This is a video toturial I made for modifying ROMs. Here's the things in the video:

1. How to remove or add apps

2. How to replace the boot screen

3. How to replace other things and sign it

Please remember to read all comments and everything on YouTube about the video before asking questions. I am not going to respond if the question already has been asked

i now know how to add apk files to an update.zip, but the bootanimation.zip just went right over my head
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Rubinski_be:
If i want a new bootscreen, do i have to make a whole new custom rom, or can i just flash the new bootscreen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2500726:
You can just delete all other files and folder so you only have fx if your bootscreen is placed like this: META-INF and system system> customize> resource>bootanimation.zip

That should be your only files and folders. Of course if you your bootscreen is placed in data/local/bootanimation.zip then that should be your only directories and files;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] scottbethell:
Limit?

Really like this and it would make trying different Rom easier for me but is there a limit to the amount of apk's you can add or a maximum Rom size?

Have tried again and again over the last couple of days to add 32 (free market apk's) to VillianRom12 but can only get a successful flash at around 12 Apk's and a Rom size of 122mb.

All other tries give me an Error while flashing saying something along the lines of "Error with Line 11" and "Flash aborted".

After a successful flash and reboot 'SD & Phone storage' says I have 158mb of Internal Phone Storage is that different storage to where the Rom is Flash.

If this is not possible can I flash an Update.zip with just the apks?

Thanks. A bit of a Noob.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2500726:
Yes I think there's a limit of how many apps you can add you just have to install the rest manually;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Rubinski_be:
I installed the new Pancake ROM on my HTC Tattoo. I can't find the location of my current bootscreen. Do i have to replace the bootscreen.zip in the ROM and flash this ROM, or do i just have to copy the new bootscreen to my sd-card and find the location to paste it at the right place?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2500726:
I might misunderstand you but I think from what i'm reading you can do both things;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Rubinski_be:

Hi,

Very nice idea and good tutorial.

But for me, it doesn't work.

I want to add EsFileExplorer to my FroydVillan 1.0.0 (Froyo 2.2) rom.

I copy the file in app folder, i save, i signe my new rom.

I flash my HTC Hero, all is OK, but when i want to use EsFileExplorer, Android says: "Must close ES File Explorer (process .com.estrongs.android.pop). Please try again".

Can you help me ?

Thx

PS: I try with Astro file explorer and same issue
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2500726:
My post no. 200:D LMAO:p

That happens sometimes. Not all apps work when they are put in system/app. Try putting them in data instead. If that doesen't work you just can't do it with those apps and you'll have to install them from market...

BTW are you sure these apps are Froyo compatible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] walkinhotdog:
A list of what the apps are and whether they are safe to remove would be really helpful. Although probably a lot of work to compile. Just a suggestion. Great tutorial though
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2500726:
Yeah that would be nice but right now i'm working on a new version of my theme for the new version of Cronos Droid...
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
I know a lot of you are bored of mounting SDcard all the time just to add/install a file on your phone, and running commands (push) through ADB is a bit waste of time so i created a small registry adition for Windows to be able to send/install any file at your Phone with just a click.

Download the zip below and edit EDITME.reg with your apropriate SDK directory and just run SendToPhone.bat/Install to Phone.bat.

Send to Phone

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Send to Phone]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Send to Phone\command]
@="[COLOR="Red"]<SDK DIRECTORY GOES HERE!>[/COLOR]\\platform-tools\\adb.exe push %1 /sdcard/"

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]NOTICE![/COLOR] MS for some reason requires double slashes between dirs

[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]EXAMPLE: @="G:\\sdk\\platform-tools\\adb.exe push %1 /sdcard/"[/COLOR]

Install to Phone

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shell\Install to Phone]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shell\Install to Phone\command]
@="[COLOR="Red"]<SDK DIRECTORY GOES HERE!>[/COLOR]\\platform-tools\\adb.exe install %1"

[Android Software Development] dancer_69:
Excellent idea, thanks
[Android Software Development] marak210:
awesome, will this work with all files?
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
yep! all files except folders. if you want it specificaly for lets say apks, change "*" to ".apk"
[Android Software Development] OneTwoPi:
Because \ is the default for special characters when interpreting strings i.e. \t is typically a tab-character. To use \ in a string you then have double \\.
[Android Software Development] mpg187:
Is there a program you installed that made the APK have an icon, or did you manually edit the file associations?
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
haha no it's just an image that i renamed from png to apk :P
[Android Software Development] pakjebakmeel:
It's called an escape character. Brilliant idea though, simple yet very effective and time saving.. I read it and thought "duh".

Where's regedit on my Gentoo box anyways? :highfive:
[Android Software Development] darkerm:
Can you tell me what exactly is "SDK directory"?

I didn't install Android SDK too, will I have to install it to use this tweak in my PC?

Also, is there any way to show "APK Thumbnail in Win 7" ?
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
SDK directory is where the sdk is installed. if you didnt install it, it is where adb.exe is located

Download adb from here and link to that directory
[Android Software Development] darkerm:
Not Working :(

Here is what I did.

I downloaded the Zip and Extract it in a Folder Name ADB. Then I copy the Folder to C Drive in my PC

I changet this To

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shell\Install to Phone]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shell\Install to Phone\command]
@="[COLOR=DarkGreen]<SDK DIRECTORY GOES HERE!>[/COLOR]\\tools\\adb.exe install %1"

This

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shell\Install to Phone]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shell\Install to Phone\command]
@="[COLOR=DarkRed]C:\\ADB[/COLOR]\\tools\\adb.exe install %1"

Can ya tell me what am I doing wrong?
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
open command prompt (Start-run-cmd). Navigate to C:\adb and type adb devices

Does it display anything?
[Android Software Development] darkerm:
Look at this mate

View attachment 1416902

BTW, Do I have to Turn on USB Debugging?
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
yep. debuging must be enabled (adb = android debugging bridge) and your phone's drivers must be installed
[Android Software Development] da_muffin:

Open file with?

When i try to push this to my phone from context menu i get "Open file with" prompt, what can i do about it? do i have to have any special progs to send this to my phone? :(
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
Guys, you have to have adb installed
[Android Software Development] titanreign:
A little note

adb.exe has been moved, the path should become "<SDK DIR>\\platform-tools\\adb.exe"
[Android Software Development] nitephlight:
awesome hack bro- will definately use the **** about this. i take it that with a simple modification this could support ADB wireless? assuming of course you assign your phone a static IP on the LAN..
[Android Software Development] 3llomi:
Thanks Man it's AWESOME :)

but it's only Work when the apk name has no spaces (i am talking about install to phone)

When the apk name has spaces it's open CMD and close quickly it says "invalid Apk file!!

any solution to this problem??
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
I havent touched this in ages :) let me get back to you tonight
[Android Software Development] 3llomi:
ok bro i'm waiting

Thanks for your supoort :)
[Android Software Development] ‬1‬:
does it work with wifi?
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
I tried it last night for a couple of hours, but I have windows 8.1 now and it doesn't work at all to test it.

can you try editing the EDITME.reg file and add "" to the %1 like so "%1"

@="<SDK DIR>\\tools\\adb.exe install "%1""

or

@="<SDK DIR>\\tools\\adb.exe install \"%1\""

I am trying to make it work for 8.1 to test it, if I can't do it () I will install 7 on a VM and fix it this weekend
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
Type in cmd (run as Administrator)

adb connect ***wifi.ip.address***:5555

example: adb connect 192.168.0.105:5555

and then it should work [link]
[Android Software Development] 3llomi:
Thanks Man, the second code is working (@="\\tools\\adb.exe install "%1"")

i was testing it on VM too(Windows 7 ) and it's working :)

but it's not working on my base OS (Windows 8) :(

hopefully you get solution to this problem

Thanks Again

[update] i made it work on windows 8 64 bit by using Right Click Enhancer Application on windows and put the command (c:\platform-tools\adb.exe install "%1")

And it's Worked :D
[Android Software Development] LyNChP1N:
I was looking for this and I have modified above script to work properly for directories with spaces in its name. Simply change %1 in above script to \"%1\"

Thanks for the original version.

1. Install ADB Platform Tools for windows from official website

2. Extract the platform tools to 'C:\' such that your adb directory becomes "C:\platform-tools"

3. Copy the following code and paste it into a new .txt file created on your Computer.

Save it and change extension to .reg. Double click the file to install the registry entry.

3. Create a folder named 'ADBPush' in base directory of your internal storage on your phone - using a file manager. Create a folder named 'ADBPush' in root of your hard drive,i.e, C:\

4. Enable developer options and enable usb debugging on your mobile, accept the request for usb debugging access seen on your phone when you try to run adb command for the first time.

5. You can do this through wireless adb as well but first, you must use the command 'adb connect 192.168.xxx' to connect adb wirelessly first. Replace ip address with your phones current ip adresss.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ADB Push to Phone]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ADB Push to Phone\command]
@="\"C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe\" /k C:\\platform-tools\\adb.exe push \"%1\" /sdcard/ADBPush/"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\ADB Push to Phone]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\ADB Push to Phone\command]
@="\"C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe\" /k C:\\platform-tools\\adb.exe push \"%1\" /sdcard/ADBPush/"

Done!

