I've searched and I can't find it so I wonder it any one can help, I've just installed a Sense 4.0 ICS ROM but I really miss the default bokeh live wallpaper that came on the Desire by default, it was on the Sensation originally but it appears to have been dropped for the newest version of Sense. Does anyone know where I can get it for my newly updated Sensation?
I'm also looking for it... There's a bunch of bokeh look alike LWs but I want the original that came with my sensation.
If nobody has it would anyone know how to get it from old gingerbread Rom and port it to ics??
I use this one?

Thanks for the link but I'm a fan of the original... I managed to pull the apk from an ics rom running sense 3.6 the only problem is that on roms with sense 4 the apk doesn't install. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager's root mode and push the apk to /system/app/
Then, change the permissions to match the permissions of all the other apks there, I believe it's RW R R, but just match it to the others. To change permissions in Root Explorer, hold your finger on the file and hit Permissions or whatever. Not sure if ES can do it, but it probably can.
After it's in /system/app and the permissions are edited, reboot and it should show up in the Live Wallpaper list.
Edit: If that doesn't work, look up the APK signer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImtlbGxpbndvb2Quemlwc2lnbmVyMiJd This is ZipSigner 2 and it works perfectly. Sign the APK, then try to install it using a file manager or something, you know, install it like normal. If it still doesn't install after being signed, use the method above and push it to /system/app and change the permissions, then it should run without issues.

I'm running rooted stocked 2.1...5 with this mod installed. I tried to put it in the system/app folder because there is some room in there, since I removed some apps, but it did not like it. It just kept foreclosing it.
Any idea how to put it in there or even replace the original HTC_IME?
could have something to do with it being made for the nexus one

i've made one from there, and installed it. I didn't push it to /system/app.
try doing that.
also make sure you are using the low res option.

First make sure you downloaded the "lo" version, since Hero is low-res. And unpack the ZIP. It's not flashable, it's just zipped for convenience.
And then you can just install HTC_IME_lo.apk from your file manager by clicking it. There's no need to manually push it into /system/app. (It's registered differently from the default HTC_IME, so it can be installed like any normal application.) If you removed Clicker.apk while you were removing junk from /system/app, you'll need to reinstall that as well.
If you really want to replace the original HTC_IME, just rename HTC_IME_lo.apk to HTC_IME.apk and push it to /system/app. I think that's what you were trying to do before.
Hope this helps!
Oh, sorry I guess I forgot to mention that it is running fine in the user folder after installing it. It's just that I wanted to put in the system/app folder to save some space. I'll try renaming it and replacing with the stocked file. BTW, I'm typing on it now and its way better than the stocked because of how much customization you can do.
I finally tied this and it's a no go. Still get FC messages. However, all seems fine when I install it as an app. I think it's because the HTC_IME.odex file which is tied to the original. Even after rebooting it didn't work.
Anyone know how to get that odex file from the new HTC_IME I'm trying to install in the system/app folder?
I couldn't find an appropriate thread to place this under, but this looked like the most logical.
I recently rooted my phone and installed a custom rom on it. The Smoked Glass v6.0.1. I find the default apps very annoying and found a way to make them disapear. I changed the .apk file in the/system/app section to .bak.
Well in this rom the Voice Search app is also connected with the Android keyboard. If I remove the Voice Search I also remove the virtual keyboard. The app is called VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk.
So I changed it to .bak and tried to install the android stock keyboard called LatinIME.apk. I also found the libjni_latinime.so. I pushed these to my phone using the SDK tool. One to the /system/lib and the other to /system/app. When I booted my phone up I didn't get the keyboard. So I also pushed the LatinIME.odex over to the /system/app file and it still didn't work. The phone ended up not being able to boot up, so I had to go into flash recovery and back up the phone.
So I am just wondering what am I doing wrong? I know this may not make sense as to why I just don't deal with the extra icon. But I don't know, I just want it perfect I quess.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I installed the theme but since I use stock launcher, I don't like the way it sets up the toolbar.
Does anyone have the white/transparent-like Search widget for ICS 4.0? Thanks!
From the guys who made the ICS theme here on XDA, in attachment
It's a widget, put the apk in /system/app and reboot.

I copied it to system/app and changed permission, reboot, but I only see the original search widget.. could you help me out?
I checked for all read (Owner, Group, Others) and write only for Owners. Execute is blank for all.
Do I have to rename the apk file?
works fine with me, did nothing but copied it

Nope it should work just like that... Permissions indeed are rw-r--r-- like all system apps.
It should pop up in the widgets list named "Google Search" and an empty (transparant) icon next to it. I'm using MV Rom with Go Launcher but I don't think that matters much

Weird....
So all you did was copy the apk (w/o renaming) to system/app, change permission and reboot?
I still see the Gingerbread Search Widget. Well, that's the only search widget I'm seeing now.
I have a stock launcher + CM7.1.0.1 + Trinity if that matters, unless we need a custom launcher?
Yes.
Maybe you should ask the fine folks who made it:

You need a root file explorer or ADB to navigate there.

it is in the Market Tiwiz ICS Search Bar that does not work for me :-(
there is another that work fine... Custom ICS Search Widget
retired now from the Market, do not know why???? If somebody has one and post it here thanks...
Why don't you just use an ICS ROM and get the real thing ? Alternatively there a bunch of them on the market, especially with GO! Launcher themes. Do a quick Market search

I love this search widget/mod too, not sure why they took it off of the market.
Here is the APK : Download Link

For those that don't know, try changing the owner of the APK to "root - 0" for both owner and group, using Root Explorer, as well as changing the permissions to rw-r-r (read previous posts for instructions).
Is there any in existence? I mean roman's tweaks settings, for adding battery percentage and crt animations for our phone.

have you tried hitting up Blue, since he is the keeper of the ROM that roman started? otherwise, how about pulling the tweaks.apk out of a Bulletproof ROM and putting it into /system/app of your current ROM? i'm not sure if it's that simple or not, but could be worth a try.

What you can do is use Root Explorer to move it to /system/app while the phone is on, then set the permissions (long press on it, permissions is in the menu that pops up - scroll down) to look like the permissions of every other file in the /app folder.
Edit: to quote myself from explaining how to do it before:
Stop all apps that require market licensure to work, halt the market processes, delete the old vending.apk. Then you have to delete the market data directory at /data/data/com.android.vending and find the dalvik-cache file that belongs to the market ( [email protected]@[email protected] ) and delete that too.
Then you rename the new market .apk file to Vending.apk and use root explorer to copy it into your /system/app directory. Once there, you long-press on the Vending.apk file and select 'permissions' from the menu that pops up.
Change the permissions to read/write for owner, read for group, read for others, and nothing for the bottom 3 check boxes. Now it reads rw-r--r-- like all the other apps in the /system/app directory.
Then you reboot your phone and it should work, but you should clear the whole dalvik-cache in recovery, and you should clear cache in recovery too, so all the dependencies on the market get rebuilt the right way.

Then, reboot the phone, and see how much of the app works.
You should be able to get it installed that way, but if not my thread on Replacing the Google Market would be a good place to start learning how to make your own flashable zip file.
Just replace the market with whatever app you can't push to /system/app normally and you should be good.
Some third party apps don't run well or at all from the /system/app partition, they just expect to be in /data/app ... but some will. The one you're playing with works fine from in the /system/app directory.
Might want to look into this thread by Romanbb: Extended Quick Settings as well.
Romanbb's awesome tweaks are worth the work - I couldn't imagine using the device without them now, and am definitely looking at playing with it some. The one thing i'm struck by as a user more then anything else, i'd like to be able to change the order of the quick settings in the actual pull-down menu.
I want flashlight first, full settings second, then i'll figure out the rest of the order as I go, but both volume settings go dead bottom with me.
I haven't had the time to sit down and do it, but that's the next ability i'm interested in acquiring with regards to that. I can't wait to get my phone back so I can start making some progress again.
Meantime, i'll be in and out and others floating around here I know can steer you right if you need it - you lose nothing 'cept time for trying (you did do backups before you started playing around, right?).
Hi, I made Tweak.zip (i extracted tweak.apk from booletproof 1.1) for flash it by CWM, but don't works fine.
After flashed, the app is in /system/app with 0644 permissions, but with no visible changes, where was i wrong?
Can you help me? In attach my file.

The tweaks need coded into the ROM, It's not as simple as just installing the apk, I would think some SystemUI smali needs edited also for any tweaks to Rosie, the Rosie.apk smali files will need an edit, so it knows what to change otherwise your just looking at the possibilities of the tweaks app.
I just did a Rosie remap for my Sense 2.1+3.0 Speedy ROM, and even though the option had always been in MikTweaks I had decompile tweaks to activate the remap option for my ROM ( by default It's turned off for Sense 2.1 ROMS ). Then I had to decompile Rosie and make the smali change. Then compile and resign both apps and i was good.

If you are really needing those tweaks, you can use the kitchen to apply most of them.
Compile? Decompile? More difficult for me then... I abadone the idea to realize Tweaks.zip.
Sorry.

Hi, I hope someone can help me with my problem:
I run an HTC Sensation, with the latest ICS leak, and have a mod I want to apply, which is an AOSP-ized Settings.apk.
The problem is that if I adb push it onto the phone (/system/app), it does not show in the main menu, like its not installed.
BUT if I first install the stock Settings.apk, boot the phone, reboot into CWM and then flash the modded Settings.apk, it works just fine...
Does the stock Settings.apk alter anything that the second one needs?
I am attaching the modded one if anyone would be willing to help me find the problem...
Thanks!
Kristof
I've got a similar issue.
I wish to install an AOSP settings.apk & settingsUI.apk but I can't find the directory to paste them in. I then made a folder and placed them in there and installed them via ES File Explorer and the changes weren't applied.
