Just kidding! Have you tried downloading CROMI and extracting the apk and then give installing that a try? I'm not with my backups now, but I might have the files needed in there (I know I have the static wallpapers in there, not sure about the live wallpapers).
Asus seem to put some checks in some of their apps. Sometimes they check that the device is on the correct DPI, others check the keys in the build.prop. So it's worth trying but don't be surprised if it fails and the app needs modding to get it working

Not sure if this should be in the Nexus forums per say; but, I'm working ON a Nexus so I guess it does, lol.
I edited the stock clock apk to make themes for it. They all work flashing them through clockwork. However, I wanted to make it as an app for non rooted phones to use. I could take a free clock from the market and theme it; but, I'd much rather use the stock apk.
I edited the name in the manifest; which, stopped the system from seeing it being installed already. However, when it tried to install it still ended up failing.
How would I go about changing whatever I need in the apk to in turn, almost, turn it into a different app. As far as the system thinks anyways.
Thanks
Trailblazer101's Modified Camera
Alright Guys, here it is Released within a reasonable amount of time, too haha
This Camera has the GPS Tagging feature added back in Which I find to be a very nice feature I also added in the "Battery Alert Removal" and "Call Alert Removal" mods too...
This is OUR original Camera modded, not one copy and pasted from the Fascinate... I spent the better half of three-ish days looking over GizmoDroid's modified Camera for the Fascinate (which I am thankful for, and you all should be too! :]), and porting over the GPS specific features into ours You should notice the Ticker still gets locked when opening the Camera, so all the other specific features for our phone are still in tact so basically a lot of work went into this...
As always, I need to proclaim that this is only for deodexed Rom... So stock roms directly from the store will not work! That, and you being on EC07, but that should be obvious by now
Now, time for the downloads! Just rename appropriately and copy and paste the apk over the original in /system/app Of course, you need to be rooted to do so

I still love you man! XD
good job as always! cant wait see what final .apk looks like
Just tried it. Works perfectionately.

Has anyone tried this modified camera with EC09?
It doesn't seem that many people had much to say about this mod, and just recently I finally had it happen where I went to use my camera but the low battery warning prevented me from doing so.
I decided to give it a shot. It didn't work for me. I renamed camera.apk in my system/app folder and then put Trailblazer101's camera.apk in that folder. It wouldn't launch for me, even after reboot. I was able to rename the original and get the old camera back, but I wondered if there was something I should have done differently, or if anyone had gotten this to work with EC09.

I've thought about trying it, but I haven't gotten to it, yet. I would try moving the stock camera completely out of the /system/apps folder (to sdcard), myself. The only concern I would have is the same issue that is going on with the phone dialer. If the certificate date is different from that of camera firmware, it may cause havoc.

I would like the ability for the stock ICS launcher to rotate based on the phone orientation. Obviously the launcher supports it because it will go landscape when used in any of the various docks.
Back on the Atrix OG, the NoattachTrix4G ROM had the install-time option to make the stock launcher rotate based on orientation, so there must be a way to modify something that allows the launcher to rotate without having to be in a dock. Has anyone looked into that and knows how to do it? In the worst case, I can try to find time to look at the NoattachTrix install script to see what it does (or, if it is just installing a new framework or whatever, get that file and see what was changed).
In the meantime, I was just wondering if anyone else may have already looked into it.
Yup. In GB it was a simple edit in the BlurHome2.apk's AndroidManifest.xml. I think it's the same in ICS, but in the homescreen.apk.
Look for this line and change "nosensor" to "sensor":
Code:
android:screenOrientation="nosensor"
The problem is signatures. You could probably edit your own and push it back to your phone without signing w/ no issues.. maybe. But, really a bunch of system apks need to be re-signed with the same key if you change one AndroidManifest.. so it would have to be included in a rom, or a big zip package to replace all of the re-signed apks..
Sent from my phone's mind
Can't the signing issues be resolved by using Eclipse?

I'm currently looking through all the info on how to do this (but I'm not in any hurry)...I've installed Eclipse on my Ubuntu system, looking through the other threads and tools. I have dragged my feet on doing this now for the past year because I know how I am with all this and it has the potential to take more time away from my necessary activities.
Ok, I starting learning how to do all this. I decompiled the apk, made the change, recompiled, but didn't want to take the time to make it work.
So, while reading an article on the Nexus 7, I came across two apps that allow the homescreen to rotate without mods:
Ultimate Rotation Control ($2.99): I tried it but thought I would try the free one first
Rotation Locker (Free): Using this one now. Doesn't restart with the phone. Make sure you are using the background method (long press "Auto").
Both of the above applications let the Moto homescreen rotate as well as any other apps that insist on being in portrait mode, but I'm trying the free on first to see if any issues show up.
Just upgraded to tweeked 3 and have some problems:
1. I can't find the voicemail app & don't know how to call VM. where do I get the app?
2. Buddies now is missing. Won't restore via titanium backup.
3. I migrated from eclipse rom. How do I get the eclipse rom keyboard and colors?
4. Howdo Irestore the default power on and power off animations?
5. Verizon Data APP / My veerizon forces close on startup.
I think that is it for now. Will post when I have some time to play with it.

