[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousjax:
Every once in a while Sprint will release a new radio that supposedly gives better reception and/or battery life. To get the best results, we usually flash these radios. It's as simple as finding the radio thread and flashing the zip file just the same as how you flash ROMs. But be careful, flashing the wrong radio CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE (only if you flash a different phone's radio). PRL is preferred roaming list, and can be upgraded in HTC sense ROMs settings. It doesn't do much except tell your phone which towers to connect to when your in Roaming mode. So use your discretion and be careful.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
a) you're right, this shouldn't be in the development forum, despite it being a question about adjusting the prl. questions belong in the threads of those subjects, or in q and a

b) you're not going to hurt anything by updating the radio and wimax radio

c) updating the radio/wimax radio may or may not affect the prl

d) there is not an easy way to update the prl or pri using cm6 right now. if you want to change the prl, and are using a windows machine, you can check out a program called 'cdma workshop'. i haven't used it, so i'm not going to vouch for it. other people have, and you can use it to dink around with several components of the underworkings of your phone.

So I tried flashing a nightly of CM6 on the INC. I'm new to rooting. I flashed the rom successfully and went to boot into it, only to find that I got stuck in a boot loop. I know I have to get back into recovery, but I don't know how to do so from the boot loop. I understand this is probably a stupid question, but please lend me a hand. Thank you!!

pull battery, then put back in and hold volume down plus power, then wait for bootloader to load then scroll down to "recovery" using the volume down key, then press the power button to select and you will be rebooted into recovery

Hey,

I know that a lot of the phones on this forum are made by HTC, and often re badged to other brands. Is this one of them? or do Samsung manufacture this themselves?

Matt
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Berserk87:
Samsung makes them.

I think Samsung makes all their phones, all their high-end phones are made in Korea and they send the cheapo phones to their cheapo lines in China.

so i love the new darkstone build and want to use it as my primary but i really really dont like the sense keyboard. i was wondering if it would be possible to change this to Darkstones original android builds keyboard?

anyone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] i rule123:
if you search on android market there should be smart keyboard pro, which has loads of skins to soot ur needs :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] niiza:
ah thank you! also, is there anyway to not use HTC messaging on the new build? so i can just use the android messaging client
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dlotters:
:D

I am not sure if you can switch to default or anything, but there are heaps of sms apps on the market, a couple of which are pretty good - once installed you can make it the 'default' app, disable notifications in the htc version and away you go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jhabdas:
Using the stock keyboard

I'm not sure what the old keyboard you were looking for looks like, but I was successful at adding the stock keyboard (with voice input) back as noted in my recent post in the thread titled "Froyo 2.2 Keyboard APK" (post 20).

Sense was was a great improvement for WinMo, but the UI kind of sucks (imho) for Android. I upgraded to the FroyoStone update the other day and it seemed more stable (less SoD, that's for sure). But the HTC junk scattered across the UI ruined it for me.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] yourfriendwayned:
I am pretty sure an easier step without using terminal on the phone to mount is to just use root explorer to mount r/w access - works well - I just throw the apk in there from SDcard and overwrite existing and then restart and boom done...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Root explorer works for some apks, but not all, So i used a method that does work for all.

Baby steps grasshopper :p

Have any of you tried using Stericson's NinjaMorph?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=674604
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
I would say give ninja morph a try after you are comfortable with the whole process of replacing images.

Ninja morph is basically what i outlined you are just navigating in one window only. Me, I need to have multiple windows. Adhd gets me too side tracked :D

Im sure some will end up preferring Ninja, hey to each their own. If it works better for that person. Awesome! Thats the thing is there are so many different ways to do this, its easy enough for everyone. Think how many more sweet themes we will have if we get more people involved.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] hacku:
Just used NinjaMorph to change out my Notification Bar background and it worked great.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
HA, LOVE IT!

your going to get requests for that one!

psst... could i get the pngs you used :o
[Droid X Themes and Apps] hacku:
Here you go... ;)

Just replace the image in framework-res.apk /res/drawable-hdpi
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Man that scared the crap out of me, used ninja to add that image. After it recompiled it and added it, it automatically restarted. I half expected that, kept my fingers crossed through the boot animation, when the animation finished it started over :eek::eek::eek:

but the second one finished and phone loaded. man that loop made my heart skip.

What the possibility of using this image in my soon to be posted framework?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] hacku:
I didn't make this image and take no credit for it. It was made by a forum user at DroidForums and was distributed freely for anyone to use so you should have no problems using it.

