All.
My appologies if the fix is somewhere through this wonderful maze of knowledge. I have recently updated to a donated version of Liberty 2.0.1. I love this ROM. I have also themed to the amazing Epic Blue theme. Running Launcher Pro Plus with very little other mods or tweaks. My issue is that everytime I apply the theme, my Market app breaks. I can no loner find it in my app drawer and the short cut on home screens is there but doesn't work. Then I try to reinstall it via another theme or by file manager it still will not install. I'm still rather new to ROMs, but have technical knowledge. Any guidance on how to reinstall the market app will be appriciated. Right now the only way to get it back is to really store a backup or wipe everything and really flash which as you all know is time consuming.
If you go to settings > applications > manage applications, is it in the list under all?
Thanks for the reply. No. That's strange right? Its now where. The only thing I can think is its because I have a custom icon for it on the dock using launcher pro plus. But, if that where true them all apps like this would act the same right?
Im pretty sure the marketis not installed on your phone. I have two ways to get it back:
1. Using root explorer, go into one of the themes and copy the market app into /system/app. Then install it
2. Google search 38 themed markets. It should be the first site. Download one, and flash it in CWM.
Hey man, stetsonaw from DF (aka the creator of EpicBlue).
It seems you downloaded my OLD version of the theme, which breaks markets, that WAS in the Liberty Toolbox.
Here's what you do.
-Install Liberty without wiping data (wipe cache and dalvik cache)
-Verify the market is now there
-head over to DF and grab my new and more epic version of the theme (google EpicBlue Liberty, you have the discontinued one, grab the proper one for your X)
-make a backup
-install theme
oh, and take two, call me in the morning
The latest version of Acer Recovery Installer is now available on the Android Market (once the market lets it through anyway) and can also be downloaded here for those that can't access the market. It is recommended you install the market version, so that you get update notifications via market when a new version is available.
This version DOES NOT include thor's latest clockwork recovery image, due to GPL violations. However, it will recognize them (1.4, 1.41 and 1.42) if installed. All new features of Acer Recovery Installer will work with CWM rev 1.3.4 (included) and higher. If you want to use thor's latest version, keep a copy of his recovery.img in the root of your Micro-SD and use the "Custom" option in ARI to install it.
New Premium Features!
Backup/Restore - This will let you initiate a Nandroid Backup or Restore procedure without having to manually boot into recovery. It will see all your previous Nandroid backups, whether they are on your Micro-SD or USB drive, and let you selse which partitions to restore. The tablet will then automatically reboot to ClockworkMod recovery to do the backup or restore process, then reboot back to normal mode.
Download/Install ROMs - This feature will allow you to download the various ROMs from the internet and initiate the install process. You have the option of having it autotically run a nandroid backup and/or wipe date before installing the selected ROM. Again, the tablet will reboot into ClockworkMod recovery to do the work.
Note about XooM based ROMs. XooM ROMs do not let an apps write directly to the Micro-SD card due to a premission restriction. So when the Download/Install ROMs module tries to download the ROM List or a ROM File on a XooM based ROM, it must download it to your /mnt/sdcard/download folder and then move it to the proper place on the Micro-SD card, which is in a folder called "ROMs". All other ROMs download directly to the ROMs folder of your Micro-SD.
Note about Virtuous ROMs. The author has not given me permission to mirror his ROMs on a server that can handle direct hot-linking. Therefore, the Virtuous ROMs could not be included in this release. If he gives me permission, or provides a way to direct hot-link to his ROMs, then I will include them.

Thank you very much. I was astounded at how easy and convenient you've made things. I think we all know how to do this manually but it's wonderful to not have to.
One question, do i need to do something to be able to use the premium features? I couldn't find a premium version of the app or anything.
It's included in v2.0. Make sure you have CWM installed, then the prem buttons will be enabled. You can bypass purchasing while until the beta period is over on Aug 26th.

That's the strange thing. I've got 1.3.4 installed off acer recovery installer v2.0. Tested by backing up. But the premium feature buttons are still greyed out.

