Hello Guys!!!
Sorry for the problems caused There Were More Two Widgets Missing Other Than Messaging widget to be coppied to Internal Memory Namely The Clock & Contact Widgets, So They Are Added In The Re-Update, The Whole .exe Is To Be Downloaded Again, Sorry For This.
Even The superuser enabler package(.exe) is fixed...But If U already Have the old .exe , just get the attached script & replace it with the old one...
Be Tuned For Apps2Sd & An Rom With At-least 30 MB Of Free Internal Memory Build....M Currently Initializing Source Code So That Will Help Me With Some Stuffs Like Update-Script & Some Stabilization Of ROM...
SUPERUSER ENABLER
Thers no SuperUser Apk Working On Haykuro's Hero Rom, So to get It Working, Only Installing Is Not Enough So I have Got It Working, Follow This Steps...
Note: To Test, Just Try Using CPU Overclocker Widget(Its Free) From The Market Before & After Using This... u ll Notice the Change
Steps:
1. Download The Install-Enable-SU-By-Sangeet.exe & Extract Any where By Double Clicking It.
New Fixed Download Link: http://android-latest-build-images.googlecode.com/files/Install-Enable-SU.exe
2. Connect Ur Phone Via USB Cable
3. Run The Install-Enable-SU .bat File.
4. Choose Appropriate options..
5. Rebooting Not Recommended...(UR WISH)
Rosie UI Enhancer/Optimizer
Note: U Must not Be Using Apps To SD Other Than The Default app_s folder
Means U must Not Have /Data/app Moved to /System/sd/app
The Rosie UI Dosent Need The Launcher.apk, So This Script Removes It.
This Script Moves/Installs Rosie Application To Internal Memory...
MoreOver, The Rosie UI Uses The HTC Widgets Which Are Seperate Applications, So Even If The Rosie Loads Fast, The Widgets Make It Slow...
So This Script Even Moves/Installs The HTC Widgets To Internal Memory...
Steps:
1. Download The Fixed-Rosie-UI-Optimizer.exe & Extract Any where By Double Clicking It.
Download Link: http://android-latest-build-images.googlecode.com/files/Fixed-Rosie-UI-Optimizer.exe
2. Connect Ur Phone Via USB Cable
3. Run The Optimize_Rosie.bat File.
4. Choose Appropriate options..
5. Reboot The Phone (NEEDED)
Dex-Optimizing
After All That, The Widgets Would Take Some Internal Memory, So I Would Recommend Using The Dex Optimizer...
Steps:
1. Download The Dex-Optimizer.exe & Extract Any where By Double Clicking It.
Download Link: http://android-latest-build-images.googlecode.com/files/Dex-Optimizer.exe
2. Connect Ur Phone Via USB Cable
3. Run The DEX-OPTIMIZER.bat File.
4. Choose Appropriate options..

I Dint Know Hod to make such scripts with options Learned from HTC Hero Speedup vXX by tehseano so credits to him too...
If Any one else left inform me i ll add..
Please add this to the wiki and PM me the url so I can add it to the roundup thread.
Only post problems with the above thread. Do not go off topic.
ryanmo5 opened this thread saying it didn't work and it messed up his home screen.
Thank you ryan for trying this out and letting us know.
i tried this and it says no such file or directory on all files. And then it says it cant find .apks for all files to install. Ok i didnt even look at my home screen all my widgets are gone except the clock. When i try to add the htc widgets im left with only 4 widgets.
Also the Install-Enable-SU.bat did not work for me. Was stating batch was inoperable.
Yeah, the UI tweak totally borked my phone. It locks up at the HTC logo. I went back to ion till tomorrow.
WEE!!!
AWESOME. This is fantastic. Thank you for your hard WORK!! much appreciated! Seems to have worked like a charm for me and i can really notice a huge speed boost especially when going back to the home screen.
I have found my HEROOO!
Oh and btw, when you do the part to optmize for Rosie, the folder that contains the apks should be renamed from Rosie to Files. That will make things work. It did for me.
I miss the Rosie UI lock screen though... its gone?
But wow incredibly speedy and even a lot more stable? Thank you sangeet.003 and all the other FANTASTIC developers on this forum who keep me and my G1 busy with fun goodies.
Here is a oddball question, couldn't someone just create a update.zip with all this done? I'm not familiar with signing pkgs and what not. So I'm not 100%.
i'm a mac user.
but i kind of smart when it comes to these things so i got it to work.
but for other mac users do you think you can just up load the files and post the
adb commands.

