Syncing with a Non-"Sense" ROM - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Thinking about flashing to a stock 2.2 FroYo ROM (Cyanogen's)...
But would I be able to copy the apk's presently for the HTC Facebook/Friendstream apps, and install those onto FroYo JUST for contact picture/info syncing purposes?
I'm not interested in using the actual Friendstream app or anything. I just want to have my Facebook contacts sync ok.

New Gmail client available for Android

http://wp.me/pUjC4-dA
Like the new client, but sometimes the display pics of the email senders don't load! I have to reopen the email and it is only then the display pics are shown! Irritating me no ends.
install fail here.
Yep, installation unsuccessful too on LeeDroid 2.1
isnt it on the market?
or is that vanilla roms only..
leedrooi 2.0c here install fail here.. i guess its time to move on the leedroid 2.1
I think we'll have to remove the original Gmail app to install this on custom roms, not sure how we do that tho.
It's on the Market for HTC 2.2, and installs right-on just fine.

you need to uninstall the previous gmail before installing this
either through using adb or titanium to remove the previous gmail
I just used THIS guide to remove teh stock Gmail app and install the new one from Market.

Too bad I couldn't do the same for Google Search. Installation from Market just fails now.
Haven't had any issues with updating or using the update. All's fine
Hmm, 3.73MB, that poor Desire internal memory
If you use the original GMail app you can install without any problem. Most custom ROMs that update GMail use a package that can't be upgraded directly.

Don't update, use HTC's email client instead and add the google account, a much better solution imo
HTC's email client is superior in every way.
The problem arrises when you already have an exchange account and in this case you need to define your google account as a POP3 one, thus loosing push capabilities.

I switched from HTC client to gmail app to get the emails pushed to phone instantly.
Ok, well then you'll need the gmail app after all...
As I only use Gmail on my phone it's always in use, update works fine on stock ROM and is a welcome update

Yeah, tried this one and it doesn't have htc sense...any other thoughts?
Why don't you think it has sense? It is the basically the factory image.

It is basically a vanilla Cyan. It doesn't have the sense theme and/or any of the sense widgets. Basically I can deal without the widgets but I desperately need to be able to sync with my microsoft outlook. I used outlook religiously for all work info and need that info to be on my phone as well. The Sense operating system allowed this whenplugged through usb, you could download HTC Sync and it would sync up my outlook with my phone....Info in outlook needed: contacts, calendar, tasks....I've downloaded a calendar app which used gmail to sync and that's okay, (not great) but the main thing is my tasks and contacts now....
The one I pointed to brought my phone back to the way it was when I got the phone aside from being rooted still. It has all the original widgets that came with it.
I also sync my outlook calendar, contacts and email with it.
The only difference was that this image was still rooted and not set back to a true unrooted factory state. I'm really not sure why you are not seeing you phone back to the way it was when you walked out of the USCellular store the day you got it after restoring to this image.
Have you tried connecting con247 yet and see what he says about this?
I don't know either.....I will try and contact him and let you know...thanks for the help...
edit: I tried downloading it again and the same result. Boots up Cyan again. Does it matter if you use the free download link rather than purchasing the premium. Another thought: If I get a hold of another desire and root it and then do a back up of the Sense UI, could I just simply copy/paste the backup into my SD Card backup file and then restore that?
It sounds like you need to undo the cyan install somehow before you can run this.
I have not gone any further than a basic root to remove some apps so I am not too familiar with what all doing a cyan mod changes on the system.

I just need The Stock so the *22890 will program my phone, Im having a hard time finding it for some reason.
And why can you revert back the root? As I can see, you have stock rom, but only rooted. If it's working properly, it's no reason to unroot. Id you do it because of original HTC service, they can realize that you were rooted even if now you aren't.
Edit: But if you want to find Stock rom with no changes, try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667.

Unable to sync contacts at all

I'm having a weird issue. No matter which ROM I use... stock, 2.1 or 3.0 Sense, I am unable to sync my contacts through google or my exchange account. It just keeps trying to sync but doesn't really sync. It sync'd a single contact only. Email and calendar syncs fine so I'm at a lost at what's going on... Anyone have any ideas? I wiped a bazillion times with Cal's format all and Amon 2.3 recovery's own wipe option. Tried flashing all types of ROMS but no goo...

Look at an individual contact that is not syncing, and make sure it says google on the top right.
Edit: You have to set each one manually. It can be a pain, but it's worth it when you are done.
Option 2 is to export your contacts to SD, then upload that file to your gmail via computer. All of your contacts will now be saved to google, but when it syncs you will have double contacts, and will have to delete or link each one.
Either way is a pain, but once your finished, you won't have to do it again.
So I tried the very old WarmTwoPointTwo RLS5 and on that particular ROM, my contacts sync perfectly... then I tried to flash some other ROMs but they still have the same issue... =T The only thing I can think of that I did recently is flash the new radio and then the combo file that includes the newest radio and other stuff...
Did you update the radio after the other rom worked? Try this when you install the new rom connect with wifi before you sign into your gmail and see if that works

Hi Dorric,
do you have the one x sync with google?
if so all contacts are sync with gmail account, and when you install new rom, when you resync with gmail the contacts will be restore
Go to people, menu, manage contacts and then export to phone storage.

As said, just make sure to tick sync contacts and run a sync. To be sure check og gmail, under contacts and all your contacts should be there. If this is not an option, check MyBackup on Play Market. Its a free version, but it only allows to restore to the same phone. But that wouldn't be a problem, or buy the full pro version where you can restore to any phone. I think its also posible to backup apps if you have root.
