I already Searched, MY ANSWER is not there.
I'm running Caulkin's 1.4, I removed sense (via his .zip).
After everything was up and running I opened ADB and removed a couple applications I didn't want, such as friendstream and rss.
One of the items removed was Mail.apk because I have always used K9 mail instead. I remove the same list of apps every time I install a Rom, never had a problem.
that is until today. For personal reasons I need to use the stock mail app instead of K9, however I cannot figure out, or find a way here to make it install.
If I copy the system apk... Mail.apk to my sd card and try to install, it gives me final message "Could not be installed".
Can anyone help me with some guidance of how I can do this? Or is it possible?
Disregard, Got it!
I'm trying to figure out how to switch a phone contact from Phone Contact to Google contact.
Id just make another contact as a Google contact the delete the other one off the phone, or you can log into Google online and add the contact through there and it will push it to your phone automatically.
Here's a bit easier way:
1. Open your People App
2. Navigate to Menu>Import/Export
3. Export to SD Card
4. Go to http://www.gmail.com
5. Log in
6. Go to your contacts on the left (I can't get to the page at work so work with me here)
7. There should be an option to import contacts
8. Upload the .vcf file that is on your /sdcard
If the browser on your phone won't let you, just transfer it to your desktop (usb, emial, dropbox...whichever way is your flavor) and upload it from there.
You can now delete all of your contacts and sync with Google to have them downloaded to your phone.
I was just trying to change a couple of contacts on my wifes phone. She didnt know that you should put them as a google contact so if anything happened there never lost. I'm getting ready to take her from Ava to Myn cause thats what I went to and I think Myn will have an update for the new software update before Ava. And it's fast as hell!
Yea, that method is good if ALL your contacts need to be changed. If you only need to change a couple, just make a new contact, as a Google contact, then delete the old one. I just tried on my phone, and there is no way to change them for some reason. You can change everything else about the contact, except changing from phone to google.
Hi,
2 question if anyone doesn't mind anwsering.
As I understand the DHD has 1.5GB of internal memory. I'm runing ARHD 3.3 with no extra apps isntalled and my availible space is only 0.93GB. Where did 1/3 go? When I was running stock I think I remember having about 1.3GB
Second, it is very anoying seeing all those facebook contacts clutering people I actually know, and I actually can't seem to figure out how to remove them!!
Thanks for anwsering!
Maybe the ROM was token that memory. And for facebook contacts just go people-menu-view, and check what you need.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
do you want to remove all the facebook contacts or just a few?
you can remove the data and re sync with facebook for htc sense to just sync cntacts
to do this you go to application manager and choose all
scroll down to facebook for htc sense then clear data
open facbook app and re sync
Storage issue:
It is possible that you have back-up, say, your stock ROM and that takes up the space of your internal storage. If you delete the back-up at ROM Manager itself or any file explorer you will notice that the storage will be freed once again. [Think carefully before you delete them, you may want to keep the stock ROM if whatever purpose in future(if any). Lol.]
Facebook contact issue:
Facebook contact you can remove them by signing out from Facebook and then sign in again, and you may wish to "Don't Sync" them. As a result those contact in your Facebook account will not appear in People app.
Cheers. =)
one more
Huge thanks! Everyone!
Yes I had 3 backups! Guess that was what was hogging my internal.
Facebook fix worked
Got another issue today, lol
I reflashed another ROM today and as soon as I logged into my Google and Sense account it reinstalled (restored) about 30 apps from my old ROM, which I don't want . I uninstalled them all, but when I went into Android Market they were still under "installed" and again I can't figure out how to remove them. Now everytime I try to flash a new ROM and sign in with my account it restores all those apps. Not signing into my account works though. How do I remove them, when I flash a new ROM I want it to be fresh, not cluttered with stuff (Kinda like fresh Windows install )
Any thoughts?
Did you do a full wipe when installing the ROM? It shouldn't reinstall the apps then, although any paid for apps will appear in your market by default but not installed.
Yes, I did a full wipe
Even when uninstalling them, they still appear as "installed" in market.
I still haven't been able to figure this out.
Every time I reinstall a ROM/Reset phone and sign in with my account it reloads 30 apps for whatever reason.
I've tried with another Google account (or w/o signing in) and those damn apps didn't install then.
Uninstalling apps doesn't even put them of the "my apps" list.
I somewhat suspect Titanium backup is causing these issues. Under settings I checked "remove market entry" in freezer and un-installer settings, and it still loads those apps. I also tried completly formating my SD card.
Any thoughts, guides,... whatever
The applications are installed because Android Market uses your google account to identify you and keeps a list of apps that you have installed. (Go to Android Market, login with your google account, choose "My Market Account" on the top of the page) This is to help users restoring their apps after an update. The list isn't always up to date though.
To avoid installing the apps after flashing a new rom, skip adding your google account until you go to Settings -> Privacy and uncheck Automatic restore. This should do the trick.
And the uninstalled apps will disappear from My apps in the market after a while.
What backup u deleted and how u deleted that backup,do u checked available internal memory after deleting back up.pls reply i am having same problem
Hi,
I am running Virtuous Sense 2.0.0, but since installing that MOD, I can't find the HtcFacebook App any more in my system.
Somehow HTC Facebook it must be still in the system, because the APK is in the system/app folder and I can add an account for HTC Facebook in the settings/accounts section. And that account then also syncs my Facebook-Contacts into the Contacts/People App.
But I can't find the Icon anywhere and I can't use/start the application, nor re-install it by any means.
To make things even weirder, the downloads app just told me, that it downloaded an update of 410kb dated 22.07.11
When I try to install that, it says, that this is a System Application, and when I confirm it lists the permission requests and when I hit "install" the progress bar comes up for a second followed by "application not installed".
When I try to do it manually, it fails too:
I opened the Terminal, typed in su to get root permissions. I went to /system/app and tried to install the HtcFacebook.apk from there typing
pm install -r HtcFacebook.apk
It fails with:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
when I go to /sdcard/downloads and try the same with the downloaded HtcFacebook.apk I get the same Error-Message.
I also tried ASTRO and FileExplorer in both directories with the same result.
Also using ADB commands failed.
Googling the error messages didn't get me any further than what I mentioned above. Now I am quite helpless...
Any help appreciated.

