[Q] Facebook not syncing - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Recently downloaded Repacked ICS Beta_0.1-0.1.6 and everything seems great with rom, a few minor problems:-
1. Cannot add facebook to accounts & sync
2. Having low storage problems on market
Please Help
Thanks

The ROM is in beta, so don't expect everything to work. It will be pointless to look for a workaround on something that's in development as things change quite often anyway.

Which HBOOT are you using? I had problems with CM7r2. Flashed stock HBOOT and with A2SD I got plenty of room for my apps. Btw, I think the facebook app is not yet fully compatible with ICS, e.g contact sync is not available.

[Q] CM6 nightly -- Extra steps still required?

Just a quick question with the current CM6 builds:
Are the market, and facebook sync fixes still required? I've been told by a few people that they arent since fingerprint for 2.2 evo is on market, and told by others I need to.
Same with the facebook.
I know the google apps are still required to have market and such, but are all the rest of the info under 'faq' here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729367 still required?
To answer my own question:
No

with the latest nightly, the market is fixed and all is available
concerning facebook, they've whitelisted cm6 and now you can sync contacts. the latest fb update is pretty nifty as well.
as for that nightly thread, there's a new one we're trying to get up and running in q&a. the link is in my sig. see you there

[Q] Motoblur on 2.3.4 wont login/create

Hi everyone!
I cannot log into my Motoblur account, and i also cannot create a new account.
Im currently on 2.3.4 and used this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127085
When i read this thread today, i noticed THIS: (page 30, post 291 and so on)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127085&page=30#
I know this is probably the wrong section but i do not have the permissions to post in the DEV section so i hope you can help me too
After a while of looking, i found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198307
I did this with root explorer, even though its not for this rom, but it didnt do anything- i still can not login.
To sum it up: Motoblur is no longer available for 2.3.4 on the normal MB525 , so i want to know if there is a workaround for this?
So my question is, is it possible to trick out the motoblur servers and make them believe i am still on Froyo ? For example replacing the 2.3.4 build.prop with the one of 2.2.2 ? Is this even possible ? I am not a developer and i am new to all this and i dont want to mess up my device so...
Thanks in advance!
Try this build.prop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17390827&postcount=7
Facebook and Twitter posts sync works for me, but not Facebook contacts sync.
Yes, posting works, but like you said : no sync of contact widget
hmm weird.
Maybe anyone with a stock Froyo build.prop? i dont want to flash the sbf :/
EDIT: Sending Messages via Facebook also works, but the sync behaves very weird. Also, the behavior of status sync is not normal. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not...
I think we have to test more Motoblur servers, not necessarily from Defy but other Moto phones with Gingerbread. I'm not using stock Moto GB now so I can't test it though.
About 2-3 weeks ago, i tested some GB Roms. At first, Motoblur worked!
I tested this here first and it worked all fine : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14439424&postcount=184
and i also tested JBoogie3 Blurry Ginger (6/19/11) wich worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14960914&postcount=96
After a while i decided to give MIUI a try - but i didnt like it that much so i went back to blurry ginger because i wanted 720p rec - and thats when i couldnt log in or create an account.
They both give me the same error now at Motoblur - everything else works fine. Havent tried the build.prop trick though!

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] Your favorite ROM: Sense or CM7?

Hey guys
I'm really interested in what kind of rom you like the most. Just answer the poll.
Currently, I'm running CM7 with MIUI theme, and I love it!
Camera is a bit worse, but download camera360 from market! It's free and has tons of options! Looks almost the same as sense camera.
If I could choose, I would run MIUI, but that's not an option for WFS.
- SENSEMOD is buggued like hell
- I cannot import SIM contacts into Cyanogen, unable to launch apps...
- JikantaruROM XE no french language
- Unable to install apps in Salsa
- JikantaruROM v1.1 Euro version working fine
- Android 2.3.5 HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2 [Rooted][Apps2sd] - Fast Stable is working with some bugs.
Did I miss something? I really want to find something stable to make my phone faster

