Hello all,
First off, thanks to everyone involved in the creation of this awesome ROM for the Streak. Finally a stable Gingerbread ROM for the Streak!
Now, on to the issue. Having finally been convinced to try out the Firefox Sync feature again (the first time it well and truly failed) I had set up my desktop and installed Firefox for Android via the App Market. Then, lo and behold, upon starting it up rather than the standard Google start screen I was expecting the entirety of the text on the app was replaced with a large selection of random symbols rather than the standard Latin alphabet. This, obviously, has rendered the application rather useless to me. I can confirm, through the languages screen (reached via random stabs at keys on the option menu), that only Latin characters are affected with the other alphabets seemingly untroubled.
Can anyone suggest what the problem is or how it may be fixed?
I'm getting that same issue. It has something to do with Firefox detecting region and language upon first time opening. I'm pretty sure it can be fixed thru build.prop and changing region but since I'm not familiar with any of that maybe someone else can help us. Instead of Firefox I'm using opera n dolphin hd but I really wanna try firefox

This is caused by the font used in GingerStreak 2.4.4 and it was mentioned by Steve, that he wouldn't change it since only Firefox seems affected.
2.4.2 has the stock android fonts, replace DroidSans.ttf and DroidSansBold.ttf in /system/fonts/, reboot and you should be good.
P.S. The problem with firefox was discussed in the announce thread for 2.4.4, so you should really there first, before posting a separate thread.
Thanks for the solution, but unfortunately that failed. Every time I replaced the files using root explorer my Streak failed to boot after restarting (getting stuck on the BIOS screen/Android animation on the Gingerstreak stock boot)!
I also tried replacing the files in the install zip with the ones you suggested and reflashing the OS without any success.

That is odd, i never had a problem after swapping out the fonts. Have you tried deleting the old files and then copying the new ones, instead of overwriting?

I am running Vegen 5.1, I did the market fix, Everything was working fine.
I tried to buy bejeweled, and for some reason it would not download, It kept saying the download is starting, and it would show the downloading arrow in the notifications for about 3 seconds, then disappear, and nothing downloads.
Now I have tried to download different apps, and nothing will download?
I have ran thru the market fix steps 2 times again now, and that does not work.
Please can someone help me?
Common issue tonight....dont panic. I am guessing it relates to Googles conference Wednesday. Perhaps they are doing something. I had the issue...rebooted and was able to download the app I couldnt previously.

Sounds like issue with your SD partition. You will need to repartition your internal to 2048/0. This is documented on the first post of the Vegan thread.
Well, I tried to do some stuff, and now I am stuck in bootloop.
On market Help from google, it said to go the mangae Apps Markey, and uninstall update.
So I did that.
Then I rebooted.
Then I did Market Fix steps.
Then I rebooted, now all it does is continue to boot.
Anyone? Please?
what im so lost
best actionis to install sgs tools apk. Apply script, market fix
Ok, I did the partition.
Now it boots back up, however everything looks like I just did a factoy reset, and things still don't download.
Where do I find sgs tools apk. Apply script, market fix
Market is having issues for ever device, including market supported phones...randomly tonight. Possible cause = Google conference tomorrow and possible market enhancements being announced.

I see, so I created a bunch of work for myself in the name of learning.
I bascially just started ever with the reinstalling of the rom.
On the plus side, when you learn the most is when things go wrong. And I feel your pain - I had to reload everything from a bootloop as well

Fix
I had the same problem last night. I got it to download by going into settings/applications/system applications and clearing the data in the download manager. I had to do it for every download. BTW It seems to be working fine this morning.
...in the same boat

Hi all,
I didn't want to start a new thread but I hope someone sees this one as the main title is not descriptive at all.
I got my new gtablet three days ago (not a woot) and have been trying different roms (TNT 4.3.1 / Vegan 5.1) with no luck in the android market. As in the first topic, I tried the fixes for the market, clearing cache, data, even re-partitioning to make sure partition was 2048 | 0, turning off firewall in my router... EVERYTHING! I can see all the applications but as soon as I click to install it keeps in "starting downloading..." and could be there for hours without downloading a single bit.
Early in this topic the speculation was a google conference taking place but... that was February! Is anybody experimenting the same (frustration, haha)? How can I identify where the problem could be?
Thanks in advanece!

I'm right there with you and have yet to find a solution. It's quite frustrating.
Anyone able to link or post a .apk for the latest Dell Stage UI launcher? I upgraded to 245, but it still has the old launcher. I'd really like to play with the newer one.
Thanks in advance for any help!

This should be intersting. I think the new Stage launcher is more than one apk. I know if you are using the latest Streakdroid mod you can load it. It will be cool if it is available for you
yea that would be awesome if someone could plz post up the new dell stage apk"s ............and or watever files we might need
New Stage UI .apk's can be found in StreakDroid 1.9.0 .zip file.
latest stage here
i pulled out from rom 345 ,lets see if it works
http://hotfile.com/dl/114223455/f830bb5/new_stage.rar.html
Thanks for the file..
thank you very much............. now lets see if they run.................................or better yet what would be the best way to replace the old stage? I'm on a rooted at&t 340 o.s with side loading enabled.....any suggestions or recommendations greatly appreciated..........(maybe root explorer or titanium backup)
your results may vary..
I installed these on my 347 streak, all seems to work ok simply installing over the existing stage versions (only had a problem with email, installed ok, but the widget will not show emails, if you tap on it it takes you to the configured account but only displays "tap here to setup an account" message while in home screen) also i could not get it to actually use the silent ringtone, again it accepts it but still makes the notification sound. anyway I like the newer versions of the stage ui. (also, the fb widget may not actually be updating the content shown on the home screen)
Cheers
BR
thanks ,i'll try it
Application not installed .............i really dont want to uninstall original stage launcher for fear of complications
Not installed
Hi, I have the O2 UK latest version, not sure which build that is but I was unable to install any of the files. Error message says not installed.
I am rooted too so that should not be the problem.
Do I need a custom rom or a later one to be able to install these?
Thanks for the upload by the way. I *STILL* don't have the guts to jump and update to Steve's rom!
I got it working on my Streak.
I flashed 345, got my streak setup how I wanted it, and did a full backup.
then...
I flashed DJ_Steve's 1.9 ROM, with the option for the dell stage UI in the install.txt,
let it boot up and got it working.
I then reflashed the Dell 309 Recovery ROM, and re-flashed 345, and did a restore from my backup. Now I have the new stage UI. It's pretty slick.
I use it as my main, but I also have Zeam installed. If you default to the stage UI, you can set the fist slot in the menu, you can add the Zeam launcher. This way, I can switch UI's whenever I want.
It's really pretty slick the way I have it setup now.
Thanks to DJ_Steve (again)...

You need to use super manager app to move the apps to /system/app from data/app and it works great.
Well friends few apk file from androids forums hangs on installing screen and after that I cannot install other apk file. Rest my dell streak works well until i reboot it as it doesn't reboot after that and hangs on dell logo. I have to recover it through update.pkg which takes lot of time and frustrates me as I have to start from scratch. Does its a hardware defect or something wrong with apk file. Very importantly is their any way to outcome from such situation. I tried installing that file on rooted as well as unrooted device and the result was same. Friends kindly help me out from this annoying situation......and I'm hopeful about this.....

Um, kinda need to know what app is causing this problem... but i'm assuming it's a pirated app as the symptoms you mention are side effects of free apps hacked to get around from buying the ad free versions
It is due to invalid certificates in the apk you installed, if you are going to install an apk from an unknown source, it may pay to do a nandroid backup before you attempt the install, that will save you hours of reflashing/factory reset and then downloading and installing all your market apps, etc etc etc....

Hello,
Well, im not new to custom roms. I think im pretty experienced with it. But i found no solution for my Problem yet.
I tried many Roms for my Ace, but with some I have the problem, when I try to install an app, the Market says my device is not supported.
With other Roms it works perfectly.
For example:
I tried the Miracle Rom V2 based on CM7.2: Everything works Perfectly.
Now I tried Miracle Rom V3 based on CM7.2, too: For example Maps, Mail, SoundHound and many many other Apps are not Possible to install. "Not Supported".
Thank you for your help
try to replace it with another rom.....

lol, thats not the answer id like to hear^^
there must be a reason for that problem. It isnt solved with just installing another rom
try another version for map etc
for me anything work perfect
i use miracle v3

yes i can
or u can search in other thread for map.apk (application)
sory for my english languange

"hear what people say..respect other member bro"
yes of course i could.
But there are many many other Apps which doesnt work, where i cant download another version very easy.
For example "heise", its a german computer magazine. I cant download the app and i dont know where i can download it. It would be hard work to search for any app, i cant install, for other versions
Edit:
Success. A reinstallation of the rom solved it. Weird problem. Does anybody have an idea where it comes from?
2nd Edit:
Too early. Still problems..
Most problems on first install are commonly solved by applying wipes before and after installation.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
Im still having the same problems. But everytime i try with different Apps.
I tryed a full wipe, before and after flashing.
I even formatted everything before and after installation.
This thing is really annoying!
Problem is solved!
For anyone having the same problem:
I used a density modder to change the display resolution to 140. That makes the market to no-know the phone, because it has the wrong resolution.
Solution:
I bought "LCD Density Modder Pro" from Market to change the Density. Then I activated the option "Fix Market Compability Issues" which installs a modified Market.apk to make the market think the phone still has the resolution 160
I'm having same issue. All the apps on my phone say this is not compatible with your device!
Rooted my phone 2 days ago, everything else stock!
I remember having this issue since ICS and on multiple devices running different ROMs.
What gives? I know the solution is to clear out the Download history and it still works. Just annoying that I have to do that... Does Google know about this issue??
You can also try using a browser like Opera, that helps me. But yeah it really is annoying it also happens to me both on GB and ICS

To be able to download certain files, you must first have an application that can run the file. If you don't have the ablity to run the file it will refuse to download, giving the download unsuccessful message.
What you say may be true. But the files I download are definitely openable. Yet they still don't download successfully until after multiple attempts or clearing the cache.

Hello everyone -- First post
I don't know if this will help, but i tell you what i experienced yesterday. I have both a HP Touchpad 32GB Wifi only and a Samsung Fascinate. I have the problem with both of them for months now. I can install anything i want from Google Play, but can not down load any other files, both from emails and websites. I can write to it with Window XP Pro machine.
Two days ago i was messing around with my Touchpad dual boot WebOS/CM7 and wreck it. Wouldn't reboot, couldn't run WebOS doctor on it or any thing. I thought it was bricked. Then i ran across a forum how to delete the volume manually and recreate them. Then install back to factory original.
Last night i got it back to 3.0.5 and installed CM9 tenderloin nightly 20121028 dual boot. First think i did was go to a website to down load a PDF file to see if this fix my download problem. File downloaded, i tried opening it, said no file associate. Jump into Google Market , installed reader, open the file, no problem. I started checking with ROM Manager for any nightly updates. There was one and i started downloading it, and moved on to installing Titanium Backup plus Root. Few minutes after dubbing around, checking CM9.I noticed that it had a download error. SO i jumped on to another website to download another file. Immediately <Untitled> Download Unsuccessful. Here we go again. Switch over to Google Market, Titanium Backup plus Root finished installing.
I remove it and root. Check to see if it fixed the problem. NOPE! still no downloading. This morning at work during break, I wiped CM9 out with ACMEUnistaller, and started over. Same install as before. No problem downloading any files so far, but i have not reinstalled Titanium Backup plus Root. I will install it tonight just to be sure and redo my Samsung Fascinate to see if i can reproduces the same results there with CM10.
Can someone else that is having the same problem confirm with their system and see if they get same result?
Not so
Sorry guys, I just reinstalled Titanium Backup plus and can not repeat it. I'll keep checking with everything that I install and any settings I change
You may have better luck with the Touchpad forum.

Its not just my touchpad that is having the same issue. My Samsung fascinate have the issue and it has CM10 nightly. I've search many forum site for this problem. There are many other that are having the issue with all different devices and ROM's. I
I'm currently trying to repeat on touchpad because if i mess this unit up it won't be a big deal for me. I have got it down 25 minutes or ever less removing the CM and reload it. Not so fast for me on the Samsung. So far unsuccessful repeating it. Going to try repairing Fascinate and on it.
You think this should be moved to another thread? If so please let me know.
Thanks in advance
FYI, if you change the name of the original Download folder to, say Download_old, then try the download again, it will create a new folder and download to that one. weirdly, the folder permissions are exactly the same for both folders after (rwxrwxr-x)
