Any fix to "download error "using skyfire browser?thanx a lot!

Hi folks,

I’m having major problems with the market and I would really appreciate some help. When I download an app, the app downloads fine but I’m hanging on the install. I’ve had this issue with multiple roms and multiple kernals. I’ve tried wiping data/cache AND all partitions except SD while in clockwork recovery and installing copies of various rom’s directly while in recovery, with no luck. There have been a couple rom’s that have let me download and install all my apps fresh but eventually they start hanging on app install as well. To make a bad thing worse, I can’t uninstall apps either. I’ve had this going on for awhile now and it’s killing my enjoyment of my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
DM

I am posting this as a nandroid backup. I have put together the 2.2 froyo rom with the p3 1100mhz oc kernel, Blue energy theme, simply stunning Battery Icon and the Market fix w/Busybox. Also if you scroll down I am providing links to download the wireless tether, tube droid youtube downloader, the new siriusxm.apk and, flash player 10.1. You can find them below the instructions but, first things first…You must install rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery. Then be sure to install titanium backup and backup all of your apps.

Download FRF84B(This is the newest froyo release includes LV chevyno1 1200mhz kernel):MEGAUPLOAD – The leading online storage and file delivery service

Download FRF57(This is the original Froyo release includes LV 1100mhz p3droid kernel):MEGAUPLOAD – The leading online storage and file delivery service

Extract to your desktop.
copy the 2010-06-26.17.28.10 file or the FRF84B file to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data twice
go to nandroid
go to restore
go to 2010-06-26.17.28.10 or the FRF84B file you downloaded.

When phone is rebooted you should be running your already themed 2.2 build. Now go to the market and sign in, download and install titanium again and then restoe all of your apps. before using titanium you will have to go to settings/applications/allow unknown sources..then development usb debugging.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE OR IF THE WORLD EXPLODES AND YOUR DOG BITES YOU……ALWAYS ALWAYS PERFORM A BACKUP BEFORE ATTEMPTING THINGS LIKE THIS..

As promised here are the links for our favorite apps…
wireless thether: MEGAUPLOAD – The leading online storage and file delivery service
Flash player 10.1:MEGAUPLOAD – The leading online storage and file delivery service
Sirius XM App:MEGAUPLOAD – The leading online storage and file delivery service
The best youtube downloader app that was pulled from the market "TubeDroid":MEGAUPLOAD – The leading online storage and file delivery service

All of those are .apk files so you can install them by going to the market and getting "androzip" then selecting those files on your sdcard and selecting install. make sure you have your phone set to allow unknown sources. menu/settings/applications/unknown sources.

Now come the thanks…dancedroid
Thanks to p3Droid(oc Kernel)
Thanks to roberj13(Blue Energy w/simply stunning battery)
Thanks to Titans (his thread is where I originally found the market fix w/busybox) here is a link to his FAQ thread:How to: Get the most out of the Froyo ROM / FAQ’s
And Much Thanks to Droid Forums for giving us this wonderful place to find and relay cool info. I believe that websites such as this one are extremely important in the Android Education of the masses.

If you would like some screen shots to view roberj13’s Blue energy theme you can go to his thread:http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/49656-blue-energy-theme-froyo-android-2-2-a.html

So I talked to a Guy today at a tint shop who said to come here and download a file and it would configure my phone differently and make it faster his was 1gig I think and allows you to use the Droid a a wifi spot among other things any one know what this download is?If so could you please post a link so I can download it?Thanks in advance Nathan

Hello everyone,

I’ve got a text message with a link for a ringtone, and when I click on the link, it just plays the song. How do I save the link or download the file? I tried hitting the menu button both when the text message is open & when the song is playing, but neither seem to offer a download option…

I tried searching in here for the answer, and actually found someone ask the same question referencing the same site, but I didn’t see a reply. I think the question got lost since it was a pretty long thread…

Any help is appreciated…=)

Good morning Droid fans.

I just picked up the T325 hands free speaker phone from Best Buy.
I am trying to download my contacts into the box and I get the message "Download Failed" every time I try to sync them up.

I confirmed the message in the status bar to accept the request. The light flashes during the transfer and after about 30 seconds I get the failed message.

Any thoughts before I return it to Best Buy? I figured both phone and HF are by Motorola so what could go wrong? Haha, go figure.

When in doubt, hit up the experts.
Thanks in advance

Mike

So when I go to system updates, it shows Update 2.1 downloading…but hasn’t made any progress since I received the notification email at 8 pm yesterday.
