i pushed all the ones u put above and when i try to install GmailProvider, it gives me the same error

adb install GmailProvider.apk

600 KB/s (131211 bytes in 0.213s)

pkg: /data/local/tmp/GmailProvider.apk

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
No, he can't. That's precisely what cyanogen was C&D'd for.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
hmmm...

maybe they have to be "compiled" into the system...?

Im no dev, so cant answar why it wont work...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
ok so you went through all the libs and are you sure those are the only ones that are missing? im gonna go check myself as well. im surprised on google no one has this mentioned

im trying to figure out a way
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
i simply used a "folder compare" tool, to compare the two diff lib folders to see what libs where missing for the lox release...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] unknown_world:
yes i know but he provided alternate ways to get those apps. For this rom we need apps compiled for this version which are not available.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] coolliu:
I can not use PPTP.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
I believe he uses the ADP1 method of getting those apps. I'd certainly love to see them, but I'm not sure where we can obtain them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
whats that method? im looking everywhere for a solution with no luck so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
Just look for how to install cyanogenmod. But that's not 2.0. I don't know of any 2.0 mod that has a process to get the data sync, the "AOSP Eclair" mod uses Exchange sync to get around the limitation for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
i restarted my device because maybe it requires a restart to fully include the lib files? idk anything is a shot. ill edit with what happens

nvm ddnt work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
sorry for spamming this forum, but i was thinking, maybe the shared library thats missing is the unified library that holds the google account info? because only when i try to install GmailProvider, talk, and vending and a bunch of similar other apps does it do this. we just have to find that lib file maybe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
i think its a deeper matter, and since its AOSP the "google library" isn't fully compiled into the system...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
the gmail app itself installed but Fc's everytime i try to open it. its in the drawer.

i think i might just have to go back to modaco 2.9...no gtalk app and stuff kinda pisses me off at google. if anyone finds a way ill keep checking back. nandroid backup for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
sadly i must agree...

its up to the great devs here to make it as working as possible, and hardware vise they without doub have, and its great work :)

keep it up !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
lol the highlight of my day was working 2.0, then ofc it had to get ruined with no possible way to put google apps in. seriously lox, if u happen to find a way that doesnt go against googles wishes by putting their apps in a rom, and u find it some other way by like a command or something, id be in. otherwise i guess i have to wait for 2.1 from htc :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
i think we got some exciting days ahead though, and im looking forward to see development on this issue..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] srt4mn:
Gave it a flash and it worked pretty darn good, great job!

Lack of Google apps prevent it from being a "daily-driver" for me, but definitely going to be keeping an eye on this thread for more updates!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
Finally :)

This ROM works great. If we get a way to get the google apps into this I think I might use this instead of HTCs own eclair update.

The only thing I cant get working is the Calendar app. This is the only thing that will make me have to revert to MCR 2.9 before going back 2 work tomorrow (and the lack of google apps, though)

I noticed one more thing. The alpha version kept most of my apps when I tried it, but this one was all clean even though I did not wipe first.

Another thing for us europeans: Spotify mobile does not work on this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dhruvzz:
great going man....keep up the good work...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghandi500:
could this not work

could we not use a method similar to this to get gapps on this rom?

http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/2009/11/archos-5-it-now-with-android-market-and.html
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
was thinkin the same...

im sure its possible to get the google stuff working on this rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
If we can get ahold of the 2.0 apps and services we need, we should be able to do something like this. Unfortunately, those apps aren't just laying around for us =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
well... tha apps arnt that hard to get, just extract them from another working eclair rom (like one of the working G1 roms)... the problem with this rom is that it is AOSP and the libs need for the basic google apps isnt "compiled" or added, so they wont install...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
As far as I'm aware there are no Eclair ROMs that contain the sync system. If you know otherwise, can you please point me in the right direction? Of course the apps themselves won't work without the underlying sync system..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dave Hagenaars:
omg Lox. How did you all of a sudden solve ALL problems getting these kind of roms working on hero? I'm impressed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
I really don't have a clue how much a skell of kava is but does 15€ cover it?

