Hey You might remember me? i was the guy who tried (and failed mind that) to port the ophone, and my laptop burned out on me:(....

*you shall be missed :(

, right ill cut a long story short, me beeing a UK resident means i cant use the native IM.apk over here no matter what, then i remembered back to the days of JF and his RC8 builds worked with the built in IM app with a little tool called Droidsans Tweaktools

and it wasnt untill now i had a major idea, But then i hit a wall it backfired on me and thats where i need some help

See, i took the JFRC8 build enviroment , Got cyanongens 3.4.6 build and replaced the apps, But this is what baffles me right here? why wont it boot after i've signed it? (and wiped) Ive copied across all these files

Still no luck... :( its either this or somehow i could be pointed into the direction of how the cracked .odex file that made it use data instead of sms actually worked ... now, I dont know how hard it would be but i have to original .odex file ripped straight from the droidsans app with me here, if anyone wants me to upload it?

I can also upload the update.zip im trying to use with alot of fail? just incase you guys wanna look at it?

Guys i've hit a brick wall here, i know its not the smartest thing in the world as i can hear the thousands of

But i just want to say i always found the original to be the best and this has been the mayjor downfall in all the new builds is that its never going to work with the new IM apps, but the old one, worked better anyway! :confused:

anyone like to give us a few pointers? i pulled the .apks straight out of JFs build env :)

BTW, i have searched, nothing came close to a reall answer, they all said email droidsans i have with no luck, ive tried my self, close sometimes, but no cigar really, so.. now i ask you... anyone? what have i done wrong?

*please dont move this post, it does concern Android develepment:p

A quick note on the side, i did include a theme into the update.. would it be wise to start again, take out my music player from hero and just copy over one file at a time? I dont know why but IM.apk, Causes a crash no matter what?

Started again, this time just the full monty no theme no music just added im files flashing now :)

Should i take out the apks that are dependednt on the new im? any pointers as to which ones i should remove, this whole thing was a sudden inspiration of annoyedness at all the ims on the market :L

OK BREAKKTHROUGH!! Here we have it.. my idea, the idea im going to use just after my phone boots up (new update, just hero theme and music player)... put the IM.apk and other files on the sd, then we have both new and old ims and the odex file goes on the sd too,, its so perfect its untrue, i jut hope it works :)

SUCSESSS!!!! :D No longer am i gettting the dreaded not a tmobile sim bla bla bla message, comment me if u want me to explain how i did it, (Mind this howevr, im still waery i havent yet been able to sign in because of tmobiles awfull 3g in my area, but its a working progress and im sure its working now :D)

Scrap that, it didnt work... hmmm this is fustrating me, all i need is to sucessfully port that IM app over and ill have cracked it!!!
