Hello devs.. i am currently running the 7/11/10 version of slideme mr1 v4.. is it possible to take the messaging app, the lockscreen and the slide left to answer right to decline phone feature and put it into the slide mr 1 rom? I l know cm 6 is froyo based but the applications i seek are not.. (at least i dont think so) i know the gmail app is 2.2 only for sure. Can i take the phone.apk from cyan and use it in mr1 v4? Would that change the lockscreen also? And does anyone know how i can install the htc calendar that came wit the slide? It has the refresh option and kind of a black outer shell in the UI. And for some reason i cant install the gallery 3d.apk even though the change log says it was removed. genius button too. Thanks in advance ! You guys are always a big help when i get jammed up
I was wondering the same thing on a few options. Basically I just wanted the Facebook/Contact intergration add and I would be set with that.
Try it out and test your results... pull the apks from one update.zip and put them into the other update.zip then flash;
or .. pull the apks reboot into recovery adb push them to the /system/app folder...
post your results;
questions go in Q&A... a lot of these questions about compatability you just won't get an answer to; you have to test them yourself...
the reboot script i posted I straight up pulled out of a random rom for a samsung moment...

Don't bother....Sense apps do not work on roms they didn't come from....Especially since one is 2.2 and 2.1...Apps aren't all just backwards compatible, you cant pull rosie and put it into Cm6..Nope that wont work, sense apps rely on the "HTC" framework, which isn't in Vanilla roms. And no Cyan cant add the framework(exc htcmusic/IME). Sense is closed sourced unlike android.

Thanks for your feedback ! But you must have misread... i dont want to put sense apps on cyan 6. I want the lockscreen and the phone settings from cyan 6 to use on the 2.1 rom. I also would like to get the htc calendar back on the 2.1 rom im running because it originally came with the phone but for some reason this has just the regular calendar. And this 2.1 mr1 v4 rom is based off of the original rom that the slide came with so it should work. Does anyone know what apk has the information for how you answer or reject calls upon receiving them? Is it dialer or phone.apk ? Thx !
I am not 100 % sure but i think I remember reading that if you remove the lockscreen.apk that it will force the default android lockscreen ( the one you want to work) to work. If that doesnt work then I swear I can remeber one of clays roms had the expresso lockscreen taken out so if it is a APK then you can get it from there. I dnt have tome to check it out right now, but might be able to later.
Ok so i removed the htclockscreen.apk and the phone booted correctly.. but the lockscreen is now out of wack lol.. it still moves up and down like the original htc lock screen but it has the buttons of the lockscreen i want. so i cant slide left to right, i still slide up and down except it has the other buttons that you see in cyanogen 6 2.2 froyo
also i used the zip packeage that was provided at the top of that thread to change back to default lockscreen.. it worked but only to unlock the phone... i need the same thing for when i receive a call.. i want to slide left or right, not up or down to decline or answer calls
I was really hoping it woukd work. I wanted the original loccscreen too. Atleast you stopped me from trying now. There is. Neww rom out that mau be what you want but haven't had time to try it out myself yet.
yea me too... my phone is out of commission now because of removing all the apks and pushing and pulling and mixing rom elements lol ! ill flash a new zip soon and be back to normal tho.. which rom is that you speak of my good sir?
Hey Guys!
I've been trying to find a way to keep the softkey light on S2 on MIUI turned off (COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0) but there really isn't a way...
I've noticed in CM7 there is a Galaxy SII settings app that can be found independently in Titanium Backup. That app has the option to turn off the softkey backlight completely.
Do you think it's possible to drag that app from CM7 and Install it on MIUI to turn off the keylight? Considering from what I've read MIUI is based partly on CM right?
Go to display setting. Turn on auto brightness and beneath it will be advanced settings or something. Then there should be automatic backlight tab or Light Levels. Click on Edit Other levels.. Underneath button, make the value(should be 225 or 250) go to 0. You're good to go. You can turn off auto brightness then.
Pretty sure the OP said "COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0"...Wait...He did
OP - there are various scripts around the place which claim to achieve this. I also use Miui & setting the auto brightness to zero used to work. This stopped working early in the the new year so something has obviously changed in Miui's builds.
I can't vouch for the usefulness of these scripts as I've learned to live with this issue, and I don't have a link for same. Try a Google search & append XDA to your search terms. This should yield something for you.
Edit to add - With regard to pulling over an app from CM7, obviously Miui is CM based so it might work. I guess you can only try it & find out. Can't see how it could do any harm given it's only an app.
@Mistah Thanks loads dude, I've tried some of the scripts from some of the searches I did and nothing seems to work you're right.
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes, but I don't think if i get the APK out i can just install it normally right? I'd have to put it in system>app then do a reboot for it to go in nicely?
I'll test it and report it back here tmrw thanks!
No worries
Yeah I'm not surprised the scripts don't work. Yeah give it a try, put it in /system/app & also might wanna mount /system rw before you install it (if you need to, use an app like Remount to do this). Yeah do a reboot after you've installed it & cross your fingers.
Will be awaiting your report with baited breath

