Ok im not sure if this should be posted here or in themes but here is my problem
Will it seems like when ever i try to theme Launcher.apk it doesnt work.
I reboot the phone and then i just get the android loading screen, but i can still get calls and the phone works as normal just without a Launcher app.
So what i want to know is what could cause this?
i themed it before and made an update.zip theme and that works but now its not working even using MetaMorph does the same thing.
*more info*
Then I used openhome to get to subf and tried to install launcher and it gives me cannot be installed on this phone error.
Im runing a rooted 1.6 i believe it was basic off of cm41 i know its old.
did you follow the theming guide?
yea i themed 1.5jf and a few cm builds and never had this problem ,
even theme the build i am on now. But i am trying to change it and thats when i am getting this problem.
Its like when i change something on Launcher.apk it just seems like it doesnt install any more.
I've even themed the Launcher.apk reziped and adb pushed it and still same thing.
I got nandroid backups so its no problem just trying to find out why this is doing this so i can move on an get it to look the way i want.
fiy im only changing app drawer background and the tabs.

So you resigned and everything?
Oh but what rom are you using?
You can't just re-sign one app and push it.. all the apps (except the google ones, which can't be touched) need to have matching keys. The theme guide should tell you which apps need to be signed together.

When i made a couple of themes i used 7zip to open and photoshop to modify certain apps and the framwork.Then when finished rezipped folders then signed.
I downloaded it long ago dont remeber who made its say
kernel version 2.6.29.6-cm41 dan2Sunnyvale )
build number DRC83
Its a ADP 1.6 that was made when 1.6 launched im thinking of switch to another build but had this problem when i did that before.
And yes apk has been resigned the same way i made my theme update.zip
I used the same temple just changed like 2 .png in launcher resigned everything
reboot phone flash. same problem
adb push. same problem
used MetaMorph droid app drawer. same problem
MetaMorph Stock-App-Drawer. same problem
So its not in the signing its something to do with changing the launcher.apk then it no longer wants to work.
hell i even deleted the <packages></packages> info for launcher rebooted and try again and still no luck.
Im going to switch enom build later on and see what happens but i had this problem before with launchers on other builds. Its like I can only theme it onces then it no longer works.
thanks to all that read this i know its long but i cant wrap my head around why all this is happening

Wow thats pretty ancient, it usually says dersert labs or cyanogen and maybe twisted?.
Yea I know its old I need 2 upgrade just haven't felt like redoing the phone, but on another note I tried the metamorph android2.0-stock and every single apk work but lanucher and I didn't try framework. But ill probaly update 2 morrow or 2 night and see if I still have this problem.

I got this app from the market today. It actually works rather well, and there is no force closing that i have experienced so far. I have tried it with dict on and off and all 3 keyboard styles. One thing i do like about it over the hero keyboard is the difference in the haptic feedback.... the hero one has a strong vibration and the touchpal has a sort of softer one that is just enough to let you know your touch registers... anyone else tried it out? I know the touchpal keyboard was in a few of the ROM releases and themed ROM releases, maybe you guys can delete that one and download this one to avoid the FC...
I just got it from the market, and I get a ton of FCs
Bummer, I can't even use it all.
i cant get it to install keeps saying package wasnt signed or some bull...
weird... let me pull it and see if i can post it here with the language pack...
I found it too laggy on my Hero
here is link for touchpal- http://sharebee.com/bb36265d
language pack- http://sharebee.com/2708b7f6
i downloaded it this morning and it has been working fine for me all day. hope this helps you guys
only thing i hate is that it keeps opening in landscape and i don't want to keep pressing shift+space over and over again to close it. Overall great VK though
i can't even install it...
i'm using Cyan's 3.6.8.1 ROM and I got a message "TouchPal could not be installed on this phone" while trying to install the main app...
Is there anybody who have met this?

Im on the same rom and not having any issues just make sure you download touchpal main first let it install then install the language pack wait until its done installing and give it a go. works like champ
ss1271 i dont know why it wont install for you. only diff ive done to my phn was a dark hero theme and changed the setting to where "tmo my account" works again.
Working for me on Cyanogen 3.9.8. Like the program, like to see what they do with Traditional Chinese pack.
Sounds like it'd be expensive though once it's no longer free.
Blah its nice but my sound still doesnt work?? and evertime its open theres an EN in the notification which annoys me. I love the swiping to use the symbols and numbers, they should make a swipe down across the entire keyboard makes it hide the keyboard. Also its messing with the HTC keyboard everytime i intsall this the settings on my HTC one reset and wont stick when i change them? Sticking with Touch/HTC_IME for now

If you were running the beta you must uninstall it. The new version will not install over the top.

