I've only been poking around in this amazing device for two days now, and thanks to these forums and the amazing mods submitted by the developers, I have been able to change all of the icons except one. Even though the Facebook icon is updated under the start menu, I cannot for the life of me get it to change in quicklinks. My reading of the forms has led me to the registry, and yes the startup icon points to the right path. I've noticed (and this may be the crux of the problem) that every time I reboot, sense creates a new start icon_htc_facebook png and qtc file(eventhough I've renamed the origonal file)in the Windows folder. My question is, is there any way to get the new Facebook icon to appear in quicklinks, or am I stuck with the default Facebook icon? Again thanks to the developers for all the cool stuff and advice which is been posted on this website. PS I'm looking forward to a fully working version of android for this device. Keep up the good work guys.

What software did you use to change your icon? Anyway, once you have changed you icon, use this clever software to clean up your icon cache. It will clears your old cache and replaces it with your new replaced icons. The software to use is SICC. Do a search in forum,you will find it.
I used JWMD, hCcomber, and CMSI. Clearing the cache by hand has produced no results. I look for the program you suggested. Thanks for the tip.
SICC didn't work. Clearing the cache doesn't seem to be the problem. For some reason, when the OS is rebooted, a new start icon_htc_Facebook png and qtc file is created in the Windows folder. This occurs even if the old files have been renamed. Previous programs I've used have been: JWMD,hComber, and CMSI. I think the solution to the problem is stopping the creation of the new PNG and QTC files in Windows. I just don't know how to stop them being created on restart.
Have you tried deleting the quicklink in question and recreating it?
PS while it may sound like I know what I'm doing, I assure you I really don't. Two days ago I didn't know what a PNG or QTC file was. This is a testament to the effectiveness of the posts offered on this forum.

Is it time to bring back the original flip clock that seemed to slow down the phone, but should now be ok. I thought it was quite cool, and demonstrated a nice animated widget.
Has anyone got the original HTC Flip(ping) clock, and know where it can be gotten from?
I second this
I'm in!
Or do i just wait untill 2.1?
Come on, please. Somebody must have a copy of the original Flip clock that come out on the hero. Please someone tell me how to get a copy.
I tried extracting the HTCClock apk from the original roms zip from t-mobile, but it didn't work.
Any other suggestions?

Just checked it out, so two points.
1. Why would I pay for something which is free on hero, where these widgets are to make other phones look like hero.
2. the flip clock is not animated on Beautiful widgets:
taken from:http://www.androidtapp.com/beautiful-widgets/
1 - "... Android home screen widgets resemble the impressive UI of the HTC Sense available on the HTC Hero phone."
2 - "The clock/weather widget is static and doesn’t have the card flip and weather scene animations like the HTC Sense UI but works well. Added more widgets to this set will make it even more sweet!"
So thanks for trying, appreciated. It's the animated original flip clock I am asking about.

It didn't work because perhaps, I extracted it wrongly or I had extracted the wrong set of files. I am not a dev on the hero, so I wouldn't knowhow to remove the current HTC clock and widget and how to install a new one into system memory. All I was asking for was someone who perhaps has got the original flip clock left on their phone (someone who hasn't updated their phone since they got it when it came out) to provide a the widget files.
There must be a way of it working (with the correct files, once they are found) because it did work before.
Look, if it is too much for you then I apologise, I was just asking for the widget.
P.S., when you say "us" in your quote above - do you speak for the whole community?
the process is basically right, there is no magic in copying apk's from a to b. it is just that the whole sense environment goes deep into android. afaik there is still no completely "sense-less" rom available yet that fully works. on top of that sense is from htc and therefore closed source.
did you do a search? you are not the first one to ask for this, several people have tried to get the flip clock back. if it was that trivial it had been done by now. and no, there is no "must" for it to work, with the given resources.
if you want to make sure you get the original widget get it from an official update file here in the stickies, or from an old update.zip which you can find in the stickies at modaco. not sure why someone else should do the job for you?
when i say "us" i mean everybody that feels adressed...
OK cool, I'll try to investigate it further.
Sorry I asked now, I just thought someone may already know the process of extracting the correct flip clock files so they could readily be adb pushed into the phine ti the right place. Other people in this thread also expressed an interest in attaining the files. So sorry that I asked in the Q&A area.
just ask everything again and again, that's totally cool. it were different if that information was already here, let alone several times. and sure, other people making the same mistake does make it better, absolutely. and i really shouldn't tell you that it is most probably not doable, since i havn't tried it myself including deodexing the file to give it a chance to work at all.

That's really cool, I did try (so no, not too lazy) and failed thinking that I might be doing something wrong. That's the only reason I asked the initial question, 'cos I was sure that someone who knew what they were doing or were more experienced might already have it or know how to get it.
I'm glad you've got it. Any chance of sharing once you've figured out how you did it?
well, my trying involved a little more than just copying it from another rom... edit: and by everybody else i mean those people around here that know how to do this, stuff like deodexing etc. not actually EVERYBODY.
for the moment i am having trouble using my phone at all, won't register to network for some reason. i think it is not a good idea to use airplane mode when rebooting and restoring backups frequently, so for now i am repairing...
you can try the attached apk, delete HtcClockWidget.* from /system/app, then push the attached apk and reboot (probably best to do it in recovery). when i tried this yesterday i got errors, today i flashed the whole rom again (no wipe) and it worked... no idea why actually.
Tried what you said, but the clock said it couldn't be installed when I removed the HtcClockWidget.* and replaced it with the one you gave (using adb push).
So I then tried reinstalling the rom, and now all I have is the non-animated flip clock again.
Can you clarify the steps you took to get the animated one installed under modaco 3.1? I just can't get the animated one to work? Thanks again for trying - there must be something that I'm doing wrong.
try this one, install through recovery as usual. there seems to be a difference in using update.zip and adb push, even when pushing in recovery. with this update.zip i can install and use it, but don't get any mobile network connection at all, neither voice nor data. i just arrived at home, i will look into this later again, but tbh i am not too optimistic.
to revert just flash the mcr rom over it, or make a nandroid backup before. make that backup anyway.

EXCELLENT! it worked!
0) Nandroid Backup.
1) I backed up with adb pull both HtcClockWidget.odex and HtcClockWidget.apk from /system/app to my pc.
2) Then I deleted them both from /system/app.
3) I put your update zip onto my SD root directory.
4) Then with amonra I updated with your zip.
5) Restarted, then chose the widget from the add menu on homescreen. Et voila I got the animated flip clock. AWESOME!

I have so very many questions I dont even know where to start. Just like it said in the video I am a noob so this might even be in the wrong section.
For the starters a few questions come to mind (and yes, I did use the search button, viewed tens maybe hundreds of forum pages) so please would someone be so kind and help me with following
1] In the browser, when I click bookmarks, I find local but under that two other empty folders with my gmail adress but both empty. How do I remove them?
2] How to properly setup mail for exchange. I have my gmail and hotmail accounts added. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont and how the widget updates is really beyond me.
3] One thing that really bothers me since I like to keep my devices clean and arranged is uninstalling apps and games. I noticed that after uninstalling some files remain.
4] Another thing is that mostly with trial versions of apps, I cant seem to find them anywhere in my files folder therefore I cant check if after uninstalling all the junk is removed.
Besides that I can say that the phone is pretty good although the build and the pentile is kinda let down but enough has been said on this forum on that subject.
Thank you for your answers.

The same issue as on all computers... messy apps. The files on the sdcard do not really belong to the app so Android cannot delete them automatically.

You cannot see the app installation folder since the system hides them. All you can see is the before-mentioned junk.

I'm also new to the SGSlll and I have a the same questions that were answered and it helped a lot but I got a couple of my own if it's not to imposing to ask,
1) Somehow the green call button that used to be beside the number or the name of the contact in the logs section disappeared and I know I can swipe to call it, but I would like that button back because it is easier for me. I don't know whether this was gone from the recent update.
2) why is there some games and apps that I can't find in play store, I tried to DL them from the Internet and it said you can't DL them in your country (Egypt) is there anything I could that will allow me to DL them?
3) Is there any ways to create a folder so that I can put all the games together for example??
Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience as I said am still new to andriods.

Restrictions can be imposed on multiple levels
- Hardware specs (notably display resolution)
- Android Version
- Hardware name
- Country
- Carrier
In your case it seems to be the country. There are multiple descriptions on XDA and other sites, but afaik all of them include using a Proxy server. It's not trivial but unfortunately the only method for accessing them from the Play Store.

Not on the stock launcher afaik. You can create folders on the home screen but not in the app drawer.
There exist several other free Launchers in the Play Store capable of creating folders, try them out.

You can create folders in the apps drawer by clicking the left menu button > edit. Then drag an app (you should be able to see an empty folder icon at bottom left corner) and mount it over the folder icon. The app will now appear in a folder. Rest of the apps can be moved to the folder as well and you can name it whatever you like. Be sure to save the setting at top right corner. This folder can also be dragged to the home screen menu. Hope this helps.

