I would like to change the gTask widget skin on Nexus.
Can anybody tell me where the file ( i suppose its .png) is located?

Assuming you're talking about the gTasks Beta by SSI, they're in com.ssi.gtasksbeta.apk\res\drawable
These 5 .png's

Install gTasks on your phone. Plug your phone into your pc. Hopefully you have adb set up correctly. If not, there's plenty of threads on how to do so.
Code:
cd desktop
adb remount
adb pull /data/app/com.ssi.gtasksbeta.apk com.ssi.gtasksbeta.zip
Extract com.ssi.gtasksbeta.zip to own folder. Change your files. Zip back up to com.ssi.gtasksbeta.zip. Rename to com.ssi.gtasksbeta.apk. Resign with Stericsson's auto-sign tool. Uninstall previous version from your phone. Place your new version somewhere in /sdcard. Install via Astro or other FM. Your new app will not update from the market. You'll have to do this to every version you want to use.

Thank you veeeery much!!
This is the perfect way!
I love this ADB stuff, it works so easy, when you know how (am doing screenshots, to not forget )
Unzipped gtasksbeta on my PC..
Now I have to read about the auto signing thing, found lots of threads about that!
Thanks again!

[Q] Need Help with ROM..

i would like to take the stock ui off of my phone and i would like to know how to pull my system folder to my PC and create an update zip and sign it. bc i used nandroid backup but it says that i don''t have a sd card in my phone and skips the backup to my sd card. i have the htc hero and the 2.1 update

Is your phone rooted? Did you install Google sdk on your pc? If so go to your command prompt. And CD to the folder that you installed sdk and go to the tool folder.
Do adb romount then adb pull system system once the system folder is pulled create a update zip. Do a search here on xda and you will find the signing zip and instructions can't post it replying from my phone.

still need help
i haven't used the command prompt for nothing on my phone so?? i don't know how to use the command prompt or what to type in on their. plz help

[Q] adb is not recognized as......

I rooted my hero on 2.1 before on a different computer a while back so im fairly familiar with this process. But i when i type in the file path for the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools and hit enter then type adb devices i get an error message that says
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I tried all the troubleshooting i can think of like
making sure its the right path to the tools final
making sure debugging is on
deleting the drivers
reinstalling htc sync
I dont know is this info is relevant but ill share it any way.
Im running windows xp
its an old work pc so idk if i have Admin rights(How do i check??)
If any of you can help thatd be much appreciated

Did u add tools directory to the PATH?

Hey bird, I had the same problem a few days ago. solution for me was, that adb is not located in the tools folder anymore. its located in another folder.I'm not in front of my pc right now.just check where in the windows sdk folder the adb.exe is located now.
Hope that helps you too.

if its the updated sdk you will have to update it. close and restart,and then reopen your run command and type in \platform\tools\. they changed the file path when they updated the new tools.

I'm too tired to read the whole thread right now, so someone has probably answered this, but here goes..
Previous versions of the Android SDK, adb was located in the tools folder, ie: if you installed the android SDK at C:\android-sdk-win, it would be c:\android-sdk-win\tools
The new release of the android sdk, adb has been moved, and is now located in the \platform-tools folder , ie; c:\android-sdk-win\platform-tools
much like the forums, file search is your friend sometimes
take care

Beginner's Guide to Installing the SDK and Getting Started with ADB

It looks like we may have some users that are new to rooting or to Android all together.
I posted these instructions in the perm root thread, but I figured putting them in their own thread would make it easier to find.
This is meant as a basic pre-cursor to following BCNice's perm root instructions.
I've added a link to TrueBlue_Drew's adb/fastboot guide here
If you use the method that I outline below just download his zip and extract the files to your desktop. Then move the fastboot file into your AndroidSDK\platform-tools sub directory. Thanks to Drew for putting together a great guide!
You will need fastboot installed to install BCNice20's recovery.img.
Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your computer HTCSync
First download the SDK here
Make sure to dowload the installer_r09-windows.exe
Now install the SDK when prompted for the install path paste C:\AndroidSDK over the default path
Once you have installed it open it from the start menu
Select install packages
The main one we are concerned with is "Platform Tools"
Go to the start menu and right click on My Computer in XP Computer in Windows 7.
Select properties, then select advanced/advanced system settings in Windows 7, then environment variables, now go to the lower box (system variables) and select path then edit.
Paste the following as your path C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools then select o.k.
Make sure you have temp root via Visionary or Z4.
On your phone go to Settings, Applications, Development, and make sure USB Debugging is checked.
Now connect your phone to your computer and leave the connection type as "charge only"
On your computer select Start, then run, type in CMD
Once in the Command Prompt enter
Code:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
The next line should pop up C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>
Now test adb by typing in
Code:
adb
If adb runs you are ready to start!
Type
Code:
adb shell
Then type
Code:
su
Allow Superuser on your phone
You are now in and ready to follow BCNice's directions

Here's some adb stuff that I found from the evo days that has linux, mac, and windows adb and some of the files it needs. I flashed the evo with it so it should work for the shift too. I used an all in one for the epic to root mine in windows. I just extracted the zip and ran adb inside it. I could have included that or instead but there were a lot more files in there pertaining to recovery, root exploits, and images of things I didn't know if they could safely be removed and still work or not. I used the mac version of the file in this package instead of running back and forth from win to mac. I purposely keep the win partition off the internet. Yeah, vmware works but sometimes it doesn't and I didn't want to risk anything when flashing a phone.
As usual, use at your own risk. It worked for me in the past so I don't see any reason why it won't work now. Make note of the adb program naming schemes because they aren't just "adb". I uploaded this because it was very useful to me in the past and I've always failed or got lost when trying to set up sdk per google's instructions. It's very stripped down so don't expect it to be as fully functional as the sdk would be.
If you want to do it the way I did then head over to the epic section and get the all in one root and recovery in the dev section, unzip it, then use the adb.exe inside. Don't use any bat files or scripts in there, you might brick the phone.

As a Win7 64bit user, I had the additional steps of downloading and installing HTC Sync so that Win7 would install the proper drivers for my phone before I could use adb shell to access my shift.

Yes, of course, how could I forget that? You definitely need drivers for windows.

Anybody care to link me to a good guide for Linux mint/Ubuntu 64 bit?
I've done it on 32, but I can't find good resources for 64.

I used adbwireless and it worked first shot!
Time to work on some roms...;-)

So is there like a video review or a picture review of this. I am trying to do the steps, but the process is different from your steps. I have tried this on xp and windows 7

When I get to this step
"On your computer select Start, then run, type in CMD
Once in the Command Prompt enter cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
The next line should pop up C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>
Now test adb by typing in adb"
It tells me "The system cannot find the path specified"
Can anyone help me.
all of my drivers are installed for my phone.

You need to locate the SDK and rename it. It should be on your C drive in the program files folder and the android sub folder.
Once you have located the folder I believe is named android-sdk-windows right click on it and rename it to AndroidSDK.
Then open up a new window in My Computer on Windows XP or Computer on Windows 7.
Open the C drive and then drag the renamed AndroidSDK file over to the root of the C drive.(not in any folder)

Ok. I deleted everything and I am going to try over.

OK.. When I'm first trying to install it do I install it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows. That is the defualt place it wants me to install it to. (I am on Windows 7)

I've updated the original post with some more specific instructions for Windows 7.
I had to reboot my computer before I could move the SDK to the C drive and rename it.
The first time I entered the command prompt adb wouldn't work, but I closed it out and the second time it worked flawlessly.

Ok thanks BrandoKc. Coming from windows mobile it would of tooken me a while to figure this adb stuff I out. I have a question??? I just finished rooting... if I hard reset does this break the root???

That will work! Once installed there and updated rename it to AndroidSDK and move it to the root of the C drive. You may need to reboot your computer before it allows you to edit the folder.

By hard reset I assume you mean factory reset. It may but you can re root if it does.
I'm glad to have helped. I know when I rooted my Hero I nearly shatted a bricked Hero.

UGH! Now my SDK manager is not working. It pops up then goes away and I can keep it up. This is happening on this step "Once you have installed it open it from the start menu". I'm probably going to wait until the morning or somebody makes a video on how to do this because I'm getting frustrated.

Lol. As from my language... You can tell I come from windows mobile, in those forums we refered a factory reset as a hard reset and a soft reset as a battery pull

Once we have a recovery you will definitely be able to wipe/hard reset/factory reset without losing root.
I would imagine at this point you should be able to without losing root also.
Left WinMo when the G1 came out and haven't looked back. Enjoy Android!

[Q] Rooting Inspire 4G on Macbook Pro

I have read like 15 different ways to root, S-off, and install custom ROM's on my phone, but i have a few questions.
To install a custom ROM, do i need to root my phone first?
I have read so many Root directions and i dont know which one to use, and idk how to make a goldcard on my mac, does anyone know a specific one that they have experience with.
I cannot find the CID number of my SD card and that is ruining my whole root experience.
please, do not treat me as rudely as people have before because of "stupid questions"..and dont refer me to videos because ive watched them all and have had no success.

Yes, you do need to root your phone before you can install a custom ROM, as for the other questions I can't answer them since I don't have any experience with the Inspire 4G. If you only have access to a mac and the tools are windows-oriented you could try running a windows OS in a VM (virtual machine)

oh, and another question, do you have to have a goldcard to to the root?

I have a Mac and I followed the instructions here to make my gold card
http://www.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/htc-desire-creating-goldcard-using-mac-or-linux/

i tried to use this already before, but i cant find the CID number on my SD card and i downloaded astro file manager and everything. i have a samsung 8GB SD card.

with the sd card in the phone and the phone plugged into your mac, in disk drive mode do this at a command prompt
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
from your android sdk tools directory that should give CID

i appreciate all the help! im trying it now!

as i am new to this, how can i access adb? i cant find it anywhere in any folder i have...fml, i sound so stupid prob but hey, we're all beginners sometimes.

ok open a command prompt in the directory the hack kit is located
then type adb then the command

how do you open a command prompt in the directory. do i just go t the terminal application and type in adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
because i tried that in the terminal emulator on my phone and it says access denied

Open terminal on the Mac. Drag the advanced program to that window. Then type the rest of the command
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

what is the advanced program? im so sorry im asking stupid questions.

and another thing, should i place the hack kit on my phone's sd card?

Adb. Program. Stupid autocorrect. Btw have you read the hack kit readme?

Create a folder on your desktop called "Inspire". Extract all of the files within the hack kit to this folder on your computer, not your SD card. Drag this folder to the terminal, hit Return. Now follow the instructions in the Linux/OSX readme (it will be one of the files you extracted)

i read the readme, and i guess things didnt make sense to me. im backing up my sd card again just for sure, then im going format it and try to get the CID number. i tested dragging the adb program into the terminal window and everything worked, but i didnt have my phone plugged it.

i dragged the adb command into terminal and typed in the command: adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
and i got the response: adb, no such file or directory. i just cant make the goldcard. wtf, i cant get the CID number, i mean really. i downloaded ace hack kit v9, and the sdk thing.
also, i just got the platform-tools folder for the sdk, so i will try the things in the folder.
