Great news for 2.2 users with bloatware!

For everyone who was weary to remove the bloatware on their 2.2 install throught ADB:
I have just received an email from Joel Bourquard, dev on TiB, and he's just sent me a test version of an updated TiB that works on our phones with the 2.2 update. I have it to give out to those who want it and told me to expect it in the market for download soon.
Edit: Totally just realized I got click happy and placed this in the Dev section. If a mod could move it to Apps and Themes that'd be great. Or if it stays here, I don't know
Edit2: Here is the link for the updated test version: link removed, available in market

Was there word on if the current donate code will work on the updated version? I will test this out as well if you want to pm it or send a link. Thanks.

Donate keys work for all versions of TiB, once you have one, there is no need to get another one. I edited my OP to contain the download link.

Thanks. I'm a donor. Just a little weirded out that he isn't sharing it himself and I downloading it through a third party.

I promise you that is the link from the email. I can post the transcript if you would like. Also, www.matrixrewriter.com is Joel's site if you would like to go visit for yourself.

Works Perfectly. Thanks!

Of course it does! Joel is probably one of the best devs in the Android community

I am digging the blue outline of apps that were frozen. I don't remember seeing that in the previous version. I am confirming I have this working as well. Thanks for posting!

Works like a charm. Thanks for sharing!

+1 It is back to working awesome!!! I will def be donating to this guy very soon. One of the best apps out there.

Oh no worries. Thanks for this, really.

super awesome! thanks so much for this

Don't thank me! I didn't write the app, I just sent him the required info from our phone. You guys should be thanking Joel by donating! He's a great guy and an even better dev, and definitely has one of the best apps in the market.

Its not a zip file. Its an apk file. If it appears as a zip file after download change the file extension back to apk.

I'm just going to go ahead and say it then, you did it wrong. What size file is your settings.DB file? If its anything less then 34kb then you did the mod wrong.

Google Books apk for honeycomb

Could a nice person from the US pull the Google books apk and upload it for us guys across the pond?

Bah you're making us Brits look bad and incapable of using google.

I dont really like getting apks off random sites what with malware etc, and could only find the mobile version on xda. Thanks I'll try this though.
Hmm that website wouldn't work for me anyway.

try either of these:
http://db.tt/f4CwLhq

I tested it before I posted but I get your point.

stuntdouble - yeh I trust you so went to download it but the website kept giving me some rubbish about already downloading a file or something, thanks though
Dufran3 - thanks but doesn't seem to be the correct version? Its displaying like the mobile version on my tablet, I was after landscape 2-page reading with nice renderscript animation, unless I'm missing a setting somewhere..?
Ill try and download the one stuntdouble posted again and give that a go

That is the Phone version of google books.
I was under the impression that the only tablet version of Google books was the one on the Xoom and that the apk on the Xoom was odexed. Additionally the odexing on the Xoom uses an opcode that [bak]smali currently can't handle (hence can't odex)
If the US transformer comes with Google books I'd be interested to see it. But I didn't think it did. If it does, does it also come with Android Movie Studio? Because I really want to play with that.

If you go the development section of this forum there's a ROM called PRIME! v1.2 that includes the tablet version of Google books from the stock US transformer ROM. You could just flash that ROM or unzip the ROM and push or copy system/app/BooksTablet.apk to your transformer.

Ah good idea. I'll give that a go and if it works ok will upload it and post here
Thanks
Edit - here is the apk for anyone else who wants it, I just copied it to /system/app with root explorer but you can push with adb as well. Really nice app I hope they expand the Google Books service to Europe soon.

Thank you, I don't know what was different about your .apk, but it worked. I had a different copy of the tablet apk but it always said "application not installed" when I tried to install it. I have the Acer A500 but I deleted the app and when I wanted it back I had all kinds of problems finding it.

