Finally, a theme for Roger's HTC Dream Owners

Guys, I've got the Hero theme (created by Soulife) running on my Roger's Dream:
Actual Image of phone (i know you would want proof):
​
Some screen shots taken with ddms:
​
Instructions:
(Of course what you do with your phone is on you, blah blah blah so don't blame me if something goes wrong)
1. Get root on your RD (Roger's Dream)
2. Download the soulife's Hero theme for Roger's Rom
Media Fire Download Link
3. rename the download to "update.zip" and place on the root of your SD card
4. Power your Phone off
5. While Holding down Home Button, start holding down Power button as well hold both until Rogers Logo appears
6. Make a Nandroid Backup
NOTE: if step 6 gives you an error saying sdcard not found, just try it again, mine usually give an error 2 times then works on the 3rd
7. Once the Cyan's Recovery image loads, select "apply update.zip from sdcard"
NOTE: if step 7 gives you an error saying sdcard not found, just try it again, mine usually give an error 2 times then works on the 3rd
8. Once it says done, then select the option to reboot.
The phone will reboot and may time 2 - 5 minutes at the HTC logo, this is normal. It it takes longer than 10-20 minutes use the nandroid backup to do a restore of your boot, system, and data ".img" files via adb and fastboot.

Very cool!! how is the performance? I've read some postings that say it was clunky and others saying it was fine. Right now I'm running Open Home and have a few themes for that. Sometimes it seems like it has to catch up to load the home screen but for the most part it's just as fast as stock (from what I can remember).

This works great! Make sure you install Weather Widget 2.0 to get the full effect (hero style flipper clock and weather)

Hey, just wanted to say thanks to mburris, for the post. Was a simple update to do. I suppose it's a good teaser until we got some ROM's happening on the Rogers Dream. I haven't found any significant lag with this theme myself. My biggest issue was, I was using ahome as default, and it took me about 15min to figure out how to change it from the default. Although, some settings will show up in either desktop mode, for example a different dialer (much better than the original colours)

This has already been done the rom is called MAXIMARv1.1

Update went swell. Easy as strawberry-rhubarb pie.
Some screenshots:
My only problem with the theme is the music widget is still white. Not a big deal, but maybe in an update?
Thanks a lot!

This is so very awesome. Thanks for the work!!
Update took 10 minutes
What does this all change?

It changes the artwork (probably mostly for icons) in the following apps:
AlarmClock.apk
Browser.apk
Calculator.apk
Calendar.apk
Camera.apk
Contacts.apk
GoogleSearch.apk
HTCAlbum.apk
HTCLauncher.apk
Mms.apk
Music.apk
Phone.apk
Settings.apk
Vending.apk
It changes the system images and colors in these apks:
framework-res.apk
services.jar
other than that, it doesn't change any thing

the status bar doesnt change on virtududes v3, maybe I missed something...

Well, I am using Weather Widget Paid version.
You could also use Beautiful Widgets.
They are pretty much direct copies of the Hero widgets.
EDITED: Removed the not-so-legal bits.

there will be an update to this theme later today

hey guys, quick question: how would we revert back to the original theme if we choose not to keep this one?

Cool! Thanks mburris, works exactly as described.

A few questions for a noob if someone could help.
Is rooting the Rogers Dream the same as what is posted in the how to forum?
As well as using nandroid backup and cyanogen's recovery is it all the same steps as what is posted in the how to part of the development forum?
Thanks in advance!

Is this what you want:
Here's how:
1. Connect your device via USB
2. Get to your ADB shell
Code:
G:\SDK\tools>adb shell
3. get into your system\app folder
Code:
cd system/app
4. Remove existing Music app
Code:
rm Music.apk
5. Exit the shell
Code:
exit
6. Download the attached Music.zip file, extract it to your folder that adb is in, in my example its in G:\SDK\tools
7. from a command prompt, make sure you are in your tools folder and type:
Code:
adb install Music.apk
that should do it, no reboot required

[GUIDE] Getting some old features back in Virtuous Sense ROMS

GUIDE: Getting some old features back
INTRO: For those who dislike some of the changes/features made to roms as they are developed and are asking how to get them back, here is a how to. It is usually a simple matter of pushing the old files from previous builds into your current rom. Keep in mind that the devs are building a rom as they see fit. As with any rom that you don't build yourself, there will always be things you want to change.
-If there is a bug, post it in the thread.
-If there is a change that you personally want, then do it yourself. Don't expect the dev, and everyone else who uses the rom, to accommodate your specific needs/wants. You may not have noticed, but you aren't the only one using the rom!
NOTE: This guide and code are meant for the virtuous sense rom, but the concept is universal. For example, if you are using some rom and the new version is posted with, say the amazon mp3 apk removed, and you want it back, refrain from cluttering up the dev's thread with a request to have it back. This is both selfish and a waste of posting space. If you are to the point of installing custom roms, you should first be able to type basic adb/terminal emulator commands to copy/delete files. In this case you would extract the amazon mp3 apk from an old .zip and push/install it into your current one. Now wasn't that easier than waiting and hoping that someone will do it for you?
NOW TO THE GUIDE:
Auto brightness mod - To revert from the auto brightness 'mod', which is far too sensitive, to the original, simply pull the services.jar and framework-res.apk from a rom before the patch, and push them to your framework folder. I've attached them to the second post for ease.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/framework/services.jar
adb shell rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push [directory of saved file]\services.jar /system/framework
adb push [directory of saved file]\framework-res.apk /system/framework
Reboot
-------------------
Keyboard mapping - The www/com key has been changed to a tab, which is good, as it was non-functional before. However the user keys have been changed too. I've modified a file which keeps the www/com key as TAB but also keeps the user keys as user assignable keys. Also attached to second post.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad.kl
adb push [directory of saved file]\vision-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout
Reboot
-------------------
Rosie auto-rotate - If you want to keep it so that rosie will only be in portrait mode with the keyboard closed, but dont want to turn off auto-rotate throughout all apps, just push the old rosie. Also attached to second post.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/com.htc.launcher.apk
adb push [directory of saved file]\com.htc.launcher.apk /system/app
Reboot

Attachments:
You need to rename "services.jar.zip" back to "services.jar" and "vision-keypad.kl.zip" back to "vision-keypad.kl". This is because the forum wont let you upload .kl and .jar extensions as attachments.

Thanks so much for this. I'll definitely be pushing the auto-brightness mod back, and I may do the keyboard, too (might let others do that one first, or see if rmk40/eViL release an update with that first).

Thanks for this!

Good idea with this thread. It's impossible for us to please everyone and this is absolutely the most constructive way to deal with everyone's personal preferences. There is one key consideration for everyone. If we make other changes to the frameworks which you DO want, pushing files from this thread which have not been updated with said features will eliminate those changes as well. Point is, the concept here is good but it needs to be maintained.
Also, the intention with Virtuous is to provide options. The ROM isn't finalized so ROM Manager isn't populated with all the variants it will eventually have. Case in point, we had to re-base on the new Egypt RUU and are in the process of re-applying all our changes. If we had a variety of options, we would have to redo all of those as well. Once we're in a more "final" state, you'll start to see a lot more choices officially supported with the ROM.
The keyboard mod you have here will probably just become part of Virtuous 0.8.0, by the way. I had not realized our replacement eliminated the quick key customizations (oversight).

Chances are I'm not doing it right, as I'm only about 2% oriented in using ADB, but after following the code, pushing the files, etc, the phone boots up with perpetual errors and crashes. (Phone cannot be launched, etc.)
The process in which I did it was:
Wipe the G2, install v0.7.0, update to 0.7.4, remain in recovery and use adb and followed the code you provided above. (Everything says it works, in terms of mounting, pushing, etc.)
I've also tried it where I reboot after updating, let the phone launch fully, then go back to recovery to push the mod files. Same errors occur.
The only two mods I was interested in were the auto-brightness one and the orientation one.
Any idea what I did wrong?

Well from what you are saying, it sounds like the methods are correct. Did you make sure to remove the ".zip" from the end of the services.jar.zip file?

Can this be modified to restore ".com/www" to G2's?

Yup, and I have "always show extension" enabled in folder options, so I definitely got rid of the .zip.
Maybe I'll fiddle with it a little more, see if I missed something.

All right, here's the error I get after removing the files for the brightness mod, and pushing the ones you attached in:
"The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly."
Basically the launcher is completely inaccessible, the phone remains perpetually in the settings screen because I suppose it's the only thing that it can load without the launcher. It also can't get a signal except for wi-fi, "Mobile Networks" in the settings remains unchecked, and it can't be turned on. Hahaha pretty severe for a rather simple mod.
Here's a full step-by-step of exactly what I did:
Wipe User Data, Wipe Cache
Install virtuous v0.7.0, then v0.7.4 from zip
Remain in Recovery
Open command prompt Change directory to ADB (c:\AndroidSDK\tools)
Entered the following codes one at a time:
- adb shell mount /system (mounts)
- adb shell rm /system/framework/services.jar (file removed)
- adb shell rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk (file removed)
- adb push C:\services.jar /system/framework (success 0.250s)
- adb push C:\framework-res.apk /system/framework (success 1.80s)
(I just have the files on C temporarily for the ease of it.)
Reboot
Then the errors hit once I unlock the screen.
Heheh, I can't really think of any other way to approach it. Hmmmm.

Any idea what I'd need to put back for video codecs? I'm running CM 6.1 but it doesn't run streaming videos from the NHL Gamecenter unlike the stock rom. I'm assuming its a codec issue and was wondering what I'd want to replace.

Weird, I have no idea why that won't work for you. Anyway, there is another way around it. Just open up your patch.zip (from 0.7.0 to 0.7.4), go to the framework folder, and remove the services.jar and framework-res.apk from it. Then go about the wipe/install of both zips like normal. That way the patch zip will no longer replace those two files. Anything that you don't want changed in a patch zip can just removed from it.

Sorry cant help on that one, I haven't run a CM rom since like 1 or 2.0 haha. You may try to see if others are having that problem, or if it is a known issue with the 6.1 and streaming videos. Is it only that site? Maybe a flash player version problem?

Yea, I assumed it would be out-dated soon anyway, as changes are made to your roms. I'll adjust it to keep up if the need is there though. It was just a couple of the more simple alterations that I made, and after seeing so many people cluttering up your thread with posts about them, I decided to post this.
Mostly, though, I just wanted to remind people that many simple issues/personal needs (like an app being removed from a rom, or a small change to one or two apps) can be solved with a little bit of thought and some adb knowledge - both of which should be present if you are working with a rooted phone in the first place!

[Q] Prophecy ROM: deleted android clock

ok, so I'm retarded...
I'm runnin' Prophecy 4.4, and the HC Dreams theme. I noticed the lockscreen was HTC style and not Vanilla with the HC Dreams theme, so since I prefer the HTC Clock over the Android clock (love the timer and stopwatch) I deleted the Androidclock.apk. When trying to install the HTCclock.apk, I get the error: application not installed. I tried changing permissions to no avail, and now it seems I'm screwed. I'd LOVE it if someone could tell me how to get the HTC clock installed, but if there is no way, and someone can pull the androidclock.apk for me, or has it lyin' around, I'd appreciate that as well.
Thanks for takin' the time to look!

Try Pushing THIS & THIS into your /system/app folder via adb. Or use rootexplorer to copy them there. Also if you want your androidclock.apk back instead of the htc i posted then open your prophecy rom.zip file and goto system/app/ folder and find the androidclock.apk and extract it and install.

Thank you SOOO much for your help! Unfortunately, I settle same "application not installed" error. Gonna have to install Android's clock from the ROM as you suggested. I'm still curious, though... want to figure out what's keeping system apk from installing.
THANKS AGAIN! I REALLY appreciate the attempt!

Lol. Could have posted in my thread or PM'd me, bro. I could have helped you as soon as I got the notification.
Something you should know about how my rom works...
The HtcClockWidget.apk is modified to open the AOSP DeskClock.apk instead of the WorldClock.apk that is no longer there. The AOSP DeskClock.apk is used because without having the HTC Lockscreen, the alarms won't work right. You won't be able to turn them off. Because I use JsChiSurf's Vanilla LockScreen Mod, I have to use the AOSP DeskClock. If you want to basically use the HTC DeskClock, you need to push the 3 attached APKs to /system/app. You'll no longer be able to use the Vanilla Locks until you remove the HtcLockScreen, put the AOSP DeskClock and the modified HtcClockWidget back.
To do this...
1. Download the 3 attached APK files...
2. Open up CMD and point it to where the APK files have been downloaded. ADB should work in whatever directory you're in because of it being in your %PATH% environment variable
3. Type: adb remount
4. Type: adb push WorldClock.apk /system/app
5. Type: adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app
6. Type: adb push HtcLockscreen.apk /system/app
7. Type: adb shell
8. Type: cd system/app
9. Type: rm DeskClock.apk
10. Type: reboot

Hi there, i tried pushing the 3 apk´s but when i run the clock app it force closes( with error msg "The application clock (process com.htc.android.worldclock)has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again ) : ( any idea?

Try fixing permissions. In Amon Ra, you can "fix apk uid mismatches". You can also fix permissions through Rom Manager.
And just to clear something up...
When you copy the apks to /system/app using Root Explorer, you don't then click on them to install - they won't install through the normal installer regardless of where they are. Just move them, then long-press and choose "permissions" from the menu. Change the permissions to rw-r--r--. To elaborate, the first line should have read and write checked and the last two lines should have only read checked. Then reboot and the apps will be installed.
I'm just letting you know for future reference, but using adb is a great learning experience. I just wanted to clear up why it didn't work.

CRT Screen Off Mod

Here is an interesting article that will help you if you want CRT screen Off animation like in Nexus S:
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/enable-crt-animation
Worked with no problems on my SGC with Rogers ROM.
I actually used NinjaMorph to package the modified resources.arsc into framework-res.apk, but I assume the original method will work too.

Probably no. Most likely you will end up with phone freezing on the Samsung logo at boot. framework-res.apk files are not interchangeable between models, maybe not even between firmware versions for the same phone.

Can you post a step by step guide then? I can't really understand anything here

The step-by-step instructions from the link in the first post are pretty much what i did. Read the comment by ravenstark - if you mount the filesystem with root explorer there will be no need to execute the commands in red in section 8.
The instructions from the link in your post cover steps 3-7. You still have to download the file to your PC (1), decompile it (2) and upload it back to the phone once you are done with it (8).

For the first step which terminal do you use??
(Free Your Android guide)

adb. If you don't have you can download it from here. It is part of the SDK and probably the most essential tool.
The command is exactly as written there

What do you mean? If you're using a Windows PC, then just open up a cmd prompt. You should read the guides at the beginning of that page so you know how to setup adb and the apk tool.
The big picture is this. Connect your pc to computer, pull file from phone to PC using adb, modify file on PC, push file back to phone using adb.
For what it's worth, here's a thread I wrote quite a long time ago, some is not applicable for the Glide, but most of it still applies. If you're going to be mucking around in your phone it's best to know how to do a few things first. Read Before Flashing.

When I try and open SDK or AVD (what's the difference :| ) then I just get a quick terminal screen that closes.

It would be appreciated if someone could just create a flashable CWM version >_<

I hate my inexperience @ this. It keeps saying this isn't "adb" isn't recognized, but I've downloaded it! How can I check?!

Ok, so what have you done so far?
What should be done. Assuming you're using Windows, install the Android SDK. Once installed, launch the SDK Manager. Then from the list of installable options, choose the Platform Tools and I always like to get the drivers. Once done, you will have this path, CrogramFiles(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, now you could add this path to your variables in Windows, which would be easiest, or copy the Platform-tools folder to C:. Then plug in your phone via USB to your computer.
Now, if you added the Path to your variables, just go Start>Run>cmd, and at the cmd prompt type adb devices. If you see a device you're good.
If you copied the Platform-tools folder over, then Start>Run>cmd, and in the cmd prompt type,
C:
then
cd platform-tools
then
adb devices
Beyond that, can't really help, never use apk tool. Good luck.

Attached to this post is a CWM update with CRT Screen OFF and battery icon with percent for ROGERS ROM. I'm not sure this will work on AT&T ROM.
Make a backup before applying this update so you can restore if you end up stuck on SAMSUNG logo on boot.
Apologies to the author of the battery mod - I couldn't find his post to link to here...

I hate my inexperience @ this. It keeps saying this isn't "adb" isn't recognized, but I've downloaded it! How can I check?!

Hopefully the file tcfx44 posted works for you. Either way, I highly suggest you learn how to use adb and some other tools if you plan on flashing your phone in the future. It could prove useful some day.

Will this apply over OsiMood? I really am not sure if I am using the Rogers, but apparently I am because in XDA App it says I927-R and same with a benchmark.

Doesn't work for OsI mood 2.1.30 or whatever version was released today. I don't want to give up the amazing UI and stuff of OSi. I'm working fine though, so doesn't look like the install failed or bricked. Any revisions?

I changed a bit the CWM mod. Hopefully this one will work. Make a backup of your current ROM - I'm not sure if this mod is compatible with OsiMood.

CRT Screen Mod -- Works with Rom manager..
Addition
Default Battery Indicator Changed.. Shows Percentage in steps of 5%..

Anyone having problems powering off and crashing GO Launcher? (then run through media scanner, etc..)
Could you remove the battery mod? I don't like it compared to OSiMood battery >_>
Finally, sorry for demanding so much, could you also put CRT on and ICS animations here?
Sorry!!!!!

Having serious problems turning off. This then affects my underclock.

Change your bootanimation

Make sure your device is rooted and has a working rom with usb debugging enabled!
How to change it:
download the android SDK and make sure its updated
go to the platform-tools folder
place bootanimation.zip in it
open cmd go to the platform tools folder at cmd and fill in these commands (make sure you got a rooted device and have usb debugging enabled NOT IN FASTBOOT)
adb device (if you see your device its good and get to the next stap)
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
reboot your device now and you will see the new boot animation

Nice idea, but not totally correct.
The path that you gave is correct for some roms, not all. Stock sense roms have bootanimation in system/customize/resources,
The path you gave works if custom bootanimation location is enabled in kitchen while cooking your rom.
So just search a little bit more, widen your tutorial and everything will be perfect.
Plus, in my oppinion there are a few easier ways to change bootanimation.

Here's on how to do it WITHOUT a computer.
Prerequisites :-
Rooted phone
An application that allows root exploration (root explorer, ES File explorer)
A rom that allows custom bootanimation.. I think all roms allow it, but I might be wrong here. Do search it up before attempting.
Bootanimation.zip
Step 1 : Copy your bootanimation to your phone (if you're using a computer)
Step 2 : Navigate to /data/local (for AOSP) or system/customize/resources (for sense. Not sure if path is correct but the poster above mentioned it is.)
Step 3 : Rename the original bootanimation.zip to something else, like bootanimation.zip.bkup, Just incase you need it next time.
Step 4 : Copy the bootanimation you want to /data/local
Step 5 : Reboot
Step 6 : Profit.

Yes, that's native location of bootanimation for sense roms, but it can be change during process of making of rom (same as AOSP). Also all of this doesn't work for MIUI.

dont forget a little thing called change permissions

Done this on all my phones, never needed to change permission..
ALSO I'VE NOTICED, some bootanimations are FLASHABLE zips, so do check before you replace it. If you replace the bootanimation with a flashable bootanimation the phone MIGHT NOT boot.

yh, i was going on the fact of not using a computer and moving to data/local, and that way u have to change permissions

Not necessary, cause when you put something in folder it aquires permission of it.
