[REQUEST] Unlocked Teeter

Teeter is one of the few games I play on my Evo (when I'm not playing Angry Birds or Drop), but recently, I decided to switch between MIUI and CM for a while.
At first, when I couldn't find it in the Market, I figured I would just copy it from Myn's /system/app/ folder and install it manually in CM. Needless to say, it didn't work.
Shortly after, I found an unlocked version in, I think, the MyTouch 3g forum, but it's too low res to play. So, I was hoping that it wouldn't be too much trouble for someone here to unlock the Evo apk for me. I tried to attach the original apk, but for some reason, I couldn't upload it from my phone, so here's a link to my dropbox.
Edit: now i can post links

I'm flashing from myns warm to miui and didn't realize teeter isn't on the market. Have you had any luck finding a version for any rom?

I found a version for Desire, but Amon RA won't flash it. I just resigned it with signapktic, and I'm about to test it.

Take the tether game out of /system/app from a rom that has it. Push it over to /system/app on your new rom. Just plug in your phone and run the adb commands.
adb remount
adb push C:\wherever\you\put\the\file.apk /system/app
adb reboot
Or just install Root Explorer ($2) and copy the tether.apk file from your memory card and then go to the system app folder. Push the R/W button at the top right of the screen, it should now say R/O. Then paste the apk inside that /system/app folder and reboot.
Either way, it will install itself.

I think the main problem is that the stock teeter game checks for Sense-related files. I could be wrong, though. I'll try your way and report back. I had some file zipping problems (ES file explorer messes up the directory structure), so signapktic didn't quite work.

tether.apk is not the teeter game, that is the app file for the tethering application for the sprint hotspot.

[Q] Change stock launcher(home app) to Launcher Pro or whatever. How ?

I've read about this here a bit but it's not really well documented or tutorialized.
So, how can someone change stock launcher to whatever launcher he/she wants ?
I know this is done via adb console, this is not the issue. But dunno what needs to be taken out and replaced; if something needs to be renamed or not. Where can the apk files be found for newly installed software ? and also what needs to be removed from the stock launcher ? odex & apk ? I know where to find the apk, but not the odex. and are any more files "bound" to the stock launcher except the apk and the odex file ? If say i use a filemanager to locate my desired launcher (having said launcher installed), will pushing it into the /system/app folder do the trick or do I have to rename it ? That means that basically the system/app folder is like a folder for apps that are launched automatically when phone starts.
Can someone help me & shed some light on this ? Thanks !

as few ways to do this. isntall launcherpro (or what launcher you want).
use root explorer to move com.fede.launcher.apk from /data/app to /system/app
change the name to launcherpro.apk
change the permissions to read for user, group and others. write for user only.
reboot
once you select launcherpro, use root explorer, go to /system/app, and delete launcher.apk or home.apk or whatever your rom uses as stock home/launcher.
or, use adb
Code:
abd push launcherpro.apk /system/app

Thanks man, though I have some questions:
Q1: how do I do
change the permissions to read for user, group and others. write for user only.

Q2:
once you select launcherpro, use root explorer, go to /system/app, and delete launcher.apk or home.apk or whatever your rom uses as stock home/launcher.

Don't I have to rename launcherpro.apk to home.apk in order for it to work @ startup time ?
Instead of deleting home.apk, perhaps moving them to the sdcard might be better (just in case).

you can use root explorer to change permissions. just long press the apk and a submenu will pop up with permissions being an option.
whether or not you need to change the name of launcherpro will depend on your rom/device. you can leave launcherpro as is and leave home.apk in there, reboot. when it boots, it should have a popup asking which you'd like to use as the launcher.
or, install launcherpro like normal, select it to be the default launcher and it should always launch at boot.

thanks a lot ! will try this out !

how to install camera.apk?
I am a forum noob trying to figure out how to install camera.apk over the existing system app. I consider myself a competent searcher/hacker but little experience with android beyond a careful root and backup. I tried hard searching the forums and web without success on how to do this. If you can help with instruction or point me to a resource I would appreciate it. Cheers

Instructions for installing apk with root explorer:
1. download apk or apks your sd card
2. navigate to file and copy or move apk or apk's
3. navigate to system/app
4. tap on r/w at the top
5. paste all apks
6. change permissions to match the other apks's in the system/app directory.
7. Reboot
Root explorer is my file manager of choose but any file manager with root access will work

X
So this is a totally off topic, sorta, question about the camera.apk...
I like the Camera on this device. Its fast, very fast but on the ROM Ultimate G2x the camera lags like no other!! But the one on CM7 is smooth and i like that one very much!
So my question is, can i replace the camera on the Ultimate ROM with the one found on the CM7 ROM even though one is running Android 2.2.2 and the other is running 2.3.[?] ?
Thank you for your time!

How do I change permissions? Or is it just fixing permissions in recovery?

Buy root explorer or do it in terminal. Its worth it to buy Root Explorer, you will use it in the future.

Super Weird... But I use CM7 (Build 54 with colorized nightlies) I backed up / replaced the camera, as I dont like the CM7 one (since I cant zoom with the dam volume buttons) and applied this .apk.
Gave me a boot loop... I dunno if it was cm7 or andriod commander.

I'm pretty sure you need the lg framework for it to work

Now if only we could patch the apk so it doesnt have issues when below 15% battery. I HATE that limitation.

In that case i use "hdr camera+" app its a really good camera app only thing is doesnt have flash. But other than that is a good camera app.

Also Have Camera Problems
Hi guys my name is Natalli and I am new here so please don't attack if I posted in the wrong thread.
I believe this thread should be most appropriate.
I am working with a G2x freshly rooted as of today.
Flashed to a "P999_2.3.3_Stock_Tweaked_v1.2.2" rom that I found on this site.
So far everything is great.
MY DILEMMA:
Ever since I updated my G2x from the stock version over to Gingerbread I noticed that my awesome camera app disappeared. The one from the previous version had no shutter sound (which is a blessing) plus the settings were a lot better!
I do not like the camera layout or the position of the buttons.
I'd like to find the camera app that I had before. So would I be looking for the Froyo camera app? Or is it the LG camera??? I am confused please help.
I hate this new camera app, always have and always will.​

LG camera is the one your looking for. (That was also on froyo) its ported by flaco, you can find it in the developement section. Its not a 100%, but it works just find in my opinion ( since I don't use the ffc so much)

[Q] serendipity 7 - Camera

So, I just flashed the serendipity 7 ROM to my phone today, I love it. It's fast and doesn't drain the battery. Infused seem to drain the battery quickly.
Anyway, the power button to take a picture seemed to work this morning, now it doesn't. Is there some way to get it working again? I have installed lots of apps, but I don't think any of them mess with the camera. I installed the samsung quick office, music, clock and video player. (I downloaded the 4, not sure if I installed all of them.) I used the Android Sideload Wonder Machine, not sure if that is the source of the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.

The power button doesn't work to take pictures in S7. I remember reading this somewhere and can verify it didn't work for me after flashing S7. What I did to get it working is:
(FIRST, make a nandroid backup just in case!!)
1. Using your favorite file explorer (Root Explorer for me), go to the system/app folder on your phone
2. Mount the directory as R/W.
3. Rename the camera.apk in this folder to something like camera.apk.bak
4. Find a copy of the Infused v2 ROM, unzip it, go to system/app, and copy that camera.apk.
5. Go back to the system/app folder on your phone, make sure it's still mounted as R/W, and paste the Infused camera.apk into the directory.
6. Change the permissions on the camera.apk to match the permissions of the original camera.apk.
7. Next, mount the system/app folder on your phone as R/O.
8. You may have to delete and remake any shortcuts to the camera app you have on your home screens.
This worked for me and has worked perfectly all day, but I've only used it for a day. I won't swear that it won't mess something up in the future. I have taken approx. 10 photos since changing this with no problems, but you never know. Make a nandroid backup just in case, and save the camera.apk.bak in case it does FUBAR something.
PS: I wrote this as if you're a total noob. If you're not, I apologize. Wasn't trying to be condescending, just thorough. lol

How do I change the permissions?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk

If you have root explorer just long press on the file. It should have an option for permissions. The folder that the app is in has to be mounted as R/W to be able to change the permissions. I don't know specifically how to do it in other file managers. If you don't have root explorer yet, it is definitely worth getting. It's the best file manager I've used.
The exact permissions you need to set are:
All 3 rows should have Read checked, only the "Owner" should have Write checked, and nobody should have Execute checked. Make sure the file is already pasted into the system/app folder before you try to change permissions.

Is it true you lose front camera functionality and HDMI out with S7? :S

Mini Applications

Is there a way to remove the mini applications? I don't really need all these appz.

I use a custom rom and no mini apps found my device is p-5100 10 inch tab2 i tried fryrom version 7, cm9 and now in cm10 no mini apps or button for screenshot in any of them
Try a custom rom that conform to you device and you will not have them see developers section and take care of model number of your tab as it will help you choose the custom rom that is designed specifically for your tab

If you are rooted, use a file explorer that allows you to mount the system as Read/write (Root Explorer is a good one) and go into /system/app.
Remove, move, or rename everything with "mini" in the name.
Then go to /system/framework and remove minimode.jar
Reboot.
Done.

I just removed them from my 3113 with stock rooted Jellybean, I removed the apk and odex from system/app and the file from system/framework. Note: do not remove every file with "mini" in it on the JB OS, the taskmanager has a bunch of files with the word mini in them, it'll probably break something.
Doing just the files did not remove the arrow from the bottom right however, I had to extract SystemUI.apk and mod the button PNG files to make them transparent, just used 7zip to extract and add back to the archive, recopied in and reset permissions. I attached the transparent PNG's to this post. Only thing to note is if you press in the area where the arrow used to be, you still get the blue circle effect, there's a couple PNG's for that, doesn't bother me though so I didn't mess with them.
