Before I get flamed I tried searching but the function is saying temporarily out of order try back in 5 minutes. Have been trying all day, just gonna ask now. Sorry.
I am running a basic deodexed 2.2 rom. I cannot update my vvm due to my custom rom. Can anyone point me in the direction to get the new vvm apk or zip. I am getting annoyed with the icon and would love to not have to turn my bluetooth in my car off to check VM. Any help is greatly appreciated.
No guarantees that this will work, but it works for me. Also, if you brick your phone, not my fault. Flash this in recovery
That above update has a superuser update in it to. And if you want to do it the easy way, extract that above zip, and just push the sprint_VVM.apk to /system/app/
I always prefer to just push apk's rather than flash a zip from recovery, but maybe that's just me
Fantastic! I had to remount first, but pushing the contained APK worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip.
Dumb question, but I have always wondered how to "push the apk" and all that mess. Any tutorials or tips on stuff like that? I always just flash anything I need to, and get lost when it comes to ADB
HELP! I have Root Explorer installed on my rooted Evo (2.1) no custom ROM. Like an idiot, I uninstalled gtalkservice.apk, talk.apk and talkprovider.apk. Fortunately I moved them to my sd card so they didn't disappear. Of course, now I keep getting that "com.google.process.gapps" error message and I haven't been able to download apps from the market all day. I tried reinstalling the apps with both package installer and with app installer to no avail. Someone please tell me how to fix my idiotic mistake! Thanks!
have you tried adb install?

Is your phone rooted? If so, hopefully you have installed a custom recovery and you can flash the google apps file from the CM6 thread. If you are not rooted there are 2 options:
1 - Rerun the RUU. This means you'll lose all data OR
2 - ADB install the missing apps, this is more complicated as you need several things, like the android development kit, the driver and the files you took off.

I had sprint football live running fine on cm6.1 since it was released, but all of a sudden today it borked out on me. Whenever I go to launch it, it will start and just close... it doesn't FC just acts liek I closed it.
I cleared data, rebooted and nothing. I just uninstalled it so I'm wondering if someone can post an apk that works for them.. or any additional info on this?
Same here. No idea why. I'm on the latest cm nightly and toasts .35 kernel.

Did you ever install the cm6.1 rc ? Did it work for you then? Mine did, just all of a sudden borked. I wonder if sprint done some kind of update or something.
Yeah it worked on 6.1 rc1 and today is the first time it hasn't. I wouldn't think cm has changed something that prevents it from working. Probably on sprint's side. Should get sorted out ASAP I think.

Threw me for a loop too! They updated Sprint NFL. New version is 2.2.44. Feel free to use this one I modded. Just adb push it to /system/app. It's dark transparent with white text...enjoy!
EDIT: Only modded the widget, I should have been more clear on that!

Thanks buddy, do I have to use ADB? Never pushed anything with adb before =x lol
I do appreciate you posting it up tho!
Would someone mind giving a quick rundown on how I would push thatapk through ADB? I deleted the old apk off my phone and put the one from this thread on my SD card... but I'm not sure what to do next =x
Thanks Guys =)

So I just open up the sdk and type that?

then adb push Sprint_NFL-mod.apk/system/app
And thats it?
**edit** By the Way, you playing mw2 on xbox or ps3? I'm on ps3
yea or adb push /place-where-file-is /system/app/ ex. adb push ~/Downloads/sprint-football-**** /system/app/
im on xbox 360. Tuesday its black ops all day in this *****....
OK I opened the cmd, got the phone on debugging
Opened the sdk and typed adb shell sysrw then tried to push it by typing what you told me and it isn't working.
It is spamming me with a command list..
I have the apk on my adcard and I moved it to my sdk/tools folder so I'm not sure whats happening =\
well it would be something like
adb push sdk/tools/sprint-football.apk /system/app/
lol thanks anyway, I can never get adb crap to work right for me!
Good luck on black OPS

What Rom are you running? Are you able to adb push to /system/app with phone booted up? Or do you have to be in recovery to push files?

Running cm6.1
Honestly, I don't know.. I haven't done anything with ADB aside from rooting my phone. I know what directory it's in on my computer so I can open up the sdk/toosl in my command prompt.
Other than that, I don't know jack... I plugged my phone in, didn't mount it..had debugging on and tried to push it from my tools folder but I know I'm doing something wrong.
I did google it and tried a bunch of different things.. but I just can't get it.. I keep getting "not found" whenever I type adb push or anything like that

Help, I rooted my phone and I don't want it installing updates. But I got this notification that it has downloaded a system update and will install it when there's enough power. So I'm going to keep my phone on low until I find a way to prevent it from installing. Any tips guys and gals?
Does anyone know what the update is? The development may like for you to extract it from your phone. Could help in future development.

I just had the same problem to what I did was let it try to install but it can't because u don't have stock recovery.so it will still try but it will freeze and just pull the battery out then turn the phone back on and it will load right into cwm then just restart your system from there and u will be good to go. Its fast and easy

If I am not mistaken we had an app on our Evo's called FOTa.apk, do a search for it in google and see what they say....I have it on my Xoom and it works fine
I am going to try shfub's method. I think he removed the .zip update file so the phone will have nothing to flash.
I don't know if it is permanent but I clicked on the notification, went to /cache, removed the .zip update file, went back to the notification, asked it to install, had it reboot to recovery and fail, and booted into android. It stopped bugging me and stopped trying to download after that.

Do the same thing, except this time, after the failed install, when you are back in Android, type in adb shell or terminal
su
pm disable com.samsung
Alternatively you could freeze System Updates in Titanium.
So, I heard some while a go that it is possible to have flash in GIO. Me being a totally helpless with tech I asked my friend of a friend of a friends cousin to ROOT my phone. Well that went smoothly, I did not get flash on my mobile´s websites but instead I can´t connect my Gio to PC via USB... NUTS!
And "the Friend" can´t help me no longer...
So here are the problems, I can´t connect to PC, no matter what. Tried de-buggin, un-installed drivers <-> installed drivers. Nothing...
Also I have that app I don´t really want ( or do I?), called SuperSU which is´nt working, says something about "binary needs to update -> Fail". How the h*ll i´m gonna get rid of that? Is that app that lost my USB-connection? Did I do it?
So could some one please tell me, 1) How to remove SuperSU-app or how to fix it (I you think that I should have it). 2) Any ideas how to solve USB-issue. 3) If I need to install any app´s, softwares and so on, links would be great. Working ones...
Here´s some specs from my phone, GT-S5660, Android ver. 2.3.6, "somethingsomething" S5660XXKT6, Core(?) 2.6.35.7-perf-CL1006648, "mumbojumbo" GIGERBREAD.XXKTI. SuperSU v0.98
Ask for more information if you need it, i´ll try to explain the best I can, english is´nt my language. Me no enklish, me finnish.
... Is it possible to have flash on GIO?
superSU is the app that gives away root acces to apps and to the system.
you need to use wifi or 3G and update the binairy
for usb, make sure you fully disabled Kies and killed it with the task manager

Thanks for reply. SuperSU won´t update, not on wifi or 3G. Just says "update failed".
I have deleted Kies from laptop, cleaned registry, even removed all usb-drivers then restarted laptop(did that with WIN7 an XP-PRO), yell´ed at my neighbours and blamed the cat.
Still no connection, I can connect NOKIA with usb-cable, the cable recharges my Gio but no luck with connecting... I quess that damn thing is broken.
I´ll focus now on removing that superSU, which will be a weeks job at my skills...
Thanks anyway.

Yes, it´s the cable that came with Gio. Can´t find Nokia´s cable so I could try that one. How do I check that if my phone has a custom rom that is´nt suitable or something like that. I really don´t know what that friend of my did to my phone, BUT the problem occured after his I´ll have your phone going like Räikkönen in Abu Dhabi-tuneup.
Really i think u should unroot it if u think root cause this problem.

