How's it going everyone?

I'm looking for any sort of tutorial as to looking into a rom's com.htc.resources.apk file and modifying files to theme a rosie of my own style. I know there is a lot on this forum about finding custom rosies and remapping, etc. but as a graphic designer, I like everything slick, and the rosies I have to use with the different roms I flip around from (Myn, Virus, other sense based) are nice but I've developed my own and got it looking good on Launcher Pro, but I like my sense widgets and would prefer to just modify the stock sense rosie to my own. Myn has recently been able to create a rather similar look to what I created, and so I'm gonna work with his RLS 3 Rom if that makes any sort of difference.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks to all the devs btw, your Roms are the best and I wish I had your talents.

APKTool works well but it still can't do all of the framework apks yet. It should decode everything well enough for you to get in there and see what all needs changing though.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
If you are just starting off by changing images you don't need any special programs aside form an image editor. What I would then suggest is to download a few themes, open up the framework-res.apk and com.htc.resource.apk from each, and compare the images between them to get an idea of what images you should be concerned with first. Typically, if you open up these files from themes and you sort by "Date Modified" it will be very easy to tell which are the original and which are modified because 80+% will have one date and everything else will be newer.

If an once you deceide to move beyond simply changing images I highly recommend APK Manager which was developed by someone here on XDA. It is a collection of other tools and scripts developed by other XDA members that will decompile APK files so that the XML files are readable/editable and once finished will recompile it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DG4FREE:
That's a great idea. Yeah I have PhotoShop and Illustrator, I just want sure which images I should play with and which ones not to. That "last modified" option should help.

Thanks for your input. If anyone else knows of other ways or tips, please feel free to share.

OK, I did it. I fully bricked my MyTouch 1.2. I was using RadioSwitcher GUI to flash old radio and spl so I could install the ported 2.2.1 OTA tmobile rom for 32a. No matter what I did I could not flash old SPL. After successfully flashing radio I couldn't get anything else to flash. I used RadioSwitcher to wipe system, userdata, cache and here is where I think I have my problem from I erased boot. Now I get nothing. No led flash, no boot animation, no fastboot, no recovery. My phone does absolutely nothing. The only time I get an LED is when the battery is out and phone is plugged into the charger. IT flashes a very dull white. With battery in I get nothing. I called T-Mobile and since it is still under warranty they are sending me a new handset and I have to put my battery in it and send the old one in. Do you think they will be able to tell I rooted it and changed stuff on it? Is there any way to recover it? Is there a master reset button that will restore everything if something like this happens?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ptpoul:
Thank you so much for the upload!I have a nordic x10mini pro and accidentally (bad advice) deleted the Sync.apk.

I have two questions I hope someone can be so kind to help me with.

Will I be able to install the Sync.apk from this upload on my phone?

How should I install the apk, I have seen posts with push commands, should I also "sign" the apk?

Thanks, Poul
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] beerio:
Just put the apk file on your SD-card, then download astro file manager or root explorer from Android market. And then use astro or root explorer, to find the file on your SD-card and install it.

Good luck.

Hello everyone,

I am used to adding Arabic to my builds whenever I cook a new rom, but I just noticed that when I cook with 28244 (Also tried 240 and 238) and Whatever I do the Arabic does not show in Manila.

I Replaced wince.nls with the Arabic one and did not work, Used Complex script from another build, Copied over with the Arabic enabled fonts, ...etc.

I Even installed (After booting) the Arabic enabler cab that I use with any other rom to no avail.

I tried everything I know of and it does not work with 28244.

If any one have any ideas please help. :)
[Windows Mobile] SiemensLover:
Hallo,

can u read and write arabic? for example in SMS?

Nope, It is problematic.

When I can read in Windows and not manila I can reinstall Tohama Font but in this Rom I can't achieve any Arabic Reading
[Windows Mobile] Raptordin:
A nice bump in hope for ideas. :)
[Windows Mobile] mua30:
search for bold font issues repair here in XDA, apply the changes and yr arabic will be fine in manila and phone canvas too.

COM2 had no issues with arabic, while bottom menus released lately have these problems.

Hi,

According to skype blog, skype for android is available for all android phones with version 2.1 or higher

http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2010/11/skype_101_for_android.html

When I search for skype on the market I don't find it, when I try skype.com/m I get a message saying that my handset is not yet supported. However my X10 has 2.1 Eclair which by all means meet skype requirements. Any idea?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curious_yellow_eyes:
None at all... I installed Skype just fine. Maybe it's a geographical thing?

I'd stick the apk in my dropbox for you, but I can't remember where android stores them, and I can't extract the titanium backup one without the pc (I'm not at home right now).

EDIT: ok, figured out how (they're in /data, not /system) but is it allowed? Since it's a free app there should be no problem, right guys?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJ_QaT:
I guess so, I know many did put the .apk files here as long as it is free from the developer, we're against piracy

I've tried it as soon ac I updated my phone, but every time I start the app it says that it will not work with my task manager, so took it off
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curious_yellow_eyes:
Yes I know and I don't want to get banned from my favourite forum!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hunch:
is there any fix for the market to make me able to find skype?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3sRtH4mmR:
Just search for Skype apk online. That's what I did. You're right in that it doesn't appear in market and Skype's site says it's not available. I had that issue too.

Seems to take longer to sign in after 2.1 but works fine otherwise.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggaman33:
I used Appbrain and installed from my desktop browser using the web installer its so much easier and pushes directly to your phone no opening of market app required. As for Skype i find i like the way it works with the x10 i always have skype set to away on my desktop so when i sign in on my phone its kind of like a remote skype because it doesn't log me out from the desktop application.

Also from what ive noticed the notification sound when someone sends you a message only plays on the last device you logged into, so for example if i am on desktop Skype then later log in on my x10, Skype will mute desktop notifications and the phone notifications will play and vice versa kinda interesting.

In all i like the fact that we can make voice calls just wish we could accept video even though we cant send (no front facing camera, app limitations I'm guessing?). Skype is the whole reason I bought an X10 in the first place. Sorry for the long first post by the way, I just thought id add my two cents and experiences with skype for x10 :p

Even though I am wishing Samsung would bring Epic's TW and media player current with that of other Galaxy S phones with release of Froyo update, but if it doesn't, is there another way we could install the Galaxy S media player in Epic?? Can it apk be exported from Captivate, Vibrant or another Galaxy S device and installed on Epic??

Edit: From another thread, seems like Froyo update would bring the Galaxy S player to Epic. Really happy about it!!
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
We have TW 3.0 and all the stuff that comes with it on Froyo.
[Epic 4G General] prabhg:
Thanks Firon for confirming it. From other's comments, it looks like everything from TW3.0 has finally made it to Epic, except the lock screen and its music widget. I wish there had brought over the dynamic music player widget for lock screen over.

I am just curious what you guys think is the best ROM for a D2.
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
As of right now, nothing compares to Fission.
[Droid 2 General] philiphdouglas:
Best ROM

Fission by far!
[Droid 2 General] nerdslogic:
Fission huh.....can I ask why
[Droid 2 General] nerdslogic:
and how do I get it? Do I need another kernal as well?
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
Just go to the development section and read the first post in the Fission thread. It explains how to install. You need to be rooted and have Koush's bootstrap.
[Droid 2 General] gunz.jones:
If you like the stock look, you could also try squidly's rom. People with oc have been getting good scores with quadrant. The support is good for it as well. Has scripts setup to make it most customizable for basic needs and has the oc built in as well.
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
Maybe a but odd question, but what is the most Sense like rom out right now? And what is the latest version of Fission, because I see a few listed in the rom section.
[Droid 2 General] Mackattack:
I would agree about a sense like rom. Anything like that out there? Or anyway I could install it on the D2 if I get one?
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
There's not a sense-like rom that I know of for the D2 :)
[Droid 2 General] Mackattack:
Oh, I think I remember seeing one for the original Droid and would have like it on the D2 or at least the dialer.
[Droid 2 General] karnovaran:
Try Dialer One.

A Sense ROM is extremely unlikely on the D2, so don't hold your breath.
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
Yeah, Dialer One is a decent replacement, it has some of the sense look and features
[Droid 2 General] Mackattack:
Can i replace the stock dialer with this? Looks nice, but themed version would be great!
[Droid 2 General] Mackattack:
How does it compare to this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784778

What about the HTC contact app, anyway one can install that?
[Droid 2 General] Mackattack:
What is the latest version of Fission? Can I get it in an HTC style black tool bar and stuff?
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
There is a Black Status bar. The newest version is 2.1.

Am I the only one that likes stock blur rooted and bootstrapped ? Fission gives me touch issues when using ADW as my home.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwinds:
Some issue with non-standard USB drivers of the Galaxy - it doesnt work on Vmware either. I have never tried Kies, but got Odin going through a Vmware-Bootcamp installation. Thats probably the only way far as I know to get Kies going.

The advantage of a Parallels-Bootcamp installation is that you can run it like any other virtual machine from Mac but boot into it in bootcamp if you want to run quirky stuff like Kies.

Easiest way is to wait for an Odin release of your firmware and flash it with Heimdall.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkn:
I know that people generally hate these kind of threads but despite reading around in the ROM forums, I am just more and more confused.

I am looking to upgrade my stock Eclair to Froyo, but I am confused as to which ones are good or not.

Basically because my phone is primarily for business use the things I want in order of importance are:

Stability, battery life, speed, bluetooth support. I don't care for all the social networking crap. I need something that is VERY simple to flash (step by step on Doc's ROM are great).

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchyuk:
Hi,

To be honest nearly all roms come with the standard features like bluetooth working etc, due to them all being based on samsung releases. Only the cyanogen rom and varios other attempts at ports will leave you dry in that area.

As far as battery life goes, what is your like now? how much do you use it?

I have been using doc's 7.5 rom for a few weeks now and i get this result on quadrant basic

I keep the battery life right by using the super power program and making sure when the screen is off, wifi, bluetooth and 3g are also off. I have rss feeds coming down all the time also.rss is a bit hungry on power but I can get a good day of medium to heavy use out of it.

As far as stability goes the rom is excellent, never had a force close yet!

I would strongly suggest going up to 2.2, hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkn:
Thanks for the reply. I can get around 2 days depending on how much I use it, on a really very very heavy usage day I may need to charge at about 8-9pm

Here are linux and mac versions. You just need to get adb from somewhere (I don't think the packaged windows version will work).

If it's in your path, just change all of the "./adb" to "adb", or if you copy the executable to the same directory as these scripts, leave them as is.

Put them in the same directory, as the kit, and they should work.
