Code:
So after installing and reinstalling GingerBlur and GreyBlur, I have multiple duplicate entries of the Tethering APN. I was wondering if there is a simple way to remove these extra entries. Not that it really makes a difference in anything, but it would be nice to just get rid of them :P
Thanks for the help
I feel like a fool, just found the option. Don't know why I wasn't finding it before :\
And now I can't seem to remember how to do a strikeout...I feel quite silly.

Hello
I want to configure all of Sense tabs to use the widgets I want, in my rom after a hard reset or after a new flash, so I dont have to configure it over and over again.
I know that /system/customize/MNS/default.xml edits some of the favorites bookmarks and such, but I cant configure all tabs.
Coming for WM, all I had to do then, was to set sense as I wanted, export the reg entries, and cook it in my new rom.
Can I do something similar in Android?
Does Sense builds some XML file that I can cook in my kitchen?
Thanks for helping a noob cook.

so far i know of a few settings that u can setup if u decompile some apk's.
settingsprovider is one of them...
u change some values bool.xml and recompile.
and yes... default.xml is an easy way to change up things... the only issue i had with that is that i can only switch around between htc apps... i could never get for example "fancywidget" to load instead of htc clockwidget.
i also setup the system to accept "non market apps installations" because that way u can basically get rid of everything stock and have everything else working instead. for example once u set it like that u can use any keyboard that u'd like instead of htc_ime by simply putting the app inside /data/app or system/app and removing clicker.apk and htc_ime.apk... then the sys will pick your keyboard and u wont get fc's and such.
there are a bunch of other tiny tricks u can do... u can basically setup the rom anyway u want by decompiling apk's and changing colors/bools(settings)/ringtone/notifications sounds/animations etc... it's not so hard also... but u gotta know what u looking for.
im not sure how much experience u got... but i would recommend apktools by brut... or lookup apkmanager which is sort of a gui for doing all that stuff and simply start experimenting with some stuff.
p.s.
the only way i got my sense to be exactly the way i want it to at first flash is by adding a bunch of files from /data/data in th update.zip and making sure to set permissions the right way.
since im not a linux or android specialist i figured that looking up the permission of the files and folders using rootexplorer and adding them to the update script will work... and they did.
u can also add a "fix_permission" script to your boot sequence that would take care of things like that.
a lot of things to explain... but i personally do things the hard way cuz i like to figure stuff out for myslef... so my insight is only from personal experience and probably not more than 50 pages that i had to read to figure some things out.
maybe someone else knows a better way to do things like what im talking about. so it would be interesting to see who else reply to your post.
Thank you for the info my friend
I'll try that an report later.
very thanks!
hello guys just set up dxsidia android kitchen not sure if anyone uses this but i have a few questions and since dxsidia does not support this anymore was hoping someone could answer them for me...
1. is the major obvious one does it work on the photon in the thread it does say unconfirmed for atrix but nothing on photon?
2.after creating the work folder i go into advanced options and start editing? i realize since there is nothing on the photon most of my answers are probably going to be try and see but no harm in asking right...
3.it has a set of pluign scripts labeled sgs2/ sgs these are for samsung galaxy s right so i dont want to use any of them?
4. there is a task killer tweak you can add from it what exactly is this?
5. add data/app functionality??? lets you add or remove apps??? not sure is why im asking
there are more q's but i figured if i can get these answered im doing good
ive read the thread for a few days now and seems simple but confusing at same time seems like its a one click type thing but if you dont know for sure what you are clicking can really screw up and have to start from scratch... anywho trying to do more around here and would appreciate any help anyone has thanks a ton
1) Yes in terms of an apk is an apk. No in terms of the updater script (IIRC)
2) Yes, assuming theres options in the advanced menu you'd like to impliment
3) You don't need the Samsung plugins.
4) Changes minfree settings in the boot image. Be aware the ICS impliments memory handling differently than previous versions.
5) Adds a script and folder for data/app partition so you can include optional apps. Optional apks (things like nascar for example) could be placed in here and would be installed on flash. But because they are in /data, the user has the option to uninstall through manage apps.
Personal Opinion: While the kitchen may be a convienient way to do things, it leaves little (Read: No) room for learning. Assuming you'd like to create a body of work to be publically distributed and not just for personal use, it might be worth the upfront investment in figuring out how to do/script this stuff yourself. That's not me trying to be an elite a-hole, that's me giving solid advice.
Cheers!
Yeah im a trying to learn as much as i can ive been reading and reading and reading have always known about the kitchen just never tried it thanks for the response you didnt come off as elitest is all good i find its easier for me to learn by trying things while reading about it granted i do research in great lengths not just in xda but other forums, blogs, links so on and so on before even downloading these tools but as i said it seems to sink in better when i can go ok i use this option this what it means thats what it did this what its supposed to do/look like

So ive been trying all day to spit out a rom with the kitchen and no matter what i do it doesnt install either get status 7 or 0 says was looking for 4agrs but only found 3 and sometimes says 3args but only found 2 ive tried using a rom i know flashes and just running it through the kitchen and flashing the output... idk what im doing wrong but starting to think it is not photon compatible any insider tips? i know i already asked this but not quite ready to surrender to defeat on this yet and i REALLY dont want to install linux or ubuntu on my computer would have to partition it and just not to keen on doing that to the family computer my kids and wife play on it almost more than i do
Edit: I decided to try the modded apk and it seems to be working fine.
Hi mods, you can delete or lock or leave this thread open. Sorry for the trouble.
I like the smiley key, but I need the return key more often than that... on SMS, yes. Understand that I love the stock MMS and keyboard now more than froyo or gingerbread combined. I don't find the need to install any 3rd party sms/keyboard apps anymore.
I've been going around the forums to see if I'm the only one looking for this. Turns out I'm not. Fortunately someone found a solution. Unfortunately it's for the Nexuses and Galaxies. Fortunately the source is on github. Unfortunately I don't know what to do with it.
I'm not trying the modded apk that's posted for Samsung. I'm wondering though if there is a large enough user need here in O1 to have someone kind enough to mod or port it? Or, better yet, point me to the right direction in making this happen with my own hands.

Hey guys, I have a few questions. I looked around a bit before posting this, but I may have missed some stuff so if I need to remove this thread just let me know that I should have looked harder(and kindly provide a link please).
First I would like to know how to get into "Themeing". I want to know how to change the colors mostly. I can usually find the file I need to edit in order to change the icon shape, but If I'm not mistaken, the colors are probably controlled in an xml file. They may all look for a "central file" that contains the colors, or I may need to change each one individually. If there is a central file could someone help me find out what it is.
I have only found how to edit apps, so here's where I get a major case of the noobs. Are the system colors controlled by the launcher or the theme or is there a UI that can be edited what do I need to do. I want to be able to change the number styles, the fonts of the keyboard, and all that jazz. The most important thing, though; is that I need to be able to change the colors. I really don't have an issue with the current fonts and don't have a good idea what to replace them with anyway.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that the above train wreck is over I have some harder questions.
I also want to get into developing. I will probably start by modifying someone else's. (side question, could I re-release theirs with my changes just so that people could test it provided I ask and give them credit. I know this depends on the person, but is it taboo, or just a no for some people) I already read through and followed shrike1978's. It was possibly the best thing that could have happened to me. It showed me that it was actually possible to do for someone with less android experience. (link)
But after I have built it what do I need to do to get started modifying it? I'm not even sure what all I want to do, but is there any suggestions of a starter project, as well as a how to do it?(maybe changing the launcher, or something like that)
Also I have been using xfce linux mint on a second hard drive of 75 gigs. Will this be an ok setup? Should I switch to ubuntu although I don't really like it as much?
Should I be s-off or on (maybe on so that I know that they will be supported)? Also is there any good vm's that run in linux and will run android?
I probably missed a few questions that I intended to ask, so I will edit them in when needed.
I plan to make a how to thread on my findings(hopefully good enough shrike gives me a :highfive: for doing a good job) so everyone who helps (provided I actually learn how and am capable of making the how to) will be thanked in my future famous thread
Also I apologize for any miss-types. I will do my best to correct them, but my keyboard is pretty broken (it took a tumble when I moved home for winter break)
I figured out the fonts(at least for the few roms I checked). They are easy to change and add. They are controlled in a system_fonts.xml in the "\system\etc" folder of the rom. The files that they represent are in the "\system\fonts" folder of the rom. The xml file has a pretty good explanation of how it is read, so adding your own should be pretty easy.
If anyone here has any suggestions even if you dont know for sure let me know please.;

You are my hero.
Folks,
Is there any way of stopping the KFHDX nannying me?
I have an unlimited data plan, and want to be able to download anything I want WHEN I want.
However when I try to download large files (especially audio books), the KFHDX comes up with the error in the title.
I find this very annoying, and was wondering if there is a way of overriding this settings somewhere?
I've been through all the menu's but I can't find it!
*BUMP*
Come on - nobody have any idea? I'm losing faith in the power of XDA, here!
Right. After a lot of Google-ing, I found this:
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...afdec0e2229368d3cc20d0/res/values/strings.xml
Can someone who understands this confirm that it is the CARRIER (EE in my case) that specifies the download limit, and not the device?
A string further down mentions the option of having a button present that overrides the restriction, and starts the download anyway. That button is obviously not present on the KFHDX, so I guess Amazon decided that we really don't want to use 4G to download stuff... :-S
What files would need to be tweaked to enable this?
200+ views, no answers? Hm.
I hear crickets & is that a tumbleweed I see?

Hey there, it's really annoying and frustrating if so many people see your thread and don't answer! I know, cause I had some threads myself where i didn't get any response. So I am just stepping by to say hello and tell you that I have no idea how to help you
From what I understand though,it's an operator thing. What do the officials (your operator and Amazon) say about this?