Just tried that one, correct me if I´m wrong but unrooting is done by using unroot.zip (the one for superSU)? because that did´nt do the trick. For now I have done unroot.zip, wipe all data from phone (to factory re-set or whatcamacallit), boot-> voilá, theres that superSu still, version 0,98 if I recall.
I know that the bigges problem is in front my laptop´s screen, AKA my face, but as I earlier stated, me no computers.
I wish someone would make an app that removes all of these root-thingies and gives you a free nokia 3310
Thanks for reply, I won´t give up. There must be a simple answer for this. I just have to find it, or someone gives it me... Latter the better.
Ooh ooh, FYI, now I have these two app´s in my phone. SuperSU and Superuser, should I just quit fidling with my phone
...and now when I connect my phone to laptop, win7 gives every 3 sec. a message that one of the USB-hardwares is in errormode or something (I´m bad at traslating), it sounds like a intro of a Skrillex-song...

Yep, if you mean flash´ing is done by the the method of power+"that large button at bottom of my phone" and install update->unroot.zip then yes, app won´t go. Do I have a wrong file? Are those files spesific to a certain app? The trick is to get two superuser-apps is klick+klick+yes+fustration+install+hope+i don´t know. If I could I would give you better info... You mean that SuperSU (the one with cyan droid with red cape) and Superuser (the one with green droid and a eyepatch) shouldnt exist in a same phone? This is going straight to the twilightzone.
If you are confused, quess how I feel:laugh:
And either of them won´t update binary...
Oh, and yes, no ( ) I can´t uninstall either of those app, well from phone´s uninstall-section, butt that do´snt uninstall these apps for good... They are still there when I go to settings+apps+manage apps+all-> there they are.
Using WIN7 and XP.

Here´s where I´m at now, SUPERuser says: su binary vlegacy (0) -rwsr sr-x root root System/bin/su. When I do update I get this: Checking installed version:Legacy(written in red), Gaining root acces: fail! (allso written in red).
SuperSU says " The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" -> "Installation failed!".
Busybox installer says my device is rooted
Root checker basic says Sorry! This device does not have proper root acces.
Got root says "Successfully located ´su´(superuser) on the device. Failed to obtain root privileges through ´su´.
Honestly, I don´t know is my phone rooted or not

may be your root access was lost, try to root the phone again.
Ya, unrooting and rooting again would work.
I had a similar problem after a factory reset.

i don't think it related with hardware, root is related with software (OS).
Right, here´s where I´m at. Now my phone IS rooted, it also have android 4.0.4 and CyanogenMod9 :laugh:
Done some fidling you see...
But still no connection via usb, I´m starting to think that it is a hardware-related problem. It does charge my phone, but no connection for file transfer.
So for now I will be happy for these settings.
Just need to get the a2sdgui working propely, can´t move apps from phone to sd.
Thanks for all of you´s for help :angel:

maybe its more a pc-related problem too, reinstall drivers and make sure KIES is not running(deinstall it) and try on other pc's too.
have look at this for Apps 2 sd on ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590807&highlight=guide+ics
I think there's no problem with a rooted phone. You just need to do some homework before you started at it. Let me help you by explaining you some words and some help.
Root: when you root your phone you are able to flash roms on your phone.
Recovery mode: the menu that you get when you touch the on button + the OK button.
Flashing: installing a rom.
Rom: a kind of system on your phone. After rooting you can put these on your phone like iOS or
ICS.
When you are rooting your phone, you need a new recovery mode: Clockwork mode recovery. You can install this as the same way like flashing a rom. After that you can apply the update.zip package. Now your phone us rooted and when you reboot your phone you have a new app: SuperSU (or superuser) This app gives apps permission to other apps. Now you are able to flash any rom you want. Just google on: roms for /thenameofyourphone/ and you get enough results. Some roms are really great and are smooth and have a nice theme like android 4.1 or ios. Just download the rom. Put it on yor sd card. Go into recovery mode (clockwork mode recovery). Backup current rom, do a factory reset, wipe cache and install the rom. After flashing you must reboot your phone and ENJOY!
You can also download link2sd which allows you to move ALL you apps to your sd card. By the way. When you have rooted your phone it isn't bad but you have to read very much and after a while you will understand everything and you will enjoy your favourite rom.
