Can you elaborate a little more? Your question is rather vague and might be why there is no response.
see if this helps
check to see if your gps is functioning properly..... if not reinstall a kernel of your choice, and i suggest stock 1.43.... use Flash Image GUI. this might help but its just a guess. Im not sure of your statement, but i think this is what you mean. good luck, hit thanks if this helps you....

sure:
since the release of the handset HTC Desire HD I have used an app and widget called HTC locations.
amongst other things, this widget is used to replace google navigation by having offline maps in it, which, correct me if I am wrong, is very similar to the maps found in google navigation app.
I have been a bullet rom user since I bought my phone and found that the latest xboarder's version 1.7 is said to have such widget/app working... unfortunetly it does not.
I, then, decided to try my luck with the Energy rom, which I liked a lot and this time, for my frustation, the app/widget is not even there.
After researching the internet, I have found a couple of apk's (laputa, location picker, locations, footprints) and their respective signed lib files.
After flashing them (the signed files through recovery) and installing the apks, the app itself (both footprints and locations) would open, footprints all the way and locations would try to download the necessary files (which would return an error saying it couldnt finish the task or restart sense, nope, its not a problem with my connection). The widgets itself wouldnt work at all.
Back to the forum where I found those files, I figured they were for another version of sense, so the framework would be different in order to run on the Energy rom (thats what I came up with, anyway).
As I believe there would be other HTC location users in the amaze 4g forum, I started this thread asking people if they have it working on theirs and if they do, how did they manage it.
Thanks for your help.
P.S. yes, im talking about the roms for the HTC AMAZE 4G and the use of the app/widget on the HTC AMAZE 4G. I only quoted the DESIRE HD so people know the app/widget I am talking about

So you just can't find the HTCwatch.apk and are looking for someone to upload it for you? Or you do already have the apk and it's not working for you?

I do not think we are talking about the same thing. I am talking about the map widget and app called htc locations. Is it the one you are talking about?
If it is, what I need is, if possible, all the steps in order to install and make it work.

Edit: I also run Energy ROM. I did debloat and am not sure if I deleted apk, but I did see in my /system/app/ I found a HTCLocationservice.apk...

thats the thing I had that rom installed and eventhough the description says it works, you will see on that thread that lots of ppl say it doesnt work... x says that it works for him, I dont know if he froze the app and deleted whats inside the .data/locations or not... I am just not good enough on messing around with those files.
now back to the app, I believe I would need two files the apk for the app and the app for the widget which, if I am not mistaken, the only difference is the name that contains 3d on it...
btw, thanks so much for trying to help me.

untill it starts to be in all the roms, any way to flash this?
i have the apk, tried to do it through App Installer
gonna try adb next
a few people are having problems with getting it to work on cyanogen based roms
I assume, though I could be totally wrong, that there will be no need to flash this or install it. Your market will just show up looking like that someday. In engadget's post about it, they mention "Google's pushing the update to every Android 1.6-and-above device over the next couple of weeks".
im not sure when ill add it ,, looks like some people are haven issues with apps ,, also not sure if i like the fact that if u pay for a app u only have 15 minutes to ask for a refund ,, what if the app works fine , then later on it doesnt work right? i guess u bought a bad app lol i dunno not sure if i like that
As far as I can tell, it's all just a new interface, plus, they changed things like only having 15mins now to get a refund instead of the 24hrs... which is kind of retarded.
The new market is working fine, all apps dloaded with it stick after reboot. If you're using this on a 2.1 rom, delete the Vendor.odex file in system/app if your rom isn't deodex'd already.
if you're on a CM rom, just rename the .apk to Vendor.apk (if it's named something else) and put it in system/app using adb or a file manager.
I attached it already renamed if anyone wants it...
So this is not a pushed update as engadget stated? How are all the other non-rooted android users gonna get it?

I'm not sure exactly, my guess would be through your google account, since it isn't a carrier specific update...
anyone know the answer to this?
I can make a flashable zip for those interested... even though all of you should be able to use adb or a file manager and place it in system/app by now
A flashable zip would be great. How did the market get the new "similar" and "related" tabs? I assumed this update would be pushed the same way. Btw, where are you getting the file to even make a flashable zip? Is it in the Android SDK or something?

This zip works great for me so far. Though I dont like the new market. The tabs made it easier to flip between things and the rotating apps at the top is slow on a slow phone. It looks like they tried to make it look nicer (and failed in my opinion) but ended up making it less functional.
Google apps always look simple and sophisticated. This Market overhaul looks overdone and tacky with too much "pizzaz".

Yeah, that shocked me. 15 minutes isn't much time to make sure an app works fine for your purposes. For apps that have free/trial versions, then you can check those out first, but what if it's the paid options that don't sufficiently work. I think one or two hours is reasonable, but 15 minutes is ridiculous.
I think ROMs should keep the current version of the market and people can use flashable zips to go to the new version if they want.
I just installed Revolution HD 4.1.5 on my Sensation. Been using it about 14 hours. The capacitive buttons never light up. I have tried boot in several ways, slow booting by removing battery and fast boot(with fast boot setting on). Before when I was Revolution 3.6.3. reboot usually solve the problem. Any solution?
The rest of the firmware is Great!!

I saw the picture. You can probably call your Rom developers to put it in.
Use "market enabler" to fake t-mobile provider, then open market again, you will have it.
OC will cause those problem. Try to run lower clock. And unstable kernels may lead to those problem too.

Cannot find it = your Rom developer removed it. Ask him to make a flashable zip to add it back.
Download market enabler, go to setting, long press tmobile, press fake now. Then go market and find Skype, it should be there.

Any1 has it working on Amaze 4g? I am currently using version 1.6 of xboarder's latest creation. And it hot reboots when trying to use it.
I am specifically talking about the widget itself.
I used it a lot on my DHD and really missing it.
If any1 has managed to get it to work on that particular rom, please let me know how
***UPDATE***
Managed to get footprints working by installing the signed footprints lib files.
Cant get the widget working for footprints or locations :_(
If any1 is interested, the reason because footprints and locations widget does not work, apparently is the framework.
Have no idea how to fix it but managed to get the apps working by freezing, uninstalling and flashing the signed zip lib files then reinstalling the apps.
Locations runs but it says that the phone has no location files on the sdcard and needs to update, tries to connect to server but no success.
Footprints, runs just good enough.
If, by any chance, any dev can check it out for me, I would really appreciate it.

Now, before anyone confuses this with AT&T Smart Wifi on the market, I'm not asking for that (that app is garbage in my opinion.)
Now, to the task at hand...
Stock Samsung ROMs have something called AT&T Hotspot Manager embedded into the Wifi settings, which allow the automatic sign in of AT&T hotspots around the country without opening a browser to sign into the network.
I'm using CM9 nightlies at the moment, and upon installing the hotspot manager is not packaged with the nightlies. Not an issue regarding CM9, but I was wondering is there a download package or zip that I can install via CWM or any other method to regain this automatic sign in capability? I'm at a Starbucks and Barnes and Noble a lot, and found this aspect of the phone to be very useful.
Appreciate the timely replies
I'm curious about this too, I've settled in to AOKP after jumping around on ICS roms for a month or so and I just realized I'm not getting my hotspots anymore
I'll sniff around and edit this if I find anything useful, I'm not sure what exactly the hotspot manager was and why we wouldn't be able to just enter the settings for the hotspot into a standard wifi connection
Edit: So el goog wasn't very helpful, all I was able to find was a few similar posts to this one with no remedy. I went to my Titanium Backup and searched through my backed up apps knowing that the manager had to be in there somewhere because I'd used some of the ROM's based off of the stock i777 and found something called "At&t Hot Spots." I restored it to my current ROM and I'll test it at Mickey D's at lunch.
Don't. It's a terrible app.
Looking over your shoulder...
Well restoring the app seems to have had no effect, it still requires me to log in to the wifi. I'm not sure why everyone says it was a terrible app, before I rooted my battery life was just fine with it running, even if I neglected to turn off wifi

First off, I do agree. But what this thread is concerning is that it's not an app. Rather, it was an embedded feature in the stock ROM of this phone, checked off in the wi-fi settings.
Since it's not an app, one cannot readily download it off the market. So it must be a package. From the results of this thread though, I guess a package like this doesn't exist..?
Here's the file: AT&T Hotspots 0.955
This is extracted from a UCKH1 stock ROM. Hopefully it works for you.

