[myTouch 4G Android Development] shlongwoodian:
Good morning Faux,

I installed Version 0.8.5 Stock Voltage #96 yesterday - first time I've flashed one of your kernels. I've been running Ice Glacier v1.1.4 with Gorilla's v05 kernel since 1.1.4 came out.

Flashing went without issue (wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, flash, reboot). I even powered-down as suggested after the first boot and all looked just perfect. I set my Governor to 'smartass' and have it between 368 MHz and 1401 MHz.

I tested WiFi, camera, etc. - the usual suspects. All worked just fine. Before I went to bed, I checked my text messages via the native Messages app. I noticed all of my icons/avatars were missing. No big deal, I've seen this once before, but it got my attention. I launched the Facebook app (the normal Facebook app from the Market) and it was just fine - didn't have to log in to Facebook again, etc. I then viewed Facebook via Facebook for MyTouch and all was well - e.g. didn't have to re-log in, etc. My Facebook avatars were showing in my normal contacts list, but not in Messages. Again, not too worried as I've seen this once before. Here's where things got interesting...

I went to Accounts & Sync and found that my Facebook account was missing/gone. It was/is there in my nandroid/backup prior to flashing this kernel, but I figured hey, it's new, I had to wipe Dalvik (even though I've wiped that a ton of times before and never lost Facebook account, etc.) and maybe this is just "normal" behavior. I clicked 'Add Account' and selected Facebook - nothing happened/dead air. I can add other accounts without issue - e.g. Flickr - but I can't add Facebook again. Facebook for MyTouch is still there, syncing just fine.

I went to Applications and cleared Data for Facebook. I went back to Accounts & Sync and tried to add a Facebook account. This time it let me and I was prompted to log in to Facebook - all seemed like it was going in the right direction. Once I added the account and went back to verify that it appeared in Accounts & Sync, I found that the Facebook account still does not appear in my list of Accounts. If I try to add it again, same thing - dead-air/nothing.

I then removed my Facebook for MyTouch account and re-added it. This went without issue and it brought my Facebook avatars back to my Messages (which let's make note here: Removing the Facebook for MyTouch account and re-adding it is what brought my avatars back).

Everything appears to be working just fine, other than my Facebook account is gone from the Accounts & Sync list and I can't re-add it. If I delete Data for the app, it lets me re-add it to Accounts & Sync, but then it doesn't appear in the Accounts & Sync list again.

If I revert back to my nandroid/backup just prior to flashing the Version 0.8.5 Stock Voltage #96 kernel, my Facebook account is there, of course. This is not a show-stopper for me, but it's definitely reproducible on my end.

This is a dead-simple flash, Faux - there aren't many steps to mess up.

Info:

- Ice Glacier v1.1.4 (previously with Gorilla's 'stock' v05 kernel)

- Flashed Version 0.8.5 Stock Voltage #96

- SetCPU profile between 368 and 1401 w/ Smartass governor (Power Profiles currently disabled so I can see how the new Smartass treats my battery)

This really is silky smooth - it's insane, I love it. Let me know if you need any additional details or if the above just isn't the way you'd like an issue to be described. I know it's just Facebook, again, not going to die over it, but it's definitely a change in behavior and it's definitely a change I experienced after flashing this kernel.
