[Q] Deskclock on Atrix ? - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

Good morning,
I'm looking for a working deskclock.apk for my Atrix. I loved this stock app on my old Desire, and used to left it open during the night as a clock.
I really miss it on my Atrix, coz the screen always gets off when I leave the phone with the stock clock app. opened.
I tried Kaloer Clock but it ain't perfect. Either the screen gets off by itself, or the screen remains on, even if the app is not open.
I tried to extract the deskclock.apk from some Desire's ROMs but the installation failed..
Do you know any similar apps or is there a way to make it work on the Atrix ?

Is this the stock clock app from android or something specific to the sense rom? If stock, I used one I pulled from CM7 for the nexus one. It just installed like a regular apk.

I tried to install one that I get in Desire's CM7 that I've extracted but I have an error duringn the installation. Maybe I should extract the ROM with the appropriate tool Will try and let you know, thanks
edit : I've extracted a fresh downloaded CM7 ROM for Desire, copied the file Deskclock.apk located in /system/app and tried to install it on my Atrix, but after a short progress bar I'm stuck with an error "error occurred during kit analysis" (french translation).
I won't even try with the Desire stock app which obviously requires sense...
If someone knows a similar app...
re-edit : the application Alarm Clock Pro does exactly what I was looking for !

Gentle alarms good too, but no desk top clock.

[Q] Power control widget question?

A simple question, but I just can't seem to find the answer. I put the power control widget on my home screen. Now, how do I get back to its menu so I can add/remove functions? I tried throwing it out and then putting it back, but it just comes back up with the same 5 functions. Is there a way to clear the default? Thanks.
I am curious what the answer to that question is as well.
I don't think you can choose what you want in 2.1. (You can do it in 2.2)They just come in a set.
Correct me if I was wrong.
I went back and checked out my rooted MYT3G, I think you are right. Unless someone has figured out how to put the 2.2 power widget into a 2.1 rom. I think that would be pretty awesome. I miss that functionality on my Vibrant.
I think Power Widget is "Settings.apk" So try installing that. I know that GenieWidget and GoogleVoice work fine....

download from the thread or try getting the apk from CM6 ADDON (thats what i did)
Sweet, going to check that out now.

trying what ? to install settings.apk ?
^ dropping it in system/app caused constant reboots.
I had to boot into stock recovery, then go into clockwork and finally restore a nandroid.
I would be careful using the linked post above. I have already replaced some stock apps from cyanogen, this is the first that gave me any issue.

U always have to be carefull
I havent tried settings.apk, but I would just install it using file manager. Thats how I got clock, geniewidget, and google voice working. Used files from cm.
^ The power widget is a system app, you don't install, you just drop it in system/app. The News/Weather and Google Voice are just apps...
I renamed the original Settings.apk and Settings.odex and then dropped the new Settings.apk from a Cyanogen rom in to /system/app/.
No go, I ended up having to restore the original files back.
Oh well, I tried.
there's a power widget in the market (non-free) that has the same look as the standard power widget, but has more options and lets you customize it. i haven't used it, but it sounds like it would work for ya.
i just looked it up -- it's called 'Power Widget by BK Mobility'.
Thanks, I actually found that app this morning after I made the post here. Am liking it. It works very well.

New Dell Stage UI...

Anyone able to link or post a .apk for the latest Dell Stage UI launcher? I upgraded to 245, but it still has the old launcher. I'd really like to play with the newer one.
Thanks in advance for any help!

This should be intersting. I think the new Stage launcher is more than one apk. I know if you are using the latest Streakdroid mod you can load it. It will be cool if it is available for you
yea that would be awesome if someone could plz post up the new dell stage apk"s ............and or watever files we might need
New Stage UI .apk's can be found in StreakDroid 1.9.0 .zip file.
latest stage here
i pulled out from rom 345 ,lets see if it works
http://hotfile.com/dl/114223455/f830bb5/new_stage.rar.html
Thanks for the file..
thank you very much............. now lets see if they run.................................or better yet what would be the best way to replace the old stage? I'm on a rooted at&t 340 o.s with side loading enabled.....any suggestions or recommendations greatly appreciated..........(maybe root explorer or titanium backup)
your results may vary..
I installed these on my 347 streak, all seems to work ok simply installing over the existing stage versions (only had a problem with email, installed ok, but the widget will not show emails, if you tap on it it takes you to the configured account but only displays "tap here to setup an account" message while in home screen) also i could not get it to actually use the silent ringtone, again it accepts it but still makes the notification sound. anyway I like the newer versions of the stage ui. (also, the fb widget may not actually be updating the content shown on the home screen)
Cheers

