So I have been using the scramble 2.2.1 from Rendeiro2005. Very happy with it and will stick with it until there is a good 2.3 mod out.
One weird issue I have been having is that I am unable to update the XDA app that came with the mod. When I go to update it, I get "installation unsuccessful". I tried to just uninstall and reinstall and I am unable to uninstall. With root uninstaller, I get "uninstall unsuccessful".
Not a huge deal, but it is a bit irritating. I looked through the whole thread in the developers forum and didn't see anyone else with this issue. Anyone have any ideas about this?

Oh yeah, when I try to upgrade and it fails, I click on the notification and it says "package not signed correctly".

Ok so I got on a computer and did some searching. I seem to fail at searching the forum from my phone, because I found this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030053
It is odd, because the OP on that thread was having issues with calls and other things because he didn't patch his baseband. I am on 2.1.54 and not having any other issues besides this one. Do I need to do something with the baseband?
you are not able to update XDA app coz its in /system/app folder and not /data/app
as per my understanding
that's becuase it comes packaged with the rom itself.....
BTW any specific reason why you want to update the app...

I checked for an update because it crashed a couple of times and it gets hung up every so often. I uninstalled it with titanium like in the other thread and I am now getting "Incompatible Update" just like that other guy. Now I have nothing.
I made a backup with xrecovery about week ago and I guess i can restore that to get the app back, but I would like to fix this instead. Is there some reference I can remove to be able to install the app in the /data/app folder?

Hi,
I got my Vibrant and I love it! One question i have though is about root. I want to remove the bloatware but will I lose anything if I root? Touchwiz? Anything?
Also, if I remove the bloatware and happen to reset my phone later, would the bloatware come back?
You will lose nothing and it takes like 2 minutes to root your phone.
rooting has no downside that i know of. if you wipe those apps will not come back as far as i know
Awesome, Thank you both for the info
make sure you back up your data
If i root, will i be able to update when samsung puts out an update or anything such as that?
You will be prompted to update, but the update will break the root.

You will need to re-root and it will most probably be available before the update. I'm hoping the custom 2.2 rom will be available by then

If i root will i be able to uninstall all the crap that came with it? Make the battery run longer, and will i be able to revert at any time if i wish?
Okay i removed the Kindle, MobiTV, Avatar, GOGO, Slacker and telenav. The weird thing is that root explorer doesnt want to set it back to r/o and i had 183mb used, relaunched root explorer and now i have 253mb used...did I do something wrong?
EDIT:
Also is it bad that i went into data/data and deleted the folders belonging to what i removed?
EDIT2:
I restarted the phone and now everything force closes >.>
How does one uninstall the bloatware while rooted?

Install Root Explorer from the market and remove the .apks from system/app
Also i heard somewhere to also remove the folders belonging to the app in data/data but im not sure if were supposed to do that x_X
I updated to the new ji6 from samfirmware and don't have access to some apps like fandango. I have read through several threads. There are some people who received the ota that say they can see and download the missing apps, and other people that received it say they can't. The same is true for people who flashed the update through odin. Although, the problem seems more prevalent with people who flashed the tar file with odin.
Anybody have any idea why this is happening?
No, but I heard that people who are updating thru Kies are not having this problem.
There is a fix on the Market but I can't remember the name of the app at this time :/
Anyone know the name of the market app this fixes this?

Have you tried the "app brain" app?
Appbrain will see them but anytime I tried to install them using the fast web installer it always says download unsuccessful. I am to the point where I download them on my MyTouch 3g and put the apk on my vibrant until it gets sorted out.

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
sounds to me that you are getting corrupt downloads, have you tried to dl a diff zip, one that seems to be working for everyone else, and test it? have you upgraded roms today, or changed anything???
I've tried a few... apk downloads are fine but sips are not... I haven't been able to even flash kernels so I haven't done anything new
give us some phon info... rooted? rom? ect...
Rooted with stock Rom and using faux 8.2..... noticed when I tried to flash 8.3 so I tried other zips and nothing downloads
have you tried a full wipe and restoring an older back up... then seeing if that fixes it, or pushing them through ADB?
Restored backup.... don't use adb... I can install them if I put on SD from computer. Just don't download direct any more
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
well i am sorry i cant help you bro... my knowledge base is rather limited, but i have walked you through everything i know how to do... you could get a logcat and give it to the dev of the rom, and i am sure they could help you a bit more. and if you need help on how to get a logcat then go to the resource bible in the dev forum or use the search function, but i can take you no further
Well it was stock tmo so no developer.... I die flash to 8.3 kernel through SD and problem is gone for now.... but thanks for your help
np, and i am glad it is resolved, happy modding
My superuser updated tonight and now it force closes whenever a program asks for access....the Su fix from the market didn't work....root checker is telling me I don't have root access I'm running the latest version of VU any idea guys?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I remember reading something about the new SU update doing this.. i think u have to be fortunate enough to have a previous version backed up from an app like Titanium Backup PRO, for this reason, i keep a seperate SD card where i keep all my Titanium Backups on because you never know what will happen in one release, and cause im addicted to rom flashing/tweaking
I guess just wait for it to get fixed, shouldn't b that long I'd imagine.
Fortunately I do use titanium backup free and nandroid....I did check the bootloader it appears I'm still rooted even though root checker failed to verify...guess I will wait and see if they fix it if not guess ill go to my backup

Try to clear data from superuser (Settings->Application).
@rednoseday this did work kind of...SU will grant the first program permission without a hitch anything after that force closes SU when trying to grant permission....now I am able to open SU itself without a FC now too....I even tried uninstalling the SU update to its original state but still FC anyways....I must say after what u suggested it works better then what it did let's hope for an update soon

Go to the VU thread. There is a fix for this. Works perfectly fine now on my MT4G.
Sent from my GT-I9000 running MIUIusing XDA App
real easy fix... Settings>Manage Apps>Super User> Uninstall Updates>Clear Cache and Data>Reboot.
Also make sure you have "Automatically Update" unchecked in Market so it doesn't just re-download update upon re-boot.
EDIT: has been a known issue since the App Dev's last update on 05 OCT 11
Thanks for the heads up works now

yeah I had same issue, unintentionally updated my SU and it was FC city until I uninstalled the update and cleared app, cache and data, and rebooted after reboot it was smooth sailing and no more issues
I have downloaded the 3.2 update and haven't installed it yet, but it doesn't still want to remind me of the fact many times a day. Any advice on where to go to delete that bad boy so it stops annoying me and I stay on 3.1 with root?
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I had done the same......after a while the tab itself deletes the update and when you click on install for installing the update you will have to download it again....that time just cancel it...and you are done.

I kept getting the original prompt for the update over and over.
On my MT4GS, I did the same thing, downloaded and deleted and it never came back, so I was hoping to do the same thing here, but the downloaded update didn't appear in the download folder. Now I'm not sure where it is.
Is that a problem, or do you still not understand simple topics?
