Astrid + ROMs based on Eris leak

Hey guys,
I've tried a few of the Eris-based ROMs, and they are all pretty damn decent, my kudos to the devs.
But one common problem I am having is that when I try to set up the initial sync between Astrid and Remember The Milk, I get a "Page cannot be displayed" error. It's as though Astrid has no access to the web in order to establish that link with RTM.
Does anyone have a solution to this, or any other suggestions I can try? I've come to rely heavily on Astrid and it kills me to change back to another ROM.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: To be clear, I have no problems or connectivity issues with Email / Browser / Maps on both Mobile and Wifi data.

There is an issue with the leaked ROM and HTTP requests from within apps. For instanc, while Gmail can get my emails, when I click the show pictures button nothign comes up. Urbanspoon has the same problem as you described above. I think it is a common problem on all the ROM's based on the Eris leak

Thanks for the response...
Bummer.

That would be the same reason why babbler and bloo cant gain access to facebook then to be granted permissions, bugger.

I think I've had the same trouble with NavLauncher's automatic brut.all maps downloader.... I've got perfect signal and mobile internet, everything else is working, but the maps.apk just won't download.

Yes, I have the same problems, but it seems that some people don't have them.
I have seen reports that Facebook sync works and have found very few other people mentioning these problems on ROM specific threads.
No solution yet

I can confirm that problem with astrid and any other apps that make http requests
its so sad, astrid is _so_ useful :/

I wouldn't call it sad. Sad is losing a loved one, or popping a testicle. I think its unfortunate, but sad is not an emotion I feel towards a week or two without the use of a task list application.

Got the same issue with a few apps (pagesjaunes, wapedia)... I'm hoping somone will find a fix! I don't want to give up my rom and go back to 1.5...
Edit : Does everybody gets this error? Is it in all eris leak based roms? (I run Defiance). I wiped everything but did not format my sdcard when I flashed the 2.1 rom, coming from MCR 3.1...

I was kidding still - its not really fortunate that it doesnt work

for tasks you can try gtasks in the market, its free and syncs with your Google task list and if you use pure calendar it will also display on the due dates.

I don't think it's everybody...
There are just too few comments in this thread for it to be a generic problem.

Nah, i think it is @nprussell has even spoken about it several times in his VillianROM thread.

Doh! It looks like this is even happening in the Legend leak! (BeHero 1.3.1)

I asked the question in the BeHero thread at HTCPedia and indeed it seems that the issue is not resolved :/
I'll have to stick with MCR for now...

This issue is not specific to 2.1: I've had this with my completely stock 1.5 original ROM back from Hero release here in .nl (august 2009).
It's the primary reason I went to RememberTheMilk, but now that I've done so I'm convinced that RTM is better for me than Astrid anyway. But that's another discussion
As to resolving the original problem: I have no clue how. Sorry...

It would be nice if the devs could at least acknowledge that this is indeed a bug with their cooked ROMs in their "not working" lists.
It may not be a big deal to some, but it's a deal-breaker to many.

Wooohooo!!!
We are back in business
I can confirm Astrid - RTM sync is working once again in the latest Legend ROM leak.
So far this leak is available from http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2275
But note the ROM is a little laggy/slow, but everything seems to working ok, from the last 20 mins i have been using it

List of HTC Updates/Fixes in the Froyo Release...

Hello Guys,
I had a quick question. Currently, I am on the 2.1, Update 2 release on my EVO, but am thinking about getting the official updates for Froyo, that HTC released. Now, everything made sense, until I realized that there is a very critical app that I use on my phone which does not work on 2.2 yet, so I have decided to maybe hold off on the upgrade.
In the meanwhile, however, I was wondering, for those who updated to the 2.2 Official ROMs or custom ROMs built off of the official 2.2 updates, did you guys notice any updates or fixes from HTC on the Sense side of things?
For example, with 2.1, there is a known Sense issue, where the Facebook contact pictures don't automatically update for contacts, with assigned FB Profiles through HTC Facebook for Sense. For some of those coming from the WM world, that feature even exists on the Sense 2.1/2.5 on WM, where if you sync, the LASTEST contact pic is automatically downloaded and assigned to the contact on the phone.
I am sure there were other problems with Sense as well that shipped with out EVOs.
So my question is:
Can someone or does anyone know of a list of fixes/updates that HTC made on the Sense side of things, with the updates that shipped with Froyo? If so, can you list them here and confirm that they are working now?
Thanks to everyone is advance who responds, and thank you for reading!

