[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
You can do this by editing your keymap files. An example of an edited one can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837002. The QuickKeys are mapped to user1, user2, and user3. I know you said you didn't want to use an app, but there is a simple one to use called ButtonRemapper (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850464). You may be able to install it, use it to quickly edit your keymap file, and then uninstall, but I'm not positive on that. That app page also has a link to a great guide about how keymap files are structured.

I'm assuming you are talking about Google Addons for CM6? You can unzip the file and look in the apps directory, but here's a listing for convenience: CarHomeGoogle, CarHomeLauncher, Facebook, GenieWidget, Gmail, GoogleBackupTransport, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter, GoogleFeedback, GooglePartnerSetup, GoogleQuickSearchBox, GoogleServicesFramework, googlevoice, HtcCopyright, HtcEmailPolicy, HtcSettings, kickback, LatinImeTutorial, list.txt, Maps, MarketUpdater, MediaUploader, NetworkLocation, OneTimeInitializer, PassionQuickOffice, SetupWizard, soundback, Street, Talk, talkback, Twitter, Vending, VoiceSearch, YouTube.

You can delete the appropriate APK from your /system/app directory. Alternatively, you can simply disable the app with a "pm disable" command in the terminal (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809231). This is usually the safer route---disable the app, make sure your phone is still running properly, then uninstall it if you still want to. If you want a nicer interface for doing all this, you can download TitaniumBackup from the Market (I believe the free version allows both uninstalling and freezing/disabling apps).

Enjoy your new phone!

Hi,

When i first tried a2sd, i created the ext3 partition for storage, and 256mb partition for swap. Now i want to remove the swap parition. I don't really want to format my card, so is it possible to just connect my sd card to windows, and delete the swap partition in windows' disk management? i don't mind leaving 256mb unuse.

milestone help...

Currently I'm not under contract with any carriers, was using my nexus one on local carrier and traded that for an iphone 4. Sold that and currently using a samsung vibrant which only cost $160.

I can get a milestone for free with a 2 year contract, but I ll probably just use the vibrant mainly. Would the milestone be a good backup android device? It seems out dated to me already, should I just stick with a blackberry bold (even more outdated)????

How is the milestone rooting? custom roms? read about bootloader being locked? Is it fairly simple to unlock? I have unlocked nexus one bootloaders, rooted, etc.... Vibrant rooted, unlocked carrier etc.... Any input on the use of this device? thanks

I am trying to change the Icon using Ninja Morph. I did exactly what the tread on "how to NinjaMorph" but it does not work.

It seems like I can change the color on the Icon's but it will not let me change out the Icon.

Here is what I did.

I start with New Project

go System than App

than I go the the app that I want to change the Icon

open Res, than Drawable-hdpi, tap the icon I want to change.

Than it opens a folders

I go to the folder with the Icon that I want to replace it with

I click on the Icon that I want use.

After that I exit

than I go to Finish Project,

It as me to confirm Action and couple of other question after.

I reboot the phone and the icon is not change.

What am I missing?

Note: I already did review the tread "how to ninjamorph" and it seem like I am doing everything correctly. The only thing is that the tread says that phone should reboot automatically and mine doesn't. I reboot manually.

When I change the icon color on "edit icon", it works fine.

By the way, I already have busybox installed.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

There are some system apps that just wont take. Does the app disappear from the drawer after you edit it? If not then its not taking the change. Be wsue youre changing the png as they normally have a couple pngs that look the same but only one is the icon.

[Droid X General] johann718:
When I edit the icon, it would disappear but when I reboot the phone, app will reappear. The only thing is that I have to mount the app in the system. Once I edit the app it was not reinstall with app manager. In other words I have to mount the application directly into the zip folder for the system then reinstall the theme or the rom.

[Droid X General] newtsevo:
I've had some experience with ninja morph not always accepting my changes. After you open your project, use astro to go to sd/androidthemes/workspace. Copy paste the files using astro and then go to ninjamorph and finish the project. Then I use root explorer to paste the app in system/app. Install it (sometimes says fail but it works) then change the permissions and reboot. Just match the permissions list with any other app in system/app as they're all the same. Then reboot. Hope this helps.
[Droid X General] johann718:
What do you mean by changing the permission? Also, can you be little bit more specific with instructions? I am fairly new to all this.

Also, is there a way I can try to change the icons with my computer? Is there a program or an app out there that works like a Ninja Morph for the desktop?

[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
I actually use picsay on the phone to make small edits to the icons. I then pull them from my sd to my pc to convert the jpeg back to png and insert them. But you can also use photoshop to edit images/create your own. Theg have to be the correct size.
[Droid X General] johann718:
I gave up. I just decided to use Better Cut. I never knew/realized you can customize icons on your phone with icon.
[Android Software Development] Newklearx3:
I was wondering how to make a system apk such as idk the browser into a regular installable apk so that someone with no knowledge of pushing apks can install it along side their apk.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
Generally system apps are just normal apps, only installed on a system partition. If you pull a system apk from a device, then you should be able to install it normally on any other device.

There are exceptions from this rule:

You can't install an app if you have it installed already. Many system apps are installed on most devices by default and this is the reason, why you can't install e.g. Browser.apk pulled from other device - most probably you have it installed already.

There are 2 solutions: you could remove system app before installation of new one or just replace it - but this isn't what you want. To create normal, installable apk you would have to modify its package name as I did with Google Maps.

Some system apps use system internals, private APIs or privileges, some additional libraries, etc. For example Settings.apk changes internal settings of OS - you can't do that in normal apk.

You can't easily move/install such apps, they're integrated with system.
[Android Software Development] Newklearx3:
thanks for this long great reply. So lets say I pulled my dialer apk changed the package name, could I install it on a friends phone NOT on the system partition ?

I'm trying to pull the dialer apk from gingerbread and port it into a normal apk using apk tool, but once and changed the package name and all that and compile it I go to install it on my phone but it says that it could not open it as an apk file. Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
I think not. Note that Phone.apk is only one app that can dial, you can't add such feature to your own app, so most probably it uses private APIs to do that. It's integrated-with-system one. Same for Settings.apk and PackageManager.apk, but you should be able to pull Browser.apk, Launcher.apk, MMS.apk, Gmail.apk, Talk.apk, etc., change their package name and install on another device.

Ahh, there is one more group: SenseUI, Motoblur, etc. apps, which use additional framework resources: images, colors, texts. They won't work on a device lacking this framework, but it should be possible to make these apps framework-independent by copying all dependencies to app itself. Not that easy, but possible :-)
[Android Software Development] Newklearx3:
Dude, you're amazing! So how would I go about porting the gingerbread dialer to workable installable apk?

I might be doing something wrong but I pulled the launcher and changed the package name and still the same error :(

Okay, i guess I'm not. I copied the apk ( unmodded ) from the rom zip and placed it on my SD card to install it and the same error, so there must be something wrong.

figured out it was the sdk version, got it to show up but wont install now.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Just do a nandroid backup. Then you flash the CM 6 over the old one, do a cache+dalvic wipe and start it up.... It should be ok.

If not, then just revert back with the knowledge that you have to do a complete wipe, meaning that you need to start from scratch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] leiko49:
I now have initiated flashing new rom, starting with backing up data and wiping cash. However, I am now unable to go into recovery mode, whereas the phone is stuck on the logo when attempting to do so. I had installed through rom manager clockworkmod 2.5.0.1, got the message it installed correctly.

Here are the methods I have used to go into recovery:

1. click on "reboot into recovery"

2. backup current rom

3. flash alternative recovery with RA Recovery v.1.7.OH downloaded by rom manager, and use rom manager to restart into recovery mode

4. turn phone off, try to press home and power button together, for the new RA and the new clock work mod programs.

will not go into recovery mode, gets stuck on the boot up logo. Phone otherwise works fine, on the older Cyanogen Rom..., just can't go into recovery mode which I need to do to upgrade.

My original recovery was RAv1.2.0G.img, but this was I assume replaced by the rom manager.

In case this is important, my other software versions I have been using the past year:

Hboot 1.33.2005 (sapp30000), Cpld 10, Radio 2.22.19.261

will not go into recovery mode, gets stuck on the boot up logo. Phone otherwise works fine, on the older Cyanogen Rom...

any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
You flashed wrong recovery version...

You need RA Recovery v.1.7.O

G

and not H as stated above.

If all ****s up, then use my guide (check my signature) to flash a custom recovery... just skip the steps about root since you already got that!

Remember, G and NOT H.

lost recovery

mumilover

I do actually have v.1.7.0G installed, not H (my bad).

it just will not go into recovery.

Please let me know where your guide is, but right now I have been unable to communicate with my device through my xp desktop, get the "device not found" error (I assume you are suggesting that). Not sure how this will help though, since I already seem to have the correct recovery image installed.

[G2 and Desire Z General] andy.call:
Thanks for the response.

I looked at Quadrant but many people seem to say that the result is not great due to its heavy reliance on the file i/o speeds. Linpack seems to mainly stress the floating point speed of the processor.
