Contact Pictures getting mixed up.. - Touch CDMA Android Development

I recently added pictures for most of my contacts in Google Contacts and then synced them to my phone.
This worked well and the result was pleasing... except the next day I realize pictures are starting to get mixed up... Random contacts are swapping pictures, contacts that had no picture "steal" one from some other contact, etc... Note that these changes get synced back into Google Contacts! This is a huge pain!
Is there any known way to fix the problem?

This happened to me using eclair. But not warm donut.

I am currently using warm donut though...

Using vanilla base rom or a theme?

I'm using the Enoch theme along with the BlackXeth Dialer.

Try pushing the /app/Contacts.apk from the base install. That should hopefully solve your issue.

I will go through and re push all the images from all the contacts.apk's to the base apk again. I must have messed up and did some of them from an older apk. But i will say that this isnt an issue for me. Sorry guys

[Theme] HeTANG for VanillaEclair 5

This theme is for RaduG's ROM: VanillaEclair 5 - "Welcome to Prisneyland, Fish" (20/07/2010)
I do not plan on updating this further, but the images are there in the theme for someone to take on and port to future versions or other ROMs. Sorry to all that have been using it, but I don't have the time these days to keep on top of it.
It's a port from Manup's NexTANG theme, so all credit for this goes to him. You can check out his original version for the Nexus here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685584.
I also found a Droid version. On this site you can downloaded the app/folder icons. I have not included them in my theme as am not a huge fan of them, but may include them in later or the final version - DroTANG - http://forums.swdroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30
Please note: I do not have that much time to do this sort of thing so please do not bombard me with requests and bugs. I will try to update this but am not on any time schedule. If someone else wants to take this and run with it, by all means be my guest. What I have so far is enough for me
So... attached you will see what is themed so far. To achieve this look please follow the below:
Flash the attached theme 'HeTANG-VE5-0.4.zip' (see below the post) from whatever recovery you are using.
You will then need to change following to white text (or other) in Spare Parts, or as in VE5 - 'Settings > System':
Clock
Date
Carrier PLMN
Carrier SPN
Notifications ticker
No notification title
Ongoing notification title
Latest notification title
Items title
Items text
Items time
Then (if you wish) to complete the look apply the App Drawer icon to LauncherPro that you should most certainly be using , and the Wallpaper that can be found in the 'HeTANG-Extras.zip' file - These are just the files. Not a flashable zip.
I hope people will get some enjoyment out of this. Enjoy!
Change Log
0.4
- Themed drop down boxes
- Improved images on the popup dialogues for a better fit
0.3
- Themed more areas: popup boxes, check boxes, radio buttons etc...
- As an extra I have themed a version of the HTC_IME_Mod Keyboard. This is not part of the theme but within the 'HeTANG-Extras.zip' for those that want try it. Just install it using Astro or any other file manager app. Credit for this goes to gIMpSTa at http://www.gimpsta.com/
0.2
- Added themed Power Control widget
0.1
- Initial release
Notes for HeTANG
looks great, I'll try it later
flashed it and now waiting for boot up.
11min and it just hanged on HERO screen.
Pulled battery off and reflashed it and waited boot about 12 mins. nothing happens it just hangs on HERO screen. nandroid restoring now back to basic VE5b10RC. Theme sure looked nice but it wont boot on my hero.. :/
I suspect that the RaduG's latest changes to his ROM has caused this. As I said I used build7 as a base and because he's so fast )) with his updates I didn't really want to keep updating this every minute. So for those who do have trouble you will just have to wait until he gets a final version out and then I can update this accordingly.
Strange it didn't work though as the framework should still be identical as well as the apps that are themed.
Strange indeed. Anyone else tried flash this and with what results? Just want to know is the problem in my device or is it problem with wrong build number.
Anyway nice work trying to port this. There aren't too many themes to hero builds.

I have updated the theme now to RaduG's latest 'RC build10'. This should work for you... if you're running that version, which I assume most people will be.
I looked at the original thread, but i couldn't tell, does this contain the icons aswell?

Ah, no it doesn't. I didn't want to include them as I didn't really like them and didn't think people would want them. They can be downloaded from the original thread though and used via 'BetterCut' for example.
I may include them in the final version, but not sure yet.