Ahh.. what is the message immediately below the buttons? If it's not recognizing cwm, you probably don't have busybox installed. You can install "busybox installer" from the market and use that to install the latest busybox version, or... tommorrow I'll make an update that will fix the problem.
Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks!

I found a lot more busybox dependencies when adding new features last night. v2.1 will come out in a couple of days and all the busybox dependencies will be removed.
It will also have stock roms in the list with an option to add root access to it on the fly.
Cheers,

Great additions to the app. One question tho, under the stock roms the option "Disable Stock Recovery Overwrite?" if this is checked, does this mean it will leave CWM alone?

yep.. normally, stock roms will overwrite the recovery on boot-up. Having that checked will turn off the execute bit on the install-recovery.sh script, preventing it from overwriting CWM.
V2.2 is available. Has on option to install itself on top of any selected roms. Also added some new roms.

Are you on a stock ROM, or one of the custom ROMs? if Custom, which one? Do you have your google account registerd on your tablet and connected to the internet?
PM me with your google account address and I'll check to see if there's something pending.
So i was browsing market apps yesterday and ran across ROM toolbox (formerly Liberty toolbox).
After downloading it I was amazed at how much more functionality and options it brings to the table when compared to ROM manager.
Basic Comparison:
ROM MANAGER
Flash CWM
Reboot into Recovery
Install Rom from SD Card
Download Roms and Check for Updates
Install from QR Code
Manage and Restore backups
Nandroid backup
Fix permissions
Partition Sd Card
Pro Price: $5.99
ROM TOOLBOX
Download Roms and Check for Update
Install Rom from SD Card
Manage and Create Nandroid backups
Wipe Cache Data Dalvik and battery stats
Change battery Icon and System Fonts
data and system app manager (unisntall , freeze, clear cache etc
app backup and restore
Batch apk install
Set min/ max CPU frequency
Scaling governor ( performance/powersave)
Sysctl config
Minimum free memory taskiller will keep
Zip align system and data apps
Fix permissions
Run custom scripts
Mount /system as writable
Block ads via hosts file (who doesn't like this)!
Enable disable boot animation
File manager, Change LCD density, Change VM heap size
Change wifi scan interval
More stuff that I skipped
Pro Price: $5.00
In a nut shell, its like ROM manager combined with ad free, titanium backup, set CPU, and root explorer for only $5.00
I know people around here think that ROM manager is the best thing since sliced bread but was curious to see you guys opinions on ROM toolbox.
Anyone have the pro version??
Your right...it rocks!!! It can even enable powersave on setcpu!!!
Agreed, will definitely purchase the pro version.

So you're comparing apples to oranges, I don't see the point.
ROM Manager is an application designed to flash zips, install ROMs and make full nandroid backups from inside Android using CWM recovery.
ROM Toolbox looks like a set of tools that might be useful if you're rooted or using a custom ROM.

Actually no, ROM toolbox makes nandroid backups and flashes ROMs too, only with a lot more options and functionality. So its apples to apples my friend.. Or oranges to oranges
Looking in https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox it's supposed to be able to flash ROMs too hmm
Just downloaded it, nice...
Has anyone tried Root Toolbox. There is a free and a pro version.
Looks like a great app.

Both are very useful because of total different Apps. But you could compare Absolute System Tool and Root Toolbox
Form is temporary but Class is permanent. I love Liverpool FC.

Thanks for reminding me about this. I had found it before we had the unlocked boot loader and most of the options weren't applicable yet. I am definitely going to go grab this right up.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I am glad you guys have found this useful. I will update the OP later with a side by side comparison for the non-believers..
If anyone bought the pro version I would like to know the differences between it and the the free because I am certainly contemplating buying it myself.
I downloaded it to try it out, but it turns out I'm missing busybox.
I'm rooted on stock 2.3.4, unlocked bl.
I thought the Atrix came with its own busybox installation, or am I wrong? I seem to recall something posted by designgears that it had it in its stock rom.
If not, would installing busybox from the market be safe?

I dont think stock ROM comes with busybox.
But you should be fine downloading "busybox installer" from the market. Mine is installed to /system/bin and everything works great.
The creator of ROM toolbox also has a busybox installer app. Get the one by jrummy
Either or:
https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox&feature=search_result
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&feature=search_result
Both Busybox are alright to use.
Wow, toolbox is great. Im thinking about getting pro with my next paycheck. Any feedback from anyone with it would be greatly appreciated.
Mobile Glowy Atrix.
ya I have the pro.... haven't done to much with it yet cause I Do Not have my Boot Loader Unlocked so I've been cautious on what I try.. I know that Rom manager is mainly for an unlocked boot, I have backed up my apps and changed my system fonts, don't no if I can back up my rom or not..... here's a pic of my font

Are there any features included in the pro version that are not in the free version?? Just curious, but it looks like I'm going to purchase it either way.
Also, what are you waiting for???? get to unlocking that bootloader !
Its a great application and the dev is fantastic. The bad thing can't download ATRIX roms yet because it isn't supported fully.

Rom toolbox is great but what is the one thing you need for flashing roms... Let's see uh RECOVERY, which rom toolbox doesn't give you so it really is comparing apples to oranges
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
It's more like comparing the features that utilizes "Recovery" because you don't need Rom Manager to get recovery either. Actually, the fine people here at XDA had a working recovery before Rom Manager's CWM was working on the Atrix.
The beautiful part about this is we all can make our own choices.

I've built the launcher from source. I've only tested this on pre-beta3 and pre-beta4. From what I can tell it's safe to uninstall ADWlauncher and just run the Gingerbread Launcher.
Option 1
Download - Launcher2.apk
http://www.mediafire.com/?85gd6yew4yrsf0g
Update: Added some screenshots. Sorry if one of them looks like it's an overlay. I was using the screenshot tool from CM7 and it makes the black wallpaper look a bit transparent.
Option 2 (Full ROM)
Here's a working CWM ROM package. This is a full wipe as it's the entire pre-beta4 release with ADWLauncher removed and Launcher2 installed.
Instructions:
- Create a backup of current ROM or APPS
- Reboot into recovery and select "wipe data/factory reset"
- Then go to Advanced and "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
- Now you can install the ROM, "install zip from sdcard"
Download - pre-beta4 w/Launcher2
http://www.mediafire.com/?6z4b6c864k66nm2
Option 3 - Install via CWM
Download - AOSP Launcher CWM package
http://www.mediafire.com/?v1t2ci1062qkm3b
Note: Can be installed right after initial install of pre-beta4. (worked for me anyway)
Instructions:
- Create a backup of current ROM or APPS
- Reboot into recovery and select "wipe cache"
- Then go to Advanced and "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
- Now install the zip using the "install zip from sdcard"
I'd like to note that I am not part of the Atrix-dev-team and all thanks should go to them. They created the ROM and have worked hard to get it to this point. I only replaced the launcher.

You need to use root explore and put it in /system/app set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.You may also need to delete ADW boot into recovery clear cache and dalvik cache.

Only if you use the full CWM package. If you use adb to push the apk over you only need to clear your cache.

Doesn't have the 3D effect.
I just pulled a stupid, i installed the launcher after downloading through standard install. But home was still adwlauncher, so I decided to freeze adw. However then no launcher worked, so I figured I would restart. Now cm7 wont boot fully because I must have messed up and its not finding a launcher.
Is there a simple way to unfreeze launcher through console commands?
OR
Is there a way to simply re-install adwlauncher?
OR
Anything else you can think that could easily fix this?

I've already downloaded and installed them via TWRP, but I dont see the market listed in my apps. Is it just built into the CM7 system now? because when I press the searchbar I have the option to search the market. I'm not connected to wifi at my house so i can't tell otherwise.
If it doesn't show in your app drawer, then use root explorer to install it. I had to install it manually after installing gapps. It was located @ /system/app/vending.apk - I just clicked it and installed it. After that, a quick reboot and I was good.
