Finally, a theme for Roger's HTC Dream Owners

Guys, I've got the Hero theme (created by Soulife) running on my Roger's Dream:
Actual Image of phone (i know you would want proof):
​
Some screen shots taken with ddms:
​
Instructions:
(Of course what you do with your phone is on you, blah blah blah so don't blame me if something goes wrong)
1. Get root on your RD (Roger's Dream)
2. Download the soulife's Hero theme for Roger's Rom
Media Fire Download Link
3. rename the download to "update.zip" and place on the root of your SD card
4. Power your Phone off
5. While Holding down Home Button, start holding down Power button as well hold both until Rogers Logo appears
6. Make a Nandroid Backup
NOTE: if step 6 gives you an error saying sdcard not found, just try it again, mine usually give an error 2 times then works on the 3rd
7. Once the Cyan's Recovery image loads, select "apply update.zip from sdcard"
NOTE: if step 7 gives you an error saying sdcard not found, just try it again, mine usually give an error 2 times then works on the 3rd
8. Once it says done, then select the option to reboot.
The phone will reboot and may time 2 - 5 minutes at the HTC logo, this is normal. It it takes longer than 10-20 minutes use the nandroid backup to do a restore of your boot, system, and data ".img" files via adb and fastboot.

Very cool!! how is the performance? I've read some postings that say it was clunky and others saying it was fine. Right now I'm running Open Home and have a few themes for that. Sometimes it seems like it has to catch up to load the home screen but for the most part it's just as fast as stock (from what I can remember).

This works great! Make sure you install Weather Widget 2.0 to get the full effect (hero style flipper clock and weather)

Hey, just wanted to say thanks to mburris, for the post. Was a simple update to do. I suppose it's a good teaser until we got some ROM's happening on the Rogers Dream. I haven't found any significant lag with this theme myself. My biggest issue was, I was using ahome as default, and it took me about 15min to figure out how to change it from the default. Although, some settings will show up in either desktop mode, for example a different dialer (much better than the original colours)

This has already been done the rom is called MAXIMARv1.1

Update went swell. Easy as strawberry-rhubarb pie.
Some screenshots:
My only problem with the theme is the music widget is still white. Not a big deal, but maybe in an update?
Thanks a lot!

This is so very awesome. Thanks for the work!!
Update took 10 minutes
What does this all change?

It changes the artwork (probably mostly for icons) in the following apps:
AlarmClock.apk
Browser.apk
Calculator.apk
Calendar.apk
Camera.apk
Contacts.apk
GoogleSearch.apk
HTCAlbum.apk
HTCLauncher.apk
Mms.apk
Music.apk
Phone.apk
Settings.apk
Vending.apk
It changes the system images and colors in these apks:
framework-res.apk
services.jar
other than that, it doesn't change any thing

the status bar doesnt change on virtududes v3, maybe I missed something...

That’s what I thought, just cosmetic [Which I love, thanks again!] But it seems to be running smoother. I know there shouldn’t be a reason for that, but it just seems to run smoother…

Well, I am using Weather Widget Paid version.
You could also use Beautiful Widgets.
They are pretty much direct copies of the Hero widgets.
EDITED: Removed the not-so-legal bits.

thats cool but... if mikey see's that your in trouble
there will be an update to this theme later today

hey guys, quick question: how would we revert back to the original theme if we choose not to keep this one?

Cool! Thanks mburris, works exactly as described.

A few questions for a noob if someone could help.
Is rooting the Rogers Dream the same as what is posted in the how to forum?
As well as using nandroid backup and cyanogen's recovery is it all the same steps as what is posted in the how to part of the development forum?
Thanks in advance!

Is this what you want:
Here's how:
1. Connect your device via USB
2. Get to your ADB shell
Code:
G:\SDK\tools>adb shell
3. get into your system\app folder
Code:
cd system/app
4. Remove existing Music app
Code:
rm Music.apk
5. Exit the shell
Code:
exit
6. Download the attached Music.zip file, extract it to your folder that adb is in, in my example its in G:\SDK\tools
7. from a command prompt, make sure you are in your tools folder and type:
Code:
adb install Music.apk
that should do it, no reboot required

[Tutorial] Mod your Galaxy S: dock, fonts, notification bar and more!

Modify Your Fonts​
This works with any font, even if you don't have two versions of it (Regular and Bold). Just make a duplicate of the font you want to use and rename the files to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. The fonts must be True Type (.ttf)!!!
Basically you need to replace the original DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf fonts from the Samsung's /system/fonts folder. There are two ways for doing this. Both of them need a rooted phone and yes, both of them can mess up your phone:
1. The mobile way (no PC needed)
- Copy the renamed DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf to the SD Card, copy them to the Samsung's /system/fonts folder and replace the original ones, using a file manager like Root Explorer mounted in R/W
2. The noob way
You must have the Android SDK Components installed.
- Go to Settings > Applications > Development and check the USB Debugging box
- Connect your SGS via USB to your computer. Do not mount in Mass Storage Mode!
- Copy a Command Prompt Window (for Windows 7 go to Start > Search > Type CMD and right click - copy it) in the android-sdk-windows\tools folder so you don't have to type all those "cd" commands and open it. Else type cd android-sdk-windows (or whatever the folder is named) and cd tools to get there
- Type adb pull /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf and adb pull /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf. You will see that the original fonts were copied to the \tools folder. Make a backup of them!!!
- Copy the renamed fonts you want to use (I have attached the renamed Confortaa.ttf) and replace the pulled ones in the MS Windows's adb\tools folder (again, make sure you've made a backup of the original fonts)
- Type adb push DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts/ and adb push DroidSans-Bold.ttf /system/fonts/
- Type adb reboot
I have attached the default fonts too, just in case
Later today I will make a video so all these instructions can be clear for everybody. I really don't have enough time for that right now, sry
Thanks sochet84 for the original idea
3. Thanks to SLX69's finding, there are some Flip Fonts that you just need to install and apply them from Settings > Display > Font style. Some of them are attached here.
Modify Your Notification Bar​
Follow the tutorial posted here. The credits go to MacaronyMax. Thanks!
I'm currently working on moding other things like icons, menu, keyboard and I'll keep you posted.

how did you change the taskbar ? exactly the transparent like this

Modify Your Dock
Modify Your Dock​
- Type adb pull /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk You will find the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk copied to the \tools folder. Make a backup!!! Maybe you'll need to put it back later.
- Open TouchWiz30Launcher.apk using WinRAR or an equivalent application and browse to the \res\drawable-hdpi folder, within WinRAR. Do not extract it!
- Drag and drop homescreen_menu_mainmenu_bg.png from the attached WhiteDock.zip in the \res\drawable-hdpi folder and close WinRAR
- Go back to the CMD window and type adb push TouchWiz30Launcher.apk /system/app
- Type adb reboot
The result is posted below. You can modify the homescreen_menu_mainmenu_bg.png image in any way you want and please post your results here. Of course, all those repetitive steps can be automated, but for the moment I don't have time to study how to. If you have any ideas, please post them, just don't brick anyone's phones
Edit: I have attached my TouchWiz30Launcher.apk files as well, in the .zip files. Can someone please try to push them to /system/app using adb, to see if they work, even if they're not extracted from their own phone? Note that I'm using an European SGS. Not working.

Google for the Root Explorer app, instal and open it, press "Mount R/W".
Go to the system folder and long-press on it. Select "Permissions" and check all the boxes.
Do the same with the "framework" file.
Tell me if it works.

Thx a lot

it works for the font. but how to undo it? i use the 1st method copy and paste. but somehow the font seems too small for me, how to switch back the original's?

If you didn't made a backup to put them back, you'll need to reflash. Or wait a few hours for me to post them here

[GUIDE] Getting some old features back in Virtuous Sense ROMS

GUIDE: Getting some old features back
INTRO: For those who dislike some of the changes/features made to roms as they are developed and are asking how to get them back, here is a how to. It is usually a simple matter of pushing the old files from previous builds into your current rom. Keep in mind that the devs are building a rom as they see fit. As with any rom that you don't build yourself, there will always be things you want to change.
-If there is a bug, post it in the thread.
-If there is a change that you personally want, then do it yourself. Don't expect the dev, and everyone else who uses the rom, to accommodate your specific needs/wants. You may not have noticed, but you aren't the only one using the rom!
NOTE: This guide and code are meant for the virtuous sense rom, but the concept is universal. For example, if you are using some rom and the new version is posted with, say the amazon mp3 apk removed, and you want it back, refrain from cluttering up the dev's thread with a request to have it back. This is both selfish and a waste of posting space. If you are to the point of installing custom roms, you should first be able to type basic adb/terminal emulator commands to copy/delete files. In this case you would extract the amazon mp3 apk from an old .zip and push/install it into your current one. Now wasn't that easier than waiting and hoping that someone will do it for you?
NOW TO THE GUIDE:
Auto brightness mod - To revert from the auto brightness 'mod', which is far too sensitive, to the original, simply pull the services.jar and framework-res.apk from a rom before the patch, and push them to your framework folder. I've attached them to the second post for ease.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/framework/services.jar
adb shell rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push [directory of saved file]\services.jar /system/framework
adb push [directory of saved file]\framework-res.apk /system/framework
Reboot
-------------------
Keyboard mapping - The www/com key has been changed to a tab, which is good, as it was non-functional before. However the user keys have been changed too. I've modified a file which keeps the www/com key as TAB but also keeps the user keys as user assignable keys. Also attached to second post.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad.kl
adb push [directory of saved file]\vision-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout
Reboot
-------------------
Rosie auto-rotate - If you want to keep it so that rosie will only be in portrait mode with the keyboard closed, but dont want to turn off auto-rotate throughout all apps, just push the old rosie. Also attached to second post.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/com.htc.launcher.apk
adb push [directory of saved file]\com.htc.launcher.apk /system/app
Reboot

Attachments:
You need to rename "services.jar.zip" back to "services.jar" and "vision-keypad.kl.zip" back to "vision-keypad.kl". This is because the forum wont let you upload .kl and .jar extensions as attachments.

