Just trying out Ruby for the first time. I'm very impressed. It looks just like CM but seems much more stable at the moment. I know people must get sick of this question, but how do I get my Facebook contact pictures to show up in my Gmail contacts?

I'm logged into Facebook with Settings set to Sync to Existing Contacts, I've got Facebook added under Accounts, but I only see my Gmail contact pictures. I can't get the ones from Facebook to sync.

Am I doing some wrong? Is there a trick to it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikeymop:
When you sign into the official facebook app, it'll give you the option to sync facebook contact info with your phone contacts.

If you do not see the facebook picture, go to edit the contact and hit menu, join. It will show suggestions including similiar facebook names.

If you already have a picture on your google contact but want the facebook picture instead. Go to edit the contact, scroll down... it'll keep going to another 'page' with the facebook info. You should see the facebook picture, tap it and click use this picture. Now the contact card has a facebook picture istead of the google one. Sadly you'll have to do this for each contact as Facebook doesn't automatically set the Facebook picture as default like Sense did.

I just went and checked, it's there for me. Perhaps it comes up after a restart because I definitely dont remember seeing it on first boot.

Facebook Contact Sync w/ Launcher Pro

Ok, thanks for the help. Now I get it. And that worked great, except.... Launcher Pro won't use the Facebook contact picture in any of it's widgets. It's showing a placeholder instead of the Facebook picture OR the Gmail contact picture in the People Widget (also Messaging). Ggggrrrrrrr......

Quick semi-off-topic question: where is the default wallpaper for Ruby, the blue water with the rocks and land coming out of it? It's a great wallpaper, but I don't know where the actual file is in the filesystem.

Thanks,

Several hours into Ruby 1.1.4 and I'm loving it. With the RIL patch I'm yet to have a random reboot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fingertips:
Was there ever any word in the 1.1.1 topic (or anywhere for that matter) about the LED staying lit instead of blinking and if that was going to be fixed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Is still the same issue with all Vanilla ROMs. Ruby, CM6 and ShadowROM have a fixed light. I tried the last nightly yesterday/today and it still fixed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trombone dixie:
I'm having trouble downloading apps in the market. Anyone else having these issues?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
During the last 3 days I've been switching back and forth between Ruby, ShadowROM and CM6, plus multiple kernels. I'm experiencing what you are describing with all setups so I think it's a Market issue and not something wrong with the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ColePatrol:
Has anyone else had the issue when the screen dims (i.e. noticed best with a white website within the browser) it flickers a blueish hue at the bottom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trombone dixie:
Anyone using a special kernel for this ROM to help with battery life? I'm being eaten alive here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Are you using the stock theme? Maybe the theme messed something. Just throwing out some ideas. I think I read in one of their threads that we should wipe Dalvik before flashing the themes. I don't use the browser that much (I'm an RSS feed person), so can't provide much feedback. The few times I've used the browser I have not experienced any flickering.

Also, did you flashed the Bluetooth fix? Someone in the CM6 thread mentioned that the patch messed up some things. I've only installed on my phone 1.1.4+RIL update+Samsung theme.

I don't have any issues with the stock kernel. I think it behaves about the same as the stock Sense 2.2. Are you using the performance tweaks from GEM settings? I don't use those settings. Instead I use setCPU and do the scaling through that app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
I'm going to have to agree with Androidnite, I'm getting very respectable battery life with the stock kernel. Did you wipe battery stats in recovery?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trombone dixie:
I don't know how to wipe battery stats in recovery.

my phone seems to be showing low signal a lot of the times and a lot of the time it doesnt have 3G only has 1X..

any possible fixes
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
Does the 1x happen when you're texting? If so, it's supposed to. will revert from 3g...

jc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egobuster1:
no i can jsut turn my phone on and itll be at 1x then maybe split second go to 3G and it seems to happen a lot when i opne the browser the 3G will go away plus i have low signal bars like all the time

ive tried doing a *22899 a couple times and it hasnt helped any
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egobuster1:
maybe its radio related..what radio are people running and have good service connection with
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikeymop:
My battery life was meh, in the beginning. I went into GEM settings and turned off overclocking. Now I get stellar battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dsoto87:
Seriously...after overclocking for so long I never really saw any actual performance gains. Yes my quadrant scores were a lot higher, but real life usability didnt seem to improve. The difference in use between 1ghz and 1.13/15 seems minimal. Where you can see a change though is battery life.

Now Im back to sense roms using the new HTC kernel and its limited to 1ghz. Like I said before: games dont seem to be running any less smooth, apps arent opening up any less quickly, but battery life is through the roof.

If for some reason I switch to a kernel that can be overclocked, Ill still be sticking with the stock speed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egobuster1:
I switched to the 2.05 radio and problem still seems to be there with low signal and sketchy 3g service
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Did you try the RIL update...its in the OP. It worked for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
I concur with the installation of the RIL as reducing or eliminating the problem with my Ruby ROM.

jc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fingertips:
What? That's totally not true for me. I know for a fact that I had a blinking LED on CM6. Can't remember for sure about Shadow, but I used CM6 over Ruby for a good while specifically because of the blinking LED.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I have an SLCD Dinc, so not sure if its just for the devices with the new screen. I can't install CM6 or ShadowROM with their stock kernel. I guess there might still be something wrong with the SLCD drivers, but I definitely get a solid LED with all 3 vanilla ROMs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cabal_:
Check Spare Parts for your running time. By default, bluetooth was causing my run time to be at 100%, leading to 10 hour battery life. Shutting it off put me at 24+ hours.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egobuster1:
Ya I applied it a couple times. Its just like my phone doesn't get very good service. I don't know its weird
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pmdied:
Any word on a blinking led fix?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
Are you by chance in a former/current Alltel service area? There is a hybrid PRL available that improved my signal significantly...ymmv.

jc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egobuster1:
no its nto former alltel area. ill keep a eye on it more when im out and about because where i really notice it is in my house and maybe i just dont get good service inside for my 3G
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trombone dixie:
I've cleared battery stats and disabled overclock in GEM Settings and my battery is still being eaten alive. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Can you provide more info:

1) what apps you have with auto sync

2) kernel

3) what apps have you removed with the adb shell (Example: moved from system/app to system/app.disabled(

4) did you installed a theme: 1.1.1 themes are not guaranteed to work in 1.1.4. You have to installed themes re-made for 1.1.4.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikeymop:
I get occassional random reboots in messenger, it puts me to the Ruby screen and never finishes rebooting. I had to pull hte battery three times.

I moved to CM 6.1 today. I have high hopes for hte next major Ruby release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
By messenger you mean the text messaging app?

I've been running like 4 different roms this week LOL I find this rom more stable than the other vanilla roms, so I'm also looking forward to the next ruby release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikeymop:
Yea, the text app. After a while, I would open at thread and the phone would lock up and go to the Ruby screen. The four menu buttons would light up right away (like when the phone is just about to load the OS when booting) and would sit there for a long time. I've left it for at most 45 minutes the last time it happened, and I hit the power button thinking it would help and hte Red Ruby actually turned a yellow tint it was very freaky. I pulled the battery and it booted fine like nothing happened.

i didn't wipe the battery stats when i installled the ROM. i did it after and i didn't do it when my battery was fully charged either. could this be the issue? i'm going to try doing a fresh install of the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egobuster1:
what kind of battery life are you getting.

whats the screen birghtness set

do you use haptic feedback on keyboard

bluetooth turned on

how often is your email syncing

some things to check on
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ianxcom:
Has anyone ripped the kernel out of this yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Amen to that!!! :D

Normally you should wipe the battery stats after a full "charge bump cycle": 1) Charge battery 'til green led (while on) 2) Turn phone off while plug and let the LED go green again 3) while connected go into recovery and wipe stats 4) turn phone on and wait til it reaches home screen before pulling out the outlet plug

trombone dixie, the above are all good points to check. At the very least you should have the phone on auto-brightness. The powercontrol is misleading sometimes..make sure the phone is not at full brightness setting. I only turn on bluetooth when I needed for a phone call and that rarely happens.

Special effects is another one; besides the haptic feedback I disabled all window transitions an effects. However, I don't see this as a very big battery drainer. Also make sure you don't have the "performance" settings enabled in GEM settings. Run it stock for a day or 2 and see how it goes. Does the phone doesn't even last 8-12 hours with light usage?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tanknspank:
Hmm, just noticed this thread while looking for info for my brothers Incredible...

Glad to see you guys are enjoying 1.1.4 :p

Cvpcs is a very busy busy man with school. Development has been VERY minimal, so nothing has changed since 1.1.4. Cvpcs says, though, that after this halloween weekend, he will be back to work on CCRoms and its underlying supported phones.

The way things have been working prior is that cvpcs was working exclusively on Obsidian (Sapphire and AOSP for the Droid X, and later for the Droid 2). After a long standstill on a few bugs (soft reboots on sleep, no sound through ear peace), he has decided to release what he has in hopes that someone can help him finish up the lingering bugs and get it out of the way. Also, instead of working exclusively on Obsidian when he gets back, he will be working on getting Sapphire and Ruby (the only two currently stable versions) back up to speed with new updates, features, and bug fixes. Expect things to get back going around next week.

If you guys have any questions with problems about the rom, feel free to drop by #cvpcs on freenode. I am usually around to try my best to help (though I don't have an incredible). If I'm not around, there are usually great people who are that would be willing to help. Either way, I'm glad you guys are enjoying this. Things seem to have died down over on the Sapphire side of things :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
I hope in the next release this could be fixed...

If I'm listening to music and get a call I have to naturally, unplug my headphones after I accept the call. Problem is, once the call ends the music continues playing from the external speaker from where I left off instead of staying paused. Had that happen to me at work...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
That has happened to me with other roms too, so its not Ruby specific. We can't file bug on test versions so if you experienced it on 1.1.1 I encourage you to file a bug on their website ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanhassars:
I can't get Skype to open on this rom. Anybody else having this issue? Every time I try to run it it gets to the sign in screen and then just closes, not even a force close, it just disappears.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trombone dixie:
screen brightness is set to auto.

haptic feedback is turned off.

never use bluetooth, but will when i move to california.

e-mail is set to auto-sync.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dhaines:
It may just be me, but it seems like Ruby's auto-dimming of the screen is a bit off, at least in 1.1.4. I have the minimum brightness level set to the minimum (and have had it set to the maximum) and it never seems to go any dimmer than the middle brightness you get with the power control widget.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Are you using the widget or just the auto setting from Display setting's? I noticed that if I use the widget, you have to make sure that when you toggle through the settings that one of them is actually showing the "A" for auto. If you go to GEM settings you can configure the power widget in numerous ways and, if I remember correctly, some of those ways exclude the Auto (For example, only allow 25/50/100). Double check that just in case...auto dim was working fine for me.

Looks like version 2.0 for the gem series (Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald) is underway. He gave an ETA of 2 weeks on twitter.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I feel the same way. Of all AOSP ROMs this one seems the most stable. It might not have as many features, but I feel it is more reliable.

That is really weird. I'm using 1.1.4 with the stock kernel and I can definitely tell the difference between auto brightness and the other 2 brightness settings. I also have the min brightness set to Level 2.

Awesome!!!! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
Which one is the ubuntu kernel, may I ask?

tia,

jc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
It does change, but I expect when the setting is at 2 for the brightness in low light to be somewhere around having it set to off on the widget. To me 2, or any other setting for that matter looks like the lowest setting when set to on. If that makes sense, it's too early here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
I wish there was a place to request feature that you could send directly to the developer…

Here’s a short list of things I’d like to see:

Launcher2.apk seems to not be running at full strength, not sure if it needs to be re-optimized but compared to launcher pro, it’s very laggy when swiping across screens.

Live wallpapers need some tweaking too. Most, if not all run chug on my device and because of that I keeps me from using some of the live wallpapers I love. (I’m a little jealous that my dad and sisters new Galaxy S phones run live wallpaper so smoothly, and they are still on 2.1!)

Defiantly would like to see the power control options in the notification bar like what I believe Cyanogen mod has, and the Galaxy S.

Some said the mms app has a black/white option, I don’t see that in ruby, would love to have the black background text message app, or at least the option to switch between white and black.

Not sure if this is a bug or what, but emails don’t seem to stay on the phone. Neither the stock email app nor K-9 mail are able to keep the messages in my inbox. This can be a bummer if you are relying on those messages.

Maybe some apps, like news and weather, calculator and music can be moved in a place where they can be uninstalled.

I seem to be having issues with Bluetooth and my PC, I like to BT apps but for some reason it always fails when I send something to my device. Pairing is fine, it’s just sending stuff. I’m also using the BT fix.

Maybe increase the dpi or something for assigning contact photos. Even when I select a picture I took the caller ID shows a blurry photo when someone calls, it’s even worse when you use a facebook photo.

I think that’s all for now, great work on this rom guys. Put up a donate link!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Don't know what to tell you...on my phone I can tell the difference between DIM (fully off) and Auto :confused:

Some feedback:

1) You can file for bugs in their home page (google CC ROMs). I don't want for Ruby to be as buggy/unstable as CM. Hopefully in the 2.0 release they'll add the Power Controls. In my opinion that is not a deal breaker, you can use the power control widget for now.

2) There is nothing wrong with ADW.Launcher. The problem is that the stock version of ADW that comes with Ruby has very limited options. If you go to the market you can upgrade to the latest version (1.2). In there you can change the speed when toggling between homescreens and get rid of the animations when opening the App Drawer. Seriously, I tried both LauncherPro and ADW and I find ADW a lot speedier. You can either upgrade to 1.2 from the market or do the following (as I did):

a) Mount /system in clockworkMod

b) in a terminal type the following:

./adb push <your location of the pak in your computer> /system/app

mkdir app.disabled

mv system/app/Launcher2.pal system/app.disabled

c) Reboot phone

After you upgrade (or do as above) you will get a lot of settings that will let you change the response/speed of the launcher. Again, the ADW that comes with Ruby is very limited. Once you try the new version you will feel different about ADW. It might not have the "cute" icons from LauncherPro, but I find it speedier.

3) Regarding the black vs white color for MMS, I did noticed that going from 1.1.1 to 1.1.4 they removed the black option. Maybe we can request to re-add the option for 2.0

4) Can't provide feedback on Email or K9, I only use Gmail

5) Regarding the apps, that is the same of every ROM. I've tried almost all of them and I never found a single ROM that has only those apps I need, I always end up removing stuff. Yes, even with CM6.

6) The thing about the blurry pics in the dialer (like when someone calls) is present in all ROMs including stock HTC and CM6.

7) You can go to CC ROMs for donations..I think :)

Cheers!!!

EDIT:

Is the stock kernel that comes with Ruby. If I remember correctly, they took the source code and made it work with their ROM.

I am well aware of the "A" setting on the power widget, and it still does not get any dimmer than approximately the middle brightness. As for the configuration of the widget under Settings, I think you are not remembering correctly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I would assume you flash that after installation. The stock one is ubuntu; both 1.1.1 and 1.1.4

You are correct. I've tried too many ROMS the past week. Cyanogen and ShadowROM let you customize how many settings you want for the brigthness in the powercontrol widget. Not sure why autodim doesn't work for everyone. For me I can definitely tell the difference between Dim, Auto, and the other higher brightness levels.

Here you go:

Make sure you downloaded the Gapps specific for 1.1.4. Installation order is 1)Ruby, 2)Gapps, 3)Theme (not sure if it's really needed, but I always wipe Dalvik before flashing the theme zip file). I've been using the Galaxy S theme for some time without issues.

mp3sum, can you put the above link in the OP?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trombone dixie:
i've been running 1.1.4 for a while now. do i need to do a complete fresh install or can i just dive right into the themes? i've already done steps one and two in the proper order.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
You don't need to re-do the install. I'll suggest you do the following:

1) Do a nandroid backup

2) Wipe Dalvik cache

3) Flash the *.zip file for the theme you like

4) Reboot.

You should not experience any issues, if all you've done to your phone (after Ruby install) is installing apps and using the phone as you regularly would. Only if you have modified ROM files then I would be cautious. However, just to be safe do a nandroid backup before proceeding ;)
