Swype restoration app - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

I had nothing to do with the creation of this app. I am just posting the link on here for others to make life a little easier. It force closed the first time I ran it, but it worked perfect the second time. Uber props to the developer!

If you have root explorer you can do it easily. If you do not have it, you should. Worth every penny if you don't understand adb yet.
Anyway, with root explorer, you just download a swype enabled rom. Open root explorer and navigate to the swype enabled rom on your sdcard. Make sure R/W access is checked at the top of root explorer. Locate the app directory and longclick on the swype apk. Select extract and it will extract the file to your system/extracted folder or something like that. I believe it tells you where it puts the file so keep an eye out. Now locate the library directory and find the swype library file and extract. At this point you just need to copy the files to your system app and library directories. When you have the files placed in their respective directories, navigate to the swype apk file and install it from within root explorer. Now your golden. Make sure to enable swypw in you keyboard settings.
Hope this is legible enough to help.

Anyone know how to delete these suckers?!

I'm trying to delete the Facebook and Flicker fields. I'd like to use root explorer if possible...TIA

Not too difficult, in root explorer go to system..app then delete. Make sure u mount as r/w.

I would assume one would have to be running a deodexed rom, then find a mod that did what u need
Greetings,
I'm also attempting to delete select apps.
I'm running on a rooted (Unrevoked 3.21 & Unrevoked-forever) stock ROM.
However, any attempt to delete an app while SU'd in Terminal-Emulator, returns
failed; read-only filesystem.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for all your time and consideration.
--Chris
The way I deleted these apps was the following: I have clockwork recovery running. So I ran that. Then in the recovery screen, You select partition menu and mount the /system. Next I ran cmd and opened the adb shell. The command to remove app is "rm /system/app/ + name of app" if you need more info, let me know.
Hope that helps.

I'm using it right now on the newest cm7 nightly, suits the rom just fine .
Find the correct .ogg file, using root explorer or any other file manager move the .ogg file to system/media/ui/ and overwrite the initial one. A reboot is needed for sounds to take effect.
U can also adb push "filename.ogg" system/media/ui
/system needs to be mounted 'rw'.
Good luck!

I hadn't done this on my G2 yet when I posted the youtube link, but I just did it and it took about 20-30 seconds to do it.
I've always found that SU File Manager was easier to do this, so people should try it out.
It overwrites the file, make sure you pressed the S in the top left corner. Then just reboot after you've done everything.
Also make sure that you rename the file and delete .zip at the end.

[Q] incRom 1.4 boot animation

So I'm not able to find a 'how to' on changing the boot animation, been running incRom for awhile now and figured I'd change things up a bit. Anyone know how or know a link to view how to change this? Thanks in advance
Do you have root explorer? If so you can copy and paste a new boot animation right in to the proper location. Probably system/customize/resource. Just rename or move your current one so you can still use it later on. I just made a pretty badass one recently. If you want I can post a flashable zip for you. Just let me know where its located and what clockwork recovery you have.

Ok need alil help on this one, I can do it through recovery but for the sake of learning to do this another way I'd like to try it through root explorer. I found the original boot animation listed under system/bin/ what do I need to do from there? Rename the original one and do I change permissions on that one and if so which ones do I check and uncheck?

Alright. So from root explorer scroll down to system. At the top it has mount ro and mount rw. You want to mount rw. Now find the original boot and rename it to VZW_bootanimation.zip.bak. Go back to the SD card through root explorer, long press and copy the new bootanimation. Now go back to system/bin and paste. Should work from there. Ive never had to set or fix permissions. Holla back.

Should be. It'll be VZW_droid.mp3. It might be android_audio.mp3 but that was before 2.2. Put it in the same folder as the bootanimation.

Custom transition animations!! (REQUIRES ROOT)

okay so i dont really like sense's transition animations so i started searching for some new ones and came up with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920024
decided to share it with the G2/DZ community cause i know some of you guys dont like sense transitions either
im using virtous unity, i dont see why it woudnt work on any other rom
REMEMBER TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE DOING THIS just so if you want the original transitions back or if anything goes wrong or if your rom is not compatible etc
i recommend using the metamorph method, its way easier
for those who arent familiar with metamorph u can dl it for free on the market and do the following:
1-download the transition youd like from here :
https://bitly.com/bundles/haxzamatic/1?preview=1
2-place the zip in the root of the sdcard (or any other folder you want)
3-open metamorph and select Unzip/Extract new theme
4-go to the root of your sdcard or the folder you made and select the zip
metamorph will extract the zip and a new window will pop up select close (pretty much your only choice)
5- tap where it says SubTheme: framework-res.apk
Located in /system/framework/
(Requires Reboot)
your device will reboot and there you have it new transitions!!
im using the fold ones myself and they look amazing!!
awesme.thanks
nice work. thanks

if you restored your backup its like if you never tried this on your phone, so its something you did before or it can be due to the ROM youre using

[Q] Wildfire CM7 Fingerprint needed

Hi All,
Have made a bit of a rookie mistake - have changed my wildfire CM7 fingerprint for market patching, but I think this is screwing with my skyFire optimisation routine as it thinks I have a Nexus 1 now.
Needless to say I forgot to back it up first and now do not have the original values from before.
Can someone supply the contents of thier wildfire system/default.prop file so I can restore it at all?
CyanogenMod-7.0.3-buzz
Thanks

Thanks Jonas, simple when you think really Much appreciated though.
Turns out it wasnt that screwing with skyfire anyway - I'm just not destined to be able to get iPlayer on wildfire at all. Period.
Ok. For unpatching the market I think you need system/build.prop and system/apps/vending.apk. And there is also another file which I don't remember correctly. here attaching some files of nightly 115. I think the market unpatching values should be same with stable 7.0.3
Just edit the values . but this time make a backup of your files. if anything goes wrong , mount the system via recovery and push your backed up files from adb. remember the permissions should be. rw-r-r.
And clear data and cache for market and Google services framework before and after doing this.
As as already suggested, you can have those files from your rom zip file which will be perfect if you had it.
