Enable Superuser.apk & Enhance ROSIE UI FOR HERO ROM [Re-Updated FIXED]

Hello Guys!!!
Sorry for the problems caused There Were More Two Widgets Missing Other Than Messaging widget to be coppied to Internal Memory Namely The Clock & Contact Widgets, So They Are Added In The Re-Update, The Whole .exe Is To Be Downloaded Again, Sorry For This.
Even The superuser enabler package(.exe) is fixed...But If U already Have the old .exe , just get the attached script & replace it with the old one...
Be Tuned For Apps2Sd & An Rom With At-least 30 MB Of Free Internal Memory Build....M Currently Initializing Source Code So That Will Help Me With Some Stuffs Like Update-Script & Some Stabilization Of ROM...
SUPERUSER ENABLER
Thers no SuperUser Apk Working On Haykuro's Hero Rom, So to get It Working, Only Installing Is Not Enough So I have Got It Working, Follow This Steps...
Note: To Test, Just Try Using CPU Overclocker Widget(Its Free) From The Market Before & After Using This... u ll Notice the Change
Steps:
1. Download The Install-Enable-SU-By-Sangeet.exe & Extract Any where By Double Clicking It.
New Fixed Download Link: http://android-latest-build-images.googlecode.com/files/Install-Enable-SU.exe
2. Connect Ur Phone Via USB Cable
3. Run The Install-Enable-SU .bat File.
4. Choose Appropriate options..
5. Rebooting Not Recommended...(UR WISH)
Rosie UI Enhancer/Optimizer
Note: U Must not Be Using Apps To SD Other Than The Default app_s folder
Means U must Not Have /Data/app Moved to /System/sd/app
The Rosie UI Dosent Need The Launcher.apk, So This Script Removes It.
This Script Moves/Installs Rosie Application To Internal Memory...
MoreOver, The Rosie UI Uses The HTC Widgets Which Are Seperate Applications, So Even If The Rosie Loads Fast, The Widgets Make It Slow...
So This Script Even Moves/Installs The HTC Widgets To Internal Memory...
Steps:
1. Download The Fixed-Rosie-UI-Optimizer.exe & Extract Any where By Double Clicking It.
Download Link: http://android-latest-build-images.googlecode.com/files/Fixed-Rosie-UI-Optimizer.exe
2. Connect Ur Phone Via USB Cable
3. Run The Optimize_Rosie.bat File.
4. Choose Appropriate options..
5. Reboot The Phone (NEEDED)
Dex-Optimizing
After All That, The Widgets Would Take Some Internal Memory, So I Would Recommend Using The Dex Optimizer...
Steps:
1. Download The Dex-Optimizer.exe & Extract Any where By Double Clicking It.
Download Link: http://android-latest-build-images.googlecode.com/files/Dex-Optimizer.exe
2. Connect Ur Phone Via USB Cable
3. Run The DEX-OPTIMIZER.bat File.
4. Choose Appropriate options..
Credits: buttkicker (optimization script),
I Dint Know Hod to make such scripts with options Learned from HTC Hero Speedup vXX by tehseano so credits to him too...
If Any one else left inform me i ll add..

Please add this to the wiki and PM me the url so I can add it to the roundup thread.
Only post problems with the above thread. Do not go off topic.

ryanmo5 opened this thread saying it didn't work and it messed up his home screen.
Thank you ryan for trying this out and letting us know.

i tried this and it says no such file or directory on all files. And then it says it cant find .apks for all files to install. Ok i didnt even look at my home screen all my widgets are gone except the clock. When i try to add the htc widgets im left with only 4 widgets.

Also the Install-Enable-SU.bat did not work for me. Was stating batch was inoperable.

Yeah, the UI tweak totally borked my phone. It locks up at the HTC logo. I went back to ion till tomorrow.

WEE!!!
AWESOME. This is fantastic. Thank you for your hard WORK!! much appreciated! Seems to have worked like a charm for me and i can really notice a huge speed boost especially when going back to the home screen.
I have found my HEROOO!
Oh and btw, when you do the part to optmize for Rosie, the folder that contains the apks should be renamed from Rosie to Files. That will make things work. It did for me.
I miss the Rosie UI lock screen though... its gone?
But wow incredibly speedy and even a lot more stable? Thank you sangeet.003 and all the other FANTASTIC developers on this forum who keep me and my G1 busy with fun goodies.

Here is a oddball question, couldn't someone just create a update.zip with all this done? I'm not familiar with signing pkgs and what not. So I'm not 100%.

i'm a mac user.
but i kind of smart when it comes to these things so i got it to work.
but for other mac users do you think you can just up load the files and post the
adb commands.

I think i read somewhere that it wouldn't be possible because of how big the update.zip would be which is why when flashing Hero, you need the ext2 to store the apps_2
the great thing is, if you just keep testing, reading and messing around with running everything from roms, scripts, commands and tweaks, you eventually get things to work and and you find a huge satisfaction and semi-understanding of it all and you find yourself appreciating the developers here for their work.
Wow its four in the morning and i think im on a strong sugar high because i never post.

so changing the folder from rosie to files worked for you

yeah rename "Rosie" to "Files"

well did a refresh of Hero and applied all the tweaks here (after renaming the folder as well) and all is wel. thanks a ton for this!

I was wondering if you could use app2sd after using this mod, or will this disable apps2sd?

Ok i did it and it works but there is a slight problem the messaging widget dosent show up. its completely gone. i read the batch file and its missing from the batch file. If you could re write it with the htc messaging app included then this app would be perfect. Or does anyone know how i could get the htc messagine widget back by myself

I think if you placed the "Files" folder onto c:/android (or wherever you put adb) and then:
adb push files/htcmsgwidgets.apk /data/app
that *might* work, not sure because I haven't tried it myself.

That is weird because i have super user and terminal working on mine just fine from JF previous install

a few widget's were missing..
clocks & contacts
also in the batch file, the msg widget was not reinstalled onto internal memory(probably just forgot to add that line)
so I redid his batch file to include the 2 missing widgets as well as adding the line for the msg widget and changed the folder to files
cause I know how lazy most of you are
http://hotfile.com/dl/4938120/a4a6fc0/Rosie_UI_Optimizer__ALLwidgets.zip.html
and for the mac user's
just open the .bat file in text editor (.bat files are nothing more than text anyways) in there you can see each command that is run and do it yourself manually,...
yeah it's a ***** but I'm not about to figure out how to write a shell script for OSX on XP just to appease my old brethren, maybe pickup a copy of BBcode and insert the commands, don't know it that would even work, just a thought heh.
---credits to sangeet.003 for goin' through the trouble to make this batch files, I'm just an "editor"

everything worked perfectly and 20 times faster not exact but i see a huge difference just now noticed that the messages widget was missing so bout to add that thanks to all developers working hard im sticking with hero i know people love it as much as I do so it has to keep getting better

Easy Font Installer (Windows App)

Below is a link to a project that i did a while back. It is a basic batch script that can be run on Windows. I have not had time to really update any more fonts or edit the script, but plan on doing some tweaking soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674434
I am releasing this batch script with 35 fonts that I have. Font Selector V1.3 is my most recent work now with font preview. I feel this is pretty good now and will focus on a interactive GUI.
I am also working on some projects that will not only help with installing fonts, but with everything you need to do from your computer with your phone.
It has been reported that some do not work and some are duplicates. I should have fixed any that were not working, but have not removed duplicates yet.
Thanks to DexSade for installing all of these on his phone and taking screen shots.
This is for Windows only.
This should run from anywhere as long as you make a PATH to the Android SDK tools folder
Here are directions to do this for Windows
Windows XP / Vista
Right click on the My Computer icon and select the properties tab.
Select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
In the new dialog box double-click on Path (located under System Variables) and type in the full path location to the tools directory.
This is simple to use....
1. Download the zipped folder and unzip the contents anywhere you want
2. Connect your phone through usb
3. Double Click on Font Selector
4. When you choose a font a preview box will pop up. To continue close the box
5. Answer Y or N and it will push the fonts and reboot the phone
I have not tried all of them so please let me know if they do not work or are too big.
Please let me know if this is a good idea or not, as I can easily add more.
Change Log:
V1.4--Added Ubuntu Beta and changed parts of the script so it should work with all versions of Windows
V1.3--Changed script to open up font preview before installing. Included checks to ensure that you are installing correct font
V1.2--Added Juice to #36 and fixed font locations(they should all work)
V1.1---Removed font number 10 and replaced with MyriadPro-LightSemiCnIt
Added several other fonts

[Reg Edit] Right click ApkTool

First things first, credit and thanks to Brut.all for his awesome tool.
Now then, i couldn't find anything like this so i've created a very simple little reg edit to enable right click de-compiling on apks and right click builds on folders.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks with no problems and it's great for those quick .9 or xml edits.
DISCLAIMER:
This was made for the Windows XP operating system! .so im not sure if it will work on other Window OS, feel free to try but im not responsible for your computers well being so use at your own risk.
EDIT:After a little research it seems the registry tree is the same for "Vista" and "7" so it should work on them also
To use this you must have apktool working correctly.
Only works if your path variable is set to C:\sdk\tools\
If your Path variable is set differently you have 2 options:
1-let me know where and i'll attatch appropiate reg-edit.
2-Easy option, create a folder on your C:\ named "sdk", inside the sdk folder create another folder named "tools,
now copy the contents from your original tools folder into your newly created tools and add the path in enviromental variables. Simple.
RECOMMENDED:
It is highly recommended to backup your registry prior to installing, just follow the simple instructions included in the download zip.
To install:
Simply extract .reg file from the folder, double click and answer yes.That's it
Now your ready to become a de-compiling/building whirlwind.
Useage
-I simply right click an apk, "empty.apk" for example, choose decompile (you recieve a folder with the apk's name), navigate into the res\drawable* folder and drop in my .9.png's.
-Backout of folder, right click "empty" folder and choose build.
-The built images are in are located in "empty\build\apk\res\drawable*".
-The built apk is located in "empty\dist".
I've included an empty.apk for quick .9.png edits, this saves hunting through endless amounts of images for your newly created .9.
If the tool fails it could be something simple-
Problem: solution:
-Folder already exits -Delete or rename
-.9.png's not properley edited -Fix using draw 9 tool
-Required framework not installed -Open cmd and type "apktool if FILE LOCATION\framework-res.apk"
Remember this is a simple tool, for more advanced useage and logs use apk-manager
Final Note:
If Brut.all has any reason for me to remove this please let me know and it will disappear ASAP.
Thank you.
Link and Contents::
ApkTool_reg_edit.zip(contianing reg-edit)
reg_backup_restore.txt
empty.apk
>>>Windows Reg Edit<<<
The above reg edit removes the ability to create folders on Widows 7, use the file below insead!!
>>>Windows 7 Reg Edit<<<
If for some reason you lose the ability to create new folders here is a fix:
>>Here<<
Just extract and double click, it might say "cannot import all data", just ignore it, it will restore your create new folder option.

Don't mind if I do!

Haha, you win a prize of getting a thanks.

You have no idea how much I love those! When I get back to my computer I will give you one for this awesome little tool because I have never used apktool because of the command line. I always used apkmanager.

[Q] Icon location and question to themers about framework-res.apk

Well I've started theming myself since I wanted a Windows Phone 7 Theme and learning as I go along but I've come across a few hurdles.
1. How do I push framework-res.apk without losing configurations like my email/gmail set up or wallpaper being back to default?
2. Where do I find the icons for the top right voice search and search buttons? I've found a couple that look identical within the files but when I change them nothing happens.
3. Any good guides or tools on how to make a flashable zip? I used to just use a script to make an updater script but it doesn't work anymore since they changed it to edify. I'm a lowly designer and can't figure out how to make a working updater script.
Thanks in advance.

Bump to the top.

and another bump ):

hope this helps...

1 is as simple as that? Sweet.
Also I have apk manager and Update zip packer but they use the old updater script ): But if I can simply use other peoples update script and replace their files with mine then that shouldn't be a problem, thanks for the help.

[TUTORIAL] User-Friendly Custom Lock-Rings for Sense 3.0 (EVO 4G)

After going through many of the different lock ring tutorials, I have noticed that they all have something in common: They are too user intensive and prone to user-error. Sure, once you have it down, it's easy. But it can be daunting to start out.
All I have done here is make it EXTREMELY user friendly.
No more copying and pasting into ZIPs and APKs!!
No more fishing around the Templates tree in M10 Tools!!!
Simply run the BATCH file, get a cup of coffee, and then flash!
Here are the detailed instructions... (also in the Read-Me)
0. Make sure you have installed Microsoft .net 4 framework on your machine.
http://www.microsoft.com/net
1. Unpack User_Friendly_Lock_Screen_Kit_v1.04.zip (Where you put the file does not matter anymore!!!! For example purposes, I will use C:\Lock_Ring_Kit)
2. Copy your image into C:\Lock_Ring_Kit and name it LockRing.png
Image requirements:
a. Must be a PNG file
b. Image must be 271 x 270 pixels (If it is not the right size, it will come out looking funny (270x271 WILL NOT WORK)
c. The image must be rotated 180 degrees and reflected horizontally.
3. Double-click "LockRingCreator.bat" and let it do its thing.
4. Flashable.zip was just created for you. Rename it whatever you wish.
5. Copy it to the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, and flash
The BATCH file cleans up after itself. You don't have to go through and delete any of the old files. If you want to make another one, just change out the PNG and run it again. My desktop is pretty old, and the BATCH takes about 2 minutes to run.
I have only tested this on Synergy, but I assume that it will work on similar ROMs. I also believe that it will work on the Thunderbolt (can someone confirm that?)
All files are included in the ZIP.
User_Friendly_Lock_Ring_Kit_v1.05.zip
Error Reporting
This is a work in progress. If you have an issue, please post it on the thread. Also, please copy and paste the output from the command prompt so we can get to the bottom of it. (Right click on command prompt, Select All, the then press ENTER. It is now ready to paste.)
Acknowledgments:
jmaher1023 - I used his process as a template. All that my BATCH file does is automate his process
Flemmard and DiamondBack2010- I have no idea what M10 Tools does or how much trouble they had to go through to make it, but I do know that it is the heart and soul of this whole operation.
Confirmed ROMS
Gingeritis3d
Synergy RLS 1
InCompatible ROMS
Kinged Shooter RLS 2.3

I'll try this out, thanks alot dude.

One thing you didn't mention is that the images still need to be 271 X 270 or they won't look right. Other than that this works on Gingeritis3d. (And if I want to say I was the one to create the lock ring I might edit the script) lol. Very good work though man. Very useful tool. Have you been able to find where the images are located for the Amazing sense skin? I haven't found those yet and want to use that semi transparent tool bar at the bottom but dont want to use a different launcher

somehow i cant get it to work ive followed every step but when i run the
"LockRingCreator.bat" it just goes into cmd really fast and nothing happens

What operating system are you running? Do you have Microsoft .net 4 framework installed on your system?
When it is working properly, after you run the BATCH file you should see a command window running various commands for a little while.

did you make sure the file was named LockRing and was a png format? Something else to consider is that if you named a png image lockring.png then when it looks for the file it will see lockring.png.png so make sure it is a png format image but only name it LockRing.Hope this helps

Thanks brudda. I was only kidding about renaming the script. I knew where to find it. I can run a couple other ROMS if you want. I got nothing better to do tonight. Let me know which ones you want to add to your list and i'll do a couple.

just downloaded will test in a minute on mik3d beta1, but in the read me file, no sizes for pic you intend to use (just a heads up).

Forgot to mention I am running Gingeritis 3D Beta VIII. And I do have .net 4 installed. Maybe thats why i didn't have any issues. Also I didn't even read the read me file. oops.

dropbox has been the easiest, havent hit a limit yet, except storage space..... which i upgraded to eliminate that problem, all the others i have tried i cant upload anything because they limit file sizes that you can upload, where as dropbox just syncs with your desktop, takes awhile but works.

just tried it to make a flashable zip and it did the same thing as other guy, flashed the cmd prompt super quick, no zip created.....
edit:
wait i just checked windows update and it has 2 updates for net framework 4 lol

nice i was using the copy paste way. i use one like this for the 3d(that was made by triscuit1983.

still didnt work for me, oh well back to m10 editor... thanx anyways

did you put it on your c drive i had that problem on the one for the 3d

I will try again tomorrow, work in the morning

Make sure that you unzip the files to C:\Lock_Ring_Kit. When I install them somewhere else ("C:\Lock_Ring_Kit______"), I get the same error you do. However, the BATCH file did what it was supposed to do. Since C:\Lock_Ring_Kit did not exist, it created it, and there is a "Working" folder as well as a "Flashable.zip" there. But, since the original files were not in the right place, it is useless.
When the command prompt just flashes, what that means is that M10Tools are not having a chance to run. The only explanation I have for that as of right now is that the files are not in the right location. Also make sure that you named the image LockRing.png.
I'll see about making the batch file spit out an error code, but it might be a few days before I can get around to it. I'll keep yall posted.
