Hi
I have just been playing trying to find out if it's possible to replace certain elements of the Android OS with ones from other providers to improve certain aspects.
My main reason for doing this is that my Hero (latest Orange UK 1.5 ROM) has the HTC People Widget which only has the 1x3 option. I'm led to believe that the T-Mobile G2 has a version of the widget that offers other settings (i.e. 3x3).
So the main question is, is it possible to rip the APK from one phone and install it on another?
What I've tried so far leads me to believe the answer is "no".
I've been provided with the apk from a T-Mobile G2
I have a rooted Hero so have booted to the recovery console, deleted the version from my phone (htccontactwidgets.apk and htccontactwidgets.odex) and replaced it with the apk file provided (renamed to htccontactwidgets.apk) then rebooted. Got nothing on this attempt.
My second attempt I used the new apk with the old odex file, this time the widget returned but was still the 1x3 version from my ROM.
Has anybody successfully replaced the 1x3 widget with the improved one from the G2 ROM?

I don't really want to flash the whole phone, I'm happy with it now, i'd just like the enhanced People widget.
I'm guessing it will be standard in the official 2.x ROM.
Your missing out then
modaco 3.1 is exactly the same as the stock HTC rom only about 10x faster. I don't even find it lagging on the keyboard even on the phone keypad. You will have a much more pleasurable experience on modaco 3.1 plus you will have the 3x3 people widget

Oh ok, so there is a newer "generic" ROM than the one on my Orange-branded hero? Cool, will check that out.

hehehe. welcome to the flashing addiction!!!!
I have been on the XDA and Modaco scene for a very long time as a viewer and have partaken in flashing custom ROMs several times before but I always have the feeling at the bottom of my gut that if things go wrong I'll be devastated. The Hero is quite simply the best phone I've ever owned (I said my N95 as good and was reluctant to upgrade from that until I found the Hero) which is why I didn't want to knacker it up, but the benefits far outweigh the risks as far as Paul's ROMs are concerned.
I've read with interest people saying that the MCR 3.1 ROM is draining their battery, and I too thought this but then noticed in the "Spare Parts" app that an app I'd installed (ShootMe) was taking up a lot of processor time sat in the background, so the next charge should prove it's normally 3rd party apps that drink battery power
On a final note, just have to say I absolutely love the Dropbear SSH server, makes it so much easier to tinker with the phone being able to SSH from a desktop.
I cant say I have had problems with the battery. If anything I'm finding mine is lasting a lot longer than it used to. Charged my hero 3 days ago and its still green now. This is with using wi-fi every now and again. Auto updating rss, e-mails etc and I text a lot. Now this I find unbelievable but its true I have the stock HTC battery too. On the stock HTC F/W I was re-charging every night.

3 days??????with data connection 24/24??? how do you manage that? i only manage 18 hours with mine. of course with data connection always on, calls, im's, mails
The data connection isn't always on. Wifi is on most of the time, but that gets turned off automatically for a while. But y/day 3G was on all day and it still didn't drain much battery.
Hi,
My Evo has been rooted for almost a year now. I run the barebones ROM with V6, and I never have sense reboots. At least not yet. My wife has never permitted me to root her phone. She's always gotten a few sense reboots here and there. She was on Froyo, and this weekend, I updated her to the latest OTA. Now she gets almost constant Sense reboots. They mostly happen when she is backing out of different programs like the Browser.
I know all the tricks for rooted phones. But I pretty much know nothing about unrooted Evos, and what can be done for this problem. Is there anything that I can do to make this better? Besides rooting, that is.
Thanks
Good question about finding another solution,but i've been hearing alot about the new OTA having a few bugs,thats why i am rooted.
It's a lack of memory, so it has to end task and restart it. Try having less apps installed on internal memory, don't keep loads of messages saved and taking up memory, etc.
That's if she wants to stay with sense anyway. If she's not fussed, she could install another launcher without the need to root. Other launchers are fine, unfortunately sense's launcher is a resource hog. A good free one to try is go launcher.
Hey,
I would do a factory reset from the boot loader and have her come back and install the apps she NEEDS and uses on a regular basis, and you might want to clean up the SD card to getting rid of all those extra app folders and she should be seeing better performance if not its a glitch in the new OTA which has been reported. So you will need to wait it out or take it into sprint to get it fixed "replaced* sprint fix stuff yeah never"..
Good luck and I hope it works
If I helped please hit that thanks button!
It's more than likely a bug in the new OTA. As advised, I would try a different launcher until there are updates to the current setup. Here's a link to GO Launcher EX if you would like to use as a temporary fix while patches are made available by Sprint:
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5nYXUuZ28ubGF1bmNoZXJleCJd
Thanks for all the replies. Will Sprint actually update anymore? I keep expecting them to stop updates for the Evo. It's been EOL for a while now.
If only she'd let me root. If I could root her phone, none of this would be happening. I don't ever get Sense reboots.

If you do, may be just and update to fix this as in a patch, but don't expect ICS or anything.

Nope. I have no expectations of ICS. And even if they did give it to us, it would still have Sense 1.0 sitting on it. I'll get my ICS from here, once they get the camera up and running.
I don't think it's an OTA issue, since mine did it when brand new on 2.3.4 once I'd put enough apps on it, and it was still the same after the OTA update to 2.3.5. However it stopped completely as soon as I used a different launcher. Sense 3.0 in stock form simply takes up too much memory when it's running.
Hi, new here, not new to flashing ROMs though. I've always been able to figure out my problems out on my own or through intensive searching. Today is not the case, hence joining the forum. One of the main reason's I activated this phone recently was to voice chat with Google Hangouts and I was already paying the extra $10 a month for sprint's data usage on my previous "dumb" phone. Everything worked fine on the stock rom, I just wanted more out of the phone.
I have a Sprint HTC Evo 4g. It has hboot 2.18 so I unlocked it through htcdev. Rooted it with s-on and installed Cyanogenmod. I want to retain all the phone's capabilities so I went with the stable 7.2 after learning the drivers for 4g and the FFC aren't supported after gingerbread. All the cameras work as they should in the stock loaded camera app. I update Google talk to hangouts and when I try to use video chat, I get "Camera error." I attempted to use Tango, and the front facing camera doesn't start up either. Audio works fine for both apps. My next steps included trying CM 7.2 nightly and CM7.1; I got the same error. Through further research I found a gapps package with Google Talk with video. Updated this to hangouts, got the same error. Uninstalled the updates and tried the video chat; it worked to my surprise however, I cannot video chat with anyone who has updated to hangouts only with the original Talk app.
I've searched and searched and found references to the problem with no solution. One source even mentioned the newer apps are not compatible with some older roms, but this didn't make sense to me since everything worked on the stock 2.3.5 rom. I found one instance of a solution but the source for the fix is no longer in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22735475&postcount=989
Any advice? Any way to log when the front camera fails? I really want to stick with a stable rom, preferably CM.
Just tried the Thundershock rom and I get the same error... I'm wondering if I should just chalk it up to the apps not supporting older roms. OR, I'm flat out missing something....

Bump.
Still no luck with CM7. I tried Digital Karma V9 and the camera works in Hangouts, but Hangouts fails to load (force close error) after I do anything else on the phone after a fresh reboot.... CaptainThrowback's rooted stock rom works perfectly, but the rom is lacking in customization. I'm guessing I could mod it to my taste but I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this whole ordeal. Only in a perfect world, I can have everything, huh?
For now, I have opted to go with CM 7.2 until I can play different ROMs some more. I may not have any time this weekend like the past weekend so I just need a basic functioning phone for the time being...

Running Classic rom with some success as long as I don't reboot the phone. Otherwise I get the same error as in DigitalKarma. Simple fix is to uninstall and reinstall the Hangouts update. Not a Sense fan though...
Still un-answered...
Well, I've went with Skype (modified by theoso) on CM7.2 since it seem to be the only ROM to really cater to me. ADW launcher, absolutely stripped down, etc. Skype works as a compromise to ROM choice and Hangouts. I'd say I'm happy to have something rather than nothing. Especially for a phone whose forum support is a thing of the past.
Miui 11 Closed Beta 9.9.24
Link : https://hugeota.d.miui.com/9.9.24/miui_MI8_9.9.24_4d86fc4349_9.0.zip
Awesome. Thanks!
Be Aware that this is a Chinese beta rom. Unless you are familiar with westernizing Chinese Roms, you may want to wait for the Xiaomi.EU version that should come out ASAP.
If you install this, install Google chrome, and Google search through the Xiaomi store, then you can install Play Store and freeze all unwanted apps. If it's not in the store , it can be downloaded from any APK website.
Glad that Miui 11 is finally here bust isn't It annoying that Xiaomi makes most of us, the western world wait so long for the best features?
I have been using Xiaomi.EU for the past two months and it's been fantastic. Yesterday I installed the latest Global Stable 10.3.5 and it's like going back to March. It is missing A LOT! of stuff that the Chinese Beta Miui 10 per Xiaomi.EU has.
I would definitely wait for the release of Xiaomi.eu. It will be polished, without the bloatware and with the Play Store and Google Services already included. In three days, we should have a Update on the website.
I have tried Pixel Experience( Android 10 ) on the MI 8, and it's good, but it's far, very far from the functions that we have with our MIUI.

What functions for example? Miui is ugly af and I don't think there are actually many useful, not gimmicky, features that make it worth using Miui over other custom rom. Also from what I am seeing, Miui 11 is still based on Android 9.

