This is becoming so frustrating!!!!!!!!!!! I just followed the instructions on the clockwork mod thread, I get an error saying nand boot mount failed. After I reformated the sd card with a usb adapter, and put the two files on the root of it, i just powered it on and forgot to hold power, and I get into clockwork recovery, a whole bunch of mount errors showed up. I tried to flash the .zip version (after i saw it boot into firmiliar gournds being cwm, i tried to flash the rom as i would on other phones) and when i hit reboot i just go sraight to cwm. Idk what the hell is going on.

Thanks for everybodys help I hit thanks for you. Lol I had this phone last may and got rid of it for an android phone.

Step #2 in the clockworkmod states the following: 2. Extract downloaded zip to a folder of your choice

Which is why I advised you to try everything again while carefully reading the instructions! :)

Yeah, it doesn't show up in my apps list in the market. So unless you had it backed up titanium your probably screwed. And I have seen developers on the market put really high prices on older versions of apps to maintain support for someone who may have purchased it previously. But it seems EA decided not to go that route.

good day.

Oh wow thats... sucky... If I just copy the apk with root explorer, will that keep the game or do I really need to go buy titanium to back it up?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
if you copy it with root explorer and move it to your sdcard...or pull it with adb you can keep the .apk obviously...however if you data wipe at any point your progress in a game will be gone....you need titanium to backup the app data (think angry birds scores)

really if you root titanium is essnential and worth the $5

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Death_Keeper:
Hello,

little background. i know my way around ROM installation (changing Kernels,modems, installing themes etc.) and read about how to use apk manager.

one of the things i still can't figure out, and seems to me like the next step is modifiyng themes.

i am currently using Perception 10.2, with stock theme. i really like the paragon basic theme + few more icons and items from phoneix and other themes.

i wend ahead and decompiled framework-res.apk from all the themes, and tried to copy over the images from the paragon drawable-hdpi folder to the same folder in Perception.

importent note, i know that there might be an issue with editing a .9.png file, but i assumed copying over a file that works in another rom is acceptable.

hope some of you are still with me.. here is the catch... tried to Compile the apk... and errors...

here is a parital log:

different error:

i hope someone can make sense out of this... i thought it would be a simple proccess, hope i did something wrong and it will be an easy fix...

Thank you so much for reading this far, your help will be appreciated!

[Captivate Themes and Apps] CuriousTech:
The problem you're having is with semi-transparent .9 files. The Android SDK png handler can't decompile them, so when you look at them in explorer they'll have a default image meaning they're corrupt.

The easiest way to deal with them is to not decompile and recompile.

PNG Only: With apk manager, take the original framework files from the ROM (or phone if stock) and drop them into place-apk-here-for-modding, then take the themed frameworks, rename them (something like framework-resParagon.apk) and drop those into place-apk-here-for-modding.

Select each one and extract (not decompile).

Open the drawable-hdpi folders side-by-side of the original and the theme, and drag (Copy) the ones you want to the original.

Then Zip the original and select System APK, and you're done. The reason this work is because the .9 files are still in their compiled state.

If you need to copy xml files, do this first, then the first step for png files: Decompile the two, copy the XML files, and recompile. Compiled XML files convert the png names to IDs which may be different between two roms. If you already have .9.png files that don't decompile, here's the fun part and I guess I'm doing all of this out of order, sorry...

Have an orginal apk decompiled with a different name, extract your modded apk, drag the drawable-hdpi out to say desktop, delete that project, decompile, drag the original decompiled drawable-hdpi into your modded one, and now you can edit/copy XML files and recompile. Then delete the project, extract, delete drawable-hdpi and drag the desktop drawable-hdpi to the project and zip it up. Done.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
Or quick version.. 7zip helps.

right click the apk you want the images from, extract it.

right click open archive the apk you want the images in.

navage down to the folder that the images are stored in while in 7zip.

go back to the extracted folder and navagate down to the folder the images you want are in.

drag and drop them into the open archive 7zip window.

close archive

[Captivate Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Also make sure to double check the sizes, the height and width my be different and give you issues if you copy and past the pngs
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CuriousTech:
Also with 2.2.1 there's a problem with compressed apk files, so in apk manager, you need to set compression to 0. It's not a problem when dropping them into an apk with 7zip.

Different sized png files are usually the expanded notification bar switches. The darkness theme for example uses smaller ones. The size change is in twframework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml so those should be copied together (decompiled).

Another way to customize just 1 or a few .xml or .9.png files is to decompile the original, edit the xml or .9.png (with your modified one in mind), then compile. Then rip the compiled files from it and drop them into the themed one, assuming you already used the original the first time.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Death_Keeper:
so, double - checking that i understood...

method1: replacing images (same size) using copmpiled source and destination.

if i want to copy iver png's from one theme to another, i only decompress (or 7ZIP - open) the apk's - Replace the pics, and compress bacl (with compression set to 0).

method 2 : replacing images of different sizes

if the images are of different sizes, i should decompile both apk's, than i should copy the corrosponding XML from the new image's source, and drop in the original drawable directory, compile the apk, than copy over the image using method 1.

am i correct?

Thank you all for your help!!!

Yossi
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CuriousTech:
In method 1, don't decompress it when using 7zip (or any other), just open the apk, drop the files in where they go, leaving the apk (zip) intact. If you extract the full apk, modify the files, and compress it back to a new apk it will lose the signature. That's what apk manager does when you zip it and select "system APK". It copies the signature from the original to the new one. Think of it like a zip comment. It's not a file, but a chunk of data attached to the zip that can't be copied from one zip to another.

Method 2: Too complicated. Just use method 1 to do as much as you can. :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
Whoever put the theme together originally did it incorrectly/lazily.

If you want to spend the time fixing it, then you need to decompile the same version of the .apk (the Samsung stock version, for example) and copypasta the themed one on top of it, while keeping the 1 pixel border.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Death_Keeper:
One more question...or maybe two :)

when i decompile a framework-res.apk, i only get one drawable-hdpi folder.

if i open the apk using 7zip...i have a 2 folders: one is the same... and and another one that have this name: drawable-hdpi-v4

i replaced all the items i wanted in the drawable-hdpi folder..uploaded to the phone...and nothing happend... than i tried copying over some items to the drawable-hdpi-v4 foder..than i saw the changes.... the question is... do i have to copy the files to both follders? or just the drawable-hdpi-v4 folder?

another question tha poped into my mind right now, is it common that after i replace the framework-res.apk, my accounts data gets erased? (gmail account, facebook, etc)?

Thanks!

Yossi
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CuriousTech:
Get the apktool in this thread and rename your old one just in case:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864424&page=5

Oh, read the thread too. Good info!

The -v4 folders are higher resolution, or supposed to be. They take priority over the others, so if the image is only in drawable-hdpi it will be used, if it's in both the -v4 is used, or if it's only in -v4 it's used. I just leave the non-v4 alone, but it might save space to empty it, just scared to try.

You shouldn't lose account data though. That might indicate a problem. Not sure?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CuriousTech:
I don't think the theme makers are to blame. Try decompiling a stock apk, then set the opacity of any .9.png to anything but 100%, draw9patch it again, then compile, then decompile and try to view that png. It's going to be damaged.

Well, it's actually easier to photoshop a compiled one, then remove the .9 and drop in draw9patch but you know what I mean.

I just don't think apktool can handle the extra info in a png.
[Desire HD General] zelidar:
I finally managed to partially get (*) on my HTC Desire HD (US=Thunderbolt) what I had a year long before under Windows Mobile on my HTC HD2 using the excellent tandem Total Commander and CorePlayer. No more freaking MP4 video conversion needed.

It ended up being fairly easy using the following two applications straight out of the Android market:

- File Expert v2.5.7 (XDA link)

- VPlayer divx/xvid, wmv, m4v, flv, rmvb, avi, mkv, mov, mp4, 3gp (XDA link)

VPlayer was the first step being able to play all my test videos from the SD card but the key element was provided by File Expert via the network, it did not work with ES File Explorer and ASTRO: "Help your player to play medias which are stored on SMB share (your player must support HTTP streaming)"

Enjoy, I know I will :D

(*) VPlayer does not fast forward yet

Thanks dude, I've been trying to do this since yesterday, but couold not achive it. I'm happy :D.
[Desire HD General] silashack:
I used a different approach, I installed (came with my custome rom) cifs manager, created the shares and then use ES file explorer and vplayer as default to watch video shared from my Qnap NAS TS210
[Desire HD General] zelidar:
A solution using the much smaller CifsManager sounds interesting. File Expert has mysterious lags that makes it unusable for anything else. The drawback of CifsManager for me is that it requires root access which I have lost going from 1.32 to 1.72. I would have loved trying it.
[Desire HD General] xcxin:
File Expert just plays a bridge role between your player and media files stored on SMB share.

