Is anyone on a GB ROM having trouble with FriendStream not working? the widget works just fine, but when I open the app, it always says "loading" the eventually goes to "no updates" I've tried re-installing, removing the account and adding it back, etc numerous times but still no luck. Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks
I have the same problem and can't figure it out...can anyone help? I just updated to Bamf 2.1 and have FB synced up through HTC Sense. Widget works fine but when I click the arrow on friendstream, just says no recent updates and all other tabs are blank as well
Did you guys use titanium after flashing 2.1? my friendstream kept FC'ing when i restored everything. Try doing another flash of 2.1 (make sure to wipe everything first). enter your friendstream login manually.

I used titanium only to restore some apps...no system data. but it still didnt work. i even tried uninstalling friend stream and pulling the apk from another rom to see if that would work but still no luck. i've tried pretty much everything.
I did use Titanium but also did not restore data, just apps. and friendstream was not one of them. I dont have time to reflash and setup my homescreens (takes 3 hrs) and its not worth my time for this one app to work, i guess i can just use the fb app for live feed and friendstream for the widget. HTC you suck!

I recently upgraded to GSB v2.1 from my previously non-rooted bog standard Eris and am amazed by what I had been missing out for. I'm still pretty much a complete newbie to the whole custom ROM thing though, and have a few questions that may be quite stupid.
1) I'm getting force close crashes w/ the Facebook app. It'll load for a second and I'll see my news page, then force close comes up. Do I just need to reinstall or ... ? Edit: Facebook seems to be loading now, without force close issues. The problem was very repeatable (every time I tried to open the app!) last night, but seems gone today. Ah well, good riddance!
2) While trying to play a vid from Youtube, the sound is working flawlessly but the video doesn't seem to be advancing. I can move forward manually but all I get are still pictures from the video. This is using the browser that came with GSB; I haven't yet tried to get any other apps.
3) My wife's phone seriously needs this too, but she's leery of wiping her phone of apps. What's the best way to backup apps from a non-rooted Eris?
Thanks in advance for any answers you guys can provide!
Download titanium backup for the apps I'm new at this too I'm unsure about your problems with Facebook and YouTube did you wipe the dalvik cache?

I did wipe the cache, although like I said, I haven't put any apps on here yet, so no harm in just wiping it all again and reflashing the rom to make sure it works. Thanks for the titanium backup tip!
No problem gsb is a great rom these Eris devs do awesome work I use gsb 2.0 no problems I'm trying Ginger tazz now I think battery life may be a little better but both are excellent. You should totally hook your wife's phone up too

I think the Youtube thing is a known issue, and I'm guessing that it's just because Cyanogen Mod 7 isn't completely done yet, so maybe it'll be worked out over time.

Just to let you know, you can wipe the Dalvik cache any time you want to, even after loading apps. It'll just longer to rebuild it when you reboot, but it can help solve issues sometimes.
Welcome to rooting!
That's great to hear! Well, it's not great that youtube doesn't work 100%, but at least it's not some weird problem particular to me. Lol.
I have to say, I really really have grown to like this ROM very fast. My wife is clamoring for it even knowing she's gonna lose all her apps. Any tips on how I set my contacts to import Facebook profile pics now? I did it before, but have no clue where that was or where it may have moved to now.

best option i found for backing up my wife's apps before flashing from stock was to use "universal androot" to root (it is a software root so there is no rebooting or flashing or really any risk of loosing aps). then you can install titanium backup. it will even backup protected files since you have root. when titanium backup loads, hit menu->batch and pick the backup all new apps and newer versions. after flashing, load titanium backup, menu-> batch and pick restore all missing apps (i restored them with data, but many people have had to install the app only and then put back in the other info). FYI i rooted several (5) phones this way. if you install rom manager from the market and install a recovery (clockwork or amon's) from the rom manager, you can turn phone off, then hold vol down and power on to boot to recovery. from there you can wipe and flash. it is the easiest way to root and flash a new rom imho.
sorry figured i should answer your post i quoted. lol. if under menu-> accounts and sync->add account->facebook. input your info and select sync all or sync current contacts. it should pull in the information. if you have different names for people in your contacts and your facebook (ex "wife" in your contacts and "jane" on facebook) you can "sync all contacts" and manually link them. contacts->long press on contact->edit contact->menu->join. this should link you contacts with their facebook info. the facebook pics will sync it just takes a good bit of time sometimes.
Hey, guys. I've been having a little issue for the last couple of ROM flashes. Whenever I try to go to my contact links, I get a force close and the notification saying:
"The application People (process com.android.htccontacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I've cleared the data out of the People app and it still happens. I spent some time Googling and found people with a similar problem and a way to fix it, but it doesn't work for me. The workaround they had was to disable auto sync, remove the facebook sync account, go in to People, hit the "world" icon button and re-enable Facebook through there.
There is no such icon on the BAMF Gingerbread remix #5 ROM that I'm running and when I tried it with the froyo ROMs, facebook wasn't an option available to me through that tab.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? It's not the biggest deal that I can't link contacts, but it sure would be nice to have that ability again.

Are you saying that this was happening when you were on stock also, or just the button wasn't there?
It's been happening recently on non-stock froyo ROMs like BAMF and CM7. The button is there (the world button), but there is no facebook option listed like the instructions to fix the problem say there is.
same situation
Hello,
I have the same problem.
After sync I got FC on com.android.htccontacts
It is something related with linked contacts, but I didn't find a way to clear that out.
I've tried also to remove sync acounts like facebook and skype, but it didn't help.
Any ideas would be apreciated.
I am with Alpharev Hboot CM7 r2 table, Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5, RCMixS v2.0 Bravo CM7.

