Ninja Morph Problems

I recently flashed a gingerbread theme, and I love the black status bar, except how the notify icons look on it, since they were made for a white bar. So I'm trying to use Ninja Morph to change the icons, which seems like a simple procedure, but it's being very frustrating. I had the TweetDeck icon changed and working correctly, and then a half hour later it started FCing on me. Don't even get me started on the Google Voice app, that seems to work at complete random with no rhyme or reason.
This is frustrating. What's the trick here?

You know I was having the same problem I updated some of my Icons and i followed the instructions and made sure all my images were the same size name right ones and png's and everything then as soon as it rebooted it only gave me FC for every app but two and that was the dialer and the browser and the dialer only worked for incoming calls, the only solution was to sbf. No fun I cant figure out what i did, so no im thinking maybe i have a corrupted file and i need to go in and one by one change them out to figure out what was the cause if any. (oh did i mention this happened three time, what a pain in the a--) Well My advice would be to look at the specifics of what you are doing then maybe start over or try something different, but other than that IDK.

I could test for you. What apps and what icons? Maybe you could post them and I will do it and see what you're doing wrong (if anything). You know market apps have to be signed. Stericson has an app for that too called Signapktic. Works on the phone but in order to use it you have to tell Ninjamorph "NO" after it creates the package then you have an APK of your project in the AndroidThemes/workspace directory. Once signed you can zipalign in terminal and install. Let me know if you need a walkthrough for this method and I will write one up for you.

I'm having problems with ninjamorph too with it just hanging and never finishing. I have some sweet ideas too

I could use a write up of how to do it via terminal if you could do this it would be greatly appreciated. Trying to switch a green for blue android in the Advanced task killer app and am having trouble

If you morph any thing different than a system app you have to re sign the app. Use Signaptic its free on the market. Also when you use signaptic choose the platform iption.

[Q] Multitouch and Flash?

I was just browsing some files using Root Explorer to see what we might be able to do to get Multitouch working on the ZIO. In /system/etc/permissions directory I found a file called handheld_core_hardware.xml that when I open it up has information about permissions of the device hardware and then says this.
<!-- devices with multitouch must also include
android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml -->
<!-- devices with full multitouch must also include
android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml -->
Click to expand...

I've also found the applications currently installed on the phone in the /system/app directory that has every app on the phone, Maybe we can inject some files from another phone that have Multitouch and Flash working?
I know I'm not the only one that is currently scanning this phone for things that we can "exploit" to make it better. If anyone else can think of what we can do to get Multitouch and Flash to work go ahead and give us your input and we'll get this going.

don think flash will work nativaly becase it requires a arm7 proc and I think the Zio is an ARm6 based proc..... you can get flash running through skyfire browser from what I understand though...
as far as multitouch??? dunno you may be onto something!

I am determined to make this phone work better than CricKet is willing to make it work. I know it's not a high end device but cmon my old pentium 3 gateway that had a 600mhz processor could run flash. There has to be a way that we can spoof the processor to install flash if it only allows the arm7 or higher.
I dont know if you have Root Explorer but I would reccomend it for browsing the files on the phone. I would say it is worth the 4.03 USD or 2.50 EUR. That and Uninstaller for Root to remove the bloatware.

Multitouch could be a hardware issue as well. I know the zio has a substandard capacitive touchscreen -- maybe it doesnt support multitouch.
BUT, I could be completely wrong as I am making a hypothetical assumption.

I downloaded flash here: http://www.4shared.com/file/k6SycB0R/Adobe_Flash_Player_101_1016168.htm
I then dropped it into my SD card and installed it just fine on the new cricket 2.2.1 update. It seems to be working just fine, though it does sometimes kick me out of browser pages, so I just switch to Opera Mobile 10.1 and it works on that one much better.

Sweet, trying to get this working now.

Got it to install just fine on mine too, but it causes my stock browser to FC all the time, even when just trying to type in a web address. I will have to try this with another browser.

Kyocera originally stated when the phone launched that it supported multi touch. This phone is going to have to suppport multi touch in some way or another. Maybe we could contact Kyocera to find out exactly what hardware is in this phone?

Tried with dolphin mini -- nogo (FC)

hmm thats odd. I'll have to try this once I get my phone working again. I was messing with some cpu files then restarted my phone. well now I'm in a loop after the Kyocera logo. The cricket logo comes up and restarts from the cricket logo again. I'm currently working on getting it working again with adb and fastboot. I may end up using fastboot to flash the boot image and then run the update, it will then take me into the recovery just like it did the other day.

Check the market under productivity you should find the free equivalent.
I was able to install flash but... FC on all browsers except opera mini. I had to uninstall just to use the free xda apparently because it kept restarting. Flash isn't too huge of a deal for me, I think it might be why flash isn't included in the update

Anyone have any problems with Appbrain.
I noticed with appbrain it doesn't reconize that I have the 2.2 installed on my phone. Anyone else having the same problem? I also posted a few questions on here about a few things I noticed my phone doing but never got a response back. Guess they weren't important questions or something.
Also was wondering about SELECT DEVICE ADMINISTRATORS in the settings/location & security. What is it and why is it empty if i'm the admin of my own phone???

Something else I feel really sucks that they did with this phone.
Why the hell did Kyocera have this phone where when you set a wallpaper you always have to crop the dam thing and cut half your pic off just to set it??
I think its bull**** concidering the resolution of the phone there would be no need to limit the size of the wallpaper you set. I feel it sucks ass totally cause no matter what size I make my wallpapers I always have to cut half the pic off to set it as a wallpaper on the phone.
That little resize box sucks!! Now it may be an app I have installed on the phone but i'm having the same BS problem when typing txt messages with the keyboard missing letters and the latter just the same as if i still had the 1.6 crap on it.
I'm starting to hate this stinking phone to a point i'm about to take my hammer to it.

I had the same problem. Anything I opened once I installed the flash just FC on me till i uninstalled it. I just installed Opera brower and i'm re-installing the Flash now, i'll reply back with what I get after its all done.
Well I installed Opera browser, Re-installed Flash player and Rebooted my phone. Once running I when to adobe.com to test the flash and in the content window it states: To view this experience, you need JavaScript enabled and the latest adobe flash player installed

I have opera and it works with flash installed. I haven't really seen flash working since installation. Tried using opera to go to YouTube but it opened the app rather than embedding in the browser.

I give up. about to for the 5th time now completely reset my phone, format my SD card, and redue the entire phone from scratch.
With flashed installed I can't even goto appbrain app market without the never ending FC happening just as Appbrain begins to load. This sucks! I really don't want to spend half the day again reinstalling all my crap back to this phone. Its been a headache sence day 1 I had it till now. Seemed to run just fine leaving the thing alone aside trying to figure out what bloatware crap other then the 2 lousy games that comes with the phone.

By the way. The bloatware is mobile web, mybackup, uno, my account, storefront, midnight bowling, ziotop10apps, and you can remove home screen tips

I really don't remember Kyocera saying it was multitouch. I do remember some reviews of the phone saying that it was, but those are not associated with Kyocera, those are just some guys online giving their two cents on their blogs and websites.
On the actual Kyocera Zio website,for the Spring version with Froyo on it it states:
Display Specs: 3.5" 262K-color TFT LCD WVGA (480x800 pixels), capacitive touch screen navigation
Input: SWYPE - Fast and easy text input
Navigation: Track Ball navigation

It does not mention multitouch

[Q] [MIUI] [SLIDESCREEN] One app icon will not change

Icon will not change
Okay, this is a new problem I've never experienced before.
Have my icons all packed, zipped up,.mtz etc. Apply through theme manager. However, I have one application (Launcher SlidescreenPro) that will not change.
I've double checked the app name, double checked and triple checked the naming...
Now...here's the weird part. In EVERY app list and application that lists your installed apps, the new icon is there, just like it's supposed to be. App manager, titanium backup, all show the new icon for the app....but NOT on the home screen. (and yes, I rebooted )
I'm wondering if there is another "hidden" name for the app's home screen shortcut, since it was also meant to be a home launcher replacement. Can't find anything specific to that app, and it is no longer supported, so the developers are unavailable.
I'm puzzled..What am I missing? I'm sure there is an easy answer...
Thanks

That one i have too. It's weird and im looking for an answer, too

Using Root Explorer navigate to /data/system/customized_icons_1 and check what is the file name for the icon that is shown for your slidescreen. It is actual package name of the used app. Hope that it helps.

I've had to reboot up to 3 times to get some newly themed icons to change. Just my two cents!

Try making a folder (zip) for slidescreen, with the "icon.png" or "ic_launcher_whatever.png" inside of it, in the theme. Also it may have an activity name attached to the end of the package name, for instance Clock is com.android.deskclock as well as com.android.deskclock.DeskClock

since the new icon appears everywhere (an i mean everywhere, like titanuium, root explorer, app management) except for the launcher i think the process name should be good
i have this problem with "handsfree" ("com.grichenko.android.handsfree") and "word search" ("com.virtuesoft.wordsearch")
i started them and looked in the app manager to find out if they have a different process running, but nope, the main process is running, but it just won't change on home screen

Thanks...I do know that the actual package name is the same for the icon, that's what I was saying. PLUS...it has changed throughout the system, just not on the home screens. Even when I look up running processes...the package name is the same, and the app's icon in the running processes list is correct.
However, I didn't know about that folder, so that will come in handy in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion...and that still might be the case, but nothing comes up when zipping up the app, or any folder within it. Just the same package name I already have for it. <sigh> Since it was meant to be a launcher replacement as well, I might blindly try a few activity names...see what happens. although I don't think so....as there doesn't seem to be a different process running.
As far as rebooting...I've never had trouble with theme manager...change out my screen once a day (at least) and it always works for me. This has me completely baffled. (PS...did reboot a couple of times for something else...no such luck)

i managed to find the processes for my missing apps, i had to decompile files and look into androidmanifest.xml
you will find the first android process is usually the launcher process. look for lines starting with "activity". if you read these lines you'll find a portion "android:name" and that's where the process name is. if the first one is not good, you might find others inside, too

Tethering on Tmobile

How are you guys doing it?

Root the phone. Download sqlite. Look for a file called settings storage. The correct one has a symbol looks like tools. Select the sub file. Go down and edit the line that says entitlement check. Change the value from 1 to disabled. Save and reboot. Enjoy making a wifi hotspot.

Can't find LbsTestMode

Hey all, I am running Captivating RC1 and am trying to fix my gps settings because like most people the gps sucks lol. I have tried the codes *#*#1472365#*#* and *#*#3214789650#*#* that dont do anything, I have also tried LauncherPro that no longer has a short cut to LBSTestSettings, and Any Cut is no longer on the play store. How do you access the gps settings these days? All topics on LBS seem to be outdated.
Thanks!

Try searching for Angrygps.apk
That replaced lbstest after Froyo.

Well i have angrygps now. I installed it and put it in system/app folder... But cant i tweak it? I cant find it as an app and when i try to access the apk it just wants to install. Is there a way to get into it and make sure its working?

I thought I had got this to run at somepoint in JB, but when I try codes with my current rom, CM10.1.0 RC2, the dialer isn't launching Angrygps.
Sorry if the same is true for you.
I have found that using the hellstorm fix with some mods works well for me. I get reliable quick locks consistently - as good as can be expected with the weak location of gps antenna on captivate.
Here is link to my gps.conf file. If you make a backup of your current /system/etc/gps.conf file, then paste this version to replace it, make sure permissions are 644, then reboot, this should give you good gps.
if you are in usa, it should work as is. If elsewhere, you will need to check pool.ntp.org for best ntp servers for you, then edit the list of ntp servers in gps.conf.
I use xplore to do the copy, then chmod. I have also edited the system/addon script so that my gps.conf survives CM nightly flashes.

Did you set permissions correctly when you placed it into /system/app? I haven't used it in forever but I do know that setting permissions was required when I was using it. Also if it's working correctly you'll get an app icon for it in the app drawer.
Edit: Although I'm on Slim I just installed and confirmed it does in fact still work on the latest Jellybean. You do have to fix permissions for it to work and if you don't have a file manager to manually change permissions just reboot into recovery and run the fix permissions option and reboot.

So I am guessing the only real reason I want AngryGps is to alter the SUPL settings, other than it being a "text editor" it doesnt really do much else behind the scenes. That being said that gps.conf file should suffice without the installation of AngryGPS. I have done so and have yet to truly test it out. I do never get reception indoors but I feel thats everyone's case. My car roof however also seems to block my signal, and make me drop lock, is this common as well? I have to hold my phone near a window; an inconvenient position while trying to drive... nor the safest or most comfortable "fix" in my opinion...
Oh and for the permissions on the gps.conf I just set them all to read write and execute, i dont know what 664 means but im assuming that should cover it

Should be 644.
Linux/unix file permissions are the sum of
4 read
2 write
1 execute (for directories & executable files)
In 644, the first number is owner r+w, the second is group members read only, the third is everyone read only. If it were a directory, then it would be 755, to have the same effective permissions.
And thanks to m1batt1, I created an activity shortcut and I can launch angrygps, no code required!
About the car gps, I use a vent mount, which has worked well both in a VW passat and in Honda Accord. It keeps it near the window with a view of sky, and has the added benefit of cooling the phone when AC is on.

How did you get that shortcut to work? My permissions are 644 and it isn't appearing in my drawer. I did notice tho that there is a version of AngryGPS that's named AngryGPSMod and some guy modded it so u can open it. Is this what you guys are using? Do u know how to set up this modded version? Do I put the original AngryGPS in the system app folder? Or the modded one?

I removed the old AngryGPS from the system->app folder but it does not appear in my settings->apps on any page. Which led me to think it was already uninstalled. But when I went to install the new AngryGPS it says there already is one and that it will update the old one
I tried to go ahead and proceed with the installation but it just returns installation failed. Where else can I look to get rid of the old AngryGPS?

You'll have to manually delete the apk from /system/app/ using a file explorer and then copy and paste the one I added into the same folder.
Again remember to change your permissions when you add it back in. unfortunately you have to do all this manually because this app only functions as a system app and the usual installation process will fail as you've already witnessed
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app

Use a file manager to browse to system/app folder and also to /data folder.
Delete any instances of AngryGPS.apk.
Reboot.
On creating the shortcut, I use holo launcher instead of trebuchet, but the process should be similar. After installing angrygps, go to launcher desktop, and select add. . ., then activity, then scroll down and pick the second activity under Angrygps. It shpuld be an activity named .angrygps alone, without further mod. This will plscr a shortcut on your desktop. If gps is enabled and you click it, then it will launch AngryGPS, else it will take you to settings menu before it launches.
