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!
Not sure if you guys use this @ all, but I stumbled across it this weekend. Great tool for 2 big reasons:
1) Allows for seamless boot animation switching @ the drop of a hat; both from SD card and from server database. Option also to d/l and install fonts as well, though I haven't tried that one yet.
2) App backup/restore built in. Haven't tested against Titanium yet, but for what it does, it's nifty to have this included w/ the rest of the goodies this app offers.
Google it. Research it. D/L. It's worth it for boot animation install alone.

I bought this app a couple days ago. Works as promised and the developer was very quick to respond to my emails. I use it mostly for the fonts; you can preview, download and install right from the app. Only issue I have is with the boot animations, some of them aren't formatted for our screen size and look funny zoomed in.

But this does more then just change your font. This will backup apps, change boot screens, and more that I dont remember off the top of my head.

Does this app work on the Samsung Captivate?
Hi! U guys seems to have a lot of good information. I just wondered, you know . When I have rooted my Xperia X8 with the SuperOneClick v 1.6.5 and i'm checking it, it says : Su Binary not found in the system declared PATH. Anyone got a solution to my problem?

Can't wait for wifi and gps to be finished!!!! Simply amazing work guys!
So what all would be required to get calls working on this? Is it just a matter of getting a phone app on there or is it a more complex problem? Id love to see this get to be a full fledged, stable rom.
It won't ever have working phone stuff.
This is honeycomb, not meant for phones

You could have a duel boot setup to have both in one device, easier than switching backups. I'm gonna give this a run, any kernels work best for this?
Loaded this up, slow I expected. No on board keyboard that I got to work. The physical keyboard did not have functional numbers that I got to work. I could not get the power button to work either.Nice work though, looks good.
So, sent from my mobile. What's new?
sorry to bother, but i've a question.. i've got a samsung i9003 that has chipset mostly identical to droid, the rest of the hardware is different, i know, phone,gps,wifi,etc. it is possible to recompile kernel from milestone to samsung, knowing the differences,and adding the kernel modules to make it work? gingerbread for this phone is arriving next month,but no rom have been spotted, but i hopo... sorry to invade your section, but i wanted to ask to some developers and i hope a good reply... sorry for my english.
True, the original software isnt meant for phones BUT, he just managed to boot it on a phone, opening up the possibilty phone use. I want to know whats required to get it working.
I loaded up the rom and it works but there are missing elements, without them it is pretty much useless. I had no wifi or data so I could not load anything on it. Neat to play with though, needs a 1000 MHz kernel just to tinker with.
kind make me happy i made the choice of buying this phone in july last summer.
How about root access? Flashed another overclock kernel pushed setcpu but no root access
Very impressive although for phone use doesn't do much there. Plus I can't use the power switch to shut device on and off
did this project die? hopefully not just seems no development has happened in a while
Really, its not going to get any better than this. Only reason I ported it to my phone was because I wanted to see what it would look like. Then people started requesting ports. This was never and will never be anything close to a DD. Its just something fun to flash and play with for a minute, then go back to your ctual rom.

I don't want to come out as needy and disrespectful. This is just a request.
Can anyone creat a custome ROM that is as close to stock as possible?
With a few exceptions. Of course remove all the bloat ware, creat a new status bar by removing the t-mobile logo that waists space and the previously used apps (we all know how to hold the home button), and lastly make a numeric battery. Try not to use the circle batterys but stay as close to the original as possible.
Ooh as well fix sence 3.0 and have lockscreen icons.
Also I do use the caller I'd feature T-Mobile provides I don't want $4 down the drain so.please keep that function.
Sent from my mt4gs
patience, young jedi... I'm sure someone will come out with something soon. I'd like exactly what you're asking for, too!
if I ever get some free time (not likely in the next 2 weeks) I will start cooking up some roms for us. I'm in the middle of a big transition right now and just haven't had time to sit down and start tearing roms apart. -____-
op: have you checked out the UOT kitchen? you can accomplish most of the status bar and battery tweaks you want through it.
the bloatware I would just uninstall with TiBu or any other program capable of uninstalling system apps.
the sense 3.0 lockscreen... not too sure. I've always been an aosp guy so I haven't spent much time modding sense.
Im in the same boat as queen I have something in the works also soone as I finish this rom for my epic !
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App
No rush guys this phone isn't going anywhere. I would love to learn how to cook. I need to get over the big learning curve. The only reasone I ask is because there are specific files I don't know if are usefull or not. Like for example the new caller id feature I don't know witch files are associated with it. I do freeze as much as I can in tibp but I feel like its still slowing the phone down or taking up space. I've been a windows user a long long time and feel like when you uninstall something it's not the same as having a clean install. I can't get over that mindset. BTW thanks for the quick responce.

