Up until now, I've always uninstalled the Google Talk app when I first installed a new ROM, as I've never used it before. However, I just recently started using it to communicate with some friends and I'd like to reinstall it. Is it possible to extract the .apk file from the ROM .zip and install it this way? I found the Talk.apk and Talk.odex files in the system/app folder, but after I extracted the talk.apk file and attempted to install it, it simply said "Application not installed". Is it possible to do it this way, and if not, is there another way to get an installable Talk.apk file?

Thank in advance!
[EVO 4G Android Development] CDKJudoka:
Okay, did a full wipe again, with a clean install and I am still getting VVM FCs after I get an SMS. Is it mission critical? Not in the least. Is it annoying? You betcha!

Other than that and Facebook being FUBAR'd on the news feed page, i am loving this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
You have to take both the .apk and .odex and either use ADB to push them to /system/app or use Root Explorer to copy them there. If you use Root Explorer, be sure to set the permissions to the same as the other files in that folder, then reboot and it should be there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dajoip:
Thanks! How do I change the permissions of files in a folder with Root Explorer?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out - long tap on the files...
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Long press on each file. A menu will appear and permissions is one of the options.

Edit: Nevermind. You got it. :)

Thanks a bunch! This place can't be beat, I spent 20 min searching Google for a downloadable .apk, or how to reinstall it after being deleted...I knew I should have just started here to begin with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Ok so my I'm on synergy, but I want to try this out. And update ^^ as well. So do I update via hboot > then reboot into recovery > wipe everything > flash v2.3?

Also is the latest kernel in your post included in v2.3 or should also flash that right after the rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
That's what we're here for :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tibedabeeto:

Does anyone know how to get the contact pics back into the messaging app?I remember reading somewhere it was caused by some app and that it needed to have data wiped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
Not sure how Calk's undervolting included in MikG 2.3 works...automatically or do we need to flash one of his undervolting zips from EVIO to activate it?

Jim
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
It doesn't appear to work on my setup. I'm not bothered by it, as I just removed the script.

Check the logs in osmonitor, logcat, or any other logging app, and check to see if you get errors everytime a vdd voltage is requested to change. That's what I saw, and that's mainly why I removed it. If you see this behavior and still want undervolting, then you might want to check into calk's zips and see if anything additional is included in them.

I would update the radio firmware via hboot and then boot into your current setup. Once stable, then I'd boot into recovery wipe and flash the ROM. And the latest kernel is already included, so no additional flash needed.

Sent from my OG EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
I agree...adding the complication of flashing new radios and a new rom is way more than you want to take on given each can cause issues.

Flash the new radios...reboot in to your current setup and verify everything is good (radios, wimax, wifi, etc)...

Keep in mind that flashing radios can mess up your kernel so you might flash the kernel you are currently using IF you encounter issues

After everything is verified then flash the MikG rom and you shouldn't have to do anything else.

And just in case...use AmonRA recovery...and wipe everything except SD, batt stats, rotate....this is very important when moving from different devs. Apologies if this doesn't apply to you but figured I'd add it on here anyway for those it might apply too.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mando41:
hey coiledwire,

I was getting the same error when I checked osmonitor. I noticed when you change the cpu governor from ondemand to anything else, the error goes away.

edit: without using or changing anything in osmonitor is there a default governor or profile ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Hmmm.... I didn't try that. I believe default governor will always be ondemand if the kernel has it, unless there's a script or app that sets it to something else. One of the other scripts does set the governor to conservative.

Personally, I got rid of most of the screenstate, undervolt, governor selector script and gone back to setcpu to set the conservative parameters to 75 up, 50 down, 10% step along with a screen off profile. This is good enough for me until we get some kernel love (hopefully).

[EVO 4G Android Development] dcharleyultra:
The only other thing I can think of is the "wait" before the initial pull of the ring to get to the setup wizard.

This has consistently worked for me:

After the initial boot into the ROM, I wait at least 10 minutes before I pull the ring.

After pulling the ring, I go through the Setup Wizard without setting up anything. After the Home Screen is presented (Voicemail should be on the screen) I reboot.

After pulling the ring, I go into Accounts and Sync, and add my Google accounts, FB, etc.

After all of the syncing is done, I reboot again.

After pulling the ring, I finish setting up the ROM to my liking.

First off, Mik's roms are the bomb, especially MikG 2.3. Howerever, I need a working camcorder - I use my phone to record explosions at work pretty regularly, and the audio sync/video freeze issue is driving me nuts. Is there a way to change settings that I'm not finding that will allow decent quality widescreen video? Doesn't have to be super high quality, certainly not hd, but widescreen is preferred. If not, is there an alternative camera app anyone could recommend? Fyi - mikg2.3, only mod is Flat Wired theme, full wipe, amonRA2.3, hw003. Camcorder was glitching pre-theme, and on 2.2 unthemed, clean install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
No worries. Things get lost pretty easily in here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Have you tried using widesceen instead of the 720p HD mode? For my use, a resolution lower than 720p is fine. And audio sync should be spot on at this lower res.

Sent from my OG EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ezintn:
Does it in widescreen (800 x 480) as well as high (640 x 480). It's messed up some pretty blasts in both.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
Most on here will confirm great video/audio quality at less than 720p.....I use it all of the time with the kids and have never had an issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jptesar:
It's been stated that 720p will never work properly?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
Mik himself has said that 720p might never work properly.....that doesn't mean he isn't looking to correct the issues with the audio sync but what ever he's encountered with it might be a bit insurmountable? I don't have details of course so who knows.....essentially when v2.2 dropped that was his take....
[EVO 4G Android Development] robbyyyyyyy:
after install gmail force closes, did a full wipe 3 times, then flashed 2.3
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Definition of full wipe and with what recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jettubby:
Market App Missing?

Read about this occurring somewhere but can't find it. Just installed 2.3. Missing the "Market" application. How do I get this back? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrazyFoool:
Can't receive MMS. generic network error or something. this can be fixed by reloading the rom, correct?

I also get random FC when using some google apps like gmail.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
It definitely should be there, but I guess you can try installing the one from here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Did you full wipe with Amon_RA before flashing? Did you restore any system data? Flash any mods, themes, etc.?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jettubby:
Thanks for the link. Installed the ROM twice and it definitely wasn't there. Strange???
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
You're welcome.

It was for me. Which recovery are you using? What was your wiping/flashing process?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jettubby:
Amons Recovery 2.3. Wiped in order of list except for SDCard of course. Loaded ROM & kernel (2.6.35.10-htc-kernal_and18-2)....rebooted......loaded latest radios via HBoot.....rebooted......reflashed kernel.....rebooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Well, you probably could have skipped the radios and kernel, but I don't see why that would get rid of your Market. Do you have it working now though?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlxcrossing:
I'm flashed to Boost and I couldn't get VM working in latest versions but I verified it working in versions 1.00 through 1.02. These releases don't feature the extra quick settings so if anyone knows a way I can flash those or modify the 1.02 release pm me please. Other than that, I just don't have the most recent kernel but I don't use Netflix anymore so I guess I can survive without it. Thanks for the guy who told me about VM working in the earlier versions, I forgot his name but if I find it I will thank him.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ItsDon:
Looks good Mr. Mik! 2.3 has been the best rom my phone has ever had. I'm sure 2.4 will be a winner as well.

Edit: 2.4 running good. I only wiped Cache and Dalvik and then flashed 2.4 over 2.3 (which was a full wipe install). If it burps even once I'll wipe completely and reflash it but so far, so good. Thought this might be good info for those non-complete-wipers out there.

P.S. let's not start up the wipe vs. no wipe conversations again (those sucked). We all know what we should and shouldn't do and what Mik's position is, mmmmkay?
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
Interesting. I am using a seidio 1750 battery. I'll throw the stock one back in for a week or so and see if it still happens.

I wonder if that somehow could be the reason the phone will reboot or turn off while I'm playing certain games, regardless of the ROM. The being off in my pocket is new with this ROM but maybe coincidence with the battery getting worse. Thanks for the idea!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dominicanodcora:
nice. thanks. hopefully 2.4 has it also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Later versions almost always include previous changes as well, unless otherwise noted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ssolomon:
So you're saying that I can flash from 1.0 to 2.4 with just a cache wipe. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Please tell me you're joking........

probably not... but u can always try.

[EVO 4G Android Development] CDKJudoka:
No, that I have not. I will check into that now. I will wipe and flash again in hopes that works.

[EVO 4G Android Development] CDKJudoka:
I have tried everything, and still get the FCs in VVM. I have wiped and installed 3 times at this point, attempted the Amon RA .apk uid fix, to no avail. It FCs even when it isn't being actively called upon. It all started happening with my first full wipe before installing 2.3.

Any ideas out there from the Mik or the testers?
[EVO 4G Android Development] neno2323:
Lol you guys work fast.. thanks Mike
[EVO 4G Android Development] leon sprouse:
back to 2.3

went to 2.4 without full wipe. kept getting fc on market. Did full wipe . Almost finished 2.4 when I realized it would do nothing for me. I have a theme so I wont get the new quick settings, got to thinking this is a waste of time. did nandroid back to 2.3. and will stay until there is a update worth all the time it takes to change.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theoner1:
Is your sd card partition to ext3 for use with a2sd? If so I would at least transfer everything you have on you card to a pc and start all over with partitioning the sd card and then transfer everything back follow by a complete wipe and then flash the new rom.

For some reason my ext3 was faulty and everytime I flash Mik 2.3 I was missing everything, market, maps and most google stuff. Then I thought about partitioning my sd card again and everything is working great. Just an idea not sure if it's related to your problem, if I were you at this point it wouldn't hurt to try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CDKJudoka:
That would be a negative. I just use the stock formatting and stock apps2sd feature.

I did format it the card prior to the first install attempt of 2.4 :confused:

Clearing app data or uninstall/reinstall did nothing for you either?

On both 2.3 and 2.4 I get force close on the stock browser. Only happens when I hit the Search button on the phone to open Google Search and then select a result. I can then start the process over and it will work, but the next time I try it will FC again. Cleared Cache and DC. Reflashed both several times. Full wipes each time. Made no changes to the phone after flash besides adding my google account. Anyone else get this or have an idea what might be causing it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] CDKJudoka:
Just for gits and shiggles, I flashed over to Synergy RC2 to see if it may have been my phone or my wipe/flash process. I followed the same steps installing both and VVM works on RC2. Maybe it is just my phone (HW ver 0004) but the VVM doesn't wanna work on MikG 2.3 and above.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
In addition to bluenada's suggestion of calibrating the battery, let this ROM sit for several FULL (let it run down to 0% and shut off, then charge to 100%) charge cycles. My battery life wasn't real good at first, but after 3 charges, I'm getting 18-24 hours of what I call medium use (3 email accounts all on Push, tons of texts, GPS use every other day when I run, etc).

Ok so I noticed today that if I held my phone in my right hand with the screen facing me and hit the left side of the phone against my left palm, it would turn off. Swapped the battery out for the stock one which fit more tightly and it stayed on with the same light impact.

The Seidio battery seemed to be too loose so I cut a small piece of electrical tape and put it along the top side of the battery and now the phone doesn't shut off when impacted... now to throw it in my pocket for a day or two and see if it stays on.

Thanks again for the tip! Even if it wasn't ROM related ;-)

[EVO 4G Android Development] emd2009:
could someone update this to work with 2.4?!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluenadas:
So I initially flashed v2.4 over the top of v2.3 and had no issues to speak of. However, after getting to the office (4G coverage area) I noticed that 4G only ever showed "Turning On" never went to scanning, connecting...etc

I wiped and flash v2.4 clean and it worked fine so there was something amiss after the flash over v2.3. This happened to me back about the v1.4 realm as well. After some thought though the only thing similar with those I believe was having Lookout installed. I've flashed over previous versions since and haven't had the problems (I just reinstalled Lookout with v2.3)....

This is pure speculation as I don't have any solid proof or time to mess around flashing and reflashing ROMs but it is obvious something is getting fubar'ed during the overwrite....and again lends validity to the pro-wipe side of the argument.

Also...this is more information and not an invitation to start up the pros and cons of wiping argument again!!!! :eek:
