Hey there folks!
Basically, I've been hit with the stuck at downloading problem with my HTC Desire.
It won't download ANY apps whatsoever apart from PayPal for some reason.
I've tried everything, deleting cache/data for various programs, factory reset, HARD reset, installing different roms and even been given a new phone by Orange! Still no luck.
I've even tried creating a new googlemail/gmail account, activating GTalk and all the rest. Nothing is working for me and it is seriously stressing me out.
I was wondering, are there any ROMs out there with a FILE EXPLORER built in? I don't care what file explorer it is, just as long as it has one. That way I'll be able to install MyBack Up Pro and install the rest of my Apps from my SD card instead of having to download them.
I don't really care what ROM it is, I've gotten to the point where I just want a working Desire with apps!
Any help would be grateful.
Much obliged

just do a search for paid apps online and you will probably find them available to download for free and do a manual install via HTC Sync
Filestube.com is a good one
if you like the app, it is worth considering paying for it to support the developers
Hi there,
thanks for replying =]
I can't seem to find a HTC Sync that is compatible with the Mac OS X
I'll have a look around a bit more though.
River.
Is your phone rooted?
If so, open the Rom zip file and add the apk for a file explorer and then install it from the recovery menu, remember to disable verification.
So I would literally just unzip the DeFrost rom, add in File Explorer apk into the zip and then re-zip it.
And then go to the Recovery and just do a wipe an reinstall the rom?
Would that actually install the File Explorer too?
I tried HTC Sync.
For some reason my phone won't connect to it! (Tried on both Mac OS X and Windows 7)
This is definitely not my lucky week >_<
Well that works for me
I use Leedroid mod.
I open zip file and put APK's under Data/App
But i dont unzip, i just open the zip in winrar, add the apk's , choose add and replace and thats it.
then i install rom with signature verification disabled.
Newly flashed rom with my own apk's installed from start.
GIve it a shot
Ahh
I think thats what might have went wrong for me.
The signature verification feature?
How do I disable it? Is it through my phone or through my laptop?
I tried unzipping then adding the apk file in the Apps section and THEN rezipping it but it doesn't work.
The ROM won't install.
Must be because of the verification thing...
In the recovery menu under advanced u can disable it if u use amon ra.
if u use clockwork i think its under the flash zip menu
SOmetimes when i do this it doesnt work first time ( most times it works), if that happens just wipe and reflash.
Good luck
Perfect!
Thanks very much friend.
Finally working. Soon as I got File Manager installed the rest of it became a piece of cake!
I owe you one Charon72!

No problem, Just happy i could help solve your problem.
Enjoy ur working desire

Rip the .apk from a stock rom and then try and install it on the ROM you're using.
ok i'll try that. I'm not certain i know how so let me know if this process isn't correct...
Unzip the Rooted Stock 2.2 ROM
Search for carpanel.apk or somthing similar, then just move that to the sd card and install it.
Thanks. I'll let you know if this works!

Yup exactly...
For your convenience:
The HTC car panel
The other two are the google android car panel files (you need both)
I prefer the google one because it has a music button and works in landscape.
Let me know if I messed up and put the wrong files for any of them.
how exactly do you install that apk file after they are both on your sd card?

download astro file manager from the market.
This app allows you to browse files on your sd card.
Find those .apk files that you need to install.
and itll detect to install it once you launch them
***Side Note***
The first time you try to install an apk itll have a security/protection setting
Youll see what i mean when you attempt to open that file, itll ask you if you want to unblock ---> unblock by unchecking that box.
Thank you very much ! This was quite helpful my HTC desire.
Dude thanks! You rock! Seems that CoreDroid missed that element in their v8.1 ROM for HTC Inspire/Desire HD. I'll be trying this for sure.
Thanks for the links nhutpham, has helped out a family member who lost car panel due to the android 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 updates.
Likewise, my Amaze (2.3.4, Sense 3.0) simply didn't have an HTC Car Panel app. This is a little old, but works fine. Hopefully Sense 4.0 with the ICS update will come with the new car app I've seen demoed at MWC this week.
Hello,
I've got a HTC Desire. My old phone is a Windows Mobile device.
A friend of me has a Desire HD with the App Transfer Data from HTC.
So I thought the Desire would also have this app and I could transfer Data from my messages from my WM device to the desire.
Is there a apk for this app somewhere?
Thanks for helping me.
Pulled from my ROM. It should be working.
Thanks for Transfer Data App i m also searching for this app. Still i didn't use this app, i hope it work's.
dont work for my Samsung Galaxy Tab, Installation failed
I am looking for something similar for my Samsung Galaxy SL i9003. If anyone has any idea, please share.
My Samsung GS2 failed too
@Samsung users:
Maybe your installations failed because this app is from htc?!

You can't install it, you need to copy to system and fix permissions on it via ROOT explorer.

Has anyone managed to install this .apk? I'm trying using the mentioned instructions but I can't seem to manage. Am I missing something here? I'm trying to install onto a DHD running virtuous unity 1.27.0
i got the solution
Friends just signed your apps before installing it in your mobile , you wont get this error....
Download this program to sign your apps.
@Maniascorpio: Thanks a lot buddy!!! it works on my atrix now..
@Maniascorpio: brilliant! thanks a mucho.. you're a life saver! cool.. =)
Newer version
The old version here cannot receive the picture associated with the contact. I have attached the newer version that comes with HTC Sensation. I got it from the file "Stock Apps+ODEX.zip" at this thread: [APPS] T-Mobile Stock Apps & Stock Apps+ODEX Files
Also you may want to sign the application first. Then check the above replay by @maniacscorpio.

