psx4droid question - Xoom General

Hi,
Not sure if possible, or this may be simple... but I have psx4droid on my Epic which i bought months ago. It has been removed by Google from the market. I just got a wifi xoom 2 days ago and since it doesn't show up under "My Apps", i can't get it on my Xoom, which i really want.
Is there a way i can somehow copy it from my Epic? Is there another place to get it?
Thanks

hm, grab the apk from the phone? just guessing to be honest.. (if rooted)

Yeah, that's what i was thinking. I should just copy the apk. If you happen to know offhand, where would that be located in the file system? If not, i'll try googling it, but thanks!

/system/app/ perhaps?
or try a titanium backup - that brings up the apk too doesnt it?

I will try that.
Titanium, for some reason that totally escaped me. I have that gnarliness backed up!
Thanks

hopefully it should be no the market again soon, as it was the apps name that was in violation, "PSX" is trademarked

*Warning* New Market(Tmo) Is being pushed OTA

The new market will give FC's and stop you from DL'ing apps from the market. The new market from T-Mo has a new tab and isnt compat with any custom rom using test keys.
Care to cite a source for us?
Edit:
As of the... shoot what is it? The second newest CM (The other one seems to have a bad zip file uploaded D: as 3 downloads of the file with identical sizes, none of them are valid/complete) I can still download, update, and run apps from the marketplace. :3 (1:25 AM PST 12/6/09)
this sucks but i dont think it would affect the canadian users.
Had no problem downloading anything on my phone. The only inconvenience really was that it removed the custom Market Icon as well as the Downloads tab and replaced it with a T-Mobile tab. There was another small nuisance where old app that I have backed up and had installed using an app manager are now showing up as having an update available (I have them backed up and install them manually because updates have crippled the app, so I obviously don't want the update).
There is a very simple way to revert back to the old market. Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market>Uninstall Updates.
Note, your old apps will still show up as having updates available, if you have installed backups from your sd card. Uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling did not work for me.
I have g1 with cyanogen 4.2.8 and run partioned sd card for my apps. I just went to the market after reading this and had 5 updated apps. updated and installed all with no problems.
Will have to admit that I am not clear what the orginial post was about or what he is actually trying to say. My understanding is that tmobile is trying to go after the rooted phones out there?

Nope... I'm on Dwang's v1.13 and got the update. No issues with downloading apps. T-mobile isn't trying to mess with rooted phones...just pushing T-mo specific stuff to our phones to "add value" to our Market experiences. I think Verizon does similar stuff on the Eris and Droid.
I am unable to install after the update, it will download, then force close upon installation attempt. I have to remove the update (setting, manage applications) each time I want to download from the market. Yes, it keeps updating on its own after each uninstall.
Nope, T-Mobile is not going after rooted phones. The new market update allows you to get paid apps and have them billed to your phone bill, rather then using Google Check Out. I think Sprint and Verizon are doing the same thing as well, but T-Mobile was the first to implement.

Since uninstalling the update using the method I posted, the Market update has not been reappied by T-Mobile. I think you might have other problems.

I don't think Mlign's Hero rom will get it since it's a 1.5 firmware... but I may be wrong.
I'm saying that because I haven't had a map update yet with the nav option.
I've had Market 1660 since it leaked about a week ago.
The only new tab that I notice is the one that says T-Mobile where it used to say Downloads.
Those that are gettinc FC's should try to get a logcat and maybe try clearing their cache. If that doesn't work then do a backup using nandroid then try pulling the /system/app/Vending.apk file, resign it and then push it back and see if it works then. That may be the reseason why mine works and none of yours do because I've included the newer version in my CHM Theme. However I don't have the alternate form of payment (onto the T-Mobile bill) as of yet. I just bought something domestic ($.99) and the only option that I had through Google Checkout was credit card. Those that have the new market (1660)... do you have any other payment options?

I'm wondering if it's something that T-Mobile has to activate themselves?
And I don't think that CM is going to do anything because of the C&D that he recieved after he released the 1.6 Market prematurely onto 1.5 devices.

probably though i dont know why theyre being so quiet about it, i would think if it comes to messing with your money they would at least make sure everyone knows so they dont accidentally do buy something then see it on there bill(it could happen! lol)
and i was hoping maybe cm would suggest like a work around or a solution. well, i dont really need the new market.. dont like the new category(there suggestions suck) and i actually like the google checkout! do you think there are any side effects from uninstalling the new market?

you wouldn't have done a nandroid backup pre-morph, did you?
If so then restore and see if the market updates later.

So i am fairly new to root, to roms, to cooking, etc... (jumped the gun and was on leak 3 forever, got a refurb due to a cracked screen, which had leak 3 on it (go figure) so anyway, i'm cooking myself a rom, and i'm wondering, how would i link an app that i know is in the market (but i have pulled from my phone to put into this rom) back to the market, so it would receive updates. Like, i'm using Launcher Pro as my launcher, but it's not linked to the market, it's always going to be at version like 0.7.0.4 unless i manually update it... and i feel like there is a way to link it...
Any help appreciated, tried to search, but it was no luck.

