Fix Market problem: AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.1 - HD2 Android SD Development

Hi,
The thread for AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.1 is now 17K+ replies & I was lost in there trying to find a solution for the Market problem "This app is incompatible with your phone" even for some apps already installed like facebook!
What I did after getting help from lots of replies in the thread is:
1- Install ES file Explorer.
2- in ES FE: settings->Root Explorer (checked)
3- in ES FE: settings->Mount File System (checked)
4- Brows to /sdcard/Android/
5- Click to edit "startup.txt" & chose an editor (I've ES Note Editor)
6- Edit the lcd_density=167 to lcd_density=240
7- Exit editor saving the file.
8- Brows to /system/
9- Click to edit "build.prop" & chose an editor (I've ES Note Editor)
10- Scroll all the way down till you find & edit the ro.sf.lcd_density=167 to ro.sf.lcd_density=240
11- Exit editor saving the file.
12- in ES FE: settings->Mount File System (UN-CHECK)
13- Exit ES FE.
14- Open Android App Manager
15- Select Market App
16- Select "Details/Clear cache/Force stop"
17- Click "Force stop" & "OK"
18- Click "Clear data" & "OK"
19- Exit App Manager
20- Re-boot
My problem was fixed & I installed all the apps without any problems.
Thanks to Warren and Cope

All I did was to force close Market and clear data, no reboot required.

THX I Love It

I am faced with the same issue so was very excited to find your post; however I cannot even go past step 1 since ES file explorer turns out to be one of those apps that the market says are not compatible with my device.
Do you have a workarround for that?
Thanks a lot!

Dude, seriously?
You're opening a new thread in the wrong section for this?
Your way costs lots of time and changes the resolution.
Just change in startup.txt the lcd_density=167 to lcd_density=160.
This won't change your resolution, compared with your way.
Start Android, open the Rom Manager app.
Touch "Fix Permissions".
When it's done reboot and you're ready to go.

Resoution Changed

Hi man,
i tried your solution, before i even go to market to test.. it changed my screen resolution and everything became bigger and my Launcher icons become very big so i revert back.
Is this also happening with you or only me?
Thanks

I'm glad that your way is shorter - I wish you posted before - I just wanted to share what fixed my problem after going through 1000's of posts in the thread!
I think adding more posts to the original ROM thread is really complicating things ... anyway, the moderators can just move this post to any where appropriate.
Thanks,

Yes, this is what it is all about - but you may try TT5555 method - it didn't work on my device but it seems that every device has its own personality

You took my overreacting post very good, sport.
Well, thanks for trying to help people I think this question has been asked over and over again in the ROM thread, so actually you've got a point there.

Thank you so much for posting this. I've tried both methods and they both work. For me, TT555's method is my favorite. What I love about the AmeriCanAndroid build was the resolution.

Actully the original post has the solution long time ago!!
Do you why that happens "check the original post"!!
Mr. AmeriCanAndroid also recommended to set it 1x0, 240 just back to the way it was!!

@kontradictions:
I use this to control the resolution after applying the fix:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wemobs.android.lcdresolution
@hkmate:
I said that I got the solution from the original thread but try to look for it in +17000 posts & tell me how to find it

that fixed that problem, does anyone know how to fix why it doesnt let me send pics thru picture messaging

This was the best and most correct hint here! I tryed at first the first one up there and my resolution was not good. After that I read that one and it´s perfect for me!!! Thank you very much

Hi,
I have applied your fix for LCD Density and Market device compatibility. It is awesome and I thank you. I have struggled with this for last few months!
Now I have changed my HD2 to 800x480 to 160dpi resolution and run Fix Permissions. Then rebooted the phone, cleaned Market cache and settings, run it again, and every application that I could not update before now is compatible with device
I have a problem though. There are artifacts on some gadgets, there is artifact on left side of the status buttons (once I expand status bar). There are artifacts on my on-screen keyboard (button images are different, strange empty gaps, transparencies).
Are there any fixes for these problems?

I did not edit the build.pro and it still works. In my case, ro.sf.lcd_density= in build.pro will be changed automatically according to the lcd_density in startup.txt

EDIT:
It now does work and i have no idea why or what changed ...

