I tried the Captivate app RoadSMS on the aria and the keyboard isn't fully displayed on the screen. It cuts off 1/4 of the right side. I know it wasnt made got the 3.2in screen but its a novelty app at best a fun to look at. Anyone else give it a go?

Hey
I've recently started to play a little with theming other peoples lovely work to fit to my phones theme
I just tried the official HTC battery widget, but after i finished my work and wanted to try it out, i saved everything, re-signed the apk, uninstalled the one that was on the phone, placed my new apk on sd card and tried to install it using a file explorer, but after i click install i get the installing screen, followed by "Application not installed", is this because it's an official htc file that it won't let me install it from other places that the add widget menu, or did i do something wrong?
Regards
Rapo
Really?
278 views and no a single one who knows the answer or don't mind to test it out you self to see if it works for you?
You can't sign system apk's with test keys. Use the same META-INF folder that was used in the original apk - copy and paste it.
I've tried both with and without resigning, and nothing worked.
It's not a system file, it's pulled from the SD Card, since it's the widget you can download xtra from the "Get more HTC widgets"
That's why I don't understand why it won't install :/
Push it through adb there should be no errors ther
Just tried pusing the apk trough adb, but didn't see any changes, so tried rebooting phone, and it just started to loop at the boot screen
So had to pull battery and make a nanRestore..
So still needs a solution for how to get the edited htc battery widget to work..
What ROM are you using? An official one from HTC or Modded?
Using SenseHero 2.1 B5.1
The normal one works without problems, but i wanted to edit the color of it to make it fit my theme
Just had a mate looking at it, who knows quite a bit more than me about this, and no matter what he tried he couldn't get it to work either.
So it seems like HTC have made their widgets copy proof
But if anyone knows a way to get around this, please let me know
Ive tried almost everything possible.
I cant seem to install Metamorph correctly because each time i install it and open the app, it closes out and says it needs more space in /system.
Im not sure what that means.
Ive tried using RootExplorer but each time i deleted a app from /system/app after a reboot it would reappear.
Any sugguestions and/or help?
I have searched in the Android forum and in here but i cant find anything that works..
If you can fix my problem please be KIND enough to share!
IF not .. read and move on! thanks!
Unless I am mistaken, at this time we are not able to use Metamorph as we do not have rw access to necessary directories.
Well that makes tooooottaalll sense!
Thanks! : )
With the new script dumfuq released it is now possible to use metamorph as I can at least go through the steps with out phone rebooting
Try it out lemme know

^^^ if metamorph is possible please someone confirm
the main issue before was the rw system . Now we can with dumfuq I have been messing around with it and still learning. But once again now that we can rw i would almost say yes. I just need a more defined tuturial for the slide metamorph personally

Have you rebooted your phone since flashing dumfuqs rw-overlay script? I an not sure if the script is perm or just a temp thing.
Aka tried opening mm and it rebooted then flashed rwoverlay and tried mm again and it was fine .

Tried both, kept force rebooting. Maybe it's the new Fenix/Nightly.
I installed Metamorph to install Darknessv2.5 theme. But whenever i run it I get an error saying "Some Files could not be extracted and set up. Please make sure you have enough free space in /system.". Attached is a screenshot.
I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this one.
Dumb question I know but are you using the cwm flashable darkness file?
Other than that try uninstalling and reinstalling metamorph. It normally does give errors but only the first time you run the app in ntt experience

Just tried and nope, same error again.
Thanks anyway tho.
Most of the time its duet o MetaMorph not extracting the zip correctly. Easiest way to fix it is you will have a folder called Android Themes under your SDCard.
Just unzip the MetaMorph on your desktop and copy the <theme name> Folder into that one on your SDCard and the error should go away.
What do you mean with "unzip the MetaMorph"? I made a folder called "Android Themes" on my sdcard and moved the theme zip in there. Still doesn't works, it's giving me the same error and I have like a 100MB free on /system.
I think he is saying to extract the fileon your computer and then move it to the themes folder on your phone
Well, the thing is Metamorph won't even run. It gives me the error when it does the initial check.
What rom are you running? I have not had any trouble with metamorph aside from the normal first install errors...always works fine the second time it is opened except for one rom I was using a while ago that also had other issues.
Yup never had an issue using MetaMorph on any ROM I've had.
And I had requested that you take the metamorph.zip (the theme) and unzip it then copy it to your SDCard.
But if it is failing right when you start the application.
Try re-installing the app.
Or go to the Metamorph form on XDA here and do some research.
Im running Cog2.3b8 (it's on my sig). And yeah I already tried reinstalling.
Anyways, thanks for the help.
Yea.. I would def go to their post and see if you can get any better luck there.
I have read a few posts about the error your getting but dunno if there is a resolution yet.

