Nextbook Premium 7 Modding Challenge - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Thanks to forum posts here and on other communitys i got my Next7p rooted (of course enabled Android Market) with all bloat removed... but i still some issues that i can't solve my self.
The device has capactive buttons below the screen (search,home,menu,back) yet despite that the default os image has home, back & menu on the status bar (I understand the reason for volume ones since it lacks hardware volume control). Also since it wasn't meant for android market they took out Accounts & Sync from the settings list but left it in the os (can be accessed by market apps).
Challenge: Remove home,menu,back from the next7p stock SystemUI.apk & Restore Accounts & Sync to Settings.apk
Attached is the deodexed SystemUI.apk & Settings.apk for modifying... I look forward to someone potentially being able to solve my remaining annoyances with the device.
PS. I can test it after modding since i can recover it using its recovery mode (see other attachment).

This one goes out to the US T-Mobile Defy owners - OTA 6.39 ROM

If you purchased your phone in the last three weeks and from this date onwards (Feb 8), you have the latest 6.39 US rom preinstalled. (Currently being rolled out for older devices through the OTA).
This means that you have a high likelihood of bricking your device if you attempt to flash a non US rom – or probably any rom.
This is my experience so I decided to post this thread in this section (despite grumblings) as a caution.
After a heroic 24 hour effort last week, I gave up on trying to unbrick my last device and this time (last night) decided to take the safer road and see if the updated rom could at least still be rooted….
As mentioned elsewhere, it still can be rooted using superoneclick (run from the pc – instructions in other threads)
I’ve attached the file that worked for me below, and will briefly describe the route I’ve followed this morning to get to a smoothly running, rooted Defy that still runs 2.1 but cleanly bypasses blur and looks and feels good:
• Root using the file below or find it in other threads – there are a few versions to choose from.
• Install Tenfar’s recovery (big thanks!), found elsewhere or attached below. (Again there are a few versions to choose from including a newer version from tenfar but the one attached below worked for me)
• Make a backup using recovery – remembering that it always has to be run from the recovery app and can’t be booted into from a switched off state or battery pull – (power on volume down) This is at the core of the locked boot loader issue - correct me someone if I’m wrong.
Once backed up you can set about downloading app remover/freezers, overclock apps (setcpu) and an alternate launcher – ADW. (Aside from a bunch of other apps that require root and are lotsa fun!)
My approach to the bloatware:
I first tried freezing apps one by one (deleting/removing them will affect your ability to get future OTAs smoothly without restoring the original backup so instead unfreeze them later)
…but froze one too many – bluraccount app and got froze out of the phone interface (Blank screen - not having any way to run the functions/apps or change settings, and a factory wipe/restore or using the stock recovery didn’t fix this by the way) and four hours later found a backdoor to reinstalling recovery and restoring the backup – sweaty work believe me.
(How to: By multi tapping the home button it opened up the internet app – then navigated to a link to the online “appbrain” app and clicked a link there to download directly from the market. This then automatically opened up the market app on the phone which was otherwise unavailable by any other means. Once the market app was opened, I downloaded, installed and immediately clicked to open linda file manager then used it to navigate to the SD card to find the recovery app mentioned above, clicked to reinstall which opened the install dialogue, I then chose to open it because it was already installed and chose to boot into recovery from where I restored the earlier backup - voila! All better)
I decided then to only remove non moto/blur related apps and install ADW free and basically take the blur interface out of the equation while getting a visual upgrade.
While this approach leaves the blur account sync and other blur related apps intact, if you have the updated rom, you’ll know that it’s fast and smooth anyway, making this a workable compromise because the blur interface/launcher is basically the other half of their annoying equation.
I chose not to permanently overclock to protect the phone long term and also preserve battery life, but it does give it an immediate kick!
Once ADW and some free themes are downloaded from the market, it’s accessed by going into any area or menu of the phone, say settings, then clicking the home soft key.
This opens a dialogue asking how you’d like to execute this command, ADW or Home (blur) - click the box saying remember choice (make default) – note the instructions on how to undo this choice later and say goodbye to blur baby!
To access ADW settings – because you’re now looking at a different desktop/home screen (for want of a better term) – click the menu soft key (bottom, far left) and choose ADW settings.
From here you can change all manner of launcher (phone interface) settings:
How many icons around the app drawer button, how fast it opens, making it 3D and transparent (sorry you’re going to have to figure this out for yourself – OK, ADW settings, drawer settings, zoom effect speed 100 – background color – move the alpha slider to the far left then click in the middle of the color wheel) themes, how many rows of apps, auto hiding the task bar, and on and on.
Basically a smooth running visual overhaul to add to the rooted, free to do whatever you want device.
And for those of you who are concerned about still running éclair (2.1) – I’d say that once you’ve basically achieved a 2.3 (gingerbread) visual experience with ADW, have disappeared blur for all intents and purposes, have a device that runs smoothly (and let’s face it it’s a defy) you basically won’t miss the little extra’s that come with froyo and if you really do – just hang in there for the upgrade.
It’s gotta come sometime.
Peace out

