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

Hello XDA Developers,
i recently flashed a new kernel and installed a new rom on my xperia play as i wasn't happy with the performance of cm9.
Also i hoped to fix my problem that my compass is going haywire in Google Maps.
The speed of the rom is really great, but unfortunally the problem stayed.
Before you mention it, yes of course i have used Google to find answers to this topic. But nothing seems to work for me.
There are a ton of GPS apps that try to address this problem, but none did for me. No app was able to find any GPS signal even after several minutes of waiting.
Is there anything i can flash to eleminate this problem? Is there some specific prozedure to fix this with the help of the gps fix apps in the store? Do i have to wander around outdoors for 10 minutes to make it work or something like that?
Any help on this topic is appreciated.
Best Regards

I have no idea why gps wouldn't work, but you could try by flashing stock firmware with flashtool and see is it working.
If it's not working even on stock firmware, maybe it's hardware fault.
Make backup before you flash stock, so you could restore it later
Hello everyone, I was wondering if it was possible to take the Dialer apk out of the 4.4 kitkat release and make it useable in the S3. Yes, I have tried exdialer, but it doesn't do the exact same thing as the actual dialer would do.
If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Try it out and let us know. Worste case you restore to a backup you make before hand right?
I'd imagine it might work, if not the source of the dialer may need tweeking, changing the rom to work with the dialer might break other things (just a guess).
Still, try it out, it may not have been targeted to older versions of Android so maybe rebuilding it from source in eclipse to target older version like 4.1.2 and see if it compiles without error, error would just point you to what needs to be fixed on the surface, then try to compile it for 4.1.2 again and keep testing, that would be what I would do if I was interested in it. If the source isn't available for that app, maybe try decompiling it, but I have only read a little about that so I am not able to give any advice as to what decompiled code might look like.
Good luck.

Did you ever figure this out? Apparently the dialer with business search is in the Nexus 4 OTA.
The ROM I use has some kitkat apps running see this post:

So they may work.
Always backup first though!

Camera app replacement
Hey guys, thanks for the Carbon Rom - looks real good, is nice & fast.
I have one question.
I've installed Google Camera and I liked it better than default CM one. I tried to freeze CM camera so that Google Camera would be default everywhere, but pressing hardware camera button doesn't work (there is only a one-time vibro, camera doesn't launch, when CM is defrost it launches, obviously).
Is there any way I can set Google Camera to launch via hardware button? I'd like to delete CM camera to keep everything neat & tidy.
Thank you guys in advance!
Problem with Carbon rom
Hi, I'm new at this and I had a problem when I installed your rom on my Xperia S. I managed to root it and install CWM perfectly... But when I flashed your rom, without any problems, and tried to reboot, the phone never rebooted. I just stays with the screen off and when I press the power on button for a while it only vibrates and that's it. I used to have the official Xperia 4.1.2 rom. HELP!!!!
If unlocked bootloader, maybe you should flash tft.
You can have a look at the main thread someone has the same problem....

I think this problem is known.
Which earphones are you using?
I think newer ones are not supported because of missing drivers but i am not sure.
HDMI
Is it hard to make hdmi support? I use 4.1 only for hdmi. There are another 4.4 roms with hdmi, but carbon is best.

Yes it is hard to support hdmi since, afaik, there was no proper support built for it in the sources used by carbon.
build fails on OMX codec
Hi all!
Has anyone tried to build the ROM from sources?.. well I have and it fails while building the obj for OMXCodec --> OMXCodec.cpp:4569 --> frameworks/av/media/libstagefright/OMXCodec.cpp:4569:11: error: 'OMX_AUDIO_PARAM_FLACTYPE' has no member named 'nBitsPerSample'
If anyone met the same problem and fixed it, please share the fix/work-around.
So far i've edited OMX_Audio.h and inserted an OMX_U32 nBitsPerSample var in the OMX_AUDIO_PARAM_FLACTYPE struct.
It compiles on, but i'm not sure this is Ok.
Thanks!

Yeah well I tried to build it too yesterday evening, but I'm not getting any error nor the output zip file! Where did You find the error?
Mmmm... I don't really remember.
I was building the project just like in the 'how to' (I mean literally, step-by-step), and it just crashed at that point.
However, it turns out that there is another external module that is not supported and should not even be in the sources. Let me know if you encounter the same problems.
I have been using this rom for about a month now, good so fare.
But since a couple of days I'm starting to have some bugs (like the music lagging and even stopping when I'm doing other things on my phone) and some lags from time to time. Sometimes it's really smooth, but most of the time it's very slow and not confortable to use.
Any ideas how I could speed it up and make it smoother ? I already overcloked it

Switch off screen during calls? Its supposed to turn off screen when you are calling and phone is at your ear, but wake up when you pull away from ear. This to keep your ear from pressing buttons

and enabled init.d so it's working fine. the problem was that even though i keep the phone clear at a distance the screen would stay off during calls, i tried a lot of proximity sensor apps but no chance. That fix did the trick though, i hope that this would help anybody else who' having the same problem.
P.S. Thanks for the great work, I really hoped this would do it, so i can keep using your rom. :highfive:
