MyFaves gone after updating to rc30 1.1 - G1 Android Development

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED
thank you to JesusFreke and all who offered advice.
I posted this in the original rooted rc30 thread, but its still an issue
After updating to the test keys with rc30 1.0 and 1.1, myfaves reports it is not installed and google calander, google reader, and my contacts won't sync with my google account, however my gmail still does.
This sounds like the same lissue people were having when they would uninstall the myfaves.obex and myfaves.apk from the /systemn/app file, as per the "uninstall/rtemove MyFaves" thread, but those files are still there.
I use myfaves a fair amount, and online managment of the contacts is up for the g1 for some reason, so I have to use my sim card in someone elses phone to change them.
Not to mention my calander isnt syncing, which is a problem.
I have dug through all the of the files I can think of, and come up with nothing. I even redownloaded the update.zip and rechecked the md5 on the old and new, and both are perfect
If anyone cant verify this issue, or help in any way, Id be very appreciative
Thanks

Have you tried re-installing the modified RC30 v1.1 update? It's possible one of the files might have got corrupted as it was copying to the /system folder.
It might be a pain, but you could also try reseting the phone (alt+w in recovery mode). You'll lose all the data on your phone, but it will stay at the same version you have installed - modified RC30v1.1
If that doesn't work, run adb shell logcat > logcat.txt and post it here. You might mess with the sync settings a bit while logcat is running - turn on and off syncing for contacts/calendar/etc.

Hey JF
Well I reodwnloaded rc 1.0 and rc 1.1 and they both seem the have the proper md5sum, but this issues existss on both
I take this to mean you have myfaves installed and I am an isloted incident?
attached is my logcat output
calander failed twice during that
ill try the recovery if all else fails.
Id rather renter data and have a fully functioning phone
Thanks

I've never had myfaves installed actually. The myfaves apk is in my /system/app folder of course, but I don't have the actual myfaves functionality. Isn't it an extra service you have to pay monthly for? I don't have the service, and I assume it has someway of checking that and not exposing the myfaves functionality when that is the case.
So it's a bit hard for me to test, because I would have to way to know whether any changes I try work or not
I'll take a look at the logcat file, and see if it sheds any light on the problem, thanks.
Is there anyone out there with modified RC30 that still *does* have the actual myfaves functionality on their phone?

I notice an error with the timezone in your logcat file.
do a
getprop persist.sys.timezone
on your phone. What does it output?

Hey JF,
You are a good lookin green machine with some green roots spread all over.
Concerning my faves. I clears the cache or tried to uninstall it after I updated to your modified rc30. I lost all my contacts .
Normally, when you add a contact, it looks through your gmail contacts but those are all gone. How do I get all that back?
Best,
Hbguy

oh i just synced the contacts and got everything back
moral of story: i think everytime you clear myFaves, it deletes all your contacts

@JF
are you using an american unit?
the myfaves icon should have been on teh home screen by deault, if it is still there, when you try to tap it, it should either open or say that the applicaiton is not installed
the proper time zone
America/Los_Angeles
@hbguy
mhm, it seems as though its tied to each other on the american verison. there was an issues where the american build would send a text to the t-mobile server every so often, so non american people with non tmobile phones were getting screwed with international texts.
its in this forumn somewhere

Yes, I have had 3 american phones. The first was RC19 when I got it, and I honestly can't remember if it had a myfaves icon on it or not. That particular phone is currently on official RC30 and it does not have a myfaves icon.
The other two phones were RC28 when I bought them, and I'm sure neither of them had a myfaves icon.
That's why I'm guessing it somehow checks if you are signed up for the myfaves service with t-mobile. If not, then it doesn't show the icon. Who knows though..

I know for a fact it is installed by default on the rc19
Because it was there when I purchased it, before I signed upo for myfaves
I'm resetting it nogoodluck to me

The myFaves app is installed on all US phones but not displayed. The myFaves app is the one that has to do with contacts. Deleting myFaves or erasing the cache deletes your contacts and you will not be able to add any.
Just curious... where is this 1.1 update? I got the 1.0 modified update but not a 1.1

Ohhh I thought google released a 1.1 you got me confused JF... I think you need to have like a thread just for your updates and maybe call them JF1.1 so we know its the cracked version.

The restore worked.
Thanks JF =)

US Number format only on adp 1.1 h

Hi everybody I have a dev phone with JFv43 adp 1.1 h rom
I live in france and I wanted to know if there was a solution to have a more european number format?
it's kinda disturbing when dialing a number to see number like
123-456-7890
Maybe I should just install an UK version but since I have a dev phone I wanted to know if I could just modify some config files
I have made a image that is a mix of holiday and RC9 which solves this, If you are intrested drop me a message.
anyway you could host on rapidshare mate?
Sorry for double post but.. Is this just JFsAPD1.1h With a rc 9 input entry method? Because i would really appreaciate been able to keep my adp to a JF ADP build but with using euro input
Because, When i tried to do this.. it just crashed on install lol
I'd quite like to know the process you went through to change to the european number system.
+1
Me too would like ADP 1.1 with UK dial pattern
Intersted !
WOW lol It's my idea !!!!
First first first !!
Hi, I have it working but not on the LucidREM (apps on SDCard) version yet, this is mainly because I dont have anything that can read microSD yet (well other then the phone and cant set up the partitions on that) I will try and get my hands on a microSD to SD thingy and put links to both versions when I have it working. Lol never knew the dial pattern anoyed anyone else but me

Oh trust me my fellow androider! You are not alone, That thing is possibly the only reason i kept wanting to update back to RC9 Alot, But Forced my self to stay on ADP I mean, I pay for a phone.. And im actually with tmobile, (Stupid. I know? Just get a G1 right.? Wrong! I dont live in a area with good T-Mobile Signal at work.. So i have to switch sims, Annoying but, Thats the only way + I wasnt Eligable for a upgrade yet.. anyhow, Less bout my life) Just to say, I'd love to be 1st in on testing this lol
(But, Is there 2 separate Versions.. I hate Having Apps on SD Card IMHO its just too much of a pain when i swap my mem card round... Mehh, Fussy? But What can i do
Anyway, Hit us up when its uploaded I'd love to see this working on my G1, Show off to my mates who think its annoying! LIKE UP YOURS DUDE!! ITS ENGLISH
Hi peeps,
Just to let you know these images are a mix of ADP1.1h and RC9 so I can't claim its one or the other they both fix the US Dialer and other local issues. A few people have expressed an intrested in what I did to make this so I will do a write up soon (its not really that intresting to be honest)
***The Links***
http://chrishowells.co.uk/JFv1.43_HolidayRC9_enuk.zip (Normal JF Image, Busybox, Latitude, Voice Search, UK Dialer)
http://chrishowells.co.uk/JFv1.43_HolidayRC9_MOD_enuk.zip (LucidREM Image, BusyBox, Apps to SD, Latitude, Voice Search, UK Dialer)
I have removed the Amazon MP3 Store from both of the images as it only works in the US and if you want a UK Dialer I assume you don't live there
I have took Terminal Emulator out of the 'Normal' Image so you can get the updated version from the market and use that that instead. I have left it in the LucidREM image because if you download it and then use the script to copy it to SD card it ends in a bang. I will at somepoint just stick the new version into to LucidREMs image so it installs from update.zip and you won't get the update available anymore.
Again thanks to JF for making all the posh images to start with and to LucidREM for adding Apps to SD Support I am currently using your lovely work at the moment
As always let me know what you think of my changes and if you have any problems with it.
Peepo
Just a quick question, will this overcome the problem I'm having with the voice dialler giving US number format and messing it all up?
haha As first tester of these images Let me tell you it worked like a charm
Since I'm french i don't use voice dialer and my english is not good enough to start speaking with my phone in english
i've just made a try it seems to be good on voice dialer.
Not tried it on voice dialer yet. I am currently on a train so would look pretty silly trying it now will let you know soon.

As far as I can tell voice dialer is showing numbers in none US format, however it's still as useless as its always been at getting the number right
thanks for the info folks. Pity the voice function isn't as good as on my Nokia N95 8GB!
Wow! Thanks
Hi ive updated from the newest adp to your uk version (normal not lucid) and im not seeing the change in the dialer.
Do i NEED to do a wipe? as i'd prefer not to.
Thanks

Not 100% sure about that one I have been changing my image so often over the past few days I've been wiping all the time. I am currently using the normal one again and I do have the UK dialer but that was after a wipe.
Had to do a wipe and then i got the new layout. Now it doesnt have any formatting. i guess thats a good thing!
Still would like to be illuminated on your process since in theroy JF will be coming out with a new version soon

Few questions! (Verizon w/MightyROM & DuskTheme)

Okay I've done alot to customize this phone and I love the end results. Just a few things bug me that I'm not sure there's a solution for. I've tried searching but didn't find anything helpful.
1. I installed Sprite Backup and even though the program works flawlessly, I've not only backed up data but restored as well, EVERY time I do a soft reset on my machine I get this error message saying something about SpriteStart.exe could not be opened. Yet I manually open it and it works. I tried their site and they say to reinstall. I've done that more than once, same issue.
2. On the screenshot attached, I really love this ROM/Theme/TF3D setup but I did all the tweaks to stop the internet push concept. I'd really like to remove any reference of it from this as well. Any ideas where in the registry I'd edit that or a CAB to do so that's already out there?
3. I also installed the inbox extender and I love it. I'm wondering if there's a way to set it into the menu in TF3D so I don't have to actually choose "Inbox" and go there to mark all messages read. It's an extra step that's kind of annoying for me.
I think that's all for now. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, let's see what we have here...
1. Sprite Backup still doesn't "officially" support WM 6.5. So, there might be some sort of inherint problem there at the moment (although I know of a lot of people that have it running fine on 6.5). If you're able to manually do a backup/restore fine, it sounds like you might have a scheduled or automatic backup set? If so, try disabling any scheduled backup and soft reset. Do you still get the error after that? Also, when you uninstalled it to reinstall, did you remove every instance of the program, then soft-reset, then reinstall?
2. Do you think your pages are still being pushed, or do you just want to get rid of the push page links on the internet tab within manila? If you like, and if you already disabled push internet, you can set up your push pages as just "favorites" and set the push frequency to "never".
3. This one has actually been asked many times before. Unfortunately no one has come up with a solution yet. It's not an issue where you can simply edit a manila file, rather it's buried in an .exe or .dll (to the best of my knowledge).
Let me know if any or all of that makes sense. Good luck!
May I ask what Dusk files you used? I'm also using MightyROM w/ my Verizon TP2, but I was constantly getting freezes and flashed back to just MightyROM.

It appears to be this one.
rotation
how do i get the screen to rotate horizontally without opening the keyboard?
thanks.
It is that one but with Spike's taskbar.
Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up flashing the Mighty ROM from scratch and reinstalling the theme leaving Sprite backup off. I'll just manually sync with my desktop.
The push issue, yeah I just wanted that to not show on the internet manilla. I guess I could create my 2 most used sites and set to never push on those. Thanks!!!
One other thing:
Since I'm on Verizon, I realize that my taskbar icon shows EV instead of 3G but I don't like it. If anyone has a workaround for changing it back, let me know.

That network indicator is actually built into the custom taskbar you installed. If you'd prefer it showing 3G, you'll need to install a taskbar that has that instead. If I can find a good one, I'll post a link.
Regarding not using Sprite backup anymore, have you ever tried using Microsoft's My Phone, or there's also Dashwire, or PIM Backup too. All easy to use and all work great.
edit: Also, I believe it's tapres.192.dll that includes the network icons. So if you just want to change that icon, this is the file you'd need to replace/edit.
I actually have PIM Backup and use it all the time but just for my text messages. I guess I was wanting a full system backup so that when I screw it up playing in the registry like I did earlier today, I can just restore from backup and it be back to where it is right now... maybe I'm not being realistic.
And the icon is built into the taskbar? I didn't realize that. Does it matter what taskbar I use as long as it's meant for Manilla 2.1 and WM 6.5?

No, you're not being unrealistic at all. Check out My Phone or Dashwire. both can backup pictures, texts, contacts, etc. I personally use My Phone... good stuff.
If you have the taskbar you used, post it. I'm no artist (really, far from it), but I can see if I can tear apart the .dll and try to edit it. No promises that I'll succeed though.
You did want it to say 3G, right?
edit: Sorry, regarding the question about it mattering what taskbar you use. Since WM 6.1 and 6.5 have different taskbar layouts, they aren't compatible with each other. Manila versions won't matter.

Haha, that is a funny (just a little). Seeing EV isn't quite as satisfying as seeing 3G when you're on the "BIGGEST 3G NETWORK" in the country!!!
Anyhow, after a little doing, this is what I came up with. Just install it (don't uninstall your current taskbar, this just adds to it) and then soft-reset. If it doesn't work for you, let me know.
Enjoy your 3G coverage... errr... icon.

I actually use and have used SPB Backup for quite some time--and it can and does all that, and then some. All though Sprite and even MyPhone are great, I have come to rely on spb backup.
You can do full or custom backups AND restores of PIM, Emails, Documents, System Data and Storage Cards. There's also a handy little sync tool so you can keep your backup .cab's auto-magically suncconfused to your desktop(or laptop). You can also restore in three different modes: New Device, New ROM, OR standard. And there's also a backup scheduler.
However, it's not free ($24, and sometimes they offer a promo code around the holidays), and as I write this I'm also on MightyROM(11.16.09) with what seems like two files from the windows library that have problems backing up--but the backups do fully restore, and I've yet to have any issues because those two files won't release during backup. Caveat Emptor.

Swype from 2.07 rom required

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

http://www.tellme.com/you
Its like Microsoft Voice Command.....maybe it is....maybe its whats included in the new WP7S, however its an app that works on 6.5 and its great, fast and I actually like it.
Take a look and watch the video too.
got a cab of it?
Right, It's USA only... HD2 isn't even on the list and not downloadable on that website.
So whats this post all about?
There is a cab available, it does work on the HD2, to a certain extent. It's from the Samsung Intrepid, which I believe is a non-touchscreen phone, so touchscreen doesn't work properly (and we don't have arrow keys to compensate).
The program promises a lot, but delivers poorly. The voice recognition is quite poor (on my Scottish accent anyway). It can dictate a text message, but you'll be lucky if it picks up anything you're saying correctly.

Thats true it doesnt work properly with non-american accents. I tried to search for La Tasca, it came back with a resualt of blackass.com ???????
I had to speak slow, but it did work eventually.
Out of interest, do anyof you have a cab for Microsof Voice Command ? I have the 1.6 version however it doesnt work on my HD2

Make sure you use the corect MVS, i used 1.6 and it killed phone, not responsive to anything so hard reset saved me.
It actually requires MVS to work correctly but as others mentioned, its not good. Unlike the Youtube demo, it barely recognised what i say on several occasions and i spoke very cleary, slow and with no strong accent etc. Needs alot more work.
does not work at all on my hd2
i installed it and it loaded initially, then when i try to start it, it doesnt come up at all. i tried to install a new version of microsoft compact framework or whatever but then the phone will tell me i have to remove the previous version ,but then i obviously cant b ecause it does not appear in the remove programs list. this is very frustrating, can anybody help me?

