HELP!!! - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

CM6 ADW launcher, can someone post a flash?

Can someone post a flashable file for the new CM6 ADW launcher? I am currently running RC2 and dont have the new ADW launcher that just got released. I dont want to update to a nightly so Id love to find a download so I can flash it or install it whatever way possible.
Thanks
Can't you just download it from the market? Wrong forum also...

Chances are that cyan would put it in his RC3 release.. but i guess you would have to find someone who ripped the update from they phone and post it here..
Couldn't you just take the .apk out of the nightly .zip and replace your /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk with it?
I mean, I guess everything might not work, since he does put additional stuff in the Cyan Tweaks area, but in general I would think it should be fine.
You can download the apk that works with CM6 from here:

I have been to that site but I wasnt aware one of those links where the correct download. Which is the correct download for CM6.
Also sorry if this was the wrong forum and Ill download a nightly and see if I can rip it.
Thanks, for the help everyone.
I unziped a nightly and tried that.. lol WOW! I almost really screwed things up. So I tried installing it overtop its current and that wouldnt work. So I uninstalled ADW using titanium and bamn nothing was working.. kinda. Menue stoped working back kept taking me to odd things like the phone home didnt work search worked but i couldnt get to settings to search for an app to get back to titanium to work. Holding down home worked to get recent places and it just so happened all my recent places where the toolz I needed to get back to where i needed to be. Lol that was a close one.
Currently 1.1.2 is installed now and the only issue is that its not integrated into CM6 RC2. I mean instead of hitting one settings tab and then clicking ADW settings its now hitting menu and you got your settings or your ADW settings. No biggy. The wallpaper force closes sometimes when I tried to change it but its not persistant and can be worked around.

EViO 2 Series v1.2 Question\Support

I install the EViO 2 Series v1.2 Beta 2 ROM a few days ago and everything work awesome. This is by far the best ROM I use yet. The only issue I have with the ROM is the HTC News Widget. Every-time I try to install the newsreader.apk from the remove_app folder in the SD card using Root Explorer I get the error "Unable to install" Is there a fix for this? All other apps install just fine.
Try using astromanager to install it.

For what its worth, I can't use them even though they are installed...maybe there's something in the Rom not allowing it? I try to add the widgets and get a force close.
Sent from my Evo...
Good to see that I'm not the only one with this issue. Both Astro and Root Explorer will not install the app. Perhaps like "awenthol" said there's probably something with the ROM that's preventing it to install. This is still a beta ROM so hopefully a new version will fix it. If someone figure this out let me know.
in the mean time there are TONS of nonHTC news widgets you can choose from in the market. Not sure how set you are on the HTC look. for the people getting force closes make sure youa re using the sense launcher or they wont work. If youa re usinf ADW or launcher Pro HTC widgets (such as news reader) will FC or not show up at all.

[Q] Uncommon Sense won't recoqnice Google account.

So in my ever continuing quest to find a ROM that works for me I think I may have finally found it, Uncommon Sense 1.1 I think it's an older ROM but it's exactly what I'm looking for, the stability of Sense but the launcher and lock screen look like AOSP Android. I flashed it last night and I loved it but I had a huge problem, so huge I went back and loaded a nandroid of my previous ROM, Senseless rEVOlution. When I loaded the ROM for the first time I loaded the ROM it wouldn't let me enter my Google account information. The option to do so was greyed out and when I tried to select it nothing happened, though it still let me enter the information for my Comcast.net email account. Then when I tried to open the market and the Gmail apps I immediately was sent back to the home screen, I didn't even get a forced close error. I went into settings>accounts and sync and found no option to add a Google account. I checked all my running applications but there was no opstion to update or uninstall the market (version 2.2.7). As a last resort I went to the web based market to download Astro file manager to my hone but it said that it was already installed and wouldn't let me install it again. I tried downloading another file manager (I forget what it's called) but it never downloaded to my phone. Finally I jut got fed up and restored my nandroid of Senseless rEVOlution. Not only did everything work the way it should but that other file manager had downloaded to my Senseless rEVOlution nandroid backup somehow. I really don't get it. I really want to use this ROM but this problem needs to be solved first. Doed anyone have know what the problem might be? Shoulf I unsync my Google account from Senseless rEVOlution and flash Uncommon Sense again?
Oh and I should mention that I culdn't get any of the apps and widgets that were installed, like the HTC colck widget, to recognixe my location. This too was fixed upon loading the Senseless rEVOlution nandroid.
Sounds like that the GAPPS weren't (aren't?) installed in Uncommon Sense 1.1? Try redownloading it from XDA and don't do the install if it is listed in ROM Manager. Flash the zip. Do a full wipe - factory user data reset/dalvik cache a few times, then flash the zip and see what happens.
Thanks RMarkwald. I flashed the ROM without the gapps package and everything now works like it should. This really is an old ROM, it even comes with the really old version of the market brfore it was redesigned (it has since updated to the most recent version). My only concern is that it is so old that my phone wants to install a system update, and with ll the recent talk about carriers cracking down on root users and Verizon tracking who is rooted and who isn't by tracking who;s phone takes updates and who;s doesn't I'm reluctand to take the update yet I can't get my phone to stop notifying me about it. Other then that great ROM.
There was a fix to get rid of that, I don't remember what it was but most devs have incorporated it into roms now. I'll look around but do a search for like remove OTA update notification or something to see what you find.

You can use Skyraider 3.5 with the uncommon pack, it adds the launcher, app drawer and status bar of uncommon. It doesn't have musicmod, but it has pretty much everything else.

[Q] Gingerbread swap

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

Q: SMS app from MIUI

Hi guys, is there any possible way to get the apk file of the SMS app from MIUI
I love their sms app, but the ROM keeps crashing and reboots and then gets stuck at the bootscreen...so not really usefull because i have to flas the PCIMG again, then root it againnand...yeah, that is pretty annoying :/
So if anyone could manage to extract this apk file it would be great
//EDIT: Found a way myself, but now is the question: why don't i have the same functions on a CM ROM as on the MIUI ROM although it is the same message apk
Could anyone explain it to me? Because i really liked the SMS style of MIUI but these ROMs keep crashing like mentioned above. On what does the style of the message depend, and how can i get the MIUI style on CM?

No one able to explain it to me?

MIUI is based of cm and their .apk may work in similar android versions (never tried myself) but if they changed a lot of framework then you would need to do a lot more then just install the apk
On a side note, if you phone bootloops because of a bad app, you don't have to unroot and reroot, just flash a new rom. wipe may be needed so you may loose data, always nandroid before doing new things for situations like this a nandroid is key

I tried to wipe and flash, but even the CMW crashes after about 10-15 sec. So i had to reroot it anyway
Well, the apk worked to install, but it still looked like the stock message app from CM so in fact there is no difference between those two, so the problem has to lay in the ROM layout.
This is what i don't really get though
Sent from my HTC Vision
Then there are other issues as this should never happpen, I would suggest updating to 4ext recovery (if you don't know how : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27796375)
You may need to ask someone more familiar with miui as I don't run it that often, I couldn't tell you what exactly to add to get their messaging apk. My assumption is that it is an overall theme applied ontop of cm and you can't take individual apks and move them to different builds expecting them to look and act the same.
Maybe ask one of the developers who have ported/built miui roms?