Not sure what's going on with my HD2 but I'm no longer able to update basic apps like Google Maps, I get the "not compatible with your device" message. Actually Google Maps wasn't even listed anymore so I set the density to 160 with LCD Density, cleared the cache of Google Play and it's back but I still have that error message. Is Google Maps "gone" for good from our HD2s ?

FolioComb_3.0.1_v0.3a TIPS, PATCHES, BUGS and TRICKS

First of all, I want to thanks Dexter for his work. I made this threade for some help for FolioComb bugs reporting and patches updates.
This rom is awsome!
HONEYCOMB_3.0.1_v0.3a
BUGS and SOLUTIONS:
1. Lots of apps crashes(to fix enter in fastboot "fastboot-w" pr move apps from sd to tablet)
2. Android Market and YouTube apps don't work very well. Market don't have paid and all free apps even after enabling with Market Enabler and YouTube say "video unable to play"
3. When I try to install app from sdcard, app installer shows, but can't press install button(strange bug, only solution is factory reset)
Go here and go to end of page and you'll see list of app that you can and can't unistall(this is for CyanogenMod, but it's smilar to FolioComb and it android too)
4. Camera crashes and if try with another camera app, I get black screen and camera don't activate(blue light near camera)
5. Home button don't work
6. Little laggy(install OC kernel)
7. SOD(with OC kernel)
I'll update list with bugs, solutions and patches.
that's nice of you to create such a thread!
I have all those issues that others have reported so decided to move back to FolioMod... this apps FC issue really is a nasty one, so hopefully your patch can help a lot of ppl here
You don't understand me. I don't make patch, I only put Dexter patches on one place, because it's easier to find them all on one place.

two problem with solution for FC's
Jon2555 said:
I found solution for FC's(I'm not expert and if you don't think this is true, say):
1. After downloading or restoring and installing apps and they don't work(like CPU Master or Angry Birds), install Root Explorer(If someone need it say me)
2. Open it and go to /data/app and find app that don't work and you want to work
3. Long-press and press "extract all"
4. After extracting press "Go to extracte directory"
5. Open app directory and go to lib
6. Copy all files(if there's directory(ies) go inside) and go to /system/lib and past it
7. Exit Root Explorer(reboot if you want or if app don't work), open app and enjoy!
This isn't work for all apps but it shoud(for me works)

I solve ... it's easy :
- some app is into \sdcard\ and we can reserch ( es search : com.rovio and found angry birds.apk )
- if folder is only read in top on root explorer we can change permission ( button r/o)
Any root explorer free clone
I can't move my files and I can't find any file manager that let me do su operations...How come, the android store just look like the app store ! (yeah kinda troll)
More over my birds were free on foliomod and i need to pay now there is only the beta release which is free...looks wierd !
Anyway, I'm still happy cause it is quite smooth after all except for those fc apps...
I've installed application explorer which tells me that angry birds data are in /data/data/ isn't it strange...there's nothing in it...well the gamme fc so maybe it is normal !
angry birds is installed in /mnt/asec, if i managed to move the directory where should i put it ? in /sdcard or /sdcard2 or /sdcard/sdcard-disk0 ?
what is that mess (just like my post ?
search and install applanet by internet then download root explorer. i use this way for try..
I said if need Root Explorer ask me and I'll upload apk via PM

I found /system/lib directory has no more space to past anymore libs.
So how to extend it??(for now, it only has about 250Mb space)

[Q] Swype problem on 3.2

Since updating to 3.2 I have a problem with Swype on the browser. When I type something it auto highlights the last 2 letters of whatever word it is so that when I swype the next word it goes over what was highlighted. It is incredibly annoying.

This seems to be a bug introduced with the newest 3.2 Samsung released. Since I love Swype so much, I rooted my GT just so I could remove the old version of Swype and install the Beta, which I am happy to report does not have this deletion issue!
The quick how-to for removing the pre-installed Swype is as follows:
If you don't already have it, install ES File Explorer
To set up ES File Explorer:
Menu > Settings > Home Directory: change from /sdcard/ to /
Scroll down, check the boxes for Root Explorer and Mount File System
Hit Back
Press the 'Up' icon to get to the root folder
Tap 'System' then 'lib', and find libSwypeCore.so. Long press it, select 'Rename' and change the name to libSwypeCore.so.bak
Tap 'Up' again, and next go to the 'app' folder, find Swype.apk and change it's name to Swype.apk.bak
Exit ES File Explorer and proceed to install the Swype Beta.
Changing the names of the old Swype files to have .bak at the end allows you to easily remove the updated Swype Beta install and restore the old Swype should you ever need to (simply remove the .bak from the file names - it may require a restart to get it working again after restoring these files).

