Hi,
i pulled the deskclock.apk file from CM5 for N1 zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623496) and installed it from the phone with no issues at all (extracted to pc, moved to phone, then launched from folder). however, i can't seem to change the settings -- i get a force close. same thing happens when i click on the music icon, but i assume its looking for the stock music player instead of TW music. that one doesn't concern me much.
do i need another app to configure? is it possible to manually edit a file?
i am unrooted, if that helps. (just waiting for samsung distribution of froyo this month...).
thanks!
I also get force close..
in case this helps someone else, i found that "Alarm Clock Plus V2" gives all the functionality and looks of the stock deskclock.apk, but actually works well (on the Vibrant) and has more functionality.

My guess is there is a dependency missing. Another app that deskclock uses. Try grabbing the Clock.apk from cm5 and try again.
Try going to market and look for Samsung. The galaxy version of the desk clock is there.

thanks guys. i think i'll stick with alarm clock plusV2 for now though -- does everything i want.
rel500, i downloaded that app before and, although i like it overall, the night mode is way too bright for me. it also doesn't seem to stay on while plugged in, which is a little annoying. thanks for the suggestion though.
The app is dependent upon the stock music apk that is on the CM builds, it is looking for that for the settings to be changed and also to open up the music player portion, you can set the alarm but that is it, unless you go to the hybrid build, which has the needed music player, or if you know what you are doing you can replace it yourself. But be aware that many of the touchwiz features are dependent upon each other. So know what your are doing before you break it.
Did they pull the desk clock from the market not showing up on mine

I wish I could put this question in a more thought provocative way... but the problems very simple and random:
I've been running the latest evil fascination rom on inmuts -50uv kernel for over a week now with spectacular results in every aspect of the rom. (honestly one of the most satisfying rom packages imo) *with outstanding battery life I might add*
The weird: when I first set up the phone, I assigned on of the standard android notification sounds for my text messages. A day or two ago, it changed on its own and when I went back to the settings, the only two options I got were "silent and facebook pop"... (*note: I don't even have Facebook app installed and have not a long time ago.. I just use the browser)
This same problem occurred in my default Clock app as well and so now the only sound option I am able to assign for any of my alarms is "silent' ...irony kills me
Any ideas as to what might be going on? I use custom ringtones but I have never made a custom notification folder on my sdcard so whatever must be clashing/happening might be internal.
Taking a blind guess, but I'm guessing the facebook app created the notification folder on your sdcard where the "facebook pop" resides. And for a different reason you probably have a ".nomedia" file in your system/media folder. Delete that file to regain your original sounds.
Resolved!
Thank you so much, that did do the trick. Both the .nomedia file as well as the facebook sound file that was creeping around in the system/media directory.
It would be nice to know how it decided to revert the settings on its own...
Glad it worked. I had the same issue when upgrading to the latest evil fascination rom using the latest patch.
Don't know why it happened but was an easy fix
Hey guys I seem to have lost my Gingerbread stock browser. I was playing with widgets and I wanted to make some space and "removed" my browser from the home panels..not the application panel. Now when I went into applications I cannot seem to find my stock browser!! How do I get it back?! Please help this is very annoying...
Also I don't want to use any other browser..I tried dolphin, and various others..I am not happy with them. Stock seemed to be the smoothest, fastest, and appealing browser to me.
You can't delete the stock browser. Did you check and recheck all the icons in your app drawer? It could be there, I know myself looking over an app for like 10 times, then discover I have it installed when going through the market.
Try a reboot or something, I hope it'll help.

I did a reboot. I'm not sure what you mean by app drawer? Is that the same as the "application" menu with all the apps installed? I'm new to android I just got the Galaxy S2 two days ago, so bare with me. I did the google search in my phone also to help me find it, and it cannot locate it. In fact you need the browser for it so when it asked me to view a web page it asked to use "dolphin" or "skyfire" not my "Internet" browser.
You can't delete Stock browser. You may have deleted the Widget but no way one can remove the system browser. Even I doubt it if it's possible to delete by TB, so it must there in Menu.
Regards.
Yes the App Drawer is the official name for the menu with all the icons. It's very weird you could remove the stock browser. And that you can't select it anymore.
Does your phone give any errors when using the dialer (the app you use to call someone)? Since the SGS2's Dialer.apk relies on the Browser.apk (filename for an android app), weirdly enough.
You cannot remove an app when using the home menu. At least not using the stock TouchWiz interface.
If you have no errors or problems, it HAS to be there.
This happend to me to on my galaxy tab. I think I did it with titanium back up. I don't know how you did it but you can reflash stock software with odin and get it back. You might lose your data.
It's working now. I spent a few hours trying to figure out what happen to the browser! I gave up. Funny thing is before this issue I flashed my ROM to Litening 3.2 I didn't like the bugs on it..especially the very heavy laggy internet bug! So I got a new browser didn't like it. While I was moving my widgets around I usually "remove" them and go back to my app draw to place them again where I want. I went to my app draw...no internet browser. After unable to figure it out..I reflashed my ROM back to the previous litening ROM 3.0. Then what do you know the browser came back! It has nothing to do with litening ROM, but I'm guessing it has a browser.apk in it so it installed it for me again.
Hi, I've got a new phone recently, and I'd like to turn my old HTC legend into a mp3 player.
I'd like to completely remove Android and just make it a file manager similar to an iPod Classic, so I can play audio and video files.
I want the file manager to be the ONLY program on the phone, exept being able to take pictures (althogh the last is optional)
How do you do that/anything similar?
Thank you.
Ummmm that's not going to happen, android is the operating system that is which makes everything work on the phone, if you could some how manage to "only" have a file manager installed, how you going to play the music? You would need a music player too, the music player isn't going to work cause none of the hardware will be working because you need the os to make it work.....
Best thing you can do is if its not rooted, either use the complicated root methods on xda or unlock the bootloader with the htcdev.com method and the s-off recovery for clockwork mod and flash a rooted rom then you remove the sim card and use it that way, apparantly there is a setting in the build.prop file that will let you do this it is
keyguard.no_require_sim=?
True or false
True means you need sim card
False means you don't need sim card.
I haven't actually tried this as yet so can't confirm if it actually works.
Edit:- just tried this for you, those settings didn't make any difference when I restarted my phone it didn't stop me from booting and using my phone, only thing missing network access.
Btw what you see on an iPod is only a user interface, there is still an embedded operating system beneath what you see on the surface...

Yes I understand that, but how do you remove everything that isnt a file manager and media player and change the UI to only be the file manager.
By that I mean, when I launch the phone, I come directly to the file manager, no logo, no launcher.
What you are wanting to do might, and I emphasis might be possible but I'd suggest its going to be pretty complicated.
You will also not be able to do this if you remove android compleatly

It's not important to me wether or not it's an android.
I'm sure you can install some other lighter OS instead
Ranger told you already, but here is ANOTHER confirmartion: NO, you NEED Android.
But you can root the phone and delete all not-important-APK's (Apps!) such as facebook/twitter/flickr and stuff. You can get a simpler launcher from the market. Then delete vending.apk from /system/app/ (vending.apk = Android Market) and some Sense UI files maybe??
Install ADW Launcher, Poweramp and your file manager of choice.
Configure ADW to only show shortcuts to Poweramp, the camera and your filemanager. It'll still have tons of apps installed, and all the potential that comes with having the rest on your system, but to you it'd look pretty much like nothing but an mp3 player.
Don't see why you want to get rid of Android - it'd be like removing iOS from an iPod touch, and by the sounds of it you haven't exactly rooted and messed around with this before?
I've tried and tried and I just can't set my own sounds . I've searched xda and my problem and [non-successful] results are exactly as described in this [closed] thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40583172&postcount=5 BUT the solution in the very next post (and other suggestions) aren't working for me.
I put two sound files onto my One by installing ES File Explorer and copying the files from a server on my home network. The files got onto that server via ESFE directly from my old phone.
I put the mp3 I want to use as a default ringtone into /sdcard/Ringtones. The built-in Android sound picker doesn't show it, so I used ESFE to select it and I did break the default sound picker, just as described in that post, but the ringtone wasn't actually changed (i.e., I was still stuck with the default "AT&T Firefly" ringtone). I had to rename/delete the mp3 in order to fix the Android sound picker. Before I found that thread, I did a factory reset to fix it.
I want to use the other file (a wav) for Google Talk "new messages". I put that file in /sdcard/Notifications and Google Talk did not display it in the list of choices. I created /sdcard/media/audio/notifications and put it in there, too, as well as in each level of that folder tree (/sdcard/media and /sdcard/media/audio). Still no luck.
I'm singling out the Phone ringtone and Google Talk, but no apps see either of the files (I'm only using the built-in sound picker at this point). Apps DO list all of the built-in sounds (Aero, Ao, Aqua, etc. for ringtones, Almond, Azure, Capri, etc. for notifications) and I CAN pick from those, but I don't want to.
I'm running unrooted 100% out-of-the-box stock AT&T 4.1.2 with Sense 5.0. Please don't tell me to root, use another launcher, etc.; I've happily done that on my previous phones and will eventually get there with this one, but I'm not there yet. Maybe after there's an "official" 4.2, but that's another conversation and not a good answer.
I rebooted the phone after every copypaste.
I renamed the files so they were one, 6-letter word (no spaces or non-alpha characters).
I made sure the filenames were all lower case.
Both of these files will play via Amazon MP3, ES Media Player, Google Play Music, and Music on the One.
Both of these files worked as ringtone and notification on my previous phone, a rooted TMO MyTouch 4G running Android Revolution v7.04.
I am stumped and frustrated and have no idea what my phone is trying to tell me with these built-in AT&T mellow yoga-esque windchime noises, which I hate. I want my own sounds.
Are you guys not having this problem? Do I have to use some other specific file format (m4a? ogg?)? Do my mp3 and wav have to be a certain bitrate or something? Is there some other, special place I'm supposed to drop my files? How are you all doing this?
I just use Zedge from the play store. Free massive crowd source database, no need to root.

SOLUTION
Got it working. You HAVE to copy your own sounds via USB. Full text of solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40660425&postcount=9 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40660425#post40660425

Hi all,
I am using GingerBread for Samsung Note 1. My music player no longer updated the playlist when I added new songs to the phone.
I guess there must be crash in the updating of the playlist database. Any method that I can use to determine how the crash happened and then I can try to fix it? (I rooted the phone )
Thanks.

First off...Gingerbread?! Really?! There are stable versions of Jelly Bean for your phone! Secondly, are you using the stock Samsung music player, or another app. But I would go into Settings / Application Manager and clear the data of your music app. Hopefully once you restart it, it will rebuild your playlists. That or your media scanner isn't working that well. Typically when you reboot, it should rescan the media on your phone and then it'd show up in the app.
Thirdly... Gingerbread?! lol Please, do yourself a favor and update! Not only will you have better performance (and likely battery life), but you will have access to more apps, lots of new features, as well as a more secure / safer system.
As far as telling what happened, you would have to get a logcat going when the issue happens (though I am not so sure there will be anything obvious for this sort of thing). Easiest way to do logcats are probably just on the phone with an app like alogcat.
