Desire + Google music 4.1.512 cant install

I tried to install the latest version of Google music (4.1.512) on my desire but with no success.
I tried from a downloaded APK and from market app (with market enabler help) and it shows always this error: "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previews copy of the app and try again."
The installed version is 4.0.1.501 and I'm using the Mildwild CM 3.1.
Thank you.

And did you uninstall the.previous version? To update from 4.0.1 I had to uninstall.
4.1.x was crap though. As soon as I lost signal, music stopped. It didn't cache even though selected. Downgraded ASAP

that's not true. I have it and I am in UK.
OP - that happens coz 4.0 is beta if I'm not mistaken.

The installed version will already be part of the ROM so you will need ES File Explorer (Or equivalent with root access and /SYSTEM write) to browse to /SYSTEM/APP/ and remove it.
Once removed reboot your phone and then install the APK and it shouldn't say you need to remove the previous version.
To install the APK just copy it to your SD card and install via ES File Explorer (or equivalent) and it should work. If it moans and says install failed you might need to sign the APK using APK manager or APK multi tool.

You installed it via .apk way rather than market though didn't you? Cos I don't have it on the market and I'm in London..

No. Install market enabler first. Fake a us provider. Google music will be available. But uninstall the 4.0 version first (make a backup before uninstalling).

So it works for everyone else then? I'm skeptical. Did anyone actually test?

I've put this version on my rom and it seems to be working fine. I don't listen to that much music to be honest but it played fine, no skipping or locking up or anything like that. Not sure if I lost my signal at any point though.

Lol. Tested this now playing Foo fighters and turned airplane mode on and off again and the music didn't stop at all.
To be fair I used it without headphones but don't think that would make much difference?!

Odd. Just me then. As soon as I go into the train tunnel, it cuts off. Actually checking my download files, its 4.1.511. Maybe that was a bug...

That could be the reason. I downloaded that version but never used it so I would say give this version a go and see. It seems fine to me.

Thanks. Thought market enabler would allow me to find it in the market but apparently not

GPS fix!

Just to give a shout to EPEK.WARE and their awesome GPS Doctor app on the market. I have not been able to get a GPS fix on any of the new ICS roms and found this program tonight. Some of the reviews stated that it did or did not work for them but for $1.99 thought i'd give it a go.
To my surprise I went from 1 or 2 sat's in view but not in use to 8+ and all being used! Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone tired of not getting a GPS lock.

A bit late in the reply, but yeah I flashed the FC22 modem (on Blu Kuban Rom btw), updated my PRL and I'm still getting the dreaded "Waiting for location" message when trying to use the Google Maps Navigation app. I'll try the other modems & see if that works.

If anyone cares to try it, this has been around for a while I just made it flashable.
It should work with ICS and GB.
Here is the original thread if anyone wants to reference it:

Edit: This does not replace anything BTW. It adds a file to one of the system folders. If you want to know exactly what & where, read through the thread I posted above.

That did it. I don't use GPS much (if ever), but it always bugged me that I couldn't get it to work. Thanks.

See post #9 for the fix. I know this worked wonders for GB and ICS.
Hope it also works for you folks having issues with JB.
365 downloads and only 3 thanks. Bummer.

Hey TD can I just push this into my /system/lib/hw and set permissions?
On Kobridge's DeOdexed FL16
I have a gps.exynos4.so there already don't know if they conflict or not.
And since my last JB upgrade (from FL04 to FL16) my GPS has gone to sh^t. And I've tried just about everything already. Could be hardware but hoping just the same.

For JB flash the one I attached.
Hey LB. This just adds a new file and doesn't replace anything. Jellybean is real weird about setting permissions sometimes on flashed files so this zip sets the permissions for you (only difference is permissions are set with this one).
Oh, and let us know how it goes.
Edit: BTW, I'm not having issues but I flashed it anyway and had GPS lock before I even stepped outside the front door.

