That's odd..

I always remove ADW and replace it with launcherpro, and my Theme Chooser never goes away.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I would guess that we are using different methods to remove ADW...? I am using the zip file that you flash after every nightly that is called "CM7LauncherMod.zip"

If you are using a zip to remove ADW and it leaves themechooser.apk then can you please upload that to mediafire and send me a link ? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
If you're using ADW EX why are you bothering with the GB launcher? You say it saves your homescreens, but that doesn't make sense to me as your homescreen should be on EX not stock GB. Or am I missing something? I use EX and don't have a problem. It even keeps my theme after flashing a nightly, whether official or kanged.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Simer03:
I use both Ex and GB launcher, but i never had to flash anything to keep my Ex, only have to flash something after every nightly to keep my stock GB launcher!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Sigh...lol let me elaborate it might have been unclear.

I used to use the stock GB launcher. At this current time its frozen with titanium backup and instead I am using ADW EX.

After every nightly flash, I have been flashing the stock GB launcher / remove ADW launcher .zip so that ADW is removed and ADW EX is the default that it boots up to.

The stock GB launcher is frozen and is not being used at all....I flash the zip to remove ADW, not to reinstall the GB launcher. In the past when I used the GB launcher this is what I did in order to save my home screens.

Now back to my original question....so is it possible to run themechooser.apk without the stock ADW Launcher? Can you use it with ADW Ex? Can you use it with Launcher Pro? Any launcher I want?

Oh and I just compiled a nightly..flashing now. Will post up if someone wants it....its up to the latest commit according to http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vision

In hell apparently! Lol. Hoping they come back soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ihateusernames:
May not be the answer you are looking for but I use launcher pro so after every nightly I uninstall adw with ti backup. My theme chooser is always available and working afterwards.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Ya, I must be misunderstanding something, but, oh well. Do you know if the theme chooser is actually being removed or is it just not showing? For instance, if you look at Manage Applications, is it there? Or if you look in /system/app? If it's showing there, it may just be some weird compatibility issue. If it's gone, though, I'd look at the updater script in the zip to see if there's some line in it that removes it, or something along those lines.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] guyute74:
A positive side effect to not flashing nightly and wiping here and there is I've had extraordinary battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
If your happy to share I wouldn't mind the latest build. Have tried to build my self, but my crap internet connection coupled with a very mediocre laptop, I lost patience and gave up, but I figure there is enough people building that its not really worth it.

I got the build flashed but my wifi is no longer working. Going to look into updating the module and then recompile. Someone else will probably beat me to it as I have to go to class now. If not I will post it this evening.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
I concur that!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] userfriendlyme:
+1 on that one. People can actually see the true battery life instead of complaining how bad it is after just flashing and update a few hours ago.

On a sidenote I'm using the latest compiled nightly and I've had one small thing I've noticed for awhile now. I have alarms set and normally on the notification bar it shows the alarm clock there atleast letting me no its active. For the past several nightlys I have noticed it no longer shows for me even though the alarms still go off no problem. Sometimes when using the phone the alarm symbol appears and then dissapears at will. And usually just doesn't come back. This is coming from a fresh wipe. No biggie but something I've noticed.

do you want me to make a script to just remove adw and not install any other launcher?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Ok i made a adwuninstaller for you guys

just flashzip and adw is gone and your other launcher is now the main one

While we're all sitting around waiting for our builds to finish...

I was wondering if you guys run a GUI on you linux boxes?

I have ubuntu 11.04 and run from the command line with no GUI/Gnome desktop/x windows/etc. It looks like ubuntu server without all the hardened security apps. I do have the GUI installed, just disabled. I might be a fool, but I also run from the root shell. It's not too bad- I only had to reinstall my system once because of a bad dd command :)

Just curious about what everyone else was doing.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
You could also make a gscript to remove the file if you want to do it while the os is already booted. I run one that deletes a ton of system apps I never use every time I flash a new nightly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
ok i will look into that i have never done any gscripting still learning all this android programing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
I have a kang script that removes stuff from the stock build and adds in the secret sauce (really just my ringtones and keymaps). I run this in linux before I push the rom to my phone.

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Well gscript is an app, and you basically record comands from terminal to run them whenever you want. For example, to remouve adw you would have to mount system and remove the app. The code for that would be:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm -f /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

So every time you update to a new build, just click the gscript icon and it will be gone! Super simple concept, no? You can add in as many apps to remove as you want in just a simgle file too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
ok its very similar to the scripting in the flashable add-ons
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Thanks for the effort xboarder.

Going on five days to change a hard drive?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
what about a hard drive lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
What have you guys done to solve the oi file manager updating problem? As you can see in the comments of the app its a problem with all cyanogenmod roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Hard drive alledgedly failed that's why we don't have nightlies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
ohh ok. does any cyanogenmod nightly user want to test a flashable zip i made to remove most of the bloat and add a few extras makes it almost the same as my xboarder56 remix v2.2.1.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nooge9:
Anyone figure out how the status bar brightness control works in the kang?

I've check on the toggle, my auto-brightness is off, still can't figure it out though...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
ok here it is (fixing a script bug will have back soon)at first it had a script error but i think i fixed it thanks for everyone testing

just flash over the nightly and it should automatticaly install gapps and convert everything for you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
I'm assuming you're referring to the universal mod by frank707; there are several different scripts in his OP now. His first mod removed all CM7 added apps, including the Theme Chooser, he has another one that just removed ADW and replaces it with the stock GB launcher. I just checked and there's now one that restores Theme Chooser and a few themes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
old comment
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
The way I figured it out is to long press the status bar for a second or two then slide to the right to brighten and left to darken. It doesn't matter which side of the screen or center, but when you start sliding it'll start at whatever brightness that position is. For instance, think about the left side being 0% and the right being 100%. If you're at 0% and press on the center of the status bar, when you start sliding it'll jump to 50%. It seems to have a little lag so you need to go slow if you want to watch it go through the adjustments. I hope that makes sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:

@ xsteven Your post is a little cryptic, but I looked in the market and found the app in question. It might have something to do with the security framework- perhaps resigning the apk with test keys will work. Not sure which CM key the apk would compare against.

Can you describe how you get it to fail?

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
All I have to do is try to update it and it fails. So does everyone else with cm. The app description has been updated to say users of CM need to contact them about fixing the problem. It says the old version does not match the signature of the new one. We have had quite a few updated kangs yet the problem persists. Is cm team not aware of this yet? Some have reported that by removing file manager with titanium and reinstalling will work, didn't for me.

By the way the app in question is in all of our roms, unless you removed it yourself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Thanks bro you the man.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
From openintents.org....

Blah,blah,blah

Uninstall app in /system/app

Install OI FM from market

You could su and rm from terminal; or you could unzip the rom, rm, zip, sign, and flash;

If you want to get nuts, you could download the OI certificate, sign the CM apk with that, and then upgrade from market.

the easy way would be to remove the app and then install the market version.

Edit: I saw your post about titanium- maybe try removing it the old fashion way. Titanium might do something funny with PM disable... the two apks have the same java package name but different certs- it's like two kids with the same mother, but different fathers.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Might be too much of a noob, but know of no other way to remove it other than titanium lmfao. If you feel like telling me the commands in terminal cool, if not ill look it up. Very suprised I'm the only person to bring it up/care in this thread! Even though I have root explorer I still tend to use this quite a bit just for its simplicity.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Best analogy ever! Lmao!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
OK, here it is. It tried this myself and worked! You might want to back up first, just in case. Typos and errors could have grave consequences.

open terminal on your phone and type the following exactly:

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm /system/app/FileManager.apk

rm -rf /data/data/org.openintents.filemanager

mount -o remount,ro /system

reboot

after your phone reboots, you should be able to able to install version 1.1.5 from the market

Note: this is case sensitive. If you do it correctly, there should be no errors after each line.

edit: You should be able to do this via adb shell, but not everyone has adb :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Thanks dude ill try this in a little bit. Flipping through the forum at the moment and wonder if I should try something else while waiting for the buildbot to get its **** in one sock. So many of them are based on cyanogen or are sense. Really nothing in between!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
Here's the blow by blow, in case you are interested

su - this give you super user powers!

mount -o remount,rw /system - this remounts the system as read/write (rw). Normally, it is read only

rm /system/app/FileManager.apk - this removes the application from the system folder

rm -rf /data/data/org.openintents.filemanager - this removes the data folder too. the -rf makes it recursive and forces removal

mount -o remount,ro /system - remount the system folder as read only (ro)

reboot - necessary so that the right parts of the phone realize that the old file manager is missing.

I think you'll have to do this every time you flash a CM rom. You could get Xboarder56x to write you a script :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Your too cool, not only did you give me the commands, you made it so maybe ill understand what I'm typing and apply that knowledge to something in the future. I bow down to you! Sure there are other people reading this who don't even post that appreciate it too :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
I'm thinking about superwiping and starting over. If I restore my titanium backups of just the user apps plus data, will that bring over any legacy items from the previous rom or is the user and system partition completely seperated where it should not matter? Just a pain in the butt to setup all the apps again and lose my progress in games.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
I was building it and there were new things compiling... but my build crashed :(

Ti backup seems to be popular, but adb and a few scripts will get you pretty far. You can copy the data/data/angrybirds folder to save your progress. After installing the apk, copy over the data/data/angrybirds.or.whatever and bingo! Back where you left off!

The rom installs apps in the /system/app folder. The items you install are in the /data/app folder. Both of them store data in the /data/data folder and a few other places.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
I really really appreciate the explanation, but don't understand...in the end is it bad to restore this stuff? I will look more into what you said about abd method.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
It's not bad, but you have to be careful with what you restore. I've never used Ti backup, so I don't know what method it uses to freeze and restore apps.

In the end, use whatever method works for you. I wouldn't worry about copying over "legacy" stuff- Android is pretty good about keeping things sorted out, as you can see from File Manager. It thinks that two apks that have the same java name are the same, which is true in most cases. So if you reinstall Angrybirds, it will find the right data/data/ folder that has your high scores and golden eggs.

Here's the adb commands that I use to reinstall Angrybirds:

adb push /mybackup/data/com.rovio.angrybirdsseasons/files/ /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirdsseasons/files/

alternatively, you don't need adb, you could just copy them over to the SD card and then copy them back after reinstalling the Angrybirds apk from the market.

cp -f /sdcard/angrybirds/ /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirdsseasons/files/

the -f will overwrite any existing files. Each game might keep their "stuff" in a different folder or file, such as lib or highscores.db, etc
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
The extract-files.sh script will try to pull MS-HTCEMR-blah-blah-blah.

I think the build uses the MS-HTCVISION-blah-blah-GB.apk which is called in the vendor/htc/vision/vision-vendor-blobs.mk file

Of course, that isn't what is breaking my build- I think I get stuck at external/webkit or something like that. It doesn't seem to be a proprietary file since it seems to be building it from source.

Just throwing this out there.. I've been watching the nightly builds updates (http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vision) and i know there are people working on these things, and they are bettering/tweaking each time.

What I don't get is, do they realize we're not getting any of the listed updates? In other words, could it be as simple as they don't don't realize the buildbot is down?

I may have missed it, but I don't see anywhere in any CyanogenMod forums, outside of XDA, where the 'down' buildbot is mentioned not working. It's like no one knows its down (except for us)..

Wouldn't it be a 'TOP' priority for CyanogenMod to get this buildbot working again?
