[q] htc hero failure!!!

I am by no means a computer or phone guru...just curious about things. Apparently i got a little to careless with my curiosity. I have rooted my phone using z4 and started to delete files I thought i did not need. At first I couldn't download anything from the market so I unrooted the phone and then reset it. I then got the message SORRY! The appication HTC Sense(process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I have factory reset the phone, cleared the sense data in settings that was able to get to...but nothing changes. Can anyone help me with this problem?

it seems your home launcher program (sense) is the problem. try signing into your gmail and going to market.android.com on ur computer. then search for luancher pro, and click install. then once it installed on your phone, click the home buttom, and then check off "select as default" and then click launcher pro. hope this helps!

Or just re-flash the rom.. Don't delete data partition and you should be fine with all your personal settings kept when you re-flash.

[Q] Family accounts?

Yeah...did that, no luck. Nothing specific to my problem. com.android.settings is what force closes with an error in the log about no having an app linked....

I would like to know if there is a fix for this as well.

permissions fix may help
I would download rom manager and use its fix permissions tool. RM is a good place to start when random or weird fcs happened. DO NOT FLASH A NEW RECOVERY WITH ROM MANAGER. I download, fix permissions, uninstall. If you try to back up your rom from rom manager it will ask you to update your recovery and if you do that you WILL brick your device.
Or you could restore a backup and reflash your rom.
Good luck

did you ever get this fixed?

fix is here!

Does enabling/fixing this give you separation of accounts? ie, does it keep e-mails and or facebook logins, etc separate?
What exactly DOES the Family accounts do?
Sorry, I never actually ran the stock ROM. I've been on TNTL and/or Vegan since the day I got the Tablet.

Issue with making purchases from Market

I rooted my EVO a while back, wiped everything and flashed MIUI.
I am able to download FREE apps from Market perfectly fine and can update them too when needed. However, when I try to make a PURCHASE, after I click "OK" it would just give me the error message "A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."
I made sure my Google Checkout is all setup. I have tried searching for this issue and while many have seen the same error message, but none have the exact same problem I am having as most can't even download free apps or update as I could.
I have tried wiping cache, rebooting, you name it.
Please advise, thank you in advance

I'm not sure how you stop what sounds like a ROM issue, but I can help you get around it for now.
Transfer your contacts from your SD card onto your PC. (.vcf format I assume?)
The open your web browser and log onto your Gmail. Select Contacts from the menu of the left. Click on the 'More' tab across the top, and select 'import...'
Point the pop-up at the files you transfered to your PC, and now they are imported as Google Contacts.
Now each time you flash a new ROM and sign in to your Gmail account, the contacts will be pulled down from your account and you wont need to keep copying them to your phone from your SD card.

I dont think its a ROm issue.....cos before flashing with Desire S Gingerbread 2.3.5 I was running on RCMix 2.5 and I did not have any such problem with RCMIx Rom......it was only after flashing with Desire S Gingerbread 2.3.5 that I'm getting this error message. So I thought I'll switch back to RCMix and I made a clean wipe and cleared the cache and flashed my phone with RCMix and now I'm getting the same error message even with this RCMix which was working absolutely fine earlier..........
Can someone please hel me solve this problem.

This began for me after installing Google + 2.0 .. after deleting the data and Uninstalling Google + 2.0 everything works again correctly

I think this thread is done with the work.. So better put a [SOLVED] infront of thread name

Had the exact same problem. Uninstalling Google+ solved the problem. Thanks for the tip.

I too had the process com.android.htccontacts issue, tried messing about uninstalling Google+, removing Account Sync's and re-syncing ... Still broken
... FIXED - I did a Titanium restore PEOPLE (com.android.htccontacts) from an old backup, flashed only the data over (the data in this file doesn't actually contain the contacts, that appears to be in a different area)
but whatever it was that got corrupt was fixed ...
Hope this helps

Contact photos question

Hi all! Asking for a little help from the xda crew. Yesterday I went through the process of rooting my sgs4g, doing a Titanium Backup, flashing from Froyo to the GB starter pack, and finally installing Valhalla Black edition. Everything went *super* smooth and I love it! The only issue I have is that my contacts will not populate with facebook photos, which I believe is because Valhalla does not use the "accountsandsync.apk"
I believe this to be true based on this thread in another forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102157
Now, that being said, I thought I could just reinstall from my TB file, but I think this is where I made a small mistake yesterday. I backed up "all apps+system data" and when I try to restore the accounts and sync file TB hangs up at the popup window. After doing some research it appears that this may be due to the fact that I saved it with the Froyo system data? *If* all I've said so far is true, could someone please share the "accountsandsync.apk" and anything else I might need to restore this feature in GB on Valhalla Black?
Some simple instructions on where to put the file and how to install would be welcomed with a smile as well!
If I'm incorrect in my assumptions, hopefully someone will get me pointed in another direction so that my phone will populate my contact list with facebook photos again.
To be complete in my attempts at a fix I have tried multiple scenarios between syncing with google, and in the facebook app sync menu with no results.
Thank you in advance for your help!

My contact pictures always worked fine, even with Valhalla Black. After using TB to restore apps, make sure you log out of Facebook app then log back in and select sync all. After that my contact pictures always populate afterwards. Even the newest Rom by Raver works fine.

Hi, thanks for your reply. For s&g I tried to log out and log back into the FB app but this didn't update my list. This is certainly not a ROM issue. It has to do with not being able to restore my 'accounts and sync' apk. I imagine my contact photos would work if I could restore the accounts and sync apk from TB, but as I stated TB hangs when I try this. I believe this is because of the way I backed it up while still on Froyo. I believe that I need the actual apk from someone currently on GB in order to make this work again...so, original request still stands. Thanks again.

Yes.. rather than use TB to restore I would push the .apk. Anytime you can do fresh installs in better than using TB because it can sometimes cause issues. For future reference you can get most .apks from other ROMs like the stock GB rom.
I use 'Super Manager' from the app market. Open 'Super Manager' then go into file manager. Check your settings in Super Manager by going into setup/root and make sure 'enable ROOT function' is checked. Find your AccountAndSync.apk on your SD Card and copy. Press 'Back up level folder' twice. Go into 'system/app' and make sure 'system is set to (r/w). Paste the AccountsAndSync.apk in the folder.

Thanks a bunch. The app shows up in my app drawer, but force closes when I click on it. I tried to navigate to the file in the system/app folder and set permissions but Super Manager has a blank screen for permissions. Tried install and that process failed as well. Now I'm at a loss for ideas. Might you have any yourself? :/ Also did a reboot, tried to resync with FB app, no success.

I flashed Raver's latest ROM. It had Accounts and Sync in it.
If you have not done it yet try fixing permissions. Uninstall facebook reinstall. Clear cache, fix permissions, uninstall, reinstall fresh... these are all the things I would try.
If all else fails flash the most current release and see what happens. I don't use facebook.
EDIT: Look at the attached files in my previous post. I added one. You may be needing that apk as well.

BOOM! That at least got the app working! THANK YOU! I think I will either have to wait for it to update the list after reboot or play around a bit...I feel like I'm getting closer to the prize!

I have rc3.1. However, there is not an app icon for accounts and syn like stock. You access it through through settings.
Glad you are getting closer.

Dude, thank you THANK YOU again! All my contacts are syncing now and photos are slowly populating the list!
I saw the "accounts" menu item in settings in my release but it force closed when I tried to use it. Next weekend I should have some more time to do a fresh install and update to the new release. I am on the Beta Rc2 release and I LOVE IT!! As soon as I get my tax return Raver's gonna get a donation!!

Glad you have it working!
