Hi there,
i just rooted my htc sensation and put the cyanogenmod 9.1.
It is really great but i have some questions:
-the Barclays Banking app don't work cause they blocked the access to the root phones, i found on the forum some [how to] for the S3, but didn't work for the sensation, do you have any solution for that?
-the sync of the address book with Facebook and twitter is no working, Ok I know that Google prefer that we use Google+ and don't add this feature in his own system, but there should be a solution, some API to flash in the firmware, or things like that..(i don't want to use apps like, syncnow, friendcaster ecc)
Please answer as soon as possible to my questions, and really thank you so much in advance for your patience.
Ps Sorry for my bad English

Hi there I don't know the solution to your first problem but I do for your second :victory:
I often come across situations on ROMs when there is always those one or two apps I know I wont use so I use a application called Titanium Backup to 'freeze' them. You need the paid version to be able to freeze apps so here's a link to it via the Play Store CLICK ME
BUT if you're a cheapo like me go to a website called APK MANIA and then search for "Titanium Backup Pro 5.6.0 APK". I would give you a link to it but that is against XDA regulations.
sorry maybe i didn't explained really good. i don't want to freeze application, i want to know if there is a method for sync the facebook address with the telephone address...as the photo, the callendar, ecc... as it was on the htc sense..
Sorry, but as i told my english is not really good.
THIS could be your app to sync facebook with your contacts. I do not know if there is any mod/update or anything you could use instead of applications.

Sorry for misunderstanding you...
So basically when you go to accounts and sync in settings and you select Facbeook you don't have the options to sync your different things?

well, actually in account&sync everything is marked(whatsapp,facebook,google+ ecc) but the sync for the facebook photo doesn't work, now i'm using friendcaster, but i really would like a better implementation as the one of the htc sense, (maybe there is a method to flash only this thing) or at least an app that allow me to select manually the friends with the photos (as haxsync, syncnow ecc..) but this is the method that i am using riht now with friendcaster...

Actually you are violating the xda rules by giving instructions on how to find warez, even without a link.
There are plenty of free apps that can freeze other apps. Dont come here showing how someone can get one of the paid ones for free...link or no link.

Thank you for letting me know of my mistake.

Get it while it's hot! Looks like they're finally stepping it up.
Edit: Also improved Facebook API so hopefully Facebook-integrated apps won't be so bad now!
so far it seems to be a good upgrade

still doesnt integrate fb chat, so sad.

How does having a Sense ROM make this useless? Other than contact integration and image uploading, what the hell does Facebook for HTC Sense do?
The notifications don't work for comments. That sucks. There is a app called f-plus that will give you notifications and Go Chat will take care of the fb chat.
I am sick of having 3 apps on my phone for the job that one app should be able to do.
On top of all that my post through the "official app" are not posting on the news feed. If anyone can chime in on that it would be very helpful.
still no chat and still can't poke! Among other things..The bottom line is If I have to open my browser to do anything then its a FAIL! Why have an app if I just need to open my browser at some point..
I just can't believe how they keep dropping the ball on this!
i can view comments from notification in the app so i am confused to as what is not working besides chat
Yes but it does not notify me on the notification bar if some one post on my wall

I tried downloading from the app store. It downloads completely and while installing it fails. It gives me an error saying it was unable to perform the install. I tried to uninstall the present version but the uninstall option is grayed out.
And also sometimes , the appstore takes a while to download. Sometimes I have to restart my fone in order for the phone to start downloading the apps.
Any help is appreciated.

Hmmm I don't like the single-sign-on feature because now all apps will have access to my account by just using FB API? not so good...

It will be listed in the app's permissions. Don't go downloading apps that you don't want to access your Facebook account.

If you're rooted, use Titanium Backup to uninstall the system copy of Facebook, reboot, then download the Market version.
I just got a great news today, my own application will be included on all the phone of the brand "X" in my little country (Belgium)
I got so excited when I am looking at the phones in the shops and I can see my application by default.
Unfortunately, the brand "X" is noobie and seem unable to link my app to the Market, so the users cannot be aware that there is an upgrade in the Android Market.
they just ask me by email
Do you know how to link apps to the market to get the update automatic?

You got to put your apk file in the data/app folder, not the system/app. According to HTC Android ROM kitchen at least, with which I'm experimenting now.

I don't care, I prefer users removing my app rather than being annoyed by an old version, but I don't think that the manufacturer will allow to do that.
Are there really no other option than moving the app? I cannot believe that as many devices have pre-installed apps and are linked to the Market.

Yeah I prefer that way too but U.S. carriers love putting preloaded applications on the phone and it can't be removed unless the user have root access.
And there is no option.. unless you want to provide the customers phones with root access from the start but that'll cause future updates to be a hassle.
The only way to update your app is via a software update (OTA).

Haha, you probably need an answer from an actual dev.
One thing I do know is that it is possible with Titanium Backup, or any other root backup app, to backup your apps with a market link, so that you can update your backed up apps. So maybe that's the solution? Put a market link somewhere?

Actually.. now that I'm thinking about it. Stock ROMs have Android Market is in /system/app/ as Vending.apk.
I believe what happens is that, the market will UPDATE. But you could always uninstall the updates but you're unable to fully get rid of the app.
This should apply to any app in /system/app/ so in theory it should be possible. But yeah, you'd have to ask a dev about it.
What app?

Hi guys!
I want to get rid of anything remembering me to facebook in my Desire HD.
With Titanium backup i was able to remove the facebook (sys) app and the HTC widget app.
The "send to via facebook" links disappeared but there is still a facebook button like in the screenshot i sent here:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/21/screenjo.jpg
(it's not allowed for me to post clickable links because i'm new here)
Rom Cleaner is not an option right now because i don't want to flash at the moment.
Please have understanding for my wish to get rid of facebook because i hate it so much.
Thanks in advance,

Are you rooted?
I too have removed everything "social networking" from my phone. "Root app remover" works well.
Edit: just realized If you removed a system application then I'm assuming you are rooted. Hopefully someone can help you out better..

You can move the facebook apk´s from /system/apps to your sdcard. If that doesn´t remove everything from facebook you can at least move the apk´s back to /system/apps. So you can try another method.
Right, I'm a PowerAMP pro user, but with a pretty old phone. The latest app is working but it's slow and sometimes lags. The poweramp site also offers the old 1.4 version which works right for me. Now, all is fine and dandy but I;m a bit annoyed by the app always showing up there to be updated. So I searched for a method to detach the app from the market and learnt that the bug has been solved long ago and apps can't be detached. So I tried changing the app's signature, of course with no luck, my android dev skills being close to absolute zero.
So I ask you, is there any way to do this? I am not pirating the app, so don't worry
I'm also trying to convince the developer to make an unsigned version of the app specifically for old timers like me, but with no success until now..
Just use LBE Privacy guard and freeze internet connection permission for this particular app..
So it will not connect to net and not telling you that new version is available..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

If it doesnt need to connect to the internet for anything else you could use droidwall to block it from accessing the playstore
If your rooted you could use blackmart to download the app and never have to update it
Or see the updates notifications saying there's an update

I know Titanium Backup can detach apps, though I am not sure if it is available in the free version. However, I do recommend the paid version of Titanium Backup anyway.

On a related note, is there a way to remove apps from the "My Apps"list? It is really annoying to have to scroll through a list of apps containing tons of apps that you may have tried for a while and then uninstalled when you need to reinstall something. And why is the "My Apps" list in random order and not alphabetical?

As far as I know (and after some quick Googling), there is no way to remove any apps from the giant "My Apps" list. However, I use the Appbrain android market replacement, and it lets you customize your lists and sort them better. You can remove devices from view though.
