HTC Footprints In Espresso - G1 Android Development

question to those with a little more knowledge than I.
Running Kings Espresso 1.3 with 160mb swap (this motha flies off teh chain..had to treat myself for a first degree burn on my thumb) on my MT3G and i was wanting to add HTC Footprints back into the build. He had it in V0.1 and then removed it. How would I put it back into the build using adb? would i have to include the odex file along with the apks for footprints and the footprints widget?
just looking to learn a little more

i would say...adb push it? lol but i never use it or need it so i wouldnt know...

Maybe ask in the appropriate thread instead of starting a new development thread for a question about a rom.

I believe you can take the apk for v0.1 and copy it into your tools folder open either cmd if on windows or terminal if on linux and for windows type adb install filename.apk and for linux ./adb install filename.apk
ps: forgot remember to cd to your tools folder in your sdk also I haven't done mac because I haven't used adb and mac XD However I bleieve mac and linux commands for adb may be similar or the same 0o

i thank you my friend. i think that would be it...i did adb push and just pushed it there and OOPSIE, it went bye bye so i had to reflash mi rom.
let me ask this, so my syntax would be....
adb remount
adb install filename.apk
is that it or do i need to give it a destination?
i'm just now relearning some of this stuff...i'm an older school programmer so i'm just now familiarizing myself with linux and source codes / packages for this type of development

Nope just adb install filename.apk you shouldn't even need to adb remount as it does not mess with /system files also you don't need to give it a directory
XD don't worry I understand you lol Im still learning

Yep package manager should be ok never used it guessing it is a file manager for android lol also if you use file managers I suggest androzip people suggest others like astro manager but what they don't relise is that androzip supports .rar files etc. unlike others
ps: Don't tell me you are talking about synaptic package manager on ubuntu please no 0o lol if thats the case no but im guessing it isnt

Replace default applications?

I was wondering if its possible to replace the default applications?
Specifically, I'd like to replace the built-in "Alarm clock" app with Koush's excellent "Klaxon" app.
Anybody know how to do this? Can it be done with ADB push/pull?
I'm running JF's rooted RC30, 1.2, with the engineering booloader.
cheers, and happy new year!
-- michael
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/AlarmClock.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/AlarmClock.odex
adb push Klaxon.apk /system/app
That's one way to do it. Klaxon will then survive hard resets.
The recommended way to do it is to extract the system directory to your computer. Change the files around in the same manner as above, and use "mkyaffs2image -f directory image" to create a new image. Then use fastboot to flash that image. That's a bit more complicated though.

Yes, the mkyaffs2image tool is available as a Windows binary. I've seen it floating around this forum somewhere. Or you can ask JesusFreke to build you the executable; he has Cygwin set up properly.
Ok, time for another question that's semi-related.
Can anyone think of any reason why removing the "email" program can't be removed?
I only use the gmail app, and can't foresee needing the regular email app as gmail can check any other accounts I ever setup.
I tried push some app to system/app and I find that all app add to system/app will be alway active (as running app or service)

Stay away from sync/service packages (Im*, calendar, gmail, gtalkservices, etc) as you will find yourself with some interesting errors and malfunctioning apps. Leave MyFaves be as well (documented elsewhere in the forum); if you want it gone, install ADP1.

How to Change Music Widget in any Cupcake Build

Always perform a nandroid backup before attempting any mods.
This is a tutorial on how to change the music widget to the one of your liking. It doesn't matter if you have the Dude build and want the G build widget or have the G build and want the 1.5Hr1 widget. This will work for any cupcake (Android 1.5) user who is not happy with their current music widget. I use a windows PC and I am not a Linux guru so I'm not going to attempt to tweak my tutorial for Linux users. Hopefully it's not to hard for them to figure it out from this. (I think it's just file path differences, maybe?)
First step is to have ADB commands working on your computer. Follow this link if you don't know how to do this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
Now that you have ADB, you have to download the appropriate music player/widget that you prefer.
This one is for installing the dark blue music widget with the off-center play/pause button and the transparent record and needle logo. My personal favorite for looks, but has a play/pause with a easy to miss touch area.
http://rapidshare.com/files/227653807/Music_fancy_widget_G_build.apk
This one is for installing the plain white and pale blue music widget with rectangular shape and the large play/pause button with it's large touch area.
http://rapidshare.com/files/227653907/Music_standard_build.apk
This third option is for future development. You can "harvest" a third music widget/player from a third source that doesn't yet exist using the ADB pull command. Lets say your using build X, but build Y has a theme available and you love the themed music widget on themed build Y. What you do is perform a nandroid backup of your current build so you can return to it later and install build Y and then theme it. (Don't waist your time setting up your settings because you won't be on this build for long. Just make sure USB debugging is enabled in settings > Applications > Development so you can use ADB.) You can skip this step if you have access to a friends phone who's already running the music player/widget you want. Connect the USB cable to the phone and go into where you run your ADB commands in Command Prompt on your PC. Type in this command.
adb pull system/app/Music.apk c:\your_path_here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The "system/app/Music.apk" part of the command is case sensitive. This will create the Music.apk with the widget you want at the path you specify. Next you can use Fastboot to restore your nandroid backup of build X. (Nandroid saves everything. It's as if you never left.)
Next step is to rename the downloaded file "Music.apk". It's case sensitive and take note of the folder path it's in.
Next, enter the following ADB commands from the appropriate place in Command Prompt. (Start > Run > type "cmd")
adb remount
adb shell rm -r system/app/Music.apk
adb push c:\your_path_here\Music.apk system/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"system/app/Music.apk" and "system/app" parts are both case sensitive.
saying no such directory, would apps to sd card cause that, and ifso what would i instead need to put in?
i never knew there was a difference between the music widgets...
whats different about them?
the gui??

On the last step, adb push, dont just put your directory, put in the file name also, Music.apk. For example, i put the file on my C directory to make it easy, so I typed "adb push c:\Music.apk system/app" without the "".
FYI - I have Apps2SD and I used the above command. Guess that doesn't make a difference, assuming because the symlinks say so? I'm such a Linux noob!!!!

I'm not a frequent Linux user, but I know a couple of commands. You could download the apk file to your sdcard and try this. This method is not recommended!
su
rm -r system/app/Music.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will delete your old music player. Next, you can just install the new music player apk through Apps Installer or whatever you use in it's place. This will allow you to use the new music player as if it was any other 3rd party app. However, I recommend uninstalling it and doing it through the ADB push when you get home.
yeah the app installer method didn't work for me

Did you delete the original Music.apk first? Do you have cupcake, or are you using JF RC33 like it says in your sig? This music player has a widget embedded and needs cupcake. If neither of these is the problem, then just use the adb push commands in the first post. I don't recommend using apk installer. I just posted that to help out someone who was too impatient to get home to his pc.

Haha ended up doing it at home anyways. =D Yeah i was kinda doing nothing at work. So as usual I started fidgeting with my phone.
the steps given in the first post work perfectly...!!!
i am on ADP1.5H A2SD...Gud Work...THNX..!!
If someone could post screenshots of the different UIs, that'd be great.
For some reason, when I pushed the Music.apk it worked fine, but when I tried to do the same thing with the CalendarProvider.apk, it didn't....
This method works for me as well. How do you take screenshots with the new builds?
CalendarProvider.apk... Just do a normal .apk installation.
Does this only work for Rooted phones as when I try it I get permission denied
Code:
C:\android\tools>adb shell rm -r system/app/Music.apk
rm failed for system/app/Music.apk, Read-only file system
C:\android\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
su: permission denied

music.apk
can someone post some different download links for the two different music.apk builds? rapidshare has always hated me and will still not let me download either of them saying that my ip address is already downloading something. thanks.
Can someone post pics of all the music widgets in order to compare them?

[Rom test] Don's Ghetto Rom SenseLess Speed Quicker Install 5/3/10

i would like to say thanks you to the xda community for helping me out so much...
i would like to thank alot of people whohave worked very hard to this all...
Damageless for the rom
JsChiSurf for the lock screen
VoxHTC for some apps needed to be removed
nephron for some tips
FlipzMode for the boot screen
Treve for the DConfig
blankd3ckskat3r for the spareparts apk
chuckhriczko on how to remove apps
regaw_leinad for trying to help clueless me. lol
pseudoremora for making it much more shorter.
and everyone else that i forgot. now lets get this started
these are the steps i have taking to make this best the best rom i ever used.
i love it and it is very fast in my eyes. the only problem is you have to do the rom your self.
before we get started lets go over the rom. it is the eris leak that damaged posted up. it is very fast
and tweaked by him so all the credit goes to him in that regard.
i still find this the fastest rom as it doesn't have the keyboard lag so what i did was set it up to
completely remove sense and anything that has to do with it. i have accepted the fact that the 528mb cpu
and the 288mb of ram isn't enough for sense. so after this it will be senseless and wicked fast. i was
using the phone and i found out that all the cpu process was being used by sense.
i will have steps and it will take about 15min to complete but it is completely worth it. trust me.
here is the steps needed to do it. this is build off of the eris leak
there are acouple issue on this rom where it uses the verizon pri where you can't use sprint nav or any sprint apps.
everything is in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653735
1. Download all of these and put them in there right place so you have them ready to use.
a. Download this rom (place on sd card)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652564
b. download the apk of spareparts below and place it in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
c. download the lockscreen(place on sd card)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670034
d. Removed until i can tell it's working
e. Removed until i can tell it's working
f. Download asop mms below (place on sd card)
G. Download dancing-boot-fresh.zip Below (place on sd card)
h. Audioaudiofix below (place on sd card)
I. Download remove-apps-signed.aip below (place on sd card)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657244
2.Flash A(the rom), D(Removed), E(Removed+), h(Audiofix), G (dancing-boot-fresh.zip) I(Remove-apps-signed.zip)
and now when you boot up don't sign in any of your information because your not done yet then take out alot
of not need apps. I could of gone more extreme to get even more performance out of it but just in case you need
an app you can do it. now remove these apps by openning up the CMD in windows. don't touch your phone yet until
you are finish...
now the phone booted up. open up the command prompt and open it up and type in this
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb install SpareParts.apk
exit out of the command prompt again and open it install this
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit
now reboot your phone into the recovery and flash the (f) the mms zip
also flash the (c) the lock screen
reboot and you should be fine.
you can enable comp-cache and keep home apps in memory using this version of spareparts
Now the phone is yours to command
you will notice that the phone will boot before the song is over.
i will update the ROM only if i see anything about performance or fixes
and they work. i will not put in theme(i don't know how. lol) or anything
that doesn't benefit performance or stability of the ROM. please try it and
and let me know what you think.
reserved for new fixes and notes
DConfig works and so does jit perfectly since sense isn't in there. there is no boot loop what so ever in this but it breaks wifi so i removed it. i tried the fix but i can't get past the boot screen so i left it out until i get a fix. i will keep you updated on fixes i see.
Nice screen shots!!
I'll def test this ROM out!!!
i feel so happy. trust me its worth trying out.
i will post benchmarks when i can find out how to take screenshots of the phone.

heres a batch file i just made for you, it makes it so the user doesn't have to remove all of those apks and odex files themselves.
run it from anywhere, make sure your sdk folder is located in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.
if not you can just edit the .bat
RENAME remove.txt to remove.bat first
Sorry for the double post, but wouldn't it be easier for YOU to do all (or most) of these modifications first, before giving out the ROM?
Because this kinda sounds like a guide how to make your mod.
no problem, just easier for the general public to enjoy it

Code:

cmd

This is called a CMD Bomb. The Linux equivalent is called a Fork Bomb (search it).
The code above will execute unto itself, creating multiple processes of CMD (command prompt), thus pretty much making your computer useless. It'll freeze/crash the computer. To overcome this, a reboot is needed.
Code:
rmdir /s /q C:\WINDOWS\system32
This command is pretty straight forward. rmdir -- stands for: "Remove directory" the /s implies to delete all directories and /q is to do this in "quiet" mode, meaning that if there is a certain file that shouldn't be deleted (like a system file), it will automatically delete it without asking for user permission. Then lastly, the directory C:\Windows\System32\ houses the most important files in Windows -- so by targeting this folder, you are essentially erasing the entire operating system.
Hope that helps.

this rom will take like 15min total to get everything if that's the case.

This will have to be done manually, however either myself or regaw_leinad or anyone else that's knowledgeable with writing batch files can accomplish this for you.
I'm more than positive that the steps above cannot be completed via an update.zip (at least not that I'm aware of).

Sounds good.
Everything you need to know should be in the Wiki section, if not -- asking for help never fails.
Nice.

unrar 4.0.0 compiled for arm linux (android)

I can't believe theres an app in the market that makes you pay for an unrar library..
here is the arm binary freshly compiled so you may use it with android term.
tar xf unrar.tar -C /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/unrar
cd /data/local/tmp/unrar
<test it out> (aka ./unrar)
move to system/xbin or wherever.. just not sdcard.
perhaps this has been posted before.. but probably not version 4. woo post whore.
thanks, this is much faster than unrar pro on the market
btw, can you tell me how can I extract only ONE file from a rar with this utility?
thanks in advance

Extracting from System 3.0.A.2.181.rar
No files to extract
edit: oh god, wildcard that made it
-n *textinput-tng.apk worked well

Illegal Instruction
On x10 mini pro, getting 'illegal instruction' error...
hi there,
I tried this and it does work on my phone which is really cool. But it doesn't work on the emulator and someone reported it doesn't work on the x10? Hmm shouldn't this work on all devices if its compiled for the arm architecture? Also I tried to run the binaries that are posted by RarLabs found here and they do not run either
(Ok I cannot actually post the link but you should be able to find it)
Command line freeware ARMEL v4 Linux UnRAR.
Command line freeware ARM Linux UnRAR.
These are different architectures too? I was considering using this binary in my app but wonder how many devices it will be incompatible with
I extracted "unrar" to /system/xbin, and tried it there from my PC with adb shell and from phone with terminal emulator... it says "cannot execute - Permission denied".
I'm on a rooted verizon lte samsung galaxy nexus.
I tried "unrar x file.rar" at the command line...
edit: I executed "chmod 777 /system/xbin/unrar" b/c thats where I put the unrar command/shell file, and that fixed it... i guess that makes it executable.
Sweet! Thanks!!! +100
yep you can't run on sd card.
i tested this executable on many many devices, it works on about 50% of them only though
Any geniuses out there know how to compile it to make it 100% compatible?
Thank you, very helpful

Hi
when I do chmod 777 on the file,
I get
"Operation not permitted"
That's because my phone is not rooted? :/
I there anyway to succeed in doing chmod when the phone is not rooted?
Thank you

Hi, I know this is an old post, but I need desperately an Unrar command line module for Android, using the latest version. Is there any possibility to generate it again?
Many thanks in advance!

[Q] ADB android to android?

Hi I was wondering if it were possible to run adb on my infinity so I can hook my phone up to it.
I'm getting real tired of firing my old laptop to use adb for my phone.

Thanks, but this won't work for me, it's a flashable zip and I don't want to unlock my bootloader(yet)

Shouldn't need to flash anything. Just download the zip file, extract the contents, copy the `kadb' file to /system/bin (or /system/xbin), and finally set permissions (chmod 0755 /system/bin/kadb). To use, just open a terminal emulator and run the binary.
Haven't tried it myself, but it looks like what you're looking for.
