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.

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 ...

Ok i just bought a new Optimus one p500 today.
So I've just started checking it out.. but one thing i noticed was that the default android twitter app doesnt allow me to log into my account.
Even though the Username/password were right, it keeps showing "Invalid Username/password" message..
i tried m.twitter.com from the native browser and that was able to log me in .. right now its just the android twitter app..
any1 else faced this problem?

Update your twitter app using the market
It will work then.
EDIT: Got ninja'd on my first post... sigh...
ah.kk .. thanks..
lol. seems there's a lot of stuff for me to learn here..
Oh, and should i really root my phone.. Right now its got 2.2.1..
so should I root and install a custom ROM now itself, or use the phone for a week or more, and then decide?

Well, i rooted and installed a custom rom on my phone three days after purchasing it... But I had done my "homework" a few days before, learning a bit more about Android.
Take your time and do what you want, but I do believe you won't regret rooting your phone

Regarding root, I'd say exactly as you. Take a little time and read about custom recovery, root, roms, 2.2, gingerbread, froyo etc. See development section for such knowledge. Everything is there!

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.

How do I search for and delete a spam ad in my operating system?
It shows up in my browser as adtracking.king.com/modules/(more stuff I cannot remember)...
I've searched everywhere and had no luck.
My phone is a Huawei M835 running android 2.2 which is rooted.
I've tried root Explorer, but cannot find /modules section.

the only way to delete it is uninstalling the app. turning off any connection to the internet works too i think.
can I delete it via file manager?? ...
I've taken the battery out several times and can see where that's not going to work much. So I'll turn off my internet right after I post this.
FYI: the ad seems like it's on a timer. Plus it keeps telling me different things such as "your phone is at risk", "free app of the day", "Samsung galaxy phone", and the URL is usually for candy crush saga, which not only doesn't work on this phone, the URL redirects me to Google Play Store.
Thank you for helping me out!!
Is there anything else I should try??
Get "airpush ad detector" , it is most likely some app that is causing this!
Delete the offending app.

Look at the post i quoted.
I was going to post another question mark but maybe not. I probably meant +1 to the ? . hadn't taken much notice of the kernel thing! :banghead:
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda premium
new kernel means fewer problems likely ...
I'm not getting anything more than the network notice.
Airpush doesn't mention an app or anything else so I'm really not sure what to try next. On most Linux systems, when you disable or worse, delete the network manager - your out of business. The thing stops working. I'm 200 miles from the nearest metropcs store, so that's why I asked.
The bulk of Linux distributions don't have issues such as this, so that's why I'd rather put the new Linux kernel in. Plus, I'm very familiar with synaptic and a host of things that android simply doesn't have.
I've actually found a premium Linux installer which installs Debian and Ubuntu on your cell phone right from sourceforge.net.
Also, I did some research and metropcs offers phones up to android 4.0. No word if they're still going to run in 2015 when metropcs switches over from cdma to T-Mobile's gma network.
I'm sorry for the late reply. I was nearly killed in a motorcycle wreck in January (6 months ago) and I've been sick in bed for a while. I was in a coma for 4 1/2 months. My new bike was destroyed. Several broken bones. - So I apologize.
The URL showing up in the address bar is http://adtracking.king.com/modules/ad tracking /?com.=candy.crush.saga. Is there a way to hunt this /modules directory down in Root Explorer???
You could try adding the address to the hosts file in /etc/hosts

The problem sounds oh so much like a malicious app, did you install something just prior to this starting? Maybe pull a logcat and try to see if you can't track down what's doing this.
FYI a lot of free games will do exactly this, try a clean wipe and just installing what you need

Thank you very much for getting back to me. Are there instructions or a thread that will help me do this?
Demon - I agree this is some balogna planted on my phone. Although I always use Google Play for my apps and never ever install games, I did get gingerbreak 1.2 from a non XDA source and I think that's the problem.
Is there a clean Gingerbreak link I can use??
Also, what android versions does XDA premium run on??? It's borked on my 2.2 version of android.

Shannon -2,
I looked up, and found tytung's posts regarding the ROM's and even found the posts for the new 4.2 ROM's then bookmarked the posts too.
Since a few mods got mad and deleted the download links, is therê a place that will allow users to download the ROM's we need?
Also, will these ROM's work on non -HTC cellphones?? (Such as my huawei M835).
I honestly don't know how to determine if my phones have the type of / version of software listed to run the ROM's tytung's listed in his posts. - I read most of his posts in on huge thread, including the new screen he created with other Developers. I just don't have the knowledge yet to decipher if this is appropriate for my two phones or not.
Since your an experienced developer, will the XDA premium app run on android 4.0 or higher and let us post??
Lastly, is there a Developer that I can Pay to updated my ROM?
Thank you Shannon!!
AFAIK all versions are supported by xda app.
If you search on google you will find links to tytungs roms, the mods don't want links posted here!!
Search for 'NexusHD2 Android forum' and you will find guides for installation on all of these roms.
No, these roms are specific to the HD2 hardware so won't work on your huawei M835.
If you want a fluid rom go for the gingerbread version, the 4.x roms have some lag!
If you have any problems post back here.
Good luck with it.
In search of a better ROM ...

I deeply appreciate your help and most of all, your patience.

BTW: I can't get XDA Premium to install on my Huawei M835 at all. The free version lets you send pm's, but won't let you post. - Something I hope to fix once I update my phone.
