Motorola Droid :: Applications Need To Be Installed For Upgrading?
Sep 7, 2010
I have been reading about different ROMs, kernals and themes that have been posted on this site and they all sound very interesting and I have finally decided on what I would like to try first. I used the directions from here to force install the latest Froyo which is awesome and the directions were very nice. So I am hoping to get some guidance for my next adventure with my phone.
I want to install the newest version of Liquid Frozen Yogurt with the Tangerine theme along with one of Slayhers kernals. What all apps do I need to install the above items? And I know the instructions are all out there on how but could someone either point me to the specific ones that I need or paste them here for me? I am doing this to a Moto Droid.

This dude helped me root and then install 2.2 all through PM! Had a couple issues that wouldn't have got through without him, and he also explained a lot of the terminology for me! Now pulling high 1500 quadrant scores. Time to get to freezing apps, and all the other rootie goodness!

I want to upgrade my SGS2 to ICS using one of the official firmwares, but I want to be able to restore certain apps and their associated data.
I can use Titanium Backup to backup and restore apps currently.
If I backed up these apps, upgraded to ICS (with a wipe install) and tried to restore these apps, would everything work out, will there be some gotchas due to changes in the Android versions?

I'm trying to programmatically determine what audio applications are installed on an Android phone. I'm able to enumerate all the installed applications, but don't yet see a way to figure out which ones are capable of playing audio? What property of the application would have to queried to determine if is capable of playing audio?

I currently have BB 0.9 and i want to upgrade to NexBeast 1.0. So my understanding is that NexBeast is based off of BB1.0. Does that mean I can upgrade to nexbeast 1.0 from BB 0.9? How is this different from installing a new rom? I have also never tried to upgrade from one build to the next, how would i go about doing this?

I've been thinking about upgrading to the X seeing as I epic failed finding the Missing phone in Boston after sitting right next to the guy who was giving it away before they gave out the final clue .
My upgrade date isn't until next year, if i call CS is there anychance they will allow me to upgrade at the $199 price or am I SOL? and if they do and i order it over the phone can I have them just add the cost to my next bill or will i have to pay over the phone? I've actually never upgraded my phone before, the first real cellphone i bought on my own was the iPhone 3G and didn't upgrade to the 3GS because it was crap and ended up switching to Verizon and the Droid when it was released...

I don't think this has been asked before in this forum, but if it has, I apologize for repeating... Just like many of you probably are, I am in need of more storage. 14 GB is evaporating fast, and I'm not sure the SD card is upgradable yet. I don't fully understand exactly what an SD card does besides provide storage (ie: does it function as a hard drive, etc). Basically, how are those who are upgrading their SD cards doing so without having to reload all your apps, re-buying apps you paid for, and having to otherwise completely set up your Droid all over again from scratch?

I got fed up with my music player constantly skipping/phone lag on my Eris and got a VZW manager to approve a early upgrade for me. I was thinking should I go with the Droid X? I wanted some current owner's opinions before I drop $200 on it.Currently I mainly use my phone for:
1. Texting- I send hundreds of texts a day.
2. Web Surfing- I spend a lot of time on-line google, news..etc
3. Picture taking- I love to snap photos of friends and travels.
4. Talking- I maybe use 500 min a month if that. I text a lot due to working in a call center.
5. Mp3 player- i use my phone in the car and at work so i can have good music rather than the crap work plays on the speakers to listen to.
Considering these points do you think it would be wise to choose the X?All input is welcome and appreciated.

side note: i posted this in the moto x forum too. Thought i'd post here since i know alot of you tried to switch out your order for the droid x.Waited since june 4th for my incredible to get here by my promised ship date of 6/25. 6/25 passed and while calling to bitch about the wait, they said i could swap out my order for a droid x. That i could just have them cancel my incredible order and preorder the x. I did it. She said she didn't have a confirmation number for my preorder or anything but that she would text it to me the next day (this was sunday, so the text would've come monday). Well, it never came. So i called verizon last night to confirm my preorder of the x and they said they saw it in the system and all was good.
Just a few minutes ago i got an email saying my droid incredible has finally shipped. WTF?! The incredible was all i could think about for weeks and weeks and it didn't ship. Now that i have another phone in mind, it finally decides to ship? So i call 611 and she tells me i can reject the shipment, BUT...that "the other reps that told me i had a preorder for the x were wrong. I don't. Because nobody can preorder the x from verizon and that i'd have to wait until it's release on july 15th to order it."what the hell is going on? I'm gonna call verizon back a couple more times and see if i get different answers. But really, their inconsistencies are giving me a headache

I picked up my Droid 2 this past Saturday, and immediately ordered a 16GB Transcend Class 6 micro SD card for it. To install it, I plugged my Droid into my PC (Linux machine), un-hid all the hidden files, copied them to my desktop, then disconnected the Droid, took the stock card out, plugged the new card in, and copied the files back. After a reboot of the Droid, everything seemed OK.The problems started while copying songs onto the Droid. The copy process froze, and ever since, the phone had problems with this card. It's sluggish, and hangs on shut-down.Is there a proper way to upgrade to a new card that I don't know about? The guys at the Verizon store didn't have any ideas.

