Awesome! I'm guessing the install was simple enough for you? :)
[Droid Eris General] Riley1524:
Very Easy...Just had to find a small enough flat head screw driver to take the scews out. Awesome MOD!!
[Droid Eris General] andino:
Cool little mod. I did this to my Curve 8330 back when I had it. I'm considering doing this to the eris as well. I only wish that we had different color housings as well.
[Droid Eris General] Turtl3_Hix:
I hear 2.2 is rumored to unlock multi-colored trackball LED... I hope that'll work for the eris!
[Droid Eris General] Elementix:
Yea, but I'm pretty sure the eris isn't equipped with the actual multicolored LED...

my new trackball

I got my trackball today and put it in. It looks great thanks for the idea.
[Droid Eris General] Elementix:
Awesome. Is that green or red or what? Can't really tell..
[Droid Eris General] roscoenr:
yeah not a good quality camera but it is red.
[Droid Eris General] WalkingTaco:
my blue one came in the mail finally, looks a lot better than white but I noticed some weird surface scuffs on it that show up clearly when it glows. Not a problem, kind of looks kinda cool, anyone else notice this on theres?
[Droid Eris General] Elementix:
Nope. Did yours come from dealextreme or somewhere else?
[Droid Eris General] roscoenr:
mine looked like it had some when it first came in but after putting it in the phone and using it a bit it has went away.
[Droid Eris General] WalkingTaco:
dealextreme
[Droid Eris General] juicy.cook:
So, out of curiosity, did any of you guys have problems with your trackball? I know that some people are having issues with certain scrolling. I don't have any current problems, but curious if this would fix them. PS. I know nothing about trackballs. I am asusming they work like the old school mice?
[Droid Eris General] mortymouse:
Awesome. May have to order this and try it out. Me likes.
[Droid Eris General] :
+1 Ordering now. :)
[Droid Eris General] jjtjp:
yes i'm also curious. does this replace the failing part that causes the scrolling issues or does this just replace the ball itself? or is the scrolling thing a whole other animal?
[Droid Eris General] buttnoid:
has anyone who's done this mod had the trackball go nuts and scroll constantly to the left like the stock trackball tends to do?
[Droid Eris General] Lemcott:
this only replaces the ball and the carriage around it, not the sensors. now opening it up and cleaning it out with a can of compressed air could fix it yes, or you could just do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=716681
[Droid Eris General] skrew37:
i've successfully transplanted to a blue trackball as well! only thing is now i want more notifications for the trackball to see it light up! very easy mod. trackball works 100% better than stock too! i even painted the earpiece screen and the ring around the camera blue. looks awesome. thanks again!
[Droid Eris General] Razgriz1:
WHat screwdrivers did you use to remove the screws? mine has hex? screws . aka not the standsard flat head ect
[Droid Eris General] Izeltokatl:
Very cool, does the OS recognize the coloring in settings? I assume yes.
[Droid Eris General] phoneAphoria:
Thanks for the detailed posts!

My Eris trackball is starting scroll on it's own and I may consider replacing it. One question: in the customer reviews of the trackball on Amazon, some Blackberry users said that the trackball wouldn't press down to use as an "Enter" key. Did anyone here experience any issues using the replacement trackball as an Enter key. IOW does pressing down work as expected?

Thanks!
[Droid Eris General] Zalatorisaurus:
I did this way back when in February. I took my Eris trackball out and replaced it with one from an old Blackberry Curve. I've never had the infamous crapball problems or any trackball problems at all.
[Droid Eris General] johnrbrown1968:
That's my question as well... I've tried multiple micro-sized screwdrivers, one a regular, and 2 were hex/allan wrench .... none of them worked.

:confused:

[Droid Eris General] vash8806:
bought the one off Deal Extreme...Got it shipped to me in 2 weeks..took me 5 minutes to put it in and reassemble the phone... VERY easy...

1. Take back 4 screws off.

2. Take the two phillips screws off that are right by the charge port.

3. Lift the mini USB connection card gently, pull the old track ball assembly out, put new one in. (Be sure to put it in the same direction as you pulled the old one.

