I've read somewhere that removing mediascape or timescape would cause all sorts of troubles on the X10.
I'd like to get rid of them as I dont use them and they keep autostarting no matter what i Do.
Is it possible to do it without any issues?
Cheers
Yes I think they can but this affects some other parts of the phone like the Address book for example.
I would like to know how to remove the SonyEricsson Sync app, and would this affect the phone in any way?
I think it's only Timescape that can have adverse affects but I could be wrong.
Mediascape can be removed without any problems. Just make sure that you have something in its place to view your photos. Astro's image viewer works well, or the app 'Just Pictures' is similiar to mediascapes photo interface.
Timescape on the other hand causes problems as mentioned above when removed. Unfortunately no one has figured out a work around for this yet so im afraid were all stuck with it for now.
I uninstalled Timescape.
The only problem it seems to cause is that you won't be able to open contact details in the stock phonebook app. Tapping on a contact will simply do nothing, though you can still long-press on a contact and dial them that way.
Alternatively you can use a third-party phonebook app (such as aContacts, Phonebook 2.0, etc.) and then your fine.

Mediscape can be removed with no probs at all and Timescape can be removed as well, if you use a 3rd party contact app as Saltorio mentioned. For removal of apps and a safe way to do it with a lil bit of testing refer to this link (post no. 6)

Thank you. I saw those several months ago, but there is nothing about SE Sync.

No! it isnt mentioned, but what i meant was 'cd' to your /system/app, do 'ls' and find out the SE sync and move it to a temp folder, use the phone and if there is no prob 'rm' it
Yes, but I don't know what's the name of the file.
How about the dialer, works fine?
log, fine?
when you select phonebook in the dialer, would it open the 3rd party phonebook?
would it be possible to remove the stock phonebook?
Thanks

The stock dialer works fine with Timescape uninstalled.
As for removing the phonebook, should be OK if using a 3rd party phonebook, but haven't tested that myself.

I love the intergraded facebook functionality, specially the photo feature to view them in HTC Album.
Now I can view albums from a lot of users, but from some others I can't.. while in the standalone facebook app, which sucks compared to HTC Album, I can view the albums ok.
Now this could be due to certain facebook account/privacy settings, but I've tried about every setting I can find in facebook but my own albums won't show up in HTC Album.
Am I missing a setting? or is this just a known bug?
I've set the permissions for the albums to "Everyone", as well as the photo application permission settings itself. And the profile share privacy settings for photos is checked (and everything else just to make sure) but still they won't show.. they do show in the standalone facebook app but I would really like them to show up in HTC Album.
Any advice or help is much appreciated!
Had the same issue, apparently it's about the privacy settings of the users. If some of them don't have their picture in your phone, it means that your phone was unable to retrieve it due to some settings they made in their original facebook account

I understand that, but what about my own albums?
Up for this question!
Can you guys see your own albums just fine on HTC album?
It says "The user has no albums to display"
but I know I have albums!

I just had this issue, then realised that I recently changed my facebook password and didnt reflect this in the integrated version. So now, it tells me that I have albums, but the images wont load up...the loading animation just goes around in circles.....
Yes I can see mine no problem at all.

that happend to the albums of the ones that I could see when I had the camera icon disabled in the registry.. if you've also done that, turn it back on..
I am quit new to facebook and the users that I can see albums from are quit long term users.. maybe it takes a while... or it has something to do with new facebook accounts..
Yes with similar problem too. I can see the album names but no pictures can be displayed, HTC Album only shows me a 'forbidden-like' icon. The problem will not occur while the ROM is freshly installed, but will happen after few days.

