[Q] want to skin MixZing...where is the .apk?! - Android Themes

hey guys. now that i've learned how to mod apps to match my liking, i wanted to mod the one app i use the most.
i can't seem to find where Mixzing's installation folder is? i've searched /data/app, /data/app-private, /system/app, /sdcard/data, /sdcard/Android...where do the .apks for these apps that aren't under /data/app go???
and which apk should i be editing, the basic .apk or the upgrade .apk? (i assume basic).
thanks

It's in data/app
Something like "com.developername.mixzing.apk".

i dont mean to be rude but did you read my first post? it's not in /data/app...

It's in data/app. Uninstall it, reinstall it and sort by date in root explorer if you're having trouble finding it.
I'll just save the trouble and post it for you

Unless you have A2SD it's in data/app.
Look better next time. It's there.

I use Apps 2 SD to move it to the SD card....so where in there?

I guess /sdcard/app or something along those lines.

just did that. uninstalled. reinstalled. went back to /data/app and it's not there. organized it by date and it's not there.
i have Move2SD enabler, so it's installing apps directly on the SD card. that's why I asked in the OP where else besides /data/app apps get installed.
i can use the .apk you posted, but when they update the app in the future i'll be in the same position. i need to find my own .apk

couldn't find where it was being stored in the /sdcard, so i just moved it back to the phone's memory and then got the .apk from /data/app.
here's my first skinning attempt. pretty much what i was going for. matches my black windows 7 look

guys i'm having an ISSUE...anyone know what's going on?
please read...
tried the regular method using .apk manager. if i unzip/edit/zip/sign and try to install, i get "Application not installed"...if i do unzip/edit/zip as system app (no signature) and try to install, same message. if i do unzip/edit/zip as regular app but dont sign it, same message. if i edit the file with 7Zip and try to install, also get the same message...
if i unzip/edit/zip/sign and try to copy/paste over the existing .apk in /data/app i get force closes when i try to open the app.
now, if i edit the .apk with 7-zip and i copy it over the existing .com.mixzing.basic-1.apk in /data/app then it works! the widgets work, the app works. all is well....until i reboot the phone. then i come back and the app wont launch, as if it wasn't there.
i go to /data/app/ the .apk is there, but it wont launch. if i try to install it from there, it also gives me "Application not installed"...interestingly enough, when i try to install it, it tells me it would overwrite an existing application. yet when i go to the Market, it shows as Mixzing NOT being installed and lets me install a new copy just fine.
if i install again from the market, and copy/paste my copy over it in /data/app, it works again...until I reboot...and the cycle repeats.
what am i doing wrong here?

Organize your Android apps into groups.
GroupHome is a program that organizes all the apps you've installed on your phone. It automatically groups together apps using the categories shown in Android Market. This grouping approach helps you find apps faster. You can long-press on an app to uninstall it or view its details.
Requirements:
ยท Android OS
Pretty damn cool actually. Would definitely be great for people with tons of apps installed.
Looks great, but whatever you attached only has a file folder included. There's nothing to install, no apk.
EDIT: Google is my friend. Searched and found it: http://www.jsharkey.org/blog/2008/12/15/grouphome-organize-your-android-apps-into-groups/
whoops lol I zipped up an empty folder
Fixed it...sorry about that.
SWEET! I was just thinking this was something that was really needed! Thanks. Who is the developer? This is definitely needed for the sliding dock. I hate having my apps shuffled around whever I ad one or two.. It's so hard to find stuff.
how do i add this app? details please
it's annoying how you can't actually replace the launcher with this. that would be awesome. using this as a seperate app, which you have to load from the launcher seems stupidly pointless to me. i think i'll wait.
the only thing I hate about this app is that it starts slow at the first time (fine) and after one or more apps get uninstalled (erhhh) and after I do a restart (grrrhh).

first go to settings > Application settings > and check unknown sources.
Then place the apk on the root of your SD card
Then go to the app market and install app installer.
Start app installer and it will find the apk on your sd card and install it.
You can remove the apk after installation.

There is also a app called "Linda file manager" that works great too for more then just running the installer.

Like I said you can use "Linda file manager".
or try apkInstaller or AppsInstaller but just be 100% sure you typed either one in EXACTLY how it's spelled or you won't get anything

[MOD] 2.2-Style Notification/Power Menu/Settings Icons for 2.1 Captivates

Figured I'd share these since I threw 'em together after using 2.2 for a bit and going back to 2.1...
They're modified framework-res.apk, Mms.apk, and Settings.apk files. You can copy and paste them over the existing apks via RootExplorer (which is the method I used), or you can push them via adb...provided your permissions are setup and you don't get the "access denied" messages.
I think I managed to get all the notification/settings menu/power menu icons skinned. Most of the dialogue pop-ups are also the dark blue now, instead of the regular blue from 2.1. Also, the battery meter is basically the stock battery meter, but it's actually accurate. It's the same one used in the Cognition ROMs, minus the numbers.
I've only tested these on my phone, obviously, but they worked on Cognition 2.1 as well as stock 2.1 ROMs.
Instructions:
#1: Rename files by removing "TWEAKED-" portion from file name(s).
#2: Copy or push files to appropriate folders via RootExplorer or adb. (framework-res.apk goes in the "/system/framework/" folder, Mms.apk and Settings.apk go in "/system/app/" folder).
#3: Reboot. Depending on how you copy files over, you might get a force close error before you reboot.
Enjoy!

I just copied the framework/mms/settings apks from both 2.1 and 2.2 to my computer, and then grabbed the image files out of the drawable-hdpi folder in the 2.2 apks...moved those into the 2.1 apks, and then moved the updated apks into the appropriate folders on the phone with RootExplorer.
Hopefully that makes sense. Haha.
Any idea why my battery icon wont show? I have the phone rooted and have Root Explorer installed. I renamed the stock apks and just pasted the new ones in. Also the Power Control widget does not work any more. Says "problem loading widget"

No idea, I've never had either issue. You can try copying the APKs over again and rebooting to see if the battery meter shows again.
None of the APKs should have any effects on the widgets. I don't use Power Control but SwitchPro and everything else works fine.

Also, if you're renaming the stock APKs on the phone with RootExplorer, instead of just making backup copies of them, before copying over the new ones, that could be causing problems. That's the same as actually deleting the stock APKs, which are necessary system files. I've only installed them by overwriting the existing APKs with the new ones, then rebooting.

[APP] EB01 Droid X Multi-Touch Keyboard

I found a Droid X keyboard that will work with our Froyo Fascinates and thought I would share it. This is the original work of Punk.Kaos to get it working for Froyo on the HTC Droid Eris. Here is the original link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021
IT IS NOT MY WORK, I ONLY FOUND IT TO WORK WITH THE FASCINATE FROYO.
Make sure you follow the instructions. This zip is NOT flashable in CWM. You must adb push or manually move these files to the correct locations.
There are two files in the zip,
libjni_latinime.so to /system/lib
droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk to /system/app/
*After you add the files to the correct location, you may find that you have to restart your phone if the keyboard does not show up immediately as Multi-Touch Keyboard in the Input Method List.

Did you try to do this? You do know also that this zip is NOT flashable in CWM!
There are two files in the zip,
push libjni_latinime.so to /system/lib
push droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk to /system/app/
I always have hell with this. I used root explorer to move both of the files to their required place, rebooted and it didn't work. It never does :/ lol
hmm seems to be working ok. Thanks
Mine works using root explorer to push the 2 files per the instructions.

Were you able to get the black keyboard to work? I tried using the v4 flashable zip and now I have input.latin force closes..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Does anyone like this over samsung keypad or android keyboard? Im not sure if this is better than the stock keyboard
No matter what I do it won't work..
I really like how nothing I do in root explorer will take effect at all..changing permissions, renaming files, moving them...nothing takes effect.

Well, not sure where to start...Did you unzip the files you downloaded to the root of your SD card? If so, after that take the file named droidx-keyboard-kaosfix-v3.apk and copy it to the directory /system/app (make sure R/W is enabled in Root Explorer) Next, take the file named libjni_latinime.so and paste it into the directory /system/lib. (It will ask if you want to overwrite the current one; say YES.) Finally, restart your phone and now the keyboard should show up in your Input Method Selection.
I loved the multitouch back in the 2.1 days. I did find a great gingerbread keyboard in the markplace which I like just as much. Search gingerbread keyboard.

Use ADB, it's in system/app/Swype.apk
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd system/app
rm Swype.apk
exit
exit
adb remount
adb push (file location on pc) system/app/
adb reboot
and thats it
***edit** well thats how it is done but scratch that because i just looked in my system/app/ directory and Swype.apk wasnt there anymore i put my own there on old B.O. but i dont know where it is now and forgot where i found the old one, anybody?

I have the lastest swype beta installed and the apk is in /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk
same file name from the BO2.0 zip.
or just use rom toolbox or TI to uninstall it. the site also states that you need to remove /system/lib/libswypecore.so

thanks forgot about the lib its been a while,
well you heard the man get crackin
Just installed it. Grab another keyboard before you try this. BO only has Swype. No other keyboards.
I uninstalled all Swype from system, then deleted anything else that said Swype from the app folder. Pushed the themed Swype to the phone with adb, then reboot. Then for some reason I had to go in with root explorer and physically install the Swype from the apps folder.
Crude and it downgraded my beta to the most recent, not the current version. The theme maker states that the latest version keeps fc'ing and won't take the themes. Oh well, I like it. Goes good with my lunar theme.

looking for a good file copy app

I am looking for an app that can copy files from folder A to folder B as soon as there is file created in folder A. Thanks.
Root explorer
Thanks!
I like Solid Explorer.
I hate solid explorer. It doesnt have the function to copy from external sd card to internal memory...
I use fx explorer for copy n paste. So easy to operate. Copy file or folder, click Home button, brings to to all the storages that you would like to paste to etc.

If you're on a ROM that supports init.d and has busybox, you could make your own with rsync and a cronjob. Now that you've given me the idea, I might try to whack something together to backup my sdcard pictures folder to external SD.
If you don't want to muck around with that, searching Play store for rsync returns some promising looking apps, but I've never used any, sorry.
Be super careful with syncing programs. They're great for backups, but if you set them up to sync in the wrong direction or both directions or something you can find all the files you wanted to backup deleted. Always do a dry run first, or have another backup handy outside the directories you're trying to sync until you're sure everything is setup right.