The only thing i can think of is when there is a new update download it from the market, overwriting the app in itself, which will put it into the update loop. an educated guess but it may work. the only thing that might stop it is that it will be cooked in as a system app and i dont know if the market will let you overwrite it.
make sure the apk is installed to /data/app
and NOT /system/app
should update fine then
ok, yea i had tried to put apps in their before, but those apps have to be in com.domain.package.apk format... and then they automatically get linked to market, i have no idea any of the reasons for why any of this works, but it does, so thank you

Google Earth: 2.1 ROMS (Syndicate/Epic Experience/Baked Snack, etc)

Hi,
I'm at the end of my patience here. I've had all 3 of these roms installed, and they all work great, except that google earth NEVER shows up in the market. I found a google_earth.apk, and Installed it from ES File Manager, and it works except when I try to clear the cache, or change any of the layers. And on the first attempt it crashes but 2nd or more, it will work if no settings are changed. I've already tried to fix permissions in clockwork but to no avail. Any suggestions?
From what I've read by searching Google, I think Google actually removed this from the market for some reason.
EDIT: Either that or they've changed it to 2.2 and above only. Haven't used 2.2 yet so I'm not sure if its there or not.
well then I guess I should be happy with what works??? lol! But if anyone wants the file, here it is. See what you can do with it.

I'm on the 2.2 Beta and its in the market for me. so if you really can't locate it in the market then i would assume you are right in that its only for froyo now. in which case you can probably install an earlier version of google earth and run it without any problems. i'lll see if i can find one in one of my old backups somewhere if you would like.
I would really appreciate that!

I doubt that would work, since you have to connect to google servers to run the program and they force you to use the most current version.
Worst case scenario you will get it when the official 2.2 is out, won't be long.
randomly now it works without any problems. strange.
Probably put it 2.2 only for the size. I still have ir installed on 2.1 and it works fine, I can pull the apk later and pay it If anyone wants it.

How Do I Get Rid Of Sprint Voice Mail - It Just Won't Go

Yesterday I got the mandatory Sprint Voice to text update. This really upset me as the main reason I rooted my phone was to get rid of the bloat ware. So now I have Sprint nagware to deal with. So today I installed and set up the Google Voice Mail program and it works really nice. So I decided to delete/uninstall the Sprint Voice Mail Program. I used Titanium back up and I deleted the program. Everything still works well so I figured it was gone and that was that. Later I looked in my app drawer and was surprised to see that the icon for the sprint voice mail was still there. So I tried to drag it into the garbage and it wouldn't go. So I go into root explorer and to to system>app and go down the list looking for a sprint widget that I needed to get rid of and didn't find one. I also made sure that the sprint voice mail program wasn't in there either. So I shut off the phone and started it again figuring that the program was still in memory. Well after the reboot the program is still on my phone and now it's acting like it's a brand new account and asking me if I want to set it up. So this comes to my question how do I get rid of the Sprint Voice Mail. I can't find it in my system folder so what's going on? Anyone else experience this???
Help is always appreciated............

You can try to mount your system and remove it via Terminal Emulator. Its a pretty simple process with only a few commands if you want to have a go that route.

It's a system app, updatecore.apk or such
Not sure what updatecore.apk is but as you pointed out it's probably a big deal.
Driving home from work today I was thinking about all this and then it dawned on me that I didn't really delete the Sprint Voicemail app as I thought. Earlier I was using Titanium and I was about to delete the Sprint voice mail app when I realized that it was telling me it was going to delete "Data" only. So in reality I only deleted the Voicemail data and not the entire program. You are probably correct that this program is securely nestled within the core of the Android/HTC/Sprint package. Truly amazing as this may be one of those things that you cannot get rid of. Unless it resides in it's own .apk somewhere and I can target that one program I'm very hesitant at this point to go after it. The interesting thing about deleting the data is it seems to have reverted back to the older version. A box came up after I rebooted the phone asking me if I wanted to personalize my voice mail like I did the first time months ago. Plus being it's not technically "working" as it's not personalized the sprint genie can't target me for upgrade as it doesn't know I'm using it. What do you think of that idea?
So here is where I am. I have the Google voice mail working and it's a very cool little program. I have a "Google phone number" that is free and actually works but I don't have to do anything about it as my original phone number works the voice mail just fine. So in reality I may have beaten Sprint to at least a draw on this one................
So to recap, I would say, if you don't want the voice to text sprint app you could go into Applications and delete the "DATA" and then it doesn't know who you are. Just leave the sprint voice mail application in the "unsetup state" and the monster "Mandatory Update" can't find you. You have effectively turned off the sprint voice mail that way and then you can install a third party like Google voice mail or You mail or anything you want.
Give me you take on this idea. I think this is whats going on and this may be the only fix to opt out of the Sprint program.................
For future reference, all system (non-deletable) applications are located in /system/app. Use Root Explorer to go there and delete them. I think what he meant was to delete the Sprint Updater, which I think is Sprint_Updater.apk, also in that folder.

