[Request] Android Tips widget port for 2.1? - Nexus One Themes and Apps

Would anyone be able to port the Android Tips widget from Froyo to 2.1. It must be able to run on 2.1, as the Droid X has the widget and is running 2.1 ...
thanks in advance!

Did you try pushing the apk?

just tried pushing the Protips.apk and Protips.odex to my CM .8t5 install.
Lol, had to reflash my rom as it got stuck booting.

i tried installing the apk on my unrooted incredible with no luck. it looked as if it would install but just gave a generic "not installed" error. I'm guessing some modification of the apk has to be done to get it to work.

FYI, for anyone looking for the apk file, i've upped it here: http://www.grafixpressions.com/droid/Protips.apk
thanks in advance!

Bump for this....

May i ask why you wan't this? i had Froyo but never used it. It would be nice if it said your last message though

sure... i think it looks pretty cool on the home screen, i like the little droid guy. very stupid request (but i hope it's an easy one).
I'm willing to give out some free decals from www.grafixpressions.com for whoever can port this for me.
It's probably something only I would ever want... so gotta give people a reason to do it (unless they just like a challenge!).

one last bump in hopes someone can get this to run on an unrooted phone. I don't think it has anything to do with Eclair to Froyo...the app allows you to try to install it, but fails.

still looking for someone to help a guy out with this request!
Also curious if someone would be able to port the 2.2 Google Search widget as well...
thanks!

This does seem like a great idea. Good luck with it

why do u want it?
it shows 6 useless tips every android user knows

i already answered the question in the thread...

$25 worth of free decals from www.grafixpressions.com to the person who will port me those two widgets (Android Tips & Google search) from Froyo to 2.1

I tried installing the widget on my unrooted 2.2 evo, and it wouldn't install...strange. if anyone gets it working please do tell!

Im confused, why are u guys getting errors ? i took the apk from cm6 nexus and it installs / runs fine.

This one should work. Its from the X so you will see it giving you tips for the X launcher. Resigned.

Ack! You beat me to it! Thats what I get for double-checking it worked first when I knew it already would! I left the thread open while I was checking so I didnt see your post. You kick ass btw!

Is there some reason you don't just install whatever you think is missing?
it was a simple question that's all no need to get your panty's in a bunch you must be one of the people who want's everything for free and won't donate you must like obama to lol. i was just curios as to why it was missin thats all if it's not out it's not out no biggie
you should just install it if you think it is missing, and while you are at it make a new rom for the rest of us
i've looked around and can't find the apk anywhere

What does (not) donating and liking Obama have to do with a ROM? Here is what I did. I took the base ROM, took out what I don't use, put in what I did use, and re-signed it to make my own custom ROM. The instructions are on this very forum. I suggest you try it.
I am not sure why this is not included in any of the 2.1 Roms it was in the leaked desire Rom that modaco ported to the nexus one.
I have already tried installing this to the Eris 2.1 and to the new Fresh 2.1 and it just FC's upon being started.
I am looking into why it does that but as of right now I have no idea.
I could be wrong on this but I am pretty sure that friendstream is part of the updated Sense that HTC is working on not an Android app. So this won't be out until we can get the new Sense working which I don't think anyone has had any luck with.
oops, wrong thread.

We have a version of the new sense already. Modaco ported the Desire Rom to the Nexus one that has working FriendStream and NewsReader
I am not sure what is causing them not to work as of yet.
my guess is that this is the reason why the "get more HTC widgets" thing doesn't work. maybe the friendstream and news widgets can be downloaded once they get the support for verizon customers ready.

Updating Paid apps to 2.2...

How would I go about updating my paid apps so they work with 2.2? Is it as easy as just recompiling them with the 2.2 SDK? Or do I need the apps source etc. I am tired of waiting on some devs to update apps 4 weeks later...
Any kind of hope for an answer? I am talking about my own apps i have bought and i don't plan on sharing. Just would like some help. Google didn't turn up much.
why would you have to update apps you purchased? the developers update them, and most of them have already since 2.2 has been out for the n1 for a while now.
Not my nexusmod live wallpaper... its been 4 weeks and not one update to it. I wanna update it myself. Cause i own it and i can...i just don't know how.
not sure what you're doing wrong but I see it in the market for me? is this not the same app? did you run the market fix for the froyo leak that's in the dev section?
Um did i say anything about it not being in the market? It fcs when i try to use it with froyo.
aren't all those LWP's included in CM6? I would imagine you could just install the livewallpaper.apk from it and you'll have them.
it has nothing to do with the livewallpaper.apk... it's not coded for froyo. maybe a livewallpaper.apk from a 2.1 will 'patch it' but i dunno.
and it didnt' work in cm6 either, btw.
I need a good app dev. Its customizable nexus like wallpaper except you can customize it a pretty good amount which is why i bought it. Way better then stock .apks. i might ask stericson.

[Q] Ok, i got round to rooting, Now what ?

Rooted my X10i finnally the other day and im quite impressed with it,
Finally said goodbye to Moxier and Office suite and all the other useless junk that the X10 doesnt need
I used the one of the root apps that came out the other day (the one click ones)
So far all ive done is
- Installed Titanium Backed up all my things and deleted some others
- Installed WIFI tether but im a little unsure about using it
Are there data Charges? and kernel numbers (forgive me im new to this)
What i would like to do is......
- Update to the latest software, even before rooting i couldnt seem to update past 020, i understand 026 is out at the moment but i cant seem to get this over the air, or even via SEUS
Also im as eager as everyother x10 owner and his gran to get 2.1 i expect rooting will enable me to get 2.1 as soon as its available to us?
- Edit, The statusbar colour? or install the Dark theme that is a few threads below this (possibly make my own)
- Overclock Now this im not sure about, is it possible to overclock the 1ghz cpu at all (for running PSX4Droid), or even take it down a notch at times (save on battery?) is there an app for this ?
And also is there anything else worth changing to the X10, Love this phone but i feel its got so much more potential locked away in there somewhere lol.
Thanks for any help anyone can give =)
im know me and other newbs to rooting will appreciate any info anyone can give it now that its relatively easy to accomplish
im using the one click root thing and while titanium worked, i cant install that dark theme which is a bit annoying
There's two of them.. I was using the thread containing 'dark theme 1.0-1.4' (something like that)
worked fine for me.. im actually just like a beginner myself.. used that theme to try n start creating one of my own.. some bits are alright to do but others are quite complicated.. usually requires quite a bit of trial n testing.. might put some screenshots up soon! nufin special

change keyboard color

I am sorry if this has been asked already, the search feature isn't working and keeps telling me to try again in 10 minutes which I waited I think 15 minutes and it still didn't work and gave me the same message.
Anyways, I was wondering if there is a way to change the keyboard colors yourself? I know there is a way to use a site that's been passed around. However, I am curious if there is a way to do it yourself if that makes sense?
If so, where do I find the keyboard stuff so I can edit it? Or how do you go about editing it? I just would like to try and design my own theme if that is possible.
Thanks for any help, I'd appreciate it.
Anyone know of a tutorial or anything? I'm really interested in trying this. I would highly appreciate any information or helpful pointers. Thanks!
Still interested in learning if anyone is willing to point me to some information that I could use to learn how to make my own theme from scratch.
What type of keyboard?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Just wanted to make a theme or whatever for the android keyboard I have on my phone now, the latest gingerbread keyboard.
Since you arent getting much help I would recommend you using the smart keyboard... that is much better than the gingerbread.... and you can use skins with that one too... if you need help getting it just PM me...
Does it run pretty much the same as the gingerbread keyboard? The reason I'm asking is because I am so used to using the standard gingerbread keyboard that I am scared to try a different one, lol
Okay, I am currently running Smart Keyboard, and I have a skin that I have edited, however I am unable to figure out how to get it to show up in the list of skins. I have created a folder named skins on both the internal phone storage and the sd card but I am unable to get it to show up in the list of skins. I am not entirely sure what I am doing wrong. I did leave it as a *.zip file when I placed it into the skins folder on my phone not sure if that is the problem I am doing wrong or if I'm missing a step. I don't know.
Any helpful information with that would be appreciated. Thanks!
I'd you download the gingerbread keyboard from the market one of the available and free ones has skins.

I tried that already and wanted to try something else, doesn't seem like anything is working for me. Oh well.
Thanks for your help guys.

[Req.]Dedicated Mp3 &Gaming Device

I have an old shift...and my son loves to play games and music on it, like me he loves tech. stuff....My question....is there anyway someone could construct something with all the phone,contacts, etc. out of it?...and just have access to music and google play for gaming....I tried, but got foreclosures everywhere. ..Thanx, if someone may find time as im sure others would be interested in this as well....
I can give it a shot. What ROM are you interested in moding?
Man...just something simple possibly a aosp type rom so the sense stuff doesnt give you a headache....whatever is the easiest...lol

Well I spent a lot of time trying to put something together yesterday using Provision and so far I haven't been able to put anything together I like. As a short cut you can get Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the contacts and messaging apps. (Only those two!) That'll hide the dialer, messaging and contacts apps. There is a ROM like what we are talking about here for the EVO 4g. I'll read through what the dev of that ROM did to make it work. Maybe it can be ported.

Yeah I seen that also through alot of searching, but that is beyond my knowledge as far as porting...Man provision would look awesome though....Thanks for trying though...Love you work by the way....
I threw together a quick port of the EVO ROM I mentioned earlier this morning before work & it booted! Its a bit buggy but it looks promising. Ive asked for permissions & hopefully can get something available soon.

You are a beast...and im sure people will find this to be a nice option for the shift...
Hey guys. Would anyone be willing to look through an updater script problem for me. I ran my new ROM through dsixda's kitchen and now I'm getting status 6 error. I'm sure its something small but I'm to tired to do any more tonight. If not its ok. I'll just look more closely later.
Edit: Here's a link http://d-h.st/Bwf
Here is a test version on what I have so far. I would have an official release today but I stayed up too late last night and now I'm going to be late for work. http://d-h.st/omo Its still a bit buggy....
