Best way to replace sense apps with AOSP apps.

Find the AOSP apps from a CM6 build by unzipping and pulling the .apk file like browser.apk. Install "File Expert" (Free and amazing file browser with full root access and alteration capablilities application)

Copy the .apk you wish to have on to your phones SD Card

Run File Expert,

hit menu/more/File Explorer settings. Then check "Root Explorer" on the bottom.

hit menu/more/mount/Mount As Read Write

Browse to /System/Apps Find the App you wish to replace with the AOSP version.

Hold Down on the App and when the options come up choose file operations and rename to something like application name.apk.bak

Browse to your SD Card find your app. hold down to choose file operation then choose copy.

Go back to /System/Apps then hit Menu button and choose paste.

Locate the app you just pasted and hold down on it and in file operations choose "permissions" Check Everything and exit out of File Expert

Note: You may need to redo the shortcuts for the app on your desktop and or launcher.

Note: Must have a rooted phone.

Note: 2.3.3 apps may or may not work on 2.2 Android Roms and vise versa.

Note: if this causes errors or failures delete the new apk and rename the old apk to its orginal name.

Good luck!!

apparently its just a matter of changing a few .pngs in what we already have (no matter the build?) but im too scared to f*ck with it
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kys89012345:
ill try it lol i just need a guide or something
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] N0J:
just replace them in the apk with the ones you want (same name), then build a install zip, sign it, and push via adb or install via RA
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kys89012345:
can i have a little more details?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aauussttiinn88:
hey NOJ what file would i play with to get the font to green with your theme:confused: love it BTW:cool: hope your having as good of a holliday as i am
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kys89012345:
how would i open and edit the files?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] N0J:
Thanks!

not bad, although I'm just now getting to relax and enjoy...

TBH, I've never been very good with xml modding.

That's were I ask favors from flipz, lol :o
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aauussttiinn88:
lol its all good...thats what nandroid is for i guess...good lookin on the theme tho....i wanna put a disc golf one together :cool:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] N0J:
in alot of the roms I've used, there have been 3g variations in the files, just not in the right place or named correctly for CDMA. You can grab those if you want or create your own. Name them the same as the ones you want to replace. Open the apk with winzip or whatever app you use, find the files you want to replace, then drag the new ones into the apk.

If you get a prompt about encryption, choose other, then no encryption.

After that, build a folder structure just as if the app would be in the phone.

ex: system/framework/

- place the apk inside of the framework folder, and zip it.

- next you need to sign the zip, I'd use flipz's kitchen

- install via RA (place on sd card, reboot into recovery and install)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] N0J:
with your favorite graphic editor, their png files.

beyond that, you might want to make a request in the thread where you got the ROM.

what ROM and addons are you using anyway?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
here's a metamoprh zip that will change to 3g icons, and nothing else.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mountaindont:
hey man thanks!!

but, back to the long way. i found the right file, (using regaw mod, comes with the 3g icon) what do i change it to?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kys89012345:
thank you for the zip I booted into recovery and flashed it but i still have the EV?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
it's not a zip you flash. Download metamorph from the market, and install it from there.

and mountain... I just used the default 3g icons in framework-res.apk and placed them into com.htc.resources.apk with the metamorph
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kys89012345:
thankx guys I got it working
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
no problem
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sina702:
I installed MetaMorph, but at the beginning it says start basic checks to see if your phone can run, and it just hangs there and says its not responding, asks to wait or FC, please help

Nice guide I actually want to began building my own roms soon
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
Make sure you have not mounted your sd card, and make sure you have root, super user, and the latest busy box. Easiest way to check is to run titanium backup (free on market)

okay so i can not get android to run on my fuze with an 8 gig class 6 card. i have tried everything but i need to format the memory card not normally a problem but i do not have a card reader that can read micro sd and the sd adapter is not working, so i need a windows program that can format the card via windows mobile, any one have any success with anything?

-----------------------------UPDATE---------------------------------------

The HP tool in post 8 worked flawlessly it saw the micro sd as the full 8 gigs right away wiped it perfectly and formated beatifully thank you very much for your help guys hope this will help others too

*i formated my sd card by plugging it into the computer and selecting to use it as a disc drive and it was perfect

and im now running android :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] shutterbc:
I had the same problem... well actually I lucked out and a coworker lent me his reader. However, I'll probably use the "Storagetools" by SoftWinter next time.

