[Q] Stock alarm clock w/ smart alarm.. - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN ASKED, BUT NEVER ANSWERED SO LET THIS GO TO REST ONCE AND FOR ALL.
So the alarm clock for the epic that everyone keeps asking about is eclair i believe. It was on Bonsai 3.0.1 as well. it has the smart alarm feature and all that jazz...
SO, now that we know which .apk were talking about, here comes the million dollar question(s).
First, On SRF1.2, couldnt i just grab the apk (its in the .zip that bonsai used for flashing it back into there rom) and pull the apk out and push it to system/app? Its called clockpackage.apk if that rings any bells. I personally tried this and it worked, then when i three button'd and rebooted, it has launcherpro FC's and one other one.
Secondly, if it cant be installed that way or isnt compatible, could someone make it so for SRF 1.2?

Go for it and tell us if it works

gah, i cant find the link! it was on both 1.1 and on 1.2 threads but now i cant seem to find it. ill keep looking and post it here once i find it.
edit: found a link on the ee thread that could possibly work. im not sure though. link has a list of downloads to choose from. best bet would to try the sprintapps.zip and then use app remover to remove all unwanted apps thats was installed with flash.

When I try to delete htclockscreen.apk through adb I keep getting error saying file does not exist... used instructions from bottom of first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702361 What am I doing wrong?
Use root explorer to look for it and delete it, its the easiest way possible.

I tried that also and can't even find the file
These things are case sensitive. You are looking for:
/system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
Right?
What rom are you running? If it is any sense based rom it should be there..

Bumping your own thread is the best way I know of to get people to ignore your question, especially when your bump is less than 30 minutes after your last post. If no one responds in a day or two then a bump is ALMOST acceptable, it's just good forum etiquette. (tip: posting any kind of progress, even if it's failed attempts, is a much better way to bump a thread. That way people at least know you are trying to solve the problem on your own)
Also, have you posted your question in the thread for the rom you are running? That's probably the best place to get relevant answers.
Although I am inclined to believe you are missing something, unless flipz changed the name of the apk for some reason.
Use ADB to "ls" your /system/app directory and post the output here. If you have the Sense style pull-down bar lockscreen then the lockscreen apk has to be there somewhere.
another option is at least in previous fresh roms in the fresh updater is a vanilla lockscreen flashable zip. yuoc an try seeing if it is still tjhere for 3.2 and flashing it to kill it off for you.
If you can't find it buy system app remover from the market. .99 cents and I'm running barebones on cm6 smooth as butter.. I hit 1937 today with stock kernel. Anyways it has two categories. System and user apps. Even shows the icons next to the names of system apks. Don't have to search for them they all are in a list.

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?
Sent from my hand with XDA Premium installed
its alright, i really just want a rom that has close to outstanding battery life, then i want to be able to change to my favorite boot animation and a nice lockscreen and has tethering that works mine isn't working.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6939890&postcount=260
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.

That's your keyboard, not the messaging app... if I understand your complaint. There are a few free keyboards on the market, or you can try the HTC IME Mod - it's here on xda.

I need the stock musicplayer.apk for my epic4g

So I just got the randomrom, and I noticed it doesn't have stock music player , and I like that music player because it has the options to puase forward previous on the notification menu, no other music player has that so far that I've used or know of. So can someone , give me the .apk file to that?

Here ya go, it might be from ef02 but im not sure. you have to use sdxstockappremover (http://roc-city.com/android/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk) to install it put the apk in sdcard/sdx/backup/app/ and use the restore option
hope this helps
I have not the slightest clue how to do that . Can you explain it to me in well writen instruction, can I do this over my phone? Or will I need my computer?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Do this instead(might be easier for you) Put this on the root of your sd card(this ones from froyo ec05): http://db.tt/7sxDLX4
Download ES file explorer from the market
Go into its settings and turn on the both root options.
Copy and paste the apk into /system/app
Then turn of the root options in settings, the bottom one first.
Exit the file explorer
Reboot
Voila.

ok so basically its just an apk file but it is a system app so you cant install it directly by pressing install it will say unsucsessful which is why you need the sdx tool. the sdx tool is for managing system apps (like musicplayer.apk) which is a very simple and useful app. you dont need a computer
Step 1. You need a file manager from the market i use androzip
step 2. download and install http://roc-city.com/android/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk and perform a backup of any system file (ex. AccountAndSyncSettings.apk) to establish the folders in your sd card
Step 3. use androzip (or any file manager) to navigate to sdcard/tapatalkxdapre_download/ and copy musicplayer.apk (assuming you already downloaded it with the xda app) to sdcard/sdx/backup/app/
Step 4. go to sdxstockappremover in your app drawer and hit manage backups and if everything is alright it will be there aong with the other app you backed up so just check it and hit restore selected files.
I will attempt both methods if one does not work, Thank you guys for your help. Oh another thing. Can you guys give me a feedback on the syenergy rom if it is good for epic, If so what features does it have that are good , no just give me the pros and cons.
Synergy-cons its old and uses eb13, go with midnight 5.5 or srf 1.2

Hope you get it working! I can't answer about ROMS, since I haven't used one yet, but if you want froyo, go Syndicate Frozen ROM 1.2 or the latest MidNight.

[Q] Deleting apks from zip files

If I wanted to delete some APKS from srf 1.2 zip file so they don't re install when I flash can I just go into the file delete those apks. Or will that cause problems in other places I am thinking not but am just wondering?

Yeah I wasnt going to do anything important just stuff like galaxy s tuner and kies air and other stuff I have never used
yup, i generally do that with all roms i download.. go through and pull out stuff i don't want/need before flashing..
Thanks for the fast response I just did it so hopefully next time I flash it is a little cleaner I made a copy of the original in case I did something wrong I can always install it the way it has always worked in the past.

where can I find a black theme mms for stock ROM

Hello,
I used the search, it came up with a black theme MMS taken from a CM rom. When I DL the file it was a zip file.
So, I flashed it thru CWM, but it wont take it - installation was aborted.
I've got a rooted stock T-mobile ROM. Can anybody know where I can find a mod to change the stock mms to a black theme mms. A black themed dialer will also be cool to have.
thanks in advance.

All you had to do was change the .zip to. Apk
Push it over the current mms.apk or use root explorer to delete the current apk and place the new one in and reboot
