Porting Google Apps/Sync to Eclair/Hero

Now that we have a working AOSP Eclair for our Hero, we should start looking at how we'd go about getting the Google data sync and applications on top of the ROM. I've looked around for more information and it doesn't seem like anyone has gotten this working in any way.
Where do we start?

yeah anyone got any ideas? i want full 2.0 as well. i just want to say in the original aosp postings i tried pushing the libraries and got [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]. just so we get that out of the way.

I get much further than that. Currently the only thing I'm missing (I think) is the provider for android.server.checkin.

what did you do to get past that...?

yeah, lol been gone for two hours and already so much progress has been made. howd u do that?

I'll follow this thread closely. I have been waiting for a working stock android rom since the day after I got my Hero, months ago. This is grand.

release it and maybe another developers give you a sollution

You install the missing shared library.. in this case its a file that needs to go into /system/etc/permissions. I'm on google talk if anyone wants to play with me..

wait so what isnt working exactly? im going to try this now

When you go into a Google App, it pulls up the settings wizard. You can put in your information and it goes to the "this may take a few minutes" screen, but never actually gets anywhere.
Here's a log from that period:

how did you install GmailProvider.apk or gtalkservice.apk, i keep getting the same error after pushing the gtalkservice com or something to permissions.

If you don't post an actual error message, there's not much I can do to help you. There are a bunch of files that need to be pushed.
What are you pushing, and what errors are you getting. Not just the .apk name.. but WHAT apk and from where? Google talk is much easier for this sort of conversation (same username).

Downsite is that it is then a private conversation, and many people are interested in this.
Dit you use the files from here? http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/2009/11/archos-5-it-now-with-android-market-and.html

No, I didn't. And I can either work with someone quick and get a solution.. or we can sit here all day posting back and forth, which is incredibly inefficient. I'm not interested in doing that =).

I don't think we can do anything until we get an official ROM from HTC. The GoogleCheckin.apk is now a signed apk and we can't just drop another version in, or so it seems. I don't know a ton about that part of the system, to be fair.
Code:

I/PackageManager( 87): /system/app/GoogleCheckin.apk changed; collecting certs

E/PackageManager( 87): Package com.google.android.server.checkin has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!

Have you seen this threat? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586314
Seems like they got it working

Yes, I've seen that but I don't know what they've done to make it work. Also, I don't like this bit:
Known issues:
*Contacts do sync but you cannot use auto-sync. Please turn off auto-sync after the initial sync happens or it will eat your battery.

Dumb question here, but is it possible to install a given package to this rom? I tried to install the no-root Maps app through ./adb install Maps-no-root-aligned.apk, but I got an error message:
/sbin/sh: pm: not found
Also, will I be able to install specific apps if I enter their URL in the browser? Right now the browser tells me it can't download the file because the phone "does not admit that content".

Dreaming of 2.0
So i've been nosing around the dream forum, looking for ways to get apps onto a clean AOSP rom, and this seems to be the most promising method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565155
It strips the files from a nandroid backup, so its using software that we (the user) has purchased, rather than a download from HTC.
But sadly (not surprisingly?) it doesn't work for the Hero, just gives a bunch of FC's. And since i'm not a dev I have no idea where to go from here.

ive actually gotten really close to succeeding. i got to the welcome to AOSP on Hero (US) screen but then it freezes. it use to force close 20 apps. it freezes now which is better than before. now if only i can figure out why its freezing. the issue i get is this

[DEV] Can't compile CM 6.2 for HERO?¿?

Hi all,
Does anyone managed to compile latest CM 6.2 (froyo) sources?¿?¿. I get errors when compiling CMParts and if I choose not to compile CMParts, I get a package that gets me in to crash loops on first start.....
Many Thanks in Advance,

I'm not modifyng any code because first compilation of any CM sources I always use source as is, then I try this created CM-untouched-sources rom and start to make changes (I am developing on CM7 and would like to have my own CM6.2 too...)
Many Thanks,
Perdita2000

I would check two things:
A. That you updated all the repositories. Do another "repo sync" to make sure everything is up to date. If you are using some repositories which you forked (or someone else) they also need to be updated "manually".
B. Do a clean build, by totally removing the "out" directory and then try to recompile it.
If you are still having trouble I can try to look into it, maybe even tonight.

