[Q] How to make facebook display my phone model? Or any other for that matter :) - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Like when we changed our Facebook status from stock ROM it displayed "Sent via HTC Sense", but now I am on CM9 and it just shows "Sent from mobile".
So how do I change that? Will changing the phone model in build.prop have any effect on that?

You cannot. It is because in stock rom you were on the sense framework

So, the only solution is back to Stock Rom with Sense, or using any Custom Rom with sense?

Hi... do u have the apk file of facebook, which u were using while runnin the stock ROM (in ur sd card or somewhere)...?
If so, after updating to CM9.., dont download the fb's apk from the google now or play..
instead, "install the fb.apk from the SD card which u were using for the previous ROM.."
Sure it'll work..
Cos, i'm usin some of the applications like "Mobile dialer,Free sms india, etc".., which i used in the old stock ROM...!!
Try for it and Kindly Let me Know...!!

It won't work... It wasn't the facebook app which displayed "Sent from HTC Sense" but the Friend Stream app. And I did keep it for a while after changing ROMs, but couldn't install it. Kept saying Installation Failed. Even copying to app folder using a Root Explorer wasnt working. So gave up and deleted the whole thing.

Looks nice, but where did you put the Exchange-Sync?
Please tell me, you didn't remove it with the "and the remaining waste"
Also, your Calendarwidget shows an error on loading. I foolishly didn't note which one, and removed the widget by now, but on your screenshot it looks nice

If you could put the Exchange-functionality back in, that would be very nice
I hate Sense, I like what you do.
Why do you choose the ADW launcher, LinkSD are not that GO Launcher, A2SDGUI?
I hope you would bring Google calendar back. Fix google search, make gtalk can video call.

You just need Mail.apk for exchange features. A 3rd party obscure app is not required.

Hmm, doesn't work.
If i install this through CWM, i don't have the Exchange-Entry in the Settings, but it gets copied to /system/app
If i want to start it manually from /system/app, i get something like "Cannot Install"("Anwendung nicht installiert").
Ideas?

Stock SMS (MMS) App

Dear Friends,
Of the various customs Roms that are out there, i did notice a few lags in the messaging application.
So here is the standard SMS default application, without any themes. No Mods have been cerried out except for the foll:
1. MSG txt size increased
2. MSG receipients increased
INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE, THIS APP IS NOT MEANT FOR YOU IF YOU ARE USING ANY VERSION OF THE CyanogenMod MOD
PLEASE NOTE THAT INSTALLING THIS ON A CYANOGENMOD WILL CRASH THE DEFAULT SMS APP
Attached is a bootable CRM file.
Mount system and flash in CRM mode
i installed this but i wanted to get back to the stock mms anyone plz reply how do i get back to the original stock mms apk?

Sent from my GT-S5670 using XDA App
dude i dont know what do u mean by the original app
This is the original app only without any visual mods.
ANyways to port back to ur OG try the following
You owuld be having a deodex version of ur rom. If not, loook it up on XDA
Unzip my zip folder and replace the MMS.apk from the deodex rom
Zip the file
Flash in CWM
be careful when ur zipping the file. Make sure the file structure is the same as the one which i have uploaded. Else it shall not work
Original in my sense is your app has some modifications right i am talking about the original stock app with no modification
How to get back to that?

[HOW-TO] No music controls in notification bar for GB

Hi
This is how to remove the music controls in the notification bar if you deleted the LG music player and installed another one instead:
1. Get your SystemUI.apk from your ROM
2. Decompile it.
3. Open /res/Layout/indi_music_control_bar.xml
4. Change at the end of the second line
android:layout_height="77.32999dip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
into
android:layout_height="0.0dip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Compile it
6. Replace the old SystemUI.apk and reboot.

Has something changed in Gingerbread? Because in Froyo, I just launch the Music app, press Menu, tap Settings and uncheck the option that says Show notification, that's all. Works as charm.
By the way, how come you guys have stock Optimus 3D Gingerbread? Mine with Froyo says there are no updates available.

If you delete the LG music app, the controls are still there, even if you disabled them in the app before uninstalling. Is you device a branded one?

I did not delete the app, I have it in the phone, I just don't use it. I simply unchecked the setting and the controls are no longer there.
Since I got the device from a carrier, I am not 100% sure if it is not branded (I did not compare the ROM version), but:
a) It is not that usual in our country to sell branded devices
b) There is no carrier logo on the front or back cover
c) There is no carrier logo in boot animation
d) There are no custom carrier-specific apps
So I tend to believe it is not branded.

Alright i decided to extract the zip file and in the config it says:
[CYANOGENMOD AND STOCK ROMS SUPPORT]
###############################################################
MULTIPLATTFORM=no
###############################################################
(yes,no)
*It gives to the "modders" the posibility to add and indentify
the resources for "stocks" and "cyanogenmods" bases by only
adding the "CMOD#" prefix to the cyanogenmod files. Note that
we'll need to add it ONLY when we need to specify differents
versions of the same file and if the file is compatible with
both of them, we don't have to add anything. If the process
detects two versions of the same file it will determine which
one is the correct plattform parsing the "/system/build.prop"
looking for the "ro.build.host=cyanogenmod" string. Remember
that it would have an impact on the application time depending
on the amount of files included.
If you don't need this feature, you must keep it disabled.
e.g
>In the morph proccess, you can add in the same folder:
/MORPH/Phone.apk/CMOD#resources.arsc (only for cyanorom)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/resources.arsc (only for stock)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/CMOD#classes.dex (only for cyanorom)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/classes.dex (only for stock)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/res/drawable/blablabla.xml (for both)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/res/drawable/blublublu.png (for both)
etc..
>And the same for the XTRA files:
/XTRAS/system/etc/CMOD#blablabla.xml (only for cyanorom)
/XTRAS/system/etc/blablabla.xml (only for stock)
/XTRAS/data/app/CMOD#blablabla.apk (only for cyanorom)
/XTRAS/data/app/blablabla.apk (only for stock)

Go to system/app in file explorer on that ROM u downloaded and u will be able to tell what app is themed as you look at them. Then put the app u want in ur original system/app using a file manager with root. Then reboot. Its ok if u replace the app

I'm just like you. Heres how you make it use the defaults.
You'll need to be able to write to /system, so use a custom rom or recovery.
Look in /system/fonts
You'll see android-emojii.ttf and android-emoti-htc.tff. The system is using the htc version. Simply swap the names so the regular one is named with the -htc and the one that was -htc is named regular, then reboot. Stock Emojiis.
Perfect! Thanks so much. Working after a reboot. You saved (part of) my sanity!
Worked great! Thanks so much!
Anyone know how to get the HTC ones over to AOSP? I tried copying the HTC file over and renaming but the emojis are in black and white.

If your still running the stock rom the kernel has write protection. Use a custom ROM or recovery to do it.

If you want the HTC ones back, swap the filenames back again. All your doing is changing the font its using for emojiis.
