Market has stopped working on my Mini.. just doesn't download anything.. no errors or such.. but things just sit there saying downloading for hours.. but nothing happens..
anyone had this problem?
haven't done any tweaking or screwing around with the phone for weeks so I am not sure what could be up.
I've had it from time to time on my mini pro 2.1 (rooted) I'd put it down to busy servers or something. I just cancel and start again.
I am facing the same problem since 2.1 update. :-(

meh.. I have been re-trying all day but its still not working.. trying to repair phone with SEUS but not having any luck with that either.. oh well.. time for another flash with Bin4ry's 2.1 flasher
Hi everyone,
Maybe I have a solution (only rooted devices).
First of all, let us get what we need.
- In case you don't have root - z4root.apk (totally free, can be find on net, no need to go for it to the market )
- Root Explorer
- Updated market: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9229751&postcount=1 (unsigned version) (cheers to shokmah)
The next step is to totally disable all kind of task killers, and stuff like that.
Turn of the phone, switch it back on. Wait a minute as mini loads fully (all system-background apps).
Now try to download from the market. I know, I know... but please try. Why bother? Because maybe, just maybe, task killer or some app running, and killing sys-background apps are killing also one of the google sys app, so the market wont work properly.
Nothing? Ok, lets go ...
Go to "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Manage applications" (menu button) -> "Filter" -> "All applications"
Find market on the list and wipe app memory (the first option on the list). Also if you have an update installed - uninstall it.
After doing that step lets go to root explorer. And now...
- go to: /system/app
- tap the "Mount R/W" button on top (it will switch to "Mount R/O")
- find "Vending.apk" (SCREENSHOT)
- hold it down, and use "Move" option from the menu (SCREENSHOT)
- navigate to: /sdcard (just hit the back button few times)
- paste "Vending.apk"
- rename it to: "Vending_bak.apk" or something like that, to now thats the original one
- reboot your mini (switch off/on)
- after phone loads go to: "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Manage applications"
- find "com.android.vending" (SCREENSHOT)
- wipe app memory (the second option on the list)
- uninstall app (the first option on the list)
Now is the part when we gonna need this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9229751&postcount=1 (unsigned version).
- put the downloaded apk on your sdcard
- start Root Explorer
- navigate to: /sdcard
- click on the new market app you just put there, and copy it (or move, whatever)
- navigate back, and to: /system/app
- tap "Mount R/W"
- paste it
- change name to "Vending.apk"
- tap 'n hold down the app // from the menu choose "Permissions" (SCREENSHOT)
- tap the options to get this: SCREENSHOT
- tap "OK"
- get out, and reboot your phone
Now just click on the market app from all applications, and see if you can download something (wait just a bit longer - the download may start in about 15-30 seconds after you see the prompt) . This works for my GF. She was suffering from the same issue as you guys, and that helps.
If it's not helping, there must be another error, that I'm not aware off... sorry in that case. Trying to help, and share.
Hope it helps, cheers