Yes, but most of them are outdated, so don't care.
But about your issues with the given roms, i'm really wondering what problems you got and i would really like to know why.
Have you ever given a logcat to the developers of the roms about your issues?
Cause the unable to launch apps at cyanogen is pretty strange for me, did you try to tell it at the cyanogen troubleshooting thread?
Also unable to install apps is strange, i had both roms at my gfs phone and both worked like they should (cyanogen did even much more, that's cause it's the current rom she uses^^).
I had an issue with wifi on CM7x and Alquez troubleshooted it, provided a solution and I've been using the 7.2 nightly from the 18th since then and love it.
It is fast. No issues with running or installing apps either.
I would agree. If you don't try and address the issues in the troubleshooting thread can't expect solutions to your problems to magically appear.
can v use miui theme .mtz in cm 7.2????i realy like the i phone theme.....or v shoud hv miui rom ????

I am just a beginner in all that stuff and I reported the contacts bug for Cyanogen.
Did you find a fix? I needed to exports contacts to my SD card and reimport them.I don't know how to provide you the logcat... I used CM7 from the 18 dec.
On salsa, the phone rebooted each time I installed an application.
Anyway I wanna use an updated ROM and Cyanogen seems to be the only one for GSM

No fix, but at mine (the desire s build), when i push the menu button while i'm in contacts, I get 4 options, import from sim, import from sd, export to sd and share visible contacts. Have you tried this?
About logcat, look at the index thread, at the general guides section is a guide to set up adb on your pc, after you made this, enable usb debbuging at your device, connect it to pc with usb, prepare your device that it is short before the error occurs, type
Code:
adb devices
adb logcat
at the pc into the command line, reproduce the issue and hit control+c at the pc. Afterwards copy the output of the logcat to a textfile.
Or you can make the same as i described above, but just execute except of adb logcat
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
with this the logcat output is redirected to the textfile (you can name it however you want, but i think logcat.txt makes the most sense at this case^^) and you don't need to copy it.
When I chose import from SIM card, the phone replies that I have no contacts in my sim card (which is false of course). I already tried that.
I'll report errors later, I don't have much time now but thank you for the informations.
One more question. Is Cyanogen the only updated rom? I already checked the ROM list but I didn't find any other working for GSM

Flash back to original rom then go to contacts and export to Google account or go to settings - accounts and sync, then click on your Google account and tick the sync contacts.
Once done flash cm7 then repeat the steps in contacts click import and choose from Google account.
Just like magic all your friends and families numbers will appear.
Good luck.
I saved them on my SD card, that is working too
CM7
I have just recently S-OFFed my WFS with the XTC clip and have been using CM7 for a few days now... its great!!
CM7 with ICS theme is great, battery life is much better than the others
CM7 vs Sense
I have latest nightly build of CM7.... there's no comparison!
Tried all the various Sense ROMs i.e. Jakantarus, they're very nice but EAT batteries for breakfast.
CM7 with data2sd/ext2 partition is best, battery life is amazing. So far haven't found any problems, its pretty fast and has plenty of settings to play with. CM7 music player is all you need and has it's own Graphic Equaliser with speaker and Headphone profiles. CM7 camera is ok, with more functions than sense camera. Get TuneIn radio app for all your radio needs.
Looking forward to CM9!
I'm running CM7 and I like it in any aspect but I would like to try a MIUI theme. Here's my problem: I don't seem like able to download from these locations http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189723 can anyone upload the black one to dropbox and share the address with me please?
I do like CM7.Only thing that is annoying me is awfully quality of camera photos.
CyanogenMod 7.2.0
I'm using CM7.2 Nightly of Dec 18, lovin' it. [My dream was to have CM on my S-ON phone in those days lol]
Honestly I like sense. Cm7 is absolutely amazing for customization. But the polish of sense and contact merging has converted me....for now.

For now my favorite is Sensed m1ndh4x8r's ROM. Smooth, fast and stable. All i need)
Oxygen ROM for sure!
This ROM is cooking in my head: sense/cm7 mix!
Available in a month!
Now using CM7 stable with MIUI theme.
Testing and cooking HenseMod: sense without the crap, fast and stable!
Sense is ok, but I like CM more, because it's more memory friendly, no htc crap. I am willing to try every similar rom, even with sense.
