Slightly Modified E-buddy.

Hey, I've changed the eBuddy Icon, replaced the running Icon with the original notification icon and replaced the Notification Icon with the Eclair Messaging Icon. I felt they looked better (especially on Hero builds) its 100% stock otherwise, and since its a free app I'm sure this isn't illegal...here are some screen shots.

APK is inside attached zip...install like any other apk.
[G1 Apps and Games] blackvyper:
Can you tell me how you edited the apk file? I would like to get into doing this same sort of thing.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
blackvyper: Open the apk with WinRAR or something similar, you'll find a drawables folder, inside that are the images you can edit. Once editting, put them back into the apk, and sign the apk :). There're some instructions on signing apks here, one of them is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=473580
[G1 Apps and Games] johnnylicious:
thank you for this!!
[G1 Apps and Games] AbsoluteDesignz:
I use to think it was a daunting task until I tried it out...editting APKs is one of the easiest things to do.

1. Set it so .apk's open with winrar...

2. extract the apk to a folder or ctrl+c ctrl+v the res>drawables folder into explorer (I do this so I can see the images I'm editing)

3. find the pngs u wish to alter (avoid .9.pngs unless u know what ur doing...I don't...so I avoid them lol)

4. alter/find replacements for selected pngs then ctrl+c ctrl+v them from the windows folder to the winrar open apk

5. within the open apk in winrar delete meta folder...

6. copy the modified apk to the auto-sign folder

7. run the script and rename then move/copy your_app_signed.apk to the sd card and install as usual.

***note...it is important that you keep the png size relatively the same for the most part...I tried to make a Buuf Hello IM and while it worked I forgot to resize the PNGs and it looks all out of wack...I have since abandoned the project however since eBuddy now works flawlessly without constant disconnects.

I have included a zip of the modified autosign script...I honestly forgot who originally made it but it has been very helpful so thank you to that person.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Those considering posting of modified files... should keep one thing in mind.

Free or not, you are still subject to the LICENSE TERMS.

Yes, it is possible to ILLEGALLY PIRATE a free app, and modification is *almost* guaranteed to be a license violation.

Note that without an explicit license, the developer STILL retains copyright, which includes the right against having their works bastardized. In other words, unless the app EXPLICITLY authorizes you to do what you want with it, it is a license or copyright violation to distribute modified versions of it.

Audio Manager

I changed the Audio Manager Widget to match the switcher widgets here on xda.

Here is the download link for the zipped APK.

The instructions above are great. I would recommend looking into 7-Zip its free and its awesome. If you want to change the *.9.png's there is a converter for normal pngs with the sdk.

Here's an image of what my audio manager looks like. There is a large and a small version of the widget. I also put the switcher widgets in the pic to show how it all looks.

Enjoy!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] pentace:
Did you modify the internal memory widget? if so can u post links to this?
[G1 Apps and Games] WiredAnim:
Pentace, It is a part of Manups Hero Widget pack. He and someone else changed those. Here's a link to the original post.
[G1 Apps and Games] pentace:
Thanks.

Surprised that they dont include them in their current roms.
[G1 Apps and Games] WiredAnim:
Ya they should include them they are great and small brightness widget doesn't seem to work in Hero but everything else works great. One other thing to mention is the Audio Manager seems to case acore force closes in cyanogen time. Atleast that is how it goes for me.
[G1 Apps and Games] Proxin:
I installed this AudioWidget apk and now I can't get the regular market apk to install anymore.
[G1 Apps and Games] WiredAnim:
Proxin, are you talking about installing the audio manager from the market? If so it should work. Worst case is just uninstall then reinstall through the market. I hope the helps if not let me know its a great app.

Hey there..i was wondering if you got your app drawer tab to look like by using an app, or perhaps it came with a theme for donut/cupcake, or is it a themed hero rom, or maybe you made it yourself. Lol. I just wanna know where you got it, so i can make mine look like that too. Looks pretty slick! Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] Proxin:
I uninstalled, removed any traces of it (data, dalvik-cache, etc) from Terminal, but it still wouldn't install.

I didn't have access to adb for a while but when I got around to it, I used adb to install the modded one again, then uninstalled it from Application Manager & reinstalled the one from the Market. My problem was fixed.
[G1 Apps and Games] djosiah:
i believe he is using a themed version of rogro's GDE home replacement app which is available in the market. there also a few themes available in the market as well. hope this helps :)

Hi,

Great Windows Mobile 6.5 ROMs provided by PDAVIET via haree, especially v26!

I have to admit that it was a little annoying to see the "PDAVIET Special Edition" every time I turned on my phone and I'm pretty sure some of you do too!

To make it a little easier to remove, I've attached my very first WM application, "SetVersion26.exe", which you can just extract and copy to your PDA.

Enjoy,

Ok ... Sorry, still finding my way around this forum. I'll try and find the PDV thread.

Extract the "SetVersion26.exe" executable from the RAR archive on your XP/Vista/Win7 desktop.

Copy "SetVersion26.exe" to anywhere on your WinMo PDA (Memory or Storage Card).

Launch "SetVersion26.exe" it directly from WinMo via File Manager and follow the on-screen instructions.

[Touch CDMA General] rynpaulbert:
Hello all.

I've had my XV6900 when it was first released and it's been though hell, but it has held up until now.

I woke up yesterday to find that my touch screen isn't working. Before I went to sleep the previous night, it was working perfectly fine.

I've done a million resets, took the battery out, etc. and only ONCE the screen started to work normally for a minute or two before reverting

back to the non-responsive inputs. I can navigate the phone just a tad by using the buttons, but obviously it does not suffice.

I noticed that on the bottom left corner, there seems to be an air bubble type blemish. I think it's misleading my phone that I am putting

pressure there myself, resulting in me not being able to touch to my liking and use it properly. I can answer calls only and do limited commands

by using buttons but text and email are my main form of communication -_-x

Surely a hard reset will not fix the problem, correct?

My only way to get this phone back in order is to try to find a digitizer, right?

(I am using My Mobilizer on my desktop right now to communicate with others and I was also wondering if there is a way I can save

my contacts INSTEAD of using Active Sync. My version of Windows VISTA did not come with Outlook -_-x.)
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
are you using a screen protector?

you can sync contacts with google http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=gh0ssy&utm_medium=ha&utm_term=google%20sync&dc=gh0ssy

i would try a hard reset before looking into getting a digitizer - my $.02
[Touch CDMA General] rynpaulbert:
I was thinking about the hard reset but if the screen blemish, which looks like it's separating on the inside, is there... it wouldn't matter if I did a hard reset.

I think.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
yea sounds like its time to check ebay for a digitizer:rolleyes:

Anyone got an acer then?
[Off-topic] BenF1:
I got the device last week actually. Its a brilliant device but its let down by its lack of ram, although this has not been a problem yet so don't be put off by that.

Theres also a problem with 3.5mm connectivity for headphones.

The screen is very big and nice and the fingerprint reader is a great novelty that has some use.

I would recommend getting it.
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
So does the acer have an 3.5mm headphone jack or is it usb?

Have you got any pics you can show me that you have taken with the camera?

thanks

flyboy
[Off-topic] casouzaj:
The M900 is a superb machine. I strongly recommend it. It doesn't have a 3.5mm headset socket, though. The wired headset (with mic) is a 10-pin mini-B USB connector. It really doesn't bother me at all, because I seldom use it, since it is required to listen to the FM radio only, as it acts as an antenna. For MP3s and videos (i.e. for all the remaining - and most important - sound sources) I use my SE HBH-IS800 stereo BT headsets. Of course people's needs are quite different. So, if a 3.5mm connector is a must for you, you better consider buying something else.

Just my 2 cents...

Cheers!

Carlos
[Off-topic] ja-marcin:
does it use mini usb port to charge or does acer has it`s own special port for charging?
[Off-topic] casouzaj:
Yup! Although its mini-USB port is 10-pin, 5 of them are in the same position as the standard mini-USB. So, any mini-USB cable you might have would charge it (provided it has enough current (mAh), of course), as well as sync it.

Just my 2 cents...