So the theme applies okay, it's just the text colours don't change once you have set them and rebooted?
I appreciate you've already said this will get updated as and when, but is there any plans for including some of the other styling? the only things that I have seen at the moment is popup menus aren't styled and the search widget isn't either. Not a big deal, just wondering

I may well give it a go. At first I did port all the images from the framework over but I just ended up with everything FC on me when trying to get into any of the menus and apps, so I think I need to do it bit by bit. Some of those .9 png files can be troublesome if not treated carefully, so just gonna take some time. Unfortunately there is no mdpi version of this theme from what I can see, so each image has to be resized

Thanks The problem is for most of the files you need to look at the default image from VE5 then resize the one from Manup's version accordingly. This really has to be done one by one, as not all images are scaled down by the same percentage it seems. I'm still getting my head round it lol. I'll try and take more of a look into it soon and keep you posted on any developments. Appreciate the help though

[Q] Contact sync??

I've got my NC rooted with GMail and Market working ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871210 )...
Next, it would be great to have contacts imported properly. Does anyone have any ideas how to get contact sync working with Google on the NC?

Lets just go ahead and add Calendar as a direct addition to Contacts. I believe the biggest hurdle was getting the market ported so gmail sync was locked in. Now that permissions seem to work, hopefully these two (contact/calendar) can quickly be sideloaded and installed without a hitch.
Thanks!
Can you either upload or show us where to download the 2.1 contacts/calendar apks?
I've gotten the Calendar working, but not contacts. Was just asking about that here:

Enabling Facebook Contact Sync in Ice Cream Sandwich

I'm using Koush's CM9 Alpha 12 ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228 with the Franco kernel, and I'm saddened that it's sorely missing one big feature that i'm used to in the NSCollab ROM i came from. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959282)
In the stock Android 2.3.3 that came with the phone, if the Facebook app was installed, it could sync contacts over from your account, including phone numbers, emails, and pictures. The OTA 2.3.4 removed that function, as Google had deemed it as a violation of their TOS.
NSCollab (based off of CM7), which i'd used since 2.3.5, enabled that function somewhere in the system files, and it was fully usable, no questions asked. The CM9 build i'm using, however, lacks that feature.
I've compared both of their build.prop files and don't see any differences that would stand out, and I'm at an impasse here. I'm almost determined to find the setting in the CM7 ROM that allows Facebook syncing on this device and be able to use it in CM9. I'm not sure i want to comb every system file, though. Any assistance?
The reason it works in custom ROMs is because they patch it to work. It's not a build.prop issue I do not believe. It is a bit deeper than that. Hopefully someone can she some light to get it working. It's a feature I use as well.
But that's the explanation "why" it does not work.. because it's not supposed to by design lol.
by no means do I have an answer but, syncmypix in the market is a decent alternative for the tome being.

I'd determined that long ago, but i'm almost certain there's a flag somewhere in the system files. My cousin has an HTC Thunderbolt (horrible phone on the stock ROM) running the stock ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.5, and it's enabled on it. I know that Google specifically disabled it on their flagship phones, and i want to know how they did it and how to reverse it.

I have tried Syncmypix, Friendcaster, and another one that tries to re-enable native syncing, but none of them work near as well as native syncing.
In GB it was in system\app\ContactsProvider.apk , one line need to be added which whitelists com.facebook.katana. Maybe it's the same in ICS.
[edit]
There, I looked it up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978470
Here you can find the official statement from Google about Facebook sync:
http://www.androidguys.com/2011/02/23/google-drops-facebook-sync-nexus/
Anyway you can sync your contacts using Friendcaster and you can update your contact pics using syncmypix

I'd considered that, even set up a decompiling environment, but never got around to trying it. Just tried it, and found out that comparing the two ContactsProvider.apk files (from CM7 and CM9), that ICS does not use the arrays.xml that Gingerbread did. Adding it in, recompiling it, and signing it results in FC's and wiping out your contacts storage. Thank god for Titanium backup.
Edit: Derp, found out system apps aren't supposed to be signed. Trying again.

I well know what Google did, and i'm very disappointed in them. And i'd rather not use third-party apps if we can enable native syncing at the system level.
Pushing the unsigned apk doesn't cause FC issues, but it still doesn't sync. The Facebook app cuts off at "Other Settings". Does anyone want to test out the apk for me, see if they get the same results?
The APIs are different in ICS and doing the white list trick may not work. Check out the smali folder because there could be stuff that needs to be changed in there too...

I've already tried this. You'll be able to get the account to sync in Accounts, but the new contacts app is substantially different from the Gingerbread one... Like ^ says, I think a few smali edits have to be made to include this properly.

I'm combing the smali folder as we speak, but nothing stands out as a definitive match
The one problem about ics, you're working to fix. Thanks man! I hope you find your answer!
Haven't found it yet, though. I've been trying to get into contact with koush, see if he's had any insight.
MoDaCo got it working on the Galaxy Nexus. If anyone has the galaxy yet, you could upload his rom and them comb through the /system and see what has been changed. we could then possibly implement it for the Galaxy S as well.

