help kill unneeded applications/services on boot. It doesn't help, as the system seems not to allow killing certain processes.
Is there a Continuum ROM that's cleaner than the latest ec07?
Is there a CyanogenMod ROM for the Continuum?
Frankly, I prefer keeping the existing ROM and only install a Market application that kills on boot all the the applications that I don't need (e.g. Market, Gmail, Corporate Email, etc.), but is there such an application that really works?
Thanks!
Titaniumbackup or a root tool to uninstall bloat / apps u don't use. That's short of setting up a kitchen and cooking ur own rom.
PS I'd try tib first cause I remember the trouble u had with flashing the rom to begin with
Pss

My ROM is less bloated, but it still has like Gmail for example
I enjoy a very minimulistic device with very little clutter and apps.. I am currently working on a rom based on nuckin's, with a few tweeks, apks removed and some added to my liking. i am currently flashing the first test. Hopefully with a day or two, or even possibly tonight if it doesn't get to late i will post it up in a beta form.
Thats what Im talking about when are we going to get Cyanogen to make us a rom

Good memory!
I actually took a look at TIB and the task of deciding which application or service to uninstall looks daunting.
This is especially scary when I am prompted by the following warning when I try to uninstall via TIB:
Some system packages are needed for your phone to work properly. If you un-install the wrong package, it's your fault and you may need to reinstall your ROM !

How do I know up front which system packages I can uninstall? For example, if I uninstall Gmail, will the Market stop working?
For example, I uninstalled a few applications that I don't need and now I am getting periodic "Force close" messages for the following:
hiddenmenu - com.android.hiddenmenu
Messaging - com.android.mms
What is "hiddenmenu"?
I am attaching a text file listing all currently installed APKs. If you could provide tips which ones must absolutely remain on the phone, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

well i think we could do something with CM as soon as/if we ever get an open source kernel newer than 2.1update.
Hey guys Im having some issues with my mt4g. Every time I try to open apps like facebook or twitter it says "An error ocurred while loading this page" and gmail says No Connection. Even if Im on wifi its the same. I have a nand backup from a couple of days back and even if I restore it its no use. Can still use the browser though.
I have been using LCDDensity for Root app and Root Explorer but only used it to search for something. I do not know if it has something to do with the problem.
Please help.
Try uninstalling Facebook and then install it again from the market, not a backup. It sounds to me like you may have corrupted the android_secure data. That is where the system manifest of what apps are allowed to access is located. These permissions are not the same as file system permissions. These are the list of things you are shown when downloading some thing from the market, like hardware permissions: read/write sdcard; or full internet access.
If the reinstalled app works, then I would think that all installed apps will have issues.

Was going to try that but the Market was having problems too. So I reflashed the ROM and everything is working fine for now. Thanks anyway.

I had a similar problem but my apps were force closing like the contact and phone and one game re flashing fix it tho
I recently flashed Liberty 2.0, and restored my device using TB Pro. My apps were reinstalled, but they do not show in the market under "My apps." So I don't know what's been updated, etc. I've cleared the cache and data for the Market application, tried the Market Doctor included with TB Pro, I've even wiped cache partition in Recovery. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions? Is it time to wipe it all and start over? Thanks in advance!
Is Liberty 2 what you're truly using...
The one on froyo kernel?
If not...you're on LIBERTY 3 v2.0
Either way.
Seems like a build.prop issue.
This may be a documented problem in the rom...but I kinda' doubt it.
Jrummy/Kejar are pretty reputable hack-er-up rom builders.
Try flashing the rom on top of itself.
Or if you really don't want to do that...
Using root explorer or equivalent to manually move a fresh build.prop into place (with the correct permissions.)
Thanks for the reply! It is on the GB Kernel, Liberty 3 version 2.0. I pulled the 2.0 out of the Liberty Settings/ Mod version. I tried pulling the build.prop from the .zip for the ROM to replace build.prop on the device. No luck.
The other interesting thing that I meant to include earlier is that it only happens on my main google account. I have 3 on the phone, and of course the only one that's not showing apps is the main one I use. Here's a screenshot of what I get.
I'm not excited about reflashing, so any other ideas are greatly appreciated. I know I might have to bite the bullet on this one though. Thanks again!
I also meant to suggest you check that you were logged in with the correct account.
That's a pain in the ass...I hope you resolve it.
Are you sure your main account was the one linked with your purchases?
Hello,
I apologize if I am using the wrong terminology.
My company is looking at buying around 100 nexus 10's.
Utilizing the Google Nexus 10 Toolkit that someone here was nice enough to make, I have unlocked the bootloader, rooted, etc.
I then install anttek app manager and use it to freeze all the unnecessary applications my company doesn't want. (which is pretty much everything, except Zenprise, Junos Pulse and Citrix Receiver)
Now that I have the single tablet ready to go, I use my toolbox app, and create a NANDROID backup.
Which I am them hoping I can copy the backup onto a couple different PC's and then assemblyline unlocking the bootloader, installing custom recovery and then restoring the other 99 tablets using this backup I created. Rather than having to go through and freezing all the apps on each tablet
Does this seem like it will work, or is the most efficient way? I'm having problems where I get an error that google play services failed to open upon each boot up that I'm trying to resolve. Would this be considered a ROM? Can I name it? :silly:
Yeah, it should definitely work, I'd just relock the bootloaders on the other devices.
You could also script the freezing of all the packages, I believe the command is "pm disable".
I'm not sure, but it's possible you'll wind up cloning device ID numbers with NANDROID backup.

This sounds like it could very well be possible, you may want to factory reset etc. the first device to try to smooth out the issues before using the backup on any other devices though. In a technical sense you could indeed call it a ROM because you've taken the stock firmware and slightly altered the default system so you could name and then distribute it around the company as your ROM

woot
Thanks folks,
And it's went off without much of a hitch. I'll have to check to see if the device ID's are duplicating. Thinking of naming my ROM "Turning $600 sex machine into a $4 terminal.zip" v.0.4, now.
lol
