Nice
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sporkman:
im giving this a shot before i make my final turn ok choosing what launcher i like best

with adw how do i make it scroll from up and down instead of side to side ?

and how do i add more icons to the dock

tyvm for any and all help
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] extrafuzzyllama:
go to the adwlauncher under settings and its pretty self explanitory it gives options for drawer settings and homescreen

uncheck galaxy s style scrolling in drawer settings and enable dockbar under ui prefs

and i think u swipe up or down on the launcher to bring up dock and just drag and drop i think
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sporkman:
ok Dockbar is checked but i still cant add more then 2 icons to the bar sorry
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] extrafuzzyllama:
just drag the icons from ur homescreen to the dock

when at home screen place ur finger on the middle dots launcher icon then swipe up

then just drag icons on the dock then just swipe down with ur finger on the dock to bring the main launcher back

So I just got this setup in CM6, It would be nice if it didnt add a bunch of "ask me!!" phone numbers to my contacts.. i just wanted the pictures really as im only syncing with current contacts meaning i already have their number anyway. Possible to do that?
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hey, not sure if this really belongs here, or in General, but since its semi-hacking the system, I'll post here first.

It seems, so far, that Touchwiz isn't nearly as deeply integrated as Sense is, and that at least some of Samsung's Modified Apps can just be backed-up, deleted, and replaced with the stock apps from Android 2.1 (using apps ripped from CM5.0.8 for Nexus 1 for my attempts.)

So, I thought I'd start a list of stock Android 2.1 apps that people have made work on the vibrant. I know a lot of people are waiting for CM or other custom roms and alternate recovery images, but in the mean time, lets start customizing!

I have confirmed the following to work, but only after the original touchwiz apps are deleted from /system/app, then the stock apps are installed via the standard installer to /data/app and cp over to /system/app then reboot

Music.apk

DeskClock.apk

Calendar.apk

CalendarProvider.apk

GenieWidget.apk

Mms.apk (NEW! added 7/21/2010)

Another pleasant surprise, is that I now have the default Calendar, music, and news & weather widgets on my vibrant!

Again, adb push didn't work for anything since I can't remount with r/w access yet, but a su adb shell allowed me to busybox cp them to /sytem/app once they were installed.

I've tried the same method with the CM5.0.8 LiveWallpapers with no success, so maybe someone else has some suggestions?

My next step is to test out bringing the original phone.apk and contacts.apk/contactsprovider.apk over

7/21/2010

Got the default messaging app from CM 5.0.8 brought over, still having tons of trouble with the default dialer and contacts/contacts provider, samsung has buried their signature for these deep in android somewhere, even outside of /data/system/packages.xml so any attempt to install the CM versions even after removing the Touchwiz apps fail.

7/22/2010

Pushed ADW Launcher to system, works like a charm! However, removing the TouchWiz30Launcher apk/odex and replacing with adw or launcher pro generates constant FC's for me, so sadly, it looks like it has to stay installed for now.

cheers everyone!
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
where did you get the N1 files? I have been meaning to try this as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
I just downloaded CM 5.0.8 for the N1, and have been pulling the apk's out of /system/app

cheers!
[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
I actually installed the News & Weather app yesterday by just putting it on the SD Card and using ASTRO to install.. nothing special for that app.
[Vibrant Android Development] quickex99:
Where did you download it from?
[Vibrant Android Development] holysmokesbatty:
I was about to say the same thing, I just did an ADB install for this, didn't need to delete anything from data/app or anything.

It's cool to hear that the other stuff works though.
[Vibrant Android Development] holysmokesbatty:
The Gapps for 2.1, same CM Nexus thread.

Here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623496
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Sorry for the confusion about 'news and weather' I just meant I was unable to adb push the apk directly to system. It installs fine by default to /data/app but I wanted it in /system/app to survive resets, hence the busybox cp.

So far no luck with contacts/contactsprovider =(

Every version I try give me an install failed error, regardless of removing all traces of the samsung versions, even their references in /data/system/packages.xml
[Vibrant Android Development] Docavelli:
So is the music app from CM5.08 elliot's music mod?

XDA mobile
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
I'm honestly not sure how to tell if it is.