That works well, did not know this. Personally I like to use Apps Organizer by Fabio Collini (on the Market for free). It also gives u the opportunity to create folders with your themed apps (i.e. games / tools / navigation / ...) The advantage here is that you can select your own icon for the folder to go on your home screen. Especially if you have a lot of themed folders (like I do) you can create a much nicer look this way.

The call button on the right side was removed in the LFB update. Samsung probably thought it was redundant and I agree with that. They could have made it optional though.
At the moment there's no way to get that back unless you replace that particular apk (dialer.apk maybe) with the older version of it.

That's fully configurable. Dropbox doesn't upload anything except you actually tell it to.
Go to Settings->Accounts->Sync and disable the Sync accounts and settings you do not need or want.
I'd recommend syncing Contacts+Bookmarks through Google and using SMS Backup+ to sync call logs and SMS.
With those present, even a lost/broken device would be acceptable in terms of data loss to me.

Well I copy pasted the code into the features.xml file for the various Web browser additions, like perma-Desktop view mode and show user agent profile under advanced settings. But none of them worked. I looked through the web section to make sure there were no countering duplicates, and there wasn't.
I went ahead and rebooted into recovery, wiped cahce/dalvik, fixed permissions and booted back up and no go. Anyone get these settings working?

See, you shouldn't need to copy anything in, but simply change trues to false and so forth. If you pasted a line in, I'd be suspicious that you have the line in there already overriding the new one. Most of the CSC features are already in the file.

Yeah I checked through for duplicate lines and didn't see any of the 3 lines that I added before pasting them in.
Just to add to the mix, somehow adding 3 lines that affected the browser only, I found that my Samsung keyboard symbol overlay was missing. So I just deleted my custom features.xml and restored the backup and it's all back to normal again. Was also seeing wierdness with MMS with the modified xml as well.
Anyway I'll look again just to be sure, but trying to decide if I really care enough for it at this point.
Update: yeah for sure there isn't a single duplicate. I copied the XML to my desktop and searched through with keywords and there was nothing that matched. Then read through it line by line and saw a few entries that seem similar in purpose, but are worded differently. I am unsure how to modify these or which one I should modify at all to get the desired affect, so I am leaving it alone for now.
Ironically enough however I found a solution to an annoying "feature" that's been plaguing me for awhile now. Whenever I toggle to Camcorder or open up the camera app into Camcorder, it would ask me what video mode I want to shoot in. This was driving me nuts, and sure enough it's being caused by a CSC feature. Well I false'd it up and yay no more annoying popup. Problem is, just like with the web browser changes/additions to feature.xml, whenever I modify the file all of a sudden a bunch of other things break including MMS and my keyboard's symbol overlay. Wtf =/ It's so frustrating being right there and having the solution to one problem, and then opening up a can of worms in another.
I could understand if I somehow modified parts to the keyboard CSC, and that would be why it's breaking, but I'm not. I'm going in, finding ONE line, and changing true to false. That's it. Why is this breaking other parts of my CSC? Any ideas Adrynalyne?

Wtf =/ It's so frustrating being right there and having the solution to one problem, and then opening up a can of worms in another.
I could understand if I somehow modified parts to the keyboard CSC, and that would be why it's breaking, but I'm not. I'm going in, finding ONE line, and changing true to false. That's it. Why is this breaking other parts of my CSC? Any ideas Adrynalyne?

I have a feeling it is the editor you are using.
Things like notepad add extra characters to files which can invalidate the entries and cause other errors. Try something like notepad ++.
I'm trying to install Kik Messenger twice. I have two accounts and don't like to log out because I lose all of my conversation history. I'm currently using Titanium backup's profile feature, which is a very nice fix, but it's still a pain having to switch back and forth between profiles. I might be looking for "perfect" when perfect doesn't exist. I am completely new to modding apks and Android in general, all of my work on this so far has been "trial and error". Anyways, here's what I have:
I have the Google Play version of Kik installed on my phone. I have taken that app and modified the package name successfully using apktool. However, when I try to install, I get an error saying something about duplicate provider authority. So I did some research and learned that I'm supposed to edit this part of the AndroidManifest. So I have played around with that a little bit and after I change the authorities, I am able to install the modded app. However, it crashes immediately.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem with the provider/authorities? I have attached the Kik apk, which has the modded package name and has been signed. The provider/authorities have not been touched by me in this attachment.
EDIT: I just realized this got posted in the wrong section. Sorry. Could a mod move this to a more appropriate section please?
