Test #2 is up, and I now have enough posts to add urls in my posts, so you could probably delete the link you posted for me earlier.

I guess I'm not surprised this is so unpopular, because it's pretty much a cm-nightly... but we all appreciate any extra work and time spent for the benefit of the community. I grabbed it because it has gapps and gmaps already

Thanks for checking it out. I'm just getting started cooking, trying to figure things out. I know this is pretty simple, but I figured I'd make it available anyway for everybody who likes to keep it simple. I thought about making it market and gmail only, since market auto-downloads what you had installed anyway, but I figured that would just be too simple.
It looks like there is a lot of information available in the Chef Central forum, and everywhere else. Hopefully as I learn more about this, it will turn into something more interesting.

Im gonna give this a shot, mainly because of the clock widget lol.

I can download things from market. why would not having google talk prevent that? It is just an instant messaging app that I don't use.

I'd remove that attachment if i were u. It's been removed from the market due to legal conflicts with Htc. Hence no mod would like to see that

It got removed because HTC didn't want people using what are essentially stolen parts of their UI on non-Sense devices. I don't see any mods removing ROMs containing Sense in their entirety. Removing it for that reason would be highly contradictory.
I'm also not using this, considering nightlies can be found here updated daily and the 'modifications' can be achieved by bashing a couple of commands in to the terminal.

It's different though. Htc hasn't complained or issued any cease/desist letters for htc sense roms, but has for paid apps that are very similar in ui to their proprietary apps. Refer to xda mods taking action here.

I agree with Daneshm90 on this after everything I have read I would remove it just to cover your butt.

I didn't think there would be a problem since it wasn't a paid app and I have seen this in other roms. Maybe I'll remove it in my next version. Thanks for the heads up.
I have removed the links for now, until I get further clarification about including the Fancy Widget.

New Gallery App Replacement *Solved*

PLEASE NOTE: I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS APP, I JUST "TRANSLATED" IT TO ENGLISH
I've been trying to replace 3d gallery and have stumbled upon a great 2d gallery, unfortunately for me it was in Chinese, I read the instructions on the first page of miui translation forum thread and have translated it to English and actually compiled the app without any errors(to my surprise ). but when i replace the app on the phone i still get the original version that opens up(Chinese one).
I spend 2 good hours translating it, and really hate coming up short
can some one tell me what i am doing wrong? I'm attaching the Chinese version and the English version
there are the translation instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8268893&postcount=3
UPDATE: A kind member of XDA community has signed the app

Have you tried replacing the .apk in /system/app via root explorer or adb?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

its not a system app. it just a regular apk. eventually i want to replace the 3d galley so this one woudl open up from the camera

i could not even get it to install. wont install normally, and copied to /data/app and it doesnt show up
tried to install with adb and it gave a certificate error
this is because you didnt sign the translated apk
http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-sign-apk-zip-files/
shows you how to do that
if you modify an apk, it must be signed before your phone will use it
ive signed it and its installed, and working, in english
my guess is that you didnt remove the untranslated version before trying your new one, make sure you remove it first
good work btw, great find
also, this isnt aosp is it? i was thinking the icon more resembled miui, which would make sense if it was in chinese

THANK YOU !!!!! nice to see my work didnt go to waste , in the thread it said i can do it without signing it so that what i did.

as far as i know, all apk's must be signed for android to use them (with the exception of framework-res.apk)
also, you should change the thread name to something else and put a signed version on the first thread so others dont get confused

changed. you wouldn't happen to know how to link this app through the camera? so when i click on the gallery from there it would open this app. i assume there is a pointeer somewhere in the camera.apk...

what do i look like? a programmer?
actually, no i have no idea. i would expect if you decompiled Camera.apk you can find it by digging through the code
(use smali/baksmali to accomplish the decompile)
but i am not well versed in programming, so i wouldnt know where to begin

crutoi,
great find! love this gallery. so much easier and faster. better organized. when you find the link to the camera, let us know. until then, i'm a happy camper! Thanks!

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

First and foremost thank you for translating the application. The application loads our media gallery really fast, it blows 3D gallery out of the water.
Feedback:
-Some of the cataloging is redundant,
-Thumb image quality is not the best,
-The icon could be nicer,
-No Picasa support.
Thanks again.

Do you have the source code for this?

Can I make a duplicate app??

I have a themed facebook app, and I want to have the official one to do something since it is a little hard to see things with this theme. The apps are seen to be the same by the phone.
Is there a way I can have both apps installed at the same time? If I renamed the current app would it still work?

While its not a direct answer... whats the worst that could happen? Try it.

I have tried, and searched, which is how I know the phone thinks it I the same app

I have a themed Black transparent Facebook and also have original facebook installed. Both work together. I found that the themed facebook limits the characters typed on my posts unlike the original.

Th problem with mine is that it when trying to install the second one, it just tries to replace the first

The problem is both app have the same packagename (i think com.facebook.katana), the filename itself doesnt matter. Unless you change the packagename of one, you cant install both.
To do this you will have to decompile the app, change the packagename in the androidmanifest.xml and everywhere else and recompile. But this will most likely break functionality.

If I did decompile it, how could I make sure it worked?

You compile it and reinstall it.
Though im pretty sure it won't work as there will be problems with the generated resources in the .apk

What if I changed the name in the resources as well?

package, version, and titles
you must have individual package name, version number, and title for the app to be considered different by your phone.

Sounds like good fun. I will get on this

As long as the packagename is different apps can have the same name and version number...

Alright I will try changing it soon

[MOD] Sprint Lovers 4.24 GB QuickSettings SystemUI.apk 10/3/2011

Here is a modified stock Evo 4G 4.24 GB SystemUI.apk that has the quick settings enabled. This is my first mod post so please forgive me if I missed something.
I am posting this cause I have looked far and wide for this and did not find one specifically for the Evo. I did find several that worked on the Evo but didn't have the 4G toggle.
This apk is straight from the HTC RUU as all the parts were there but disabled. Thanks to SK806 for providing some helpful hints to get me rolling.
Update:
*Fixed FC's on 4G toggle
All toggle are now enabled, and a screen shot added.
Task manager and Recent apps are still off cause I didn't want them.
The order of the toggles in the list have been changed to Brightness, Wi-Fi, 4G, Mobile Network, Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Auto Rotation, and All Settings.
Plans:
Flashable zip
Add Transparency to the lists
Add an entry for the flashlight (cross your fingers and toes for this one)
I plan to make a flashable zip but for now the apk will have to do.
Just push this to /system/app and makes sure the permissions are set accordingly.

I appreciate this but there is already a flashable zip here in this section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17642327
Sent from my phone using psychokinesis.

I'd like to say it's the same but, this is not the case it's a port. I modified the origonal RUU files for the Evo plus I have plans to enable other options within it that are not found yet.

Gotcha. Good luck!
All of the options in the quick settings was one of the huge reasons i was using mikg.
Sent from my phone using psychokinesis.

Well it does look an awful lot like ca1nes...
However, could you post the .smali/xml edits so the other people out here can help you add the other toggles? TIA.

I sure can, but I have already completed that step and hope to post the final apk shortly. I'll post the smali edits in the op in the same stroke.

Just FYI, ca1nes version is not a port, he just got the code from someone else(mrluje, I think) and took the 4.53 and added the code to activate it, I can confirm this.
The smali changes were simple, one line of code. Good job tho

Sorry I didn't decompile ca1nes to see, just based what I said off his verbaige in his op. Either way now that my revised apk and screenie is up you can clearly see the differences.

Thanks so much for getting this to work. Love it. Two quick requests and I think I can be completely happy with my setup. Can you make the background transparent? Can you make the status bar transparent? Thank you again...

Check my post on the other thread for instructions on the transparent background. I don't remember the status bar. I think it may be in framework. Been a while. I was thinking about figuring that out again. However, I would want to fix all the status bar icons, and that was a pain.

Been looking into these two items already and both from what I can tell so far is that they are both controlled in the systemui.apk classes. I need to fix an issue first thought as it seems the 4G toggle broke when I changed the order. It worked when I first tested the posted build, but I tried using 4G over the weekend and got Fc's. So gotta fix that first, let me know if you guys get the same (if using my build). Gotta get this fix cause its the only things keeping me from using GB as my main driver.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

My 4G is working fine from the qs toggle. Will you be willing to include the recent apps along with quick settings (no transparent background) in your new release please Sir? Thank you in advance.
From: My Evo 4G

Very cool, sir. Thanks for explaining the difference between yours and the one I linked earlier.
I hope the brightness slider gets universal soon because I miss it and use extended controls for now since I keep flashing roms lately.

Contacts and SMS apps - CM9

I've noticed the contacts and SMS app are different in CM9 versus most of the other roms on here. In particular they seem somewhat limited in capability by comparison (can't join contacts, etc), and the colour scheme is a disgusting white+blue.
Anyone know why this is and what exactly is different? Also, Is there a way to replace these system apps?

Thanks for the tip, looks interesting, I might try this out later.
But actually I was more just curious as to the difference between contact/sms in CM9 vs other roms. Being somewhat of a noob my thought is that the others are Samsung specific and the apps in CM9 are not.
The contacts/sms apps found in other roms seems to be more powerful and the colours somewhat match the rest of the interface. Whereas the apps found in CM9 seem to be very basic in terms of functionality and the colours are hideous.
If someone can fill me in, that'd be great.

Yeah, the one in cm9 is the aosp messaging. And the ones you see in most other roms are samsung messaging apps.

The Theme Chooser in AOKP and CM9 let you change quite a bit of the appearance of the Rom. Then you can find other mods to change mms, etc.

I was checking out the AromaKoK mod linked in the first response and ended up installing the inverted version of gapps using it (Among other changes, this mod really is great) which made the colour scheme for contacts/sms app more tolerable.
Just wish there was a "Join contact" feature, but oh well.
Thanks to everyone who responded to clarify.

if you save your contacts via google you can merge them on googles webpage so that they stay merged. just go to google/gmail click on the gmail tab and click contacts you can merge them there sync them to your phone and never have to merge them again

Good call, will give that a try.
Also apparently there is a join/merge contact option in AOSP gapps I am just blind. You have to select the contact > Menu > Edit > Menu > Join Contact
A few extra steps compared to what I am used to but at least it's there.
