Anyone knows how do i get Google Play/Market to work on my phone.
I get a message that i have to create an account.
Here's my story.
Flashed 7.1 for the very first time on my Desire and worked like a charm until i started on Google Apps.
I downloaded the version CyanogenMod 9 on the SD card and installed.
On the first attempt i did not get any Google Application except for the Google Play/Market.
I could not use it because it kept on throwing Sever Error. I installed Market Enabler as a fix but uninstalled it because it did not figure out how to use it.
I then hard rebooted the phone, cleared Dalvik Cache and re-installed the CyanogenMod 9 (Google Application package again). I did not get any lock screen but this time it installed Facebook and Twitter. There was no Google e-mail available so i could not use market again.
The third time i used CyanogenMod7. Installation was painless but as soon as the phone shows the lock screen it went back to the loading screen with Android icon.
The fourth time i tried CyanogenMod9 again but this time i only got Google Play/Market.
I used 5 presious hours yesterday and had to roll back to the original ROM because i could not get the Market to work.
Reply in the right section and you might get a decent reply, this is development only. you need to put it in Q/A section or in the thread for the rom you used.
Wrong section. Reported.
Don't post here anymore - it's no use bumping this to the top of the forum, only annoying.
As for you, OP - you're an I-D-I-D-O-T-H.

A little respect wouldn't go amiss. (as your here to 'help' as your sig says). The poster above you said all that needed to be said.
Erm - if I was going to infract the OP for posting in the wrong section, I would definitely infract the rest of you for flaming.
This is very simple: report the post. Do not reply. Do not flame. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Let me deal with 'training' the user to post in the correct forums - that's my job.
To the OP, some guidelines:
1. do not post in Development.
2. if you have to ask, 'should this go in development?' the answer is almost always no.
3. when in doubt, see rule 2, and post it in General. If it belongs in Development, it'll get moved.
Posting in Development is like true love - when it happens, you'll know!
A bit lame but I hope that helps.
Who the hells Erm?
kite edit: just my personal take on "um" or "uh".
Back on topic!

I will start by sayign I checked over the first 5 pages of the forum and used the search feature on the site but could still not find the answer I was looking for.
2nd I have OCD And I really want to clear out as much of the preinstalled crap that came on the phone that I don't use. I have already gotten rid of about 10 items and the phone is still running fine but I am unsure of how to tackle the rest.
Can I...
1) Get rid of friendstream and still have facebook sync working after mainly for syncing my facebook phone contacs? (I would/could disable my facebook sync account before the uninstall and add it back after but will this work?)
2) If I remove footprints can I also remove the CAR PANEL app? I (probably like most here) only use maps but have not seen anyone mention the removal of car panel. Also what would the command line be? /system/bin/rm /system/app/CarPanel.apk ???
3) Final question if I remove the voice dialer would that have any impact on any other services?
Thanks in advance guys.

Well, I'll put you on the right path, but you'll have to find your own way. You need root to remove system apps, which are stored in /system/apps/ I believe. You will need to research where such apps are stored, and how to root your phone. I recommend looking at the subforum specific to your phone.
^^^ I have the Incredible phone and I am on the General Incredible forums. Also I am rooted otherwise how would I already removed a bunch of apps? (Which I stated in the original post)
I am just asking about these 3 apps in particular.
This is like the most unhelpful forum I have ever been to.

I don't think anyone really knows the answer to your three questions. Why don't you just make a nandroid backup then experiment? Post your results here when your done so others can learn from it.

Thanks for all the lulz, bro. Although I'll warn you that deleting Footprints can break Facebook syncing. I'm pretty sure there's a "list of apps that are safe to delete" thread in this good forum. Not to be "unhelpful" or anything, Mr. Entitlement.
Yea I tried to remove friendstream and the sync problems start up right after so I just did a Nandroid backup and all is well.
I also tried to remove the car panel app but it wasn't going through.
If anyone else is reading this can someone tell me what the command line might be for that? I was trying all different variations with a capital C & P and nothing was working.

If you do a simple google search, you'll find this forum HERE , and will see that you have to manually tell android to stop the sync for this app
I also found the answer to removing car panel HERE
Three things ive noticed since updating to the new Tilt 2 official Rom. Every time the device starts up, the "Backlight and Power" SETTINGS screen loads, as i said, every time the device starts up. Its pointless, undesired, annoying, and has done that from the start.
*(2) On the SMS tab of the new "HTC SENSE" (newer version of touchflo pretty much) whenever you get a new SMS and go over to the SMS tab, the newest message isnt ever at the top of the list (waiting for you right in front of your face) on the previous official ROM the newest SMS was always placed/focused right at top of the list for you to see instantly. Not the case with this new ROM, you have to scroll through your old messages, to the very top to read the new SMS, instead of it being right there.
*(3) Why the heck did they get rid of the task manager in the upper right corner next to the clock? Are you kidding? That was just too easy to terminate programs, and switch focus to them if youd like. They got rid of it!? Ridiculous.
Tweaks of any kind are welcome and appreciated, im sure by a few people. I am an advanced user so i would understand. If anyone else thinks of gripes with the new ROM please post here!

Try this. i have not tried it yet so i cant tell you if it works but people have said it works on tp2 w/ sense!
Thank you, i will definitely check that out. i appreciate the helpful input, instead of being told where and how to post like a lot of other people seem to like to do. I sincerely appreciate your time and efforts. Looks like a good suggestion by just checking out the screenshots.
There's already several threads going regarding this ROM in the ROM Development forum (where this belonged and has been moved to). Had you taken a moment to look you could have found them and posted your drivel in one of them instead of having yet another thread on the same subject scattered around the forums. Your Task Manager gripe is among the most well-known and easiest to fix as a cab is posted in those other threads for it. Forums have certain etiquette that members are expected to abide by and not searching and starting superfluous threads will make others call you out on it. I was not rude to you in any way.
not sure why you posted the same question.
in two different sub-forums.

i've installed onenote on cm10 preview 10. when i rann it, it seemed all right until an unknown error tip appears after logging in. is it a problem with onenote or cm10?
i've got less than 10 posts, so i can only post my question here.
Could one or another, or both. I'm guessing it's the app, go check updates description in market if it supports jb. If that's not the case, try fix permissions. Otherwise, it's a rom issue and you'll just have to wait. Btw, you posted in right section, don't ever post questions in the dev section or you're going to have a bad time.
Read the description they are working on compatibility issues with jb.

That solved my issues.
I have been trying to track down some issues i have been having with Google Now on Jelly Bean, and I have realized there are a few different versions of teh google search apk, (sometimes labled velvet.apk) in the wild.
2.0.0.398337 2.0.0.392829 and v2.0.0.402395 all exist at a minumum.
With the latest AOKP AUG25 build containing the lowest of the three at 2.0.0.392829 i am curious what other versions there are.
A few tests can be done that will hopefully help me to narrow down the issues at hand. Under Settings>Privacy and Accounts, there should be an option that allows you to use google.com for search instead of local domain, but this option does not exist on my build. I think that this may be why my gNow does not work as well as some other individuals.
For instance,
When I ask google "How tall is Kobe Bryant?" a voice response returns "Kobe Bryant is 6 foot 6 inches tall" ...
When I ask google "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?" it simple shows the results in google, with no card, but if i ask "What is the height of the Eiffel Tower? the voice response is given. It has been verified by others using the higher versions of google search that asking "how tall is" works just fine on their end.
Additionally, (and this may be across the board for all instances of GNOW) when i try to use the offline feature the only ability gnow has is to make a phone call. One would assume that being able to create alarms, and send text would still be available.
If anyone can help shed some light onto this issue please comment below. Also i have linked to the gnexus guide for google now for function reference.

As well as the configuration page for google now on xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740542
It may just be that we need to pull the google search apk from the nexus and load it onto our phone (running a JB based rom of course)
I would like to further expand on this. I used to say 44th president or 43 president etc, and it would say george Bush, Barak, etc... But now it only shows the text answer. Did google change something or what?

If i ask "41st president" i get a text response. IF i ask "Who was the 41st president" I get a spoke answer. This remains true until the 16th president. From that point and lower all answers are text based.
Something foul is definitely afoot here.
I noticed the same thing. Asking what's the weather on the Nexus gives weather then says "here's the forecast for the week" unlike on our GS2
this truly may be in the wrong thread, but i put it here because i thought it was an issue with our rom...I wonder if i can report my own thead.
Can we just pull the apk from a nexus 7? Lol

Even though you think its a rom issue I believe this thread is better served and supported in Q&A as previously advised I think you need to ask a mod to move for you. I assume you want answers and not flamers and leaving it here will get more of the matter "

Hopefully people can start uploading there google seach version and we can start to compare them to find out which versions have which options.
Yeah, um. I don't know how to say this without sounding offensive. But the new format this page has. SUCKS! Oh yeah, I gotta ask a question. Alright, here goes. Why is it that I can enter something in the search bar here up to the right, and get NOTHING on a subject that I know for sure is here on XDA? I don't get it, and suddenly feel retarded everytime I try to use it since. It's a good thing I have a buncha bookmarks on my PC or I'd get totally lost within your search parameters. Believe me I already have more than a few times. Yeah, I'm obviously frustrated with it enough to write this little note for all you Admins, Moderators, whoever it is thats running things around here. Look, I should be able to enter something into the search bar and find it. But someone decided to change something that wasn't broke to begin with and now it's being difficult! Take this for an example. I'm researching a project I want to start. So, usually I would first start out in the search bar. Now go ahead, I dare ya! Enter this: Samsung Galaxy S Relay. That's an "exact" search parameter. Again with the no offense but, can any one of you tell me why I get directed to some page not even related? Where'd it lead me too? How to Root Any Device. Please fix your search parameters!

Sorry you're having trouble, but I get relevant search results using Samsung Galaxy S Relay.
Try clearing your cache? A different xda theme? Or to test, try another browser?
You can browse the devices section too, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-relay-4g
Good luck! :good:

Next to the search bar , there's a button called "search plus" , click on it and you'll have the right search bar ( the little one you were using is to search between article from XDA Portal)
Okay, I'm back for a follow up, because this seems to be an obvious difficulty and I'll bet I'm not the only one that may be having issues with this. It's a navigation thing about the current format I see here on XDA. I noticed it a few weeks ago and it's not my cache. When I'm on my tablet I can navigate fine, but when I come here on my PC it's another story, and it's very frustrating. That's why you got this question before you in such a way. You guys who may understand it having set it up know how to get around. As I mentioned before it used to be fairly easy, now it's stupid not to belittle you. The problem is that it has suddenly become difficult to search for things in a normal maner. I use the search bar, which should dirrectly link me to what I am "specifically" looking for and let's put aside the search plus for the moment. If I'm searching for something that I know is there and I type in certain words that should bring me right to it, my question is, why aren't they! I'm getting redirected to some page, often of no relevance. And here's where I'll bet this is happening to others. So what's going on? There's a problem with your search bar, and I'm letting you know it's kinda frustrating. I can navigate through here with other ways, that's not a problem. I got some bookmarked, subscribed to, ect. The issue is that the search bar in itself is broken! Whatever you guys did to it, I saw it, pointing it out! Now fix it please. This might help. I noticed a difference about two weeks ago. Not sure what it is or was. I even cleared out from my PC anything that would suggestively lead to it being my PC settings. Being a good enough percentage to say it's not, it's therefore XDA.
On a side note for all you Admins and Mods. I've been coming here over 10 years now, I got questions and suggestions. But right now my suggestion is to please eliminate some obvious confusion I've noticed that affects an average user to navigate through your search areas.
Oh! Okay, there's the sudden difference!
[QUOTE( the little one you were using is to search between article from XDA Portal)[/QUOTE]
Wow. Really? Let me ask you something about what's that all about and why did this change and for what possible reason. And then why isn't there some notice the the search bar is no longer effective as it's says it is. I'll point for you guys that the search bar says QUOTE; Type device or find apps, ROMs & more. It does not say, "This is where you go to find stuff barely relevant to what you're searching for". Does it! Sorry that this may sound offending buuut. Bad words! To me, the search bar suddenly became a joke, and a bad one at that! Articles are nice but that's not what I was looking for. And in no way was I expecting to end up there.
Okay, so here's a basic question. let's put this on the table so to speak. I don't know why you put a link to articles in the search bar in such a way to begin with. It doesn't really make sense to me. Especially with your nifty new format of where everything is, except articles I'm going to guess. So you put them in the search bar with no notice of. Can you explain all that to me? Cuz right now I'm sorry to admit, I'm kinda laughing at this. I can just imagine all you went through, even deciding on how to change the old format to what I see now. It's good. However, when it comes to the search bar, whatever idea you went with. It's one that didn't notify anyone that the search bar isn't what it says it is~!
Ignoring your saltiness, why dont you use google and append each search with xda..

You seem to be angry and it's a pity. Did you try the suggestion provided by RaiZProduction in a previous post? Does the Search Plus button (see my screenshot attached) allow you to find what you are usually looking for on XDA Forum?

I'm far from angry. But check this out. This is the Q & A section is it not? So i'm askinfg a question about a difference I noticed and the A's I'm getting are a joke! Really? Hey Wood Man? You're deflecting. Step off unless you got something relevant to say. To those of you at XDA I now have a minor complaint! You people need to read what I said. I said I noticed a difference with the search bar and could someone tell me whats wrong with it. The answer I got was a confirmation that the search bar was not functional as it says it is and that's it. So. Mr Wood Man. Did I follow the suggestion you mentioned? Ahem! Are you asking to get put down blatantly or what? I made a post, RaiZProduction made a suggestion, what may I ask you is the post after that? Mine! A follow up. Before you decide to jump in there, you might wanna inform yourself better.. This here Q & A asked, "Rather than sending a PM to an individual Moderator, please feel free to ask questions in need of Moderator or Admin assistance. We will all be monitoring this thread, and someone will reply without much delay." Well, I obviously came to the right place didn't I? Everyone has a personal preference and I used the search bar a lot.
OK, I'll stop this here.
Answers were given, some with ideas, others saying all is fine for them. And also your opinion on the search is noted. However, it seems to work for everyone else, so not sure what more to say.
And honestly, your aggressive posts are getting a bit much, so I'll end this before lines get crossed. I suggest a more respectful approach in the future Sir. :good:
