Any ROMS with a File Explorer? Got the Stuck at download problem.

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!
River

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

Your post is a tad confusing. Are you attempting to push an HTC clock onto an AOSP or Sense Gingerbread rom? If it is the former, it's not going to work. If it is the latter, wouldn't it be easier to simply go into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then reflash the rom?

[Q] LeeDroid HD 3.1.4: Sense 3.0 Addon not installing & others

Hello all,
Sorry for posting here....although I have followed the forum, I have not posted much and cannot post yet in the development forums.
1. I installed LeeDroid..its a great ROM! (thanks) I flashed the sense 3.0 add-on a couple of times through the CWM 3.0.2.6 but the sense is still 2.1. What am I doing wrong?
2. How to I flash the radio? I have S-off and Eng-off..my CID is HD_001 (I can change it to 1111111 if needed). Please let me know.
3. Is there an Arabic add-on for the latest leeDroid rom (this would be awesome)
Thanks!

Bump!
Anyone knows the answer?

1. For now, Lee's patch is the lockscreen, weather & mms. He did indicate he was playing with rosie 3 and wdigets from SEO's thread. Never know, he may make a updated patch for us.
If you have any problems (FCs, weather not syncing and so on) try to do a data partition wipe or go to Settings -> Applications -> Mnage aplications -> All apps and clear data of these apps:
HTC Weather Sync Provider
Weather Provider
HTC Sense
Messages
Please avoid restoring titanium backups of above applications

2. Read this and all warnings: [RADIO][LATEST: 26.09.04.11]The HTC Desire HD Radio Thread
DL the correct radio
check md5 (ensure the checksum matches - not corrupted - on the above thread). If It's in a zip, extract, you want to check the radio.img file.
Place the extracted radio.img into the sdk folder where the fastboot.exe is located
Use CMD to navigate to that folder ie. cd\program files\android\android-sdk\tools\ (yours might be slightly different, but you get the idea)
Connect phone to pc, USB debugging enabled, Edit: Charge only mode
type " fastboot reboot bootloader", wait a minute, phone will boot into FASTBOOT USB
type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
Reboot phone, you can check version menu / settings / about phone / software information
You don't need to worry about RIL's, as the RIL is provided in the ROM for ......11_M2
3. Not too sure about the Arabic patch yet, I'm sure Lee will get around to it soon enough.

Weather Problems (Lee's)

Im having a similar problem, my weather never ever syncs properly. I click into weather update and its brings in the weather then as soon as i change screen it dissapears and doesnt come back.
The above doesn't work for me. Ive tried this process a few times now, each time its just removes all my apps from the 7 screens and reverts back to the stock setting.
How do you make the weather work properly? Its so annoying.

I got the exact same issue with the weather, any fix ?

Thanks a lot

force close issues with rosie 3.0
I just did a full wipe today to flash the LeeDroid 3.1.5 w/ kernal 3.1.6. I am running the recommended radio aswell. I flashed the sense 3.0 kingdom and flashed rosie 3.0 after. all from Lee's OP. Screens worked well and looked great, but when I tried to start playing with the widgets I got force close from Rosie 3.0 everytime. Tried a fresh wipe and reflashed again and cleared cache from sense and still had same force close problems. So I went the 3rd round without rosie installed and everything is working normally. I havent tried installing w/o sense 3.0 all-in-one.
I think this problem is related possibly to the problems in this forum so I thought I would share. Think it needs a little work but I really liked the addon, so I hope it is resolved..!

I had the same issue with the weather when I first starting the using sense 3.0 patch. Deleting all data for the weather app fixed it for me
Settings -> Manage Applications -> All -> Weather -> Clear Data
For good measure I also cleared the data for anything else relating to weather (widget, provider, agent service, etc) but you might just get away with just clearing data for the weather app itself

You are not doing anything wrong, sense in leedroid remains 2.1 despite the addons/mods you are applying because those are not full sense 3.0 but just parts of it.

this sense 3.0 weather app has got me exhausted, really.
i tried so many tips and tricks but again it force closes.
it never comes up on lock screen.
why don't they fix it soon ...

[Q] MIUI ICS Icon Backgrounds

I installed the most recent MIUI ICS image, and installed Go Launcher EX after because I need an app drawer.
However I noticed that both in the stock launcher and Go Launcher, tons of my apps had this gross square background on them. Even already square icons like facebook have a second background behind them. I've fiddled around in all the settings I can think of and none of them turn this off.
Ideas?
I'd post an image but I have yet to obtain such permissions.
EDIT: I guess this is more of a general ICS question, since installing Launcher Pro didnt fix it either.

Trying to understand what you mean. Are you saying you want the ics icons instead of the miui icons?

Edit: I'm on miui ics by the way in case u didn't notice lol

MIUI ICS
I'm pretty experienced with flashing roms and bumped into this MiUI ICS for the EVO. I couldn't find the 4G, they haven't enabled WiMax yet for this rom?

