Getting Google "CLOUD" Music Sync working on the Fascinate (Froyo, not tested on 2.1)
Figured out how to get google music sync working on the fascinate and decided to share it with everyone!
Tested and working on DarkREVENGE v1 (and I assume v2) and Super Clean 2.8 however I suspect this will work on many roms and devices! doubt this will work on any 2.1 devices seeing as the APK is 2.2+ sorry for those of you running 2.1..
Now tested on MiUi Fascinate 1.2.25 and confirmed working!!
IMPORTANT: Your music must be set up like this sd/media/music if it is not located there it will not be uploaded to the cloud!
Known issue(s) You cannot manage your "cloud" just yet there is no web interface yet and i'm assuming this is still in the "testing" phase.
Now lets get to the fun!
Install this apk (adb push or install as a normal APK) make sure that Music.apk is deleted already if not go ahead and do that right now.

You should see "Music & "Jumpertest" after installing.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
go to account settings and to your google account you should now see "Sync Music" PRESS IT! and let it sync.
When that is done go into your app drawer and open up "Jumpertest" click on the "Controls" tab
Don't forget to click the "Accounts" tab and check off your gmail account it should ask for permissions (you will see an upside-down triangle with a !) in the status bar.
Next click on "Start Peer" it should work IF you do get an FC try reinstalling the apk or maybe rebooting IF you get a "authtoken error" go back into account settings and click on "Sync Music" again and try again!
(if all went well you should see "Peer started")
Next go ahead and click on "Import Local Media"
(once again if all went well you should see "Import complete")
Now that is all setup and time to access your music on the "CLOUD"
Go ahead and open up the Music app
Press the "Menu" softkey on your Fascinate to bring up the menu popup and select "Library Options" and after that select "Streaming Only"
(If you are not a complete newb or illiterate) you should now see your music that is on the cloud! Yay for clouds
If it did not work this means you are likely incapable of following directions that a five year old probably could and you should not have a rooted device!
However if it does not work and you are 9000% sure you did everything correct please list what rom you are on and method of installing the apk.
Hope you all enjoy and give me thanks if you found this helpful
If you can't take the harsh sarcasm (not really) in this post then please get off XDA and do not attack me on this thread.. do you guys not have anything better to do? if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all! Thanks.

What are the perks to doing this and how long does it normally take to sync the music? I would think that would take a really long time....

Was pretty fast for me and the perks are being able to access your music from the cloud and bigger storage space than an SD card if you don't mind moving your music collection in "waves" to your SD card as I said this is not final but it's working and working well until we get something more "official"

after hitting "Import Local Media" providing your music is in the correct file structure /sd/media/music it should start syncing it also if anyone is having "slow" syncing try over wifi please.

Hey "bro" why don't you lay off your high horse. DiGi is learning and progressing, not seeing anything come from you, but yet you want to sit here and say he has an attitude??
1. If you felt the need to look at this post (not being a mod) then this interest you, so shut it and if you dont like it, then move along.
2. IRC is a place for chat and learning hint the abbreviation "Internet Relay Chat". It doesn't say "yes were going to be nice to you and hold you hand", once again get off your high horse.
3. Quit being a **** on the forums, yeah you're cool. How about this, quit dishing hate on others work, unless you take time out to work on something your self, and then have tons of questions asked to you, and see how frustrating it becomes. I highly doubt he was being a "****" or "juvenile" about anything, it's just the way you seemed to take it.
At this time, there is not a way to get it from your desktop to the cloud. Seeing as how you are not even supposed to do this yet..... that feature has not been implemented lol
BTW, anyone calling digi bad names is a complete douche, I <3 digi, he has never acted like an ass or anything that I have EVER seen..
Oh, and thank you Digi

You would have to plug your phone into your PC, transfer the music to the proper folder you have setup for this app and then synch. All music in that folder will be uploaded to Google's servers so you can access it at anytime from the APP.

VERSION 1.0.1 WITH BUGFIXES:
Some people have had some trouble with the previous version of this app, so I have made some fixes. I'm pretty sure that if any of the problems that have been reported recur, it's because of the way VooDoo deals with disabling itself.
The link below is now to the current version.
Thanks again for everyone's patience and support!
Hi all.
I've just created my first Android app, and I hope the folks here might find it useful.
It has two functions:
1) it detects the presence or absence of the /sdcard/voodoo directory (and thus the presence or absence of Voodoo), and allows the user to toggle Voodoo on or off.
2) it allows the user to reboot, either a normal reboot or a reboot to recovery with a single button press.
Naturally, it requires root access.
I've found this is a pretty easy way to switch Voodoo on and off when flashing ROMs, kernels, and all that stuff.
I know there is something similar on the Market, but I wanted to make my own as a learning experience, and I also wanted a "Reboot to Recovery" button.
This one is also free, and the source is available on github (I'm sure my code sucks, but I honestly don't know why. If someone were to feel like explaining it to me, I'd sure appreciate it! ).
The usual installation procedures apply:
Method 1:
Download the file below to a location on your local computer in your $PATH and type:
adb install RebootButton.apk
Method 2:
Drop the file below to a location on your SD card and navigate to it using Astro, Root Explorer or another file manager (these are the two I use). In Astro, click on the file, then select "App Manager" then "Install"
In Root Explorer, select the file, then select "Install".
That's it.
Here it is:
http://www.zennmaster.com/Android/RebootButton.apk
I'll be sending this to the Market as soon as I can whip up an icon.
Suggestions and feedback are more than welcome!
I wish to sincerely thank all those very smart folks, around here and on IRC, for all the inspiration they didn't even know they were giving me, as well as all the cool toys that created the need for this app in the first place!
The application and the source code are both hereby released under the GPL.

The App won't uninstall Voodoo completely, it just creates and removes the correctly named file from the appropriate directory.
What sort of problems have you been having creating the disable_lagfix file?

So basically it just adds the disable_lagfix file in sdcard/voodoo folder?
Still someone will benefit from that.
So in practice hitting the voodoo off creates the file and places it on sdcard and reboot obviously reboots, wait 10 minutes and voila
Still thats two clicks and done, a nice move for the lazy or the ignorant not meant to be disrespectful, ignorant simple means lacking knowledge
Just installed but haven't used it yet.
Quick question (since i'm still new to all of this.) When rooting and installing lag fix on my SF a couple days ago, the instructions I followed did not include making a nandroid backup. If I use the app to disable lag fix, can I create a nandroid backup and then re-enable lag fix using the app?

AFAIK, the Voodoo kernels we know and love can only disable the lagfix by looking for that file.

Exactly.
To be honest, I think a lot of the trouble people around here have been having with disabling the lagfix has been with what essentially amounts to typos. Getting the file name wrong, or putting it in the wrong place will only lead to frustration and Voodoo enabled. Automating the process takes out a lot of opportunity for error. At the very least, like you say, two clicks and done is a lot less work.

The lit up buttons with no screen, and it doesn't reboot completely. Then I have to Odin a few times and redo the clean update quite a few times, get all the force closes, redo it all again, then it finally, magically, works. Those gremlins get me sometimes. Again, thanks for all this, I'll test it when my patience comes back and let you know.
This is useful. Thank you.
Hey Saps, a little off-topic I know but...where did you get the circle battery mod? I'm running bubby's Magic ASOP and I really like the black mod. I installed what was supposed to be just the circle mod from one of the themes but it gave me the whole theme. I like how yours apparently shows the "red,yellow,green" based on charge. How do I apply just that mod without changing bubby's black mods?
Grab it now! It's my favorite keyboard.
Amazon appstore users are on a roll.
Thanks for that!

