No, the file is not in your ROM. It is in the google 2.2.1 add-on (i.e. the file gapps-hdpi-FRF91-UP-signed.zip), you will find it in the /system/app folder inside the zip, together with other three files not in the official ROM: kickback.apk, soundback.apk, talkback.apk.

As a proof, check your vanilla ROM at menu/settings/accessibility, and will find no accessibility services installed. However, after installing the update, KickBack, SoundBack and TalkBack are there. If, however, these three are android services and I understand them being in a Google add-on, I do not understand why amazon MP3 is there.

Please double check this hypothesis of mine. If I am right, the way to remove the amazon file is through adb commands.

Thank you, Horia

I always do a full-wipe before installing a new ROM. I had no problem with full-wipe, then flash the ROM, reboot, flash gmail stuff. If however you have a problem, the fact that you have no nandroid backup is not actually a problem. You need as a working minimum two things:

- a google account sync for contacts

- an applications backup with Titanium, MyBackupPro or otherwise

Anything else, in my opinion, is not actually a serious loss, as you have to redo the system config by hand, without a restore anyway.

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Ahh..OK ;)

I think this is because the package is made for Google android (no sense) eg the nightly Cyanogenmod 6...with other drivers and services installed...

So the package is not 100% comaptible with a sense rom..I did not tested because i have not the time for it...will look into it if i have time

edit: have changed the name on post 3 to google apps and made a link for G Mail 2.2.1

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] cruzzmz:
hi

i cannot update the gmail .. i have use astro file manager and after applying update, the file failed to install

any advice?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
what did you with astro ? What update..? and which file failed to install..?
[Desire Android Development] cruzzmz:
using astro i can only do update with the gmail.apk, after executing update, the error message that i got is file cannot install :(
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
one moment ;)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Can you try this update..It contain the new G Mail 2.2.1

edit: Sorry ....now
[Desire Android Development] ramyrakan:
can you please reupload the room file on RS or Multiupload bcoz 4Shared is sucks
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I think i can but i only can do it over the night...because if i upload my internet browsing speed goes down to a 56 k modem..you know ;)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] ramyrakan:
ok , i think i can wait :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
you must flash this update ;)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Have test the update (flash) myself and it work ;) no errors and version 2.2.1

edit: updated post 3 with it
[Desire Android Development] skeptic1007:
There is still a problem with the missing keyboard issue during calls i have raised before. The setup is: Alex ROM with google pack, with expresso mod and battery circle mod. Originally, after the full install and restore, when having a call, the screen looks like HTC, with the keyboard button on bottom left. Last night, after removing the three *talk and amazon mp3 applications, playing a bit with voice dial, and after a series of Market applications install / uninstall, I noticed that the screen during calls has changed into what may be the Android original screen, with keyboard button on the bottom right side, and no keyboard raised here.

OK: the fast solution is to install the android keyboard. But my problem is different: I wish to understand what is happening and who is altering the settings at this level. I have done a full-wipe and fresh reflash, and am trying this time a conservative setting: only gmail 2.2.1 and the battery circle mod. Will continue to verify what is happening. A certain app creates some trouble around here.

I mention that my restores are clean: I use Titanium backup, and restore my apps only (checking line by line and removing apps not originally installed by me) and only green settings, i.e. bookmarks, sms, calllog, home screen, etc.

Regards, Horia
[Desire Android Development] skeptic1007:
As another idea, all this may be a simple coincidence. I have played as well this time (but not the first time) with a dialer replacement (Dialer One). Could this leave something behind at the moment of uninstall to actually produce an android dial screen while in call? Or I am speaking nonsense here?

Horia
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I´m still sure it´s something that you installed...(also i think you said it´s working..?) (mine work)

Please make a full wipe and did not flash the google app´s and the expresso mod...see if it work...!?! if work...restore backup...restart the phone and check if all work...try this expresso mod from pinky rom:

http://pinky.netlab.cz/ftp/themes/blackespressomod_signed.zip

I saw this in the past...because i try android with my Htc polaris and there was a call delay..and with this it does not happen...but i don´t install it on a htc version...if i have time i will play a bit :)
[Desire Android Development] skeptic1007:
Yes, it WAS working when i tested it. So, something happened afterwards: a different application, when run, might have compromised something there.

Yes, my current testing setup is clean: only gmail (and not google apps) and circle mod. Will try a different expresso after i am ruling out other causes. Now it is working correctly. I have to continue playing until i break it again. :)

Another possibility is that Voice Dialer from android is mixing with HTC.

Thanks for your feed-back, Horia
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
let me know if you found the thing that it break ;)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thanks :)

Very intersting fact...please can you tell me what ext you maked with amonra...?

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
mmhh...very interesting...i have made it with the cd and also no problem...maybe its how to make the ext....i delete all partitions (not resize) and make a fat32 at first (left 1gb) the free 1gb i make now as ext3 (allign to mb) and apply all

But fine that it runs now on your phone :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:

[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:

Ok, I tried with 4 different kernels, another radio version, but sadly, not working. I go back to 1.8. ;) Maybe later I will try another partition method.
[Desire Android Development] kibbsnk:

[Desire Android Development] takabriga:
Replacing Kernel

Hello Alex, I changed the kernel of your rom, but the settings always remain the same CPU as a set of default that is 1113 mhz max 245 min ondemand .... at this point I would go back to your original kernel 2.0 by alex but I do not know where to download it , you could let me have? thanks and best wishes for many happy holidays.:p
[Desire Android Development] mrandresson:
Tried updating to V2.0 but the phone keeps rebooting just before it should show the "enter pin to unlock" screen. So the phone reboots after the quietly brilliant screen disappears and the sense background and slider show up for a few seconds.

Tried repartitioning with gparted and with fdisk (first 3Gb fat32, second 1Gb ext3), both resizing and removing and recreating partitions. Had the same problem with 1.9 yesterday.
[Desire Android Development] st_voss:
Stuck in boot loop also

Hi folks,

I have to report that I'm also stuck in a boot loop.

I tried two different partitoners: parted, ROM Manager

The partitions created with parted look like this:

root@solo:# parted /dev/sdb print
Modell: Generic STORAGE DEVICE (scsi)
Festplatte /dev/sdb: 16,0GB
Sektorgröße (logisch/physisch): 512B/512B
Partitionstabelle: msdos

Anzahl Beginn Ende Größe Typ Dateisystem Flags
1 16,4kB 14,0GB 14,0GB primary fat32 lba
2 14,0GB 16,0GB 2039MB primary ext3

The partitions created with ROM Manager look like this:

root@solo:~# parted /dev/sdb print
Modell: Generic STORAGE DEVICE (scsi)
Festplatte /dev/sdb: 16,0GB
Sektorgröße (logisch/physisch): 512B/512B
Partitionstabelle: msdos

Anzahl Beginn Ende Größe Typ Dateisystem Flags
1 512B 15,5GB 15,5GB primary fat32 lba
2 15,5GB 16,0GB 512MB primary ext3

One can see that the big fat32 partitions start at different positions but both install attempts end in a boot loop.

Is a certain script from inside the ROM executed on the first boot?

Regards,

Stefan
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Set the option for enable on boot...and it will stay on the settings you enter

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Hello

I dont have an idea why on some phones it boot well and on some not....only it have to to with the sd card...read some posts back...there was a user with the same problem...and he formats the card with amonra...and now it works

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Can any user with bootloop on 2.0 data2sd test the normal a2sd+ version...and tell me if its also loop

I cant test it as i have no bootloop

Thanks in advance...Alex
[Desire Android Development] mrandresson:
Just tried to partition using amonra and reflash sadly with the same result. Phone boots, stays a few seconds in the screen with the sense background and slider and reboots.

Will try the app2sd+ tonight.
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
I just flash your v 2.0 with data2sd rom. And yes, it's faster than v 1.8.

I partitioned the sd with amon ra recovery, 1gb ext 4.

It works good on my device and also fast..

Thank you alex for your good work..
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thanks for give it a chance...but did yo see the post from swemoza...he do the same and it works...so what can it be...? What radio you have..?

And sd card and class

Maybe try ext4

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thanks for the positiv report... :) can i ask what radio you have...? And what sd card and class...

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
I'm using 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 Radio.

Edit: 8gb sd card class 6
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thanks for info :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Next question for all what recovery clockwork version you use...?
[Desire Android Development] mrandresson:
Just tried the a2sd+ version, no luck.

Tried updating my radio from 32.48.xxx to 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 and update my ext3 to ext4, still no luck.

Update:

More information about the phone:

HBOOT 0.80, S-ON

My sd-card is the one that came with the phone, SanDisk 4GB SDHC (class 2?)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I´m a bit clueless at the moment...all done the same steps and on some phones all is working very good and on some not :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::mad::mad::o:p

What on earth can it be...?

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] juniorxdb:
The 2.0 ROM works perfectly for me... fast and stable. I use 2 Gb Ext3 on 16 Gb Sd Card Class6 (Lexar). My actual radio is 32.49.... the last radio.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thanks for good report :)

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Maybe compile a list of working sd card models and non working. See if there is a common theme? From what I'm reading it's sd card related. Actually a quick way to determine, is another rom or even better roms using the same scripts? Can the users install those correctly? That way can rule out whether it's script or card related.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
You are right with the list but its also in the a2sd+ rom so it can't be the data2sd script...also it cant be the update script and also not system bin and x bin...there are different on the both roms...maybe a driver for sd card in 2.29...? If i have more time i flash other roms to compare...with kind regards...Alex...
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
i got an ext3 876MB but rom doesnt boot up.

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:

sorry for the problems...i don´t know why it cause problems on some phones....like...if you read the last posts

Hi!

I had yesterday v2.0 app2SD+ running, booted without problems (1GB ext3 at the end of my 8GB SD card). Then I tried Rom Manager and created a new ext partition (512MB) with a swap (32MB) behind it and after that I had a boot loop. No data / cache deleting helped, only to remove the swap.

Do all with a boot loop have a swap partition?

Today I decidet to swap to v1.4 HD Data2SD, it's great (and not part of this thread)!

Greetings!
[Desire Android Development] delbarta:

How to: partition sd card with Partet Magic live cd or gparted

Acording to this from a german forum its the best way :

habe ich ubuntu live cd (ist wohl die beste art), grosse fat32 als erstes und noch ein 1024mb ext3 part (kein bootloop)

mit dem windows tool (mini port.wizard) hat nicht geklappt, der macht immer ein 7mb grosses unpartitionierter bereich (bootloop)

------------------------------------------------------------

eng:

I (probably the best art) ubuntu live cd, big fat32 first part and another ext3 1024mb (no bootloop)

with the windows tool (mini port.wizard) did not work out, always makes a 7mb large unpartitioned space

(bootloop)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I needed the exact point when it comes back in Bootloop .....

the interesting thing about the whole is ... it boot complete up and you see the Lockscreen already ... this is very unusual for boot loops

Hi Alex,

Happy New Year!

My sd card with minitool partition wizard. There is no unpartitioned space:
[Desire Android Development] lkbfreak:
Bootloop too...

Hi there everyone! Happy NY!

I have a strange behavior with Alex-V 2.0 A2SD+ rom: flashed ok and when once botted with

sim that is pin protected

phone bootloops! When used with unprotected sim everything works fine.

BTW - rom is brilliant and works great except this problem :p
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
it makes on mine a 7mb unpartitioned space....anyway....before flash...please

disable the pin as workaround...and it boots fine :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Happy new year....yes you are right....a user from mobiletopia (german) says it bootloop if the sim locks...so i say can you try disable pin...and he says...yes boots fine.....so i know know what it is and can have a look to the problem....must be something in 2.29 will load a other 2.29 ruu to see if it solve the problem

So i say big thanks for this tip :) :)

Workararound for 2.0 (bootloop) --> disable pin (from sim card)

Exactly what radio version should we run? I have not touched my radio version since buying my phone back in April 2010, am I good to go? Flashing now to the latest HD version.
[Desire Android Development] lkbfreak:
Yes, it does work with pin disabled on sim. I also tried to leave it bootloop for a 15 minutes with pin enabled - sometimes it shows no service, and sometimes for a second shows sim locked:enter pin. Unfortunately it reboots again. If this minor bug could be repaired, Alex - you'll really have a fast, stable and great ROM!

All the best in new year!

(sorry I'm a rom noob :D)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I have the radio you quoted...the one from build 2.10 and runs fine for me...the one from 2.29 should also work :)

Alex-V 2.1 is up

Can you tell me a bit more about hibernation mod or some useful links ..?

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] lkbfreak:
Oh, the question was intended to you, cuz I tried sense HD rom and it has hibernation mod so was wandering is this mod applicable also to nonHD roms (like your v2). I saw it in your wiki under HTC Desire HD mods: "Add hibernation mod and notification recent apps like Droid Incredible Android Developers did ..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764787 "

Otherwise I have no other info on Hib Mode on normal sense roms.

Ok...can not patch this as update.zip....the thing was...i first made the a2sd+ rom...and checked adfree....than i maked the data2sd rom and thought it works also...because i only changed the script from a2sd+ to data2sd....

Made some changes in the rom now...data/app goes now to sdext and changed data/local/hosts to data/etc/hosts (the file for adfree) and now it goes well...

I loud it up overnight together with new hd rom....with kind regards...Alex