I think i read somewhere that it wouldn't be possible because of how big the update.zip would be which is why when flashing Hero, you need the ext2 to store the apps_2
the great thing is, if you just keep testing, reading and messing around with running everything from roms, scripts, commands and tweaks, you eventually get things to work and and you find a huge satisfaction and semi-understanding of it all and you find yourself appreciating the developers here for their work.
Wow its four in the morning and i think im on a strong sugar high because i never post.
so changing the folder from rosie to files worked for you

yeah rename "Rosie" to "Files"
well did a refresh of Hero and applied all the tweaks here (after renaming the folder as well) and all is wel. thanks a ton for this!
I was wondering if you could use app2sd after using this mod, or will this disable apps2sd?
Ok i did it and it works but there is a slight problem the messaging widget dosent show up. its completely gone. i read the batch file and its missing from the batch file. If you could re write it with the htc messaging app included then this app would be perfect. Or does anyone know how i could get the htc messagine widget back by myself

I think if you placed the "Files" folder onto c:/android (or wherever you put adb) and then:
adb push files/htcmsgwidgets.apk /data/app
that *might* work, not sure because I haven't tried it myself.

That is weird because i have super user and terminal working on mine just fine from JF previous install
a few widget's were missing..
clocks & contacts
also in the batch file, the msg widget was not reinstalled onto internal memory(probably just forgot to add that line)
so I redid his batch file to include the 2 missing widgets as well as adding the line for the msg widget and changed the folder to files
cause I know how lazy most of you are
http://hotfile.com/dl/4938120/a4a6fc0/Rosie_UI_Optimizer__ALLwidgets.zip.html
and for the mac user's
just open the .bat file in text editor (.bat files are nothing more than text anyways) in there you can see each command that is run and do it yourself manually,...
yeah it's a ***** but I'm not about to figure out how to write a shell script for OSX on XP just to appease my old brethren, maybe pickup a copy of BBcode and insert the commands, don't know it that would even work, just a thought heh.
---credits to sangeet.003 for goin' through the trouble to make this batch files, I'm just an "editor"
everything worked perfectly and 20 times faster not exact but i see a huge difference just now noticed that the messages widget was missing so bout to add that thanks to all developers working hard im sticking with hero i know people love it as much as I do so it has to keep getting better

Thanks I will Be re updating & uploading Both The exe Files...
This script has only been tested with CM ROM, I cannot guarantee that it will work with other ROMs.
DESCRIPTION
I couldn't decide on one single boot animation to use on my phone, so I thought, why not start every boot with a random animation?
I threw together a simple script that will randomly choose a boot animation zip file from a directory and copy the file to /data/local. The script defaults to using /sdcard/bootanimation as the directory to store all the animations.
INSTALLING THE SCRIPT
Extract 09bootanimation from the zip file, then type the following from your command prompt:
Code:
adb remount
adb push 09bootanimation /system/etc/init.d
adb shell chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/09bootanimation
If you are using CM 5.0.6 - 5.0.8, you will need to do an additional step. The fstab file is missing, so extract fstab from the zip file and execute the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb push fstab /system/etc
Thanks to godsfilth for figuring out the fstab problem. =)
If you are not using CM ROM, you may have the init.d directory in a different location.
Reminder: Because the script is installed in the system directory, you need to redo all the installation steps after upgrading your ROM.
INSTALLING BOOT ANIMATIONS
Create a directory called bootanimation in the SD card root directory, and put all your animation zip files in the directory. The script will only choose from zip files in the directory.
If you want to change the default directory, just change the variable in the script.
Thanks to godsfilth for getting it to work with SD cards! =)
SELECTING A SPECIFIC ANIMATION
If you want to view a new animation, instead of rebooting repeatedly and hoping that it will be selected at random, you can use the following method.
Create a file called bootanimation.use in the bootanimation directory where you have placed all the zip files. The file should contain a single line with the filename of the boot animation, without the directory path. For example:
Code:
bootanimation-prash.zip
When you want to go back to random animations, simply delete bootanimation.use from the directory.
HELP! I CAN'T GET THIS TO WORK!
If you have problems getting the script to work, grab the logcat of the startup process and post it to pastebin. You can get the logcat output by rebooting the phone and then immediately running
Code:
adb logcat > log.txt
Once the boot animation has started you can press Ctrl-C to stop the log collection. Please include in your post the ROM that you are running.
SAMPLE LIST OF BOOT ANIMATIONS
For those who are looking for some boot animations to choose from, here's a small list of animations from other XDA threads. Feel free to recommend animations, and I'll update this list.
Prash's CyanogenMod 5.0
Qteknology's Nexus animations
Nighthound's Win7 Nexus
Nighthound's BSOD
Nighthound's Qteknology's Splash Inverted
nmeofdst8's Nexus One Red Flame Edition
iDance°-->ra1n's Ubuntu Nexus and Tiesto animations
Droid Eris thread with lots of cool boot animations
FUTURE CHANGES
Eventually I might get motivated enough to write a simple program to simplify the entire process. It would be great if someone has the spare time to do so.
CHANGELOG
Version 1.3
Updated to work with CM 5.0.6 (push fstab to /system/etc) [thanks godsfilth again]
Added option to specify boot animation to use
Added logging output
Version 1.2
Changed filename to 09bootanimation to work with CM Apps2SD.
Version 1.1
Enables storage on SD card [thanks godsfilth!].
Added error checking for no animation files.
Version 1.0
Initial release.

Installing the script
Extract the script from the zip file, then type the following code:
Code:
adb remount
adb push 10bootanimation /system/etc/init.d
adb shell chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/10bootanimation
Note that I'm running CM5, your ROM may have the init.d directory in a different location.
Installing boot animations
Do this once, the very first time you're using this:
Code:
adb shell mkdir /data/local/bootanimation
After that, use this to copy your animations:
Code:
adb push [i]animation-filename.zip[/i] /data/local/bootanimation
If you want to change the default directory, just change the variable in the script.
My knowledge of the Linux system is limited and I couldn't figure out how to access the sdcard during boot up, so unfortunately all the animations will have to reside in the data partition for now. Would be great if someone could help out with that.

Exactly what i was looking for thanks!!!!!!
Anyone else gonna touch this to get it to work off the sdcard?? That would make this so sweet!
good stuff! I altered this a bit to work from the sd card.
edit: I see godsfilth did too...nice
i got it working don't know if theres any negative side effects everything seems to work fine just delete the bootanimation.tmp file when you add new animations
installation is the same as before except I have the boot animations going to /sdcard/bootanimation so put them there
might want to nandroid before installing i did but im paranoid about things like that.
also im not responsable for anything that happens if you flash this file everything runs fine on my phone so i think its stable but all mods run some form of minor risk
also not responsible for worn out sdcards or missed calls/sms sue to the constant rebooting of your phone to show off the animation
Are we supposed to rename each bootanimation.zip with a unique name, or keep the filenames "bootanimation.zip" and make individual directories? Renaming each bootanimation.zip and placing them in /sdcard/bootanimation is not working for me.

have you tried deleting the temp file that the script generates? I have all different kinds of names for my boot animations so i dont think it matters as long as there all in the same directory

Well, there was no .tmp file created, and I was using the /sdcard/bootanimation version, which did not work for me. Using the original version works fine. Thanks
Edit: Although, I'd rather have them on sd...I'll keep trying.
Edit2: Still no go on the /sdcard option...wonder if using Desire Rom or apps2sd messes it up? Doesn't seem like it should. The /sdcard script looks fine. Hmmm...?

what ROM are you using i'm running CM's latest if you are running CM then try pushing the script again following the directions in the first post just use the sdcard script instead also
i have no idea why the script Nighthound posted works and my sdcard one does not. all i did was edit his script to mount the sdcard load from /sdcard/bootanimation and then unmount the sdcard literally added for lines of text and edited the load directory
EDIT:so you're using the desire rom where does the desire ROM keep its init.d if its not /system/etc then you will need to push the file to wherever the desire rom stores it plus i think desire uses a different format for boot animation since it has sound too

I know. It looks fine and there's no reason why it shouldn't be working. Right now I'm on Manup's NexDesire. I've been back and forth like 3x now and OP script is the only one working for me. Oh well, not a big deal. When I switch ROM's, I'll try your's again. Thanks for the ideas.
Edit for your edit: init.d in this rom is also in /system/etc
Sweet! The sdcard script worked like a champ! Thanks for modifying that. Now I can just keep adding all the coolness without getting bored!

Thanks for the help! I've updated the OP with the new version. By the way, you don't have to delete the temp file because it is regenerated every boot.
Are we supposed to delete the one we have in /system/media? I haven't actually seen a random change. I've seen the same one everytime I reboot.

I've only got the random changing to work using the original script with folder /data/local/bootanimation. That is working flawlessly, however.

Which version of the script are you using (v1.0, godsfilth's version or v1.1)? And where are you putting the animation files?

The only difference is I added an error check in 1.1. Other than that the sdcard mount procedure is the same. From your earlier description, you said that the script copied the animation to /data/local once, and then didn't work again after that? Did you chmod the script after copying it into /system/etc/init.d ?
Nighthound said:

Click to expand...

Yes, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, I'm on Manup's NexDesire 1.2, which may or may not be the culprit. Was suggested earlier that because the Desire ROMs sometimes call a boot sound in addition to bootanimation, this may screw with it. I haven't really looked into it, but this ROM has no boot sound. I don't know if it is because it is
1. removed the .mp3
2. the portion of the script that calls it is commented out
3. both 1 and 2
I hope 2 or 3 is true, because that would be cleaner.
I'll check it out further when I get a chance.
In the meantime I suggest posting both versions of the script, so it can work for everyone. Thanks Nighthound

I can't get adb to work properly on my laptop so I actually made an update.zip to get the file in system/etc/init.d. Shouldn't that get it working properly without having to chmod anything? If not, would be nice enough to give me the commands to chmod from terminal? I know it can't be too different from the adb commands but I just wanna make sure I do it right
Hi Guys,
FLASH IT VIA RECOVERY / FOR UNLOCKED BL ONLY !!!!!!!! BASED ON .62

Hi
i would like to change/replace the emoticons on my phone. the emoticons that comes with the ROM i flashed looks pretty bad (for me personally) so i would like to change them. i have done a little bit of searching in the forums and i came across some threads which i dont quite understand. i am hoping some one with more experience and expert in this area can help me out
Phone: HTC Sensation XE
ROM: Darkforest Sensation XE 7.2.0
i realized that i need to set up ADB . then i further read that there are multitool for apk or something that i can use for manipulating the apk in my phone. there a a few different threads talking about all these
So my questions now are
Q: Is setting up ADB enough for my purpose (just replace the emoticons). i wouldnt want to "overkill" (as in install too many tools/applications) just to have my emoticons replaced.
Q: -removed- found my answer for this question thank you
Q: i found some threads saying it i can also flash the zip they created and require a specific ROM does that mean with the ROM i have on my phone i cant run their zip through CWM recovery?
Sorry for so many question and pardon me if some of the questions i ask don't make sense.
Thank you!!
it's simple

make a copy of your framework-res.apk from system/framework using es file explorer or any other tool you prefer
put it on your desktop
right click on it,then open it,DO NOT EXTRACT IT
double click on res,then drawable hdpi and the files are in there,there's normally 18
the 1st one starts off emo_im_angel.png
delete these,add your new ones by dragging & dropping the icons in,making sure they are named the same & are same size
click yes you want to add files
press X(close apk)
then how you put it back is up to u
adb,flashable zip or if your not to sure,place it on your sd card & copy over origional,set permissions to rw-r-r
reboot
ALL DONE

i have followed your guide and it worked!! this is the easiest i've read so far! thank you so much!!
Hey,
since I'm flashing nightlies on a regular basis and also want to use my own custom /system/build.prop file, there are a few ways to accomplish both things as easy as possible:
Backing up /system/build.prop through a script in /system/addon.d
Flashing my own file using a zip after every update
Restoring previous build.prop using a Editor app and reboot
Manually change or add every desired entry and reboot
For most of you one of these ways should absolutely do the trick, but my problem was either things like build version, date, etc. got stuck at my custom file's one or I had to reboot after manually updating it, which got really annoying after several times.
So I decided to create my own flashable zip which works as follows:
Somewhere on the device is a simple text file in which are all those entries that shall be changed,added to or removed from /system/build.prop (In my case it's /sdcard/tweak.prop)
After mounting /system and /data (not if they are already) and setting write permissions to /system/build.prop the zip extracts a shell script to /tmp/tweakprop.sh
It This script scans the text file (aborts if not found) and looks for changed, new or unwanted entries in /system/build.prop in order to apply them. Changed entries will be overridden, new ones will be added, unwanted get removed and entries existing in /system/build.prop but not in your personal file will be ignored
When tweaking is done, it just removes /tmp/tweakprop.sh and unmounts /system and /data (only if they weren't mounted before) and reverts /system/build.prop's permissions to rw-r--r--
-> (See content of example.txt for more detailed examples and syntax!)
Using this method, you can not only forget about manually updating versions and/or lame reboots after updates for changes to take effect, but also edit your personal text file at any time without root rights beeing required. Once set up to be flashed after every update, your /system/build.prop is always tweaked as you wish and looks like a stock one (ROM version, etc. under About Phone).
The zip flashes well on all recoveries. Make sure your tweak.prop file ends with an empty line, otherwise the last line will be ignored!
I hope some of you can use this zip, it's free to modify. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
This project has been moved to a git repo at https://notabug.org/kl3/tweakprop. Please refer to it in the future to get updates as this is much easier for me to maintain. Upcoming changelog can be found here.
Changelog
Changelog
version 0.1:
initial release
version 0.2:
ignore lines in personal file not matching a valid entry pattern (someVAR=someVAL) to not mess up /system/build.prop and support personal structuring inside the file like "# media tweaks #", "# dalvik section #", etc.
code cleaned up
version 0.2.1:
typo fixed in line 24 of tweakprop.sh so the if-statement asks for the correct file (thanks to the_pirate_predator)
version 0.3:
changed the while-loop to get it's input directly from sed, which makes a second buffer file obsolete
version 0.3.5:
example.txt provided as tweak.prop template
ignore lines beginning with # or being empty
version 0.4:
instead of a fixed path, the personal file gets searched on internal storage (file name can be set in the script) so you can put your file anywhere - no more problems with /sdcard/ or /sdcard/0/ on different devices
personal file must not be empty, otherwise script aborts#
only override really different entry values in order to prevent "... value of someVAR overridden" spam in recovery log
version 0.4.5:
fixed last line of personal file being ignored due to deleting all empty lines before
speed up search for personal file, now looking on internal storage and even on external SD card if nothing was found before (ext. SD neither gets checked if present, nor mounted or unmounted, just trying to search on it silently)
version 0.4.5a:
same as 0.4.5a, but personal file is inside the zip and gets extracted to /tmp/tweak.prop, no need to have one on the internal storage
version 0.4.6(a):
output not shown in TWRP fixed, now works as it should
version 0.5:
code cleanup: everything's now in the update-binary, resulting in much less code and faster execution time
output to recovery should now work on all device-recovery combinations
version 0.5.1:
lines beginning with ! will be removed globally
little code-cleanup
version 0.5.2:
lines beginning with @ will append the string after | to values of existent entries
slight changes in code structure
version 0.5.3:
lines beginning with $ will change the value to the string after | only if the entry already exists, hence $telephony.lteCdmaDevice|1 is nothing but a more explicit approach of telephony.lteCdmaDevice=1, as the first one will only make changes but no new entries
version 0.5.4:
the build.prop file can now be backed up before editing using a BACKUP= line, see example.txt for details
tiny bug fixed
version 0.5.4a:
tweak.prop file (example.txt) is included, no personal file on your device's storage is used. Edit the zip's content before flashing!
version 0.5.9(a):
Error handling fixed, script properly exits now if anything failes and won't make further changes
More verbose output
Date and tweak.prop version added to backup files to keep track of them
Special characters like / are now escaped and handled correctly by sed
Slight changes in coding style as it's good practise

Such Awesome, much appreciate i wanted to make one too, but never got the time to.

