Fixing market "download Unsuccessful" - and update to market 2.2.6

Hey Everyone,
Thought i would share what i did to fix up the issues using the market!
Had a fresh install of FRX06, Had done the bluetooth patch (all working, great work guys btw)
Only real issue i had was downloading from the market. Nothing would download.
Every time just download unsuccessful.
So i played around trying to fix it, and ended up being able to upgrade the market to the newer version, and it all works
So steps.
1. Download vending.apk for version 2.2.6 of the market. (attached)
2. plug your phone into your PC and start up droidexplorer.
3. open command prompt in droidexplorer and type "mount -o remount,rw /"
4. go to /system/app and copy the current vending.apk to your computer (for a backup)
5. delete vending.apk from /system/app
6. Rename the new 2.2.6 version to "vending.apk" and copy it to /system/app
7. restart the phone
8. open market and check that it is working
Hope this helps a few of you out and to get your market working
Or to get the newer version of the market.
Cheers

And now something has gone wrong
Was working fine, till my phone had a SOD and wouldnt turn on so i pulled the battery.

Strangely enough... I copied the original market back over and its working (not as pretty though )

I don't have a vending.apk on my system. I tried replacing market.apk, but it just force closed.

I won't have time to check that market APK until quite late tonight at the earliest, and maybe not for a few days (really busy week!), but nearly every one I've ever seen is signed with a key incompatible with our gapps distribution, so I suspect that's the problem you are having.
To get it to work without permissions-related force closes, you have to re-sign it with one of the platform test keys. (I forget exactly which one at the moment). I've done this with 2.2.6 on my phone but I haven't had time to write a tutorial on it.
Edit: Looking at your logcat, GoogleSettingsProvider permissions issues are a classic sign of a signing key mismatch.

I don't know - I do remember a couple of situations where it would work for one download and then fail.
For example, I tried a market APK from a tiad8 ROM - it was awesome for one download and then failed. Now that I know more about the download architecture I think the awesomeness in performance was a fluke. Download performance is all about DownloadProvider.apk and our filesystem drivers... And so far, my attempt to improve Market downloads by tweaking DownloadProvider made the browser totally unusable.

I have had the same as Entropy with most roms I tried.
I can download 1 or 2 things from the market, very slowly, and then it fails, sometimes with random reboots

Just as an FYI, I HAVE gotten Market 2.2.6 to work reliably - it isn't any faster though, that's for sure.
I'll try to post details sometime next week on how to do it. I'm basically out all evening every evening until the end of the weekend so don't have time to post it now.

Shadoxity... question if you will... where did you d/l the bluetooth patch from?

BTW.. I had the same issue w/ market. Went into settings>>applications>> manage applications>> clicked on Market and cleared cache. Did it once and I was only able to d/l 1 file... did it a second time and I've been good since Tuesday. Hope it helps

bluetooth was being tested for Rhodiums over at [TESTING] New audio routing for Froyo. Bluetooth info is in 2nd post.

It didn't work for me... After rebooted the phone (topaz) if I try to run the market it seems to load a white window and after a couple of second it says it's not responding...

What I notice about market is that it leaves 1.83MB-sized "orphans" in /cache. Not sure why it is that size, but regardless of the size of the app it ends up with that fragment.

Tried that but made no difference on mine

Has anyone bothered to get logs from the original issue (before the known issue of permissions after manually upgrading the apk)? The only one I've seen had out of memory errors spamming their logs, but they couldn't get me a useful set of logs to look at. If someone could get a log from after a failed market download with my app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123129 it would be much appreciated.

I replaced google apps in frx06 on gapps package downloaded here:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-mdpi-20110501-signed.zip
Yes is named as mdpi, but 100% compatible with hdpi too.
And it's works perfect on my opinion.

But why...? For what purpose did you replace the gapps package?

Just to know, how to install this package? Still through droidexplorer?

