remove the old one and reinstall from the market.
Will it send you notifications like the IPHONE APP? Thats the one feature I wish it had. Also why still not chat?
I don't chat often but its nice to have an all in one app. Fbchat is okay.

yep, fresh check fresh updater. rebooting after applying update now.

Yeah, it's not a whole lot better. But, it works faster, better and is cleaner and easier to use. Now it uses the touch.facebook.com site, too, which is a slight improvment over the mobile.facebook.com site.

new look of facebook apk
heres the apk
whoever cant get it to download it.

Definitely an improvement, but still missing push updates and clicking on a notification still takes me to Facebook touch on the web instead of keeping me in the app. Still fail.

Is it just me, or is this new Facebook (on EVO running stock Froyo OTA) causing pretty serious wake-lock issues? If I look at battery history in Spare Parts it shows that it has a partial wake-lock for almost the entire time that my phone has been booted, which is causing the phone to sleep very little...draining the battery very fast. I do have the automatic update disabled, but have the widget on a homescreen. Can anyone else corroborate this?

Installed just fine on CM6 for me. It fixes the CM6 native sync issue, so no more hacked Facebook.apk needed! Oh, and it still isn't anywhere near as nice as the iPhone version. All of the notifications open in the browser, and you don't have as many options in the main menu. Even the BlackBerry version is better.

It is nice, I'm happy, the old FB was trash. Still a long way to go to catch the iPhone but its a good start.

Just got my G2 whowhoo!! What should i do?

what are apps i need and what does rooting do i was just reading that one click temp root
any advice thanks alot i am also new to rooting

Let me first say, CONGRATULATIONS!
At the beginning, forget rooting.
Here is what I did:
1. Mess with all Android settings.
2. Put tons of music, videos, photos, roms, etc, onto memory card.
3. Set ringtone, wallpaper, organize homescreen, and do "basic" customization.
4. Set up Google Voice(most people don't have this as a main step, but I do since I love this app )
5. Download must-have apps(for me gameboid is one), install, and set them up.
6. Sync all accounts, get contacts on the phone.
7. Disable things you will not use, such as the photobucket app.
8. Whatever you want, now you can root
While doing this, I would recommend running the battery from 100% to 0% and using a battery measuring app such as battery left inorder to "calibrate" your battery. Whether this is a myth or fact on whether it improves your battery life, since I see people arguing on this a lot, it can't hurt to do it.

He pretty much covered it.
Just enjoy the phone and have fun with it bro.

you might also want to get an invisible shield or a case of some sort to protect the phone as well

If you don't like bloatware, take a look at this thread.
Honestly, doing temp root on the G2 is absurdly easy with the VISIONary app (mentioned in that thread).

so what exactly is the point of a ROOT what will i be able to do other than overclock?

Heres what you do send it back and wait for the Mytouch 4g.

Have you clicked on the "problems" key in the homepage of Titanium? It's prompt you to download the latest version on busybox, press yes. Also is superuser giving it permission.

I saw that it had busybox, but you are correct, that fixed it... Thanks...
As for waiting for another phone, i cant seem to keep a phone for more then 5 months anyway, i am always changing...
for now, the new toy is a G2, and i must say i like it

yeah, it's good

Hey everyone, I have the phone rooted but can't seem to find a wifi tethering app which works good on G2. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Launcher Pro on MT4G?

Is it me, or is Launcher Pro not working right on this phone? I'll set as my default, but everytime I hit the home key it keeps bringing me back to my Sense home. Errr... please don't tell me that I can't use LP.

=O does adw launcher work?

thats odd
LauncherPro is working perfectly for me! Check and be sure you made it your default.

Of course I've been setting it as the default, it's just not sticking for me. It keeps forcing me to Sense.

Uninstall it and re-install LP again, backup its settings if you'd like before uninstalling so that you can restore them after re-installing.
It's working perfectly on my end.

Works perfect here as well.

Works great on mine as well.

Working with no issues.

Clear the defaults of HTC Sense and hit home again. It should prompt you for the home default.

Anything particular that you had to do to get it work correctly, beyond what was suggested in this thread?
Also, I didn't want to create a new thread for this, but I just got back form the TMO store where I looked at the MT4G and the G2. Trying to decide if either is a good replacement for my Droid 1. Obviously, I'll be waiting for full permanent root on both before buying.
If you install LP or ADW, how much of that awful UI on the MT4G is removed/covered?
Random side note, on their live G2s, all the screens hung from the body when the phone was held upside down. Is that normal? All the G2 I've looked at are like that, but they've always been demo models and have been handled by who knows how many people.

