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 ;-)

Any luck on this?

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

I'd like a section dealing with modifying-upgrading the kernel, ramdisk, and really anything dealing with the boot and recovery images (since I've already learned most of the workings of the system partition)

We have HTC Music......there's your list
The HTC camera from the HTC Magic/Sapphire has also been ported.

please help No Market app

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.

[Q] Stock Android 2.2 Calendar files

Does anyone know where I can get the stock Android 2.2 Calendar?

*bump*
Does anyone know where to find an up to date apk file of the stock Android calendar (not the TouchWizCalendar)?
Is there still no better solution than the detour around CyanogenMod?

It's in the App Market.

Thank you for the info, but in my post I asked for the apk, a file which can be downloaded on the PC.

I believe this is it.
Calendar.apk
Here is CalendarProvider.apk just in case you need it.
Ian

Thanks again, this is exactly what I need at the moment.
A link to mediafire or any other filehoster is a good solution for the current release. In order to spare you from being bothered again in the future by me or anyone else with the same request I would like to know if there is a "direct source" which always has an up to date version?

I just did a search on Google, downloaded and uploaded it to Mediafire.
Google is the easiest way to get almost any file you need.
Also, most cooked ROMs come with an app folder with all current apps for the OS release.

I did that too, but I did not find any source apart from the cooked ROMs and some filehoster links which did not seem to be very up to date or "official".
Don't keep me in suspense which non-ROM Website did you use as source for the mediafire download link you provided?

I already mentionened, that I want to know if there is a better/more direct solution than following some outdated links posted by users in forums or always checking if an app is included in some mod.
I often come across free apps which can only be downloaded in the market. I already got the market running on the Android emulator (which requires some modifications described in several tutorials). But the market on the emulator does only show a limited number of apps compared to the market on a real mobile phone.
So the motivation of my request is also learning if there is a better solution than the previously mentioned workarounds.

Not that I know. I use the search on this forum and Google.
I found the calendar.apk file here.
Google led me there.
I download some of the new cooked ROMs and look at the files included with them. Sometimes there are newer versions of files. This is not quick or easy, but it's what I do.

[Q] Does flashing a new rom erases all contacts and gallery etc apart from the system

Sorry to post such a stupid question here. I'm really new in this field and I had read many of the faqs but could really find this info. Does flashing new roms delete all other data such as contacts, photos, music etc? I do know some rom might delete the entire system including the settings and apps, but I wish some people here could confirm my question. Thanks and sorry again for this stupid question.

Do you know what xda, forums,threads, sub-forums,search option, pm,etc etc is?

Depending on how the ROM was made, example Doc's rom starting from version 5 can do an update w/o deleting anything.

Thats a bit harsh its only their 1st post.
Contacts are saved via your google account so when you sign back in they are resync'd with your phone and gallery pics wont be wiped unless you format internal SD card.

I've been searching for hours, including google etc. As I couldn't find any direct answers in regards to my question mark, so I figured perhaps I could post it here to get some replies. And besides, I didn't know anyone here for me to pm. So I posted this. If it offends you, I'm sorry.
