[Q] Please help!

So I just got done installing fresh evo 3.1.0.1. I wiped everything 3 times and flashed the rom, radio, etc. Everything seems to be working except most of my downloads are missing in the market. Not a big deal, but when I try to download anything from them market it just continues to say "starting download" but it never starts. Can anyone here tell me why? Everything else works great including wifi tether. Thanks in advance for any help anyone has.

I also just want to thank you for posting int he right section as your first post so many make the mistake of posting int he wrong palce.
let us know if the above didnt worka dn we will see fi we can figure somethign out.

After rewiping and reinstalling some of my apps were able to dl. Then it stopped working again. Rewipe reinstall, same thing. I eventually realized this was only happening after installing juice defender (not even using just installing). Wiped, reinstalled again without juice defender and now as far as I can tell everything is working again. Thanks for the support guys! This was my first time flashing roms and I was a bit nervous but it worked out.
Now my next task, can someone tell me how to configure an update server so I can use fresh updater??

you can use fresh updater for the rom as is to get themes working you go to the tweaks tab, hit menu and go to configuration.click theme update settings, thenmanage theme severs, hit menu and select update features theme servers from the very top. it should show you fresh patches, click it and then you can exit updater rerun ti and should beable to sync themes.

Awesome! Thanks so much. I am sorry but I am very green behind the ears.I'm not really that tech savvy, also I am new to android. LOL anyway I'm having fun so far with my rooted evo running fresh 3.1.0.1. Thanks guys!

Still need help!
So I have now realized that my market dl's are still not working. Sometimes they do , sometimes they still just say "starting dl". If i leave it at the "starting download" screen and go to bed the downloads eventually go through and are done when I wake up. Any other ideas people? My downloads were always lightening fast with fresh 2.1.

cannot restore backup with twrp2.2, touch screen not recognizing swipe

Hello,
I'm having a problem where my touch screen is no longer recognizing where I touch. I have been in the process in rooting my kindle, flashing the CM10 jelly bean ROM with SGT7 enhancements, and trying to install access to the Google Play. I did a backup before I rooted the kindle, but I haven't done any additional backups along the way.
Everything seemed to be fine until I started trying to install access to Google Play. I did not have it by default with the ROM so I went looking for it. I read the forums and tried a few things that other people had done but had no success (the google framework would not install) until I tried a procedure I found on youtube that someone else had had success with. After I installed it, I had two new icons "Market" and "Market Opener". When I selected either one of them, I was prompted to create an goodle account for my device, but the request always returned with an error saying the connection could not access the google server. So, I began looking around in all my settings to see if I could find a setting that might affect the success for failure of trying to do this, and I started having a lot of trouble with the touchpad responsiveness as I tried to navigate around the menus. It was very frustrating. So, since I had not done a back up before installing the market apps, I tried to uninstall it. But, the touch screen was just not cooperating. So, I went a step further and rebooted to recovery to see if I could uninstall the apps from there. But again, the touchpad was still not cooperating. It was very inconsistent and would respond to very few touches. So finally, I decided the heck with it and want to restore my backup to the stock kindle and start all over again. However, the touch screen won't recognize the swipe to confirm restoring the backup. So now I am hosed and I don't know what to do.
Is there any way to restore a backup through my PC using adb?
Here's what I think I have installed:
fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip
KFU v0.9.6
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-blaze.img
cm-10-20120817-2143-SNAPSHOT-otter-sgt7-linaro.zip
ROOTexplorer.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
KindleFireAndroidMarket.zip
MarketOpener.apk
I'm pretty new at this, so any hand-holding you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Valerie
P.S. It's also very puzzling to me why it seems to hard to find the right stuff to install in order to get access to Google Play. Any idea why it is so hard? I'd just like to understand. Thanks.

Wow, no one has responded to my post. This must be a problem no one has seen before. Leave it to me to find new ways to screw up!
Well, I've made a little progress getting my system back to a usable state. I was able to set the system back to factory defaults. Of course I lost all of my customized settings, but at this I don't really care. The touch screen works much better now. If I had to guess (but I could be wrong) I would say that my touch screen troubles were due to having played with the wallpaper settings (and maybe combined with placing widgets on the home screen). There might be something screwy going on there, but I don't know for sure, and I don't want to go back and attempt to recreate the problem right now.
Now, I still have the problem of not being able to connect to the market. I also have read other people's posts where they refer to the "google play" app. I have not seen a google play app. All I have is a "market" app. Where do I get the google play app?

You need to flash a gapps archive appropriate for the ROM you have flashed on your system. Those other packages you have installed are for getting google play to work on the stock system. For a custom ROM, you just need to install gapps.
http://goo.im/gapps
Again, make sure you match the right gapps package for the system you are running. CM10 is JB, CM9 is ICS, etc. I'm not sure how the play/market packages you've already installed would affect the ROM. Just to be safe, I would just go back to TWRP, use factory reset to get back to a clean slate, reflash the ROM and then the gapps package. Then a reboot will take you straight into google's configuration wizard. Register your google account and you'll find google play ready for use among the installed applications.

Thank you!

[Q] Jellytime R28: Messenger apps not working

Hi,
This is my first time messing around with my DHD and I installed the R28 build of jellytime. Although almost everything seems to be fine. I can't seem to get IM apps like talk, skype or whatsapp working on this build.
Can someone let me know if this is a popular issue with the build or if any solution is out there cause I couldn't find it.
Pretty awesome build otherwise ! :good:
Thanks

Skype worked for me when I was using this build.
What type of error do you get if any, please explain your problem!

For whatsapp the I am not able to move beyond the verification screen where the application is supposed to send you a message. Skype also does not log in. Same issue with Talk.
Instead I get an error message for both skype and whatsapp telling me I am not connected to internet ! Let me know if I can attach an errorlog or something for your better understanding.

How did you install the ROM? Clean install? Wiped everything?

I am not very familiar with the jargon so I am just going to list out the steps.
1. Used Ace Hack kit to root.
2. Wiped Cache and did factory reset/wipe from hboot.
3. The SD Card was NOT formatted.
Just a side note and I know I digress. I have tried using blackout ICS rom as well but facing the exact same issue. Plus touch input stops working.
Thanks for replying.
Update: I was able to connect whatsapp/talk/skype using my pc's internet so I think we can assume this will work on wifi as well. The problem is now more specific to the apps not working on my data connection. Off to search !
Update 2: Found a solution. The ROM created a separate APN, had to use the other one to get everything in order.
Please refer to this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800283" :victory:

Cyanogenmod help

I've looked through the forums for hours now and according to the noob video made by xda. I'm asking for help. I have an at&t Samsung galaxy s3 with the CyanogenMod installed (as the title implies) and to be honest its not worth the hastle. I'm having problems left and right. First off, the camera app that comes with the phone is missing. Or if theres a custom one. Its not included. I'm aware that I can find and install an external apk but I'll get to the problem with that in a bit. I followed very detailed instructions on installing the cyanogenmod and gapps and everything was fine (stable version) but the notifications suggested I update the mod so I did. Now I have the camera but my play store will not work. It opens for a split second then closes. Also, the file manager is gone. So I downloaded multiple file managers and it seems after first use that they can no longer open anything. I can't even access the files. I checked the superuser allowed and disallowed apps and everything seems fine. Now with the apk problem. Almost any apk I download will not install on my phone. Sorry for the erratic problems just jumbled everywhere in this post but I'm using my phone to write this so its a bit difficult to organize. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated. A link to a post already like this (which I couldn't find) or a link to a tutorial maybe or troubleshooting these problems. I will delete this post as soon as I find a solution so I don't use up space on the forums with a somewhat personal problem. Thanks in advance!

