[Q] android market for ICS Beta - Xperia Arc General

Hi Team,
I have installed the ICS Beta ROM in Xperia ARC S.
I am able to make Wifi+Bluetooth and Root but now I am stucked at Android Market.
I have tried few of the steps for copy and paste the Vending.apk in /system/apps and changing its permissions but this doesnt help much.
Whenever I am trying to launch Market, its running in the backend but interface doesnt comes up.
Any one who can help me to fix my Android Market in ICS Beta ROM??
Thanks

Guys its sorted now problem was with sdcard
Sent from my LT18i using XDA

just try other moded ics rom, like ka06 ics rom, my current rom

I had the same issue with you and couldn't find solution, so i returned to stock 2.3.4.
I will be following this topic and hope you will find solution.

Hi the problem was with Sdcard.
After installing the ICS Beta, I took backup of each file and folder from my sdcard into a folder on my computer.
Format the SDCARD using the option available in the ROM.
Copy the required ZIP files back to Sdcard. Then you will be able to install any ZIP or New ROM from the SDcard.

[Q] Automatic backups on ChocolateEclair?

Hi,
I am using my Hero with the ChocolateEclair 2.0 ROM + AP2SD. I have a /sdcard/backup folder with most of my apk's backed up there. The latest apk was copied there today I am definitely not doing these backups manually.
I wonder which application does this for me? Is it a Market or is is the ROM itself?
Thanks

Arabic Language Support in MDJ Desire Rom

Hi Guys,
I just want to inform you that, Yesterday I've been able toget the full Arabic support on my HD2 Device (Orignal SMS, Mail, Google Mail, FaceBook, Twitter, Calendar, Contacts....) the only thing I've removed the Intrenet Application and I'm using now the Delphin Browser with full Arabic Support.
I'm using MDJ Froyo Sense Revolution V 1.7
Steps to do so:
1. Download the suitable update based on your Rom from ardoid dot com
(Download the Arabization update only not the Rom it has to be from 5MB to 15MB not more than this)
2. use any root explorer application to copy the content of ".\System\fonts" and ".\system\lib" Only from the downloaded update folder.
3. Restart and Enjoy....
Notes:
1. Don't copy the content of the Framework Folder for me, When i did this, it stuck on Boot
2. for me to work, I've formatted the SD Card and start copying the MDJ Rom from scratch with a new Data Image.
3. Take full SD Card Backup Before start because you may need it.
4. Do it on your own RISK
Enjoy the Full Arabic Support.....

NO still...
^ So is there arabic support or no?
you say download and install and it all works perfect, and there are no download links :s
The problem in MDJ build seems to be the libwebcore.so causing the internet to crash :S
is this with certain kernal updates?
Im pretty sure it used to work on MDJ builds before.

Install your own apps via xRecovery - Collection of xRecovery files

Hi Guys!
Now that finally the devs arrived with some amazing ROMs, I change these ROMs a lot every day. But I experienced some problems because I often do that at work where I don't have adb shell available. So I created an xRecovery zip-file to install Android Terminal Emulator before booting into the ROM the first time.
That gave me the idea to offer you some zip-files with useful (free) applications you perhaps want to have pre-installed on any ROM before booting it.
I also attached two blank zip-files where you can easily add your own apps, perhaps a preferred keyboard in your language or whatever you want to push onto your phone via xRecovery.
If somebody's interested we could turn this into some kind of collection for universally usable xRecovery files.
How to use the blank zip-files:
To use this method, you need to have the app available as an apk-file, of course.
If you have the app already installed on the ROM you're looking to replace, you can just use a root file manager like Root Explorer to copy and paste the apk file from \data\app\ to your SD card.
If you cannot get the apk file, you can request it here or send me a PM and I'll try to prepare the zip-file for you. Don't ask me to do this with paid apps! This whole method is meant to be used with free apps and I will not add or support warez in any form!
Okay, now let's start. As you can see, I attached two blank zip-files: blank_data-app.zip and blank_system-app.zip. Why two of them?
There are basically two locations where you'll want to install your own apk's:
\data\app\ --> contains all non-system-relevant user apps and should be your choice in most cases. If you install here, you can easily uninstall the apps later if you don't need them anymore.
\system\app\ --> contains system-relevant and pre-installed apps such as vending.apk / phonebook.apk / Email.apk / Gmail.apk / Calender.apk / etc.
Only install here if you want to replace one of these apps with a themed one or if you want to force-update market for example! It's not possible to uninstall anything you installed here the usual way! You'll have to use Titanium Backup or another third-party app.
Only overwrite existing apps in this folder if you know what you're doing!
So, just choose where you want to install your app, open (NOT extract!) the corresponding file with a zip-file manager of your choice (I'd recommend 7Zip or WinRAR) and drag the apk-file you want to install into data\app\ (for blank_data-app.zip) or system\app\ (for blank_system-app.zip. pretty obvious, huh? ). Confirm to copy the file there and close the zip file.
That's it. Now you just have to give your zip-file an appropriate name and push it onto your SD card to install it via xRecovery-->install custom zip-->choose custom zip from sdcard.
__________________________________________________
Some comments on the zip-files attached:
- Android_Terminal_Emulator.zip:
This is useful if you installed a new ROM and experience problems like flashing homescreen or no GSM/data connection. In that case, open ATE and type the following:
su (confirm SuperUser rights)
busybox killall servicemanager
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will restart the phone and hopefully solve your problems. (I know this mini guide seems not to fit here, but perhaps someone reads it before spamming the dev thread with questions that were answered a thousand times )
- JIT_Enabler_v2-zdz.zip:
all KUDOS go to zdzihu. Make sure you visit his thread to always get the latest version of JIT Enabler.
Note that you only need this file on 2.1 ROMs where JIT Enabler isn't pre-enabled! On 2.2+ ROMs JIT is always included.
- New Market V2.2.11.zip:
Make sure to sign into your google account and open market once (accept licence agreement) before you update to the new market. Many people experience problems if they don't do this!
- TitaniumBackup-3.6.7.1.zip:
You can also create this file yourself. If you open TB and tap on Settings-->more... there's an option to create an update.zip
- XDA_app.zip:
Useful for any kind of problems of course
__________________________________________________
So, not much of a collection at the moment, but perhaps there's interest for something like that. If you know something that will come handy to have it preinstalled, just tell me!
Cheers

i like that point of view! well i only found one for creating a whole update. zip for a rom with android kitchen I can explain some of the basics inside this zip file this evening after work. a zip just for installing apps is created quite easily. it gets more complicated if you have to set permissions and things like that.
Sent from my rooted X10i using XDA App
good idea!
thanks
Great! thanks a lot for this useful guide, I will use it.
Just one question in the same line like mezo, If I already have a rom zip file and I want to add to this rom the apps, would it be possible? and Could you explain us? or its just copy the files inside the \data\app\ folder?
Thanks again for your help.
Great idea, thanks!

As long as the apps aren't system-relevan, it's as easy as that, yes
For all of you willing to learn more: I'm quite a noob, too, but I'll try to make a tutorial on how to create recovery zip-files as soon as I can.
Won't be today though, because I'll go out to party into my birthday this evening
So long,

You can use the Android Kitchen to create custom zip files, I use the Cygwin method as it makes file management a little easier imo.
Great idea man, a lot of thanks!
1 zip - several apps
Is it possible to create one zip to install several apk's?
Maybe I have a few "stock" apps, the ones that I always need, and want to install all in a single step.
Can this be done or I have to install one by one even using xRecovery?
Thanks!
Great tuto and thank you for sharing

Hello all. Ihave a problem with xRecovery 0.2 (the last release) when I reboot my phone holding the back button a few moments after the SE Logo appears, it doesn't work. I've installed it with the xRecovery installer and with the FlashTool with BusyBox 1.17 installed. I'm on a X10 2.1 Generic . Thaks

Firstly, the xRecovery depends upon its version of busybox. In the version I use it is 1. 15. 3
So re-install xRecovery(just in case).
Secondly, u don't hv to keep the back key pressed but tap it a few times repeatedly during the screen with "Sony Ericsson" logo.
Hope this helps.

sorry, backup and restore only works with stock se rom and mods based on it (like kx10 or blue sparks,...). it's impossible to install on any 2.2/2. 3 or 2.1 AOSP rom.

in deed ..you only have to press twice.. (press one..wait one sec then press again and release...and wait for the terminal to popup) voilà!

hey im having a problem.
I know that you will say "this belong to another thread" but since this way i can trick the thing and install again the system apps like the Package administrator etc, i need to know what to do in mi case with this method:
mi BETA3 was working smooth!
iv been using the BETA3 a long time but some days ago, suddently i couldn't install apps anymore (thouse that are in mi SD or frome the market...not even Applanet...nothing)
The screen shows the "barber shop black and white" bar rolling and rolling and never stop.
Mi USB detection is not working, that means that mi PC is recognazing the phone (it sound like a UYSB is been conected) but never apear the folder of the SD. nto even options of debugging usb etc in the notification bar of the device.
and when i get in Settings> runing aplications, all aplication are in "calculating..." mode. so they say 00 mb. and never stop triying to get the numbers. its so odd.
the other aplication (that came installed with the BETA) works fine.
I have tryed, erasing the firmwares and isntalling them from the beginning and everything worked fine with old firms like 2.0 and 2.1 update1. too!
then i do the root (first z4root, then busybox, then xRecovery) and make xrecovery work. install the beta 3, and again i can't do anything.
i triyed installing the BETA4 but never stop rebooting so i just yield and stick with BETA3.
any idea..plzzz!!! i really don't whon't to use Eclair...it's just so ugly!!
it's not working on mi xRecovery. i put the apps insinde app folder of thwe .zip and put it in a random folder of mi SD, then do >the Recovery > install custom.zip>Choose from SD card>confirm install the selected "blank_data-app.zip".
and it say:
Finding update package.....
opening update package.....
E i asume E means Error!) can't open blablabla/blblabla folder/blank_data-app.zip (bad)
installation Abnorted.
i asume iv done something wrong...!?!?
PS: BTW can somebody sen me the original .apk of FROYO bwecasue i can't find them , to use the system-apps.zip
thanxxx!!!

[Q] How to use application from a rom to another

Hi i have a question.
I tried different roms , and i noticed that the galaxy's one has a superb application for reading PDF (is the best i've ever tried...very fast). Now i'm on Virtuos Asus base rom and i would like to use Ebook readr form Galaxy one.
I have extracted ebook.apk from zip rom file and then installed on new rom.
Program starts but after start scannig for PDF close.
Is the right way to use application or i must copy something else from source rom??
Thaks in advnace
I've used Titanium backup

Thanks for suggest.
Unfortuynately at now i haven't possibility to do that.Is there any other solution??
If not i will installa rom again and then back it up with Titanium.
Thanks
Hey thats it. But you can also create an folder @ SD card with your preferred apps. Youse apk extractor or anything else which let's you extract an apk file... Fx can do it also. Nice tools get from fdroid repo..
You must extract apk from running system or unzipped....

[HOWTO] Install the new market 3.4.4 in your rom beta ICS

How we know we can find in xda the new market 3.4.4, and if you want put it in your rom ICS you need to do this if you can't install it as a normal apk:
The first thing you need to have Root Explorer
Download / Put the market in the SGS in the folder Download
Now we go in system/app and move the file Vending.apk in sdcard (root explorer must be in Mount R/O)
We come back in data/dalvik-cache and look for the file [email protected]@[email protected] and put it in sdcard, too
Now take the new market that you have in the folder Download (rename in Vending.apk) and move it in system/app
Press for a few seconds the file vending.apk
Select the option Permissions
Select / check the 3 boxes Read and the box write / Owner, the other boxes must be uncheck
Turn off your SGS
Now turn on your SGS and you have your new market working
Actually, u can just install like a normal apk... -.-
Anyway, thanks for ur kindness...
