[SOLVED] Fast Web Installer not working on Droid 2

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.

[Q] Question about my new DX (new for me anyway)

My brother in law recently switched over to SPRINT and gave me his pretty new DX. I can't activate the phone until next week (because he made the mistake of porting the phone number BEFORE he gave me the phone) so according to VZW i have to wait until that process is completed and the billing cycle is finished before I can use the phone. (I don't think he plans on paying them )
My question is...can I root the DX before I actually get it linked to my VZW phone number? (like remove google apps and just use the phones capabilities like camera etc. without having to call and activate it) I'm coming from HTC Droid eris so I don't know much about rooting the DX yet.
Can someone help me please.

I believe you can, I think theirs a way to bypass the activation screen. You might be able to find it on the forums or if not just Google it I'm sure you can find it.

Yes you can root it without being on a network. all you need to do is go back out of this thread and read the first sticky and go to the wiki. I would post link but since this is my first actual post i cant
And after your phone reboots you can get passed the little android man by touching each corner in a circular motion.

I hope for your sake that your brother in law pays Verizon. If he doesn't in they most likely blacklist the phones esn.

But keep in mind if the phone doesn't have OTA 2.2 you might want to keep all apps because the update might fail because missing files.

You don't even need to do the 4 corner trick.
Touch the android, hit next until you have the options of "create google login, sign in, or skip" and just choose skip. That easy.
That's assuming he's at the "touch to begin screen" which he probably isn't being that he's the second owner.
...but yeah, check the sticky and root away.

Thanks for the information guys. Yeah I really hope that they allow him to give me his phone. I kept verifying with the rep that it would be okay to transfer the phone, he said it should be okay since it's HIS property. But i never know with those guys...
I don't plan on removing any apps at all I just want get the root access and ready so when I do hook it up, it'll be ready to go.
I'm excited to see what you guys have in store for this phone...especially coming from the Eris.

Just connect with wifi and use as normal. That easy. You can even setup a google account and use market and have all the sweet and chewies of using the X less the ability of calls and texts.
As stated above, if he doesn't pay the bill VzDubya will (normally) put the phone on the do not activate list. Again though this wont effect use while connected to wifi.

Will I have to set the phone to USB debugging mode if I try and root?
If so, I dont think I'll be able to root since I can't even get passed the "Activation Screen"
Also, how can I check to see what android version he is on (2.1 or 2.2) How do I look at the bootloader info...can I do that w/o Root? Is that dangerous? I don't want to brick the phone...
sorry for all the questions guys appreciate your patience.

Anyone?

Press menu then setting scroll to the bottom of the list to about phone click it and your info will be there. Just a thought if you don't know how to find something that simple are you sure you want to be playing with root.

The main direction this mod is just the very thing. Make sure you do have a Google Voice Account. You can get one free at http://google.com/voice Just be sure to load the Google Voice App, There is two applications, one is the modern texting app from the Play Store, and was is an integrated VoIP app, it's from another project from Sipdroid, I am going to update the version of it as well, but after you have your google account setup with your phone, you can simply open the app and click Register PBX Account for your Google Voice, and a registry box will appear for you to setup another account. It's really simple. I hope to make a video for it later on. Also I will also include a boot animation for the phone.

Great idea! I'm definitely trying this on my old HTC Hero. Is it a complete ROM or a patch for a ROM ? Because the zip is kinda small...4mb only.

It's not a compete rom, in order for me to do that, I would have to work on each phone at a time.

The first app is the text messaging app, created by Google developers, and is already out on the market, at no cost.
The second app is a developer made app from a open source code for Sipdroid, I have modified the application and modified it to integrate it with the mod. So it's under Google Voice as a name.

I went ahead and made adjustments to the mod, it is now once again been reupdated, so if you used it already, just reload the back and do it again. I'm also going to make a uninstaller for this.

So is the text messaging app the Google Voice app then?
Here is something to think about - and it's actually kinda a big deal to me.
One of the STUUUPID things that verizon has done to us is to strip the VOIP settings out of the native dailer. If you use any of the 3rd party ROMS (well - any of the 3rd party ROMS that are not BLUR based) - you get that feature back in the native dailer. So what would be better would be to not install the sipdroid client at all and just use the native dailer to do all this.
Believe it or not that is one of my two HUGE complaints about this phone. If you want the VOIP in the native dailer - you loose HDMI because no 3rd party ROMS support it.
Now, interestingly, my HUGE 2nd complaint is that the lapdocks totally suck and I've never had any success with any of my lapdocks/bionics getting them to actually work. Even doing a factory reset..etc etc etc - the freakn lapdocks just dont freakn work.
I guess at this point (or pretty soon anyway) I'm not going to care because when my sucky verizon contract is up in a couple of months I'm switching carriers to Sprint and getting a Galaxy Note 2. I would get it on verizon - but the stuuuupid verizon folks have locked the bootloader on it and the stuuuupid verizon doesn't have unlimited bandwith and Sprint does.
My experience with VZ has been horrific. My HDMI didn't work so they sent me a 2nd phone. I sent the first one back but they claim they never got it and charged me $600 bucks for it. To top that off the 2nd phone's HDMI doesn't work either - and the friends phone that DOES have a working HDMI still wont work with the lapdock..etc etc etc.
Basiaclly they've screwed me out of about 700 bucks and I still don't have a working unit.

It's not clear for me... Does this replaces sms/dialer with GV compatible ones? or it is a whole ROM by itself (very basic one just for making calls/text)?

