Anyone figured out a way for install the espresso music app (you know the one with complete rotation) on the hero, WITHOUT an entire espresso rom?
The espresso HTC Music app is without a doubt the best ive used, so id really like to have it on a hero rom. It failed to load for me when i installed via an update.zip and it refuses to install when manual installing it.
I suppose its possible to run it ok (i have the hero one on a vanilla one fine) but proper rotation is the issue i think here.
So yea anyone managed it, if so could you explain?
Cheers guys
i made it on HebVillain 1.0.2 too.. its easy
open AndroidManifest.xml and change from
Code:
android:screenOrientation="nosensor"
to
Code:
android:screenOrientation="sensor"
(evry where you can find it)
ahh thanks buddy. i didnt realise it was that easy However, i suppose you mean the manifest on the top level of the music apk? because i cant find a trace of either string in it. Am i being stupid? or maybe i have a diff music app version to you?
Also i finally correctly installed the espresso music app on my hero. but it force closes, gonna logcat it and see whats up
Team-
I have a STOCK MT3G Slide NOT rooted.
How can I get the Navipanel or Car Panel / dock that we see on later builds of android, is there a way someone can extract the APK or how can I get it installed onto my phone.....I figured I would let the pro's answer this one!
Thanks

Car dock is included in the android sdk, however you can extract a working one for your slide from cr's addon pack for ota ver.blah blah, anyway goto this link he posted:http://www.4shared.com/file/F92A1Dcy/_2__MTM_Stock_Addon_191_LWP.html
Extract the zip and goto data/app in the folder, youll find the car dock and 2 other apps too..Navipanel is only featured on the eris(corr if wrong), you'll can probably google navipanel.apk or check the eris section.
or you could just get it from here

Yeah i was thinking that cause i thought the hd2 only had a froyo port not 2.1/1.6 . Give me a min to search my comp for it, no guarantees that it works on stock. Try the 3 attached files of my post.
I downloaded the files but I cannot instal them. I get a "Parse Error".....for all 3....any other ideas??
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
No idea, they all worked for me. I think that the car home and car home launcher is the set that I was looking for, thanks for that. the HTC included something called footprints - I have no idea what that is....
I emailed to myself and used gmail to install; how strange, I've not done that before. Astro is installed though, and of course install from untrusted is set. I'm running Eugene's last froyo w/o the OC'ed kernel.
it would be great if someone could put a apk for either i cant seem to get it to work when i edit the files and re pack them soooooo im asking for some more experienced help
In the captivate apps sub there is a guy who does this sort of thing. He posted some of his themes/mods there.
From a phone on an app
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Okay so I've made a custom theme pack for myself, now I just need to know if there's a program out there, for un-rooted users, that will allow me to manually change each existing icon myself? If anyone knows of such a program please reply with it, including some information on where I could find the program.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help out, there's a couple quid in it for the 1st successfull program/method that works exactly how I want it to.
Please note, I don't particularly want to edit each file .apk manually to change its icon =D
How many views and no one wants to make any money?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
It is not possible to change something like the icons without root as it would need access to modify the apk files
Okay so given that I'm looking for a nice simple 1 click root, once found what would be the cards in the deck then?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
You could change the shortcut icon on the homescreen for example with a program called anycut, or the paid one called bettercut
Otherwise you will need root acses
Edit: Or (Don't know if this works someone might need to correct me ) if you get each apk of the app you want to change the icon on, just open the apk and replace the icon
EDIT2: Nvrmnd read the first post slowly
I've already sussed out the homescreen icons and yeah it makes a massive difference to me, but idealy I want every icon changing to the way I want it, is there a 1clickroot method for Hero?

Don't know if it works but I know there is an app called "Universal Androot" (not sure it's on the market) that you can search for on google

Hmm... Umm... I got two methods that im not sure if they'll work, first search the market for androot (i think) and try root it that way, second download ROM Manager from the market and install the clockwork mod recovery, there the closest ways to 1 click i think
Max, you got any kind of IM, this reward looks like it's going to you lol, just need a couple of things clearing up, you sound like you know what you're doing and the fact that I've had a pub in the county you live in makes it that little bit better!

