Miui tweaks and hints - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Sooooo for anyone who had been wondering and maybe didn't know, here are a few things to tweak ravers miui.
Getting Google search on the search key instead of that pesky chinese sidekick thing.
1. Install Google search and titanium backup (if you haven't bought it you should) free version should work.
2. restart the phone
3. Press your search button and select Google search if it doesn't do it automatically, but it should.
More to come soon as I playwith it some more.
Hint: beware zapping this rom or adding any tweaks like that. Raver is still tweaking himself and miui is built differently from stock roms. They change internal files that miui may or may not need. It can cause instability.
More coming as I play with this rom....

[Q] GR-11 App Sorting

Has anyone found a way to sort apps in GR-11?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056542
I didn't see anything addressing app sorting in the link that you posted?
Search for Touchwiz AppSorter in the market. If it says database error after you run it, just clear the TouchWiz data (gonna reset your launcher though) Drove me nuts for about 20 minutes till I figured it out lol!

I got the database error with that app. I cleared the data, it didn't fully sort the apps. It left the original first page of apps, then sorted the subsequent pages.
Is there a way to not only sort ALL apps, but to make it re-sort when you install a new app without losing you 7 screens?
Also, has anyone figured out how to choose your home screen? I only want 3 screens, but I want screen 2 to be "home" not 3.
Sent from my Captivate running GR-11
Use a different launcher until it's fixed? GR is still in beta. And until it's out of beta expect there to be bugs.

He linked you to that thread because that's where your question should've been asked instead of making a new thread.
Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications>All>TwLauncher>Force Stop then Clear Data...but it will reset your home screen...you'll have to customize it again...

I just swapped over to Launcher Pro.....everything is sorted nicely now!
I went with ADW free. Works great so far. Loving GR-11.

Go Launcher EX sorts it well.
Launcher pro for the win..

The TouchWiz app sorter from the market has recently been updated to support TouchWiz 4.0. Therefore you can now use it on your GR-12 ROM without getting that database error .

Some helpful apps for those who are rooted :)

Bloat Freezer - be careful what you freeze, if you freeze an application that is running you will have to restart your phone up, but otherwise a great app for freezing apps you don't need
ES file explorer- a free version on root explorer that to me works just as well
Rom manager
SD booster
Set PCU
Sqlite editor
Light flow
If anyone else has any they want to add feel free to, just trying to help some people that may be new to this
You can get a app called ROM toolbox that has all of those ^^^^^ built in

True, I had just been used to using those apps for so long on my OG that by the time it came out I never played with it that much, a lot of people liked it though!

I did the manual method with ADB from Llinux, so no busybox with root. Had to install from the market.

Bought Rom Toolbox. It is a game changer. I easily spent two hours last night changing fonts, customizing my status bar and tweaking the wifi scan interval. I love, love, LOVE this app.

That's great to here, because I am in the process of trading my Galaxy S II for an Atrix 2. I missed Motorola too much. I was hoping there was an app to remove the carrier label from the status bar.
I could be wrong, but I don't see anything in Rom Toolbox to get rid of the AT&T wording in the status bar. But what you can do, is change all of the graphic icons (like battery, signal, wifi, just to name a few). Sometimes I would choose a rom just based on these small details! Lol. Now, I can get past that and actually choose a rom based on performance!

Thanks for clarifying. There is another app called carrier name that may do it, I assumed Rom Toolbox would do it also. If not I will do it the fun way
Has anyone running lfaber06's ROM attempted to change their CPU values with ROM Toolbox yet? I'm running his ROM/Theme with no issues as of yet. I just changed my SD Boost Value to 2048kb from 1024kb via ROM Toobox (Pro Version) and thus far, no issues as of yet... Anyone else toyed around with this app? If so what have they experimented with? I saw in an earlier post someone changed fonts and notification icons, etc. Anything else? Such as kernal tweaks, etc?

APK files

I've downloaded a keyboard (from abso tools to be specific), I moved the file to system/app and installed it and its still a no show.
Rebooted and still not there.
What else can I do? Thanks guys
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
You don't move files to the system/app folder and then install. Leave it on your sd card and run it from there to install. First thing I would do is go it out of there. Then see if the keyboard needs enabled in your phone's settings under Language & Keyboard. Then open up a text box to type in. For example use your text messenger. Long press in the text box, release finger, and choose Input method. Then choose your new keyboard.
Done all the above.
Downloaded again, installed from SD card. Went into setting and enabled swype, long pressed on text box, selected swype and got a force close repeatedly.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Swype is free in beta form and can be gotten from swype.com. I know nothing of the version you are installing as it can be incompatable with the Inspire. There are many versions for many phones.
I'm installing blue swype from the absolution tools.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Did you uninstall Swype and reboot before trying to install the abso keyboard?
Uninstall swype that's already installed on the phone?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Yes. Uninstall, reboot, then install the Abso Swype.
Where would the swype be located? I can't find it
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
I usually uninstall with Tibu. But you can also go to settings/applications/manage applications and uninstall there.
There wasn't a swype in there.
I'm confused lol. Ill just make do with the gingerbread stock keyboard.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Ok, if Swype wasn't there is not installed. I don't know what to do.
I read in another thread where someone was having a similar problem. They moved the apk to sys/app and it worked. Tried that and still a no go. Installed from SD card, rebooted and still not there. Idk what else I can do.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
I've tried several different keyboards with no luck. I got then to install, but i would keep getting an update notice
If you are getting update notices for swype then all those versions are out of date. The version I am running is 3.26.92D.36178.t0. If the number is lower then it is outdated.
Did you try the swype beta from swype.com?
Let me get this straight. In order for me to use the blue swype keyboard from absolution tools, I first have to DL the beta from swype.com?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
I didn't understand that you had to have this BLUE Keyboard. I thought you just needed swype. Since that version wasn't working I was giving you a way to get swype.
Give me the link to this blue keyboard and I will have a look at it.
Edit: I see that Absolute Tools is included in the Absolute ROM. So why would you not be asking this question over there in the ROM thread? You seem to be holding a conversation of non informational chit chit over there so why not ask this there where they can help you?
Because this isn't just about the keyboard. I've had other problems with apk files also, just used the keyboard as an example hoping the resolution would help with other issues.
Also, I've found out that none of the keyboards work anyways.
Thanks for your help though.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
schunter, post your question in the Abso Q&A. I don't personally use swype but I had no problems getting it to install. However, I did get the update notice and it does not function as expected(swyping to type), I had to type normally for it to work.
I'll get w/the team leader to try and resolve this.

How to get rid of carhome???

Ok, so I got a g2x eb rom, faux kernel and a magnetic holster on my belt.
The problem is, carhome keeps popping up every time I place my phone in and take it out. Freakin annoying.
Nothing is working and I can't find carhome launcher apk ANYWHERE, only carhome apk.
Tried:
1. Un install through ti bckup and android
2. Dock no app and other apps that should stop carhome from starting
3. Pm packages disable through terminal
4. Delete apk altogether...
Nothing is working. Any suggestions?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
have you tried removing it via adb? I mean, delete it, reboot and you may get an error if s/g tries to launch it. Also try an app called app quarantine, I use it to freeze apps and I know it works for car home. You can also try a program called ROM Tool box, by JRummy. If nothing works, get a new ROM, or reflash as it could just be bugged.
Thanks.
The problem is, I unstalled via titanium. No apk of carhome.
So there is no apk to quarantine or stop via apps.
I think my problem is that the carhome launcher is the pia. I can't seem to figure out how to disable the launcher. No launcher apk anywhere.

Have you tried using Bloater app?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I did the following to get rid of it:
1) extract the cahome.apk from the ROM zip file and install it.
2) Once installed it should show up in titanium backup
3) tap on car home in titanium backup and click wipe data and then the uninstall.
4) reboot,
That should remove it .

I used Rom Toolbox from the app store and uninstalled it. Poof its gone and no issues! Just go into the apps section and hold car home, then select uninstall.
Glad one of.my suggestions worked. Please hit the thanks button.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yeah installing /uninstall doesn't work. For some reason it always comes back.
I got a diff app, disablecarhome on the market and that one finally seems to work.... If that acts up again I'll try the apps mentioned.

Oops, nvm, was reading the post on a bumpy bus, thought the person who said they used ROM toolbox was you. What app exactly did you use and why?
I am not an advance user, but I did managed to removed that piece of **** carhome without ****ing anything up.
1) Install Root Uninstaller. It is a free app on market. (I assume you have root access, since you said you are using faux and eb rom)
2) Find Carhome, check it, hit Backup in case you want it back, then uninstall. The apk should be saved on your phones internal sd right now, back it up to your pc as you desired.
3) At this point, your phone should pop out something about kineto (sp?), crashing. I've try anything I can think of but nothing will back you out of that error loop. No fear though! All you have to do is pull battery out
4) Turn the phone back on, now enjoy your phone without that piece of **** app bothering the **** outa you
Freezing it should also work since it is not available in app drawer.

Remove Google Search in top right

Anyone know how to remove it? Can't find the option..
Anyone? Oh and I meant on the top left
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
I don't think you can remove it, unless you flash a custom ROM like CM10.
use Apex (or Nova) launcher -- then it's an option, along with many others
