Can someone please put up an apk for Polaris Office that works. I found one in a forum thread but it doesn't work. I lost the version that came stock with my G2x when I flashed to CM 7.
Thanks much in advance.

Fresh out of TB!

Thanks a lot

Did you install it to system?

Did you fix permissions after installing?

@ regp No, how do you do that?

I also had this issue... The secret it the app is looking for two libraries in /system/lib, they are: libPDMaster.so and libPDMaster_Clipboard.so. So the install is:
1. install DocMaster.apk
2. make /system/lib r/w
3. copy libraries: libPDMaster.so and, libPDMaster_Clipboard.so
4. make /system/lib r/o

Sorry, but I don't see these two files?

Getting Polaris Office to Work
You can find the files in the one of the official T-Mobile ROMs in the system/lib folder.

can somebody supply us with the 2 files separately cause it takes time for me to download 500MB for 2 small files.
thanks.

this one worked on my rezound, which doesn't have those lib files.
This one is for ICS:

but might work for GB as well. If not, pm me and I'll post the gb one from my stock rom.

Download "Bloater G2x". Goggle it if you do not understand. It was created by a great xda dev. Works every time. Be sure to thank the people that created it.

Or if there's still anyone out there that's needing the polaris apk, you can always just get adobe reader from the market. Has always opened every PDF file I've ever tried.

Is that a complete install that puts the files where they need to be, or does one separately need to obtain the two library files?

Pardon my ignorance but I've never used Polaris... can someone tell me what this app does?

You have to change permissions with rootExplorer or other program

No, i just change read/write for /system to copy the new apk, with root explorer.

Is ihe permission 644?

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

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.

[MOD] AT&T LG G2 KitKat Smaller Navigation Bar and Disable CarrierIQ

Disclaimer: I typically modify to meet my own needs, on my own time, for my own device. This means that it might not be a mod meant for everyone, nor has it been thoroughly tested by anyone but myself. Use at your own risk.
Description: Modifies framework-res.apk in /system/framework to disable the loading of CarrierIQ on start-up as well as shrink the margins on the navigation bar for a little more screen real estate. This has only been tested and used on Stock AT&T LG G2 4.4 KitKat.
Link: https://db.tt/IoEgdIsr
Instructions: Back-up your current framework-res.apk in /system/framework then replace it with this one.
Notes:
CarrierIQ no longer shows 7 running processes via System Tuner on boot. To me, this indicates it is no longer being loaded. Otherwise, if you want, you can use System Tuner -> System -> Android System [Details] -> uncheck each of 7 CarrierIQ processes to do it manually.
This is a simple dimens.xml modification. Nothing major.

After replacing file with root explorer I went into a boot loop... Now I am afraid that I am going to have to completely restore my phone.
I know this is pretty straight forward but your file didn't work.

need to know if anyone was successful with this mod yet. do not want to go into a bootloop or force closes.

Also waiting for others to confirm this working first.
If only Xposed were working.

gonna flag this because it just crashes phones..... i just did it and i really dont think its funny.

Do not do it a full restore i needed after applying this so called mod>
---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------
i am actually kind of mad that this messed up my phone and took multiple tries to get into download mode. now i have to redo everything.

This work perfect for me, here how i did it
First backup my framework apk
second i copied the mod framework apk to system folder
then i set 644 permission for it
finally i move and replace it to framework folder
restart rightaway and it work
thanks OP for the mod file
btw maybe you should shrink the navbar a little less, it way too thin in my opion

This works great. Use root explorer and set permissions. Don't forget to make a nandroid backup if you can.
Download the apk from OP, then:
1. I copied over the framework after renaming it. (I just added a 2 at the end)
2. Then I set permissions (I just checked all the boxes... why not). At this point it would be a good idea to backup your original framework apk in case you want to restore.
3. Then I named it properly and over wrote the original (removed the 2)
4. I rebooted.
I somewhat disagree with the post above, I wouldn't mind it being a little smaller.
I am running this on the D800 running the androiduser's power user D802 base ROM.
@burningembers can you make one that will get rid of the volume and brightness sliders? Thanks!

