Ever since I rooted in my sms apk there is only one contact that the icon actually shows the picture. Everyone else is just the ghost icon. I had the same issue from time to time on my Inspire but it would cone and go. But on the vivid its been ever since I rooted. I've searched and searched but only found a bunch of solutions that don't work. As far as I can tell there is nothing different between the one contact that it will show the pic and all the rest. Also the pics show when it comes in before I unlock the screen but when I get into the actual sms apk it only shows the one. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

What ROM are you using?
What SMS app are you using?
Where are your icons coming from (Facebook, custom, etc)?
Did you happen to have run the Photo Unlocker app?
I haven't even flashed a Rom yet so I suppose the original ruu would be the answer to that. No sms app nothing fancy. Yea most contact pics are from Facebook. Even the one of the girl who's shows up. I've tried unsyncing my FB account and various other things in various orders. I can't get anywhere
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Try running photo unlocker first. Let me know if that does anything. You can find it in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25375055&postcount=3
If that doesn't work, we need to try to fix the permissions of your icon directory. I think unlocker does that already though, so it's easier just to run that app.
(Once you run it successfully you can remove it)
This will sound dumb. I can't find the option to allow non market apps. It won't let me open it. When I try it directs me to security settings but that option is not there

Sorry man, my bad... It's in Settings -> Security after all. It's called "Unknown Sources".
It took me to this from the app after trying to install. I thought if I moved it to my SD that would help but it did not. I swear that I have seen that option before I rooted. They just need to hurry up with the HTC One X+ so I can a decent phone.... Harumph

Try this either way... Open a terminal (I use ConnectBot personally, but use whatever you like)
and run this line: chmod -R 777 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
That will change the permissions on all your icons and the directories under them. You might not need to use Photo Unlocker unless you're using a 3rd party SMS app anyway.
I'm on ICS. As far as I know this phone was stock ICS (craigslist).. cool I'll try that when I get home and let you know.
Not in asetting-apps either.

Your best bet is probably going to be just flashing a ROM. Bare minimum try out the Stock rooted one. It's somewhere in Vivid Development on here. Contact pictures has worked on every single ROM I've tried. Strange that you don't have the install from untrusted sources option though. It's been on every AT&T release since gingerbread I believe.
chmod -R 777 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
-Operation not permitted-
Is the response I got after running that in a terminal. I d/l connectbot but as I am not so familiar with much command line work I couldn't even figure out how to open a terminal but have Absolute System Toolbox for Root. That has a terminal emulator in it so I ran it from there.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Either /system wasn't mounted read/write (try browsing to it with a Es explorer with all the root options turned on) ortry this commandline command:
mount -t ext3 -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
If you can't execute that, you're not root.
Same thing. Operation not permitted. System was mounted R/W and everything I have looked at has told me I'm rooted. I followed hansoons kit to the letter.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
In your terminal try doing the command "su".
Then type "whoami". That will tell you for sure if you have root or not.
If you can su to root, then try executing those commands again. Try the remount first to ensure it's mounted R/W (/system is mounted read-only by default whether you're root or not), then the chmod command again.
Tried those commands no such luck. If im not rooted then why is everything asking for root permissions and telling me that im rooted? Im so confused
I'm confused too now. Maybe your terminal app doesn't have root perms?

D/Led Terminal Emulator made sure to grant it SU permissions, and still nothing cant execute any commands... How would go about unrooting and starting over, by the way i am S-ON

Are you sure you have busybox installed? Make sure you do first and foremost.

Since he is rooted, but still on stock ROM, you need to make a change to your settings.db file to allow non market application installation (0 to 1 type of change). Do the following if you have the Android SDK installed:
adb shell
su
cd /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings
sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value = "1" where name = "install_non_market_apps";
.quit
Then reboot your phone.
If you don't ADB you'll want to either install it or you can try one of a couple of "one-clickers" on the boards. It's been a while since I've done it myself and if I recall correctly I installed the sqlLite add-on in Firefox to change this setting on my phone.
A quick search found the following link here which looks like it'll do the trick, though I've personally never used it. Look around, as there are others, and decide what would be best/easiest for you.
Or flash with CWM

Hope that someone will come-up with solution. Otherwise, hopefully Google is aware of the issue, and will fix it the next incremental version of Google Music.
Well I can't download Google music because of my location but for clearing data you should be fine I have done it before and just to make sure I went ahead and did it just now and all it does is ask you to accept the terms and conditions again. So that might be something to try.
This is what Google music team sent me about my failure to install music. I've never changed my default set location. Idk it might work for some but not me.
Thanks for the additional information. We've now received confirmation from a number of users that this issue is caused by setting the default installation location to the SD card. This is a developer tools option that can be reversed by running the following command:

Did you make sure that you have everything set to install to internal? If you are running CyanogenMod, there is an option to do it under Settings -> CM Settings -> Applications, if you are running stock, there was a command through adb to make sure it is set properly (but you had to change it from earlier for it to not work).

Well after many wipes/formats and every thing else I finally have everything working.
I can verify that multiple cache wipes, dalvik wipes and system formats do the job.
I'm not sure exactly how many I done but it was a lot.
I just sit there and wiped, formatted, wipe, format, wipe, format so on and so on and it finally took, I even installed 3 times over and over each other.
The ROM works great.
All the phones might have the same parts and look the same, but for some reason they don't act the same.