Does that help you? (Sorry I'm too new to be able to post a link... :o
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
What about plugging in your phone and using it as a mass storage device? Just as good as having a reader IMHO.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jul644:
.

i cant seem to get that when i make it act as a disc drive i can only view the devices memory
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Uhm... what? The devices memory as in the SD card?!? Because if you're not using Activesync and you have it acting as a mass storage device, the ONLY thing you'll see is the card in My Computer. If you see a "Windows Mobile Device" and you can explore your entire phone (internal memory and external, SD card memory) then you're Activesync'ing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jul644:
its realy weird it is only letting me format 199mb of space and when i did it comes up as storage card and then a storage card 2 pops up saying 7400 mb (aprx) of space aviable

and the suggested program is not working (it cant format the sd card or defrag it)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] pyraxiate:
You will need a partition editor. What seems to be happening is that your card is for some reason partitioned into two. The way to repair this is to use an editor ( QTPART in linux or Disc Utility in OSX ). Sadly I believe that windows utilizes a bit switch on the card which is preventing you from using windows to manage the cards partition table. Try using a friends mac to format the drive as 1 single partition again.

I hope this helps you some!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
You are definitely partitioned... I don't get how people manage to keep partitioning their cards. I *think* the HP tool to wipe cards will wipe partition tables as well, I'm not positive tho. Worth a shot if all you've got is Windows.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] jul644:
might be a windows thing?:S but its noo big deal the portion for me as i have it as were i put games on my sd card so its fine but whats weird is i was able to run android on this card before but now nope lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Definitely not a "Windows" thing. There may be a way to partition cards in Windows, but it certainly would not partition your card by default. Let us know if you can't get it sorted.... Either way you need to wipe the partition table and start clean with just 1 partition.

If you used a Treo/Cenrto in the past year you might of seen this and if not this is the way it worked.

You swipe your finger from the bottom of the screen up and a little launcher would come up. This would happen in any program that you were in. The point was to give you 5 apps to open from any where you were. I know we can just push and hold home to get the past 6 apps run, but it would be cool to have something like this on Android. Has anyone seen anything like this for Android?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
That's in WebOS too.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aauussttiinn88:
looks ahelluva lot cleaner on webos lolol but yea would be a sick integration to android...anything that somewhat resembles that is laggy as **** tho (home replacement apps)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] srkmagnus:
Wasn't TealOs discontinued due to infringement on the WebOs software? Or it being very close to WebOs design? I remember reading something about Palm issuing a notice to the Dev to stop it's distribution.

It would be interesting to see something like this on Android.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] DirtyShroomz:
It would be sick for something like that on android
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chaos67731:
Yep, Palm got all kinds off mad! Someone found a way to make there old OS to look and act like there new OS in under 30 days! LOL But the dev had a few weeks to put out some great updates before pulling off his site.

Seeing that Android is a way better OS than the old Palm OS I would guess this should not be to hard, but then again I an not a dev and could not even begin to understand what it would take.

At about 2 mins in the video you can see the wave,

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] srkmagnus:
That's what I figured. I came from a Centro myself and remembered seeing the application before WebOs was even released.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bobsbobbers:
It was absolutley available before the pre came out and thats why palm asked them to cut it out. I made an effort to grab it for my 700p on the last day so i was able to use it and it did work surprisingly well. I also added a podcasting app and between that app and the TealOS launcher the thing still does 60% or more of what the pre can do today. Then I moved to android :D:D

Yep, I've disabled it, then turned it on after I connect USB, I've had it enabled before i connect usb, i've had it disabled before connecting, and nothing at all.
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
you try fastboot while usb plugged in?...just had to do this to my boys phone then from there went to recovery and wiped everything and reflashed
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
how exactly do I do that?
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
hold volume down and power at same time

then its somewhat like a recovery screen

if thats all iw as supposed to do, is press and hold vol down + power at the same time, then check adb devices, then that didnt work either. this POS is about to go through my window.

did you wipe the device through it?

Then type adb devices

See if your device shows up. If it does, everything should work at that point.

The wireless carrier creates the RUU for the phone, not Flipzmode, myself, or anyone else.

Also, not sure it is resolved since this issue is posted in four threads with a bunch of people responding.

If it isn't resolved, try running this RUU from Sprint:

[General Questions and Answers] sam_a200:
Hi Guys.

I need help in buying a new phone. I am using a Hyundai A 200 with winmo 5 and i have'nt had any problems with it except for its massive size and low battery life. I wanna go for a new smartphone so after a long research and review reading decided to go either with HTC, Samsung and Motorola. The devices i was satisfied with were HTC HD2, Samsung I8000 OMNIA 2 and Motorola Milestone (DROID). :)

Price wise HTC HD2 - 28k, Samsung Omnia 2 - 28k and Moto Milestone - 27.5k [Am from India].

