ADP builds of Android do not have TMobile apps such as Amazon MP3. This has been discussed ad nauseum if you had bothered to search.

It's a protected app. If you need it that bad that I suggest you go back to an RC build and do research before blindly flashing whatever build of Android is at the top of the forum.

If you still have the RC firmware you can just unzip it copy the amazon apk out and install it into the adp the amazon works. I dont think anyone has the IM app working though
We should have an official rc update from tmobile real soon, which will have amazon mp3, myfavs, etc...
Just open a RC33 update.zip and extract the file from /system/app. Then you can install it by adb push.
Verified as working. I just added it to the app folder of Dudes 1.1 build and then did the update and it works just great. Purchased and downloaded a song to verify.
Here it Is
http://droiddeveloper.com/com.amazon.mp3.zip
enjoy it works for me...
Really Bad,
In Germany it cannot charge my creditcard... It has enough money on it.
I have the dude's 1.5 version, and cant seem to get it running. It forces closed upon trying to open. Any thought? It is saved to my SD in the app folder.
TIA
Read my guide

TY SolemnWishing, this is how I got the app on my SD card to begin with - yours is a very helpful thread for a n00b like me. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the app to open. I am not sure how I could have messed it up - pretty simple, I navigate to the app folder on my SD and click the apk file which proceeds to install Amazon MP3. No go.
If you have any ideas on what the problem might be I would appreciate the input.
Thanks again for your great tutorial
Hmm... I assume you deleted the .zip and renamed it to .apk, what firmware are you using?
I am using firmware 1.5. Yes I renamed to apk. I wants to work, just force closes before it fully loads. I also have this problem with oi music player. It used to work, now no longer loads. I wonder if my SD card is the problem. It is 8 gb, but I am sure only like a class 2 card.
Strange. I have JF 1.5 and installed the Amazon app the normal way for any app on the G1 and have rebooted several times. The app still works. I thought if you did not push the app to the G1 it would need to be reinstalled each time you reboot the device?
Well, I am pretty positive it was my SD card - after writing my post this morning I pulled the SD card and have not been anble to get the phone back since. This thread pretty accuratly describes what is going on...long story short, i think I fried my SD card and as a result am stuck on Splash 2. I have wiped several times...

Ahh I did the same thing. Here is what you need to do, you will need to force format it. Windows will NOT detect the card, and it may even freeze your computer. Put the phone into another device, such as a palm pilot or another cell phone and format it from there. It shouldn't take very long, and when it is completed, it will likely say the memory card only has 5Kb or so of memory on it. NOW insert the card into your computer and reformat it into a FAT32 format (+Ex2 for apps to SD) and you should be good! Of course, you will need to reload all your files though. That will fix your SD card. As for your phone... you will need to completely reflash a new firmware onto it, as right now starting up your phone is looking for items on your SD card which it may need, which no longer exist.
edit: if that doesn't work, completely start from the beginning by flashing the dreamimg.nbh file for rooting.
I was able to reformat the SD card, lost all my backups of course, and had to reflash dreaming.nbh and start from scratch. No biggy, at least i still have my phone.
thanks for all the tips...once i get my card re-partioned, I will try the Amazon.apk again.

I got it to load - thanks for all your help.

No problem at all, glad I could help.
Ok so there's alot of info. regarding Internal SD card failure and Froyo.
My question is will this occur with a natural Froyo update instead of a flash ?
I have a stock i9000m - never even rooted, no lag fix, nothing.
I heard Froyo will be coming soon (im guessing via Kies?)
Will the Froyo update mess up my Internal SD as appears to be happening with Froyo Flashs ?
Also, will I lose my apps when I update via Kies to Froyo ?
thanks guys.
From what I've seen on here there is no direct link to sd failure from flashing. I think just as many have failed that were not flashed. Always possible though that a botched flash could spell doom.
An official update should not damage your phone. If it does, you should return it to bell for repair or replacement.
Many on here recommend a factory reset after update, I'm planning to do that myself. Reinstalling apps is no big deal. Takes only minutes and because they are linked to your google account you don't have to buy paid apps again.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
However, the linking to the Market account does not restore unpaid apps. These you will have to install again, and of course, you have to remember which ones these are. This could be time consuming.
In my case it took about 2 hours. I had many apps, and in some I could not remember the names: A fair amount of time was lost searching for the names.
Any easy solution to this is to back up this directory on your phone afore you reset:-
Directory: /data/app
It contains all the .apk of your apps.
use the ADB to get a shell on your phone - There are a few guides around on how to set this up. Once set-up, please use this command to get a shell:
adb shell, and then su to root:
adb shell
su
* How to backup.
Change into the directory
cd /data/app
Archive the files to a file on your SD card. In this case the archive tar file is called /sdcard/apps.tar. You can put it anywhere you want with any filename you like.
tar cvf /sdcard/apps.tar .
* Perform a factory reset.
* Restore the files.
Here you should extract the archive into a tempory directory and use a file manager like Astro to click on and then install the apk files:
Create a temp directory for the files:
mkdir /sdcard/apkrestore
Change to the directory:
cd /sdcard/apkrestore
Extract the files from the archive:
tar xvf /sdcard/apps.tar
List the file files in the dir - you will see many files with .apk extensions.
ls /sdcard/apkrestore
Install the apks
Start ASTRO file manager and navigate to /sdcard/apkrestore
Click on the apk you wish to install.
Its funny how people seem to omit this information: as if they think people only ever buy apps and never use the free ones ;P

Awesome info. I guess I will try this.
Questions. I obviously have to have a root to use these ADB commands ? I haven't rooted phone yet.
Other question, is there an easier way to back up all apps? Like what if I root ? I can get Titanium Backup Pro -- will this work? would this back up apps to my sdcard ? I have a 32gb external card too -- can I back up apps to this or no ?
Final question,
has anyone in Canada been able to do a normal, official update via kies to froyo 2.2 ?? is it avail. yet ?
I've given up trying to get full access to the Market. But I was able to find some of the apks on my Droid and was able to bring some of them over using a usb thumb drive. However, not all the apps I had downloaded to my Droid was visible. My question is do some apps delete their apks when done installing? I did have some that gave me a parse error when trying to install them on my tablet. Is there a hidden directory where I can find all the apks of the apps I've downloaded? e.g xplane, rush hour to name a few? Thanks. Or... is there a way to download the apk from Market to my PC directly? I'd be so happy if I could just get full access to google market!

The apks are usually in your data/apps or data/apps-private. You should be able to get to these directories using RootExplorer on your phone if its rooted. Then get yourself a free Dropbox account which allows you to transfer files to any device you installed Dropbox on.
Look in these two locations. In the second one (/mnt/asec) you'll see the folder name of the app and inside that folder is the pkg.apk so you'll probably want to rename after you move it.
/data/app
and
/mnt/asec/(name of app)
Have you tried these methods yet?

Reggie 777, thanks for asking this question. I've been trying to figure out the same thing and asked about it in another thread but didn't get a clear answer.
So, to the experts: do you have to be rooted to do this? I've looked in both of the locations that tcrews mentioned and don't see much, if anything. I'm using Astro FileManager, if that helps.

Astro doesn't show the files in /data and you'll need to be rooted and use something like Root Explorer. I just tried Astro and once I go in to /data I see nothing (and my phone is rooted). Using Root Explorer I see all the folders under /data and go into the folder app. I see my apps installed internally there and in /mnt/asec I see my apps installed to SDcard there.

No root neccessary to use Bluetooth File Transfer method.
I can only guess you need root for the method on the video because you do need to have an OS with GAPPS and Android market installed.
Root is needed to use Root explorer methed.
The Z4root1.2.2 app is a good tool to root without unlocking the bootloader and you can still keep your stock OS. However I'm assuming GAPPS may not work correctly with the stock TAPNTAP OS so getting full Google Android market with that OS is prolly not going to happen.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I am processing and digesting the info and playing around with the suggestions.
Thanks to sjmoreno for telling me where the apps are. And also tcrews. I would never have thought of looking in /mnt/sec. I was actually able to find the apks I was looking for... xplane. et al. Now I'm fiddling with the bluetooth transfer. Got the phone and tablet paired... connection is not working yet. But I'm still trying.
Thanks too to tekrhino for the bluetooth suggestion. Got the transfer program for my Droid. I'm learning how to use it. Seems easy to set up, but won't actually send anything... Still exploring it.
The video on the Market fix doesn't work for me because no matter what I do, Market does not show up in the running apps section of settings. It doesn't even show up in system apps. It only shows up in the downloaded section.
As they said in Galaxy Quest... "Never Give Up. Never Surrender." Thanks everyone.
I use TitaniumBackup syncing with dropbox, but really the market fix isnt hard... Running tntlite larest.
+1 for dropbox. You can also use astro to backup the apk's. They are stored in a folder named backup on the root of your SD card.
I use the program AndroZIP from the Market on my phone.
Do an application backup (part of the app) to my SDCard (it creates a app_backup folder on your SDcard)
Then, you can do bluetooth transfer, or plug phone and gTablet into PC with USB cables, wait for the drives to show up, and move the APK files over. Works well. No root required.
Since my phone is not rooted, I am not sure if this is grabing every application, but it seems to be. I was able to transfer whatever I wanted over from my phone to the tablet this way.
+1 titanium backup and dropbox.
Dropbox is handy but not necessary. Titanium is a must have purchase if you enjoy flashing new roms and don't feel like manually restoring all your apps and settings every time.
If you can download titanium to your Gtab your done. Dl titanium on your phone and backup your apps. Grab the file off your phones SD And move it to your Gtab. Open titanium on your Gtab and select the apps you want to install. You can even save app data this way and continue saved games from your phone ;-)

Make sure both devices have BTFT installed, that way you won't have any any problems with FTP OBEX protocals.
The app works great and reduces the extra steps you need to take with TB and DB with having to move apk's between the source device to your pc then from your pc to the target device. BTFT is a good source device to target device app.

I have a folder with a bunch of files that all show as 0kb that i can not remove.
Does anybody have an idea how i can get rid of these?
The story so far....
I am/was on rocket rom v2, previously i had put the google currents app on, but that was a couple of roms ago and i have not put it back.
I started having a few odd problems and realized my int sd was full. i eventually narrowed it down to a google currents folder. this was not so easy as any app that tried to scan the int sd in any way would crash or freeze. Even in manage apps it would only show details of apps from a to c any after that hung on 'computing'. i managed to delete over 5 gb from that folder, all except one folder.
Now i am left with a folder on the int sd inside the android/data folder called 'com.google.android.apps.currents' inside that is a folder 'cache' inside that a folder 'blobs.120.1184434912' inside that a folder thats a bunch of letters and numbers, inside that a folder 'att' and finally inside that a bunch of files all with single letters, numbers or symbols as there filename and all 0kb in size.
These remaining files and folders i can not get rid of.
I have tried....
Delete with root explorer and a couple of other file apps crash's or locks
Cut and paste elsewhere fail
Connect to computer and...
Delete fail
Move fail
Erase fail
Unlock freezes pc
Change permissions blocked
Re-name fail
Scanned with virus and spyware progs clean
Delete with dos fail
Factory reset fail
Factory reset with format usb crash's or locks
Flash a pit file in pc odin Still there
I wouldnt mind just leaving them there, but as i say any app that in any way scans the int sd crash's or freezes this makes the note almost un-useable.
I'm sure I've missed a few things i have tried but you get the point.
I have searched xda and the web as best i can and tried pretty much every idea I've come across.
Help !!!

it won't let you rename or delete because they reside on googles servers, that's why they are showing 0kb. u can't change permission because it's on sd card and w don't have the ability to do so on sd card. i promise a format got rid of them but u didn't notice it because google cache server put links back as your phone started. the explorer crashes because as fast as is trying to remove them the server is already putting them back. basically what im trying to say is just ignore them cause there not really there anyways.