Well to get a long story short,im not a complete noob in the rooting,optimising,flashing bussiness.
So dont tell me flash this kernel or this stock rom,or this or that.
The problem after hours of searching is a bad app.
I have bought over 500 apps cause i want to support the community.
So,when i restore all my apps,when the phone starts,after the home screen loads AT THE MOMENT WHERE IN TOUCHWIZ OR ADW OR WHATEVER THE APPS ARE FINALLY LOADED
REBOOT,hot reboot most of the times...
I tried everything...startup managers to block everything and i mean everything...
Rescan media root app to stop scanning of sdcard...
Everything,no matter if it froyo,ginger,ics,stock,rooted or WHATEVER.
Of course i can install one app at a time an reboot,to see what happens but that will take ages and also maybe one app 'hit' with another...
So help me find the bad app...
I am no noob but i am no pro either...
So how do i take a logcat? Will that help either way?
Do i have to use adb?
help....
You are kidding right? You have 500 apps installed at the same time? Why on Earth? I think you are lucky the phone even tries to boot...

Well you certainly need apps 2 SD ... but you probably already have that.
To use adb, download it firstly. Its in the Google developer tools.
Once downloaded open terminal. Alt+ctrl+t. Use CD to change to the directory that contains adb in the platform tools. Once your in the folder containing adb, type "./adb logcat" without the quotes. This is for a computer running Ubuntu Linux also

Unfortunately I have very little adb experience...
Maybe try something like the same command you used
"./adb logcat"
I guess going by what you're saying you could try something like
"./adb logcat -w" try that then maybe replace the w with e..
Keep in mind these are just guesses because I do not know for certain

Another way would be using ddms - connect your phone in debug and run ddms (it's included in the SDK Tools). It provides an interface to browse your device's logs and filter them according to your needs. I think you'll be able to locate that one which explains why your phone is crashing.
On second thought however - is it possible for you to turn the debug on?

thank you!
great idea,i will test it
yes,i can turn the debug on,because the phone crashes just when all the apps are loaded in the drawer.
it must be a bad app because i used to have many apps since froyo times and no problem.
like 500...and the phone was fast.
i really want to find that bad app and kill it
edit
================================
wow,ddms is a dream! thats what i was looking for!!!
thank you
Sorry for the double post but i thought it needed a single post.
Well,the problem is fixed with the help of you guys!!!
I was getting a hell lot of warnings about watchdog_n and stuff.
I googled it and appeared that a whole bunch of people had the same problem especially with nexus s etc.
They said it was due to some crappy app wanting to auto-sync.
So i did a wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache,fix fc and then when the phone rebooted i disabled the auto-sync.
Guess what,no more loops and soft reboots!!!
I still dont know what app is causing all the problems and propably never will,if you thing that the same apps in my tablet dont cause a thing,but after the auto-sync off the problem is gone.
Good thing though i dont need auto-sync cause its not the best solution...
I've got a problem and can't seem to find a fix.
Been rooted and s-off for a couple weeks now.
I started out getting rooted through htc dev unlock and flashing Capt's recovery (the one that erased everything). I installed Viper and after some persistence a good guy talked me into s-off.
No problems.
Last night I decided to get crazy and try a new ROM. I chose Bad Boyz cause OMJ always seems like a legit person.
So to my problem in the best details possible (my apologies if all this is unnecessary)...
I did a backup (of course) and installed Bad Boyz ROM. During setup I hit a bump. HTC was restoring my setup and apps and it got stuck so I rebooted. Immediately after that I finished setup and then Google play kept giving me an "error 920".
I went into recovery and using Capt's 2.7.0.7 twrp fixed permissions. That didn't work. I restored my Viper backup. That didn't work. Using Titanium Backup I wiped Google play store data then cache. That worked!
However, one problem solved a bigger one arises.
I no longer have the ability to move files from internal sd to external.
I've tried everything I can think of. I've checked on ES File Manager it says it's R/W but fails when tried. Same with Root Explorer and FX.
I've wiped and reinstalled Viper but same problem.
I've read MassStash's thread and tried to go into system/etc/permission/platform but it already shows as rw.
So I'm stumped. Can anyone help?

I've got a problem and can't seem to find a fix.
Been rooted and s-off for a couple weeks now.
I started out getting rooted through htc dev unlock and flashing Capt's recovery (the one that erased everything). I installed Viper and after some persistence a good guy talked me into s-off.
No problems.
Last night I decided to get crazy and try a new ROM. I chose Bad Boyz cause OMJ always seems like a legit person.
So to my problem in the best details possible (my apologies if all this is unnecessary)...
I did a backup (of course) and installed Bad Boyz ROM. During setup I hit a bump. HTC was restoring my setup and apps and it got stuck so I rebooted. Immediately after that I finished setup and then Google play kept giving me an "error 920".
I went into recovery and using Capt's 2.7.0.7 twrp fixed permissions. That didn't work. I restored my Viper backup. That didn't work. Using Titanium Backup I wiped Google play store data then cache. That worked!

Sir, simple I had same issue... When I open ES Explorer, I find the Root Explorer Option, tick it off, Exit out go to Superuser and clear any ES Explorer opinion you find. Go open ES Explorer and press back key when it asks for Root Permissions, go to Root Explorer option and tick it back on, accept Root Permissions! Then you press and hold on Root Options, It'll pop up a R/W menu where you can remount system, and external card, etc... If that doesn't do it it's got me beat!!

EVOuser94 you better quit calling me sir! Make me think I'm old lol.
Not sure what the issue was. Just one particular file that appeared when changing ROMs wanted to be stubborn. Finally just deleted the file and put it behind me.
Thanks to Vinchenzop from the Viper team on the HTC Max & EVO 4g lte and MassStash for assistance in helping a brother out. Think I'd still be messing with it if it weren't for them ?
Anyway problem (kinda) solved

Never figured out why it wouldn't move (with ES, Root Ex, or FX Ex). So I just said f it and deleted the folder. So problem (kinda) solved lol.