Now you can simply right click context menu to push files using adb - as simple as copy paste

Absolutely convenient and fast. You can push whole folders as well. MTP sucks

Hi Guys,

Using Myns Warm Donut.

Since this morning its started really playing up.

I cant launch any program, dialer, contacts, sms, astro etc.

It either comes up closed unexpectedly (for sms, dialer, etc) or like astro, it says its licence has expired?

I havent installed or changed anything on the phone to make it go wrong.

I have tried all the usual ways of resolving, eg, fixing permissions, clearing dalvik cache.

I really dont want to lose my sms, data, etc so dont want to reinstall, please help.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,

Tom,

You could also try clearing Dalvik Cache and Fix Permissions, sometimes helps, and does not clear data, ( apart from the Dalvik Cache itself).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] XCougar:
Hi,

Already tried clearing dalvik cache, etc, no effect.

Tried backing up, reinstalling, and restoring, but as soon as I restore it all goes back to how it was and everything starts crashing again.

Ive had to lose all my data and start again. =(

Is there any program I can run to backup sms, mms, emails, etc?

Thanks,

Hey guys...

when I started Layar the first time I recognized a slightly sloping horizon (when putting the phone into landscape mode, the horizon is about 0,5cm higher on the left than on the right side of the display).

After trying some "spirit level"-tool I also saw some offset.

Anyone else having similar issues or does anyone know how to calibrate the sensor?

Thanks in advance!

I have exactly the same problem with my phone. No idea how to calibrate the sensor :s
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicky:
I'm using the shipped firmware JF3. Maybe someone with the newer version could check if it's fixed.

I also checked the "Sensor"-menu in the secret menu with *#0*#. Under "MAGNETIC Sensor" it has a PITCH of 4,0 and a ROLL of 3,0 which both should be "0" I guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooki3s:
Think you need to wave the phone in an "8" to calibrate it.

Edit: http: //www.iphonelife.com/sites/iphonelife.com/files/u2440/compass8.jpg This link shows the process for an iphone, it's the same for every other magnetic sensor

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicky:
Waving a figure "8" does not have an impact on the tilt here, still an offset from 3-4 at PITCH and ROLL level :-(

Could anyone else try the system-menu to see if there are other values displayed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m06nj4:
Waving "8" can not solve this problems...

It is said that the g-sensor actually has a calibrating tool, "sensorcalibutil_yamaha"

It is under /system/bin/, you can see that with root explore.

I tried to run this service with adb, but Permission Denied......

hope someone can solve it...

There are many i9000 user meeting this g-sensor problem.(Y +24 degree)

This is really a bit problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitalij:
Calibration tool working perfectly, just calibrated myself.

But you need to have your phone rooted. Then just do this:

adb shell
su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha

then place your phone horizontally and still (remember that back of the phone is not flat - so do something so screen is horizontal), and press enter.

then restart phone and thats it!

I think the calibration data is stored in a file somewhere, when phone is reset that data will be lost and you need to calibrate again. Seems like some early Froyo builds have sensor calibration util easily accesible through settings menu.

Get a terminal emulator - search for terminal on Market. Type the following:

After you've typed "su", you'll get a pop-up asking if you want to let the terminal program have root access - just say yes. After starting sensorcalib_util, put your phone on a level table - let the thick bottom part of the phone stay over the table edge. Press enter. Reboot phone.

I had asked t-mobile if they thought it would be worth waiting for the update that was rumored to be out soon/the 18th, he said, they do not know what it fixes aside gps, that the gps problem was samsung using 2.2 files on 2.1 and that they had no date when *they* will get the update, then went on to get my address to mail a new phone. (This was android tech support, not customer service)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morfic:
Nice, which is why i asked TMO if they thought it's worth a shot to wait and see if flashing a new OTA update would clear this, but when i told him i wiped (figured something was screwy since installing app X or Y, but doesn't seem that way now) and that nothing changed on orientation, he went ahead and put in the order.

Since all i did was install apps between orientation working and not working i was hoping it was some app doing something affecting me globally, since on boot it says it finds the sensors, just fails later on when trying to use em.

I might see if i can flash a full stock rom via odin before shipping it back, after cleaning all my stuff off of the internal sdcard, just to see if it would have fixed it or not.

Btw, do you have a white square under your battery close to the battery contacts? Keep it dry if you do :) (red square == water damage, kind of surprised she answered when i asked why she wanted to know if it was white or red) (maybe because everyone but me already knew? :P )
