Clear Genie Widget for evo

is one around i had it on my hero not sure if it would work

I still have my clear W. widget from my hero, and it does install but it shows the regular one. There must be a tweak in the EVO OS to allow the transparency.

adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/GenieWidget.apk
exit
adb push /path/to/GenieWidgetClear.apk /system/app/

Then go to /system/app using root explorer or something and click on the apk to install it...at least what's how I do it. Then I remove it from /system/app...

That worked, thanks
For those following this, you need to rename the download apk from GenieWidgetClear to GenieWidget. If you dont do that before pushing it, it wont work.

You're welcome...I didn't have to rename it though, but as long as it works, that's all that matters.

On a side note, how does someone with such a signature...NOT use ANY punctuation?...

Does anyone have one with 25% transparency? 100% is fouling my mojo.

What does this do? Screenshots?
EDIT: Never mind. Thanks for this!
NOTE: I don't have an original geniewidget.apk in /system/app

Thanks will give it a shot once i get home.

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but does anyone have one that is compatible with froyo? This one always crashes.

Here is from the leaked Vibrants 2.2 build never tested it.

Doesn't look promising since searching on the forums here comes up empty handed on any other phones getting a port of it. Closest music player I've found to it is power amp.

If you have root access on your phone, you can download a file manager that can access your phones root files, such as Root Explorer. With your file manager you go into /data and find your .apk and copy the file and paste it on your SD card and from there to your computer. Hope that's useful information to you.

android pc suite..google it. and download netdragon software..there is a SAVE APK in this software..thats all..it is better android pc suite..this is a must have

I think something like this should work even if the phone is not rooted.
enter at terminal on phone:
mkdir /sdcard/sysapps
cp /system/app /sdcard/sysapps
mkdir /sdcard/dataapp
cp /data/app /sdcard/dataapp
these should just copy the whole app folder to sdcard. I don't think it needs to be rooted because you are only reading the system, not writing to it.
this worked for me in the past to pull the build. Prop from the system of an unrooted phone.
if those don't work try this one
cp /system/app/*. apk /sdcard/sysapps

Try app monster backup everything that isn't protected. Then open sdcard/appmonster/backups/ copy all the apks from there.
If ur rooted cp /systems/apps/* should do the trick. Although another way would be to tar /system/apps/ to sdcard i use * coz i think those odex files are important too right?

Problem Changing System Background Image

Hi all.. Having a problem changing the system background on my daughters x10.. (The background you get behind all the system menus and apps like calculator and calendar etc..)
I did this on my Arc recently and it was a doddle - once I'd got the images cropped to the right size..
So here's what I did on the X10.
Copied the framework-res.apk to the SD card
Opened it using 7zip
navigated to res\drawable-hdpi
replaced the semc_bg and semc_general_bg images with the new ones I'd created.
then navigated to res\drawable-land-hdpi and replaced the semc_bg image in there.
copied the file back into the system folder.
changed the permissions to rw-r--r--
copied it to framework folder...
phone reboots and then gets stuck at sony ericsson white logo screen...
reflashed using SEUS twice now!..
On the Arc I also had to amend the image files in another place.. SemcGenericUxpRes\res
but I don't seem to have that folder on the x10...
Thanks.

** BUMP ** Anyone?

What rom/firmware are you on?
How are you moving the framework-res?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

stock 2.1 unbranded.. moving it using root explorer.. which is what I did on my arc..
Sent from The Arc!

Try moving it using adb push. Or use adb mask controller or x10 mod tool if you like/need a gui. You could also make a zip for xrecovery if you have it installed. Root explorer method never worked for me on x10 either...

Thanks Might try ADB pushing it.. although if I knacker her phone up again she'll not be happy.. so I might just let her decide if she wants me to take the risk... haven't bought titanium for her phone cos I don't want to register MY card on HER phone... recipe for disaster!

adb should work just fine. Also have you installed recovery ? If no do it and take nandroid before doing it. It would go back to just like it was before.

Yea, xrecovery is super-easy to install & well worth it. Plus you (or one of us) could add the framework-res into a flashable zip we know will work.
BTW, there is a free version of titanium... &/or xrecovery will back up your entire phone as realunited said.

Thanks - Yeah - realised there was a free version after I posted - got it mixed up in my head with Root Explorer!.. yes - have xrecovery on there too.. is nandroid on the market? or is it part of xrecovery - not used it for a few months..
Cheers.

It just means using the backup option in xrecovery. There is a tut for making xrec zips in the dev section or post the framework-res here & I can look at it later when I get home.

