[Q] Themeing Market Apps on DK28 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone had success themeing Market apps (just changing png files) with DK28? I have done it numerous times on DI18 with no problem. On DK28 the md5sum in changing and all apps are deleted off the handset. Anyone figure a technique around this?
This is directly a theming question, hence posted in the theme thread, if that's not cool report it to your mod no need in 50 post unless 50 post deal with theming market apps.

I've been able to theme market apps, XDA for one, and a few others I messed with all seemed ok to me, though I didn't keep them

Hit me on gtalk you might be able to shed some insight if you dont mind

i have absolutely no experience actually doing so but from what i have read, you can theme a market app but you have to put it in /system/app due to what you mentioned, i guess market apps all check their own md5 and if its different it bombs.

Thanks. I actually got it straight. I chose not to use the system folder because we dont need to hog the space if its not needed. The trick was to re sign the app, put it on the sd card, delete the app from the phone, and install via astro. Works as intended and pushed most of them to sd card after!

thats actually really fricken great! hadnt heard that solution but yes, you obvioulsy dont want to hog /system like that. good to know

[Q] Anyone know where the Sprint ID packs are installed?

I was avoiding sprint id but broke down and tried it out. It was pretty nice for about 30 minutes but then I got bored of it. But I do like some of the wallpapers and ringtones. I would like to pull just what I want out and get rid of sprint id again. Does anyone know where the files are stored? I dug around a bit but have not been able to find them.
Edit: And yes I know I can uninstall all parts of the packs that I don't like but I still prefer to have it clean without using sprint id.
Well you could delete system/app/W_Installer with a root explorer type tool. However, that doesn't get rid of the files. If you made a system backup prior to installing Sprint ID then you could delete the appropriate files that aren't backed up (new files)
Having gone through this when I was testing the Bonsai 4.0.0 beta, the easiest solution is to odin.
Just like top nurse said if you open up the rom before you flash it and delete the apk that top nurse gave out it wont install sprint id.

the only way to fully get rid of the awsome sprint id is to revert back to another rom such as ec05 or di18. Otherwise the Applications manager will not let you uninstall the sprint id. After all Sprint worked really hard to port it to this device and if sprint deems it as the defacto standard, then it is. Sprint overlords, will not be pleased if you remove it... . they know who uses it and who does not, just like att and how they can tell who tethers with rooted devices. I would not be surprised if att either sends out notices next to rooted users that says you are rooted and in violation of your contract, please purchase a new phone that is fully locked down including the bootloader and all.... for full price....
Thank you for the answers but I know what to do to get rid of it. I am asking where the wallpapers and ringtones are stored in the file system. I am looking to pull out the ones I want before I remove it.

I was just poking around looking for this but haven't found it yet. I'd also like to grab a couple of the apps if anyone has figured that out.
OK I finally got around to looking for these. Just in case anyone else wants to know.

Ring-tones /data/data/com.sprint.w.installer/files/

Thanks for the heads up, added them next to the list items
I've gotten a couple PM's that people love the ROM, and I plan on making a EC07-Nuckin-2 package.
My thoughts thus far:
New Kernel (imnuts)
Scribble boot animation
Zeam Launcher to replace TouchWiz (Zeam is super memory efficient)
Dolphin Mini to replace Browser
Better instructions, including a TAR to use with Odin
Link to alternate framework-res.apk (trailblazer's) to restore the buttons
What do you think would make this ROM cooler/faster/awesome...er?
Any eta for the new ROM I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and flash the first one or wait for 2

I flashed this rom a few days ago, and so far it is great. I love how clean and fast it is.
The only problems I have had are some issues it apps FCing. I use these apps daily and was wondering if anybody has had any luck fixing FC problems? I would hate to do it, but if I can't get these apps working right I might have to reflash DL17 again.
Here are some of the apps I have come across so far that FC every time:
-Wells Fargo Mobile
-Stock Android Browser
-Movies
I am sure there are other, but these are the only ones that I have found so far that I use on a regular basis. If anybody has any insight on this it would be great.

I had the same problem with Browser, I just switched to Dolphin Mini HD but I understand you can't really do that with the other 2 apps you listed. Is it just my ROM you've had this issue with or all EC03 and EC07 ROMs?
I've had the same issue. It's been with all versions of ec07 though. some ec03 as well (if memory serves me correctly) I swapped to dolphin browser and haven't had any trouble.

Can I assume you wiped dalvik on install? If so, I'd start by clearing data on each of the affected apps in settings/applications/manage applications. And if that fails, try deleting the apps themselves, along with any data stored on SD card and reinstall fresh. Generally fc issues are due to the way the app interacts with the system.

Yeah, the browser is not that big of a deal, I switched to Opera and like it alot better than stock anyway. I ran the clean EC07 first before I switched to your rom, but I only had it on for a couple of hours so I don't know if that one had the FC issues as well. I don't think there is enough difference between the two to cause these issues. Yours is just more debloated.

Yes, I wiped cache, dalvik cache, and did factory reset/wipe data before I installed the rom, then wiped the caches again after just to be sure. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling all the apps I was having problems with. I will try clearing the app data and removing data from SD card tonight and let yall know if anything changes.
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------
Ok, tried clearing data, uninstalling, wiping SD card, and reinstalling apps. Didn't work, they are all three still FCing. I think it has something to do with them accessing network/data. Browser doesn't FC until I try to load a page, Wells Fargo doesn't FC until I try to log in, and Flixter movies FCs as soon as I open it. All thee times they are trying to use network. Doesn't matter if I am on 3G for Wifi.
Just a thought, I don't know if that actually has anything to do with it.
One more thought, is it possible to have your phone hooked up to ADB in usb debugging while running an app to see why it is getting a force close?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using Tapatalk
I'm pretty sure you can use the command logcat for that

Yes. As circa said, logcat
Commands are as follows
Adb shell
(it will start daemon. Once that is done, you will get a hashtag)
Logcat
(wait for it to scroll, then after it settles down, start the affected app)

I worked on this for a wee bit last night. Seems I will have to do something more than grab the apk and odex files and stick them in the system/app folder. Also, both roms are squeezing their limit on system space. Perhaps a reason why they are not included. I killed tye loggers and widgets and made room, threw the files in and cooked, but when it came out they aren't showing on the menu. Perhaps its a permission problem; it got late quick last night/this morning. I will take anothet look.

Here are the files (apk & odex) pulled from my Tmobile US.

I put them in a CWM flashable file. Hope they work for you.
Do not forget to clear your Dalvik and cache files.
thanks
The thought occurred to me last night... Why don't I steal the system files from the euro [newest] build, replace what I must [see xda article on 6 easy steps to porting sense], and recook and voila only really porting from gsm to cdma not phone models; so, it shouldn't be too buggy. Until I get it built though, this flash might work. Can't test today but will later.

Make sure you place the apk in the system/apps using something like root explorer.
no problems here, just installed it as a market update, no pushing req'ed.
its interesting to me that some are getting issues with app installs on this ver?
it Does seem to break a feature or two with TB (from what ppl are saying, out there, on the internets), the dev has been alerted, and I would expect an update soon. as far as Amazon... idk
worked flawlessly for me, but then again, I don't use Amazon, or TB to uninstall appz.

[Q] stupid question of the day, Remove google apps?

i like the factory Samsung roms after all the bloat has been removed.
but i like the aokp roms because i don't need the Google apps installed. (even more bloat IMHO)
is it possible to remove goggle apps from the Samsung base and still keep stability??
Depends on the app. If you mean removing the entire framework i would not suggest it. But if you just mean google books and stuff like that then you can just freeze it with TiBU
I would like to remove as much as possible. Google play Google services Google sync Google maps Google everything etc.
If I could find a comprehensive list that explained what every Google app was in the rom I would start freezing things and see what happens. But with out that list I'll have force closes everywhere and I'll never be sure what may be causing it.
Can be done....
Look on the CM website and search for "barebones" lists of application removal..
Basically CM did the leg work for us in determining to what level a device can be stripped and still function...
A few years ago I was running CM builds on the Aria at just over 56 meg.. and they were fast...
I used winrar to drop out the APKs as the rom didn't need resigning after the removal...but with our current recoveries and the ability to ignore signature verification at the recovery level anyway...I'm sure several other methods will work...
I briefly browsed through the barebones lists before typing this...and noticed that several areas are under construction...but lists do exist to remove complete packages up to the 10.1 level...
Just keep a good nandroid backup handy...
Happy application dumping....g
