Pacman.apk in CM 7 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm would assume it would be the game but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. So, does anyone know what it is? I haven't bothered to look at it cuz I'm lazy?

since your lazy just know its meant to be there

Pacman is the new gapps installer.

I always removed it before signing into google so it wouldn't nag me to download my apps from the market. I assumed it stood for "package manager" but I could be wrong.

Cydia type of store for Android

A store where u can get apps n themes for rooted htc evo...sorry if this quest. was already asked
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G
There is no seperate "app store" like this for Android. Google allows apps that require root in the Market with everything else.
Just search for "root" on the android market. A bunch of root only apps will come up.
Be extremely careful when downloading apps which require root access on your phone! They can bypass normal app permissions and do all kinds of crazy things to your phone without you knowing.
Themes for Android itself cannot be found in the Market due to the fact that a theme must either be custom-made for your ROM and device, or use something like the T-Mobile/CyanogenMod 7 theme engine. Apps such as ADW do have themes in the Android Market which you can use.
You should also not use third-party Markets, as most Android malware/trojans are spread via such Markets (if not downloaded from pirate sites, of course) which have little to no oversight compared to the Android Market.

applanet is for piracy, not off-market apps. and is not reccomended.
appbrain is just the market in a different form.
android market is the place to be. it is like appstore AND cydia in one place.
use appbrain,
but i always find anything in the built-in market though
note : applanet and blapkmarket is for pirated app!!!

I'm assuming this message was for me ?
Anyway, I was going to send the Google Talk ".apk" stripped from a current rom. It should update through the Market whenever there are updates to the Google Talk application. It is the actual .apk and can be installed from the sd card through any file manager. (My Files, Estrong, etc.)
I just couldn't figure out how to attach it so I was going to PM/email it.
Oh I'm sorry I was just joking around like y'all were making a covert package drop with the file I am curious about the market notifying when updates were available...you have any insight?

HAHA! No problem!
I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but you can open the market, then click menu, then settings and make sure that the drop down list choice is set to "notify me" and it should notify you of any updates to programs that you have downloaded from the market. (or apps that it "thinks" came from the market) This should include any apps that are free or paid.
Hope this helps!

[Q] XDA app

Has anyone been experiencing any FC's on the XDA app when attempting to access the settings section?
I haven't. I'm using the new paid version tho so I'm not sure.
You can always try clearing data or a fresh install.

I think it was 99 cents... not a huge difference, but it's ad-free, different layout options and it supports the site...so well worth it IMO.

Actually, the free XDA-Developers app is no longer on the market. I went and saw there was an update for it and I went to update it and it said the item couldn't be found. :|
Mine when open the app after still on the background sometime so didn't connect to the servers, press back button and FC, every time that happens.
I had some FC'S on mine as well and for some reason I had to do a cache/dalvik cache clean via recovery and that worked for me...not sure if that would do it for everyone or if you would even need to go that far but it fixed mine...

yea same thing here makes it impossible to search for things when on the go
They removed the free one from the market and for some reason that's when I started to get FC and when I removed it and tried to reinstall it that's when I realized that it was not in the market anymore I got the paid version cause it was only $.99 but it was kinda odd that it started to happen when they removed the free version.
Yeah, ran into this today. Been using the blue flashable xda for a long time. Today, it somehow auto updated. I hate the brown, but do wanna support xda. I saw comments in market saying the new version diesnt seem to remember 'last read'. And that that color picks in settings doesn't work.
Any chance of a blue themed version coming. ?

Ok. So I went to manage apps, uninstall updates. Uninstalled update on xda. Got my blue xda back, but icon was still diarrhea brown (fugly), was frustrated. But, just rebooted and all is back to blue. Sure hope someone will work on this.
Thanks in advance to jchisurf, riptide, stoney, aamikam, etc

pretty lame that the XDA free app is no longer available........I wenth ahead and forked over the .99 cents to purchase it...........but it would never install, so just before the 15 minutes elapsed, I did the "refund"...........pretty lame indeed............come on XDA, bring the free app back.
I saw there was an update and tried to update and the item wasn't found, but then I did a long hold on the app in "my apps" and there was an update option. That worked to update mine. No FCs so far!
I did have to re-select my subscribed threads. But the app now tells you if people are online!

But, most importantly, with the new market there is a small buy very nice section of apps for $.49.

I hope it's something that doesn't try and take over your phone's basic functionality. If it's just an App that doesn't do anything until you run it then that's fine with me.

It probably does run in the background on boot, unles you AutoStart it off.
On the stock-based ROMs, there's a background service called "SNS" (IIRC) that has the Facebook logo as its icon. This app probably uses that service. SNS can be safely frozen.

Thanks Skripka, that's good to know. I just got my Note 2 and am relatively new to Android in general. When you say frozen, does that mean disabled?

IIRC, SNS cannot be disabled via Manage Apps....It must be "frozen" (disabled) via a root tool like Titanium Backup.
*I don't for for sure what services this new Faceplant app uses...I'm just guessing. Not on the Faceplant, and not going to join just to find out.

My thoughts exactly lol
I hate how they keep cramming FB and Twitter down our throats. If I wanted to let my friend know that I just took a dump, I'd call him on the phone like normal people.
I am glad to see an even greater number and diversity of apps coming to android, and specifically the Note2. That said, Facebook Home will never have an opportunity to afflict my Note2.
Would be promising if it weren't made by Facebook. The app alone is lucky to still be installed.

Why is everybody attacking this? It's an optional app, no more intrusive than any other app on the market. Download it if you want to give it ago, uninstall it if you don't like it.
Anyone find it in the market yet? The facebook app had an update but when I go to settings and enable facebook home it takes me to Google play and says item not found.
