[Q] increase max number of windows in browser on rooted phone?

My Desire limits max number of browser windows to 4, and does so on every ROM I've tried. I'm rooted - is there any hack I can apply to increase this? I know Dolphin HD and other browsers don't have this problem but I kind of like the HTC browser apart from this issue.
Anyone found a fix?

it's hardcoded in the browser (com.android.browser.TabControl.canCreateNewTab())
shouldn't be a big deal to increase it
which rom are you currently using?

Moved to Q&A.
On hero, it was limited to 4 tabs in sense, but on CM6 base, I have roughly 8 open in the background all the time. I reckon you could hack the above value, not sure how well the sense browser would perform...

how would you edit this? hex editor?

Can I bump this? Wanna know this as well. Is it only for rooted device?

Yes it would be for a root device only.

S'ok, no-one seems to have worked out how to do it on rooted devices either...!

8 tabs like on AOSP ROMs would be excellent. 4 tabs limit is with Sense ROMs and it is too few for my usage too.

Please find here the result of my homework given by The GREAT MASTER snq- !!!
Base on the Browser.apk you have in AuraxTSense 7.6.1, this one will allow you to go up to 15 tabs !
(It's now hard coded at 32, but after 15 I got an Out of memory... should be enough anyway)
For that first time, it is zip-aligned, but not signed.
So I will assume that you know what do with (push with adb, in recovery if you don't have S-OFF).
As soon as I learn to make a flashable zip, I will update it.
Enjoy !!
Or just feel free to insult me if it doesn't work flawlessly for you...
Edit: backup your bookmarks, just in case...
Edit2 : finally no prob with bookmarks
EDIT 3 : updated .apk (back to original png for back and forward)

... Testing.
That works perfect on HTC 2.2 with root! Over 12 tabs now opening fine in the browser. I just removed the odex file and everything worked. It requires 300-400KB ish more than the stock browser. Thank you guys

The stock Browser.apk was 788KB and the one you attached that I installed was 1095KB. I don't mind
The browser would just crash at the start until I removed Browser.odex. Ever since, it works perfectly.

to /data/app ?
wasn't the original in /system/app ?
this what i use to install :
- mounting /system/app r/w with Root Explorer, and checking Browser.apk is there
- then following with adb :
Code:
adb push ATS_Browser_zipaligned.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
adb reboot
...
working fine on mine

ATS_Browser_zipaligned.apk 1 121 159

[Keyboard mod] HTC_IME.apk without arrows - Now with landscape

Hi this is my mod for Sense 4 htc stock keyboard to remove the arrows, on portrait and landscape modes, but only for english language for the landscape mode
enjoy
push via adb
D:\ADB>adb remount
remount succeeded
D:\ADB>adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
1126 KB/s (4178147 bytes in 3.623s)
D:\ADB>adb reboot
definitly works on Insert Coin 5 , but should work on any rom 1.28 , 1.29

Great job! Nobody uses those arrows anyway!
Although for some reason my entire keyboard is gone after pushing. Might as well be a writing mistake so I'm double checking everything now (It isn't in the settings list either.)
repushed and tried to copy-paste with es explorer, but still no keyboard appearing. (Yes, I did reboot)
Pushed the original HTC_IME.apk (taken from ARHD) and everything is working again.
Which ROM are you using? I'm on ARHD 3.0.0

Im using Insert Coin 3.2.0 , 1.28.401.9 base, I ll just check I uploaded the right one, ARHD is on 1.28.401.9 as well so i dont see why it shouldnt work.
EDIT: it is the right .apk , try this , push the file, reboot , go straight to text messaging , compose, Tap on the text edit box, google TTS appears , Tap text edit box again google TTS disappears, and then Tap text edit box again, keyboard should appear,

Updated first , finally got Landscape mode finished

Good Work, but it didn't work for me on stock (rooted) Rom. The Sense Keyboard is gone, it doesn't even show up in the Settings...

I not to sure how to mod a odexed apk, ill look in to it, but if you are rooted, you could try removing HTC_IME.apk and HTC_IME.odex , (back them up first) with root explorer , and either pushing, or use root explorer to copy / paste

Great job!

Omg please somehow make this work for the lte one XL , I would love you if you did. Because I love HTC ime but those damn arrows just take.up too much space!!

SGS3 themed Accuweather widget

Hi everyone,
----Attention to anyone on CM9 wanting to use this package-----
The zip seems to be causing some trouble with CM9 and some users have reported having boot loops after flashing (only on CM9)
If you are on CM9 and want to use the package please push the files across manually to where they need to be.
eg. /system/app and /system/etc read page 2 of this thread for detailed instructions.
**************Update 08/06/2012**************************
Another new update v1.2.1
fixed CWM package file...
added some permission xmls from touchwiz roms, and some libs etc. Hopefully will fix the problems some have been having again with the package.
Link updated below in downloads.
**********
Sorry to those of you who are on a CM based rom who weren't able to get the zip to work, I've updated the zip so it should work on CM, I am unable to test as I'm not on a CM rom so can someone please check it for me and let me know? Thanks.
Download link updated below.
ps. 100 downloads in less than a day!
***********************************************
I like many others have been working hard to port the SGS3's lovely widgets, but like everyone else, I haven't had any real luck ripping them, it seems samsung worked hard to make these ONLY available on the SGS3, but I guess it is just a matter of time until someone is able to port them.... hopefully
Until that time, I decided the next best thing would be to use the SGS2's ported accuweather widget and theme it with the nice images from the SGS3 widget
The background image is semi-transparent and changes depending on daytime/night time/cloudy weather
Have a look at screenshots
Daytime -
Night time -
Cloudy -
Installation
Copy zip file to phone
Then reboot into CWM and flash this file.
Clear dalvik cache
Reboot and enjoy
**If you already have either the digital clock widget or the sgs2 accuweather widgets installed, I would suggest to do a backup with titanium (just in case you want to revert to your old one) and then uninstall them**
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?r90ug8t219kd5sk
If you are happy with the app please hit the thanks button
And if you are really really happy feel free to buy me a beer / donate
In the zip, there is also a digital clock widget, with the number images from the SGS3 ported over too

Can you tell me which rom are you using, maybe you can try to manually put the files in /system/app and set permissions to 0 , 0 then r-w, r, r,
Did the install with CWM say it was sucessful or not?

