I updated my ADW Launcher to the newest version and now it keeps crashing. I also selected to always launch with it so i cant clear the data to use Sense and uninstal ADW.
What do i do??????
What rom are you running? Stock? Rooted? How long in between crashes?

You might check out the ADW thread in the Android section (not individual phone sections). The issue is known but they haven't got around to fixing it yet. Give them a day or two and I'm sure it will be dealt with.
Of course that's assuming you're running 6.1 (not sure if it happens with 6.0).
the easiest way to do it would be to find a flashable .zip of adw to apply in recovery to replace the one crashing or just take the apk from cyanogenmod rom (any rom) and push it to system/app in recovery... so when you reboot you will get to pick wich launcher to start by default again... that has happened to me several time but with rosie launcher (sense) when trying to change the looks of it and thats how i fix it every time xD
Hello. Hopefully someone can help me with this.
I have created an Elite themed Launcher Pro (based on Koni's Elite series I rom). I have all the framework modified and the apk ready to flasha gain.
I started by using the zip from the Myn's Rom launcher pro and replaced the framework files. i flash it and it does place the apk in data/app however the phone doesnt recognize that it is present. Nothing shows in applications under settings and cant get it to "run".
When i move the apk to system/app it works perfectly.
anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this. I am sure i probably just missed something silly but i cant seem to get it going for the life of me.

Only thing I can think of is when modifying it got signed as system file maybe? Not too sure cause I modified the original LP apk and reinstalled from SD root like normal app. Seems this would be easier than having to flash it but just my thoughts.
Also, why not just leave in system/app?
The main reason for not leaving it in system/app (and also for the flash) is because it doesnt put the dock background on by default. Those who would like to use it have to go and set it them selves. Which isn't a huge deal by itself but trying to make it as easy as possibe for the users.

Hey,
is there
any possibility to change bootanimation via root explorer? I wanted to put it in sysetem/media but there was a notice that I have no permissions for that.
I also wanted to use SDK Manager but when I installed it the Manager doesn't run. Just pops up the black window and immediately closes up.
Any suggestion for a dummy like me?
It's possible and very easy. You need to go into Root Manager's setting and allow it to have R/O access. Once that's done you can then navigate to /Data/local and place your bootanimation.zip in there.
Ok, thanks. I'll check it out.
And I was wondering with one more thing. If HTC app "People" can be used e.g. in CM7 ROM. I noticed several times that the answer was "no" in the forum. But, there is now possibility to backup it in Sense ROM with Titanium and then restore it on CM7 ROM?
Thanks
I have no idea about that. I've always known Sense based apps to need Sense UI to run.
Still no, no sense apps on aosp roms.

The reason why I ask is that I managed to backup News & Weather app from Sense and then restore it on CM7 and it works! but I do not have People app to try it out and I very miss this great app.
News and weather app is a android app not Sense. And it's included in CM7 anyway. Answer is still NO.
Hi guys,
I am starting to get a lot of force closes on my phone. I have no clue if it is the phone, the apps or the ROM (SLIDE-Reloaded v1 which is the basics of the original just without the junk ).
I was thinking of getting rid of what I have now and installing CyanogenMOD7. Would this be recommended? I have Recovery: Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1
If so, can I get a brief explination of how to go about the swap. I know I have done this in the past but it has been so long I honestly can't remember.
Cheers!!

Its simple, just open rom manager and go to download roms, hit cyanogenmod and download cyanogenmod 7.0.3 w/ the google apps addon (optional), and after it downloads, rom manager should automatically pop up asking if you want to wipe and and backup rom, BACKUP ur rom dude just incase u dnt like CM7 and it saves everything, mssgs and all, just in case. Flash the Rom and ther u go. Other than experimentation with some other roms to support my fellow devs, I hav benn using CM since the 6.1.1 build! I highly recommend it!
-also, it wud be in your best interest to probably flash up to the latest recovery, which is 2.5.0.7 if I'm not mistaken)

Do I need to download the GAAPS? If so, I am unable to from the site provided on the ROM bible thread.
Backup - check =) First thing I did was to back up SMS' and current ROM
EDIT: It just clicked to me, so I do not need t download the ROM to my computer and then transfer to SD? All I do is run ROM manager and choose a ROM from the list?
UHHH 0_o i have no idea what you mean by rom bible to be honest, but when you download CM7 from rom manager, it should be a popup on the screen that says addons, then below it is gapps or google apps, whatever its called, you can choose whether to or whether not to download it, but i strongly recommend it because gapps has the Marketplace in it, CM7's actual rom does not come stock with the android market! so download it!
-and for the second question yes it automatically does that for you!!
WOW that is great! I can't wait!!! I just can't do it right now because Market is giving me a "download unsuccessful" message I am upgrading the ROM manager to the premium.
I followed the troubleshoot steps and no luck.
As far as the rom bible, this is the site i was refering to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924793
All good!
The only thing I cannot figure out is how to get to phone to sync only. I have the HTC Sync program to sync my outlook contacts and calendar and when I plug my phone it used to always sync automatically.
Now I cannot find the feature to choose the option of sync via usb... any ideas?
Solution: Download and install Myphone Explorer on both the phone and computer. once installed on the computer go to File > Settings > Sync and choose from the options on the right VOILA!!
What are the DSP Manager and spare parts for exactly?
Last question, I installed Launcher Pro but I have a feeling this rom comes already with it. is that so (I don't have the icon on the apps list)?
Ok so not exactly last question... how do I get swype?
And why is there an H underneath the little arrows up at the top?

