[MOD] Stock Battery and UA for Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.1 - Xoom Themes and Apps

For those running Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.1 who want the stock Browser User-Agent string and stock battery icons, I am providing an update zip to be flashed using CWM that contains a modified framework-res.
All credit for the updated framework-res goes to solarnz. I pestered him enough about the User-Agent string, and he finally cranked out a new framework-res for me. I pulled the stock battery icons and packaged this up for easy installation.

Thank you! I've been wanting this for... forever. Back to Tiamat ROM for me. Excellent work.

Mobile-optimized sites will be delivered rather than desktop sites. One good example is Google docs, which is pretty unusable in desktop mode.

Brilliant thread, installed it right just I saw it.

Stupid question:
Does the "mobile" UAString patch fix the native Google Docs app? I'm not able to do anything useful with spreadsheets from the native app using Hammerhead. But frankly, I didn't get to use it much before I installed Hammerhead, so I don't know if it's a UAString issue or not. No pan or scroll is available, rendering most of my spreadsheets unavailable.

Yes. This will make the Google Docs app usable. However, Google has a long way to go before editing is easy (especially with spreadsheets).

I like documents to go better, but it is like fifteen bucks for the full version

Now my only concern is that I'm running Tiamat's Hammerhead with StockeRedv301 theme from Bazar617.
This will almost certainly poopoo my theme.
I'm trying to get a good themeing/modding install setup - so I can fiddle with stuff - but I haven't done anything like this since college (by "this" I mean coding other than PHP/SQL).
When I was in college "Java" was something you drank, "broadband" was a group of female musicians, "linux" was how hillbilly's describe a strange cat, and "android" was what made Andy's butt hurt. Heck, "google" was unheard of and "Motorola" made cop radios.
--- I just realized (duhhh) that the "native" google docs app is not what I would call an "App" at all. It's basically just a chromeless browser instance that loads docs.google.com via the android browser - that's why the UAString b0rks it.

ok another noober question...how is applying this zip different than typing about:debug in the browser and manually changing this ua string? sorry i am new and tryingto learn.

UA string only
Is it possible to only change the UA string and not the battery icons as well? I kind of like the battery icons but hate the UA string, I can change that as needed.

Yess, exactly what I've been wishing for, even fixed the incredibly annoying broken search-via-address bar issue. Thanks!!

Uncon: thanks so much for this, I wish the UA string mod was not built in to the rom and were offered as a mod instead. PS I love the avatar, was my favorite adult swim show.

[DEV] Browser w/incognito mode from CM6

Would anyone want the CM6 Browser w/Incognito Mode ported to the vibrant? I just contacted @Optedoblivion on twitter maybe we can get this started. Can we just pull over the apk? Or do we have to modify any framework files?
If anyone is interested in getting this started feel free to share it here. I'd be also interested in porting over some other CM6 features. We might not get a full CM6 rom for a while so why not port over some of the stuff?
Why do you need that? what exactly are you going to do with it
I for one am very interested in this and any other possible ports!

Incognito mode aka porn mode
I'm for getting that ported, useful feature, even some might be embarrassed to admit it.
I don't know much about porting but I can code pretty well
Just take his AOSP Rom, it's already modded and only need the kernel change to one of my kernel's.. it boots perfect & you could add back Twiz if needed..
I had it running for a few days, only thing left to due was Mod the Dialer & contacts to stock & I never had time to look it over..
I too would love this app for JI6 Stock. I like the stock ROM and like to just mod it to work. The Music port from CM6 is amazing.
I would kill to have any version of the CM browser working on my Vibrant. I miss my options to turn off the zoom controls, among others, and despite everyone saying that Incognito Mode is solely for porn, it's a handy feature for debugging websites. Want to be certain that you're not working from cached data, or with cookies that are left over from your last session? Incognito Mode to the rescue! Turn on Incognito Mode and you don't have to wipe all your saved history, cookies, and cache, but you can still check out your newest changes to your site as if you had.
But I think the main road block to a port (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that it would mean loosing the basic Flash support that we now enjoy in the stock browser.
No one has actually tried to just copy over the files, I imagine?

I'm interested in being able to change the useragent properly... A simple copy over won't work. A genius like eugene373 would have to handle this probably Lool.
I haven't spent much time debugging it myself so I honestly don't know. I could try compiling it from source from CM6 git and logcatting from there but I'm a busy guy...

A simple copy over might work using the fascinate browser with acompanying libs. Possibly without. Im pretty sure the fascinate is using the stock eclair browser which can switch user agents. If that works properly assuming that my lack of sleep hasnt made me retarded yet. It shouldnt be too difficult to get the cm5 browser to work on our 2.1 roms. I mean thats a positive step right?
Edit: so I was wrong about the fascinate. But I have gotten the cm5.0.8 browser to load up but force closes when I enter browser settings. Any one interested in taking a look?
Why not just use the commands on the current browser works just fine by typing into the browser about:debug for debugging options obviously about:useragent to switch modes other commands I havent found a use for so I don't remember them but you can google them.

