Hi Guys,
I have been tinkering around with sense themes and lockscreens and have created some lockscreen rings I would like to share and create for others.
I understand that people using other roms have different frameworks, so I plan to take the Fusion.apk from the users rom and modify it, question is what is the easiest way to push the file to another users phone.
Would it be possible for them to use a root explorer and push the file that way, or would I have to create a update zip in order to do this if so how do I start with this.
Are you s-off? If yes, use root explorer to copy the apk out of /system/app to e.g. sd card. Now you can share it (for example via bluetooth).

Is it possible to transfer wallpapers from one rom to another? some roms have really nice wallpapers but aren't that great while others are awesome but don't have good wallpapers.
I dont see why you couldnt pull them out with root explorer and move them into your sd card. Then when u flash new rom put them in media file folder where other ones are.

that method sounds ideal but I've searched almost all the phone files and I couldn't find them. If by any chance you're using the stock gingerbread rom you could help me look?
You need root explorer (which you need to buy) on market. You open app n go down to rom zip currently installed. Then go to System folder, Apps folder, and look for Cm wallpaper Apk. file. At this point extract them to root of sd card and bingo bango there u go holmes. As long as you have multiple roms on sd card, you can just go into each one and repeat till u got what u want

Dl rom you want on comp, dl rom with wp you like on comp. Open zips. Drag wp to rom you want, put on SD, flash. There's your walls. Or be easy and add to wp folder on your sd

I would like to install some new fonts on this phone and I was trying to install it from the Viper Store which it did installed on the SD card. Now what do I do from there. Need help?

Fonts on Froyo are stored in /system/fonts/
The two files to overwite using Root Explorer or w/e would be DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. Make sure to copy the originals in case you ever want to revert.
I tried to take the messaging apk and the htc.ime apks from the virtuous fusion rom because i want to use them on Insertcoin_vision rom running 2.1 sense+ 3.0.Is there anyway that i can do this ??
Put the rom.zip on you computer and unzip it. Then look in system/app for the apk's.
Now there is a good chance that these apk's won't actually work on the insertcoin rom. For a lot of sense apps to work they are dependent an the sense framework and this varys from version to version.
Easiest way to then install is adb if you know who to use adb, cool. If not I'm not going to explain here and you will need to follow the instructions bellow
you won't be able to install like a normal app you would have to place then in the /system/app folder and make sure the permissions were set correctly. The best way to do this is using root explorer or something similar. Place the apk on your sd card and copy them to the folder. If your using root explorer once you have copied them th the correct folder press and hold on the app to bring up them menu and select permissions. The permissions need to be the same as the other apps in the /system/app folder. You will need to move the original apk before copy the new ones in make sure you put these on your sdcard.
Then reboot, but be prepared for the apps not to work.

Did you ever extract the keyboard from Virtuous Fusion? I am interested in it as well.
I have never used Virtuous ROMs but I am curious, what is special about the keyboard? Is it not just the stock HTC keyboard?

Thanks mate....it helped me too big time...
I really like Sense but i hate the fact that it doesn't support Landscape mode. Today i found this thread and i managed to decompile the Rosie.apk with APK manager
I found the code what needs to be changed and changed it in Notepad++ following the turorial. Then i recompiled it again with APK manager without signing it and pushed the newly created Rosie.apk on my phone with Root Explorer to System/Apps(did the R/W remount offcourse)
BUT! when i restarted the phone it is stuck at bootanimation for about 10 minutes. Then i got my "homescreen". however it was a black screen with the notification bar...
Now my question. Could someone try to follow that tutorial and make a Rosie.apk wat won't give a black homescreen.
The notification bar was turned over in landscape mode by sensor!!
So could someone give me a working Rosie.APK or explain me what i did wrong and the method to fix it...
I would appreciated! + it will be awesome to have landscape in froyo sense
help..... anybody!?
Try using adb/apk manager to push it back to your phone.
Root explorer always gives me problems pushing files to /system, I don't quite understand the whole permissions thing yet but did you change them?
I'm on cm7 though so can't try to do it for you without reflashing.

thank you! i did'nt try by adb push and ik think if i find the time tomorrow i will try this. could it be that it is a recompile issue?
I used root explorer to push my systemui.apk and framework-Res.apk to my system folder last night and managed to get it to work first time, the way I did it was like this:-
My new file was named newsystemui.apk which let me copy it into the same folder as systemui.apk without overwriting the original.
Then check the permissions on the original file, rename the new one to the same as the original (which should vanish at this point leaving the new one) change the permissions to what they should be and reboot. Same method with the framework, if that doesn't work then it must be something you've edited. Did you save a copy of the original? If not I presume you would be able to extract one from a sense rom or an ruu.

I dont really get wat you mean. Where did you find the systemui and framework.apk or do you have another launcher? or also sense?
can you please be a bit more specific? thanks for the help though!
Sorry I was just using that as an example as there the files I was playing with last night. In your case it would be Rosie.apk instead of systemui.apk. I'm on cm7 nightlies btw.
Rename your new file to something other than Rosie.apk, then copy with root explorer into whichever folder Rosie.apk is in.
Rename it back to Rosie.apk and then change the permissions.

aaaaaaaaah in that way...
lets try...
You get me now, I think apk manager should've renamed it on compiling anyway to unsignedrosie.apk

unfortanatly that didn't work
I had Adw launcher installed so i dont have the blackscreen anymore. But everytime i try to copy and paste Rosie.apk tot system app wit R/W remount, using root explorer Rosie shutsdown and ADW takes over the homescreen.
So, i installed home switcher for froyo to see if Rosie is seen as a homelauncher but it doesn't
in short, after i changed Rosie.apk Sense won't recognize Rosie.apk as a launcher.
Could this be my problem? and how can i fix it? Do i need to sign it and how can i do that?
I used the following code:
adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
adb pull /system/app/Rosie.apk
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
apktool d Rosie.apk
-- edited Androidmanifest.xml (nosensor replaced by sensor)
apktool build Rosie
Put Rosie.apk from the Dist-folder on my sd card
Copy and paste it to System/app with R/W on using root explorer
Sorry mate, only other thing I can think of is to push it back with adb/apk manager see if that works, try signing it see if that works, play around a bit. I'm not too sure now as I haven't used sense for a while.

thank you! i already tried to push with adb and apkmanager, no luck either. The only thing i can do within my knowledge is signing after i figured out how...
thanks!
Maybe somebody else can help me?
Landcape Rosie doesn't work for Sense 1.0. It was developed for 2.1+ with the release of the Evo Shift 4G. The Thunderbolt is also Sense 2.1. If you want landscape rosie, I would suggest using a sense 2.1/3.0 rom. If your device has none, I would suggest asking a developer for porting help. I might be able to port it, but I don't have very much experience porting...
Thanks.. soon we will have sense 2.1 with gb 2,3,3. User vigidroid and nrk1983 is fixing this.. (senseonfire) as an extra feature vigidroid will try landscape support. Perhaps you can helo them for some fixes?

Hi,
I am currently running: Jelly "Beans" Custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221268
I am a large fan of the sms app that they have, but would like to switch roms. I like the way it looks and the custom colors that were placed within the system SMS app. Is there a way to create a flashable .zip file of this messageing app to flash onto a different new rom?
I've searched to check if there is a flashable.zip file available for this customized SMS app and can't seem to find it, if someone has a link to the SMS flashable zip already, that would work also.
Thanks

Works well. Flash it.in recovery and you might need to do it a few times before you find one with working mms.
Also in the future to push apps to system just a file explorer with root access and copy any app you want and then paste is it the system/app folder. Make sure the folder is R/W and change permissions to rw-r-r
