Hi,
I recently installed a custom ROM in my phone.
What I noticed is that the problem is either that my phone drivers can't be installed for some reason (I have a SGS being treated as a Google Nexus S), or I just can't implement applications.
I mean that when I try to build an application on Eclipse, my phone is not recognized, like I don't have it plugged in.
Which one is it?
anyone?

What do you mean by "I just can't implement applications"?
Do you mean you cannot install apps from the market? If so, are you sure you installed a ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S? Have you manually changed your screen DPI or is the ROM modified in any way regarding the screen DPI?

I didn't describe my problem, my bad.
I mean that when I try to build an application on Eclipse, my phone is not recognized, like I don't have it plugged in.
I am pretty sure there is a simple answer and tons of people know if developing apps on custom roms is available. I dont get why none answers

Install the drivers for your device.
Comes up I had the drivers. I tried reinstalling them and it didn't work again.
I also tried it in another PC with no luck
Not sure if it matters but the custom ROM I have is Dark Knight 3.

Did you search the miui ROM thread? And have you asked in there?
That would be the best (and correct) place to start.
Well it is a release thread, so I prefer to keep that one clean. Therefore I chose the QnA. I have searched there but there are only reports about green videos not about the app itself.

You may get an answer in here, but that thread is the correct place to ask. As per forum rules you shouldn't start a new thread to ask questions relating to another thread. You're not supposed to start development threads unless you're releasing, but discussion in them is correct.
Anyway, have you tried taking the youtube app off your Galaxy Tab? That should work with it, unless there's something incompatible with the miui ROM, in which case you're back to the ROM thread again.
I suppose one of your other devices is rooted?
On the rooted device go to /data/app and copy com.google.androi.youtube-2.apk to your pc. You can do this with either root explorer or a similar app, or with adb.
Then copy it to the internal storage of your galaxy s 2 and place it in /data/app and overwrite everything, use root explorer, or similar, and remember to activate r/w. You can also use adb push for this.
Please tell me if this works. Otherwise I would recommend, as always, backup, not youtube ofcourse , wipe everything and install again.
Oh, and don't mind the thread, as you can see it already is a horrible mess over there...
Use the MIUI backup, wipe everything, redownload (could be a bad download) and reflash MIUI, check market for youtube, if it isn't there tell me and I'll grab the youtube apk from my phone running MIUI.
Thanks for the help guys I will give it a try this evening and will report back with the result
EDIT: will be for this evening, couldn't find the time yesterday

The full wipe didn't work nor did the root explorer way. Keep getting FC's. Had this problem on miui for the desire as well...
Could this be country specific my mate had the same problem on his desire with miui...
Only thing left to try is seshmaru's way

Unzip youtube.7z to /data/app, give it the correct permissions and reboot the phone.
Cheers
Try and use galnetmiui. YouTube will work with galnetmiui. No offence to the other miui's but they ain't no where near as good and stable as galnet's

I have noticed that on some roms (Mostly AOSP, as CM 7.1) some of my purchased apps do not show up as downloadable. When I search for them, they're also gone...
Why is this happening? It seems that some apps are locked out from the CM version of the market. How do I fix this? I would really like to use CM 7.1, but what does it matter if I can't install all my favorite apps?
Just installing APK's from file manager is NOT a solution, I want to know how to show them permanently inside the market.
I have seen the same issues, maybe someone could help

Same issues with some apps just not appearing in the market on some roms?
Maybe the ROM/Phone info the Market is getting isn't compatible with the apps you're trying to download. Have you tried if Market Enabler lets you download them?

I thought that Market Enabler lets you choose a different provider. That's not the problem. I can do it on CheckROM, but not on CM 7.1. I will try it out to see if I'm wrong.

I'm with Hypedroid and its going pretty good atm, but I don't know if I have the same issue as you're having without knowing which apps are the one not showing in market. You can also try to install Chainfire3D driver to improve games.

Thanks for the tip
Simple solution .
Download apps on a rom that works .
Copy apps to a folder on your external sd card .
install your custom rom and then install the apps .

I've never had luck getting fonts changed on ICS and now Jellybean for this device. Every time I attempt I bootloop and give up. Granted I'm only using the ROM Toolbox method as of now, but other program methods changed nothing as far as I could tell.
Is there a process that I'm missing? Attached is a zip containing the orgininal font and the modified version (to remove the [][][] boxes that were popping up)
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, as this font is gorgeous on smaller screens!
Try font changer in the play store. I havent used it with ICS or Jelly Bean. But I used it on Gingerbread and it worked perfectly.

I guess I forgot to add, I used both that program and ROM Toolbox on Gingerbread (CM7) and it worked wonderfully. I didnt know if there was something else thats different about the install process. Or maybe due to the Alpha nature I shouldnt get my hopes up?
For the love of God, Mother Mary and all the saint's of the church, never use ROM Manager.......ever. That's like the golden rule. (for the X2, that is)
Well if font changer doesnt work, I dont know what else to say. Thats the only method I have used but like I said, I havent tried it on ICS or JB. ICS and JB might have a different method for fonts which may cause Rom Toolbox and font changer not to work. Do some google searches. I found this that might work for you. I would backup your rom before trying though.

For the Droid X2, either ROM Toolbox or ROM manager isnt recommended. These two apps can make changes to the ROM that our device doesnt support. Like stuff that requires an unlocked bootloader, which our device doesnt have. People have said that changing fonts or a boot animation will work fine but anything other than that, it can potentially cause big problems. So bottom line, be careful with what you do with it.

I was pointing out that Rom Manager is in no way the same thing as Rom Toolbox. The former deals with rom downloads, mods and recovery installation, whereas the other is a collection of root tools. Toolbox is just a hub for the multitude of JRummy apps. I've only used it to have a one-stop for adblocking, root browser and animation/theme changing. Those 3 tasks work perfectly in CM9/10.
I will just try manually switching out the fonts to see if that changes anything. I was looking to see if there were other X2 users who were successful in performing this task within a CM9/10 environment. I'll assume no one has for now.
Well I havent seen anyone else ask about changing fonts in ICS or JB. I wouldnt know how to do it if the other two methods dont work. Again, I would search around for a Universal method rather than one specifically for the DX2. I think the usual methods not working are more due to the change of the way ICS and JB handle things than our ROM not being complete though.
Sorry for the stupid question - it's been a while that I used my X10 Mini Android phone...
I am trying to revive my phone for my son and just installed newest stock ROM from Sony. Everything works as Sony - expected, however I do not find e.g. the App Kytephone in the store to install. I heard that this app pretty much close down the phone and makes any android phone a great kids phone.
Any help how I can install that app? Any stting or update to marketpalce needed Would updating to any custom ROM might make that App available to install ? Which one is most stable (as my son shouldn't use too many features anyway...)
THANK YOU!
It needs Android 2.2 or higher, and sony's latest update is 2.1, that's why you can't find it in the store, so upgrading to a custom froyo or gingerbread rom should do the trick

Awsome - thanks, will try. I know this is a non-checker question and it all depends on individual opinions... However, could you name any ROM that has its strength in stability and battery life?
I would go with MiniCM7, the last version to run on stock kernel was 2.0.7, which is quite stable.
Or you could try this, which should run on 2.1 too

The market will only show apps that are suitable for our phones. You get more choice if you run the latest custom rom (which is Jellybean), but the market will also take into account things like the screen resolution, and the architecture of the chip used.
Apps developed specifically for Armv7 or higher won't run on our phones, which have Armv6 architecture, and if an app requires a resolution higher than 240x320, then the market won't show those options either.
If you want to try an app that is unsopported, find a .apk for that app (use a general search for that app), copy it to your sd-card and install it from there. If the app checks it's own requirements (rather than let google-play decide if it's appropriate) it still won't install though. Sometimes you'll get lucky, but that is really rare.
Usually the only way to get an 'unsupported' app to run is to get a different device that fulfill it's requirements.
no application recognizes my GSII, like this for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.nomoarpowah.pro. so after installing the rom paranoid 3.99 (4.3) even the ota not recognizes .
when access the google play by navergador also does not recognize my device I think is a mistake in the build however not seen any.
Could you please elaborate what you're trying to say?
DPI???
