Code:
adb remount
adb push HtcFootprints.apk /system/app/HtcFootprints.apk
adb push HtcFootprints.odex /system/app/HtcFootprints.odex

Beats me I don't have a Hero Rom.

thank you!!! ya still was looking for it... Will try it and let you know. You installed box the odex and apk n still it wouldn't work on Hero?

I tried installing just HTC footprints apk and odex via adb just got errors. Might try again later.
I am using a hero Rom on a magic.

i was able to get the odex to the app_s but when i install the widget it gives me error
"Failure [Install_Failed_Dexopt]"
If anyone knows what that means can you please help? Thank You

Yeah that's what I get when trying to install just the normal app from that zip. Can't figure it out as of yet.
When I install the. Apk from this thread it at least installs but crashes on opening. I think we are missing something

Thats weird bc i've used this footprints i've uploaded the whole time and still use it without it crashing. what error do you get when it crashes?

Try this.
adb remount
adb push HtcFootprints.apk /system/app/HtcFootprints.apk
adb push HtcFootprints.odex /system/app/HtcFootprints.odex
adb shell reboot
I was pushing to /system/app_s/ originally and that's what kept giving me the error. I don't know the difference between app and app_s, maybe app_s is just a system link or something.
Anyways, pushed the odex and apk for footprints and the widget, and it works, no crashing so far. widget works too.

it gives me a error: Read-only file system.

and even when i try in rootmanager it wont let me change it to r/w it stays on r/o

Native IM application working with 3G + patch for GTalk losing messages [Feb 03 2010]

I was bothered by the fact that Google Talk didn't show some of the messages I received. Johan de Koning submitted a patch that wasn't accepted by Google but works well. I applied this patch for personal use, but I thought that you might be interested as well.
Also, I had a look at the IM application and I modified it to allow login instead of having the "phone number cannot be read from your SIM" error. This might or might not work. It works for me, but users in the US have reported that it still fails.
UPDATE 16th Jun 2010:
Added version 1.1.2 from Cliq.
UPDATE 3rd Feb 2010:
New eclair version for IM.apk, completely untested. Might or might not work.
Patched ImProvider is no longer useful for Android versions >= 2.
Also, I removed the cupcake IM.apk because I just noticed it is broken and won't work. No-one should be still running a rooted cupcake anyway.
Notes
This is for donut. I tested it on cm 4.2.2 and 4.3.2.1, but it should work with any donut rom. As far as I know, it doesn't use sms at all. It still needs the tmo plugins to login, but no sms are sent. Other than that, it does exactly the same as when you login on wifi.
Installation
Some of these steps will fail depending on the rom (the dalvik-cache and odex part). These errors can be safely ignored.
First reboot into recovery, then, on your computer :
Code:
adb shell
mount /system
mount /sdcard
cp /system/app/IM.apk /sdcard/IM.apk
cp /system/app/ImProvider.apk /sdcard/ImProvider.apk
exit
adb push ImProvider.zip /system/app/ImProvider.apk
adb push IM.zip /system/app/IM.apk
adb shell
mount /system/sd
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*
rm /system/app/ImProvider.odex
rm /system/app/IM.odex
umount /system/sd
umount /system
umount /sdcard
reboot
Of course, I'm not responsible if anything breaks.
More information about the sources is available in this post.

which roms are these for? cupcake? donut? hero? haha. i pushed them to my hero rom and they do not show up in my app tray or in applicantion manager.

Tested them on cm 4.2.2 and it works. Does this use ip traffic or sms?

ok cool, probably for donut. i tried on Hero cupcake and it fails, just keep getting ForceCloses. owell, i dont use it anyways but just thought it be fun =)

You can try removing TmoImPlugin.apk and see if it still works.

I asked him in another thread earlier and this is his response

I'm going to push it into Cyan's build and remove TmoImPlugin.apk and see if it still works.

Well, it doesn't work without tmoimplugin, and with that, I know it uses sms.

Sorry for the lack of details.. I updated the first post to make it clearer. It doesn't send sms afaik, becaus my plan doesn't have unlimited sms and I wasn't charged for any sms since I patched the IM app.
Also, this is for donut only, because the IM subsystem changed a bit since cupcake.

can you somehow modify im.apk so that it would stay in memory?

seems to work fine *tries out this im comparison to ebuddy, seems much faster ^^*
not sure if it uses sms, but dont think so.. ah well got unlimited anyway ^^

Do you have the source patches for these?

I'd like to have more feedback.. Does it work properly for everyone ? Any bugs or FC ?

The patch from ImProvider is here : http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=597
but I couldn't recompile it from source without breaking everything.. I had to patch the apk directly. Maybe you'll do better.
The patch for the IM application is attached, the edited file is in packages/apps/IM/src/com/android/im/service

I don't know how to do that, sorry. But it seems the app already stays in memory for a while. Are you sure it doesn't stay already, if it's not killed by an application manager ?

Sorry if I'm being a noob, but how exactly does one install this? I did
adb push /path/IM.apk /system/app
adb push /path/ImProvider.apk /system/app
and rebooted, and I still get SIM card cannot be read errors. I feel like I'm probably missing a step like installing.

Yea, same here. I guess it doesn't work for users in the States. However, it does work on wifi but once I turn off wifi, it disconnects.

Try installing it from recovery if you didn't, and clear dalvik cache (rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/* on cm with apps2sd, not sure about others).

i'm tryin using it on CM ROM 4.0.4 but when i try push it, i can't use the IM, is there anyone already can used that IM in CM ROM 4.0.4 ?? thanks before

I hate when my messages are loosed, and run loose around the intarwebs.
Additionally, I don't like to be LOSING messages. =9

Thanks! Works perfect on enomther 2.1.1

Is this because i had a non market version of facebook installed before?

Yes. Uninstall and try again.

I am also getting an install error.
I have tried to uninstall the existing 1.1.1 version using the Expsetup but still won't install.
I'm thinking that clearing all associated data for facebook would help but don't know the directories etc that I would need to delete.

Where to get Facebook 1.1.2?

I unistalled V1.1.1 but still cant install new version 1.1.2!!! went to aplication manager and found a file that says com.facebook.katana but doesnt let me do anything with it.
Any ideas?

If you're having problems uninstalling, that's because you used an update.zip and it is installed in the system/app folder. You have to use terminal or adb to mount the folder as rw to remove it.
My question, though, is it better than the one from droid? Cuz if not then I don't want to waste my time updating...

Most importantly would be to ask how do you get your system back to normal so you can install updates later.
I know at one time I messed with my prop file to install the Nav at one time. I wonder if that could be a problem. I removed the Facebook app, but it told me it wasn't compatable so I wonder if it that prop file is affecting anything.

Put the original build.trout.prop file back in the /system folder. Deleted the old Sholes/droid version via the market and it installed without a hitch.
It doesn't seem to like a modified prop file.
To me personally it looks just like the droids version except the white bar at the top is fixed.
Heres the line you want to change back.
ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.6/DRC83/14721:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
or upload this buid.trout.prop file to your /system folder. Just drop the .txt from the end.
EDIT.
After fighting a bit with the prop file I ended up just reflashing the rom that I originally installed which over wrote the modded prop file. Now I'm back to the orginal file and then I used the APK provided here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5147596&postcount=16
After that I uninstalled it via the market and reinstalled it now I'm back to where I should be.
So you could use that stock prop file, but after 5 or so tries it was sorta mixed results.

Anyone got the apk? I tried the site posted above but nothing happened.

Greatly appreciated.. This will help out many.

what commands in terminal to mount the folder as rw to remove it?
i used a script to switch my build.trout, but i used the script to switch back to the old one and i can't get FB to install. i never did anything to mod these for the nav and FB a few weeks ago.

[APPMOD][30.05.10] Facebook with working Sync

Okay I was bored and after hearing about the facebook app only allowing specific devices to use sync I came up with this.
I basically just used apktool by Brut.all to change a few strings, simples!
You will need to have an Eclair ROM, uninstall facebook if you already have it then just install this like normal and sign in with facebook or add it in accounts to sync.
You can get it here, here or here.
Now go play with your phones and be happy
I must have missed this before but apparently you can achieve the same thing by editing your build.prop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6399791&postcount=3183.
Just a little note but not really relevant, this mod won't work with the sapphire.
UPDATE:
bugmenever said:
Inspired by your edits here, I'm trying to do get FB Sync working with the Samsung Moment. Rather than changing the product names as you did, I just changed the entire getAllowedPackages so it always returns FULL_ALLOWED_PACKAGES. However, it appears to only sync phone numbers and emails. I don't own a G1 so I can't test your version, does your version properly sync profile images and statuses?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've taken bugmenever's method and it does seem to work. The difference with this one is that instead of replacing some strings which removed support for sapphire so it could work with the dream, is this always returns FULL_ALLOWED_PACKAGES which should in theory let it work with anything capable of running eclair. I only have a dream so I can't test it on anything else but if anyone else could test it that would be great.
Here is the link http://www.4shared.com/file/kdb7ZvEy/_2__signed-facebook.html

No feedback ?
Is it working? Anyone having any problem? Maby a thanks ?

