I accidentally erased Facebook for HTC Sense. Now i can't sync my contacts with Facebook. I'm rooted with unrEvoked, and i guess i have stock kernel. Any suggestions how to download this again? Is there something better for syncing with Facebook.
Thanks
Go to the regular facebook page from your browser and there will be a link at the bottom of the facebook page to download to your Evo.
Stealthl: thanks, but that only downloads the one in Android Market. I need the one that came with the phone, so I can sync with my contacts. Anyone have that ROM for downloading?

uhh... they're the same app? Many roms I flash don't come with Facebook at all. I download it from the market, log in, and it gives me the option to sync contacts.
I also would love to get this, since made the same mistake. Side note they are not the same.
Extract it from the Rom your using (zip) and push it into your system it re-flash the Rom.

That seems to be the app from the market right.
The app we're looking for is the one that comes on the evo from sprint. It is called HTC Facebook for Sense.
I am having the same issue where I deleted the HTC Facebook app thinking it was the same as the market FB app when apparently it is now. And now my contact list will not synch with Facebook.
I also tried to create a facebook account under "accounts and synch" but it didn't work presumably because I no longer have HTC Facebook installed.
This is what comes on the phone.
They are not the same. That being said... the one in the market is definitely better. The only down side is it wont sync your facebook calendar. (if that matters to you) It SHOULD do contacts. What you have to do is go to the home screen, then choose menu, settings, sync contacts, then choose the appropriate choice. Note: it doesnt open to the home screen.
If you still couldn't get the Android Market Facebook work with syncing your contacts, or if you still just want the HTCFacebook.apk, then here it is. You need to copy it to /system/app, using Root Explorer, or use adb to push it to system/app. It won't work if you try to install it like a regular app.
Edit: I just noticed that the OP was from mid November!!! HAHAHA
Copied to /system/app using root explorer get app not installed error any suggestions...its funny hoe you go crazy deleting stock apps when u first root then loose some functionality like the ability to sync

I would really just suggest the one from the market... or reinstalling the rom (no need to wipe if its the same rom, just clear both catches.

Once you copy and paste it into system /app, long press htcfacebook.apk. choose permissions. Be sure that the top rows of the first two columns are checked.

So,
everytime I flash a ROM, I have to manually delete and merge my contacts. Is there any way to preserve what I've already done? Will Titanium do this?
Also, is there any way to preserve where I have placed apps on my home pages? I can never remember which apps I put where, and I always get confused for a few days after flashing when I can't find apps.
Thanks
if your contacts are saved through Google, it will automatically sync them every time you log in to your Google account when you flash a new rom.
Not sure about the stock launcher, but I use ADWlauncher which has the ability to back up the screen configuration and launcher settings to SD, and restore them in the new rom. Works flawlessly

Hi
I recently updated to 2.3.4 over the air rooted version posted in the Dev section. Not sure if this caused the problem as i didnt really check while I had 2.2 stock but my Calendar app wont open. It comes up with the Force Close button instantly.
Is there a way to fix this or does the HTC calendar not run on the 2.3.4 update?
Can I somehow reinstall via Terminal? If so could someone kindly post the commands?
Hi guys any thoughts on this? Really want to get it working.
It seems that the sync doesnt work when i look in the sync settings. Sync com.android.calander. Has an exclamation mark error next to it.
i tried Root Uninstaller Pro to uninstall the calander then reinstalled. Also did the same for the google calander sync app. Still not working.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Use root explorer and go into system/app then CalendarProvider.apk youll notice that the dev put "new" after .apk erase the word new and reboot

Dont say this often by OMG! thanks very much that sorted it. I cant believe it, i looked at so many file names but not that one!
Hope this post can help any others with this issue.
Now that the dump is out, im hosting the gmail apk again! enjoy!
here it is guys, the newest Gmail 4.2 Reported to be working for Android 4.0+, rooted devices only. If you are having issues with 'waiting to sync', clear app data under settings and try again
Installation Option 1:
uwdus said:
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

