(THEME) Stock Music app not so boring anymore...

Ok so I have been tinkering around for the past few trying to get the Fender Music app on my dream. Well I did it but the app sucks cause it's not FOR my device. And being that I don't know how to make it work right, I decided to go back with the stock app.
Enough rambling, you want the goods...
Backup before doing this cause I take no responsibility.
remove the .zip from the name.
Wouldn't hurt to resign it either...
Put the file in your theme's .zip. In the app folder within the .zip of course.
I don't know how to take screen shots but I will tell you to try it and you will like it. This works on my dream flawlessly. I hope the same for you...
This wasn't really that hard to do. Mostly because I don't know how to modify/make .9's nor these .xml's for that matter. But most of the visuals are what I have modified anyway so I don't see the need...
The one thing I have a problem with is the lack of album art. As soon as I figure that out, things will be nice!
This will be on my theme as soon as I get it out. I have grown to understand how long this takes for you themeer's out there. I thank you all for everything you do. But I would like to thank Binary for helping me understand the basics of things around here!!!
Which brings to my attention, this is based on CM 4.2.13......

screenshot.apk from market...

Thanks much. I was waiting for that actually though.
But that's what I will use when I have everything finished.
Knowing this environment though, I'll never finish...

You can take screenshots even easier with ddms.bat
In revision 4 just go to Device and Screen Capture (or whatever).
Simple.

Ok. Thank you. But I'm still going to wait until I finish my theme before I take screen shots. Until then, you'll just have to dl it to find out what it looks like...

Nice to see you getting so into this. If you want help with .9.pngs, Jairomeo taught me a nice trick that makes it very easy (assuming eclipse is set up).

Eclipse is set up I just don't know how to use it other than to start up a virtual android...

Gonna try it out now. I want to know what it looks like
/edit: here is the signed .apk (Or was it already signed?)
(push to system/app)

ok noob question lol... i downloaded the file but when i try to copy it to system/app folder it says file is read only.. something i missed?

You need to root your device...

done that.. phones rooted with Dwang 1.7.1 rom. sd parted etc etc... im just confused, do i have to delete the current music apk and replace with the new one?

yea. what he said.

This is outdated. I haven't had the time to work on it lately and I apologize for that. My theme hasn't seen any love for a few days either.
But it works and looks better than stock.
Here's how I install it.
Put music.apk in root sdcard folder. Use a file manager like Astro or And Explorer to navigate to it. Click it and install with package installer.
Enjoy!

Does this update.zip exist?

I posted my predicament in the General forum about my PC frying my Captivate.
Well to sum it up, my pc has been frying usb devices left and right. Mainly it is killing the usb chipset controllers on the devices. This now means my phone can no longer mount to my pc in any way. If I plug it in, I get an immediate "usb device not recognized."
I want to take this to AT&T and see if they can do anything, but of course my phone is rooted and has the bloatware removed.
Since I can't get my phone connected to my pc in any way, I obviously can't use Odin to reflash my phone to stock and I can't use One-Click to unroot either.
Is there any update.zip file out there that will reinstall the att bloatware and get rid of root/superuser? I don't have any hacked firmware or custom roms on my phone as all I did was root and get rid of the att apps.
I simply need a way to put the att apps back on my phone and get rid of root/superuser WITHOUT the use of a pc.
Thanks a bunch guys!

Off the top of my head, I see two possibilities.
1) Do it by hand. Find copies of the original apps and install them, then look at what the root update.zip script does and undo it.
2) get someone to make a stock nandroid backup and restore it to your phone.

DG's zip has busybox and superuser included, you need to remove those files first on your pc. If your pc has a card reader you can use it to transfer the file back to your sd card after it's edited.

Use android terminal emulator the same way you would adb to copy the .apk files to /system/app.
Or... you can use es file explorer with system mounted and copy them that way. Then reboot. As for unroot.... Idk what to tell you, I don't have that phone..
Also, I would recommend testing it on another pc. Yours is likely stupid, not frying the usb ports. If this were so, it shouldn't charge either.