Have you been wiping everything when you flash a new ROM. I would try doing a full wipe if you haven't already and try flashing again. Those issue were with the first couple builds..sometimes can be fixed by wiping the calendar stats. If you go into accounts and sync go to each account and see which ones AREN'T actually wanting to sync up. That will narrow it down.
yea I used to have similar problems the only way to get rid of it is by reinstalling the rom but you must wype and clear all data and make sure it is uploaded to the newest radio. If that doesn't work do a restore of your original ROM and try it again but wype everything. do not do it through bootloader useClockworkMod
So, I have no idea what has happened here, but I seem to have lost my calendar application. Is there any way, other than re-installing the ROM to get that back?
Ok, so, the plot thickens. I went ahead and just reflashed the rom through ClockWork Manager, got everything to boot up just fine, and using Titanium Backup was able to reinstall all my programs/settings. Now a really interesting thing has happened, the phone won't recognize my sim card! When I go into wireless networks and settings, and then into mobile network providers, it prompts me to put a sim card into the phone (of course, there's already one in there).
Any suggestions on this?
My plan for now is to go home, back everything up to my computer, wipe everything through my CWM recovery, and then try to re-flash again.
Also, the keyboard that I use (SlideIt) is having problems force closing every few seconds, which is becoming REALLY annoying.
I would love your input.
ok, so, after a full wipe of the phone, and THEN re-installing Axura 2.3.1.3, I think I'm back to where I want to be. Phone is recognizing my SIM again and I'm in the middle of doing my restoration with TiBU. I'm gonna go through apps first and THEN system information to see if that's what caused my problems before. Might have a corrupted TiBU file somewhere, or a rogue one that's causing these problems for me.
if calander was the only problem in the first place you could have just downloaded 1 from market ??
yeah, I could have, but I really just wanted the stock Google calendar. I'm weird like that

working now ??
i'll post apk for it if you want
Just a bit of info to pick everyone's brain:
Every time I would open the contacts and try to add a new contact, com.motorola.contacts would f/c.
I kept playing around with it, and when I tried to edit display options it would f/c. I ended up freezing about 10 different apps in Titanium Backup before I found the culprit: Contacts Sync, and now it works perfectly. WEIRD.
btw, I have made a full nandroid backup of my original system, and my phone has 0 bloatware removed. So idk if it's an issue with the stock rom, or me rooting, or what. but there you go. Any input is appreciated
I've got the same issue. I was wondering if I uninstalled a wrong file.
Having the same issue. I thought I tried unfreezing that and rebooted but still would not work. Will try again
Contacts sync is not frozen and I still cannot add contacts. Any other ideas appreciated.
I fixed the issue finally. When you are in Titanium Backup, first make a backup of the contacts sync apk, then convert it to a user app. fixed all my weird contacts issues and it actually still syncs my contacts.
I probably overlooked something when freezing apps, screwed something up. Can't wait for our fxz files!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the info. TB won't stop processing it but it started working again.

rock:
I had the same issue along with atquick IIRC. Restored all frozen apps/system with TiBu Pro; plus restored to original backup that was made when first rooted w/ Zedomax using modded Bionic Bootstrap. Nothing would correct FCs. Local VZW was told by Tech Support to replace phone!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20562332&postcount=7
Glad to hear you got your razr working again! Have to think the Bionic Bootstrap/recovery missed something during the backup; but that's just a guess.
FWIW...........
Hi all
Sorry if this has been posted before or if I'm in the wrong section. I've tried to learn as much as possible, but as a complete noob to Android, I'm finding it a tad unmanageable.
What happened:
So first I rooted my device with Odin and CWM6.4. I used CWM to make a backup of my device on the internal SD, as I have no external. I then installed Mobile Odin Pro and flashed first CM9, then the LFB modem, then CM10 and then GAPPS. I then reset my device, or whatever the option was called to delete everything, which the guide said was required.
I'm now running the CM10 released yesterday (06082012) and everything seems to be running well. However here are some questions, that I hope you can help me with:
1) I liked the touchwiz widget for the weather and clock. Can I get this back somehow?
2) I liked the swype keyboard and tried installing swiftkey3, but this does not have swype apparently. Can I somehow get swype again?
3) When I installed CM10, I had to delete everything, which meant I lost all my apps and their files. Is this standard when flashing? I would like to fiddle around and try some different roms/kernels, but it would get tiresome if I had to reinstall everything from scratch every time.
4) Since I got CM10 instead of stock, the screen seem to be generally much brighter and drains a lot more power from the battery. I've tried setting it on automatic, but it doesn't seem to adjust the screen brightness even if I try covering up the sensor with my finger. Does anyone know why? Is it because I'm using software which is under development or is there an easy fix?
5) I've tried getting it to transfer my contacts from facebook to my contacts on the phone, but it just doesn't seem to happen since CM10. Is there something I can try to get it working? Also before I had the option in the facebook app under app settings and could check a box here to make it sync. Now the sync option seems to be under Android homescreen --> Settings --> Accounts --> Facebook --> check to synchronize. It says it synched like 30 minutes ago, but I can't see the contacts.
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide!
Regards Casper

Lets answer your questions one by one..
1. You cannot get tw Widgets on cm10..as it uses the framework which is different from CM10..try other widgets from the market..
2.you can download swipe by going to beta.swype.com and downloading it manually..or else install slideit pro..its also provides the same functionalitty..
3. You don't need to install everything when you reflash..use titanium backup root from play store to backup Apps+data ..and restore the apparel when you flash again..
4.might be a rom issue..remember it is still in development..
5.the settings I jb are in that way..try going to Facebook app..open the contact list..scroll up and down till al the contact pictures load..check you phone contacts again..hope it work..used to work earlier in gingerbread..
Don't mind the spelling mistakes..I am typing on a phone in a moving bus
Cheers.