[Q] Questions on CM9 rom for Verizon Galaxy Nexus 4g

Hey guys, so I finally dumped moto as my phone of choice (coming from a D3), and got a Samgsung Galaxy Nexus 4g from Verizon. Talk about night and day!
Anywho, before I get too setup on it, I figured why not unlock and get CM9 running.
Then I realized things are a bit different than the old droid 3, and heck even my xoom.
I see there is a separate forum for the Verizon device, and I'm not 100% sure if there is a current stable CM9 release for it or not. Can someone point me in the right direction for a stable release if there is?
Also, for rooting, is it the same general process as the xoom..back stuff up, unlock and then flash a rooted image? No alterate to that that doesn't involve the unlock?
What about restoring images?
I'm very familiar with all of this in terms of using adb, fastboot, moto devices, etc, but this seems to be a bit of a different arena.
Thanks for any help!:highfive:

1) this is a question... so it should be here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1336
2) there is no official stable cm9 period. only nightlies.
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058 - how to root.
4) if you want to restore to complete stock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25477039&postcount=1

Zepius pretty much summed it all up. For what it's worth, unlocking and rooting your Nexus is increadibly easy. It can be down in about 10 minutes and from what I've seen, it's almost impossible to brick these devices

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum initially.
Also thanks to you both for your replies!
I ended up using the Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit to do my dirty work Automation for the win!
Anyhow, again thank you both! I've just installed Gummy so off I go to customize! This seems so much easier in the long haul than with the Droid 3. Seems like everything is going great!
Update: LOL Nyan cat boot screen...just...epic!

CM9 gives me lots of system not responding messages during installation of apps (not the download, but the install).
I did plug in adb logcat to see what errors or issues might occur on install, and installed the free amazon.com app from Google Play. Here's a bit of what I got on Logcat. Can anyone tell me about the errors and whether they might be responsible for the system not responding I often get? And if so, what might be a fix if it's not part of CM9? I didn't get this particular error with AOKP, so I'm wondering what it could be.

Might want to start your own thread, this wasn't a thread for that

You could try to fix permissions in CWM recovery, and clear dalvik cache.

Well, given this only happened moving to CM9 and not on AOKP...I thought it was CM9 related...and this is Q&A after all..
I'm doing 'fixing permissions...' right now on CWM 5.8.0.2....I'll happily nuke the messages, but I thought it might help others if this fixes it...because a system not responding | Wait | kinda sucks.

[ROM][Official Nightly][Android 4.4] CyanogenMod 11.0 for SGS4A (int'l)

Note:
This thread started as a discussion for development of a working CM11.0 / KitKat build for GT-I9295 / S4 Active International. At first, with assistance from a CM dev who wishes to remain unnamed and does not want involvement with this, a build was produced for this device, based on work previously done by LeJay on CM10.2. Unfortunately, I have not been able to contact LeJay, which is the primary motivation for starting this thread. Since then, and in a short space of time, xda user @spegelius, has managed to progress this to a fully functional build, which some users are already using as a daily driver.
After much hard work from pretty much everyone except me, it pleases me to write that this device has reached official status, and as such one can obtain nightly builds, updates, and source code, from the official CyanogenMod sources. Congratulations to all involved, and the effort thats been put in to make this happen.
Instructions:
1. Install CWM recovery from TODO: link official CWM here
2. Download the latest official nightly from: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jactivelte
Left for historic purposes (older pre-official builds): Credit: spegelius: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzJzDM42pkRvdDR0ZE00UERGU1E&usp=sharing
3. Download CM11.0 gapps from here
4. Boot into recovery by holding the Volume Up button as the phone is booting.
5. Back up your current ROM inside CWM recovery.
6. Flash CyanogenMod ROM to your device using CWM recovery.
7. Flash Google Applications to your device using CWM recovery.
8. Do a wipe data/factory reset from within CWM recovery.
9. Reboot system.
Known Issues:
1. None that I'm currently aware of.
2. Report them. Keeping this part up to date has proven to never actually happen, so maybe just read through the entire thread. Convenient right?
Build from source:
Please consult this guide for setting up CyanogenMod for compile.
Please use
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
when you initialize the CyanogenMod repository so you get the source for CM-11.0.
Run 'repo sync' and compile with 'brunch jactivelte'. Proprietary files you can find on github, or extract them from an existing rom.
This is pretty much a word for word ripoff of LeJay's cm 10.2 post. This is where one would say something like, I take no responsibility if your device explodes, catches fire, invades a foreign nation, causes your cat to get run over by a car, etc.
Thanks goes to LeJay for being pretty much the sole reason a thread was created for this device on XDA, and in turn the people he gave thanks to, primarily the CM team. Additional thanks, of course, goes to spegelius, for running with this thread, and creating something that actually works.