Pm-ed! Thanks!
Replied. Doesn't work & I doubt it will.
I wrote a script which works for me on all kernels with init.d support, here's a link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27703769/Permanently Disable Softkey Backlight.zip
If the flashable zip doesnt work just copy the script and set correct permissions (755). Please report back, because I haven't used the script for a while now...
BLN doesn't work on the script, though. I have located the file which contains the value for the backlight and changed its permissions, this disables the phone to change this value and thus keeping it off. This file is on a different location on almost every phone, so most scripts work on only one particular device.

Hey Joop!
Tested the zip and it flashed but it just seems to force the softkey light on. Doesn't go off at all after that. Thanks for the help though!
Soft key mod for CM9DX2
What this mod will do:
1. Enable on screen soft keys.
2. Disable button backlights.
While looking for a fix for this I stumbled on this app: Button Remapper
Unfortunately this app will not work on our device. I think that I can manually do remap them to work how the app works. But this would mean that everybody would use the buttons for the same thing. I was thinking of using them as media buttons as in menu=previous song home=play/pause back=next song.. let me know what you think.
If you want your hardkeys mapped a certain way just ask nicely! Maybe I can do it for you.
As always.. **Flash at your own risk**
Credits:
Evilisto for a great writeup on how to enable them.
Go thank mattmanwrx for helping me with the framework.apk
motcher41 for some help on the updater script.
Many people on xda for threads that I seached through.
Most of all.. DZK for giving us CM9!
How to flash:
Like any other mod.
1. Boot into recovery.
2. Make NANDROID backup!
3. Wipe dalvik/cache. (NO NEED TO WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET )
4. Flash zip.
5. Reboot.
CM10
Alpha 3
CM9
Beta 1 softkeys
Beta 1 disable
MIUI 2.8.10
2.8.10 enable
2.8.10 disable
By going to:
Settings >
System >
Navigation bar >
You can edit and add or remove features of navigation bar. Thanks again dark_system for pointing this out.
Hardkey remap (these will work for all versions even though they are labeled for alpha 4)
Flash this after softkey mod if you want your hardkeys to be media buttons:
Menu= Previous song
Home= Play/pause
Back button= Next song
Please note:These will work while screen is OFF, so if you have issues with hitting the buttons while your phone is in your pocket I do not suggest flashing. I did it this way because I play music off of my phone a LOT and I do not want to wake it every time I wanted to go to the next song.
This zip will do the same as above, but will also use the search key as a camera button like the one on a droid x for example.
This one is made for gamers. It will turn your hard keys into dpad keys.
Menu= Dpad left
Home= Dpad up
Back= Dpad down
Search= Dpad right
And here is the zip for the stock hardkeys so you can try out both the mod and hardkey zips and flash back to stock easily.
The mods here will come from the thread in jsgraphicart's post in this post. Just to be clear, this is not my work, it is work of the developers who make the originals in that thread.
I am not going to make a zip for every one of the mods, but if a couple people request it I can get one made.
Newest MIUI softkeys come with the robotov2 style.
I have made a zip for CM9 Beta one and ParanoidAndroid using the ics blue reflection. (Although the PA one looks funky, not sure about the others yet)
CM9 Beta 1- Will only work if you already have the softkey mod installed.
ParanoidAndroid
You can also do this yourself, it is not very hard.
1. Take one of the softkey mods for your rom.
2. Unzip the files and navigate to system/app/SystemUI.apk
3. Extract the SystemUI.apk files and navigate to res/drawable-hdpi
4. Unzip the mod with the softkey you would like and navigate to the folders with the softkey images.
5. Move the images from the you want into drawable-hdpi.
6. Rezip all contents of SystemUI.apk.(assets, meta-inf, androidmanifest, ect.) Make you have .apk on the end.
7. Place your new SystemUI.apk back in system/app and delete what was leftover.
8. Rezip the contents of the mod and sign using this tool.
9. Flash and enjoy.
Thanks glad someone is working on this, hope you can get it straightened out.

that's pretty neat/weird that it makes your settings app think it is on a tablet.

Yeah, I don't understand why that happens. I didn't touch anything other than change the nav bar value to true and add a few png files to system ui. Looks alright in landscape, it's hardly useable in portrait though. I'm trying to find a fix in the thread that I got the directions for this from and it seems like there are a lot of people that posted with the same problem but none posted a solution, at least that I could find.

Do not flash this! You've been warned. This does not work in Alpha 4. Causes phone to hang on the Caynogen 9 boot screen. Luckily I backed up my rom.