Is it country specific ? As I lives in India where is no google voice yet , which I eagerly wanted to try on my nexus 7 which do not have calling facility.

What are you missing without Root?

I thought I would start a thread and find out what people have missed not having root. What I was also thinking is that maybe some of these things could be achieved some other way but I just don't know how and others might.
1. Titanium backup. Not only could you backup applications you could freeze and uninstall any apps. I hate that I can't uninstall bloatware.
2. Would love to be able to long press the volume keys to skip tracks like with xposed
3. Xposed.
4. Clearing Cache (Delvik and Cache)
5. Full backup in TWRP
6. The annoying warning when listening to music too loud. Get rid of that!
I'm sure I have missed a bunch but those are the ones that I miss the most.

Titianium is my #1 missed program and the reason I started rooting my devices in the first place! Second to that I miss the "hold back to kill" feature and also call recording. Most apps are getting better at being able to save progress or data to the could or to the SD card, but not all. Once root is achieved, I will do it just to get TiBu working again!

For me since i was able to get tethering working i am not missing anything. if/when sprint takes it away i will be sad. Actually i am kinda of relieved that this phone has to stay stock and i can't modify it. I was a flash once or twice a day some times kinda of guy before and i was alway frustrated with how unstable Android would get when flashing that much. With the power this phone has it does not need most of the things we needed with the s4 or note's. by far the best phone i have had, It will be tough to give it up when the s8 comes out next year (since i am on the galaxy for life plan) but im sure i will swap it out, unless they pull another s6 and take the sd card away again.

CM based roms.
Full control of phone, ie being able to force phone into roaming. (Im actually having a roaming data issue that I cant troubleshoot unless Im in a roaming area and thats usually when Im driving so its impossible to troubleshoot).
TiBu and backups
Bloatware removal
General troubleshooting ability
I have been tempted to go back to my fully modded and custom GS4 several times now but havent yet reached the breaking point.

Thanks, I'll look into that one. Usually the non-rom based ones require the phone to be on speakerphone to record. Perhaps things have changed though.
Just tried it out and it won't work. It only records my side of the conversation and not the other end. Oh well

My primary reason to root in the past, other than bloatware removal and the hotspot mod, was an app requiring root that I have run on my last 6 phones, going back to the original Epic 4G. It's called "Call Master" (by "Fahrbot") and it is one of the most complex apps I've ever used, besides some of the Wanam apps/plugins. It's the most comprehensive call blocking app as far as I know, and that's why it requires root, to hook into the phone's services in order to catch/answer/hang-up any call from any number that is not in my contact list. It prevents non-contacts/unknown/restricted/private numbers from even ringing my phone, let alone leaving me a voicemail. They just hear dead air when they dial my number. In effect, it is a "white-list" call blocking *root-only* app, and I I simply can't live without it. The built in so-called "blocking" settings of the S7E seems to send callers to voicemail, which defeats the whole point. That's call rejection, not call blocking, right?
I REALLY NEED A SOLUTION FOR THIS!! Spam calls driving me nuts and getting a VM means they register it as a known active cell#.
Does anyone out there know of a non-root call blocker app that has a white-list function, AND will truly block/hangup instead of just rejecting calls? So glad you created this thread OP. Some of the solutions given in response to what people are missing without root are things I already know I'll try out.

Go to the developers page in the play store and it should be there. I think the "premium" version has a different name for some reason.

Hotspot

Geez, I'd miss a lot of important calls if I blocked any number not in my contacts. Businesses including doctor's office, frequently show a different outgoing number than the number they give you to call. People I know who use a different number than normal. My wife once left her phone somewhere, and a stranger found it and called me (my number was on her lock screen). It would have been gone forever if I blocked all unknown numbers.

If you want to continue to use stock room, and need hot spot, there is a trick using the app shortcut master from the market where you just have to edit 1 line . It works on LG g2 and g3 (I used it). If anyone wants to try, I'll look for a link to the directions.

No good. Those values don't show up in shortcut master.
Anyone had any luck with this? I can't find the file that OMJ is talking about to save my life. I don't see any attachments.
I've tried editing my build.prop and I've tried editing the default xml to change the rules and enforcement to 0.
The latter DID let the hotspot start for me. Other devices can connect. But they never get network connectivity.
Can anyone help me confirm what I'm missing?

Fabio Grasso's WiFi Tether app works for me on the 10.

I can't get it to work on mine! I've achieved root, installed the app, matched all the settings up....no internet connection. It's strange, my Ipad can see the network and it says it's connected. As soon as I connect it though I lose internet connection on both devices, can't load a single web page. Did you have this issue at all or would you have any idea what would cause this? I'm at my wits end with it, and I've used this app for 2 years on my M8.

HAH. I couldn't get it to work with this app (not initially anyway). I turned to his site to check if there were settings already available to use for the HTC 10 because it couldn't auto-detect the wifi adapter name. On his site, it says HTC users need to uninstall "TetherGuard" - system app.
Did that, figured I'd reboot and try the built in tethering which now works beautifully. Got it still within my refund window for Wifi Tether Router.
So some combination of what I posted above plus UNINSTALL TETHERGUARD! And life's good now. Thanks much.

You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall TetherGuard since you're rooted, instead of just disabling it.

Anyone want to post the specific changes/tweaks they've done? I've done changes to build.prop and default.xml (using the various settings found all over XDA) and also disabled/removed TetherGuard, but I'm still stuck at hotspot enabling but no data connection for any connected devices (data still works for the phone while hotspot is on though).

The apns have to be modified, we used to edit the database manually, but now edit in framework-res, I'll post a zip later.
