I deleted the Facebook for HTC sense 1.0 APK thinking that it was just the wiget. I tried to down load from the market but it does not show up.
I made backup of it using Titanium but restore option is not there. Contacts will not sync without it.
Anyone know where I can get it.
HTC Hero(Sprint CDMA) just rooted no custom ROM installed.
Much thanks.
ROM it
I'd recommend dropping the Sense. There's a google apps pack you install after CM6 which includes Faceybook app.

I just put CM6 on my Hero this week, can't believe I waited so long. Its like a whole new device, no lag and very usable. I'm not disappointed about missing sprint's newest dialer fix in the least.
If you use a file browser you can browse to the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard and find the app you are looking for. Just look for something with facebook because the name will have com.xxxxxfacebook.3df4dsxxxxxx.apk. Make sure it is the .apk one and not the .tar, as the .tar is all the user data. You will need to extract it. It will be easier to extract it to a new folder. Then browse to that folder and inside will be the app. You can then install it. Or you can do it from your computer by pulling /sdcard/TitaniumBackup

Same here. It's the best thing you can do for a Hero.

Did you make a nandroid backup when you rooted?
If so, make a nandroid of your current setup, restore the original backup, pull the apk from there to your desktop, then nandroid restore your "current" setup

I checked the backup folder but the only APK was for the facebook app itself. The HTC for Facebook backup only had a TAR file.

I tried putting CM6 on my Hero but it kept telling me something about the incorrect signature or something so I just gave up. no biggie

If you can find the APK that would be great!

No nandroid backup.
Didn't know which one your needed so i posted both that i have
The new version of Facebook installed just fine. when I install the HTC Facebook it just says "Application not installed".
No failure notice or anything. I dont know..... I may just have to deal with out it.
Hi guys, I'm a stock rom user and I've getting bored of my current screen. It looks like stock rom has less themes. And after I've go thru the theme's topic in this forum, CM7 has really attracted me with it's beautiful theme. I would like to change to CM7 and I have few question to ask before I'd really change it =)
- I heard that CM has a bug of, showing all the contacts in numbers instead of name. Is this true? Or has it fixed? Can someone list me the bugs of CM?
- Is it available to use the market app that I'm using now? If i used Mybackup to backup my phone, after I have turn it into CM, can I download back the Mybackup and then restore my things?
- What are the other features can be found on CM7? Can it overclock too?
Please provide me other relavent infos that I need to know before I turning my wildfire into CM7.
Thanks a thousand
OK to answer your question about bugs. I'm on the RC1 and haven't found any! Everything works perfectly! If you find anything let them know and it might be fixed in a nightly.
Yes you can download mybackup and then restore all your apps! I use titanium backup as it has more features but mybackup works just as well.
Other features: Loads!!! Basically everything is configurable!
When you asked if it can overclock, all ROMS can be overclocked, however you must first install an overclock kernal like HCDR.Jacob 4.1 which I use.
Hope I've been of help, if you've now got any more questions stick them below!
Things to know about before changing is that you CAN'T get any HTC apps on it, and that's really it!
Also CM doesn't have an FM radio. Don't know if Jacob will add it in the future.
first of all, thanks to djdevine2 and imlgl for the reply. much appreciated =).
@djdevine2
what do you mean by "Things to know about before changing is that you CAN'T get any HTC apps on it, and that's really it!"? only HTC apps but on the apps on the market right? what is an example of HTC apps? Htc Sense?
titanium backups can backup contacts also? i dont mind about apps, the most important thing for me is my contacts. i couldnt afford to lose any of it.
what do you mean by RC1?
@imlgl
i see no radio huh. but what does that radio worked as? I think it's not referring to the FM AM broadcast radio right?
and yeah if anyone has the full thread of installing CM7 and all the relevent stuffs, please provide me also?
I can't wait to try it out already X).
thank you very much!

Yeah, you can't install HTC apps like the HTC Camera or the HTC FM radio or the sense launcher. No titanium backup doesn't do contacts but when I created contacts I created them on google so I just log in and they're downloaded straight away.
RC1 is the best version of CM7 at the moment in terms of things working.
Answering your question to @IMLGL by radio they mean the FM radio, it will NOT work in CM7 but you can download apps that let you stream it so it's not much of a problem!
Are you rooted? I can guide you to it if you need it or I can go straight to CM7!
I'm sure you'll like CM7!
CM7 is pretty good.

Ummm Titanium Backup does do contacts. And SMS, and Calendar, etc, but it probably wont work as its moving from HTC to AOSP ROM.
Cyanogenmod.com has a wiki that details the install process, and also their own forum.
I have found a few bugs, mostly minor though and safely ignored. One that comes to mind is that when trackball centre is assigned to screen-on, it sometimes does nothing. CM7 is freakin' awesome, and so fast. Gameboid runs full speed when holding down screen unlike other rom's. And gingerbread is such an improvement! I especially love the customization in the Notifications button widget... best access to music controls when in another app!
Edit: just do a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. If the new one doesn't work out, restore nandroid and no harm done

My nandroid bootlooped once, that was fun =D
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Could you elaborate on that? I.e. how you overcame it, and what you did wrong? It's not very nice trying to scare people for no reason. I have never had a nandroid restore cause a bootloop.
Hahaha i'm not trying to scare them, it just happened. I don't know why :S, after formatting my sd card, repartitioning it and putting everything back, it was all fine. it happened when i tried to upgrade wildpuzzle, LOL.
Well yes, you should always format the swap partition (if you have one) and also do a full wipe/factory reset to erase the .android_secure folder before restoring from a nandroid backup (all under Clockworkmod). Recovery is known to be quite buggy on the Wildfire, though it's mainly with the ADB server.
@djdevine2
hey there. couldnt install htc camera, but there are others camera apps on market right?
maybe you can list me a list of apps that i should get after i change to CM7 TONIGHT<< .
my phone is rooted! android 2.2 rooted. so how do i start now?
@jonusc
hey there. =). so titanium backup is out, and then does nandroid backup contacts too? i've used mybackup and it worked quite well. so if no other suitable backup apps i guess i will just stick to it?
@kevin2516
huh huh that will encounter errors too? how often does that happen on people who did the same thing like you?
It was a rare occurrence, only happened like once or twice. But it really doesn't bother me since i'm used to flashing and restoring apps with titanium backup only takes like 20-30min. (i don't have over 100 billion apps i want) ;D

I can't tell you what apps you'll like or find useful! But I like overclock widget for overclocking and LCD density is quite cool!
I have bought MyBackup Pro, I may try it. I had a problem with TB, I backed up everything in CM7 and reinstalled fresh, but it does not restore Widgets for ADWLauncher properly
Nandroid is very different to MyBackup/TB. It takes a complete 1:1 image of your phone. Yes it does do contacts, but you cannot restore those contacts individually - you use nandroid as a complete ROM restore. Before you edit your firmware, Nandroid is used as a backup incase you want to revert. It has no use for migrating across rom's, but is the best and only way for an exact entire backup.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
actually i've found the best way to backup contacts!
just go into the phone/contacts there, press menu, export to sd card and thats done! done perfectly!
and for notes backup, i suggest you all to use OnePunchNotes. It can backup either automatically or manually, then restore it even with password. This is the best notes app that I've found so far.
for the apps i dont really care i can download it again =).
Im in CM7 now, the GUI is awesome!!!!!!! makes my phone so fresh
but just one problem, sometimes the apps will get force closed and hang, anyone knows why?
p/s: the kernal for overclock is same as stock rom? what what jacob?
Force close AND hang? They are both completely different things. Which one is it? I get no FC's, if you do try a permissions repair in ROM manager.
If you mean hanging, yes I get this too but only within first few minutes of booting up. Just press Wait and let it finish, pressing Close will make it take even longer to load. Remember that this is RC, it is still in testing stages, so there's nothing you can do except wait for a new version.
Yes, Jacob's HDCR kernel is already in CM7. It is probably best to stick with it too instead of flashing the generic one.
Under performance settings, using a 32mb heap and enabling JIT may help with hanging. Also, switching off dithering definitely helps reduce hanging. It also seems to make my emulators faster
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
so means that i can directly install SetCPU into it right? I see.
And 1 more thing, the video keeps hang, do you know why? When i start play the video then after 3 secs it hanged =(
I don't know for sure cause I don't have a Wildfire myself, but in cm7 you can change the CPU speed in Settings - CyanogenMod settings - Performance - CPU settings
it force closed =(
Finally!!! A solution that worked!!!
I DO NOT CLAIM CREDIT. I'M PROVIDING THIS FOR THE GOOD OF THE FORUM (Original post found here)
Download the Sprint VVM 5.1.0.48 Titanium Backup zip: Download attached below
Extract the Sprint VVM 5.1.0.48 Titanium Backup zip to the root of the SD card.
Download & install Titanium Backup from the Market.
Launch Titanium Backup and make sure Sprint VVM is removed (if not, use Titanium Backup to remove it).
Install the Sprint VVM (/sdcard/sprint_vvm_5.1.0.48.apk).
Launch Titanium Backup, select Sprint VVM, select Restore and select Data Only.
NOTE: There is App+Data but it doesn't work.
Launch the Sprint VVM and "Compose" a message to yourself. It will test send and receive functions of Sprint VVM.
Enjoy and report back to the XDA thread with your results.
NOTE: If the above steps do not work, try manually placing the contents of the folder (titaniumbackup) into the preexisting titanium backup folder, i.e. install the APK as instructed, but also extracting the three files within the contained folder into your titanium backup folder.
I can verify and confirm that Sprint VVM (SVVM) works under CM7 Nightly 12 with the stock kernel, using the above method.
NB: On receipt of new voicemail, a text from "9016" will be sent to your phone. I'm using the basic CM7 MMS app and haven't figured out how to stop these notification texts, but that's a minor annoyance to have SVVM back!
Holy crap - thanks! I have seen this solution before, but no one posted a backup file with it. You fixed my voicemail for the first time since I flashed the first unofficial cm7.
Thanks bro
This worked perfectly. Thank you!
Sweet! This works!
Thanks so much!
CM7-RC2
I've tried a number of versions of the VVM app without success but I'll give this one a whirl.
Thanks!!! : )

Ditto! I have tried various other techniques and this finally worked!
Would be nice if this could somehow be packaged into a single APK though. Anyone know how to do that?
it took me few times to figure out the direction since i already had titanium and i just switched to a new sd card
But, its working Thanks
Sprint vvm has always worked with cm but it is the annoying texts you get with each voicemail. You can use handcent or chomp sms and blacklist the texts fyi.
Ok so im having a hard time figuring out what im supposed to do. ill just list my steps and yea i would appreciate any help.
1. Downloaded the zip and extracted it on the root of the sd.
2. installed titanium backup
3. through TB I checked to see if there was any copy of sprint_vvm (there wasnt)
4. I found the sprint_vvm.apk and installed it.
- This is where i get lost
5. i go back to TB and look for a restore button. i see the Backup/restore tab so i assume thats
the right place. I find the app in the list but when i select it the only options i have are are to
freeze, un-install, backup, run app, and wipe data.
sorry if this seems like a dumb question but im pretty stumped.
I've seen this reposted so many times, this should be like seriously stickied! Thanks for the info though, I'm sure someone will benefit from a more recent post of this.
When you see those options you listed THATS how you uninstall it. You should first backup vvm in titamium while running a sense rom. Make sure vvm is working, backup, wipe and flash CM then follow dirs

Sprint VVM isnt open source. To avoid being taken to court things like this are left out.
Thank you for including the TB file.. my issue was I could never get TB to show any backed up VVM from a sense rom... and google voice caused a horrible wakelock when I tried using it.
If this works, will be freakin awesome... thanks again.
**edit** I think I'm gonna go ahead and delete the TB folder on my sd card that way this folder will be the only one there. I can create new backups with TB when the time comes.
Handcent can't properly block those 9016 messages I still get the notification, (not sound,) and my home widget shows the message count. The only solution is to view blacklisted items and remove them individually. Apparently it's a known bug on their site.

Yea, it has always done this to me as well. I had the notification for it but couldn't clear it and it still showed on my dockbar counter.
PITA but not as much as getting a TEXT, a notification and an email from google voice to go along with the GV wakelock I had. It is what it is I guess.

I felt like I found heaven once I saw the post and file that I referenced. It was a Godsend because SVVM is actually pretty useful (and it reminds me of the same function on the iPhone -- that was perhaps its best feature, AFAIWC).
It probably should be Sticky-ed.
MODs: how do we get this "stuck" so people can find this solution easily?
Yep, it works!!
I was trying for about an hour tonight to get Sprint Visual Voicemail back up and running on my Evo. Thank you VERY much for the awesome info and download!
I, too, can verify this method worked on my HTC Evo 4G.
Hey all,
OK, so as the title suggests.
I installed and did a backup of my contacts and apps using the MyBackup app and saved my contacts and apps to my SDCard, but they've gone walkabout! Don't ask, cos I don't know how or where they've now gone! Searched the SD card completely and there's nothing! I've since updated to 2.3.3 but MyBackup files have disappeared!
I've found I still have an old *.sbf file that was from my 1.6 to 2.1 update. Hopefully all is not lost and someone can point me in the direction of an app that can strip out the contact info/vCards from here?
Not too fussed by the apps... but a bit concerned I've lost all my contacts?
So... *.sbf app anyone??
Fingers crossed!

The exact same thing happened to me. Luckily I sync all my contacts with google and was able to use back up and restore app to restore my messages and such from an older backup I made a while ago.

I'm still hopeful there's a legacy .sbf file convertor out there somewhere (?)
I might have deleted a system app or an apk that allows my to access my contacts. Is there anything I can do?