Yes it should work fine on JW4.
However as you are on a Touchwiz based rom you might be able to get the real sgs3 widget to work from Twics latest 1.5.1 update see here it is a big pack which adds on a lot of content to your phone and changes icons etc. if you dont want all that stuff I can edit his CWM package if you want so it just includes the widgets...
Here is the link, http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4dwy7yvy5ekhj7i
I edited out all the other stuff and you just have the new touchwiz launcher and the sgs3 widgets. Just put the file on your phone and flash with CWM, I can't guarantee it will work, but if you are on a samsung rom your chances are better than the rest of us I think, let me know how it goes.

New zip added to OP for those of you who are using CM roms, sorry the last zip seems to have only worked for some people, this one should work for everyone fingers crossed.

Yeah but... Touchwiz is... just touchwiz ^^'

It's atm not working for me too. I manually copied these two .apk Files to the /system/app Folder. After that i have wanted to change the permissions but i guess i failed that way...the permissions seem to be basically accurate... Help me guys please

I have just updated the file in the OP, version 1.2
now includes added touchwiz permission xml files and some lib files to system.
Hopefully with these added files it will work for everyone.

I use an app from the market called 'super manager' download that and go into the 4th tab to the file manager, once you are in the file manager choose 'back up level folder' up the top of the list, choose this until it takes you back to / (which is root) up the top you should see '/ (r/o)' then go to system, (when going into system it will ask you if you want to modify the file system, it will give you three options 1. do nothing 2. read only, and 3. r/w choose R/W. Now you are in the system folder of your phone, but be careful here because if you change something without knowing what you are doing you could have big problems.. ok now go into app folder and find your file, it will be near the bottom, it is called accuweather.com and under that it will say 'samsungwidget_weatherclock.apk'.
Once you have found the file choose the tick box next to it, now down the bottom of the screen you will see a list of icons; home, copy, cut, paste etc. now slide across to the right and you will see 'attribute' the icon has 777 on it.
Ok now where it says owner: set this number to 0
and where it says group: set this number to 0 as well.
under that you will have your permissions.
you can set owner to read, write, and execute
you can set group to read, write, and execute as well
and you can set other to read, write, and execute as well
it will also work if you just have owner as r-w-- group as r---- and other as r---- but try the above settings first to see if that works for you.
Now you just have to reboot and your widget should install properly
I will assume that you are on a rooted rom though?
And please try the new version 1.2 in the opening post too
Let me know if you have any troubles

[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.

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!

[APK] Use The Galaxy Gear Without a Samsung!

Hey guys this is my very first dev thread.
This is a thread on how to get your Galaxy Gear working with any phone on the market running Android 4.2.2 and up! (haven't tested below that)
You will need all the files in order to make this thing happen.
DOWNLOAD
There should be 23 files
Everything works except for:
1. SAMusicProvider_signed.apk (HTC One does not have the stock Samsung Player)
2. Notifications
No others.
You need to put 'GearStub.apk' into the directory '/system/app' and set the permission of the .apk to 0644.
Install like normal apk if not rooted but preferred to be installed as system app. Credits to @home for pointing this out.
Reboot and install all the other 22 apks manually (SORRY!)
After you have finished set up your Gear normally.
On the first opening of the Gear Manager a popup should come up saying that 0/20 is being installed and you can just ignore that. Kill the app and reopen if the problem is reoccurring (PM me if you still have a problem).
There should be 18/20 which will install 2 of which won't work because it requires a Samsung app.
If there is no problem after 10 seconds or so then select manual connection and that should be pretty straight forward from then on.
This has been extracted from a Galaxy S4.
Ver 1.5.120903
If you have any Problems don't hesitate to ask
Tested on the HTC One, Nexus 5.
Tested on Stock Rom, CM Rom, PA Rom, AOSP Rom
OP. Will be continuously updated as I have not tested this extensively. Please report bugs.
If you want to uninstall just remove the 'GearStub.apk' from that directory and unistall the other 22 normally and reboot...

Can you get this on a fully stock HTC One>>>>

I don't think so but you could try you need root access to add system apps.

CORRECTION
Just tried it out installing it as a normal apk works fine but it would be better to put it into system apps

I am on Viper and I have it working pretty well, still trying to work out a few small issues. I flashed the null rom and followed the guide for installing the gear apps on my phone. Camera is working great, I just need some better notifications as I haven't got the gear notifications working yet.

Working out some kinks rn for the notifications I will update it soon

When I started I was on 5.5, but I have since updated to 5.7 and it didn't cause any issue with my Gear. The only thing I have noticed since I installed all the gear software on my HTC is that I occasionally get some issues with my application drawer icons or blinkfeed headlines not being drawn correctly but it's a very minor issue.

setting 0644 permission to file on HTC ONE M7
Hello, I'm trying to follow your instruction, but I cannot find a way to set 0644 permission to GearManagerStub.apk
I'm using Total Commander to change properties and RW but the file permissions remains at 0660.
How could I easily set the permission to 0644 ?
Thanks
