Hello All,
If you are running a sense rom and having problems with google apps, YouTube, Maps etc with the google play service not installing. Well here is a fix for that.
How to Install?
1.) Download update.zip and place on root of SDCard
2.) Reboot into recovery
3.) flash update.zip
4.) Wipe both caches
5.) reboot
6.) update google apps, and install Play services
Hopefully this helps anyone having problems with this. I have tested this on vigor360, but i don't see what it wouldnt work on other sense roms.

Yeah...its just replacing the package.xml file in the /data/system directory. The reason people are having problems is the gms or Google Play Services didn't have permission in that file or more simple put all the gms lines are missing from the file So when you went to install it. It checks the file and because the gms stuff isn't there it denies it or you get that shared id error. All this file does is add the gms lines needed for Google services nothing else is changed or modded.

I was having some problems with google maps, so I flashed this just to see what happens. On reboot I was greeted with a few FCing apps, and several apps that seemingly had their data wiped/reset. Some of my android settings reverted to default but not others.

Can you give more information...what ROM are you running, what carrier, are you running any mods or scripts, anything that might give a clue as to why this change might cause your symptoms. I'm interested in reloading some of the older ROMs on a couple spare Rezounds I have (just for the hell of it really) so I'm interested in your experience but I need more information.
Are you sure you had a good download?
Any more information would be a start...

Haha, I read your post before the post above it and wondered what about my post made you so "tired of the bull." I'm on sun_dreams ICS 4.04 Sense4+ ROM. Not the version posted in the forum, but an earlier version from May. Verizon. Sure, I've got a bunch of init.d scripts, but I just looked through all of them...nothing that I think would influence this. Here's my packages.xml: https://www.dropbox.com/s/px2hg2gp4wj6eyz/packages.xml

OK the issue seems to be dirty flashing related. If its a clean install this works perfect. If its a dirty flash it doesnt work as well it does work but seems to have issues. I'm working on fixing that so no matter what it will work. Should be updated tonight

Yup that's what needs to happen. The thing is they need to go in a certain area within the file so I'm doing a little testing to make sure it doesn't screw up. Theres one other thing I'm gonna try is using the permissions folder and creating a separate file and add it to that directory instead of the package.xml

So was this updated? I'm having an issue where Google Hangouts force closes after a while and won't stop until I uninstall and reinstall it, so I was thinking about giving this a try. I think Hangouts ran for 6 days this last time before it started forceclosing.

Here is a little workaround or fix, either way, for the EC09 download problem. I have tried it on stock EC09, replace apk and remove odex file. It also works on TSM and Nameless, I have tried it on all of them.
There are some apk's provided here that if you replace what is currently in your /system/app folder they will fix the download issues.It also makes youtube and netflix work reliably, at least in my case. I have not had others test this out, I wanted to get this out to the XDA community to try out. You have to copy these into the app folder, if you try installing it will fail, I have used root explorer, available in market (not free), and Android Commander, Google it (requires Android SDK setup) to copy these strait to the app folder. your phone will vibrate through most of this it's just complaining about the change. Now for what you really want, the files, ok fine here they are. Please feel free to post results, good or bad, here.
Download Provider APK
Download Provider UI APK
DRM Provider APK
DRM UA APK
SEC Download Provider APK
Security Provider APK
BTW: after every reboot i get a DRM has stopped working message right as everything finishes loading, just click on the Force Close. It only seems to happen on boot and after you close it the app will work fine.
Now you can also get this in a flashable zip courtesy of BakedTator, thanks for the hook up on that.

OK Devs, Hope these help y'all figure out whats wrong with our leak, if not PLEASE feel free to use these.
And an extra little treat, Netflix from the market works even though it isn't available to us yet, so here it is, non modded downloaded and tested with all EC09 builds, and it has worked on every one of them for me.

Meh, if this zip isn't flashing a kernel then it can be flashed pretty much immeditately after commrom. The system update text that flashes everywhere is produced by redbend_ua during kernel flashing. bmlwrite doesn't do that. Soo flashing this after flashing the should be fine.

Accidentally click on "update" when it prompts. It makes no sense to have OTA update enabled for customized ROMs, but anyway to disable it? Thanks all.
This might do it
Just try for errors. I used root explore to edit the file "build.prop" in the system folder. Changed the Blur version to a large number (much larger than a practical one) and also change the rdf link information to an invalid one, as follows.
ro.mot.hw.uaprof=http://uaprof.motorola.com/phoneconfig/MotoMB999/profile/MotoMB999.rdf
ro.build.version.full=Blur_Version.99.9.9.MB855.Sprint.en.US
Then you need to reboot and wipe your cache with CM. After did so, the OTA update windows has never popped up so far and I won't even get the OTA update through the setting menu. But not sure if these edits will cause other issues, so you may try at your risk.
I would be interested to know if that effectively solves the issue, my Photon is running Laser and just today has started bugging me about the update every 3 hours.

you need to reboot to recovery mode and select "wipe cache" in the "advanced" tab. If you don't have it installed, pls check this post.

For those that might not be as technically inclined or you don't want to take the chance in editing your build.prop you can also do this:
1. Download bloat freezer from the market. (its free)
2. I should have said first you have to be rooted or it wont work
3. Open bloat freezer and it will list all apps and processes; scroll down until you see "Updater".
4. Freeze that process. It will stay frozen until you defrost it.
5. That is it no more OTA pushes or Notifications
I know we all don't like OTA updates when you're unlocked, rooted, and running a custom rom and/or kernel. The hassle of flashing back and forth can be annoying too so this is a simple fix until we get custom radio's for the photon
The new Joker ROM is based off the latest OTA. But I think you have to install to leak to update the radios and what not then install the ROM. But you won't get any OTA updates as you'll be on the latest version. Home Base/Alien/Star Wars are all running on the 154 build.
You could also edit the build.prop file so that the system thinks you have the latest version...but you won't have all the fixes, so you should probably flash the latest SBF.

