It may be something else I've broken (I've been tinkering), but is anyone getting gmail push with this build?

Mine seems to have stopped. I can check the mail manually, but nothing is getting pushed to me. Since this could be a Google issue, or something I've done, I'm looking for input before i troubleshoot.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
I was getting Gmail fine the first day. I'm going to reflash my phone tonight & start fully testing it.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
nevermind.
[Hero CDMA General] bobdude5:
thanks so much for this works like a charm :)
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
contacts arent syncing

Hi. I'm having a problem getting my contacts to sync up.everything else though is working flawlessly though
[Hero CDMA General] jerrygon:
Do the protected apps in the market place show up with this rom??

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
I'm also having issues with new emails being pushed to my phone, but I have been tinkering with SU, so I also may have broke it. I have already installed this on another friend's Hero & I'm going to see if they are having the same issue.

UPDATE:

My friend has not been having an issues receiving new email or with the notifications, so something related to SU or busybox, is possibly causing the issue.

I think there might be issue with Google sync after the initial sync.

Yes protected apps show up in the market & install fine.
[Hero CDMA General] incogneato:
Thanks. I went the whole way back. RUU, rooted with 1.5.2 recovery, flashed quietcblongs 1.6 and copied over googlebits. I'll leave it for a while and verify sync works as expected.

I don't see how busyboxes symlinks or moving su could break it, but your research mirrors mine, so we will see what happens.
[Hero CDMA General] incogneato:
Sometime last evening Google syncing stopped again. I'm going to try some mixing and matching with the various 1.5 and 1.6 versions of googlebits.
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
When i put the code in the cmd it says code not found
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
i meant error device not found
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Did you install the Android SDK? If you did, did first cd to the tools folder of you Android SDK, before you did all the adb commands?
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
i did i do not know what is wrong
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
If you are getting the device not found get out of the recovery image.
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
Oh do you have to be on recovery image LOL sorry I am a noob
[Hero CDMA General] incogneato:
1. Make sure you have the drivers installed if you're using windows. Install the HTC sync program from HTC, or do it manually if you're on Win7.

2. Reboot your PC WITHOUT the phone plugged in.

3. Open menu-settings-applications-development abd UNCHECK USB debugging.

4. Plug in your phone

5. Recheck USB debugging and see if Windows finds and correctly connects to your phone. There will be activity in the system tray, open it and read the output. If is says your device(s) are ready to use, it's probably OK.

6. Open the command prompt and cd to the tools directory in the SDK folder.

7. At the prompt type adb shell

8. If you get errors, say what they are and at which step.

It's not all you. Windows absolutely sucks with this type of thing, and it never works exactly the same each time.

Ontopic -

@gu1dry - I've been using a different set of googlebits and am not seeing any sync errors or missed mail so far (since 12/29). Tomorrow when I'm not so high I'll zip them and send them to you (gu1dry) to see how they act for you. It's a mix up of what we were using, with some from a Modaco 1.6 Hero ROM, and some from the Stock ION ROM.

@everyone - I've also got all root and busybox functions working well, (i.e. root file browsers work, commands run on a term on the phone work, etc) and have my application cache running on the sd card. I am working on SuperUser.apk and Wireless tether. Having quietcblongs new version of AOSP will help tons. The location working will let me use this ROM full time. We owe all of this to him.

Apps2sd is the last thing I am going to worry about. No need to ask for it yet, but feel free to jump in if you need it. Shouldn't be hard, but getting everything else working while i can easily wipe/flash and not have to restore a ext partition is much easier.
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
i fnally was able to do it thanks for the help
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
incog, just to let know, my friend's phone that I installed Gbits on, on the last AOSP 1.6 build, still is receiving their email perfectly fine...
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Hmmm, interesting, I just updated to the latest AOSP 1.6 build & I can't get my Google Contacts to push my phone. Guess I'll just with for a bit & see if I can fix it.

Update:

I just pushed the Gbits again to the phone & now Contacts are syncing fine.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Just an update.

