Does it bother you that there are 2 Gallery apps when you load up jelly bean and gapps?
yeah me too.
So what i did, was mad sure i had titanium backup root on my sdcard.
I then installed Jelly Bean, and let it boot up (i did not flash gapps)
I installed titanium, and then i uninstalled the gallery that came with JB.
rebooted into recovery, flashed gapps.
and bang. no more double gallery
I had four at one point the other day, hahaha. But yeah, it's strangely weird that there's no consistency in the naming scheme.
So no ideas which one is safe to uninstall?

haven't tried anything from the market yet, but I randomly uninstalled one and everything still works fine. Maybe I got lucky?

I used Titanium to see which was the older version and uninstalled that one.
In system/app you'll find two apk for gallery:
GalleryGoogle.apk
Gallery2.apk
They are the same, but GalleryGoogle.apk is the one with picasa sync. Gallery2.apk will only show you the photos stored in your device

Some of you will know that Google has released an updated Android Market. The original thread can be found here.
Now, how would i go about installing it on my tab when we still have no ability to flash .zip updates?
download the apk and run it on your tab all done.
Lordao
so i dont need to replace the original?
edit: just replaced the original, works perfectly thanks!
Got the update from applanet
Check the themes and apps section. Already posted the apk and how to install.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Or just wait a few days and it'll update itself automatically.
And if you don't like it, just go into Applications/Manage Applications/All/Market and Uninstall Updates. That'll roll you back to the Market version that was on your particular ROM.
The new Market just ain't thrilling me yet. For one thing, it's bloody SLOW, slow to load, slow to transition, etc. It's also more cumbersome to use, especially when updating applications, the button spacing is a mess, the "more" to see more application info is a mess (they should hide the comments instead), and the recently released "similar" tab is absent.
I'm sure it'll get better, but I prefer to keep the old, fast version for now.
I have a question: when I installed the new market (by launching the APK), it is listed under 'Third party' in Manage Applications. Is this how it really should be (compared to getting the official version from Google in a few weeks)? Not that it matters..
Got mine from applanet. Works like charm. No Hiccups.
I remounted /system rw, and replaced /system/app/Vending.apk. Works like charm.
I have also replaced other Google apps this way (Search, Voice Search, Google Maps and Street View).
Another way to replace your ROM version is to just install the APK from the SD card by clicking on it. Now fire up Titanium Backup and go to the Batch process called "Integrate updates of system apps into ROM" This works real slick and is really easy.

Today morning opened up market, got notified that a bunch of apps could be updated...clicked update all...marketclosed and everything installed fine...but SURPRISE...the market too has gotten updated to the new one on its own!
Guess google is pushing out a silent update of the market to the devices...huh...

You have to remount your system partition read/write and simply move (copy/delete) the apks from /data/app to /system/app (they have different names in /system/app, so Market is com.android.vending-1.apk or something in /data/app and Vending.apk in /system/app)
Or you can use donate version Titanium Backup to do that.

Hmm... my market app got upgraded yesterday without a notice - a little surprised last night when i found it out.
Was it supposed to roll out yesterday? I didn't hear anything about it.
same here, no notice, nothing at all
suddenly it got updated
Strange...mine didnt. have to do it from Applanet.
Maybe I am using a non Samsung Official ROM
Just FYI. i am using JMA.
I am up and running, so I think I did everything right!
However...
Angry Birds won't open. I've installed from Market, from backup, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted...any other ideas?
Facebook app is glitchy.
My Nook app is force closing when I try to open a book...I'm thinking maybe I did something wrong...
Is there a way to remove the phone related apps and references?
I do miss the BN Library Shelves...I think I'll get over that though...or attempt a dual-boot.
Overall, it is so different than what I'm used to that it's a bit intimidating...but I'm sticking with it for a while due to all the over-the-top positive reviews here!
Nook app update...I had downloaded a book and it was in the notification list that it had finished...cleared it and the app is working now.

I know that Facebook version 1.5.3 had bugs that caused force closes on MANY devices. They released 1.5.4 last night to correct these issues, but I have not tested the new version myself. Others have said the app works great now. I downgraded to 1.5.2 which works fine, but I will try 1.5.4 later tonight.
Unfortunately I don't know about the other questions you had so hopefully someone else can help you there
Im no expert, but have you fixed permissions in rom manager? thats been known to stop force closes
I tried to fix permissions, but it says I don't have permission to do so...something's not quite right.
Yes, 1.5.3 caused problems for many. So far 1.5.4 works for me without any problems on my Droid X and Nook Color.

How are you showing phone references? You mean the apps?
If you're talking apps, get root explorer, nav. to system/app/
mount r/w, then add the suffix .bak too app phone related apps (doing phone.apk LAST). It doesn't do anything, but helps some people sleep at night.
mms.apk
telephoneprovider?.apk
phone.apk (will cause force closes...just hard shut down and reboot)
Haven't run into any apps that need these (dropbox used to), but good to keep around.
Try moving angry birds from sd card to "phone" if that is where it is located.

Hmmmm... Strange. Have you tried to boot into clockwork and fix permissions there?
Just want to make sure-- you did format your data & cache partition as ext4 right?
I'm not sure about the ext4...is that something different than just formatting through CWM.
Angry Birds is installed on 'phone' and not the SD card.
I did figure out how to remove phone apps, thanks!
We have multiple nooks so I tried Phiremod's on a different one and really liked it. I ended up reflashing this nook to Phiremod and am so far, really pleased...angry birds still won't load, but I guess we can live without it!
power button and home button problem
I just installed the latest cm7.0.2 build, and I found that my home button does not work...
also, the power button only has reboot and poweroff selections, the other selections in cm7.0.0 were lost...
Anyone saw this problem?
I tried to set the home button settings in ADWLauncher->General Behavior->Home button binding, but it does not work...
anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

If Rom Manager doesn't allow you fix permissions, open superuser and make sure it's allowed superuser access.
Update: 11/20/11 Unofficial Market update which brings it to Version 3.3.12. Better integration with the Music market. You can now download free music and purchase music as well. Sorry U.S.A. only for free music (?)
How to install: download apk and install like any other apks.
http://db.tt/0j3ii5Oq
Here is the latest (leaked?) update of the Market which brings it to version 3.3.11.
And here's how I installed it: I am currently on CM7 nightlies
Download .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk)
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access)
Move New Market .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk) to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first)
Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) older market .apk (Vending.apk) to your sdcard
Rename new market as Vending.apk
Fix Permissions (rw--r--r)
Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot
Done! Whew...
OR...
Download .apk
Rename New Market .apk to "Vending.apk" (w/o the quotes)
Install just like any other apllication
Reboot (if necessary)
*I didn't get the chance to try the second option so it may or may not work, but it kinda made sense...
**not sure if (Vending.apk) is the same name for SENSE ROMS (I don't remember) but just make sure to rename it the same way...
FOR MORE INFO... MARKET 3.3.11
Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. Have you tested and confirm that you can buy a new app with this new market apk?

DL'd and installed earlier. I had been having problems with the speed of other 3.x market apps, this fixes those all, even on 3g. However, some of my installed apps aren't showing up (like Google Maps, of all things). I'm sure there's a simple solution to that, though.

Try and clear "market" data through the application settings and reopen the market. See if that worked...
from the "CRACKED" speedy EVO engine... Via Tapatalk.
It won't install for me. It keeps saying application not installed. If I use root explorer to place the .apk in the /systems/app folder I just get force closes. Clearing data doesn't help either. I have downloaded it several times thinking it was a corrupted download. I'm at wits end here. I have done everything in this post even before I read it as I have updated to all the other previous market releases without issue.
But for some reason this one just doesn't work. I thought maybe it wasn't working on cm7.1 nightli or or the evo shift but some of you have it working so that isn't it. Let me redo this and maybe format cache and dalvik see if that helps.

did you rename the .apk of the new update?
I had zero issues with the new Market. I just installed it like any other .apk. The new Market is very nice. Many small noticable differences. Like when on the My Apps page and you switch accounts it leaves you on the My Apps page instead of reloading the whole damn Market. Overall new Market is definitly an improvement and Vicodan should stop being such a hater

I did try that, but no luck. I'll probably just ignore it until the next time I flash a ROM. Then it'll fix itself, so that's fine. I imagine it's only going to be a few days until I do that anyway.

Titanium Backup can restore all your Market links. I believe there's also other apps designed just to do that too. Use TB or search for an app that restores Market links.

If your use titanium backup to restore or install your apps go into the settings and use market doctor. This will fix missing links to apps in the market that you have installed.

Hey everybody
I found a link this morning for the new Android 5.0 leaked Google apps: http://http://phandroid.com/2014/10...y-music-and-more-leaked-android-5-0-lollipop/
I've simply installed the Messaging apk and it is working really well on my Rooted AT&T Note 3.
I attempted to install the new Gmail app, but I could not get it to work. I was getting FCs and had to jump back to the current Gmail.
Has anyone been able to get the Gmail apk to work?
Uninstall Gmail using System App Remover. Boot into recovery, clear cache & davlik, fix permissions, reboot, then install it. Those are the steps I followed.

Guides seem to recommend people to move the Gmail APK to /system/lib/ (?) but that seems Android 5 stuff.

Uninstalled Gmail app updates through application manager (Stock rooted Touchwiz)
Removed Gmail from the phone with System App Safe Remover (from PlayStore)
Installed the new Gmail apk.
Used SafeStrap to reboot to recovery and cleared Cache, Dalvik, and Fixed Permissions.
Rebooted.
Pushed apk into System/app.
Renamed to Gmail2.apk
Set permissions (rw-r--r--)
Restarted
Opened
FCs for days.
I'm thinking about throwing in the towel on this until they actually release it.