Your player needs to support HTTP streaming, File Expert translates all SMB traffic to local HTTP streaming

So ... after update the last FW for the Vibrant via MiniKies, all Application are still available - that was a nice surprise. But root wasn't there and also Clockwork does not work anymore.

First of all I use the OneClickRoot. See here post #8

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=923483&highlight=clockwork

After this root was working, but Clockwork doesn't work. The update.zip failed because the Checksum is not correct. I have try reinstall the application, download an update.zip from the forum ... all time the same. Then I have found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833423

I try this 2 times, see also in the Recovery, that the checksum [0] could be ( is written in yellow, but the update.zip does not work at all. It was equal, which was inside in the update :( All other thing ( s. above) doesn't help too. I was the meaning, that the recovery is broken, because the 3E recovery fix does not make a backup... What can I do? Roll back to 2.1? The phone screen was blank-fast reboot into the orig.Recovery thats all...

Another hint (it was only for root-problems) but it works here, too:

Install Titanium Backup and tap on "Problems" A new Busybox is loaded.

After this one, re-tour to Clockwork, start into the Recovery menu and select "Reinstall packages" the Phone goes off a short time, select "Reinstall packages" again: voila the CW Menu is available.

I was just in front to roll back to 2.1 and install (incl. lost all my apps and settings) Nero5

Now I will a little bit with the stock SW. Hopefully it's works also with you.

The phone is starting every time into the normal Recovery and after select the Reinstall packages the Clockwork menu is available ...

My phone was starting to get extremely laggy at times. I had thousands of text messages, so I deleted them all (it took hours). And now my phone is fast as hell. Not sure if this has been said before, but it might as well be repeated because I was getting really frustrated and didn't realize storing texts could slow my phone down that much.
[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
And call logs too.

BTW, there is a free market app for deleting text messages in groups called "Delete Old Messages" - snappy name, eh? You can tell it to "delete everything older than 60 days", 30 days, etc. It works pretty well, even on stock Sense phones that are choked with text messages. If you have thousands and thousands of them it will go slowly, but in an unattended fashion - that's way better than deleting them thread-by-thread. It also has a progress bar so you can tell whether it is making any headway.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyG_Au:
You're right, by far the easiest way to get a deodexed SGS is to install a custom rom. Try Doc's ROM kitchen (ht tp: / / romkitchen . org - sorry, can't post links yet) to customise one for yourself if you don't like any of the pre-built roms around.

It should be possible to deodex a stock rom yourself but you're in for a world of hurt if you don't feel comfortable mucking around with android development and the the SDK command line tools. Google baksmali to get started if you really want to pursue this avenue.
[myTouch 4G General] Alluro:
I am loving the CM7 ROM for the Glacier and wouldn't mind keeping it for as long as I own this handset. As someone curious about the new Windows OS however, I was wondering if it's possible to create a version of the ROM for this phone. I noticed the HTC HD2 seems to be able to run Windows Mobile and Android just fine. Is it just a lucky fluke that it's hardware is compatible with both OS builds?
[myTouch 4G General] 21productionz:
It is definitely possible for an WP7 ROM, but highly unlikely. The reason the HD2 got so much love is Because WinMo sucks arse cheeks. As a stock phone the MT4G is a great phone, but most of the people who frequent this site want the latest and greatest so that is why you see a lot of ROMs for android.

I can't speak for everyone on this site, IMO it won't happen.
[myTouch 4G General] whoamanwtf:
The HD2 was also shipped with windows mobile to begin with, while maybe not the same versionI think it is frowned on a bit less than if you were to take a open device and put a closed os on it. That would be pretty much like buying computer parts real cheap putting the computer together and then stealing (pirating) a copy of windows 7 to put on the hdd, rather than buying the license properly.

So what I am saying I guess is it is not wither the hardware can handle it,which I see no reason it couldn't with driver tweaking. It is more the legality of it and that pirating is not allowed here!
