[Q] Edit build.prop to match GSM

Can someone please post the steps that I would need to take to edit my build.prop (or whatever I need to edit) So that my phone appears in the market as a GSM galaxy nexus.
I want to install the Google Wallet app. (From the market...I know there is an .apk that I can install manually)
Bonus point for including steps that I can take to change it back after I've downloaded it.
Thanks.

try to download
goo-inside.me/roms/fabolous/gapps/signed_GAPPS-IML74K-010112.zip
extract the wallet app from signed_GAPPS-IML74K-010112.zip/system/app/ and install the wallet.apk
maybe thats enought

Being able to download from market isn't tied to your build.prop being GSM, and that'll cause more issues than it'll fix.
It's tied to your carrier being AT&T at the moment. There's already a thread in here that will let you download the apk and sideload it, no root required.

Thanks, I saw, followed and downloaded using the steps in the link since I had posted but glad to see that someone actually read what I wrote and gave me what I was looking for.
To the others, I already had the wallet .apk installed, but wanted to market version, I was aware there was an .apk that I could use but that wasnt my question.
In any case, I got it installed so thanks for the help.

Market version and the apk are the same.

[Request][APP] stock dialer with t9 on jellybean

Really would like to have the stockdialer with t9 function. Can it be done? Exdialer isn´t the quite same..

Its the same as ics bud...I think
Sent by pocket technology.

I thought of asking the same, as I really miss this, too.
But the source release is ~2 weeks away, so AOKP/CM is about to land here soon. We might just wait untill then :fingers-crossed:

just saw in modacos jb rom in kitchen you can choose cm9´s t9 dialer.. so in other words its already ported for JB. Maby someone can fix a flashable zip with it?

I could get it to work now, I get the Contacts.apk from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29148-ro...ulti-reboot-power-menu-cm9-t9-dialer-updated/
You have only extract the Contacts.apk from the Modaco build 1.2. I could make a flashable zip but the app is not my work.

this is t9 dialer based on stock dialer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608585

Here's a repacked T9 Dialer (found on Modaco build 1.2) works on JB deodexed ROM. It replaces stock JB dialer. I've tesedt on bigxie rom.
download from box.com
or
here
Note: If you are on odex ROM, you might have a boot loop... please manually push the Contacts.apk and delete Contacts.odex.
Edit: added script to delete Contacts.odex from /system/app/ so it should works on both odexed/deodexed rom.

Iam on JellyBelly and sadly it doesnt work.
It will say "App not installed" when i press my old Shortcut and in Drawer its not to see.

2 quick questions...
1. Should this work on any GNex, or only GSM?
2. Do we install as app, or push to system/app/ and delete original contacts.apk from our ROM?

Are you on odex ROM or deodexed ROM? if you're on the odex ROM, there's /system/app/Contacts.odex needed to be deleted. If it doesn't work for you, I don't have any idea too since I got that app from other rom. By the way, I only tested it in my device and my sister device, both running deodexed rom by bigxie.

1. The file I got is from Modaco CDMA/LTE rom. I use in on my GSM network and it works for me, so I assume it works for both CDMA/GSM.
2. You have to flash the zip through CWM recovery, but can also use adb to push the file to your /system/app

Iam on JellyBelly. So deodexed. Cant understand why it doesnt work there. No big difference to Stock.
Gesendet von meinem A500

you could try:
redownload the CWM-flashable ZIP
renaming the contacts.apk in your /system/app with ESFileExplorer (root needed)
instant reboot to recovery
flash the ZIP file again
reboot and check with ES-File if the new contacts.apk was correctly applied

Now I'm update to android 4.1.1 deodexed rom by Bigxie, and it still works for me. Strange for you though.

I can confirm that. Thanks it works with 4.1.1. :highfive:

Cool that it works but does anyone know of a version actually updated with the 4.1.1 code? I hate to replace new APKs with older ones.

The modded app is released before the source code of 4.1 out, and I think it's CM9 app... and to be precised, it is 4.0.4-eng.paul.20120703.185012. You will have to wait for someone do the mod for 4.1 if you want the latest app.

I downloaded and tried to flash but gives me a status 7 code because the zip is designed for gsm phones.
I don't have time to edit the package tonight. Could someone just upload the contact.apk? I can just use root explorer to move it.
Update
I extracted the apk from the archive and moved it to apps. Set the proper permissions and reset but still no go. Doesn't even display or install. Restored my original and back to the drawing board.

In case you have yet to find one that works, try clicking on "t9 dialer" in my signature, it will download a zip file, then flash that in recovery and reboot. it worked with my 4.1.1 install.

[APP / THEME] Inverted Jelly Bean Google Apps / Black & Blue

Hi everybody,
OP UPDATED :
I just wanted to share these beautifull Inverted Black and Blue Apps. I'm only a messenger here, and had the kind authorisation and support of NCANDIANO to post these here for everybody. Please thank him, and most important, go show your love on ROMDROIDHACKS Forum, which is really great !
I didn't made these, so I'll take no credits. Please thank NCandiano, and ROMDROIDHACKS :
Original Thread here : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-twistedx-theme/
The amazing TWISTED(X) Theme, made by NCANDIANO, will only work with KILLROMS , but as he's a real Gentleman, he made separate inverted apps only package, for us to use with all other Roms (should work on all J.B ROMS.)
What you'll find (Quoted from Twisted(X) Thread) :
Inverted (Black and Blue) GApps & Extras:
TwistedAppsOnly: http://db.tt/DX8nht1F (Contains for your pleasure: Updated Contacts, Calendar, Gmail, MMS, and Keyboard, Google Now, Email, Calculator, Google Talk, Phonesky(market))(This pack can be used with any 4.1.1 Roms. Google Now may have to be installed seperately, however.)
Flashable App-Zips: For your convenience. In the event you'd like to sample one or two flavors, this is the menu. Have at it.

FOR BETTER AND NICER AND BIGGER SCREENSHOTS, WELL GO TO : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-twistedx-theme/
I particularly advise using these apps with the wonderful RASBEANJELLY ROM, which is already all Black and Blue : http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=maguro
OR of course using the Original Theme with KILLROMS : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/
Instructions for flashable zip : wipe cache and dalvik, flash and reboot.
If you want to revert to stock apps...then you'll have to flash again your Rom after having performed a cache and dalvik wipe.
Usual Disclamer : I'm not responsible for the damages that these could eventually cause to you phone. I suppose you're grown-up people, so you don't need me to hold your hand...blah, blah,.......BUT these apps should not harm your phone if you follow instructions...

Yay... Looking good.
Thanks for sharing.
Would it be possible for me to edit the text (e.g in Gmail) to white?

Has anyone managed to install the quicksearch inverted app? I tried both installing it as a normal apk file and moving it to system/app/ after removing velvet.apk (which should be the normal app) but in the first case I get an error message saying it's not a valid apk file and in the second case it doesn't pop up anywhere in my installed apps list after rebooting the device. Thank you.

Try this one and report ; you don't need to delete first the old one, just put the new one in system/app folder, it will override it, and the phone will reboot.

Oh, that's must be why then. I had moved out of the /system/app folder the original velvet.apk in my attempts. Now even if I move it back to the app folder, the stock google search app won't appear in the apps list no matter what. I guess I have to flash gapps again and then follow your procedure.

Yes, i think deleting first the file must "disturb" the system somehow...
Try with the Quicksearchbox in OP, and if it doesn't work, then try the Velvet one.

Instead of deleting or moving the original files. Just rename them. Then it's easy to undo the changes.
Remember to check that permissions are set.

You are right, I should've just renamed it. That was my bad, I thought that following the rootzwiki inverted gmail client installation procedure would work with those apk as well (mount /system for W permissions as root, delete /system/app/gmail.apk and then install the custom gmail.apk as a normal apk file).
For the record's sake, I've tried flashing latest gapps but I couldn't manage to make google search pop again. Maybe I should just do a clean flash of the rom again and try with the correct procedure.

What's strange is that i'm using too Rasjellybean 9th Aug , and i installed this without any issue.
So volapyk is right , this could be a permission problem.
Vaalen , have you tried the velvet apk too ?
And before reflashing default gapps , have you wipe cache and dalvik ?

Flashable Zips- Black Velvet Forthcoming
I added the apks into flashable zips. They're generic zip flashers they'll work in any recovery. Just wipe cache/dalvik and flash. It's not always just the name with the QSB apk, so I'm going to put together a Velvet.apk when I get home later, in the meantime these should make for easier installs for those who don't want to be messing around in the system/app folder. I'm PMing you the links because XDA won't let me link (not enough posts,) If you would update the OP I'd appreciate it.
**Black and blue UI, Framework, and Inverted Notifications Shade are only supported at the HIVE for Axiom ROMs at the moment.
Enjoy your JellyBean!

OP is updated with your flashable zip NCandiano, again a huge thank to you. As i said i just wanted to use these apps on other roms, and pulled these from your beautiful PZ Theme, and with your permission posted here.
But i didn't think you'd come and offer us even better ! That's great mate ! You deserve your own thread for your own work buddy ! I'm just a user who appreciate and share your work.

Flashed MMS apk and gmail apk. MMS apk works great except when you click a thread on the main screen the area you click doesn't highlight. Is this how it should be? Also gmail apk only screen that is dark is the main home screen. When you click to read an email it is white. Normal as well? Thanks!

[JB-4.2] GB Theme Remover & Facebook Sync

Hi everyone
I ported two little mods to the latest JB 4.2. They have been tested on the stock odexed ROM but they could work on a deodexed one ^_^
- GB Theme Remover removes the Gingerbread "theme" from all the old apps and displays them with the Holo (4.0+) one. The mod was originally ported by lippol94 to 4.1. Just flash the zip.
- Facebook Sync makes you sync your FB contacts with the built-in People app.
How to:
- Delete the FB account
- Flash the zip
- Go to Settings, Applications, Contacts Storage and delete its data (make sure you have synced your contacts before doing this...)
- Open the Facebook app and as soon as you enter your login, it should ask you to sync.
Hope they are useful ^_^

Not sure what I done wrong when I tried using this on mmuzys 4.2 gave me a boot loop. Had to reflash OS rom.
Would love to try this mod though.

You should make a zip themer mod for the GB remover so anyone can use it in any custom Rom

Since the GB remover mod replaces the framework-res.apk in the system

There are no images. Changes are made to XML files.

Well do you know which XML files?
Because those can be replaced with zip themer as well

Its replacing Styles.xml which cannot be zipthemer'd. Framework has to manually be decompiled and modded.

Don't do this if you don't know anything about it.

As I said it's just for 4.2 ROMs... and probably as I learned these days, only for the stock ROM because Android checks for the signature of framework-res and a lot of apks in /system/app. They must match or the OS won't even boot. These mods keep Google's signature so the only ROMs which work are Google-signed ones.

I got a boot loop on aosp r5.

All theme can't use anymore after latest update !!!

yup... Today I was disappointed to Asus, after update to ver os Z00A-2.20.40.156_20151218_8265, all themes that do not exist in playstore unusable anymore .. why ASUS did this?

Yes. I have same problem. Satisfying with Material theme and got rekt

Not the best way to do it but... The Asus Rom comes with 2 pre installed themes: fresh green and lovely pink. So what I did was I've replaced lovely pink apk with material theme apk from Google play. For that you need root permissions. The downloaded themes from Google play are in data/app and stock themes in system/priv-app.

how you root with new firmware os ? can u give me specifik link or tutor maybe... thnks bedman77

You can look in the general section of zenfone 2 the resource thread for methods to root your phone. But if you don't know what you are doing you can loose a lot more in the process and all this for a theme... Don't think it's worth it.

This phone is going backwards from good to bad. The more Asus updates it, the more I went from having a best phone ever attitude to wanting my POS Samsung Galaxy back, at least they didn't change their base design every firmware update. Also on the .156 update (I also did a full phone restore from fastboot level) the battery is going anywhere from 10-30% an hour at random.

I was angry today when I flashed the update as the theme I was using vanished. Asus needs to fix it........

Asus changed so many things on their theme store. After the commercialization of their launcher (available on most phones running 4.3+), all themes for ZenUI are now splitted into two:
• Free version, only themes desktop
• Paid version, also themes notification bar, and others (only for Asus devices running stock ZenUI)
But, who cares about Asus' changes? Somewhat irritating, but theming is still possible with RRO. I don't use their launcher because it's a memory killer

I've taken a theme that I renamed, changed permissions and replaced the AsusLovelyPinkTheme.apk with in both the root system/priv-app AND the storage/emulated/0/system/priv-app but I still get the actual pink theme loading. I've tried to uninstall the Lovely Pink Theme but my phone reboots. I've also cleared data on the AsusThemes app beforehand and switched to it, but to no avail.
The phone has it stored somewhere else, I just can't figure out where...

I'm interested too in this solution. I have superzen installed, that does not come with lovely pink and flashgreen. So what I could do is: installing one theme from Asus theme shop, locating the folder of apk and replace it with material apk. The only problem is that I can't locate that folder!!!
Inviato dal mio ASUS_Z00AD utilizzando Tapatalk

I"ll have to get back on you guys since I don't own the phone anymore but doing that switch between themes it made material theme appear in the theme store under the name of a pre installed theme.
PS: Not sure if it's okay to suggest this but I'm wondering if replacing for ex the res folder found in the lovely pink theme apk or in the default theme apk with the res folder from the theme of your choice would do any good and then sign back the apk. To find the res folder you need to unzip the apk.
Or simply downgrading the Asus Theme app to see if it does any good .

I found a previous versions of theme apk and and put it in system/privapp where the original apk is. After rebooting the phone theme app does not work anymore (crash).

the problem there is because asus when they got rid of the support they also pushed it as a minor update not just a playstore app update so reverting back is not that simple.

after update to WW_20.20.40.164 still no hope for theme ... asus seems not respond to its complaint