Man i love your work :D

:confused: how to install market app to my hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
that is not possible at the moment;)...

all the gaps won't work ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalewsiukas:
how to install apps to it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
adb install <apkfile>
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalewsiukas:
maybe you could tell me where I can find apps to download with *.apk? :) I am new in adroid. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
Read what Lox_Dev said and think about what your doing.

Sorry but if your new to Android you really have to find another threat to ask questions in. The [DEV] in the topic is actually supposed to mean something :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalewsiukas:
yea, ok ... thnx ... :)

htc sence not work with me

its original android backgruond
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
This is an AOSP ROM, and as listed in the original topic it doesn't have any HTC or Google proprietary components.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lostinfuture:
i've find interesting thing

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
Come on, this was discussed yesterday. In a separate threat, and I don't see how this is relevant to this topic.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lostinfuture:
damn, sorry:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ozxobez:
I've got a serious bug. I first installed this new rom and it worked ok. On the first boot I got a google calendar crash. After that, the phone behaved normally. I started the camera and made 1 picture. It worked, but after that, the app didnt start anymore (just a black screen).

Now, a couple of hours later, my whole phone stays on a black screen. When I remove the battery it doesnt work to reboot. When I leave the battery out for a while longer, it does work, but the phone gets into the "black screen" mode again.

Nothing to complain, just to report :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
Anybody got account setup working? Trying to setup exchange account, but got "force closed" error
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
Works perfectly on my Scandinavian GSM Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
I havent got a hanging phone yet, but I have seen the exact same symptoms on the calendar and camera as you. but actually I think the camera hangs before the 1 image is finished. I am only able to take that first picture and I have to boot again to take more pictures.

But I have found a way to get my favourite apps installed. I backed up all my apps with MyBackup pro and simply installed them with "adb push".

So I am going to try to live with this ROM for a day or two. I am not a developer but if it is wanted I can post all the bugs/errors I can find her.

I will miss my calendar, though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flye:
I was able to connect to a BT headset, but it doesn't work when I try to make a call. In fact, I don't get any sound, and not the guy on the other phone either, so it's unusable for the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thorracing1:
will this work on the cdma hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danibjor:
I doubt you can do that as Modaco's GMS roms don't work on the CDMA Hero's either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wasupwithuman:
Is the reason this doesn't work on the cdma hero , because it does not contain the appropriate cdma drivers or because 2.0 requires a different kernel. What do us cdma people need to do to try this eclair out
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danibjor:
To get google bits up and running..

Note on how to get the google bits up and running :D

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b0z0:
OK, so I have been using this ROM for a few hours, I have added the Google Apps (thanks to danibjor) and I have only one problem : the french dictionnary doesn't seems to be installed (for the autocomplete feature). Does someone knows where I can find it in the system so I can retrieve the one from an other ROM and add it to my device ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Everything works great so far thanks to danibjor's post. The only problem I've encountered so far is the Google maps isn't detecting my location (the app works though). But man, Eclair is a sweeeeeet ROM, can't wait til HTC comes out with theirs :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sachaka:
Great work !

The network location provider is not working however, it seems that the problem is coming from a native method.

the corresponding logcat :

http://pastebin.com/m7abb2ad6
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b0z0:
Actually, isn't the NetworkLocation.apk part of the Google's proprietary apps ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
For some reason there is no user dictionary pre installed so auto complete does not exist::confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
is it possible to get this rooted...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grusha:
Really god work.

But I got a problem with it`s freezing when i set up the wifi network.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] josifbg:
Do you manage to fix the black screen?

Bricked?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vuoshino:
on my italian hero all ok!!! only one problem... the gallery app there isn't!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
I've noticed this rom seems to boot automatically if USB is connected. Is this because if is based off dev software? Or a bug?

Also, got contacts on the first boot, but then lost them. I would advise people to make a vCard on the phone when you first load the rom so you have them backed up easily.

And got maps working :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danibjor:
Anyone know how you get localized formatting on phone numbers and dates?

I can live with an english UI, but i want stuff formatted "right".

Also, is there a way to get "more screens" like on the Hero roms? 3 is not much if you want to place out some widgets for daily use..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
Also if anyone figures out how to add a dictionary to the keyboard, that would be great, nothing is worse than typing to your friend and all the words are auto corrected to names in your contacts list :D haha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pookie1:
You can use this as a replacement for the gallery app, BrowseImage - http://andappstore.com/AndroidApplications/apps/BrowseImage
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Menno87:
Is there a way to add more locales? I really like to have the dutch locale for automatic word correcting and/or dictionary.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
Figured out the keyboard issue. You need to replace the keyboard with one from the motorola droid or the milestone or any 2.0 rom because the LatinIME in this build is empty and does not contain any dictionary, the dictionary is built into the LatinIME.apk itself
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
i've tried that, won't work @ my place, the whole keyboard won't appear with the LatinIME.apk file of droid...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b0z0:
In fact, I think that the only way is to build our own dictionaries (that would be in fact the only legal way to provide a LatinIME.apk with valid dictionaries). I know that some IME use the Wikipedia Corpus in order to do it, maybe it is something to dig in...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
not all programs are in the market:S? can't find Taskiller pro, Barcode Scanner........ :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
market enabler currently doesnt work whcih sucks, so i backed up all my files from the original hero roms, bought the apps i would need and installed them after wards on this rom. btw the LatinIME.apk worked for me, i just adb pushed it over the original LatinIME.apk, and it works like a charm now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danibjor:
I can confirm Google Nav works on this rom too using this method:

- uninstall google maps form the marked, then install this version (non-rooted version) via adb install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583123
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
Am i the only one noticing a massive battery decrease from MoDaCo 2.9? I think this sync issue is more of a problem than before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
Yes, we've already stated quite clearly that the sync is going to drain your battery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
desellect the autosync of your calendar, and it works fantastic, really fast, no battery decrease(so far i can see :))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vuoshino:
the battery lasts a very short!!! is only my problem???

Can't get location services to work in either google maps or GPS status - any ideas why it's working for some but not all??

Nice work tho :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
one question, where is the multi-touch? i tought multi touch works always with the 2.x versions:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
It FCs for me also. But I think this is a problem for Spotify to fix. Even the Motorola Droid has this, so I dont think theres any ROM issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nelly1977:
.apk files dont appear

Not Sure if this is something I'm doing incorrectly or not.

Flash update of 2.0 successfully, adb remount says successful, all .apk files appear to push successfully but when I reboot the apk files don't appear, also can't connect to Google account although internet connection is fine, :(, any ideas, is it something stupid I'm doing or not doing ? Thanks in advance guys
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Are you in the US? If I'm not mistaken, the LOX rom doesn't come with Google Maps so I went on Market and downloaded it straight from there. In terms of GPS fixation, it couldn't lock into my position yesterday and then I went outside and it works again (strange, cause it usually locks into my position while indoors also)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Isn't multi-touch software based? I guess it doesn't work for this ROM yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Did you follow the instructions from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5045511&postcount=33

The directions are a bit vague. If you're using Amon RA it should be like this:

1) Do a nandroid backup

2) Wipe dalvik-cache in Recovery Mode (Home + Power button)

3) Install the Lox ROM by putting the .zip file into the SD card, apply zip

4) Then do another dalvik-cache wipe

5) Boot the phone, set up wifi

6) Unzip all the files from google bits into the folder with the ADB tool and push it all

7) Reboot and then it SHOULD show the Setup Wizard (like setting up Google account, etc)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
So I used one of the Dream 2.0 ROM and extracted various APK like MediaGallery, MediaProvider, and MediaUploader in hope that one of them is the Album gallery...and none of them works. So, how do we get the gallery to view albums and pictures? Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
Why not take this up in the thread made for getting google apps to work om 2.0 not in the AOSP thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] burgess_boy:
Turned off autosync and background sync processes in the settings yet still have problems with battery draining quickly. I can only presume it is from an app or widget I backed up and restored from my previous rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nelly1977:
Yer, followed the instructions, only thing u didnt do was set up the WiFi as a have no WiFi
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
yeah that's right, but i tought Google had make multi-touch in 2.0(or it will be 2.1)

so i was wondering why noth in this release :P (i'm running it now for a day, it works perfectly, only the sync is a bit buggy, and some programs are not in the market:()
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratcom:
@Lox_Dev Well done mate! major move forward! I'm going to give this a go now!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
btw guys.... is bluetooth supposed to work in eclair? is bluetooth working in this aosp build?

just curious as i think i read somewhere that bluetooth will be working in eclair. though i never use bluetooth but just want to know. cheers

good question ;), i'm trying it now;)

yeah its for hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martint235:
Hi,

I'm still very happy with my Hero, however I'm sure the time will come to move to a new device. My understanding is that my applications from the market are tied to my device, is this the case or are they tied to my Google account?

Basically when I do move to another device (almost certainly another Android device unless Windows 7 for Mobile is spectacular!) do I lose all my paid for apps?

Ta

M
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Your paid apps are tied to your Google account. Some apps, eg Copilot, have a separate activation procedure and these are tied to the phone. However, in this case you can deactivate the software on the old phone and reactivate it again on the new one.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lostnfound53:
Long time lurker here. I've been following this forum for some time and was wondering if anyone has found and successfully edited the host file so that ads no longer load, thereby saving much bandwidth and getting snappier-loading web pages. It's been done on the Palm Pre and iPhone, and I've tried to find the host file on the Hero, but no luck yet.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
I believe there is an app somewhere on the marketplace that does this for you. But either way, Android is a linux system like any other (albeit highly stupified by Google) so the hosts file is /system/etc/hosts.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lostnfound53:
Ah yes, I did find another thread in the (G1) Dream forum with steps on how to do this. Thanks for the reply.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
Ad-less browsing. :D

All you have to do is put it in the /system/etc/ folder.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lostnfound53:
You are the man (or woman?)! Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
Man. :cool:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lostnfound53:
I realize that this is a totally nub question but I can't seem to figure it out. How do I copy this host file from my Windows computer to the /system/etc/ folder on the Hero? It'd be awesome to be able to browse the phone's filesystem from Windows but, alas, no such luck.
[HD2 General] Fru T Bunn:
Why oh why is the camera sticking out like that?

Otherwise :) Screen is a killer.
[HD2 General] prank1:
Congratulations on your new device ;)

The camera sticks out so that if you put the HD2 on a flat table, it wont wobble around or start to rock..
[HD2 General] Fru T Bunn:
I already love this device so will blindly go with your explanation.;)

I've actually looked looked at the device side on really closely and the camera sticking out actually raises the device up just enough so the lens isn't flat against the surface therefore meaning less scratches when the device is face up. Excellent design! :)
[HD2 General] Fatherboard:
Yea, you can tell by the lens's squared housing that it won't get harmed while sitting on a surface.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
As well as the raised surround protecting the lens from scratches, I suspect it may also (deliberately or coincidentally) 'protect' the lens from direct light from the flash. I've seen many camera phones where photos taken with the flash have the light bleeding in from the side of the photo where the flash is.
[HD2 General] simplymee:
.......... but your suface will. Haha :D
[HD2 General] hmota78:
Another reason is so that you can hear the speaker when you have the phone facing up :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonflore:
I have a strange problem that hasn't been reported.

My volume buttons, my phone- & my menu-button won't work from time to time.

I have moments that everything works properly, but normally all four of them don't react( no backgroundlight also).

And one more extra with this, when the buttons won't work, sometimes the Hero thinks that i'm pressing the volumedownkey numerous times. That means that he puts himself in vibrating mode en keeps vibrating, i can stop this by going standby or pushing a working button. Sometimes it stops, sometimes it starts again after two seconds.

Hope to have someone who can help
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
sounds like a hardware issue to me. what did you do to make sure these problems aren't related to some software you have installed?
