I applied a theme, and a few of JChi's mods to my ROMs, and was wondering if I could put them all together and either do a .bat or .zip?
I'm not sure about pushing files because of the theme, etc, (which would be done in bat)
Any help is appreciated.
no search results for

combining zips
which mods do you want done?
I'm assuming you're asking, cause you'll zip it up for me, and it is appreciated, but is there a thread/tutorial in this? Do I just need to "sign" it?
1. Stock_Espresso - on DC updater
2. JChi - No End Call Button MOD
3. JChi - No Clock in Taskbar
4. Vanilla Lockscreen
5. Custom boot that I have
Thanks for the response!
THanks again

I actually grew a pair and am attempting to do this myself.
Nandroid first
Give it a whirl!
awesome man! if you check the 2.1 themes thread, and look for my name in the table of contents, I posted a theme that is pretty much exactly what you are trying to do.....plus some stuff that i liked. If you rip it open, you should be able to see exactly what you need to do to make yours work. Have fun! If you need any help, post over there and someone will give you a hand.

Awesome, I had some trouble with the syntax in the update script but got some help from some good posts, and a few failed attempts!
I think I got it working, my custom bootscreen is currently on, but for some reason I think it moved my dalvik-cache from my sd to ROM, not sure how that is going to work out...haha.
See if it all worked once I'm booted.
yeah, update scripts give me fits sometimes. I normally "borrow" mine from others and then modify them to fit my needs. But then, I'm a cheater

Well I messed something up because it tries to load espresso and it just restarts my boot screen again...haha.
I did have a number of failed flash attempts so I'm going to restore my nandroid and restart, make sure we're good, then re-flash my update.zip and see if it fixes itself.
I tihnk it could be the dalvik cache is too much (considering how many apps I have installed, etc.) and its causing problems.
Not sure what would have reset the DC.conf file....Oh well...here's to troubleshooting!
UPDATE
Got it up and running.
First time I've zipped and signed files. Now I just have to get the courage to edit and make themes! LOL.
Myself and apparently many others like the AOSP apps better than the sense apps. I find the interface for the AOSP messaging, calendar, browser, calculator, and dialer/contacts applications to be more attractive and in some cases more usable. I really liked Bugless Beast 0.4 since it featured these applications, but I have had a hard time with the bug that keeps disk drive from working, and there are various reports of some syncing and battery issues. The EVO-NonSense series has been great too, but I use HDMI out sometimes and like having some of the sense stuff installed. Big thanks to both BuglessPete and tjohnsonjr for their AOSP work.
(7/18/2010) I have attached some of the files I have been using, see descriptions at the bottom of the post.
So since it took a little digging for me to figure out how to do this (even though to advanced users this is easy) I thought it might come in handy for other new users. Additionally I'm hoping by posting this someone can help me figure out how to get the dialer/contacts stuff working, I have the others working fine.
I've done the below on DamageControl, and I think another (baked snack maybe, can't remember). I'll probably throw together an update.zip that can patch these in place later, but I'd rather get the dialer/contacts part figure out first.
Setup:
1. You will need a fully rooted (toast root part 2, NAND unlocked) phone, and adb up and running. There are several explanations for both parts, but the ones listed in the "useful threads" sticky are joeykrim's for adb and toast's part 1 and part 2 for root.
2. I have been using the apk's from BuglessPete's bugless beast 0.4 ROM. The thread for it is available here.
Once you unzip the file, you will find the needed apks in the /system/app folder.
Note: Please donate to pete, he doesn't even have an EVO yet and is doing some great work. Hopefully if he has a phone to work on he can get some of these small bugs squashed and keep the development for BB going.
3. Backup your phone. If you don't know how to reboot into recovery and restore from a nandroid backup, you do not want to do this yet, especially if you want to try help me figure out how to get the dialer running. The idea with the dialer is to try different things until something works. In all likelihood you will hit a point where things are FCing so much you can't do anything. You will almost certainly need to restore from a Nandroid backup at some point.
Important: More than likely anything I list here can't break a phone in a way that a nandroid restore won't fix, but I can not and will not be accountable for any problems with your phone.
Which files:
One nice thing about adding files this way is you can pick and choose what to use. If you like the stock messaging but want the AOSP calendar, you can do just that.
Calculator: Calculator.apk
Calendar: CalendarProvider.apk and Calendar.apk
Default "Navigator" application: CarDock.apk <- you can keep both
Internet: Browser.apk and HTMLViewer.apk <- doesn't show previews of each tab, but allows up to 8 instead of 4. There may be other functionality gained or lost, I dunno.
Clock: DeskClock.apk (can exist beside HTC clock, and can be installed without this procedure)
Messaging (SMS, Text): Mms.apk <- Many people have trouble with this one.
####### Not Working! See post #2 ########
# Phone: Phone.apk, ContactsProvider.apk, Contacts.apk
###################################
To install:
I think you can use adb to do this install with the files still on the computer, but I go ahead and throw all the needed apks onto my sdcard, typically in a folder. Also, if you need to be in the Android SDK's /tools directory to use adb (this depends on your configuration) do that. Connect your phone, and make sure it is in "Charge Only" so the sdcard stays mounted. To make sure adb sees the phone properly issue:
Code:
adb devices
and you should get a return listing the device ID. If so we will mount the /system partition as read-write:
Code:
adb remount
Log into the phones local shell:
Code:
adb shell
you are now on the phones command line and file system, not on your local machine. Now we can start installing files. I'll use Calculator in this example, and I have the apk in a folder on the sdcard called AOSP_apks:
Code:
install /sdcard/AOSP_apks/Calculator.apk /system/app
You can do a couple at a time, and you must do more than one at a time when installing a provider like CalendarProvider.apk and Calendar.apk.
Once you are done, exit the phone's shell, and reboot the phone:
Code:
exit
adb reboot
The change may show up immediately, but the phone and applications aren't designed to change these core functions on the fly, so make sure to reboot the phone. Once it reboots you will probably notice the AOSP icon has replaced the former, and you have the AOSP skin and/or functionality.
Post #2 will deal with progress so far on the dialer/contacts.
(added 7/17) Notes on different apks: The BB Launcher2.apk has his skin on the google search widget, or grab the apk from something else like DC for stock. Launcher.apk from BB is the one with the wide drawer and (I think) 9 screens.
Music.apk from DC is the modded music app from Cyanogen. It has some very nice UI tweaks.
Attached:
- Music.apk used in Cyanogenmod from DC
- Calendar, CalendarProvider, Browser and HTMLViewer from BB 0.4
- CarDock, Calculator, and MMS from AOSP EVO-NonSense
Contacts/Dialer Progress: I'm sure some of the more advanced developers know the answer to this, so ideally someone can fill me in. In the meantime I'll report my findings here, and if others can add feedback to the thread on what they have done, I'll update this post. Hopefully in the long run there will be a straightforward explanation for this I can add to the above post.
I have installed the three files listed above (ContactsProvider.apk, Contacts.apk, and Phone.apk) which seems to install the right bits, but I get FCs.
Later on I added Telephony.apk and FutureDialService.apk, which didn't improve anything. Finally I noticed that Bugless Beast didn't have HTCDialer.apk, so I removed that as well. I think this was the point things went from the dialer and contacts applications FCing to non-stop FCs that kept me from doing anything on the phone.
Attached are the three apps I'm sure are involved for the Contacts/Dialer, pulled from tjohnsonjr's AOSP EVO. More files may be needed, but I'm still trying to figure out which.
The Dialer/Contacts apk used to work, I believe on ROMs that are not based off the newest OTA. Since it worked for me, but stopped once I started using ROMs based of the newest OTA. Anyways great post.
I installed the files and I cant see them. They're in the folders but its like they're hidden from the OS.
I tried to do this before since I love BB but the wake bug in v4 was killing me. I always got install errors. Did you delete the Mms.apk first.. THEN install Mms.apk and reboot? Or did you just install over it? I got errors either way. Also it totally disabled texting on my phone even after reinstalling the HTC Mms.apk.
I had to clean cache/reset then reflash my Nand backup and even then my texting was still broken until I sent one to my wife and then magically I got the 10-15 test "texts" I had sent.

Thanks and thanks. This is interesting. Of course BB is based on the older ROM, so maybe that is why BB works but this doesn't. I'll have to grab an older ROM and try that. It may be an issue of grabbing a newer build of the dialer or something.

Did it overwrite the existing files? Or do you totally not have whatever you installed, AOSP or sense? Which ROM and version?

Were you able to successfully do the adb remount first? The way I did it just overwrote the existing Mms.apk.

BBv3 and yes the remount worked.. I am currently in my 84th hour of a long battery duration test so I can't plug it in and try it right now since it will wipe my stats. However it would give some "parse" error and then fail to install. If I forced it by just cp'ing the apk and chmod'ing the exec permissions it would fail horribly.
84th hour of a battery duration test? details please?

Was it something like
Code:

If so, I had the same error when I didn't have the /system partition fully mounted as read-write. Did you get any errors from the "adb remount" command?

Hmmm maybe I did and didn't notice it.. I am down to 8% right now so by mid day my battery will probably die. I am hoping to make the 100Hr on one charge mark, after that I will try again and note any errors.

ok so I just redid your steps and I didn't get the error code this time (maybe my remount didn't work the last time I tried it). But now I get FC everytime I try and launch the text app. I installed over the Htc mms.apk =(
Anyone got an HTC Mms.apk handy they can post so I don't have to restore nand?
If you have the AOSP apps available, could you please post them all in .zip folder in the OP?

NVM I extracted it from an old nand backup. So, for me at least the Mms.apk from AOSP causes FCs and won't run at all . Put the HTC Mms.apk back and it works fine. =( Urgh any hints?
edited to add the HTC Mms.apk incase someone does what I did and kills it, so they dont' have to go through the process of trying to extract it.

Interesting that you say that, since I had some MMS texts in my cache. Wondering if when the AOSP version couldn't deal with them so it just FC'ed instead.
So I tried that, deleting ALL my texts so it wouldn't have some MMS collision or something. But that didn't work either, HTC Mms.apk works fine.. the AOSP.apk FC's. Could the OP or something with a working AOSP Mms.apk post it maybe it's my copy. Mine has an MD5 of : 441e3b8863bc3ab88ce6ad9bc1671f22
I have mms messages in my cache too. The AOSP apk shows them fine, just can't send new mms messages. Maybe your file is corrupt?

I going to upload all the AOSP apks that I include in my ROMs when I get home tonight.
Can you tell us how you got contacts.apk to work? I'm trying with FreshRom and I pulled the Contacts.apk from your Rom and it won't recognize the file when I push it using adbshell. The file is in the app folder but android ignores it.

Guys,
Since SMS / USSD Mod can be done successfully on XOOM 3G, MZ601 Devices, I thought to ask if you guys need to test this on MZ602, MZ616 Rooted Devices.
For that, I need testers with the following devices:
1) MZ602, Some 4G LTE devices are thought to not be able to have SMS enabled because of carrier blocking... We will check about that..
2) MZ616,
I will also give a script for roll-back procedure in case the MOD doesn't work...

Shoot it this way my friend - I will test
I know that sms mods work wonders for non US GSM Xoom devices,
would love to see it work on US CDMA/LTE Xoom.
Im down to test as well. My xoom is on a granfathered plan that has unlimited data and texting.
BTW my xoom is the lte model
Great. Thank you guys...
So plz send me your framework-res.apk and your location/carrier.

Here is the MOD
SMS-USSD enabler for MZ616: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oacihj4kniap2qn
Rollback in case it doesn't work: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bqo75tl6k7nata2
How to install:
1) download both files to your XOOM SD CARD
2) reboot into recovery and flash the mod (enabler)
3) reboot to system
4) make sure you have your SIM mounted for 3G.
5) open the messaging app (will be installed by the mod) and send an sms to another number; or better if you use gosms pro from the market. and send from another number to the one in your XOOM (send/receive tests)
6) open phone and dial a ussd code *#1234#; the number is different from provide to provider.
7) test and report back.
8) upon failure, nothing works, flash the rollback zip from recovery to go back to your original framework.
Hi, I tested your framework-res.apk but had to install (and recover) it with adb and busybox, because I don't have a custom recovery. Afaik I can't install one at the MZ616 due to the locked boot rom. If you know a way to custom recovery like twrp, I would give it a try
The result of swapping the framework-res.apk was the tablet was hanging in the startup with the "waving" Motorola logo.
One thing I noticed was the size of the new file: with 4881 kb it was very small compared to the 8254 kb of the original one.
Is there anything I may have missed, or any other clues?

Aha, I thought you are rooted which to me should mean you have unlocked boot loader with custom recovery installed. Didn't know you don't have that sort of recovery not installed... you got a boot loop maybe because you used the stock recovery .
Don't worry about the size of file, it is just a matter of compression level during building the apk...
Unfortunately, I don't own mz616 and I yet don't know a way to get twrp on it. Please lease with runandhide05 who might be able to get twrp up and running on your device first.
I'm working with runandhide05 on custom recovery.
But I also made some progress with your framework-res.apk and mms.apk: I installed them again (just to be sure) over adb shell with busybox, and now it worked and my xoom 2 rebooted fine. Now I can receive SMS, but only one time to read with SMSPopup. Sending does not function (I'm using Go SMS). I don't see any other SMS app, but the phone app shown up. If I try to open phone, I only get the message that contacts won't responding. If I open contacts, everything shows up ok, only the phone links don't work. I get the message thart com.android.phone is not responding.
Hope that helps yuo investigating further.

On your ROM, stock one, do you have phoe.apk? Or MMS.apk without installing my mod?
I mean before you install my mod, can you check /system/app and see if you have MMS.apk there? If so, please send them to me. I am afraid the ones I included are for xoom1 family, not Xoom 2

Alright,
I did some modifications to your framework-res.apk;
Indeed, there was this config defined in your framework
"config_text_sms_receive" but there was no send config
What I did is that I added send configuration "config_text_sms_send" and complied it. Also, changed the MMS.apk to a generic one that works across devices. I decompiled the compiled APK and I can see it persists in bools.xml and in public.xml; therefore, the reference was created successfully.
From SmscSettings.apk that you sent, I can see the option that your device can set the SMS Center number. You may wanna try to check that and put the SMS center number the same as the one of your phone "of course from the same service provider". And then try. I hope this works for you know; I can't test it cuz I don't have MZ616 device.
Here is the link; download it and flash it. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2b317ejrp7my9ew
In case you need to rollback, couple of posts earlier I included the rollback to original framework.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
NOTE: I also enabled SIP capabilities for you; so I think you will be able to use your device as a SIP hub and SIP phone over IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem).
Hi, this is really good news. It is a shame that this function is left out of the deveices ...
Is there any chance for getting that running on the MZ608, ICS4.0.4 ?

Hi, sorry for the late feedback. I checked your new framework and mms and the new mms shown up as an app and could be started. But there is no change with sending SMS and also old received SMS are not seen by the apps (mms and go sms). Only the sms popup app is showing an incoming sms just one time. If I try to send a sms with mms, I get the message that mms is not responding. The other messages or behavior has not changed to the previous test. Could it be that one app is blocking access to the sim card?
Regards Lothar

Any news guys?
The Google Now Installer/Restorer v1.1
Purpose
There have been a lot of users with issues installing and uninstalling Google Now for ICS. This is my solution for those users.
This is only an installer for the many different variations of Google Now that were created in this news worthy thread: The Google Now for ICS Project
This installer allow user of different types of roms and devices to quickly install Google Now to see if it works for them and if it does not, it allows these users to restore their original Google Search.
This thread is not and will not be about issues with specific modded Google Now apks, go here: The Google Now for ICS Project for that. I have no problem incorporating new apks into the installer. But I will not attempt to deal with issues outside of the installer.
Testing(Green = working, Red = not working)
(Need more people to test as many different devices, roms, and recoveries)
Devices
HTC EVO 3D
HTC EVO 4g LTE
Roms
OTA_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2-2.17.651.5
Tranquility rls1b
Recoveries
CWM 5.0.2.0
TWRP s-on
So if you experience any issues, I will attempt to help, but understand that I if you are not setup the exact same, I may not know what is wrong.
Touch recovery is not active in this aroma installer, so use up and down to make a selection and the power button to confirm the selection.
Requirements
Rooted
ICS
CWM (only recovery tested, others may work, you let me know)
Instructions(should already know this, but here you go)
1. Transfer .zip to the root of your sd card
2. Boot into recovery
3. Select "install zip from sdcard"
4. Select "choose zip from sdcard"
5. Select "GoogleNowforICSInstaller_v1.0.zip"
6. Select "Install GoogleNowforICSInstaller_v1.0.zip"
Once the installer is up, the rest should be self explanatory, if not just follow the prompts.
I hope this helps someone.

I havent been following google now lately, but it seems that you're using stock rooted ics on evo where this works. is this also true for touchwiz phones?
will it work on stock rooted samsung?
Just checked it out on my HTC EVO 4g LTE running tranquility rls1b and TWRP s-on, works great back and forth. Thanks!

It should work on any ICS phone, but it has only been tested on the phone listed in the 1st post.
jdcasino confirms that it works on his HTC EVO 4g LTE.

yes, but if I remember correctly, touchwiz differs from sense in framework files or something. I have epic 4g touch. can anyone else confirm that google now can work on stock rooted touchwiz phone if /system space wasn't an issue?

Sure, give it a try.
edit: there may be an issue with the Installer not finding the original Google Search apk, someone posted this and basically it states that you may have a some extra characters at the end of the apk.

I don't think it has anything to do with sense or touchwiz, the modified Google Now was modded for AOSP, which doesn't have either, but has worked on HTC and Samsung.

Since it won’t let me post to the forum I thought I would just do it this way. On my Verizon S3 I’m rooted, unlocked, OTA kernel, running a stockish rom (cleanrom) and CMW 6.0.1.2. The installer said it worked but it broke Google search. In the installer it said everything was fine but nope. I went to do the restore and it said it couldn’t find the backup so I went with the one provided and that worked fine. When setting up I chose the first one which I think was v7 for arm7. If I chose wrong I’ll try again but otherwise I’ll just wait for an updated version. Unlike others I’m in no hurry and was just testing it out on my phone. If you want more info I can try to install it again and try to provide whatever you might need or want.

What do you mean by it broke Google Search (what were the indications that it did not work)?
When you restored did Google Search work again?
Check if you hae the follow "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" in your "/system/app"
Are there other files with this same name?

How much space does it state that you have free in the /system directory?
It would seem that you don't have enough space in your /system directory of your internal memory.
One thing to try to see if this is the case, when you do it manually, don't modify or add any files to /system/usr/srec/ directory
larva_pro said:
if i go to settings>storage its says
Device memory: Total 1.97GB ; available 1.3GB.
i did installed manually with out changing nothing on the /system/usr/srec . and im able to opent he register of google now.. as soon i click im'in
it close and dont show nothing.

To get the total /system directory size you need to run the following command in a program like "Terminal Emulator" or "aShell":
df /system

Yes I have that GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in /system/app and yes it is without the _usa after it. On the line under it it has the odex version. Then the Google search widget apk and odex. It is this way with before and after I try to install.
Just tried it again choosing mikeyxda v7 it says created backup ok and return status 0. Google now installed return status 0 once the phone boots up it says “unfortunately, Google search has stopped”. I also get that message no matter how i try to search or tap on the google app it puts on it. Double checked the permissions from the main thread and all permissions are set right, if that helps. Went to restore and it says I never backed it up but I can use the generic one which I select and get again return status 0 for everything and once the phone comes back up Google search works just fine again. Hope this helps.

That's good to know. I see that the problem has to do with your system being odexed.
The reason it FCs is because when replacing the Google Search apk there is no matching modified odex.
This is modified for deodexed roms.
Check on this thread and ask about a modified odexed velvet.apk and velvet.odex

I'm using GN on an odexed ICS ROM, no problems. Just had to delete the *.odex files for the apk's that the installer replaces.

Hi guys! Really thanks to all of you devs for your work!
I'm on a [email protected] v02.01 with JB bootloader, so i can't flash any CM rom 'cause of the bootloader.
I'm looking for a way to use the cm10 browser baceuse i really like it and the possibility to change the user agent (especially the ipad one).
So, is there a way to have it on the [email protected] rom or another one?
Thanks in advance for the help!
EDIT: i've tryed to copy the CM10.apk in /system/app and reboot. After that i've cleaned the browser data but when i launch the app it always FC......damn..... T__T
Which browser; file or internet? It is probable either would work but I can look further if I know which.
I'm downloading cm10 now so I can take a look! You are talking about cm10 nightlies here on xda; right?
I'm still waiting for a 45 minute download. You set permissions 644?
Sorry I just processed ipad, so internet browser.
Now if the download would complete.
I can't get it to work properly on mine either and am unable to get enough info when it fails to look further into the situation. Maybe someone will reply with more info!
Good Luck!

Yeah, the official one....i've downloaded the tf300 version from the official cm10 thread, extracted the browser.apk and remplaced the original one whit the 644 permission (rw / r / r).
After the reboot, in setup -> application i've cleaned the browser data and cache. Then i've tried to launch the app but it try to access to my google account for quite 30sec and then FC.
Maybe the cm10 browser need some files that are missing in the stock one, but i really don't know what.....

I still can't make it work either, I wish I knew more to try. I also looked at support files but no love.
I haven't quit but looks from here I'll have to use an unsecure kernel to go any further.
