I am using fission 2.4.3 ROM and i like the way it looks and all but is there a way to edit the Facebook syncd contacts like the factory Global contact list settings? it says facebook contact information is no editable on this device... am i missing soemthing? before the root and rom i syncd my contacts and was able to add numbers, emails and drag them onto the home tabs for shortcuts..
[Droid 2 Global General] Asphyx:
Welcome to the CLOUD!

Doesn't seem like such a great idea now does it? LOL

Here is what you do, it will require having or making a Yahoo Mail account but it will solve your problem.

If you use Outlook (like I do) it will be way more complicated but only because you probably want to use Outlook as your master list.

Step One - Go to Yahoo mail and import your facebook contacts into your yahoo mail contacts. (they have a wizard that does this for you) Then export Yahoo Mail Contacts to a CSV file. (This will work for myspace and linkedIn as well!)

Step Two (Google) - Import that CSV file into Google contacts and have your phone sync if it doesn't automatically (sometimes it takes awhile to sync)

Step Three - Look in your phone contacts you will now see dupliacte contacts of all your facebook friends. One will be from Google and the other will be from facebook. Select the facebook contact and JOIN or LINK (depends on your rom) it to the other duplicate.

You will now be able to edit all the fields not filled in by Facebook and a have a single contact for that person. (If you look you will see in the contact which profiles are linked together. You will have one profile for each contact source that has been linked. (one for Google and one for Facebook)

If you have Fission running you need to go into EDIT contact before you will get the JOIN button in the menu.

I have found that it is best to do most of your editing in Google Mail and then syncing anything else (such as outlook) to that (I use Companion Link).

And while it is ok to add contacts into outlook and sync with Gmail it is better to check those contacts for correctness in Gmail.

If they are correct in Gmail they are correct on the phone. And should you ever have to factory wipe data you will be sure to get all your contacts back when you resign into GMail on your phone.

Hi all,

Last night, out of the blue, every time I tried to download an app from the Marketplace I got the error "process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly" and a force close. I have no idea what would have caused this as everything was working fine up until last night, I can't think of any strange updates or anything.

Anyway, after some Googling I cleared the market cache and data as recommended but now I can't even open the Market app at all - well it opens, but force closes straight off the bat (I see the Android TOS in the background). I now get the process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly error on boot and whenever launching the market.

I've attempted to install a newer market.apk (current one is 1.82) but Android won't allow me.

The only other recommendations people have given on here to those experiencing this issue on dedicated Droid handsets is to either do a full format/install or to flash something via recovery (doesn't look like I can do this on my SD build)

A couple of months ago I was getting force closes on the calender app and someone sent me a droid.zip file which had a fsck.exe inside it which allowed me to repair my data.img which in turn fixed the problem. I've formatted my PC since than and lost the files and can't find them via Google, at least not one that'll run under Windows command prompt with "fsck.exe data.img" after placing the data.img in the same directory. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or better still provide an alternative method for fixing this issue?

Using Darkstone's SuperRAM 1.5 Froyo build.

Many thanks!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
maybe you should try an other android rom ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rikardo1979:
The best and quickest way to fix this is to use market.app from same build what u got.

So its mean u need to extract this particular app from the ROM and copy it to the /system/app

Or if u dont know how to extract it just ask in your ROM thread so someone whos know how to extract it and than can post it for download.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SMS92:
Not really an option - The build I use is the most stable and one of the most widely used here on XDA (outside the Nand forum) and has been nigh-on perfect up until now (in daily use since before Christmas). I can't replicate how and why this happened so there's just as much chance of it happening on another ROM. Google suggests it's a common problem with the fix (for non rooted/savvy) people to factory reset their devices.

There's got to be a better way and I'm sure the crew here will find it!

Thanks - I'll look into doing it now. I've had no luck installing various Market apks though (with the default market disabled / cleared, etc.) so I'm unsure of the results!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rikardo1979:
This should help cos if u do it this way u actually not installing/reinstalling the app. u actually repleace the sys market.app for the original one from the ROM. So there is no way it will not work again if it was working before after u flashed the ROM.

I'm pretty sure it will do the trick, but also I may be wrong :rolleyes:.

I had some issue on my ROM with cam.app and this proced. helped me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ricola7:
Hey,

you can try this (very simple):

1. Open terminal emulator

2. type "su" (without quotes) and hit enter

3. type "fix_permissions" (without quotes) and hit enter

4. wait until process is done and exit terminal

5. maybe reboot, but should be fine without reboot

This is a common way to fix force closes, so maybe this helps in oyur case too.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SMS92:
FIXED! [Edit: not]

Here's what I did.

Downloaded THIS

Extract it to C:\Droid

Boot into Win Mobile and move your data.img in \Android\ into the \Droid\ folder on your PC.

Start > Run > CMD

type "cd c:\droid" (without quotes) to get into the directory you've created.

Type "e2fsck -f data.img" (without quotes) and say 'y' (yes) to all the errors you encounter. There will be dozens. When done you'll be notified the modified data.img has been saved.

Copy the newly modified data.img from \Droid\ to \Android\ on your device.

Boot into Android - things might be a bit slower/laggy at first.

All should be well! :)

Edit: This fix seems to have really slowed my phone down. It takes at least 2x as long to run stable on boot (i.e. stop lagging, load all background apps etc). I've imported my previous data.img over and will be trying the fix by Dom (above).

Edit2: And I'm now getting com.android.media force closes with the modded data.img! Music app won't work. :( Jesus!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SMS92:

Hey Dom, terminal tells me "fix_permissions: not found" when I run fix_permissions. Am I missing something? (I've su'd before hand) Guess Darkstone hasn't included this script in his rom?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
How about getting a fresh copy of the ROM, and just keeping your data.img. It may not work, but it's surely worth a go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ricola7:
Hmm, it seems that this script isn't inluded in your roms. But for you SMS92 it seems that it is another problem anyway.

If you wanna try sth. else see this:

http://all-google-android.com/google-android-forums/t-mobile-g1-modders/fix-permissions/

This is an "improved" fix permission tutorial which goes further than the command I posted above...quote from the link above: "fix_permissions is only intended for correcting ownership issues. It does not modify permissions, as is being requested."

In this post is a downloadlink for the advanced script so it doesnt matter if its already included in the rom...

It's a no-go I'm afraid. :(

So far the only thing that's worked is running the repairs on my 2gb data.img using e2fsck on my PC, but this in turn created a load more problems (com.process.media started force closing and the rom seemed to be much slower)

Will try some more suggestions tonight. :)

Apparently this is also happening to other phones (not necessarily rooted handsets) including the incredible S. This could be Google's fault with this new update, as many devices seem to not be optimized for it. I ran two ROMs (Hyperdroid CM7 and Typhoon Nightly) and both don't seem to work. I've tried everything including fixing permissions, uninstalling updates, clearing cache, etc. and nothing seems to work! :confused:

I successfully rooted the phone with UniversalAndroot recently, or at least that's what it says on Androot. I downloaded ROM Manager v3 and was able to flash ClockworkMod but I cant seem to backup my current ROM nor flash a new ROM through ROM Manager. Whenever I attempt at it, the phone will reboot but hangs at the splash screen. On top of that, when I try to access the 'Fix Permissions' section on ROM Manager, an error dialogue pops up saying "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

I suspect my phone isn't rooted completely, thereby explaining why I can't flash a new ROM. Can anyone help me out with this please? Also, what's this thing about loading in recovery, hboot or fastboot?

Help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phedes1:
download following things:

a) - Use Z4root to root your device (attached)

b) - Download Custom firmware for your mobile from cyanogenmod.com, and select "get cyanogenmod">>z71 Variants>>Nightly Builds>>cm_z71_full-112.zip. or the latest on(sorry i am not authorized to give any kind of url)

c) - download google apps (is attached)

d) - Rom Manager from android market.

Keep Z4Root application, custom firmware, google apps in your SD card in root.

Now use following steps:

1 - copy z4root .apk in your mobile SD card and install it in your cell phone. After installing open the application and choose permanent root option. Your system will get restarted and you'll see a "Super User" icon in icons place. if not then reopen z4root and again click on permanent root, same procedure will run. when "Super User" icon is seen, that means your device has been rooted.

2 - Find "ROM MANAGER" from android market (free version is available) and install it in your device.

After that open ROM Manager and click on "All ClockworkMod Recovery" then a list will appear click on "2.5.1.3" and then "commitva z71". Flash will get install.

3 - Click on "Reboot into Recovery", phone get restated in recovery mode (another way to start in recovery mode is press "power button+Volume up+ camera button").

4 - After getting in recovery mode select "wipe data/factory reset" & "wipe cache partition" with the help of trackball.

5 - then select "install zip from sdcard">>"choose zip from sdcard" then browse you custom firmware(cm_z71_full-102.zip). installation will take place.

6 - similarly browse google apps same.

7 - then click "reboot system now". (Note: to go one step back use power button)

I have one quick question, that may not have a quick answer. Any help would be appreciated and thanks to all in advance.

I purchased a locked Dell Streak. My carrier is Rogers (Canada). The phone was purchased new from a Rogers store.

If I unlock the phone using an unlock code can I then update to Android 2.2 without having to go through all the other steps i.e, flashing, custom roms, etc?

Thanks again
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Unlocking by getting a code from the carrier will not allow you to upgrade to froyo any quicker as your baseband will still be the carrier locked version. You need to use qdl tool to get 2.2. that installs froyo and changes your baseband. Streakdroid.com for info on using qdl tool.