Well I think this should be posted in the app section, for one....
But yes it works, although you have to open the app after setting up the sync for the sync to actually work.

Thanks for the reply, I was in two minds weather or not this was the right section for it and I choose this one as it's a mod as-well as assuming people would look for something like this here. But if it doesn't belong here then feel free to move it .

Thanks, good work.

If you have facebook installed from the market you need to uninstall that first, if it doesn't work after that then try installing with adb.

ADB said failure to install app

i wasn't able to install through astro or terminal.

First check the MD5
Code:
d76da20c1c5a49152bf309630b6841f3
to see if your download is corrupt, if that's not it then post the output of logcat and what ROM you are using as it won't work with some ROMs(zachattack052 & xillius200's HERO).

Couldn't get it to work on Cyanogen's latest Donut either. Same error as others, saying "Application could not be installed." I had previously uninstalled the Market Facebook app so don't know what the problem could be. Thanks for trying, though!

This is only meant for Eclair ROMs to provide account synchronisation, if your on Donut then you may aswell use Facebook from the market

Thanks so much. This works great

Tried this on CM5 (test5), md5sum produced the same md5 hash, and I get "Application not installed" as well.
Not sure what the issue is. What did you change in the apk to allow it to work on the Dream/G1s? Perhaps a specific radio or firmware setting is interfering.

yes please Im using cm test 5 and I get the same error. I would love to use this

Use Firerat's fb patch instead on the Market 1.2, it works much better: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679572

It's basically the same as Firerat's method but instead of changing the build.prop I changed the strings in the app. Other than that it's the same as the one on the market. Not sure why it wont work for you though, I've tried it after installing other ROMs and it always works.

Android market update.

Apparently google was pushing new market update to all the android runnig phones, is th market update process working in our froyo port? I'm asking as I still have the old version of market.
Sent from my Not So Super Froyo using XDA App

Right here at attachements.
Works on my Kaiser

Just open the .apk with a file manager on your phone and install it.
It will replace the old Market.
Nice looking market BTW

Update doesn't work on mine...
Running Gingerbones 5.1 Odexed... Possibly due to the fact that Market is Odexed in this build.. :-(

why need update? the current market is working well on cyanogens 6.1, or no?

Oh, god no. My phone and pushing are not a good combination.
Can't connect my phone using ADB.
When I want to start up my pc and my phone is connected, it just freezes at the Splash screne until I pull my phone out. Then it boots normally.
Yeah that's probably because it's odex'd. I don't really remember on wich one I tried. If I'm not mistaken it was on Clemsyn's Final Froyo Build.
Downloaded it somewhere off Megaupload. Got the link from some video on YouTube.

I've managed to odex the updated market, and use Terminal Emulator to transfer it to my /system partition overwriting my original market, and it seems to work. Granted I had a gapps FC at boot, but restarted without a hitch.
So far no other FCs, and Market is fully working. Though not sure how many apps I still have available. :-/

I did similar, got the file, sent it to the kaiser, odexed it, sent it back to pc.
Edited my androidinstall.tar, replace old market with new one.
Its working so well, that it detected a gmail update and installed it perfectly (no manual input).
the old market gave me errors doing that, had to manual update.

Nice
Great work

could one of you post the odexed new market?

same here on polaris with scoot's Kernel With Separate Cache Partition.
also no dialog to choose between charge only/hard drive/etc when connecting to booted pc via usb.
adb does work though, just make sure the drivers are installed on your pc, connect and wait for >120s before calling "adb wait-for-device". once your prompt reappears you are connected and ready for e.g. "adb shell".
use "adb kill-server" and "adb wait-for-device" when you get disconnected (not exactly stable) - i use WiFi Keyboard and WiFi File Explorer from market instead.
