[Q] Fix swype and "bake" contact info, etc - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been using my EVO for a few months now and have run into some problems. I am coming from the world of windows mobile so this is all fairly new to me, please be kind.
Questions...
1. I downloaded the official updated rom from Sprint, but it looks like it has an OLDER version of Swype than the beta version I was using. Since it's included in the rom I can't figure out how to uninstall it. It's almost unusable! Help! What do I do to fix this?
2. There are lots of program "killer' apps out there, which one is the best? Also, is there a list of awesome apps I should just have?
3. I want to "bake" the Facebook image and contact info into my google contacts, how do I do this?!
Thanks in advance.

no one? :/ need some help here.

1. Just download the Swype beta from Swype's website.
2. Don't use task killers, android 2.2
3. It's under facebook's settings, sync all contacts.

I had swype's beta installed and when I did the OTA update it made me uninstall it.
I want to make the information from the Facebook app transfer over to my google contacts permanently.... I don't see a setting for that?
Thanks

NEW Market 3.3.11

Hi All,
Thought I would let you all know that the new marketplace has just come out, Version 3.3.11.
Details of the new market (copy & paste)
Note: Root is not required.
Note: If the Market starts force closing, just open Settings >
Applications > Manage > Market, and clear data.
What's changed? So far, we've found:
New setting: Auto-update apps (presumably, sets all apps to auto-update mode, woohoo!)
New setting: Update over Wi-Fi only
New setting: Auto-add shortcuts (automatically adds homescreen shortcuts for new apps, a la Honeycomb)
Smaller font
New app drawer icon
Microphone (voice command) button in search menu
Star rating chart on app pages
Minor UI tweaks
Download link here:
http://min.us/mbkcCQPLvP
Original Source of info here:
http://www.theandroidlinks.com/Andr...-update-over-wi-fi-only-shortcuts-and-more-1/
I have personally installed it, and it works perfectly. It is (in my opinion) ALOT faster, more responsive than the 3.2.0 which i had previously had installed...
If this has helped, please click thanks below.
Cheers
Hi!
Only one (noobish?) question: but Market is capable to upgrade itself or I have to download and install new release?

It can and does upgrade itself, but only when its officially released by google and pushed out to phones via the market updater.
This release here is pre-released version of what may or may not be pushed out by google. So if you manually update it yourself, you will have the newest version now. I for one, love having new apps, roms, kernels etc as soon as they are released.
Coming from 3.1.5, the new Market seems more responsive (but it might also be the upgrade to Android 2.3.5 )
Anyway, thanks for sharing!
There has already been 4/5 threads and download links about this already, i wouldn't call it an incredible speed increase but it is noticeably better than the last version but unfortunately still pales in comparison to the iClone app store but im sure Google will get there eventually.

O rly, sorry i had a 3 page look back to see if anyone had posted anything about it before posting, and couldnt find anything - so i thought i would share.
Coming from Market 3.2.0 i notice a huge speed increase, but that might just be my phone compared to others.... edited the title to not mislead others into unconfirmed speed increase.
Cheers
Agreed, lot much better, thanks
i have tried downloading it and when i install it stays on 3.2.0 any ideas on how to get it working
thanks
Heres the method i used:
1) Get root explorer (or some app that allows root exploration - ES file explorer also does this and is free.
2) go to SYSTEM/APP and rename "Vending.apk" to "Vending.apk2"
3) rename the new "Market-3.3.11.apk" to "Vending.apk" and copy it onto your SDcard
4) copy this new "Vending.apk" from your SDcard to SYSTEM/APP (paste)
5) hold your finger on the new "Vending.apk" thats inside the SYSTEM/APP folder - go to permissions
6) tick all 3 of the first boxes on (READ column), and only the top box in the second row (WRITE column), and none in the 3rd row (EXECUTE column) then tap ok
alternatively - you can just copy the file onto your SDcard and run the application, assuming you have:
Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources (Ticked on)
I have installed it on Samsung Galaxy S2
My existing version is v3.1.5 have updated to this v3.3.11
I will use it for few day and let you guys know if getting any errors !
Thanks for update !
It's not a pre-release, I'm in the uk and my phone auto updated to this version about 3 days ago.

I notice they still haven't fixed the bug where you update an app which i done last night, it appeared to update fine, i just check the market now and the very same app is there waiting to be updated
If you feel market loads too slow, try this:

I get this to, also auto-update doesnt seem to work.
I've seen this many times. If you install an app from outside market it seems like market comes "out of synch". When it says update for the market app it's the latest official one. The way to get rid of this false update is to uninstall and install again. But then you are back to the official release.
But i don't think you should do this with the market app. I'm not sure if you get it back. If you loose it, just install the market.apk from the OP.
Thanks man!
It wont install in my phone, either install or renaming to Vending.apk and moving to apps...
I'm not sure if it's just me but it seems that this release fixes the issue where the market app gets stuck at "loading".

[Q] Application suggestion

Hello, I am new to this so have few things to ask more experienced users.
1. I have Rom manager. I got Premium version (the same version 5.0.0.6) but when I tried to install it I get a message 'cannot install'.
2. I would like to replace the default messaging app in Cyanogen to be Handcent SMS. How to do this?
3. What app do you suggest for finding your phone if lost and erasing and locking it? In the stock rom-s by At&t and HTC there was one in HTC sense.
4. What other good roms are there which are stable next to Cyanogen?
Thank you. As I said I am new and eager to learn ;-).
Most cyanogen variants like absolution and black ice are stable and have there own tool sets I prefer them to standard cyanogen install...most sense are stable its trial and error dude. You can theme pretty much all of them anyway. Ics is still in development..most of it's working sweet. As for SMS you just get it from the market I thought. I don't personally use it..to many opitions haha. A lot of things you lose from sense roms you'll find in third party apps anyways

1. Did you actually buy the premium version of did you download it from somewhere?
2. Download Handcent sms. Open the ROM.zip and navigate to /system/app. Place the handcent.apk in that folder and delete the stock sms apk. Close the window, place the ROM.zip into the root of your sd card and flash through recovery. Always do a wipe/format before flashing a new ROM.

[Q] How to undo an app update?

i see a lot of people are having trouble with the most recent update of Handcent SMS, myself included. basically what i am wondering is if i can somehow undo this update and rollback to a previous version. the current version is 4.6.1 and the one i would like to go back to is 4.5.
Thanks!

See if you can find that version on Google
You can't undo an app update, however you can uninstall the app, search for it's apk version on Google and install it. But then it won't be linked to the Play Store and you won't receive updates for it. For example, you can find the 4.5 apk here (link is after the overview section). The only reason I'm providing you a link to download is because it's a free app. Links to apks of paid apps must never be provided.

Requirements:
Read the FAQ in post #2 to check for solutions to known issues.
AOSP ROMs require Jellybean 4.2.x for full Gapps package.
Touchwiz ROMs require Jellybean 4.1/4.2 for the Aroma installer.
Note that while other versions may indeed work with modifications, only those with 4.2.x on AOSP and 4.1/4.2 on TouchWiz will receive support here.
Some of these zips only support AOSP-based ROMs, such as Cyanogenmod, AOKP, and so on.
Touchwiz ROMs should use the Touchwiz Aroma installer, not the main Aroma installer.
Sense is not currently supported.
You must have a rooted device.
CWM, TWRP, 4EXT, or other custom recovery installed.
Note that not all recoveries are supported, but the zips should be fairly universal.
A minimum of 225MB of free system space for the FullFlash, and 115MB for the QuickFlash.
Touchwiz Aroma requires 125MB of free system space.
NOTE that if you aren't sure of your free system space, you can simply open up Titanium Backup, and it will tell you at the bottom of the home screen.
DeOdexed ROMs ONLY are supported for AOSP ROMs.
Touchwiz Aroma supports Odexed and Deodexed ROMs.
Note that most all stock ROMs are odexed. If you aren’t sure about a custom ROM, ask your chef.
A full wipe is required before installing these zips. If you don't, then do not ask for support. Make a full backup before flashing in case something goes wrong.
Explanation:
Aroma zip is the mack daddy of all zips. It contains everything, but it is packaged into an interface that allows you to pick and choose which apps or gapps you want to install, all from your recovery.
Full Flash zip is a full and complete inverted Gapps package for your JB 4.2+ ROM. Just flash your ROM.zip and then this one. No need to flash any other Gapps packages at all.
Quick Flash zip is a simple zip that installs all the inverted apps by Team Blackout into their proper places. This should be flashed after your normal Gapps package for JB 4.2+. Stock apps other than Email are not included in this zip.​
Instructions:
Download the zip you want based on what you want installed.
Boot into recovery.
Make a backup before doing anything in case something goes wrong.
Full wipe your device.
Flash ROM.zip
Flash inverted.zip (gapps first if using quickflash on AOSP)
Reboot.
Do not restore data from non-inverted apps.
Downloads:
Do NOT hotlink/direct link to my zips. If you want to share this work with someone else, then please direct them to this thread. I just want new comers to know where to go for help or to say whether something is or is not working. I prefer that the work not be spread out all over the place. Keeping in line with XDA's new sharing policy, it is for those reasons, that I do not allow anyone else to reshare my work. If you have any questions or concerns about that, please post in this thread, and I'll PM you about it.
CLEAN WIPE IS ALWAYS REQUIRED!​
Downloads can be found on www.inverts.cajunflavoredbob.com/. Don’t worry, there’s no signup, ads, or any other nonsense. It’s just an easier way for me to track downloads. MD5 sums and file sizes are listed next to each download to verify file integrity.​
Problems:
If you have any problems, read the FAQ. If your question is not answered there either, search the thread. If it is still not answered, then post your question using as many details as possible. The more we know about your problem, the better we can help you.

Want to help out?
If you guys really want to help out with this project, you could help get me more online storage. Copy.com will start you off with 20GB of storage (normally 15GB) when you sign up with my referral link. I receive an extra 5GB of storage for every referral I get as well, so we both win and it's FREE!!! So since This project takes up a ton of space, I'd really appreciate it if you guys would spend five minutes on this and help me out. The more storage I get, the more I can sync between machines to work on this on the go.
https://copy.com?r=glOhQA
After signing up, you can install the desktop app for Windows, Mac OSX, or Linux, or the Android App or iOS App. This is how we both get our extra 5GB of space.​
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why didn't MMS/People app invert? Why does People app force close? Why did my dialer disappear?​Not all ROMs are compatible with the MMS and People apps. If you experience any of those issues, please DO NOT use the Full Flash zip. To fix it, just push the contacts.apk file from your ROM.zip to /system/app, then set permissions to -rw-r--r-- and reboot.​
2. Why does Google Keep have a white background for new notes?​If you have a white Quick Note background, just touch into the field, and type a letter. The color pallet will appear on the top right corner of the field. Simply touch it, and select black or whichever color you want to be default. The white will then be gone. Here's a screenshot, if you're confused.​
3. Does the inverted Play Store here support multi-DPI?​In the Aroma installer, you have the option to install the Inverted Multi-DPI Play Store separately from the regular inverted Play Store. The Multi-DPI one is deselected by default. If you happen to select both of them, the multi-DPI one will overwrite the regular one. The FullFlash and QuickFlash zips do not have the multi-DPI store at this time.​
4. Craigslist doesn't show my city.​I've been able to find my city by changing my country to Africa, then scrolling down the list. Team Blackout is working on a fix for this.​
5. Tango doesn't install properly on my Touchwiz ROM or gives me a message "ERROR 62" before it force closes.​Open up your file explorer, and navigate to /data/app. Tap on Tango.apk to install it directly. This should fix things for you.​
6. Google Plus has some non-inverted parts in the settings menu.​If you come across this, re-run Aroma, and select the option to fix Google Plus. That should take care of things for you.​
7. The Mighty Text app is all squished together, or looks strange.​This is an app designed for tablets only. If you don't have a tablet, please skip this one. It is de-selected in Aroma be default for this reason.​
8. Slacker is transparent instead of blacked out.​To make it inverted, there is a night mode checkbox in the settings menu. Check it and enjoy.​
9. Email doesn't show up in my app drawer.​If it doesn't show up, try renaming it to Email2.apk and reboot. If that still doesn't fix it, don't use it. It isn't compatible with every ROM.​
10. YouTube Downloader is not shown in my app drawer/YouTube icon is still red.​If you don't see OG YouTube Downloader in your app drawer, and the YouTube app icon is red instead of blue, it is not compatible and will not work. You don't need to do anything in this case. It works fine on most ROMs, and remains inactive on others. Delete it if you want, but it should not cause trouble if you leave it alone.​
11. Why isn't Google Calendar showing up in my app drawer?​The Google Calendar from the Play Store and is a signed application. Uninstall the Market version, and either delete or rename the system/app Calendar.apk to Calendar.apk.bak (or just delete it). Reboot and enjoy.​
12. I need immediate help! None of these things solved my problem!​You can usually find me on #midnightgapps on IRC. If you aren't familiar with IRC, just click here, enter the chat, then leave me a message. If I don't answer right away, leave me a message and I'll respond when I can, or respond in the thread when I am available again.​
13. I have an issue not listed here.​If you need to ask for assistance, please post the following things even if you feel that they aren't related to your issue.

Yes, I'm aware I already have a thread for this. I'm adding Touchwiz support soon, for the Note 2, so this will be the thread where the magic happens.

I should have a first test version late tonight. I'm still working on the scripting to make sure odexed ROMs can be supported too.
If you need a test guinea pig, let me know. I'll be home from work around 9 PM est tonight, I'm more than willing to hep out if I can.

Everyone who downloads it will be my test subjects.
I'll try to finish it up after church.
OK here it is. This version should worked correctly, but as I don't use Touchwiz, I can't be 100% certain.
This version has none of the stock Android apps included, such as calendar and contacts. Those do not work on Touchwiz, so please don't ask. All other Google and Extra apps are included.
Possible issues:
The Dropbox included in this package will probably disable the integration with the Samsung framework, so it will not likely allow syncing from your Samsung account. The app itself should work just fine, though.
I'm not sure if Google Music is going to work or not. Please let me know.
Google Maps may or may not work with Touchwiz as a system app. Please let me know.
I have no idea if Chrome and Google Now will work correctly or not.
This should work for the Stock 4.1.2 ROM odexed or deodexed, as well as 4.2 custom Touchwiz ROMs. Make a full backup before you flash this, so you can restore if something breaks.
Flashing instructions:
Boot into recovery and make a full backup, then reboot.
Uninstall any apps that you wish to use from this package from your phone before you flash.
Clear data and uninstall any updates to system apps that might conflict with this package.
Boot back into recovery and install this package.
If something does not install, or it gives you some sort of trouble, please report the issue here. Be as specific as possible.
MAKE A FULL BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING!

How to report an issue:
List the following things in your post.
Android version
Recovery version
Link me to your ROM
Be as descriptive as possible on what the issue is. Remember that you might need to explain it moreso than normal, since I have not used Touchwiz in a long time. I'm working from memory here on most things, so help me to help you.
Can't wait to give the tW version a spin. Props for all your work on these projects. I'll report any issues I have with the apps I use.