Download froyo_stable CMParts,then it is no problem to compile,or I upload my modified CMParts 6.2.0 with setcpu etc... if you want that

This should fix the issue:
Code:
cd packages/apps/CMParts && git checkout 69613a248519fed7d971bd6292013d36097d0107
- taken from http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15353-froyo-compile-cannot-find-symbol-error/
At least, that fixed the issue for me.

I have done A and B yet a few days ago, but nothing was solved and I found k0ner solution too, but It seems to solved compilation issue (can't find what patch 69613a248519fed7d971bd6292013d36097d0107 do?¿?¿, don't know how to search this code on git...) but ROM compiled doesn't boot (boot loop, but don't have error now, I will reproduce it and send logcat...).

Yes as you see in post above,download it and replace it with that CMParts you have now.

A fully up to date CM6 ROM? I sincerely hope this works out! I think this would be the ideal ROM for our HTC Hero. Gingerbread's a bit slow on the Hero, but Froyo has always worked well.
I'm just writing this to let you know I'd be hugely appreciative of any ROM that you end up producing here!

I am getting same boot loop as when I applied mentioned patch....
I have synced CMParts git with froyo-stable brunch and compile again (clean before new compile) and no errors (typical VM cores from out of memory .... I always get one or two during compilation on CM7 but everything works fine... not enough memory for compilations ( ), but after flash new rom it loops on HTC HERO with following errors...

In your /android/system/.repo/manifest/ you find default.xml edit the file and remove the path for advent_vega then run repo sync again

Many Thanks Elelinux ... and sorry about "my newbie questions" .... I'm starting to use github today (more than repo init/sync ... etc)..
Perdita2000

Checked out the "froyo" branch, did a "repo sync", added HTC proprietary files and ROM Manager and started the compile.
Ran into the same compilation error from the start of this thread.
Then applied bjk's fix from here (added the diff files there so you can apply then automatically with "git apply"), then compilation completed smoothly. Boots up just fine here.
What exactly is the error you are getting?

Boot error is posted thread . Did you tried stable or current branch?
Many thanks,

Ok, sorry didn't see it. Doesn't make much sense to me. I used the "froyo" branch (not "froyo-stable"). But this shouldn't matter.
From where did you take your proprietary libs? Try taking them from here: https://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_htc/tree/froyo (notice the froyo branch).

I always use device propietary files from device itself. Do you mean they could be wrong?, in fact extract-files.sh didn't pull every needed file (I thought it was wrong because haven't got any issue compiling CM7?¿?¿?).
I will try device files from koush and let you know!!!
Many Thanks to Everyone!!!

[Q] Is My KINDLE FIRE 1GEN WIFI BROKEN

Hi everyone,
i'm try to resurrect a kf 1 gen.
WIFI module seams dead and seems that for the same problem u'll get a replacement.
I can't ask for replacement seen that got no warranty any more.
So i post my logcat cause maybe someone can help, causa i can't understand how a dead module can ignore protected network

Well.
I forgot to say that i've rooted and installed jellybeam
Let's say i'd like to connect it to internet...
First way would be buy a new chip Jorjin WG7310 WLAN/BT/FM Combo Module and resoldering
Second way would be via usb tunnelling / reverse tethering throug usb cable but until now i wasn't able to make it work.
Any ideas or advices?
Thanks in advance,

[Tutorial] How To Logcat

Here's how to use logcat:
There are two main ways to do a logcat, within android, and through adb.
Logcat within android can be done one of two ways, through a Logcat app:
Here are two good examples are either: CatLog or aLogcat
I prefer catlog, because in my opinion it has a little bit nicer UI. Both of these programs can dump their logs to a txt file, which is very useful for debugging. Or, you can do it in terminal emulator:
Open your terminal app;
Type:
Code:
su
logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt
On the other hand, using adb to run logcat, in my opinion is much more useful, because you can start using it when android boots (i.e. once the boot animation appears.)
The code for logcat to output to a file is
Code:
adb logcat > name of problem.txt
you can also do
Code:
adb logcat -f name of problem.txt
how I prefer to do it is this way:
Code:
adb logcat -v long > name of problem.txt
with the -v flag & the long argument, it changes output to long style, which means every line of logcat will be on its own line (makes it a little neater, imo)
Note: When outputting to a file, you will see a newline, but nothing printed, this is normal. To stop logcat from writting to a file, you need to press ctrl+c.
Here's where using logcat (via adb makes life really easy)
Lets say you find a problem you're having after looking at a logcat.
For example:
When I was trying to use a different ramdisk, wifi wouldn't work so I got a logcat that's almost 1300 lines long (a lot of stuff happens in the background)
So if you are searching for an error in the logcat file (it's always e/ for error, f/ for fatal. Those are the two main things that will break a system.)