the Navbar is fine in portrait but if you put the phone in landscape and you'll see the icon on it doesnt fix, it still ok but look amateur

Thanks heatshiver the nav bar smaller is nice. I'm still detecting Carrier IQ though .. Doing it manually with android tuner I would disable all of the items under android system? Thanks again bud
Edit: you probably already have this info but just in case or anyone else wanting to take a crack at totally disabling it (if possible)

thanks for this mod. I'll try this tonight after I flash the rom. I wouldn't mind a smaller nav bar too if you ever think of making another one.

This is a great mod, but remember that you cannot FULLY remove Carrier IQ from the ATT ROM. You can disable the services and prevent them from running which is what this does, and maybe it stops it all and maybe it doesnt IDK. But there is carrier IQ embedded into the UI code, the keyboard code, the messaging app code, etc. The only way to truly not have any Carrier IQ on your phone is to not run an ATT base ROM.

Thats weird cause i moved the framework mod into system/framework and set the permissions to rw--r--r and my screen started force closing and when i rebooted it stayed on the lg logo. Will try again later tonight

If you use adb you could push then reboot or if you're on a rom that has recovery you could create a zip.

Do you need to be rooted for this?

It worked perfectly for me when I did it the way above. I also went back to the original framework using this method. I'm not sure what you are doing wrong but at this point just use xposed (the Chinese leak found in the general section) and the G2 xposed module. That's what I am doing and I have a small nav bar.
Don't be mad at us, we were just reporting something we did that worked. If a few of us got it working and you did the problem is somewhere on your end not ours. So don't blame us, we gain nothing from lying. It may just be the ROM you are using
EDIT: it appears they closed that Chinese xposed thread for some reason. You may want to check out why but here is the link to the apk http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mgFNFc8 I haven't had any issues but it may cause issues with the lg launcher. Use this at you own risk... Good luck

Help me understand bootanimations

Hi,
I'm trying to get a bootanimation to work. DL here: https://mega.co.nz/#!isQEkKoS!2Dyfuf7TI2GePbMV11N83TR2hrpsCKfkdud4WNMaY90
It is originally created by ansebovi using my upscaled version of this .gif, however it stops around the 85th frame and freezes the phone completely.
In order to boot the phone again, I have to mount /system/ through TWRP and delete the bootanimation.zip file using the file manager of TWRP.
I've read through this thread over on droidforums regarding how to create a bootanimation and modified the desc.txt accordingly. I've also tried the troubleshooting steps described in the same thread.
Now I'm looking for anyone well versed in the art of bootanimations to help me understand and fix this problem I have on my hands.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: Upload to the forum crapped out thrice in a row now. Mega link added instead.

Not sure about your freezing problem but you can try this
Boot Animation Factory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540
or use Rom Toolbox in the playstore interface tab \ Bootanimations
Effective and easy.

Boot Animation Factory still produces that freezing problem.
Have not yet tried the Rom Toolbox method though.

Your Boot Ani on mega works fine on my phone. I get 3 loops bump and into the OS. Are you setting permissions correctly? rw-r-r

Yes. Where did you place yours? data/local/ or /system/media/ ?
Could it also have something to do with kernel / ROMs?

Weird,I placed it in the same place, with rw- r-- r-- permissions and all..
Maybe the difference really is in the kernel/ROM...
I use PA Beta 4 and ElemnetalX 0.36. I suppose its probably more kernel related if at all..
Which kernel so you use?

Im currently beanstalk w/ uber. Impatiently waiting for googles upgrade. Your probably right, however I've never had issues with boot animations unless on a stock samsung kernel.
Anyone out there have issues with elemental and pushing bootanimations?

I have not, that might be worth looking into. Credit for the .gif goes to /r/loadingicon over on reddit.

I tried it with this animation and it booted perfectly, so I suppose that it's not purely kernel related, must be some weird interaction between the ElementalX kernel and my bootanim...