thanks ,i'll try it
Application not installed .............i really dont want to uninstall original stage launcher for fear of complications
Not installed
Hi, I have the O2 UK latest version, not sure which build that is but I was unable to install any of the files. Error message says not installed.
I am rooted too so that should not be the problem.
Do I need a custom rom or a later one to be able to install these?
Thanks for the upload by the way. I *STILL* don't have the guts to jump and update to Steve's rom!
I got it working on my Streak.
I flashed 345, got my streak setup how I wanted it, and did a full backup.
then...
I flashed DJ_Steve's 1.9 ROM, with the option for the dell stage UI in the install.txt,
let it boot up and got it working.
I then reflashed the Dell 309 Recovery ROM, and re-flashed 345, and did a restore from my backup. Now I have the new stage UI. It's pretty slick.
I use it as my main, but I also have Zeam installed. If you default to the stage UI, you can set the fist slot in the menu, you can add the Zeam launcher. This way, I can switch UI's whenever I want.
It's really pretty slick the way I have it setup now.
Thanks to DJ_Steve (again)...

You need to use super manager app to move the apps to /system/app from data/app and it works great.

[Q] Get any TouchWiz-Style Launcher on VillainROM

Hi All,
as you may see, I'm new to XDA and even though I'm familiar with linux, I'm new to the whole Android thing. I successfully flashed VillainROM onto my SGA and noticed that I don't like the stock gingerbread launcher. So I tried to get any TouchWiz-Style launcher on my phone:
I tried the "TouchWiz Launcher for Gingerbread [V4]":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049501
I had to replace the "update-binary", but finally it doesn't match the screen size of the sga and moreover it always crashes when I'm trying to start any app.
I also tried the "Honeycomb" theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104335
Some icons and the general menu style changed, but the launcher didn't change - could that be because I couldn't figure out how to install that "minimal.zip"-file?
I somewhere grabbed "TW4_for_Tab - 182dpi.zip" of which I thought it was made for the sga, but it failed to install.
Besides, I tried some other TouchWiz (4) mods of which I can't find the reference anymore. Some of them didn't install (the well-known "error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip") even with a replaced "update-binary", so that wasn't a success either.
I figured out how to mount the unmodified 2.3.3 Samsung-ROM and could access the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk - but I didn't try to move it to my system folder because it isn't de-odexed - is it a problem to put a non-de-odexed apk (and it's .odex) onto a generally de-odexed phone?
Now I'd like to know if there is any easily usable TouchWiz I could use. Some enhanced version of TouchWiz with additional features would be nice, but I think I would also be satisfied with the unmodded Samsung TouchWiz.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] VideoPlayer.apk from TW update

Hi,
In my brief run-in with the TW update before going back to stock, the only thing I was really impressed with was the Video Player (not the red icon Google one, the white icon one).
I've tried ADB'ing the VideoPlayer.apk into /system/app following an unsuccessful attempt to install it normally and the icon is there but it FC's.
Has anyone been successful in installing this app on the Stock 3.1 ROM and if so, how?
I'm not sure how to check what possible dependencies it has.
Thanks,
Neil.
I don't think there's much hope for me. Using ADB logging it seems to raise an exception calling a maethod com.andoid.widget.SearchView.SetSearchViewAnimation, which as far I can see isn't listed in the Android SDK...

[Q] please help! sgh i757 apk's!

someone plese help me!
i've got a samsung galaxy s2 hd lte (sgh-i757m)...and i'm having problems finding much information for my phone on here...i know its older, but i just got it...i finally managed to root it using a galaxy s3 sgh i757 root....here is my problem...i'm sooooo confused!....when i rooted it i kept the stock rom that was on there... ics 4.0.4....and it had the dialer and the contacts apk that i love...the one you can slide left or right to call or text....since then i've updated to cyanogenmod 9, and love all the features of it, but it looks like it has the jellbean contacts apk...the real ugly white one that can't swipe left to right to text ect....I've found some downloads of the old contacts apk, but am having no luck installing them!....I've even tied restoring to the old stock rom, then copying the contacts apk into the downloads file, then re-load cm9 and move the contacts apk into the system/apps folder to replace the one's already in there but no luck.....this is soooooo frustrating!.....
.i have to admit i'm a bit of a noob...but both my stock rom and the cm9 show as 4.0.4, so should the contact apk not be transferable???? and why are they different in the first place!!!....I've enabled unknown sources to allow third party apps, and i've changed permissions in the apk to rw-r--r-- and replaced the contacts apk then reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot, and nothing....then i've tried to install apk.......and it shows installing, and the working blue bar, then just says "application not installed"...wtf???...i'm so frustrated!....is there something i'm missing with the owner/groups thing?....i just really want to make this happen....i've spent at least 12 hours on it already.....
please help!!!!!!