thanks for ur reply.
I'm pretty sure that i've installed the MAIN first then the language pack...
and i've uninstalled (use app. management in settings) the beta version which embedded into the CM 3.6.8.1 long time ago...
but i still got a message saying that installing this program will replace another while trying to install the main app of touchpal v1.0 ...

yup
i uninstalled the beta version and then used "root explorer" to check if it has been completely deleted...
but failed again...
cant get it to stop force closing am i doing something wrong? WATAFAK? ok well is it better than better keyboard in all of your opinion?
Been using it on a stock G1 since the day it hit the market (used their winmo ver previously) and haven't had a single problem
For those with Problems installing it:
Deleting the .apk is not sufficient, you need to remove all occurences of libtouchpal also...
adb shell find / >files.txt
just search the file for "touchpal" and
adb shell rm
all findings
Had this problem with a version shipped with Palm Pre Theme (I think...)
Well i was going to grab the camera app from the dev build as i am on Jf 1.51
Well went to there site and i see
"Attention!
This update applies to the Android Dev Phone for developers only. The Android Dev Phone with its unique color and pattern can be seen here. This update will not work on the T-Mobile G1 or any other Android powered phone."
the files name is
signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-150275.zip
This isnt the file that was on there website befor it was
ADP1.5_signed-dream_devphone-ota-147201
.
So my questions are
1.) What is this new Dev img
2.) Will it really mess up my tmobile g1? I thought only different was firmware
Does the HTC ADP build contain the HTC Camera app? If that's what you want then flash a Cyanogen build, it has it built in.
Don't really know what that update will do to your phone, I wouldnt risk it for a feature already in another ROM.
yea the Cyanogen build does have it and alot of other stuff that i would like to delete from thats why im still on jf.
And i wasnt going to flash the htc dev jsut wanted to know because I flashed the old 1.5 version and now i see this one so i was wondering

What would you want to delete from Cyanogen? It's just like JF but with auto Apps2SD and some dinut stuff...
teeter , T-Mobile IM application, Amazon MP3, replace the launcher hate 5x6 icon spacing, and need to add some default audio change cpu back to stock for battery.
Is it possible to just delete and repack update i know for apk but what about adding audio plus i would hate to do that every time there was an update

Yeah, just resign the apk, or modify after flash.
Teeter and Amazon mp3 just need their apk's removed.
Battery life is hardly an issue, but you can use SetCPU (its free on these forums)
I think audio can remain on you sdcard, so it's unaffected by ROM flashes.
I think you can push back the launcher from JF to get the old spacing back.
ok on audio is there anyway to have it on the phone or can i push it to system/sd/media or something like that. I have an issue were if the phone is mounted my ring tones wont sound and thats because there on fat32 sd.
thanx for all the help

I've heard someone say will work on ext when I was skimming thorugh the Cyanogen ROM thread, so I don't know how accurate it is...
Is it possible to get the Rosie Notification Bar on a regular Android ROM without having to flash a theme or a Hero ROM?
You can replace images in the rom of your choice (I believe they will be in framework.apk), sign and flash or you can use MetaMorph from Stericson.
Good luck.
How do you sign folders?

You could just get a hero mm and only apply the framworks.apk then reboot.
Do you think you can post the link for the Framework.apk because my phones being an idiot and when I download the ROM it won't open it says it didn't download correctly and it won't open it ASTRO File Manager I get some error about Java. And what else does the FrameWork change? About the signing its for when I take stuff from one ROM and stuff from another and make my own ROM that's whyy... thanks.
Grrrr @ OP
DO NOT download hero rom and apply parts of it. You CAN NOT apply 1.5 rom parts to 1.6 rom and expect it to work unless you know exactly what you're doing. DO NOT try to sign and push anything unless you know exactly what you're doing. Do not do anyting unless you know exactly what you're doing.
For crying out loud....there is so much info out there that it's impossible not to stumble upon it. Here's my last attempt:
Go to the Market, buy and install MetaMorph from Sterickson (and yes, do buy it, don't be cheap)
Go to the Market and install andExplorer.
Go to this thread and read up on MetaMorph
Go to this thread and pick up whatever mod you need (including a black bar).
Apply and enjoy.
If you want to make your own rom you really shouldn't. Making anything requires a lot of searching and you're clearly not capable of that.
If you want to sign your own packages then do a little research such as this: http://tinyurl.com/y95sj3p
And it will answer any and all of your question.
EDIT:
RESOLVED
THANKS GREG :-D
ok heres the scoop
i first starting noticed it today when just messing around trying diffferent apps (check out "spring ball" simple but fun!) the app downloaded, but upon completion, the market.vending force closed. i tried and retried and retried and no apps would install. thinking the issue was my rom, i did a fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
-regawmod
later in the day the issue started again. fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
-regawmod
again.
-regawmod
sick and tired of reflashing, i flashed fresh 2.0d in hopes to avoid the error. flash was sucessful, had fun themeing, market worked! once again, messing around with some new apps, the issue persisted. fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
again.
-fresh2.0d
again
-fresh2.0d
GOD DAMMIT. in hopes to correct whatever the issue was i flashed damages latest, thinking, hey, its the closest to stock thats available in regards to 2.1, shouldnt have any issues. issue STILL persists.
i posted the issue in flipz thread, with a confirmation of the same issue from another user, but no fix (mondays apparently arent dev days lol; FLIPZ WHERE ARE YOU?!)
information:
i have the latest prl and flipz pri. i have stock radio and latest recovery (green nexusbear :-D). the fact is, whatever rom i flash, in the BEGINNING i am able to download all my apps, but after about a half hour, everytime i download an app from the market, it finishes downloading, then the market force closes, and the app just sits there at "xxx sucessfully downloaded" no install at all. i can still install from my SD card. at the beginning of every flash, i admit i go on a huge deletion spree via root explorer, but i have done my research and know what is safe to remove, i dont think thats the issue; maaaybe it is?
normally i would post a logcat, but i cant download and install it to post it!
anymore confirmations of the same issue, any FIXES?
tia
i hate to bump, as much as you hate to see it, but i could really use some help on this one
This happened to me too several times. There's a very easy fix
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Market -> Uninstall Updates
Ta-da If you have an uninstaller app it's even easier!

For whatever reason, there is an update being installed to Vending.apk. It doesn't do anything except for break it. Market will still work (the way it's supposed to actually), you're not really uninstalling anything.
And yes, you did

hm. i do a few metamorphs upon initial flash of a rom (namely 3g icon over ev, and sometimes a lockscreen) could one of these be breaking them?
thank for the link. running damages latest, but dear GOD do i hate the stock rosie. espresso is my flavor
btw; your the one who got me completely addicted to metamorph: THANKS! i dont think many people see the benifits of it, and its too bad. it should DEFINATLY be our main scource for theming. really strips down the elements to personalize it to YOUR needs :-D i refuse to flash updates anymore for themes lol
okokok back on topic, im going to give it a test now and report back before the night is out.
thanks a ton greg!

No it couldn't. While the Rosie morphs DO edit com.htc.resources.apk (the same place where the 3g icon is) they don't touch the status bar icons, just the Rosie pngs in drawable-port-mdpi.
Glad I could be of help

rightright make sense, dumb question; the whole IDEA of metamorph is to only edit the specific files in the .thm right? der
thanks again, and like i said, ill report back later
off to customize
:-D
ok report
i wiped and reflashed damagecontrol
i let it sit for a few before installing anything
i installed a few apps, and it went great
BUT
as soon as i downloaded and installed metamorph and applied the 3g icon, the market force closed.
going in for your fix now, greg
greg buddy your fix worked like a charm :-D
i hope to see you over at the evo portal once its released
thanks!
Has anybody gotten any themes to work on TWRP? I have tried using the TRWP Theme Manager app from the Play Store, and I have also tried using themes I've downloaded from here on XDA, and I cant get any themes to apply either way. I've renamed the downloaded .zip's to ui.zip and put them in /sd/TWRP/themes/, and even tried the "Reload Theme" option under Advanced. The theme manager app puts a ui.zip in the correct folder, too. But no matter what I do, the themes I try & use never get applied. I am using the correct .zip files for the screen resolution (400x800). Anybody get any TWRP themes to apply?
Strange, after flashing CM11, I tried the TWRP Theme Manager app again, and it works flawlessly now. Probly had to do with wiping cache is my guess...
I'm not sure if it matters, but was your stock rom deodexed when you tried?
Lol, I just noticed this thread was started the day after Christmas. Anyway, I deodexed my dad's Desire 510 last night. I'll give it a shot applying a theme and post back if anyone else would like to know if it works or not.

I don't believe that it does matter when it comes to TWRP. I just drop the zip in /TWRP/theme and hit Reload Theme and I've never had a problem. You gotta be deodexed to theme stock UI to my knowledge (never tried, CM ftw) but you shouldn't have to be in TWRP because its not apk.

I figured the same thing, especially since they're on separate partitions. OP must have done something wrong, because I installed a theme with TWRP Theme Manager just fine. I didn't try while still odexed, but I still could since I have backups.
Wierd thing, TWRP still doesn't load any themes that I put in /external_sd/TWRP/theme/. I have to put them in /data/media/0/TWRP/theme/. Won't load themes from sd even if I choose 'reload theme'. Hmmmm.......
It was like that on TWRP 2.8.1.0, and is still like that on 2.8.5.0.
I wonder why it's like that for me and not others? I'm sure it's gotta be something I'm doing or did wrong/different.

No, that's right, that's how it is for me as well. Zipped theme in the TWRP folder on the internal storage. Won't work stored on the external storage. That's normal.