[SystemUI/Framework-res]Pantech Burst Users.:D

A few member in the burst thread know about what I have done SystemUI wise to give us a little bit of that Stock ICS flare. After so I did the same with the framework-res. Well here is a thread dedicated just to that. I hope you enjoy. These do work! I use them myself. Screen shots shall be uploaded sooner or later for proof. Disclaimer: I am not responsible if something goes wrong. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP, just in case.
Below is my 4th revision of a SystemUI: Signal bar, bluetooth, wi-fi, silent, vibrate and battery is changed to stock ICS blue.
www.dropbox.com/s/3ippqv6698z5j7a/SystemUI4.4.apk
instructions: for ease do this.
Of course rename the file back to "SystemUI.apk".lol don't want a awkward situation.In the directory of where you would adb your device place this in the directory and navigate to the folder where said file would be located type.
- adb remount (remounts device and can give permissions)
- adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
--Should move accordingly. Then this.
- adb shell
- su
- reboot
SystemUI is finished!!!
Below is the modified framework-res. The toggle switches for like wifi and bluetooth in the settings menu is changed. The spinner icon for when your phone shuts off is changed. the scrubber when you use your volume control is changed. The USB, ADB, Dload/Uload is changed.
Download it.:https://www.dropbox.com/s/cw7bxsvljplwiwb/framework-res.apk
Instructions: Move the file to your directory where your android stuff is on your computer like for systemUI.
- adb remount
- adb push framework-res.apk /system/framwork/framework-res.apk
-- Should move!
- adb shell
- su
- reboot
There you go!
There will be more revisions in the future when i have the time! Oh and some work with the contact and phone apk.
Hope this works for you and that you love it! I know I do.

Looks like the bar is not in the same place on the Y axis as the original, and it's redrawing a blank page after looping, which causes the jump. guessing

Actually the stock dialer (and phone.apk, incoming call screen, etc.) will not scale to my resolution (192dpi), so if you have a way to fix this, it would be major! Using Go Contacts (and dialer) EX as a substitute, which works but is very slow.

Yes that's what I have but it is very slow. Loading the dialer/phone app is very, very slow, same for contacts.
While you're building something new, the AOSP lock screen would be killer, and the dialer & phone apps need to be reverted to stock. Those are some of the biggest problems with the Burst stock ICS IMHO.

I actually got Search to work, no FC or anything. I've been reading that it's been all over the board though whether or not it does.

Search should work. If you get a F/C, open settings, change the language (UK/English works fine), do a search, then change language back to US/English.
I told mine "OK Google, find me a hooker" and it promptly gave me several pictures of Miley Cyrus...
EDIT: (sorry, missed this)

Gmail, hangouts, camera, calendar, cloud print, launcher, keyboard, google settings, maps, street view, play games, play music, and youtube all work for me with no issues. Couldn't get joy with desk clock. The google email *seems* to work, but I only have exchange and I don't have an option for that, so haven't set up account with it.
Sorry to double post...but here's the DL for exchange services to work with the new google email.

Anyone know why only some of the emoji on the new keyboard show up? Its weird because colored emoji works fine system-wide on my phone.

Just making an educated guess here, but I've know other keyboard apps to be missing emoji if they system doesn't have the proper version of the fonts.
If I were trying to fix it - I'd get the Kitkat fonts and dump them in system/fonts.

You *might* have to symlink them too...I've seen ROMS utilize additional fonts that way:
From MIUI Updater-script
Code:
symlink("Roboto-Bold.ttf", "/system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf");
symlink("Roboto-Regular.ttf", "/system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf",

DO NOT FLASH THIS. It was a test I made and uploaded for myself...it copies everything to system/app and gave me some f/c issues.
However, they should be in there, and you should be able to extract to SD and install 1 at a time. LMK if anything is missing - I'm not at my home PC right now...
Ok yea i'm fairly sure the colored emoji font is this NotoColorEmoji.ttf that is in the 4.4 fonts folder. Abnormally larger size for a font. And well the name is kind of obvious lol. Now Sense has the colored emojis built in via AndroidColorEmoji-htc.ttf. Theres also an AndroidEmoji.ttf. My guess is this keyboard is looking for the Notocolor font. Placed it in the folder. But nothing. Maybe it needs symlinked. But to what?

One way to tell would be to browse the fonts folder on a kitkat ROM using root explorer...it shows the symlinks in the file info...