Does this pre-release version supercede future Gmail updates?
Thanks for the update. Love the new pinch-to-zoom feature! (BTW, swipe to "archive or delete" always archives for me. Can't figure out how to choose delete, instead.)
Question: Now that I have this pre-release Gmail2.apk installed, does this mean that I won't get any more Production releases of the Gmail app? (After all, I uninstalled the original Gmail app with Titanium Backup before I installed the new Gmail2.apk.) Once Gmail 4.2 is formally released, should I uninstall the Gmail2.apk and re-install the deleted Gmail.apk? (Will that work using TB?)

As of now gmail won't appear in your play store. Once it's released to the public, you should be able to uninstall the leak and just download the new one from the store.

I always delete the gmail ap in favor of K9 mail. Can the gmail app be used for other pop3 email accounts as well?
I flashed my ion with the latest at&t ICS then root it with bin4ry's method. It installed the superuser and I can uninstalled apps using the flashtool but when I try to uninstall through the phone I can't (tried it with apps then going to app I want to uninstall, instead of uninstall I only get disable). Am I missing a setting? I remembered when I flashed my phone with the international ICS I can simply uninstall all the apps I want.
Thanks in advance and thank you for all the guides and other things that makes this phone fun to use.
Actually even with international firmware there are some apps you can't uninstall through the settings -> apps menu. For those apps use something like root explorer and remove the apk manually in the system/apps folder. That removes it from your phone.

If you are trying to uninstall system or certain preloaded apps you need to use ti-backup from market. The /settings/apps program will only uninstall user apps not system apps

Uninstall Almost Any System App
Have you ever wanted to remove a system app?
To remove a system app you need to have:
1.Rooted Phone
2.Root Explorer(ex.ES File Explorer)
3.Custom Recovery(or ability to reset dalvik and cache)
4.Apps to Remove!
Let´s get started!
0.Make a backup of your phone just in case.
1. Remove the App´s data.Go to Settings/Apps/All/ and select the app.Then Clear Data and Cache.
2.Navigate with root explorer to /System/App/
3.Select the app that you want to delete and delete it!
4.Then Clear Dalvik and Cache(This will remove the app from the apps list)
5.And Voila! You removed a system app!

thanks for all the answers.
Do you guys know how to get rid of the "yp local search" from contacts? Also sometimes when I go to my contacts, it tries to retrieve an at&t address book.
Promise this is the last question. Thanks again
As Spec mentioned go to /system/app delete whatever you want by using root explorer or something similar

I have uninstalled all att apps and still have that in contacts. Now when I click it contacts force close. Might be built into att contacts apk. Maybe try the one from generic international

1- uninstall Gmail using Titanium back up/ restart phone.
2- using rom toolbox edit build.prop
Search for ro.buid.type and Change "user" to "userdebug"
And it should work let me know
Worked for me just had to:
1) uninstall the old version (titanium)
2) move the downloaded apk to system\priv-app, and change the permissions
3) reboot
4) change the buildprop to userdebug

That is what I did too - when I first tried to uninstall Calendar using Titanium, I didn't see the ap in the list of programs - all I saw was Calendar Sync and Calendar Storage...
So I made sure I backed up the ap in TB - then uninstalled Calendar Sync - then installed the new GOOGLE Calendar by clicking on the ap file on my SD Card - I rebooted and found I had TWO Calendars installed - I then saw both calendars (the old one and the new one in TB) so I uninstalled the old one - rebooted - and all is good.
Look - sometimes I am like a bull in a china shop - but I always make sure I can revert what I am doing in case I do something really stupid - and this time, it worked!
EDIT - what is weird to me is that I did not see the Original GOOGLE CALENDAR in TB when I first tried to uninstall - but after installing the new Calendar - I saw both in my list of aps in TB - odd...
