Hey I have test 3 pre alpha cm7 on my tunderbolt, runs amazing but its annoying to not have the market, maps, and gmail sync with the gmail apk. I have my gmail under email which works but its annoying. Is there anyway to have all of these synced to my phone running cm7 so I can use my gps and real gmail sync and get apps without applanet or apks off google.
Thanks all!
Dl the gapps package in rom manager.
Thanks tons never knew that!

If you have any spaces, dashes, or an apostrophes (like I do) it looks as though it causes a problem with com.htc.bgp. When I had an apostrophe in my last name on Facebook no matter what I tried I could not sync using the People app. This morning I tried taking the apostrophe out on Facebook, deleting the account from my phone, deleting HTC Sense and Android Facebook permissions in the account settings under applications on the Facebook website then re-adding my Facebook account on my Hero under Accounts & Sync. It loaded my Facebook account without the apostrophe. I then opened the people app and attempted to link a contact and to my surprise I seen my Facebook contacts loading up instead of "no matches"! It has been months since I could use the people app to sync with Facebook and I have tried all the brute methods and just turning down your memory killer! Give it a try if you have any characters that aren't letters in your first or last name on Facebook.
I am running Damage Control 2.09.1 overclocked with 2.6.36 darkshizz kernel. If overclocked you must turn the settings back to stock (dconfig, setcpu, all memory killers, etc).
*Edit* I just put the apostrophe back in my name on Facebook and synced again. It kept my name without the apostrophe and still allowed me to sync new contacts!
I want to know how to only sync the contacts I have and not import all my friends from facebook, like how 1.5 used to be. I hate having a ton of extra contacts I never call in my dialer!
Use the stock/non htc facebook app. it does this exactly.
Good to know, thanks for posting.
Mods, should this be moved to the Themes and Apps forum?
For some reason when i click on facebook in accounts and sync nothing happens. Is this linked to the actual facebook app you download from the market?....I want to try to reinstall it. Cleared my facebook cache...still nothing.
Running fresh rom.

I had this happen when I switched to DarchDroid 2.7. I solved the issue by searching the market for facebook, and it told me I needed to upgrade. I had the typical notification show me other apps that needed upgraded but had no mention of Facebook. After I upgraded it, I was able to sync in the accounts area just fine. Hope that helps.
THANK YOU!!!
You are a god among men. I've been searching for a fix for this for MONTHS, and nobody's had an answer. Thank you so much!!! +9,001 Internets for you.
I have tried and tried to update my APP and no luck. I can only open it. any pointers would be appreciated.

I don't really know but when I went to the downloads part of my market it didn't say that Facebook needed to update, but after further investigation I realized that it wasn't in the download list at all. So I searched the market for it and when it found it, it told me that it had an update available. So if you have already tried that and it won't work, then I would say you should try removing the old Facebook app altogether and then just get the new one from the market.
So the fix for the extra Facebook synced contacts in the dailer is to use the Facebook App instead of the HTCFacebook ?
I had the same problem and I fixed it by uninstalling Facebook for Android and in settings>accounts & syncs, I removed Facebook account. I then re-downloaded Facebook for Android and in accounts & sync, I added Facebook for HTC NOT Facebook for Android.
you cant use the regular facebook app if you have sense.........
It looks my GMail stopped synchronizing with my account a few days ago. A manual refresh in GMail works though. I do not see any sync related settings in GMail other than the number of days for different folders sync.
My G-Tab runs stock 3588 with the Enhancement Pack v3.14. GMail v2.3.4.1.
Any idea what's going on?
Not sure what the problem is and I had been looking for the "acccounts and sync" settings too. If you open the contacts app and hit settings then accounts it should look familiar. I am using latest tnt lite so you might find it elsewhere.
I was having similar problems. I went to the market, uninstalled and reinstalled Gmail. Works perfect now.

Thank you. Since GMail is in the ROM I uninstalled and reinstalled the update from the market. Works for now.
Hi everyone!
I just successfully rooted my HTC Sensation 4G and installed cynogenmod (HyperSensation-CM7.1-v1.2).
Everything seems fine so far, but I'm confused about the default included 'email' app. Is this the google-made gmail program or something different? I expected once I set up my 'account' upon initial startup, clicking on this e-mail app would 'just work' and pull up my emails, but instead it started asking me for email account details.
Should I download 'gmail' from the market? Is that what I really want?
Also, I'd like the swype-like functionality back on this keyboard, but don't know the best way to get that back. Any help would be appreciated, as I can't post to the cynogenmod thread yet.
Thanks!
Most roms have 2 Email Apps, one is Gmail, the other is Email.
If you use Gmail for your email address (i.e. xxxx.gmail.com), then you should use the Gmail app which some Roms include and can easily be downloaded from Android Market.
If you use a pop email account, like yahoo or hotmail, then for those you don't use the Gmail app, but can use the other Email app. You can also download other Email apps from the Market, like K9 or Enhanced Email, for this purpose too.
Excellent, actually once I started 'restoring' from my google account, it downloaded gmail for me automatically and that's working like I expected. Thanks for the help.
Any idea on the swype keypad functionality?
Just upgraded from android 2.3 to ICS 4.0
I cant sync my Facebook with my contact list - tried everything included loggin out/in facebook
Worked fine with 2.2
In my search for an answer I actually seen seperate app for syncing facebook contacts, also read that jellybean cant sync facebook contacts, android 4.0 has all the settings for syncing facebook contacts but just doesn't actually work
which all point to v 4.0 bug
Am I missing something or is it just a bug thats never been fixed?
I can live without it (certainly wont be installing any apps for this pi$$-ant problem) but it was working and be nice if it does
Facebook?

People are not happy with the Facebook App which is currently on the Play Store due to very slow performance & many bugs. I think you should wait for a proper update
I have the 11/22 driver (update 5) on the Infuse and I cannot get past the authentication screen for calendar.
After I plug in my uid/pw it says "Couldn't sign in". This must be a default message for something because when I test with an invalid credential it simply says bad uid/pw.
Does anyone have a working calendar on 4.4 ?
I had a similar problem. I downloaded the google calendar from the play store though and it seems to be working fine.
fixed by replacement

It seems that the calendar application included in gapps (green grid icon) does not work . I disabled it and downloaded the calendar application from Google:good: play (blue page folding icon) which worked without setup.
Google must have switched the application and we are still flashing with a wrong gapps.:good:
that green icon calendar is the stock android aosp calendar app. its not part of gapps, though you used to be able sync your google account with it. i dont know if you still can because they killed off google sync a while back. its still needed for other things like exchange accounts. google released a dedicated google calendar app like a year or so ago so you should use that anyways.
Thanks

If the AOSP calendar is uninstalled and the blue Google calendar installed will calendar on lock screen function properly? I'm not on 4.4 yet but just curious. Thanks!
