Avatar, File Not Found, Yes I've read other threads - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDA:
I still have the Avatar movie on external sd card, pushed the avatar.apk file to /system/apps, and made sure the proper movie sub directory was copied from an old back up to my internal sd card under the sd card directory. Still getting ' file not found' when click Avatar icon. I can watch the movie using the video player and I'm sure this is something small that I've forgotten, and I researched other threads regarding this issue but cannot find an answer. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. I'm currently running Nero v3. Cheers.

Same issue. I was never able to figure it out so I just use the video player to launch it.

If anyone can shed some light on this it would really be appreciated. I am selling one of my Vibrants as I've just purchased a Nexus S and I'm trying to get this working for them before I ship it. Thanks again

This has to do with the different ways 2.1 and 2.2 name the external sd card - 2.1 calls it "sd" or "sdcard" (can't remember...been a while since 2.1), while 2.2 calls it "external_sd." So, you need the Avatar apk that has the correct name in the movie filepath.
The attached apk's should solve your problem. If you are running a 2.2 rom, then use the one I attached named "Avatar_22." Push it to your system/app just like you were doing before.
Disclaimer: I did not make the 2.2 compatible Avatar shortcut. I had this same issue and found it somewhere on this site, but figured I'd just share the apk instead of trying to search out the original source. If this makes someone mad, let me know and I'll give the proper credit or remove it - whichever you prefer.

Awesome.. Exactly what I needed and I'll give it a whirl once I arrive home from work. Thanks.

Avatar Launcher APK

Can somebody rip the Avatar Launcher APK for me? Not the movie but the application icon that laucnhes it. If you're wondering why I need it. I flashed Bionix and doesn't have it (love the ROM) and I hide the file with .nomedia because I don't like having it in my gallery. Just bothers me. Anyways, thanks.
Edit -- Forgot to mention that I've searched because I know how people like to complain about searching but couldn't find anything. Done using XDA application.

You've deleted the game from your SD card or something has accidentally wiped your SD card. Any time you flash any thing this can happen.
Ok. That makes sense. Why would it show up on the menu if it's not installed?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've had the same issue since, like ever, with both the game and Avatar. As said, it seems we've deleted the contents of the two somehow.
It would be great if someone can upload the missing files though for us to replace it on the memory. It would work as the running program itself can't be removed from Vibrant (or maybe just not on stock roms that is).

i'm confused

I flashed bi-winning (great rom), however avatar is no longer on my phone. this is strange because i've flashed many times and avatar is never effected. this time, however, it is gone, the trailer is still there though. I was thinking it's just hidden somewhere on my sd card, what do you think?
this also happened with the sims 3. i flashed a rom and it dissapeared, although i haven't seen the sims on my phone in a while.
finding avatar and sims
avatar should be in the movie folder of your external SD, the only reason it shouldn't be there is if you switched cards. and check your root folder for the sims 3.apk files, if you don't have it I keep a copy of it just let me know if you want it.
I found avatar. It has a pyv extention for some reason. As far as looking in the root folder. Where is the root folder?

Root is just your sd card. Not in any folder on your sd card.
Like on your computer root = c: NOT c:/anyfolder
legitimate. i always wondered what happened too....
finding root folders
you will need to have rooted your phone, then with root explorer or something similar go to data/app/ and you will see most of your .apk files that you have ever downloaded from the market. sims will be in this one. just run the .apk to reinstall the game. I always manually copy this folder to my external to make it easyer if my backups fail.
Normally when you flash a rom Avatar is still there, you just need to go to video player to watch it because the roms remove the icon for it but not the movie
Great info on the Sims. Thank-you. As far as avatar goes. I've always been able to open the movie through the gallery. Now all I see in the gallery is the trailer. Let me check this stuff out and ill let you know what has worked

Edit: searched through root explorer and the sims is not there, that isn't a big deal. I suppose i could flash a rom where i know ive seen avatar and save it to my sd card from there, again, this isn't a big deal either. I mostly like to pull it up and show people how awesome our screens are.
Update: just flashed back to trigger. Avatar is back. Im not sure what the deal is with this
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm not trying to beat a dead horse but after I flashed trigger I moved avatar to the root of my SD card. It was viewable. I then went back to bi-winning and it was the same story as before. I found avatar but it was not viewable. I think this is rom related.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Its Kernel related. I've tried a bunch of times but for some reason Avatar won't work on the Overstock Kernel

I think it must be rom related. Avater worked for me on bionix 1.3.1, i'm currently watching it on trigger 2.9.2. I'm thinking it might have something to do with 2.2.1 roms, but that is just speculation.

and i'm running the latest overstock kernal, the movie is playing fine. up untill the latest release of Bi-winning this was an issue for me, because i really like that rom, but for some reason the latest update doesn't like my phone that much.

I got my hands on a 4G vibrant it comes with "Inception" and its a .pyv extension the "Avatar" that came with my 3G vibrant is a .dcf extension. Both movies won't play for me unfortunately. Just thought it was weird that the extension was changed(keepin **** locked down!)
For me personally the avatar that came with the phone hasn't played in such along time i can't even remember and i've since replaced it with a mp4 copy along with mp4's of other movies! i.e. i show avatar to some buddies and get a shoulder shrug.... show them jackass3 and its "wow, thats awesome looking!" lol. to each their own i guess. I only keep these originals to check compatibility on ROMS for those on here.

I think replacing with MP4 versions is probably the best way to insure it will play. It's dumb though, samsung and T-mobile include these movies and they restrict them so they can't be copied. I understand the reasoning, i just don't agree with it
Has anyone been able to fix this? Also im on toxic firefly and swype doesnt work correctly either.

Any one have the TWI app. .apk

So I see it's been removed from market. The better one with the mod section. Any one have the apk. Its a free app.

I have it installed on my droid x
I still have the working version installed on my droid x, I do NOT however seem to be able to find the com.enormego.TWI package file using Astro file manager. If one of you can walk me through finding where it is hiding (as the search feature from the primary directory is finding 0 results for anything containing enormego, twi, or com.cnormego.TWI) I would be more than happy to copy the files off my phone and email them to you so we can all share in the awesome drunken debauchery once again!
Thanks for the help in advance.
~EDIT 2012-04-12 0240~
So I finally tracked the apk down right AFTER I posted so I wanted to share it with you guys if by chance you were still hunting for it. Enjoy!

You have 2 options. Use the note2 sdcard swap or install beans rom where you can choose sdswap at default. This puts all your apps on sdcard including google music if I am not mistaken.:good:
