I remember when I had the AT&T Rom, there was a GPS (daemon?) something in the startup folder. \windows\startup
Could somebody with an AT&T Rom let me know what it was?
I got a new HTC rom installed, and the link is not there. I believe this could be the fix to almost all GPS problems reported.
I plan to recreate that link so I don't have to run the lame GPS Test prog first.
Let me know.
-Heber
curious
I'm working backwards through the threads, so sorry if this has been answered in newer ones... but it looks like if someone has verified this then it is a good fix to have. Assuming this would start GPS and then close it after finding a signal that is.
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?
myFaves
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 =)

Great!
Have you tried to see if you could make a link to myfaves with anycut?
not sur if it would help. i never saw a myfaves icon on my g1.
[edit] sorry didn't see the second page and that the issue was solved..
Hey, I've finally got around to getting root access on the g1, I've got the multi touch which I think is pretty cool and auto rotate. What else could I do with my new found freedom? Getting apps to install to memory card is next on the list (will do it tonight if I can get my head around the instructions) but is there anything else I can do that's useful or any cool ? Also what can I do if I install debian, anything at this point? Think that's about it.. thans in advance.... dan
Themes, maybe. Give your G1 a unique look.
I'm sure you may have them already but download screenshot and task manager. I would definatly go for a theme, there are some really awesome ones out there. You can delete unwanted ringtones, alarms, notifications too like i did!
tether start
tether stop
making my phone a wireless modem/router was pretty much the whole reason i took root.
help with 4 really needed
1)im looking for theme but being a uk (rc8) user there doesnt seem to be much of a selection out there
2)ive not actually got screenshot will grab that and task manager
3)I was under the impresion the tethering wasnt too great and we wernt able to share the internet connection from the phone (to access everything at least) wirelessly or wired? Please correct me if Im wrong as this would be ace.
4)Im trying to install a custom boot image however im not able to get the androids with skates up (definatly had this earlier) yet the recovery images seems ok, have installed hard spl.. am a bit confused on this on, anyone able to help?
Cheers.
ok well i got the tethering done an im impressed does all i need it too.. shame its not secure but im not all that worried .
just incase anyone wants the instructions i found them here:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/im-wirelessly-tethering-through-my-g1-11555/
yup my main reason for the root acces was themes and tether
Right I've managed to get a theme on here but I don't seem to have browser auto rotate or multi touch, anyone have any ideas? Cheers again
I'm new to all this too, and had the same thought immediately after getting root for the first time! One of the first things i did was put caches onto the sd card. If you are always getting low memory warnings than this will help! I followed THIS guide to do it.
I will try my first theme tonight after I charge up my phone.
I guess a question I have is, what are the benefits of adp 1.1 and Fastboot? Is it something that I should do or just something that I could do, if that makes any sense? Right now just putting JF's 1.41 rc30 on is a big enough deal, to give you an idea of where I am in regards with this scene right now.
Thanks!
Install HardSPL, it can come in handy if something goes wrong and you need it to flash boot screens.

If you install a new theme on JF 1.41 you will loose multitouch and autorotate. Here is a link to JF's browser.apk to fix your problem. hope this helps.

It depends on the theme. only if the theme hasn't been updated to work with v1.41.

give this man a medal
Hey You might remember me? i was the guy who tried (and failed mind that) to port the ophone, and my laptop burned out on me....
*you shall be missed
, right ill cut a long story short, me beeing a UK resident means i cant use the native IM.apk over here no matter what, then i remembered back to the days of JF and his RC8 builds worked with the built in IM app with a little tool called Droidsans Tweaktools
and it wasnt untill now i had a major idea, But then i hit a wall it backfired on me and thats where i need some help
See, i took the JFRC8 build enviroment , Got cyanongens 3.4.6 build and replaced the apps, But this is what baffles me right here? why wont it boot after i've signed it? (and wiped) Ive copied across all these files
- added com.android.term.apk to /system/app
- IM.apk
- IMCredentialProvider.apk
- IMProviders.apk
- com.amazon.mp3.apk
- added VoiceDialer.apk, which was built from the source in git

Still no luck... its either this or somehow i could be pointed into the direction of how the cracked .odex file that made it use data instead of sms actually worked ... now, I dont know how hard it would be but i have to original .odex file ripped straight from the droidsans app with me here, if anyone wants me to upload it?
I can also upload the update.zip im trying to use with alot of fail? just incase you guys wanna look at it?
Guys i've hit a brick wall here, i know its not the smartest thing in the world as i can hear the thousands of
use ebuddy, use blaablaablaa
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But i just want to say i always found the original to be the best and this has been the mayjor downfall in all the new builds is that its never going to work with the new IM apps, but the old one, worked better anyway!
anyone like to give us a few pointers? i pulled the .apks straight out of JFs build env
BTW, i have searched, nothing came close to a reall answer, they all said email droidsans i have with no luck, ive tried my self, close sometimes, but no cigar really, so.. now i ask you... anyone? what have i done wrong?
*please dont move this post, it does concern Android develepment
A quick note on the side, i did include a theme into the update.. would it be wise to start again, take out my music player from hero and just copy over one file at a time? I dont know why but IM.apk, Causes a crash no matter what?
Started again, this time just the full monty no theme no music just added im files flashing now
Result time......
Nope failed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Should i take out the apks that are dependednt on the new im? any pointers as to which ones i should remove, this whole thing was a sudden inspiration of annoyedness at all the ims on the market :L
OK BREAKKTHROUGH!! Here we have it.. my idea, the idea im going to use just after my phone boots up (new update, just hero theme and music player)... put the IM.apk and other files on the sd, then we have both new and old ims and the odex file goes on the sd too,, its so perfect its untrue, i jut hope it works
SUCSESSS!!!! No longer am i gettting the dreaded not a tmobile sim bla bla bla message, comment me if u want me to explain how i did it, (Mind this howevr, im still waery i havent yet been able to sign in because of tmobiles awfull 3g in my area, but its a working progress and im sure its working now )
Scrap that, it didnt work... hmmm this is fustrating me, all i need is to sucessfully port that IM app over and ill have cracked it!!!
Running out of space so sorry for the double post but im off for an interview...
ILL get home around 23:00 GMT (off out after ) So, ill upload my results on how MSN has acted throughout the day and how well it runs
This will be a 2 part process, it will require you to adb some files across and A2SD is required, Ill explain all when i get home if its all still running
I've contacted Cyanogen and asked him whether he whould be intrested in this ill notify as soon as i get a reply :d
I'm very interested in this!!!!
Please, write an howto!!!!
Am i missing somthing?
I maybe missing somthing here but I'm in the UK and I use the IM app for MSN and AOL. Im. Using cyan 3.5.2 at present. What's the difference between what I do and what you want to do?
If you aren't a T-Mobile customer you cannot connect...
I'm a tmobile customer in the uk and I've never been able to use the native msn, it says my number is unable to be read from the sim card.
I hope you can get this working, if its anything like the native google talk app it would beat using meebo for msn!

Basicly it is the native google talk app, im having a few difficulties with getting the file across and have android sucsesfully boot with it there, but it really cant be that hard
Maybe you should try JF's dex decompiler and try to hack the latest IM.apk instead?
Or actually getting the source for the IM.apk from android.com would be easier!
Then maybe you could remove the number sim card check so we can just bypass it?

Im going to try working on this now, dont know much but im gonna give it my best shot... also im going to clean up the 1st post... the more idea's i can get the easier it will be for this to happen, my current plan is to take a build, look insidde IM.apk with a tool like winrar just like i do to theme and see some clues as to what makes it force to use sms then try change it to use data instead... i hope it works

Which is why i regret to inform, this isnt going to be the easy fix i imagined, It turns out all i did last time was get lucky when i flashed it accros, i got the old im.apk, rebooted and it stalled on android screen so thats deffo a no go
im going to try the new IM.apk idea now wish me luck
I think i've made progress.. inside the IM.apk theres a file called android manifest
inside there theres alot! and i mean ALOT!! of text, but heres the best bit,

I know thats the permisions, so its not that, but i find it cool it says internet, that prooves one thing that it is possible to do it ?
Ok even more progress, turns out, I know whats changed now between 1.1 and1.5 i think, Theres a new file called TmobileImplugin.apk or someting similar, im guessing that now MSN lies in there ?
I live in Australia and used to be able to get the native IM client to work over WiFi, but even that doesn't work anymore, but that might have something to do with the internet permission??

I've decompiled the latest APK ermm.. now where do i start :L:L
maybe cyanogen would be the one to ask, i think a lot of his rom is made up from the latest source that he compiles
I decompiled the TmoImPlugin and there is nothing in there at all that implements any of the IM protocols for data like Oscar. It's all just proxies to TMO services.
Does that mean the checks aren't done in the app but on the server?
Good Job
Keep up the good work. I would also like to see this working. Meebo has been on the fritz lately.
Decided to make a new thread that we can use to try to troubleshoot this thing.
So far we know that is runs perfectly on Legend Roms due to the OpenSense Plugin. So we need to port that over to the Sprint Rom. (darchstar)
I am 100% in on helping but don't have much skill in this area. So this is a "CALLING ALL DEVS" type of thing, lol.
Attached you will see are the .apks for FriendStream, including the widget. Let me know if there is anything specifically needed so I can upload for easier access for all.
Thanks!
Ok... so tried to do a quick fix type thing, but didn't work. I was copying over files from the legend rom to see if that would work. and no dice....
any insight would be appriciated... cause i'm stumped...
I don't plan on running a sprint rom again anytime soon, so i don't think i'll be working on a fix for this. But if you want, i will gladly help you out in your endeavors. could you please post a full logcat on pastebin.com of you getting the force close when you try to start friendstream on whatever rom youre running, and we can work from there.
Sounds good... now don't want to sound too dumb, but when i run the logcat i'm getting everything. how do i filter just friendstream?
you could probably pipeline and grep,
but no, don't just give me the friendstream bits. I want everything, it makes it easier on me.
PasteBIN.com - ADB Logcat: Fresh 2.0D
Is that good?..
apk problem
Hello, my name is Leilany, I was hoping you would have a moment if possible to help me with a minor problem I created on my EVO.
After I rooted my phone I deleted the Friendstream app and now my phone will not stop syncing. I have tried to install the friendstream.apk using Astro and appinstaller and both say "application not installed". I have saved both the com.htc.friendstreamwidget.apk and the friendstream.apk to the root of my SD as well as under downloads and nothing seems to work. I am not sure how to move forward and it sounded like you maybe understood this issue reading through some of the advice you have given in the forums. I hope to hear from you soon, I would really appreciate the help. Thank you.

Did you try just reflashing the rom? Also might help to go to the EVO thread for help, a lot of differences in our two devices.
