Installed new theme: market crashing..wtf!?

Hey guys i'm running the current cyanogen mod on my mytouch. I just in the past two days attempted to change the theme. once i did i couldn't download anything from the market, nor could i update any of my apps. each time i do it downloads to 100% (or so it says) and then it asks to force close. I've attempted to reboot my phone and change themes. i'm running the system force theme by prash
any suggestions? i'm a huge tecky but i'm new to this phone so any suggestions would help.
thanks for all your help!

I've had similar problems when I played with the themes. CyanogenMod never caused me problems though. If I remember correctly, I did this for another Rom and it worked. Go into recovery, -> Other -> Fix UID mismatches or something like that. (It might help...? I'm not sure) By the way how did you put on prashes theme? Did you just flash a zip file?

Try opening terminal and type:
su
fix_permissions
Then reboot phone.
FYI: Not sure what theme you're using, but sometimes themes break things. I personally don't use them.

Market missing?

Hey,
I tried searching but i cant seem to find this anywhere.
I tried to flash a new rom, decided i didnt like it, went to do a Nandroid backup, and when i did the market is just missing. the icon for it, the actual program, i cant find it anywhere. In fact every nandroid backup i have doesnt even have the market anymore.
I cant seem to find a solution to this on XDA or on google. Anyone have any idea what happened?

Anyone? I just installed darchdroid 2.6.5 on my son's hero and the market doesn't show up in the apps drawer. I can see /system/app/Vending.apk but I can't see or run the app from the OS.
I did 'adb push Vending.apk /system/app' then rebooted but still no joy. Any ideas?

try navigating to the .apk on your phone with a file explorer, click on it and choose Install. It should reinstall the .apk.
Also try the "fix uid mismatches" in recovery>other

Thanks nebenezer.
The install didn't work from file manager but your comments made me remember what the problem is. I had it on my Hero before but forgot.
I had flashed a blue theme so the /system/app/Vending.apk and /data/app/com.android.vending.apk files were different and wouldn't work for whatever reason. I flashed darchdroid last night without wiping so I guess these are incompatible. So far haven't seen any other problems.
Anyway I just pulled those two files off my hero and pushed them to my son's and everything is good.

[Q] reinstalling a few stock apps on Droid 2

Alright so I have a D2 running the latest Fission rom(2.2.2) and I want to install so of the apps from the stock rom back it, but I am not sure how to. Right now I am trying to put back DLNA(two files) via root explorer by adding in the systems/app folder, but no dice. I even marked the appropriate check marks in properties of both apk per instructed in another thread, but again no dice.
The other app I want maybe a little harder as I was told it may require the MotoBlur framework and stuff. I want to install the Audio enhancement apk which adds some eq presets on to many motoblur devices(I know the Droid X, Defy, and Milestone have it). Is there anyway I can have this installed, or do I have to be stuck using the laggy MotoBlur?
Finally think I want installed is the a different stock browser. I am right now using the stock browser, but not really liking how it looks or works. I previously came from the Eris(Hero), which had a customized stock browser, where in the menu there was back and front arrows(while I only have front, and have to use the hardware back to move back a page). I'd like to know is there anyway I can install the HTC or Samsung browser, which is essentially just a themed stock Android browser, or does that also require their respective frameworks(Sense, and Touchwiz)? Thank you.

Anyone please?

I have a Droid X, and I am also looking for dlna, and a different stock browser help would be appreciated.

anyone please?

[Q] My Touch 4G themes not working

Im having a problem with my mytouch 4G. I rooted my phone the other day and all was going well, then I decided to delete some of the factory apps that I dont ever use. well.. Im guessing I deleted an app or apk. file that I needed, because now I cant change themes, when I click on "themes" it just gives me this error "Unable to find an activity to handle this action" I was thinking it might have to do with the "my modes.apk" but im a noobie at all of this so im really not to sure and im looking for help from the big dawgs.. lol... Here are some steps I have already tried taking. I tried restoring it by doing a system reset, well after doing so I realized I didnt do a backup ugh!! So.. I found the factory rom and tried flashing it so that it would install the apps. or apk. files that im missing... I thought that would be the easiest solution, just to start fresh. When I started I re-downloaded the terminal emulator so I that I could flash the factory rom, but now it wont give me "su" permissions it says "permission denied" again nothing! and noticed I didnt have the Superuser permission app. so I downloaded it off the market thinking maybe it would help but its just black like its not detecting anything. why? that this point I tried dropping the rom zip into the root and booting in reboot mode, I noticed it said wrong img. and didnt do nothing. Am doing something wrong? Other then this my phone works like a champ. Thats why I am asking if anybody can send me the "My Modes apk. file from there my touch 4G. PLZ!!! HELP!!! if you know what the heck is wrong.....these are the apk. files I deleted.

PLZ!!! HELP!! IF YOU CAN AND THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!

Yes, the my modes app controls your themes in stock rom so you need it if you want to switch themes.
If you flashed the TMOUS rom to fix the missing apps problem, you unfortunately unrooted your phone. That's why superuser app isn't responding. There is a nandroid of a stock install which would have been better to use as it wouldn't have undone root. That's too late, it sounds. You need to re-root after flashing TMOUS rom. All should be ok after that.
Sent from my HTC Glacier

no.. I was still rooted after I deleted but I have fixed my problem. I was being dumb and wasnt installing the right superuser app. lol, so after doing so I got super user permissions and just flashed the phone back to the factory rom. thanks for the suggestion anyway.

issues with swype - eh09 pwgb v. 2.0b3 - please help!!

I am currently running powerwashed gb v 2.0 beta3. It has the stock version of swype (or close to it...) and i hate it. I have disabled it, used antTek file explorer to delete swype.apk in root/sys/app and also the swypecore in root/sys/lib and ALSO the swype folder in data/data. swype is still on my phone. I am confused! My superuser has granted anttek permission and blah blah, but the files will not delete no matter what i try to do. i just want to update to the newest beta version of swype since the stock one is horrible. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would have posted this in Dev section, but too few posts on my account and it has denied me...
here are my specs
Current Device: Samsung Fascinate
Current ROM: PWGB EH09 ROM v2.0b3
Current Radio: EC09
Current Kernel: Stock EH09 Kernel
Thank you to anyone who can help! And a BIG Thank You to the devs who put this rom together. So far it is the best I have ever used (and i've tried them all...i think... lol) anyway thanks again!
EDIT: Before doing any of this, naturally, i kill the running swype process and delete the swype installer...

Dont post this type of thing in Dev. Section...this has nothing to do with development.

i figured as much. maybe q+a would be better?
btw, do you have any advice for my swype issue?

I used Titanium Backup to remove swype 2. Worked ok for me. Was able to install swype 3 beta after that

Are you giving the program R/W ability within the folder?
Make sure you pick something like Android Keyboard before you try and uninstall.

thank you sir! I actually deleted the anttek file explorer...cuz its no good... paid for root expl. and did just what you said and now i have the excellent swype beta working on my phone! thank you again!

if you think removing swype was a pain...
I replaced the bootanimation.zip in /system/media...and change the name of original bootanimation.zip & still it played original and the new zip had no affect on boot up at all.
I placed a new bootanimation.zip in /data/local and still same result.
I changed the permissions using Terminal Emulator and also tried the same with a file manager to no avail.
I even deleted the original bootanimation zip and also the one I was trying to install and the phone still booted up as if nothing was ever changed. I eventually bumped something on the screen while changing hands when file snooping and maybe deleted something so I reflashed the PWGB rom again and started over.
I have issues with the USB settings magically being set to "Samsung KIES" [almost]everytime I plug it into my PC, even though I set to MASS Storage or ALWAYS ASK before hand.
any fix on that would be appreciated..
OH BY THE WAY, I LOVE THIS PWGB ROM, I REALLY DO!!!!
***********as of 10/21/11 I give up on trying to change the bootanimation... I have spent too long on that project for nothing.
