Root Vanilla Froyo Coming Tonight!

Mine stll says loading calendars? I used root explorer to move the apk to the /system/app/folder and still nada. Am I doing something wrong?

You need to mount the system/app folder as RW first, then copy the file there, then change the permissions.

So... first, download the BlurCalendarProvider.apk

Place it on the root of your SD card, then follow these steps:

Code: 
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/BlurCalendarProvider.apk /system/app
chmod 644 /system/app/BlurCalendarProvider.apk
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock3 /system
reboot
Should be fine afterward.

Well that was my point, that being the instructions seemed incomplete.
I moved the file there with Root Explorer though and set the folder to r/w but the Chmod line still returned file or directory not found.

In looking at hose commands I can tell what most of it does but what is Chmon 644 do and what is yaffs2 ?

**Update it seemed to work. I'm rebooting now..waiting... waiting ***

I now get the NO Calendar error :-(

**Udate # 2! ****

After going to accounts and clicking sync I now have calendars again! yeaaa!

BTW the app ADBWireless is awesome

Thanks

chmod is setting the permissions
the other lines are making the system rw so you can change the permissions
 
Did you try install apk using root explorer? I tried, it's going trough installation, and then "Application not installed" . Boomer

I knew that (kind of) I'm looking for more detail like what exactly is Chmod and the parameters and what is this part of the mount command "yaffs2" Anyways I Goggled it and now have the info I was seeking. Thanks

After I got calendars working I tried to apply a theme and in the middle of changing system back from r/w back to r/o some service failed and I couldn't get /system back to r/o. Rebooted and all I got was boot loop. Having to restore back to my last save to fix it. strange

I think I'll wait for tranquility 1.5 :o

You need to do it in adb too... won't do it in Term Emulator. It worked once I did it in ADB.

I did it this morning with ADBWireless.. Nice app btw no cables or drivers needed. Maybe that's why the chmod command worked today, last night I was using terminal emulator

yeah I applied tranquility over fly x and I get like 5 soft reboots a day. Thinking about, wiping data, cache and system then reinstalling fly x and thats it. I HATE that tranquility doesn't let you wipe the system. BTW does anyone know if you can wipe the system with fly x, I mean I looked in the zip and it had a system.

I like Full ROMs, I like wiping everything cuz it lets me know what the problems are. when you start piling everything on top it is hard to solve problems

I think you can wipe data they were just telling us we didn't have to. I did it and it worked fine. except you have to reinstall everything.

What my accounts is everyone referring to? When I open my accounts in the app drawer it only lists my emails and backup assist. No option to sync.

Edit: okay guess I don't need any sync. I just opened my accounts and all is working now. Very strange.

Go into your gmail account and you should see Sync contacts, sync gmail, sync Calendar.

Oof, sorry guys I didn't come back to this thread earlier.

Going into settings, accounts, your gmail account, and unchecking and rechecking calendars is definitely a step I left out :(

But I'm glad you guys got it working!

Let me repeat my question:

Sort of? I mean, I installed it using adb and then I have used both adb and root explorer to move it to system/app. It seems that most people are saying adb is the appropriate method for chmod, so I would say dl the apk on your comp then do the rest in adb (push the apk to /system/app then chmod it and reboot). Also make sure you go into your gmail and uncheck and check again.