The usb ports are 100% frying the chipsets on usb devices. I have a network adapter, a flash drive, external hard drive, and a brand new flash drive that all have a burnt chip after being in the usb for longer than 10 seconds. Most will still power on when plugged into another pc but they just cant interface with the pc's with the chipsets being fried, it has no way to properly communicate.
I've tested my phone and all the fried flash drives on 4 pcs at this point.

since you are still rooted, to reinstall the at&t apps look into wireless adb. it will allow you to push apps over a wifi network.

Like I said the zip file has SU in it, remove it first before you use it if I assume you plan on returning your captivate. If you want I can edit that file for you and PM you the link where to download the file on your phone.

How to restore deleted (stock) System Apps?

Let me apologize first of all as I come from 5 years of using Windows Mobile knwoing what I am doing (cooking ROMs included) and now just got my Galaxy /Android a couple weeks ago and am blank at all of it.
After messing up with some system files and (useless) stock applications (like I removed stk.apk and other stuff) I decided to do a full hardware reset as the phone started getting random crashes.
But after the full reset things only got dramatically worse. I quickly realized all the missing system apps are still missing (I thought they'd be "restored") and basically nothing works, just crashes one after the next, cant use anything.
So, a hardware system reset on the galaxy, doesnt really reset anything except user installed apps and settings... amazing
Can someone please tell me (the idiot here, I know) how to do a real full restore where all system files, all missing files and positively everything gets back in the Tab as it was originally?
What a flippin' nightmare... Thanks in advance very much!

deletion of Stk.apk causes FC's in phone and acore.
if you don't have a backup of this apk, download a rom (like Modaco or Overcome),
open with winzip and extract the Stk.zpk from system/app and push it to /system/app on your Tab using adb (remember set the permissions to 644 after push).
A hardreset NO restores deletions on /system
Note: Other files that are not deleteable in /system/app are: Browser.apk, Email.apk, TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and TwWallpaperChooser.apk
Note (2): For your convenience, i attach the Stk.apk file from Overcome-1.1.3. Try it
Note (3): In order to restore ALL system data and apps, you need to restore a full rom.

OK, first of all a big thanks for both file and info. Aside from the Stk.apk, the biggest thing that made me run into problems was trying to update my Contacts.apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907399
things didnt work out for me and even after restoring the original files (Contacts.apk and Contacts.odex) nothing really worked again, reason for wich I tried a system reset.
Now, do I need to re-root the Tab or its still rooted, and can I perform the operations easily with Root Explorer like I did before? You mentioned to use adb and set permissions to 644 after push but, sorry again for the ignorance, I have no clue what adb is nor what/how to set permissions. Pathetic to be ignorant huh?
My last 2 questions are, where could I find the original Contacts.apk and Contacts.odex and if needed a full ROM to do a total restore?... hopefully I wont need to get to that point?...
Thanks a million again.

hi,
try to download overcome-1.1.3, and extract all the deleted apk's from system/app directory. push into the /system/app in your tab.
the apk's of overcome are deodexed (you don't need the .odex files). after that, wipe your data/cache and reboot.
if this don't works, try with roto rom

Hmmmm thanks again but I think Im beyond all this. I dont have a file manager on my system, just realized I deleted the useless stock one and had repalced it with Root Explorer and ES File Explorer. I have them on my External SD Card to install them again but withou a file manager or an app installer cant get to them. And I tried download an app installer from the Market and get Framework errors non-stop and downloads do not initialize... I think Im beyond a quick fix... how do I get my hands on a stock full ROM to restore everything... and how? What a nightmare... gotta tell you, I love Windows Mobile... I love it... never ran into anything like this in the past 5 years of using it... never...
Thanks again!

use "adb" in order to access to your tab from your desktop pc.

Cant. Dont even know if I need Kies installed or not (I did have it installed) but adb just asks me to connect the phone and thats it... its connected aready... this is desperating...

OK I did manage to connect with adb but, how to I install applications? I can navigate to my SD card where I have ES File Explorer and Root Explorer but dont seem to be able to install them... Also if i try to copy Stk.apk I get immediately an failute message... this is crazy...