Those two changes require a framework hack, which requires another hack in services to disable signature verification. I've always wanted to remove those damn "Recent Apps" from the status bar, but only recently learned how to disable signature verification for when the framework is modified.
We have some amazing devs I'm sure sence 3.0 framework will be easly modified. Although I'm sure you can change the status bar without framwork mods like they did on the MyTouch 4g. Unless I'm wrong. Also thanks for revolution.

Until ROMs start coming out, use titanium backup to uninstall any of the bloatware you don't want. I uninstalled just about every app on my phone, and installed better versions of the ones I wanted, and in one case I uninstalled a stock app, then downloaded the same app from the market.
After getting rid of all the bloatware I noticed drastic battery life improvement, so I started looking at other things that were always running in the background, two of them were the preinstalled note pad app and Google Maps. I would stop them, and they would be back running in a matter of moments. I uninstalled both of them, downloaded Google Maps and ColorNote. For some reason, Maps is never running in the background any more. Not sure why that worked, but it did.
Well as I said in the post before I'm using the freeze function for now so I don't ruin anything. It goes into why I don't like doing that.

Means you have to copy SystemUI.apk to your computer, decompile it, re-write part of the code, re-compile it back into an .apk, then install it on the phone.
One of those "easier said then done" things, but not terribly difficult if you read through the thread and take the time to install the tools you need to your computer.
I'm intrigued by this, but there are other things on my list for this phone before I get around to something like this.
Is it just me or is the mt4gs forum dead? I know its the summer and all but wow. Not an attemp at anything. I'm not talking about custome roms. I'm talking about everything.
Sent from my mt4gs
Yeah it's awful. I'm at work all day refreshing for new content, and I'm left disappointed about 90% of the time. I need something to flash!!!
I've actually just decided to try recruiting devs from the Sensation forum. Given the similarity between the devices, I'm hoping that it wouldn't be too difficult for someone out there to help us out...

I wasn't expecting much dev support here in the beginning. I think ports will start showing up slowly but don't expect it to be anything like the Sensation subforum.
it's a shame because this is a killer device that can run anything thrown at it. with some patience and luck we'll get some devs who are interested in creating things for the slide... maybe from the G2 section once more people start changing over.
at least there's really nothing function-wise on the stock rom that makes it unusable for me. once the bloat is gone and ADW ex (or whatever home replacement you like) is loaded, it's pretty much all I need.. some aosp love would sure be nice though for me.
Yea, but it's a new device...and an expensive one so a lot of people don't have one yet.
For early adopters it's hard sometimes, my approach has just been to try to document everything as thoroughly as possible so that when devs do come, they have less work to do.
Of course, the best way to get something done is to do it yourself - i'd like to make my own ROM for this device, but i'm a long way from that. It'll happen, but i'm pretty positive that by the time I get it all figured out Cyanogenmod will have been ported to this device.
Still won't stop me from doing it though, i'm too curious.
Meantime, posting up everything we can learn about the phone will help in getting a custom ROM when a dev willing to do so comes through here.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm coming from the HD2 and the Galaxy St Vibrant so anyone who knows those phones understands.... I was thinking this forum would be a little more lively.
I've gone from refreshing a lot to refreshing once a day.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App
Yeah. Totaly. Look at the phones I've owned in the signature. I remember going back to the razer the forums were packed with hex mods and java games. Maybe not this specific one. Still this is the biggest mt4gs forum.
Someone above noted that the phone is new and expensive. That is definitely a factor. Also, from what I saw, T-Mobile didn't really market this phone heavily before it came out. Right at the launch I saw a good amount of ads but not long before. Like the SGS2 has gotten real advertising saturation. This phone is a real contender but because it doesn't have a huge screen it received, and continues to receive, less attention.
Things will pick up but at this point I have prepared myself for a wait. Devs will eventually get the word on how good it is and then things will pick up but it will take some time. For me, the hardware we have is worth the wait.
I did have a thought. Find out if there are devs working on this phone. If not, we could look at collectively getting a phone to a dev that could get it moving.

rom updated to cm7.2 stable and deodexed. nothing else changed, as the vibe i get is its pretty darn good as it sits.
this one was easy, its the cm7.2 stable base, with stuff added on top of it. i tried out ra3al's xperia home replacement, and boy was my mind blown. its just elegant, plain and simple. and it runs pretty good on our hero's too.
things added:
xperia s launcher and widgets from ra3al
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557091
xperia s boot animation
and i added the default wallpaper from ra3al's wallpaper pack available in his app's thread, and added xperia s fonts.
im not a developer, i just borrow things i think are mind blowing. if you want and see fit to, please find donate links for ra3al. he is a real dev, and is insanely talented. all praise to him and other devs.
this is cm7.2 final for our heroc's straight from cyanogenmod, so if something doesnt work that is not related to the xperia apps or theme, please ask cyanogenmod.
everything should work, except for an already known about bug with the tools widget. the brightness setting will fc, and its because i havnt had the chance to sign all of ra3al's apps and this rom with the same stuff. im looking into it.
i suggest using an app such as script manager and using a script such as v6 supercharger to supercharge rom and bulletproof launcher.
also please flash a gb gapps package after installing
now for the download link:

Same here. I saw this ROM on my HTC Evo Shift, I tried it and the widgets didn't work. Hopefully our heros can top that! I do miss the trackball from my hero though. Very helpful in Clockwork! I'll post back when I try it out when I have time!
Running smooth. Really like the launcher and animations. Probably going to keep it till my upgrade in July.

Thank you so much for bringing this smokin' port to the HeroC. I have tried CM 07 previously but this version seriously rocks our lowly Hero!!!!!!!!!! By far, hands down the best ROM I have run on this device...smooth and fast and I have encountered zero issues running this as my daily on Sprint!
sorry it took me so long to respond but im absolutely glad you like it nukeboy
May I ask what have you've changed/added except the launcher? I want to do a same project using the launcher, which is a great app with mind blowing animations, and porting will be time consuming instead of just making my own mod.
Cheers
hey 1ceb0x
i added the launcher and all the associated apks to a clean fresh copy of cm7.2rc3 (which by the way i need to update this so its cm7.2final)
link to launcher and widgets download: http://boekenhuis.net/xperia/xperia_s_home.html
i messed with framework-res.apk and changed out the default wallpaper also
for boot animation, i found an xperia one on google somewhere, cant remember the link off hand
and i replaced some fonts with xperia ones i found through google search (can remember link either).
hope that helps.
The smoothest rom yet!
However, programs sometimes take a long time to load: gmaps, browser, and slacker. I'm assuming these programs expect a faster phone?
I'm not sure, but it seems better than other roms.
yeah some things will be a little bit slow, the pace of android is almost starting to leave us in the dust.
glad you like this rom, and when i get a chance ill update it to cm7.2 final and reupload
Giving this Rom a go. Install and boot went well. Pretty fast 1st boot up. Started up the Market and took two or three times to get to initial screen. Been searching for a couple apps but it seems to stick in loading cycle, and rebooted a couple times but still struggling to find any apps from search as they continue to stick in Loading. Appears to be quick and responsive with touch and movement so far. OK after about five minutes the app Titanium Backup finally came up.
hey cheyennemtn,
glad you like it. those market screwups could have been the market updating, as the gapps usually offered are not exactly bleeding edge.
for titanium backup, i dont personally use it so i can attest to the speed or lack therof on hexperiac, but it could be due to the fact that the heroc is getting older by the day and many programmers are leaving us in the dust left and right.
thanks for testing! if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know. im gonna update this when i get a chance to cm7.2 final, so that might make things move a little smoother also.
Cool
Finally installed gapps!
Great Rom
Anyone who stills owns the Hero has to try this Rom. Extremely smooth once everything warms up. Use it with V6 supercharger and it is awesome for a device that is as old as ours.
as a wifi enabled device only
i love going back to the Hero and checking out new ROMs. good work on this one, fun! i primarily use it in airplane mode (with wifi on).
i'm kind of surprised no one has put out (that i've seen) a ROM that removes the radio, dialer and messaging apps. i wonder if i could remove the apps with titanium without screwing things up. no big deal but it would be nice to not see the No Service message.