Here's the one's off the top of my head:
Sense Launcher is smoother.
Messages app got a new widget and the text area is bigger. Also, you can easily attach attachments to your message by hitting a small attachments button right under the send button. Cool menu too.
Camera buttons rotate all four directions to make it easier to work with in any direction.
New set of calculator widgets in 5 colors. A couple other new and updated widgets too, I believe.
Calendar display's your facebook birthdays.
Alarm volume is more accessible. Never had a problem with it, but now there's at least three ways to change its volume.
I think that's about it for Sense. Settings got moved around a little and of course are a little different than stock, but mostly the same. One thing that kind of pisses me off is the cloud backup setting isn't in this version of Sense, which sucks because my settings are the only thing I can't back up too well. I was looking forward to that in Froyo, but HTC stripped it out for the time being. Weird part is the old development builds of the Evo's Rom had a similar feature, back in 2.1. They took it out and haven't put it back in after Froyo. Anyways, hope that helps. There is a small bug in HTC's calendar that makes it impossible to edit calendar events if you have a note in them, at least without overwriting that note with some other data.

Thanks a lot for your response superlinkx!
It is a shame what you said about the cloud backup, but hopefully they get their acts together and add it in the later releases.
Can you do me a favor and confirm that the Facebook contact pic issue still persists in the Froyo release of Sense? I described that issue in my previous post. I appreciate your help, thank you Sir!
Looking forward to your response.

[Q] Has your market been updated?

Hi,
I know there is somewhere around here the update of the new market.
However I have not installed it or anything and now my Desire Z has it, which makes me wonder if anyone having a Desire Z has also got it?
Because I also have a Desire and Wildfire but neither of them has got the update.
Thanks
*****EDIT ****** My wildfire and my Desire Z have got it, maybe I havent got it on the Desire since I am on a custom ROM.
Anyhow thanks

Google did say they would be rolling it out over the next few weeks. I haven't got it yet either.
But there's an .apk you can install if you want, over on the Apps forum.

I got it last night. It updated silently, without any notification, which i don't realy like...
New Market app looking good, just needs to get used to it. I don't mind for sharing an .APK if you want.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App

Market has always updated silently, it updates far more often than you know about, but most of the time it will just be bug fixes and not actual change so you will never notice.
The same method they use to update the market is how they can also remove banned apps you have installed (if installed via the market)

After they've removed "Free Advanced Task Manager" from my phone i switched to CM ROM (without GApps) for ~2 months and just now starting to use all that Google spyware-kit again. That's the only thing i hate about Google. Automatic app updates via Market su**s too IMO. They keep getting updates even if i've un-ticked "Allow automatic updating" box.

i updated my market app manually, but it seems this one is eating battery, there is a running program called alarmService Process: com.android.vending and its running... i didnt have this with my older market... is there any way to get the old version back?

It updated overnight sometime between tuedsay and wednesday. I liked the old one better, this one tries too hard to look like the app store

Don't think mine has updated, looks very much the same as before to me.

You'll know when it gets updated. They've revamped the looks of the interface quite a bit.
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Android-Market-Update-Android-1.6-Developers-android,news-9351.html

Last time I checked mine wasn't updated

I received the update, but not sure if I care for the new coverflow rip-off UI. Unnecessary eye candy. My battery life seems to be noticeably worse after the market update, anyone else seeing this?

My biggest question is does the new marketplace work properly with a non-gmail login for my Google account. I HATE gmail, and do NOT want a gmail address - yet Android Marketplace forced me to add one to my otherwise perfectly valid existing Google account.
Now the bloody gmail address has taken over (without asking me) my default Google and YouTube logins. Grrrr.....
And gmail, I have now found, has no technical support facility. At all. Period. Just a user forum, which seems pretty useless so far.
What a shambles of a way to operate a company that is providing the operating bedrock to phones selling for £500!

This is completely off topic. If you want to rant about Google, start a new thread.

Mine was just updated last night.

I noticed mine was updated about 6 hours ago. My G2 was at 9% battery life when I found out. I downloaded Tweetcaster (yeah, I took a dive and re-started my Twitter account), set up the widget and I still had 9% when I plugged it in, that was all of 10-15 minutes though so I can't comment on battery life.
I actually like the new market. So far, navigation is just as easy as it was before and looks much more refined and sleek than it did before. Personally (after consulting my iTouch's market with the new Android market), I saw a bigger resemblence to the iOS and Android markets BEFORE the update (back when both used block buttons). Since the update, there's a lot more curves and graphics in the Android Market than iOS (and I've looked at both...just now) and it just looks more appealing.
This is just IMO, but good job Google, I like it.

Went back to stock in hope of receiving market update. Nothing so far, am on the european desire z

I got the new Market this afternoon. Looks flashier but I find the carousel thing at the top of the screen doesn't work too well, and it's hard to flick it to the exact app that you want to look at without pressing on it. Maybe that's just me though ?

It does take a minute to load, wherein it's laggy, but after a minute or two the carousel works just fine for me (short swipes usually just move it one over).

[HELP] Virus Kingdom Revolution B1.3 email issue. Is there a fix?

im really sad.
i absolutely love this rom and appreciate you releasing such a high level, fully functional rom, virus.
i cant get the stock sense (3.0) email to stop force closing on beta1.3. it will open, but i cannot see any of my emails whatsoever. i HAVE seen them [once] while being on this rom however. I have also tried to just use the email widget to view emails. the emails will populate on the widget but when i choose a line item to open, it will force close before the email comes up.
i rely heavily on email and calendar functions since i work in a corporate job and cant go without these features even for a moment.
i didnt see that anyone else was having this issue. i had to purchase enhanced email from the market but it abandons the htc sense calendar feature totally. can someone send me a life boat? thanks everyone for helping people daily like myself because you genuinely care.
If there is no fix, can anyone recommend a ROM with everything tested and working until Virus can fix the issue? Is it just a ME problem?

i will have to flash over a new rom tonight unfortunately
does anyone have any recommendations? im not partial to a sense rom. need something full functional and battery life and fast performance is important to me. can anyone recommend one?

a couple of things
First off, this is posted in the wrong section. Being as though it's a question, it should be posted in Q&A.
Second, regarding your e-mail issue - I've been using V's Kingdom ROM since the beginning, and I have absolutely no problem with E-mail. I am also a corporate business user, and my E-mail, Calendar, etc functions work flawlessly. I can even print those items, using the "Print" menu function. Sounds like you got a bad download or flash, or didn't wipe thoroughly prior to flashing.

+1 - I have Zero issues with my email, calendar, etc as well. I would do a full wipe and reflash the rom.

Best roms for EVO 4G are GingerAleV4 & MikG-v2.00, 100% functionals, I recommend you to try them.

HTC Mail App Crash

The latest update to Chrome (webview) on March 6th breaks the HTC Mail app. It will FC or crash when trying to reply or compose. The app's reviews are taking a beating in the app store over it because folks are not associating it to the Chrome update but rather think HTC broke it somehow. To fix - roll back (Uninstall) Chrome. I hope this helps a few folks.

It wouldn't be the first time a webview update broke HTC Mail.
Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you soooo much for this info! I was getting desperate. I uninstalled Chrome updates, turned off auto-update, then rebooted. HTC Mail reply/reply all function now working again. For clarity, this is for an unlocked HTC-10 with the lastest Android 8.0 update package. Although the Android update was performed at least three weeks ago, the mail app only started to crash yesterday (at least as far as the first time I detected the crash behavior). This is the first real root cause solution I've found. Thanks again!

Htc. 10 email crushing since new chrome update. .if I remove the update twitter and some other applications are crashing. ...what should I do

Just use Gmail app guys. It is decent and, most importantly, stays up-to-date.

Still present in Chrome Beta 66.0.3359.30 selecting it as the webview handler in developer options.
If HTC are expecting Google to revert whatever they have done, will be a long wait. Fortunately they tend to release new versions with new devices so we will hopefully only have to wait that long.

HTC do not agree
https://twitter.com/HTC_de/status/973919420040048640
"Latest Chrome Update (application version 65. x. xxxx.xx) Unfortunately causes HTC Mail app crashes. ? Short-term workaround: Reset Chrome to previous version. Long-term workaround: Google introduces a new version into the Playstore."

This buck-passing between Google and HTC is inexcusable. Especially given this is another iteration of a years-old known bug. Not to mention the two companies are now official partners and co-developers.

I appreciate the information youv'e shared. Could you confirm if you are facing the same issue across devices? If yes, I suggest getting in touch with the HTC support for further assistance.
How much buck-passing do we need to endure between two supposed "partnered" companies until this is sorted out?

Anyone that uses HTC Mail actually test latest version available to see if it makes any difference?
I don't use HTC Mail app, or I'd test it myself.

Uninstalled updates for Chrome, and installed this version manually https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/chrome/chrome-64-0-3282-137-release/
That's the version just prior to the breaking one. Everything seems to be working fine. Disabled auto-update as well.

Also still broken with 10.80 but thats also older than this Chrome update, truly do hope HTC are on the case with it tho!

I can see a suggestion this is fixed in Chrome 66.0.3359.33 and beyond:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=823349
I only have 66.0.3359.30 right now so can't check.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=820756 also suggests HTC are working on a fix in the meantime.
So will be fixed at some point at least!

So the issue is gone with both the latest beta and canary versions but as I understand it, this is a workaround by Google and something HTC still need to fix.

If I use an API in my application and the API changes, I need to change my application and not wait for the API to change back (will not happen)...
HTC needs to fix this, not Google. They could even push code to the Chromium project, but it would be better if they took a look at HTC Mail first...
Also it is NOT an option to uninstall updates, ever. Updates are there for a reason
