VaelPak urgent help needed - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just installed 3.2. I flashed what I'm pretty sure is the latest version of gapps after but there is no market app. I am also curious as to whether I will be charged for using the hotspot since it is the sprint version of the app.

well i have been running it for a while now, and i dont know why you installed gapps after, i havent needed it, its all there in the rom, do a fresh install, if you are restoring apps dont restore the data, simply restore the apps, if you need any of the regular apps that are not preinstaled with the rom simply go to vaelpak setting, flashable mods, then apps, and you will find what you need there, and no the hotspot its free, hope it helps if not pm me, and ill ghuide you thru, been running it for a while now and havent had any trouble and i do mess with it a lot.
more info: also if you need to uninstall any apps that are consider system app inside vaelpak settings under device settings and other the is an option to safely uninstall system apps.
more info2: remember this is a sense rom, not asop, doesnt look like sense much, but it is

I was double installing google apps so it wasn't allowing me to sync my google account. I have had to flash them with all the roms that I have ran in the past, so I just did it out of habit for this one. Everything seems to be working great now. Thanks.

The only roms you have to flash gapps is with AOSP roms. Anything based on Sense, don't have to.

[Q] Updating Market apps restored with Titanium

Some apps that have been restored with Titanium Backup won't update in the market. The download will reach 100% and then the installation will fail, or it will just sit there.
Usually I can resolve it by unmounting the SD card, but that is really annoying, and I would like to find the cause & cure. Does it have something to do with the app's cache or something?
I had a similar issue. I think it might have to do with the market itself. Instead of updating the app from the update tab in market, search for the app in market and install from there. That has helped me.
Also, it helps if you post what your current setup is. Various roms, kernels and basebands can cause issues too. Not just titanium.

It's not titanium or the market from my experience, It's the kernel. The only time I haven't gotten hang ups was with the stock kernel.
Just cancel and re start the download. May take a couple tries :/

This is stock 2.2, rooted. I did an RUU install, and then used Titanium to restore my apps. They all show up in the market.
Once I have gotten an app to update with the sdcard unmount, subsequent updates appear to be fine. Still annoying though.
Oh hmm. I guess I wasn't on a stock kernel long enough to see it. I know I've seen other people post about it, guess it just bothers some people more then others.
I do wish there was a fix for it, or some way to realize what was causing it.

Roms & APKS

Not sure if this info has been posted anywhere. So, I would like to know if there is any way to install APKs from a different rom onto current rom. I am currently running IncRom 1.2, but I have never been a fan of Sense dialers. I would like to install either MIUI dialer or any 2.3 based dialer. Is it possible, and if so, how would I go about doing that? Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
Just download whatever rom you want the apk from and put it onto your new rom? I hope that makes sense as I can't think of a better way to explain ...

I get what you're saying and I've tried that before, but then I always get force closes on phone app. What I've done before is grab apk from 2nd rom, place it in place of apk in current rom. I've tried zipping after that, and not zipping the file. After trying both ways, I reinstall rom, then run into the force close issue. Do I need to reinstall Rom after that? Or am I not even doing this the right way?
You need to fix the permission after you put it into your rom. I use root explorer and its two boxes for the first row then one for the other two.

Sounds good. Will try fixing permissions. Will report back on results. BTW, thanks for the help so far.
I don't think it is possible because the phone apk is tied into the framework. Please correct me if I'm wrong
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I fixed permissions, removed current phone.apk and replaced it with the fixed phone.apk. I rezipped rom and reinstalled. Once it was up and running I was right back where I started with the original phone.apk, minus the fc's.

I know this works with the music.apk as I've done it in the past just replacing the stock app with the gingerbread music app and it worked just fine after setting permissions. But now that I think about it more I think I also had to install it just like a regualr app to get all the files in place then set permissions not just replace the file in the system/app folder.
The phone apk ties into other programs. It is not a stand alone flash. There would need to be some code changes to make it work.
Seems like too much work for me. Appreciate the ideas & help you guys offered.

Check out incredibly re-engineered...
Aosp dialer will probably not work on a Sense based roms as Sense is a UI overlayed and pretty deeply integrated into the Android os. You may want to consider one of the dialer options from market...Dialer one is popular. Or you may just want to consider moving to an aosp rom.

I have been trying to install reengineered but ever since I updated clockworkmod I can't. That's besides the point. I have used a few aosp roms but miss out on Sense. Guess I have my cake, but can't eat it. Oh well.

[Q] Why does Titanium Backup cause problems for new roms?

I've noticed that some ROMS do not suggest restoring apps with data when using titanium backup. Can someone please explain to me why this is so? and for an app that the majority of root users have, why hasn't there been any adjustments on either end to bridge the gap of incompatability?
I just think it sucks that titanium backup is supposed to be able to restore your apps onto a new rom like you never deleted them, but it messes things up when you try
I think restoring apps is fine, its the data that gets u. I dont do sny of thst, i always clean install then reinstall my apps, its not like it takes very long and i love the fact that i never have any issues at all with roms

Different roms handle data uniquely..... say you have all your apps on a stock incredible Rom if you flash a custom incredible Rom restoring data shouldn't be a problem.....but when you flash a ported Rom like an evo or z based Rom that's where you get in trouble because all of your data was based off of an incredible Rom.

Well maybe just stick to incredible framework roms and u wont have to deal with that prob

You generally shouldn't migrate data between different ROMs...if you're on Cyanogenmod 7 and you update to a newer build you should be fine, BUT if you go to a different ROM you should only restore the app...certain apps you can get away with restoring the data too, but DO NOT migrate system data.

Downloading from android market question (easily the weirdest problem you'll see)

Hi XDA, long time lurker, first time poster.
So I rooted my droid incredible yesterday evening. Everything was dandy- I installed CM7. However, this afternoon i stopped being able to use the market application - it would require a force close - both the market app and downloader. I decided to wipe everything, reinstall, and re root and do it again. I installed CM7 again, market wouldn't work. I then did a full wipe, factory reset, cache reset, davlik reset, and installed the newest nightly build of CM7. Still couldn't download from app marketplace.
I now just installed SkyRaider 4.0. I still can't download from the google marketplace on my phone. I can, however, install from the amazon app store, and when I use google's web install interface I can install the google marketplace apps from there (this also works for appbrain).
--I can use the google marketplace and appbrain marketplace on my computer, just not on my phone --
Clearly, the default android marketplace app doesn't work on my phone (and consequently appbrain as it goes through that).
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Brian
Any other apps not working?

Reboot into Clockwork recovery, there is a fix permissions options. If I remember right it is in the advanced section. Run it. It will not hurt anything it will just run script that will run through the files and fix the permission settings on them.
Fixing permissions didn't eliminate the problem.

Titanium Backup.
Been some problems with titanium back up when flashing new roms, see galaxy nexus development threads for some examples, if you want a relatively failsafe method that stores your apps off phone you can use a file manager like astro to back up all your apps into apks then drop the backups into a folder on your computer via usb, along with any media or data you want preserved, then reload after fully wiping phone and flashing new rom, you might have to download a file manager to install the apks if rom doesnt have one. Gather you have a custom recovery installed, dont forget to update it prior to flashing new rom so you can recover if all doesnt go to plan. Good luck

If you're interested in using your PC to back things up, you may as well give apk batch installer a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531880
If you are using the latest version of titanium backup, you have the option of creating flashable zips of all your apps with data included. Tried it a few times and it seems to work flawlessly for me. The key is to avoid restoring any system apps. I have about 70+ apps to restore and setup. Before it would take me an hour or two, now is done in about 10 minutes.

Titanium backup is useless unless you actually have the pro version. Pro version makes it all one click, set it and forget it. Definitely recommend it for any custom rom flasher.
