Hi
I need to replace 3 system files namely (libaudio.so , libaudioflinger.so, libaudiopolicy.so) so that "Total Recall Android by Killer Mobile" can work on my captivate. I replaced themonce before and bricked my ph. Now I had to ODIN it back to Eclair.
How do I replace these files and not brick it again. Are there file permissions that needs to be matched if yes what permissions & how?
Those files would have to be modified in order to not soft brick your phone. Your best option is to just flash firefly which has that feature

Also ud have to change permissions on the files before rebooting. It should look like
XXO
XOO
XOO
where x are checks and os are unchecked

What do you mean by firefly has that feature. To record calls OR the libraries that I need to replace.
Sorry to reopen this old thread.
the option to record calls

I i want to modify build.prop, will i need a program to find it in my phone? i found the one in root file explorer but it wont let me modify it so i can make icons bigger . Any help for the noob. Only asking as new thread because i have friends who want to find out too...
If you long press on the file in root explorer you can thumb down to: open with text editor...
Then after you save it it automatically makes a copy of the original file just in case you need to revert

When you open root explorer you will see a box at the top that says Mount RW...tap on that

It ends up that I don't have root explorer and can't buy it. Is there another program like that, that I can use.

Even though you're on another phone, if your rom is in a zip format. You can simply:
- Unzip the rom
- Locate the build.prop
- Open it with wordpad or notepad++
- Edit it
- Save it
- Rezip the rom
- Flash
Well he would also have to edit the update script if he doesn't use a program like winrar or 7zip. Simply extracting the rom zip and making edits to the bp then rezipping the rom won't work. When he goes to flash it if I'm not mistaking it will give the update script error.

My mom has a captivate running stock android 2.1.
I only enabled lagfix on her phone and nothing else.
After the official froyo came out I was thinking about updating it.
I have a few questions about it. Please answer as many as you can...
1. Will all apps disappear?
2. If yes for #1 do I need to get titanium backup?
3. Do I disable lagfix?
Please help.. thank you

Here's your answer, search the forums. You will find it.
1. All apps will dissapear! Be warned
2. You should use titanium backup thats a good idea but the kb1 must be rooted and sideloading enable to get them all back (use super one click) also put the titanium backup folder on external sd or on computer just in case
3. YES DISABLE THE LAGFIX VERY IMPORTANT

Thanks for the reply!. Would have caused a great trouble if I didn't question this...
Anyway just wondering, if I just had the captivate and did not know anything about root/flash/etc I would have just updated and gotten everything deleted right?
Did Samsung mention the fact that all my apps would have disappeared?. I just think its unfair to some people....

With normal android devices this would not have been an issue as the apps reinstall when you light into your Google account but that feature is missing from the Galaxy line

Yea, you should take all the important folders off your internal sd card like the titanium backup folder and put them spmewhere on you computer, that's what I did and once I updated I got all my files back, I still needed to root/enable sideloading to get my apps from TiBu back
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yes, it would have gotten deleted even if you hadn't upgraded to the ji6 build of froyo

Is that true? Now it makes sense why nothing seems to happen when I go to a new rom.
No clue... Probably a comp or browser

Hello fellow xda members. I had a problem the other day. I installed sgs tools and tried downloading a different launcher. It loaded the launcher fine but I wasn't satisfied. I tried restoring it but it gives the error "folder not found." I was wondering if anybody knows how to reinstall the built in default tw launcher and if I can possibly restore the layout.

I'm sure you could find the apk with a search.
Are you running a custom rom?
No, I'm runnin default android 2.2 froyo. Rooted, but nand backup doesn't work either. A few months ago, I tried backing up with rom manager, but after rebooting, their still wasn't any backups availible to restore. When I boot into system recovery, it doesn't even open cyogenmod reovery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
CM revovery? Stock 2.2? I'm confused.
I tried. Google doesn't show any, only custom launchers and I don't want that.

Bump...
Did you manually check the sgs tools folder for the backup of your stock launcher?
I've been using the gingerbread launcher from the market and I really like it. Just putting it out there to think about it.
Sorry I meant clockwork recovery mod. THAT didn't work or I wouldn't be asking for a way to reinstall default tw launcher. Thanks for all the current ideas
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
If you still need it, I attached it for you. Just drop it in the system/app folder. Good luck.
Never mind.someone else got it.
OMG THNX FOR ALL YOUR GUYZ (or girls if any) HELP!!! THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Oh, nvm. It didn't work. Thanks tho Keyvin M.

