Quickoffice MCR 2.8

[Guest Bogor]

Hi,

I have just managed to get the MCR 2.8 installed. When I tried to go into quickoffice it now crashes and does a Force Close. I tried to do a search on quickoffice on here, however it did not return any results.

Anyone else having this problem? Is it easy to get the app again and try and reinstall it?

Thanks,

Bogor

I have the same problem with Quickoffice, plus Google Maps force closes on search. Any resolution?

Do a wipe and then reinstall the rom

Not sure about Quickoffice.

To fix Google Maps force close on search, simply download Google Maps through the Android Market. Install and overwrite your existing Google Maps app. Then run it once and try to search again. It should force close. Next uninstall Google Maps from Android Market. Download it and install again. This time searching in Google Maps will work fine.

P.S: If you're in a region where Google Maps doesn't show up in Android Market, google Market Enabler and use it to change your region settings. Restore back your original settings after you got Google Maps fixed.

Here is a fix which helped me get QuickOffice working again. It assumes that you have a working app2sd setup (including an ext2/ext3 partition on your sdcard, which holds the apps).

• open a shell using adb (device connected by USB, Windows example):
  

   cd C:\<Location where you installed your SDK>
  
   cd tools
  
   adb shell

  • inside the adb shell, copy the apk file for QuickOffice to the /sdcard/ directory (=the root directory on the fat32 partition of your micro SD card):

     cd /data/app/
  
     cp Quickoffice*.apk /sdcard/

  [*]close the adb Shell (type exit at the shell promt)

  [*]install the App Installer from Android Market

  [*]install Linda File Manage from Android Market

  [*]use the "Applications Manager" of Linda File Manager to deinstall Quickoffice.

  [*]reboot the device

  [*]use App Installer to reinstall the Quickoffice*.apk file copied to the main directory of the SD Card (it should show up right inside App Installer as soon as you open it)

  Tried this on MCR 2.9. Tested with a Gmail attachment (Word 2003 doc).

  Hope that helps, does this work for others, too?

This worked for me (and is arguably simpler):

1. In adb shell cp /data/app/Quickoffice_HTC_1.0.1.apk /sdcard/download/Quickoffice_HTC_1.0.1.apk
   
2. in Settings -> Applications, enable "Unknown sources"
   
3. In ESFileExplorer navigate to, and click on, the apk on the sdcard. This launches the package manager.
   

Subsequently I can open m$ format docs in gmail attachments

FYI, the force close was caused by a SecurityException -- quickoffice was installed without com.google.android.providers.gmail.permission.READ_GMAIL