Valhalla-BlackEdition Q & A

This is a Q&A for Raver’s Valhalla-BlackEdition thread.
Rules I would like to see followed:
- If you quote there is no need to quote the entire post – quote the part of the post you are responding to. Delete the rest.
- THEME RELATED QUESTIONS (i.e. icons/wallpapers) belong in the theme and apps sub forum: THEME AND APPS
- If somebody asks lazy questions, just IGNORE THEM! They will eventually get the HINT! MarkP80nj Quote: "If no one answers you, maybe try learning how to do it yourself."
- And Hit the THANKS button if somebody helps you! It is the least we can do!
Help keep this thread at the top so Noobs will see and stay out of the Dev forum!

Raver's Clarification:
RaverX3X said:
let me clarify this after you install the rom do not change the mount to ummu It only applys to install (made moot after the new installer and i fixed the mount errror issue with the installer cwm.
What it looks like people are doing and why its soft bricking is after install you unmounting the system so when you boot you soft brick because the kernel cannot mount system... Because YOU UNMOUNTED IT.....

What was the font in rc2? ----> sony style
How i can get the blue eye (or any other) wallpaper again?
Which ROM was it in? Do you still have the .zip?
- Pull the system/app/Launcher.apk
- Unzip it. Yes, apk is a zip file.
- Look in res/drawable-hdpi folder.
Does the final.zip have a shutdown animation?
- In the Final.zip file in \system\media\video\shutdown - the folder is empty.
- If you have the BlackEdition.zip file in \system\media\video\shutdown - shutdown.qmg is in the folder.
Add back the 'Audible touch tones', 'Audible selection', and 'Screen lock Sounds' that are not in the Vahlalla - Black Edition - Final-Fixed.zip.

Random Reboots Thread: Great method to fix problem - Thanks 95Z28!
You need Visual Voicemail for voicmail notifications: attached below
Stock Clock & Alarm (soft alarm): attached below. If you want to use the Smart Alarms I attached the sounds below also. You need to copy the sounds into /system/media/audio/ui.

Sounds good.

Great idea lumin. Will keep this towards the top for sure. Maybe we can have Raver post a link to this in the OP with something like "Any non-bug related questions NEED to be directed here." Not that anyone will read it but worth a shot.

I would love to see the thread locked and pointed here – as of writing this the thread is already 147 pages.
That would be a bad idea Unless i locked the thread it would mean i would have to make threads for every damm update it did sorry not going to do that... Trust me 147 pages isnt alot when u consider some roms get over 500+.
Not to say i dont know what your getting at.

Didn't realize the OP could not still edit the thread when locked... I obviously have never locked a thread before. Thanks for the clarification.
Removed that part from the original post.

Ahhh - link back up.

guilty!
I like this idea, sadly we might not get to see it in action. I'm pretty new here, and as such, just like anywhere else I go when I'm unfamiliar with my surroundings, it takes a bit to get acclimated to my surroundings. This goes for anyone, anywhere. I asked for a font in the development thread, and I did this after a PM to the dev with the simple question "thanks, nice rom, what was the font in rc2?" No response, I'm sure he's busy. No big deal, so I asked in the dev forum thinking that a change such as this could be easily answered in the forum about the development (read: continual change) thread. It was simple, but people who were running other, more current versions than what I requested were answering me, when all I needed was an answer from someone who knew the answer.
The longstanding members are just as guilty in this forum for messing up threads with "nice work" that have less to do with development than "my DSP force closes but I'm new and don't know how to run a logcat, be sure not to help me and tell me to search everyone thanks."
I'd go back and delete all my non-development related posts but it doesn't seem that I can, if it's possible, tell me how and I will. I'd be happy to delete all 13 of my posts in the name of cleaning up the forum. My solution, in addition to the thoughts by lumin laid out above would be for a forum moderator to delete posts as they get out of hand. I don't know if that's possible, but that's my best suggestion.
It would really help us new people if the sticky threads in this SGS forum were up to date, as well. The bible is dated, I spent the better part of 3 weeks reading and searching before I was comfortable enough to flash a ROM.
That's my 2 cents, and again, I'm pretty new. Sometimes new perspective can indicate that new tricks are needed by old dogs.

sony style was used sorry.... Sometimes i am slow about getting back to people doesnt mean i dont read posts or pm's

Thank you, JuLes did end up getting me to the right answer. I am guessing you have an inbox that full of questions that would make no one jealous. Ha. Thanks again.

At the end of the day we can only try to improve the forum and move forward....
I think the consensus is just that - improve and keep going!

I flashed this rom twice and twice got a blank black screen after rebooted. What did I do wrong?

@ tonie972 : Give us more info. What were you on before? Did you read and follow the OP? How did you flash?
EDIT: Why are most of your other posts in the Vibrant section? Do you have a SGS4G?

I was on GB 2.3.6 or the latest one. I did follow the OP but I skipped step 2 because I read it wasn't necessary and I don't know what UMMU is.
I placed the file on my SD and reboot recovery from CWM and flashed it.
I have a Vibrant and just recently acquired this phone from my sister.
Please let me know if you need any more info and thank you for your patience.

I did this same thing once by accident. Not sure if *all* of this was necessary, but here's what I did to fix it:
Took my SD card out of my phone and placed the custom ROM (Valhalla Black in my case) from the Valhalla Black thread AND the Busybox Installer zip from this thread onto the root directory.
Entered download mode (volume up and down + plug in USB cable) at STEP 6 of this thread. Why from step 6? Because steps 1-5 refer to the transfer from Froyo to GB (bootloaders) and you are already on GB.
At step 8b you will be stock with KJ6 and CWM Recovery. You can then continue with the steps to install the ROM of your choice in step 11.
So now you're going to be following instructions from the Valhalla Black thread, BUT be careful because you need to install busybox before you completely reboot out of recovery to complete the steps in the GB starter pack thread! Flash ROM in CWM, then flash Busybox in CWM.
Do not skip any steps! As for the mounts question, when you are in CWM Recovery go to >Mounts and Storage and make sure that the mounts read "unmount, mount, mount, unmount" for the first 4 options.
Good luck, hope this helps!

Requesting S3 Alarm Clock APK

After rooting my S3, I got a little over zealous uninstalling all the bloatware. As such, I mistakenly deleted the alarm clock (ya know, the one that works with S Voice). Does anyone have the apk for the stock touchwiz alarm clock? The only downloads I can find are modded versions ported for other phones.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to download a stock rom and search the zip. Normally they are located in the \system\app directory. Make sure you match permissions with other system apps.

Hi there, this is how i fixed my alarm problem
firstly download the clock apk relavent to your phone, i think that there are 3 different ones provided in this thread.
Secondly you need to download something from the play store called "Rom toolbox pro" its £3 but if you ask in the forums here someone can probably point you to a free one that does the same thing.
make sure your phone is rooted, install and run Rom toolbox pro. click on Root Browser, navigate to where you put the APK on your phone, copy and move it to root/system/app. Once you have moved the apk find it in the app folder, click and hold it for a couple of seconds. A menu should popup with options, click on "permissions" set them so they are like this. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2pphiyo&s=6 If you are using a different app you will need to set your permissions accordingly, yet again im sure there is someone on here clever enough to help with that.
Now just restart your phone, the APK will run on boot.
These are the exact steps i followed and they worked for me. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2h353dl&s=6
I hope you have the same luck

full control of multiscreen apps?

i bought a note 2 few days ago, and flashed omega's rom. i was extremely excited to found this thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953705
we can enable any apps for multiscreen viewing with this awesome app
do we have chance to port this thing to our note 10.1?
sorry for my bad english

I don't exactly remember on what thread I found this, but if you have jellybean (4.1) on your note 10.1, then you can download and install the apks there have here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=1985240 to make them compatible with multiview.
They recommend backing up the version of the app you have now using Titanium backup, then uninstalling it, and then installing the apk from the link.

yup i saw that post earlier, but with this noobs like me only can install apps that have been "edited"(i dont know what that call) by them.
but with the note 2 thing, we can create ourselves easily

They explain how to make your own applications work with multiview, it's not too difficult.
I agree that easier is better, but if you really want/need an app to work with multiview, it might be worth giving their method a try .

I hope I can figure it out. Thanks