Tweaks for Master's Axura Rom

Just wondering what you guys have tweaked on Master's rom (the one I currently love using) to make it run the way you like it.
I have:
1. Reverted the dialer to the stock by copying the dialertabactivity to /system/app using root explorer
2. Found and installed a working Wifi calling apk (the first 2 I tried had various problems no incoming voice etc.)
3. Changed the system font to something a little more standard looking.
4. Changed the browser setting to Autofit Pages, so that when you double tap or turn the phone to landscape/portrait the words reorder and are easily readable. Changed the text size in Email app to small so it doesn't look huge (default is medium)
Oh and if you use his rom and enjoy it as much as I do, donate to master. His work has been beyond awesome so far.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748916 (where I got the font from, many others to choose from)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807116 (where I got the wifi calling from, using the one for htcvision)
I added the Black theme located (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845530)
And a black Multi touch keyboard ( some where in the themes section )
Guess I'm kind of not using Axura lol.
I love the Aura for battery life & speed, but the default theme is fugly.
Anyone has a way to change the notification bar to more stockish?
Thank you and god for getting rid of that crappy dialer and the font..
worst thing that master did..
thank you so much
I very much dislike the dialer too, I like the stock original dialer. Going to try and install that. Also don't like the font.
One last thing, I very much like the android keyboard, where can I get the apk for it? I'm using the htc keyboard right now, but for the life of me I can't turn of haptic feedback, even though vibration and haptic is turned off everywhere.

Luck is not on my side today. Tried replacing the dial apk with the one you provided, and it says I don't have enough space. I even deleted the one master provided, then went and tried to place the one you provided into system/app still says i don't have enough space. Huh?
One other thing, I don't like how the pull down notification bar is transparent, makes reading notifications in the pull down annoying when you see other stuff below it, will changing the theme change this to a non-transparent pull down?
Brand new axura user.
Wow, that dailer is indeed ugly.
Thanks for the stock version
You can also adb push the Dialer
One of the primary reasons I stuck with Axura over Macnut or Obsidian was the beautiful theme Master has put over it.
Why would you guys use Axura and then reskin it?
ya, i just went ahead installed the Font and selected it in the settings. Much better.
I also went ahead copied the provided Dialer app and put it in System/App - again much better.
Keep coming with your tweaks bud.
We like the animation however the font is not compatible to vietnamese and the dial is not looking good. Just my though

I like Masters roms the best. The affects are great, very smooth and very fast. I like his themes as well. Not sure why people don't like the dialer its different but that is what makes it nice.
I am wondering is there a way to get the drop down icons in the notification bar back from 2.0.3 I really like those alot better than the 2.0.5 plain icons.

Are you using root explorer? If so you just have to unzip the file and drop the apk into the /system/app directory. Make sure you are in r/rw mode when you tryo to copy it or it will not let you make changes in the /system/app folder. After that just reboot the phone. You do not have to install it. Any apk in that folder wil automatically work upon reboot. It should show up as the "phone" icon in the all programs menu.
The font is terrible. It is cool for about 5 seconds and then it is just annoying and hard to read. Makes you wonder if things you can't see are as screwy as the things you can see.
Thanks for posting an alternative

Yes using root explorer. yes I unziped the file first, isolated the dialer apk. Tried moving it to system/app while in r/w but to no avail. Says not enough space.

Enabling Facebook Contact Sync in Ice Cream Sandwich

I'm using Koush's CM9 Alpha 12 ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228 with the Franco kernel, and I'm saddened that it's sorely missing one big feature that i'm used to in the NSCollab ROM i came from. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959282)
In the stock Android 2.3.3 that came with the phone, if the Facebook app was installed, it could sync contacts over from your account, including phone numbers, emails, and pictures. The OTA 2.3.4 removed that function, as Google had deemed it as a violation of their TOS.
NSCollab (based off of CM7), which i'd used since 2.3.5, enabled that function somewhere in the system files, and it was fully usable, no questions asked. The CM9 build i'm using, however, lacks that feature.
I've compared both of their build.prop files and don't see any differences that would stand out, and I'm at an impasse here. I'm almost determined to find the setting in the CM7 ROM that allows Facebook syncing on this device and be able to use it in CM9. I'm not sure i want to comb every system file, though. Any assistance?
The reason it works in custom ROMs is because they patch it to work. It's not a build.prop issue I do not believe. It is a bit deeper than that. Hopefully someone can she some light to get it working. It's a feature I use as well.
But that's the explanation "why" it does not work.. because it's not supposed to by design lol.
by no means do I have an answer but, syncmypix in the market is a decent alternative for the tome being.

I'd determined that long ago, but i'm almost certain there's a flag somewhere in the system files. My cousin has an HTC Thunderbolt (horrible phone on the stock ROM) running the stock ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.5, and it's enabled on it. I know that Google specifically disabled it on their flagship phones, and i want to know how they did it and how to reverse it.

I have tried Syncmypix, Friendcaster, and another one that tries to re-enable native syncing, but none of them work near as well as native syncing.
In GB it was in system\app\ContactsProvider.apk , one line need to be added which whitelists com.facebook.katana. Maybe it's the same in ICS.
[edit]
There, I looked it up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978470
Here you can find the official statement from Google about Facebook sync:
http://www.androidguys.com/2011/02/23/google-drops-facebook-sync-nexus/
Anyway you can sync your contacts using Friendcaster and you can update your contact pics using syncmypix

I'd considered that, even set up a decompiling environment, but never got around to trying it. Just tried it, and found out that comparing the two ContactsProvider.apk files (from CM7 and CM9), that ICS does not use the arrays.xml that Gingerbread did. Adding it in, recompiling it, and signing it results in FC's and wiping out your contacts storage. Thank god for Titanium backup.
Edit: Derp, found out system apps aren't supposed to be signed. Trying again.

I well know what Google did, and i'm very disappointed in them. And i'd rather not use third-party apps if we can enable native syncing at the system level.
Pushing the unsigned apk doesn't cause FC issues, but it still doesn't sync. The Facebook app cuts off at "Other Settings". Does anyone want to test out the apk for me, see if they get the same results?
The APIs are different in ICS and doing the white list trick may not work. Check out the smali folder because there could be stuff that needs to be changed in there too...

I've already tried this. You'll be able to get the account to sync in Accounts, but the new contacts app is substantially different from the Gingerbread one... Like ^ says, I think a few smali edits have to be made to include this properly.

Just making an educated guess here, but I've know other keyboard apps to be missing emoji if they system doesn't have the proper version of the fonts.
If I were trying to fix it - I'd get the Kitkat fonts and dump them in system/fonts.

You *might* have to symlink them too...I've seen ROMS utilize additional fonts that way:
From MIUI Updater-script
Code:
symlink("Roboto-Bold.ttf", "/system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf");
symlink("Roboto-Regular.ttf", "/system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf",

Couldn't get joy with desk clock. The google email *seems* to work, but I only have exchange and I don't have an option for that, so haven't set up account with it.

DO NOT FLASH THIS. It was a test I made and uploaded for myself...it copies everything to system/app and gave me some f/c issues.
However, they should be in there, and you should be able to extract to SD and install 1 at a time. LMK if anything is missing - I'm not at my home PC right now...
Ok yea i'm fairly sure the colored emoji font is this NotoColorEmoji.ttf that is in the 4.4 fonts folder. Abnormally larger size for a font. And well the name is kind of obvious lol. Now Sense has the colored emojis built in via AndroidColorEmoji-htc.ttf. Theres also an AndroidEmoji.ttf. My guess is this keyboard is looking for the Notocolor font. Placed it in the folder. But nothing. Maybe it needs symlinked. But to what?

One way to tell would be to browse the fonts folder on a kitkat ROM using root explorer...it shows the symlinks in the file info...

Sense 6 - missing HTC Live Wallpaper (multiple pictures)

Hi all I have just upgraded to Sense 6 and it seems HTC have removed the live wallpaper that lets you select multiple pictures from the gallery. I loved that wallpaper, is anyone else seeing the same or could someone upload the wallpaper I am referring to?
Thanks.
Yes, it's not there. I still have the old 5.5 ROM backup tough (I used it to restore old Notification sounds) so if you can tell me the name, I can upload it for you.

that is very kind of you. I really can't remember, i know it was in the HTC Live Wallpapers, maybe had the word album or gallery in the title? Why would they remove it, I thought it was excellent...

It is called HTCImageWallpaper.apk - unfortunately it does not work with Sense 6. Probably missing some other resources, so it needs porting.
But just in case, there is the .apk - it can not be installed, bust be placed manually to /system/priv-app

Thanks for the apk. It sucks that it doesn't work, I wouldn't know how to port it so I'm off to play store to find an alternative
Did you find a good alternative? From what I can see, it looks like most of the play store options have some kind of fatal flaw

No I didn't find anything worthwhile. It's a shame I really like that LWP.

What features did the HTC one have that put it in such high favor? I've been looking for a good slideshow WP app for a while. These are the best I've found:
Landscape Wallpaper - Good settings. Separate WP for lockscreen. Offers wallpaper scrolling, if desired (good when launcher doesn't support.) Can't choose to update on wake (only time limit), however seems to update on wake after timespan has elapsed.
Wallpaper Changer - Best options for gallery selection. Let's you choose and save custom albums, mixed of folders and individual pics. Can't modify albums. Seems quirky.
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper - Simple, works great. Can set to update with screen awake or even double tap. Supports web albums.

What I liked was the slow pan across each wallpaper before it faded to the next one.
I had a set of wallpapers with the same colours but different designs and it would switch to one, pan across, then fade to the next and pan across... I think the choice of panning left or right was random. It was just a nice behaviour that wasn't distracting but added a little interest, and the fade meant there was no jarring switch from one wallpaper to the next. Also it seemed to have no effect on battery usage,