Thanks for all you guyz help ( again) but it didn't work so ill just stick with a gb launcher
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
The one from the market is super easy. And if you accidentally delete it, it's there to reinstall
This is the one from my phone. Dont know if it is what you are looking for as i am currently running Continuum, but good luck.
I think you might need the .odex file as well since I recall seeing that you are running stock 2.2. Did you delete that file?
I'm not sure. How do I check?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You can use Root explorer or a similar app and navigate to system/app. See if there are .odex files for the corresponding apk's. If the one for the launcher is missing than that would cause the issue. What happens when you try to run the launcher? does it just force close?
edit: I was able to find the apk and .odex file from a stock 2.2 build. Just drop it in hopefully this works. Just unzip and extract the files manually.
I can't find it. All there is is the .odex for the tw launcher wallpaper

^ I was editing my post while you posted, in case you missed it, I added the files you need.
Probabely quite simple but I can't seem to figure it out... :s
Where do personal (ie .mp3) notifications and ringtones go?
/mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications doesn't seem to work.
Neither does writing the different folders with or without capitals.
I've tried several other combinations as well (/mnt/sdcard/audio, /mnt/sdcard/notifications, etc.)
It used to work on 2.2 and come to think of it broke with the upgrade to 2.2.1.
Is there anyone here who can help me?
Sincerely yours,
Jeroen.

And your phone should be rooted and a root explorer is required for this.
Thanks
Thank you for your responses.
My phone is rooted and I already tried pushing the files onto /system
However it should (and used to) work by putting the audio files *somewhere* on /mnt/sdcard - but where?!
The HTC uses that /UI kind of folder structure. The i9000 uses (so it seems) a different one. Android 2.2 allowed me to put audio notification files in /mnt/sdcard/notifications.
Information i gave was for 2.2.1 or before file is in front of me as described .
jje
I see. I'm currently on 2.3.3 any idea on how to make it work?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You would need to open a 2.3.3 rom and locate the files .
jje
I think I'm being misunderstood...
Where can I put .mp3 files on /mnt/sdcard so they show up in notifications selection list on a i9000 running 2.3.3?
I know where to put these files using root access on /system. So no need to look 'in' a 2.3.3 ROM
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Its weird this because I had though the opposite. MP3 tones that I made in ringmaker that appeared in the ringtone list on my previous ROM (MIUI) appeared in the notifications list not ringtones!
Anyway, for me its sd/media/audio and I have a /ringtones and /notifications folder in there. They didn't appear until a reboot after I lagfixed though

Im having an issue changing my shutdown animation. There is one in another forum called tv power off animation i am trying to load. I have a captivate running cognition. I put the file in the system/ media/video folder but its not working. Any ideas? or advice? thanx for any help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
I believe that animation is a Gb only. If it where to work on froyo Im almost sure you would need to modify files for it to use that anim. Assuming its even possible.
i think you have that backwards....
its for froyo the shutdowm .qmg for gb hasnt been modded....the best you can do on gb is delete shutdown.qmg and then you will just have the "POWER OFF shutting down" window and then it powers off. no blue 'S' or animation at all
although the OP didnt specify what cog hes on or give a link to the animation in question so it could be a new one for gb and he is on froyo...
but i dont think so...
I thought he ment the crt animation that GB has.
Ed05 gingerbread power of animation is the forum i found it in and i am running cog5 v 2. so it sounds like it wont work on the captivate? in the forum its for the fascinate.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
i think the problem here is you are confusing SHUTDOWN animation with screen-off animation....my guess is that anything made for the fascinate wont have the exact same framework as the captivate....
Well in the forum i am referring to it is a shutdown animation not a screen off animation. And thats why i am asking to see if it will work?

Anyway you could perhaps maybe idk link us so we know what you're talking about exactly?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
what you are requesting is a mod for a 2.2.2 rom...and you are trying to run it on a GB rom
its just shutdown animation. i dont think GB uses the same animations that froyo used, so if its not working, you will need to find one for GB.
Which brings us back to my first post...

that would be an accurate statement if he was looking to replace the BOOT ANIMATION, but he is looking to replace SHUTDOWN animation...
So is there any custom shutdown animations for gb on my captivate? cuz i cant find any.
