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

Mind sharing the APK you are using and where it's located? I would love to update my myfaves but I can't do it from my phone or online (site keeps giving me an error). Thanks.

We are, but if you're grandfathered in you might still want a functional app.

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. =-)
Ever since I updated WWF after the TW update, I get an error connecting to the servers and can't play any games. I have tried a forced close and clearing cache. anyone else having problems with this? If so, does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks

I had to update in the market place to fix mine. Works perfect now.

I played last night and everything worked great, even got push notifications for the first time. WWF definitely needs a paid version for android to get rid of those annoying adds.
That and I can receive chat messages but I can't send them.

after doing the update from the market, i was able to send messages. I couldn't do anything without it FC or giving me network error message from the version that was loaded with Touchwiz.
How did you guys get the version from the market to update the TW version? When i go out to the Market "Open" is the only option I get.
when you go into settings>applications what version do you have installed? I am running 3.61
Mine shows up as 3.59. Funny thing is that the Market version says 3.61 but "open" is the only option I get.

Try clearing the cache for your market and see if it will come up
Mine is version 3.59 as well.
Same issue when I go to the market.
I just emailed the dev.
When are these adds going to be dealt with?

That did not work for me.
I removed my stock version and installed it again from the market. I pulled and zip the apk. Extract and install from from your sdcard.
I can't try it right now, but I will check it out later. Thanks for taking the time!

Naked, work was blocking the download. After getting impatient I tried logging into the Android market on my PC and forcing an install on my tablet. It worked like a charm! I am now running 3.61. I am testing it now, but I have yet to get an error.

Sweet, glad you got it working. Good idea on doing the web page market and forcing the upgrade. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
I have seen often programs not able to update properly when they are located /system/app. Since the it was part of the upgrade to TW, they have it located there.
The install from Market worked great for me as well.
Never knew you could do that.

TripleTapper, can you please explain more? Now do you "force install" from the market? It just tells me that my Nook Color is incompatible with the app, and the buttons are greyed out.
Thanks.
I just opened the Market using the browser on my PC. When I do that and search for Words for Friends I click on install. It then gives me an option to install onto my various Android devices by selecting it from a pull down. My Galaxy Tab comes up as Samsung GT-P7510.
Words has been working flawlessly now! : )

Thanks. Doesn't work on the Nook, unfortunately.
I can't even load this application. It starts, then immediately goes to a black screen. Have any of you experienced this?
I've cleared data, uninstalled, and pulled battery. Still doesnt work.

Are you using a legitimate copy purchased from the market?....It uses a security check to make sure that you own it on the up & up. If you did purchase it from the market, make sure you're signed into your Google account before you try to open it, so that it can do it's license check. If that doesn't help you, email the developers, they have pretty good support. I've been using the app without issues for a couple of months now.

Glad you got it working. It really makes switching roms a breeze. One piece of advice for you though, take the phone rom "update.zip" and copy it to your computer for safe keeping. It's in /sdcard/bootmanager/phonerom. In the event that you ever have an sd card failure, you need that update.zip to boot back into your phone rom without going through extreme measures to recover your phone.
It is supposed to be released today on all mobile devices at $4.99 US. The photon is one of the supported devices. When it shows up for purchase I will be getting it

Well? how is it?
Hmmm, says its incompatible with all my devices...

Running great on my MoPho and I/O gtab. You can go to the market on you computer and send it to your MoPho , that's what worked for me
photon with cm7
The game started up and downloaded the extra files but now it wont display anything then force closes. I'm running cm7 with the new 1.4 oc kernel. Any ideas?
So i uninstaled and reinstalled the game and works perfect now. I remember the first time downloading the extra files there was an error of some kind. No error on second try tho and works great.
I first had a problem where my internal storage was full but instead of saying so while trying to download the extra files, it just says no internet connection could be found. After clearing up that issue, the extra files downloaded but I am met with a black screen upon running the app. If I press the back button a message appears on the screen asking me press back once more to quit. I restarted my phone and it did not help. I cleared the app data and I'm currently downloading the files again.
Unrooted Stock Photon with all updates.
*Edit* Someone in the below thread said their issues were resolved by installing over wifi instead of 3G, which is what I have been trying. I will try installing over wifi tonight.

I get the same message, it shows my photon twice and the other(older) one shows to be compatible, but doesn't work for install.
I can't find it on the market for mt phone, but inly I find ir and get the same errors about it not being compatible as well.

Nope, used a link to get to the app page in the market and it gives me the same incompatible message.
For whatever it's potentially worth for other problems, I solved my sound issue by simply uninstalling, re-downloading, and reinstalling the game. I assume some file containing the audio quietly failed to get properly downloaded.
if you are using jokers skinnyrev2test2, you wont be able to see it on the market however once you change rom's ( to lets say cm7 ) the market will see it just fine..
I'm trying to listen to my favorite radio station from my childhood, but can only get them on Radio.com. If I listen in the browser window, I can't do anything else on my Nook, as the music stops when I leave the browser window.
Radio.com is available for free in the Market, but Nook Tablets aren't compatible. Does anyone have an APK I could sideload?
Thanks!
10 minutes on Google etc. yielded this link. http://www.umnet.com/download-software/15939-Radiocom_v10_Free
Thanks! I spent quite a bit of time on Google last night, looking for this, and was only able to find it on FirstLoad, but they wanted my credit card information to download it.
Pls let us know if it installs and performs to your liking.
It installed fine and runs, but stops playing after a little while. Not sure yet if it's a connection issue or an app issue. I'm using my wifi at work, which isn't always reliable. I'll know better when I try to use it at home.
I'll update this weekend.
UPDATE: So, I'm thinking it's definitely a connection issue, as it's been playing now for a couple of hours with no hiccups. I'm pleased, because I'd read really horrible things about it. As it's the only game in town for listening to WCBS-FM in NYC, though (and I'm in Albany), I had to try it. Glad I did. Thanks again!
UPDATE 2: 4:00 PM, and still going strong. Awesome!
Does anybody have the apk file available without having to download and install "download manager?"
I didn't have to download that, and I don't even know what it is. Per the instructions at the page listed above, I went to m.umnet.com and entered 615939 in the code field.

Thanks, that took care of it. I transfered to the SD card and installed with Root Explorer (which I use to browse eventhough my NT isn't rooted). When I view files this way, I'm given the option to install. Looking at it through the NT My Files doesn't give an install option.
I got it installed and all it does is force close. 1.4.0 rooted.
Using Tune In Radio and it works well.