What should my text file look like if I just want to add one line of text at the end of my build.prop? For example,
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
to activate softkeys on a device with capacitive buttons?
Thanks

Need some information
I need explanation for the following lines of code.
Code:
## your personal file with tweaks and custom entries/values
tweak=/sdcard/0/tweak.prop
## abort execution if $tweaks not found
if [ ! -e $tweaks ]
then
ui_print "ERROR: Personal file not found. No changes were made."
ui_print "Script aborted. Check file path and flash again."
exit 0
fi
## read only lines matching any valid entry pattern (someVAR=someVAL), e.g.
## net.bt.name=Android, omni.device=n7100, url.legal=http://www ...
sed '/.*=.*/!d' $tweak > /tmp/tweak.prop
tweaks=/tmp/tweak.prop
You are giving a condition loop without even declaring the variable "tweaks" at first. You have declared only after the loop ends. Then that means, the code in the loop never executes. I think this is a small mistake you did with the code. Make sure you correct those.
But else, a great work!! :good: :good:
Sorry, but stick to one variable, "tweak", or "tweaks".
Otherwise, its a very simple, yet efficient algorithm. :good:

Just a simple text file containing your mentioned line. Any other empty or non-entry lines will be ignored by my script anyway.

You're right. It's a typo, I'm correcting it now. Thanks for your advice.

I use a second buffer file that is a cleaned version of the original one. If I find a smarter way, I will.
I was searching for something like this for ages.
But i have a nob question! lol
I need to create a text file with all the lines i want to add to my built.prop file, so where I put the text file? And i have to give a certain name to that file or any name will do?

My script searches for a file called tweak.prop located at your internal storage (storage/emulated/0/tweak.prop or sdcard/tweak.prop or sdcard/0/tweak.prop), but you can freely change the line
PHP:
tweak=/sdcard/0/tweak.prop
to any path you want your personal file to be.

Thx for the quick response, and for your great work.

Sorry but i don't get it.
i need to create a txt file called tweak.prop and place it where i want, for example /sdcard/tweak.prop
after extracting the tweakprop-0.3.zip for editing the line /tmp/tweakprop.sh
Code:
## your personal file with tweaks and custom entries/values
tweak=/sdcard/tweak.prop
zipping meta-inf and tmp folder and finally flashing this zip.. am i doing something wrong ?
because it takes no changes.
got this line in tweak.prop at /sdcard/tweak.prop
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=400
sorry, i really dont get it.

As my script already shows, changing the path to /sdcard/0/tweak.prop again should do the trick.
I just want to change my DPI with this. What do I need to change in your default tweak.prop to be able to do that?
Click thanks if I helped you.

did not work ! :/ you mean changing the path for the tweak.prop in the unzipped tweakprop.sh in /tmp/, aren't you ?
Code:
build=/system/build.prop
## your personal file with tweaks and custom entries/values
tweak=/sdcard/0/tweak.prop

Yes, that's what I meant. Then just try any other path. I guess the internal storage's path is a device specific thing. Which device do you? I would try locating your personal file at /system as this path exists on all devices/ROMs.

I am using a LG G2 Intern. D802
PAC-Man ROM (but thing thats irrelevant)
so if i place my tweak.prop in /system/ i need to edit the path in tweakprop.sh right ?
edit:
personal file is in /system/tweak.prop
editting tweakprop.sh line to
/system/tweak.prop
does not work don't get it .. sounds so simple, actually it is, but i don't know what i am doing wrong

I know that, but where do I put it in the provided tweak.prop? What do I remove from the provided tweak.prop so that's the only change? I really don't know what any of this code actually means. Thanks to the OP for providing this, but instructions aren't very clear.

Hm.. Which recovery? Maybe it's a problem with the updater-script doesn't get executed correctly. Sadly, I have no possibilities to test those scenarios.

I didn't provide any personal file. If you only want to change this line, create a file called tweak.prop containing only this line and place it right on your internal storage.

If you put it in /system/ it'll get erased when you flash a new nightly anyways, as most .zip scripts wipe the /system partition... So... it would be best to keep it on the SD card.
