[Q] Themeing Market Apps on DK28

Has anyone had success themeing Market apps (just changing png files) with DK28? I have done it numerous times on DI18 with no problem. On DK28 the md5sum in changing and all apps are deleted off the handset. Anyone figure a technique around this?
This is directly a theming question, hence posted in the theme thread, if that's not cool report it to your mod no need in 50 post unless 50 post deal with theming market apps.

I've been able to theme market apps, XDA for one, and a few others I messed with all seemed ok to me, though I didn't keep them

Hit me on gtalk you might be able to shed some insight if you dont mind

i have absolutely no experience actually doing so but from what i have read, you can theme a market app but you have to put it in /system/app due to what you mentioned, i guess market apps all check their own md5 and if its different it bombs.

Thanks. I actually got it straight. I chose not to use the system folder because we dont need to hog the space if its not needed. The trick was to re sign the app, put it on the sd card, delete the app from the phone, and install via astro. Works as intended and pushed most of them to sd card after!

thats actually really fricken great! hadnt heard that solution but yes, you obvioulsy dont want to hog /system like that. good to know

[Q] Anyone know where the Sprint ID packs are installed?

I was avoiding sprint id but broke down and tried it out. It was pretty nice for about 30 minutes but then I got bored of it. But I do like some of the wallpapers and ringtones. I would like to pull just what I want out and get rid of sprint id again. Does anyone know where the files are stored? I dug around a bit but have not been able to find them.
Edit: And yes I know I can uninstall all parts of the packs that I don't like but I still prefer to have it clean without using sprint id.

Well you could delete system/app/W_Installer with a root explorer type tool. However, that doesn't get rid of the files. If you made a system backup prior to installing Sprint ID then you could delete the appropriate files that aren't backed up (new files)
Having gone through this when I was testing the Bonsai 4.0.0 beta, the easiest solution is to odin.

Just like top nurse said if you open up the rom before you flash it and delete the apk that top nurse gave out it wont install sprint id.

the only way to fully get rid of the awsome sprint id is to revert back to another rom such as ec05 or di18. Otherwise the Applications manager will not let you uninstall the sprint id. After all Sprint worked really hard to port it to this device and if sprint deems it as the defacto standard, then it is. Sprint overlords, will not be pleased if you remove it... . they know who uses it and who does not, just like att and how they can tell who tethers with rooted devices. I would not be surprised if att either sends out notices next to rooted users that says you are rooted and in violation of your contract, please purchase a new phone that is fully locked down including the bootloader and all.... for full price....

Thank you for the answers but I know what to do to get rid of it. I am asking where the wallpapers and ringtones are stored in the file system. I am looking to pull out the ones I want before I remove it.

[Q] Koni's Elite Series 3 - Cant install HTC Music and HTC Music Widget

I just recently installed Koni's Elite Series III. It is my favorite ROM so far. One thing that i cant get to work is the HTC Music, and htc Music Widget apps. He has them as an optional download on the ROM page. I downloaded them, put them on the root of my sd card, and tried to flash the .zip file through clockwork mod. it says Installing update...
Installing HTC Music and Widget...
Done.
Install from sdcard complete.
When I boot back up nothing has changed and the apps are not there. so i tried extracting the apk's to the sdcard's extracted folder and installing them from there and it says application not installed. I even tried to move the apk's to the system\apps folder and install them from there but still no dice.
I tried to figure out how to post this on the rom page but I guess xda doesnt want people asking questions on dev posts haha. hopefully someone can help! Thanks!

The first thing I would do, is check your permissions on both the Music apk, and the music widget apk. Navigate to /system/app, find the htcMusic.apk, and long press it, then select 'permissions'. Make sure that it's set the same as the other system apps. Most likely you just need to be sure that User: read and write are both checked. Once the permissions are set for both of them, reboot the phone and see if that worked.

sweet!
Worked like a charm! I didnt even think about that. Thanks a bunch!!

Ya seriously! so would you know by chance how to get the htc music 2x3 widget? I thought thats what the .com.htc.musicwidget.apk was, but strangely enough that is the standard android 1x3 music widget.... I was hoping to get the htc one because its twice the size and i can control the song without going into the app, plus when the screen is locked it has controls on top of the lock bar

ya, i pulled it from another rom (stock turbo) that has the 2x3 widget. in fact while i was on that rom earlier today (to get this, and the flashlight app) i renamed the com.htc.musicwidget.apk to com.htc.music.widget.blk and the widget disapeared. so.... the htc.musicwidget.apk must be the right file, but why would it only give me the option for the regular android 1x3 widget..... and ya the permissions are the same as all the other widgets. user has read and write and everyone else has just read. I just renamed the htc.musicwidget.apk on my phone on koni's to htc.musicwidget.apk and the android music 1x3 is still there. so i dont think that they are connected, the apk probably just isnt installing right

I would re download your widget, and try again. Are you sure the file didn't get corrupted? (Size is the same as it is in the rom you took it from) The 1x3 widget you're describing sounds like its the widget for the stock android music player, which I also believe is included in konis elite. That would tell me that something isnt right with your com.htc. MusicWidget.apk. did you name it right? (Capitals matter, it can't be all lower case. The m and the w both need tone capitals. (Just throwing stuff out there at this point)

anyone s google wallet not working after hack?

my Google Wallet worked for weeks after the hack but today I try to open the application and it force closed. I tried doing all those steps again from the hack thread but I still can't get it to work. Just want to know if anyone else is having the same problems I am?

Same here. Was working earlier today. Nothing new installed or done to the device either.

Still working for me maybe it was a temporary server malfunction

If the build prop hasn't changed I'd say try fix permissions and see if that solves it. Also could try wiping the app cache. All else fails redo the hack for it

I have redone the hack and it still does not work. Somehow this is working on cm10 based roms but as soon as you come back to a touchwiz rom it force closes. It used to work perfectly on Macs rom, project rom and slim rom but now it does not work on any of them.

This seems plausible to me...
4. If you running an N7100/7105 rom and have already flashed the nfc fix file or used the nfc files from it, then it is too late. If you recall using those files causes android to upgrade some 270+ files on first reboot. Once that occurs I believe that 4.1.1 apks and lib files makes fundamental changes to a bunch of other apps (like camera, gallery, and etc) which is causing the nfc force closes. You must start fresh again.

I just realized that when we edit the build. prop to get the wallet to work, we lose s-note functionality. Wouldn't it be easier to edit the file to mimic that of the galaxy s3? The GS3 wallet does work on the Sprint network. I haven't been able to try it because I don't know what to replace the lines with to make it identical to the s3

if it is uTorrent, they're probably temp files that haven't been downloaded yet. If you watch how torrents download on a PC you'll see there are usually temp files that have to be "filled in" with the file data
if there are no active torrents then those files are probably just leftovers from abandoned downloads.

Right on all counts guys. And pretty fair eye balling as far away as you are. Yes my first thought was that uTorrent Beta was dropping some bugs, so naturally I uninstalled it and cleaned up what I could find within the system. Then I deleted the weird (looked like uTorrent folders and files. Cleaned up again but the suckers came back like bad pennies but this time they seemed to grow logarithmically. The seemed to be attracted to a folder that I had named "Programs" as I was going to stash uninstalled programs inside (go figure) as that was the first folder to be come affected again. So I got out the RAID, bombed them again; all 458 of them now; then formatted using the note 2 stock program and wonder of wonders they came back again. IOkay I'm thinking I'll fix all you guys. I pulled the external SD Card, slipped it into the (make it the right size thingy) to fit in the media slot of my laptops and long formatted the 32GB there. Guess what, no luck the [email protected]@rds were back the next day. My last thought is to boot up with Hiren's Boot DVD and do a 010101010101 back to brand new were it a real hard drive "destructive low level format but with my luck so far, I'll either ruin the SD Card or the damn bugs will return. I'm flat out of ideas, What do you guys all think? he said "still befuddled"!
BTW, I am as well clueless as to why Malware Bytes shows up three times in notification but it did catch a bug first time out. Or maybe it just wanted to look good..who knows at this point (laffin) I just uninstalled and reinstalled it now only one icon show up. So, I am Waaay open for suggestions. Thanks for your time and thoughts guys. Much appreciated.
PS. Just as a sidebar: It always upset me when I'd install one of these Android type programs. The nearly brag about stealing your undoes and shoes. Now I ask ya, why would something like AndroZip need to access my phone? Irked me a bit so I got to searching and by god there are APKs that are supposed to be able to turn x-ray vision off. Hoping this is not a waste of your time....The one I like best so far is App Ops, the next in the "try it out line" is Advanced Permissions Manager. Both rate well and have the right look and so far have not crippled a program. Amazing. Looking forward with baited breath for your sage like observations and advice....and that of any other or you smart guys. Thanks again.

Im no dev, but in your recovery menu try wipe cache, data, and factory reset. if that dont work try a fresh install of your rom with out the sdcard. if it seems to work try using the sd card again. At least that will give you a clue to where the files are coming from
