Ok, seriously, I'm an idiot. I accept all flaming without defense, i deserve it. Apparently I cant read. i have rooted using using Ace Hack Kit (which is fin brilliant by the way!) and I was searching for a way to change the app drawer background. Got the app from the market and proceeded with the file I downloaded. Well I realized as my phone started fkn up that I downloaded from the wrong tab in the browser and hence, the wrong file. I now have a rosie for the htc evo i believe and my htc launcher force stoppes at start up. To top things off, I have never learned how to use adb, don't even know how to access the comand prompt.
All flames aside, all im asking for is a quick how to to get adb open and how to put the origonal rosie back.
Like I said. I'm an IDIOT.
Well I'm not actually, I just do stupid thing once and a while.

what rom r u using? I suppose u can access recovery . Now, if u have the original rom zip, then open the zip file > navigate to system > app. Take out the Rosie.apk file and put the rosie.apk in the system app folder in the zip file i have attached and flash it in recovery.

I have been driving myself crazy trying to get this to work, and after almost 6 hours of no luck, I ve finally just had to ask.
Im basically trying to remove a "feature" of a ROM and add it to another ROM, but without using metamorph. On Clays Reremix of CSDI, he has this little android guy that is in the background on the dialer. Im wanting to move that file over to the original CSDI ROM, but I just cant figure out exactly which files will need to be moved. Is that file stored in the "Phone" apk? Is it just a matter of swapping that apk with the original "phone" apk found in CSDI?
And, Im trying to add the launcher from a theme called Android Plus and move it over to CSDI. I was successful one time in moving the little android dude to the dialer screen, but I havent been successful in changing the launcher ( it always ends in a fc loop after getting past the Google setup). It seems that everytime I sign the zip and flash when Im done, that even with swapped apks, the ROM stays the same.
Is it even possible to accomplish what Im trying to do, or am I simply too much of a n00b to be able to do it?
The easiest thing to do is to push both files using adb. Take both files from Clay's rom and put them where you can find them, plug in your phone to the usb, and use the command:
adb push C://*location*/Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk
and
adb push C://*location*/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk
That will erase the original launcher and dialer and replace it with the new ones. If you don't know how to use adb, find the thread in the development section and follow that. It's not hard to do.
Or, you can use an app called system app backupper. Backup the apps you want from clays rom, and restore them on csdi.
Awesome! Thanks alot for your help! Btw, Im from Tampa myself. I ve been in Germany for 8 years now. Nice to know we still got the helpful people! j/k
???
If the dialer your talking about is before the call is connected, it's in the Contacts.apk.
thanks for your help!
Thanks RichieDaze, glad I scrolled down...
Does anybody know how to change the status bar from plain white to black?? And I'm looking to do this without adding a launcher..Any help?
I asked the same question in Enom's themed rom thread. You have to change certain system settings if i'm not mistaken. His manup themed rom that runs off the sd card has a black notification bar. It would be amazing if we can change it via a script or something.
i used 2 change the status bar on my g1 2 black whenever the roms had the normal white one. you have to edit the 'framework' (i think thats what it was called) files in a zipped rom file. that was the way i would change them at least.
i havent tried on my g2 even tho i do have temp root. just really havent bothered really and i think it would return 2 the white one after reboot even if the rooting takes place at reboot. dont take my word for this cuz i havent tried but... i dunno... the white one hasnt bothered me much yet. lol.
There are many threads on this. Two main ways use enomthrs manup rom or use metamorph. Both ways have instructional threads in the G2 forums... just search

i manually updated so i cant use Enomthrs Manup Rom until he fixes it, and i have no idea how to use ADB or anything so i am SOL with that... and i have no clue on how to use metamorph so i am going to read some threads about it, but i did download the app from the market and i am temp rooted using visionary but when i go to open the app sometimes it wont open, like today the 1st 3 times i tried to open it gave me an error and when i went to see the error again it worked fine lol

Lookup busybox installer, it's by the same dev as metamorph. That should fix your problem with starting it up. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the morphs to apply though. At the end of every theme install, it syas "reboot required". I know I obviously can't do that because it would be erased, but I tried a "hot" reboot and it didn't work either. I think it's because everything needs to be de-odexed. If that's the case then no themes.
**facepalm**
Click yes. It does a hot reboot not a full reboot.

