JAVA app from HERO

I've just pushed new Hero Java app into my rogers build and it works fine.
What you basically need is:
Jbed.apk (install with adb install)
libjbedvm.so (adb push /system/lib) - remember to remount as RW.
I strongly suggest to run linux-swap (as it killed all my applications and hanged for some time without it).
Files taken from Drizzy's build.

I just went to getjar.com and d/l the jbed runner, installed and it worked perfectly without pushing it but I haven't found any good use for it, must java programs are worthless on our phones since they were made for regular phones and not smartphones like ours

I have a .jar file on sd, but it doesn't read. Anyone know for what OS i have to download it for (ei: motorola razr)

What is remount as RW? Just want to make sure I get this done correctly.
So I just download it and then:
adb install jbed.apk
adb remount
adb push libjbedvm.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot

Correct?

/system is originally read only, you can't write files to it. It's for protection/security reasons. Run the following command, which remounts it as RW (read-write, instead of read only).
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

I've used Nokia N95 ebuddyIM to test. Some of apps doesn't work (to be honest my biggest motivation was trying to run SmartCam for S60).

this works great! thanks a lot

Hello I just installed it I think it went well.. one noob question, what can we use this for? Thanks

You can use it to run java (J2ME) apps. Like the ones from getjar.com

can u post the terminal commands to install it ..would it work on cyan rom ?

Wanting to know the same thing..

You don't need to do all this, I posted before that, go to getjar.com and find the j2me runner and install, it works the same and does work on cyan's roms

Put both files on root of sdcard.. and do this on terminal
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/jbed.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/libjbedvm.so /system/lib
reboot
Or download it from getjar.com like gridlock32404 said..
And yes it works on cyan's rooms..

Chances are you will need to run a fully compliant j2me jad or jar file. as for a jad u need to make sure the jar file has the full path or else it will fail.
java apps made specifically for Blackberries and not for universal j2me devices will not work as well as most java apps for Symbian based Nokia phones and specific Ericsson models.
Also a lot of Nokia apps will not have properly built manifests but those u can go in and correct or build yourself and repack the jar
your best option for downloads are any Motorola or Samsung since 99% of them are purely java based with the exception of the few Win Mob

As hinted at in the other thread, the solution is to delete some stuff from your /system/ directory.
I deleted about 20 ringtones I never use from /system/media/audio/ringtones and then repeated the adb push command. Worked a treat.

Google Maps with Nav: For NoObs! For Cyanogen ROM's (works!)

First thank you Followinginsanity for breaking the code!
Credit for this break down goes to Paul22000 for his write up. I just added all the links and my input which worked on 5 of my buddy's phones.
Please let me know if I am stepping on anyone's toes and I will remove this.
go to this page ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582656&page=8 ) and download build.props.zip then open and place on the root of the sdcard.
then go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583627 and download the link on the first page. open it and go to the apps folder in the zip and copy the Maps.apk and place on the root of the sdcard.
- Make sure before you start to make a nandroid backup.
A) Place 3 files on sdcard (build.prop, build.trout.prop, Maps.apk)
B) Terminal (on phone):
su
ash
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/build.prop.backup
cp /system/build.trout.prop /sdcard/build.trout.prop.backup
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system
cp /sdcard/build.trout.prop /system
cd /system/app
rm *Maps*
rm *maps* ( an error is ok go on, just need to make sure all are deleted. So both Maps and maps done.)
cd /system/sd/app
rm *maps*
rm *Maps* ( an error is ok go on, just need to make sure all are deleted. So both Maps and maps done.)
cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
rm *maps*
rm *Maps* ( an error is ok go on, just need to make sure all are deleted. So both Maps and maps done.)
reboot
C) Terminal:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
install /sdcard/Maps.apk /system/app/
D) Open "Maps" on your phone
Directions -> Put end point -> Go -> "Navigate" under "Show on Map" -> Install voice etc
(Must have GPS on and data connection active)
- Not there? Go to the market and download Google Voice. install... open and then exit. go back to Maps and try - Directions -> Put end point -> Go -> "Navigate" under "Show on Map" Agian.
(If "Navigate" doesn't show up, something went wrong.)
E) To get other apps back to normal (if stuff broke):
su
ash
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /sdcard/build.prop.backup /system/build.prop
cp /sdcard/build.trout.prop.backup /system/build.trout.prop
reboot

this is much faster.. its a update.zip and it supports the builds so facebook and handcent work just fine..

navigate dissappeared after upgrading to cyan 4.2.5

You could either try reinstalling it or some say you can uninstall Google Voice and reinstall it.
I upgraded from 4.2.4 to 4.2.5 just fine and kept it, but I'd give it a reinstall. Couldn't hurt or try the google voice trick.

nice! good to go after first install, no problems yet!

Works so nice. You devs are geniuses. Love it. Thx so much.

no prob yet but on my phone it says my firmware version is 2.0 and my mod version is cyanogenmod 4.2.3.1 build number esd20, is this right? prior to this i was 1.6 running cyanogenmod 4.2.5

just did this and it changed everything back to normal
E) To get other apps back to normal (if stuff broke):

my phone says 1.6 and cyan 4.2.4 but i have all the features of 4.2.5 and yes i have google voice installed

the problem with this is when you reinstall the backup's you will lose Google Nav. But your old apps work fine again. There is something in the build.prop and build.trout.prop that Google Nav looks for. Once you replace the new ones with your backup's, your back to square one. Might not do it right away but after a few minutes Nav is gone.

I have to redo this everytime I upgrade. It messes with the build.prop as I mentioned above. Until Cayogen puts out 2.0, we will have to keep messing with Nav to keep it when updating.

hey man . i find a way to fix our mistake..
you can simply edit one line in your build.trout.prop file found in the system directory on your G1.
The edit is simply changing the ro.build.fingerprint line to:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
then it works good..facebook works .. handcent works .. and look into about phone..back to the normal..1.6 tmo G1 drc83

I ended up finding this blog. I did the manual install and then installed Google Voice and everything is working perfectly for me.

You must of forgot to type "su" then press enter when you first started the script.

everyone listen up!
follow the instruction..finally you got map2.0,but look into your setting-about phone..it shows 2.0 not 1.6 tmo g1..i think thats why we cant use facebook and handcent..
just put these 2 build.trout.prop and build.prop in your phone system instead
it shoud works ..everything back normal..and nav works just fine

Can anyone comment if this works in the UK - I have tried a number of ways and none seem to work,
I am using Cyanogens latest Rom and followed the instructions to the letter...
Just get the show on Map options nothing more, nothing less

Enomther's TMO US ROM & Cytown phone.apk .22

I am using the TMO US rom, non ADP. I want just 3 screens. I can't seem to get it to work. I used to use it fine with CM 4.1.11.1 but not with the one from ENOM...
I want a stock rom with some tweaks and I'm testing out E's rom now. Works great, just can't get the phone.apk to work.
I'm trying to install it via the phone, at work and no comp to use as a go between. is that the problem? I did it with CM's and figured it should work on this one but nuttin.
anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I followed the steps that are under cytowns thread. I couldn't mount it, kept giving me some sort of error, remount not found, or /system not a valid file etc...

Remount is not a valid command, you need to use ADB
Why don't you just use update.zip that Wysie provides?
Otherwise, use
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
to remount system rw
Good luck

[MOD] Webtop Via HDMI Without a Dock

I have enough confirmations that I can now confirm this is working, and have made a flashable zip install method for those less technical of us.
What this mod does:
It removes the device ID string check from PortalApp, and enables the webtop option in DockService. Replacing these two apk files effectively allows the webtop to launch without proprietary hardware.

What this means to you:
Webtop mode over any HDMI without an expensive dock.

Code:
adb push DockService.apk /mnt/sdcard/
adb push PortalApp.apk /mnt/sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

btw i couldnt get system to mount with tho command.
mount -o rw,remount /system
i had to use
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Thanks Fenny for answering my call, it worked like a charm

Make a flashable zip now
Also, don't try to do this with root explorer. You'll get force closes without "Portal.apk"

Awesome, bookmarked for when I update my buddies phone tomorrow! You guys are on the ball!

Works great! I noticed when dialing a number from the mobile view on the webtop it goes to a blank screen after every number dialed.

Works Great.
Camera doesn't work. I didn't try the dialer.

Works great! Thanks buddy

So it works? We can just flash it and we'll be able to access webtop with any micro hdmi?

ATTENTION: wifi modules path was changed in cm-9-0419

In the latest cm9 nightly build - update-cm-9-20120419-NIGHTLY, my wifi is not work with my own kernel.
So, I checked the catalog, and found this: wifi modules was changed.
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/14910/1/BoardConfigCommon.mk
old path: /system/modules/bcm4329.ko
new path: /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
It will cause your wifi not work with custom kernel.
If your wifi is not work, just make a symbol link, type these command in the terminal:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
ln -s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
#Thanks Paragon_X, I forgot to tell you to remount /.
mount -o remount,ro /system
Or, you are the kernel developer, your should put your kernel modules in both path, or link them.
Thanks

I confirm this change as well and the fix worked.

I have the wifi authentication problem. Do I flash the download link from the link you posted?

Okay thanks so regarding the command written... is there spaces in there or am I seeing things?
ln -s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
I'm not familiar with typing in superuser so I have to ask

There are spaces.
If you are unfamiliar with the spaces, then you will be unfamiliar with the before and after commands around that command too:
mount -o remount,rw /system
and
mount -o remount,ro /system

Thanks for the fix!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA

Thanks that will be handy for surprised users, if CM actually thought things through, they would link the dirs to allow a transition time where kernels work with modules in old location and new location.

Hi,im kinda really noob at this stuff atm but do we type this in command prompt or terminal emulator (or any other program like that). And can someone confirm the code is:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
ln -s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
#Thanks Paragon_X, I forgot to tell you to remount /.
mount -o remount,ro /system

the "fix" is included in the latest trinity kernels. wifi works with the newest cm9(nightlies and kangs), older cm9, and every other rom.

Im using matrix kernel v19 cfs and the latest CM9 v7. Trying to get the wifi working now and its hard.
Heres what i have done using terminal emulator
Typed in "su". Pressed enter. I granted super user permissions.
Typed in "mount -o remount,rw /system" . Pressed enter. Didnt say anything
Typed in "ln -s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko". Pressed Enter
It showed up "link failed File exists"
now its changed to "255|[email protected]:/". Before it was "[email protected]:/"
I than typed in "mount -o remount,ro /system"
My wifi still doesnt work

I'll reply here to. The reason you can not link (ln) is that there is a file where you are trying to add a "shortcut" just remove the bcm*.ko file in /system/lib/modules and copy the module from /system/modules there. I used root explorer then it's just cut and paste

I still have no luck. Is the error everyone getting the authentication problem? and simply wifi indicator wont popup?

For all the people who dont get this too well, especielly me. Could an experienced, someone who knows this, write out the complete instructions and codes to do it. Preferably in detail because some of us have no idea what we are suppose to do. And suggest what type of programs we should be using. thanks in advance.

Ok. Let's take it from the start. When android boots it loads the kernel to handle all the drivers and inner workings of the OS. It also loads modules, that's optional drivers loaded on demand. Now CM9, used to load it's modules from /system/modules but has changed it's location to /system/lib/modules. This is new to the people making custom kernels which kernel installs it's modules in the wrong place. This makes the new kernel try to load the old module but fails because of different kernel source versions. Now, our task is to move the new module in /system/modules to /system/lib/modules overwriting the old one.
Start a terminal.
Type su and enter to become superuser which is the only user with rights to change system files.
Now if there is a box asking you to allow this, press allow.
Now type:
mount -o remount, rw /system
This will make the system folder and child folders writable.
type:
rm /system/lib/modules/bcm*
That will remove the old module.
Type:
cp /system/modules/bcm* /system/lib/modules
Reboot and it should work.