I have the image in the following colors if you're interested:

Black

Blue

Green

Pink

Let me know if you're interested in the others and I'll post them.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
awww, no red?!? :(
[Droid X Themes and Apps] quadjacks:
not sure i followed you correctly...

so i used your music.apk widget BG file which by the way was pixels 101x101.

the file i was replacing was pixels 103x103.

i resized the BG from your music to 103x103 and followed instructions, line for line and this is what i get...

Ive included the actual .apk i wanted modified, maybe i did something wrong

Haven't tried it on the Droid1 but it should work. Try at your own risk.

Yup, works on the regular old droid. Thats where I got my feet wet.:D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] quadjacks:
I used your method from the OP.

Su <hit enter>
Gives a # sign

Type
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system <hit enter>

now we need to copy (cp) the source file(/sdcard/Music.apk) to the source destination(/system/app)
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app<hit enter>

Make sure it is spelt right! In this case the M needs to be capitol not m
Also there is a space after cp and a space after the k

No we need to remount the system
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system<hit enter>
notice its now ro not rw

type exit<hit enter>
close out of the app
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Did you remove the original apk from /data/app?

I tried pushing it to/system/app with no luck...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] quadjacks:
Nope used your instrutions...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Wierd, the original app installs to /data/app, at least on my phone it does...., so if you followed my instructions, then you pulled it from there edited it then pushed it to /system/app. that right?

It should not register the new one then, odd..... hurray for learning! time to play. :D

Edit: I win, lol! finally got it to work. installed the dazzle widget from the market, made a copy, threw it on my comp. Only thing I did was pulled the black glass app widget png from the music file, didnt edit it at all, and droped it straight into the apk with 7 zip. threw it on the sdcard. Use the codes posted here which push it to the system/app location. Rebooted. Done!

Framework.apk

Probably right in front of me, but I downloaded the Droid X system dump, and can't find the framework.apk file anywhere in it. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Its not in the system/app its in system framework. If you need a copy I think teen faces has it in his status bar thread.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] gnomesarealive:
Thank you very much, I went to his thread and downloaded the framework-res.apk, then realized he has the exact thing I want already posted as a theme :D.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
I'm reading on other tutorials that you have to sign your apks after you edit them. I'm confused...

ex: http://www.androidevolve.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=10

what's the difference here? Because he's talking about pushing a whole theme as an update.zip and you're just manually hacking at a couple files?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
sorry for the late reply, but yes, im just hacking a few apk's then pushing them seperately. When I was making my theme, update.zips werent avail yet.

As far as signing goes I still havent needed to, but thats not to say person b wont. Im still trying to figure out the signing thing, its just on the back burner.:rolleyes:
[Droid X Themes and Apps] benclayton:
Does anyone know if a Vanilla android framework.apk for the DX exists?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
explain please.

the only thing in framework that isnt vanilla is the 2.2 lock screen.

'Vanilla' is more like no bloatware... or anything in system/app/blur*
[Droid X Themes and Apps] benclayton:
Ok, I probably didn't explain myself correctly. If I wanted to have the stock Android statusbar and statusbar icons, would I simply move the entire Framework APK over, or manually replace the images?

I'm looking for a "themed" framework with just the stock images, and wondering if the stock framework will cause any issues.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
but a "themed" framework have images changed, its been themed.... :confused:

are you trying to go back to bone stock? factory specs?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Took the images from the Android SDK and sorta mashed them into mine. So there might be issues, there may not.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS!

I created an apk for this request. Tested. Works.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7IVOK5PF

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6VVZXNLE

EDIT: INSTRUCTIONS

Download this vanilla.apk copy to root of /sdcard

Download the services.jar to root of /sdcard

THEN:
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
teenfaces status bar post has pure stock files, you could also check that out.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
The services.jar is the stock one. The apk is all the compiled .9.pngs from the SDK and others copied directly.

EDIT: On above note, DO NOT SIGN THE APK! IT WILL NOT WORK!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] intrloper:
BAH!!

I have tried to mod Pandora widget background and my loot app and both seem to break when i replace them.

I have found the .png files I wished to mod and photoshoped them. Left the names the same so didnt change them. I use 7zip to add the new files in and then the terminal cmds to push the modded apk and then it breaks it. I then need to redownload from market to fix.

I have tried also using root explorer and also ninjaMorph. The result is always the same.

