DO A NANDROID BACKUP and wipe BEFORE TRYING

And also: Although it should be safe, do this only at your own risk. I am not responsible if anything happens.

Whats a framework? and what does it do?

[Guest igor_anta]

What phone.apk do you have? Can you add the one from the RBM rom? It's the best looking by far and has T9 built in. I guess the contacts.apk go hand in hand with that one? Cheers!

I cant get Market Enabler to work, are you sure it works on v2.1 pulse? Whats best way to test it.

eiyuch!!! I hate that magenta look!

[Guest whackster]

Does adb push do anything different, other than simply copying the apks using Root Explorer? e.g. I'm overwriting the callendar app with the vanilla one, and it disappears from the drawer. Also it won't install...

Is there an extra step I'm missing, or is android keeping a log of all the apps?

[Guest flip360]

cannot import contacts from sim force closes all the time

[Guest Simon O]

I'm getting a lot of force closes with com.google.process.gapps

[Guest Richard_Arkless]

I think the force closes are down to ContactsProvider.apk not having an odex file with it in the app folder

EDIT just replaced the files with the files from the previous version and now it works fine

What previous version? The r6 based one?

[Guest andreass4]

have the same problem with syncing contacts!

the rest is really good work :(

[Guest zerosignull]

Sh4d0w940:

Did u re-gen the framework resource file from the official 2.1 release or are you still using the old one from the beta ROM's?

[Guest DanWilson]

Market wont download anything! :(

gapps force closes! :(

Everything else works, I think. :o

[Guest Richard_Arkless]

What previous version? The r6 based one?

Yea what shadow must have done was copy all the apps from the previous version r6 to r7 and missed out the odex

I didn't change the framework, instead I linked to that framework topic because those frameworks are better then vanilla.

They have a visible clock and don't give any problems so no need to regenerate the framework.

If you change an apk file you have to remove the odex file or make a new one. I choose to remove it so the phone creates them at first boot.

Missing odex files are no problem, you don't need them.

Oh ok, I hope this helps the ones that have changed from the previous release are ContactsProvider.apk, DownloadProvider.apk, LiveWallpapersPicker.apk, Settings.apk, SettingsProvider.apk, Vending.apk. The rest are the same apk's, so I would look at the apks that have changed first

Hey I can't mount mtdblock1 into /system to install the framework. Says: device or resource busy.

Ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind, mounting directly in adb without shell works;

happened to me quite a few times, finally got it working by doing umount /system or something similar... not exactly sure what worked, adb remount didn't want to work at all

[Guest MarcusHenrique]

Hey, So I've pushed back everything Richard says it's different but restoring contacts with sprite backup still fails =/