I'll do it now.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Here's hoping...
Well still didn't get any GPS app to lock. Google maps works but that always had, though poorly and loses connections if navigating.
On the plus side (at least for now anyways) any GPS app I open (FasterGPS, GPS Status & Toolbox etc.) will actually close and stop searching.
Previously if I installed these and tried to get a location - even just on google maps they would launch in the backround (whether I opened maps or Facebook) and I'd get the 'trying to aquire gps location' thingy running even after closing the app(s).
And the only way to stop that is either go to App Info and force close the System UI or reboot. Turning off GPS and/or all location services does nothing once the search had started.
I guess it's getting down to hardware. Kind of really p.o.'d Got rid of my last phone becuase the GPS stopped working. I guess I'm one of the few who use the snot out of it. I moved to a new area a few years ago and don't know where jack is. And nothing is logically laid out here either.
Thanks again. I'll have to start considering other options. :/

help please
running JB 4.1.2 GB08 google nav is unable to lock on to gps unless I reboot my phone then it will work normal until I use nav again at which point says searching for GPS , any idea on how to fix this

Try updating to GB27 modem, updating PRL and profile. I had issues with GB08 too. Also, try Comadose tweaks Goddly put together. It's in the dev forum. It has a jb gps lock tweak. Good luck!

[ROM][JB][CM10][PORT]Jellybean Port from Desire S (12/06/2012)

I present to you a Jellybean ROM port! i know cnote has already released one, but the more variety the better? perhaps...we shall see
first off, i would like to thank:
-nk111: for letting me use his ROM to port. link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776256
-elginsk8r: for the kernel. awesome!
-aaraya1516: for his never ending help in compiling the kernel and files for me. thank you!!
-Cnote: for letting me use his ROM as a base
-Synthetic.nightmare: for his kernel, and for still teaching me things. what a good teacher/dev
-ckisgen: for helping me fix an important bug regarding SD card
-the other devs
-the xda peeps here
onto the ROM
Here are some screenshots! Give thanks to this user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29135158&postcount=125
what works:
-camera!! yes, it works
-CM stuff, like weather on lockscreen, a power menu that can reboot, go into recovery, etc.
-thats all i know for now. the rest is the basic stuff, like wifi, bluetooth, etc.
what doesnt work:
-i am not too sure myself, so if anyone wants to keep looking for stuff, please do and inform us so i can put it under here
-heat issues because of the kernel. With pretty much anything that requires audio and having headphones inserted will cause the phone to heat up
Instructions:
1. wipe all /system, /cache/ dalvik-cache, and /data
2. flash ROM
3. flash gapps
4. flash LowMicFix.zip (so Google Now and other apps can recognize voice better. mic is too soft)
if updating:
1. just flash it without wiping system, data, etc.
2. flash gapps
3. flash LowMicFix.zip

tips:
if you want to record video, download videocam illusion. go into the settings, and change the audio frequency from 48kHz to 44.1kHz. there ya go, recording!
dont want a green line on your 5mp pics? check out Camera JB+ on the play store (or if you can find it elsewhere ). it works fine for me
full wiping from time to time may help in the lagginess of the ROM. this one is up to the user
a cache and dalvik cache wipe may be effective. also, fix permissions. that can be helpful as well

test this out guys!
Up to date kernel (thanks THEindian):

i flashed it, nothing went wrong. i am going to see if it worked. it probably will. go for it!

Status update #1: Dev-Host is being a PITA. so, google drive will be the new mirror for now
Status update #2: i uploaded the 7-19 version. camera works, since i replaced some files from the 7-20 version. backlights seem to be working as well, even with auto-brightness
Status update #3: apparently, the backlights keep going on and off at random times with auto brightness. strange...
Status update #4: looks like i never updated this in a while lol. ok, so cm things from cm9 are now starting to come together in cm10 . bluetooth is finally working...well it discovers devices now. 8-14-2012 is the latest build. go get it!
Status update #5: i've been slacking in these lol. anyways, a new build will be up. it will be a 9-14-2012 version (status made on 9/13/2012)
Status update #6: i will have to delay the update. sorry about that (status made on 9/13/2012)
Status update #7: finally an update (9-17-2012)! camera works out of the box (or out of flash...however you want to say it), which means you dont need to flash the camfix. isnt that great?? less things to flash! (status made on 9/17/2012)
Status update #8: 3.0 kernel is being worked on. as for now, a new update is being uploaded. also, check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881573 (made on 9/24/2012)
Status update #9: trying to get wifi working on the 3.0 kernel. no luck so far. will continue to try.
edit: it did not work. kernel 3.0 does not have working wifi yet. but we are so close. wifi is the only thing standing in the way (unless the heat and battery issue when headphones are inserted is still present. i didnt really test it) (status made on 10/5/2012)
Status update #10: i am back! just did an update to this port. hope you all enjoy. last port for this phone, unless i change my mind and do other ports in the future . (status made on 12/12/2012)
Status update #11: thanks to THEindian, a kernel that fixes the overheating problem. woohoo! and it's up to date (made on 12/22/2012)

