Installing desire apps on samsung galaxy?

Hi,
I have an HTC desire and a samsung galaxy. I found that there are many applications in the desire that are not available on the Galaxy i9000 like the calendar , the clock widget, the people widgit and there are no arabic characters in stalled for the browser. Can someone please tell me how to install those manually without having to flash an entire custom ROM? I already rooted the device and I have android SDK
Thank you,

same question?
how can we get the apk files (if any) from one rom to another

Use adb pull command to extract .apk files from a Rom ur using, or from an ruu .exe file you need to Google how to extract update.zip from it, then look in system/app or data/app in update.zip.
If you find apks with corresponding .odex or .dex (cant remember which it is), you will also have to research odexing/deodexing.

One more thing... I think the HTC stuff might also need specific other stuff (libraries... whatever the hell they are)... worth a try though, have a play.

Netflix for Android Workaround for mytouch

I found this on the http://techland.time.com/
So i dont take credit for this so i posted the whole page please in joy.
Unless you own one of the five phones that support Netflix's new Android app, Thursday's announcement was worthless.
But thanks to some clever folks on Reddit, Netflix's petty device restrictions needn't apply. With a rooted Android smartphone, you can trick Netflix into thinking your device is approved for streaming video. It's not a perfect fix -- some users can't get it to work -- but it'll do until Netflix officially brings its app to more Android phones.
The first thing you'll want to do is root your phone. You can look up instructions for specific devices at xda-developers, but keep in mind that rooting is not supported by warranty and could turn the phone into a paperweight.
Still with us? Now, follow the instructions, as posted on Reddit:
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)
2) In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
3) Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
4) Open & edit /system/build.prop
5) Change the following lines to make your phone think it is an HTC G2:
--ro.product.model=HTC Vision
--ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
OR
--ro.product.model=Nexus S
--ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
6) Reboot the phone
7) Install the netflix apk (if you haven't already)
Enjoy
I haven't tried this myself, as my only Android device is a Droid Incredible, which doesn't require extra hoop-jumping. Obviously, you work around Netflix's obstacles at your own risk, but the ability to tinker is one of the reasons you got an Android phone in the first place, right?

Interesting, I've tried searching for the netflix app but couldn't find it on glacier. The author seemed to think you could download it first then do the process. Have you used this method and tried to find the app after changing the build.prop?

The download link for the app is in blue in step 7 of the link.

There are a couple threads already in our themes and apps section...but I'm on Virtuous Fusion and I've tried the HTC Vision build.prop method a few times and it hasn't worked for me...
Edit: Before and after changing the build.prop stuff I would get audio with a white screen

I'm on Royal Panache and was able to get sound but no picture with the HTC Vision model.

Ditto, exact same situation, exact same rom, sound but only white screen. Just confirming its not just your phone.

I edited the build.prop and used the Nexus S, Samsung build (reboot), but on mine I only get a black screen, audio is working for about 5 to 8 seconds, then it goes back to the movie list.. no FC message... I was thinking maybe this is because I'm using a custom kernel + custom ROM? Are you guys using the stock kernel?... I also have a HTC G2 (supposedly supported), but on that phone I only get an audio and white screen...

W000T redditors to the rescue!!

i was using the royal ginger. Also evil-d just update his rom to work for it.

I just download evil d ROM and it works but use this .apk http://db.tt/vvGJdDU

Were u using royal Ginger 2.0 or 1.6?
MT4G + CM7 + Faux's BFS LV kernel

2.0 but the official app won't work. You have to us the mod app I posted above.

Can the netflix.apk be modded itself?
inside the apk, there's a folder called "lib" and inside lib, there's a folder called "armeabi"
which lists
libnetflix_device1.so
libnetflix_device2.so
libnetflix_device3.so
libnetflix_device4.so
libnetflix_device5.so
libnetflixmp_jni.so
can a device6.so be added to the apk to add the mytouch?
or maybe one of the given, be edited?

noob

All good an well but i don't see how this is supposed to be related to dev?
Should have been in Themes and Apps so reported.

If we all submit our sensations then they should make it a supported device - http://init2winitapps.com/submit_device.html

Oh well, for a newbie, those qustions were hard to answer about your phone if compatible . Can i just ask if HTC HD2 works with this app?
oops sorry wrong section,

I just submitted the request for the sensation and they sent me an email that said. "Hi
Thank you for submitting your device on the website we are ready to begin testing on the sensation to add official support for your device please add me on gtalk and we'll get testing my gtalk is [email protected] and I look forward to hearing from you and testing the HTC Sensation.

Are you testing this now?If not, i can give you the variables,but the new version should detect pyramid.And if you are or have been testing which roms did you manage to get going?

I would love this

IMPORTANT:if your custom rom has su v.3,disable log files in settings ,otherwise you'll run into permission problems,su v.2+ fine.Do the same in any rom you might run off sd.
in "what device do you have" put pyramid
"what is your sdcard block" put mmcblk1p1
"what is you system's size in mb" put 787.4
"what is your data size in mb" 1126
"what is your cache's size in mb" 116.2
these are the same for Z710e as well as the 4g
make the boot manager phone backup,it's an update.zip which you can flash from recovery should things go horribly wrong,have a nandroid backup and a copy of your custom rom on your sdcard(just to be absolutely safe) and keep your battery topped up.

There is a BM forum now

This app works fine with sensation. Running three different roms. My suggestion is to install ROM's with EXT2 not EXT4. had problems with EXT4. Nice job!

I have some problem during edit boot.img..at least do..
Can you say what rom works from sd..??
Can you upload the version of BootManager do you use..??

Anyone using this now, think sensation is fully supported now.

I used it while Testing ICS so i could still use wifi calling on GB Rom(Low service at my home), But since its running of a SD Card even tho i got a Class10 always seemed to be laggy and slow. I have not ran it since the new firmware witch has greatly helped my SD card speeds so it may have gotten better. I own the app so i will test it out again and report back. PS i Do remember that when i did use it almost every day(GB 2.3.4) when i installed rom's not everything would install(SU, WIFI Calling, ect) A restore Backup always seemed to work better for me then a Fresh install from a .zip. But i will test again and report back.

This thing works. But plenty of things that could be fixed (and better instructions).
It's my first paid app and I think it's pretty good (when it works...). Have to find which roms work. I think right now, only nandroid backups work.

It worked fine for me with every GB rom I used. I even tried all (first generation) ICS roms. It's been time that I had 3-4 roms installed to choose. No problems.
I think I cannot use ICS as system rom yet. Did they fix it?

Hey
Hey guys, i cant seem to get this boot manager to work on my sensation.

Hello everyone, I tried to use the boot manager, but every rom install in the slot does not start, and I am going bootloop the phone, each time forcing me to install the "update.zip" backup to turn on the phone with the rom of nand. I tried following the guide from their website but nothing, what should I do to make this program?

I only ask b/c I noticed when I go to Market, it believes I have a Sensation XE after I downloaded Revolution. Is there way to make Market think I have a Nexus S or SII or something like that?

You have to be rooted to do this.
open your build.prop file (in system) and look for..
ro.product.model=(Insert new device name here) -- I found this entry twice on my Sensation (ARHD 4.1.7)
ro.product.manufacture=(insert the manufacture's name)
If you choose a phone model compatible with the app then you should be able to download it.
Make sure you make a nandroid back up!

Unfortunatley, I do not see /system folder under ES File Manager. I'm running the latest version of Revolution.

Use Root Explorer (Easiest), Terminal (with VI, only if you know VI though), Notepad++ (on a PC)..

Keep looking, it should be there somewhere.
And I used ES note editor

Thanks, I was able to make the changes and save it, but I'm not sure if it worked. I could not see We Rule in Android Market.
However...on Market when I go on it with my computer, it says "this app is not compatible with your TMobile Samsung Nexus S"

So you can download it?

No, I cannot download it. Not sure why b/c I was able to when I did have a Nexus S. On a side note, before the market was more developed, I was able to download We Rule from teh market but after signing in and loading, I would get a message saying the game was incompatible with my phone. I'm wondering if it's because we do not have a device w/ Tegra 2?

Did it say why it was incompatible? you need to press the small + icon when you are browsing the market on your computer.

"We Rule is currently not available on your device. We're working hard to make the game accessible to everyone. Please check back soon, and try other Mobage games in the meantime."
The + button says "T-Mobile HTC HTC Sensation 4G
This item is not compatible with your device."

Bummer.
We Rule was updated today and still does not work for the HTC Sensation.

[Q] Removing battery icon Android 2.3.3

Hi!
I have searched the forums for information to remove the battery icon from the taskbar and tried several things without success. Is there a way to remove it?
I use:
HTC Desire S
Android 2.3.3/Sense 2.1 (Stock ROM)
Android SDK
Does anyone know what files to modify to remove the icon, not using a custom ROM?
Thanks!

Firstly you should let us know if you have root. Also someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think its possible on stock rom

I was thinking about XML editing as well but i yet dont know what parameters to edit. Inside the system-ui/res/layout i've found several files that seem to be associated with the status bar. They're all XML documents, 7 of them containing the word "status".