SwiftKey is pretty amazing at word prediction. I barely typed to send this message.
I kinda like it, but the backspacing irritates me that it wont go faster by holding. I understand the swiping back thing to do a word at a time, but that's annoying. Maybe I'm missing something in the settings...
I still prefer the GB keyboard or Swype when driving.

Curse you Amazon!!
Interesting... do you have an Amazon account? I just logged in with my Amazon account and it worked fine. Try signing up on amazon.com first and then try logging in. Maybe Amazon requires a credit card... not sure.
I'm starting to not like the Amazon Appstore. And I'll tell you why.
1st to use apps downloaded from them, it seems you must have a data connection (Angry Birds Rio confirmed, others suspected). ABR drains battery at 2 to 3 times of other AB games, and part of that I think is the connection polling continuously.
2nd I can't seem to remove apps from my download list after I uninstall them, and apps I happen to replace with their Market versions cause Appstore to continuously inform me that they need an update.
3rd Can't shut off update notifications.
I've emailed Amazon, and was told it was forwarded to the Appstore Dev team, but who knows if any of it will actually be addressed
Oh, and SwiftKey won't work for me for some reason, I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

Yeah you MUST have a credit card added on your account to download any app... even free ones.
That's a big down for Amazon.
Teens have android too and most teens don't use credit cards.
Loss for Amazon.
And seeing the bugs and things done by Amazon on tthe post above mine... I don't think I'd use it too often I just wanted to try out Rio

That's some interesting observations. May be it's just ABR instead of all other apps but I will try to find out.
I think the download list is also your purchase history. That's why you can't remove them. Amazon should have them as 2 separate lists though.
-----------
You NEED a credit card to register for an Amazon account. It has nothing to do with the app being free or not.

Your still forgetting its still fairly new. If teens don't have credit cards what's the point of having amazing remove that restriction?
Another thing I don't think the free app a day won't last long. Maximum would be a month.

I was just speaking from living in an area full of 20 something year old girls who text while driving their Escalades.
I'm also curious how long the fee-app-a-day thing goes on.
So you guys think amazon app is a battery drainer huh...well so far I've downloaded swiftkey and that's all, pretty cool looking keyboard, and I must say that it does predict words better than any other keyboard I've ever used.
Well, if it DOES battery drain it's going to be a deal breaker for me...
OP thanks for the info.

I think it might still go on, right now their giving out brand-new-good apps like rio, and swiftkey... right?Their just starting out so they want to attract more users, which its working.
Then it'll go to random apps that no one likes, and people will probably just leave the amazon app on their phone waiting for another free app.
If they did remove the credit-card thing even for free apps, maybe people would still use it, like me.
Does anyone know of any themes or skins for swiftkey? An all black one would be nice.
I also find it a little too tall for my tastes. In 200 dpi, however, it's the perfect height. I have been unable to quickly type on the gingerbread keyboard ports because they are far too short in 200 dpi. I love Swype, don't get me wrong, but I still find myself wanting to type most of the time.

Edit, as of October 3, I'd suggest holding off on the 3.1.6 Market update. Could be fishy. It's signed differently than Google does. Mine below are fine.
EDIT: The new market is cool and all, but I have noticed that if I have multiple google accounts, it switches back and forth... which is REALLY annoying. If you notice issues, go to menu > accounts and make sure your primary is selected. Other than this, it is great.
EDIT 2: there is now a 3.1.5 - the bug mentioned above still exists
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR 3.1.5
If you had 3.1.3, it may just auto-update for you.
---------- below is older information for 3.1.3 --------------
You can thank @MastaTM (XDA: Official_Master) for the new Market (3.1.3)
http://www.multiupload.com/41FQ6PQ3MS
The below is litterally pasted from androidpolice (again, they are on point). I bolded what is new.
Wow, Google is on a roll with the Android Market lately. Since the release of Market v3.0, a number of small updates have come to the Android Market recently, but this is by far the biggest yet. Google has added the long-awaited +1 functionality to the Android Market (which has been on the web version of the Market for quite some time), along with a few other goodies.
There's a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately).
There are also 2 brand-new Market icons to spruce things up a bit (within the Market itself - unfortunately, the app drawer icon is still the same).
For convenience's sake, the size in megabytes of each app, along with its latest update date, have been moved from the bottom of descriptions to the top of individual app pages, which is a very useful change in our book.
Moving on to the thumbnail navigator, Google added a long-overdue sliding transition - a nice touch that makes the Market feel more polished.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use an optional custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have - and really, it makes a lot of sense.
You'll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.

