I have been "trying" to use my infuse as an alarm... and it usually works
but for instance this morning, i don't know if it didn't go off or i slept through it
Is that possible that it might have not gone off? i set 2 of them and set it to daily. Anythoughts?
Alternate option, if you are on a rooted/custom ROM:
1. Get the clock app from a different ROM, say Infused 2.2.3.
2. Copy it to your SD card
3. Rename the clock.apk from your /system/app folder to say clock.bak
4. Copy the clock.apk from step 1 to /system/app folder
5. Reboot

Yes please... You could use other root file managers too, but I prefer root explorer.
I use alarm clock extreme free, it's never failed me.

Ditto. Works great and wont let me sleep it off. The math solving drives me nuts and wakes me up pronto.

Hey guys
I just wanted to share with you something that the wonderful CrushD made for me/us
I take no credit, all i did was request that he do it for us, and he generously did
To install:
You can use Root Explorer to rename the original SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk in system/apps to SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk.bak. Then, just copy and paste the new version into that same folder, and you are set
Without any further a-do: This weatherbug Clock modification looks the same as the default TouchWiz clock, except when you click the clock itself, it sends you to the ClockPackage (where your alarm and such are! ). if you want to go to the weatherbug app itself, either use the bottom icon on the ticker , or click the "weatherbug" text at the bottom of widget itself

The apk wont install for me is there something I'm doing wrong. I downloaded the apk and I start to install it through the sd card but it fails do I have to delete the stock apk?

Yeah, I should have put this in the thread... It won't install normally, so all you have to do is use root explorer (or even adb if you don't have that) to rename the original In system/app then copy this one in, and your set
If you need the adb commands, just ask I'll upload a quick tutorial into the original post

Just finished applying the Weatherbug Clock Modification after installing the "3.30.11 Clean Continuum DL17".
Here's what I did:
-Get "Root Explorer" and install it on your phone (cost me $ but well worth it)
-Downloaded the file from the link above to your PC.
-Attached phone to PC, copy the downloaded file to SD card on the root
-Unmount SD card from PC. Unplugged cable from phone.
-Open Root Exploreron phone;
--click Mount R/W, click system, click app, long hold on SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk
--click rename, add .bak extension to the file, clicked ok
--scroll back to top, click Parent Folder, click Parent Folder again
--click sdcard, long hold on SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk. select copy
--drill back to /system/app, and select paste
-I restarted phone just for the heck of it. Now I tap the weather icon in the ticker and PRESTO! IT WORKS.
I'm not a Dev but I can follow directions. Maybe this can help someone else also. Just wanted to do my part to help.
disclaimer: You may not have to use or pay for "Root Explorer" to make this work. You might have something else that will do the same thing. Just make sure you have R/W access and the same capabilities.
Many thanks to CrushD for modifying the .apk file and trailblazer101 for help pushing the Mod out to US.
Glad it worked for you
if anyone would've asked I would've uploaded a quick free guide to do it, but no one asked I didn't want to type up the adb commands

Lol, Samsung Widget's are for Samsung Touchwiz Launchers only...
If you wanna know what it looks like, it looks exactly like the original
If you want help getting the launcher back after installing the Clean Rom, just ask
Well what are the differences, kinda new obviously. Can you get on the irc?
So, I just flashed the serendipity 7 ROM to my phone today, I love it. It's fast and doesn't drain the battery. Infused seem to drain the battery quickly.
Anyway, the power button to take a picture seemed to work this morning, now it doesn't. Is there some way to get it working again? I have installed lots of apps, but I don't think any of them mess with the camera. I installed the samsung quick office, music, clock and video player. (I downloaded the 4, not sure if I installed all of them.) I used the Android Sideload Wonder Machine, not sure if that is the source of the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.
The power button doesn't work to take pictures in S7. I remember reading this somewhere and can verify it didn't work for me after flashing S7. What I did to get it working is:
(FIRST, make a nandroid backup just in case!!)
1. Using your favorite file explorer (Root Explorer for me), go to the system/app folder on your phone
2. Mount the directory as R/W.
3. Rename the camera.apk in this folder to something like camera.apk.bak
4. Find a copy of the Infused v2 ROM, unzip it, go to system/app, and copy that camera.apk.
5. Go back to the system/app folder on your phone, make sure it's still mounted as R/W, and paste the Infused camera.apk into the directory.
6. Change the permissions on the camera.apk to match the permissions of the original camera.apk.
7. Next, mount the system/app folder on your phone as R/O.
8. You may have to delete and remake any shortcuts to the camera app you have on your home screens.
This worked for me and has worked perfectly all day, but I've only used it for a day. I won't swear that it won't mess something up in the future. I have taken approx. 10 photos since changing this with no problems, but you never know. Make a nandroid backup just in case, and save the camera.apk.bak in case it does FUBAR something.
PS: I wrote this as if you're a total noob. If you're not, I apologize. Wasn't trying to be condescending, just thorough. lol

How do I change the permissions?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
If you have root explorer just long press on the file. It should have an option for permissions. The folder that the app is in has to be mounted as R/W to be able to change the permissions. I don't know specifically how to do it in other file managers. If you don't have root explorer yet, it is definitely worth getting. It's the best file manager I've used.
The exact permissions you need to set are:
All 3 rows should have Read checked, only the "Owner" should have Write checked, and nobody should have Execute checked. Make sure the file is already pasted into the system/app folder before you try to change permissions.

Hi all.
I'm, currently on ICBINB kI3 1.5 which came with the default launcher Touch Wiz.
I use launcher pro plus as my default launcher.
My question is will deleting twlauncher from system/app improve performance or battery life? Or will in cause instability?
-Any help is appreciated =]
-Note: Build prop contains "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1"
Other Stuff: Ive tried editing the rom before flashing as in replacing twlauncher.apk with launcher pro.apk and that wood not load a homescreen on boot. ive tried adding the both into the rom before flashing and that was unstable. but of course there is a pretty high chance i did this process incorrectly.
Details: gs4g/ icbinb 1.5/ ext4 on all/ uv at 1.3/
I always delete it, and I too use LPP. I haven't noticed a difference either way
i too wonder about this question. I don't think it will improve battery any if you close down the TW launcher and set the other launcher as default. If anyone have more experience please confirm or correct my reasoning.
I always delete it to using Titanium Backup. After I delete it I go into TB's More settings and clean the dalvik cache.
I've never had an issue with anything. After a reboot LP gets installed as a system app.

this is because you put the wrong apk file into system/app. remember, it is not the apk from your data folder, it is the one from the cache folder. i have done this many, many times on multiple phones and it has always worked. uninstall launcher pro, reinstall it from the market. immediately use root explorer to go to the /cache folder and copy the download.apk file. rename it to w/e and put that file in the system/app OF THE ROM ZIP FILE. then flash THAT ZIP file. should work every time. dont just put it in your system/app of the rom currently loaded on your phone. doesnt work that way

You're the man! thanks. I think this is what I was missing. I remembered you tried to explain this process to me and I and I just failed. But again, thank you.
Can this be done for all apks? Like if I wanted pandora or google music as high priority system apps?
It can be done for most apps, but not all. Some apps install to more places than just data/app, so it won't work. it's trial and error, to be honest. But I guess that's half the fun, isn't it?

Jager, could you please reply with an example of what renaming a download.apk would look like.
I went into my cache folder using Root Explorer, long pressed the download.apk I have there and hit rename.
Do I literally change the name download.apk to w/e?
I'm sure this is a dumb question but I'm new to modding. I only very recently have learned enough to venture out of just flashing.
This is more than a curiosity for me. I want to learn and practice this kind of modding.
Thank you for your time and wisdom.

jerry,
i just name it whatever app it is. for example, i would rename download.apk to launcherpro.apk or to gosmspro.apk. I would, however, long press, click COPY, copy it to my "download" folder on my sd card, and then rename it. i do not MOVE the download.apk from the cache folder. i also do not rename it until i have copied it to my sd card. that just me though. i think the android system clears out the download.apk file by itself and it would be best to let it do that; as opposed to prematurely moving it and it causing errors.
After renaming the download.apk what do we do with it. Push to where?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
COPY the download.apk to any folder on your sdcard. Then rename it to whatever.apk
Copy this file to syatem/app in the new rom before you flash it.
From what ive been told this can be done from a lot of apps, but not all. So far ive tried and had good experiences with launcherpro, google music, and pandora.

A really easy way to do this as well is to use Titanium Backup.
If you currently have both TW and launcher pro on your phone... Open titanium backup and click on the middle tab up top labeled backup/restore.
Scroll down to TW launcher and select. It will give you an option to uninstall.
And launcher pro becomes your default and only launcher.
It also works to remove other system apps that you normally cannot as well.
Jiggly, while that may work, my approach does a couple of different things. It makes them true system apps, saves internal ROM and uses system ROM instead, cleans up a few things and it makes flashing a lot easier. With titanium backup, you ate not integrating the apps into the ROM. We are removing and adding things prior to flashing, causing less problems

As I stated earlier in this thread I too was using the "Titanium Backup method" and thought that my apps were System apps. That's what Titanium Backup says and they are red so they must be.
If I go into My system app folder using Super Manager I can see in my app list that they are not true System apps as Jager said. A system app looks like this in my app folder; My Account [SYS] Maps [SYS] Music [SYS] ect.
Here is what my "Titanium backup method" apps look like;
LauncherPro [SYS]Internal Only
Double Twist [SYS]Internal Only
Dolphin Browser HD [SYS]Movable
I noticed this a couple of weeks ago and that is why I was excited to see this thread. I know the method jager is describing is Superior to using TB. I'm working on "my" ROM now.
I just thought I'd throw this out there. There's nothing like a visual aid to put things into perspective.
jerry, let me know if you need help with that; or at least some pointers. i'm not raver or dsexton (krylon and drhonk goes without being said), but i still have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Ok, I have a rooted Charge running Eclipse Rom

If they are not system app, you can download 'appinstaller" by FunTrigger and browse to the apk and install. If system app, you can use "root explore" or "ES File Explorer" from the Market and drop the apk in /Sytem/app/
Good luck.
You should just be able to click on them with Root Explorer to install them. If installation fails, just push them to /system/app with Root Explorer.

You have to mount /system/app as read/write. If you're using Root Explorer, tap the "Mount R/W" button at the top of the /system/app directory. If you're using another file explorer, you should be able to find an option to do it, but I don't know any of the other ones personally.

So recentley i updated my Sky ICS to release 5 and 16ish. I realised i had no sound. So i found a way to get them back. On the forum it says to go into the 16ish.zip and pull out the media file and paste it on your sd. So i did. I put the ringtones in the ringtones folder, the alarms in the alarms folder, and the notifications in the notif.
My problem is the UI's. I can't put the ui sounds in the ui file.
i found a way to fix it but i dont know how. i'm currently using astro file manager as well as SManager.
i go into /system/media/audio/ui and i try to paste it but neither program allows me to.
So what i was wonder is if some one can help me push it through adb or if they could create a fix.zip that all i have to do is flash it so that it can push the ui's