OK so I managed to install ES File Explorer and Root Explorer with adb... crazy process. It seems my phone is still rooted after the reset. From the phone I copied Stk.apk back to /system/apps where it was before deleted.
But needless to say nothing got fixed... not sure if Stk.apk is now "actually" installed or just there in the folder. But still nothing works and crashes every 10 seconds... logs provider, dialer, phone, framework, contacts... its all a firework of crashes...

Given that you've hard reset your device already, you are pretty much wasting your time trying to "fix" what you broke by messing with /system, and you should really just flash another ROM.
My suggestion would be to follow the advice on this thread.

Dave

Yeap, that what i did and it was succesfull. My only issue is that Id like to convert my Tab's file system to ext4 to improve speed and performance and then update to the 1.4Ghz OC Kernel. I have no idea how to do those 2 things... actually Im not sure I understand the difference between a ROM and a Kernel... I assume a Kernel is part of the engine of the ROM itself but I have no idea how to perform the update. I read countless threads and its all scattered info without finding one straight to the point guide on how to do it...
Thanks again

Part of your problem is that you are trying to run before you can walk! Your experience with WinMo is of pretty much no use to you in the Linux/Android world, and until you get a better handle of how everything hands together you are always going to feel a little lost.
Personally, since your device is now up and running again, I'd suggest that you hold off doing anything else for while, until you get a chance to catch up with some of the basics. Once you are a little more familiar, you can then start with something simple like flashing the MoDaCo kernel (instructions here) to support EXT4, and to give you access to ClockworkMod recovery.
IMO, whilst EXT4 and O/C kernels will give you a performance boost, they are not as noticeable as jumping from a shipping ROM to one of the JMx development builds that Samsung has put out. If you are running JMI, you should already be feeling that the device has got much snappier.

Yes Dave you are right, right and right again!!! Thank you for the wisdom and advice!!!
The main thing I have understood with today's messy experience was that the actual ROM files are never deleted or damaged as long as you dont access them via a rooted tool and start deleting them. Now I understand that Titanium Backup, Sprint Backup (my favorite), My Backup Pro and others, only back-up and restore what the user installs on top of the ROM itself. So a full "reset" wipes all that data but leaves the ROM files as they always were. If they got damaged in the process, they'll still be damaged till a a full ROM restores all system data, now I get it.
What I still dont get is the issue of bakcing up and restoring. In Windows Mobile, a toll like SPB Backup has a simple option called FULL BACKUP and that backs-up everything on top of the ROM and then restores everything after a full reset on top of the ROM again like it was before. The problem I have with apps like Titanium Backup, Sprint Backup, My Backup Pro, etc... is that there is not a "BACKUP ALL" option... one has to backup "data", "settings", "apps" and I always feel stuff will be left behind and then not restored.
Till I find an app or way to do a simple one-click "backup everything" and then "restore evertything" I always feel vulnerable to changes I make to the Tab that may get it unstable or corrupt and then not being able to be restored properly without a full ROM Flash and then re-installing all from scratch.
With WinMo, I could do all sorts of crazy experiments and tweaking and after that, a registry restore or back-up restore would bring me back my phone to exactly like it was with all my stuff and configuration in a matter of seconds or minutes. Thats what I need to find out with this Tab/Android and then Im ready to be able to explore messing up with this knowing I can always easily go back within minutes to the state I had before with all my apps and settings.
This is what I need to learn next how to do! Trampoline without a safety net is not a good idea. Ive alwways loved WinMo for the ease of backing up and restoring whatever I was doing on my handsets withjout ever worrying to put myself at risk to loose it all. I need to learn this on Android and its definitely more intricate!

just put sdcard into your samsung tab and flash modaco kernel amd it will automatically covert to ext4, after that you can flash the 1.4ghz kernel you wanted.

What you want is a Nandroid backup, which you can only make from a recovery image like Clockworkmod recovery.
Essentially, this does exactly what you want, but you need to flash a new kernel (e.g. the MoDaCo kernel) which supports Clockwordmod.

When I delete stk.apk (for me useless useless useless) the first thing that happens immediately is that when I hang-up on a call made or received, the Tab vibrates then freezes for about 5 seconds then tells me the phone application has crashed. I tried this with 2 ROMs now as a test and its guaranteed. More even, if you use a program like SYSTEM APP REMOVER you can emulate the removal of an app by disabling it... it only takes me to disable STK and a reboot for the phone not to work. cant get rid of it, that simple

Speeding "boot up"

My boot up and shut down are extremal slow. I know this handles like a computer and these things can effect its performance. I would like to know what can be done to speed up these boots. I am also not to aware of what should and should not be removed from the sdcard. I've attached a snip of my sdcard, how do I know what is junk and what is not?
Thanks, Tomween1

First, as you probably already know, every phone is built differently and so things like that can vary.
My guess is that there's probably too much unwanted file on your phone, which have probably just been stacking from flash to flash. There's a app for that but I can't remember the name (sorry ) - perhaps you can look it up.
Other thing, if you have been flashing over and over:
1. Attend some flashocolic meeting
2. a full clear would probably clear up alot of stuff.
If you go for a masterclear (Odin) and re-install your ROM, don't forget to backup your file with Titanium Backup + pictures and put your contacts on your sim card (copy the file from your phone to your comp). -Just a little reminder.

Try deleting any apps that you don't use, and also try an app called "SD Maid". I got it from the apps section, but it may be in the market now. It searches for leftovers of stuff you've deleted. Cause sometimes things leave traces of themselves behind after a delete. Should free up some room.
Also, theres an app called "Autostarts" which lets you select what apps actually start on the boot up, which should also speed it up if you disable some.

Also, theres an app called "Autostarts" which lets you select what apps actually start on the boot up, which should also speed it up if you disable some.

YES - SD Maid. That's the app I was talking about ^^

U could try disabling the media scanner service if u have lots of media loaded, and run it manually when u need it.

No not much in the way of media. My only concern is all the files shown in the attached file in the OP

[Q] Where does a keyboard apk go?

This is my noobe question of the day. I have the Gingerbread keyboard .apk and want to put it in the proper directory (folder) on my phone. Where does it go so it is recognized in Settings, Locale and text? Also, where can I put it in the CWM .zip file of a ROM so when I flash again it is already there?
I am currently running Continuum 5.3, which is a Gingerbread ROM.

For the keyboard it goes in sys/app .and for the rom as long as you dont master clear or reformat your intenal card just leave it there I dont believe you can access your external sd card from cwm.

Thank you!! I feel really stupid. I know that is where apps go that one wants added to the App Drawer. I didn't realize that is where things like the keyboard go. Should have tried that first. Anyways, thanks again!!!

It's /system/app don't shorten file trees like that it can be confusing. There is a folder called /sys and it doesn't have any apps.
You can put the keyboard in that folder before you flash it, cooking it into the rom. Also if there are any non system apps you want at first boot you can throw those in /data/app...

Thanks Studacris. I actually did know where he meant when I got the response, however, if I was completely new at this, I would have put in the wrong directory.
BTW, love the new sig. Very cool!!

Cool. I realized that when I went to the Mosaic thread. Congrats!! From reading the Team Phoenix ROM posts like Mosaic and Phoenix Ultimate, it seems you have been very helpful to so many people and have helped me learn more along the way. Looking forward to checking out the updated Mosaic...hopefully tomorrow??

Yup ... And every monday.

Think my mouse clicking refresh on my browser will probably need to be replaced then after every Monday. That's what seemed like was going to happen after Mosaic had it's name and was waiting on the release. Tomorrow should now be a great day.

F5 should save your mouse button some wear lol
You might wanna keep an eye out thursday for something interesting... Shh

I just use the gingerbread keyboard from the market. Then restore with TB each flash.

On a Mac so no F5 for my browser. I use Mac and Ubuntu instead of Windows, except for flashing as I'm an IT guy and prefer to use these especially to capture malware on a network. Actually prefer the mouse anyways.
Looking forward to Thursday. I'll keep this under wraps.
