what location am i replacing into on justin's build? system/apps?
edit: nope still can't get the damn gmail too. everything else working fine. sigh ;(
Let's say i want to forget the gmail app. Are there any themes I can install for Nova launcher that will do the inversion in the sms and phone?
Also if I want to downgrade to 4.1.2 do I have to flash gapps or jst the 4.1.2 apk (which is what I've been doing-the latter by force installing 4.2 through titbackup and then installing the 4.1.2 apk)?
Can I just flash a standalone gmail 4.1.2 and then the inverted?

I am using tasks 4.2.1 update and it works fine. You need to download the stuff from the JusTUNbean post. It's a step1 an step two file. Only problem I am having is non inverted Calendar.

Just extract them and manually place the apk's.

AOSP browser is IMO the best browser for android by miles.
Just quick question for you.....I like to change roms about once a week. Can I remove the stock HTC browser apk from my Rom zip and place this apk in there or would I have to flash your zip as I have just done?

yup

ok tried some stuff myself...
seems to work.
to lazy ppl who dont wanna go to recovery to do such a simple thing:
1)just push the apk to system/apps and rename the odex and the apk of the sense browser to odexb and apkb
2)give it 664 premissions(-rw -rw -r) and reboot) have fun
3)oh and dont forget to delete the browser data and cach in all apps.or it will just force close.
works great so far.(few mins of testing(flash works fine)
thank you for the apk!
finally a normal tabbing experience(not the horrible 3d thingy with the x to exit...) now i just hope no ota problems.(i think what i did is revertable...)

I didn't overwrite it so I guess I'm fine with other even though I'm stock.
Just delete and rename again...
and of course I man stock... If I was non stock I wouldn't need any ota updates I like it manually.
I keep the stock only cos I want sense 5 when it comes...

Thanks a lot. I've been looking for a good stock browser for quite a while now with no success.

[Q] Selected launchers won't start on fresh install

Hi all,
It's been a while since I've come across a problem that Google couldn't help me with, and my search skills have not turned up any results...so I'm turning to the community again.
I recently decided to try out some Jelly Bean roms on my Desire after being a long time MildWild user. The rom that I found best suited was CyanoMod007 (JB 4.2.2 | Int2Ext+ | A2Ext+) [STOCK | CM7] [v21 | 19/05/13]. However this uses the trebuchet launcher which is a bit too slow for my liking.
I experimented with Apex launcher, essentially removing Trebuchet from the zip file and inserting Apex in its place and that worked fine.
However, I also wanted to try Nova Launcher and Smart Launcher. Following the same procedure as with Apex, I went through and reflashed my device, but in both these instances, Nova Lanucher and Smart Launcher failed to start.
I'm not sure why this is the case, as far as I could tell they should be working properly, but all I seemed to get was the popup telling me "Unfortunately, xxx Launcher, has stopped."
Could anyone shed some light on the situation?

Did you set the right permissions?

Why reflash the rom just to install a launcher?
Install the launcher of your choice normally with the apk, or if you want it to be a system app you can use a root file explorer to place it into system/app. Also change the permissions to rw-r-r.

To be honest with you I didn't realise you had to set permissions before adding a new apk. Whenever I've made my own modifications to roms I've always just swapped the apks out of the zip before sending it over to the phone to install.
I'll try to dig up a thread with some instructions.

Well, I went from an old Gingerbread rom to Jelly Bean, so I had to flash the rom. Once I got setup with jelly bean and saw it worked I thought it would be the best time to experiment with rom changes before I download all my apps and contact info etc so I've been making changes to the rom zips and installing them to see what works and what doesn't.
---Quick Edit---
After looking into the issue some more, I've managed to hack together a solution, though I'm not sure if this will cause issues down the line. It seems to be working fine at the minute.
Basically, I installed the rom with Apex, downloaded Smart Launcher and Titanium Backup, set Smart Launcher as the default launcher and removed Apex with Titanium.
While this does seem to work, I'm still trying to find some information regarding apk permissions when adding them to a zip file and why the apk wouldn't work from a fresh install, so by all means any comments on that front would be welcomed.

Any time you move an apk to /data or /system manually, you have to set rw-r-r permissions. You should just install the ROM and then use cmd or filemanager to replace Trebuchet with Apex or whatever launcher you want. Simply refrain from adding apks to pre-install zip files.
Why uninstall with Titanium when you can simply delete from /system/app? I think Titanium causes problems on some JB roms...

I initially tried to go to /system/app using Estrong File Manager before opting for Titanium as I wasn't sure if it would cause problems. However, when searching with the file manager I didn't find any apk's. Could this have been because I did it while the system was mounted i.e. phone turned on?
Apologies for what may seem like basic questions / understanding, but as you can see from my join date I've only had an android device from September of last year and the truth is after following the Noob proof everything guide for the HTC Desire and installing my MildWild gingerbread rom I never experimented with anything until now.

That means that whatever File manager you're using doesn't have root capabilities. Try root browser https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree&hl=en and you'll be able to access anything in / .
For some managers there is an option to mount system r/w. Try that too.

Yup, you were right, the issue was I wasn't running the file manage with root mounted. Once I enabled the mount system r/w setting I had access to the apks.
So with that sorted I'm guessing that for future tests the best way of making edits to roms would be to install the rom, then using the file manager (un)install apks as I choose?

Well yeah. It takes more time than editing zips, but you won't usually get problems unless you delete an important apk.

Tutorial:
Force Stop Email, and Clear Data.
Using Root Explorer (or something like it), go to /system/app and rename EmailGoogle and Exchange2Google apks and odex to EmailGoogle.apk.backup and Exchange2Google.apk.backup, etc (always important to have a backup that way you don't F everything up), or
Move the attached files to /system/app [ if you are running CM10.1, you should download the Email2.apk and Exchange2.apk, if you are running stock then you should download Exchange2Google and EmailGoogle apks. Basically, you are downloading the one that matches the naming nomenclature in your ROM. Its not ****ing rocket science. ]
Set permissions to rw-r-r-
Reboot device
Note: You will have to allow activation additional security permissions when Email asks for it. But you should not be required to encrypt your device or set a PIN. Also, you will have to reload all your email info after this.
As always: for educational purposes only, can get you fired, jailed, tortured, etc. Use at your own discretion.

[Q][SOLVED][Slim Bean Stable1] SMS problem, no split messaging

OK so i have the Sprint version, S G Nexus with Slim Bean, stable version toroplus.4.3.build.1-OFFICIAL-901
I'm having an issue with the themed MMS.apk
I just rooted this phone for the first time, i know what I'm doing btw.
When after reaching the limit to split, it won't split. It just stops typing. The counter above the send arrow just stays at 0(zero) I have to send it and continue my message.
QUESTION: Is there a quick fix for this?
I haven't re-installed the ROM, I will shortly.
I appreciate any help, its not a big issue but if it can work, that would be awesome. Thanks
----------------------
INSTRUCTIONS ON SOLVED ISSUE
----------------------
Ok os what i did was backup my current Slim Bean ROM, then i flashed CM 10.1.3 (4.2.2) stable, went into /system/apps/mms.apk, copied it. I restored my backup, deleted the old mms.apk from /system/apps i copied and pasted the new one, i didnt install it or anything, just copy and paste. went into recovery to wipe cache and Dalvik cavhe. rebooted, SUCCESS.
Now i should have thought about Going on STABLE 2 Slim Bean before trying all this, lol.

Open up settings in Messaging. There should be a tick box or some setting to dictate message splitting. Alternately, replace the Mms.apk with one from another ROM if that one doesn't have the setting for it.

There is but it don't work. I tried unistalling mms.apk without success, I was using System App remover, I've always used it with my Epic 4G Touch (S2).
I cleared cache force stopped and disabled, no success.
Any other app I can use to remove system apps?

When I replace an apk I do this. Pull the new apk from whatever ROM you're taking it from, delete current Mms.apk with something like Root Browser, move new Mms.apk to /system/apps/, fix permissions, reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot. See if that works.
Edit: You don't install the apk. You have to actually replace the new one with the old one in /system/apps/. Do this with an app like Root Browser using the steps I listed.

Tried with 2 different ROM mms.apk both wouldn't open the app after reboot.
I will try other things, will post if any success, thanks.
