07/Mar Fr11 - WITH SENSE: MoDaCo Custom ROM for HTC Desire with Online Kitchen (2.2 / Froyo)

[Guest Noonski]

Oh, would it not be updateable from the market if it was baked in then?

I actually haven't had problems updating it, but I forgot if I put it into Data\App or System\App.

Adding it to Data\App should not have issues with updating for sure.

(I now don't have it in Rom as it's already installed to SD anyway and I rarely need to Whipe)

Paul, could you please add a hosts file like the one on this site in r9?

[Guest The Virus 2013]

Auto answer to me :

For the noob who don't know how to push a file to system/app on the desire, here is the trick :

(I put the Gmail.apk on my SD before...)

C:\android\adb shell

#mount /system

#mount /sdcard

#cp /system/app/Gmail.apk /sdcard/GmailBKP.apk

#cp /sdcard/Gmail.apk /system/app/Gmail.apk

That's it... If something is wrong, you have the GmailBKP.apk that you can restore.

[Guest sleaztek]

hey everything was working fine than today i baked again for the gmail update and the wifi stoped working.....

any idea some one????

[Guest daruma]

I have installed the last wip 9 rom and the new gmail app doesn't work well. I can't send any mail and the mail counter doesn't work exactly.

@Paul - how I understand it is that since /sys is not writable apps installed there can not be updated (like all the google apps). So you should solve this by either installing them to apps or making sys writable. Otherwise it's not much use having these apps

Besides that PLEASE do something about the kitchen bloating up. With every item you add to the kitchen it gets more and more unausable. Just focus on usabilty of the kitrchen before adding any new options.

[Guest bpivk]

It's always good to have a lot of options but do we really need to pick between wifi G or N? Or does everyone just choose N?

thanks that was probably me.

Not sure about security risks, but you could use create the script and then use Tasker to run it on boot (or whenever you wanted). I've noticed that cron is available in the terminal too, but not sure if it would be any use in this situation.

well t-bit altering i overthrowed it s to dangerous to do

found a step forward with the browser cache problem, which doesn t fully work for now - ironically because of two lines in the bootcomplete.bravo.rc that is run after my script, and overwrites my link to my cache directory - i m not that firm on altering the boot.img, maybe someone who has more experience can have a look at the script below if thats a possible way to go

the basic idea: if htc/google insists on altering the ownership/permissions on /app-cache/com.android.browser/ unusable through one of the librabries - why use this directory at all? its a tmpfs (in RAM? because it gets lost after reboot and is recreated, which is for a browsercache another thing to talk about) with t-bit so any process should be possible to write a directory which he has ownership of, undependent of the name of the directory.

edit: just a thought, please - i dont t know if it breaks the pictures of sms or something else, its just a try to get further on that problem

my script in /system/etc, which is run just before 99complete:

#!/system/bin/sh

#98xbrowser script run before bootcomplete


#get ownership and group of browserdirectory


ABROWSER_UID=$(/system/xbin/ls -ln /data/data | \

grep "com.android.browser" \

| awk '{print $3}');


ABROWSER_GID=$(/system/xbin/ls -ln /data/data | \

grep "com.android.browser" \

| awk '{print $4}');


#create app-cache directory in tmpfs if not exists


mkdir -p /app-cache

chmod 01777 /app-cache

chown 0.0 /app-cache


#create browser-cache directory, doesn t matter how it is called


mkdir -p /app-cache/welookatyouhtc


chmod 771 /app-cache/welookatyouhtc

chown $ABROWSER_UID.$ABROWSER_GID /app-cache/welookatyouhtc


#for now this has to be redone after bootcomlete.bravo.rc manually, because it is overwritten by bootcomplete.bravo.rc


rm /data/data/com.android.browser/cache1

ln -s /app-cache/welookatyouhtc /data/data/com.android.browser/cache1


rm /data/data/com.android.browser/cache -r

ln -s /data/data/com.android.browser/cache1 /data/data/com.android.browser/cache

Anyone having problems with there phone not sleeping?

[Guest Ben1981]

Anyone having problems with there phone not sleeping?

I am. I was getting the same problem with r8 aswell.

[Guest giorgisp]

Please add "English (Greek)" at the languages of the setup. I hate to have my phone in greek! Oh, and because I like these emulators of snes and gameboy and I also have some Wii Remotes I'd like to connect them but this is not possible on most roms with sense because of the bluetooth stack. I have managed to do it before with CyanogenMod 6.0 so I'm asking if it is possible to use a bluetooth stack that supports HID and SPP profiles on this and future roms?

[Guest amanx]

It seems bootscreen can't work in the kitchen.

I see bootanimation.zip in the rom file, but do not show the boot animation

[Guest DraKT]

Is it? I choose nexus 1 bootscreen, and it work.

No problem with the kitchen~~

[Guest aidfarh]

Where is the bootanimation.zip located in yours? In mine it's in /data/local. However, in some previous bakes it was in /system/customize. If the bootscreen doesn't work, try moving it from one place to the other.

The file location same as you. I have try to move the bootscreen, but also not work

[Guest Kiran J. Holla]

I have tried multiple times and failed to make my Google Maps and GMail applications updateable from the market.

Here is what I did:

- Booted the Phone into Recovery

- Issued the following commands

>adb shell

#mount /system

#rm /system/app/Gmail.apk

#rm /system/app/Maps.apk

#rm /system/app/Street.apk

After this, I booted my phone normally and tried installing Google Maps and GMail from the market. GMail installed fine and I had the latest GMail version on my phone. However, GMaps installation failed again. Hence, I had to go back to my Nandroid backup of R8. Now that GMail was installing fine, I decided that I would remove only Gmail.apk and try installing only that from the Market. I issued the following:

>adb shell

#mount /system

#rm /system/app/Gmail.apk

After this, my phone won't boot! It just gets stuck in the green HTC logo. The Quietly brilliant animation never appears.

I have since gone back to my R8 Nandroid again. However, my Gmail and Gmaps are still not updateable in the market.

Can anyone guide me as to what I am doing wrong here?

Regards,

Kiran

[Guest aidfarh]

Kiran,

Instead of removing the apk, try moving it to /data/app instead:

#mv /system/app/Gmail.apk /data/app/

[Guest Audioboxer]

I'm having the same issue, it's just showing the default android boot text for me.

[Guest MuxeuG]

r9 has some bugs:

- russian HTC IME keyboard types ! instead a space (2.09 build bug);

- Voice Seach seeks variants, but when choose one of them the app crashes

This noob here (me) copied the Gmail zip provided in the Gmail 2.3 thread on the forum to his SD card, then applied it via the recovery menu. It's worked fine but does it mean that it is not loaded to system/app and if so, does it matter???