Have been running the newest AOSP 1.6 & have pushed the Googlebits, I put together, since Friday & all the Googlebits work like a charm.
[Hero CDMA General] jerrygon:
Yep the googlebits have been working great for me too. But there are some apps in the marketplace that are not showing up for me. Example... PicSay Pro and Handscent... Let me know if you guys have the same problem...
[Hero CDMA General] cdell:
Everything works for me. I am missing several but not all apps Scan2pdf etc. It seems to be copy protected apps that are not showing although I haven't done an exhaustive search.
[Hero CDMA General] BrianDigital:
Hey how do we update our contacts on this rom after the setup has already been done
[Hero CDMA General] BrianDigital:
yeah no pic say pro for me either
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
It should pick them right away, if it doesn't push the Googlebits pack again to the phone. I had to with the last AOSP 1.6 build.
[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:
could you be a little more specific on how exactly to do this im clueless haha
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
hope this helps

cd/
cd /androidsdk/tools/
adb devices

make sure your phone info shows up

adb shell

make sure you get super user (i.e. this symbol #)if you do then just copy and paste his code and your good. if not then

su

then copy and paste

cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
ls /system/bin/
rm /system/xbin/su/

busybox -install/system/xbin/
[Hero CDMA General] Sawawa:
Sorry for the (potentially) silly question, but what exactly does this accomplish?
[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:
would this make wifi tether work and is something else supposed to come up after

i type in ls /system/bin/ i get this same thing spit back out at me on every code actually does this mean it worked right
[Hero CDMA General] daryelv:
All very basic *nix commands...

The "cp" commands copy the file from a source to a destination. (It duplicates the file, it does not move it).

The "ls" command list the contents of the directory. It's put in there just so you can verify that the file 'su' moved.

The "rm" command removes (deletes) the file specified.

-Daryel
[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:
so i was supposed to get some sort of feedback when i did the ls /system/bin/

cause all i got when i put in tht code was the same thing i put in

o yea could this possibly be messing up because i rooted my phone on a different computer then the one im trying on now..
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
the comp souldnt matter as long as the one your working on has android SDK installed.

when you use the ls command it should have brought up a list of everything that is in that directory.
[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:
yea it didnt do that it just spit the same code bak at me
[Hero CDMA General] hbkmat:
What is the issue with the speakerphone? I have everything I need for a daily use but the speakerphone. Damn california law, you can drink a little bit and drive why cant you drove or text a little bit?
[Hero CDMA General] Jwahlg:
Lol, You can go ahead and text and drive

It's only texting while driving that gets the troopers alittle agitated,

Feel free to booze up while your going down the interstate though >.<

They'll love you death

Flashing the rom now, let you all know how it goes
[Hero CDMA General] djsplitimage:
I can't seem to get this to work, I'm typing in stuff but for example the first "cp" code spits back "cp can not be found"

and when i try to install busybox I get "applet not found"

help?
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
I can't get the whole moving the su to work. cp won't work until busybox is installed, and after i finally move su, metamorph says busybox isn't installed. I'm stumped

EDIT: I got it! All I had to do was reinstall the superuser app!
[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:
where did you get the su app i need it
[Hero CDMA General] rustyman14:
Is anyone having problems with google maps i cant get it to find the GPS signal.. GPS status works fine but google maps wont work..
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
No problems here.
[Hero CDMA General] rustyman14:
Have you flashed the mms fix???
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
No but the MMS fix should not affect GMaps from getting a GPS signal.
[Hero CDMA General] mcgrathx:
I must be missing something. I can't seem to grab root access using super user permissions.... I'm attempting to get Root File Manager working properly and I black screen each time. Anyone that has this working give a little help?

Thanks!

EDIT: Found this elsewhere and pieced it together. Hope it helps someone else:

Gain SU access for third part apks:

"adb shell"

"mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"

"cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su"

"chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
[Hero CDMA General] venumx:
On windows 7 once you are in the tools dir in cmd prompt just rename the attached file fixmy1.6.bat.txt to fixmy1.6.bat and drag and drop it into the cmd prompt window...just easier than copying and pasting everything...it will auto run the whole first part for you
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
does anyone know why I'm getting this ?

# cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su

cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su

cp: not found

# busybox -install/system/xbin/

busybox -install/system/xbin/

: applet not found

:confused:
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
"cp" will not work until you have busybox installed.

You're install busybox incorrectly, the proper code is:

busybox --install /system/xbin/
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
Hi how do you do google bits on a mac
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
It's pretty much the same.

Download the Android SDK

Launch Terminal

cd to the tools folder in the Android SDK & type the command "android"

Install the drivers with the Android SDK

Hook the phone up (with USB Debugging turned on)

Run all the commands
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
Sorry i am still not getting it. I already cd to the tools folder. but how do i install the drivers ?. can you pliz give me a more detailed description.
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
BTW you guys are always quick to awnser my questions . i appreciate that
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
NVM mind on the driver stuff, too used to Windows & all this driver BS. Just skip steps 3 & 4.
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
It does not seem to be working. so do i have to cd to the tools folder or not. and the commands are the same ones as the windows one right ?
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
Btw i am not using the AOSP 1.6 ROM. i am using this ROM http://forum.androidcentral.com/spr...rom-sneak-peek-working-donut-cdma-hero-7.html does that have anything to do with it not working.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Yes you still have to cd to the tools folder. try adding "./" before adb & see if that changes anything. It should still work on that ROM also.
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
Yea still not working here is what i get when i put what you said

paul-rojer-MacBook-Pro:~ bron018$ cd ~/Documents/androidsdk/tools

paul-rojer-MacBook-Pro:tools bron089$ ./

-bash: ./: is a directory

paul-rojerMacBook-Pro:tools bron018$ adb remount

paul-rojer-MacBook-Pro:tools bron018$ adb reboot
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
append ./ in front of adb as in "./adb ..."
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
Ok some progress this is what i get when i put ./ before ADB

paul-rojer-MacBook-Pro:~ bron018$ cd ~/Documents/androidsdk/tools

paul-rojer-MacBook-Pro:tools bron018$ ./adb remount

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

-bash: adb: command not found

paul-rojer-MacBook-Pro:tools bron018$ adb reboot
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Ya you have to put "./adb <insert command>" everytime
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
haha, sorry, probably wasnt clear enough in my first reply. put the ./ in front of each adb command.

./adb remount

./adb push system/framework /system/framework

...

...
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
Ohh lol thanks i tried that and got this

paul-rojer-MacBook-Pro:~ bron018$ cd ~/Documents/androidsdk/tools

paul-rojer-MacBook-Pro:tools bron018$ ./adb remount

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

-bash: adb: command not found

paul-rojer-MacBook-Pro:tools bron018$ adb push system/app /system/app

-bash: adb: command not found

paul-rojer-MacBook-Pro:tools bron018$ adb reboot
[Hero CDMA General] daryelv:
Try "./adb remount"

"./adb push ..... etc"

I think people are going to start needing Shell scripts to do all their ADB commands rather than command line. Shell scripts or BATch files would help with the nooB users not used to Unix or MS-Dos commands. The other option would be to write a quick front-end UI for the Mac OSX people.

-Daryel
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
You're not listening.

./ goes in front of EVERY command you do.
[Hero CDMA General] bron019:
Ok i finally did it thanks everyone for your help.
[Hero CDMA General] riotkid976:
I have two questions since 1.6 AOSP just got to a point where I could use it as my daily...

Is there an update.zip around here somewhere to install googlebits (I'm feeling very lazy atm lol)?

If not, what are the odds that fresh's kitchen will work for pushing everything?

edit: found it on androidcentral, but 4shared is being rude and won't let me dowload...maybe it'll be done by the time i wake up in the morning...
[Hero CDMA General] adelaney:
I used fresh kitchen and it worked perfect. Also, on android central, the post by gbhil for donut on cdma hero, someone posted an signed update zip for Google bits. It was on the last page. Better hurry.
[Hero CDMA General] riotkid976:
Yeah, that is where I got mine from. Now I just need to figure out where to put clicker.apostate and HTC_ime.apk to make the rosie keyboard work...
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Has anyone gotten these apk's to work in 2.0? I've tried pushing them all, and GoogleApps.apk, the keyboard, and something else keeps crashing. I'm pushing them all now without those.
[Hero CDMA General] riotkid976:
I haven't seen any proof of them working in a 2.x build. But I know they work in 1.6...

Where do you push them to for the keyboard? I tried system/framework but it did nothing :(
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I have no idea. I can't even find an app in the Googlebits package referring to a keyboard lol. The market starts to work in 2.0, but then it FC's when it gets to the Terms of Agreement.
[Hero CDMA General] riotkid976:
Googlebits won't have anything to do with the keyboard. That is part of the AOSP Android build. It's the stock keyboard; but there is a way to replace it with the sense one.

As for market, I've had no problems with it on the 1.6 build. And if I remember right, when I was testing 2.x the only problem I had was some apps I had installed wouldn't show up in the market, but that seemed to clear itself up over time...
[Hero CDMA General] adelaney:
I think the keyboard will be in system/framework/. For gbits......Not trying to be snide, but did you read the tutorial, there's a couple more steps than just pushing the Google apps. You could go to android central and download the signed 1.6 Googlebits zip, and flash from recovery. Otherwise, could be wrong version maybe? If so, pull gapps from 2.1 and try those.
[Hero CDMA General] riotkid976:
I tried system/framework/ any other suggestions?

As for the 1.6 2.x issue, I think you're right. If I recall correctly, when I was using it, I think it was the 2.0.1 Rom that got discontinued. I think there was a gbits that came with it.
[Hero CDMA General] adelaney:
Try system/framework/framework-res.apk
[Hero CDMA General] riotkid976:
that folder (and all those nested within) is essentially all the "theme" folders. they don't contain the keyboard :(

other suggestions? anyone?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Keyboards are stored in /system/app. The stock Android one is called LatinIME.apk. The HTC own, which is not included in this ROM, is called HTC_IME.apk.
[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
Someone posted an update.zip for googlebits in the aosp 2.0 thread, try checking there. It will only work with 2.0 for those on here who are lazy
[Hero CDMA General] rulermon:
i have only one question

I love this rom and i apreicate everyone that answers questions for all us noob users the only thing that keeps me stuck to that darn 1.5 is that i NEED wifi tether it is 65% of what i do with my phone...(it is my only internet connection at this point) can somone direct me to a post to make it (wifi tether) work or tell me that it is a lost cause at this point so i can stop wasting my time looking thanks a bunch guys and keep up the great work
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
This apk should work.
[Hero CDMA General] myke66:
Does the GPS work on gmaps for anyone else? The 1.6 build is supposed to have working GPS but i cant get it to work, any ideas?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Don't ask the same question, within a few minutes of each other, on the same sub-forum, please.
[Hero CDMA General] myke66:
they were similar but different, at first i thought i was having an issue with gmaps, hence this question, then i realized gps in the rom wasnt working, so a question about gps in the rom's thread was appropriate.

doesnt matter now, no reason it shouldnt work, kinda hard to mess up a wipe/flash and it doesnt work so ill wait for a working one.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Did you use my compiled GBits or ghbil's GBits?
[Hero CDMA General] myke66:
Yours from this thread, all of them worked, except the rom finding my location. the location settings were turned on but no dice.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
I used my compiled GBits with the last build. With this latest build, I got a little lazy & simple used gbhil's GBits update.zip, which you can get here. Also I am using gbhil's Superuser update.zip from the same link.

Maybe a reflash of AOSP1.6 & using these scripts, you will get a different result.
[Hero CDMA General] myke66:
ill give it a try and see, thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] rulermon:
help please

so every time i try to launch android tether 1_60_htc it gives me there error that wifi tether can not start please try again... is there some permissions i may need to change i see alot of people moving files around in this forum is there somthing i skipped.... all i have done was install the newest 1.6 release the the great devs have made and pushed Gbits to the phone..... thanks for the help
[Hero CDMA General] rulermon:
i got it working i hope this helps somone else

i was having problems with tether but i finaly wiped and followed the directions from this web site with the exception of i used the 1.6 rom from xda installed super user ....follow the directions they are what worked for me....thanks for the help guys...............link to directions i used hope this helps http://forum.androidcentral.com/35717-post119.html
[Hero CDMA General] riotkid976:
I pulled the LatinIME.apk and then pushed in Clicker.apk and HTC_IME.apk but i still have the vanilla keyboard. any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
You want to keep LatinIME.apk on the phone, but once you get the Clicker.apk & HTC_IME.apk to the phone, all you have to do is long press on a text field & you will have an option to use the "Touch Input" aka HTC's keyboard. Also if you were using the Cyanogen's HTC_IME & Clicker, pushing them to /system/app/ will cause endless FC's. You have to install them via command "adb install Clicker.apk" & "adb install HTC_IME.apk".
[Hero CDMA General] rulermon:
ok....

I have got everything on my phone working but the mms and blue tooth ...

i dont care about blutooth but i need mms send to work...i can recieve and not send i know this is the problem everyone WAS having but for some reason i am still having it...can somone point me too the solution i have installed the newest 1.6 as of 1/24/10 thanks for your help with gbits 1.6 and superuser are the only things if messed with
[Hero CDMA General] Tikerz:
I did the same thing and it works great.

Latest AOSP 1.6

gbhil's Gbits

gbhil's Superuser update
[Hero CDMA General] myke66:
Did a wipe, fresh install of this 1.6, and gbhil's bits zip and still GPS will not work. Cannot find my location for maps or any apps that use it.
[Hero CDMA General] Tikerz:
I don't know if this helps, but I followed the exact instructions in the post below. I just substituted the first file with the latest AOSP 1.6 posted here.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/35717-post119.html
[Hero CDMA General] daveydave:
I still can't get this to work, and I read all the replies of this thread. Basically, it doesn't think I have su in the /system/bin/ directory, hence the "cp: not found" error I get. So I did a cd /system/xbin and ls. Sure enough, su is in the list. So I just did cp su /system/bin/su. Same error. So then, I tried insalling busybox anyway. I typed the command "busybox --install /system/xbin/" and got a few pages back of files, but all were followed by the words "Read-only file system". Is that normal?

What am I missing without this Busybox thing? Is it crucial? Google is syncing, app store works, gps even seems to work, though I haven't tried Nav mode yet. Thanks.

UPDATE: Ok, so I guess I read this earlier, but apparently the copy command "cp" is the issue, not being installed??? How do I copy without a copy command again?
[Hero CDMA General] lostnfound53:
Busybox lets you run some linux commands such as "cp." I do not know how to install it for AOSP 1.6 but do a search for a guide on his to install it for 1.5. The steps are probably the same.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Busybox has to be installed first before the "cp" command will work. So you just to the following commands to install busybox:

adb remount
adb shell
busybox --install /system/xbin/

I'm probably going to rewrite the first post to make a few things easier to do.
[Hero CDMA General] daveydave:
Yeah, see my previous post, that isn't working either. Apparently my phone's xda dir is read-only? When I type your above busybox command, I get a list of files, each one showing "Read-only file system" after it. Is that normal? If so, it still didn't install cp, as when I do an ls it isn't listed. Hmm.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
You have to "adb remount" like I said in my last post; if you don't "adb remount" the system will be read-only.
[Hero CDMA General] daveydave:
Ahh, sorry about that. Missed that I guess. :-) Wait, I did that when installing Google bits, but I did the other instructions, so it was faster (not the one at a time one you published). Did I need to do another adb remount after that?

Wondering if this will fix my GMail update issues? Or could that be seperate? I'm using the googlebits from the link in your signature.