Well I clicked yes and nothing happened. Actually, the same popup asking if I want to do the reboot again, each time I click yes it pops up again. I tried my script I use for a hot reboot as well as a market app and neither time did the morph apply. Unless I'm missing something then I don't think it works.
It works.... just not great. Try a complete reboot, run visionary, then metamorph, then hot reboot, then all your scripts, then hot reboot (if your scripts require). That's how my setup works everytime from a full shutdown.
I've been using various nexus one metamorphs lately, cool stuff. FYI, the LG Optimus launcher works flawlessly on this phone, that too was also ported and is in the nexus one theme section

I flashed aloysis 5 over my Sprint lovers Rom and now when I press phone or internet neither work. I don't have a rosie remap utility apk. I don't. Know why this screwed up like this. I keep trying to download pdf files while at work and it fives me warning about wireless networks being charged blah blah. The pdf files will never download. Driving me crazy. If I go out on service call and am not familiar with the control board I can't even download the manual for it. Grrr

Try installing this Rosie Settings.apk. That happened to me before after I was messing around with different themes and rosies, neither rosie button would work. I had to install the rosie settings app, and then it worked fine. You need to use ADB, Root Explorer, or ES file Exploer. If using root explorer, move the apk to the /system/app folder. Then long press on the rosie settings.apk, and select permissions. Make sure that User read and write are both checked. Then reboot the phone, see if it works after that.
If using adb, you would do
adb remount
adb push RosieSettings.apk /system/app
ty. will give this a shot...kinda driving me nutz though...just wanted to theme stock rom up u know...too many weird issues lately...i really appreciate it bro

you're welcome, let me know if it works. What other types of issues have you been having? All from flashing the theme? Are you sure that Aloysius is compatible on sprint lovers? I'm not sure. I think it's based of Myn's, and I'm right on that, then that rosie settings app should work, because myn's rosie needs that app for it to function. Hopefully thats all ya need!

i believe the alarm part does not work cause it depends on the clock from gs3
you should try the modded apk then cause not having any of those issues with that apk.
but u have to force install that apk file by coping it to system and changing permissions
that is to hard for some people
Es file explorer, super manager are easy to use not hard at all
if you want to post the file link to the other apk and detailed instructions i will add it to op
is the link in the OP the modded apk?
no

Should I revert back to the old build.prop before flashing a different rom?
Edit: So I did some reading and figured it out. Sometimes it's better to look for the answer on ur own. Ignorance is not bliss!
Okay, I want to be out in the open. I have never rooted a phone, nor ever wished to do it for myself. Unfortunately, I have a father who believes everything is a 1-2-3 clicks away from perfection, which is why he prefers not to do it himself.
Anyways, he requested that I root his phone because he believe it will make it run faster
I tried following the steps on this website, from a link which was for the phone SMG-M919(T-mobile S4)(Ver. 4.3) . This is the link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
So I did finish all the steps required. I got my phone rooted, i checked by downloading "Root Checker". SuperSU even asked for permission, to my limited knowledge that means the phone is rooted.
Anyways, the problem seems to be that when I first opened the SuperSU app, it asked to be updated, it just kept loading and loading, 20 minutes must have passed. The loading screen said it it takes too long, just try again by restarting phone. I did that, but the app never asked me to update again, which is weird. Under the APP or the Logs tab in the SuperSU, it just shows a circle loading pic.
Can someone help me to understand what is going on. Also, apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post about this in this forum.

Rooting doesn't make your phone faster. In any way. Just gives you "admin" rights to delete crap and change stuff you normally couldn't.
Changing roms and kernels can tho.
You're fine. Make sure it's updated thru the playstore, if up to date and pop up doesn't come back don't worry about it.

Yeah, I definitely know that Rooting wont make it faster ;D but he doesn't despite my nagging.
Anyways, so if I want to delete apps like the T-Mobile App or those Samsung apps, how can I do it
Also, if I click on things like Clear Logs, the loading circle just loads.... never stops.. Is this really how SuperSu functions

Download a file Explorer with root access, I use Root Explorer, but there's free ones like root browser, I think es file Explorer has root, open it up, navigate to system/app delete what you don't want, and go to system/priv-app and delete what you don't want.
You can delete all tmo apps without affecting anything, pretty much all Samsung apps, travel crap, yahoo, etc. Just be careful, delete something like your home launcher you're screwed.
If anything, install TWRP or cwr and make a back up of the system to play it safe.
Or say screw all that, and download a touchwiz rom in Android Development and flash it. If you want latest greatest version both Sickness and myself have some 4.4.4 roms up. Take your pick
Orrrr aosp rom. I don't usually recommend roms but I will say I love nameless rom....
