hey guys. I recently rooted my phone, many thanks for that by the way, however something that only exists in Germany that's very similar to Facebook called StudiVZ isn't integrated anymore. This isn't like... thaaaaat bad or anything, it would just be nice to have it working again since I'm living in Germany atm.
Is there a way to say "enable" it in SE's Generic Roms (assuming they just don't have it enabled but the code's still there) or can I somehow load the necessary files for that from the Germany-Generic Rom onto my current setup?
Thanks for your help guys. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants this in Germany and I apologize if I'm repeating something already covered. I couldn't find anything in the search.
You need to get the apk files to get it working again, just like the Hyves part for Dutch X10 users, you need to find someone who's willing to pull and upload the files for you! Good luck!
ahh okay thank you very much kevin. I know it's not currently possible to decrypt branded roms, but what about the generic roms for different regions?
either that or can any Germans please hook me up with the necessary files? =) da wär ich jemanden sehr dankbar
I think this should do the magic. I have attached German Rom Timescape files, because there is no "real" Addon/Plugin for StudiVZ. I think they hardcoded it into Timescape.

EDIT: Sorry i found it!
Extract my attached zip. You will find another zip and a apk.
Put the zip in /data/app
Put the apk in /data/app-private
ok I downloaded the files, copied the old ones to the sdcard, copied the new ones (from the zip file) to the sdcard in another folder, then I dd'd the new ones over into /system/app/ and now the phone doesn't want to start... it's just showing the Sony Ericsson logo at first and now it's not moving forward at all...
Did I miss something? Can still get into Debug mode to copy over the old files for now?
current rom: 024
Thanks very much for any help
*EDIT*
Ok I figured out I can still get into Debug mode to change the files around... however the sdcard isn't mounted. I'm gonna try a few things but I would like to know how I could mount it.
Hm, i think in packages.xml now TS key is false for the packages. Packages.xml is found in /data/system/packages.xml
And don't forget to chmod 644 the files.
Here are the timescape entrys in the german rom :
Code:
<package name="com.sonyericsson.android.contentmanager.service.timescape" codePath="/system/app/TimeScapeProvider.apk" system="true" ts="1277952731000" version="1" userId="10038">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="5" />
</sigs>
Code:
<package name="com.sonyericsson.android.timescape" codePath="/system/app/Timescape.apk" system="true" ts="1277952872000" version="1" userId="10021">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="5" />
</sigs>
</package>
Code:
<package name="com.sonyericsson.android.timescape.pluginmanager.framework.application" codePath="/system/app/TimescapePluginManager.apk" system="true" ts="1277952731000" version="1" userId="10006">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="5" />
</sigs>
</package>
Maybe you can try to fix it if you change this entrys with the right TS.
My sdcard is mounted like this:
Code:
/dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=
1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,s
hortname=mixed,utf8 0 0

okay... so this hasn't gone quite like planned... I did the following to put the old files back in their place but it doesn't seem to have worked just yet.
I mounted the sdcard to the PC using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531310
after that I copied the folder with the original files for my phone onto my laptop. I then proceeded to do the following:
./adb push /home/doug/Downloads/GermanTimescape/Timescape/TimeScapeProvider.odex /timescape/
./adb push /home/doug/Downloads/GermanTimescape/Timescape/TimeScapeProvider.apk /timescape/
./adb push /home/doug/Downloads/GermanTimescape/Timescape/TimescapePluginManager.odex /timescape/
./adb push /home/doug/Downloads/GermanTimescape/Timescape/TimescapePluginManager.apk /timescape/
./adb push /home/doug/Downloads/GermanTimescape/Timescape/Timescape.odex /timescape/
./adb push /home/doug/Downloads/GermanTimescape/Timescape/Timescape.apk /timescape/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in this case the Backed-up files were copied to /home/doug/Downloads/GermanTimescape/Timescape/ and as you can see each was placed on the folder /timescape I created with 777 permissions to get the files on the phone at least.
I then did the following:
./adb shell dd if=/timescape/Timescape.apk of=/system/app/Timescape.apk
./adb shell dd if=/timescape/Timescape.odex of=/system/app/Timescape.odex
./adb shell dd if=/timescape/TimeScapeProvider.odex of=/system/app/TimeScapeProvider.odex
./adb shell dd if=/timescape/TimeScapeProvider.odex of=/system/app/TimeScapeProvider.odex
./adb shell dd if=/timescape/TimeScapeProvider.odex of=/system/app/TimeScapeProvider.odex
./adb shell dd if=/timescape/TimeScapeProvider.odex of=/system/app/TimeScapeProvider.odex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and despite that I'm still not getting the phone to boot. I'm gonna double check permissions, etc, but until then any ideas?
thanks,
Doug
*EDIT*
ok so somehow that didn't work. some of the timestamps are from an hour or so ago so I doubt that's right. I'm doing something wrong... arghhhhh
btw I can't seem to get the sdcard mounted here still... whenever I try to mount it, it complains about my syntax. my linux knowledge is failing me (= me failing^^)
This was a double-post originally but now that I got it back working I'm just gonna use this post anyway...
wow I completely fell asleep. after re-analyzing my scripts I notice now how many mistakes I made.... just fixed filenames and the phone booted right up without me even having to reboot it! now I'm going to go at it a little slower and check out those files Binary.
thanks again
*EDIT #2*
well I copied the files from Binary, edited the packages.xml accordingly and it didn't work. the VZ-Networks haven't shown up.
OK I know this will be a third post but it was originally not supposed to be like that... I do somewhat need a *bumb* now due to new information. I now believe that timescape is dependant on a lib under /system/lib/
my reasoning is that you have libs for facebook and twitter (both of which are enabled in Timescape in generic roms) however for twitter I know for sure I have no applications installed for it to work.
The dependency could very well lie on more files (probably settings files for Timescape regarding plugins) but if someone could please get me the proper .so file from the lib folder (or just the entire lib folder would be fine if size makes no difference) so I can try and get that working.
I can upload tomorrpw. But havw you already copied the two files in my zip? From what i'm knowing only from brainstroming there are some entrys from timescape in default. Prop located in system dir. Take a look there too.
But normally the addons which are located in /data/app and /data/app-private should work.....

hey can you still upload those files and and others you might think play a role?