1. You don't need the app for voicemail. Just dial *86 or hold down 1 in the dialer.
2. Buddies now is considered bloat and you can only use it on the stock launcher anyway. If you want it it is in tweaktools.
3. I believe eclipse keyboard was either a themed ICS or themed Swype (I don't remember which - it was too long ago). Either way both are available if you search. As for the colors - since Nitro stopped working on the charge we don't have that, but there are a lot of themes on tweaktools.
4. Tweaktools
5. It works fine for me. Could be a bad flash, could be something else.
And I guess we have another nocturnal person here.
The vvm stuff was also deemed bloat, but all of that stuff can be restored using tweaktools OR the system apps and system app flasher in the tweaked op. Jihad has you covered on the rest (thanks Jihad).
I got the verizon app to work after deleting and reinstalling. The rest I can live with till I have a chance to research Tweaktools. Most of the stuff is minor and just me being picky as I'm not yet used to the tweeked ROM.
Tweakedtools: doesn't seem to be working. I can get into the menu and install a theme and buddies now, but they don't act as though they ever got installed. even rebooted. What the heck?

You don't have CWM installed? I doubt it works with stock recovery. When you installed Tweaked did you use the Odin version without CWM? You should get and install CWM.
The only 2 boot animations that work are Stock Galaxy S boot and Stock DROID boot. They use the Samsung format that works with the stock kernel. Themes should work though.
Ok. Now I understand. I did use oden version without cwm. Now I need to oden cwm and I'll be good to go.
EDIT:
Thanks for the info, everything works.
Now I need to find a suitable keyboard---possibly one that mirrors the one in the eclipse rom.
On another note, I'm not all that happy with any of the included themes. How to I create the theme I want?
If you know Java and smali, you can rip apart the framework and make your own theme.

I have no idea on how to work with Java or what smali is.
I do have the old eclipse ROM. can't i take the theme files from there and somehow load them to the phone?
Regarding the keyoard, I couldn't get that swipe one to install as the app keeps asking me to login and I don't know how to generate a username and password. I'm now thinking that it was a Samsung keyboard, but I could be wrong.
Smali is basically the decompiled Android version of Java. In Android, everything gets packed up in .dex files for the Dalvik VM (Android's optimized version of the Java VM), and when you decompile them, you get Smali. It's like Java, but "distorted", for lack of a better word. If you know how to read Java, you can feel your way around, but it's different enough that even if you're good with Java, you'll have to relearn some things for Smali.
well...I did some searching on line and I think the stock theme that comes preloaded at the factory is what I want to get back to. Also the default Samsung keyboard is the one I want.
I'm leaning towards tossing tweaked out the window rather than getting frustrated. If I do that what do I loose and how would I add root to stock?
also, I can't manage to get the phone to vibrate when i tap the screen. Haptic feedback. How do I turn it on?

No. What you think of as "files" are a series of edits in the framework. Obviously the framework for Tweaked is for Tweaked, and Eclipse is for Eclipse. If you're going to try to interchange these things you may as well just reinstall Eclipse.
For Swype, I'm not sure what you're talking about. There's a big honking button that says "register" on the website.

Not sure what you're looking at. The theme in Eclipse is NOTHING like the dickbutt gold (or pumpkin and poo) in stock. And the stock Samsung keyboard is God awful. Why not try something like SwiftKey 3? Swype is pretty good too, and it's free.
To root after restocking, all you would need to do is flash the SuperUser or SuperSU (whichever is your preference) zip in CWM. When you move from Tweaked (the only current custom ROM on the charge, by the way) you lose essentially everything. Dwitherell has put in numerous tweaks to improve the UI speed, and he has put in TSM parts... Plus you'll be back to the bloated whale this phone is at stock.
I believe most of the haptic feedback was removed in Tweaked because most view it as an annoying useless feature. I could be completely wrong but I don't really feel anything even though my haptic feedback is on.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
I did nothing that would add or eliminate haptic feedback (outside of the entry in tsmparts, but I did nothing to hook that in if it needed hooking). Also, the stock samsung keyboard is called AxT9IME.apk. Sorry Tweaked is not to your liking. Have you tried the tw4 theme? That seems closer to the stock look at least. I didn't think anyone used it, but I can do a little work and get a stock theme variant together if you want. Also, rumor is some theme options will be added/returning soon...
And for what its worth flashing something different is a far better alternative then anything to do with a window.
Thanks for all the useful info. I must start by saying that i do like tweaked. It is much faster than what i had with eclipse. That said im not sure how much is due.to the rom and what is due.to the upgrade ota. I believe its mostly the rom. Way to go!
As for colors im not opposed to whats available im just used to what i had. The big complaint is that the calendar widgit does not have black text on a white background. Its not as legible but not horible. I can live with it. Im surprised there is no way to change colors like there is in windows control panel. Or an app for that. Oh well.
Thanks for.the keyboard.info. I'll take a look for it at lunch. As for missing the register button...it was to early to be doing anything tech.
Im sure that over time ill get more used to tweaked and be glad ro be uding it.
One last request...stock shutdown animation
Thats enough for now.

To be fair most of the speed change is due to the OTA - most of the edits made were the same as they were in the FP1 version, so I can't really take credit for that sort of thing. I don't have nor do I pretend to have the sort of skill necessary to do such things
As far as the stock shutdown animation, if there's some interest I could try to get that together. It required a number of framework.jar edits to switch the shutdown animation focus from reading a .qmg file to displaying a sequence of .pngs, so I would have to undo that sort of thing to make the shutdown.qmg work again. It wouldn't be too hard, so if there's some interest in that I can put something together and throw it on tweaktools.
I have interest but am not sure who else does and if its worth the time.
I googled the keyboard apk and downloaded it but it will not install. Is there a certain version that i need?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
FWIW, I really lock the Tweaked Shutdown animation. Just need to find a sound byte to go with that (for those occasions when my phone shuts down without me knowing) - thinking of getting something from Southpark's tweak.
as for keyboards, have you tried ICS Keyboard? best in my experience.
Ice is not my thing. I just like the Samsung keyboard best. Just can't find a copy that installs.
Also what about stock screenshot setting?

I've finally got round to rooting and putting on a custom ROM on my TF101 after 2 years of ownership! Does anyone have a link for the original (or updated) dayscene live wallpaper for the TF101. I've googled it and I've had problems installing a few of the ones I've tried.
The only one that works for me is the updated one on Galaxy 10 thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638541] which looks good in landscape but is "letterboxed" in portrait if I scroll to a left or right Homescreen.

Check your inbox, I sent you a link. Reason I keep it private is I'm not sure of the implications of this backup, since it's somewhat of a built-in app and I don't want to send a backup to the open.
This is a Titanium Backup Pro (5.6.0) backup dump from the original stock firmware. You should be able to restore it through the non-pro version as well. Your problems could also be with the ROM you're using, assuming different settings/configs/versions for the entire GFX part.
I'm using the latest Asus stock rom + root and I have no issues whatsoever with 10+ live wallpapers, so I would tend to think the issue is with your ROM.
Let me know how it works out!

I've downloaded and I'll try it through Titanium in the next couple of days and let you know how it works. One thing I noticed is the file size seems pretty small but maybe that's a Titanium compression thing? I'll let you know.

@ Lethe6
I tried to restore through Titanium (I have the PRO version too) and it imports the file successfully but then when it tries to restore, it just sticks on the spinning icon forever. First I thought it was because the files inside the zip are pretty big but I left it for over 10 mins and it was still "restoring" when I got back so I killed it. I tried it through the "alternative" restore option it suggests if the first one doesn't work but no luck there either. (I'm on the EOS JB ROM so I don't know if that's a factor).
Thanks for sending it anyway.
@ *Detection*
That's actually the one I've downloaded and was using (and referenced in my post) . It's fine in landscape, but in portrait it's cut off on the sides so I've got a black strip on either side when I scroll to one of the other homescreens. Not the end of the world but annoying all the same! I think it's optimised for the Tab which has a different screen res.

Ah damn sorry, totally missed your link in OP
If you're wanting the original one from the TF101, can't you grab a ROM from ASUS and extract it / custom ROM from one of the devs
EDIT - Just extracted a backup I had, not sure how long ago its from but it had the wallpaper you're after in system/app
.apk
http://localhostr.com/files/jM3sIAg/AsusDayScene.apk
.odex

Don't know if you can just drop them into system/app and then reboot, or if they need modding, but worth a shot
