[Q] CM6 nightly -- Extra steps still required? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just a quick question with the current CM6 builds:
Are the market, and facebook sync fixes still required? I've been told by a few people that they arent since fingerprint for 2.2 evo is on market, and told by others I need to.
Same with the facebook.
I know the google apps are still required to have market and such, but are all the rest of the info under 'faq' here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729367 still required?

To answer my own question:
No
and for some reason ( dont know if was a whoops ), gapps was pre-installed with 8/10 nightly... i think i wiped / factory defaulted anyway haha

with the latest nightly, the market is fixed and all is available
concerning facebook, they've whitelisted cm6 and now you can sync contacts. the latest fb update is pretty nifty as well.
as for that nightly thread, there's a new one we're trying to get up and running in q&a. the link is in my sig. see you there

Yea man, you aren't going to get any help without giving us more details.... What kind of apks? Where are they from? What do you mean you "can't install them"? Does it give you an error? Are you rooted? What rom? What kernal?
I had this issue a while back, go into Titanium Backup and fix permissions.
It's worth a shot.
market wont load
I installed destroyer rom on my HTC evo 4g, I have android version 2.3.3, kernel version 2.6.37.3-cyanogemmod-0123-g53c6890 [email protected] #1, (whatever that means), CPU info ARMv&7 processor rev2 (v7l), MOd vers cyanogenmod-7.0.0-rc2-supersonic-kang, build # GR140. I hope all this info helps, wasnt sure what you guys would need to help fix problem but here is whats going on.
when i click on the market icon , it acts like it wants to load but doesnt, if i clear data, it then asks to create google account,..I have a google account, but when i click okay to create google account it doesnt do anything..
not sure if this is related but also tried to install flash player and it would install..
I am really new to this, and probably shouldnt have attempted to root my phone and install other than stock stuff...but everything else works and its definetly really fast, and cool...
any suggestions
Also; i installed the new market apk. 3.3.111 , i think?,..same thing = says "must add an account to the device to continue. do you want to continue...i click yes,,and NOTHING
Please Help!!!!!
For one thing, Destoyer was based on Android 2.1 I'm pretty sure, so that COULD be an issue. I mean, it's a pretty old ROM.
Hey man, I say flash a new rom, try some of these listed below
e3d shooter port (has 4g and sense 3.0)
Synergy (4g and sense 2.1 also extremely stable) - my daily driver
FEARmede (no 4g, runs sense 3.5) - Jared and dropzero work hard on this and things are getting fixed everyday.
if you like aosp try
cyanogen mod (4g very stable, have to install gapps to get market)
miui (no 4g, very clean ui, iphone replica almost is your an iphone fan)
savage mod 1.4 (4g, stable, the rom i run when using aosp)
I am running cm7.1 I cannot install any non market apps unknown sources are checked but I cannot get apostle to install. I get to the install screen try to push the button and it dose nothing. I have the stock kernal. Also since o Jane upgraded to 7.1 my video chat dose not work I use oovoo because this is the only app that work on Canada to US.

(Q) 2.3.7 Roms

Hello Everybody,
Am kinda new to the development stuff on Android, so excuse me if am asking a silly questions
i wanted to ask about the 2.3.7 Roms for Desire HD, i have noticed some issues about these roms and i want some clarifications about how to fix about it
1- I can not link the contacts with facebook or twitter or any other social app.
2- When i connect the phone to the pc i got only one feature that to mount the sd card storage instead of having the normal options from 2.3.5 roms (charge only, htc sync...etc)
3-The market can not recognize my device.
4- I can not automatically restore the apps from the market after setting the rom up
5- The maps, Latitude and all location apps could not get automatic permission to access my Gmail account
That's mainly the points i had noticed so far
so if somebody can advice about how to fix about this issues i will be very thankful
Thanks everybody in advance
Hi there @Mohamedloza.
May I ask what ROM are you using right now? Judging by your words, I bet you are using AOSP rom, yes?

Yeah I bet your right. It is either an AOSP rom or MIUI rom. Both will do this.
As for Google and Facebook, Google no longer supports syncing to Facebook (thank god) on its own. Install the Facebook app if you want it to sync to FB.
what is the difference among 2.3.x?
Thanks everybody for your quick answers
i do not know what do you mean with MIUI roms or AOSP rom
right now am using this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320941
this happens for every rom i use with 2.3.7 version (it's volume is always around 100 MB)
but for the roms with 2.3.5 version and it's weight is above 300 MB everything goes fine
Does this make any sense for you?
Waiting your feedback ASAP
Best Regards,

OK your using an AOSP rom which means it is Android Open source Project. These roms use nothing made by the manufacturer. Including the drivers for the phone. There are some draw backs to it though as the open source drivers used doesn't make full use of the hardware. Think of it like a PC. Yes you can find open source drivers for your hardware but the drivers from the OEM will always be better as it is built for the device.

