Account & Sync - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Quick question: Which system app is responsible for "Account & Sync" in settings, at it keeps fc'ing for me?
Eventually i will try to adb push it from another ROM...

/system/app/AccountsAndSyncSettings.apk.
Cyanogenmod wiki for barbones gives a good overview about the most apps which come with android and what they do:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
To fix the force close, I suggest to wipe cache and dalvik-cache in recovery. This mostly solves it.

Dalvik & cache wipe didnt helped, and looks like this app is not there (atleast not /system/app) are you sure thats the correct app?
I'm not using AOSP ROM.

One hundred percent sure. I guess you get the force close because the apk is not on your phone any more.
Which rom do you use (according to your sig you use oxygen, which is an aosp rom)? I would say, download the rom's corresponding zip file, extract the AccountsAndSyncSettings.apk and move it with adb to place where it is in the zip file (which should be /system/app).

CoolSensation 3d v9, i extracted it from v7 (it's not here in v9) and moved it to the /system/app/ with Root Explorer, but still fc's.

You should update your signature.
Did you reboot after moving it? Otherwise the system does not recognize this move.

Yeah i restarted, no joy. This is really confusing, is it possible coolexe forgot to include it?
I'm too lazy to change signature.

I assume you flashed cm7 version. There one can find "AccountsAndSyncManager.apk" in /sd-ext/app_s (just checked the zip file for v9). Check if it's there. If it's not, download v9 zip file, extract the apk, move it 'back' to /sd-ext/app_s and reboot.

Fixed it with adb pushing .app from v7, thanks

[Q] Market still force-closing (CM 6.1.1+Pershoot)

Opening the Market installed from update.zip here on the foum, it just force-closes immediately.

Use Root Explorer. It has a button on top that all you have to do is press to change the folder you are in to Read/Write and when you done modifying it, press the button to change it back to Read/Only

It won't let me change the permissions on /system (rest works).
Probably because I don't have the latest due to not having the market lol...
Can someone upload a newer Root Explorer?
"SU File Manager and Terminal". Best file manager you can buy, and it allows /system and /data to mount as rw in file explorer mode.
Sent from a Western Union telegram.
From adb shell or a term session on the phone, makes no difference:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
If you still need the latest one let me know and I'll upload it to dropbox.

Alright, I removed it, but update.zip for the Market, once installed, still force-closes...
Does someone have a DEFINITE link to a working Market for 6.1.1?
I know there are at least 5 uploaded on this forum, and I'll start to try each one one by one since I can delete them now.
OK it failed again, but I installed the modded Gapps (was hoping to avoid having to install all Gapps, they waste resources) and the Market works.
Now to remove all the other crap...
edit: nevermind lol.....
Spoke too soon. It was working fine for a few minutes, then started force-closing constantly. Won't start now.

Here ya go. I pulled it out of SalvageMod 1.1
Most likely will need to be pushed to /system/app
You could just re-flash your ROM...

Root explorer
Copy the file over to system/apps and make the permissions the same as the rest of the folder.
If it asked to overwrite just hit yes.

You need to place the apk on the root of your sdcard, then open root explorer, enable r/w mode, navigate to sdcard, copy the apk, then get into the system/app folder, then paste.

What steps are you doing? I can't test the file because I don't have an evo at the moment.
I put it at the root of my SD card and then I copy and pasted it to /system/app and then I tried to install it. Could you explain to me what parsing is?
I also mounted r/w
Well the parsing error is cuz its having trouble reading the file.
So does that mean the file is corrupt?
Its possible, I would try re-downloading it.

The problem is because you're trying to install it. You don't install system apps. You just copy and paste it to the /system/app folder. THen make sure your permissions are set correctly, by long pressing on the Music.apk, and selecting permissions. Then be sure that user: read/write are both checked. After that, reboot. That's it. You don't click on 'install'. Copy, paste, check permissions, reboot.
or of course
adb remount
adb push Music.apk /system/app
adb reboot
I just tried all of that and it isnt installed after I reboot.

You finally get your phone back? It's about time!
I just downloaded the Music.apk that I attatched, and can't get it to install. I'm on a Sense rom at the moment, and have never tried installing the Gingerbread Music.apk on a Sense rom, and doubt/not sure that it would even work to begin with. Either that, or maybe there are other files that need to go with it? Any other music player I've installed (HTC music player, MIUI player, and Honeycomb player) has no other necessary files, and you just push the .apk to /system/app and all is good. This one seems different, or it just doesn't work on Sense roms. I'm not sure. I tried the Music.apk from Evervolv too, but that wouldn't work either.
OP, what Rom is it that you're on? Are you currently on a Gingerbread rom? If so, just wipe cache, and dalvik cache, then re flash the ROM, as drmac suggested before. That will give you back all of the apps that came with the rom. If you are indeed on a Gingerbread ROM, you'll get the player you're after back. If you're not on a Gingerbread ROM, I'm not sure that the 2.3GB player will work on it to begin with.

[Q] how to undo non-paginated rosie launcher 1 on synergy

Well the title says it all... I downloaded and updated the non-paginated rosie addon/theme from synergy updater. I want to go back to how it was previously. I'm not sure how I can do that. Any help would be great.
just reflash the rom without wiping anything (ok, a wipe of dalvik and cache never hurts). you'll lose all system mods you have done so far, but it's the only way besides restoring a nandroid or manually replacing the files (which i assume you don't want/know how to do)
I'm sure I can do that, what files do I need to replace. I saw Rosie_scroll in astro.

lol rosie_scroll is the cache for the rosie on the sdcard that won't help. to replace files, open the zip you flashed, and find out what files it changed (ignore the META-INF folder btw, that's where the signatures and update scripts are). then just open the rom zip, and find the same files. now adb push, push using root explorer, or build a flashable zip of those files.

[Q]Build a Flashable .zip (CWM)

Hi, I've downloaded a good mms.apk and I would like to test it on my phone, but I can't make a flashable package with it to flash in CWM. I've seen many tutorials on how to do it, however none of them worked for me. It keeps saying "Error in .... Status 0" bla bla bla.
I'm a it of a noob on this, so it must be my error.. :silly:
The .APK is in attachment. If anyone can pack it into a flashable CWM I would be very thankful.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe you can add mms.apk to system/app and set permissions to
RW
R

That's not the case. I assure you. Besides, I have already tried to do that with another Mms.apk and it didn't work as well and I had to flash it with CWM (luckly, a member of XDA packed the whole thing into a flashable .zip)
I just can't create a flashable package. I've tried everything and it failed always :/

Yeah. Same problem. Tried Auto-Sign and everything
the most important is the Meta-Inf folder.
this contains the scripts that the recovery runs, and reads how to install the files, set permissions, symlinking etc..
you can take the whole Meta-inf folder from an existing ROM for gio, and move it to a new map.
folders should look like the following
META-INF > google > android > updaterscript and updatebinary
you need to edit the updater script. remove ALL lines except
mount /system ext4 ....mount
Package_extract(system) /system/
System folder > App folder > your apk you want to have in your rom
now .zip these files, winrar or 7zip doesn't care, as long as it is .zip and not .7zip or .rar you're fine.
flash it, and just to be sure you might want to mount system manually before flashing.

Thanks for all your work, however, I couldn't install it. When I try to open the messaging app it says "Application not installed"
Does this by any mean has something to do with incompatibilities?

Yeah. It could be for different Android versions, or because it's compiled from another kind of dpi screen... make sure that the app could work on CM9 AOKP for your device.

[Q] Deleted DownloadProvider

I just dumbly deleted those two files:
SecDownloadProvider.apk
SecDownloadProviderUI.apk
I am running LIGHTSPEED V3 ROM.
Can someone post me a how to with a link to the need files to back up the download applications? I think I have to change the permissions in that process, but I am pretty clueless...
Thanks!
You should be able to take the ROM zip file and unzip it. The files should either be in systemmapp or system/priv-app. Copy these to your phone and move them to whichever folder they were in inside the rom.zip file. Make sure the permissions are the same as the other apk files inside the folder that you moved the files into.

I just did that and found both apps thanks!
I pasted them and changed the permission to rw-r-r like the other apps in that folder.
But when I tap on the .apk files to install them, the installation fails. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Hit dunt have to tap then to install. Once they are in the correct folder and you have changed the permissions, you just reboot and they will be there.

Next time, just dirty flash the Rom again...no wipes. Fixed.
Yeah I thought about doing a dirty flash, but rather asked cause I did not want to do anything more stupid than I already did...
About dirty flashes, my understanding is that there is no worry about dirty flashing a ROM update. Is that right? For example, flashing LIGHTSPEED V4 on top of V3 without wiping anything.
Thanks guys!!!
Sometimes. Usually a dev will let us know if a clean flash is important,like after big changes. But usually if you run into issues, the first thing you'll be told is try a clean flash. But usually it's fine.