Installing Android Market APK
Could use a little help here. Put a new ROM on my wife's phone, but for some reason, it doesn't have the Market on it. Every time I download the APK for the Market though, it asks me if I want to assign an account to it, which I choose Yes, and then it closes. I'm going to keep working on it, but if anyone has any ideas, please help!

Same issue here more it less. Working apps wont update. Says incompatible. My issue is due to change to LCD density. My solutionw was simple. Stopped using new market. Every time it updates I uninstall the update.

Just had the market update to 3.1.5 a few minutes ago, but I don't see any differences. Anyone know what changed?

Can you upload it? I did not know there was an update. Curious if it fixes the account switching bug in .3.
EDIT: nevermind... it does not fix the bug.
thank you, this new is better ;D
2.xx is better. 3.xx is too slow and laggy
Someone in the General apps forum uploaded what they claim is version 3.1.6. I pushed it into system/app and over wrote vending.apk but I still have version 3.1.5. Others are reporting success, though. Saying it looks a little more polished.
Edit: Removed link due to suspicious nature of this "update". Search it out and install it on your own, but I've restored my nandroid backup and am done with it until more is known about it.

It seems that because of an Apple lawsuit, all links (YouTube, Play Store, etc) open in the web browser instead of their respective apps. It no longer gives an option to choose like it did in gingerbread. This drove me nuts and I searched around the internet for a fix. I hope this helps someone with the same problem.
1) Delete HtcLinkifyDispatcher.apk using System Tuner or Root Explorer (apk located in /system/app). Note: Freezing the apk won't work, it needs to be removed.
2) Reboot phone
3) Clear defaults for browser in Settings/Apps

So THAT is why.. I always wondered if I could safely remove that APK from my old rom, now I wish I had. Like apple owns the RIGHTS to apps getting utilized.. I'll probably figure it out later, but this doesn't actually break the app association function in system settings right?
Mainly this post is a bump for your thread, this is good to know, and I think this apk is still being included in all the roms..
You can also remove the app using titanium backup.
Thanks

Why not just use app associations in the settings menu?
I stand corrected... MrMako posted THIS LINK and when I clicked it, it gave me option for play store app

The app associations in the settings is incomplete. Try opening a YouTube link on your phone without this tweak and it will force it open in the browser instead of giving it an option to open it in the YouTube app.
The reason HTC added the app associations in the settings menu is to get around an Apple patent that is being enforced by the ITC (thus the delay in customs for HTC ONE X at the US customs). Apple owns a patent which allows intelligent app associations by knowing which app to open by reading the link. HTC lost that in the courts so we get a workaround that is not as good as the old option.
This is not a big deal for most people but I hate the YouTube mobile site and would rather want my YouTube links to open in the app.

Mine still opens in the browser, even after clearing caches, to be honest, I think the app htclinkify or whatever the name is happens to be the app that links contacts, but I may be wrong.
Well guess I'm the only unlucky one, lol.

Worked for me!
You sir, are a flippin' genius! Also, Apple are a bunch of asshats, but that's nothing new.
Just curious, those who have completed this mod, can you click on a phone number or email (check both please) and the phone bring up either the dialer or new email to compose? I tested it and these stopped functioning as the links call the app that is renamed/deleted.
Thanks!!

Clicking phone number does bring up a dialer for me and clicking an email link brings up an option to choose.
Try clearing the defaults for Mail/Gmail and dialer and that might solve your problem.

I'd have to test it, but I don't use gtalk.. but since gtalk is a purely google app, I doubt it would have problems from deleting a HTC specific file. I would go ahead and stop the app, delete the files in system settings, or if that doesn't work uninstall and reinstall the app..
As I said, there is no reason that gtalk should have problems after this..
I just tried this and none of the links open now. When I try for example to open a link from Reddit News, nothing happens. It doesn't open it with youtube app or the browser. Nothing happens at all
EDIT: Seems like freezing the app with titanium backup doesn't work. I uninstalled it and it works fine now
Thanks OP

I found the same to be true about freezing the app.
From what I have experienced, this occurs with the stock browser. I installed Dolphi Browser and I am able to open maps with the maps/navigation app, as well as click numbers and it opens in the phone app. Maybe something to consider.
Sort of easy fix is to install the google chrome beta and make that default. When i click on links on that browser (or even facebook) it asks again. Thank GOD!!!
Question. I don't really mind the fact that the linkify dispatcher exists, and the benefits of removing it don't outweigh the drawbacks for me. But I am darn tired of seeing it showing up in my multitasking menu. Looks unprofessional and tacky.
So, my question is: how can I hide HTCLinkifyDispatcher from the multitasking menu without actually removing it?

I've yet to see a benefit to keeping it, so I don't know why you'd want to keep it. Remove it, then it is a non issue.

Ok For a couple months now Ive been getting a very annoying nag everytime I download a new app from the play store. Basically I click download and I get a pup up nag that says "enjoy your app, if you ever forget your password we can restore your access...blah blah.tell us how we can contact you" or something to that effect. I don't want them to contact me and I'm not going to forget my password..I just want to turn the nag off......Ive checked the settings and I haven't found a way to do it. Ive also searched here and all over the web and cant seem to find anything.
Any help?

Can you take a screen shot of it please, I've never seen that before.
I second what @mjones73 said... I haven't gotten that ever, grab a screen shot so we can take a look at it.
A little preliminary stuff, have you ran Addons Detector to see if there is some push stuff going on?

I cant get a screen shot, I accidentally hit continue on it and then cancelled it....if I do that it goes away for a little while but comes back. As for the addons detectors no I havent I can try but this has been happening on multiple ROMs and I just reflashed the phone.

And what happens when you hit continue? It believe it's just asking you to add additional verification options to your google account.

Why? You should have verification setup even if you have it toggled off in your Google account settings. I believe this is also information needed to do a password reset if needed, so it's actually kind of important.

loki,
Am getting the screen once in a while. Like you, I do not intend to provide google/gmail with my phone number voluntarily as well. In my case, when I got the screen, I went to the settings and killed play store(Force Stop). That screen disappeared when I installed a new app using play store App again.

Hello.
I also have this all the time i update or install a new application using the play store. I dont think you can turn this off unless you give google what it wants.
I personally say "F**k you google you piece of sh*t, i aint givin you nothing" and hit the back button every time.

I finally gave in and did it and it went away. Pretty sure google already has my phone number anyways. Still kind of messed up though considering all of the hacking and data spills happening lately...I don't totally feel comfortable giving ANYONE my info lately.
In my case, I log into the gmail account associated with the phone on a Desktop using browser. My guess is that google wants to make sure that the primary account associated with the phone is active. Still it sucks that everything considered personal are now targeted information for Corporates like Google.

of course they have all this information, the point here is with your approval they legitimize it; they come clean. in practice but unfortunately none of it matters.
google is a disgrace and it blemished "open source".
I have to agree, yet another data-mining ploy by Google.
Anyway, I seem to have (at least temporarily) stopped this notification by hitting continue, then deleting the pre-filled phone number and then backing out of the recovery options screen.
We'll see if it comes back. I too have no interest in giving out more personal information than is absolutely necessary to make my phone work.