Go in application settings and delete your play store's data/cache. That should fix it.
Without it, it's kinda hard to install apps unless you sideload. If you do sideload, you need to allow it in your settings (security I believe).

if you're using the stable version of CM
you might have to go to Date & Time setting
and fix the date on there in order to make play store works
and everything you say about camera, it is weird indeed because not only CM, every rom out there should include a camera app
if that problem still exists for you, you might want to clean/wipe everything, from cache to system and then flash the rom again

Thank you guys. I tried wiping the cache and it still didn't work. I don't mind side loading which is what I've been doing but its not ideal. I can only search for the exact app(s) I want rather than exploring via play store. Also, you guys didn't mention the problem with the file managers not working after first try. If you have any feedback it'd be great. I would like to keep the cyanogenmod but its just not worth the time and effort (opinion). If I can't fix the problem or find a solution I'll just go back to my phones stock UI because even though I think flashing ROMs is awesome. It really isn't worth frustrating myself with something that's an option and not a necessity. Thanks in advance for feedback.

the file manager part is really weird.
if you clean install, especially the stable version, everything should works just fine
however, it sounds like bad install though
how about this this
Download Titanium Backup and wipe data + cache for file manager only and see if it works
if not, try the longer way
download stock att rom(4.1.1)
go to recovery, wipe everything
go to download mode
flash stock rom with odin
restart to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache
root the phone
Re-Download CM10 stable
go to recovery, wipe everything, including System
flash cm10
reboot and see if everything works

Yeah I've tried a factory reset. It only deleted my user data not really resetting the phone. Thank you pcchano (sorry if I got name wrong) I'll try and erase everything and reinstall from scratch but its not my first time using custom ROMs so I'm sure I did it right but I'll give it a go. Also, someone told me that I need to completely wipe any data associated with Google wallet before I root or else play store will not work. Has anyone tried out this theory or know anything about it? It doesn't make sense to me seeing as wallet is saved server side beside the basic user data stored on the phone. But please let me know. You guys are all very helpful thanks for the feedback.

Also, I've never had to wipe dalvik before? Could that be my problem? I also noticed that when I updated cm the info panel said 'experimental' even though I chose the stable version to start with? Could some of these problems be associated with cm rather than blaming it on my phone? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

i have like 2 s3 using CM10 stable version and no problem with it (other than the play store wouldn't connect due to the date in setting wasn't correct) while I myself am using CM10.1 and other than the bugs that come with CM10.1 or google source code, it is a functional rom
so i would rather say, it is your phone
and you should always wipe dalvik cache along with cache partition before flashing new rom.

OK pcshano thanks very much. I'll just erase everything and start from scratch. Thanks everyone who helped me. This forum and you people are awesome. I'll delete this post as soon as I reinstall the ROM to make sure it worked. Thanks again!

The stable cm is of the 10 variety. The experimental builds are 10.1 if I'm not mistaken. In which case you should only need to flash the appropriate gapps package to get the play store functioning and camera as well. The file manager issue I don't know beyond the external sd card being a bit sketchy on 4.2 builds. Are you using an external sd card? Start with a fresh flash of 10.1 if you want to go with that, flash a 4.2 gapps zip and see what happens from there.

[Q] Lost and dont know.

I have a ATT Note 2. I flashed a new Rom on it and some of my core apps didn't work. Message was a "app not installed". So then I tried another ROM and the I got several failures like goodle play, google mail, goodle sound and talk. Sometimes my texting would stop working. I tried to go to the cloud but continued to get network not working for that and maps also. I flashed a 3rd ROM and the same things I am currently on the NOTRtoriusrom now. I tried to reinstall the gapps zip file. No change. I do have some function of my phone. Different things stop work at various times. I cant download any apps or my back-up cause I cant get into play store. I would very much appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
Thanks Billy

I would suggest using one of the newer ROMs, such as the international port available for our devices. It runs super smooth and even has a nice AOSP theme to go with it.
Also make sure that you are performing full wipes between ROMs, as some of the symptoms you have described are that of an unclean flash when switching ROMs. Losing user data sucks, but comes with the territory of being apart of the moding community.

there is no " NOTRtoriusrom" for this phone; you probably flashed something not for this phone, and thats why you are having problems...

Yes there is

sounds like you are just dirty flashing everything.
my suggestion is have the most up to date CWM or TWRP recovery and make sure you factory reset and wipe everything before flashing a rom.
I would suggest flashing one of the TW roms like Novella, Jedi, and Cleanrom cuz its just one zip and you should be good to go after that.