Thanks so much for this. I'll definitely be pushing the auto-brightness mod back, and I may do the keyboard, too (might let others do that one first, or see if rmk40/eViL release an update with that first).

Thanks for this!

What version of virtuous are you running? Did you rename it and remove the .zip from the end?
I'm using that exact file w/ no issues

calendar/lockscreen
Is it possible to replace the sense lockscreen/calendar with the vanilla versions? I have tried searching but can't find find any instructions for how to do this

They may help you.

Good idea with this thread. It's impossible for us to please everyone and this is absolutely the most constructive way to deal with everyone's personal preferences. There is one key consideration for everyone. If we make other changes to the frameworks which you DO want, pushing files from this thread which have not been updated with said features will eliminate those changes as well. Point is, the concept here is good but it needs to be maintained.
Also, the intention with Virtuous is to provide options. The ROM isn't finalized so ROM Manager isn't populated with all the variants it will eventually have. Case in point, we had to re-base on the new Egypt RUU and are in the process of re-applying all our changes. If we had a variety of options, we would have to redo all of those as well. Once we're in a more "final" state, you'll start to see a lot more choices officially supported with the ROM.
The keyboard mod you have here will probably just become part of Virtuous 0.8.0, by the way. I had not realized our replacement eliminated the quick key customizations (oversight).

Chances are I'm not doing it right, as I'm only about 2% oriented in using ADB, but after following the code, pushing the files, etc, the phone boots up with perpetual errors and crashes. (Phone cannot be launched, etc.)
The process in which I did it was:
Wipe the G2, install v0.7.0, update to 0.7.4, remain in recovery and use adb and followed the code you provided above. (Everything says it works, in terms of mounting, pushing, etc.)
I've also tried it where I reboot after updating, let the phone launch fully, then go back to recovery to push the mod files. Same errors occur.
The only two mods I was interested in were the auto-brightness one and the orientation one.
Any idea what I did wrong?

Well from what you are saying, it sounds like the methods are correct. Did you make sure to remove the ".zip" from the end of the services.jar.zip file?

Can this be modified to restore ".com/www" to G2's?

Yup, and I have "always show extension" enabled in folder options, so I definitely got rid of the .zip.
Maybe I'll fiddle with it a little more, see if I missed something.

All right, here's the error I get after removing the files for the brightness mod, and pushing the ones you attached in:
"The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly."
Basically the launcher is completely inaccessible, the phone remains perpetually in the settings screen because I suppose it's the only thing that it can load without the launcher. It also can't get a signal except for wi-fi, "Mobile Networks" in the settings remains unchecked, and it can't be turned on. Hahaha pretty severe for a rather simple mod.
Here's a full step-by-step of exactly what I did:
Wipe User Data, Wipe Cache
Install virtuous v0.7.0, then v0.7.4 from zip
Remain in Recovery
Open command prompt Change directory to ADB (c:\AndroidSDK\tools)
Entered the following codes one at a time:
- adb shell mount /system (mounts)
- adb shell rm /system/framework/services.jar (file removed)
- adb shell rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk (file removed)
- adb push C:\services.jar /system/framework (success 0.250s)
- adb push C:\framework-res.apk /system/framework (success 1.80s)
(I just have the files on C temporarily for the ease of it.)
Reboot
Then the errors hit once I unlock the screen.
Heheh, I can't really think of any other way to approach it. Hmmmm.

Any idea what I'd need to put back for video codecs? I'm running CM 6.1 but it doesn't run streaming videos from the NHL Gamecenter unlike the stock rom. I'm assuming its a codec issue and was wondering what I'd want to replace.

Weird, I have no idea why that won't work for you. Anyway, there is another way around it. Just open up your patch.zip (from 0.7.0 to 0.7.4), go to the framework folder, and remove the services.jar and framework-res.apk from it. Then go about the wipe/install of both zips like normal. That way the patch zip will no longer replace those two files. Anything that you don't want changed in a patch zip can just removed from it.

Sorry cant help on that one, I haven't run a CM rom since like 1 or 2.0 haha. You may try to see if others are having that problem, or if it is a known issue with the 6.1 and streaming videos. Is it only that site? Maybe a flash player version problem?

