Moving apk from one rom to another - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying to figure out how to move the HTC Rosie from Express X to Nitrous Rom for looks. Unfortunately I seem to be missing something. I am renaming them zip and extracting them. I then take the res folder from Express X and place it in Nitrous. I rezip and then sign using zipsigner. I have tried signing as auto-test,auto,platform and shared. I did get it once to force close. Would someone be nice enough to tell me where my errors are?

Don't know for sure about the rosie, but I think it is in the system/app folder. This is how I used to move apps into my Roms.

Express X Rosie is a sense 3.0 Rosie and nitrous is a sense 1.0 rom. I don't believe the Rosie will transfer over

Well,I have been doing it a little differently but basically we are getting the same results. I use Root Explorer to move the apk into the system/apps,rename to match what I am replacing,fix permissions and reboot. On the chance it is an apk such as Phone then after placing into system/apps I pull the battery,reboot to recovery,fix permissions and reboot.

Express,at least the version I pulled the Rosie from,is built off Android 4.54. Nitrous is built off Android 4.67. Also there are Roms out there based off 4.67 running Sense 3.0. Not sure how much it matters as long as the things needed to make it run are present. Somewhere I am missing 1 or more of those things. Unfortunately I am not very sure where to look for them.

Any gb sense out with a battery% mod

I pretty much want a plain ginger with a battery% and removed bloatware

Mik's GingerSense ROM has a batt % mod. It is running Sense 2.1 however, not 1.0,,,
Yeah looking for one with everything working I have a epson so my screen doesn't stay bright

nothing with everything working. gingerbread with sense isn't available for the device yet (besides the less-than-exciting leak) so people have to reverse engineer the drivers. it's almost impossible to reverse engineer the drivers like hdmi and 4g (both of which just got completed for cm7, at the end of a 4 month project). so yeah that's why.
cm7 sux tho i tried 4-5 tmes to give it a shot the honeybread was half tolerable but the widgets in sense make it worth while besides i tried the final and rc2 worked a 100x better than that did
Well pretty much everything in the leak is working just doesnt have a bat % mod and bloatware removed omj has everything removed but no bat mod which drives me nuts. And idk if any of the regular mods would work with it.

try doing it yourself. not very hard. just install the rom, pull and decompile or open (7zip style) the framework-res.apk, and add in battery percents, either by copying the .png's from another mod or just making them.
wellllllll here you go
theres allot of GB sense roms that are working with the leaked 1.0 sense version for the evo this is the leak with battery percent moniter

or i could do it for you if you want. if you send me your framework-res.apk, i'll get it done by the end of the weekend. i realized it takes some decompiling and .xml editing, and that's a little harder than just 7zipping the .png's in.

Removing sense

Is it possible to completely remove sense UI for a sense Rom to become aosp? I recently used a desensify script on a Rom but sense is still there. I'm guessing rosie is no longer there, I'm using another launcher now. The widgets and lockscreen are gone too. The contacts, messages, camera, and other behind things are still there.

Why not just run a aosp rom if that's what you're trying to achieve anyway?

I've had problems with video chatting on other aosp roms. I figured I'd have a better chance in removing sense on a Rom that video chatting does work on.

You can remove sense. If you do this, you'll have a 'senseless' ROM. You have to put a launcher on it and you'll need to find alternative widgets, etc.
I used to do this. I liked that I could have whatever launcher I wanted but still have the sense camera and dialer.
Also, the ROM flies even faster once you get little miss Rosie out of the picture...
BTW, the only aosp that I've tried with functioning Skype is miui.
But nowadays I stick to Sense ROMs mostly

First install a third party launcher set it as default then with root explorer go to system\apps and delete rosie that's it
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
After I had installed my launcher of choice, I used a file explorer to clean out the ROM as I saw fit.
I doubt its truly necessary to clean out anything deeper than apk's.
Delete Rosie and the sense Widgets basically.

So nothing deeper than apk's. Why is that? Just curious. Also what I I wanted to use an aosp version of something? Would I just replace the apk's? So this would be considered "senseless" right?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Well I checked via root explorer and I didn't find rosie or the widgets. I guess after running that program I mentioned earlier it removed them. Now I just to delete any lingering ones, if they're any.

Well I believe better battery life but I have yet to test it. I think less memory or RAM is used but don't quote me on that. The more knowledgeable people might answer that. This is what I got with light use and being on WiFi the while time. I'm going to try to moderate use and on 3g to see what I get.

I meant more in the line of if any of the other functions of the phone change. If I remove rosie, for instance, will HTC's dialer still work the same, will I be able to use HTC's People app, etc., or will those things not function without rosie?

Skyraider Zeus Mod

Ok, someone tell me if this is feasible/possible.
I'm thinking taking SRZ and replacing the lock screen from a sense 2.1 ROM, and swapping them. I like sense 2.1's lock screen better, so that's why I'm thinking about it, but I really like the tweaks available in SRZ.
Thanks to any help.

From what I remember from the Inc1 days, the Sense 3 lockscreen is tied to a bunch of other system apps so you can't just swap them, but you could always try. I would just push the apk from nitsuj's ROM.

Yeah, I was thinking it'd be tied in pretty deep. My second question is what all would I have to change in order for me to have a fully sense 2.1 ROM with SRZ settings?
You would have to change (at least):
Settings.apk
HTCPersonalize.apk
HtcLockscreen.apk
PSCII.apk
Weather.apk
WeatherProvider.apk
Mms.apk
Maybe that's all?

I guess more of what I was asking is just SRZ with 2.1 lockscreen.
Then just Personalize, the Lockscreen, and maybe something else. IDK.

TouchWiz on Jellybean??

When Samsung puts out the Jellybean update for the S III, Will it come with touchwiz UI? Cause it came stock with TW on 4.0 so I was just wondering. Also can you get the touchwiz launcher on any of the JB roms out now?

Let me upload it to a different server. I'm not compltely sure about tw launcher. Everytime i am about to try it a newer version of current rom would come out. Now im back on tw rom. I will post the link tomorrow. If launcher doesnt work i will remove from the zip. I was also planning on trying the one that was in sgs2 forum when i still used it.
Not matter what i'll Let ya know. Maybe If all works well well can trying to get a dev to make a cm10 tw rom. Lol

Have you actually tested any of these on CM10/AOKP, or did you just pull the APKs from stock? Because I'd be very surprised if they worked outside of a TouchWiz based ROM.

Someone posted these a while back. I just hung on to them. Most of them are not them actual tw verisons but they are nearly identical in every way.
I only used a select few: svoice, memo and task manager.
I have tried everything i could possibly think of and everything tw launcher i could find and they only work only ics. (cm9). Havent found one that works only jb (yet). Still searching. And i will see if i can find someone to make one from them i9300 jb leak.

[Q] Scrolling Wallpaper - JB Sense based ROMs

Hey there,
why is there no wallpaper scrolling anymore? Can somebody mod Sense to set a scrolling Wallpaper?
Is there a workaround?
HTC removed it. No workarounds yet, and I checked myself: those lines of code that were used to do it on previous sense versions (3.x) are not there anymore.

But in Sense 4.0 it was possible
Thx for the quick answer.
Is any dev working on it? //Hopefully some notice this thread...
Could someone/you explain to me where i can find the section there this lines of code standed and how they looked like?!
Are there any tutorials for modding sense?
Is there a possibility to change the way you scroll? Right now it's kinda cubic, my sister is bagging me to remove that.
Even though i don't know how to program for android, i would atleast want to try it out. //C++ knowledge, Java and JavaScript basic knowledge
Android roms have 2 kind of files to edit : xml and smali
Some of them are hidden in M10 files.
But don't panic you can use the very practical tool from Virtuous Ten to explore the green robot world,I would begin with framework.apk

Where exactly did you saw this lines of code? I was searching for those lines because I would like to try to mod sense by myself. I'm new to this kind of stuff so i would appreciate some help. If you could point me the file in res folder for sense 4.0 where this lines are still there I would be very grateful.
Just install lyapota's mod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114584 there's an option to return it
