HTCFacebook.apk on Vanilla?

Im sorry i posted this originally in the Apps section got no bites so imma post it here ... please dont flame me lol
I am in no way a dev but i was just curious if this app can been run/ported to a vanilla android build?
I am currently running [ROM] YetiROM_Nexus_Inc (Vanilla 2.1)- stable with stock kernel ... I have tried pushing HTCFacebook.apk HTCFacebook.odex and FriendStream.apk to the /system/app via recovery caused a boot loop ... rm'd FriendStream.apk still boot loop ... rm'd HTCFacebook.apk and HTCFacebook.odex and phone booted fine... I knew it couldnt be that easy... are there other dependacies that HTC Sense apps need? Im guessing there is code inside the .apk that needs changed? Is this possible?

I am running Jager's 1.6.1 rom, and I pushed HtcFacebook.apk, HtcFacebook.odex, Friendstream.apk and Friendstream.odex to /system/app, and all is working fine with facebook sync on mine, with no ill side effects..... Just to let you know it DOES work that way.

hmmm ok i did not push the friendstream.odex originally ... ill give it another go ... thanks for the info!

the rom you are running still has alot of HTC stuff in it ... the one i am running has none... so im thinking there are other dependencies for HtcFacebook.apk to function ...

I was trying to get the HTC dialer running on yeti, but to no avail. I believe that some of the HTC apks need the sense launcher, not positive though.

yeah im not too sure its the sense launcher its looking for per se but there is definitly a dependency that the apps are looking for that arent there ... i posted this in Yeti's thread hopefully he has some ideas ... i may just start trying to copy over some more HTC stuff in the /system/app folder and see if i can get lucky lol

All of the htc ops and widgets are built to run only with sense. Only reason it still works on jager rom is because its still sense just all of the garbage is removed. None of the sense apps will work on a true vanilla rom or even a launcher running over sense (launcherpro etc.)

Correct - however I never had any facebook syncing issues when I was stock using LauncherPro. This only happens with other roms. I am trying lots to get it to work. Since you can have both facebook and HTCFacebook, maybe HTCFacebook does the syncing (using friendstream) and facebook (downloadable from market) just slaves the synced info from that.

HTCFacebook is the syncing i have yet to find a decent app that syncs facebooks contacts as well ... syncmypix is good but nothing like HTCfacebook ... and im coming from a Blackberry world where they do is great ... we get Yetis rom syncing contacts with facebook and its the best... i love vanilla android ... i have no clue why companies want to overlay there bloatware on top ... ie HTC Sense and MotoBlur

The syncing worked great on my motodroid. The thing is that the version of facebook available for download on market for incredible is downloading on top of HTCFacebook, so in essence you are really using both (this in stock incredible). I'm sure as more roms become available, since we are in early stages of custom roms, that this will be addressed.

There is a tutorial on how to fix this at droidsp0t.com

That tutorial is for yager rom which still has alot of sense on it and i would imagine those steps would work for most of the roms out there that still have sense i actually tried doing that with Yeti's rom and it caused a boot loop ... im talking about trying to get facebook to sync properly with "vanilla" android ie no sense at all

[Q] Synchronize on pays rom 2.1

I'm sorry to post here, because i dont have the right to post at dev forum.
I flashed pays-rom 2.1, and use Jorte . i just want to synchronize Jorte with my google calendar, but when i set the jorte , it always report error and crash when i open the calendar setting.
i recovery BlurCalendar.apk , BlurCalendarProvider.apk and CalendarSync.apk , and i fix that.
so, i want to know what other original apks cannot be removed?

If you want to be able add new events in the stock calendar, you'll also need the BlurEmailEngine.apk. those are the 4 apks you'll need to get the stock calendar fully working (I prefer it to jorte). I haven't found any others missing as of the v2.2 rom
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

Thank you for that information. Just for everybody else looking for this information, extract these files from the extra blur addon package that Pays publishes. Then you can put these files back in /system/app, for example with a short batch file. Then reboot, and you will have the stock calendar back.
Although the calendar is now working again, unfortunately my Android Agenda Widget isn't (others are working just fine).
Anybody any idea how to restore that functionality? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Google Contacts in ICS

After a few month with GB roms, i want to try the ICS rom (sandvold).
Problem: i can't sync my google contacts with the ICS rom. (calendar and browser works, google mail and contacts not).
I did a clean install, stockboot, full wipe,....
Is there a way to sync the contacts?

Some more information would be nice. For example which of Sanvold's versions are you using?

0.3.6, the last one.
With MIUI Au 2.1.20 the same problem :/

Should work on 0.3.6 Reflashed it allready?

And it's set to sync in settings? Works fine for me...

1. Install this to get all google apps:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
2. If a dev makes stock roms compatible, you can. As of now, no.
3. If a dev is working on it, good. But for now, no.

Install the gapps app via cwm. You get market, google accounts and all that. Check android market and xda for themes.

Flashing the gapps allows you to sync mail and contacts like you normally would

also i would like to add that for contacts you can export them to sd card from stock rom contacts (android feature i guess)...
it will store all your contacts on a vcf file on sd card.....flash cm7 and from cm7 contacts select import from sd card and select the vcf file....
no need for internet for restoring contacts...

AOSP JB and google sync

I tried some AOSP JB ROMs and none syncs with my google account: none restores my Wi-Fi passwords and my settings and in the menu Settings-backup and restore-account of backup (I hope this is the right translation, my phone is in Italian) there isn't my google accounto, but "Backing up to debug-only private cache.
Why does this thing appen? With my old nexus s it wasn't like this!
Can I do something in order to make AOSP ROMs work like the OTA?
Also the Gallery doesn't sync with Picasa, but I solved this problem puting the gallery of the OTA in system/app.
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks to everyone!

Depending on the ROM you may have to flash a GAPPs package

I always flash gapps when nedded..

Am I the only one with these problems?

Hmm..
Gapps package you're using is not working?
Does this happen with yakju/takju official images?
Sent from my i9250

other gapps work fine, but my phone doesn't sync settings and Wi-Fi history, I always use the package provided by the developer....
according to the galley, i found out that the AOSP gallery (gallery4.apk o something like that) doesn't sync with picasa, but I don't know what about settings.
gmail, the play store, current.......every gapp works fine apart from settings sync.
The official image and the OTA are OK, they work good.
