[Q] adding non-market apps in settings menu- captivate

so i want to know if there are any fixes on adding unknown sources (non- market apps) to the settings menu

Well first off can you read forum topics [How To] Enable Non-Market apps on Captivate (consolidated) It right there in a sticky how to do that

but what I'm talking about is having an option in settings>applications with a ticker box

Won't happen ATT blocks it so they will never allow it in the settings menu. Sorry miss read the post

cant someone make an mod for that to inject the feature into settings

Load sre on an it will enable non market apps from the get go no need to worry about that setting menu. I could care less. I used the setting.db mod to make it work for me as I knew from the get go that that setting would never work

from what im reading this guy is wanting the option to check and uncheck at will. Not just hacked to beable to do it. I had it on my droid x and i liked it technically I would have it checked all the time anyway but i do like having the control over it like that

The option is baked out of our settings.apk. What you need is a custom ROM with a different settings.apk. Once you do, the check box will be shown. Exhibit 1, Vibrant Hybrid R3 ROM.

THere is a settings.apk from the i9000 that has the checkmark. I tried to load it to my cel but it hangs at the samsung logo. Will keep trying!!

Yes it's possible to do with an i9000 rom or some other custom rom. But at the same time, it is still possible to add menus to settings.apk
I would also like to know how to go about adding custom menus to the settings app. Which smali/xml file needs edited to do this?

DKROM port - Froyo Sense!! It actually works pretty darn well!

Heres a rom port I was working on before my phone died
Androidinstall.tar: http://www.mediafire.com/?uqh5p8vp0gxww38
Its not completely finished but now I can't test so if anyone wants to play with it here you go
It does need to be oc'ed in the kernel to about 510 (I like it that way)
It is a 240x320 build
Clear dalvik cache is necessary on this build

what you finished, and what u didnt finished?

I have tweaked speed. Calling works but no 3g internet or internet at all.
A lot of apps are missing that people may want - I removed them because I was editing the rom for me personally at the time - I planned to restore but my phone died before I finished.
To add the apps back download the rom from the Wildfire forum and move the apps back into my modded version. LINK
There are a couple sense themes in the Wildfire forum. These are compatible with my rom. You will find them in the aero thread in Wildfire android development

Hi jholtom, I'd tested this build on my kaiser but get stuck when I start haret (SD install). I stuck at "request suspent state" (after "Android Installed" and fix permission) and continously repeat that step. Pls advise.

can u update nbh which u used? i have many of them but no works

okay well I usually used an Atools edited kernel and never had any trouble
2.6.32 is what you need to use.
If there is a true issue I'll do my best to figure it out.

the same problem - request_suspend_state: wakeup (0 -> 0) at...

App folder
replace the current app folder after unzipping this and then retar

Enabling Facebook Contact Sync In CM10/AOSP ROMs

Many users are frustrated by 4.0.3+ AOSP ROMs, as from Android ICS & JB AOSP ROMs there is no Facebook Contacts SYNC.
Well after much drooling and browsing I finally found a way to enable this.:victory:
As stated on website --> http://niranjanthilak.com/facebook-sync-for-android-ics-devices/
and on --> http://www.modaco.com/page/news/_/a...sync-in-ice-cream-sandwich-r140#commentsStart
So, go on at these websites and try youself.:good:
Here, I'm Attaching a modded "ContactsProvider.apk" file that i used, in my CM10 ROM (dated:20121014)
FYI :: First rename file "root//system/app/ContactsProvider.apk" to "ContactsProvider.bak", then delete or rename "root//data/data/com.android.provider.contacts/databases/contacts2.db". Now copy provided "ContactsProvider.apk" to "root//system/app" folder, change permission to 644 and restart the device wait some time for data to sync.
P.S. :; I'm not responsible for data loss, do this on your gut.
Thnkx
If one doesnt wanna share their info with third party apps like HaxSync or FBcontactsync.
There is a great app and info about how to make it by Recognized Developer Deadknight.
Here is the link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731298

No go for me. How did you modify your apk file? When I baksmali'd mine, I didn't see a res/variables folder at all like was suggested in the original guide on how to do this. Tried adding it, but ended up with the same thing I get from your file - FC's and no contacts

Thanks. I tried both the given file and the steps. No go.

Haha I never tried it but yeah ... You should stay here and wait for OP's reply though .

have you changed the permission to 644 thats -rw-r--r--
Sent from my GT-I9100G

Just to be sure .. before doing above step try switching off wifi and data network, and remember to change permission, thn restart
Sent from my GT-I9100G

so:
1) rename original
2) disable all data (airplane mode)
3) delete contacts2.db
4) paste new file in and set permissions.

Sadly, still no good. get FC's in all my apps that use contacts.

You can't just use the modified apk...instead, using the guide and make the necessary changes...the modded apk was not for every ROM...
Ok...to add some details:
For ContactsProvider APK, the file
in question is res/values/arrays.xml
To gain access to this, you must decompile with apktool, not baksmali...