I pulled the Music.apk straight out of the /system/app dir from the CM 5.0.8 update for the Nexus 1.

cheers
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
can anyone provide News and Weather widget from stock OS. I think its the best news app.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Grab the 'Google Apps' addon for CM 5.0.8 for the nexus one, unzip it, and copy 'GenieWidget.apk' to your phone to install it.

cheers!
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
thanks. i thought it had a different name......
[Vibrant Android Development] vinnydakid:
I just did a google search for "download geniewidget.apk." It's much faster. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] cconrado:
its says failed install for me. you know what that could mean? i uninstalled the calendar but it wont let me install.
[Vibrant Android Development] decepticon:
Any word on if the stock launcher works? I don't really like ADW or Touchwiz
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hi again.

I haven't tried deleting the touchwiz launcher yet, but I'm using launcherPro Plus (and playing with ADW too, I really like that ADW supports the touchwiz horizontal style 'paging' in the app drawer, and hope launcher pro eventually supports it too) and they both work quite well, and should work fine when pushed into /system/app too.

Will update if I'm brave enough to remove the TW launcher, probably not tonight though, just spent the last 3 hours trying to get the stock dialer & contacts, and it was an epic fail, samsung has buried the touchwiz dialer/contacts signature deep, so no matter what I try, I always get an Install_failed_update_incompatible error when pushing the stock apps to the phone.

This is the same error I first received with the calendar, but a simple settings->applications->manage applications 'uninstall' of the remaining TWCalendar and Provider, and a reboot cleared that error, sadly that's not the case with dialer and contacts.

Maybe a wipe would fix this, but I'll wait another day or so to see how the clockwork custom recovery pans out, plus I need to make sure nandroid works so I can backup before I try that.

It also might be linked to something buried in the TW framework, I don't know, but I'm so not brave enough to mess with frameworks yet.

cheers everyone
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Root Explorer allows your mount and unmount system drives btw. :) I like using it over ADB bc I can do it on the bus or train while commuting.

If I want to install the Stock 2.1 Calendar App, do I need to install the Calendar provider apk as well? I know the answer seems obvious but I just want to check
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
I'm honestly not sure if the CalendarProvider.apk is necessary, but I replaced the touchwiz provider with it for good measure.

cheers.
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Okay, I keep getting App not installed error, Ive removed TW Calendar and TW Calendar provider apk and odex from system, but I still get the error when trying to install Calendar.apk

http://www.androidguys.com/2010/07/20/froyo-motorola-milestone-undecided

i think this is the last motorola phone for me..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rizdroid:
Harunjo -

You're not alone. :( Follow "Return your Milestone" on Facebook, or "First official info: No 2.2 for Milestone?" & "Froyo 2.2 - Milestone & Flash" on Moto Owners' Support Forum.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lesiroth:
What the hell is this crap? The Droid is getting 2.2, of course we should be getting it as well.

Unless..

I really REALLY hope they aren't thinking of not updating the Milestone to 2.2.

I mean, why would they not want to update the Milestone? The Droid is going to get 2.2, why not us? Not only do they trap us with their locked bootloader, but they want to keep us with an old firmware version?

Another point: Even if we do get 2.2, why not be open with us? Just after Froyo's announcement at Google I/O, HTC comes out and declares which of their phones will get a 2.2 update. Not to mention their devices do not have a locked bootloader.

What exactly do they stand to lose if they became open with the community and say: "We are currently working on an Android 2.2 update for the Motorola Milestone."

This was my first phone from Motorola, but it is definitely going to be my LAST one.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dcarr622:
If they fail to deliver Froyo they will face legal action...they advertised this phone as Flash 10.1 compatible, it says it right on my box!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kirbysuperstar:
Yeah, no. "Flash 10.1 ready" != whatever you think it means.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kkrraazzyy:
now they are really dumb
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] draven187:
I hope certainly they will bring out this update, It's a good device with great potential, it would be dump if motorola doesn't update this one. They will lose a lot of customers.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 1xinfusion:
its a shame, no other phone out in the market right now that is a slider qwerty and this sleek and thin.

they announce it to get us all hyped up.. then they release it.. with a catch..

motorola decides to screw around with its devoted customers. they don't realize how much money they can make from the milestone. open it up or release froyo.. or both! sigh

i wonder what the top executives of the company was thinking..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Coburn64:
If we don't get an official Android 2.2 ROM from Motorola, let's make a community-branded Motorola Android 2.2 Custom ROM and send them the ROM saying "Here's what you should have made, but you failed to deliver". Give 'em some Deja Vu.

Still, it's the same situation like the HTC Tattoo - No 2.2 Love. Seriously, why do you want 2.2 for? It's just like an add-on to Android 2.1... I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. Why not take the leaked Android 2.2 ROM for a spin?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vagelisda:
Because all the speed and the better baterry managment and all the goodies anyway,are not in the rom itself but in the kernel.

Kernel cannot be changed if there is a locked bootloader.

So we may have an almost working froyo port,but without the new kernel,it doesnt do all it is capable of.

So,we damn need an oficial froyo!!!! ::p:

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] CFORDv:
that would be funny and send them a few pics of the milestone running it :P
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] JPHCCFC:
confirmed that 2.2 is coming to the Droid by Motorola surely that means it is coming to the Milestone too:-

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/30001
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kalagas:
Nothing is sure....

For example Droid's bootloader is unlocked, Milestone's is locked...

As we have seen Motorola doesn't treat the same to their twins brothers (Droid and Milestone), giving to American users more than they are giving to Europeans

So if they don't give us an official report about froyo, nothing is sure...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Freakernoid:
Milestone is like a bastard child of motorola, occasionally if moto is in a good mood they might give some TLC. But all the attention is given to the real child droid, droid x.

Milestone was like an accident to them.... now with too many kids to support they decided to ignore the bastard child.....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Chad_Petree:
hahahahaha that was funny man, but yep motorola seems to dont care about the milestone, they give the best things to the droid =(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] harunjo:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pijes:
If I remember correctly, milestone got 2.1 earlier than droid and now droid gonna get 2.2 much earlier than milestone. Perhaps there is a reason for that considering the fact that droid was released only for american market thus less customizations and localizations compared to the milestone which was released in several parts of the globe, requiring more changes and tests. Even now they are still rolling out the 2.1 update, my guess, we won't see milestone getting 2.2 not until q4, with hope that they do work on the update.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Freakernoid:
I guess we won't have a problem if motorola said that 2.2 is coming to milestone and they can't confirm the date. But the fact is that they now said that its not confirm that its even coming. I guess thats what people are making a fuss about and not to mention the complete silence treatment is not helping.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] SophT:
I could really see Moto trying to start moving to using Android subversions as a selling point.

Oh, that phone's old, it has Android 2.2 - better buy a new phone that has 3.0

Requires no work on their part (except locking the bootloader) and they force users into buying new handsets to get software features. Look at all the handsets on the market- they're basically all the same hardware wise: 3.something inch screen, 1Ghz processor, 512ish RAM. Only the OS distinguishes this flood of phones.

Of course I'm talking about your non-power users here.

And as to the "why froyo?" post earlier: because the sholes_2.31 kernel (current UK rom) is buggy as hell and only a new kernel will fix those bugs, like not being able to wake itself up to ring an alarm...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pijes:
The 2.36 update will solve that.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] harunjo:
not completley fixed, still far from perfect for $600 phone like milestone...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] SophT:
But that's kind of the point- we have to wait for Moto to release it on their own sweet time. for the official UK rom, 36 isn't out yet, it's still 32. Hong Kong got the 36 update 2 months ago, and France is already on 38.

[Touch HD General] DaOptika:
Hello!

I just installed "Android 2.1 (Eclair) On HTC [27 Jun 2010] (V2.5a)" and got the "waiting for SDCard"-message.

After adding "msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave" it worked perfectly and I was able to start android.

After starting the photoalbum I restarted the phone to windows - but my sd-card wasn't recognized anymore :(

If I re-insert the card, it's there for about a second and then it's gone again...

I don't want to say that it has something to do with the installation of android, but it's kind of obvious, isn't it?
[Touch HD General] Mvrck:
Format it with the hp tool (HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool) then try to reinstall Android.
[Touch HD General] DaOptika:
The sd-card isn't even recognized by an extern sdhc-cardreader.

