Ringtone Trimmer

For the life of me I cannot install the stock ringtone trimmer onto DamageControl v1.0. Does anyone have the .apk file I need and instructions on how to install it?
Thanks guys
Lastly, all the developers involved in bringing us 2.1 to the Hero...you guys are friggin awesome. Long live the Hero!!!!!

ummm get it off of the market? it is free you know! if not google for the apk..it won't be warez as it's free. and to install just put it on your sd card and use linda file browser or another and that's, that. you could also use htc sync to install.

No go on the market. I don't want to use RingDroid. I loved the stock trimmer as it was basic and did exactly what I needed. Nothing more, nothing less

I have the .apk...I believe it's from 1.5, but when I use HTC Sync to install it, I receive a message on the device that it was not installed. No reason as to why though. I've tried installing it through AndroZip as well, same problem. Can't figure out whether I have the wrong file or whether I'm doing something wrong.

download the fresh kitchen and there is a tool in there that will allow you to push the file to system/app.

Ha ha. Yet another avenue that failed for me. And if I remember correctly, Flipz said his pre-kitchen only half worked with 2.1...I seem to remember him specifically saying not to try to push with it. I learned that only after I locked up my device when I tried to push the trimmer.

The reason the ringtone trimmer from the fresh kitchen didn't work is because its a 1.5 apk n not compatible. You could download flipz ROM and extract it or pm me your email and I'll send it to you

Here is the RingtoneTirimmer .apk from the Legend ROM. Its an HTC 2.1 ROM so it should work just fine. Install it through adb to your system folder.

Sweet! Thanks. I'll download this and give it a try. I'm the most savvy adb user so I'll try installing it through the HTC Sync.

Sprint Stock Rom with A2SD Support

This is the latest Sprint Rom based on the latest RUU leak with A2SD support (I used Darktremor A2SD 2.7 since it was easy to add it).
I have verified that A2SD is working as I downloaded and installed a couple of programs from the market. The programs are being stored in /system/sd/app.
Here's the link: http://www.darktremor.info/files/2.1/2.1-ruu-a2sd-signed.ziphttp://www.darktremor.info/files/2.1/sprintstock-21-a2sd-b-signed.zip
This one now has adb rooted (thanks to nfinitefx45 for his assistance) and does flash (heard complaints on the symlink issue...never sure what causes that, but ended up starting over and porting the files from the previous build).
This is for those people who want to keep with the stock installation but want the addition of A2SD. If you want a customized look, faster performance and A2SD support, I suggest a custom rom. Fresh 2.1.2 or FreshToast is a good one to use.
Note: It will not affect recovery.
Enjoy and I'll answer any questions you may have (if I can answer them).

did you manually edit the init.rc? and you should mention that this is a ROM, not an RUU

This is definitely an RUU as when I go into adb shell, I get the dollar sign as a prompt rather than the pound sign...I'm pretty certain it is not rooted.

This makes no sense at all.

Good point about the Rom vs RUU. Edited to correct.
As for the init.rc. Mainly it was init.rc edit.

Don't look at me...that's what I'm getting. Doesn't make much sense to me, either. I just know if I do adb shell, I don't have root access. But A2SD works fine.
I went ahead and released it since the goal was to get A2SD working...and I did that. Everything else is for a Rom developer.

tkirton,
here is your exact rom that's in your first post, but I deodexed it. You can add that to the OP if you'd like.
Everyone else, here it is too:

I have not tested it, but it should work fine. Deodexed /system/app and /system/framework

Well I flashed it and stuck on the HTC screen. Flashed the non deodexed version and loads fine.

So apparently i f***ed up deodexing lol. I guess that ROM that I did wont work..

well just loving this rom, but one question, can we get a updated boot.img with the adb enabled for access as root?

Now that the A2SD stuff is behind me, I'll take a look at that. Flipzmode or Toastcfh may be able to shed some light on how you get this image rooted correctly, especially Flipz since he's using the latest leak for Fresh 2.1.1.
The original goal was to get A2SD working on a stock rom, which I did....but it is rather annoying that it isn't rooted (or fully rooted).
Damage said in his point that it was rooted, but I got the same thing you did...no root when doing adb.
I'll talk to Flipz or Toast and see if they can point me in a direction to go.

well this is a piece from some of the reading I've been doing I beleice this needs to be done with in the boot image. I dont know if this will help in your research,
-------------------------
You also need to modify the ROM update script to change the default permissions for /system/bin/su so it can be used to elevate privileges to root. The script is in $WKD/dst/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script. Open it in your favorite editor and find the line starting with set_perm 0 2000 0550 SYSTEM:etc/init.goldfish.sh and after it add the following set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:bin/su
=======================

Hi tkirton,
Nice job on this and thanks for all your hard work on everything! I am also wondering what dedoxed means? Is it like where application data is also stored on the SD card instead of on the phone itself?
Thanks!

Droid X Multitouch KB for Eclair ROMs

Here's a working kb that I know works for eclair roms (more specifically, it works for me on Darchdroid 2.7 (an AOSP ROM). If anyone is able to get this to work okay using sense roms, that's great, otherwise, sorry.
Just put the file into u'r c:\ folder and push it via adb
Code:
adb push c:\DroidXIME.apk /system/app/
I just added the 'q-ime.apk' file as well. This file is similar to the DroidXIME.apk file, but, in my opinion, it seems to have better response than the droidxime.apk file. It also fixes a problem with displaying a correct symbol in the characters section of the kb.
Enjoy

I installed it via Astro manager, but even though it shows it's installed, I cannot find any settings to assign it as the default keyboard. Would it have anything to do with it being the latin keyboard? I do see the settings for "multitouch keyboard" but that's it. Also is there any visual difference between this one and the stock keyboard?

It'll look the same or similar to the stock KB. The multitouch is this KB

I'm surprised it doesn't work for ya... you just have to go into the shell after mounting /system and
Code:
rm q-ime.apk
Code:
reboot
Sorry it FC's on ya
They both work just fine for me. Stinx they aren't workin for ya
I basically posted this for someone on IRC so they could get the apk easily. Maybe it's only functional for AOSP roms... dunno

Use it like a normal computer keyboard ie: hold down the 'shift' key while you push another key to make it a capital, then release and keep typing - works great!

that would explain why it disappears after i reboot using Damage Control ROM.

can someone post a screen shot of how this keyboard looks? will this work with fresh 2.1.1. i am using the AOSP black keyboard right now along with AOSP messaging app and they both work great. someone please post a screenie! thanks.

is there still a space bar bug in this

when I do rm qime.apk I get Read-only file system. Not sure why. First time I ever had an issue loading anything.

use RootExplorer (find an apk) and use that..its better/easier than using a terminal emulator, plus, u dont need to remember/copy all those commands

does this keyboard have the spacebar bug where it only responds to the top of the button

[PORT] Droid 2 Multi-Touch Keyboard [Froyo] UPDATE! fixed4!

Got this working on a recent nightly for cm6 (dont see why it wouldnt work on any others too) also, it will most likely work on any deodexed rom (odexed im not sure) -- Let me know what does/doesnt work and ill try and do something or point you in the right direction.
this should also work with other phones (so far just hdpi phones)
EDIT: punk.kaos got it working on all phones! good work! thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021

something with the alt key not working correctly, i do not have a moto droid, so thats making it very tough to troubleshoot anything. anyone who does and wants to test some things, pm me, probably have some time this weekend to look at it

- &amp on one of the keys, more of an annoyance than anything, will fix eventually fixed!
- crap, another &amp error, when holding the . key...fix coming eventually... fixed!
- < symbol fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- vibrates too lightly fixed! <-- thanks for the help enragedpaza
- others?
Voice input works too!
Back up your stock keyboard first:
Code:
adb shell cp /system/app/LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk.bak
adb shell cp /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so.bak
FLASH (EASY) METHOD:
flash this from your recovery or from rom manager:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9yawjq9weakbl9y
Geo411m has made a black colored one. details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7684399&postcount=211
install the same as the easy way, otherwise download it and pull the apk out of it and install it with the manual method
ENJOY!
MANUAL (OLD) METHOD:
get both of these files:
apk:
fixed4: http://www.mediafire.com/?7q0406gqazq8rer
(harder vibrate, < symbol fix)
if you had an older version, be sure to switch to a different keyboard, then remove the old LatinIME.apk before pushing the new one over, otherwise you will get fc's like crazy!
lib:
(you may not need this, but it shouldnt hurt anything (backup instructions below) and if the keyboard doesnt work, then definitely try pushing it)
http://www.mediafire.com/?awy84cz5t8ngx49
some have reported that for some reason or another this file downloads as a .txt (although it comes as a .so for me all the time) make sure you rename it, if need be, to libjni_latinime.so before going any further
you will need adb for this method (others have done it without a computer)
youll either want to be in recovery, with /system mounted, or remount it read-only while the phone is up (need s-off for this, thanks unrevoked!)
then push the two downloaded files to your phone: (in some roms it is called GoogleLatinIme.apk, so use that instead of LatinIME.apk if thats how your rom is)
Code:
adb push d2keyboard-signed-fixed4.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
choose your input method like always, and enjoy the multi-touch keyboard on froyo
ok, the screenshots really dont mean much, anyone can use gimp, but w/e thought id put them up there anyway

I can't push the .so file to my phone, the keyboard fc's on me when I try to select it in the input method section, so I thought i would try pushing the lib, but it keeps saying the directory doesn't exist.
this is exactly what i type
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
cannot stat: 'libjni_latinime.so' no such file or directory

It downloaded for me as a. Txt extension. I had to change it to .so - check to see if that happened to you

[ROM](Working Update.zip) -> Defy Update.zip Cookie Cutter Rom

Defy Froyo 3.4.2 Cookie Cutter Rom​
Q. How Do I use the Update.zip?
A. Go to Market & Download Defy SD-Recovery & Install..
1. Next place the Update.zip on the /sdcard via PC
2. Turn on MoTo Phone Portal ( SD-Recovery is SD Based so you need to Turn Off USB Mass Storage )
3. ADB Debugging does not have to be Turned Off on my version
Once Booted into the Recovery apply the update.zip
wait a few minutes & it should be done...
Please Reads the notes I left in the Update.zip if you build a Custom Update.zip, this will save you trouble down the road.
What's Flashed?
A. Boot.img
B. dev_tree
C. Moto Blur 3.4.2 Rom ( Yes I know it's not the latest, built off what I had )
D. UNO & TMO-TV Removed
E. Rooted ( SU & Superuser )
F. Busybox Installed to xbin
G. Rest of Rom is stock
Once installed, remove eugene.apk from /system/app ( Old boot strap that need adb turned off before rebooting / defy sd-recovery does not have this issue)
Q. I Edited the update.zip & Now it fails verf. in recovery when trying to flash!
A. example of signapk on signing the edited update
java -Xmx1024m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update1.zip update.zip

Hey eugene,
Glad to see you working on Defy too
I think this will be major help for developers and btw that 3.4.2 version did you used? since there are many of them.
Thanks.

um. 107 I think since it has a floating update.zip someplace & sbf.
Ill update to the latest when I start building roms

i don't understand. is the boot.img still the signed cg35.smg?
if so, can't we just use the cmw to do that?
can you post more detailed chages you made over cmw?
other than the signapk and usb debugging described.
many thanks.

Same here, i'm pretty interested in more details, thank you

this Zip File is for what ?
Thanks
Greetings

you can not use cwm due encryption. If you dont know what an update.zip is stick to nandroid...
This is for rom builders.
Heading out, when I get home ill make it clearer.
Though, now that I think about it cwm might be fine due to the nature of how it works.
Ill test later and let everyone know

So we are able to install updates via the "normal" Motorola Recovery mode? So we are able to get a "unbrickable" Defy?
Edit: got it myself. The ZIP File won't be recognized by the motorola recovery... anyway thanks for your job

Now, what can SD-recovery do? Can it write other partitions, like cdt.bin?

CwM can do exactly the same afaik, i've already made quite a few update.zip with it.
after reading all your notes, do you actually mean that we can't use format on those patitions?
if you do, well, i learned it the hard way, and delete_recursive also works for me.
thanks for putting up an excellent example if not for anything else, it's much needed.

Correct, you can only format with the stock recovery ( Hence the reason why I used the Stock Recovery ) any Partition with cwm recovery will cause a non-booting system..
regarding cwm I've not tested it, so Likely it will work.. Steven is still working on the cwm recovery & there is no point in me adding another cwm bootstrap recovery... Mine is just pure stock & works perfect.
I'm still weeding through the /bin /etc file's to find exactly what needs left...
but main goal was to provide an example of what is needed to make an update.zip with out breaking the system.

what exactly is the benefit of this new method?

um? Your joking right!
Update versus a nandroid, I would have thought it was a no brainier....
Build & edit roms on the fly + being able to flash boot.img & downgrading is fine without sbf unless you screw up completely..

no problem, wasn't sure if you was being a smart-ass or honestly didn't know...
either way, sorry If I offended you.

I didn't understand yet . I can or not apply the update file using stock recovery?
EDIT: forget I understood now.