Cheers!

Carlos
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
ja-marcin are you thinking of getting one?
[Off-topic] orb3000:
Same opinion;)
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
what the htc community is offering is more than acer, but acer are doing ppcs that are the same thing but just cheaper.

Id be going for function and price rather than a specific model with ppcs.

And i wouldnt waste my money on a second hand diamond,tytn Ii, rapheal,prophet when for the same price i get more function, and less money spent

Just makes sense!!

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gilroykilroy:
Now that we have root access I was trying to figure out the cause of the "old apps keep reappearing after an update and restart bug."

From the looks of it it seems the /data/boot-cache directory is corrupt. I tried my experiment with Google Sky Map and got the following:

$ adb shell
$ su
# cd /data/boot-cache
# ls -al *stardroid*
-rw------- system system 3988 2009-10-17 18:36 AndroidManifest.xml
# rm -rf *stardroid*
rm failed for -rf, No such file or directory
# rmdir *stardroid*
rmdir failed for data@app@com.google.android.stardroid.apk, Directory not empty
# fsck
fsck: not found

Same thing happens with all the other apps that misbehave when updated.

Do we have any way of running fsck or some other file system repair utility to fix these issues?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] posguy99:
Or you could just empty the directory before you tried to remove it, since whatever 'rm' binary is provided apparently doesn't understand "-rf" and treated it as a filename.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gilroykilroy:
Seems it doesn't know -rf but works with -r. Let me see if this now fixes the issues.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jman069:
Keep up the good work man I had this problem multiple times I think it bothered me more than not receiving sms or vvm.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gilroykilroy:
The fix

That is it, you use -r not -rf. So the fix is as follows (I use Astro for getting the following information):

1) Use Astro and backup all your apps to your SD card.

2) The Astro Application Manager/Backup tool will list in red all the apps that it thinks are newer on the SD card than the phone thinks are installed.

3) For each of those apps select them and note the app installed name (first line, called "Name"). Usually com.xxx.xxx, etc.

4) Get a root shell to your phone (follow instructions elsewhere.)

5) cd /data/boot-cache

6) For all the names you generated in step 3 type

rm -r *<name>*

e.g. taking Google Sky Map as an example this would be

rm -r *com.google.android.stardroid*

7) Reboot your phone.

8) All apps should now appear in their latest, correct, version.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] posguy99:
Google claims this problem is specific to the Hero and SenseUI. Does this cache folder exist on a normal Android build?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fx17:
is there a chance someone can make an app that would automate this process?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] goku14238:
does the issue come back after awhile?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gilroykilroy:
Anytime you update an app you will see the issue for that app.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbiefone:
hi guys,

i've just ordered a htc hero on orange and i have 7 days to try it. I will receive it on tuesday, so whilst i'm waiting i have many questions that i would like help with. My computer knowledge is good, but with mobiles i'm almost useless, so apologies if i end up asking questions which may sound pretty straightforward to many of you.

1. The hero will come with orange firmware, but i assume its a lot slower than custom firmwares, so what is the latest and the best known firmware at the moment and what is the procedure on installing it?

2. Since I have 7 days to test out the phone, i want to try it with the latest firmware, but i'm nervous and i want to play it safe and need to protect the original orange firmware, so what is involved in making a FULL BACKUP of the orange firmware and if i decide i want to put the orange firmware back onto the htc, how do i do this?

3. Is there any risk involved in the above procedures where i could mess up the phone and not be able to fix it again?

4. Lastly, if I replaced the phone with the current latest firmware and at a later date Android 2.0 came out, will i be able to upgrade to the latest operating system without problems?

Many thanks again
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryallott:
1) why would you assume this? Orange dont put anything on there that slows the phone down, only an app for extra orange settings, which i believe takes you to a webpage...

2) read up on this, we cannot type it out every time. look for nandroid. But if you are trying it use the official update method from the orange site.,

3) same question, if you follow instructions you will be fine.,

4) It has been said by HTC that 2.0 will come to the Hero.... again this is plastered all over the forums and I do believe that your a lazy ass for not looking this up yourself.