Hi Aydee - Thanks for your help with this so far!!.. I've done a nandroid backup on the x10 and trying to ADB push the file - it won't let me - says "permission denied".. I tried ADB Remount and shell commands...
$ adb shell
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
both not giving me r/w access...
X10 is rooted and busybox installed....
What am I doing wrong?!
[edit - got the su working in shell.. and tried mtdblock2 also.. still won't let me push!]
[edit2 - unsecured the shell and mounted as rw... still won't let me push!!.. saying permission denied!]

To be honest I havent used just straight up adb in a while other than zipaligning, I usually use x10 mod tool or xrecovery zips lately. They have been a reliable and quick. So my manual commands are rusty at best.. Would you want to try one of the other ways maybe? Or I'm sure someone else will know why push isnt working...
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

Thanks Aydee tried x10 mod tool last night - was getting the same error - seems the phone isn't properly unsecured... will try a few different things later.. if anyone else has other ideas.. I'd appreciate it!

Could you post a copy of the apk? You are on .435 right?

It looks like it didn't get the su permission. Check your phone after typing su. If you want i can make a zip to flash.

Hi - Yeah it got the SU ok.. don't really know why it wasn't working - Think it may be to do with the way I was using ADB push - I was trying to push the file directly into the system or framework folders.. x10 mod tool pushed it to a "SD" folder first then ran another shell command to replace it in the framework folder.. don't really know enough about it !!.. anyway.. got it working via x10modtool.. just need to figure out how to do the same now for the phone and phonebook.. presume it's a PNG within those individual apps?
When making a ZIP.. does it need to be a complete system image or can you just zip the framework-res file on it's own and zip that via xrecovery?
Cheers!

Just drag the framework-res.apk into the framework folder without extracting it. After that just flash it.

so presumably I would need to either ADB pull the whole FRAMEWORK folder first? or take a copy using a file manager (AKA root explorer etc)..?

A word of advice: NEVER delete system applications, instead just freeze them. You never know when you may need them or want them back, and if you delete something (case in point here) that you want back, then you're asking for possible unwanted issues...

Try doing "adb install com.motorola.PerformanceManager.apk" or copy it to SD card and then use some file manager.

He should have no problem downloading the file and placing on root of the /sdcard and install like any other .apk (unless he's deleted his file manager also!).

Set the right permissions otherwise even after placing app into system it will not work.

For reference, my Performance Manager's location is /system/app/PerformanceManager.apk and the permissions are rw-r--r-- which is chmod 644

Easiest way is to download the file to your computer, then connect your phone in usb mass storage mode to your computer, copy the .apk file you downloaded to your sdcard (which might show up as D: or E: in your PC), disconnect phone from computer, on phone use the "Files" file manager, go to "sd card", locate the .apk and tap on it to install. (Unknown sources should be ticked in your Settings > Applications)

Delete previous performance Manager that you have copied to system/app folder
Extract the attachment then copy both files to system/app without renaming or modifying them
Now to set the permission press and hold both files one after other for 3 seconds a window will appear in that select permission .
Now set permission as I have attached a Image.

People please help me I copied the apk and odex file and I have set the permissions but its not helping

For future reference just copying files to system/app never works. You ALWAYS have to push them with adb. Do you have adb set up on your computer?

If you must use root explorer, you need to copy the files first to the /system folder, and change the permissions to rw-r--r--.. Then "multi-select" both files and "MOVE" (do not copy) them to the /system/app folder, then reboot immediately. If you can go into recovery mode (with bootstrap or cwm on boot feature), then wipe dalvik and cache partition - if not, it may act up.. and it may not.. I have done this countless times with no issues (unless I was sloppy and forgot to rename or change permissions).
It's not the best method - farshad525hou is right, adb is cleaner.. but it can/does work

Yea, I know some folks are opposed to it and/or can't get it to work properly, but I've doing it for quite some time and never ran into a problem - unless I don't do something right. But, come to think of it, I am usually overwriting old files when pushing with root explorer, not placing new ones - I wonder if that may have something to do with it..?
But, I am all for adb - it's an excellent tool that everyone who wants to mod needs to get familiar with.
I suppose we are getting off topic, but this would make a good discussion thread somewhere...
EDIT: just checked, I guess I'm not alone after all!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412729 - the key steps are to set permissions (which can't be done on the sdcard) and MOVE to /system/app (or where ever)

Just do adb install xx.xx.xx.apk there is no need to remount (or odex file). What is the error message do you get when you tried adb install? If it says already installed, then go to settings -> applications -> all and uninstall the same, and try adb install again.