Try this?
Hope it works for you.
I just got my HD2 from tmobile yesterday. Initially, I was able to view contacts' facebook photos either through the facebook app or directly from their contact page. However, for some reason, I am no longer able to (I either get "Fetching" eternally, when using the app, or "user has no albums to display" when trying through contacts).
Obviously I'm using the factory ROM, I've tried a hard reset (no luck) and have also tried ensuring that the relevant cache is properly set, but my problem remains.
Edit: I also get an error if I attempt to go through Albums to the facebook user.
i have the same issue... one contact i can see the albums the others i don't
Also, my phone info:
ROM: 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
Manilla: 2.5.20121412.1
Fresh off of a hard reset, first thing I tried was the facebook app, and it hangs on "fetching."
Same here...I have tried different Rom's too and it's the same. I believe it has to do something related to the new facebook privacy settings...possible a setting on each individual profile to block external application from accessing?
mine hangs on 'fetching' also, us hd2.....
it seems implausible that it is a facebook privacy setting: mine works sometimes, and it does not seem to depend on the user either. one time, after a hard reset, i could see one friend's photos, but only for a few hours. then it hung on fetching. I'm using the factory us tmobile rom and trying to view facebook albums immediatly after a hard reset. some user's photos will show (consistently) others will show (but will stop displaying after a short period), and some won't show at all. it is not consistent across users.
is the facebook app simply bad? does it work consistently for anyone? if so, what are.your settings, if you don't mind sharing? i'd really appreciate any help, this seems like too significant a feature to simply not work, i'm hoping that i'm just missing something. thanks
edit: starting a new thread. having re-read the OP's problem, mine (and some of the others') problems do seem substantially different.
I am having the, "i cant see my own photos" problem. Every thing else seems to work fine. I would just like my own pics to load so i can tag them when i upload them
I even tried installing the app to storage card instead of using the cooked in app in the NRG rom. The Tilt 2's we used before didnt have this problem and i just checked my daughters app this morning on her tilt 2 and its working normal. Though mine and my wifes HD2's dont get 3g, we have even tried on WIFI
Tried This?
I experienced a similar problem recently. Heres what I did -
-Downloaded the newest FB app from Windows Marketplace.
-Input user name and password and confirmed it working and could view
albums in the app itself
-Turned off automatic updates, then turned back on
After that, the albums seemed to work and fully load. Essentially what I think happened in my case was I had an older version, downloaded a new one and never reset my FB settings on the HD2 settings tab for data services (so it didnt see me as an allowed user, rather a "guest" FB account trying to view an album). Then I could access HTC Albums and see all the pictures again. Again, may work for you, may not. Just an idea that worked for me.
Definitely worth trying tho.
Good luck, let me know if it helps anyone.
That didnt help me at all. Its random and i had my pics load in the app a couple times, with only place holders, no thumbs, but its after logging out in sense and restarting. Only some times though. Most of the time it just sits there loading forever
I can see all my pics in the albums just fine at all times, and i see all others too. Im just trying to get the app to load them so i can tag if i need to, like the other day when i found out this problem exsists
I figured out a way (a trick) to get my photos to load so i can go in and tag. I setup facebook app to rotate in BSB tweaks and now when i go to my photos in facebook app and it sits there with the animate loading, i just turn my phone and the place holders show up. Good enough! Then flip the phone back and go in and tag the mobile uploads.
I am missing Babelsnap (a OCR translator) and Twidroid, from the marketplace entirely. They do not show up when I search, and they are no longer listed in my apps...when I very clearly bought and paid for them both...
anyone else have this issue of the marketplace not showing certain apps?

Yes, it is because the market app, or something along those lines, is making the market think you are not in a place that you can legally buy those apps or something like that. It is a part of this being an alpha stage ROM.
IIRC, some people tried installing the market from the google apps pack in the CM ROM thread, but I haven't tried and didn't see what the results were of that.

Oh well the hazards of running with the newest I guess...
Speaking of, I notice that syncing contacts to the phone using this build isn't really working either. Missing sync says it pushed 202 contacts but when you go view, non of them show up. So I guess big lol on that part, I actually ahve to use sim contacts for once...

Mine synced fine, but I have noticed a lot of sync issues.
ie, Picasa "syncs" but doesn't save the pictures. It is clear there is a lot of alpha to this.

Very true I might stick with this for another day and go back to CM for now.
Not worth the hassle at this point. Although finally having navigation working is a pretty big bonus.
Must admit, the Facebook app for the HTC HD2 is pants. Before I had the HTC, I was on Blackberry Storm, and loved the Facebook app, as it used to download my alerts in real time.
But with the HTC HD2 I have to log in each time on the app, and have to refresh the facebook app. Complete rubbish I think.
Anyone know is the Facebook app on the HTC HD2 is going to get any better?
You have an Opera browser and a big screen -make use of it!
Where's the point in using a stupid app for things that are way easier directly in the browser?
I find the app quicker, and more convenient! Well it was on the Blackberry Storm anyway...
hey dude, i know how you feel... i was a bit dissapointed with the facebook app at first but then i waited for a while, i tryed looking for a alternative third party app but nothing was any good, then i found a CAB on here for the new facebook for resistive screen phones, someone had made it work with HD2 and it works great, much better than the old one
i did a review of it on my youtube channel, you should check it out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7dDxLrP2GI
Actually the constant need to log in is a bug. Everytime I flash a ROM, one of the first thing I do is to run the Facebook app, and tick the save login option. After that it never asks for login again....but you'll still have to refresh manually. I'm guessing it's more of a conflict with another installed apps or just general winmo weirdness.
Otherwise, yeah, the apps is pretty pathetic.
FB
Does anyone else have the problem that it saves the pics from Facebook into an album on the device memory, and then when you go into your albums you have tons and tons of albums because each pic is saved as an album?