Hi,
I have noticed after flashing the ROM that I have two stuck items on the start menu.
Forst one is my02 and the other is Action Update. Both of these give the message "Cannot find 'my02' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available".
If I go into settings, menus and look at the list I can see two entries for both of the above. Either trying to untick the active one or select the inactive one gives the message "Unable to move that item".
So - is there a way to remove the ophaned items and replace them with working items??
Cheers - Rich
ok - figured it out....might be of help to others:
I went into file explorer and deleted the shotcuts from the /my device/windows/start menu folder.
All is well now...
Cheers - Rich
Hello,
I'm new on this Forum, and have a question.
In the home screen, there is standing a icon for my music.
when i'm stand there i can go left and right.. now i want to change this location to my storage card. Hopefully somebody can help me with this.
I think this have to be done in the Register. I have the program CeRegistryEditor so i can do some tweaks in there.
Hope somebody will help me.
Thnks
I'm not quite sure what exactly your question is but if you want to play music from your SD card ...
- go to "Start"
- start from the programs "Windows Media"
- press "Menu"
(maybe you have to select "Update Library" or "5" first if you haven't done already)
- select "Library" (or "4")
- select "Storage Card" (or "2")
- from now on your songs are selected from the SD card
thank you.. you're the best
I am already rooted and everything is fine. Have the Android Market and so forth already running. What I am trying to figure out is where in settings was the options to use Unknown Sources and Debugging. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Is it not accessible even after rooted? Is there an app that lets you get into those options?
Also on another note. Where does anything downloaded for an app store or other files go to. On my Galaxy Tab there is a folder on the root SD called downloads. There is nothing like that here on the Nook. I downloaded Getjar but didn't install it. Can't seem to find where the apk is now to install it.
Go to your Applications and click on tgps_launcher and hit Start.
Everything you want is there.
I must be completely dense today. What is tgps_launcher?
It pretty much brings up the hidden development settings.
When you rooted, you put it on your NT to enable USB debugging, unknown sources, etc.
I don't see anything called that at all. No app at least that I can see. You sure it is on my Nook now. I used the below way to root on my mac...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19592179&postcount=1
and gave me the following apps...
1) Go Launcher Ex (Rooted App Launch/Desktop)
2) Market Place (The Android "App Store")
3) Button Savior (adds tiny button on right of screen for nagivation home/back etc)
4) Home Catcher (makes 2 clicks of the Nook N bring up the new Launcher)
5) Nook Color App Menu (allows you to install sideloaded apps to the Nook home screen/Library)
6) Dolphin HD Browser (Replacement web browser)
Go to Indirect's thread on rooting and DL the tgps_launcher.apk there.
Then hit the "n" button, touch search, type in "tgps", you should be able to see it and launch it right out of the search results. Once it has launched, touch "start" and you will be at the menu you want.
ETA: Here is a link to Indirect's thread. Find this bit
Code:
here is an app to pull up usb debugging menu
http://li362-167.members.linode.com/...s_launcher.apk
and DL that file right onto your Nook.
Look for Appmenu - this will take you to menu settings where you'll see development, etc.
- AppMenu
- Open Application Settings
- check Unknown Sources
- Development - check USB Debugging, etc

Is Appmenu an actual app in the app store or something within settings?

I don't have mine in front of me at the moment, but it's not on the SDCard. It's under My Files/Downloads somewhere in the B&N data folders in the actual tablet storage. Just don't remember where exactly off the top of my head without looking at it.
If you have a launcher installed look to see if you already have it, otherwise:

Thanks everyone for your responses and help. Greatly appreciated.
Now that I got a chance to look, actual location for downloads is media/My Files/My Downloads in the root directory of the tablet.
In no way did i write this. I stumbled onto this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794956 (many thanks AlpineMan btw) and have seen the question here in the Evo 3d section a few times and thought it was worth a share for those running a Sprint ROM and VM or Boost service. I did step one and it worked like a charm. And to me any fix is a good fix. Especially in the land of root phones.
Method 1 - (the real fix, but requires a rooted phone):
***UPDATE***
I've confirmed that this method works on Jellybean ( 4.2.2). Tested and working on VM Evo 3d
1a) Download this working Sprint APN xml file: https://www.box.com/s/40x5ac2c6u0ckzfz59ig (click on download button at the top)
OR
1b) For Boost, download this xml file: https://www.box.com/s/o9folfrq00ee9p2qj5pv (click on download button at the top)
OR
1c) For Virgin Mobile, download this xml file: https://www.box.com/s/9itl21drpp84enqeszc9 (click on download button at the top)
2) Download and install "APN Backup & Restore" from the Google Play Store to your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...pRestore&hl=en
3) Convert the "APN Backup & Restore" into a system app by either using Titanium Backup, or simply use Root Explorer/ES File Explorer (root enable it) to move the APK from /data/app to /system/app.
4) Reboot the phone.
5) Launch the app, click on menu, then click on "Disable ICS Check".
6) In the main app menu, click on "Backup APNs". This will create a directory called "ApnBackupRestore" in your /mnt/sdcard.
7) Copy the xml file from step 1 to the /mnt/sdcard/ApnBackupRestore folder.
8) Go back to the main app menu, click on "Delete APNs" and confirm it.
9) Go back to the main app menu, click on "Restore APNs".
10) Choose the file you downloaded from step 1 and confirm it.
11) Reboot your phone.
12) Done.
Method 2 - (work around, doesn't require rooted phone)
1) Download and install Go SMS Pro to your phone from the Google Play Store.
2) Launch Go SMS Pro and skip through the intro message screens.
3) Skip the Go Chat Service offer unless you really want that.
4) Press Menu button on your GS3.
5) Choose Settings.
6) Scroll down the menu and choose Set default SMS program.
7) Press each entry in the list and put a check mark on "Use by default for this action" then choose Go SMS Pro. When both are done, press the back button on your phone.
8) Up on top, press "Advanced"
9) Scroll down the list and press "MMS Settings"
10) Scroll down the list and put a check mark on "Fill APN configuration manually"
11) Press "MMSC".
12a) Type in "http://mms.sprintpcs.com" - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
OR
12b) Type in "http://mm.myboostmobile.com" for Boost
OR
12c) Type in "http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" for Virgin Mobile
13) Press "MMS PROXY".
14) Type in "68.28.31.7" (Sprint & Boost) OR "205.239.233.136" (Virgin Mobile) - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
15) Press "MMS PORT".
16) Type in "80" (Sprint & Boost) OR "81" (Virgin Mobile) - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
17) Press back button on phone twice.
18) Send/receive a few SMS/MMS messages to test.
19) Done.
Works for Kit KAt (4.4) too
Hey,
Method 1 works for Kit Kat 4.4.1. I'm on a VM evo 3d with the CyanogenMod 11.0 VILLUMINATI Rom
The only difference is the app has to be moved to the /system/priv-app folder for it to be able to acquire the correct permissions.
I also did step 3) with titanium backup, not sure if it helped or not.
Cheers.
Hey xda-developers,
It's me Gio, and I made a tutorial for you guys on how to get Android 5.0.2 on Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo but then the correct way.
First of all, me or the developers that made this ROM and the developers who made the other stuff are not responsible for any damage, this is completely your choice if something screws up. I don't think that something will happen but you will never know what happens. And second, I would like to thank the developers (flex1911, MatheusAlves and the others who made the project).
Tutorial:
1. Make a backup of all your data that is laying in your device. Think for example about important text messages, contacts, photos, or something else.
2. Make sure that you will be able to restore that backup after. So put it in your microSD card or on the computer.
3. Download the new ROM from the link which you can locate below this tutorial.
4. Place it in your device and boot your device into TWRP or CWM. Personally I find TWRP much more handy but your choice.
5. Wipe data, cache and dalvik.
6. Flash this ROM and if you have any other zip to flash (like a Dolby extension or Google Apps), do it after flashing this ROM.
7. Wipe cache and dalvik one more time to avoid errors.
8. Reboot your device and wait till you see the homescreen.
9. Download Wake Lock and install it on your device. (If you are going to install it from APK4Fun for example, you probably need to accept unknown sources from Security in Settings).
10. Open Wake Lock when it is installed and tick the PARTIAL~WAKE~LOCK. This is important to avoid numerous reboots, don't forget to enable it again after every reboot since it may dropout when your turn off your device.
11. Download keylayout.rar from the link which you can locate below this tutorial.
12. Unrar it, and copy the keylayout folder to your device.
13. On your device, open up the Files app.
14. Go to the hamburger menu left above and then go to the gear icon which is the settings.
15. Go to General and then scroll to advanced, and then tick on the first setting of advanced and change it to root modus.
16. SuperUser is going to ask you for permission, accept it.
17. Locate now your keylayout folder and then copy the whole folder.
18. Go back to the hamburger menu and you will see home with under it this symbol "/", tick it and go then to /system/ and then /usr/.
19. You will probably notice that there is already a folder named keylayout, just do nothing with it, you will now paste the folder you copied earlier just there and if it askes to merge and overwrite, just accept it.
20. When it is done, reboot your device and your home button will work again.

Thanks for reading and I hope that you are helped after reading this. Again, if you want to thank me, only do it for the cleared up tutorial, the people who made the ROM and the fixes are the ones who you should thank actually!
Whuuuuu
Thank you man !!
but this Rom is different from Flex rom !?
waiting for the stable version
we want to fix the sound recorder problem :'(
waiting for more success : الضحك:
Well, something it's something. Do you have can fix any other bug? Like the problem with theming or App2sd, you should also find a solution to those bugs.