Nobody? Everybody who is running Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 is having no problems with the HtcFacebook App?
HTCFacebook is just the integrated facebook thing. If you want the facebook app back, you'll have to go to the market and find Facebook.
Here is a link to the market page, which you can install it from
-Nipqer
I know there is another Facebook App in the market available. But it does not have the same features as the HTC version. Before I installed Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 my original Stock ROM had an HTC Facebook App and after I downloaded and installed the regular Facebook App I had TWO Facebook Apps available.
Now, after flashing the Virtuous Sense ROM, I am stuck with only the one from the Market. But for several reasons, I want to have the HTC variant back. And there must be a way, since even the Downloads-App is telling me, that an update for it is available:
-------------------------
HtcFacebook.apk
synergy-base.googlecode.com
Ready 410 KB 22.07.11
-------------------------
Unfortunately trying to install the update just produces an error.
Am I really the only one missing the HTC Facebook App and the respective Icon to access it?

Instead of installing it do this
cd to where ever your adb is located (mine is c:/androidsdk/platform-tools)
place the HTCfacebook.apk you want in that folder and type this:
Code:
adb remount
adb push HTCfacebook.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
Should replace the current HTCfacebook.apk and you will possible get your facebook app back.

Thank you for the tip. I tried that. I copied the new HtcFacebook.apk from the /sdcard/downloads/ location to /system/app/ using Root-Explorer
I also set the correct rights (rw-r--r-- like all the other .apk-Files in the same folder) and the correct ownership (root and root)
Then I rebooted, but nothing changed.
My feeling is, that I need to Install the .apk-File, not just drop it someplace.

could try 'adb install HTCFacebook.apk'

As mentioned in my first post, I tried all kinds of ADB commands.
Code:
adb install HtcFacebook.apk
was one of them. All install attemps fail with the error message mentioned above.
I tried it again right now, here is the result:
Code:
adb install HtcFacebook.apk
1299 KB/s (499112 bytes in 0.375s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/HtcFacebook.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
My guess is, that somehow the certificate system is a little buggy with Virtuous Sense 2.0.0. Maybe the signing of the packages is therefore not recognized.
I get the same Error Message when trying to re-install the HtcFacebook.apk that was already in /system/app. I mean that package should be signed correctly, since it came with the ROM, shouldn't it?

According to HTC:
What’s the difference between Facebook app and Facebook for HTC Sense?
Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone app. It is integrated in People, Friend Stream, Gallery, and Calendar to give you up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts (their status updates, shared links, and photos) in these apps.
The Facebook app is a standalone app. Use this app to do most of the things that you would do when you’re using your computer’s web browser to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and sending Facebook messages.
The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook app and vice versa. If you want to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same login credentials.
Note: If you have more than one Facebook account, you may sign in to the Facebook app using your second account, since the Facebook app does not share the same login credentials as Facebook for HTC Sense.

I hope that clears everything up for you. I used to think they were two different applications that did the same thing, but they are actually two separate things. The HTC part only integrates Facebook into the rest of the phone environment.
Wow, that is weird. Thanx for digging up that information. It must be new, because I swear with the old Stock ROM I had TWO Facebook-Applications on my HTC Desire Z. Maybe they changed it for the Gingerbread 2.3 Upgrade?
I noticed one effect after copying the new HtcFacebook.apk into the /system/app folder: I had lost all my Facebook-Contacts in the Contacts app and had to re-add the Htc Facebook Account and refill the Login & Password Fields in Settings->Accounts & Synchronization to bring them back.
Nonetheless, all of this does not explain, why the automatic Update of the HtcFacebook.apk from the Downloads-app just fails to install. Is this a bug in the Downloads-App, because System-Apps are never supposed to be installed automatically? Or does this just apply for the HtcFacebook.apk? I can't test it out with other apps, because the HtcFacebook.apk is the only one, that every appeared in the Downloads-App so far.
Same problem with Facebook fro HTC Sense
I am experiencing the same problem after installing a new ROM to my HTC Desire.
This ROM works well and brings Android 2.3.3 and HTC Sense 2.1 yet I cannot find neither the "Facebook" app nor the "Facebook for HTC Sense" widget.
Each time I download the Facebook app from the market and launch it I get an error message telling me that "processocom.facebook.katana" got interrupted and when I try to launch the "HtcFacebook.apk" I get the message "Application not installed".
I cannot sort it out...
To install the HTC Facebook could you not just flash the rom over the top again?

What did you do when you flashed onto this new ROM? Which ROM is it, and have you used it previously? Did you flash a ROM cleaner of some sort?
I installed this ROM: AceSMod007 taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070
It is the first time I use this one (previously I tried MIUI, LeeDroid, InsertCoin)
I followed all instructions... I mean I wiped data, cache etc etc. then I installed the ROM and performed a Titanium Backup restore.
Yet when I was checking out the Facebook application I noticed those problems that I highlighted and I started looking for a possible cause and solution to that.

When you did the Titanium restore, did you restore system apps or system data?
I restored both them.
Now I tried delating the account under Settings->Account Sync and installing and de-installing the App from the market.
Then I recreated the account into Settings and the synchronization seems to work.
On FriendStream widget now I see FB updates too.
I tried to put on the FB widget (the Facebook for HTC Sense interface seems to be missing yet).
This looks like being hung on "Updating states..." although it takes me to the app when I click on it.
have you tried extracting the .apk file from the rom itself and installing?
if the rom is a zip file (it most probably is), the apks are usually found in one of the folders (maybe /data). extract the zip and look for the directory where all the apks are stored, and perhaps you can re-install just the programs you want.
hope this works.
I previously tried installing HtcFacebook.apk but as a result I got a message "Application not installed"
Now the standard Android FB widget seems to work too...
No traces of Facebook for HTC Sense though
Weird...

How do you launch the HtcFacebook.apk? Do you still have an icon for it? Because I don't!
And as dkmurphys found out, according to HTC, they seem to have intentionally given up their HtcFacebook App with the latest Stock-ROM update to Gingerbread 2.3.3
So HtcFacebook.apk is only still showing in the list of Apks to provide the background services for the HTC Widgets, like the FriendStream Widget for example.

I got myself into a situation I can't undo.
I wanted to try out the AOSP Email app because I'm tired of the stock app that comes with my Telcel-branded SIII.
I followed instructions;
Fully rooted 4.0.4
Delete Email.apk
Delete Exchange.apk
Copied AOSP files to systen/app
Change permissions to rw - r - r to email.apk
Reboot.
So far; the exchange accounts I had exploded. The phone freezes every few seconds and I get a pop up that tells me that either Exchange or Email has stopped working.
Tried to roll back. I can't. I had backed up both apks, but putting them back still freeze the phone every few seconds.
Decided the easiest solution would be to wipe to factory settings.
Even with factory settings the email + exchange don't work. Adding a corporate account force closes the email app.
At least the phone isn't freezing every 2 seconds.
So now I have a phone that has no email functions. I can add k9 mail or other apps, but I really want the AOSP Email app working.
After full factory wipe, I tried again.
I've deleted both files.
I've installed Exchange.apk
I've installed Email.apk
In both cases the dialog window says they were correctly installed, but an email icon will not appear in my app drawer.
With ES File Manager, I can see that even if OS thinks the apps were properly installed, neither apk appear in the system/app directory.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I wanted to give as much detail as possible.
What can I do? Do I need to flash stock ROM and give up? Has someone been in a similar situation?
Thanks!