If you did try to flash you could have just reflashed cm9 without wiping data.
Also, I'm glad you made a backup.. But the op does states that the zip was only tested on alpha 3.
Sent from my MB870 using Tapatalk 2
Look forward to it. I can deal with that stuff I just hate my hard buttons
I love the soft buttons, and can't wait for them to be done for Alpha 4, but curious, is there any way for them to be located on the bottom at all times(Portrait or Landscape Mode)?
I don't think so, that's the way they were designed. I googled to see if there was any kind of mod out there that would do this and I couldn't find anything. It's probably possible, but I don't think anybody wants to put in that much time.

What is your DPI set at? I dont know how android works behing the scenes but maybe the settings app has changed to tablet version because of the DPI. I know my TouchPads DPI is set to 140. I think phones have a higher DPI though.

The default on our phone is 240. Which is what mine is set at. I have no idea why the tablet settings come up. It's supposed to if you change the dpi to 160 or less.. So I'm lost there lol.

Thats what I thought. Hmm, thats weird.
Well I am in the process of sbf and re-installing cm9 after flashing this mod.
Not sure what I did wrong but it just hangs on cid at boot-up.
Be cautious with this mod!

Hmm I haven't had any problems flashing back and forth. And you shouldn't have to sbf, recovery should still be installed, you should either have a nandroid backup or you can flash cm9 again with wiping only cache and dalvik.
Now which file were you trying to flash and which version of cm9 were you on? And what steps did you take.
Sent from my MB870 using Tapatalk 2
I was flashing the latest alpha 4 mod file, and I am on cm9 alpha 4. I didn't sbf. just restored nandroid. I thought I was going to have to since it didn't go into recovery at first. But I pulled battery and then was able too.
I wiped the big three and then flashed the mod .zip through bsr.
Then it just stays at boot animation forever. I pulled battery and same thing. 3 times.

Don't wipe data/system reset. This only modifies the ROM.

Also note that when you wipe the dalvik, it takes longer to boot since it has to build it again. How long did you wait before concluding it was stuck?
I had this when using the Base, but after going stock again in preparation for CM or AOSP I lost the ability to wake using the volume rocker. I know I need to edit a file in system/usr/keylayout but I can't remember which one, and if that was the only thing i needed to do.
I've tried searching this forum for it, but have not been able to find it. I remember when I read it, it was a offshoot of another thread within it.
Thanks for any help and have an awesome one.

Rootbox has it as an option, and I think the new CM10 has it as well.
If you're intending to use AOSP anyway, there really isn't anything for you to do.

Yeah I was able to try those and while I prefer their aesthetic I miss not having more control of the hardware. (eco-mode, wise screen, etc.) If any of the ROMs for the G had the eco-mode feature I'd stick with it, but as it is the Nova launcher and stock are more than ok.
So for anyone who might know could you let me know?
Thanks!

Go to system/usr/keylayout. Edit file "keypad_8064.kl", key 114 and key115 as shown. Save a backup of original file, just in case.
Get Trickster MOD from the play store. You can set ECO mode with it if you are using the Houcha kernel.

Thank you for the feedback guys.
I knew about the editing the keylayout file, but even after editing it does not change the rocker behavior. I remember needing to do something else to a file, but I can't find the reference anywhere.
Being on the houchu kernell would require me to convert the phone to the nexus 4 wouldn't it?

Is there a way to change the stock sound of the water touch sound?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
If you use Root Explorer you can navigate to system/media/audio/ui and change sounds there. If there's an easier way maybe somebody can help you but that's how I do it
edit: you'll have to copy the new sounds and rename or delete the orignal sounds to change them
You should be able to copy the ui sounds from another rom...like one of the Jelly Beans builds by Beanstown106,
he uses AOSP sounds which I prefer. Or you could just use the mentioned rom and have sounds built in.
Of course the beanstown link isn't working. I hate the touchwiz sounds
i am in the same boat, i can not stand the water sound for touch, so i just keep this on my sdcard so i can add it to the list of zips i flash after a new rom, or test builds or what have you
feel free to use if you like
its the aosp touch sound, its just a quite click, it changes the defult touch sound as well as the softkey/captive button touch sound.

Thanks, ill save that. I found a few simple sounds in the ui folder and renamed them to the appropriate thing. Only thing I can't seem to change or am overlooking is the dialer sound key press. But other than that its perfect. No more stupid water sounds on touch or keys or unlock. Depending on the sounds you're using, it tricks your mind and makes it seem quicker without the long water sound.

the dialer is
Dialer_new.ogg ( if memory server me)
and i know there is a gallery one too... just cant remember where/ what its name is hell it may be in the gallery apk itself.
Also, if anyone is having problems getting sounds to work once replaced, make sure that you set the permissions on the new file appropriately. The permissions should be: rw- r-- r--. Hope this helps someone.
