Database Develop

More stock live wallpapers working!

I got the stock live wallpapers Grass, Galaxy, and Water working brilliantly. Nexus doesn't work here, but Nexus Revamped in the market (same thing, only customizable) works perfectly.
Download this apk: http://db.tt/ur0c98s
It won't install, so use either adb or use Root Explorer instructions below . . .
Root Explorer:
Copy the file. Go to to system/app. Set r-w. Paste. Set the permissions for the file the same as the other apks in that folder. They should now work! If not, try a reboot.
adb commands:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
cd system/app
mv LiveWallpapers.apk system/app/LiveWallpapers.bak
exit
adb push LiveWallpapers.apk system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk
adb reboot

it works for me.
btw the command to set the permissions is
chmod 644 /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk

Will this mess up any of the live wallpapers that I already have installed?
Also, could you post step by step installation instructions using adb?

No, your other Live Wallpapers will be fine. OP updated with adb commands.

This worked great, thanks! I really love the "water" live wallpaper, but couldn't figure out how to get it.

Does /dev/block/mtd3 equal /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 ?? I used mmcblk0p5 successfully. I didn't try mtd3, in case it was some reserved disk location. Thanks.

I know this is an old thread but thought I would try any way. Does anyone have the modified apk that allows these (galaxy, water) to work on the stock rooted Nook? The link in the OP is dead. I have LWP working but can't get these to function. If someone could share the file, it would be much appreciated

ADWLauncher w/Widgets & Corrected Notification Bar

Hello everybody, first time actually posting here but i figured i'd share on here
what i found out through trial and error... Since there is not much posting going
on here, hopefully it helps those who can't figure this out.
NOTE: there are some graphical glitches if you have widgets on your screen,
the picture may get stuck in the notification bar after rebooting, basically just open any app
and the notification bar will reset.
First, install ADWLauncher or any custom launcher you prefer.
then install AppWidgetPicker from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
Rename it to AppWidgetPicker.apk
then open up adb/terminal and:
adb remount
adb push AppWidgetPicker.apk /system/app/
then you need to correct the permissions (VERY IMPORTANT)
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/AppWidgetPicker.apk
for safe measures, reboot.
now you should have a working custom launcher with widgets...
Now it leaves us with one problem, the Notification bar overlays a blue taskbar
and back button over the clock and rest of the notification bar.
Now there are 2 ways i've found to fix this. i've heard about freezing the
EmotionUI Launcher but i have no idea what that means, so i've come up
with this.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LAUNCHER INSTALLED BEFORE PROCEEDING!
Head back into adb:
adb remount <--important
adb shell
when in shell ($)
su <--important
cd /system/app/
ls
now your looking for Launcher.apk & Launcher.odex
either (backup both Launcher.apk & Launcher.odex!)
mv /system/app/Launcher.apk /sdcard/Launcher.apk
mv /system/app/Launcher.odex /sdcard/Launcher.odex
or just completely remove it!
rm /system/app/Launcher.*
after this, Hit your home button and BAM!
if your wondering, yes the Emotion widgets DO WORK you may have a proble
where the row or column size don't show when placing it, but u can just fill it in,
then resize to your liking.
this can also be done in root explorer.

[Request] Theme howto - Mac centric

Can one of the authors of the 3 themes that have been made for the XOOM grace the community with a quick down and dirty howto?
What Scripts are needed?
What tools do you use?
Steps to open APK
Steps to repackage APK
Do we need to sign it? If so how?
Before I get flamed:
I have google'ed and there are allot of tutorials for others devices but I would like to see a tried and true method for the XOOM - with the current state of things (backup options) I am not feeling very adventurous so I would rather get some info from those whom have it down and a good process, Ideally this would get sticky so we would have a point of reference for future authors.
So if you have a few mins. today can you jot down the steps above and we can start to compile a nice howto?
Thanks,
----- My trial and errors -----
I will do a small modification to the SystemUI.apk to change the 3 icons on the bottom left launcher.
** Assumptions: Reader is using a Intel Mac, and has SDK and mac ports installed.
Download APKManager as suggested
Install SOX - for mac
Code:
sudo port install sox
APK Manager only comes in two flavors that I found, Windows and Linux, take the Linux one and build any other packages we might need
Code:
sudo port install p7zip
sudo port install optipng
Remove supplied optipng and aapt tools as they were compile for linux and are in ELF format so we can't exec them but we have our own now.
create a directory to work from
Code:
mkdir mytheme
Copy the script and the other fold in to your workspace:
Code:
cp -r Script.sh other ../mytheme
Enter your workspace and extract SystemUI.apk
Code:
cd ../mytheme
don't forget to make Script.sh and stuff other executable
chmod +x (or 755) Script.sh
chmod +x (or 755) -R other/*
./Script.sh
choose option 0
type: /system/app/SystemUI.apk
choose option 1
open a new tab
cd ../mytheme
cd out
Now you have a extracted / decompiled version of the systemui.apk that you can modify.
More to come...

Modify SystemUI.
Download APKManager. It is pretty self explanatory.

Okay,
So I finished my theme tutorial and as the post above stated it was very simple to follow along, I will update the first post and finish off the tutorial so others can learn,
Here is an image of my finial change, I used some icons from Gnome to change the 3 bottom left buttons as I think the theme shipped w/ xoom is good just those darn buttons are not very good looking.

Thanks,
Here is the SystemUI.apk
MD5 (SystemUI.apk) = 8c998de760fa36bd7b447538f48dc96c
first time distributing so backup yours just in case I did it wrong
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk .
adb push ~/Downloads/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
Cheers,

where do I do this step:
Remove supplied optipng and aapt tools as they were compile for linux and are in ELF format so we can't exec them but we have our own now.

I figured it out

2. Now using Root explorer, go to /system/app
3. Mount the system to r/w.

6. Now press & hold the app and select Permissions
7. Select only the options given below. Now REBOOT & enjoy.....

The new market is incredibly slow compared to old market on my IncS CM7. quickly reverted back to old market. doesn't seem worth it just yet.

The new, and old, Market is very fast with this App.
Im using "Google DNS".

I can't see my own apps anymore in this market

Why in the new versions, the Market doesn't remember what I installed previously !?? It would be great if there was a way to remember what I installed and redownload it after a Full WIPE for example.... Why did they took away that option from us ?!

I find the new Market v3.3.11 is faster than the old one. As what Enes_81 and Me4oKyX mentioned, the installed apps in the phone is not being seen. I think that is the only part missing in the layout but it is still accessible when you press Menu button.

Market updated

what's the lateste version?

hmm i can't revert to the old market after flashing this one..

i just updated to a pervious version , trying yours right now , thanks

[Q] Google play store

I was having issues with my google play store so I clicked "uninstall updates" and now it is gone. I don't have a market at all so I need to know which folder the vending.apk file goes in so I can manually reinstall it.
Can anyone tell me where to place the apk file?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hopfully this will help.

I tend to see the Market/Play Store hiding in /system/app/Vending.apk

Just download/install it from http://goo.gl/iRtA7 and make sure unknown sources is checked in settings and you should be good.

Thank you for all of the help. I finally got it installed but the weird thing is in the system/app folder the file is called phonesky.apk and is version 3.4.7 and in the data/app folder it is called com.android.vending and is version 3.5.16. I am not sure if the versions are supposed to match or not. I'm thinking maybe I should replace the older version with the newer and see what happens?

I'm not sure how your phone is set up but this is what happened to mine.
My phone is currently flashed 904 leaked update, Safestrap dualboot Eclipse 2.2 902.
Market would not work properly because of GooglePlay update. I ended up having to use Titanium Backup on my unsafe system to backup the GooglePlay app.
After the backup I went into the Market and uninstalled it on my "safe" system Eclipse 2.2. Note that phonesky.apk was no longer needed and it deleted the file.
Reinstalled GooglePlay through TB on my ROM and have not had the connection/download issues since.
Note that phonesky.apk in the /system/app folder is no longer there (confirmed in ESFileExplorer).
Also com.android.vending.apk is in the /system/app folder not in /data/app on my phone.
I would replace phonesky.apk with the com.android.vending.apk.
This basically deletes the market and loads Play Store as your app market.
