this should be in Q&A section ... really will this ever stop happening??
but to answer your question, just grab it from a rom that has it and adb push it .. should work
can u point me in the right direction for the rom needed... ?
would it be in one of the early jacheroski roms ?

I don't think it was ever in JacHero. It's in Haykuro6.0, that's a Rogers ROM though, so I don't know if it's the same or not. Btw, what is HTC sync?
If you dont have adb and want to copy something you can use the terminal:
su
cp sdcard/somerandomfile.apk /new/location
so for example
su
cp /sdcard/htcsync.apk /system/sd/app_s
I highly doubt that's the correct location, just an example of how to use the cp command to copy stuff.

You will be better off PMing JAC for location and instructions since he is the one who took it out of the build. The reason I'm saying this is that he might of take out some libraries and/or drivers that are necessary for it as well. Have him reply in this thread so everyone can see it.
Good luck

one problem with that , jac seems to have his PMS disabled ...
In that case, PM Drizzy Drake Rogers or TwistedUmbrella, they also develop Hero ROMs and should be able to help you ;-)

I'd like to know, too.
So I did some research and found out that a beta version of KingxKx Hero Rom includes HTC_Sync. (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563294 / http://www.4shared.com/file/134955673/b3aa02e6/KiNgxKxROM_Beta1_signed.html)
I flashed it and it works flawlessly (syncing contacts and calendar). It was removed in subsequent versions though.
I found a set of .apk files (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553996 / http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=208015&d=1248333223) which, when installed on newer Hero roms, adds Sync functionality again, but there's a flaw:
The PC software recognizes the device not as a Hero, but as a Magic. HTC Sync for Magic only syncs contacts.
This is either because:
a) the files stem from a HTC Magic and therefore only add "Magic" functionality or
b) the rom maker somehow changed the roms "appearence" to look like a HTC Magic to the PC Software.
To be sure I need to extract the pcsii.apk and sync.apk from either a stock Hero rom or the Beta from above.
Can somebode help me out with this? I have no idea how to do that.
I tried simply taking the pcsii.apk from the zip files of releases which had the Outlook Sync still intact, but the Hero Rom (Kingklick 1.8) wouldn't let me install it.
What are .odex files, do I need them, and if yes, how do I install them to custom Roms?
I see that Outlook Sync support is not very popular with the rom community, hence it's among the first things removed from roms, but I'd really like to use it.
There must be some people around that know a fair bit about rom optimization and would be able to do this in a minute or two.
Rom makers don't answer to PMs and I just don't know enough about this.
So if anyone sees this who has done something similar before, please help!
Here is the one I install. I only sync with outlook. Google's not getting my data..
It's worked with every HERO rom that I've tried.
Dude....
YOU MADE MY DAY!
I don't know where you got that one from, but it just works!
Fantastic, thank you very much!

I'd like it to be proof-read by somebody else. Not meaning to be disparaging to your possible skill, but a guide written with the same rampant disregard of English shown here is likely to lead to confusion. Guides and tutorials should be written mindful of the fact that exactness and clarity is required.
I would really like to know how to sign a ROM... mainly because I'd like to be able to modify existing ROMs with different apps and ringtones prior to flashing, which would be MUCH easier than having to do everything through Terminal after flashing.
It would help if there was a list of hero apps that would work when creating a normal G1 rom (not hero).

Look in the theme forum for stericson's auto-signing tool. You can sign roms with it. Its reallyeasy to set up and you can use it to sign .zip files. Its what i use with all my themes and it works great
I am at work on my phone right now but when i get home i will edit this post with a link to it if i remember

We have HTC Music......there's your list
The HTC camera from the HTC Magic/Sapphire has also been ported.
Hello,
First post and allready asking stuff.
I'm starting on making themes and although I have read a lot of stuff I can't get it.
Major questions:
- Do I need to have a custom rom to make themes? Can I install a theme on a standard, factory clean android magic?
- What are those RC33, Rc30, etc... And how do I know what do I have?
At the moment I have a stock HTC magic 32A. The only non standard thing in it, is it's rooted.
The build number only says: CL#33743 (no RC stuff...).
Any help would be appreciate.
take a look at this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519924
Hey smurf... thnks for the answer.
I've allready readed that post (and most of the links in it), and still got the same questions.
They only talk about G1/dream and all those RCXX... The problem my magic says CL#33743. Am I missing something here? Do I need to install a RCXX image?

afaik you have to be rooted to install themes, an exception is when you are using a home replacement.
RC stands for Release Candidate and its just a version numbering thing i guess...
Hello again...
Yeah, I tried instead of just asking.
After a few more reading I realise I was making some confusion. I have a rooted phone so I just adb pull the files I needed to theme (framework-res, htclauncher, etc...) changed the drwable files and adb push them again
It's kinda of what a update.zip does but with more files. Nothing better that trying
Now I just don't know why some people ressign apk's, but I guess a little more reading will fix that too.
Thnaks for your help smurf.
Sorry for being a noob, i have the g1 dream sim free, it has 1.5 on it it has no market app. and when i hard reset it does not ask me to register but comes straight to home screen with clock
base - 62.41s.20.13u_2.22.16.17
kernel - 2.6.27.00205-gf2dabco [email protected] #15
build - 125040
how can i update this device please help.
I think if you know your kernel etc. you have root rights, am I right?
If yes, just flash the google apps. You find the link in the cyanogen 5.0.7 thread.
If not, I don´t know what you can do
not sure what right i have, m looking for the goole apps .. but is there a market app which can be installed, thanks for your reply by the way. though i was lost for a bit

I'm confused...so did you fix it?
gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed
search for that ^
nope have not fixed it yet. seems like its a original dev phone but it came boxed brand new. in the mean time, the data sync does not open
and
system update gives the error - com.setting error or something like that..
im looking into gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip, thanks for all your help..
You can get Gapps from here:
http://kanged.net/mirror/download.ph...36B-signed.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
However Gapps is not an .apk file. You need to flash Gapps with the help of a recovery ROM & for that you need to have Android SDK installed. If all this is latin and greek to you; you should visit here

I would also suggest you to go through ROM Bible sticky in this section.
Alternatively you can unzip gapps file and look for marketUpdater.apk in system>app folder and install it manually. I have not tried this method ever but you can give it a shot; it will not brick your phone.
Thanks for the answer guys, i think i have a dev phone had a look at the rom bible so i can root i . but i dont know what rc versoin the device is cos this does not exist in the build number as in post one. also can you recommend a stable rom update for a beginner.
at amitabhishek the first link you have posted does not work, also is there a way to root a dev phone, or is it already unlocked dont want to try a rom and brick the phone.
Moved as not Android Development.
There are some ROMs around that are deodexed and zipaligned. The ROMs around here unfortnately are themed (not to my taste) and/or have removed Samsung stuff that i use. I want a nearly untouched FW (i remove a few Samsung apps on my own).
So i'm searching for an automated method (that can also be used for future FWs) to deodex and zipalign the files of my phone (maybe only some binaries or java applications and a batch file).
I can manage to pull/push all files from/to /system/app and /system/framework but i'm not able to do the rest...
Also very interested in this. Or a clean kitchen or a how to on making a kitchen to mod our roms.

I just wanted to create a thread about MODIFYING / CREATING CUSTOM ROMS FOR THE i9000.
Does anyone know how to modify (for example, Tayutama's JPM Full ROM) ROMs?
I googled and just found some HTC ROM HowTo's.
Check my signature for all the tools u shud need in terms of deodexing, editing apks, creating signed update.zip. Thats all you really need i think :\
A zipaligner is missing.
yes that'd be perfect! trying to optimize my device myself here too.
if there's no automated way could someone be so kind to post some instructions as to how?
found some stuff on the g1 forums but i'm not sure if it'll work...

just flash the room and then use 'root explorer' to play with lib
make sure your phone rooted
peace!
Thank you, I will try that, I am wishing to work on a ROM and get wifi, 3G and such working, however I have tried using ADB to push the libs but I don't know if it worked or not..

I want to make the whole sense rom work, BUT I can't access the system files without having the rom installed which is pretty gay.. I need some way of accessing it in the .img format which then I can flash to my phone to test... mshhh... plus I'm not quite sure which libs will work (ofcourse when I find out I will seek permissions before uploading the rom...)
To open .img you could use Winimage or Poweriso or something similar.

Maybe someone can help me with this? We could work together to make a fully working sense rom... come on people.. someone who wants this must have a bit of knowledge on the subject...
