Koush Auto Browser without commands.

Well i know many of you have done this but i havnt seen it posted in this thread so here it goes just in case. * Longer Process* but skips dealing with all the commands.
To get auto rotate browser without going through all the command process.
1. Download Koush auto rotate browser here, http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/12/auto-rotate-for-android-browser.html.
2. Open the browser.apk file, I use winrar.
3. Copy all files from that zip.
4. Open any theme of your choice using winrar, goto app and open the browser.apk
5. Open the browser.apk in winrar and paste the files that you have copied from Koush's browser.apk
6. Save, Now you must autosign your update.zip by following this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3178676
7. Now put the update.zip that you just signed into the root of your sdcard.
7. Turn off phone and boot using home+power
8. Now hit alt+s to update, when finished reboot and walaah!
*This is for the people who are not comfortable using command prompt, works like a charm, has been tested on my phone using jf 1.31 rc30
? Has anyone els tried this and succeeded ?

Not understanding # 2, I went and downloaded the browser, it's an .apk not a zip file?

just fyi, the koush's browser does not need the odex file removed. it is just unnecessary, so why not remove it?

Edit your link for autosigning

ok- G1 newbie here- by theme you mean JF RC30/ADP1/RC8 etc?- YES is the answer to that-
now do i just zip the folder with the pasted files in it? Do i add it to archive? I did that, then chose RAR format and then changed name of file to Browser.apk. Is this correct?

crap! just realised i need java installed for this to work....... will try later..... still not sure if i did the rezipping procedure properly....

am i supposed to rename the "updated_signed.zip" file to "update.zip"?

Have you tried rebooting your phone after the update?

Well, I didn't before now, lol. Howerver, still a no go..

If his file is an apk, why can't you open the update, and replace the whole browser.apk file, then just resign it?

ill try it.
Has that worked for you?

Yes that's what I have done and its worked with all themes I have applied it to
I don't know why it wouldn't work for you, maybe your missing a step?

Me? i was just making a recommendation, i haven't tried it. Because he said to open the apk, and replace certain files.

Daily Challenge apk?

I have searched high, and low for this apk and I keep coming up empty handed. I know the widget is available via a custom Rom, but I rather not take that route just yet.
Is this apk out there?

I tried to take the notepad/task widget from Fresh RoM and install it on a couple roms with ES FIle and it wouldn't work so not sure if you even can do it that way.
Interested in finding out a way to get some of these widgets myself.

I was told if I can't get the apk in this forum, I can't be done lol. My fingers are crossed...

Still searching...
Just meant a few fellow Evo owner's that are also interested in the apk. I guess Im not alone

If you see it in a custom rom, then download the rom, rename it to a zip file, and just take the apk for the widget right out of there and install it to your phone.

I found the apk, and I transfered it to my SD card. I found it via Astro, but I get !Application not install message when I hit the install button.
Now Im lost...

Did you get the apk from the system/app or data/app folder? If it's the system/app folder, you're going to need to adb push it to the system/app/ folder using adb rather than package install it.

If so, it's legit just typing three command strings to move the file, and you're set... literally seconds.

I'm not familiar with unrevoked, and what permissions it gives you, but, are you experienced with adb at all? Do you have SDK tools installed?

unrevoked3 is a partial root. I would have to go with simpleroot to do what you speak of.
I need to take some time and sit down for a full root. Right now I'm riding around, and time is not my friend.

Its a pretty cool widget that gives you one good deed for the day. It could be hug a friend, or hold a door open for someone.
The file name:

I will do a full root soon, and yes on the fun part

anyone have dl link?

Here's the file

Well, I went a step further, and installed Fresh Evo 1.0.1 rooted via unrevoked3, and Rom manager.
The search option does work once in awhile

Default SGS3 sounds & ringtones download?

Anyone still on stock care to upload them, or have a link where they're already uploaded?
Some are strongly against them, but I love them. I'd much rather wake up to a soft acoustic piano, then some annoying/loud alarm.

funny, the first thing I did was go and find a "real" ringtone....
This place doesn't have the S3 yet, but they have quite a few others..

I was just thinking about that when considering moving to a new rom soon. I sort of like the stock notifications, the whistle when I get an e-mail is nice.

Let me guess , You installed a custom rom Right ???

Thank you.
Is it flashable through recovery, or does it need to be manually placed in a folder. If the latter, what folder(s) do the files need to go into, I'm guessing in /system somewhere?
UPDATE: NM, found where it goes, in media/audio, it doesn't look like a flashable zip.

No, it's not a flashable zip. I should have said that. You would need to copy these into /system/media to work. You might also need to change the permissions on them to get them to work. I copied one sound to another folder (I wanted to use it as an alarm), and I needed to change the permissions to RW to do so.

Here also is a link to a zip of the whole audio folder from a stock SGSIII on verizon.
Just got it two days ago, and had a chance to do an adb pull of the device earlier today.
I remembered seeing this thread yesterday, so made the zip of the folder in linux earlier, just got on lunch and upped it to dropbox.
I see someone else already has it up, but, figured i'd share it anyway as another copy. Also not flashable, just a zip of the folder itself.
Sent from a digital distance.

both links are dead.... does anyone still have these to share? been looking all over for them
Edit: just copied them from system/media to the SD card using Astro

This one worked for me on the Touchwiz Email ON A DEODEXed Stock ROM. (I did not create the script, I just use it )
It did not work before the deodexed rom came out but that could have been a fluke (ie not sure).
Run it the .bat file and type the following at the prompt when it says it can't find the email application:
SecEmail_J.apk
If necessary, the following is the name of the exchange apk (this shouldn't be required though)
SecExchange.apk
Hope that helps you.
_______
Another note:
After you have performed this once successfully, copy the SecEmail_J.apk and SecExchange.apk from the /system/app folder on the phone to somewhere on your computer for future use.
When you go to flash a new rom, open the .zip file and drop the .apks into the /system/app folder inside the ROM that you want to install. You won't need to run the hack script or do anything special in recovery.
As long as Touchwiz is not updated, those .apk files will be usable in place of the script. (unless you get an uneditable ROM .zip).
If Touchwiz is updated in the future, the answer would be to repeat the hack process above and then get the new versions of the .apk files for future use.
As always, I hope this helps.
Let me know if anyone has difficulty.

Glad it worked! I was going to post the actual files from my phone but they are over 8 MB and XDA has an 8MB limit.
Alright, I ADDED THE FILES FOR THE ORIGINAL STOCK ROM!!!!
I had to use 7zip to split the files.
Remove the .zip and the parenthetical at the beginning of the filenames, then highlight both and hit extract. (name them "Exchange_Bypass.7z.001" and "Exchange_Bypass.7z.002" )
ACTUALLY,
(remove_this_and_the_.zip)Exchange_Bypass.7z.001
and
(remove_this_and_the_.zip)Exchange_Bypass.7z.002
work just fine. In other words, leaving the leading parenthetical does not cause a problem.
A pain, I know. But all you have to do is take the extracted files and put them in the "/system/app" folder of the ROM you wish to flash.
Alternatively, if you want to install on your phone (not flash with a ROM), use a root file manager, overwrite the files already in /system/app on your phone, then set the permissions to "rw-r--r--" (I haven't tried this one to be honest, it might be better to use the hack to accomplish this.)

I just tested them. They worked for me so I am not sure what to do?
I updated the post above to give the exact names to use.
Exchange_Bypass.7z.001

Actually, all you need to do is remove the .zip portion.

I used the zip on MDL today and had no problems.

(LG V20, T-Mobile) Change Emoji from stock when rooted

Thought i'd put this on it's own thread so it doesn't get lost in the sea of comments where i put it originally. Mods, if this belongs somewhere else please move.
For anyone wanting to change their emoji and not sure if you want to use that switcher app, its very simple. Install ES file explorer (i can't imagine most of you don't already have it) and go to system/fonts and locate "NoToColorEmojii.ttf" and rename it to your liking (i just renamed it with NoToColorEmojii_OLD.ttf). Then download a replacement TTF emoji file, i used this one :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/oe85f3h5mj0731k/NotoColorEmoji.ttf
NEW WORKING LINK POSTED
download it and put it in the same folder the old one is in, reboot your phone, and viola, you're good to go.
Hope this helps!

YES! Thank You for doing this.

Im rooted and still cant edit system files. I re-ran the recowvery script, and when i got to TWRP, I swiped to allow changes to the system partition. Then flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip then flashed SuperSu.
I am certain about root priviliges. SuperSU prompts me when root is required, and I am using a custom rom.
I used a script in the app RomManager to mount system RW to no avail.
I am using ES File Manager. I dont understand this, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

I'm not a noob by any stretch but I'm feeling like one again with this LG stuff so just to clarify this is basically just a guess, but if you're positive you have root access then it sounds like the problem could be with the file explorer you're using. I don't use es file explorer myself so if it is the problem I couldn't tell you why, but I use solid explorer and I haven't had any issues with modifying system files. Anyway just thought I'd throw it out there in case you haven't already tried with a different file explorer. Hope it helps

That's good advice. My first thought exactly. I think the real problem was i had assumed the rom came with Busybox already installed. I installed Busybox when scripts for read/write access wouldnt run in apps that required it. Now things work perfectly.

It's funny because I had a similar problem when I first installed Adaway because it would download the updated host but it kept failing to install, and then it finally dawned on me when I was doing something else that required busybox that it wasn't already installed because for some reason I also had just assumed it was. Anyway I'm glad to hear you got it figured out ?
