Facebook and Gmail sync issues.

I have looked all over the place for this and every solution I found...well...it didn't work. I didn't have this issue with 2.5.2 so I'm not sure what the issue is now....maybe I'm over looking something. Hopefully I can explain this properly.

When I updated to Vanilla 3.0, I did a fresh wipe. Imported contacts through gmail and sync'd up. Then got the Social Networking zip from the Rom Manager and installed that, logged into FB through FB for HTC and hit sync. The issue is....I'm not getting all of my FB contacts to show up. When I go into People and then click the globe and select FB Directory, it's only showing me 884 out of 892 contacts. I have double checked and there are contacts that are definitely not showing up that are on my main FB page. I have tried to refresh and nothing changes.

My other issue is Gmail. It's constantly staying sync'd. Even when I'm not making changes to anything. It killed my battery today with it staying sync'd all day long. I have roughly 1500 contacts in my gmail but it never took all day to finish syncing. I have tried everything (except a fresh wipe again...ugh).

Any solutions/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Anyone else noticed YouTube app is gone and are unable to watch YouTube online? I could care less about the app however not being able to view from browser seems to be a problem . Any fixes?

Update on Facebook/Gmail issue:

Ok so I decided to start over from scratch. Here are my steps:

Went and cleared data in FB Sense and Friend Stream.

Went to FB on my Mac and removed Droid FB Apps.

Literally started fresh all over again.

Went through the normal steps of setting up FB again and all of a sudden...phone locked up...reset...went into a boot loop. Did a battery pull and now have to start all over again because FB keeps Force Closing. As far as Gmail, it still continues to stay syncing this entire time.

I'm really at a lose here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
What does your logcat say when it force closes? can you post it to pastebin.com and link it here?

I did discover a fix for the YouTube mobile site not working. I will have to test for side-effects before posting the fix.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nomsy79:
Where would I find the logcat?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nimbus79:
Absolutely love SR ROMS!

Currently using Vanilla 3.0 RC2..

I did have a couple questions though.

1) I noticed the music app / widget doesn't "see" my music on the internal phone storage. Any way to fix this?

2) I really like the Htc People widget and Calendar widget. Since this is based off the SENSE rom is there enough of the framework remaining to simply drop the apk's and they will work or is there more to it?

Thanks for all the hard work ihtfp69.. out of all the roms I've tried I keep coming back to yours. I'll see to it a donation makes it's way to you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Connect your phone through usb, open a command prompt and type this in. It will start a capture of the log.

adb shell
logcat > /mnt/sdcard/log.txt

Then try and reproduce the force close. After you see the force close, break the capture by pressing ctrl+c. The output will be on the root of your sdcard in log.txt.

I recommend using LauncherPro Plus which has very similar widgets. Otherwise, try my other Sense ROM.

I found a minor bug when performing Google voice actions to send a text. After it formats what you spoke into a message if you hit the mic button to speak more words into the message the application force closes and you loose the message. No big deal but definitely one that could fall through the cracks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nomsy79:
Well it seems like it fixed itself. I rebooted quickly and was able to get Facebook to not FC, but I'm still having issues with it syncing incorrectly. Missing several contacts from FB. Gmail sync is still syncing...I feel like it's stuck or something. My battery has been beaten worse than a red headed step child by his drunk uncle.

I exported my main contacts from Gmail to a vCard and I'm going to try and Import the card directly to the phone. Maybe it's Gmail? I really don't know.

This rom kicks ass. Totally stable for me so far. I want to try out a different kernel with this also. What is working well for everyone. I was thinking kingklick bfs # 1 or# 2, but don't really know the difference in them. Also, do these kernels install through recovery like hydras? Is there a link to the stock kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Yeah, I have a fix for that. Flash this and let me know if it works.

I noticed that Rom Manager has some status bar themes available for download for older versions of SR, any plans to make some for 3.0? Mostly, I just want a black status bar without Sense.

anyway, thanks for the awesome mod.

I'm using one of them on 3.0 RC2 and haven't had any problems yet... I also did a nandroid backup before trying it just in case :)

Unable to flash new Notification Bar & Boot Animation

I keep trying to install the 2D+5 notification bar & the Nexus boot animation, but I can't get them to install.

I had similar problems installing the Goodies 2.2 with my ROM Manager. It was fine before, but it started acting up with this build - it wouldn't reboot into recovery. I reflashed ClockworkMod - it is on 2.5.0.5 but that didn't fix it.

What I had to do to install the 2.2 Goodies was to manually reboot into Recovery. Then, Recovery recognized the files on its own and installed all the Addons / Goodies.

Now, that no longer happens with the notification bar and the boot animation. I also downloaded a new boot animation but that didn't install either. When I go into Recovery manually, it doesn't recognize any downloaded files so there's nothing to update.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE: okay, I just realized that the Notification Bar was ONLY for SkyRaider 2.5.2 and previous versions. As far as why I can't load any of the Boot Animations, I'm not sure...I had the Nexus animation when I was on 2.5.2.

IN ADDITION TO THE PROBLEMS MENTIONED ABOVE, SINCE LOADING THIS BUILD, I"VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ROM MANAGER:

- it won't go into Recovery on its own

- when I try to fix permissions, I get "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commans!"

- yet it says that is gets SuperUser permissions just fine and when I go to SuperUser, ROM MAnager is enabled. No clue what's going on.

- since my ROM Manager won't reboot, the message says that the binary might be broken. I cleared my download cache, I even downgraded to 2.5.0.0 ClockworkMod recovery, but that didn't solve it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spyd3r05:
in SU app try deleting the line for rom manager and re-enable the permission..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Uninstall and reinstall Rom Manager to fix your problem. The notification bars may work; however, I did not test them. If you read the OP, it clearly states you cannot run fix_permissions from Rom Manger. Run it through a terminal app or adb. Just type 'fix_permissions'.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stlandroidfan:
Unfortunately, that didn't fix it. ROM Manager still won't even go into recovery...I was hoping this simple fix would do it.

I turned USB debugging off and that didn't fix it...I usually keep it on. I didn't think that would do anything but it was worth a shot.

Been having issues with mms/sms app force closing. Just started happening today. Whenever I send the text, it says Sorry, the application blah blah blah...then it force closes. It's not all the time, but it is pretty frequent. Anyone else having this issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] estat:
Awesome rom.

One bug - turning off auto-rotate screen does not prevent rotation while in the launcher/home menu. It turns off auto-rotation in apps, but not the launcher. Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

Also, now the notification text for musicmod is red, but the headphone connection icon in the white notification bar is still almost translucent. Not really a big deal, and still the best rom out there IMO.

I was "afraid" of Vanilla

At first, I was "afraid" of the Vanilla version because there are things in the Sense version that I wasn't willing to give up, namely, the HTC People and Calendar. But I gave it a try anyway. "People" is great because you can "link" contacts with Facebook, etc. Well, much to my surprise, Skyraider's version actually has the HTC people app in it! I think I may be hooked on Vanilla now! I've been using Launcher Pro Plus for a couple of weeks now which has helped me further reduce my need on Sense. Now, between that and "People" in SR's Vanilla version, I think I just might stay.

Here's one issue with People that I found: when opening Company Directory, it force closes immediately. I am, however, able to access the directory through Touchdown, but I sometimes like to do it through People. Please FIX!

Beyond that, I've found no other issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayhammy:
I'm confused: I thought the Kings kernels were only for Sense ROMs, not Vanilla? Can anyone explain that? I loved those kernels on SR's Sense ROMs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kappo9000:
We use domino (booooo), so we had to use touchdown. I figured out how to make the stock activesync pick the exact url on the traveler server for us, but it FCs as well. Looking up the company directory worked fine until I installed touchdown. I figured out that if I copied the whole directory down to the phone (it's an option in TD - under copy contacts to phone) it stopped FCing. Maybe that will help for you? The stock activesync is pretty terrible, to be honest.

It crashes like this not just on SR, it happens even on an unrooted/stock phone for us.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayhammy:
Actually, what worked was installing the Mail Fix option in ROM manager. Now that Mail is installed, I can open up company directory in there as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayhammy:
One other issue similar to the one I had on SR Sense 3.1 RC3: m.youtube.com says "sorry, the video cannot be played."

I downloaded vanilla and it was great except when I tried to play a video on the web using flash it always exited out. When I reverted back to sense it does not have a problem playing flash. Any ideas? Is this a known bug?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
This is a problem with overclocking.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayhammy:
But it's a Sense update 3.1. Will that work on Vanilla?

And can I flash Kingslick kernels on Vanilla? I thought they didn't work on Vanilla, but I see that some people in this thread flashed those kernels.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zipkicker:
no, this rom DOES NOT include kings kernel, it comes with the stock htc kernel

seriously, if people would search and read through things correctly, this thread wouldnt get so big so quickly...

further, if you DID search, and the fix didnt help, you should include that in your comment, that way you dont get 3 or 4 responses to search.

These couple steps would seriously help ihtfp find bugs and fixes that do or do not work...

ps...this rom rocks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayhammy:
I did search--I always do. That's why it's confusing. Kingskernel himself says only on Sense. But where the confusion is lies in this thread where people have stated that they've installed Kingskernel on the SR Vanilla version. That conflicts with Kingskernel himself. I'm very well aware that SR ROM vanilla does not INCLUDE that kernel and comes with the HTC kernel.

Please, no lectures on searching anymore.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Hah, I get confused sometimes. :) There is a patch I posted a couple pages back. That is the unofficial upgrade for Vanilla right now.

EDIT: I lied. The update fixes issues if ppl are having problems with voice search or hulu/flash. The fix for YouTube requires breaking Pandora. So, its your call. Everyone let me know if YouTube's mobile site is that important to you.

I didn't think you could use Kingkernels on Vanilla, but I see that some of you have installed BFS#2 kernel. Are you having issues? Why is it OK on Skyraider's VAnilla ROM and not others?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Doctor Butts:
I'm probably in the minority here but I prefer using Google's YouTube app over running Youtube in the browser.

I installed bfs1 on SR Vanilla RC2 and it ran like crap. I restored a nandroid backup and then I switched to bfs2 and it runs a lot better.

You CAN run king kernel on Vanilla SR. The reason is that although much of sense is taken out from a UI and bloatware perspective, it still has the sense core dependencies, which kingskernel relies on. Please correct me if I'm wrong, ihtfp69.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] upther:
I'd rather have Pandora. The Youtube app works fine for me.

This ROM is based off the Sense release, it has just had the majority of Sense stripped from it. That's why Kings kernels work on it. They won't work on a true vanilla AOSP build like Cyanogen, Ruby, and IncredibleDoes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayhammy:
Thanks! That's the answer I was looking for!

If you do reflash the rom, check to see that your card works first before flashing a kernel. Then try flashing the bfs #2 kernel and see if you're card works after that. Make sure debugging is on.