Obviously you've rooted your Hero? What method did you use, I'm all for the confusing methods, I'm just not that familiar with ADB and the commands and what my phones running or what 'MOD' I'm currently on. It's all a lickle hazy to me as of right now, hence why I'm willing to pay someone for their precious time =D

Haha Okay
First thing, could you go into (on your phone) Settings, ABout phone, Software infromation and then write what it says under Firmware version
Hey I've got to go for a bit now
I reccomend looking here seems simple
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/11/how-to-root-your-android-phone-superoneclick-method/
And that should work
Now we're down to business! 2.1-update1, I done that myself =D lol then I updated something else to 3.35.61.2 if this is to any use =S
Hehe I can't keep up anymore. It's such a long time since I rooted my phone I have no idea what I did Anyways the trick is to let out what you don't need. Software number etc. often doesn't matter. It's pretty easy actually. When you get root you can very easily install a recovery. Basically you just download Amon_RA from the dev section and type in some basic commands in a terminal emulator on your phone AFAIK (that is when you have gained root which you hopefully can with a one-click method) and then you can start modding flashing etc.
ADB is really easy to set up. You download the zip file from here, extract it and (I recommend) put the extracted folder on your system drive. Now you can rename it to something easy like "adb" or "Android". If you open your command prompt by typing in "cmd" in the search bar in start (if you're using Windows Vista or 7) or opening "run" and then typing in "cmd". You can now type in "cd yoursystemdrive:\thenameofthefolder\tools" and start using ADB commands. Like adb ls -1 system/app (this will list all your system apps. You can replace "system" with "data". Thos will list all your installed apps) or adb pull nameoftheapkyouwanttoedit.apk \adirectoryyouwanttocopyitto (this will copy an app you want to modify. To modify it you can extract with WinRAR or 7zip etc. and edit the images (except the ones that ends with ".9.png")) and at last adb push \thedirectorythemodifiedapkisin systemordata/app (this will put the modified apk on your phone).
Hope this helps a little

Maybe a dumb question, but I haven't seen a thread dedicated to this, but....
I'm tired of missing apps in the market. How do you side load apps? IS everyone using "Sideload Wonder Machine" from Android Central?
And where do you download the apk files from. Androidzoom only emails you a link to the Market which then can't find the app, SlideME has only half the market apps, same with Handango and Pocketgear. And Phandroid just simply sucks.
Do apps that require a GPS fix simply not install on our G Tabs? That would eliminate A LOT of freakin apps in one shot.
Can anyone offer a little help?
Specifically, I can't find Sunmoon, Living in the sun, Heavens Above, and Predisat. These are all sun and moon phase apps and a few satelite tracking apps. I know, silly and geeky, but I get a kick out of watching the International Space Station fly by at 2am.
Thanks, and thanks for not laughing too hard.

I have a Droid X phone and most apps show for me in the Market. I usually download them on my phone and then using Root Explorer I find the apk or zip file in the app/data folder and copy them over to my DropBox folder (all on the phone).
Then I use Dropbox on my gTab to save them to a directory on my gTab and simply install them that way.
You should really look into getting a DropBox account (free).
Here are the files you were looking for. I've attached them since they are FREE so I hopefully won't be violating any rules. If I am someone please let me know.
Oh my god you are the greatest, for explaining it, and for posting the links for me. Very cool of you.

I thought it was a great question, one that I was wondering the answer to as well. If you don't own an Android phone (yet), then is there a quick tutorial on getting the files onto the gtab? Also, Is it legit to post apk files ready for download? I see it done quite often. If so I wouldn't mind seeing a dedicated thread for new apps people find with the file posted ready for download. The Notion Ink apk's were downloadable straight to the gtab which was great.

I think it depends on the apps. I believe if they are free versions then it is okay.

One way is go to USER CP (top bar on forum screen) and edit your signature to add devices or whatever else you want to say in the signature box. May be another way, not sure.

I could find it everywhere but I could not find the apk to side load. No matter what build [TNT or Vegan] it would not find it in the market or whether in AppBrain it would not let me download it directly to my gtablet

Once it's on your gTab you simply select it in any file explorer you're using and it will launch the installer and begin installation for you.