It could be the super user update before the latest one not to long ago. I've had the same issue before and after the most recent update I've had no problems. Also which ROM are u using and also which kernel?

The app dev has been working on fixing all the FC issues as their related to the sqlite database access whenever apps were requesting root access it was having issues with accessing its own database where it stored saved permissions. Not being able to access its own database was causing the FC issue.
He explains a lot of the bug trouble shooting on his web site: http://androidsu.com/
latest version on the market should have the majority of fixes. i would give that one a shot. go to market, install latest version and make sure to do the update su binary inside the latest version of the app.
personally, i just got rid of it and put the dev su binary from AOSP on until he has for sure fixed everything. not a very secure solution so i wouldn't recommend it for all, but for developing purposes, it saves me from having to deal with erroneous FC issues for now.
Sup pm man?? Hope all is good. A you could extract a su from a stable rom or a nand you made by using 7zip and install it. Or you could just try one of the super wipe zips around here and see if that works. Its weied though I've heard alot about su fc on a few members but I'm running steeleH rom and I've had not one fc.

Looks like he got it, updating SU through the app will give you 3.0.3 and it's working great again.
If anyone has trouble getting to where you can update it try wiping the data for Superuser first and then go to Superuser -> Menu -> Preferences -> Su binary... (tap to check for updates)

Hi & Thanks for the look. My phone is in my signature. Basically a virgin Galaxy Nexus unlocked and rooted.
Any .zip I try to install, even as you suggested above gives me the error. Sigh! I want that inverted stuff.
I love you guys and a newb of sorts I am frustrated in all the wonderful stuff that gets posted without install details.
I cannot help but think if I am trying to install a inverted MMS, Gmail, or People .zip should I not disable or rename the current apps that I am replacing?
I experimented flashing the su.zip and it went ok. So it is not my phone.......I think?
Thanks.

If your talking about the mms.apk,
I use root explorer to navigate to the system/app folder and find the OE mms.apk and rename it to mms.apk.bak to disable it. The icon will disappear from the home screen start bar and app drawer.
I then place the new mms.apk in system/app folder and make sure its permissions are all checked off.
Then go to my app drawer and see if its there and will run. If it does I drage the icon back onto my home bar.
Some devices are finicky. Some require a reboot after a renaming then move it in there. Some require a reboot after every move. Its according to the apk and the device.

Then I moved it to system/app and when I rebooted I hand no messaging at all. I restored my stock messaging from my titanium backup file, but I can't figure out what's wrong. I really want this messaging system, I love the look. Can anyone give me some ideas?

Any clean instructions on how to install this?
Does this have blurry MMS?
YOU WILL NEED:
The B2G nandroid
Siyah JB
The b2g_i777_keyfix.zip file attached below (created/modded by myself)
1. Hook up your i777 to your PC and put it into USB storage mode (if it doesn't do that automatically)
2. un-7zip the B2G nandroid and place the b2g-0602 folder in the /clockworkmod/backup/ folder on your external SD (create the backup folder if necessary)
3. Place the two zips at the root of your SD card for easiness later on
4. Boot to CWM and install the Siyah Kernel JB zip
5. Reboot recovery
6. Follow the steps in the thread with the B2G nandroid download, although they may not work for you.
6(a). If those steps do not work, attempt to clone your current ROM to the second ROM under dual booting options OR create a nandroid backup of your current ROM (so you can easily go back to it)
6(b). After that, restore nandroid b2g-0602 from backup (this will wipe the first ROM so be careful)
7. Reboot recovery
8. flash b2g_i777_keyfix.zip to make the volume rocker work as the home key (as the capacitive keys do not work as is)
Q&A
HOW WILL I CHANGE MY VOLUME LEVELS?
You can change your volume levels from settings
IS THIS NICE AND PERFECT?
Nope, not at all. If anything this is a step down from Android currently. The DPI is screwed up, navigation is odd because of inability to use capacitive keys, lack of Google sync, and this overall isn't a daily driver.
SO WHY WOULD I WANT TO USE THIS?
I don't know? Why don't you tell me?
WHAT DOESN'T WORK?
Everything that is listed as not working in the i9100 thread, calls probably don't work, camera doesn't work, and probably many other things
WHAT DOES WORK?
SMS for sure works, WIFI works, data might work
SPECIAL THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS WORKED ON PORTING THIS OPERATING SYSTEM TO THE I9100!
Why not reserve a post for stuff and things.
Screenshots can be found here!
Please read this! I would not recommend flashing anything not meant for our device in heimdall or Odin. Please stick to the nandroid, where you can easily go back to recovery.

Sadly I do not know how to take screenshots in Firefox OS! I can, however, link to a thread with screenshots of Firefox OS at a similar DPI and whatnot... thanks for the suggestion!
Yeah, it's pretty interesting to say the least. Not good enough to be a daily driver (or even close), but it still works okay (no random reboots, etc.)
where is the download for this os? like the os download itself? is it on the website?

Well on the website there are build instructions for this, but really no downloads (unless you count what I believe is a desktop VM image).
Basically Mozilla uses Github and lets you pull things from their Github (via terminal) to build for your desired device.

That's sounds very alpha to me.
I'm really curious about it but I think I'll wait till It gets beta looks.

I agree. Very very alpha. I am unable to build anything lol. Maybe someone can build just an alpha to mess around with?
Could someone try to build from source?I tried several times but i keep gitting errors when config starts.
Anyone still interested in this?
