How to back up widget on screen

Hi guys
I'm working on a them for our gs, with launcher pro plus
My theme use a lot of widget and complexe position in different screen (7)
Is it possible to create a back up for all the widget and their position and cook a rom that use all my work ?
the idea is: you flash my custom darky , and after the install and 1st boot, you have all widget in their right place in launcher pro
But A thing makes me perplexed .
When i go to launcher pro tools, at "back up homescreen ans sittings" there is a prevent message:
Due to limitation in the Android system, widget connot be backed up.

Damned
Anybody have a solution to this?
is it realy IMPOSSIBLE to make something like that with android and launcher pro?
I can believe that..

Here's a trick
When restoring with launcher pro do this :
Restore
Then when it says to restart launcher pro, reboot your phone instead
When it loads your widget's should be functional.
Try it out.

thanks for the tricks!
But is it possible to save all widget position and put them in a darky's rom , so everybody can have the same when flashing?

Well u can edit the default workspace xml or using the method described above make it so when flashing the update.zip of the rom, it places a preconfigured launcherpro backup into the /data/data folder of launcherpro and hence upon restart it should work.
^^ All theoretical

[Q]Clean & Fast Gingerbread ROM[Q]

Hi XDA,
So I surfed around the internet and found that there were no 100% Gingerbread non-modified, messed around with ROM's for the DHD. This is annoying because I recently changed from a Desire (Running Oxygen) to the Desire HD, and when it come's to custom ROM's, I like them as clean and as close to Stock as possible. I know I sound picky, but I suffer from OCD, and things like Cyanogen where the Menu has 5 apps in a row, and the UI is frankly 'rubbish*' annoy me.
So I was just wondering, is there anything I have missed? I would really like a close-to-stock ROM, just like Oxygen for the Desire on my DHD. If I could make the ROM myself, I would, but unfortunatly I'm not the sort of person that can do that, my computer skill's ain't so good. Let's put it this way, its Stock Gingerbread, or Stock Sense for me*.
I have tried Spike's Gingerbread and I didn't like it as it wasn't very fast and was bogged up with left-over Sense things.
*No offence to Cyanogen users, It's a personal opinion, not a description. The overall ROM is fast, and mostly bugfree, its just the UI that puts me off.
** I don't want a Sense ROM whatsoever, but if I can't find a stock ROM then I will go back to Stock Sense.

Uhhh, U know, that you can simply change the home-launcher to get another "GUI"?
I'm running latest CM7 nightly + LordMod 4.1 BFS Kernel + Zeam Launcher and everything is smooth as hell + the screen is "normal".

Well I know that I could simply download a launcher from the Market and set it? But then the ADW stuff would still show up in the Settings bit.

If you uninstall ADW, if you were on the Homescreen and Pressed Menu>Settings, ADW Settings would still appear on that list in Cyanogen even if uninstalled, am i correct?

I don't think so. It should be dead and gone.
To be sure, simply --> Install *insertrandomlanucherhere* --> switch to that launcher --> uninstall ADW.
I've never seen any remains from ADW.
To be 200% sure --> make use of Titanium Backups uninstall function.

Or, you could just take out the ADWLauncher.apk from the zip in the /system/app directory, and put whatever launcher apk you want.
I did just this with Launcher Pro and there is not a trace of ADW even on first boot...

ps : escuse me for my bad english

Hi there, you're excused for your English no problem! but I have to say I have no clue what you mean with this
'after passing through the deodex JVQ, I come back to the Odex basic lag and too much waiting in use, for lack of cons with hacks'
Can you give us some instructions on how to install?
-Do we run them from the recovery menu?
-Do we replace apk and/or .odex files manually?
I'm very interested cause I'd like to keep my JVQ odex as stock as possible but with your mods it would be perfect!

These are flashable with CMW3 and do seam to work and do not lag the browser which is great.

Great job.

Don't hesitate to do more mods to the stock rom

One comment, you said that the extended power menu doesn't work.
True.
What now also doesn't work anymore is Quickboot (from the market).
That doesn't do anything anymore after installing JVQ_Mod_Odex_SLD_V1.2.zip
After restoring JVQ_odex_Restore.zip it still doesn't work, also similar apps like AnReboot stopped working altogether.
I think the problem has to do with root permissions somehow being withdrawn or deleted cause all my apps that require root access have stopped working to. They start/run but don't execute their function (e.g. droidwall complains it no longer has root access).
Can you please look into this?
Update:
Fixing root permissions in cwm recovery solves the above problem but is persistant (also happened after a second install of the mods).
The Extended Power Menu options result in the GUI being restarted.

i lost root.

Reapplied it easily as I'm on tegrak kernel. Tried reinstalling superuser. Doesn't work.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I reinstalled root from within the Speedmod kernel, that worked without a problem (just took me some time to figure out loosing my root was the problem).
The good thing is I have the nice circle mod and some graphics tweaks plus the browser still rocks!
But I would consider this still a beta that needs some more work.

So If I understand it correctly, this fixes the browser on a deodexed JVQ rom, but it will cost you root and the extended power menu? Great work! I hope you can fix those issues, I don't know I can easily re-root my phone (running on darkcore 2.8) and I like the extended power menu too much to give it up
Again, great work. You've made a lot of people happy!

It doesn't fix the browser cause it ain't broken.
It also doesn't cost you root if you're on speedmod.
And I guess the extended menu is something being worked on so it looks good from my pov, at least I have a great stock slightly themed JVQ!

Okay, make it useable then. Calling the stock browser laggy on a deodexed JVQ is an understatement.

Great TW4 stef !
Just upload .zip in CWM and you have a new phone !
Thanks

The point I made was that the stock browser is not broken on the odexed version and we run these theme mods on the odexed stock JVQ so the browser is not fixed.

Which one shall I install TW4_JVQ_ODEX_V1 or JVQ_Mod_Odex_SLD_V1.2 or both since the contents of the two are different? Is there any bugs after installing this mod? Kindly please explain between the two version what's the difference. These are just my questions on this mod.

TW4 is the one that should contain touchwiz 4.
The other one contains the mods like green battery, etc...
I've just installed the TW4 mod on my odex JVQ running speedmod.
But the boot took 2 minutes, while it normaly takes about 25 seconds.
Will this happen on future boots too?
EDIT:
This doesn't contain TW4, just the icons.
It's still the old, ugly TW3.
EDIT2:
the restoration file doesn't convert the tw4 icons (contacts+messages) back to old school TW3.
Please fix this, cause i don't want to flash JVQ again.

So basically this doesn't make it like TW4 only the icons even if I install both mods. It will just look like TW4 but the way it works will still be TW3. Is this correct?

Not sure what you flashed but this is definately TW4
Transparent dock, semi transparent background in app drawer, page numbers at bottom in app drawer and homescreens and of course icons have been changed.
Works like a charm, thank you very much!

[Q] [HELP] How to replace default dialer on CM 7.2?

Hi this must be a noob question, but i need to know how to replace the default dialer .apk file and also the contacts .apk file to something else (exDialer and exContacts) in the ROM itself.

Try extracting the apks from the stock ROM and replace it. Report back.
Sent from a Time Lord, using his TARDIS.

Nope it didn't seem to work!
It said installation failed.

Just follow these steps...there is a chance they might not work but you are free to try it
1.Install the dialer app(dont move it to sd card)
2.Use a file manager app with root permissions enabled(eg- ES File Explorer) and go to the "phone memory" then "data/app" copy the app's apk to the sd card
3.Now uninstall the app ....the install was for getting the apk file
4.Rename the backed up apk as "Phone.apk" (case-sensitive)
5.Backup your CM7 dialer by going into phone memory "system/app"....it will be named "Phone.apk".....back it up somewhere in the SD card
6.Now just take the apk of the dialer you wanted and copy it in phone memory "system/app"
7.Finally change the permissions of the apk as follows
--->In ES File Explorer,after moving your desired dialer's apk,long press for menu
--->Then select Properties
--->In the properties window there will be a button labelled "Change" just beside permissions
--->Then Select the 1st two check boxes in User,1st in group and 1st in other and press ok
8.Reboot the phone and pray to God it works
9.To revert back,just put the original "Phone.apk" in "system/app" and reboot

What happens?
Sent from my Wildfire S using XDA

You're not supposed to remove the default dialler app. It's a part of the system framework and the results when you do try to remove it will be severe. I believe that the phone aspect of Android is integrated into the default dialer apk (Both in sense and in AOSP).
In any case, there is no need to remove the dialler apk.You just install an alternate dialler and set that as default. It's works as if the original dialler was never there.
You cannot bring over the sense dialler though since that depends on the entire sense framework.
Just install exDialer and set it as default.
You can push it to /system/app if you would like. Leave the original one as it though.

As soon as I replace the Phone.apk, it force closes to the homescreen. After I try restarting the device, it refuses to get past the Boot Screen Animation.

So you're saying there is no way I can natively replace the dialer to the exDialer in the Rom itself?
FYI: The Rom concerned here is HCMIUI 3.2 by Henry. Brilliant Rom otherwise!

Exactly, the default dialler cannot be replaced except perhaps by a full replacement say from the original cm7 rom or a themed version of your current dialler. You can only add a secondary dialler which will work in addition to the original one.
Check out the apk for the original Phone.apk
You'll find the components of the in-call screen.
cm7 themes for example retheme the framework which applies some modifications to the original in call screen.

^ How do i do that? Actually this is exactly what i want to do, a full replacement!

You can probably take the Phone.apk and replace your current one with (Make sure you set the permissions to 644) but it really won't make much of a difference. Instead, just install the cm7 Theme Chooser and change your theme. HC MIUI is basically a themed cm7 rom with a MIUI flavor, MIUI apps and stellar animation effects!
Would love to get those on other ROMS!
There's actually a fuller MIUI (gb) but it's only on beta (There are some usability issues in which the colours in some apps are FUBAR) and the MIUI 4 (ics) is only on alpha... On my phone, the Phone crashed on making a calling the MIUI 4...

Well i guess this is not possible the way i thought i would!
maybe someone can make a patch or something that will do this( maybe for other default apps also) just a thought?!

[Q] Calling the Theming experts - Help us, SOS!

This is a cry for help, from me and the other NOOBs out here, new to the theming world with no idea where to begin.
I started out with a problem. I hate the UI on my Note Edge Lollipop, as compared to the stock Lollipop ASOP UI. I started about trying to change the entire UI (icons, menus, fonts, notification drawer, app drawer etc) to stock AOSP Lollipop UI. I am not rooted.
I AM LOST. No idea which guide to follow. Don't want to change my launcher. I would prefer not to root, would prefer not to void my warranty, would just prefer to screw around as less as possible while getting as close to stock Lollipop as possible.
And I know there are others around me. So here I am, on behalf of the noobs, requesting all experts to provide a starting point from where to begin changing the UI - completely, with as little messing around as possible. Not just to AOSP but to any other UI that someone else might prefer. Please explain this to us like we are 3 year olds.
1) Options for those who are Not Rooted.
2) Options for those who are Rooted.
Ps. This will not work if only the experts contribute. Everyone here who has something to contribute please do!
Ps. Mods I looked and searched for days. I know there are guides out there but I wanted something Note Edge and Lollipop specific.

As my contribution. I love the work that this Dev has done for the Note 4. But don't know if this will work on our devices. Also Im not rooted yet.

The new TouchWiz on the S6 has themes. Pray that they port it over to us and any other features it has like they used to do before with those Experience updates during the S3 and Note 2 periods...

Mate, there isn't actually a lot you can do for theming without rooting your device. Most themes replace icons in the system files which is impossible to access without root or without being officially supported by Samsung...
The only real way to theme your un-rooted Note Edge is to change the launcher and theme that...

My wishes seem to have been answered within a week. The new Samsung themes app is all we need. Let's hope we get it fast.

Just don`t flash the zip (that makes your touchwiz home to FC). Just extract the zip and copy all content of zip`s system folder in your devices system folder as it is in zip, except Toucwiz home. Reboot and all done. Now you can change touchwiz themes as you like

I also opened the system file, did you realise you're installing Apex launcher onto your Note Edge? I already own the pro version of this. In the System>App folder it actually says Apex Pro meaning this could be considered as Warez, if it actually is the pro version...