*EDIT*
Sorry... Yes, I tried all of them.
a-ha! Correction! I hadn't seen the second file (I didn't notice that you had edited your post). I did what you said and now it works. =D Thank you!
Good
I forgot you almost sorry
but if it runs now there is no need for the libs anymore

I tried and failed with Seesmic so far.
[INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]
Update:
Twitter and Tweetdeck also fail to install (didn't verify the error).
Update2:
Seems like others had noticed this before:
http://forum.samdroid.net/f38/cant-install-seesmic-after-kitchen-v2-1949/#post45656
I do have GMaps installed, though ...
Update3:
Figured out the problem.
Need to push the missing files:
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
Then reboot and it should be fixed (Twitter, Seesmic, Tweetdeck now install).
Update4:
It seems that this fix may apply to any app that used Google location services. (More useful than I thought )
Also see here (post 10) for the Quick Howto:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9657322&postcount=10
Update5:
Don't forget to remount the /system parition (else, you will get messages about read-only issues).
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

I assume you got these files from a GApps archive somewhere. Could you point out which one? Would love to have Tweetdeck on my NC.

You can extract the necessary files from any of a number of GApps floating around (like this one):
http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip
That fix actually enables a whole slew of other apps -- basically all the things which wouldnt work because they lacked location services (i.e. all the good stuff). You should seriously post that in another post as a generic non-installing app fix.
I just got Parallel Kingdoms running, so my NC experience is complete.
quick how-to
remount rw so we can modify /system
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
copy over the two files from the zip:
Code:
adb push com.google.android.maps.xml /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
adb push com.google.android.maps.jar /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
reboot the device
Code:
adb shell
reboot
This should be working, I've done very limited tests to confirm that it's accurate

Thanks for this. I have the two missing files, but can't figure out how to frame the push command. Can someone help please.
So weather apps and twitter apps are the main beneficiaries of this hack? Anything other noteworthy apps that come to mind?
Thanks for the step by step guide !!
This tutorial worked perfectly. Pushed the two files, rebooted, and Tweetdeck installed. Works like a charm. Thanks, folks!
Also, what gapps bundle did you get those out of, the one linked earlier in the thread? Going to try to push some more files out of it, try to get Gmail and Google Reader working.
I must be missing something. I just tried this and it responded with:
failed to copy <file> to <location> : Read-only file system
Do I need to do the superuser stuff first?

Any brave souls tried the new Market today?
Yes, I just tried it. It works! and it fixes the button problem in 2.2.6.
I first tried one that did not work, but I've attached the one I did get to work. Just copy into /system/app, rename to Vending.apk, and change permissions.
Enjoy!

adb reboot
Or, you can just download and install it like any other apply. It'll install over the old Market no problem. It Indore you that it's a system apply, but works anyway.

Took the plunge... did it from the APK. Works.
The scrolling issue when you had to flip the NC in landscape is gone. But I find it a royal pain to switch between Paid, Free and Just In. For some reason the oval overlay trasfers the click on the app below and I end up opening that instead. I found that switching requires a rather precise click... something to think about Mr. Sergei. Well... maybe not for us free spirits
Thanks, I just installed it and it worked, straight from tapatalk app.
Worked fine for me also.

I've downloaded and put it into the system\app folder, renamed and when market opens it just instantly crashes.

This should work on Honeycomb 1 and 2/2a. It includes Contact Sync for GMail (I needed this), Gmail, Market, Talk, and Maps.

You can either add any missing files using the above code or just run the script and it will overwrite/replace everything. I have been mucking with files so hopefully everything required is included... I've left v1 attached just in case.
When downloading from the market sometimes it is very slow, sometimes very fast. There can also be a delay between when you click install and you see the download start. Be patient, if you click install again you will start a second download.

I just get FC's out of the framework and the market... Using the 02 version of the Nook Honey posted which adds sound... Something needs to change in the framework or such?
I updated to 1.1.0.
Everything works great.
The Market is totally different. I used to only have a few apps in portrait, but in landscape I had more.
Now it all looks different but works great portrait or landscape.
Seems like I have many more apps available now.

No, I made the disk, booted into HC (2, with sound), plugged in USB cable, pushed/chmod'ed, rebooted. From there FC's on related items. Didn't do anything else at all.
I might mess with a bit more here later. I have it on two cards, one I put your files on, the other I didn't....
Weird.. Rebooted a few times and the FC's stopped, and then the market worked, google sync worked..
Then things went south again Okay, HC is cute, played with it, check! Back to the stock ROM.

Hi,
I'm attempting to replace Email.apk on my miui rom. This is the method I am using:
Code:
adb push Email.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Email.apk
rm /system/app/Email.odex
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app
reboot
When the phone has rebooted, my changes do not take affect. To check, I pulled the /system/app/Email.apk back, and found it to be the original version.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Have figured this out...
adb appears to send some kind of cached version over. Renaming the file before transferring forced adb to use the correct file, and all is well.

You'll get lots of FCs until you reboot the phone then it should be fine.