[Request] Stock Galaxy S III SamsungCamera.apk and .odex

Hi guys!
Could someone upload the original SamsungCamera.apk, please? Because when I'm tried to install HX Camera mod, i put the two files into a zip, when the Root Browser crashed. The two files were gone, and the zip became corrupt. After this, i put the mod to system\app. On the first run, it worked, but after a while it crashed. I run the camera again and it crashed after a time, again, and again. So I decided to try the video. And now it doesn't even want to start. So that's why i request the stock camera, and please upload as soon as possible. Thanks.

So, I downloaded this app and I've moved it to /system/app folder and I've tried to install it and it simply says "not installed". I've been searching the net for days now. I've done the following.
1. Root access for Apps and ADB
2. I deleted the CN 9 mod camera app in the /system/app folder (Is there something else that I need to delete?)
3. Installed Busy Box, Astro, ES File Explorer and Easy Installer
4. I successfully installed other stock apps such as S Voice.
I've found similar questions on the net, but no answer. Please help me out!
Set permissions to read write execute / read /read usint root explorer.
Reboot in recovery , wipe cache and dalvik.

Thanks but no dice. I narrowed it down to few possible reasons, all of which I would need help with.
1. Even though, my options say that I'm rooted for "Apps and ADB", I don't think I'm "Fully rooted" as Android Commander still says "no root".
2. I don't have the right drivers. I was told that the "service drivers" are different than the normal USB drivers I get when I plug in my phone and maybe that's why Android Commander might not fully recognize my phone.
3. Permissions. I keep reading about read/write permissions, but maybe the options that I'm looking at is not the same "R/W" in question. I don't know.
4. Everything is correct and I just don't know what I'm doing
So, I realized that the app is a "read only" apk and it wont let me change it's permission in Root Explorer. Is there a way that I can change it? Or does anyone have another SG3 camera apk?
So, after extensive research, it has been reported that particular app doesn't work on custom roms.

U can change it actually in root explorer. At the top right there's R/O, click it so it'll be R/W.. from there u can change its permission. I know this is pretty obvious, but this may help u out. cheers!

[Q] 4.2 GAPPS on EVO 3D

I installed the 4.2 GAPPS on my phone and everything works fine except for the Camera. I am running CM 10 Gangnam Style with Butter Toast 13.1 kernel and photosphere always force closes gallery whenever I try and render the image. It takes the pictures fine but once you tell it to render it just freezes up till it force closes. I read on the huge 4.2 GAPPS forum from XDA setting your system language to English (United States) makes it work but that was already the default setting for me. I don't think that will make any difference when it comes to the issue I'm having.
Also I should note that once it force closes I can't use the camera app at all till I reboot because it keeps saying "cannot connect to camera"
I was able to take one photosphere image the very first time I tried it and since then nothing. I tried different kernels, a complete reinstall of the ROM, GAPPS, and Kernel and things like wiping dalvik and cache. Nothing seems to make the situation any better.
Basically I'm looking to see if anyone is experiencing the same issue or if anyone solved this issue or would know of a way to debug it? I'm working on getting a logcat and will update with that in a few minutes
No issue here, also flashed the gapps, it could be a rom issue, I am using BiParanoid rom(gsm). Have you tried to flash the camera only flashable zip?
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
From recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik..and after that Fix Permissions. There shouldn't be any problems.
EDIT: I had same problems..but this above should solve it..

I just want to throw this out there. On the newer buttered toast kernels there's an easy way to get camera to work on any cm10, aokp, pa rom. Go into your file browser. (Es file explorer preferred) navigate to your system folder, click etc folder. Click the inti d folder. Next click buttered99 file and open it as text file. Type this code just above the echo line near the very bottom. "# camera selection type (rom type) - AOSP MODE" without the parentheses. Next change echo 0 to echo 1 on the line of code just below the one you typed out. Make sure you save the changes before you exit. After saving, back out of the file and change permissions on the file to rwx rwx rwx ( check all the boxes). Delete the buttered99.bak file generated after you change the permissions and reboot. You can make the same changes with anthrax by going to anthrax99 file in the same directories.

