How do I get Nascar APP on SyndicateROM Frozen

I seem to either be one of the very few that wants the NASCAR app on my phone or just not be able to find out how to get it.
I recently got SyndicateROM Frozen working on my phone and the only stock app that I would like back is the NASCAR one. I've tried downloading the .apk file and installing it but I keep getting an error saying NASCAR is only available for Sprint and Nextel users. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you want that app try looking into one of the stock roms zip files and pulling that app out of it and placing it onto the sdcard on your phone and then install using my file or astro

Exactly just search for the apk and install it with astro or root explorer. A good.place to look is in a stock rom file under system/app

Hmm... I did something simular to that last night and got it installed, but it is still telling me that it is only for Sprint or Nextel users and won't let me run it on the rooted phone.

Had similar issue on moment
A lot of the custom roms change the carrier name to the name of there rom instead of sprint. So the program thinks you are on another carrier other then sprint, in order to fix that you need to change the carrier name back to sprint. I think it was in the frameworkres file if i can remember correctly.

That coule be a good possibility as well. I guess I would have to do a trial and error with that seeing as I cannot post anything in the op for the rom yet.
Though there isn't that many files in the in the frameworks folder but none of them named Syndicate or somehting simular to know what to change.

Hmm after going into the res folder I do not see anything named values and then strings.xml. Also would the name of strings.xml need to be changed or is there something inside of it that would need changed. Then a complete reflash I'm assuming.
Thank you.

You have to decompile the framework to get that folder. Just follow my guide on changing the sprint branding I posted some tome ago

I'm probably doing it wrong or something but I get that file open but do not see a folder names values. I see one name res but not a values inside of that folder. I found that post you were talking about and there was a guy on there that you said was needing to do the same thing I'm wanting to do but he also didn't reply with a follow up on it which didn't help. I've got all this flashing and stuff figured out for the most part but all this in depth stuff with the files I'm pretty dumb with.

You need to decompile the apk with apkmanager or apktool. extracting the apk ain't decompiling it

Lol I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I think Rom Manager isn't connecting to my phone or something. Wonder why none of the devs don't incorporate this into the original rom so us little folks can put stuff back on that we like.

Looking for this as well... I had a NASCAR update zip for the DK28 TrInItY rom but my computer crashed after my ODIN EC05 fiasco and I lost it...your not the only one with the need for some speed

You need to get it working...they got in car camera live views now.

?
I've searched and read so much my eyes are bleeding.
Did this get fixed? If so can some one point me in the right direction? Please.

I need to make the sprint fix for bloat apps

Anyone having download/upload animation problems with gingerbread?

Does anyone know how I can fix the animation for downloading and uploading?

Or know what file/jar I need to edit to get it to work?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

That's usually within the framework-res.apk. Without knowing what ROM or anything your using, nobody can really help you.

Its a rooted stock ota.

Update: The installing side animation works but the downloading side doesnt. Ive tried looking at it after decompiling it and I still cant see anything wrong, im just not sure what to look for.

It's not just you... I'm using MikG's rom and having the same issue.
I verified the data in stat_sys_download.xml and stat_sys_upload.xml and everything is fine.
Also like you, the animation seems to stay on anim0 the entire download, but will suddenly animate when at the 'install' phase of something.
For Reference, the files TYPICALLY are in the framework-res file. At least they were in Froyo and the files seem to still be there... maybe they are no longer used and there's an alternate xml controling things?

I'm assuming so, just don't know where to look.

[Q] Anyone able to change bootanimation in XPLOD mini?

Hello, I have been able to change on every other ROM i have used, but unable to here. Tried pushing using adb, tried using root explorer, and as of just now, I have reloaded the rom with the new bootanimation in it. Sad to say, I looked at the one that was preloaded in the rom, and that isnt even the bootanimation that shows. Ughhh, just getting frustrated, hope someone else knows. And yes, I even tried renaming it sanim.zip.

Boot animations are handled differently on ICS. Instead of bootanimation.zip it uses another format (I tried to look it up but I'm currently running AOKP which uses another format). I myself haven't seen any way to change it yet.
Sorry!

Yeah, I figured that much out. I was hoping I was wrong in my searches, but handled by a .qmg file. I just don't know how to edit to point in the right direction or even know how to read one yet. I was hoping someone out there could point me in the right direction. I have found a forum which explains how it is handled, just doesnt tell me how to read/edit the file. Still searching......

Okay, so an update is required here. Aftery research, all things point to samsung changing to bootani.qmg during froyo rollout. I can find several other threads with .qmg files in them for boot, but nothing with custom boots due to the .qmg software being too mich $$$$. Will keep this ipdated as much as I can. Seems that there is a hex editor that can read them??? But I am at work, so cant try until tonight.
EDIT: This software appears to be unobtainable. You can look at the .qmg file via hex editor, but after reading all day long, these types of files are a waste of time to try and change, and have been a dead topic here on xda for quite some time. It boils down to the kernel whether it will support a different boot animation or not. So.... Now you know how much a dev has to work in order to make us all happy, because believe me, kernels are not easy, nor creating a custom rom in order to match and flow smoothly with it.
MOD: Close this thread if deemed necessary, was just hoping for a good answer, finally found it myself...

[REQ] Document viewer that came with the Gnex

Hello everyone, does anyone have a backup or a cwm Flashable zip for the default pdf, doc, etc etc viewer? It sucks how some roms have it and some don't. Wish the devs would make a separate Flashable zip for those who still want a it.
Thanks in advance!

Here. ThinkFree actually provides the app to view documents. Try to install this like a regular APK, maybe it will work, I don't know. If that doesn't work try copying it into /system/app and set permissions to -rw-r--r--.

Thanks a lot bro! I actually searched all over the place and was not able to find it. Don't tell me it's on the play store... I figured that was the old one and didn't bother downloading it

I'm currently on AOKP, as my sig shows, and I just looked for it in my /system/app and copied it out. You're welcome!

I Need Flashable Fonts Please!

I was wondering if there are some flashable fonts for this phone. I have some that I used on my old Evo 3D. Could they be used or do they need to be set up especially for this device?

Download the font(s) you want, push them to /system/fonts, rename them using the names of the built-in fonts you want to replace, and reboot.

Thats what I thought, I used it, renamed the file and copied and replaced the file in "Fonts" and it seemed to work. So I went to Rom Tool box to install it, rebooted and Nadda. Do I need to be on a custom Rom? I am Rooted and Unlocked on ZVB.

Ok, I got it finally. On the stock ZVB Rom under Display/Fonts, there are only certain ones available to use even though there are a lot more in the Fonts folder under System. So, I had to pick the ones in that list to replace. A small catch is that if there is a name of a font there, such as "HYCoffee" in the Fonts folder there are as follows: HYCoffee_Bold.ttf and HYCoffee_Regular.ttf. You have to replace both if you want it to look right. Just so happens I picked Black Chancery folder and it had bold and regular in it so I replaced the other ones accordingly. As I was instructed to do earlier in this thread I just renamed mine to the ones I wanted to write over, copy and paste, then went to the Display settings and picked HYCoffee and Whalla!! Looks Reeeaaal Gooood Too
THANKS FOR EVERYONES INPUT!

I haven't used a stock-based ROM in ages, so there are a few minor differences (I don't have a Display > Fonts for instance), but I'm glad you got it figured out!

I usually prefer custom Roms but other than Lifeless, they all seem a little under developed yet. When more of the bugs get ironed out I'll install one. I had a couple already with this new ZVB and I just wasn't happy. Today I downloaded a WiFi Hotspot App but I couldn't get it to work so I'm going to try and figure that out today. If I was on a ZVB custom Rom I wouldn't be having any connectivity problems I don't think but I''m going to try and work with this stock one for a while.

Again, it's been a while, but if I recall correctly there was only 1 tethering app that I could ever get to work right on stock. I think it was just called "Wifi Tether" (had a yellow icon), and only an older version seemed to work properly. Look around in the Lifeless thread, I know it was posted in there somewhere, along with how to adjust the settings to get it working.

Yeah, I finally found it after searching all day and downloading countless wifi apps. Its WiFi Tether by TrevE Mod. You have to use his settings though. Thanks for your input. :good:

If you're rooted, you can just use Font Installer app. I have been using it for years. Its free and works well with all ROMs and devices - at least in my experience. I add it to all my ROM builds and it hasn't caused an issue yet. It comes with a decent selection of installed fonts to choose from, and you can also download fonts to your device and access the font file through the app. It will show you what they look like and install them. But, be forewarned, some fonts don't play nice and will cause a bootloop. In my experience, the really fancy and 'thicker' looking fonts usually bork due to size issues.
