I have wiped everything twice and am not getting any of the contact pictures to appear with my text messages. It happened when I first flashed Fresh .3 but I figured that something didn't wipe correctly. Anyone else see this? The contact pics show up normally under favorites and when scrolling through contacts.
Thanks
Everything shows up fine here. Idk what could cause that. Are you using the stock messaging app?
Yep, I haven't changed anything from the Fresh release with the exception of adding the voicesearch back in.
mine all show up fine too.
do this. delete the contacts.
then resync with google.
I finally fixed it! I opened an adb shell and used the find command to locate all files with mms in the name(find / -name *mms*) and purged them all. Then I reflashed Fresh 0.53 over my current install without doing any wipes and tada, it worked. Thanks for the suggestions.
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!
Hi All,
I wanted rid of the surplus bumf on my DHD so I installed Visionary+ and Titanium Backup to do so.
the usuall stuff went, Stocks, Facebook and then I saw something called com.HTC.Rosie.
It wasn't until I wanted to add a widget and some Googling that I found out what I did.
I managed to find the Rosie.apk file on my DHD and have tried various methods to reinstall it but to no avail.
I doubt anyone apart from me has been so fullish but can you point me in the right direction in how to get it reinstalled ??

Rosie is the sence launcher lol ok try this, put your device into recovery mode and connect it to your pc, copy rosie.apk to the same folder as adb (tools or platform-tools). Now use adb and type the following commands:
Adb shell
Mount /system
Exit
Adb push rosie.apk /system/app/
Exit
Now wipe the dalvik cache and reboot.

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.
Tronar
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.

Hey y'all!
Got myself into trouble today when I was trying to change to manu kernel.
Was sittning on GV3.3 and phone got into bootloop. Silly as I am, I didnt make a nandroid backup before. But afterwards i got into recovery and made one. The i recovered from a really old nandroidbackup. So right now im back in april appwise and scorewise(fruit ninja, the three angrybirds etc.)
Have updated all my apps and is once again back at gv3.3.
I have extracted the data file from my nandroidbackup i made after i got into bootloop and now want to push back the appdata/saves to some of my apps.
How do i do it? Never pushed anything before so im at total newbie on that one.
What do i need, can do it on my pc or my macbook.
If anyone could help me it would mean the world to me!
Kind Regards
Håkan
you can either adb push them whilst in recovery if you are s-on or you can use root explorer and put them in thbe right place with s-off.
Theres an adb and fastboot faq in my signature.
Dont bother with the fastboot stuff as that wont help you here.
Managed to get some things to work. Like Angry Birds and Angry Birds Rio. Angry Birds Seasons refuses to use the files that seems to have been pushed.
Also sms/mms pushing do nothing.
Been trying this :
adb push c:\backup\mmssms.db /data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
+
adb push c:\backup\.(all flies from app_parts is then in that folder) /data/com.android.telephony/app_parts)
Do i forget something? Have put my desire in recovery mode with update.zip and it mounts fine from my computer. Do I have to mount it in the telephone as well?
I would do this Whilst in recovery from a terminal:
Code:
adb shell
mount /data
exit
adb push c:\backup\mmssms.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
managed to get angry birds seasons score now.
But not my texts. Must i do something to restore them or will they be there automaticly when i reboot the phone?
This time i tried to rm the mmssms.db and all the files in app_parts. Then pushed the backups to their place. When I use ls i. /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and /app_parts/ all the files i pushed there are at their place. But still nothing shows up in the phone
can you push the entire contents of com.android.providers.telephony? After removing the entire contents of whats there?
when i pull it, it still there it seems. Pull only copies it?
So how do i remove a whole folder? And how do i push the folder back?

No dont pull it.
Code:
adb shell
mount /data
cd /data/data
rm /com.android.providers.telephony/*
Wooah! Somehow that didnt work, so i added -rf after rm. And it deleted the whole data folder. Trying to push the full content of data to /data/data/ know. Rebooting...
Didnt work. Lots of apps were FC. Recovered from nandroid. And tried it again. Was succesful in removing the /com.android.providers.telephony/ from phone. Adb pushed the other one i have on my computer but still no luck. Rom runs without problem but sms/mms is still empty when i check.
You sure i dont have to activate them or something? When i notepad the mmssms.db it sure is all of my texts. And now the whole folder is replaced with the one from my computer... Strange strange.
It should work. Odd. What about wipe of dalvik cache?

Will try it, ill be back
Got dammit! Didnt work that either.
I honestly don't know why this isn't working. It works for others. What about trying it straight from a factory reset?

Its not that I have to do something with chown radio.radio or chmod -r 775 or something like that from shell?