First; there are other people who also have the problem with FB not "saving" the login info.
Do a quick search and see if they've found a solution.
Second; http://touch.facebook.com might be more to your liking..
m.facebook.com is fine for Nokias, but the touch.facebook.com page is made for "iPhone-like" devices like our HD2.

That's why...it works only if you do it before installing too many other apps....so if u ever reflash a ROM, make sure logging into facebook and saving details is one of the first things u do.

Can you tell me where to find this fix, i found the one that requires using the registry editor but there are at least 60 folders with anywhere from 1 to 4 photos in each.
they are only little thumbnails as well
they way i read the registry tweak, it says to input each individual folder in...
The HTC Facebook ALbum hotfix (just installed) does not stop it downloading tiny pics from FB of all your contacts.
As from the HTC site:
restores the ability to view your friends’ photo albums
This suggests its related to privacy settings, and the app's ability to now process that correctly.
(i.e. able to view them online, but app wouldn't allow you to)
Can you point me in the direction of the registry fix for it?
Hi, my available device memory is down to 18mb, and I haven't really stored much there. Could it be due to the Facebook app, which keeps storing the pics in Device Memory? In that case, how do I free up this space?
In HD2 General go to Hints page and do what is sudgested in No:64 than install an App called ClearTemp in the Menu click sellect all and and clean once a day at least.it will take just a few seconds.
Edit::looks on the hint page is not cleare enough".
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
Add a new string: Name – Facebook Cache,
Value – \temp\imagecache
That should be \fbimagecache
and it worked.
Thanks for that.
Ok so before when viewing photos in mediascape I learned that you could tap the mail icon and there would be an option to upload to my picasa web album. Well suddenly it is no longer available?? The only thing that ive done to change anything on my phone since this took place is to install Helixlauncher, which I don't think would screw with that.
Any thoughts??

In order to basically get back to where you started (option to upload picasa web album) you'll need to follow some basic steps....
1. Uninstall Helixlaucher
2. Stop asking silly questions
3. Wouldn't you think that if everything was as you wanted it before you installed an app, things went "wrong" after installation of said app, that it only stands to reason if you uninstall that very same app, you'll be at square one again?
4. Now THIS was a problem. (Just read my friend. Just read)
Which was solved with a little bit of know how!
I really Like Froyo........... (try JPA at the Moment)
But one thing i really miss in any Froyo releases (and i have tried nearly every ROM that was leaked) since the first Froyo releases the Sync of Tasks and Appointments that are created by third Party Apps (Jorte, Quickaddroid....) is broken.
The Tasks are (on Device) stored in my Google Calaendar but not synced. Only if i open and save it in Stock Calendar they ar synced.
Call Logger (e.g. Lo2Calendar) also not working.
This is absolutely essential for me because the Stock Calendar is a very bad Solution and nearly unuseful.
But i am very surprised, that no one misses this Function or tell it as an Bug.
Does anyone Know an Workaround???????
I really appreciate Froyo.
But without this Options it is no Option for me and so i have (once again) to flash back to JM8.
This was, until now, the most stable and reliable ROM for me.
There is already a thread somewhere specifically about the Jorte problems (from which I also suffer). I also don't like the Samsung Calendar app, but didn't find a workaround (yet)...

Bad Luck
So there seams to be no Way to get this working under Froyo.
And so i had once again flashed back to JM8.
Ok i playing around a lot with the Phone. But at first it has to work and this as good as it can.
And without the Cal sync in 3rd Party Apps it works, not for me.

Please.
Before posting such useless tipps, read and understand the meaning of the post.
Dont want to bother you.
Sorry......
Sounds more bad than i mean it
pbruck,
Well, just to bring your attention to the fact that calendar sync with 3rd party apps is working again in firmware XXJPU (FROYO 2.2.1!)

My first froyo-version was XWJPA installed through Kies. After that, 3rd party sync didn't work. I later did a full-wipe install of XWJPA through Odin. After that, it started working again. So I think something went wrong with the settings of my Jorte after the update to froyo through Kies.
Wow this is bad
Does anyone have a solution to these problems. This is horrid. I can't believe that I have to choose the calendar that an event is added to EVERY TIME. I didn't even know it was happening until I noticed my CallTrack data was not syncing properly. If I could I would return my phone.