Ok.... I thought it was something VMCore.apk
I don't remember. I deleted it and put it back with the name "Sprint_VM.apk". Doesn't matter what it's named, but I think you're right about "VMCore.apk".
Okay Gentlemen, I have looked for all those files and the only one that is there is the Sprint_Updater.apk. Nothing there that has a VM or VVM or Sprint VVM or anything like that. I am running the .6 version of the Sprint stock 2.1. But I believe I have it disable for now. As I wrote previously by deleting the data file I have essentially not activated the program. If you do come up with the file to delete that would take the VVM with it I will certainly give it a try but there is nothing in the system>app folder that looks even close.
I so appreciate you taking you time to weigh in on this problem.
Thank you.........

For the life of me I couldn't find what the apk was named -_- Was about to flash 2.1 to find out ha ha
Though I think Regaw's toolbox may allow you to remove it.

Well Gentlemen, again I just went though that directory vary carefully again and there is nothing that even comes close to a VVM or "voice mail" reference at all. It's simply not there.
Have you guys deleted this off your phones before? I guess you all are running some other Rom then the stock one so you haven't faced this mandatory update thing. But the files you are suggesting to remove are not in that directory. As I mentioned the Updater is there in two versions Sprint Updater and just plane Updater.
I don't believe this issue is worth you flashing the stock rom just to check it but that is a real offer and I appreciate that. I admire you guys that flash these phones just for the heck of it. When I have flashed the phone it makes my heart stop.
But thank you for all your responses. I certainly appreciate it........

I don't use stock, and yes I have been able to eliminate VVM.... did you reboot after deleting? Are you looking under system/app?

I was thinking the same thing that maybe the program was still resident in the memory so I pulled the battery and everything. It's Sprints FU to the rooting community I guess...............

Okay, you guys aren't going to believe this. But I rebooted the phone and I checked the data/app and the data/app-private. Found nothing in there. Then I went back to the app drawer and the offending program is GONE! I can't find any vestige of it anywhere. So I gather mission accomplished! I don't know what happened as earlier I did the reboot twice and pulled the battery each time and the third time was the charm for some reason.

Anyone going to the NYC event tomorrow?

I may unroot my tab to attend..
anyone else?
party time?
I am going to try and go, it is going rain which is going to blow but temps drop to 76.
I may leave between 12-1 from downtown.
Yes, I plan to go. Would also like to know how to un-root my Tab beforehand. Links anyone?
Sure am.. luckily, I work 3 blocks away from the event.

Wow, very convenient. I used to work on 52nd and 5th which would be a lot better than downtown by the Seaport.
I wonder what time would be the best to go?
Thinking about it, but I'm unclear if they'll update my LTE or if this is wifi only thing. If not....what? I have to wait to Verizon to update...?
For all you kind folks that are going to the event. Please make a backup copy of the files Samsung sideloads for you, so we can get a copy that day.
We would love you long time!

Not a stupid question. I would use a File Manager & copy the files to another folder. Depending on how the file manager handles coping, you either press on the file until a menu comes out or hit select then select which files you want to copy then go to a folder & hit paste.
I would think that you would use Odin to make a complete copy of ROM and apps.

But if they are sideloading will they be leaving the files they sideload on the device or will they be deleted by them?
I was thinking about this earlier, how they are going to load and if they will delete the files or not.
Would this lock the tablet? Anyway to prevent that. I might go however I would like to keep my tablet unlocked.
yeah I would imagine they dont just give you the file and let you go from there... id imagine you give them the device and they give it back with the update already installed and finished...
i doubt they'll leave the file on there...
I called them at NYC Columbus circle they said 1PM is press conference so come at 3PM tomorrow for update. They will update it between 3PM to 6PM. The person said make a backup because it will wipe everything on the device.
Will they be steaming this?

Thanks for the heads up.
My GT is so new and I have not really added any files that I don't really need a backup. I am not rooted so I don't even know how I would backup, does TB work on here without root?
On a side note I was actually thiking about restoring to stock before I go so I don't have any of my accounts/passwords in the tab when I hand it over to them.

But if they are sideloading will they be leaving the files they sideload on the device or will they be deleted by them?
I was thinking about this earlier, how they are going to load and if they will delete the files or not.

that my friend is the million dollar question. You are probably right in that they probably won't leave the file laying around so you can share it with others. Maybe it will be an update file that you boot into recovery & run it from there. I'm thinking that will be the easiest way, correct me if I'm wrong here.
I might just fly out there for the day just to do this. If I do, maybe I could rip the update. I'm not a fan of New York though and I'd be lost, but whatever
I just gave them a call and this "event" will only update the Wifi version. LTE will be updated through Verizon whenever that happens