A few days ago i visited a mobile shop for a hands on approach to clear my doubts and finally decide. I Liked all the three devices but obviously sided with the HTC HD2. Things that actually blowed my brains were the sheer screen size, responsiveness, capacitive touch screen, 1Ghz Processor & SENSE... Though the Touchwiz interface of Samsung and Android Of Moto were Good but HTC Hd2 was just awesome. It was when i came home and started reading reviews of HD2 in-depth that i realized its

camera had a pinkish hue, the device hung up (getting up from sleep mode)

etc, that was disappointing. :(

I dont wanna spend 34k and end up with a laggy phone. I also read that the codec support in OMNIA 2 was way better than in HTC HD2 (not and issue cos I can always convert it to suppored formats :D ). The guy from the mobile shop told me android sucked esp since file transfers over bluetooth were'nt possible (but later i read that rooting made that possible), and my friends told me that Applications couldn be installed on the SD card in android but i read in the forums yesterday that an app "app2sd" or something similar made this possible. I am open to both Win Mo and Android.

So now am really confused :( I want to know if the HTC HD2 has these flaws and if custom ROM's covered these flaws? Should I go for HTC or SAMSUNG or MOTO? Which one is really worth the money?

Am gonna use the device for reading e-books & lotsa documents (esp Word and excel files), listen to music and watch a few videos, Gaming (occasionally), as a portable camera and video recorder (shots are gonna be indoors mostly so if someone could give me the results of indoor shots it would be really appreciable) and calls, texts and mails, of course!

I also noticed the poll results for the Best HTC device of 2009 and HTC HD2 bags 46.90% :)

Everything is pointing toward HTC HD2, so if I get a positive outlook for owners i would go ahead with it or i have to look into the alternatives. so, Please do update me with your suggestions and views.

Also do let me know if I should consider some other device or wait for another few months if any better device is in the making :p

Thank you in advance. :)

Anyways, go with Android, man. I would be so pissed moving from Android to winmo. I like my apps too damn much. I think I'm breaking down and getting a nexus one. Even after I swore I'd never get anything without a physical keyboard again. =[
[General Questions and Answers] Austin021296:

[General Questions and Answers] sam_a200:
Android's still got a lota snags right or thats what i understood after reading a lot of posts in this forum. Its Open source so we can expect nothing but the best and comparing it to the i phone or winmo doesnt do it any justice... Which is the better phone for the Android platform??? I was thinking of Se Xperia X10 or HTC Legend..... But after going through XperiaX10's wishlist i have second thoughts.... :)
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
The Nexus is an awesome android device...and I don't have any snags that can't be tweeked ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Bulldog:
wow all the prices are very high.. you say HD2 cost still 34K which is circa 5900HKD here in Hong Kong the HD2 goes for 24.5K (4200HKD)

Anyhow as previously some mentioned if you need to sync with your PC and with Microsoft outlook for your PIM WM is the best.

Until now I can’t really see the advantages of Android over WM and especially Motorola which has not much devices on the market therefore it will be difficult to get support even here.

For my opinion it comes down to HD2 or Samsung. Between them I would choose HD2. However again for my opinion paying 34K for device that will not get an official upgrade is far too high.. I hope you guys going to not kill me but what is the price for Iphone???
[General Questions and Answers] sam_a200:
I definitely agree but Nexus is being "thinned" for India.... I don know why we get all the Thinned and mini versions... :(
[General Questions and Answers] sam_a200:
I got a cofirmation mail from my phone retailer that the price is actually 28 k and not 36 k as mentioned in their site.... :)

Moto is out of my mind too... HTC legend and se Xperia x10 were taken up in favor of android but still HD2 kicks butt when it comes to screen size.... :p

Iphone 3GS 32 GB is 39 k here.... :rolleyes:

Hello, just installed the leaked sprint hero 2.1 rom on my phone. The rom works okay except that I have too restart my phone every time someone calls me or I try to call someone. This is rather annoying and now I would like to revert back to 1.5. I created a backup with nandroid but I can't seem to restore it properly. I have installed fastboot and followed the directions on how to use it with nandroid but fastboot.exe doesn't execute because it can't find the adbwinapi.dll file. I have this file (along with fastboot) both in my System32 directory and in the android-sdk/tools directory so I don't knowwhy fastboot can't find it. Is there any other way to restore with nandroid?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aauussttiinn88:

positive i wish i had more options. Also, my computer won't even recognize that my phone is plugged in when I'm in recovery mode or the bootloader.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkirton:
Clear data sounds like the bootloader.

Try this. Power off the phone. Hold down the HOME button. While holding the HOME button, press the POWER button. Wait for the phone to vibrate, then release the HOME button.

That should boot straight into recovery (if recovery is installed).

I think if you hold the home button too long, I think it will go into the bootloader menu.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sketchfighter:
Tried that and got picture of my phone with a little hazard symbol maybe this means I need to install recovery mode? and how would I go about doing that?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killacammiami:
hmm i know when i hold home and end key for short second it asks me to clear all data or end ... wat i do is hold home + end for a long time until the ra pops up