So I think it's dead.

How is that possible?
[Touch HD General] townkat:
yup, it happened to me too, and i think that it does have to do with android

here is my fix:

set blackstone in card reader mode

remove the card from blackstone

connect blackstone to pc

prepare a command prompt window in windows and type format x: /q but do not press enter yet (x is the letter wich windows will alocate for card when connected)

insert the card into blackstone and fastly press enter on the earlier typed command (the card only stays visible for a second or two)

sometimes you can recover some of the files from the card with some undelete program
[Touch HD General] DaOptika:
hmm, the problem is: my blackstone switches to activesync-mode automatically if there's no sd card present...
[Touch HD General] DaOptika:
ok, got card reader mode working, but formatting fails due to an IOCTL error :(
[Touch HD General] townkat:
try again, i may not remember the operations exactly but i got it fixed and i had exactly the same problem,

anyway, the ideea is important and not my tutorial exactly, the ideea is that card is formatable from windows in the first few seconds when it is visible in blackstone,

edit: i may also used wm5torage for this operation, try it too
[Touch HD General] germanicus38:
Have the same problem... SD-card isn't recognized anymore by my Blackstone :(

Going to try the hints in this thread
[Touch HD General] kizzarizz:
hi,

my 16 gb sandisk card broke a while ago while trying android on my blackstone.

The phone sees the card only for like 5 seconds, same happens when plugging it to the computer.

In the card reader the drive shows up, but i cant do anything with it.

I have tried soo many things:

Tried the panasonic. hp and sd formatter

From the phone, tried flash format, storagetools, pocket mechanic

Also combined it with cardexport or wm5torage

Today i found out the drive stays available while connected to the card reader, im downloading a couple of partition managers, will report back.

Anyone successfully fixed their sd card?

EDIT

I put my card in a couple of compact camera's, one camera could format the card and it started working.
[Touch HD General] DaOptika:
I bought a new sd card now :(

But i will try to format the old one with a camera, that's a very good idea!
[Touch HD General] DaOptika:
Okay, formating with a camera actually worked!!

Thank you!

FACT : You cannot share a paid app that you modified (themed)

ALTERNATIVE: This script.

This is for themer's who would like to share a paid app that they themed but can't due to the rules.

Instructions for the themer :

1. Download zip

2. Extract zip

3. Run script (RunMe.bat)

4. Enter information

5. It'll produce a .zip

6. This zip has all the necessities for a user to get ur theme onto their paid app (Just upload that zip for users)

Instructions for the user :

1. Download zip

2. Extract zip

3. Make sure phone is connected to pc

4. Make sure u have adb/java

5. Make sure the app is installed on ur phone

6. Run the script

7. Done

The script that this script produces does the following :

1. Pulls apk from phone <- This is the key, if apk is not on ur phone, u can't do anything ;)

2. Extracts apk

3. Replaces ur images/mods in folders u mentioned

4. Zips the apk

5. Signs the apk

6. Uninstalls that app from your phone

7. Installs themed apk

8. Done

Side-effects :

- Non froyo devices will be able to see that there is an update if they install the modified apk, however on froyo devices it wont

- U will not be able to update that app from the market, u'll have to uninstall that app, reinstall updated version from market and then apply the patch again.

[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Cool, let me know how it works out. ;)

im the one who pm you earlier

so i been playing with this script but it always ends up with a .zip that has an empty placeapkherefolde (going of memory) im sure im not putting right info in,i will play with it a little more

first thing i notice is when i extract the file from op,i dont have that extra folder as in the video
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Hmm the "placehere" folder is missing from my zip for some-reason. Regardless these are the steps u shud take :

1. Extract zip

2. U shud have (7za.exe,RunMe.bat,signapk.jar,testkey.pk8,testkey.x509.pem)

3. make a folder called "placehere"

4. Create folders inside as per need (refer to video for that)

5. Run the script

6. U'll end up with a zip where u just need to extract the zip and run the script inside.

I just tested it and i don't have an empty zip, try again and let me know.
