[APP][Q] Facebook 1.4.0

so Facebook updated their Android app. When i try to update, installation was unsuccessful.
Having had to deal with this before....i backup'd w/ TB, uninstalled, restarted, and trying to update again. Same issue (installation was unsuccessful). Now, TB won't let me restore my backup for some reason
Has anyone else experienced this yet or know how to fix it??
Worst case, could someone upload the 1.4 .apk for me?
Thanks guys.

Some ROMs will not allow the update...for instance I'm running Ultimate Droid and launcher pro fails for done reason.

I had to uninstall w/ TB and Reboot. Clear cache/data from market (restart) in order to install.
Then had to fix permissions with rom manager in order to run the app.
Seems like quite a hassle...wonder if anyone else is going through troubles

Market told me there was an update available, I went in and did the manual update and it d/l and installed with no problem. See device info below. We finally get to catch up with the iPhone zombies with "Places"....cant say that I missed it too much.

I'm running Uncommon Sense and I can't update to FB 1.4.0 either. It just says installation unsuccessful. If anyone finds a solution please post.

after it fails in the market, go to astro sdcard/download and instal from there. Thats what i do with all the fail installs. Always works.

Ugh I'm on uncommon sense to, no fix yet guys?

If your facebook apk is in the system/app directory, you may need to manually delete the apk (use Root Explorer), reboot, then try installing Facebook from the market.
(This worked for me with Uncommon Sense)

Calendar wont open - how to fix? 2.3.4

Hi
I recently updated to 2.3.4 over the air rooted version posted in the Dev section. Not sure if this caused the problem as i didnt really check while I had 2.2 stock but my Calendar app wont open. It comes up with the Force Close button instantly.
Is there a way to fix this or does the HTC calendar not run on the 2.3.4 update?
Can I somehow reinstall via Terminal? If so could someone kindly post the commands?

Hi guys any thoughts on this? Really want to get it working.
It seems that the sync doesnt work when i look in the sync settings. Sync com.android.calander. Has an exclamation mark error next to it.
i tried Root Uninstaller Pro to uninstall the calander then reinstalled. Also did the same for the google calander sync app. Still not working.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Use root explorer and go into system/app then CalendarProvider.apk youll notice that the dev put "new" after .apk erase the word new and reboot

[UPDATED 11/1/2012] [Exclusive] Unreleased Gmail 4.2 APK With Pinch-To-Zoom

Now that the dump is out, im hosting the gmail apk again! enjoy!
here it is guys, the newest Gmail 4.2 Reported to be working for Android 4.0+, rooted devices only. If you are having issues with 'waiting to sync', clear app data under settings and try again
Installation Option 1:
uwdus said:
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

Doesn't seem to want to install for me. Tried package installer and Root Explorer and no go!
I deleted it and that didn't work either.

Installed fine for me Thanks a ton!!:good:

Thank you so much. This is soooo much easier than the first post. It worked for me perfect with Titanium. I wiped data and then uninstalled. Rebooted and went to root browser and found Gmail2. Installed AND: Instant Gratification.

Does this pre-release version supercede future Gmail updates?
Thanks for the update. Love the new pinch-to-zoom feature! (BTW, swipe to "archive or delete" always archives for me. Can't figure out how to choose delete, instead.)
Question: Now that I have this pre-release Gmail2.apk installed, does this mean that I won't get any more Production releases of the Gmail app? (After all, I uninstalled the original Gmail app with Titanium Backup before I installed the new Gmail2.apk.) Once Gmail 4.2 is formally released, should I uninstall the Gmail2.apk and re-install the deleted Gmail.apk? (Will that work using TB?)

As of now gmail won't appear in your play store. Once it's released to the public, you should be able to uninstall the leak and just download the new one from the store.

ANK4 Stock Deodex Debloat

Stock ANK4 T-Mobile ROM deodexed by jovy23 and debloated by myself. Really nothing else to say about it. Check out jovy23's thread for what he's done.
Instructions: Wipe everything in recovery (shouldn't need to tell you to backup first) and flash the zip. Done.