Am i missing something or what could cause this.

I did check the permissions in root explorer and they are right. I also tried with ninjaMorph zipAlign and without. I am kinda annoyed by this atm.

Any help would be awesome. Also I am wondering if apps that you paid for are those able to be modded or not?

Thank you so much
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
I just started playing with theming a couple hours ago so you may want to wait for someone else to chime in but this is what i've been doing and its been working fine.

Open Root Explorer

Look for the apk in /data/app

copy and paste it onto sdcard

from your pc, mount the sdcard, grab the apk and do your edits

Copy the file back onto the sdcard

In root explorer, goto the edited apk on your sdcard and copy and paste that into /data/app overwriting the old one

I've only done this with a couple widgets but it worked fine. Paid apps should work also, but again, i'm still new to all this so I could be wrong.

Also, you should search this site for apktool and apkmanager. From what i'm reading you should be able to edit much more than images with those apps, including resigning and recompiling apks.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] intrloper:
Thank you for the reply.

I actually did that as well and for some reason it doesnt seem to work.

My main goal is to do something similar to the look battstatt does. with the transparent background and just the data over it.

Something clean and minimalistic lol.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Actually my method doesn't work. I'm able to change the look of the widget but once I reboot the phone, the app gets uninstalled.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
some apps must be resigned, some you can remove from data and push to system/app and it works. Trial and error is all i can say.

Signing is the best way, then you just open it with astro, uninstall old one, re open it then install. try changing one image first, a noticable one the IS NOT .9.png then resign it and install. Once you have that method down then move on.

.9.png are tricky and involves more learning. Google and search here and droidforums.net and youtube (there is one video on .9's) for topic on "draw9patch" and ".9.png"

trial and error reboot more trial and error and many more reboots are in your future when going down this road. I can give more specific help after the weekend :D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Brut.all:
Are tricky and undocumented. I have written short doc about them:

https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/wiki/9PatchImages
[Droid X Themes and Apps] phimuskapsi:
Not as tricky as modifying something like styles.xml. I would describe it more as "annoying".

You guys should not be using rootExplorer or Astro or whatever. ADB is your friend. Learn it. Love it. Since Brut.all is here, you should be using apktool (his tool). It's awesome. I use it for everything. Decoding/Re-encoding is the way to go for modifications. Thaqt way you can see if you are gonna get errors that will cause loops or uninstallations.

To edit something like pandora (BUT NOT FRAMEWORK-RES) you need to modify the files (if they are .9.pngs you MUST decode/re-encdode with apktool) You should actually decode then modify the decoded images, the re-encode them. Then you need to use something like Auto-Sign to sign the apks.

I have a guide, I'll try and post it tonight, but don't hold out. It's a lot of work and is getting huge (8+ pages so far).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Thanks, I've been putting off modifying *.9.png for now because it seemed too complicated but a couple of those links really helped, especially the part on NinePatchDrawable. I had the hardest time figuring out how that worked.

As long as i'm doing all the compiling in apkmanager it should be fine since its using apktool?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Brut.all:
Yes. As long as you don't add pngs without borders to decoded app, everything should be ok.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
so if you want to modify 9pack images from the framework apk, you have to decode the whole framework apk and then rebuild it?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
So if you want to replace a 9.png image with another one (which is also already encoded) inside of framework-res, do you need to re-sign or anything?

example: replace the jog bar for the DX with the vanilla android one.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Brut.all:
You're right, you don't need to decode in that case :-) As I wrote in my wiki page: "If you want to use *.9.png images from one 3rd apk in another, but don't modify them, you could try to just copy these files without converting, cause both apps are in compiled form.". It's good to understand, what is this all about - then you could do things faster. If you aren't sure it's usually better to do full decode & full encode - it's more reliable.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Plus if they arent exactly the right size it could get all screwy, so if you have to modify them, its easier to have it decoded or you have to go through the whole draw9patch then encode then drop ito an apk. Many different ways of having the same out come. Try em all out and see what works best for you.

If someone could make a boot animation for me, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm running Cyanogen 5.0.8-DS, and attached is my boot splash, but I'd like it to also be a bootanimation with the glow on the text sweeping from left to right. Also, if you could move the text closer to the bottom, that would be cool. After I flashed it, I realized that big gap looks ugly but it's late and I'm too tired to fix it tonight. I have searched every forum I can think of for a bootanimation tutorial and I haven't found one, so I figured I'd just toss this request out there.
