[Q] just flashed to ics, plenty of problems tho

i just flashed 4.0.4 ics to my A855 milestone, at first it seems that everything is working fine, but boy was i wrong
the phone feature won't work. so i assume text doesn't either. when i try to call it says "mobile network not available". in the stock froyo i remember on the lockscreen and notification pull down it would tell me my network at all times (telus canada), now there's nothing about it there.
and i tried to install the latest google apps which i found in rootzwiki, the download page was goo.im so that's legit right? i can't post the link to it because it won't let me..
all it installed was gmail, google talk, and google search. no play market. what are all the apps that come from the gapps zip?
anyways i tried to download apk installer from the browser play store, then get the play store apk file into my sd and install play store that way, but apk store just won't download for some reason, it says something like "this app will be downloaded to your device shortly" but nothing happens.

1. set Canada(Telus) baseband under Settings>Device>Advanced>Baseband selection and reboot
2. Use the gapps from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445209
Regular gapps won't do any good to Milestone because of the limited space in /system. That's why I have to provide special gapps package for Milestone - most of it is installed to /data/vendor instead of /system (as mentioned in that post I linked).
Note that if you applied the gapps from goo.im, you will have to re-apply the CM9 update zip first, then install the gapps I mentioned above.

Cant install busybox

Hi
I recently have rooted the device and it gives me error trying to install busybox
Could you help me?

Try installing the newest busybox zip via TWRP or CWM recovery instead. This worked for me when I had the same issue. Good luck

I've been having the same issue as well. All the busybox files I find are .tar.bz2
I tried to install through CWM and it won't find the file. I tried renaming the file and it will not allow me to drag it to the phone. I tried unzipping the file on my PC then rezip the file. The phone was able to see the file but the install kept failing.

Is the version you're downloading built for Android? Just grab a version from the play store. I have the Stericson version.

I actually found a solution on a different post that worked for me. Go to Google Play and download HTC ONE RW. What it does is it allows files to be written to the system. Then download BusyBox Installer from the play store. Pick the version of Busy Box you want and install. :good:

[Q] Xposed installer does not install

Hi, i have a Moto G and I did the OS upgrade ... now it has kitkat 4.4.2
After the upgrade, the Xposed Installer did not work anymore ... it was uninstalled apparently. I said "apparently" because some modules work.
So, I tried to download and install the last version of Exposed Installer ... but without success. The installer starts and run ... after some moments it says "App not installed".
I uninstalled all modules and tried again, but the Exposed Installer always shows "App not installed".
Can anyone help me ?

i had this problem before, you need any file manager and navigate to Android/data/ then you have to find the xposed installer folder and delete it then reinstall the apk

thank you so much for this !!

After upgrading to Marshmallow (Resurrection Remix) on S4 GT-I9500, the xposed apk file was not installing.
I had followed all instructions, proper .zip and .apk files, even clearing cache, etc. but nothing was working.
However, I found this solution on the net and it works!
xposed is active now.

After trying to post the message, I realised that since I am new to the forum I am not allowed to post external links.
But google "xposed app not installed" without the quotes and you will see the solution on a website (may be 4th or 5th from top) called mrad4tech.blogspot
This is what it says (credit to original author):
(1) Root enabled ES file explorer required
(2) Copy the not working .apk to system/app (retain the .apk file in original location for step 6, if required)
(3) Reboot phone
(4) You will see the application in the app drawer
(5) Try opening the app (this worked for me so I did not have to go to next step)
(6) If it force closes then install the .apk (in original location) now normally and it will work

Detaching apps from market

Like many others I don't always like the updates to some of my installed apps. Yet it is a hassle to avoid accidentally installing an unwanted update. It is so much easier to click on "update all" in Google Play instead of going through each app's update individually.
Yet I have not found a way to make an installed and purchased app safe from updating. Titanium backup's "detach from market" does not work.
May I suggest a module that would prevent an app from updating? Maybe by making its app files write only?

I think a package like that would be useful. But an easy workaround in the mean time would be to go to Google play store settings and change the automatic update to never.

I already don't allow automatic updates but it is still a nuisance to have to pick through and avoid the persistent update notifications.

I currently use Changelog Droid to accomplish this, although I'd certainly welcome a module to replace it.

Yes, that will tell me what the update changes. I'm looking for something that would "prevent" the update.

this would help me a lot as well. im sure there is a module somewhere that will detach an app from the market and it would just stop showing in the pay store updates.

I think it would help a lot of users. Titanium backup has had that feature for years but it hasn't worked for years. Every time the play store refreshes it reattaches the app.
I am not a programmer but it seems to me that if a tool made an installed app's main files "read only" any attempted update would simply fail, which would solve the problem. Wouldn't that work?
Right now, I try to avoid certain updates but if I accidentally update I use titanium backup to restore the previous backed up version. But it would be nice if it could be simpler. I don't understand why the play store insists on forcing updates.

There is some kind of workaround for this issue.
You can use Raccoon to download .apk files from the Play Store to your computer (you can also download previous app versions, search the thread for it). Afterwards, use the app ZipSigner to sign the downloaded .apk with your own key. If required, uninstall the official app version, reboot, install the newly signed .apk and reboot again. Now the update notification from Google Play Store should be gone as the app isn't signed with the same key as the official one from Play Store.

Thank you. I'll try that. Thanks for taking the time to help.

Yes, you can That's one huge advantage of the described method :good:
Google Play Store checks for the sign code, whereas Titanium Backup depends on the package name (which isn't changed during signing process).

I signed the apk and ended up with a zip file, so i flashed that and got the attached error. What am i doing wrong? Got the apk from the developer website which might be causing the issue.

You can select if you want to sign the .apk as .zip or as .apk file (.apk files are .zip files, just with another file type). Don't flash them via recovery. If you can't find the option to sign the .apk as .apk, just sign it as .zip and rename it to .apk afterwards.

Luckypatch modded playstore cant fix it back to normal

i did lucky patch on playstore to make it modded and now i cannot sign in with any gmail account or create a new one it says account name not available or says couldn connect to internet when i am on wifi. i would like to fix it so its a backup phone and i have reset it and it doesnt help. Please figure out how fix this it isnt on youtube or anything and would like to learn how to fix it.

There is an option to install original Playstore
within lucky patcher itself.
You should try that option.

if you have a connection problems after installing modded play store to fix find /system/etc/hosts put a # in front of your ip and save you will need a file explorer with root or
i did this to install on my phone root first
install busybox run an install
install lucky patcher then open toolbox (on bottom) select install modded google play store
select top version for phone with newer android
install and test reboot
that`s it done (you can uninstall this way too)