Only worry about a newer version of .Net if you're actually told by an application that you need it. Also, when installing something and it tells you you need to remove the existing version, that means it's already installed. The .Net 3.5 installation will not tell you you need to uninstall .Net 2.0, so you've already got the version you tried to install. Just forget about it.
I believe it needs MSVC to work, although I'm not sure. I think I had to install MSVC.
I've never installed it since, since it was so crap - I have a very neutral accent, and even tried an American accent, but it was still pish.
i have it on my TP2......it suuuucks and my accent IS american, lol.
btw, it will put asterisks in place when you use curse words, haha, at least it recognizes them with no problem, go figure!
I tried to send a text message, it got everythin right, but the message just sat in my outbox ...
Anyone else try this??

i just noticed that 'translation', blackass.com, lol. i wonder what you would have got if you DID ask for blackass.com! :O) ahhh, technology, more fun than the proverbial barrel of monkeys at times!
better this , voice ommander or something else? just to understand the maerket now
works great on my tmobile htc hd2
Oh, I hate TellMe so much I want to scream. I've managed to successfully use it on two occasions (where it actually understands what I've said). More often than not, it simply "thinks" and "thinks" until, ultimately, saying "Sorry, didn't catch that". I don't doubt that it works great for some people, but for this thick-accented outer-Bostonian, TellMe is an exercise in futility (and definitely not an app to break out to show off the HD2's power!!).

I'm having the same problem.
I downloaded the TellMe application for HD2 at mobile underground
I have installed the WMPPC_TP_TP2_HD2.cab on my device and the application runs but when I send a text message the message appears to send ok but then gets stuck in my outbox. The message stays there until I send a text the old fashion way and then all the text messages are sent out.
The instructions on the mobile underground website say to make sure you have .NET CF 3.5 version:
*TELLME*: Install NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab.zip first on your WM PPC, before installing the TellMe App, get it here media..fire...

But, I when I tried to install this I received a message saying I already had a newer version. See screen shot showing my 3.5.9198.0 version of the .NET Compact Framework. So, I'm assuming I have a newer version that should work with the TellMe but so far I have been unable to get it to send text messages properly.
Also, I'm running Voice Command v1.6.21889 , which came on the phone originally.
Has anybody else had this problem? Anybody know of a solution?
I have two T-Mobile HD2's sitting here with this installed, all work fine, except the same outbox issue on texts. I wonder what could be the issue or if there was some way to trigger the sending automatically.
I have an idea but not sure how to make it happen.
Obviously the TellMe application is only composing the message and putting it in the outbox.
So, the HTC Messaging should be able to periodically tell that a message is waiting or simply just try to send messages every now and then. After looking at the option in the Settings->Options while you are in the message application you can see that there are 4 options for Delivery: Immediate, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week.
I wonder if there was a way to set the delivery at 1 second if it wouldn't try to send the message. This is just an idea and I'm not very experienced in customizing phones but I do some programing and could see this as a possibly.
____
The other option would be to write a small program that would check the outbox and send any messages in it. Then you could use voice command or tell me to run the program by creating a short cut the this small program and calling it "Send Messages" or something like that.
Anybody have comments or suggestions on either of these ideas?

3-13-12 HTC Hub Update

I just got a message saying that there is a new update for the HTC Hub; should I be worried about anything like it trying to update drives or loosing my unlocks, I know this sounds silly but you know how sneaky they and MS are. Thanks.
App updates can't, by themselves, do either of those. HTC Hub does have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES and the full array of HTC COM DLLs (for no reason that I'm aware of), or at least it used to, so it *could* do something tricky if you ran it I guess, but the odds are very much against it. Just installing it would be fine in any case.

I just updated it on my HTC 7 Pro with Dynamics7 rom.
In Setting menu I installed registry editor and advanced config, last version
and they're working.
I have also touchxplorer and other deployed app, such as battery status, and they're working, too.
IMO we can update, there should be no trick like what you wrote above...
[EDIT]: I ran it to update Accuweather, before trying registry editor and so on...

Thanks lordmago, I just don't trust these guys anymore with all the phones re-locking them selves out of the blue and such. Will try it when I get home, I have a back up anyway so I can always go back.
Anyone got a changelog?
