Hey themers and modders,
I saw somewhere there was a transparent HTC_IME in a theme.
thing is, I dont remember what theme it is.
So my request it for someone to make the HTC_IME from here
thanks in advance.
agreed... that would be nice. i'm actually working on getting it now, if i do i'll post it here
WOuld be nice to se a screenshot of what you are talking about.
Wicked,
Nice, keep us posted here if you make any progress.

Would love to post it. but I can't find the original theme that had the IME. I can't remember the name. and I can't remember if its in here or the Dream Theme forum.
edit : found the original thread with the transparent HTC_IME
link
its the 8th picture in the first post.
thing is, i am not sure if its based on the original HTC_IME (that requires htc framework files) or the one modified to run on its own (like the one i linked to in my OP).
I have this one, its stock with 50% opacity added to the background. If you need it completely transparent I can do that for you just let me know.

- download astro file manager from the market
- put a copy of htc_ime.apk on your sd card
- select this file in astro, then select app manager
- press the 'uninstall' button
- select the htc_ime.apk file again
- this time, install it
this will remove the existing version which is causing the conflict and let you reinstall the new themed version.
for CM 4.2.3.1 just push the apk to /system/app/ using adb. reboot and you're done
I try to download install it but I get error saying it couldnt be installed.
On the main page it says I need to manually update it? I dont know how to do that. Emailed the dev 2 times with no luck. Anybody can help me please?

What ROM are you running? The ROM you are running probably installed setcpu to system so you would have to pull the old version using adb or you might be able to use a file explorer to find it and delete it.

Remount and then do it again.
Or download root explorer and browse to /system/app and delete the .apk from there.

why does it say you cannot install? its the fault of the rom dev of including it in his build. see if you can find and delete the app from /system/app
it may be that mod that you mentioned
su
remount
rm /system/app/setCpuWidgetMod.apk

From what I see it does not give me reason it just says "Install unsuccessful"
tried:
su
remount
rm /system/app/setCpuWidgetMod.apk
on terminal and gave me same error "Read only file system"
also, when I typed "remount, it said "remount not found"...
If u install it, and while its downloading click the progress bar to get to the setcpu description screen in market, it'll show u the reason it failed.
Most likely it'll say something like insufficient space - which actually is a result of it not being able to overwrite the existing apk thats installed. To find the actual apk try this
find / -name *setcpu*
You should get a list of all files with setcpu on your phone. rm -F the correct apk. If its on /system you will need to do 'adb remount' from your windows command prompt, then open a adb shell before you can delete it.
btw it may actually be these two:
rm /data/data/com.mhuang.overclocking
rm /data/app/com.mhuang.overclocking-1.apk

I looked inside the /data/ with ASTRO but there is nothing in there...
Yeah not sure why astro shows it empty. It may be because it doesnt run with root privaledges and only requests them when you try to delete something.
Use adb to check.

Use ES file explorer...not sure if its root access will work on that rom but it should

Maybe I'll try that. Do you have to actually do a backup/restore process before you can remove them? Or can you just remove them from the app itself?

You could do that but then ur left with a /data/data folder for ur app and its name under packages.xml.
The other thing that kills me is that a lot of these apps keep popping up for now reason. I run "Advanced Task Killer" on a frequent basis, but I'll find apps like "Slacker" sitting there, taking up memory.
I know a lot of these apps are set to run on startup.... but why are they just starting up at random times?
I feel like I have so little control over this phone... it actually scares me. I knew everything my WinMo phone was doing at all times.

Can these items just be deleted?
I went to Samsung Firmwares and got the UGJG8 firmware and flashed that using Odin and 512.pit. You will get a 100% bone stock i9000m with no bloatware.
Just remember to write down your current APN settings as you will have to readd them.

They could but that would be longer, since ud have to go through packages.xml to look for ur app. In simple terms :
Its like uninstall a windows software. Your deleting its c:\program files directory whereas im going to "uninstall software" and following procedure.

How in the heck do you find that? I've been all over the Samsung site and I can only find are Windows drivers.

Nevermind, I found it on another site. I think this is what you meant, right?:

Also, what is the difference between the I9000DTJG4 and the I9000UGJG8 firmware?

Got it.
Now, is that a script I need to write for each app? I haven't even gone so far as to explore the file system, let alone write scripts. Is there a good (recommended) app for putting scripts together? ...or are you just using a notepad type editor in Windows, then copying them over via SD card?

Sure u can write a quick .bat script that does this or manually enter them in command-prompt up 2 u. Btw, what exactly is ur issue with the bloat-software ? is it the space its taking up ? or being shown in app drawer ? Cuz if ur using launcher-pro u can hide those apps from the drawer. Honestly they don't take up tht much space.

Well, the biggest thing is that they're actually running without me opening them (eg: Slacker). That is really starting to piss me off. Secondly, they are very clutter-some. I don't have Launcher Pro, though I've heard good things about it. Is this something I get from the Marketplace? It runs instead of the Samsung interface, right?
**EDIT**
Just found "LauncherPro" on the Market. Looks good, but many are complaining the latest version is laggy/buggy and has obnoxious ad placement.
Does anyone have the next most recent version?

Nope its independent of proprietary frameworks, i.e it runs on stock.

So would this be ok to install right now, or wait until I possibly flash the bone-stock firmware (which ironically would eliminate the included apps)?

Just found this on Android Central
Grab the new market apk while its hot
Either get it from the source link on the post or I've attached it below.
Put it on your SD card and then use file explorer to find it and install.
I just installed it on mine and seems to work pretty good. Nicer look than the old market.
How did I know that the Eris would be one of the first places for new apks.
Thanks!!!
wow thanks will try it out.
imma bout to try it
EDIT: It doesnt install with MP3[SPEED] rom that sux
Just flashed this and all i can say is AWESOME! No bugs as of yet.

Try this:
This should pull the market apk currently on your phone and save it on your computer as a backup:
adb pull /system/app/com.android.vending.apk com.android.vending-backup.apk
Then push the new apk. This should rename the file as the previous apk and push it to your system/app folder:
adb push com.android.vending-1.apk /system/app/com.android.vending.apk
Then reboot:
adb reboot
Then try launching the market.
I am going to load it on a GB and XTRSense5 tonight and see how it works. any one else have any input on this ?
Input about how it runs? I am running GSB 3.7 Odexed and it is very stable. It takes a little time to load initially, but after that, I find the user experience much better than the previous market design.

I'm pretty new to rooting seen, so I appoligize if this question is dumb. But, on my Eris, all I have is a vending.apk file. So, is this the file that I need to replace with the new market apk?
It should run with either name, but I would make sure that you don't have more than one in there. That should be the one that you replace, though.

It's listed as Vending.apk in your screenshot. Same thing happened on my phone (GSB 3.7), and it worked fine after I replaced and rebooted.
Noob, first time posting...
Came to this site on my phone (via xda app). Downloaded file. Hit "open" and it went through the install process but finished with "Not Installed". Any thoughts.
Rooted Eris, Froyo 2.2.1, CM7, KaosFroyo V39
Edit: Never mind. Did the adb pull/push after flashing GSB CM7. Everything works great.
Has anyone seen this......
I can search the Market for games, books, and movies and find results. When I search for apps, I get no matches for my search. I've tried this with multiple versions of the market and multiple ROMs.
I've got content filtering set to show all.
Any suggestions.
Same here. Works perfect.

goings nuts. dug google for an hour, run search with root explorer, dug around on xda, turned phone upside down - but no luck. its not in data/app, system/app, cache/download, sdcard/download, to name some. its silly that single apk could be buried god knows where on android.
really run out of ideas where to search. any suggestions? thanks.
Probably in /sdcard/.android_secure then.
Check if it's installed on the sdcard in the program manager. If it is you can move it back to phone storage, which *will* be in /data/app.

but no. it's not in .android_secure and it's not installled on sd. should be in data/app but no.
Are you sure you're looking for the right name? Remember, the filenames in /data/app need not even resemble the name of the app.
However, should be easy to find anyway.
Uninstall the app.
List the contents of data/app
Install it
List contents again and find the extra filename.

sure, i'm not quite certain what string to look for aside of obvious "zoom" or similar. however, when listing /app directories, the root browser displays the app icons so it's not hard to identify what's what but i just cannot locate it anyway. but thanks for effort!
Turns out I'd actually bought this app, sorry for not remembering. Installed it, mine is named "slide.cameraZoom-1.apk"

i also bought it, but it wasn't in data/app.
anyway, status report: after last update from play store day ago it appeared in data/app under upper mentioned name. copied apk finally. where it was before the update remains a mystery.
Dont know whether its a nice suggestion or not
But if u r a root user dn u can download root app delete from market and in that just click on the app it will show u the destination of the apk.
