Has anyone figured out how to get the droid eris to work with app inventor? From what I've heard everyone's having a lot of trouble with it. I'm on a mac, btw, and I've been mounting the phone as a disk drive with no success.
I just sent my request for an invite yesterday, so obviously have not heard back yet. I don't think there are many that have gotten theirs yet either... Just for fun, I did install the appinventor-extras and it did recognize my phone, so I hope that's a good start. Running Windows 7 32bit.
Do you have a Droid Eris as well? And yah, I think it has something to do with running it on a mac because it isn't compatible with HTC Sync which contains most of the drivers I need.
Have an Eris but do not have Sync set up. Already had adb installed so probably just used the the ones that were already added in.
When I get my invite I will get it to work with the Droid Eris. Btw, if you're on a mac, ubuntu works really well dual booted, if thats your thing.
Does anyone know the extent of apps that you can make with this thing? Like, how complicated are we going to be able to get? I'd love to make a mashup of my favorite home replacements...

Yah, it's surprisingly in depth actually. So far, I've noticed there's a function which can force a text, an "activity starter" (which allows you to open apps on the phone), and basic textbox and image components, to name a few.
just got my invite about an hour and a half ago and I still cant get my phone to connect to app inventor... I tried using the custom .inf and that didnt work. it wouldnt even recognize it. i am going to use the emulator for now.
if anyone finds a working driver please upload it.
I have a question to anyone who has access to app inventor. Does anyone else's phone reboot when loading an app onto it? Also in google chrome every time I open the blocks editor it makes me download a new jar file.
AcidRoot, It's normal to download the file everytime. And I don't have problems with my Eris rebooting, but mine doesn't work with AppInventor (I was invited).
Last night I downloaded the update for my Atrix and while for the most part i enjoy the new looks and such, however now among other things none of my music files will play, which are mp3 files, even ones I had previously downloaded, says this file type isn't supported on the phone, and I cannot get pandora or any streaming music player to work, it loads up like its going to start then says it can't connect to the servers or just stays stuck loading.
I previously had my phone rooted with gingerbreak, so I don't know if that caused any problems, but any help could on how i can fix this because I honestly have no idea what the problem is, because even the new AT&T music player for internet radio doesn't load the music.
Is it possible for me to uninstall the update or do I have to unroot my phone? I'm quite frustrated at this point because I've tried changing settings and tried to download different music players all to no avail.
In my sig there is an app called build.prop editor. Have to be rooted. Open app 1. Click open build.prop
2. Tap build.prop and look for the files that say stagefright.xxx.xxx. change false to true. Save and reboot.
Mot.stagefright.xxx
Or its ro.stagefright.xxx
Change all the ones with the words stagefright to true
I have cm7 now so I don't have those files to tell you the correct full filename
I'm looking at staying on Froyo on my Bell Atrix more and more as each day goes by.
GB on the Atrix seems like more of a headache than its worth...

I downloaded the app, however when I try to backup it says failed, and then when I tried to click on build.prop, it also says its failed.
I also found out now that I cannot watch youtube on my phone either.
So i'm back at square one it seems. Is there any other solutions that you or anybody may know of or am i stuck doing a factory reset?
When you open the app does it ask for superuser permission? If it doesn't then you have a root issue.

Not at all, If you know what your doing its great. 90% of the issues with gingerbread are caused by the user.

No it didn't ask for superuser permissions which i did think was weird. I had originally used GingerBreak to root my phone and other things had asked for it but your program didn't.
Do you have any suggestions on how/what i should do next? Try re running gingerbreak? factore reset?
also i appreciate the help thus far
No gingerbreak wont work on gingerbread.

How to retain/regain root going from 2.2.2 to 2.3.4
When the last OTA update came out I used the before and after update batch files method that I found here - running the before update then just installed it and ran the afterupdate.bat and I was done. I am now rooted with system v4.1.83 Android v2.2.2 and started getting the update messages.
Usually I wait until one of the devs here has a successful tested method and posts instructions / follow them and donate to whoever I was helped by but haven't found anywhere in the threads that describes exactly how to do this. Is there a new method for handling this out yet? Thanks -gs
I've got a DROID x2 rooted with eclipse 1.3 installed. Usually once a week I get to a point where the market app wont let me access anything. All it says is "no connection" this is with WiFi on and the WiFi works fine as I can browse the web and use all other internet connected apparently.
Usually uninstalling the market updates remedies this, but yesterday I opened the market app and got this same problem. After uninStalling the updates, the whole Apk, rebooting, installing different market versions, and all kinds of combinations of those things, thE market STILL WON'T WORK!!!!!
can anyone help? I'd really appreciate it!

Ok, Let's see.
Uninstalling the market app updates is not really the resolve to fix this.
What was the path you took to get on the eclipse rom? (previous build etc)
When did you first notice it do this?
You mentioned that it occured with Wifi on. Does this happen without the wifi?
I would clear the market data and cache. If that don't work I would do a factory reset. That usually fixes most issues.

Yes this error occurs with WiFi off, but at that point there really is no connection as my phone has a bad esn and I keep airplane mode on permanately.
To flash eclipse I and restored from stock 2.3.5 then I rooted using psouza's one click root and then I installed bootstrap recovery and flashed the eclipse 1.3 zip file with bootstrap

Because when you clear the data it clears the cache. Did you do a factory reset?

Ive had a similar situation happen where occasionally I cant download anything on my phone and on my Moms phone. I dont mess with uninstalling updates or anything. When this happens... I just clear cache, Force close and restart the phone and most of the time it fixes it for whatever reason.
I have the same problem. I know it stems from having 2 copies of my Droid X2 listed in the Android Market. I cleared cache, even reinstalled OS rooted and unrooted and it is still the same. There is another theory is that if you have Amazon App store there is a conflict with authentication of some apps they have in common. I even have App Brain and it will not do a batch install, all it does is tell me what apps are out of date and one by one install the update from the market. It had better be fixed soon. I know this is a market issue with not my or my phone's fault. My Xoom updates fine, so does my Droid X1.
And how come there are NO custom ROMS for the Droid X2?

What? Have you actually looked or are you assuming this? There are custom ROMs for the X2 and they've been around for months:
Eclipse
Liberty3
Molten
Go to the Android X2 Development Forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1175 and you'll see more ROMs in there, but the three I listed are the most popular.

I believe you can change the build prop for market to 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.5 I believe ibolski has afix in eclipse thread.
I would ask nitro, the ROM developer.
I have had problems with certain apps not being compatible but now I just back them up in titanium and restore from there.

I have a Moto Droid X2 using GB 2.3.5 and Eclipse 2.2.1 ROM with Verizon Wireless in the USA. For the life of me I cannot figure this one out...
When I receive emails from EastBay.com or HomeRunMonkey.com they generally display correctly on my X2. However they also sends advertisement emails and both use a 3rd-party company, mybuys.com. Whenever I receive emails that are advertisements, the images are blocked. I checked Google and MyVerizon and nothing is showing as being blocked. So, if I try to click the link in the email that says if you cannot see the images, click here, my native browser opens but it errors out as if I have no active internet connection. I've even tried Opera Browser and the URL still fails. If I try to open the same email message on my PC using Gmail or on my HP TouchPad, the email displays correctly and the URL also works in all browsers. The best I can determine is Verizon Wireless is blocking this company. I'm guessing this because if I tether my TouchPad to my X2 using FoxFi then the same negative results occur - I cannot see the images in the email or browse to the URL in any browser.
Can someone with a Droid X2 on VZW please try the URLs below and let me know if it works?
http://w.p.mybuys.com/mfs/EASTBAY/201207022309/4662402/46624026764.html
http://w.p.mybuys.com/mfs/HOMERUNMONKEY/201207032150/4664783/46647836937.html
I have no idea what else I can try other than calling VZW but I'm apprehensive to do so in fear they tell me to go to a store and when I get there they see my Rooted and Eclipse ROM'd X2 and refuse to help me.
Any suggestions at all are most welcome.
Thanks!
P.S. I did make sure in Gmail the sender is always set to display images, also added their email address to my address book, made sure there were no filters, etc., but I seriously doubt Gmail is the issue.
So I just forwarded the email to my work account and on my work laptop everything displays correctly but if I view the same work email on my Droid X2, I still cannot see any images. I have to conclude either something on the phone itself is the issue or it is VZW blocking access to the site that supplies the external images.
That url doesn't work for me using eclipse and dolphin hd.

Thanks for checking and just to confirm, you too are on VZW? I'm in Southern NJ, what region are you?
I haven't had that particular problem but I do use my phone to make a hotspot and watch hulu and just the internet from my phone seems to be blocking the commercials cause it works fine on my home connection. I'll let you know if I find a setting to fix it but so far its not looking like something I did

Ok, so did the URLs in my OP work or not work for you? Are you on stock or a particular ROM? I've looked for settings too but came up empty. Thanks for checking...

Ok, sorry to be a PitA - they opened on your phone in the native browser? Yes, both sites are sporting goods and sporting apparel. And just to confirm, are you on Verizon Wireless and are you rooted/custom ROM or totally stock? I'm trying to see if the Eclipse ROM in any was has bearing on this and want to rule it out if possible. Thanks.
UGH! My VZW Blocking theory is starting to crumble...
I just tested those links on a Droid X (I know it's not an X2) and the emails from my gmail account and the website links all worked perfectly. That Droid X is on VZW, same region as me, but is unrooted and on the stock ROM. I'm now wondering if Eclipse might be the issue. I guess I need to get Nitro involved for some help...

I would agree that eclipse is the problem. I was on stock cause I couldn't get the download for cm9 alpha 4 to work. I went to eclipse about an hour ago and tried those links again and they immediately go to failed load page. Before they did just open in my native browser

I was starting to lean that way too and just sent Nitro a message asking for help. Maybe he can isolate the issue and fix it. Thanks for confirming - most appreciated.

No problem homie
first time I ever heard any one complaining their adverts are blocked, lol.
So, you are upset because (you are assuming) the rom is blocking spam/advertsing?
If I could block every single ad I would, I cant get enough of ad-block.
Gl hope you get what you want working working though.
I know it sounds crazy and generally I agree with you but in this case they are legit ads that I read to keep up on deals for my son who plays baseball. It just so happens I discovered something in the ROM was preventing me from accessing the URLs.

what was it?
please post up what ya found!
I emailed nitro to look into it. But so far ive determined with help from others is Verizon is not blocking anything and a stock droud x or x2 CAN access the URLs but the Eclipse ROM for the X2 cannot. Whatever is the root cause I do not know so that is why I emailed nitro. I even determined that while my hp Touchpad CAN see the images in gmail and access the URLs from any browser the minute I Tether it to my X2 images in gmail wont load and the urls fail in any browser. The x2 fails whether 3g or wifi.

After flashing Eclipse 2.3 the "broken URL" issue I originally discovered and reported now appears to be resolved.

Hi, I've seen some other folks posting that they've got this (installing MotoCast on a Droid RAZR MAXX HD) working for them, but I cannot get any answers. I've downloaded the MotoCast.apk,made sure my phone was set to allow installation of non-market sources, and it just wont install. I've included a few screenshots so you can see what Im trying to do, in this particular order, to get MotoCast installed. On a side note, my phone is NOT rooted. Does it have to be rooted in order for this to work? I'd surely appreciate anyone who can give me some direction here. Thanks

I was the one who uploaded the motocast APK in the other thread. I wanted to confirm that you DO NOT have to be rooted, I was able to install the app just like any other normal app.... did not need to move it to the system director or anything, just downloaded the apk and installed it.
Not sure why you are having a problem, I'll keep thinking, let you know if I come up with something.
