[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
RE: param.tar

Hey Bejda, this worked fine for me. I flashed the Android, Samsung, and Semaphore logos. My Captivate is on i9000JVB bootloaders and running JB 4.2.2. It would be nice to get my custom logo (73728 bytes) into a flashable .tar file like that, but I don't mind the extra few minutes it takes going the stock gingerbread method in this thread. Only have to do it once anyway to get the logo in there. Nice work :good:
[Captivate Android Development] Bejda:
Thank you, really ;)

Once you're on stock ginger and your logo is pushed to /mnt.lfs type this on terminal emulator:

dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/odin/param.lfs bs=4096

You'll have a dump of your current param.lfs on your sd,you'll just have to .tar it (or use as it is if Heimdall) to have your own ready to flash logo that will work both on stock ginger and aosp ginger/ICS/JB.

(To get working Odin's .tar on windows i always used iZarc)
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
RE: param.lfs dump

I'm already back on JB- would this output still work? Guess I'll try it, find out, and report back- thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] Bejda:
I don't think it will and first you would have to find the corresponding block as we(i) don't have /dev/block/stl6 on aosp ..and even if , the proprietary fs will surely prevent you to do so.

I already tried a little,I once had a modem.bin dump,next time I named output param.lfs but it probably was sdcard block lol (I had to stop the process cause i began having a huge param.lfs file on my sd).

You could type "mount" command in terminal emulator to know which block are corresponding to which partition but I'm pretty sure you won't see something like /mnt/.lfs
[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
RE: param.lfs dump

Yes that makes complete sense, which is why we needed this entire method for ICS/JB in the first place, of course. Thanks again. Won't take long to flash back to stock and I would like to try this- instead of flashing a blank param.lfs and then pushing a logo, maybe I could just flash this custom param.lfs that I have output (outputted...?) instead. Details to follow-
[Captivate Android Development] Bejda:
That's it,once on ginger and your personal logo already pushed to mnt/.lfs the dump you'll make will include new logo and will be flashable on both stock ginger and aosp/jb/ics.

Actually I just found out this yesterday night. I already knew that dump command,already searched a little that way if it could help me understanding things but only got inspiration to try it on ginger yesterday,now i know where comes from that Google logo param.lfs I've been editing lately :) (size is the same,1.25mb).

A param.lfs extracted from a stock firmware (~650ko) won't work under aosp (softbrick,only download mode) but a mnt/.lfs dump made on ginger yes.

Hm, beware of the command line I quoted here,there's a /sdcard/odin folder in the output way so if no odin folder on your sd it won't work, just output to /sdcard root or any other folder you want ;)

i have a rooted htc evo 4g with clockwork mod and cm7.0.2.1. i tried flashing a steelblue theme for it and it installed fine but my phone rebooted showed the boot splash image and then goes to a black screen, vibrates 5 times, and a green notification light keeps flashing. i did a battery pull went in to bootloader and it says

I did make a backup and went into recovery to try and do a restore but my phone wont read the sd card even when i manually mount it in clockwork. but if i do a fastboot while the phone is plugged in i can boot up the phone like normal but it still wont read the sd card, it acts like there isnt one present. and i still have superuser and it works but i thought S-on meant it was unrooted. i tried changing it at the sprint store but they wont change it because it has a custom splash image when i boot the phone i tried flashing the stock image in the bootloader but it wont aknowledge the updated PC36IMG plz help atleast getting me back to the stock boot splash would be greatly appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] TecHNieK:
also would like to add that ive tried 3 different sd cards and my phone wont awknowledge them either, when i plug it into my computer it will sometimes mount but wont show that it is, the computer would only make the sound as if something was plugged in
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_kwa:
so i just made a usb host cable.

connected red/red, white/white, green/green & black/black-brown

I tried connecting my DSLR (T2i) didn't get anything.

I connecting the SD card through a card reader, didn't get anything.

I tried connecting my wireless usb mouse, didn't get anything.

left the mouse usb signal plugged in while trying to figure out what is going on. (do i have a bad cable or am i just plain not doing something right..)

well, after not finding anything i useful, i disconnected the usb host cable and tried to wake up my xoom....

nothing. tried holding the power button to turn it on... nothing. plugged in the charger.... nothing.

so i'm hopping i'm missing something here, or did i just royally screw up my xoom with my home made usb cable?

PLEASE HELP!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
Try holding power and volume up.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_kwa:
that worked, thanks a ton!!

also just flashed a different kernel (cybertronic-p8) and all is good!

Xoom is back to 100% and the Host cable works!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dmhilker:
My previous phone was a DINC. I was excited to get my DINC2, but when I was setting up my company e-mail, it seems that they have downgraded the capabilities of the built in exchange client. My company enforces policies, which include device encryption, and SMIME messaging. These features all worked on my DINC after the froyo upgrade, and have been using since. Now, I get the new phone, and those features do not exist? Any advice before I put it back in the box and ship it back?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cooljames2186:
Yes I'm having the same issue...the sad part is the only workaround is exchange by touchdown...the app works well but the unlock key is 20.00, the demo is 30 days and I'm actually considering purchasing it. It has more functionality than the included exchange sync.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nasty64:
I use Touchdown. It's way better than the native exchange capability in the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] kingsfan33:
This probably belongs in android development but because I have fewer than 10 posts i cant post there.

I downloaded das bamf 1.6 debloat via rom manager.

I understand the debloat does not have the toolkit. BUT I downloaded the 1.6 nte and remix Patch and I still don't see that toolkit or have the extended power off settings

Any help would be appreciated
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Patches are not full Roms.
[Thunderbolt General] kingsfan33:
So since i installed the debloat - full rom, I will not have the toolkit?
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Pretty much.

(it says it in the release notes)

It was determined through testing that the toolkit was not compatible with debloat. Certain options will soft brick the device.

Yes, you can delete them. If you are using Ti Backup, freeze them all and use your phone. If there are no ill side effects you can defrost them and then uninstall.

No, its a very dangerous procedure. Make sure you wear your fire suit and oxygen mask when doing so. If you start to hear beeping, run, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction and don't look back.

Red Trace Line For Swype

http://www.mediafire.com/?479yc17cew02n20

Just replace the libswypecore.so in /system/lib/ with this file. Read the thread in the above link if you're not sure how to do it.

PM me if you want the swype that worked for me while doing this
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Spastic909:
So post your proof? Would like a themed swype myself, but no computer for the next month
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] suwu10:
There you go. And you don't need a computer really. Just download the files from the link I posted to your phone
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] LikeaG2root:
How did you do it? Do you have a G2 phone? I have Swype.apk in system/apps. I followed the directions for the terminal command and it said my files are read only. What do I have to do? Anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] coszy:
Just put in the sd root directory and do I need to extract the file?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] suwu10:
No download the app metamorph from the market. This will create a folder on ur sd card called android themes. Put the downloaded zip file in this folder. Open up metamorph and click upzip/create new theme. Then click on the zip file and then apply the theme. Make sure u apply the theme TWICE
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] suwu10:
I really didn't do the terminal commands. I just applied the zip twice using metamorph and it worked for me
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] popimp315:
So are you flashing it or just installing it like every other app?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] coszy:
which one do you get (the one on the pic) the name of the theme please
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] suwu10:
The one I got was called naked red
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] suwu10:
No just apply the zip using metamorph
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] coszy:
thanks dude
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pmcqueen:
I think the creator of that thread assumed we knew to mount /system as read/write....

essentially, all he's asking you to do is move com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk (note, some of you might have: com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk) from /data/app to /system/app and then rename it to Swype.apk so that the metamorph applies itself to the correct apk... here is the exact sequence of commands to do this from adb:

you can do it through terminal emulator as well, you just don't need the first command above (adb shell)

after performing this, if you navigate to your system/app folder, you should see Swype.apk. it is just a renamed clone of your original swype from /data/app... the thing is that the metamorph theme looks specifically in /system/app for Swype.apk, which is why we have to move and rename it. after the morph is applied to Swype.apk in your /system/app folder, simply move it back to /data/app as the name of your original swype apk (most likely com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk) so it overwrites the existing Swype, and theoretically you're good to go. (I say theoretically because it is apparently hit or miss.. maybe it depends on the theme? I'm not sure, but I haven't been able to get the morphs to apply and then have a working swype afterwards)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ilostchild:

Metamorph app does not work on HTC Vision...at least on mine it did not. It says not enough space.

I used "Zip Themer" app and it worked. Just loaded zip into app and then flashed through rom manager.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pmcqueen:
works fine. could be several things causing this, but typically if you just go back in after it says "not enough space" and closes a few times it will eventually figure it out.

try updating your busybox via titanium backup ("problems" button)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] LikeaG2root:
I kept reopening app like you said and it finally accepted. That was awesome info. Thanks for your reply.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pmcqueen:
you bet. I know, it's wonky, as are many theming applications for android at this point.

on that note, theming swype ain't working for me. force closes and disappears from settings every time. following the guide word-for-word and have done it at least 10 times now with no luck. just tried the zipthemer method as well, same thing. force closes and then disappears from lang & keyboard settings.

just to be sure I'm not doing anything different than you guys:

-I move my swype apk from /data/app to /system/app and rename it to Swype.apk

-I apply the metamorph twice (or create the zipthemer update.zip and flash that from recovery)

-then move themed swype.apk from /system/app back to /data/app and name it back to its original name

-reboot...

aaand, without fail, I get force closes.

what gives?

are you guys who have been able to complete this swype beta users? I'm on CM7.0.3 for what it's worth

EDIT: also, I am using the english/spanish version only. are you guys using the full version?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Sinistah_:
How did u use zipthemer to get it to work? Do I still have to move the swype apk? And where do I find it so I can move it?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pmcqueen:
yes, you do.

it is in /data/app , most likely named: com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk (mine is com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk)

to move it to /system/app, if you're not using something like root explorer, you have to mount system as read/writable by typing:

in terminal emulator or adb or wherever you're running your commands from before you can move the file into the system app folder.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Sinistah_:
Where do I move it to? Using root explorer
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
I know... Do you think you can make a zip where it comes with a red trace?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Sinistah_:
I'm trying to move it to system/app but it won't let me....
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pmcqueen:
if you are using root explorer, make sure you've mounted /system as RW (button in the top right)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Sinistah_:
I did it... but now all I'm getting is forecloses over and over again even when I'm not in messaging or using the swype.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pmcqueen:
you and I both. :) I'm waiting for a reply in the main thread to see if anyone can help.

what version of Swype are you using?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Sinistah_:
The latest one. Whatever one that's on the swype site. When you find out could u msg me or update us here? I would rly like this to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pmcqueen:
so you're a swype beta member as well?

I'm testing right now to see if it's something to do with using the english/spanish only version of swype. are you using that?

edit: nope. still doesn't work even with the full version of swype. I have tried applying the morph via metamorph, have tried zipthemer, have tried with swype disabled and with swype enabled... just won't work. really frustrating. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Sinistah_:
I'm using the full version actually.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pmcqueen:
can someone who got it to work answer me these questions:

-swype beta user? or stock with root? or on a custom rom that came with swype installed?

-if you're a swype beta user, what version of swype are you downloading when using the swypeinstaller.apk?

thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
You can't put swype beta on the system app or it will force close. There's an app the restores swype if you back up a rom with a swype.apk. I think it was called swype restore...Google it or search it at xda

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
I used an app... called restore swype app somewhere in XDA.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pmcqueen:
this is not the same as restore swype. I read through that thread and whether or not it works for what we need to theme swype is hit or miss depending on configuration of your swype in your nandroid backup.

since I don't have any nandroid backups with swype in /system/app, I didn't even want to bother with it... instead, starting from scratch was easier in my situation (and it will be for some others who've posted here).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
Am not getting you but this is my way of method... Not trying to say that your method is not good or anything. I just use the app since its much easier for me. Also my swype is fully themed just trying get a hold of trying to change the trace color, keeps become black rather than red...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
Hey suwu do you think you can post more trace colors? That would be great :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] suwu10:
What colors would u want?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
Hmm... Any would be cool. Its just nice to be able to change to diffrent trace color.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pmcqueen:
I gotcha. here's the difference between my method and that app:

-the app requires that you have a nandroid backup of a previous ROM with a swype apk in /data/app or /system/app. it pulls the necessary apk and lib and then places them where they need to go. definitely a nifty thing, but not helpful for those of us who have been swype beta users (ie our Swype apk is in /data/app) for a while and are having trouble applying Swype themes.

-my method is specifically for people who are having issues moving Swype from /data/app to /system/app and then back, which the app does not address. in my method, you do not need a nandroid backup to pull from, you just need a rom with Swype and the libSwypeCore.so in the system partition.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
Lol understood. I also used ur method by the way.

not sure if it works with this works with this phone but you can try oden.

you will have to find a oden flashable rom and boot your phone into download mode.

or you could put your phone in a microwave for 10 secs and take it back to the store and tell them it wont work. they will replace it as long as the water meters arent red.
