swype and FC issues - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm hoping this won't get me yelled at for posting this here but here goes.
My vibrant came with swype, which I enjoy from time to time. I tried to pull the APK to put on my mytouch which has cm5.0.8 (i use it with a t-mobile prepaid card with barnacle for cheap mifi) and when I install the apk every single running process on the phone FC's (from core processes to setcpu and cmupdater) to the point where I have to wipe and reflash the cm5.0.8 zip.
any suggestions?
thanks!

I have another thread trying to get the droid x skype running on the vibrant as it has the voice icon in it and the vibrants version does not. Bottom line is you cant just install it as an app as you found out. It appears there is more to it then just the apk file. If the person I am working with on this is able to figure it out I will post the results in my thread just search on voice swype or my name

Awesome, what's the thread?

[Q] [REQ] Original Swype from Stock or Vibrant1

Would anyone be willing to pull this for me? Or even better, does someone have this sitting around? I prefer the original look to Swype and am currently using Vibrant5.
Thanks!
I second this, although I'm not home so I can't do it myself lol

It still Posted, Just download it Vibrant1.zip!!! and Likely other Deodex builds as well....
just pull the File & push it into the Phone..
This kills me, everyone is Quick to Post, but not willing to do the work
Honestly though, if you can't use adb, you have no need for a Rooted Phone.. Just my thoughts here....

If I pull Swype from the Vibrant, would I be able to use it on the Nexus as well or would the size not work?
Reason I ask is because my Swype Beta account stopped letting me download since I keep flashing on my old N1 and since it ran out, I'm not able to put Swype on my GF's N1.
Lol like I said, I would have done it already but I don't have access to a computer right now. I'll do it this afternoon and post the .apk for you

I've been switching ROMs a lot, and I ran out of installs. Anything you can do?
Send an email to [email protected] explaining the situation and include the email address you used to register for the beta. We'll be able to reset your download count. In the future, if you're going to be making any more ROM changes, please use Titanium backup (or similar) for the Swype files. This will ensure that the license files remain intact.
I just got a replacement Android device and now I can't install Swype. Help!
Send us an email at [email protected] and we'll assist if we can. Please make sure to include the email address you used to register for the beta, your new phone's IMEI number (look inside the battery compartment) and, if you have it, your old phone's IMEI number.

Thanks! For some reason, when I posted the OP, I had it in my head that I needed to flash Vibrant1 before pulling it. Totally spaced that I could just pull it out of the APK with WinRAR and push it with ADB. Thanks again!
Thanks for the file

[REQ]Myfaves.apk can anyone get it to work?

I seen someone post this question in the Dev section, but I have the apk file, and tried to put it in the system/app, fix permissions and had no luck. Thought someone with more knowledge than myself could get it to work. I know I can operate them from the website, but I like the ability to do it strait from my phone.
Attached is the apk , just need some help to get it to work.
This did work on my G1 with CM 5.0.8 which is an eclair build, but the command I used to get it to work will not work on the vibrant.
I have MyFaves working fine on my Vibrant, it was in one of the Vibrant ROM builds so I just backed it up in Titanium Backup and then when I installed Eugene's Vibrant9 I reinstalled MyFaves and it works. I don't remember whose ROM I took it from so let me try to figure that out because I don't want to post without giving credit. I've just been backing up Apps and Widgets that I like from different ROM builds and installing them on Eugene's Vibrant9, so unfortunately I don't remember which ones came from where but I'll look into it and post once I can give proper credit.
I thought T-mobile was phasing out myfaves

Unless it was altered by a DEV there is no credit to give, the app was created by TMobile, I would love to know where you got it, or just put up the apk, at worst case scenario if you cannot remember and it was altered to work the Dev will say something, but its just a tmoible app, so please post what you got so we can see if it works for the rest of us

I know for me when I use the newest internet explorer, there is a security pop-up that comes up when I go to the myfaves part, if you click yes, that breaks the program, you have to click no everytime you load a page within the myfaves area, I figured that out by accident, but if you click yes, then the page will not load any of the options you have selected. So just click no to the popup at everypage within the myfaves part and it should work for you.
just dont know what to do next
I downloaded your MyFave.apk. Installed it on Samsung Vibrant 2.1 in system/app using root explorer.Then I went over to rom manager and clicked fix permission. after reboot a myfaves icon appeared in my app draw. Heres where it starts to suck. I click the icon and it opens and closes extremely fast and a bubble window at the bottom screen says myfaves is off. Well i dont know how to turn it on. Has anyone else had this happen before... Please help its driving me nuts that I cant figure it out
Deleted. Didnt read the whole thread.
New thoughts to get myfaves.apk working
Sorry if my last post seemed a bit noobish, in all honesty forums are very new to me. Let me go threw what I have done and what I have been thinking might work. Upon my last post I was on 2.1 eclair build, in the recent months I have upgraded to using Team Whiskey products. I am currently on Bionix-v 2.2 build w/ voodoo. Anyways I digress. I can install MyFaves apk with no force closures issues. I have to use root explorer to move to system/app and manually change permissions to rw-r-r then reboot. Icon will appear in app draw. upon clicking the icon I get a myfaves off notice (below is a picture) again no force closes thou. So I have attempted to refresh myfaves from tmobile website hoping that would turn myfaves on. I have observed thou that it says will only work for compatable phones. As mine for example never refreshed. Now heres my thought
What if we change the build.prop to reflect a myfaves compatable phone? Does anyone think this would trick the myfaves server into refreshing my myfaves contacts? I also have noticed that there is 3 differnt size my faves apk roaming around the web and different sites. The one that worked for me to get this far will also be posted below. It was the smallest size apk available and NOT THE ONE POSTED HERE ORGINALLY.
Well if anyone has any insite on this my ears are open. For some reason this is a lil project of mine that I keep coming back to and still quite cant let go.
Again sorry for previous post, and if there is another thread I should post this in please let me know also.
Maybe together we can give this project new life!
Following this thread. I have a Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant) and MyFaves on my Grandfathered plan; would love to get this app working.

This is not MyFaves, it's just a favorites manager.
A functioning app would be great. I am tempted just to change the build prop but I don't know what adverse effects that would have on the phone. If any one wants to test it out I can tell you how to do it.

Well, I tried copying the file to my sdcard and tried to install it... it failed.
I tried to copy it to my system/apps folder and I get an "Insufficient Perminssion!" message.
I'm using the OTA updated ROM T-Mo pushed out like 9 months ago for my Mytouch Slide... non-rooted.
So, I guess I need to be rooted... to try again.
Thank you. This is so *****in'. I am stoked that it works. Nice update from the MyFaves.apk I had that did no longer work. =-)

[REQ] - T-Mobile VVM (Visual Voice Mail) APK

So, I flashed Eugene's latest JPM Froyo and while I backed up my "user apps", for whatever reason that didn't include TMO's VVM. Anyone have the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail APK? Usually it's available in the market.
However, on this rom it doesn't seem to be available there. I also didn't see it posted anywhere here on XDA and I'm not aware of any rom which I could pull it from.
Can someone post it?
Thanks in advance!
Here it is...

updated version?
It appears to be the latest. Eugene provided it. Thanks go to him! I'm also not showing an update in the market now like I was after having an earlier version from an old backup.
Yeah, thanks for posting it, it's not in the market after the new official MyTouch 3G 2.2 update, either!
T-Mobile Visual Voicemail seems to be totally taken off from market!
Hi
As it seems, After a sudden update yesterday, T-Mobile (USA) have taken Visual voicemail off of the Market entirely! I kinda became very dependent on it! But thanks to the Gentleman/Lady for posting it here!
Thanks
Man, thanks a lot!!! I was searching for this since my G2 doesn't come with it.

That link does not work on my G2. Is there anyone who had success with that link? I had that voicemail app on my 1st G2 I had sent back. Why would T-Mobile take ths app down???
Latest VVM apk
Here's the latest version of the TMO VVM application. If you have the original version installed, remove it first before installing this one or the install will fail.
Thanks...how do you install this?
I have the Visionary root app installed.
Thanks for any help!
@cbbyers: Thanks..totally new. Is this for G2?
Downloaded the above apk and it did NOT work on my g2.. installed app and started it and started it up and got message unable to authorize purchase.... my marketplace works fine... seems like this app has been DISABLED by tmobile?
Just curious, does this app do something bette than Google Voice?
Thanks looks great..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Not sure if this works on the G2, but it's the official updated version of VVM released by TMO a few weeks back which works with wifi enabled. I have the Mytouch 3g Slide and this version works fine. I was unable to locate it in the market and assumed that was due to running CM 6.1.
For those of us who are on FlexPay, I don't think T-Mobile allows us to change our voicemail provider; at least they didn't the last time I tried.
If it's not working, make sure you have your line provisioned by T-Mobile for Visual Voicemail (it's free). I had it on my myTouch3G 1.2 before and it worked immediately after download, when they updated it though it checked for the provisioning and would return an "unauthorized" error.
I just downloaded this one since the market one is AWOL again and it seems to be working fine on my G2.
Works fine on my G2. I installed tmo-vvm-1-2-19.apk version.

Here is how you install it.
1. Download the apk file (tmo-vvm-1-2-19.apk) and save it on your SD card.
2. From Android market, download and install App Installer
3. Launch App Installer and it will detect the apk file you have in your SD card
4. Select the apk file and it will install tmobile VVM on your G2 phone
Cannot download
(My post applies to the G2, should have probably posted under G2 in thread 819103 but noticed this only after the fact)
As far as I can tell the app is working (just did one quick test so far).
I was also on a support chat w/ TMO and here's the relevant info from that:
^ Karel F: There will be a update sent coming soon I do not have the effective date on this but it will be soon.
^ Karel F: We have to finish the test run to make sure the update works first then it will be pushed out to all of the devices.
Me: so is this an update to phone SW or the VVM app you're talking about?
^ Karel F: For both.
^ Karel F: This is a system update for all of the devices.
^ Karel F: This is to also fix some other problems that the device has as well.
Me: So in the meantime no TMO VVM?
^ Karel F: Yes I do apologize about that I did add it to the account so when the update comes to the device it will download automatically.
Voicemail notifications don't work for me. I need to do a manual sync form the app to get voicemails. Anyone else also having this issue?

[Q] Using stock android apps

Is there anyway to use the stock (or even the cyanogen modded) stock apps on the DroidX2. I've already tried copying them over to system/app and correcting permissions and even with a reboot, they don't show up.
Does anyone have any suggestions? In particular the stock sms/mms app and the stock calendar application.
Thanks so much
Marshall
the motoblur framework is what ****s it all up
Can't wait to get rid of that crap framework with a custom rom.
I really want custom roms... Like yesterday. Lol

We all want custom roms, it be nice, but we need an unlocked bootloader and i have yet to hear of anyone actively working on one for the DX2, so for now we are stuck ..
god i miss my Nexus S
I'm sure once we see an OTA update, we'll have a better chance at unlocking the bastage. At least we have a leaked SBF file to help with those who have bricked. There's more incentive to hacking.
I just downloaded the extended version of the mms app from
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/15/download-new-mms-apk-with-custom-settings/
So far, it seems to work other then force closing when trying to change the font size... Hopefully It'll keep on working. It isn't the latest version that comes with cyano 7 but it'll do.
Next is trying to get the extended setting version of the dialer. I think thats going to be much harder to do
Note - The messaging app does work, but it force closes everytime you send a message out, although it does send the message out. DAMN BLUR!
I use a sms/MMS app that I took from a custom ROM about a year ago. I can't stand the MOTOBLUR sms/mms app, and this one looms more like the OG Droid app.

Hi, can you explain how you did that? I tried the one off of the current cyanogenmod 7 and it didn't work, and I tried a much earlier version I found on here, but it would force close after each message it sent.
The good news is that it looks like someone has gotten a custom recovery put on their x2 so developer progress is moving forward.

Which stock apps were you referring to ? You should be able to install to /system as long as you change the package name.

I had initially installed the program from my SD card, and that worked fine for the most part. It wasn't until about a week or so ago that it started giving me problems. I finally figured out to actually copy my MMS.apk to the system/app folder and then set the permissions to rw-r-r and then rebooted. This has worked for my X² and my husband's X and now both phones are working beautifully. I used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze the stock Text Messaging so that I don't get duplicate messages.

I got the android default dock app, and the extended messaging app working by taking it from cyanogenmod 6.something
The name of the blur text messaging app is called conversations.apk (took me forever to figure that out... ****ing motorola)
I"m debating about replacing the car dock application.... there are some nice things in the blur version.
What about the default Android Market app??? Has anybody tried that?? I don't want to have to see the verizon crap in my market.... I will try and pull it from a CM rom I have from back in the day, I think its 6 also... and give it a try but any help to point me in the right direction to make this work would be nice...

ANSWERED!Q&a about miui and eclipse v2.2

I am running a Milestone X2 and up until recently have had no wifi on any custom rom. Since the new soak test Eclipse v2.2 uses the new /418 kernal and now wifi works. Is it possible to take this and move it to MIUI?
No & miui update is stalled big time.
skwoodwiva, thank you for such an easy answer. I love MIUI it is my favorate ROM, but I would like wifi to work .
eclipse mms?
What's up people, quick question about the eclipse2.2 on milestone x2. However first allow me to respect XDA community, I've been though alot in the background with you guys. Then respect to Nitro for eclipse, it's amazing! My question is about the mms on the 2.2, will there be an update to fix it or is it a sacrafice I'm gonna have to eat? This is the first Rom I have 'noobly' been able to use and if I have to give up sending pics or long messages I'll do it before I go back to slow, laggy stock. I did read that it wouldn't work but then I read people's replies that they have no problems. I could've done something off with the install but everything else works perfectly. Thanks to anyone with feedback or help, it's truly appreciated!
Yes, unfortunately MMS will not work if you are not with Verizon. Nitro uses Verizon's basebase information and strips other stuff so that data can work. This does not work for me so I have no idea how to actually make it work. I have nTelos Wireless which is a small carrier based out of VA and my MMS does not work.
I hope this helps.
I am also on NTelos in Norfolk,VA, so no hope for us huh? Well that blows. I've had so many stressful nights thinking I've lost my phone doing all this flashing so I'm trying to be content, but I've read so many posts and you guys always get me out of whatever grave I dig. I think now that I have the sbf process down I might try for CM7 or miui tonight. Thanks for the confirmation twobrare, I've read allot of your posts too so I def believe you.

Ok, I too have ntelos in lynchburg, luckily there was a guy in a phone store that hooked me up for 10$then I still had to use gosmspro for the pix to send properly. He told me he spent months to find what he found online, but he found it...online. he also password protected it so when I transferred the custom app that I bought off him it won't install when I put it back on the SD card. Through my backups that I moved from my computer was the only way to get it to work TB will no longer back up and restore the app. Any sugestionsto get the mms working would be great. Or if someone could tell me how to pull the info off of a phone I still have my desirefrom ntelos. I would post here if I found a fix...thanx.

I found an easier solution for the mms fix, and it's really easy if your on the evo 4g. Download the reloaded.44 magnum ROM somehow it has the right apks or something to get the mms to work right off the bat you don't need to do anything else. But if your like me, you still flash. So, download 4 shared on the market (free) search for, apn manager ,download to phone, go into apn manager and hurt the backup button, it creates a file on your sd card and saves it there, flash another ROM you like, again ,4shared, apn manager, open apn manager hit the restore button only, done. Works every time for me, good luck.