Nice! Thanks

It's been a long time , and seems like u changed carriers also ? Good to see your work again.

Cool

My Mobile Hotspot force closes upon enabling it. Can anyone confirm? Other than that, smooth like butter.

Can confirm. Hot spot FCs on trying to activate. Must've removed something necessary for it. Otherwise I love how light this rom is.
EDIT: I have jovy23's original rom on my phone. If anyone has any idea what app I'd have to reinstall to get the hotspot working again I'll grab it from there, put it into system/priv-app, change the permissions, and reboot to see if it works.

Ill fix up the hotspot today.

Thanks buddy.
EDIT: Does S-Health work for you guys? Also I think that if were keeping S-Health we should also keep Samsung Galaxy Apps since it's the only way to update it.

I really like this rom. Two things though. Can anyone tell me what files I need to restore to get the Samsung Browser working and the Smart Select for the S-Pen? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: So I figured out the Smart Select but I still need to restore the samsung browser.
EDIT 2: I figured out the browser as well.

Also, is there anyway to get the Samsung Account integrated? I would like to download the extra camera filters. I realize that this is a debloated ROM, but if anyone has a link to re-install some of Sammy's apps, that would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Found a zip file. =)

Ya'll are killing me man! Pro_b tell me what files you need to restore those functions and wheres that zip file Murphy71984? BTW does S-Health work for you guys? Doesn't for me and I figure it's because of the Samsung Account stuff.

really slimmed down thats how phones should come out of the box + the weather widget. I want the weather widget back, tried installing the app from another rom but it does not work properly.

I restored the files myself. I used good old fashioned google searching to figure out which files needed to be restored. But I'm glad the rom was built without them. I prefer how slim the rom is and what I wanted may not be what others wanted or needed.

I noticed that the dev of this rom also removed the libs along with the apps. You may need to find out if there're some missing lib files to s-health. At least that was the case when I added back the sbrowser.

How to re-enable smart select, the galaxy app store, tethering, and Samsung account.
This is how I got everything working. For smart select you grab Pinboard.apk from another rom (I grabbed everything from jovy23's original stock deodexed rom), place it in system/priv-app and change it's permissions to match the other apks there. I used ES file explorer for this with root explorer on and changing the system option to R/W (Tap on root explorer after turning it on to change this option). For the galaxy app store grab GalaxyApps_3xh.apk place it in the system/priv-app folder and change its permissions like before. Theres also a apk called SamsungAppsWidget_BannerStyle_common.apk which goes in system/app but I'm unsure if it's neccesary. If you are adding it just remember to change its permissions. For mobile Hotspot grab TetheringAutomation.apk and TetheringProvision.apk place them in system/app and change permissions. For the Samsung Account grab Samsungservice2_xxhdpi_RTL.apk place it in system/priv-app and change permissions. You are able to log in to the galaxy app store without this but it is necessary to get full access to your samsung accounts synching capabilities, like with s-health for example. Let me know if you need help with anything.
EDIT: Reboot after you've done everything!

Blame @ProTekk
Thanks man

Is it OK to remove the stock calendar?

I have the Korean 6gb Tab S4 and the stock calendar is a little weird. It has some Korean stuff that won't translate (holidays, alternative holidays and government mandatory observances) plus the date is a little weird.
I tried a manually updating it and it wouldn't let me, it said it was already up to date. The app numbers are also different.
Anyway I was thinking of replacing it with the latest stock Samsung calendar from apk mirror. Do you think it is safe to Uninstall it? It won't let me from the stock app manager, but I could from titanium backup. My concern with that is that calendar storage (app/apk) would likely be effected as well. I'm just not sure what deleting and installing the apk mirror version of the calendar app will do to system stability.
Can anyone please advise me?
If there is a better forum for this question please let me know and I will post this question in the other forum.
Thank you for your consideration.

Simply,before uninstalling take a backup
Also, you can backup any application very easily without root using an application from playstore - "share apps"
you can reset the application whenever you like
