First of all, sorry if i missed the right section. This is my first post.
Also I'm opening a new thread because my question comes from a 6 months+ old thread.
The thing is I have followed this steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057132&page=2
and after a few screw ups i finally managed to do this the right way (i was setting the permissions incorrectly), so after a few boot loops, i managed to reboot my phone but to my surprise, the background images weren't changed, i still have the same blue waves as before. Any ideas as to why it might have not worked??
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi, I am currently running the .42 generic us firmware, and I was working with root explorer to move files and change permissions, just that. Thanks a lot

Oh, that's it, my bad, actually I'm not trying to edit any app, I just want to change the background image for the stock themes.

So, I have read that it's an issue with all Froyo ROM's on the EVO... You can't see paid/protected apps in the Marketplace; supposedly, the apps not showing are not verified to work on Froyo.
Could someone just patch the build_prop like they did on the Nexus One before Google released the official fix?
N1 Fix Thread for Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693102
If anyone wants to tackle it, the dev of the N1 fix explained what needs to be done here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693102
I don't have an EVO, nor am I much of a developer; but I just rooted my friend's EVO and was looking for a fix for him when I realized that the N1 had a very similar issue when it was running leaked versions of Froyo.
Just throwing it out there... I could be way off.
I think this should be easy to do. Theoretically you should be able to take buildprop swticher v0.3.1.zip and replace /buildprop/build.2.1 with the build.prop from stock and /buildprop/build.2.2 with the build.prop from CM6 and then follow the directions from that post.
I'm about to test it out myself and see if it works...
Let me know... If it does, could you post the build.prop files that you used?
EDIT: Awesome to see another SC member!
Okay, first attempt boot looped. I think build.2.1 needs to be a 2.2 build.prop modified to look like 2.1 because the stock 2.1 build.prop won't work with 2.2. Should've looked at that more instead of rushing Going to see if I can find the lines to change real quick, gotta go back to work in a few minutes...
It also cleared my Google Account settings haha... trying a new modification but may not be able to upload anything until tonight!
Thanks for your help... Can you post your build.props before going back to work? If so, I will try to work on this more if you aren't able to get it before going back.
Thanks
Just printed and compared the build.props for the N1 fix and see that there are only 2 lines that were changed. If someone wants to provide me with a 2.1 build.prop and the CM6 build.prop, I might be able to get this working.
Don't bother with it man.
I'm the one posted the Nexus thread. I already tried changing the build.prop fingerprints & it didn't fix the issue.
Only thing keeping me from using CM6

After you changed the lines in build.prop did you try reseting Market?
settings > Applications > Manage Applications > ALL > Market > Clear data
Geniusdog... what all does the ro.build.fingerprint line do?

Yep. Even tried pushing it while still in recovery, right after wiping and flashing the ROM. Still a no go
Edit: the to.build.fingerprint is the "fingerprint" it shows when it accesses the Market. So its how the Market decides what apps to show, and sees what kind of device it is & its version

We need a setting like most of the android browsers to allow us to spoof ourselves as stock 2.1 EVO.

Hmmm...editing fingerprint and description *SHOULD* work but it did not work when I tried adding the fingerprint/description from Avalaunch's Froyo ROM. It seems that Ava's Froyo ROM fixed the missing apps issue. It's so very bizarre that we can't get certain market apps to show on CM6 and drives me crazy. There has to be some type of solution, I'm just not sure what it is yet
ok this is what we did on the Hero when we was with 1.5 and got the leak of 2.1 the market didnt show all the apps so we just change it with the nexus one, so i am guessing maybe we can get a 2.2nexus one build.prop and push it to the Evo, make sure to clear the market chache though , it took like 5-6hours for the apps to start showing up on the Hero!! just an Idea

Have you tried just using the whole build.prop from Ava's ROM? Should work ok since they're both 2.2, no idea if it'll fix the issue though.

bootlooops
Edit: nvm, was incomplete.
Sense build.prop files & AOSP build.prop files don't play nice together. Neither do CDMA files & GSM files.
It takes some changes to get the phone to boot with them, or to get radio access with them.
I've already tried a stock Nexus fingerprint, but it still doesn't give access. Like I said, I even pushed the file before even booting the phone (I.E, wipe, flash CM6, push file in recovery, then reboot) and it still didn't work.
Ava's build prop comes up, but no Market. Something else is going on.

Duh, forgot it was Sense for a minute there. I feel like looking into it more but I'm not sure if anyone's going to find a solution.
So, as of yesterday i am completely new to android, though a big tech head.
my typical approach tends to be break it now, and figure out how to fix it.. then if it breaks again you know what to do. haha..
i'm looking for a backup, i uninstalled google talk and of course had the associated problems with doing that, and am unable to repair it without another image.
Other Suggestions?
I tried all of the Clockwork mods available for similar devices and none work :-/ bad thing is, if it doesnt work I have to pull my battery out, meaning I have to take this damn two piece case off! Help us peeps of genius! Thanks
I am also looking for the ROM, as I deleted the Talk as well. I reinstalled Talk, but the Market still does not work. If anyone can help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.
I think that I have found the ROM at:

EDIT: It is a very slow download!
EDIT 2: I have installed this and can confirm that it does work!
Ok so we download this but what can we do after we install this? This is just the recovery image right?

I have uploaded this and both informational files to my site. You guys may view then at:
Code:
muh****.com/downloads/
They have images with step by step instructions. I will not be hosting these files long, maybe a few weeks, as it will kill my bandwidth.
Oh, yes, it is only the factory image/rom/firmware. I was only doing this for the people that have messed up their phones and are needing to restore to the current factory settings. This is not the same as the phones restore, as that does not replace system files, but this does.
Thank you Xerxes
I'm just gonna download it just incase i mess up my phone in the future.

So does anyone have a ROM cooked up for this one yet? Or a reliable method to Root it? It is driving me bonkers that it constantly launches the crapware that came preloaded on it. It need to be cleaned, the bloat slows it to a painful speed...
Anyone? Why would it auto launch Uno? Help!

I have rooted mine twice without any issues, other than I deleted Google Talk the first time, using SuperOneClickv1.5.4-ShortFuse.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
EDIT: Also I bought SystemApp Remover, to remove Uno, midnight bowling and a few other things. It works great, once you are rooted. You have to hit the uninstall twice on some apps.
system app remover
if it says just uninstalls and not deletes... whats tha difference. also has anyone found a way to increase volume hrough headset/ I am rooted through z4root. also had no luck in installing clockwork mod recovery..
Uninstall means it removes it, and not just deleting the program. So it removes the settings that calls for it to run, and not just delete the program an leave the settings.

I have the option checked to install non market apps, but if I download wifi tether, for instance, from the dev's website, my phone will not even let me click on "install," though I can hit "cancel." I've tried this with a free other apks, such a Swype, volume+, etc. Some allow me to hit install and some do not.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions? Btw, rooted gnex, stock 4.0.2, vzw.

First, I want to thank you for posting your question in the appropriate place. By chance, are you running JuiceDefender? If so, there is a bug that sometimes does not allow a user to install non-market applications without a workaround (you will find it in settings when configuring JuiceDefender). If you're not running JuiceDefender, then I am not sure, sorry .

I'm not. And since my original post, while my phone was laying on the couch, something changed and now I'm able to install those apks I've downloaded. Someone at AndroidForums suggested I side-load apks from my computer, but my only means of wifi is from my phone and wifi-tether was one of those apks that wouldn't install, until just an hour ago. I've had this issue rooted, unrooted, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and it seems to come and go.
It seems no one else is posting about it anywhere that I can find, so if nothing else I wanted others to know that it is happening.

To see the thanks button you must NOT be on the classical theme of the forum. You can change that in UserCP.
if you have the screen filter app, disable it before installing the app....this did it for me. hope this helps
I attempted to flash a .zip patch to remove the QSlide Apps part of the notification drop-down menu, and since then I've been getting constant messages of "System UI has stopped" and the status bar does not show at all. Tried a factory reset on the phone itself but to no avail. Going to attempt to flash system stock ROM from a .zip ... any other suggestions / advice???

Why do you guys keep flashing things without making a backup first?! Unfortunately there is no other way for you to get back to working order; you have to LGPST back to stock. Next time make a backup if you're going to flash ANYTHING.

I had something simpler happen with exposed framework, my status bar would disappear then I would get an error "system UI has stopped" . Just un installed all modules and removed exposed. Not sure if you are using exposed. But that's how I fixed mine.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
Can a mod move this to the Q&A section please before it gets out of hand. Not flaming you bro but we as a community need to keep things in order and post where we are supposed to post. Don't worry we've all posted in the wrong section a time or two.

You dont need to flash the whole thing just overwrite LGSystemUI.apk with the original one I attached, set correct permission and reboot.
You should backup any file you decide to change first..luckily the phone will still boot with a bad systemui apk
Hopefully that fixes it, hopefully what he flashed didn't change any other files outside of Systemui.

Thanks for the apk and sorry about posting in the wrong forum at first.....
How exactly should I go about installing the new apk though? When I used Package Installer it keeps saying "Application not installed" and doesn't run. Sideload Wonder Machine or something equivalent maybe? I had a tough time today with setting up LGPST so I'd like to save that as a last resort if possible.... Thanks for the responses though!
Never mind....figured it out. Forgot it had to be pushed over.... Needless to say I need to spend some more time around Android! It's been a while since I first got in the game.
Status bar is back up and running, and it even maintained removal of the QSlide Apps portion, which is what I was trying to fix all along -- my original screw up! All's well that ends well I guess.
Thanks all for your help! :good:
Hi,
I was screwing around the other day and without realising, deleted the Phone app
When I restarted my phone, I got into a bootloop (it went from the SAMSUNG animation to the 'Optimizing apps' screen, and back to the SAMSUNG animation)
I tried installing an old one that I found on APKMirror, which booted, but 'com.android.phone' keeps crashing and I can't do anything!
So is anybody able to upload the original Phone APK from their phone? I've got an A3, but I'm sure one from an A5/7 would work the same.
If anybody could, they'd be a lifesaver!
TIA,
Ben

Well the euphoria was short lived. I installed it by putting it in /system/app and doing 'chmod 644' on it, but it still keeps crashing and I still have no SIM card...
Does it need to be installed somewhere special? priv-app?

I used SD-Maid to export the apk. Don't know it's original location.
I think /system/priv-app/TeleService/ but maybe you should reflash stock again. Just freeze apps (first few days) instead of deleting them to prefent mayor issues like this. I'm sorry.