Hey cajun thanks for the tw beta man I'm really liking this cause now I don't have to be installing these inverts individually. Lol
Now straight to work.
My current setup
a) Samsung Galaxy S3
b) Android 4.1.2 "Jellybean"
c) CWM 6.0.3.1
d) Hyperdrive Rls14 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36897687
I followed ur instructions on how to install this down to the last word and the following problems arose:
1) Dropbox and Tango both installed both are force closing as soon as you try to open them.
2)I selected Tunein through the aroma installer and it didn't install.
Now I didn't see any errors while running the installer which is a good thing.
I will see if I can find a solution for the problems I mentioned and update you with what I get.
Update:After trying to fix the above problems by wiping data and cache for Dropbox and Tango I realized that Tunein showed up in my /data/app folder just that it didn't install completely. So I ran the installer again without uninstall the 3 apps and just selecting Dropbox, Tango and Tunein. Now Dropbox didn't install completely, Tango doesn't work again and gives me Error 62; and Tunein installed fine this time.
Update 2:After many attempts to get Dropbox and Tango to work they never did. So I extract those 2 apps and installed them manually and they worked.

That is the last try through aroma installer. Decided to save that log and forward to you to have a look at it.

Did you uninstall any conflicting apps and delete app data for them before installing this?
I'll download your ROM and look to see if something is conflicting with this aroma package to be sure.
Dropbox is the one I'm not surprised by the trouble. Tango shouldn't give any issues, but I'll check it out. TuneIn is a script error, and should be fixed in the next update.

Yes I doubled checked everything before running the installer to make sure we got the best results possible.

Ok. Well, I'll check out the ROM.zip as soon as it's finished.
Check in /data/app and see if TuneIn.apk is in there. It may just not be showing up in your app drawer.

The log shows a successful installation. The script for those two apps may need to be tweaked since most Touchwiz ROMs have dropbox included. Tango has me completely stumped, though. It should be working flawlessly.
Although it should not matter, the only thing I can think of that would be preventing then from showing up would be the recovery. TWRP is what I do all my testing on, and is what my scripting is based on. CWM should handle all the scripting just fine, though, so I really don't know.

Post #10 if you want to help test.

[Q] PA without gapps possible?

I am planning to flash PA to my old Nexus 7 (Tilapia) without gapps. The idea is to find out whether an Android device can be decoupled from Google. And whether such a device can still be used in a normal day to day scenario for surfing, mail, contacts ...
There are many apps out there which could be used instead of the apps in the gapps package (i.e. play store => f-droid, mail => k-9, chrome => firefox, maps => navit / OsmAnd, ...). And with a simple raspberry pi and owncloud also some of the google services can be replaced by an self hosted solution.
What are your thoughts on this:
- Is this possible in principle with PA?
- What should I watch out for when setting up the N7?
- Any other suggestions?
Of course you can do it. The ROM is functional without gapps

I don't know what it is you should be watching out for when trying your experiment but I believe it can be done. You'll have to use a 3rd party app store to download the apps you want to replace the stock apps with (k-9, etc). But once you start doing that, what's the point?
To prove you don't need to use Google Branded apps? Just root your device, install Titanium and freeze all the google apps. Same thing, right?
Just flashed PA without gapps. Added some great Apps from f-droid. Everything works great. Next steps will be to Conect to a dropbox server.
Currently I am getting a notification that a new system update, a new gapps version is available. Can I somehow disable in PA the check for new gapp versions?
Thanks!

Thanks Pirateghost, just found it.
I am currently running into two issues:
I installed the "920 text editor" via f-droid. But when I try to start it the app it opens for a nearly a second and then a error window says >"920 Text Editor" wurde beendet.< (I am using a German system; translation something like >"920 Text Editor" was stopped.<). Is there a log file which could provide more information why this application was not able to start?
I paired my German bluetooth keyboard (QWERTZ layout) with the nexus. But unlike to stock Android in PA they keyboard is mapped with the American layout (QWERTY layout). So some keys are not inline with the labelling. I did not find a way to change the used layout in the settings. Any ideas?