To get Swype: just sign up for the Swype Beta on their website: http://swypeinc.com/
I believe the 'H' is for HSPA+. The Slide is not technically a HSPA+ phone, but it does get faster speeds from the "4G" HSPA+ towers. (You should see faster speeds when the H is on top vs when there's 3G at the top)
Cramill thanks for answering my questions! =)
I am still in doubt about the LauncherPro not appearing in my apps and when i go to the markewt the option to "open" is greyed. This just happened with another app I just downloaded "advanced clock widget"
On a semi seperate note, where can I download this app (image)? I can't seem to find it on app market (the app avail is what seems to be a fony). I had this same app on my sense rom and love it cuz it has the alarm, world clock, timer, weather, etc options.
THANKS for helping in advance =)

I believe that is the Sense clock applet and you'll only get that on a Sense ROM.
what about these apps being greyed out out and not appearing on the app list?
All to strange... I rarely had do many issues with my previous ROM and since I installed CM7 it seems that there are all sorts of little things here and there popping up... Is this normal?

I can only relate my own experiences, I know there are many using CM7 and love it, but for me I just couldn't accept the limitations and bugs it presented on my phone. I'm using a rooted version of the "official" Froyo 2.2.1 ROM (espresso_signed_040511_005057.zip) which still has HBOOT 0.52 and using DarkTremor's a2sd moving apps and cache to an ext3 partition. This combination gets me loads of free memory for apps, has all the nice Sense UI enhancements, is stable and pretty snappy (I am using a Class 10 sd card).
I have to agree, CM ROMS have their audience. I am not sure why it is but I like sense roms better.
I ended up reinstalling CM7 and that fixed the problem with no sound when receiving text. The problem now as many others (so I have read) is my Wi-fi not connecting.
I am going to leave CM7 for a few more days and see if the love comes around, if not, I am going back to a sense rom =/
Fuzi is the rom you have installed on your phone located in the list of Roms in Rom Manager or did you manually instal?

It isn't listed in Rom Manager, I downloaded it from a post here on XDA that I can't find now. I can send it to you if you PM me.

I had the wifi issue in the very beginning, turns out, it is a rare bug that happens often accidentally, the wifi is not a permenant issue, simply backup once more, and then reflash! Easy as pie! Also, CM does NOT use Launcher Pro. It uses ADW Launcher to give the phone the gingerbread look. Launcher pro incorporates both Sense and Gingerbread and is far more advanced! Other than that like I said for me CM is one of the greatest Roms I have ever laid eyes on. However it is in your best interest to use LauncherPro if you want the freedom of CM w/o havin to flash a 2.2 Rom. I recommend the Plus version of LP as it has the Sense widgets, etc. Good luck and jus to let you know I hav absolutely no probs w/ CM as of my latest installation (CM 7.0.3).

That is weird that after flashing the new one the problem goes away because I install the daily update and still doesn't work. I have yesterday update which was #106 and the Wifi still doesn't work

DSP is a music equalizer (when used right, makes an wonderful difference in the audio quality of your phone) and I really dont know what the point of spare parts is to be honest with you, just a toolbox for devs i guess

Have you installed them like new, or have you restored them? That could be a problem with going from Gingerbread to ICS. Also there is a GPS patch in the development thread. Why don't you give that a go? You might need to reinstall them from scratch again. If that doesn't work with Swype, then they probably haven't updated it to handle 4.0.3. I have the same ROM too. Everything is great, but the gallery and camera fc's and charging is slow as hell and the battery drains quickly.
tried that
i tried to download from the website but it needs you to uninstall swype first. and i can't uninstall cause it's preinstalled. Because im new to this i don't know how or if you can uninstall a preinstalled app.

You would have to use titanium backup or root explorer to erase a system app

Ohhh that's why. Okay... Go into the Play Store and download Titanium Backup. I think you can do this with the free version. Open it and at the top you should see Overview, Backup/Restore, and Schedules. Hit Backup/Restore and scroll down until you see "swype........" Tap it and hit uninstall. After that, try install your new swype.
AWESOME
AWESOME. Thanks guys you were really healpful. I used the titanium backup (free) and was able to uninstall. Finally able to swipe again
So do you guys have any tips on getting my location to lock when using maps. it's not that it's is slow it just doesnt lock me in at all.

I personally prefer Root Uninstaller with my rooted phones to get rid of system apps and bloatware!