4. You can also CLEAN your track ball. Follow this guide

Put screws back in and you're good to go!
[Droid Eris General] littletwerpy:
Im going in

I just bought my new red trackball online and ive already taken my phone apart just to see that i can do it (i was bored). Will post youtube video of the transplant once the trackball gets shipped to me

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterc10:
Hi

Has anybody successfully paired their Hero with a Bury CC9060 car kit so that it plays music please?

I have just bought myself a used car that comes complete with this car kit. I connected by BT straight away with no problems - it even managed to sort of synch my phone book. It says I am connected for both phone calls and media, i.e. both handsgree and A2DP profiles (which the Bury supports).

Phone calls work well on handsfree profile but I can't get any sound out of the media that uses A2DP profile - either my music player or my sat nav directions. They think they are connected because there is no sound coming from the phone loudspeaker and because the music player on the Bury stops and starts the music player on the Hero. Everything except sound!!!!!

Not too worried about the music player but I am getting no directions from my sat nav (Sygic Mobile Maps) or camera warnings. I really need this function. Have spent all day pulling my hair out trying to cover all the bases.

Any ideas would be welcomed please.

Freezing issues?

Wow, every single Win Mo device I've bought has had 2b reset or restarted do to freezing, in most cases the same day, more particularly to do with using the internet. But I have to say I just got my hd2 about 3 days ago and it hasn't missed a single beat, even when on the opera AND explorer browsers, and I mean, not a SINGLE BEAT. This is very surprising. Maybe the newer ones have been updated or something.....

[HD2 General] Derbyman32:
Small problem.. that may never happen...but as in the above thread I flashed your rom and it changed the splash screen. I had the tmobile splash originally. I am not sure I will need it but just in case I have warranty issues could anyone point me to the US tmobile flash in case I would ever need it. I am actually glad its gone because your splash screen looks so much better... but just in case?

Thanks if you can help:)
[HD2 General] osokrayzay:

any warranty repairs / claims you would need to flash the stock 2.10.1 rom onto the phone anyway, thereby restoring the splash screen :)

[Dash 3G, Snap General] kngharv:
Dear all:

I am using HTC Snap GSM version (S521), Generic unlocked version.

there is one annoyance which I don't find in the pocketPC version which I would love to get it fixed. I am not sure where is the problem lies.

The issue is that when I send SMS/MMS, i can't just start typing the name of the person and expect the application automatically filter/complete the name of the recipient. Instead, I have to press "enter" to get into the address book and select the name there.

Is there a way I can just auto complete it by some sort of registry fix?

thanks in advance

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
First of all - I've never tried to deodex anything before, so I've got zero experience with this or with Java development. So maybe I'm doing something fundamentaly wrong without even realising it.

Anyway. For days now I've been trying to deodex the Legend WWE files or any other odexed ROM for that matter (ie. I've tried deodexing the official Sense UI 32A ROM), but still no success. I'm getting really desperate (thus me asking here instead of trying to solve this on my own), cause I really don't know what I'm doing wrong and I can't find anything relevant to help.

I decompress and deodex the apks/jars like this:

unzip filename.apk
baksmali -d ./core -c :necessar_classfile1.jar:necessary_classfile2.jar -x filename.odex
smali out -o classes.dex

The "core" dir obviously contains a copy of the ROM framework files (unodexed). This works just fine and deodexes any apk/jar from the Legend RUU without any errors except for RSS.apk and com.htc.rss.jar which throw up dependency errors, but I don't think those two files are that essential, at least not for succesful basic startup of the ROM itself. And besides, as I've said, I've tried other ROMs which didn't give me any errors at all and all files deodexed without a hitch.

Then I recreate the apk/jar like this:

aapt p -F filename.zip apkdir
zipalign 4 filename.zip filename.apk

I get a nice full set of APKs/JARs. However, if I make a ROM package with these files, there's a *slight* problem - none of the ROMs have made it past boot animation. The best I've managed to do on any of the ROMs I've tested was to get to the point just before the boot screen should switch to system/lockscreen and show the PIN keyboard. Every time this happens, there are misc. uncaught exceptions in log and system server just dies. So obviously my deodexed files are somehow corrupted. The question is - what do I do wrong?