awesome! I look forward to a stable release

Interesting, good to hear there's CM dev helping . I've been playing with the idea of trying to compile CM11 since i got AOSP 4.3 working as daily driver. I'm also using LeJay's work, without it i propably wouldn't even have strated hacking with Android. And i haven't heard from him either, i hope he is okay.
Anyways, my first idea was to try it with same jactiveltexx stuff as cm-10.2 is done and see how far that takes me, but if you have already done it and no display, it's possible that the kenel needs to be updated and newer graphics libs used. Luckily i've done some merging between S4 and S4 Active kernels and i already had a look at CM11 S4 kernel code. There are some changes in the graphics code, so there's a very good possibility to get those merged to Active kernel, to me it looks like S4 and S4 Active have same kernel, except for camera, some gpio stuff and assorted tidbits around the kernel. As for the graphics drivers, i think it should be possible to use libs from S4's CM11 build?
Gotta try this myself later this week

I have tried compiling the stock CM jf common kernel, with s4 active config. SurfaceFlinger fails to initialise EGL libs. I have tried porting LeJay's cm-10.2 active kernel to build on cm11.0, that also fails in the same way. It seems you' are right. The graphics updates for the other s4 devices likely need to be done for active as well, which may require some new props. Jftleatt's props might be worth look at for display props, same cpu/gpu, different lcd panel.. I'm using my phone as a daily, and haven't had much of a chance to test builds.

Weel i made a build myself, tweaked the makefiles etc. but there;s a problem: i can't get past the initial text. Something goes wrong about the build and i don't quite know what. I think i'll do a clean repo sync, current source tree is from cm-10.2 and even though repo status says it's clean, i have a feeling something might be wrong with it.
I did some kernel source merging and the build process does build it, so now to get that damn thing to boot...

Some testing done:
clean CM11 repo sync, still no go with cm-10.2 jactive kernel or the one with merges from jf kernel i made. No adb connection, last_kmsg: http://pastebin.com/Nj5rStTc
using jf kernel and jactive config, with small mods to get it to build, goes a bit further. Screen turns black after the initial Samsung text, adb connection doesn't show up and no last_kmsg available
In he last_kmsg above, it seems that the kernel doesn't mount stuff properly or something?

Finally figured out why i wasn't getting past the initial boot text; a bad formatting in jf-common makefile left almost all of the qcom init files out of the boot.img so no wonder stuff didn't work... teaches me to proofread stuff...
Ok, now that i got that sorted out, i get it to boot. Display stays back, but loking at the logcat, Surfaceflinger doesn't die. So it seems the problem now is that the panel isn't turned on correctly, but otherwise the thing works, maybe. I'm using a mix of blobs from Active and latest jflte CM11 nighly.
Now i need to go to sauna and drink beer ->

Hrmm, it seems the stuff responsible for panel is crashing. Last_kmsg: http://pastebin.com/jZyDLcXw

Hi sir ... As my experience with dirt porting ... You have fixed everything in kerenl as I see the issues come from different libs in /system/lib...
JFLTE libs differ a lot from ours ... Some how the screen has to with the GPU driver... I am saying this because I have tried porting a jflte cm 4.3.1 ROM using the old cm 4.3 kernel by Lejay... It booted (yay) but the screen looks orangish the WiFi doesn't work the ril doesn't work ...but replacing the nessary libs from your aosp fixed the issues (the ROM didn't boot here) I've known these details from a small debugging event I made ...
BTW is there a way of building a device tree for 4.4 ?? Wouldn't that make it easier on us ??

