Fix Permissions

[Guest liamdunn]

Ok so after getting a few errors i read that chosing "Fix permissions" in clockwork can resolve a few things but this has had a negative effect in one area mainly in sms, the contact picture in contacs shows but when reading a message the little android picture is just grey and even a custom picture doesnt show.

after a bit of investigating i now know that some ROM's dont like this, now their is one instance where someone had done the same but on a different phone and maganed to fix it using chmod in a terminal think it went something like....chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/* ,what line of code would i have to use to do the same on the blade?

Thank You

something like....chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*

Well if that is your fix, its an interesting one..

there is no 'file' sub-directory down there from scratch, but I've synced my contacts (some of who do have icons), and the only thing to change for me was databases/contacts2.db that got bigger...

no that was the fix for the desire i think or some other phone to which i tried by replacing "data" with "system" but got nowhere, i tried every veriation i could think of but got nadda