First I like AOSP a lot , and noone is making you use Miui, so.......
a quick google search would have told you that Miui 11 for the Mi8 is based on Android Q edit : it pie for or now but will switch to Q
It's been well publicised that its totally redesigned and will have a look and feel closer to OneUI. Yes, devices older than 4 years will get Miui 11 on their existing SDK. The Mi8 will get Q
By the way, since you hate Miui so much why bother commenting?
It seems that your post serve's zero purpose and simply just clutter's up the thread. A lot of people feel the same way about AOSP, that it's boring and bland, so your point is what exactly ?
Also, so many people install AOSP, and then immediately start installing Xposed, Substratum, Custom lock screens, ultimately making it closer to what Miui is. At the end of the day, nothing is better than anything else.

Why so abrasive? I was making a genuine question. From all the videos I've seen, and the dipper group in Telegram, this version of MIUI 11 is based on Pie.
I do not use any kind of modifications other than custom roms, I don't even root anymore so for me all those functions you are claiming (which I was asking out of curiosity) seem completely unnecessary and gimmicky in my opinion.

It seems that I misunderstood your initial comment, which I took as being abrasive and if that wasn't your intent then I absolutely apologize.
Okay so I installed Miui 11 and its flat amazing, its hard to believe that this is the first beta! tremendously smooth. The animations and scaling down of Miui makes it seem almost like something else. I was very happy to see that all of my data was restored, and I was able to install Playstore and Play Services from the miui App Store.
Next yes its based on Android Q, ( My bad its Pie, but Q is coming) and so far I have no plans to use anything else. I like it, alot. If you plan to install. Be sure to turn off automatic updates, this way you can control when they get installed and there's is no surprises. I am using the latest official Twrp and the latest Magisk Canary, and I flashed DM verity and Magisk prior to booting. One last thing, I formatted user data, wiped and rebooted my phone prior to installing the rom within recovery.
Edit:
If you do not have an extensive mI cloud backup, install Gboard or your keyboard of choice as soon as you can. Otherwise you may get confused by the multi language keyboard.
For me it's no big deal because I have used Chinese roms many times in the past and speak basic chinese. However, it is possible to click a button and move the keyboard into chinese if this happens just click the chinese character on the bottom left to return to English. You will not run into these issues if using swiftkey or Gboard. Next, after you have signed in to Google and have verified your apps, you can use a different launcher if wanted and install app freeze to install any unwanted apps.
Be sure to attempt uninstalling unwanted apps before freezing them, some are easily uninstalled. Finally, I have not seem a single ad. Dark mode works extremely well and so does the themes store. Be sure to format to avoid issues. Make sure that you use root, this is a beat do not expect things like Google pay , or whatsapp to work, maybe they will work I don't know. My cellular service gets LTE, I can send and receive text, and I can use Hangouts.
Awesome job mate. That's really cool. The description you gave and the steps provided, helps a lot.
Yes, not all of us understand Chinese, so it will be difficult to read what they say , but still, I will wait for the launch on Xiaomi.eu, even though, I know that Root was already working on Android 10 since a few days ago.
What bugs have you encountered so far? You say that Mobile Data works, Calls and SMS. Dark Mode, and apparently everything.
What about the Camera? Are there any big differences?
Now, replying to @Kurz97 : Do you wanna know why I bought a phone with a MIUI interface? Because I like it. Don't get me wrong, I worked with AOSP a lot of time, and the beauty of Pure Android. Pay attention, Pure, means Pure, no mods, no changes in the UI, just plain simple. Only changes are Root, Adaway, and that's it.
Second, there are plenty of Rom's to choose from for MI 8, most of them, based on AOSP and the changes that the developers enable. I have tried as said before, Pixel Experience, and it's gorgeous. I really love the transition from the recent apps, and it's a very smooth Rom as well. But the fact that I can choose to have a MIUI based Rom or a AOSP it just makes it so much better.
In the past, I owned a Nexus 6p, and guess what? There was no MIUI for it. I was stuck with AOSP. So for me, the fact that I can choose from two distinguished interfaces, it's always better than being stuck to just one, isn't it? Have a good day

I came here to tell you know that it's Q. However, I was going to attach a screenshot and it is in 9 WTF. Okay, I just found out from the Mi Forum that this initial and maybe the next few releases are 9. However, Q is definitely coming once the wrinkles gets ironed out. Apparently there are a lot of problems Q right now.
@ eternitys : I was certain that I saw 10 under Android Version, I don't know how I messed that up. Q is coming and this build is still worth seeing. but it is a hassle to get working. However, it is working flawlessly with Google services once I froze the Xiaomi services. Maybe wait for Xiaomi.EU

Be sure to first uninstall chinese apps, then freeze some of the Xiaomi updater services.. This is done most easily with App Quarantine.
Next,download and install all google apps that you typical use and give them all permission and at least temporarily turn off battery manager. I did this and will supposedly get 12 hours SOT in regular mode.
For contact you need to ad your Google account, it's in settings.