as above, these files seem to be causing problems.
my google currents folder has a lot of these folders, but none of the files are empty.
although having said that, it may be an idea to deselect the option to have google back up your app data.
i'd also maybe try installing the currents app then (if you can) go into the app settings and clear the data.

that thread gives a good guide to getting adb installed, and gives a good grounding of what it can do. it's a bit more in depth than what you need though, all you need is to install it, add the path to the environment vaiables as described in that thread (that is an optional step but it makes things much easier)
the path you'll be looking for is /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.currents
be sure to remember that the case of the letters in the linux (and therefore android) file systems is vital - ie mnt/sdcard/Android is an entirely different folder than mnt/sdcard/android.
so basically once you've your note connected (with the screen unlocked) open a command line and type (minus the quotes) "adb devices"
it should (hopefully) list your note in there.
then type these commands in order, being careful to observe the correct case when typing filenames or folder names.
adb shell
rm -r /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.currents
it could take a while if there are a lot of files. once it's finished, you should be back to a line with a flashing cursor, then just type exit and it should take you back to your standard windows command line.
i would try taking off the "back up my settings to googles servers) and installing currents and wiping the data first though.
OK time for an update.....
Aroma file manager same as all the others, it either freezes or crash's out altogether.
I have already deselected back up to google, no effect.
I have already tried re-loading google currents and populating it with fresh downloads. Then clear data and un-install, no effect.
Finally took me a while to get adb set up and working, but............
wait for it............................................................................
No effect !!
It starts the process, and scrolls info very fast. I left it for about 20 mins and it was still going. eventually i clicked on the window and it said something along the lines of no such file or directory then endlessly scrolls att.
I appreciate the suggestions given, but i do hope there are some more.
I am completely lost with this now.

Seems kind of similar to problems I used to have in the good old Palm OS days, sometimes due to some app errors 0b files would appear on SD card, and - to make long story short - the only thing that would help was taking the card out and formatting it on the computer.
Maybe flashing with repartitioning could help?

If you cannot delete the folder with del or erase command in dos I think you have a bad block there. In this case you have to leave this folder alone.
Hi, thanx for the further suggestions
tknguyencsu leaving alone is not a good idea as it does affect how the note works. Anything that scans the int sd freezes or crash's out when it gets to that folder. for instance if i go to manage applications it will only give me detailed info on apps from A to C any after that it wont display the size of data etc, just stays on 'computing'. so i really need to get rid of this folder.
p107r0 Any idea how i try your suggestion of 'flashing with repartitioning' ?
I have done several full wipes inc usb storage, i have formatted usb storage from recovery several times also.
There are a couple of options in recovery i have not tried because i dont know what they really mean and so im a little scared to try with all the bricking thats been going on.

Lots of reading to be safe, but afair there is Dr ketan's guide on flashing LBF with repartitioning, which should be theoretically safe when performed from/over GB ROM. I'll look for the link later.

Are you still on the same ROM? Maybe formatting int sd from other one would do the trick?

Hey guys, big problem here.
I was backing up, preparing for the 4.3 upgrade. I was cleaning some files off the storage using my pc, including the weird storage folder that only contained (more) titanium backup stuff.
Well, next thing I know, my phone doesn't see any of my files anymore. They're not there on PC now either, and no root-enabled file manager can see anything. However, 9gb of space is still being used by "other"!
Please help!
If it helps, I think I broke the symbolic links. Any solution? Or have I screwed this?
There might be an adb pull command to grab all files in /media. However I don't know the full syntax. Google adb pull sd card and you should hopefully find the correct command. You might have to play with the path a bit to get it right. It's something like /data/media/ on the One.
I'm not close to a pc so can't see what it should be.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
No luck. After major research online, the files are gone - I'd have to use recovery software after performing a very long backup in order to retrieve, and there wasn't that much that I lost since the last backup, a few photos just.
More a pain in the ass really. I never would have thought that those directories could do that. Kinda dangerous.
