HTC PDFviewer working on JF and Haykuro builds!

I"ve been whinging about this for awhile. A champion called strazzere has managed to patch the pdfviewer.apk. And has been tested on the JF build and Haykuro builds and also the latest SPL
Check it out his awesome work - http://strazzere.com/blog/?p=266
Original thread at apps forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506595&page=4
Instructions
1. Download referenced files
http://www.strazzere.com/android/libpdfreader.so
http://www.strazzere.com/android/FilePicker.apk
http://www.strazzere.com/android/PDFViewer.apk
2. Copy all files to your sdcard
3. Install the patched pdfviewer.apk either using your standard file explorer (Astro, Lina, etc) or using:
adb install /location_of_your_file/PDFviewer.apk
4. Copy the refenced files to the correct location, either adb shell or terminal emulator punch in:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cp /sdcard/libpdfreader.so /system/lib
# cp /sdcard/FilePicker.apk /system/app
Enjoy =]
Problems and Fixes
--------------------
If you have any initial problems, try redownloading the files because they may be corrupted.
FilePicker does NOT need to be "installed (going through Linda/Astro file manager or adb install)" so to speak, just following the above steps and copying it to correct place is sufficient.
A JF complete image with Pdfviewer included:

if anyone wants it I have compiled JF1.5 with this Pdfviewer and the new Better Terminal (old one removed) app already installed you just have to ALT + S. I have tested it on my device and it works perfect. I didn't do anything special and am taking no credit for the ROM as I just copied the files into the right spots and resigned the .zip file.
I tested it twice... both times flashed without any problems
If you choose to use it just like any other ROM update.
Rename update.zip
boot into recovery
alt+s
home+back
**should not have to wipe**

Follow the link and download the 3 files: libpdfreader.so, FilePicker.apk, PDFViewer.apk.
Open the terminal and enter the following:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cp /sdcard/libpdfreader.so /system/lib
# cp /sdcard/FilePicker.apk /system/app
# reboot
When the phone restarts, use a file explorer of your choice to find and install PDFViewer.apk via package installer.

Gonna try this later

works great!
thanks!

glad you like it thanks for the rehash smurphete, and thank you for retaining the credits

thx for this.

Works great on jf's build, thanks for sharing.
Go Lakers!!!

strazzere...
AWESOME!!!!
works great thanks!!!

thanks alot
Thanks for the great I used download crutch and the second set of instructions using the terminal worked fine. Never undertood using adb when all can be done right from the phone no pc needed.

works great! thanks!

Awesome! Thanks guys!

Cool that he got it working on JF 1.5, but the HTC PDF viewer is so slow, RepliGo Reader on the Market render pages much faster.

I was using repligo before this came out...I think repligo and htc pdfviewer render pretty much the same speed. Biggest annoyance about repligo is that it renders one page at a time. Look at one lecture slide. Next page....wait....wait...wait....rendered...damn not the slide i want...maybe its page 5.....go to page 5.....wait...wait...wait....
Whereas pdfviewer renders multiple pages at a time. But repligo is completely pwns pdfviewer when you zoom in and out, no loading time at all.
And repligo costs $$$ && think of us poor souls in countries without paid apps...well legitimately anyways

Im sorry, did i miss something? the pdf viewer i pulled from either a haykuro build or one from thedudes a long time ago has been working fine on any build ive used. im on jf1.5 now and it works with no problems

Thanks for this, been wanting it. Works great.

There is yet another way to do this from your PC, maybe easier for some.
1. Download the files to your /sdk/tools folder.
2. At a command prompt enter the following commands:
a. adb remount
b. adb push libpdfreader.so /system/lib
c. adb push FilePicker.apk /system/app
d. adb push PDFViewer.apk /system/app
All done.
Thanks to all who contributed to this, it actually opened a pdf that I couldn't previously view on my phone!

Nice work on this. I messed around with the bytecode of this thing for hours trying to remove the calls into com.htc.protection but eventually got frustrated and gave up. Glad someone with more patience picked this up.

Anybody try it on an HTC 1.5 f/w?

get multitouch in jf 1.51 US..the easy way

to fix the multitouch bug you just have to run these few commands in terminal emulator:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/app/Browser.odex
reboot

myabe im doing something wrong but i keeo getting
rm: cannot remove '/system/app/Browser.obex' : Nosuch file or directory
any suggestion?

Try Browser.odex instead

Browser.odex worked for me

lol, the original poster should edit his post.

No joy either file types

same here.

No odex files in my JFv1.51
# ash
ash
/ # find . -name "*.odex"
find . -name "*.odex"
/ # id
id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
/ #

That's because if you just recently downloaded JFv1.51, JF re-packaged it to not include the file that needed to be deleted.
From here:
Note: I’ve updated the US and UK downloads in the v1.51 release blog post to an updated version that has this fix. I didn’t update the version number since this is a small problem that is easily fixed. I believe jf updater has been updated with the fixed builds as well.

Don't you people bother confirming whether you have multi-touch already before you try fixing something that isn't broken? If the file's not there you should already be good to go.
And they're not different file types, "obex" was a typo, "odex" is correct.

What are those odex files? Seems like every system app has one.

Me confused lol

I was checking the jf build info and it said us version didn't have multitouch, come to find out it does. Thanks for the tip.

The easiest way to get multitouch in the browser is to just go to http://www.wise-projects.com/android/browser.apk on your phone, and download that, then install it.
And you should have multitouch!

Nexus One Lockscreen & Fresh Rom 2.0d doesn't work?

It shows..its ok. Unload some of that over Easter weekend.
BTW As far as Lockscreen is concerned. I just removed HTCLockScreen.apk and rebooted. and had what I think is the Nexus Lockscreen. Only thing I am not able to achieve is the Dialer which is in Nexus ROM.

I never used a update.zip file I used ADB and these commands
adb remount
adb shell
su (<you dont need to do this if you have Root access already)
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
reboot

AFAIK adb remount is the same thing as your whole mount command there. that step isnt needed

When you type "rm /system/blah blah blah" you have to make sure everything is capitalized like it is on your rom, check the files in a file manager to see how its spelt and capitalized.

I just copy and pasted what I did that worked for me, this won't work for any of the newer 2.1 roms for some reason even tho it worked just fine for Damageless2.1 and a couple of others but the new ones based off of Sprint leaks are screwing up the lock image and so far noone has a fix

i installed lockbot and im always skeptical of 3rd party lockscreens but this one amost gets the job done..just no music audio control with screen off and some lag

Quote from Fresh 2.0d release notes
The stock vanilla lock screen is still broken. This is straight from HTC and is how it is
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That update.zip that you linked to has 0 files in it. All it does is:
Code:
delete SYSTEM:app/HtcLockScreen.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/HtcLockScreen.odex
Once you do that the vanilla lock screen takes over. The vanilla lockscreen on all of our Sprint leaks has been broken. It is part of the frameworks and is not a separate apk.

Custom Window Animations +

I was experimenting with the framework-res.apk and there i get a folder named anim. So I put some anim files from many ROM's of Galaxy i9000's anim files in i5801 and it works.
So I uploaded it here, If U want, than U can grab it from here.
It's really very cool.
How to :
if you want to use these animations:
1. Download the file in zip format.
2. Just extract the framework-res.apk from the zip file.
3. Now put the framework-res.apk into /sdcard.
4. Now do backup of framework-res.apk and copy it into /sdcard/external_sd or wherever you want.
5. Now put the framework-res.apk in /system/framework using root explorer. Sorry I don't know how to push it using ADB
6. It can only be possible if the phone is rooted.
7. Make sure the /system/framework space is this much enough to copy the file.
8. Now reboot the device and feel the changes.

before you copy the framework-res.apk you have to remount system with adb shell:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
and after you can owerwrite the framework-res.apk in system folder with root explorer

i know, that was not the problem, my problem was the custom kernel by gsam

I was wondering: How did you change the framework-res.apk and resigned it without having problems ? I tried to change the battery artwork, and all i get is FC..

Yaffs2 are u sure? I think system is rfs

Download SGS toolbox or mount /system rw from market and no more problem mounting as rw.

The right command is
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

[THEME] Gingerbread with Accurate Battery [Test][EDT]

Ok, to know if I have an understanding of the SK4G enough to begin development, as I don't own the phone, I have developed a quick Gingerbread theme.
Full GB theme with accurate GB battery.
This is not a flash. Push the files to your framework folder, test, take screenshots, and report back - please.
I do not have the phone so no screenshots but this is based off my Vibrant ROM located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061811
Framework is based off the Dump found in the dev section.
If there is no input, then I will assume there is no interest and find my way back to the Vibrant section.
Download <8.62MB> - http://www.mediafire.com/?ecqf24b15u6cgtk

Ill try it later today hopefully. Busy day today.

Anyone test this yet? Is it sgs II theme?

I'm busy but I made a quick rar for you. Flash it in CWM to push back stock framework-res.apk and tw-framework.apk in case system won't boot. (you may want to clear cache before flashing as I didn't add it into the script Im in a rush)
edit: also you can just adb push the stock files back from inside recovery... your pc should still detect the phone

What are the movement keys for cwm? I booted into recovery once and saw that the correct keys weren't working..

Id save his cwm flash on the card just in case, then use root explorer to push mine in place.
Or right click on his choose copy then paste. Rename the new ... - copy.zip to gbtest.zip. Then using 7zip, open, not extract, the gbtest.zip, navigate to the framework, and drag my framework in and it will overwrite his - now close the zip and save both to your card. You can now flash mine and then revert with his.

I push everything from recovery and save the files I want to push to the tools folder so I just have to use:
cd c:/android/tools
c:/android/tools adb push framework-res.apk system/app/framework-res.apk
c:/android/tools adb reboot

im a little confused.. i cant seem to access adb. theres no bootloader, so what state does the phone need to be in?
also, i would flash via cwm, but the sdcard wont mount, so im a tad confused at this point.
ok, i figured out how to get into adb, but the files wont push. i get an error:
c:\Users\Bryan\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push framework-res.apk system/app/framework-
res.apk
failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to 'system/app/framework-res.apk': Read-only
file system
c:\Users\Bryan\AndroidSDK\tools>
EDIT: I ended up just using Root Explorer and i put the 2 framework files into system/framework manually. If you need more screens let me know. Also, as you can see in the screen shots, the txt is hard to see in the options and "add to home screen" windows.. i went to the theme options and changed the theme bar colors, which changed the txt to black.

@bburke88 where did you go to find theme settings and change the text to black ?

Hey, I just used the theme changer. Its built into the sk4g. I had my theme set to the default, but when I changed it to the light blue It changed some of the txt on the widget selector menus black. Though, the power off menu is still white, so its hard to read.

Thanks alot, and that could be handled by xml edit to change the text color most likely or change the popup background color.. thanks again though.
Have you tried pushing the stock framework back to make sure it'd work ? I might see if I can change the popup background color to a darker color like black or grey to keep it in sync with he gingerbread theme

Yeah let me know if you get something going. Im waiting for Jellette to get back on so we can figure out what to do next.
By chance, do you have a working recovery? i can boot into it, but the controls are weird, and i cant get my sdcard to mount, therefore it wont let me do any nandroid backups..

Looking at the pics now. But thats what I needed to know, it looks like the themechanger overwrites xml changes in the framework.
