The version that was ported by ziggy and mik has the line removed and that is why you can decode it. And that ihpt69 is quite the java

Sweet man! I almost got that one but the vents were too monstrous for me. I take it to class and its just too much. I went with the MALIBAL Lotus (clevo p150hm) last month. I love it. I got a ssd afterwards and installed the hdd in the optical bay for storage. I am a huge nerd sometimes. Lol.

Tommy - that util is nice...now I just have to figure it out :)
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
That makes sense. You won't be able to decode that one plus there are bad 9.pngs that needs to be fixed.

[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
I love this thread
[HTC EVO 3D] silverxbv2:
Agreed. It's hard to think of things to add to it. So much has been covered already.

Edit: On second thought, I may have a little something to add. Well, more like a tool/trick.

For the longest time I couldn't find a way to do batch color changes. I have had a program called FastStone Photo Resizer from when I was doing a bunch of boot animation requests. As the name implies, it does batch photo resizing. But if you get to playing within the program there are some other tools to make our lives easier.

This free program has options such as batch rename, batch file format conversion, like .png to JPEG, and the one that I recently found, batch color conversion. The beauty of this batch color converter is that as long as you don't change brightness or saturation, it DOES NOT break 9pngs.

Now I'm not at all implying it is a perfect tool. It does have it's limitations. But it definitely speeds up things with batch operations. For example, I was able to make a pink skin for someone, using blue sky as a base, in under 5 minutes. That's having to change 700+ blue images. I've done that manually before. It takes at least 6 minutes:D, so you can see the huge time savings.

Thanks...I'm not familiar with apktool d -t ice .apk. Is that something that must be run every time I try to decompile or do I put that in the apktool/framework/ folder
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
the -t flag is for using a custom.framework.

You need to place the ice.apk in apktool/framework first.

Generally, you need to.do.this:

apktool if framework-res.apk TAG

apktool if com.htc.resources.apk TAG

apktool d -t TAG Sample.apk

Super handy when you are modifying multiple.different roms. I have these tags: 3d, shift, cm, evo, evoOld, mikg. All.correspond to the Rom so I can modify any number of roms.

The Story of Fern's de-flowering

I was told this wasn't portal worthy, but here you go fern

it was a warm spring afternoon, and young fernando sor arrives at his good friend jeffsanace's house for a day filled with android modification.

He knows that jeff is not home yet, but was told by jeff to go ahead and go inside. So young fern goes in the house and makes his way to jeff's room in the basement. (its in the basement because jeff lives with his parents at this time).

fern breaks out his laptop and promptly connects to the high speed wifi connections that jeff's parents pay top dollar for. instead of jumping on to xda developers like he knows he probably should, fern connects to an extremely sexually explicit website (porn), because he knows it will be a good 30 minutes before jeff gets home.

he watches a good 3 minutes of this internet programming when he feels a chill over his body, and gets the feeling that he isn't alone. he turns around slowly only to see jeff's mom standing directly behind him...

"what were you watching young man!?" she says in that stern mother tone

"uh, um, nothing mrs. sanace." fern barely studders out

"it didn't look like nothing" she says with her hands on her hips giving that disapproving look that mothers give when they walk in on their children's friends watching porn.

"i'm sorry mrs. sanace, please don't tell anyone. i promise i won't watch it again" fern says trying to keep from crying.

"now why would you never watch it again? i really wanted to know why you didn't ask me to watch it with you" she says as she seductively places her hand on fern's arm.

fern's mouth drops open. he can't believe what he has just heard.

"oh hunny, don't act surprised. i have needs, needs that only a young man like yourself can take care of" she says while gently playing with fern's hair.

apk help

Ok, new issue, while building rom I decided to update already installed apks...(netflix, adobe flash, reader, etc.) I then pulled the apks from the phone and ended up with the updated apks...I then replaced the older versions in the rom with the newer...about half work...I've swapped data/app and system/app, no difference...tried manually signing apk, again, no difference...I've tried pulling with adb and android commander, but again...same boat...I'm sure it's something simple...updated maps (6.5.0) works fine, updated voice..not sure but at any rate...says its not installed...anybody?

PS: Nice story btw...needed a laugh after wiping and booting for 4 hours ...
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
Most of them update to data/app so you need the one in system/app as well. Voice you would need to change permission to make it a system/app. It would be easier to update them then pull system/app and data/app and add to the rom. The way they're updated now can be a pain in the arse. Just my opinion but it seems that would be the easiest way to make sure there aren't any issues. Always works for me this way.

Edit.. For the ones that are system/apps anyway.

Recognized " Bad Seed "
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Once a system/app is updated you do NOT need it in system/app anymore. Android will only use the one in /data/app until it is deleted.

First, don't resign the market apps that are updated.

Second, make sure you have correct permissions set on them (644)

Third, make sure you don't have duplicates (ie com.android.vending-1.apk and com.android.vending-2.apk, stuff like that)

Now, let me show you some troubleshooting techniques:

Stage I

First, check to see if they are in data/app. In terminal (or command line), run these commands:

adb shell

ls /data/app/

That will print a list of files in /data/app. See if your apk is actually there.

Stage II

A. If file is there, check the permissions on it. Or just run :

adb shell chmod 644 /data/app/*

B. If file is not there, then check your updater script and make sure it is properly copying files to data/app and also setting permissions.

Stage III

Lastly, make sure the apk you pulled is a valid apk. Run this command to test (preferably on one of the apks that didn't show up):

adb install -r TEST.apk

If that the apk installs, then go back to troubleshooting stage I.
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
So if it's a system app that's getting updated to data app, after the update the system one is no longer needed? Example, I know that Htc has updated idle screen base to data app before. So once it has been updated you can delete the one in system? Just getting this straight for myself, cuz if tommy talks I listen.

Please ignore last 2 of my posts, it's been a long week. Brain fart day.

[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
I cant speak for the idlescreen app from htc, but yes once an app is updated to data/app the system/app is absolutely unnecessary. Android will only acknowledge one instance of a pacakge at a time. So I bet the idlescreen base is the exact same.
[HTC EVO 3D] jhawk1302:
Thank you...

Thanks! It seems as though I was just moving things around wayyyy too much and using too many programs...easiest way, start up...let market update the apps, then using ONLY ADB, pull the /data files...for some reason, some of the updates did function when I replaced them in system/app, however, that is the exception, most had to be placed into data/app, however tommy is absolutely correct, everything that I had two instances of...I deleted the original (even paid apps that had been unlocked and updated!) out of system/app and all worked flawlessly without and also cleaned up about 40mg...

Should have asked FIRST instead of signing and trying all the wrong things, thanks to both of you! Might be a way to let some folks who complain of running out of room in their rom (heavy app users) with root access to get some gains as well...