Did you read anything about MIUI before flashing it?
The answer is no. There's never been 4G on MIUI. Probably never will be. It's Chinese, where they don't have wimax, and it's closed source, so devs can't add it in.
And to the OP, that's normal. Some themes will remove the icon background. If you want me to modify your theme or make one without icon backgrounds, just send me a pm. It'll just take a second.

MIUI ics v4 2.5.7
I've been trying to flash MIUI 2.5.7 v4, I do everything on the instructions, but still won't reboot, does anyone have any idea if there is anything else to do::
1. Downloaded the zip to root in sd
2. reboot into cm recovery
3. whipped apps data and dalvik cache
4. flashed zip file
5. try to reboot system, but these is the step where my phone stops doing anything.
I've tried to install without deleting apps an data, I've tried flashing with RA but still doesn't work....
Thanks...

Continue to use AmonRA to flash this or any other ROM [CM has been proven not to fully wipe when trying custom ROM]... You may want to wipe everything EXCEPT for your SDcard then try reflashing the ROM again... If for some reason that doesn't work then you may want to redownload the ROM again to eliminate the possibility of you trying to flash a bad download.

I'm quite certain it's not _exactly_ what he's been speaking of.
I've installed a GB MIUI on my HTC Desire and have similar problems.
It's not the MIUI theme icons vs. stock GB\ICS icons question.
It's that MIUI apparently ADDS a padding background under ALL app icons, regardless of the launcher you're using.
So even in GoLauncher I'm seeing these terrible "glass" green-tinted squares under ALL the friggin icons, even the ones which could absolutely do without it. If I knew whose idea it was not to make this optional - I'd buy an airline ticket to see him and do unspeakable things unto him.

Once MIUI ICS has it's theme ap all sorted out, you can change your icons to those of any theme that's out there. Heck, there are ICS themes now you can try and change them with.
That's one of the great things about MIUI. The fact that you can theme each individual aspect of the phone with just a few clicks.

Also, Swiper's MIUI is on the verge of having 4G

No good. I downloaded a theme and applied its icons, but still get this icon background thing. Maybe it's because it's not vanilla MIUI but a variant (FCR MIUI).
See attached screenshot for example:
1. Icon "reader" is a custom icon set by me, it displays normally.
2. Icon "Cool Reader" is default app icon, shows with a background, same for "Calc".
UPD
Too bad, I was getting to like MIUI, but
- absence of trackpad2unlock
- no patch for 2-way recording in their kernels
- godawful iphonesque icon padding which won't go away
- no consistently working hardkey backlight disabling
are reasons enough to switch back to my original rom, which was not so snappy and cool, but offers all these benefits which are substantial.

Themes ~ How do I install onto Device?

ive searched the forums...ive searched google and even manual for the HTC One V and i cannot for the life of me find a thing on how to (or where to) install themes ive downloaded and installed onto the device??
help would be appreciated, i just cannot figure this out and im sure its prob easy too? :silly:

What themes?
There is nothing called 'themes'! Is there? If you're not using any launcher, then in HTC Sense 4.0, we have to go to the HTC Hub and download themes/skins (as far as I know). And if you're using a launcher such as Apex, you'll have to go to the Play Store and download themes and they automatically get installed! Then where's the point of 'where to install themes?'
If you've downloaded the APK Theme Files of some launcher, then you just need to copy them to the SD Card and run and install them. Then it will be displayed in the corresponding launcher. :^)
It'll be better if you specify the extension of the theme files you've downloaded and the launcher you're using.

Well, you cant install any 3rd party themes in the stock rom. For that, you need to be running on custom roms (like CM9 based roms), even then, the themes have to be resolution specific.
The only way to customize the appearance of your OS is via Settings --> Personalize. There are a bunch of themes available ( not very beautiful though.)

okay...now im really confused??
some say use a file explorer, soforth but you are stating it cannot be done??
so, i cannot install my themes at all??

pls be generous enough to share from where u got themes (dont say they are live wallpapers)
to get into sdcard use xplore file manager by lcg or the es file explorer .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to clear the confusion here,
If you are not rooted and are using the stock HTC Sense ROM without any 3rd party launchers then the only themes that you can use are the ones in the HTC hub.
If you do not wish to root but wanna install themes, i suggest you install Go Launcher, Apex or any other 3rd party launcher that is available in the play store, themes for these will also be available there.:good:

i think it was the play store i DLd to my PC then installed onto SDcard on device.
as it stands, it is using HTC stuff....i have no idea how to get a "launcher", i dont know a thing of "rooting"
i need serious help here! :good:

follow this link,
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex&hl=en) on your pc
click the button "install"
once you click it, it will ask you for a gmail account
use the same gmail account that you have used on your one v (assuming that you are connected to 2g/3g or WIFI from your phone)
once it accepts the credentials.
the download will start on your PHONE, there is no way to dl an app to your pc via play store.
you dont have to worry about installing it, once it is dl'd it will auto install
try to learn how this launcher works, use it for a few days, if you are not satisfied then you can give other launchers a go using play store app from your phone or using your browser to go to https://play.google.com/store
Enjoy:good:
