I hope someone can help me.
Is it possible to replace the "phone.apk" (system/app) with the *.apk from dailer one with root explorer? Only using DailerOne and love it.
When yes is it possible to update it with the android market?
best regards.
apk:
http://code.google.com/p/dialerone/d...3.apk&can=2&q=
Why replace? You can run the along side and set Dialer One as your default. I don't think i've seen the standard phone app in a while - though i still use the contacts part to it frequently.
I want to know if its possible to create a modified gmail that will automatically download pictures in email without having to click show pictures each time?
Get Launcher pro plus....the gmail widget does that very thing...plus the launcher itself is kickass...worth the few bucks
I have that app is great but I hate the fact the widget eats up battery the way it does
I use it and using one of the 1.5ghz kernals I'm getting about 9hours out of it....I just bought a charger and set of batteries off eBay and keep it at work and swap halfway through the day...works awesome for me...

I know there was a moddified gmail for the Incredible that had this built in. I loved it, but for some reason it wasn't as popular as I thought it would be and it wasn't included in many ROMs. I'd love for someone to mod it for our bolts, though. I don't use the gmail widget for LP+ so it's really no help to me

FYI, the reason for not showing pictures automatically in emails is that images in email are often hosted elsewhere, and spammers can detect when you download images in their emails and they then know that your email address is actually being used. So it's an anti-spam measure.
There's an apk for this in the Android Apps and Games forum up top. A quick search in that forum should find it.

Ok, just did it and works perfectly.
got the black themed apk here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11798123&postcount=217
and did the following
deleted gmail.apk in system/app using root explorer, (tap r/o to change to r/w if cannot delete)
copied gmail.apk from SDcard, pasted into system/app
Long tap onto gmail.apk in root explorer, tap on permissions and checked all unchecked permissions.
Rebooted and everything worked, and the black gmail is really nice
edit: Be sure to rename the APK you are using to gmail.apk

Hey all.
Some of us using custom roms have been looking for and asking about the HC google calendar, as it has a better appeal to some of us. I extracted the .apk from a xoom rom and all works great. So i figured I'd post it here for anyone else who wanted it.
All you need to do is place the .apk in system/app/ folder. (I used root explorer to paste it there.) Dont click install since it wont work, just reboot and it will show up in your app drawer. I renamed the old calendar to calendar.bak so its still there if i ever want it back. Hope you all enjoy.

I renamed it Calendar.apk
worked fine for me on task 5.2
Saw the app after reboot, opens and edit calendar entries. Although the Cal widget FCs.
Did change the name to only Calendar.apk, but did not even touch the permissions.
Thanks for sharing - hope we can get the widget to work.
works for me. i didnt rename it. i thought i needed too but apparently it works fine just as it is. but i did change the permission to rw- r-- r to match the original permission.
personally i prefer the monthly view from the TW version. but the weekly and daily view from the HC version.
works great for me... thanks
does anyone know the way to let my tasks show up on the calendar. it just show up the events

I didnt rename it or change permissions. All i did was in Root Explorer i made sure i was in r/w mode.
Not sure about tasks dont have the tab near me so can check. I use a task program called Tasks N Todos it syncs with google and works like a charm. I can even do recurring tasks and create folders.
The widget from the TW calendar stays but doesnt work. I wish i knew how to remove it, bugs me having in my list. There are widget apps for calendars, but i dont must have a widget anyways.
I considered a screen shot but realized i have too many private stuff in my calendar. If someone would care to make on and ill add it to the OP.
Glad its working for everyone didnt think it would be this much in demand.
Hey medic97 - which rom did you rip this file from? I think calendarprovider.apk needs to be replaced as well to fix the fc's.
This seems to be lacking the List (agenda) view my prior Calender.apk had that I found very handy. I have been running Task ROMs.
Edit: Calender.apk with List view option shows About: 3.2-UEKMM. I restored back to it and will keep it as I like that 'List' list.
For those of you running ViperRez and miss the Htc Locations;(Footprints) app from Venasaur, I have a quick solution to get it working again.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yxhovh7z35z9zbx/jRrZKD36JX
1. Download the zips and two folders in the link and place them on your phone
2. Flash the zips in recovery first
3. Take the files from system_app and copy them to /system/app using a file explorer(root explorer) and change the permissions to rw-r-r for all files
4. Take the files from system_lib and copy them to /system/lib using a file explorer(root explorer) and change the permissions to rw-r-r for all files
5. Reboot phone and enjoy the Htc locations app again
P.s. The reason I use Locations is because I live in a rural area without internet all the time and its nice to have offline gps maps when I go hiking and such without them expiring after 30 days like google maps, so if its not to much trouble could you put it in as an option in aroma Joelz? I'm sure others in rural areas would appreciate it as much as me. Plus your rom is the only sense 4.0 one that I've gotten Locations to work on.
can you get the HTC Twitter widget goin too?
I tried but I don't know which lib or framework files it needs to go along with the apk's, if someone else knows then I'm sure it would be just as easy as htc locations.
mine keeps telling me it cant connect to the server right after it tells me to download, retry gets the same result. Cancel leaves the program. Thos are my only options. Any ideas?

I've added "Footprints_system_files_signed.zip" to the dropbox folder, try flashing both of the zips in recovery first then replacing the system/app and system/lib files and be sure you fixed the permissions to read/write for user and read only for the other two (rw,r,r)
I added those but it still says can't connect to server for downloading location files (before the app launches). Any ideas? Maybe an alternate way to get them?

If I didn't work I have no clue as I'm not a really a developer or anything I just noticed another thread that got locations working on another phone so I just took the files needed for them to run from the team pkmn rom (since its a sense 4.0 rom for rezound that had locations working on it) put them in there right place on my phone rebooted and it worked for me. When I took the files from the other phone and tryed it didn't work and gave me the same problems your having. Silly question but your trying this in a rezound and not another phone right ? If you using a different phone you'll need to find a rom for that phone with a similar build that has locations working, pull the files from it and put them on your rom. Also some people say to install LocationsInstaller.apk but when I tryed to install it it wouldn't work so I just stuck it in system/app rebooted and the location app appeared in my launcher finally.
Also not sure if this has anything to do with it but when I was running xXx I downloaded the maps of the west and midwest to use offline, So I already had the offline data for the maps when I attempted to get this working. Also its off by about 50 feet but when I'm hiking the backcountry without internet I can live with 50 feet.
My advice would be to try and install the LocationsInstaller.apk and see if it actually installs and if it does reboot your phone and try to launch the app, if it launches it should tell you its out of date and needs to download files, let it do its thing reboot again and if all went well it should work. If it doesn't I'm out of ideas for now and maybe someone else (developer) can chime in with there thoughts.
I never intended for this to be for the community but I figured if it worked for me it might for others. If all else fails for you there's and app called "Maps (-)" in the market that appears to have offline maps and lots of customizing but to get full features you need "Maps (+)" which costs $2.99 and im a cheapskate lol. MapsWithMe also seems like a good alternative that is 100% free
Nice this got on the portal!
Hi,
I did exactly as it is in this instruction on my Desire HD with custom Jelly Android and have an error:
Unfortunately Location launcher has stopped.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks...

Sorry if am posting on the wrong thread, but pls does anybody have an alternative download link for the viperrez rom?..the link on the main thread is dead
From personal experience on a sense rom WiFi drops in and out regularly even though my router is fine and every other device connected to it is fine. It is annoying as it always happens to drop when I need data such as when I'm browsing Google+ or need to search something on Google Now. WiFi drops, 3G connects, 3G disconnects, WiFi connects, all of that creates about a 5 second wait time which is NOT negligible.
Anyway, I started reading up on what manages the WiFi connections in Android, and more specifically Sense because I don't get this issue whatsoever on CM10. I may have found the possible verdict as I successfully no longer get WiFi drops and it stays constantly connected to my access point.
What I found was that the default settings.apk from sense is what manages the WiFi connections so I decided to stick in a stock AOSP settings.apk file in there in its' stead to see if that helped. It did greatly help, and on top of that on all settings screens such as app info screens and app instalation screens I get the AOSP look that I love. It really does complete any 'sense-less' ROM.
So without further ado, I have attatched the stock settings.apk with a few mods to make it work on sense flawlessly. Please make your /system partition writeable and overwrite the sense settings.apk in /system/app/ with the one attatched. Please let me know if this works for you guys too. For reporting make sure to put your ROM version in.
Do the permissions need to be changed?

Works perfectly. Thank you.
Can someone please explain how to do this, including what app to use for the permission changes? I'm really not comfortable with file managing apps and switching out system files yet. But I really want to try this out, mostly to complete my vanilla android look and feel.

Maybe I'm just missing it, but i dont see option in About Phone to update PRL, Profile.
Im i blind?
Edit: just like AOSP roms, you can't update them. My mistake.

It doesnt have those options I'm afraid. As for the permissions, learn something and use google
Cool, nice job man. This is the first I've seen of the AOSP menus, very cool. I'm looking forward to CM10 even more now. I wasn't having any wifi issues, but I liked the sound of having a little touch of AOSP to hold me over until an official release is out.
I used ES file explorer on Viper4G (you may wanna make a nandroid first):
1. Launch ES, open menu, go into settings
2. Make sure Up To Root, Root Explorer and Mount File System are enabled
3. Browse to the download location of the apk in the OP
4. Copy the apk
5. Browse to /system/app
6. Paste the apk and confirm overwrite
7. Reboot phone

Interesting. I had the same Wi-Fi cycling issues on cm10 8/1 build as I did in sense roms... I'll have to give this a try...
Tried using this with MeanROM 2.9 and Nova Launcher. Settings menu wouldn't come up for me at all.

Thank you very much, I'm gonna try this later! I learn from trying things hands on, and this will help get me started.
I'm on Viper4G as well. De-sensed. I can't think of any bit of Sense that will be visible... Other than maybe the icons in the status bar. I'm sure those are theme-able to ICS look too... I'll have to look into that!

You bet...you can download AOSP status bar icons through the Venom hub and then apply them in the Venom tweaks menu. I personally prefer the stock icons though because they are a bit more crisp looking.
To those with wifi issues. If you have sense, go to wifi settings choose frequency then change to 2.4 ghz.

Hey Art2Fly, I would suggest you either make a new thread or change the title of this one... This is a pretty big deal outside of the WiFi issue! I am more excited about the AOSP styled settings menu! That's pretty significant, and I would imagine that all the devs making non-Sense ROMs will be baking this into their ROM. Nice job - I love the new look!
Premo - I totally agree on the ICS theme... Not quite polished enough for me yet. So close to pure AOSP without having AOSP... Haha. It's really impressive how much Sense they removed.

That's strange. Yeah, factory reset won't help because that clears the data and cache partitions only, but this modification is to the system partition. You could try downloading a Sense based rom (like Mean, Clean, Fresh, etc.), open up the zip file and pull the settings.apk out of there to replace the one you've got now...it should be the same as the one you had originally. Did you do a nandroid backup first?

First, I would like to thank Wolfeyes30 for sending me here. Thanks!
I'm visually impaired and this settings.apk is absolutely freaking fantastic! Thanks so much Art2Fly, this is really really sweet.
I can't comment on the impact on wifi yet, as I just installed at work.
Currently on MeanROM 2.8
4x4 Rosie 360 Landscape
Running deSensed .07
Pushed to /system/app using ES Esplorer
Renamed original settings.apk (added .bak) & saved for later use
Original .apk permissions were rw-r--r--
Set permissions on Art's settings.apk
Rebooted
Profited
Goes without saying...nand'd before this process started.
Thanks so much Wolf & Art!

this took care of my wifi disconnecting problems after screen off....downside is beats doesn't seem to work
edit: lack of beats might be due to my desensed viper rom
Ok I figured it out with the help of another member. Thanks!
