Problems with Market and WhatsApp - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I'm just new in the Android world. I just acquired an HTC Tattoo and an Xperia X8.
In the X8 I have the n4n kernel with latest nighly cyanogenmod (20)
In Tattoo I have the stock kernel with latest nighly cyanogenmod (22)
With the Tattoo I don't have any problem.
But with the X8 I can't access to the Market (latest installed version 3.4.4) . I also tried with older markets (3.1.2, 2.2.x). When I try to open the app, it don't open. It ask to create an account and it don't make anything after that. Also tried with mini CM 2.1.9.
And with WhatsAPP it just don't install (yes I have third parties apps enabled)
Can somebody help me, please?
Thanks

Hello, I tried wiping all data and nothing. I don't belive that changing the ROM is the solution, remember I'm trying with two ROMs (CM-Nighlty-20 and miniCM 2.1.9).

Hello, what do you mean?
I have google talk installed and more google apps. For example, Google Mail is working fine.

Search for this zipped file ( gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip ) and flash it using cwm

if you use titanium backup you will see that there are plenty google apps installed,if by any chance you unistall one of those you may not be able to access the market but if you havent unistall any of this then your problem doesnt have to do with that....

Hai,
This happen to me in a while.. You should try fullwipe and reflash the rom again,
DO NOT FULLWIPE AFTER FLASHING -- it might happen just bcause of the wipping.. I found few bugs after wipping GDX regarding apk instalation but maybe its just me
Anyway GingerXperia and Gingercruzt has build in active launcher on them...
Best of luck

[NEW IDEA] CWM Backup on other phone

So I had this little problem.
I have a SGM and running CyanogenMod 7.2.0 rc2 by mebitek and I think I will stick with it for a long time. It is the most stable one for me so far...
Lets jump straight into the problem. My brother also bought a Mini and he wants to have the same ROM as me with the same apps installed and all....
I had this idea....
To backup my rom, flash clockwork in my brother's phone and than copy the backup folder of my phone and put it in his sd card/clockworkmod/backup and than reboot in recovery and restore the backup....
Will it have all the apps installed and will the cm rom be flashed ???
Please some "experts" reply....

Wait rc2???

It should work, but that way he will also have your google account linked to his phone, unless you make a clean install first, don't add account, install apps from apk and make a backup.
and we have also a way to remove account without data wipe so no problem

That's great, why don't you share it then?
just cut paste all the account related apps like Google login service and all sync adapter to any other place then reboot and copy all the apps back to /system/app and you are done

Google for it, working like a charm.
wipe data/chache -> flsah -> wipe data again [no reason for not to work then ]
I think you can find this in the cm7 flashing tutorial too.

Root v20q

Hello,
first of all I used the search and read many different threads! Anyway I couldn't find the answer to my questions. I only got more confused as I already am
I want to use the Zeus rom v6.39! I don't have root or anything. Now my question: I have v20q and want to know if I can do it as described with v20o or v20n and also use the rom?
If possible you could post the links to detailed how tos because I'm new to all that root and rom stuff:angel:
Hy luke. I have the same question and intrests about roms and root for the lgob.
I think that we could make a downgrade with smartflash to the v10a version, root it with gingerbreak and than we can install every rom that we want.
One problem: i don't know if a downgrade works with the smartflash tool and v20q. I recently asked the dev and post a question in the right thread.
Hope that we success together

1: Flash back to v10A v.i.a Smartflash tool
2: Root with gingerbreak
3. Download ROM Manager
4. Flash CWM
5. Reboot into recovery
6. Install ROM
Before Installing, Wipe data/Factory reset, Wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache --> Advanced-->Wipe Dalvik Cache

Hey guys,
follow this advice to install a rooted GB on the OB. This works 100%, I have done this quite a lot of times on different OB versions (also coming from a newer base, e.g. V20n).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23833005
After this, you are rooted V20o and have CWM. If you want to install a custom rom afterwards, think about putting the rom on your SD card before doing the procedure above. With this way you will save some time...
Thanks
Hi, thanks. I'll try your soultions.
Hope that erverything works fine.
greetings

Ok thx guys! If you tell me where I can hit the thx button I will do so...
Is there any method to save my data and apps effectively? And how exactly do I put on the rom after I gained root?
"3. Download Superuser.zip and copy it in root of your SD-cart!! DO NOT EXTRACT!!" does that mean I need to have root already when I copy it on my SD cart?
The app appadmin (don't know if it is still available in the store) help you to backup all your apps.
Your contacts and phonebook can be easily synct with your google account. (Phonebook_settings_export contacts)
You can backup your sms with 'backup&restore' from the market.
No, you don't need root to put the superuser apk to your sd card. That means maybe you can creat a folder called "root" with the superuser apk in there.
Can you please tell us if you managed it to get root?

I still have a question
I do have zeus v6.39 now! but it doesn't look exactly like the pictures. e.g. the status bar looks like the same old android bar and not like its supposed to with zeus...
any suggestions?
Sure that you installed zeus rom? Pls look at phone settings_phoneinformations_last entries(here should you read zeus kernel or version number.
Are you on the zeus rom?

yes it says zeus 6.39 I also don't have a bar to slide down... phone app looks the same as well.
Hm maybe you sould reflash the rom. Don't forget to make a data/factory reset in the cwm recovery. You also sould before installing the rom clear devlik and cache. Hope it works

It worked. My problem was that I only installed the update and not the v6.3 rom
But now I do have a last problem:angel: My GPS is not working at all.

v4.1.2 JB ROM's Issues

Hi Folks,
I have flashed kallt_kaffe's rom located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28871951&postcount=1
Everything worked except these:
I can't see my galaxy tab anymore on 'my computer' when I connect it via usb. Also Kies can't recognize the tablet.
I have flashed gapps however not everything installed along with it. Google Maps is missing for example and when I try to do a voice call through Gtalk, it shuts down immediately.
What would you suggest?
Just found the solution to the first issue: Enabled MTP device via storage settings.
However looks like Gapps does not install properly; Google Maps is missing and voice/video calls in Gtalk won't work
Re-download gapps and re-flash it. It may be a bad download.

I did it like 5 times and still won't work.
Also checked the files if they are in place through ES file explorer and they indeed were.
Tried to install some of them and got 'install failed' error...

Uninstall gtalk and then reinstall. Get maps and gtalk from the store. That'll probably solve your problem.

More importantly, I wouldn't commit to that particular ROM, as the developer abandoned it without warning almost two months ago.
I did it uninstall and then reinstall and it still did not work, so frustrating.
Very strangely, when I accessed the Maps through the store app, it told me that it was not available in my country??
and later I was able to install it through the browser.
Plus when I chose 'all the apps from Google', I could see only the one third of all their apps.
I can't figure this out... only for this I could go back to stock ICS.

Try android 4.2.1, it's a dream on this tab...
Thanks for the suggestion. I found the solution to the Gapps issue, just replaced the Gtalk from an old Gapps package and it worked like a charm.
Anyway is that ROM stable yet?

I'm using C-o-M's unofficial CM 10.1 and it's simply amazing. It's breathed new life into my tablet and I no longer feel the urge to run out and get a Nexus 10 just to have the latest version of Android.
