[REQ] Stock Music Lockscreen Widget

There is not much that i miss about the stock apps on the Fascinate. However, I must say that I do miss the awesome music widget that you can pull down the CD (with album art on it) from the top of the screen. Do you think it's possible to port this over to use?
I have tried taking the apk and odex files from the stock rom and placing them into /system/app but it does not work. I'm not sure if voodoo's new ext4 file format is causing permission issues or what, but either way i haven't been able to get it working. Anyone have any ideas on this? If not, anyone up for porting over the app

Are you on JT's rom? if so don't use an apk with an odex, his system is deodex'ed.
Try the following apk, it should work.

I get "application not installed" when I try to install it. Could it be because there is already a Music app called "Music" on Jt's rom?

That is a system file. You can't just install it. You need to replace the original file with that one with adb or root explorer (or something similar).

adb pull /system/apps/musicplayer.apk
backup that version, copy new version into its place.
adb push musicplayer.apk /system/apps/
?? is that how you would do it? or is that even where it is?

I think it's /system/app
regardless, i have tried this and every time i do it my phone goes to black screen after the VZW screen. It will just sit there. Then when I go back and put the original .apk back in place...it boots right up and works. I have a friend trying to go back to the touchwiz calendar who has the exact same problem. Neither of us can figure it out.

Here flash this through CW and see if it still gives you a black screen.

that worked can you make one for the touchwiz calendar apk too? I'd love to know what you did to make it and what the difference is so i can do it myself.
The one part that stinks is that the widget on the lockscreen is a feature of TouchWiz lockscreen, as it's not work on stock. Once I flashed the puzzle lock it worked.

[Q] Write and Go (Samsung default app) for download

Hi, I´m using Darky´s Gingerbread ROM and there isn´t any "Write and Go" application.
I want this application back because it´s really easy to post something to the facebook wall. Could you please someone copy this application from the system and put it here for download for me?
EDIT: Please I need it :/ the installer apk from /system/app would be just fine

I have got it from XWJS5 in Romkitchen.

Thanks, but it seems it isn´t working for me. I get "Application not installed." error message :/

I think you have to copy it directly in /system/app/ with rootexplorer (after mounting system R/W)

thanks in advance!

Hey I have the same problem, using darky rom and i couldnt find this app anymore. Any solution yet? been searching for quite some time

I know this is an old thread, but just thought that you guys on darky ROM should know that all of these apps are available and installed on your phone on your SD card. They will be in a folder for darkyROM and they will be saved in system/apps within that folder. You use and always should use the darkyROM tool available from the market and it will add or remove any system app you want and it backs them up (so if you remove something you shouldn't you can re-install again) and also it does the same for user apps too. It has now been suceeded by the darkyOTA application though which provides Over The Air updates for ROM related stuff. All support and info is located on the darkyROM forums to check out

[DEV] Edited build.prop crashes network connection

Hello Guys,
I want to edit the ro.romname Part in the buil.prop file.
When I pull the File via adb to the computer and edit the Romname to what I want and save it and push it back to the Phone it has no network connection after reboot. And there are some other issues too.
I tried it with RootExplorer too, but the same problems.
What is my problem or what I´am doing wrong?
Has anyone sucsessfully edited the build.prop ?
Please help me!
Thanks

Can nobody help me ?

I've had the same problem as well, I think there's some code that checks the build name and then disables the radio if it has been changed.

Yes I think so, but I couldn´t find something that checks the name. I hope someone can help us.
It´s good to hear that I´am not the only one who has this broblem

I tested what else happens when I change this code:
- Android Market is deleted
- All apps which need a internet connection crash at start
- google accounts are deleted from phone
- network connection is disabled
But my quiestion is now whick .apk or File could cause this problems ?

can someone upload the build.prop for me? would like one from android 2.3.4 thanks

the permissions has to be set!
only change name of rom. "ro.modversion="

is your ROM CM7 based? If so, as already mentioned, there is functionality that shuts off the radio once the ROM Version was changed to prevent KANGing the releases without crediting them

Do i need to be rooted?
Will we loose it if we get a fw update?

You need to be rooted, at least to be able to use AntTek and Root Uninstaller, and no, you won't loose it in case of FW update, unless the upgrade is for the camera too... but the process is fast. 5 minutes and its done

Thanks Dude, but did download the ICS Camera, to take pictures without shutter sound.
Ruedas, a rooted phone doesnt receive OTA updates, right?

strange thing that i downloaded the apk, tried to install it but wouldnt work even after changing permissions. Had no camera forawhile. Downloaded the stock apk, just copy and pasted it in the folder and all of a sudden i have my camera back with no shutter sound...no idea why but thanks

I'm trying my best to fix (IOW; mute) the shutter sound on my GF's O4X. While I believe I understand how this is done, I'm not able to actually get it done.
I've managed to get the phone rooted (thanks to alexp999's simple to follow guide). If I've understood things correctly; I now need to replace the original camera.apk with the modified one found in this thread.
Problem is that, in the /system/app folder, both renaming files (the old camera.apk) and copying files (the new camera.apk) to the folder fails.
Anyone able to see what I'm missing / doing wrong? Any help would be thoroughly appreciated!..

I have my way...
With "Root Uninstaller Pro" I uninstall the original one, than I grab the modded file and past it in .../system/app and I install it from there.
Reboot and its done

Thanks for the reply and suggestion RuedasLocas!
Titanium Backup seems to have the option to uninstall system apps, I'll give that a go. Would however like to figure out how to copy files to the system/app folder before I do that (given that this is required to re-install/enable the camera). Have tried with both ES File Manager and Total Commander; both have been given SU-privelages, both are able to browse to the folder, neither is able to copy files to or rename files in the folder...

Use "AntTek" explorer, works together, or alone if you wish, with Root Uninstaller, you can copy/paste or just cut/paste...

Tried AnTek Explorer; What an interesting file manager! Will have to test this for a longer period of time, could possibly become my new goto file manager. Thanks for the tip!..
Though I couldn't get the new/modified camera.apk to the system/app directory. Though this time it failed with an error messge; "Error Don't have enough permission to do this action" (see attached screenshot). Have double-checked that "Native mode" is enabled within AnTek and that its (permanently) enabled in SuperSU. Not sure how I can give an app even more permissions...

Just reboot the phone and it should be enough.
Some apps need a reboot to work properly.

Thanks for all the help! Rebooting allowed me to rename files. Then I finally figured out why copying files to the system folder failed (or at least partly); For reasons unknown to me, I weren't allowed to copy/move files directly from the external_sd card to the system/app directory, Had to first move the to an internal location, then I could move then to the desired location!
End result; The annoying shutter sound is gone! :victory:
Again; Thanks for all the help!

System dump of the 4.1.2 update?

Hi everyone,
I accidentally removed phone.apk from /system/app, thinking I could replace the stock blur dialer application. Unfortunately, the blur dialer which is still being used in the jellybean update does not work well for blind people like myself who use talkback, and I can't find a way to remove it..
Regardless, I did do an adb pull /system/phone.apk prior to doing this but somehow the file cannot be found anywhere. I don't want to reflash as that would require sighted help, something I don't have at the moment.
I'm wondering if anyone has a dump of the d4 4.1.2 image, or can give me the original phone.apk file. Either works for now.
Thanks,
Tomi
