Hi all,
I got a Htc Wildfrie for xmas and really like it so far.
I tried to install the 2.3 launcher from the Android Market however and now it wont turn on. It gets to the Htc screen but then it freezes.
I had to restart it as if froze when I selected the 2.3 launcher to perform an action.
Is there a way to boot into a safe mode and uninstall the offending app? Or any other way to get around the problem?
As ever any help is gratefully appreciated.
I had a problem with 2.3 launcher being icons not displayed correctly: too small so it didn't look right.
I deleted program via settings, applications, manage applications....
Instead I installed Launcher Pro. App works well.
Note: I have the stock Froyo Rom installed.
Thanks for the reply but I can't turn on the phone.
Also running stock 2.2
You should flash a RUU and then dl the ota update again.
Although I recommend rooting instead of getting the ota, since you can do a nandroid backup of your rom.
Nvm about root just realised your hboot is the new one

wtf is wrong with you, guys - hackers? Solution is just simple factory reset / clear data via HBoot
I just upgraded to CM7 and love it. The new interface is awesome, plus it seems like my phone even operates faster.
Howeverrrrr... I can't open up my Marketplace at all now. This only started happening when I upgraded; I upgraded about an hour ago. Marketplace worked fine this morning before the upgrade.
Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know what I can do to fix it?
What is it you upgraded from? Which version of GAPPS did you install?
CM 6.1 I think. And... I don't know what that is. Can I check it?
When I bought the phone it already had the mod on it.
Ok.. So when switching rom families, such as going from CM6 to CM7, there are a few things you have to do. You need to do a wipe, you install the new rom, then you install gapps.
gapps are the google apps, including market, gmail, etc.
There are plenty of instructions around for how to do all of this. How did you do the upgrade? Are you using rom manager?
JTB
i also installed CM7 today and gapps, but it will not install gmail, youtube and a few others. i used rom man and wiped everything and when i went to install gmail it said it could not be found from the market.

I have this same issue to, when I try to get those apps from the market it won't install anything at all...And yes i wiped everything before flashing the rom too.
It won't install or it try to download but fail immediately??
If it does that, then it could be that you have some custom MTD partition and that could screw it up. There is a solution, either resize your cache partition to something larger, like 50M, or there is another solution by doing:
su
cp -a /dev/cache/download /data/cache

I didn't wipe anything, which is probably why it doesn't work. There was a notification, that said Cyanogenmod 7 was available, so I just updated it from there. Didn't do anything else.
Is there a way I can just remove the old rom, or something? Or do I have to remove CM7 and then re-install it?
I got to say that RC1 IS SMOOTH... I been sporting it for a few days. The only issue I came across the email not gmail but email. Is doesn't redress sometimes.s but its the bees knees.....

Not sure what you mean by removing the old rom - by installing a new rom you replaced the old one. However, if you didn't wipe the phone then you can run into trouble with data in a different format than your new rom expects. This can, of course, cause weird behavior
You can try just wiping the phone from clockwork - you shouldn't have to re-install the rom, but maybe... Of course all your apps and settings will be lost.

Tried that, wiped the phone and the SD card. The CM7 rom is still there, but I lost everything. The Market was completely gone this time, I had to download it off of a forum. When I did download it, it didn't open at all again.
Anyone know of a way that I can download another rom, or go back to the original rom, to replace CM7?

if you don't mind explaining, how do you resize the cache partition? if i do the:
su
cp -a /dev/cache/download /data/cache
method, do i need to do that on windows cmd or on the phone's terminal emulator? my phone has that problem you described, except I don't think I have a custom MTD partition, I just rooted my phone, didn't do S-Off either.
thanks
I was wondering if there was a way to change the home button from holding the power button and selecting home to just tapping the power button and having that serve as the home button.
Furthermore, is there a way to changed launchers in CM7?

Not sure but in Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Tablet tweaks > Choose soft-buttons, you can put the home button right on the screen.
Not sure if you knew that but if not, now you know.
Launchers: In the Market.
that's pretty handy, thanks for the tip. i'm going to enable that now.

Yes, exactly what Devilot said. Adobe Flash from the Market should do the job.
Has anyone thought of taking the ICS virtual buttons and porting them into CM7?
in regards to installing flash from the market, it says 'incompatible with your device'. i'm having the same issue with Dolphin Browser HD at the moment

That's strange. Maybe go into Recovery and clear cache and Dalvik-cache? You're using CM7, correct?
I'm using CM7 as well, and flash installed fine for me. Just make sure to do a Delvik/Cache wipe AFTER you install the ROM, and you *should* be fine.
As far as launchers go, definately check out GO Launcher EX v2.71. Its not available in the market yet, just off their website, but its made specifically for 7 and 10 inch tablets.

I'm sorry to read that. But next time use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data. Makes things so much easier. On a brighter note, I'm glad you got it working.

to be honest, i have nothing to complain about, I only had CM7 running for a few hours, there isn't that much to put back on it. i will check out titanium backup though!

Cool! Enjoy your CM7 powered Kindle Fire.
Wow, that is definitely odd. I have two KFs, both on CM7, and both installed Flash Player straight from the market without hesitation.
Glad you got it to work though!
Seems to be quite a few little quirks and bugs that happen to some and not others. I'm sure as the roms and devs get going the bugs will be fewer.
Hi all,
I'm currently on Android 4.2.2 (rooted, UK version, SIM unlocked) and would like update to 4.3.
My Baseband version is I9505XXUAMDM.
Does anyone know which rom file I should use? I'd like to retain root permissions if possible and to use an original (or close as possible) Samsung rom.
Many thanks

Also I have philz recovery, is this an issue or can this be used instead of CWM?

Yes I was on the I9505XXUAMDM version (see attached image) and just followed the instructions EXCEPT I didn't use ClockworkMod, I'm using 'TWRP Recovery'. I downloaded the 'GALAXY S4 Google Play Edition 4.3 v1.3 CoOoL_BoY.zip' file, placed it on my memory card, booted in to TWRP, wiped the parts as instructed, then ran the installer. All worked nicely!
I backed it all up first (mostly using titanium backup pro), then restored the programs/program data from it after, so I was up and running pretty quickly after.

Philz recovery is basically CWM, so as far as I'm aware you can also run the zip from within philz, However can anyone confirm this?
Sorry to hijack the thread by the way!

Also when you backed up with titanium pro did you choose to do the batch operation and backup system settings and apps or just the apps?
Thanks

I backed up the apps and their settings (but ignored the system apps). Good luck
So I installed the rom and it is more stable but is still crashing alot!
In Philz recovery when you wipe/factory reset there are two options:
Wipe/factory reset
Clean for a new rom
In guessing I should have chose the clean for a new rom option? I mean the phone still has some of my old data on it so I'm sure something went wrong.
I'm debating just flashing to stock rom and giving up! cab anyone suggest anything?

Yeah you should have chosen the 'Clean for new rom' option. It's likely crashing as it still has settings/files left behind that aren't compatible with your new rom. Mine has been very stable since the upgrade, so it's worth trying again with a proper wipe

So it turns out the battery is ruined on the phone, I thought it was the rom initally and I will give it a fresh install when I can.
In the press samsung have stated that some S4 batteries are faulty, Mine has swollen up and the phone no longer lies flat!
Also it only holds charge for about 20 mins!
Anyhow, I have spoken to the local service centre and I can get a free replacement, good news, however will I have to flash my phone back to stock firmware? Or is my warranty still good?
I can borrow a friends battery and flash back to stock fw but will I need to do this or can I just go ahead and flash back on my rom of choice?
I'v never overclocked the phone or played with any battery voltage settings etc, so I think it must be a genuine faulty batch.
Any suggestions?

Nope you can leave the phone software as is, it's only the battery that's at issue. If they want to see the phone just say it's private and you don't want them looking at it. Maybe even take the battery out in front of them as you're talking at the counter so that the phone is turned off, and they have the battery to instantly look at. Should be an obvious / easy swap out for them...

No worries, good luck! It does have the default Google 'People' app, which is the same as the Contacts one. And for music I installed the Google 'Play Mucic' app which isn't bad. The only thing I miss from the Samsung 'TouchWiz' rom is their camera app.

I didn't know the People app was the same, cheers for that
I went for winamp but tbh its layout is awful and I found it very buggy that and my phone battery was already swollen up! haha.
Will report back with results!
thanks once again.
Got a new battery and not had any issues with the rom at all, only issues I did find was that having my SIM PIN enabled got the phone stuck when it booted, I had to take my sim out and put it in my girlfriends phone to disable the sim lock, after that no issues.
I'm in two minds of if I should reflash it or not tho as it now has a **** ton of my apps, I have used titatnium backup before but I find it to copy my buggy software and back it up then reloading it on my new rom hahah!
But a fresh flash might set it straight for longer avoiding me any future headaches... hahah
Anyhow thanks for all the advice.
Peace

I realized I only used snap to talk to one person, so I got her number and decided to ditch it lol.
Though what I did was I switched to a pure stock rom Found here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833) then I was gonna make a titanium back up of snapchat while logged in. Then switch back to the rooted rom we have, and load it up.

What I did because I'm on N and there's no Xposed is just completely unroot and sign in. Then you can reroot and stay logged in. Go get titanium backup and backup your Snapchat data in case you have to log out. Every time you logout and you're rooted, just restore the backup you made of when you were signed it, I can confirm it works because I just did it 10 minutes ago and came to make a post here about it.
I hope this helps.

Reflash your rom you're running (avoid flashing SU or Xposed at all, you can do it later) and first thing you do after getting to the home screen go to the playstore and dl snapchat and login. Should work just fine.