If I already upgraded my Droid X Unrooted phone to Froyo 2.2 with an earlier version I assume I will have to roll back to 2.1 to get the automatic update tomorrow. Is there a way to wait for one of the android sites to get the latest version, download it and do the upgrade myself? If I have to roll it back, what is the best way to do it?

Is that a lot? Also, related question: when we get Froyo, can we move/install/run apps from the SD card?

I just went to the market this morning to see if there were any updates in the downloads option, but didn't see any, which is odd since I haven't updated any apps in 2 days. So I checked appbrain, and at least two of the applications I have installed have been updated. There's either something wrong with the market, or my phone. Is anyone else having this issue?

Got several issues on my Dinc when I booted this morning. Here are all the symptoms I see:
1)None of my downloaded applications are recognized as installed-I only see the factory-installed apps in the app launcher
2)Settings->Accounts&Sync gets FC (com.htc.settings.accountsync)
3)Settings->Applications: While I do see all my downloaded apps in the list, the icons don't load for them, and when I click one, I get an FC on com.android.settings
4)Phone storage/SD Storage numbers look good
5)When I boot, the notification bar shows "Preparing phone storage", followed by "Preparing SD Storage" as it normally does, but the Sync icon only flashes for a second.
I'm running stock 2.1, no root...just a normal every day phone user. Was reading articles with the Time Magazine app prior to shutting down for the night. Had plenty of battery left, so I didn't even plug it in.

Since rooting and using custom roms, I've been using the apps2sd facility the this offers, however If I want to install certain apps to the phone memory rather than my SD card, is it possible to do this at all? I've not yet been given the option of doing this at all.

The last update to File Manager included an applications manager too. It enables you to backup* and uninstall applications.
On the applications list 'Maps' is in there twice, both 4.3.0 installed on 2010-07-06 and both 4102KB. Would I actually have two copies installed? I'm not that keen on the idea of uninstalling one to find out for obvious reasons! this seems to put them onto the SD card which is quite useful

My new android phone comes with a few pre-installed applications that I do not particularly need. I have some very basic questions
1) Because they are already there they seem to have a special "status", compared to all the other apps that I download. When I try to backup/restore using AppBackupRestore, those "special" pre-installed apps fail to restore. I cannot "uninstall" them from Settings/Apps. Ideally I do not want to have to re-download the whole world after a factory reset, and I depend on the AppBackupRestore to keep the latest copy of the app in local memory where it can be re-installed from.
2) What happens if I delete one of these apps from the system/apps directory? Will the app then magically disappear? Or will I need to do a factory reset in order to get rid of it?
3) Does it really matter if there are many pre-installed applications, if I do not use them? I mean they do not use any CPU so is the gain only cosmetic ?
4) Assuming I can delete any apps I want, which apps *must I not* delete? Are there any special applications that I will not be able to download from Google Play

What apps are you guys keeping on your Evo? I had a lot of apps installed until I realized the shortage of Internal Memory. I still have a lot but I use these apps all the time.
1.) Droid Dictionary
2.) IMDb
3.) ShopSavvy
4.) Raven News
5.) Quick App Clean Cache
6.) Handcent SMS - I would like to remove this app but it's cleary better than stock.
7.) Bat'Riz 2.x
8.) Estrongs File Manager- I was using Astro, but Estrongs seems to be smaller and a little more simple to me.
9.) Google Buzz Widget
10.) Pandora
11.) USA TODAY
12.) Zedge Ringtones
13.) FeedR News Reader
14.) RepliGo Reader

I would like to launch some applications, like the Calculator, the alarm clock, the notepad, the calendar, the camcorder, the camera, the dialer, etc, from my application. Is there an easy way to do that? Is there any place with a list of what are the intent names to launch them?

How to get a list of all installed applications and then pick one to run.
I've tried:
CODE:..................
And this only shows application that are preinstalled or can run the ACTION_MAIN Intent type.
I also know I can use PackageManager to get all the installed applications, but how do I use this to run a specific application?

I am trying to get gps going on my phone. I downloaded GPS Status. It says it is installed and I can't find it anywhere. How many apps can I install. I have 3 pages and they are full of the bogus verizon stuff and so does that mean I can't install any more.

So I have a general question about manually installed applications, and more specifically, beta applications.
If you manually install a beta version of an application, can you install later release versions for that application as updates from the market? Or do you have to uninstall the beta version, then install the market version? I realize that you don't get update notifications, but I'm not concerned about that. I check the market regularly.
The reason I ask is I would prefer to not have to configure applications twice (specifically Touchdown).

I am getting a Desire next week. How many apps you can install on the internal memory without 'rooting' it? I'll probably install a lot of apps when I get mine next wednesday (I already have made a list of over 30!) and I would really like to avoid rooting it as it will probably void the warranty and I am not sure I could do it anyway - even after reading the step by step guide a few times over. How many apps have you all managed to fit in before getting the memory low message that some have reported?
