Facebook for HTC Widget - EVO Shift 4G General

I've noticed that everytime I install a sense ROM I seem to lose the ability to use the Facebook HTC Widget. Right now I'm running the Mikshift Gingerbread/Sense beta and I can't find it. I can setup the account for Facebook for HTC as well as the facebook account for android. This also seems to happen with NFX's roms and any other stock rom. I really like the way the widget looks and was just wondering if there is any way to get it back.

What about using the FriendStream widget? It's twice the size (4 x 4, vs 4 x 2 of the facebook widget), but it's scrollable, and you can update "What's on your mind?", and reply to friend's comments.

I may just try that, thanks for the idea. Never really looked into friendstream.

[request] Stock Android Dialer for 2.1

Would it be possible for anyone to post the stock android dialer found on Nexus One?
Thx.
Hopefully the right one.
I think thats the HTC dialer isnt it?
Nope, It's from a Nexus dump i believe.
Blue phone icon, same as Nexus.
Thx, will try later.
Sadly, it doesn't work. It says phone.android.com not found.
You just wanna have the Icon? Serach for "SMS unread count" App in the Market. It has the icons for gmail sms and phone + widget support witht he little iphone like counters etc. you know?
Its a good App!
greets
That is the 2.1 update1 stock phone/dialer app from Nexus. I doubt you can install it to a stock ROM, maybe even a mod ROM.
Like nodq said, if you just want the icon, use something from the market.

I don't need the icon, this would be pretty silly, I wanted to use the dialer, because I like it better than the Sense one. I know DailerOne is similar, but still to confusing, with all the swyping gestures.
Ahh, then I think the only way to get that is either play around with the file and make it compatible, or flash a ROM with it.
Don't like DialerOne either, its too much effort just to find contacts.

Issues with Sense FroYo apps?

First of all, I apologise if this is meant to go in general, so mods can move it, and also if this has been asked before.
Anyway, I can't install Google Sky Maps, comes up with 'Unknown Error -18' and I can install Sense note widget either.
The thing that confuses me more is that I can install any app from CM6/Vanilla FroYo rom (Contacts, Car Home, Home Tips (br0 tips as it is on CM6) and even the CyanogenMod settings. Granted, I can only get to the CM settings via bettercut, and I don't think that most/any work, but still, its strange I can install it at all, right?
Just wondering if anyone has the reason for the strange behaviour.
Cheers

Well i know for a fact that the HTC Widgets like notes will not install on even a 2.1 eclair rom so that's why they still don't install on 2.2.
So its within the rom that allows the widget? I believe its included in LeeDroid.

Backing up touchwiz calendar to google calendar?

Unless im missing something....is there a way to back up things I add to touchwiz into my google calendar...everytime i add to my things to my touchwiz calendar and then try and back them up using the google sync they never show up in my gmail calendar online.
Sorry posted this is the wrong area. Mod please move it.
You have to choose your g mail calendar each time you set up an entry.. sucks

One of the reasons I switched to Jorte; it allows me to put things directly onto my google calendar.
Thanks...I didn't know you could set what calendar it uses

I've been looking at that one. Will probably try it when I have more time. I'm really, really happy with the phone right now even with the couple minor annoyances and not sure I want to trade "know problems" for potentially unknown problems.

Z4 Mod help

Howdy,
I am new to rooting but did some research before pulling the trigger.
I followed the instructions located at droid life. I would post a URL but since I am new I cant.
But I have been stuck at the Z4 MOD screen with the rotating circle for about 20 mins now. Help please....
Sometimes a reboot and try again does the trick.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Just let it go until it stops spinning (took me about 20-25 minutes) pull the battery, reboot, try again. It will be almost instant the second time
If you still don't have any luck, make sure to go into settings-->Applications--> development--> USB debugging. Make sure that usb debugging box is checked.
If that still doesn't help, try putting the phone into AIrplane mode and then try running z4root.

When I did it to mine I was also in airplane mode. You might want to try that
Ok thanks for the help. I waited about 40 mins and then closed the program and rebooted the phone. It took only 30 seconds and it was done..
So now that I have that done I loaded liberty 1.5
I also downloaded adw launcher as I heard it was pretty good.
My problem now is I cannot get it to set up my two other email accounts (hotmail and another ) like I had before. I also cannot get it to link some of my existing contacts to my facebook contacts (basically double contacts)
What am I doing wrong?

Ok so I deleted adw launcher and went back to the liberty controls. Doing that allowed me to join contacts into one. So one problem solved.
But I still cannot get my emails to work. I enter in all the info and I get this message : "unable to open connection to server"
Also I cannot find the original messaging widget that I had on the phone before. It basically was a large widget that had a preview of my text messages.
My email widget is missing as well...
Thanks for your help
When you installed liberty, you removed all of the stock apps aka blur apps. Liberty uses all aosp apps which do not haves the blur elements. This may explain why you can't do the email and it is why you don't have the messaging widget. If you still want the messaging widget I recommend you try gosms or hancent
Handcent is the way to go for sure. And honestly you should get a gmail account. It just makes sense if you use a Droid. Plus go into liberty tool box - addons and you can put back some of the blur stuff. I recommended the blur camera because the stock liberty camcorder doesn't support hd. Good luck!

Thanks. I do have a GMail account but do not do much emailing with it.
I will check out handcent.
Next question is my facebook widget is not keeping updated like it should. On the main widget screen you can scroll through new posts from all of your friends but for some reason it is not updating them. If I click on the widget it loads my facebook and everything is recent.
Any ideas?
Hmm not sure I don't use the Facebook widget. I use the twidroyd widget instead. I had the same problem but it got fixed when the app had a new update. Are other people having that problem? Might be the app. Try seesmic I hear they added Facebook support. He's the guy that made ping.FM so you know it's decent. Maybe check your app update settings and make sure its getting content.

There was an update and after it downloaded it seems to be updating again.
Thanks
After I turn the phone on in the morning it goes to that "dos like" screen where you can backup and restore, update, etc etc. It says clockwork mod recovery on the bottom. I usually click the first option and the phone resets and loads fine.
What is going on?
Also I would like a clock widget similar to the stock digital one. I like how the stock one would change weather forecasts when I changed citys.

The dos-like screen is a hikacked recovery for the X. It may seem like a hassle to always have to tell the phone to boot normally, but the one time that it bricks or has issues, then this recovery console will.be q blessing.

So this is normal?
Is there any other backup I need to do on a regular basis? I used backstrap before I started doing a whole lot
Bump, any help?
You could make a nandroid back up once a month or however often you make major changes to your system.

GingerBlur Contact widget problems

Hi all,
I hope this is the right place. I've recently flashed GingerBlur on 4.1.83 (great rom by the way) but I've run into a small issue. The old Motorola contact widget doesn't work anymore and I can't find a suitable free replacement.
This is very inconvenient for me. I like to keep all frequently used contacts on one home screen and have the Facebook photos displayed with the ability to call or txt from the widget. Can any of you think of a way I can accomplish this via a marketplace widget, or a way to get my old moto contact widget back?
Thanks a ton folks. Also I'm a complete n00b.