The file provided was for CM10, was it not? I'm running CM10 - the only difference is I'm actually on a Galaxy S3. I've tried with the guide but have met with similar ends.
Only difference is - when I tried manually I did not set my file permissions to 644.

Working like charm mate ...
Thanks a lot ...
I have GT-I9100G
The contacts synchronized smoothly but their pics and birthday aren't synchronized...
ROM : CodeBox 1.6.0 Official
Kernel : Horsepower 3.1.0-Fuss
If you like my post then please hit the button thanks ...

Hmm...I'm not sure whether all cm system apps will work on any phone...May have certain dependencies...that's why i asked you too mod yourself...did you modify the database (2nd step) or just merely the first step? And by the way, all system apps must have their permissions set to 644 or rw-r--r--...

I thought this one required you to simply delete your contacts2.db instead of modifying it, no?

Nope...the first guide actually taught on how to modify...to me, modifying is better than deleting...

s3 system files have different dependencies and so for that u hav to do it yourself.

well if you .. change the lines in smali codes where columns are first initiated thn thr is no need to modify contacts2.db file
Sent from my GT-I9100G

Thanks guys. I'm going to try this. I've been trying to use the xdaAutoTool wrapper for apktool, and I'm not 100% sure I'm doing it right.
What do I need to do to make sure that it loads the correct framework-res.apk for resource dependencies? I did "install other" and pointed it to the file, but it says "No Framework installed".
If someone could point me to a guide for raw apktool that includes signing the apk (which I understand I must do) and loading a framework dependency, that would work too. Thanks in advance!

Help with OMNI rom

Hi,
I have flashed a custom rom for the very first time.
I have flashed OMNI rom 18/12 build.

The phone vibrates very strongly even when i press things like 'menu' , 'back button' or typing
Its very annoying, please help

I think your only solution for that is to turn it off... Or to find out what to change to make it lower. You do not have an option in settings for that.

I can't remember where it was, but I did remove it when I used Omni. Try settings>more options - search there.

Hi,
Thanks again. I found the option to completely turn it off yesterday. Sad, there was no feature to reduce its intensity.
After turning it off, I realized the samsung JB always had a subtle vibration feedback when touching all this. Initially found it a bit weird getting no vibration but now used to it.
Another thing, in samsung JB I could sync FB contacts as well. In this ROM neither does the option in 'contacts' nor in FB app allow to sync contacts to phone book. Not a major issue though.
But, in samsung JB I could sync my calendar with FB, so that I could see all b'days etc on my calendar. No option here. Even though FB is displayed under 'accounts' in setting. There is no option to sync.
But the great thing about it is its speed. There is no lag whatsoever, very smooth so far.
Have a couple of free days in hand, so thinking of trying out CM 10.2 as well

Maybe some app can help you with FB sync.

Hi,
You may be aware of the problem with the dash clock. It force closes. And it appears partially cut in the lock screen.
After going through the OMNI rom, I found that you had mentioned in post no. #225 to go to system/app and delete dashclock.apk from there.
Since there is no file manager in this ROM. I installed ES file manager and tried to delete dashclock.apk from system/app
But when I try to delete it says "dashclock.apk can not be deleted". I don't know why ?
Is it anything to do with rooting ? I found some discussion in the forum about rooting as well. But couldn't make much of it.

Root it, set usb debugging on, in ES file explorer set Root explorer ON. Or use some other root explorer if that do not work.

I read in the OMNI forum that installing OMNI Rom automatically roots the phone. So is that not true ? If that is the case I will google and find how to root the phone.
I tried to turn on 'root explorer' in the ES file manager. It says 'Sorry, test failed. This feature can not run on your device". Is it an indicator of the the fact that the phone is not rooted ?
Edit: Temporary workaround: I found the post wherein you had told a user how to expand the dash clock widget by sliding it down and holding it and removing it by taking it to the 'x'. I removed it from the lock screen and added the normal clock in its place.

@metalhead.mechie Well I don't know what that means. I dont know much about tech stuff
From what I have gathered from the discussion in the OMNI Rom Forum, that I download something called 'Super SU" from http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip .
Question:
1. Do i need to extract the contents of the zip ? Or just go to TWRP and just select install from SD card and select the zip folder like i did with OMNI and gapps ?
2. Will this root the phone or do I need to follow other procedure as well ?

Just install zip in TWRP. And check if usb debugging is on later in Developer options.

Help (request) samsungIME(keyboard)

hi i am here with a request for you i want to use the keyboard(samsungIME) from Virginity V11 ROM the Galaxy S4 keyboard(white this is important for me) on my stock rooted 4.1.2 ROM. So the request is anyone can get this keyboard from Virginity V11 ROM to can i use with my stock rooted 4.1.2 rom? I try to make it but the simply copy to system/app the file and overwrite the old one didn't work it :/

may be you did not change permission in the .apk..while you re in root explorer,push continiously on the .apk file until it shows permissions.then tick in the first vertical row all three boxes and in the second vertical row only tick the first box,all other boxes let them empty and reboot.shoul work this way.
if you already done this ignore my post:good:
