I haven't done system apps before, but I have successfully used apktool. There is (if it's different or maybe I'm just losing my mind) and additional tool called apk manager that utilizes the apk tool. That's what I've used that's so successful. It basically just gives you a list of choices with what to do with your apk. All you do is place the apk in the specific folder where the script can reach it and then run he script, make your choices, and bam. You have what you want. That could be either a system apk, regular apk, or a folder that's been decompiled. (I used a tool after that called j2gui that let's you take the .classes file and see a near perfect reproduction of the original java code).

Jack Attack!
[Android Software Development] L0cke:
I have had my fair share of dealings with Rosie, but apktool can do the job.

Everything up to Step 3 is good, although I don't 'cd' into Rosie, I just run:

apktool b Rosie from the previous folder.

Anyway, system files like Rosie do not need to be signed so scrap that route. The issue you have is with the new Rosie.apk that's been compiled not containing the original META-INF folder so won't be accepted by the system.

Check out this post that describes in full what I am trying to say. You'll want to focus on Step 3 and onwards in that post :)
[Android Software Development] tktouch12:
i'm trying to do the same thing and i'm having a ton of different problems.
[Android Software Development] WarByte:
I believe about a month ago I checked the Apktool website and checked their list of bugs. There is a really nasty bug in the newest version (at the time I read it) where if you generated your .apk, then some things would be written incorrectly and of course would be the reason why your apps no longer work.

I'm gonna suggest you all check what versions you have and go to the previous version which worked great, or they might have fixed that already.

Hey guys, Question for all you bell subscribers!

Bell announced today the release of an Official Montreal Canadiens app for the season.

Unfortunately it is only open to download for clients of Bell. You can get it at www.bell.ca/canadiens on the phone itself

Any chance it would be possible to get an .apk rip of this for those who are not with bell to enjoy the perks of the app?!?

thank you so much You have no idea how thankful i will be!

I hope they didn't block the app videos and such to Bell users only.

My friend on Bell can't download the app yet.
[Android Apps and Games] talannon:
I tried to download the app but it won't let me even if I am on Bell I have a Nexus One and it's not on the list of supported phones. They seem to support only the htc legend and samsung galaxy s so far. I assume it's because they don't sell the nexus one.

The app is only for bell users from what I have read...
[Android Apps and Games] 3ti3nn3:
This application is only downloadable from a Samsung Galaxy S or HTC Legend device. What a shame! How stupid is that?!!! My guess is that the UserAgent string might be different for these devices.

Apparently only the Video feeds (inside this app) are restricted to Bell Mobility customers...

If you guys ever have the URL to the APK, please post it here.

Cheers!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
After soft bricking for the 20th time I gotta ask how anyone ever recovers with a backup without first having to use Odin to flash back to stock? I can boot to the stock recovery, I have clockwork installed, I click reinstall packages hoping to get into clockwork but it never works when I need it to. I miss AmonRA...something doesn't work I can just enable usb in recovery, put the file I need on the sd so I can just flash it.

Ya, ok, I'm just venting but still I would like to know how this gets done, or if everyone just uses odin and then flashes their backup,

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
is there a way to track whats using power? sometimes my power usage is very high even if I'm not doing anything and have most everything turned off
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifesgreat:
menu>settings>applications>running services you will be able to see the apps the are currently running. or you could get a task manager but then again it will be running ALL the time..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
I actually tried that - but it doesn't really show me power usage, just mem and cpu. Most everything was at zero cpu. The one or two items using cpu i killed and the power usage was still coming up high. Normally the phone sits at around 140mA, but a few times now i've seen it at near 400mA. It wasn't showing an active data connection, and i had BT, WiFi, GPS and 4g all turned off.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] rob989_69:
So two part question.

1. Is it possible? And by possible I mean legal and technically possible to hack it.

2. Where would one go about finding a step by step to edit/hack/modify/theme an apk specifically?

What I'm trying to do is change the App drawer links that TW defaults to. I'd love to have GMail instead of Email and Skyfire instead of the stock browser.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] andoh:
Can you not just drag the icons over and replace? I can't verify since I'm using ADW
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rob989_69:
Nope, I wish it did. I like Launcher Pro but really would like to make TW work. PLus just want the experience of playing with that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] uiskibum:
Really?

Press Applications icon

Menu (soft key) -> View Type -> Customizable grid

Menu (soft key) -> Edit

Drag what you want in there

Menu (soft key) -> save

change the grid back to alpha order if you want
[Captivate Themes and Apps] theMaginator:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
I wouldn't really call it customizing in the hacking form of it... Sure you can change the dock around and reorder how the app drawer. But that's more of a built in functionality.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Esteef:
Has anyone else noticed the terrible sound quality with Pandora on the G2?

Apparently there is a known issue with Pandora running on Froyo devices such as the EVO but an OTA update fixed this problem. (I had an HTC Evo so I would know)

I also had an Epic 4G running android 2.1 and Pandora sounded great. But now i'm back on another Froyo device and it sounds like crap.

The link below states there is a problem on Froyo devices but we need to contact a "Support Team" to get this fixed.

http://blog.pandora.com/faq/contents/10002.html

Any help related to this matter would be gladly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bassderek:
This issue is not really on the Pandora team's hands, rather the handling of AAC+ by android 2.2. If you read around on here if you are rooted there are some temp changes you can make, but for the most part it's a waiting game for an OTA update for the G2 with this fix in it.. *shrug*
[G2 and Desire Z General] Esteef:
So I wrote a message to HTC regarding Pandora and Froyo on the G2 and HTC replied back with this...

Dear Steven,

I understand how important it is for your Pandora application to function properly and I apologize for any inconvenience and frustration this has caused you.

You will need to contact Pandora to inquire if an update will be released to resolve this issue. Since HTC does not support third party applications you will need to contact the manufacturer of the application for more information. An update was released for the EVO and the Nexus One however it was Pandora that released this update for the devices. Pandora will need to release another update for the G2 if necessary.

You may also need to check the Market for updates for the Pandora application.

Sincerely,

Kathleen

HTC

I wonder what Pandora is going to say when I email them
[G2 and Desire Z General] zuludelta9:
OK I thought it was just me that noticed--well I guess it's the phone itself.

Here was my setup:

I run my G2 through an 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male cable to my headunit aux port. The quality is pretty bad even with the High Quality on in Pandora. I'm comparing this to the Bold 9700 which I used to have and did the same thing. I'm not much of an audiophile but it doesn't take one to notice the difference in sound quality.

I wish my headunit had A2DP before I bought it. I didn't even think about that feature... :/

Edit:

I still have yet to try out regular MP3s on the G2 through the same setup but with the Media player. Haven't had the chance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Esteef:
I used both Bluetooth and Headphone to listen to Pandora and thorugh both feeds the sound quality is bad.

I'm not audiophile either but like you said, it shouldn't take one to notice the difference in quality from other phones.

I had an iPhone 4 and the Samsung Epic 4G (Pre-froyo) and pandora sounded amazing on both of them.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schwiz:
I have a music streaming app as well and have found that in general 2.2 devices really hate to stream. Especially using 3g one stream in particular I am using will die instantly (throws serious error codes at me in logs) on a nexus using 3g but will last indefinitely using wifi. I hope there is an OTA to fix it because my boss is breathing down my neck :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Esteef:
So I e-mail Pandora and they tell me that HTC has to release an OTA update.

I hate being given the run around. I Just hope there is a release soon or something is in the works to fix this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
My pandora streams sound pretty good, however I've only used it over Wi-fi..... havent tried it over 3G/4G..... :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] papeshfoo:
Yes the sound on Pandora is awful, I deleted it since I use Slacker more anyway. The sound from Slacker is perfect.

Hello!

Can somebody make a Theme for a Sense-UI Froyo 2.2 AOSP Rom (like LeeDroid, Pays etc. ).

I want a port from The Skin "slate" from the RCMixHD v08.

I will very help me, when someone can make a flashable Zip from Framework-res.apk . Please Guys Help me!

I was copy the slate.apk but "I can not see the forest for the trees"

So I Hope for Help from a Themer from the XDA Forum.. So many good themes are here. And I canot imagn how long it takes to edit, compile, and signing so much pngs or 9pngs.

But for an experienced editor i think it will not take so long because the Skin is allready only to have to port or replace the right pngs.

So Help me Guys to make for me the best Theme for me.

Best Regrads
[Desire Themes and Apps] Kameo:
Leedroid is not AOSP mate...
[Desire Themes and Apps] mista1982:
I thoght that is the AOSP or OTA Kernel wich Sourcecode was release by HTC since couple of days.

So it dosen't matters. I realy want a Theme for LeeDroid or Pays or another Sense-UI Rom because with slate I love the HTC widgets, Calendar, RSS Feeds and Contact. and I dont need the Launcherpro Anymore.

I dont want a specific Theme, just a Base wich can I use than. The best thing, is when it will include in the Theme Kitchen.

Please help me.. I try to make but I canont. Just a Base flashable Base with framework-res.apk and the stuff wich is important to have the totaly look and feel of Slate. Like the blue radio buttons, indicators, hover effects. and the beautiful semi transprent widgets.

Thanks

[EVO 4G Accessories] tgruendler:
I also received mine today but sadly am returning it. I have 4 of the cheap HK batteries off ebay that I switch out during the day and was thinking I would just get one of these instead. After getting it, putting it on and seeing the bulk it added and how incredibly hard it was to get the Siedio backplate off again, I am thinking that I am going to just stick with the cheapo HK batteries. I use my phone heavily during the day and one of these batteries usually lasts me until I get home around 5pm. I switch out a fresh one at 5pm and I use it off and on until I go to bed, usually between 9pm-11pm which I leave it in overnight off the charger. In the morning, I switch out a fresh one and off to work and the cycle repeats itself. If I end up getting on a long tech support call with Cisco or another vendor, I always have a freshly charged battery in my pocket as well. Well, since I am done with this wall of text about my battery situation that pretty much has nothing to do with this topic, I will end it now.

Thanks for listening.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Even $50 is a complete ripoff. I have 6 spare batteries, all from ebay that cost less than $50 combined. I don't care that they might not have the advertised capacity, but neither does the seidio (according to battery boss) and guaranteed my two cheap 1800mah batteries will easily outlast the 3500mah seidio one for a fraction of the price. So what if I might have to swap one out at some point during the day? On top of it, they don't need to use that HIDEOUS cover that is required for the Seidio.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wes342:

Is the right button supposed to open the stock browser? I'm running redemptive 1.7 and it opens up the "Add to window" menu instead. Is this right?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wes342:
Yes, the original sexy rosie the right button is to add. I'f you want to use the one with the browser I can make one for you just let me know what color.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jaystizo:
Stock color would be fine. THANKS!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wes342:
Stock color is grey.

Sorry I'm not sure what you want. Do you want to just go back to how it was? Restore backup from before you changed color. Or reflash Rom(no wipe)

If you want me to make a custom one for you just let me know exactly what color and what function you want the right button to have and ill post it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jaystizo:
Sorry for the confusion. When you have time, can you please create a rosie where the right button accesses the stock browser. The color I'd prefer is the stock grey color. The icon you're using on the right is fine.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wes342:
I'll make it tonight and pm you when I post it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] d_1000:

so how about a red one with a completely transparent background. that would be awesome. possibly with a browser on the right. pretty please?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wes342:
ill start working on it

you want blue like in op or different color blue?

you want the right button to go to contact list is that correct?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bakagundam:
Right, so I'm assuming that I should have the little calendar app my G1 had. The problem is, I don't. I have the widget, I have the data backend, but no app, rendering it all useless. Oh, and the widget isn't working anyway, there's a few tasks on gcal, but it says I have nothing upcoming on my G2. Did the little app get rolled into another app, am I insane, or has my locked system partition been set up incorrectly?

Photobucket won't shut up though. I can't wait for root. :mad:

Sincere apologies if this has been asked before but I couldnt find it.

I would like to use android for daily use but have been put off by the MMS problems and the constant need to disconnect/reconnect data when trying to surf etc.

I would be more inclined to use it if would save my text messages in such a way that I could get them in both winmo and android?

So if someone send me a text in android, when and if I boot into winmo, I would be able to see it there as well?

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Which is what I am asking! I want it so when i use winmo my messages are there ready, and when i boot into android my messages are ALSO there.

Im looking for a way to save texts to storage card, and them to be accessible by both winmo and android. Is this possible?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BLAST3RR:
Don't think so.. Not by default..

Someone could develop a system that uploads all texts from WM to an online database (or local datastores like SD) and then sync it in Android again.. And the other way around..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tomj777:
One solution is to use an application like SMSBackup (Android) or Windows Phone (i think of was called) to upload sent and received messages to a cloud service (like gmail).... I can't think of one that bridges both operating systems though.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ajsullivan:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] inny2:
I was syncing 6000 sms in WM with MyPhone. Every single ROM was becoming slow after that. Keeping sms in WM is a no-go for me now.

Working my way to that amount in Android but from just having a few hundred you can see the small delay in loading the pic of the contact in the sms list.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ajsullivan:
I think you misunderstand me a little.

I dont keep every msg I have ever got sent. But i do keep them for a month or so. I am looking for a way to store ALL my text messages (automatically) onto my SD card and have WINMO and Android be able to recognise they are there on boot up.

At the moment if someone send me a msg in android, the message is not in WINMO which makes it difficult to track conversations.

I hope that clears it up a little.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
sprint migrate maybe, but you'd constantly be having to convert back and forth, not even too sure if it can do sms!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zoomb:
just to add to the amount of demand: this would be very helpful to me too!

I use WM most of the times, because I also have some mobile apps running I need for work. Everything works great. Next to that I have android installed. The problem is: I can't have two databases of text-messages. It would get too confusing after a while. So I can't have text messages coming in while in Android-mode (since I wouldn't be able to see them in WM). Phone-calls and email are no problem off course, neither are contacts. Only these text-messages trouble me...

If both databases could be sync'able or mergeable automatically, that would be grrreat!

Now, who can make it happen? ;) (I wonder...)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
+1 Ditto! It's the only reason I haven't switched (plus battery-life, but I think I can make that manageable if texts are fixed)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonny68:
I rarely ever keep text messages and wonder why unless they are really important why people would want to keep them:eek:
