I dont think so... however I know that as far as contacts are concerned, you can download a csv from verizonwireless.com (in the backup assistant page) and upload it to you google account.
Hope this helps!

[Q] help! can't install htc mail.apk

i am trying to install the htc mail.apk. i am currently running shadowrom. i tried doing an adb push. it said it copied to \system\app but when i go in there with astro the .apk is nowhere to be found. Is it possible to run this with shadowrom? the reason i am trying to use this one instead of the email.apk one that came with the rom is because my cheap ass companies server is not compatible with the email.apk. with the htc mail.apk i was able to enter all the stuff and when it failed to check the settings i was able to just save them and it would work. with the email.apk i am unable to save them it just keeps telling me to edit the details. any help with this would greatly be appreciated. adb seems to be functioning properly to me. i just learned how to use it about two hours ago. but i tell it adb push mail.apk \system\app. it says it copied it but it doesn't show up. Thanks in advance
Are pushing the .apks when you are in recovery?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
It was in recovery. I tried with system mounted and without.
try it using root explorer..just drop the file in..restart
or try k9 Mail. I love that program. It seemed very similar to HTC's

Try ROM Manager
In ROM Manager, go to Download ROM>Ihtfp69>Goodies fro 2.2+>HTC Mail.
Let it install, see if that works.

ShadowROM is an AOSP ROM. I do not believe the HTC mail program will work as there is no Sense in ShadowROM.
There are several kinds of ROMs for the Incredible. HTC Sense based ones. HTC Vanilla ROMs which are ROMs that have most of the extra bloat removed but still have the underslying Sense dependencies (SkyRaider Vanilla is an example). Finally, AOSP ROMs which are Android Open Source Platform ROMs. These are what the phone manufacturers get from Google and embed their interfaces/applications/tweak in to. HTC has Sense. Motorola has Blur. These are all based on AOSP. It is one of the reasons internal storage was broken for a while on ShadowROM and Cyanogen. Why? Because Google doesn't program for every phone and every phone doesn't have it so the AOSP didn't support it. It's a vendor added feature. Likewise a Sense kernel typically does not work with an AOSP ROM as well.

Thanx to Bonesy for the first ports
Thanks to dsixda for kitchen
Cyanogenmod team for CM7 (used to port this)
And sebastian on magic forums for the initial port from wildfire S
Screens:
Cool man, looking forward to see the response, and hopefully test myself!
Btw, is the memory issue gone now (no Rosie restarts etc.)?
So there are two people now porting SebastianFM's rom to hero? Would you please give your roms a individuel name so we can easily see whos rom it is ^^ i will add it to my database but if both roms have the same name it will be confussing.

I don't know if bonesy still go on with the port, he don't have a Hero anymore.
But if he does still port the rom i will change the name then.
ok i didn't know that he doesn't have a hero anymore. so if he does no more ports it's all fine ^^
btw: thumbs up for doing this
Just flashed and it seems to be running fine! will just test it further. but...
IMPORTANT:
i've just realised an important step in porting this might be to find the commit in the CM source tree that made the animations so smooth on the hero again, this might solve the problems with the ui being laggy. I seem to remember reading "textview_setlimit" somewhere? erasmux might be a better authority on this.
thanks for porting this across!
EDIT: sense is reloading a lot...
Is HTC Hub/Sense.com working better with this version? As before there were problems with downloading the themes/widgets. Many thanks for the port.

+1. Please sign for use with AmonRA, if possible. Many thanks.
I tried this ROM this morning. I get the Sense restarts too. But I think when the restarts are fixed this ROM will be very nice indeed.
Thanks
P.S. Any chance of the Sense LWP? I know it's probably not in the priorities list at the moment, but if it is Sense reliant would it work on this ROM?

For anyone, like me, that needs this ROM signed, here's an uploaded copy on Fileserve: SebastianFM 0.3-signed.
The ROM is so much faster and more stable than the last release, so props to the DEVs on this, however with Rosie constantly crashing... Great Alpha release, alright Beta, but wouldn't recommend for everyday use just yet.
What kernel is here?
Thanx for signing

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] Gmail 5.0 on One M8 - using exchange?

Hello,
I've received my nexus 9, and discovered the support of exchange account on the Gmail app which is really great. I really wanted to configure the same on my HTC one m8, but I don't have the option when I add a new account.
I 've already checked that the versions are the same on both devices (5.0 1569867) but I lack the option Exchange from the drop list of the mail account type. (I have the Gmail and imap/pop option)
I' ve tryed couple of search but I found none reporting the same issue. Any idea there is a magic tricks to activate exchange support on the m8 (htc edition, not the play edition).
Thanks!
What's the version of Gmail on your HTC One M8? You can know the version from Settings > Apps > Gmail , under the application icon you will find the application version, exchange services was added in Version 5.0, and I don't think you we will be able to see it except if you received the new gmail version or side loaded it.

There is an exchange.apk that goes around which will enable it for you. No idea if it's version specific though. Let me try to find it and post it for you.

Here you are. As i said i don't know if the apk is version specific so try it on your own risk. After you install exchange.apk Force Stop and reopen Gmail. When you add account you will see a new option for "Exchange"