Hmm, i was afraid that the GPU drivers would be somehow related to to panel, even though i was thnking that they are separate stuff so if done correctly, one driver doesn't need to stuff that orher driver does...
I did a build with cm10.2 kernel and libs from the AOSP build and suprisingly same results: lcd init fails, Surfaceflinger doesn't die... i need to do more testing with using some qcom stuff from cm10.2 to help pinpointing things.
By device tree do you mean the makefiles etc. like in jf-common? Already done, they are in my github, cm-11.0 branch has been added. No repo for proprietary files yet, though, need to get something working first...

Why not play with the framebuffer/Screenflinger/ Surfaceflinger in the ramdisk of the kernel i think the init file has to do something for lauching the screen :laugh:
Yes the device tree with all qcom propiretory stuff etc..etc..

Yeah, those init files could be causing this. I tried using cm10.2 device tree (jf-common, qcom-common and msm8960) but there's to much changed and getting it to compile would be too much hassle. I'll see about swapping some init files...
Currently for jactive there are LeJay's devicetree, which contains the jactiveltexx and modified jf-common (some proprietary caera files are disabled). I've updated them a bit and added the cm11 branch. In addition, hardware/samsung, qcom-common and msm8960-common are needed, but these have nothing jactive specific, at least not yet...

Holy sh*t, i got visual . Using:
cm10.2 jactive kernel
cm10.2 jactive blobs
hardware/samsung from cm10.2
otherwise all cm11 stuff
But now mediaserver crashes and system can't fully boot due to not being able to starte the service. But nevertheless, looking good! Gonna try audio blobs from jflte

Ok now this is getting plain weird: i can't make a build that has working display anymore. Same sources, nothing is modified. I run brunch as always and the result: no display... wtf? And, if i use the boot.img from the one and only working build with another buil, there's display :silly: . Me no understand...

Yeah, here are the last_kmsg and logcat from a build that has display: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzJzDM42pkRvdDR0ZE00UERGU1E&usp=sharing
I'm uploading the build also and some other last_kmsg's + logcats
Gonna try to create a bootimg with kernel from aosp. I mean, every build i make now doesn't turn the display on. But if i swap the zImage from the only working build, then the build suddenly has display. I also tried building the kernel separately and creating a bootimg with it, no display...
Edit: with aosp zImage, display is shown... so does this mean that the CM11 gcc somehow borks the kernel build? Or wtf? The kernel i'm building has only some filesystem changes vs. aosp kernel...
Edit2: found out why display wan't turning on: when making device tree, i modified BoardConfig.mk to look as much like jfltexx BoardConfig.mk. With that, kernel variant config and kernel config strings switched places. Turns out, in those two kernel defconfig files (jactive_defconfig and cyanogen_defconfig) two different panels are configured. And when configs were switched, the wrong panel config was taken into use... aargh. Damn, i was looking at those lines and thinking if should change them or not...

I compared the las_kmsg lines to AOSP bootup and those lines are there too, so nothing to worry about (well i hope at least. It seems that the kernel spits out a lot of 'errors', hard to tell what is important and what not.
And the logcat... well to me it seems that the mediaserver is SIGSEGVaulting every now and then, causing the boot loop because servicemanager can't get all the required services running. Also the permission problems... i saw those with AOSP too, apparently they aren't bad. And do note that i haven't installed gapps, that's a fresh boot after factory reset/rom flash.
Yesterday i made a build with kernel that has most of the stuff from jf merged and with active/jf mix of blobs. Boots ok, until the same mediaserver bootloop. I added some debug to AudioPolicyManager and to my suprise it boots up to the 'Welcome to Cyanogenmod' screen, but com.android.phone keeps FCing and i can't use the phone...
Also, god damn Cyanogemod... why does it disable ADB after first boot? It's really frickin nice to get up to this point and then lose all the ability to debug the damn thing!

Anyone get Z2 camera add-ons working?

I was looking at this thread and I tried getting these to work but the only one that works is background defocus.
[PORT] [JB][KK] Xperia Z2 & T2 Smart Social Camera Addons
I moved the libs, set permissions, cleared data, installed apks, and rebooted. Can't get 4k video, Timeshift video, or Portrait Retouch to work. I read the entire 54 pages and haven't found anything that works. Just wondering if anyone did and how. Thanks

What device are you using?
Blurped from my Xperia V 4.3

Same here, except background defocus does not work either, it starts, takes the 2 pictures and closes.
We are using Z1C, cause ... it's the Z1C forum

Makes my camera module crash and eventually disappear completely beyond repair. Had to reflash my ROM to fix it. I will stay far away from this mod till someone can make a proper, step to step guide for the Z1C.

I think there is a permission issue.
This is what I see in the logs during install:

Here I heard it worked on the Nexus 5 ( Try This out )

So, you need a deodexed firmware and superuser mod ....

[Q] Google Play

Any luck getting Google Play Store working, now that we have root? I got it to install using ps4ouya, got signed in to the store, but just get "No Connection". That's the farther than I've gotten with other methods (Play Store usually just crashes).

check logs, report back here

Yep same here no connection.

The playstore GUI is bombing for me also. However, I'm able to use the Google Services Framework (for example, Tune In Pro, which I have via the Playstore, and which does a license check on startup, seems to be working.)
I launch Playstore from within XBMC, which is why some of the logcat references here are around XBMC:

Google Drive working?

maybe - Youtube plus signin is working for me.

I don't have the Fire Tv but many Android Tv box. Usually when i have problems with google play in some strange firmwares, is because some files in system/etc/permissions are missing. The files inside system/etc/permissions are all the permissions that an app can request from Android.
I suggest to read the list of this files on your tablet / phone in which google play works and copy the missing files in Fire tv / compare different permissions.
This can solve the problem. I'm not sure but is possible.

GMail - account management
Does everyone else have GMail working?
Have Google Drive access through ES File manager. Is the app needed?
Many play store fixes I've seen involve changes to the hosts file. Could this be the case here?
Is there way to delete account data? Tried 'clear data' in play store and gmail and it's still there. No account management.

I thinks the problem with the playstore is permissions related. Maybe someone knows how to change that so it is granted it may work?

I don't have the Fire Tv but many Android Tv box. Usually when i have problems with google play in some strange firmwares, is because some files in system/etc/permissions are missing. The files inside system/etc/permissions are all the permissions that an app can request from Android.
I suggest to read the list of this files on your tablet / phone in which google play works and copy the missing files in Fire tv / compare different permissions.
This can solve the problem. I'm not sure but is possible.

@zulu99 aka Strauzo LMAO! Funny to see you still around after that epic fail over at freaktab. Im curious to know what type of adverse could possibly be caused by adding permissions related files that do not work properly? Possible boot loop? IDK but sounds risky

Is there an alternative for AppOpps for older Android versions?
It is restricted to 4.3 normally.

no boot loop, but the permissions to works should be present also in the framework part. Usually dev that strip down android add new permissions but not delete the original. if so the permissions in general can works otherwise no. but the google play problem can be also very different. We should remember that the greatest interest for amazon is run its own market and destroy at all costs the google play store.
However, with the google play services running even paid apps should work.
