[Q] ApkTor --> com.android.launcher 2.2 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I was browsing apps on ApkTor and found that in the updates thumbnails, there's an update available for com.android.launcher v2.2.
Did anyone try to install this? I know it's not a full update for 2.2 OS, but I really feel like pressing on the shiny button, but I do not want to brick my phone. I"m at work and do not have my USB cable handy.
...really want to push the button now
...must refrain from pushing the button, need. phone. to. work. all. day.
Thanks!

Can't see it on mine. What repositories do you have? I only have blackdroid.

I'll post the links as soon as I get home. I just googled for a list and added them. I have maybe 1/2 a dozen of them.
Sent from my X10a using Tapatalk

It will just say this application cannot be installed on this device, just like any app made for 2.1/2.2. I wish it was that easy!

I wonder what happends if we use "root manager"; copy all android 2.2 files from another android phone aka nexus one; paste all those files on the xperia x10 (replacing the old 1.6 files) with root manager of course and see what happends lol

Big yellow exclamation mark will greet you from the phone screen saying " you think you can fool me with those files you added ? Ha! Brick ! Lets see whose smarter now . "
No offence ...

[Q] Rooting contact issue

Hi.
First, great job for the root tool.
Then, I updated my X10i to r2ba026. But since, I can see the list of my contacts but I can't show them. One click do nothing, and a long press on a contact and clicking on showing throw an android.process.acore error.
Any idea how to solve it please ?
Thanks.
Can that being linked to the fact I deleted Timescape ?

Yes, don't delete Timescape.
Any tip for me how to restore it ? Don't have a backup ...
Sent from my X10i which rule !
I think there's a way but I'm not exactly the best person for advice because I am a bit of a beginner.. but il try explain according to my knowledge..
Something like..
Getting hold of timescape.apk and .odex copy (which I might possibly have on my laptop)
Then using some adb commands to push the file back on to system and I gues instal it.. don't know the commands but I'm sure if you search for it ul come across something useful.
Hope its of some use!!

Here you are
I have created small script which will do it for you
1) download the zip file
2) unzip it
3) connect phone to pc(do not forget to have debug mode turned on)
4) run runme script
should be done, phone will restart automaticaly
if some error occur, paste it here

Using a third party contact app, such as acontact, nullifies the issue. You can do without timescape!

Yep. I'll second this. Any third-party phonebook/contact app should do. I've tried aContacts and Phonebook 2.0, and both work beautifully without Timescape installed. And they're both more feature-rich than the default phonebook.
Have ya tried quickcall by userscreen networks? (in market)
doesn't really show field labels but I guess thats the whole point of quick call.. has drop down arrow which shows contact numbers for easy calling.. looks pretty neat too!!

SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 Android

Hi all
Has anybody got this on their gt540 yet?
Ive been reading about spb shell for a while now but there still doesn't seem to be a release date set as its still in beta.
In the vid it says it doesn't work on all phone but has been tested on the samsung vibrant - check it out here
p.s I cant post links but heres the title for the youtube vid search
SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 for Android Beta Download
So far im having compatability problems, running on 2.3.3 rom but in another vid a guy has it running pretty smooth on the gt540.
Hi, yeah i tried to test it too when i had Froyo 2.2.1 running but with no luck , i just reveiced a pop up message saying that my phone is not compatible ... but i will try to test it again on CM7 v1.5 2.3.3, i will let you know how it goes.
Cheers!

Yes has sence , this phone is not that powerfull for support this launcher
i dont think it to do with how powerfull it is i think the developers have made for a few handsets from low spec to high spec ones to get an idea of what needs done to support all handsets.
Sent from my GT540 using XDA Premium App
I finally got this running after alot of playing and boy does it eat battery,
Only problem now is I still have to reactivate it again after opening certain apps like the browser.
By the time that they fully release this many other launchers would have caught up and the device not supported message would be cracked for most phones so they wont get the asking price they deserve lol

What i did was choose it as the default launcher then rebooted and reactived it again,
I cant upload the apk's as there just over 8mb but you can google for them, theres 2 versions i found (full version) and (cracked version)
The "device not supported" message will always appear so just click ok
maybe someone with more knoledge than me can tweek it to work better but for me but if you dont mind having to reactive it again after you use a system app like the browser it fine
hey its now available on the market, the full finished version not the beta
Its now called SPB shell 3D and is a bit expensive but im sure many of you can get it free from other sources

anyone got a cracked version plz pm me i really like it
19$ im not mad to pay dat much for an app
You aren't gonna steal a car because you think it is too expensive, are you!!
Think about that when you download a app from internet....

It was released.

Like I mentioned in my post(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975239) a few weeks back, the home seems to load in background. It might just be a compatibility check that is preventing installation.
Anybody wants to shell the 15$ and give it a ride before others buy?

Thanks for the info Kenn! So if we don't want to wait for the worldwide release, is it okay to just use one of the downloads you provided? Will it just install over my current market, or will I run into some problems?
Keeping us Atrix users up to date and informed. kennethpenn is the man!

its not your signal, it wont even download for me over verizon mifi. the download just sits there with "downloading..." nogo.
I got my Evernote download to finish after several tries, and even downloaded a couple games. I'm not sure, but someone who hasn't updated yet should test their market right now. Could there just be an overload due to a bunch of people rushing to try the new market?

Just some clarification - I couldn't use the Sideloading Wonder Machine to install this as it is already installed on my phone, so to get it to install, just push it to the phone or put it on the SD Card (internal or external), and use a file explorer to install it. It will ask if you want to install over the existing app, and obviously you want to.
Works like a charm! And by charm, I mean slow as crap right now, but that's cool, it's not even supposed to be out yet.... Thanks Kenn!

Once the old market is installed, and you run it does it autmatically update them to the new market again?
And also you should link to the original dev.

You can also stop the market updating itself by opening up terminal and typing:
su -
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
You will get a message to say its been disabled. I usually just use route explorer to move a copy of the old market (vending.apk) to system/apps and set permissions, run terminal with the above command and voila! Must say though, it will be nice to see how this installer works, especially if it cuts down on excess finger tapping..
I've never been able to use any of the new markets, its awful. Not sure if there's any weird issues with the internet around here but it was so hard to get anything installed. It could take 20 mins to install a single app, I could have configured my whole phone from scratch in that time!
Good work!

Haha yeah i know what you mean, i had a few problems with some of the new versions as well, just like that but with mine it would never actually install. It would finish the download then say it was corrupt and could not install. Or something along those lines. But the newest one seems to work for me now. The only reason i want an old market is for the old theme of it.
Cheers for the info tho, ill have a look, havent installed this yet, just finished putting Flame.E 0.2 on my mimmi.

But isn't ICS supposed to support all android devices, no matter what size shape or colour lol (correct me if im wrong about this). If that is true then it must be something else that is cause it to be slow? i mean that to me makes sense i dont know about anyone else.