I must be doing something wrong? What system folder am I navigating to? Seems all I can see from the file browser is my sd card.
try a different file browser. Like 'root explorer' or 'Solid explorer' from market
Thank you; using solid explorer I was able to navigate there. However I don't have the 99buttered file. Only files I have are 00banner and 90userinit.

now you are looking at the whole phone
6. scroll down and select "system"
7. scroll down and select " build.prop"
it will ask you which program to use. I used the es note editor
NOTE you will be changing the build properties of you rom from sprint values to Cricket values
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE!!!
9. scroll down slowly you will see ro.build.fingerprint=Sprint
delete Sprint and change it to cricket
10. scroll down about 1/2 of the way down and you will see additional build properties
you will be looking for 4 lines
gsm.sim.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)
gsm.sim.operator.numeric=(change to 310016)
gsm.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)
gsm.operator.numeric(change to 310016)
and about 3/4 fof the way down
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=(change to 310016)
back out and SAVE
REBOOT TWICE!!!!!!!!
11. now go into you es file explorer again this time to system
12. select etc
13. scroll down to a file called apns-conf.xml
delete it!
download this one and edit it with your phone number with notepad+ on your computer
edit the second one, not the value 45
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqixefjs829t7jg/apns-conf.xml
put the file on your sd card and copy it to your system/etc folder
REBOOT TWICE!!!
16. using the voice dialer say "open apn"
17. delete the one you see
18. select reset to default
now you should see 2 apns and a little circle beside both
click the circle beside "cricket"
REBOOT TWICE AND WAIT FOR THE SYSTEM TO CATCH UP
download this mms.apk (this is not mine.. i found it for the evo 4g somewhere)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/iq42wk65ifolv8u/Mms.apk
using es file explorer, delete your old mms.apk under system/apps
remember, you have to mount es as root rw every time you reboot
roboot and move the new mms.apk to the system/apps and install
next reboot
go back into es file and (set root rw again)move to the new mms.apk.
long press it and chose permissions.
set your permissions like the screenshot in at the bottom
this has been proven on my evo3d
NOTE. if you are a flashaholic, you will store the mms.apk and the apns-config.xml on your sd card so you can do this with every flash
if this helped you, press the thanks button please!!!
I use cricket and I have never changed the build.prop to get mms working. I change the apn and if it is a jellybean rom the mms.apk.
do you know how to fix mms on htc evo 3d with virgin mobile?

Hi guys and gals. after many attempts, i have working cricket mms on my evo 3d
So... you root and research a good custom rom for you. You flash it, all goes well, it looks cool, feels nice you are on top of the world... (like I was) then you find your mms does not work...
here you go
1. make sure you have es file explorer downloaded
2. open your es file explorer
3. go to settings and select Root settings
4. check all the boxes and grant for superuser
now you are looking at the files on your sd card
5. click the "slash" icon on the top left
now you are looking at the whole phone
6. scroll down and select "system"
7. scroll down and select " build.prop"
it will ask you which program to use. I used the es note editor
NOTE you will be changing the build properties of you rom from sprint values to Cricket values
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE!!!
9. scroll down slowly you will see ro.build.fingerprint=Sprint
delete Sprint and change it to cricket
10. scroll down about 1/2 of the way down and you will see additional build properties

gsm.sim.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)
gsm.sim.operator.numeric=(change to 310016)

and about 3/4 fof the way down
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)

why the hell hasn't more people been to directed to this thread with unbeatable mms problems with cricket just changing apn settings DOES NOT WORK for alot of cricket users.
Edit: guess i shoulda seen that it was done on a evo3d as it didn't work for my evo 4g i shoulda known when two lines were missing from the build prop. as soon as i got to the voice dialer with the apns there were no apns listed and hitting reset to default brough nothing. back to the battery sucking no blue tooth everything cricket rom. Ive tried litterally hundreds of roms and mustve edited apns 1000 times and still cant get mms to work except for one rom.
The mms.apk was found on a evo 4g site somewhere. Maybe there is something else. Or maybe it was a 4g LTE. I don't remember now, but I know it will not work on stock versions of sprint ROMs. I tried.....