Downloading now. Gonna play with it until I fall asleep

Well its supposed to connect fast on wifi, it uses the IP address to help pinpoint your location.
What makes a difference is if it locks on the network, cause wifi ain't everywhere ya know.

[Q]Is it possible to enable NFC at lock screen?

I love NFC and was hoping to use it a lot with the chips I bought. However unlocking the phone first is really stupid. Is there some way to enable NFC to work at the lock screen? So that the NFC unlocks it or something? It is kinda useless to me now. BTW I have root, but no recovery. I don't want recovery because of the triangle stuff.

why u dont just enable the NFC all the time? i dont think with NFC enable/disable the battery drain is noticable

I think you understood me wrong. NFC doesn't work when the screen is off/locked. That sucks, because I want to use it when coming home/leaving home and I really don't see the point in using this if I have to unlock it first.

Yeah,
Even the manual says it only works when the screen is unlocked.

I'm not trying. Also I just hope there is some way without recovery.

I really hope there will be an "official" way at some point.

If anyone is making a mod for this, maybe we can bypass the security concerns if there was a pop-up that requires you to approve the tag first, and be pre-approved for known tags. This way security is not compromised, and we also get the added convenience as well.

You can just extract the zip using something like rom toolbox, and then copy the files to there respective place manually, that way you don't need recovery.

Seconded, would love this for my note ii

I'm using this method which is for Note 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999569
Works fine. Have set up a few tags and using it with Secure Settings, NFC Task Launcher and Tasker to do a number of things without having to wake the phone up or unlock first.
The only issue is that if you put your wallet in the same pocket as your phone, it will beep when it scans the the NFC chips in the credit cards
The method replaces the NFC service file in the system directory so at the very least you need root access.

All works for me, woohoo but whenever you use the browser or chrome, it crashes the nfc service

I'm experiencing that problem as well now. Also on launching YouTube service. It's annoying and makes it more inconvenient than having nfc screen off. There is another method through XposedFramework which is non destructive on the stock NFC.apk file. Might be worth a look?
www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/nfc-lockscreenoff-enabler.9/viewfile
But before that, I tried to restore my NFC to a non crashing version after doing the CWM method. I couldn't get my stock NFC.apk back, even with TitaniunBackup. Had to do a selective /system restore.

Am having the same issue with my S4. Didn't open the Google Maps app all day and yet it uses close to 40% of the battery.

Go to Google Settings app, then go to location then turn off access location. Make sure Location Services is OFF as well.

Do you happen to use Google Now? For some reason, its location implementation makes it use Google Maps although you the user have never opened the app itself. I've had this problem myself too and I ended up disabling Google Now

I was also wondering why Google Maps is always running. I just disabled/uninstall Google Maps altogether.

Same problem with my phone too.

I found this or clearing the cache would stop maps from wake locking.

what is that a app?

Go into Map settings>Location settings and turn off Resort grin this device and Enable Location History. This should solve your problem.

I had same problem I solved by searching on google. The trick is to disable and factory reinstall it.
When you go in app manager then map click Disable it will the propose you to install factory version say yes and renable it then boot just in case and Map won't consume the battery.
It worked for me and alot of other people
I don't why it do this some kind of bug in map that is delivered with phone but resting solve it.

I just did that, but do I need to update to the latest maps though? I'm guessing No, cuz the latest update has people complaining about the battery drain.