Yea, I assumed it would be out-dated soon anyway, as changes are made to your roms. I'll adjust it to keep up if the need is there though. It was just a couple of the more simple alterations that I made, and after seeing so many people cluttering up your thread with posts about them, I decided to post this.
Mostly, though, I just wanted to remind people that many simple issues/personal needs (like an app being removed from a rom, or a small change to one or two apps) can be solved with a little bit of thought and some adb knowledge - both of which should be present if you are working with a rooted phone in the first place!

[Q] placing app in system/app does not install app

Hi.
I have some apps i want to install.
I have uninstalled the weather app along with the weatherSyncProvider and WeatherProvider.
So all the posts say "copy to system/app, clear dalvik-cahce, and reboot" to install a system app.
But thats not working. So after rebooting, i went into Root Explorer and installed the Weather app. It installed successfully.
On the other hand, the WeatherSyncProvider and WeatherProvider app didnt install giving the "Application not installed" message.
I tried using adb to install it, and it gave me an error (forgot what the error said exactly) but it gave the meaning that the error was got to do with the sharedID
which is com.htc.uid.rosie. I've tired way too much, but cant get it to install.
Do i have to change anything in the AndroidManifest.xml file?
---- OH and same thing happens to HtcMusic.apk, but this gives the DEXOPT error, and the .apk had no .dex file but has a .odex file and im running a stock 2.3.3 rooted odex ROM

Root is not enough to make persistant changes to the system directory, you need S-OFF.
Oh and you should use a deodexed ROM, it will save you the hassle of deleting the odex files.

yea, i have radio and eng s-off.
i've been to many posts, read MANY solutions, but none work.
I like the odex ROMs, mostly because its more stock'ish' and i like the challenge! , but as you can see i've hit a little bump with the error that adb is giving me (DEXOPT and SHARED ID).
And if you could please...
When i get an app that is DEXed, will using the 'dexopt-wrapper' command always work to make a .odex file? -- because i used it with the sense 3.0 lockscreen and it worked but with
com.htc.framework.jar (in /system/framework/)
it didnt. -- it wouldnt even load the bootanimation, just hanged on the HTC splash screen.
Could you tell me the importance of the com.htc.framework.jar file?
Sorry if its too much questions! ... any help would be greatly appreciated!

A similar issue happened to me just a few days back. While trying to apply a Rosie patch, i just used Root Explorer to copy the new apk to /data/app_s, but for some reason that did not work.
So i then tried pushing the apk via adb, and it worked. I'm not really sure what difference this makes, but it seemed to work for me.
So maybe you could give this a try. Instead of copy-pasting, try to do a push.

i've tried both ... still not working

[Q] Does anyone have the Sense 2.1 lock screen apk?

I have rooted my phone and I deleted the sense 2.1 lockscreen. But I do not like the old froyo android lockscreen. I was wondering if anyone have a apk file for the sense 2.1 lock screen on the Wildfire S? Thank you

is that the stock style with the slide down bar, or the ring style??

It's the slide down bar (stock style). So I have 2 options-
1. Find the Wildfire S stock rom ( I can't find it)
2. Get my lockscreen.apk back

if someone could please upload the sense 2.1 lockscreen, i'm also interested, and if i install it, would it perform as the sense 3.0 lockscreen, showing missed calls and messages although it will be installed on the 2.13.201.2 stock ?

no one, it's really important

Sense 2.1 Lockscreen
Here are the files you will need to place in /system/app.
Make sure you push both of the files.

Thank you very much. But when i try to install it, all is says is application not installed. And on my sd card i deleted my systems folder a while ago.

Not possible, I made flashable zips using the cdma version.
EDIT: euro version also not working on GB 2.3.5.
What I know is the sense 3 lockscreen still contains 2.1 images and stuff, so probably it's just changing a value in an xml file to get back sense 2.1 lockscreen.

So what exactly am i suposed to do? I tried looking for just a stock rom but i could not find one. And the lock screen wont install . To be honest I did not fully understand what you said. Except for the last part.

Instructions.
You will need to have ADB installed on your computer.
If you don't already, look for a guide. I recommend you install it like this. "C:/Android"
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled.
Extract the files I provided into the folder with ADB in it.
Start ADB using the path you used to install it.
Use this code.
Code:
adb remount
adb push HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/HtcLockscreen.apk
adb push HtcLockScreen.odex /system/app/HtcLockScreen.odex
adb reboot
It should work now.

Wait for guide from benjamin, he ported it for gb 2.3.5

Wouldn't copying both the .apk and .odex from that zip provided for Dolphin to system/app suffice? Rather than trying to install the apk as what it appears you are trying to do.

I can't install java SE devolopment tool. So I can't have Android SDK.

Thanks, works like a charm! The ring locker was laggy as hell.

unematiii - can you please tell me, when you receive a phone call, which lockscreen appears the ring one or the slide one, 10x in advance