Running a Unrooted Galaxy S3 LTE. The app installs fine, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it says "Unfortunately, Transfer has stopped."
Do I need root access?
My girlfriend has downloaded an image from internet by long pressing the image and then selecting "save image" on her Wildfire S with stock Android 2.3.3.
The problem is that the phone keeps downloading this image over and over again even when it is already downloaded. It tries to download the image about every sync action for over a week already.
Before i just delete the whole history i thought maybe someone here knows the answer to this problem, so she can avoid it in the future.
Many thanks for your help!
Hi, I have similar problem, but with applications. Sometimes phone starts downloading already installed app. Even if I set all apps to manual update only.
This behavior is really killing my data plan limit!
My friend with the same phone has this problem too.
Anyone have similar problem or solution to fix it?
The same with me. Does anybody know how to fix it?
Same here. Must be something specific to the wildfire S
I've got the same issue. I guess it'll go away once I can flash a CyanogenMod or MIUI ROM
Works for me alright

It's worth completely removing the offending application and then reinstalling it. I had the download issue with 'LED Light'. Removed it and reinstalled it and problem resolved.
I now have the same issue with another appl - will try the same solutoin
It seems to happen when you do an update which is interrupted partway
We ported this rom on the Aria and had the same issue. I replaced the DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk with the ones in CM7 and it now works fine.
Can you offer this for us?

Here are the apps. You need to delete them from your current rom and replace them for these.
How do I delete them without root access? My Wildfire S is not and can not be rooted at the moment

I assumed the Wildfire S was "rootable". That's a very goo question. You can try something but I have absolutely no guaranties it is going to work because I personally never tried it. Either way, it's your call.
**Make sure you back-up your phone to the Google Server because this will wipe all the data in your phone.**
1- Run the RUU for your phone. This will extract the rom to the temp folder of your computer. For me it's under C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\. An easy way to find it is to clear that folder prior to running the RUU. This way, it should be the only thing in there.
2- Enter the folder and look for a zip file called rom.zip
3- Open the zip file using 7-zip or Winzip. DO NO EXTRACT THE FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER TO REPACKAGE AFTER. THIS WILL SCREW UP THE ROM. You really want to make any addition or subtraction from the archiving utility.
4- Extract the system.img file. Now the challenge is to find a way to edit the content of that file. I personally have no idea how to but I'm sure there must be some tools to do that.
5- Once you've managed to open the .img file, under system/app, there should be DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk. Delete those and replace them with the ones I sent in my previous post.
6- Close the .img file.
7- From 7-zip, delete the system.img file and replace it with the one you edited.
8- Close 7-zip and follow the rest of the instructions from the RUU.
Again, no idea if any of this will work because I've never been in the situation to make changes on an unrooted phone. Your biggest challenge is step 4. If you cannot get in that .img file, then I guess you'll have to wait to get root access to your phone. My guess is that it shouldn't be too long since HTC agreed to unlock the HBoot.
Good Luck!
And is it possible to change this files in a "running" ROM Image (rooted, without flashing)?

I think so. Like I said, I never tried it so it's all speculation here. How about you try to install the apk on top of the ones you currently have, i.e. without deleting them? You do have the ablility to install from Unknown Sources correct?

Yes i have. But I'm new to Android, so I want to be careful.
I replaced both in system\app folder (without installing) and after that my market doesn't work anymore.
So I had to flash my ROM cause the Backup files didn't work too.
Was a lot of work, making all new (but at least Titanium Backup works ).
Maybe somebody other knows more?

I am a bit confused here. What do you mean by you replaced in system/app without installing? Also,you said you used Titanium Backup. I thought this app only worked on rooted phone
Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help because I really have an Aria with a ported rom from Wildfire S. I personally fixed the download issue by deleting and reinstalling these apps, but in reality, I have no idea if that would work on the actual Wildfire S. Sorry that I cannot be of any help.
My phone is rooted.
I mean I changed the apk files in folder system/app with those from you (using Root Explorer). Before I deleted them I made a backup of the original ones.

Ok, so try this then. Delete the apk and don't replace them. Flash the Rom and boot the phone. Then install the apk from ur original Rom, i.e. not the ones I provided, but the ones u originally deleted.

I already flashed my Phone with original ROM and it works again, but the bug is again there.
The point is, I dont want to flash my ROM every week so I hoped there is a solution to change without flashing again.
Otherwise I will wait, my there will be a fix from HTC.
But I wanna say thank you, for your help and your patience with me!

I'm with you on the flashing. I'm not sure HTC will release a fix for this though. However, what u can do is return ur phone and get another one. It seems not everybody has this issue. I'm personally glad I could resolve it on my phone.
Good luck!
this has become irksome.
So on most of the ICS roms that I have tried, there is an app(?) in the app menu called Downloads. It opens, does nothing and shows nothing, just saying "No downloads". I already have a folder on my sd card called Downloads and this has files in it but the app doesn't seem to link to it. It does seem to be linked to something called DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk
thanks for any help.

Alright, I can't believe I did that. I've reread my post and and still can't believe I did that. So here is the question:
"What is the download link?"
And sorry for the confusion. All my fault. Insert caffeine here.

He's trying to find out what the „Downloads” app is for. Frankly, I have no idea either.
Download anything using the stock browser and it'll show up there

I'd try rescanning your media ... all that app is, I believe, is a symlink; may not know anything is there with a fresh ROM install.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
Essentially, the download application is a directory link to files you have downloaded via browsers instead of other sources (ex:Google Play). Akin to the download folder of a computer. If this does not answer your query, I implore you to edit your post.
Hey thanks guys. Have edited op. Many apologies and thanks for your help in clearing it up.
Again sorry and thanks.