No problems for me either

works FINE for me with no problems whatsoever! ADW launcher, now that is another story....very buggy on mine!

LP seems to work fine on my end even after last nights OTA update to 2.2.1

Nope, just remove/clear your preferred launcher, hit home, check the box to remember default, them select LP as your launcher.

Um, all of it. That's the whole point in installing a replacement - you choose to use one or another.

I think they're all like that, just how the hinge mechanism works, but you're probably never gonna holds it like that anyway during normal use. However, that would keep me from buying (prefer candybars anyway). Very happy w/the Glacier, though the battery kind sucks on mine.

Carrier IQ

All right the company Carrier IQ is suddenly popping up in news stories everywhere. I assume I am safe from this garbage if I am using Cyanogenmod but how do I make sure my Wife's shift is clean of this if she's using Stock rooted 2.2? She will not let me change roms or even upgrade her to 2.3 so I would like to know what I need to delete to make sure Carrier IQ is not installed on her Shift or at least not sending any info back to it's mother ship.
If you haven't heard Carrier IQ is installed on millions of phones of different manufacturer's and is supported by many carriers including HTC and Sprint. It collects data and sends it back to Sprint or who knows who. Apparently it can log everything and it ignores any permissions or security you have set up or something like that. It is installed "invisibly" and you do not have the option to opt in or out. I assume Titanium or some other program can see the pieces I would need to delete but I don't know what they are.
Here's where I read about it and it does list an app that may be able to take care of it but I would rather know how to do it manually:

lol jk about the divorce part but seriously I just watched that video and im so glad im not on stock sense.

Flash MikShifted G v1.76 or Supreme Sense, then hand her back the phone. If she doesn't like them better than stock there is something wrong

i think people over think things too much about these little threats

I think he already mentioned that yes she does have root on stock if you read the OP. So yes titanium backup should be able to remove it no problem. Use the app carrier IQ detector to find out how much of it needs to be removed.

CIQ is built into the kernel too. He needs to swap kernels as well as remove the apps.

I looked at the kernel. All there is in the kernel is bug fixes to allow CIQ to run properly. If you remove the system apps there is nothing for the bug fixes in the kernel to use.

i'm using a stock rooted rom and kind of want to stick with it.

Polished

I've been using and making custom roms for several years starting back in the Windows Mobile days on the xv6700 and can honestly say this is the first device that I haven't wanted to put a custom rom on. The stock touchwiz UI and included/available samsung software is really polished and the battery life is incredible. I obviously rooted it and fixed a bunch of minor annoyances with xposed framework, but aside from that I don't think I'm going to make/flash a rom unless sprint gets really behind on future android builds.
Anyone else feel the same way?

No. I'd like to try cm or a smoother rom. I get lag on stock.

I agree with the OP on the smoothness... and also with you that a rom or two eventually would be nice.. but how are you getting lag?
Stock Rooted with Xposed and a minor build.prop edit and i have no lag what so ever. Sometimes the phone actually moves faster than what my thumbs were expecting. Just curious.

I should be more specific. The lag tgat I experience is in either Google hangouts, Google now search and sometimes when switching apps from the app switcher. The lag in hangouts and Google search is when I type I gets lots of lag. I've tried different keyboards and they all lag. I've had this same issue on the Note 3 and it only went away when I switched to cm11 for the note 3.

Ah. Gotcha. I always remove Hangouts and i dont bother with the Google Voice/Search. Maybe someone else can shed some light on the issue.

I'm a fan of touchwiz. Like others I get the occasional lag but it isn't nearly as earth shattering as Samsung haters make it out to be.
Xposed has also become my weapon of choice for fixing minor annoyances.
Also I don't use google search but did get a little bit of lag in Hangouts. My problem was the LG G3 keyboard I installed. Since removing it, I haven't noticed the lag as much.

Lolliipop keyboard works fine woth no lag. Never use Hangouts. This 2-3 second lag on the recent apps that some ppl report , i have not experienced. Once i edited build prop after xposed ive encountered no lag anywhere. None. And the battery life is superb.

I think the wanam option under 'security hacks' to 'disable secure storage' fixes the lag too (I believe it basically has the same effect as the build prop edit).
So just install xposed, then the wanam module and go turn on the setting.
