[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
If you made the backups on the thunderbolt and you're trying to restore them to the bionic, that probably won't work too well. For some apps, when you install them from the market, they read your device and install the version of the app that's compatible with your device. So you're trying to install a Tbolt app on a Bionic *facepalm*

There can't be THAT many app that you ABSOLUTELY need the backups for. Just install them again through the android market. If for some reason you NEED the backups, you could try to install the apk manually through ADB.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
also another method would be open titanium menu butoon batch mode will allow you to restove them one at a time and do app only no data my best bet for you situation..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scanray:
Hi all,

I have rooted my Atrix very well, no problems. Use this method.

I did only to activate the tethering.

Now I want to return to normal. rooted.

This is because Google will not let me watch movies.

How rooted back the Atrix?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark9781:
There is a way to keep root and watch movies from Google. Just download VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper from the market. There is a temporary unroot option in the program. Just make a back up by clicking Protect root. Then you can use the Temp. un-root option. When you want to restore root load up the program again and click Restore root.

[Kindle Fire General] arogon:
So this morning I rooted my spare kindle fire with BurritoRoot3 and then flashed FireFireFire with it, then like a retard I used Kindle Fire utility to install TWRP. After that I tried to boot into recovery but it refuses to. All it does is sit at the yellow triangle and refuses to actually go into recovery... I can leave it alone and it will boot into the OS but I'm trying to install ICS or CM7. Any tips on how to wipe or repair TWRP/Firefirefire? Re installing TWRP doesn't work as KFU can't do anything due to it sitting at yellow triangle.
[Kindle Fire General] fiddlefaddle:
Do you hold down the power button until it turns orange? Make sure that you do... hope this helps.;)
[Kindle Fire General] arogon:
If i do that it makes the power button turn red and then screen flashes and it goes to the same screen but the screen brightness seems to be turned down. After that it just powers off. I have a second kindle fire that works flawlessly and I got ICS running on it.. this one... not so much :(
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
would try to start the twrp installation - when it says <waiting for device> power off the kf by holding pwr ~20sec - power on again - the installation should resume and finish

if not check device manager for the correct drivers - maybe this helps:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sr89194:
So my wife tells me she has never seen the original The Thing, so I figured we'd make a movie night out of it. Of ALL the online options available to me, the only place I could find to rent it was the Google Marketplace. So I get the bright idea to use my TF Prime to HDMI out and play to my big screen. I rented the movie and connected the HDMI cable. I got the screen output from the prime to show and sound was great. However, the movie itself was just a black screen. When I disconnected the HDMI cable the movie would play on the Prime, but when I reconnected the cable and the screen refreshed it was a black screen. Next thing I know my Prime reboots. After the reboot, I start getting a pop up error box that just says "Sorry, Video has stopped" with an OK button. Now, I can't run the Videos app or get to the Movies section of the Marketplace. Its like the video drivers are corrupted or something and I can't find a fix for it. I could not find this in another forum.

Any help please???

Hello,

What images in the framework res that are the telephone key numbers or what are the images for the phone dialer like the favorites, contacts, number keys, etc.

thanks in advance,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phoenix6:
This one took me a while too. They are in the Contacts.apk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
Hello Phoenix6,

thanks,

In the res folder of contacts, is it the drawable-hdpi-finger folder?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phoenix6:
Should be drawable-hdpi, it's the folder with a ton of pngs :) ooh and are you decompiling or just extracting?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
my objective is to change the png images, so that the phone will have a black theme. I know that there are black themes around. I have a stock t-mobile ROM, themes are rare to come by. I will try to make my own.

Not sure if what I am doing is decompiling or extracting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elephant007:
I was wondering if anyone has the Skyrocket messaging app available for our ET4G?

I tried grabbing the APK from a co-workers phone and installing it on FB27 (odex) from Calkulin's Rooted FB27 and it keeps force closing, I'm going to try the deodex version now

Is this how I can get that app on my phone or is there more to it than simply moving the app to my phone?

Your help and/or direction would be greatly appreciated!

*Update*

Unfortunately adding it to the deodexed version didn't work either, I'm grabbing the MMS.apk and the MMSprovisioning.apk from StockMod-2-UCLA3-0.2kernel rom in the Skyrocket forum on this site
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FrameCityJackal:
You just want to theme?

use 7zip open each apk up and go to res folder I believe and swap all the same png files to our apk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Brilliant idea... Send me the skyrocket app and I'll see what I can do.

I'm getting my laptop back and it's about time that I root my new phone and start modifying some stuff...

That is an excellent idea!

Here is the MMS.apk from the Skyrocket, looking forward to seeing if you can get this accomplished..

Who says being drunk makes you stupid :p welcome guys lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
So what is the difference from the Mms that came with our phones?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elephant007:
just to look of the icon and the look/feel of the app itself, look at the screen shot provided by StockMod-2-UCLA3-0.2kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoothone:
That is an HTC Sense phone and that MMS apk would have never worked on our phones as it needs the Sense framework. You could probably get the images and theme ours. Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elephant007:
it's from the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket not from any HTC phone... now I'm not saying that it isn't themed like Sense, I'm just saying that the apk's come from the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FrameCityJackal:
Also if you're doing it my way make sure the pngs are the same resolution. You may experience some graphics to be a bit off otherwise. Theres a png resing tool online somewhere I just can't remember where.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I really like the look of the messenger as well. Ill have to keep an eye out on this thread. Would love to see it made to work with our phone. Looks like the messenger will work as is. Just breaks MMS. Nice find.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoothone:
Is that the way it looks on the Galaxy or did they theme it to look like the Sense messenger? Man it looks just like the SMS on my old EVO 3d. I thought it came from a Sense phone. I like that theme better than the bubbles on the Epic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elephant007:
I have no idea I just know I'd like it... right now I'm going to revert my phone to 2.3.6 where that messaging app came from on the Skyrocket and try it out on my ET4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I'll see what I can do... Just don't rush me. I have a job and will work on this with my free time.

When its done you'll see a new thread.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elephant007:
I'm not going to rush you, if you're willing to do it I will patiently wait for you to complete the task and thank you for taking on this challenge

I was able to get the messaging app going on 2.3.6

I flashed the stock rooted rom, downloaded Calkulin's_E4GT_ROM_v2.9.2, unzipped it and plugged in the Skyrocket MMS into it, rezipped and it works

Unfortunately I would like for it to work on the ICS 4.0.3

Thank you again Mattix724 for taking on this task during your free time, maybe you can PM me when your done :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I did the same thing but can't get it to work on mms. Send and received text just fine though. Maybe I did something wrong. May play with it a little more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
If you have any linux background it should be an easy task. I am probably getting my laptop out of pawn tomorrow so I'll see if taking the drawables from the skyrocket and using those with our stock mms. They both have the same size screen so I don't think anything needs to be re-sized.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elephant007:
Did you send the MMS to yourself or did you send it to someone else? I sent a message to myself and noticed it did it over 3G instead of 4G like I had connected, still haven't received the reply yet... so I guess MMS doesn't work, bummer

I did notice there are different settings associated with the app too like "Input Mode: SMS input mode to compose message>GSM alphabet > Unicode > Automatic" and "Creation Mode: MMS creation mode for compose message>Restricted > Warning > Free

Odd
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Yeah I sent it to myself. It looks like it goes out. But don't recieve it. Probably has to do with it being for GSM and this being CDMA. No worries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elephant007:
well I was able to decompile the Mms.apk and found out why we can't send multimedia messages, there is an XML file that is pointing to the ATT servers so that mms goes through them, I was able to change this and now my Mms gets a Force Close...

I yet have acquired the skill to change this without FC, I'm going to work on it though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FrameCityJackal:
If you're just copying the pngs you shouldn't run into any problems...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elephant007:
I've copied the PNGs to the the new APK I'm working on, they are all the same PNGs so I'm think that there is a settings XML that is calling different PNGs than what Sprint has.. when I successfully copied the PNGs to the new apk everything showed up the same
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
This is because you need to edit .9.png files. To that I say good luck. Even seasoned themers hate messing with those things. It's not as simple as using 7zip and swapping out a few .png images.

Lastly, you guys are talking about throwing a Gingerbread app into an ICS Rom and hoping it works. Odds are it's not going to. The coding is completely different along with many other things. While in theory ICS should be backwards compatible with things written for 2.3, this isn't as simple as running an XP program in Windows 7 and most apps simply won't work. Then there's the issue of this being for a GSM phone. I've never ported an app that relies on the radio so I can't point you in the right direction there but I can guarantee it's the same as every other thing. You're going to need to decompile the .apk and classes.dex file and start editing.

Good luck. For anyone that dives into it, this will be a great opportunity to learn about this stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elephant007:
I mentioned earlier that you have to use the 2.3.x version of Android in order to use the Mms. I was able to only get it working on 2.3.x version

As far as editing those pngs, guess I'll have to just stick with the good ole stock mms!

Thanks for your input
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Well I have the Message Bubbles and Icons changed out. Anyone have any clue how to change the background from grey to white. I figure its an XML edit but can't figure out which one it would be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FrameCityJackal:
The way ICS has its icons moved around its crazy. I took the PNGS from the Gnexus and put them on my photon just fine

Gonna test it on a GSM Galaxy Nexus :D

--- edit ---

Done, everything works fine except one thing.

√ Install Android SDK installs the Android SDK in /home/ folder OK

√ Galaxy Nexus Tools starts OK

X Unlock Galaxy Nexus gives these errors before halting:

Done that manually to test the other options.

√ Install recovery downloads and installs 5.5.0.4 recovery just fine and reboots to it right away.

√ Install root files does what it says, easy and painless.

And... I think that's all, I think it's kinda anoying that everytime you perform one of the steps a new browser window opens with the Paypal donation site, you may want to do that only when quitting the script or something.

Just my 2 cents. I've followed you on Twitter (@migatohacemiau), send me a PM if you need more testing on the bootloader issue :)

Edit: Suggestion to OP - ask people to post firmware builts and kernel versions along with success/fail results. Many latest kernels are not directly rootable and require a downgrade. A full list is available in Dr. Ketan's post in Note development forum.
