Okay I have developed a couple AOSP ROMs and would like to do a sense ROM. Thats not my issue here, what's the problem. I decided to theme the HTC_IME.apk but when I do it does not show up the device its like it not installed. This is bothering me because I've never had this happen and the apk is compiling without errors. The base of my project in 3.70.651. any ideas and help would be great.
Are you wiping the dalvik-cache? You'll need to do that anyone you change the system files.

Thats one thing that I haven't tried yet, would that really make the ime apk not show up like it was never installed? I never had to do that with any of my aosp ROMs.
Thanks for the reply.
I would take his advice, he has some skills

Does anyone have launcher 2 as a .zip or .apk that I can install onto a ROM (Sense or AOSP) and run it like ti was there by default?

AOSP only, not Sense. You can of course try it though, most likely will fail or cause FCs to the point where you can't do anything LOL.
It worked fine on Virtuous, however the phone button gave me
"this application isnt currently installed on your phone"
Which is understandable because of the HTC dialer, thanks for the upload though.
Ya sorry I should of specified

Hey y'all! I did a whole guide of using the Vanilla MMS app on HTC Sense, it was a SUCCESS! Soo now, I was wondering if someone could see if the DIALER on the Vanilla ROM can work with the HTC Sense ROM.
So basically, I am needing someone to Extract the Vanilla (or other ROM) Dialer and put it on the Sense UI ROM. Somehow, my phone has different settings, so I can do this myself.
If you find out, please provide the APK and a guide if possible!!
This should be fairly easy and possible. Should be just like porting the MMS on Vanilla to HTC Sense! I need testers! Thanks guys!
Hope you like my guide on Vanilla MMS on HTC Sense! thanks all!
PS. Is it possible for Vanilla Gallery to work on Sense UI? I will be testing this tomorrow, also, I will keep this thread updated! Thanks!!
Also, if anyone has CM and whatever kinds of ROMS out there, If they can post their Dialer.apk's or apk's related to dialers/phones that would be AWESOME thanks!
Anyone know how to BOLD the Title? I kinda FAILED at it! hhahah thanks guys!
I will test anything you want i HATE the sense dialer!

I can't remember now, but a while ago I used the contacts.apk and phone.apk from an aosp rom (don't remember which one) on a sense rom (not sure which one either, maybe it was Tainted Vanilla).
You can try ripping those apks from and eclair (not froyo) rom and seeing if they work, or download the old Tainted Vanilla rom (maybe even one of the new ones) and see which dialer they use.

maybe rip the contacts.apk and phone.apk from CyanogenMod-6.1 for Vision :: V6.1.0-RC2 and give that a shot.
btw: you can download the rom, un-zip them and navigate to system/app/ and grab the apk's from there, That is what I did for the vanilla Mms.apk
thanks Wheeliest! You never disappoint me! hah
Also, if anyone has CM and whatever kinds of ROMS out there, If they can post their Dialer.apk's or apk's related to dialers/phones that would be AWESOME thanks!

Cool! thanks for the support guys! A little mistake I did.. i didn't copy the Contacts.apk haha soo if someone can copy that and maybe the lib file like shortlived says! thanks guys! lets make this into a reality!
edited because i found my mistake....also any luck?
Here is what ive gotten to work so far... I found a replacement dialer here http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/59459-replace-htc-dialer-dialerone-vanilla-clone.html
Download that file there then take these steps
1. change file name to com.android.htcdialer.apk
2. get your phone into recovery and mount the /system
3. adb push com.android.htcdialer.apk /system/app/
4. restart phone and your good to go.
be warned this does not get you the stock dialer. This is a clone type app which does look very similar but it has a few bugs. the main ones being it still uses the htc contacts app to add info and whatnot. i will play with this some more and see if i can't get it to work better by changing over the contacts.apk however I see a LOT of things all tied together with sense so i'm not sure how much more we will be able to do. it might be eaiser to just make a better clock/weather/animations and drop the sense ui all together.
My god.
["b] initiates the bold and ["/b] terminates it. (get rid of the " when ur acutally doing it)

Maybe Im an idiot and sorry if this has been answered already I searched and could not find it. Ok so here is my noob ?? I am trying to cook up my very first Supersonic Evo rom using DRIXDAS Htc Android Kitchen, I am also trying to theme it at the same time. Now I have found and created some pretty nice stuff in both the frameworkres.apk and the htcres.apk, I think I have themed it pretty well, that being said I have been trying to add some already themed clocks and friendstream widgets to my rom. This is where the problem comes in, see i know that the themed clocks and friendstream widgets work on my phone because I have flashed the flashable .zip, after rom is up and running of course. However when i try to just add the .apk to the system app folder (either clock or friendstream.apk) then cook the rom with them already in, it doesnt work. They dont even show up. Now here is what I have tried. I have signed them using signAPK, I have also tried signing them with the kitchen, and of course I always zipalign all my .apks before cooking the rom. The process seems to go through well both signing and zipaligning, but when the rom boots niether are there. If I could get any input on this I would appreciate it. Thank you to all the Devs on here who have insprired me to try this, all being said I am having fun and learning A LOT!! Also if anyone could give me any pointers at all, like how to add a reboot option to the power settings of my rom that would also be helpful. Any tips that anybody can think of that I wouldnt know about would be awesome. Again thanx to Devs and anybody on this website for there imformative info on rom developing and theming!
Try just swapping the apks no signing or kitchen see if that works for you!
I presume you are using ubuntu so just drag and drop
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanx but I tried that already, no go the niether the themed clock nor the themed friendstream were in the rom after it was cooked and installed. And I am using windows 7 so I have to use cygwin, only other alternative would be to set up ubuntu vm, wich I can do if anyone thinks that would make a difference.
Thanx anyways.
BTW Just as a side note I love the Kings UNleashed Ultra R2 rom, very nice work indeed sir!
Hey guys!
i am very new at this but i have ported a build from fascinate over to our continuum and am looking for some devs to jump in and start helping me fix stuff.
this is very early but you can grab my first port here.
it is very much not ready for every day use.
Please flash if you are going to help me fix this for everyone
Code:
[B]
Rap sheet of things to fix will be here:
Screen placement overlaps the ticket screen, i was thinking we could
somehow code this thing so it will ignore the ticker
screen and only use the top.
Also we need to enable the soft keys.
Keyboard is non existent.
phone is not functional yet.[/B]
Well since this phone is virtually Unbrickable.... why not try our best.

thanks for the well wishes... anyone know where to go in the rom to edit the screen dimentions yknow so it uses the top screen only? i think this is kernal
yea the problem with ports on the continuum is u cant flash mtd files in recovery a friend and i tried to port the fascinate miui 2.3.2 rom to the continuum we got everything resised and made it flashable but it just said installation aborted. the fascinate can flash mtd files straight from recovery and the continuum can not.
i still have all the files for miui if someone wants them pm me the problem is converting it to a .tar file so we can install via odin.

mtd files? what's those for? the above build was ported from a fascinate rom. very asop
most roms use mtd sum to install everything im not going to go into detail about everything because i would just sound like an idiot lol.

sure, gimme a few and i'll update post 1, last night late i posted it with minimal info then went to bed...
alright here goes nothin im going to see what happens lol
The demensions seem to be within the framework, or at least the call to the kernel for the screen size..
So porting it is pointless, because you'll have to modify the framework back to the continuum's which would defeat the point...
As far as I think/know
That is actually why I stopped
But, feel free to prove/show me up

it does boot but i couldnt even get to settings and about phone to tell what it was and he still hasnt updated the op yet.
Yeah, i know it boots, haha.. I did this like two months ago
But the screen isn't divided properly for the ticker/softkeys... And won't be unless you can find the right part to edit
What language are we talking about? If it's Java I'm happy to help.

From what I have seen, in other posts about other phones, the screen size is written into the kernel. So, to do this, we need the source code for the kernel.
joshkoss: Great effort, but to do any serious mods, we must have the kernel source code. Without that, there is no way to compile the fixes/changes into the kernel. I have been able to use modprobe to do a few things, but, generally, the modules must be compiled against the source code of the kernel to work properly.
If someone can get us the kernel source code, we will be golden... Up until then, porting anything is not going to be fun.
If one was REALLY interested in doing this, one would take the generic Gingerbread kernel and ROM and work a build from the ground up that way. Especially since I don't think Samsung, nor Verizon will be handing out the kernel source code.
There is an off chance that Samsung might give the Continuum kernel source code to a developer AFTER Verizon sunsets this phone... (It's a very remote chance...)
Verizon gave me this number for the Samsung Mobile Helpline: (888) 987-4357. I haven't called them yet, but if enough of us call, someone MIGHT be able to knock something loose... Who knows. Let me know if I can help... This phone is my only phone, so I can't go flashing it every night to try things, but, over the weekend, I can try things.
Ciao!
I agree...collectively we should be capable of anything...even gettn sammy source...sumhow
sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
I for one think y'all can do anything. Y'all have already done so much and I really think y'all are on to something huge!
Put a thread on cyanogen.com asking for assistance with this topic. What do you guys think of doing a donation pool to get a build working on our device?
I am interested in making a custom Rom but don't know where to start if anyone could help push me in the right direction I would really appreciate it thank you....

If you don't know where to start, don't bother lol. I looked into it as well. The android kitchen doesn't do anything expect add busybox root deodex and stuff. It doesn't turn you into a dev overnight lol. I just decided to enjoy what other devs have made

Porting a rom is a whole different story than getting an RUU for the evo 4g and starting there.

Google is your friend. There's a lot out there.
I myself developed ROMs for myself. It really depends what you are looking to do. You can always modify a stock ROM or Port another ROM. they all require a lot of work, but they are a lot of flashable tweaks that you can just drop into you ROM and have the experience. You don't have to write your own code. Not too many ROM dev even write codes. They just modify and edit. Good Luck and always try Google.
