Swype restoration app

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.

Desire Z/HD Sense Skins and Notification Bars [UPDATED] Gingerbread themes

PLEASE READ FULL POST FOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Hey guys found this while looking through the Desire Z side. I'm running Virtuous 0.7.1 on my G2 and installed most all of them and they all work. Just thought I would post them here in case people haven't found this already. See post #10 just below for some trial and errors on my part that may benefit you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801928 See this link for Themes and also see post #6 for some custom notification bars.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9526289&postcount=249 See this link for an even more customized notification bar with great battery icon. These files must be flashed via clockworkmod.

1-Have a T-Mobile G2
2-Your G2 is perm rooted and S-OFF. SEE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833965
3-You have clockworkmod recovery flashed. SEE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834731
4-You have a custom SENSE based Rom flashed on your G2, be it Virtuous, eVil D's Desire HD, MoDaCo,VillianRom. I do NOT think that this will work with eVil's My Touch 4g rom because I believe it uses different framework. SEE Virtuous: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837042, eVils http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835687, MoDaCo:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837389, VillianRom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855560

3-Once in clockworkmod recovery go down to backup and restore and push in trackpad and select bakup.CYA
4-Press power button to get back to first clockwork screen and move down to "Install zip from sdcard"
5-The move down to "Choose zip from sdcard" and then find your downloaded Theme/Icon set. Once highlighted press in track pad.
6-Move down to"Yes-install(yourfilegoeshere)
7-Once done installing press power button to get back to main screen and select reboot phone.
8-ENJOY!
STEPS-4 sopL87 Themes
1-Donload desire theme/skin from links above.
2- Have Astro File Manager installed from the Market Place. It's free and a handy app anyways.
3- Navigate to your downloaded theme and select it and a box/menu will appear and you will want to selecte open app manager.
4- Select install app- You may be asked to change a settings for installing from unknown sources. But you'll be fine cause you did a NANDROID backup right!
5- Once installed go to you HTC Sense Skin Picker and apply your newly installed theme
6- Enjoy!
Also I take no credit for any of this work, just wanted to post it in a new area for more eyes to see and use some of this great work.
Thanks to sopL87,vibez icematrix for making these and all their work. Also THANKS to rmk40, eVil D, Paulobrien and nprussell for their amazing Roms and kernels. YOU ALL ROCK!

Hey, I'm new to Droids and noticed my friend has this clock with weather (I think its like Beautiful widgets) on their evo and I was trying to find something similar for my new phone. Is this what you're talking about in this post? Does it require 'rooting' or 'hacking'? Thanks man!

Lol I am in the same boat as you g2man. I'm new to android also and after playing with my friends evo I fell in love with the weather clock and the bookmark widget. I found the clock under beautiful widgets on the market but I am still looking for the bookmarks. I also don't know what's up with hacking or rooting lol.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

if you want those cool widgets then you need to load a sense rom. There are similar ones out there just look in the post your home screen thread and stay looking at other people screens to see what they have and what you like. If you do decide to go with a sense rom then yes you need to be permanently rooted.

Did you use that apk manager or did you just install the apk?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

I installed them all through Astro File Manager and then you can toggle between all of them through the skin selector. Also to answer from the second post yea you will needto root and install a customsense Rom if you are on the T-Mobile G2 which I would guess you are. These will just change certain aspects of the HTC sense operating system.

If you look in post number 6 on the link I supplied there are some frameworks there and the RougeSense one has a circle battery indicator with number in middle. Those files are also .apk format and could also be installed via Astro if I'm not mistaken but I have yet to try that so don't quote me on that. Also there is this link that have and very nice mod for the notifacation bar that has great icons and even better battery icon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9526289&postcount=249 The files from this link MUST be installed via clockwork recovery.
I would say if your going to try these before I do I would do a nandroid back up before just incase something goes wrong. CYA(Cover Your A$$) if you know what I mean. I'm going to try them right now and I'll post and let you know how it goes.
Well I flashed the v3 with animated menu onto my G2 with Virtuous 0.7.1 and all is well. It is currently charging and battery circle is rotating as suppose to. All icons seem to be working just fine. Have to side affects that I can see yet. Posted a screenie for you all to see. Also just want to say this again, MUST flash the icematrix frameworks via clockwork and I highly recommencd doing a backup. If no problems are found the just delete the backup and no harm done. CYA!
EDIT: Find small glitch with v3 w/ animated menu. When screen is unlocked you will get a very quick flash of the home screen preview except upside down. Then just goes to the main screen. So far this only seems to happen if the phone was locked when on the main home screen. Going to try v3 with out animated menu.
EDIT2: Currently running v3 w/out animated menu and seems to be unlock glitch free. But with the animated menu option menus that would normally pop up while using your phone have a effect where it looks like they come out of the side of the screen. But I just really wanted the custom icons.
EDIT3: Well after running v3 for awhile still not having any problems but have noticed a change though. If you look at my first screen shot you'll notice that my contact app is named "Contacts". Well after two reboots my contact app is now named "People"(see screen shot two below). Not that this is a big deal just thought would let you all know.

If you are wanting to flash the icematrix icons then you MUST do it through clockwork recovery. So yes your phone must be perm rooted and you must have a custom Rom installed such as virtuous or eVils desire hd roms. These will only work on sense and NOT stock or cyanogen.

Look under G2 Android development and one of the top posts is a guide on how to perm root and s-off. Then you can install ROM Manager which can flash clockwork to your phone from within the app itself. There is also a post in Android dev about clockworkmod recovery.

No there is no need to rename any of these files. The custom icons from icematrix are installed through clockwork recovery and from clockwork choose "install zip from sdcard",the select "choose zip from sdcard" than just navigate to where you placed the file on your sdcard and will flash it. There is no need to wipe anything when flashing one of icematrix frameworks. The other files from sopL87 are all .apk files and those all install from an app like Astro File manager which can be downloaded from the market for free. Great app to have even if not using it form this reason.

Tried installing the other icons from sopl through astro and it said launch or uninstall. When I hit launch it said it could not. To afraid to hit install unless you have done this already and it works.

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.

What boot animation are you trying to use? Post the link.
Most of them are flashable if they are in zip format, you do that through recovery. If the file is PC36IMG.zip though, that's through your boot loader.
Also what recovery are you on?

its just droid x one, i want with volume, and i dont get what you mean by what recovery? i have clockwork recovery when i go to recovery and ****

Clockwork recovery is your recovery. The name "recovery" is a little misleading personally but whatever. Anyhow, I dont think it's possible to get sounds on your boot animation since you are using miui (aosp roms don't have it built in). I think there is a thread around here about getting them, I just don't know where. Search for it if you like.
To get the actual animation though, just put the bootanimation.zip file on your sd card, not in any folders or anything. Then go into your recovery (clockwork), and flash bootanimation.zip from there. No need to wipe anything usually.
The instructions listed on that thread you linked are for doing it from your computer, a little more complicated than mine.
Sent from my hand with XDA Premium installed

will try thanks

said that installiation aborted, can you recommened a rom to use? i'm still searching for a fav

MIUI lets you change boot animation and sound through the Theme Manager. The files are stored in different locations than on any other rom. If you'll link me to the file I'll make you a mtz file to use in Theme Manager and you can set any sound as the boot sound.

Try wiping cache and dalvik then reflashing the rom over itself. Don't wipe data and everything will be the way it was before the reflash. You can also try fixing permissions through Rom Manager or in Amon Ra recovery "fix apk uid mismatches". If you do both of these and the Theme Manager still doesn't work, the mtz file won't work.
I'm a little busy, but I'll go ahead and start on it. When I'm done I'll post it here along with directions assuming you get Theme Manager to work.

Well an mtz file won't work on that rom. I don't think the boot animation will work the way it's currently set up. I'll try it on my phone and see. If it doesn't work then the file names will need to be changed. I can do this for you but it will probably be tomorrow before I can finish it. If it works as is I will give you directions on how to get it working on that rom.

zips, you install them using recovery like any other rom, and it becomes part of the rom, like when you install CM7 it asks if you want an add on with all the google apps in it with your rom, (talk, youtube etc..)

That's not what I'm talking about as that is pretty obvious. Say you had 30 apks you wanted as part of the roms build. There is a place in the rom zip they can go before you flash the rom. That way don't have to make a ton of zips or build 1 large flashable.zip unless you just enjoy doing everything the hard way

If you open the zip file, and go to System > App, you can copy the apk's in there and they will install when you flash the rom.
You may need to re-sign the zip though, or toggle signature verification in clockwork mod.
