There is not much that i miss about the stock apps on the Fascinate. However, I must say that I do miss the awesome music widget that you can pull down the CD (with album art on it) from the top of the screen. Do you think it's possible to port this over to use?
I have tried taking the apk and odex files from the stock rom and placing them into /system/app but it does not work. I'm not sure if voodoo's new ext4 file format is causing permission issues or what, but either way i haven't been able to get it working. Anyone have any ideas on this? If not, anyone up for porting over the app

Are you on JT's rom? if so don't use an apk with an odex, his system is deodex'ed.
Try the following apk, it should work.
I get "application not installed" when I try to install it. Could it be because there is already a Music app called "Music" on Jt's rom?

That is a system file. You can't just install it. You need to replace the original file with that one with adb or root explorer (or something similar).

adb pull /system/apps/musicplayer.apk
backup that version, copy new version into its place.
adb push musicplayer.apk /system/apps/
?? is that how you would do it? or is that even where it is?
I think it's /system/app
regardless, i have tried this and every time i do it my phone goes to black screen after the VZW screen. It will just sit there. Then when I go back and put the original .apk back in place...it boots right up and works. I have a friend trying to go back to the touchwiz calendar who has the exact same problem. Neither of us can figure it out.

Here flash this through CW and see if it still gives you a black screen.
that worked can you make one for the touchwiz calendar apk too? I'd love to know what you did to make it and what the difference is so i can do it myself.
The one part that stinks is that the widget on the lockscreen is a feature of TouchWiz lockscreen, as it's not work on stock. Once I flashed the puzzle lock it worked.

i know some themes change it, but i like the theme i have already. i just want to change the keyboard to a more pleasant look. is there somewhere i can find different ones to download or flash onto my rom? i don't want to use betterkeyboard app, etc.
Here You Go Buddy.
Well i skinned the stock keyboard pretty easily with a few easy techniques.
First check out my theme Ivory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612315 To see if that's what you want. I hope your familiar with themeing or this might be confsing.
-I took the latinIME.apk from cyanogens last rom
-Opened it as a zip and navigated to the res drawable folders
-downloaded the better keyboard skins i wanted (simple black and green)
-pulled the different drawable files from the betterkeyboard apps and replaced the stock cyanogen ones
-resigned apk and flashed inside my theme

haha thats EXACTLY what i tried to do yesterday night! except i got the acore force close thing, & im sure it's because i didn't sign it first. i had an easy auto-sign program but i deleted it a few days ago :| & now i can't find it on here anymore!

haha what are the odds well at least your on the right track!
I would go for editing HTC_IME.apk, just a personal preference i guess, but i think its better, and have played around with editing it a bit myself, and its pretty easy, but you need to be able to do *.9.png files.

Im not sure, are you using stricstons signing tool? how are you flashing it?
What ROM are you trying it on? The new CM ROMs the keyboard is now in the LatinIME.apk instead of the framework-res.apk, but if you are using one of the other ROMs, that may not be the case.

i dont think so, im using a modded apk signing tool i found on here, i lost the link.
and im doing
cp /sdcard/LatinIME.apk(the one i made) /system/app
in terminal emulator.
then after that the keyboard just dissappears. if i restart after that, the keyboard never shows up. if i just try to go back, i get acore force close repeatedly.

yea i know, im on cyanogen's latest.
You may want to try getting Stericson's signing tool. If it is disappearing signing could be the main issue. Since you edit it on your PC, why don't you just push it through adb after signing instead of copying it to your sd and then having to use the terminal?

the thing is though that i used the same signing tool to edit a graphic on a different app & it worked just fine.
i don't have/really know what adb OR sdk is & terminal is the easiest way i know how to do it. i mean does it really make a difference?
its been confirmed that it's not my signing tool because i used the same tool to edit a different app, a battery widget i downloaded from the market. & it worked fine. anyone else can help me?
lets get this working buddy,
Alrighty maybe try flashing the keyboard in an update.zip, just put the latinIME.apk into a folder named app. Then copy a meta inf folder from another theme download, you can use mine. Then send that to a compressed folder, resign and try to flash it. I would try that, I have never had good luck pushing with adb and pulling stuff, I stick with the easy way
yesssss i finally got it to work! it turns out i didnt need the signing tool at all. i took the latinime.apk file from a theme with a skinned keyboard, then i ONLY replaced the keyboard png's, and kept the meta-inf how it was. thanks guys for trying to help
Hey
I've recently started to play a little with theming other peoples lovely work to fit to my phones theme
I just tried the official HTC battery widget, but after i finished my work and wanted to try it out, i saved everything, re-signed the apk, uninstalled the one that was on the phone, placed my new apk on sd card and tried to install it using a file explorer, but after i click install i get the installing screen, followed by "Application not installed", is this because it's an official htc file that it won't let me install it from other places that the add widget menu, or did i do something wrong?
Regards
Rapo
Really?
278 views and no a single one who knows the answer or don't mind to test it out you self to see if it works for you?
You can't sign system apk's with test keys. Use the same META-INF folder that was used in the original apk - copy and paste it.
I've tried both with and without resigning, and nothing worked.
It's not a system file, it's pulled from the SD Card, since it's the widget you can download xtra from the "Get more HTC widgets"
That's why I don't understand why it won't install :/
Push it through adb there should be no errors ther
Just tried pusing the apk trough adb, but didn't see any changes, so tried rebooting phone, and it just started to loop at the boot screen
So had to pull battery and make a nanRestore..
So still needs a solution for how to get the edited htc battery widget to work..
What ROM are you using? An official one from HTC or Modded?
Using SenseHero 2.1 B5.1
The normal one works without problems, but i wanted to edit the color of it to make it fit my theme
Just had a mate looking at it, who knows quite a bit more than me about this, and no matter what he tried he couldn't get it to work either.
So it seems like HTC have made their widgets copy proof
But if anyone knows a way to get around this, please let me know
This is the DX keyboard and has been successfully put onto the fascinate, credit goes to adrynalyne for putting this together. This version should not give you FC errors when you reboot the phone
Needs to be flashed with clockwork!

take a non-multi-touch keyboard and press one key then try to press another key. It will only pick up on the first key that you press.
You can type with 2 fingers but it's like you have to use one finger at a time fairly slow.

Clear the Dalvik cache. It works you guys are just doing something wrong.

**edit*
nevermind....it's gone
Will this work with the vibrant? Running a custom rom?

I originally installed the .apk of this keyboard and got FC's. I cleared the entire devlik cache and installed this .zip via clockwork and I'm still getting FC's. Any ideas?
Alright I figured it out. FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVING A FORCE CLOSE WITH "LATIN" IN THE NAME, these are the steps that I took (if you've already flashed via clockwork):
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE, this is just how I fixed this issue.
1.) Go into system/app and DELETE your DXkeyboard.apk
2.) Go into data/devlik cache and delete the line that has "DX.." in the name (i forgot what its called)
the above two steps thus far are what I DID, they may not be necessary.
3.) unzip the dxkbd file that was in the OP on your desktop
4.) go into "system" and you'll see "app" and "library"
5.) copy the .apk file and .so file from "app" and "library" respectively and put them on your sdcard
6.) using root explorer, move the .so file to system / lib
7.) using root explorer, move the .apk file to system / app
8.) DELETE "latinIME" apk and odex
9.) DELETE latintutorial (or something like that, its right under latinIME odex i believe)
10.) reboot
With the exception of deleting things, thats precisely what the package in the op does.

I couldn't get the first post or the CW zip to work, but following the steps from that last post finally got it working.
I was wondering if it would be possible to take the Messaging .apk from a 2.1 ROM, and push it onto a 2.2 ROM, replacing the 2.2 Messaging app. I don't really like the 2.2 one, as it lags for me, and I can't really change the font sizes or anything.
Also, is it possible to take a 2.1 LatinIME.apk and do the same thing? These are the only two things that I don't really like about Froyo ROMs, because they are both slow on my phone.
Thanks!
I'm no dev or anything so I'm not 100% sure but I think it can be done. I just don't know if it would run I read somewhere where people tried to push apps from a different build and it FC's when the app starts. Also, I was looking into getting the froyo messager on a donut rom to see how it would run and i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752604. I opened it up to see what files we're flashed to get this and it's just the mms.apk. So I'm guessing what you said can be done by getting the mms.apk from a Eclair rom and push it into your system/app/ folder, The question is will it run though?

I think I'm just gonna try it. I'll adb pull the original MMS.apk first, and if the pushed one doesn't work, I'll just push the original back in.
EDIT: Nope, doesn't work.

Hello everyone!
I don't have access to a PC and won't have it in a while, so I was wondering if someone could be so kind and make a CWM flashable .zip of the tw Music Player since the latest Assonance ROM didn't come with it. Preferably one that works with froyo. Thanks in advance!!!!!

You don't need access to a pc. Download a rom that has it. Use a file manager to extract the rom to your sd card and move it to system/app.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.

Thanks for this. I forgot to mention that I had tried it numerous times with no success and although the one you just posted does appear in my app drawer, it force closes as soon as I open it. I really don't wanna change my rom but I will have to if I can't get this player to work. Is there any permissions that I would have to modify? Thanks again.
I don't if it's permissions or if it requires something else? I guess you could always change the permission on it to 777 and see if that works. If not I don't really know.
I actually found a flashable .zip in the fascinate forum and it works except it force closes when you switch to disc mode and when u use the controls from the notification bar.