(mind you, that's 29 lines out of 1300ish, just for example)
I then could do the following with logcat:
Code:
adb logcat WifiStateMachine:E *:S -v long > name of problem.txt
and this will only print out any errors associated with WifiStateMachine, and anything which is fatal, which makes it about a million times easier to figure out what's going on!
In WifiStateMachine:E, the :E = to look for Errors, the full list of options is as follows:
V — Verbose (lowest priority)
D — Debug
I — Info (default priority)
W — Warning
E — Error
F — Fatal
S — Silent (highest priority, on which nothing is ever printed)
You can replace the :E with any other letter from above to get more info.
In order to filter out anything other than what you are looking for (in this case, WifiStateMachine) you must put a *:S after your last command (i.e. WifiStateMachine:E ThemeChoose:V ... ... AndroidRuntime:E *:S)

Nice guide.

New root method?

Some folks are trying to find an exploit for another Android device. I tried to apply it to the Fire TV stick, but the exploitServiceApp.apk won't install.

exploitServiceApp.apk was built with a minimum sdk version of 18. The Fire TV and Fire TV Stick run sdk version 17. That's why it wont install. It also seems to require mock locations to be enabled, which may prove to be a chore on the AFTV/S. Of Course this all assumes the AFTV/S is vulnerable to begin with.
Root sources seem to be:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/wip-mate-7-root-bl-unlock-t2995086/
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598

What would happen, if you would try to rebuild it with APK Tool and change the min sdk to 17?
I just did it with the Advanced APK Tool and attatched it to this posting. I'm not at home right now so I can't test it on my own.
APK-Info.exe says its a valid apk and the minimum sdk version is 17.
Important note: I'm not responsible for damaging your device if this somehow does.

It depends on the exploit, I read on another topic that it's based on a specific location in memory (or something like that).
That's presuming that it's even possible.
In regards to mock locations, is it possible to set it using the aosp settings apk?

It does install, but it goes straight to home after loading. Maybe it does work if it's possible to enable mock locations.

Trying to access developer options (which is where the mock location setting is) causes settings.apk to crash.

Odd, on a Fire TV Stick (running latest OS version) @androidyeah's app launches fine. However, it just displays the message "Note: Your device seems not vulnerable!" in the upper right corner.

I guess if FTV Stick + FTV using similar base firmwares, it is already patched or something :/

If you want to enable mock locations or change any other settings this is the way to go (does not require root):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/guide-change-settings-firetv-via-adb-t3015522
thought i would share this as people keep using on how manipulate the settings.db
I have done some root app development and stumbled across this binary a while ago.
Have fun!

That's a great tip, thanks.
Running "settings get secure allow_mock_location" returns "null". I went ahead and ran "settings put secure allow_mock_location 1" and "settings put secure ALLOW_MOCK_LOCATION 1" but it doesn't seem to have done anything. The exploitServiceApp APK still gives the same message. I sideloaded some location spoofing app from the Play Store and it complained that mock locations were not enabled.

That's a great tip, thanks.
Running "settings get secure allow_mock_location" returns "null". I went ahead and ran "settings put secure allow_mock_location 1" and "settings put secure ALLOW_MOCK_LOCATION 1" but it doesn't seem to have done anything. The exploitServiceApp APK still gives the same message. I sideloaded some location spoofing app from the Play Store and it complained that mock locations were not enabled.

The constant value is just "mock_location", you can see it if you click the constant name in the android docs.
So try "settings put secure mock_location 1"
If you try to get the value first and it doesn't return null it means your parameter name is right. I recommend not to insert values in the table that are not there before.

Wonder if that glibc bug could be used to gain root on certain Android devices.

Android doesn't use glibc.

Haha, had a follow-up meeting about that same vulnerability at work today!