That makes about as much sense as having to type in your WEP password each time you log into your home network. Net battery life would be about equal to not having the app, as it takes screen on time (BIGGER battery suck) to go though all the steps necessary to login without this app.

I had the earlier version installed through my Titanium backups. I installed the one posted on this thread and I saw that the app was upgraded. (Additionally, the at&t hotspots icon vanished from the app drawer, I could see that it was running though).
However, it doesn't seem to connect automagically to attwifi. Any clues?

hmmmm ok, well i saw that but skipped over it
because on all my other roms/including stock, i dont remember it being an app,it would just auto-connect
and it was always a system apk as well
let me go check it out though
It was excluded because CM10 has absolutely nothing to do with ATT. Or any phone for that matter. So unless somebody kangs CM10 and adds in an app, it's going to always be as bare bones Android as you can get.
Essentially, CM10 isn't ever a bloat removed version of any phones stock ROM, because it's build from aosp source, so the bloat was never there to begin with, and likely wouldn't be added in anyways.

I like that app as well. That wsa the only thing I didn't like about my ROM, so I did a nandroid, restored to stock, pulled that system app, and restored my nandroid.
Lucky for you and anyone else that wants it, I just happen to have placed it in my Dropbox.
Make sure to place it in /system/app (Don't install it like a normal APK) and change permissions to rw-r--r--
You will need to manually connect to attwifi the first time if you haven't already.
WISPr_postpaid.apk
I use att smart wifi from the play store, its the same thing

It connects automatically when you're in range?

way different
the system app one is just hotspots,mostly ATnT ones i believe
the one in the market can affect connection to your home wifi and work etc
plus, ones an app you can open, the other isnt

the system app one, like if you're at mcndonalds , will connect to it automatically (mcndonalds is one of the stores on ATnT wifi partnerships)
if you didnt have the app, you can still connect(its free wifi no password) but you would have to first open up a browers, read the agreement, and hit accept blah blah, before you can start using the wifi. again the system app skips all that and just connects you

It also skips all the payment info at some places that still charge for WiFi, so long as it's powered by AT&T. I wouldn't mind having this feature back as well, even though I'd rarely ever use it. Honestly, my cell is faster than the WiFi at any Starbucks or McDonalds around here. But I can see a use for it while traveling. Maybe download one of the stock ROM flashable zips and just extract the necessary apk, put it in /system/app and see if it will work that way. I'd try myself, but I'm a tad busy lately and already in trouble for all my downloading this month.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the one on Play is too bloated. I don't want that junk handling all my WiFi.
Is this what you guys are looking for

I just rooted Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a and was going through the cleanup list when I came across this file. I wasn't sure what this file was for until I read this post. I am cleaning it up but here is a copy - in case you can make use of it.

Don't think I want to download an apk from somebody with 1 post on the forum....

Good call. He's clearly not as crafty and trustworthy as you, Mr. Replying-to-a-year-old-post. You're really the gold standard in solid membership.
Boom!

Well, Mr. Useless Retort, I was searching for this very apk and was about to download it until I looked at his stats. You see, the fact that a post is a year old doesn't make a lot of difference if it has information you need. You see, Mr Useless, that's why the forum goes back many years.
Note that my reply wasn't intended for him, it was to warn off anybody else who might think about downloading this.
See how that works??
I think you can get this apk from the market, or what I do is google for apks -- especially older ones when the market updates me and the update sucks. I haven't been burned yet.

Googling for the apk is what brought me to this thread. I've never been burned with a download, either, but then I've never downloaded one from somebody with a single post.