1. Not sure (Possibly related to a similar issue as question 4, Settings>Accounts&Sync>Add Account>Add Facebook Account
2. I believe that is a Sense only feature
3. Give it about 2-3 hours and the market will recognise you device again (Be sure to access the market from your mobile at lease once and except the T&C's).
4. Make sure the ROM you flashed has GApps installed with it and that you have linked the accounts (I.E had the prompt to sign in to google, if not the you will find the option in Settings>Accounts&Sync>Add Account>Google Account, if not then be sure to flash it after first boot of ROM (A quick search of the form will find you a copy of GApps).
5. Don't know the answer to this one either.
Okay, you are now using Absolution ROM, based from CyanogenMod 7.2RC, which is indeed an AOSP rom. As clarified by posts above, Facebook and other social app linking are Sense optimized. BUT, the syncing feature is still available in the ROM, but without automatic syncing. Either you have to manually set and link every contact in your phone, or simply merge them in the People app setting.
The HTC Sync and all the other stuffs you've mentioned before is HTC Sense exclusive.
About the market unable to recognise your phone, try to clean up the market cache/data in application setting.
Due to different framework of AOSP, the automatic app restore is disabled.
You can either clear the Google Map cache/data or uninstall and update the app to the latest version available, 6.0.2.
Thanks a lot everybody
that was really helpful for me... i really appreciate your help
well then it seems that all the roms with 2.3.7 is AOSP (is not it? if not please refer me to one full rom please)
Thanks again everybody
Merry Christmas for you all

Yes sense based roms are on 2.3.5. Not alot of diff to be honest. As MIUI, a search will tell you that. Nothing personal I just don't like it.
I think this is ROM's problems, you can view this ROM's developer's post, maybe it can help you .
MIUI Is AOSP also
i think u want the facebook for htc sense to do so. if ir using aosp roms u can download an app that is called contaapp or something like that. the link that u know is just for sense roms

MIUI is not AOSP. MIUI is a closed source kang of CM. But with it being closed source it is not considered AOSP

[Q] Google Music app not compatible with my device

Hi,
I'm new to android and modding in general. I've flashed AOKP + gapps on my device. Some of the gapps would not appear in my app drawer no matter how many times I reflashed them, so I installed them manually from the market. The problem is this is not working for Google Music, it does not show up in the market on my device, if I browse to it on the market website, it says that Google Music is not compatible with my device because it is not available in my country (I'm in Canada) which makes no sense since the device shipped with the Music app installed on stock image. Anyone know how I can get it to work?
Thanks
Although the app ships with it if Google Music isn't available in your country you can't download it from the Market. Same with here in the UK
Google search the APK and install it via a file manager on the phone
Install the gapps listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484457
Good luck
oh ok, I tried faking the market to a USA one and it still didn't work. I downloaded the apk and installed it manually and it's working.
One question though, shouldn't the AOKP or the gapps that I flashed already mean I should had got it without trying to download it from the market? do you know why some of those gapps like maps, navigation, etc did not show up at all until I downloaded them myself?

Here's a post by Roman:
posted 12 hours ago by Roman Birg [ updated 5 hours ago ]
Important: New Gapps package is bare, so there is no legal trouble for anyone. Please do not ask us to include any extra apps. A wipe is required. I'm sorry if it's missing some apps not available in your country via the Market, but that's the exact reason we cannot include them in the package. This means Google Wallet is no longer included in. It will still work, but you must add it yourself. Thanks for your understanding.
Build 22 is still 4.0.3. Every single build and milestone is built directly from source. As such, we must wait for Google to release sources for 4.0.4. After that, we'll be working day and night to merge the new changes and bring you the latest!

Installed CM9 Nightly - How do I get Play Store on here?

HI there folks. I just rooted and installed ICS CM9 nightly from today on my LG Nitro but it's missing some core applictions (play store, nav, etc). How can I get these installed back on here? Or can I go back to stock Gingerbread ROM?
You have to flash gapps. Search around for the latest version.

HOpefully still some people following this. How do I fix calendar sync? It doesn't look like calendar is installed properly as it shows as "Sync com.android.calendar". Pretty sure that is not right. Also Sync Browser is not working. How do I fix all this stuff? Thank you.

Jandycane previous version question, or jb-kfire

Hi all.
I just installed Jandycane 1.7.2 on my KF and it's gorgeous, smooth well done praise/praise/praise. I'd like to get Chrome up and running (a large reason for jellybean on this device). It's known to not function - and I tested again on latest version (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811376)
That thread recommends two fixes - 1: uninstall Chrome, wipe dalvik and cache, revert to a previous version of jandycane, install chrome, re-flash latest version. This seems to be the easiest fix, but the links in ROM OP of Jandycane http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766829 are all dead (Apparently I'm lucky I got it about 4 hours ago), because goo.im seems to be DOA right now for pretty much everything).
So in regard Fix 1 - does anyone have a hosted copy of Jandycane 1.6 or thereabouts that they can host somewhere until goo.im settles down in a few days?
Regarding that thread's other fix, which itself is referencing a post in the ROM's OT: 2: wipe/wipe/wipe, flash jb-kfire-hashcode-07-13, flash gapps, wipe caches again, install Chrome, dirty-flash Jandycane 1.7.1 (assuming works for 1.7.2).
In regard Fix 2 - I also can't find jb-kfire-hashcode-07-13 anywhere, does anyone have a hosted version of this, a version they can host, etc?
Thanks.
Yes replying to myself. I've been a *LONG* time lurker... need my 10.

Let me start off by saying, don't hate on me for replying to myself - yes it's for 10count. But I've been lurking here about 2 years and while I haven't found a need to post much, I do now, between a new Nexus 7, and old Huawei Ascend2, 2x Kindle Fires, and probably soon to be a second Nexus, I have questions damnit!
Now on to the jbkfire-hashcode-07-13 : It was originally posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765288 and the link leads to droidhive.com which is showing as a dead GoDaddy site. So... yeah.
Is the whole community being effed with when I need them most? Droidhive and goo.im down at the same time, mediafire and dropbox thresholding downloads or simply freezing accounts for 72 hours over traffic, blah.
Some help would be appreciated so I can get the KFs running well for the wife and kids, and I can go back to playing with my Nexus 7.
Thanks.
