Okay so I've made a custom theme pack for myself, now I just need to know if there's a program out there, for un-rooted users, that will allow me to manually change each existing icon myself? If anyone knows of such a program please reply with it, including some information on where I could find the program.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help out, there's a couple quid in it for the 1st successfull program/method that works exactly how I want it to.
Please note, I don't particularly want to edit each file .apk manually to change its icon =D
How many views and no one wants to make any money?

It is not possible to change something like the icons without root as it would need access to modify the apk files
Okay so given that I'm looking for a nice simple 1 click root, once found what would be the cards in the deck then?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
You could change the shortcut icon on the homescreen for example with a program called anycut, or the paid one called bettercut
Otherwise you will need root acses
Edit: Or (Don't know if this works someone might need to correct me ) if you get each apk of the app you want to change the icon on, just open the apk and replace the icon
EDIT2: Nvrmnd read the first post slowly
I've already sussed out the homescreen icons and yeah it makes a massive difference to me, but idealy I want every icon changing to the way I want it, is there a 1clickroot method for Hero?

Don't know if it works but I know there is an app called "Universal Androot" (not sure it's on the market) that you can search for on google

Hmm... Umm... I got two methods that im not sure if they'll work, first search the market for androot (i think) and try root it that way, second download ROM Manager from the market and install the clockwork mod recovery, there the closest ways to 1 click i think
Max, you got any kind of IM, this reward looks like it's going to you lol, just need a couple of things clearing up, you sound like you know what you're doing and the fact that I've had a pub in the county you live in makes it that little bit better!

Obviously you've rooted your Hero? What method did you use, I'm all for the confusing methods, I'm just not that familiar with ADB and the commands and what my phones running or what 'MOD' I'm currently on. It's all a lickle hazy to me as of right now, hence why I'm willing to pay someone for their precious time =D

Haha Okay
First thing, could you go into (on your phone) Settings, ABout phone, Software infromation and then write what it says under Firmware version
Hey I've got to go for a bit now
I reccomend looking here seems simple
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/11/how-to-root-your-android-phone-superoneclick-method/
And that should work
Now we're down to business! 2.1-update1, I done that myself =D lol then I updated something else to 3.35.61.2 if this is to any use =S
Hehe I can't keep up anymore. It's such a long time since I rooted my phone I have no idea what I did Anyways the trick is to let out what you don't need. Software number etc. often doesn't matter. It's pretty easy actually. When you get root you can very easily install a recovery. Basically you just download Amon_RA from the dev section and type in some basic commands in a terminal emulator on your phone AFAIK (that is when you have gained root which you hopefully can with a one-click method) and then you can start modding flashing etc.
ADB is really easy to set up. You download the zip file from here, extract it and (I recommend) put the extracted folder on your system drive. Now you can rename it to something easy like "adb" or "Android". If you open your command prompt by typing in "cmd" in the search bar in start (if you're using Windows Vista or 7) or opening "run" and then typing in "cmd". You can now type in "cd yoursystemdrive:\thenameofthefolder\tools" and start using ADB commands. Like adb ls -1 system/app (this will list all your system apps. You can replace "system" with "data". Thos will list all your installed apps) or adb pull nameoftheapkyouwanttoedit.apk \adirectoryyouwanttocopyitto (this will copy an app you want to modify. To modify it you can extract with WinRAR or 7zip etc. and edit the images (except the ones that ends with ".9.png")) and at last adb push \thedirectorythemodifiedapkisin systemordata/app (this will put the modified apk on your phone).
Hope this helps a little

can someone help me. I've been looking forever for a way to download the screenshot app for t-mobile g1 but i can never find it does someone have it.
can you help me??????
I believe there is a paid app in the market.
i have tried that 100 times and all i see is 144 results and they are mostly
ahome themes
someone told me "You will need jf 1.5 for it to work though" but that for adp1 and i have the rc-33.. and i dont know the difference between both of them.
Check here for Screenshot app
-mannyb is right, no posting of warez "forum rule #6" my bad....-
You may need to register for the forums but I highly recommend it. I frequent their site as much as I do XDA.
would i be able to download the apk file there????
Not sure if linking to a forum with pirated apps is allowed here. I might be wrong though.
They have tons of apps and games there, but they just offer up links to the downloads. I still recommend signing up there but the direct link is;
hope you got to go download, i'd rather not lose my forum privileges by posting warez. I should have read the forum rules.
btw if anyone knows of a free screenshot app I would love to know.
I'm not sure if posting to a site like that is allowed or not, if it isn't the mods are more than welcome to delete my post. I'm not here to cause trouble, just here to help out my android brethren.
It looks like a useful site, no doubt.
thank you for that..... if you want you can take of the link if you think its a bad idea. i already downloaded it. how did you find that link??
i found the link to that site one day in my searching for other apps a while ago. it is a very useful site, but unfortunately yes it is mostly about pirating of apps.
thank you man.
know i just gotta mess with it,..
also i updated my rc-33 to a adp1 1.5 update and i lost my im app and autorotate and my theme so not i gotta fix those problems
dxtop does screen shots now...
and if you looked a page or two back, theres this exact same thread, and the exact same results..
Theres an a app thats part of the SDK that is for debugging that will take screenshots, I think its DDSK its real simple to use. just make sure you have the latest version of java installed.
open up a command prompt and navigate to android-sdk\tools then type in DDSK and it will open up the debugger then there is the option in the view menu to take screenshot once the phone is connected.
( you need to install the adb drivers for the phone and have the debug enabled settings>applications>development>enable debug)
The good thing about the screenshot app is that you can take a screen shot pic even when you in the bathroom. Your way is fine its just limited to using only when your on your computer.

