How did u fix it. Was it user error or a change to the zip. If a change ill update first post
[Android Apps and Games] Bxsteez:
Just gave it a shot and still no dice. It does not make any changes.
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
What phone r u using. I'm using cdma hero. If u can ask someone around ur forum to put it in a version that u can update with. I guess some phone do updates differently
[Android Apps and Games] iamdata:
sorry im afraid i havent got this working. I got the phone to hang on the loading screen A N D R O I D

it wouldnt move from there.

i belive that this is due to the sync and facebook being built into the core system. I used ROOT explorer enabled READ/WRITE and then copied to the location. i noticed that it took the name facebook.katana, but i already have the facebook.apk sitting in the system directory.

so i did the obvious and renamed the facebook.apk as facebook.apk.bak and then got the katana version and named as facebook.apk.

This is where the problem began.... the phone is now non booting.... well luckily i did make a nandroid, so im restored back to that.

Im not sure that this facebook file is compatible on the milestone, i can post the file ive got frfom titanium for you to mod if you like, and you can see wht you think?

If not, if you explain how you have modded this i can try myself?

cheers for your work so far
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
U can post ur version of facebook. Ill mod it. There were lots of XML edits and a classes.dex edit
[Android Apps and Games] Bxsteez:
I'm using the incredible... I thought this was for the incredible since it was in the incredible forum. I guess its not necessary i just thought your work was amazing. Simple idea but i always love less strain on my eyes. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
Well its the app from the market so I figured it would work for all phones. Just gotta get the delivery method correct. But it should work. I believe others have flashed it with this phone
[Android Apps and Games] kovdev:
It's funny that 95% of the images you created for this app are sitting on my HDD right now in the DarkEdgeProject directory. And even more interesting that the EXACT color code used in the Blue version of DE happens to be inside the resources.arsc .... what a small world, right?
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
I got a lot of this from a few different roms and ported it over and modded quite a few on my own. I don't know if they used part of ur rom or not. If u read the top of my post then u would read that I stated that I ported this with my own mods and help to get it working on a sense rom from another dev I work with. So next time u want to come at me like that then I suggest u pm me or do it differently in public. U understand me
[Android Apps and Games] Bxsteez:
Hmmm... I'm not sure what i could be doing wrong. I wonder if the version of the facebook app matters?
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
I believe its the newest one from market
[Android Apps and Games] kovdev:
Nope, I don't understand. For starters, a PM was sent to you but you failed to respond. Secondly, if you pulled this from a rom - then what rom? I don't see any mention of thanks to them for the images that you copied over without change.

I read your post in its entirety, I still don't understand but only because its blatantly obvious where the source material came from yet you failed put credit where credit was due. The icon style, the tab image style, the exact color code, the button styling. Hell, the font in the facebook_logo.9 is Zegoe which is the exact font that is used in the DE theme and doesn't match the rest of your app. As of right now, I've lost count on the number of images that are directly from our theme... oh its all of them.

And since we don't distribute in any roms, as DarkEdge is a theme only - that means that if you did find things on a rom, I would love to know which one.

I'm all about the love - but only when its reciprocated appropriately.
[Android Apps and Games] Aznneedlovetoo:
You should maybe start putting version numbers on this app. :D
[Android Apps and Games] goodjob:
Its still telling me the same thing. I go into Astro, find the file, try to install and it still won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
Yeah I thought I had it installing but no go. The app can be flashed or pushed to phone
[Android Apps and Games] rolfd:
I don't suppose there is any chance you could make this work on the froyo builds that are doing the rounds here? The FRF83 ones?

Thanks again for this though. I loved it on my2.1 rom.
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
If u post the app ill theme it and post it
[Android Apps and Games] rolfd:
I just downloaded the facebook for android app from the market.

I then used your update.zip but it didn't have any affect on the app.

if I try your apk. it gives me a failed to install error.
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
The install version isn't working. Used the signed version and either flash in recovery or push via adb to system/app
[Android Apps and Games] rolfd:
Flashing in recovery doesn't work.

What do I need to type to try pushing it using adb? I've never used adb before.

If it's not too much bother can you tell me from the first step if possible?

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
Put app in android-sdk/tools folder unzipped.

Open command prompt. Type CD then directory of above folder

Then make sure phone is plugged in and synced.

Type adb remount

Then adb push system/app/facebook.apk

That should do it. I think LOL
[Android Apps and Games] rolfd:
Do I need to type an unmount or anything once I'm done, or just unplug usb?

Cheers for your help here!
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
Nope just unplug
[Android Apps and Games] Papa Smurf151:
All the remount does is tell the phone to be read/write instead of just read.

Oh also make sure debugging is turn on for ur phone. Its in ur phone settings somewhere
[Android Apps and Games] hoovnick:
Keeps saying application not installed on all versions posted. I allow non-market apps but still nothing. Am I missing something here.
[Android Apps and Games] iamdata:
sorry for the delay, i just updated to the latest g.o.t version and their version of facebook has a widget already in transparent. the only thing missing would be the main app being inverted. i tried to use titanium to backup my app, but i cant find where it was put but here is the apk from the folder

E:\OpenRecovery\GOT\apps\

http://www.iamdarren.com/xda/Facebook.apk

is it possible to edit twitter app widget? i would like to get them to look the same, as i use both widgets on one screen. 1 step at a time i know :)
[Android Apps and Games] dmoses1969:
Just tried installing the apk myself and it continues to fail.
[Android Apps and Games] orkillakilla:
yup apk didn't install. Possibly because in 2.1 facebook is a system app.

[Android Apps and Games] :
Well, you asked...

The two images used for the background contrast too much, and due to the bottom one having a thin white border it doesn't look like they fit together properly.

The arrow-keys at the bottom just look awkward. The background uses a gradient and they're just sold colour, so they stick out. Also the lines for the arrow look sharp and jagged as the haven't been anti-aliased properly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
Hey I'm curious as I know Sense widgets are only available with the HTC Sense launcher... but what about applications that come with it as well such as their Desk Clock application? Is this compatible on other non sense roms?

I'm trying to move myself off Desire roms because of incompatibilities, at first I missed the widgets but pure messenger, fancy widget etc have helped me there. But I still can't find anything nearly as polished as their Desk Clock application.. or just how much better the htc calculator looks compared to the stock!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
Bump. Nobody know? Should I post in different General or Themes?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Calculator works, but the sense applications are framework dependent.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walie:
Everyone knows except you, because it gets asked roughly 1 billions times a week
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
I haven't seen anybody ask that before...I always see about the widgets though.

Although now I remember that from when I had Desire rom seeing all the images from their applications in the framework...

I am starting to write games for the G sensor based phones and this one has been tested on my HTC HD.

This is a project in development and I am trying to get ideas for how I can make this game a worthwhile project/something interesting.

:DThe game is in many ways similar to the old game Asteroids... but a bit more basic. Control your yellow dot with the tilt of the phone, press on parts of the screen you want to fire. Avoid the enemy dots and try to fire at them.

I am looking for your ideas! - in particular, I am looking for suggestions on the following areas.

1. Graphics - image attachments would be amazing!

2. Score keeping

3. How to deal with lives/restarts

4. General game play - e.g. faster/slower/enemy counts & increment... anything really!

I want to make this game as simple as possible to play and very intuitive...

I look forward to any suggestions.

:DTo install, just unzip the contents of the attachment (2 files) to any folder and then run gFire.exe. To exit the game, crash into an enemy and a button will appear to exit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sike222:
hey great idea i hope you keep it going.

I just installed it onto my hd2 but am struggling with the g sensor. i really struggle to get out of the corner with it. the response when firing is great though.

good luck.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the0ne:
trying it now.. will add video soon

same issue as @sike222 , the thing goes in to the corner and stays there ,no response top gSensor movement :(

Tested on WM6.5.3 on a diamond
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nirpaudyal:
Can you please tell me what you mean by "top gSensor movement"? Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the0ne:
that was a typo :)

no response to gSensor movement
[HD2 General] Finch44:
Hey guys, I googled my question and XDA-d it pretty hard before asking. So if I missed it, my apologies. I just noticed that sometimes when I post pictures from my "albums" it will say "uploaded via HTC Sense" below it, which is badass of course. Other times though, it wont say via HTC Sense. Its really 50/50. Uploading a picture or Status update Via the FB app for Windows Mobile will say "Uploaded via Windows Mobile," obviously. Just wondering if anyone has found a for sure way to update their status (and upload pics) so it says "Uploaded via HTC Sense" instead of Windows Mobile all the time? Not that Im ashamed or anything.... :D

Thanks if anyone else has had this "problem" and has any advice.

*note*

I did try the following link but nothing I didnt already know or tried.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696007
[HD2 General] M3PH:
did you try just using the facebook integration in sense to do the updates and uploads? and not using the windows mobile application ever? Just an idea, not tried it myself but it may do the trick.
[HD2 General] Finch44:
I was aware the facebook integration and the windows mobile app were the same thing? Cuz the HD2 did come with the FB app but if there is a status update somewhere in sense Ill search more for it. Thanks for the tip
[HD2 General] M3PH:
nope they are slightly different. Two ways of doing the same thing.
[HD2 General] Finch44:
Found it. If anyone else in the future needs help with this-

For status updates:

- go to your contacts

- Click "Me" (or whatever your FB account is linked to on your contacts list)

- Scroll to the bottom and click on the area below "Facebook" and it will show "Whats on your mind" (status update) and the button to "share"

I just did two updates within the hour and both show "Posted via HTC Sense"

Always sexy.

Good stuff.

Thanks MEPH for motivating me to look a little more. Hope it helps someone else in the future.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bitbang3r:
For the past few days, I've been dealing with what appears to be a disproportionately huge group of Evo owners (relative to other Android phones) who've been having crashes with an app I wrote that appear to be caused by the unavailability of network-based location services. I did some research, and it looks like a LOT of Evo owners have been doing things that (temporarily?) disable network-based location services in an attempt to keep the battery from dying too quickly.

Are Evo users who do this literally going into Settings and disabling network-based location services outright, or are there one or more apps/hacks that supposedly disable it only when "it's not being used"? If there are, what does an app that depends on network-based location services have to do to make sure that whatever is supposedly enabling network-based location services "when necessary" realizes that it is, in fact, necessary... and do it in a way that won't cause the lookup request to prematurely or needlessly fail?

Like I've said, I've had a few users with other phones have problems due to the app's current absolute dependency on the availability of network-based location services... but with Evo owners, it's more like a nonstop hailstorm of complaints. Rewriting the way the app handles location to eliminate that absolute dependency is my next major project, but it's going to take me at least a week or two to finish, and in the meantime I'd love to be able to find a temporary solution that I can patch and release tonight that will solve the worst of the problem for the majority of Evo users in the meantime.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mattrb:
Speak up brother. What is the App (so people who don't have the slightest clue as to how to relate your user name with the buggy app you have)?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] merak69:
I'm not sure why anyone would do this, aside from "privacy" concerns... It will not help with battery life on it's own. If your GPS is turned off, your device gets it's relative location via the cell phone tower's coordinates. This information gets transmitted to your phone regardless if you have it disabled to accept it.

They are probably thinking that if they disable it, other services won't try to update information based on your location. Instead they should just adjust any services that are auto-updating.

I can go >24hours before I need to charge my phone with moderate usage throughout the day (without using 4G). I can post SystemPanel screenshots if anyone is interested.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bitbang3r:
OK, if it makes you happy, I didn't personally write it that way. It's a legacy app I'm helping to fix. In the meantime, I'm trying to put out as many fires as quickly as I can. That said, I'm not going to condemn the original author. All things considered, it was a perfectly reasonable decision for him to make. It was his first major Android programming project, and his immediate runtime environment was a Droid on Verizon. 99% of his Android-owning friends were Sprint or Verizon. For the most part, on Sprint & Verizon, network-based location services work really well. The app's dependency on them didn't really bubble to the surface as anything more than likely user error until lots of non-Americans started showing up with phones that couldn't be automatically assumed to have inseparably-bundled mandatory data service.

Truth be told, America is a lot like Japan -- cellular networks that are almost proprietary to the national market and work in ways that aren't necessarily consistent with the way things work elsewhere in the world, but utterly ubiquitous and totally dominant within it. I'm sure that right now, plenty of Japanese developers are writing Android apps that assume every phone supports network-level low-latency "Push to Talk" capabilities (IDEN's "killer app"), or some other feature that's ubiquitous in Japan and (almost) unheard of elsewhere. Six months from now, they're going to be scratching their heads wondering why it crashes on every phone in Europe and most phones in America (Sprint, and I think Verizon, try to emulate IDEN's PTT on CDMA by buffering the audio stream on a server, then sending a SMS to the recipient's phone that triggers its download and streaming a couple of seconds later).

Anyway, I digress. Getting back to the original question, are Evo owners who disable network location doing it manually, or are they doing it in a way that can be worked with cooperatively by apps in order to get it to automatically turn it back on when needed?

Actually, I have theory #2 about why Evo owners might be having problems, but it's pure speculation at this point. I'm wondering whether there might be Evo owners who've explicitly disabled EV-DO and 1xRTT to try and force the phone to use WiMax in areas where it might otherwise try to fall back to the older modes, and the possibility that even NON-network location service DEPENDS on EV-DO/1xRTT for aGPS data transmission of the raw telemetry data. In a way, it makes sense... the WiMax network is totally parallel to the CDMA2000 network, and it's not inconceivable that there might BE no data route between the Sprint WiMax network and the servers that handle aGPS queries. Especially if there aren't any real-world locations where Sprint WiMax is available, but CDMA2000 data is not.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] merak69:
If you go into the settings you can disable the network location, but there are ways for an app to ask if the user wants to turn the setting back on.

Evo owners can't disable 1xRTT otherwise standard calls and text messages won't work anymore. They can change settings if they have their MSL code such that EVDO isn't ever used however.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bitbang3r:
Well, maybe "disable" is a strong term. I know that on a Hero, there's a network setting somewhere that allows you to tell the phone, "Use EV-DO, or don't do data at all". It doesn't affect the operation of voice or sms -- only the phone's willingness to fall back to 1xRTT for internet access if EV-DO isn't available. I'm assuming the Evo has a similar setting that goes a step further and lets you dictate "WiMax or Nothing".

Here's how it could theoretically affect location services: obviously Sprint does aGPS. By law, it HAS to do it for e911 purposes. HOWEVER, I think that non-e911 aGPS lookups on Android phones get diverted through Google (or at least an aGPS service hosted by Google) unless you pay Sprint extra for navigation service. Under those conditions, if you told the phone to use ONLY WiMax for internet access, and you were in an area where only EV-DO and/or 1xRTT data were available, you could have a situation where the phone can do e911 location, but wouldn't necessarily have that info available for use by other applications (vis-a-vis most of HTC's WinMo 6 phones). If the phone couldn't use WiMax, and the user dictated "WiMax or Nothing", the phone couldn't reach Google. Without Google, there'd be no free aGPS for Android apps to consume.

The above is pure speculation, of course. As a practical matter, Sprint itself can't/won't give a coherent explanation of where the line gets drawn between Sprint and Google for (a)GPS service, which makes troubleshooting location-related problems that much more fun. Personally, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if late-model HTC phones DO have 100% of the hardware onboard to turn satellite telemetry into latitude/longitude/altitude coordinates, but the underlying software fails without realtime network connectivity anyway because it still tries to involve a server somewhere for some reason.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] baiatul:
Look, this is what happens to me and I think it's a bug.

When I turn off GPS for a while, like for 12 hours, and then I turn it on, I still see the "Location" icon crossed out. At first I didn't know what was going on. I thought it was the GPS icon, but it wasn't, it was the location services being turned off.

So I reproduced it several times and this is what happens. When you turn off GPS for a while, the location setting will be turned off also, and it will remain off even after you turn on the GPS again. Which IS A BUG. That's not an expected behavior. So you may be right.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phobos512:
My experience doesn't mirror that at all. When I turn GPS on (which I am impressed to say has it finding satellites many times faster than my old HTC Fuze) the location disabled icon changes almost immediately. I saw this a lot over last weekend when I was doing a lot of phone based navigation.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] baiatul:
Yes, I forgot, I'm in NY, and in Manhattan very strange things happen when you go in and out the subway with signal and no signal several times a day for periods of time from minutes to an hour.

Many programs that are expected to work crash when there is no signal. Or when you run applications in the subway with no signal, the gadget freezes sometimes. Maybe this GPS thing is also one of those glitches. Maybe it's a combination of turning on or off the GPS, and then the loss of signal for a while. It still happens to me, but I got used: every time I turn back on the GPS after being disabled for MANY HOURS (12? 24?), I have to turn back on the Location setting.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pixelpop:
I turned off network location services for one simple reason....using it caused my location to off by at least 1/2 mile. So it seemed pretty useless to me.
