My bad for dragging this along but I did use the search box and scanned through to try and find it. I went back to stock 1.1-3588 and was wondering if anyone can help me run the normal gapps on the stock rom? Or, is it even doable? Thank you.

Hello everyone:
I've tried everything, I've looked at the entire vibrantdump.zip, Eugene's vibrant4.zip, and the only thing I can find is the Sims launcher. I cannot find the apk for the entire game. I'm running Bionix 1.9 and it's great, but since I paid for the game when I got the phone, It'd be nice to get it back up and running. Can anyone help out? PM me if you have to, I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers =^)

Lol, I have the sims .apk but not the launcher. Search for com.ideaworks3d.thesims3.apk and you will find what you're looking for.
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!! I'll give it a shot!
Ok... I got the .apk, installed it, and it plays, but the graphics are off. Alot of it just displays as white without showing the original texture and color. Any ideas?
Just flash the stock ROM and you will have it !

I agree. Reflash using odin and make a nandroid backup before deleting apps.
Ok, thanks for the replies, everyone. I know some of the stock roms out there have the bloatware removed, so does anyone have advice on which stock rom I can use that would get my phone back to factory stock with all the bloatware and hopefully will also includes the new OTA update. If you could point me to the right thread, I'd appreciate it. I'm not sure which one is the best to use for what I want to do.
I'm on Bionix 1.9 right now. I also noticed that The Sims and the Avatar launcher were removed. I never even played the Sims, but I figured I'd try it. The only thing I could think of to retrieve it was to nandroid back to stock, back up the .apk with Astro (titanium backup wasn't seeing it for some reason), nadroid back to Bionix, and then install it. That all worked out just fine. However, there seems to be no launcher for it. An dwhen you browse to the .apk in Astor, and try to "launch" it, it gives me this error:
activity not found - com.ideaworks3d.thesims3
Does anyone have any idea how to get it working again, after flashing a custom rom that removed it along with various other pre-installed apps? Thanks in advance.
Maybe along with the apk you need the 'data_tmo/games' directory that has the data files. That may be why your game runs but without the textures and graphics.

This method works. Thanks!
worked on 2.2 rom, thank you so much !!
I recently updated my wife's phone and lost the memo app. I thought nothing of it, because I do not use it myself, but she is pretty disappointed about it being gone.
So, first my question - will the stock fascinate Memo app run on EB01?
and second my request - could someone hook me with a link to DL it? I have looked and looked to no avail. I have found the backup of it in Titanium Backup, but Restore is not an option (prompting the question of whether it can run in EB01), and I would really like to get it back for her.
I did find this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930430 but the link is dead... Likewise, I thought to use Rom Manager, however I have read that it is not compatible with the new CWM, and if I open it, it tell me I need to flash CWM, which I don;t think I should do on EB01 SC2.4V... Really at a loss on this.
Any assist is greatly appreciated.
nobody? nothing?
Did u try just extracting the apk and using root explorer and just dropping it into system/app folder and rebooting? I find this will work for most apps that wont install directly or through cwm.
Edit. Here is a link. Hope it helps.

I guess I am confused on that line - I have seen that recommendation for other apps and issues, but I do not know where to find the apk - that is where my issue really lies...
TB does show it listed, just no restore option, and I am unable to locate the apk anywhere - market or web (so far)
I do appreciate the look...

exactly what I have been searching for - thank you so very much.
<ETA> how come you rock so hard? That was exactly the fix I was looking for and we are back to happy land. I sincerely appreciate the assist.
No problem

My wife is the same way..she wanted the stock note app. But I finally convinced her to switch to color note because you can't restore the notes..so even if you get the app back..every time there is an update she will lose her notes.

backup samsung memo database
this might be too little or too late for some of you but maybe not for others ..
I found the samsung fascinate memo stores everything in ...
/dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.memo/memo.db
if you have root access, you can copy this file to sdcard or through other method.
you can then restore it after you reimage (I assume you can) I haven't tried it yet. again I assume you need root to restore it ...
also - it is a SQLite database - so you can use "SQLite Database Browser by tabuleiro" on your PC to see all the notes. it's available on sourceforge.
click on second tab "Browse Data" - then choose table called "memo" and you will see all the memos show up in a table. double click each one and you can export, or just copy/paste.
probably a moderately skilled SQL admin can get all the data extracted with a few queries.
I was thinking of attempting to create an app that would back it up and restore or export. perhaps it could work with any db on the device.
Ok! I installed ClockworkMod_Gtab_v08 and then flashed with gtab_tnt_lite_v4.40. Than I did the installed and did the Titanium Backup. I used the Gtab for about a week. All the while logging onto Market and downloading and installing various aps.
Two questions. 1. I downloaded and install Adobe Flashplayer 10 which downloaded and Gtab said successfully installed. But I can't find it in the aps section and it won't open (open is grayed out) in the market (where it has an "open and uninstall" button. Anyone know why it won't open?
2. After this flash, how do I find the next upgraded update for the Tnt or should I go the another rom like Harmony? And how do I do the flash? Just like the original flash using ClockWkMod? And will I loose all my installed (some bought) aps?
Thank you
Flash player isn't going to show in the app drawer. It isn't something you run, only utilized by the browser. Try loading a site with flash animations/games/video/etc. and seeing if it works. Not sure on the market side of your problem. It has never showed in my market no matter how many times I've done the simple fix. I got 10.2.156.12.apk from the viewsonic page (gtablet page, click on Favorites, not the link on the main page for flash) under Multimedia. Works fine for me.
I'm not sure about #2. Pretty new to this. If you mean the official Tnt, I think you'd need to revert to stock and update. I think Titanium can be used to backup, but again, I'm pretty new and just going by what I remember reading. Search around and I'm sure you'll find all your answer.

2) Bookmark the original thread and check back. The devs always update the existing thread with new releases. If you decide to change to another ROM please make sure to read that developers instructions to make sure there aren't any special procedures needed.
Hey guys since i install the new update i found that we dont have the swype key function like before. What is the problem or cause of it?
I thought they took that function away. If you want Swype, go get the original. I believe you can still sign up and they'll send you the download link, and you just install it like a normal APK.
Question answered.
Hi guys, I recently soft bricked my sidekick4G (because I'm new to the sidekick and stupidly didn't do enough research) after installing a ROM.
The Easy One-Click Root program rooted my phone, but for some reason wouldn't pop up any super user notifications, so I went into super user and checked the allow all; that seemed to work for installing my third party apps like Root Explorer.
So I remember I installed the red CWM or w.e it's called (Voodoo?) and that work fine, I can still enter it, I can also enter the orange CWM by applying the "sdcard:update.zip" (Which I thought to be forbidden).
So here I am now getting a robotic woman's voice on every boot saying "Convert data partition, system not available"
I know I need to use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186954 to go into download mode and install ODIN,
SO.... My problem is that I cannot find the StockKG2ODIN.tar.md5 file ANYWHERE, all megaupload websites blocked it, and risky torrents have already pissed me off enough.
If any of you have this file, can you Please, PLEASE attach it or upload it, or find a working link for me? I would really, really appreciate it.
Or
If there are any other alternatives to fix the dilemma I'm in, please let me know, as I am new to the Sidekick 4G.
Thank You Guys! And I can promise some THANKS for you too if you help me out =)