The zipalign has nothing to do with it, I've tried. I've tried using dedexer instead of baksmali. Nothing. I've heard that you need JDK 1.5 for the deodexing - tried the whole process on my usual setup, which is Arch64 box with JDK 1.6, but also on Ubuntu 32bit with JDK 1.5 and on XP with JDK 1.5 - no dice, the end result is always the same (although the JDK was always a newer version than the odexed apps/jars show in the MANIFEST.MF file - can this be a problem?). If I try to decompile some already deodexed jar/apk using baksmali to get the .smali files and then compile them again using smali back to classes.dex, the resulting app/jar works just fine.

Am I missing something here? Any ideas on what's wrong? Thanks for any idea or suggestion.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JesusFreke:
Well, the main problem here is that you aren't deodexing anything :). Deodexing is the process of reversing odex files so that they only use normal dex instructions. You are just disassembling the dex file. There is no reason to disassemble the dex file, and then immediately re-assemble it with smali, if you're not making any changes to the disassembled files. In short, if there are no .odex files, there is no need to deodex it, because there is nothing to deodex :)

Also, you don't have to unzip an apk to use baksmali on it. If you are just disassembling an application, you can specify the apk/jar file directly, instead of unzipping it and specifying the classes.dex file. For example, you can simply do:

baksmali filename.apk

Finally, the -d option is used to tell baksmali where it can find the framework files that the odex file is dependent on. If you have extracted the rom and left it in the normal structure (i.e. you have a system/apps dir and a system/framework dir), then assuming you are currently in system/apps, then you would specify -d ../framework. If you want to change the name of the directory that all the smali files are output into, use the -o option.

This is mostly correct. But you can also simply replace the classes.dex file in the zip/apk/jar directly, with any program that can work on zip files.

The problems you are experiencing are likely due to signing issues. Most system applications use shared ids with other system applications and with the system itself, and all apks using a shared user must be signed with the same keys. If you are working with an "official" rom, you obviously don't have the key that was used to sign everything. The solution is to resign everything yourself, either with your own key or with the standard "test key".

Also, you can use adb logcat to show a log while the phone is booting. It should show any errors that occur, and help you debug what is going wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
Oh, in that case I really don't get it at all I guess, because I thought that in order to "deodex" a file, I need to disassemble the .odex file using "baksmali -x file.odex" and then just reassemble it again with smali as classes.dex, which is what I'm doing here. I did get this impression from your deodexing guide on baksmali pages (although you don't mention the part about reassembling the files, yeah) and a few other mentions about deodexing here and there on XDA and other forums and also solidified it by having a look at crzyruski's "auto deodexing script" for Windows, because I think that's precisely what the script is doing. I thought that just by disassembling the .odex baksmali in effect "pulls" classes that the file depends on from other core files into the one being disassembled and reassembling with smali integrates those into the internal classes.dex so that the APK/JAR becomes self-standing and does not depend on other files anymore.

But if what I'm doing is not the correct way to deodex a file, as you say, then I obviously have absolutely no idea how the deodexing really is done :( So after disasembling the odex file into smali files I need to modify those further (manually and with the knowledge of Java/Dalvik, I presume?) and THEN reassemble them?

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to remove that unzip part from my example, I took it out of a very basic script I've made and just modified the filenames to generic ones before posting the example here. I'm unzipping the files because I want to optipng them before repackaging, not because I thought it's a necessary step for using baksmali. Sorry about the confusion.

See before. And I wanted to use the proper tool for repackaging the APKs/JARs because I've seen APKs that were corrupted by using regular ZIP on them, ie. I've seen "the OGG problem" a few times as also mentioned by brut here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5136912&postcount=871

I've had those problems with signing and did resign the whole ROM and they disappeared, at least from the log, so I don't think what I'm experiencing is related to that - at least the log no longer shows any problems with signatures, it's just those uncaught exceptions coming up that are not there when using the original .apk+.odex. I don't see anything obvious in log pointing at some kind of specific problem with the files.

Anyway, thanks for the reply, much appreciated, even though now I'm even more lost than I thought I was...