I'm having problems flashing fonts on my Thunderbolt. On my Eris and Incredible I could flash any font pack through CWM and Amon RA, respectively, but when I tried last night on my Bolt none of the fonts took. I made sure the font packs I flashed were edify fonts, but still no dice. One of my main reasons for rooting is because I hate the stock android font. Can someone please help me out with this? Thanks in advance
This is the link I got my fonts from in case anyone was wondering

Was kinda hoping for a free way and a reason why manually flashing fonts isn't working on the TB. Thanks for the app, though, if i get desperate I'll d/l it. I hope someone smarter than me can come in here and help a brotha out

I used to use these fonts, also, and could not get them to work now.......so I unzipped the file and pushed the 3 files to /system/fonts.....rebooted and I am good to go. By doing it that way, it does not matter if they are edify or amend.
Just use Font Changer, it's free AND it WORKS =P

That sounds awesome, but I don't know how to do that. I've been using font changer which is free on the market. I'd rather be able to flash them, because flashing things is great and it feeds the addiction, but this gets the job done
try typefresh on the market, only thing it does is back up and restore fonts... unfortunately requires AndExplorer to select fonts to restore but will back up all on its own... I actually like AndExplorer but use RootExplorer most of the time, AndExplorer has a more pleasing GUI however
i just used typefresh to install coconut-darkstar font (the most elegant font anywhere IMO) - worked great. was stuck at "rebooting..." after selecting the font so had to reboot manually but everything flashed fine. as posted earlier it required andexplorer but thats free in the market too.

font changer worked for me too, flashed a few different fonts to find one i liked. just do yourself a favor and hit reboot later when the app prompts you then reboot your phone via other means, the app's reboot function locked up my phone and had to pull the battery.
Anyone know what the default font for our phones are in case I want to go back?
Ok, I have searched high and low, and found nothing, I want my good old android stock keyboard in gingerbread. I have found a hundred ways of putting the gb one on everything, even a psp, but not the other way around. Can someone build an apk, or a zip to do this? I am having such trouble getting use to the gb keyboard.
So, im asking for the old default androind keyboard in the new 2.3.X
Thank you
I'm not understanding. Stock is there for me. Imputed method>gingerbread. Keyboard=stock

I think he means the keyboard that was in 2.1 (or 2.2).
Correct me if I'm wrong OP.
Yes, the one on 2.1 and 2.2. I hate this gb one, space bar is so small!

I'm thinking you could always pull it out of the 2.2 Froyo ROM zip that is around here.
Should be in system/app (I think).
You can use 7zip to pull it directly as a zip instead of unzziping, getting it and rezipping.
Once you got it, just put it on your sd card and install.
I can't promise it will work cause the framework is different on GB ROMs but it's worth a try. The worse you'll get is a "Can't install error".
Oh, I got it. And it even installs. But I don't know where it goes, Or where supposed to go in gb. Cause it didn't show up in the settings section.

It should install in system/app
I believe you should be able to change it under settings -> local and text.
It's trying to put files in /meta-inf, system/app and system/ lib. it says its installing, but i show no evidence of it.

Que?
what is trying to put files where?
meta-inf is in cwm zip files, it's the flashing instructions for cwm? There is no folder on the phone called that.
I'm confused
Lets start over shall we,
What you have to do is open the zip, either unzip with native windows tools or just open the archive in 7zip. Take out the keyboard apk you want out of /system/app and the corresponding lib file in /system/lib. Put those in the same folders on the phone, either push them with adb or drop them in with root explorer, and reboot.
Still no guarantee it'll quirk on gingerbread though...
The above mentioned directory is the folders in the zip file that when opened it will write to on extraction. On earlier roms, 2.2.x, i flashed it via cw as an update.zip. Apparently this doesn't work with 2.3.x. Do i have a file that is really old?