Grey 100-step batteries for WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread V6

Ok,
Since people have had some problems with losing reboot options, xloud, etc. from flashing older packages I am going to remove them & make this thread exclusively for Wolfbreak's 2.3.3 rom v6 (or latest). As of now it is the rom I use and the only one I can test properly and guarantee working. I am only including the framework-res.apk in these zips and not framework.jar or android.policy.jar, etc. so they will not add functionality to other roms and will only work with roms that share the same features as WB's.
Remember you can make a theme with a percentage battery at UOT kitchen or use one of the other mods or themes around if you have issues.
*Note-You will not need to mount anything special when installing these. Flash as a custom zip in xrecovery as you normally would.
Zipaligned,for her pleasure.
Grey Battery Icon with Percentage
Flash as a custom zip with xrecovery
Download: WB_v6_GreyBattery.zip
PLEASE remember to back up your phone before installing!!
Grey Super Circle with Percentage
Flash as a custom zip with xrecovery
Download: WB_v6_GreyCircle.zip
PLEASE remember to back up your phone before installing!!
Other versions reported working:Here
Icons are from Fightspit's thread and UOTK
Thanks to MrRusch & _calum_ for doing this originally
Thanks Frosty666 for initial screens & testing
Thanks to 10asseye & zorglub08 for the icon fix & keeping up with this when I wasn't.
Hit "Thanks" if you use it
Great work, we needed something like this. The default battery icon is useless.
I'm just backing up and downloading now. I will report back in about 10 minutes with the results. I'm using Wolfs's 2.3.3.
EDIT:
Works fine on Wolfs 2.3.3. Only one small bug; when charging, on the lock screen where it displays the battery level, the icon is slightly cut off at the top and bottom. No biggie though. Good work AyDee.
Screenshots are attached.
Great, thanks for confirming! Between my daughter's birthday and other stuff I haven't had a second to sit down & flash the SE 2.3 yet.. Tomorrow!!
I will fix the icons that are cut off and make an xrecovery zip soon.
And hopefully we'll see some themes pop up in the next few days using this
This is now flashable via xrecovery.
Also, the lockscreen images should be fixed.
Sorry for the double-post... Cheers!
Flashed worked absolutely fine.

Thanks for this, great mod. Works perfect on WB's rom
Absolutely fantastic, works flawlessly, thanks! (WB's 2.3.3. rom)
Everything works fine.....Thank you...

Handset will reboot while you long press the power button to invoke the power menu with Wolfbreak's GB_V06.
I have installed new Wolf firmware 006 and this Battery Mod crashes when you press power button.
I was loving this circle mod until I started to investigate (why crashes with Wolf Mod) and If I can solve it and I found A VERY STRANGE THING (for me):
Can you tell me why do a battery mod that only changes Notification Icons does need ALL this strange permissions?:
*Your Personal Information: read contact data, read user defined diccionary, write contact data
*Services that cost you money: directly call phone numbers
*Your messages: modify Gmail, read Gmail
*Your location: coarse network/gps location
*Network communication: control near field communication, create Bluetoot connections, full internet access
*Your accounts: use te authentication credentials of an account
*Phone Calls: read phone state and identity
*Hardware controls: change your audio settings, record audio
*Systems tools: bluetoot admin, change Wifi state, change UI settings, disable keylock, modify global system settings, mount and unmount filesystems, prevent phone from sleeping, write access point name settings, write sync settings.
I fixed the charging/low battery icons, one pixel line was cut at the bottom.

WTH are you talking about? How are you even trying to install this? If you are trying to install framework-res.apk with an app installer it won't work. Framework-res.apk may need those permissions since it tells the ui how to behave for all of those actions but I honestly have never dealt with permissions when installing.

Haven't updated to 006 but this had been working fine on WB 005 for me. Will update & investigate.

Awesome, got your PM & I'll update soon.
I originally made this since UOT Kitchen was down and there was no circle battery mod out yet. I will continue to update it to make it easy to just download & install, but remember you can make a theme with a percentage battery at UOT kichen or use one of the other mods or themes around if you have issues.
Cheers!
*Edit- There is a fix for Wolfbreak's 006 rom, see OP
Yes i did installed with xrecovery in update 005. But when I've installed firm 006 at first circle battery wasn't functioning so i tryed to extract it and install the apk only to check if that helped and this permissions issue came up... I really dont like that this mod has all this permissions.

Suggestions for custom rom makers/stock rom mods.

Hello everyone,
As it seems that I really like writing a lot (in English especially) and writing guides (my job requires a lot of standards), I thought of creating a guide for devs/custom rom makers/stock rom modifiers.
This guide is not something that I want to impose, these are just suggestions and I will also include some known issues around here. So, let's begin.
1. Bootanimation
This can be selected as you wish. Any bootanimation other than the standard one should be fine. Or, if you want, you can provide more animations and a short guide on how to change bootanimation.zip and where.
2. Lock Screen
Removing the HTC Lockscreen will lead to the default android Gingerbread one. Now this one's buggy. Like hell. For example, pull the right slider (the one with the sound control) to change the profile to vibrations. Now you can see that the slider is hanging from the top, pointing to bottom (can be fixed with a phone restart).
Example:
3. Missing caller screen when phone is locked
If you have the default lockscreen you will notice that there is no incoming call screen displayed when the phone is locked (that or I removed too much stuff). Keep this in mind.
4. Icons/Notifications
Even though the default Gingercroissant (too much bread) looks black, if you pull the status bar (taskbar) you will notice that it turns back to white-grey (the default HTC Sense/ChaCha) one. Keep this in mind when adding icons/notifications. (picking white icons will render them barely visible)
5. Applications
Most devs/modders prefer to add their most liked applications and integrate them into the ROM (so that you cannot uninstall them from Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications) which kinda sucks since not everyone uses/likes the same stuff (it's called "taste"). Basically I am suggestion to add only SuperUser and let the users install their own apps (Titanium, Messenger, GPS, etc.). For example I have my own Titanium Backup.apk (it's personalized) which I want to install - cannot be installed if Titanium is already present though.
6. Google Sync
Some of us like to have the Google account synchronized with the GMail server and I would suggest leaving the Google Contacts Sync and Calendar Sync in the rom (they can be removed later). It's easier to remove than to search the internet and add them separately.
7. Bloatware
News, Weather, Mirror, Stocks, News&Weather (Yes, 3 different applications for the same stuff), HTC Likes, HTC Hub, Downloads, Facebook, Peep, Tweeter, GTalk.. There are more, of course (for example I have also removed Live wallpaper stuff since I don't use Live wallpapers, skin picker, skin scanner, profile widget, ringtone widget, and more) and it should be taken into consideration this question: how much is really enough?
8. Link2SD and ext-partitions
Well, since custom roms do allow the use of ext and Link2SD I suggest using them as much as possible.
I do hope that this could help some of you (or mocked by others) but any feedback is welcomed.
Excellent suggestions! I'd also like to keep the HTC Sense widgets, as I find them quite useful. HTC Likes & HTC Hub can be removed, as they don't provide much use. Cheers.
Applications bundled with a rom can still be easily uninstalled, provided that the rom maker knows how to, and puts the apks inside an /data folder. Mounting and extraction is similar to that of the /system partition. The profit of this is the uninstallability (nice word, huh?) Of the added apks, the downside is of course that a data wipe will remove these applications. Ideal would be a /system rom base update.zip, and an applications.zip containing all the added applications the developer likes, to be extracted into /data. Just sharing my thoughts..

i have been customizing my rom based on the stock, but this was one of the irritating parts. finally, i have decided to use the original htclockscreen.
to change the icons in the lockscreen, you don't need to have rosie installed. all you need is simply to add setting.xml in /data/data/com.htc.lockscreen/shared_prefs. (i did it in init.d)
the format of setting.xml is as follow:
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<boolean name="customized" value="true" />
<string name="shortcut1">#Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;category=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER;component=com.android.htcdialer/.Dialer;end</string>
<string name="shortcut2">#Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;category=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER;component=com.google.android.gm/.ConversationListActivityGmail;end</string>
<string name="shortcut3">#Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;category=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER;component=com.android.camera/.CameraEntry;end</string>
<string name="shortcut4">#Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;category=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER;component=com.handcent.nextsms/com.handcent.sms.ui.ConversationExList;end</string>

hi ajeev, i am sorry i am posting this here... but i really need your help in fixing some problems with ZaSa_4chacha_GB1.57_v2.0... i am currently using it... the best rom... but i am having some issues i wanted to report....
1. Power off is not working properly
2. if charging turned off phone, then the phone gets stuck and needs to remove battery to start.
3. my '@' sign has been moved to '~' button and dollar has changed to pound
i tried to fix keyboard layout issue but couldnt get my CID to match the ones stated in other posts
in any case i am loving the rom thank you

What do you mean by 1. ?
For 2. get the latest CWM, it's a recovery issue and has been fixed.
rom makers should not remove Gtalk, It is Incredibly hard to restore it once removed. and all just to save a few KB of space...

Thanks for trying my custom rom.....
1) what do you mean by this? does your power off button not showing the power options? if yes, you need to press and hold the button for 2 to 3 sec for the power option menu to show up
2) As alex stated, you need to flash the latest CWM recovery
3) what CID you have? what did you changed.
And did anyone know how to move this post to the original ZASA thread?
I've done the same thing you are doing over here and, beside Link2SD removing the Sense UI and things, i've removed even the default E-Mail client, News, Meteo, HTC Clock Widget, Facebook, Peep, Latitude, Messages Widget, Inform HTC, Meteo Widget, Music Widget, HTC Sense, Street View, Home Suggestions, HtcTrendsWidget, Photo Widget, Meteo Sync Provider for HTC, Ringtone Widget, Animated Wallpaper Selector, Sense Plugin Manager, HTC Meteo Wallpaper, HTC HubSync Provider, HTC Report Agent, HTC CheckIn Service.
Instead i've installed:
Kingsoft Office
Facebook for Android (From the PlayStore)
GoLauncher EX (i had an unlock bug, but i still see the volume button as you; i will change the lockscreen)
K-9 Mail
GoClock Widget
Quadrant Standar
* Winamp
Link2SD
Battery Indicator
Terminal Emulator (thinking about change it)
SuperUser
---------
*Thinking about removing "Music"
The reason for doing this is as simple as "You don't use it, you don't need it" and battery life ( IMPROVED! ).
---------
I'm having problems with the fB button, but i will fix it with the .apk that let's you choose what for to use it. I don't really need a fB button. Trying to make it sync the mails atm.
BTW, it was pretty hard to get it rooted and CWM installed. But i've done it!
If anyone needs help, pm me.
p.s. Keep the stock ROM, it's way better than everything atm.
p.s.s. i've used for work for 2 days so far and it's doing his job very well. F* BB&WP7 )

2.I am updated with latest cwm. Temp work around was to use Rom manager and directly reboot recovery
3. I got my keylayout fixed. See this post ...... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496730
Yeah I don't know If we can move the post to original thread coz at that time I was restricted to wait for 10 posts policy lol to comment in a development thread

Port some functions from Cyanogen

Hi.
Sorry if I'm posting something wrong / old or already answered, but I don't find anything about my situation.
I have a Xperia X8 with custom ROM, GingerDX. Now I'm moving to a new phone, and it don't have any type of custom rom, Cyanogen support, or even a device near to it, to try porting a ROM.
Following this guide, I cook a ROM to suit my needs.
But, obviously, some nice features from GingerDX/Cyanogen are missing. I don't wanna go to ICS, I just wanna some features and a very clean and small ROM.
So, I'm asking where I can get information about porting (or create) specific features from GingerDX/Cyanogen to my device. Not a full ROM, only some of these features are:
Fast copy and paste
Keyboard lights control
Number of apps in recent list
Long press menu to open a search
Long press back to kill an app
Music control even with phone locked (next song / previous song by holding volume keys)
Shutdown menu (restart, recovery, etc)
Notification power widget
Clock to show 00:00 instead 00h00 (is a 'h' in the middle)
Contacts to show format number 0000-0000 instead 00-000-000
Compact carrier label
Center clock on lockscreen
Notification focus
Music volume not attenuated by notifications
And some others I don't remember. I know, will be a hard job, but I'm not affraid to learn. If I made my own custom ROM, I beliave I can install these features... I just must have a start point, and some sugestions from devs to do this (i.e: remove unnecessary resources like languages, images inside apks, HDPI and LDPI images and codes). Maybe if you point this for me, other users can use the same to install these features on their phones without Cyanogen support.
Or another strategy to make a good custom ROM, even without Cyanogen offical support...
Thanks a lot!!
Nobody??
