google music fc issue

Tried installing google music from market and get cc. Tried clearing cache and dads. No luck. Running snowball from yesterday morning. Any other ideas? When I ran zergy, it worked fine.
Book tablet rooted with snowball. Mod.
I have the same issue, it´s probably one of the CM7 librarys that corresponds with the actual system rom which causes the google music error.
Do you know if there is a solution? Old version etc...?
Did you try moving it from data/app to system/app and fixing permissions?
Any update on this? Its the only issue I am having. The app opens fine for me but FC's when I try to play a song. Like OP said, Music worked under indirect's method but not under snowball.

lavero.burgos ,
I am not sure how to do move it. Are there installed files to move or do you move the .apk and then install from the other location?
Thanks,
Jeff

Just a move of the apk its like "cut & paste" nothing else once pasted you can reboot if you want don't think its necessary and check if it still FC. Report back.
Use root explorer or ES file explorer to move it to /system/app/ you need to change to r/w (read and write) instead of r/o then you can successfuly paste the .apk

My data/app folder is empty. I don't find the musicc apk anywhere as I look around anywhere else including sys/app. Sorry, apparently I am lame.
I tried moving it from data/app to system/app and fixing permissions, still getting FC's on trying to play a song. Any other suggestions?

If you have FCs on your phone, try to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode first.
To install apps, you do not need to copy the files into special folders.
Just click the apk file and select install.
The app will install from apk file automatically, if there is no "old" version installed and all required things (access, other apps, phone model, etc.) are available.
If you are not sure about installed apps, just check in settings menu: Settings > Applications.
Or use an app like Titanium Backup to manage your apps (+ app data).
oh please, im not a noob, i know how to install apks, i need to pre include them in my rom,
certain apks, for example "ChatOn", when i install it normaly it will work with no problem,
but when i put it in system/app it will force close when i first start the phone
the same goes with data/app

[Q] stock browser change

Hi, can you please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?
You see, using Root Explorer, I was able to remove the browser.apk (by moving to sd card) from /system/app, then got a quickics.apk, renamed it as browser.apk, then placed it unto /system/app, then changed the permission accordingly...
When I rebooted the phone, Android Starting App occurs but when I tap it to open, it force closes on me...
What am I doing wrong? or for that matter, is what I did or intention possible?

yes.. I am on ICS custom rom.. i just happen to like the quick ics browser more than the browser included in the custom rom.. thus I did that...
when I just left the stock browser and installed quick, there was no problem.. the problem just occurred when I tried replacing the stock browser...
i know this is not really "life or death" for me but for some reason, it just bothers me to have an app in my app list that I do not use... hehehe
Buddy dont replace the browser.apk just delete it and put quickics.apk on system/app with proper permission. Restart your device.hope it will work

No just copy it, fix permissions in root explorer and reboot. But don't rename it to browser.apk. Reboot and normally it should work?!
Hmm okay that's strange, are you using the latest version? Maybe delete it again, download it from playstore, install it and make it to a system app using titanium backup (there should be an option on titanium backup if the app is installed). Look if that maybe solves the problem
You should not replace the stock android browser.apk as it is integrated into the system and removing it or replacing it will probably result in force closures and your system might become unstable.
Just add the quickics.apk reboot into clockworkmod and select advanced and select fix permissions. No need to change permissions via root explorer if you have clockworkmod.
And Press thanks if I've helped you!

not working on both accounts... still having FC...
i am giving thanks to all those who replied to me though...
If it works as a non system app in your phone then it should work perfectly normal as a system app provided the permissions are set right and the stock browser isn't removed . I don't know where you are going wrong
Just to be correct about the permission part, The permission has to be set as ,
User rw-
Group r--
Others r--
hit thanks if I've helped!

Go to manage apps>all>angrygps and clear data, force stop and reboot.
???
ok i force stopped it but it says there is no data like at all :/
edit: didnt work still FCs maybe i did something wrong?
OK its possible that is a bad copy or something, try this one
http://db.tt/Bo8wgvJz
Move it to /system/app
Fix permissions to
rw-r--r--
Or
644
Or
x x -
x - -
x - -
Its all the same, then reboot
???
I use LbsTestMode. To have access to it (it's hidden) install the launch app. No need to push them to system, install like a normal apk. Works well on JB and have some more functions than AngryGPS.
cool!!

copy from zip /system/app and paste in your phone's internal memory, /system/app(here). then set permissions and reboot.

Ice_Cream_Pureness_build_14_Service_Pack_1.zip << this zip?

Xperia_Ice_Cream_Pureness_build_14.00 << this?
Which one?
if SP1 have home apk than use that. it must be.
but other way if its not then use from rom zip (b14)
thank for help.:good:
i have the same problem but i figured it out already.
in the drawer, sort by own order. then touch the square button at the left of the sort button.
after that touch and hold any application on the first page and move it to the next page.
you will see that an application will move up from below.
it seems that in the drawer there is 5 row of application exist but only 4 row are visible.
i think its the launcher problem.