Just search for the Publisher

i got thescreenshot apk file
It also works on Hero and Rogers builds. I've tested.
I was looking around for a thread for this phone, but found nothing. I hope people start working on it, I'd like to mod it.
Is there anything I can do to help, like dumping the rom? Do any of the current tools even work on it?
I read somewhere Kyocera was going to put out an upgrade to 2.1, bit I can't find anything besides a mention of that.
EDIT: FEB 22, 2011
NEW 2.2 THREAD
YES! It is actually out! For real!
EDIT: Jan 27, 2011
It was released (somewhere around page 76) that Android 2.2 would be released Late Feb to early March.
START NEW THREADS!
If you have questions other than modding, it would help to put it in a new thread with the prefix subject "Kyocera Zio M6000 - "
I figure if lots of threads pop up like that it would be more likely that they'd notice it and actually create it's own forum. If everything is just tagged onto this thread, then it will just get huge and unnavigable, and the mods won't notice enough activity.
Update:
hotaru was awesome enough to post a full dump of the Zio for us:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8907621&postcount=287
If you look around this thread you'll find info about rooting the phone. Also in this thread a port Clockwork Recovery was released. There are some issues with it that were not resolvable. Such as if you boot to Clockwork and don't actually reset the phone, it will lose the Cricket settings and revert to Verizon. So it will work to recover a ROM and backup, but you need to also need to reset or restore when you go there.
Wasn't sure where to post this since there is no HW section for this phone, so I put it here in hacking general...
Could someone create a forum for it and move this post to it?
EDIT:
To root the phone people have had success with 1-click root for N1
And the MSL# is 000000
The debug ACCESS CODE is #777468
A copy of the 1.6 rom here
Will update here with any usefull info.
Also, this thing has absolutely no multi-touch, even though all the blogs says it does.
For Tethering. PdaNet (I can't post any links cause i'm a new user, just do a Google Search and click "I'm Feeling Lucky")
Works like a Charm.
Currently Using the Free Version and it works GREAT.
Even has an SMS client built in so you can reply to your messages while your tethered.
Just make sure USB Debugging is on and you'll have no problem.
I also put in a request for a user group for this phone. I emailed one of the admins directly and he told me if they get enough requests they may create it.
What I have really been looking for is either a hacked up upgrade Rom to either enclair or group for this phone.

I second that motion. The seems to be the first legit prepaid android phone, and it isn't really getting any attention, anywhere :-/
Which I find quite odd. I personally have the EVO and love it but I did buy this phone for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it and for a prepaid phone with a price point of 230 bucks you really cant beat it. Especially for 55 a month. I would think more people would be flocking to this. I have even considered giving up my evo for it but I do like the 4g. And the Build of the Evo is much higher quality.
Root
I think getting the thing rooted is important. All of the wifi tether apps require that. I read somewhere that someone had done it.
Do you find your girlfriend's Zio crashes when trying to watch video that you are opening from a link? Mine does every time :-(
Yup, lots of freezing, soft and hard.
I can't get rid of a "cdma: reorder" error after installing GoogleVoice. Now I can only make calls through GV or I'll get the error. I really need a better ROM, they better come out with 2.1 ASAP.
I also hope the no multitouch is only a sw issue and not a hw one.
i totally agree with you guys this phone needs some tweeking

Multitouch is something that is enabled in the kernel. I'm sure that the update to 2.1 will bring multi touch.
ROOTED!
The Zio can be rooted, download the file, email it to yourself, and open it on the phone. It is easy peasy ;-)
Paste this into the search up top: 1-click root for N1
(I would have posted the link but the forums rules won't allow me because...I don't have many posts?)
Wifi tether works like a champ.
No problems with my girlfriends phone I played with it for at least 2 or 3 hours when I first got it and eveything appeared to work fine. The only thing that I really didnt like was the factory keyboard I heard swiftkey got a major upgrade and was thinking about using it as a replacement especially cause it has the voice to text feature. And I may root her phone as well to give that wifi tether a shot. But what I would really like to see is some kind of upgrade to 2.X I think that it what will really make this phone shine.

Got my Zio rooted the same way, but now how do I enable Wifi tethering?
There is an app called "Barnacle Wifi Tethering", look it up in the app store. Once it is installed it is self explanatory,
If you like it, you should donate to the developers ;-)
Thick-buttons
Ah, there is an app called "ThickButtons", it's free, and it helps!

Got that and it seems kinda buggy. I always get some type of error the first time I try to start tethering. Always works on the second shot though.

I second this motion.
Step 1: Download APN Backup & Restore from Market
Step 2: Open APN Backup & Restore
Step 3: Backup APNs
Step 4: Plug phone into computer with USB cable.
Step 5: Drag notification bar from the top, tap the USB connection notification, and Mount the SD card to your computer.
Step 6: Find the mounted drive on the computer (may be D:, E:, F:, G:, for example) by opening My Computer. Open it.
Step 7: Go into the APNBackup&Restore folder.
Step 8: Right click on your backed up APNs (maybe like 201009041233-apns.xml or something or whatever you named them when you did a Backup APNs)n
Step 9: Open with Notepad or Word Pad if it asks you.
Step 10: Highlight all text with your mouse, or use Ctrl + A to select all.
Step 11: After all text is highlighted, use Ctrl + C to copy the text OR go to the 'Edit' menu at the top with your mouse, and choose 'Copy'.
Step 12: Reply to this topic in this thread, right click in the text box where you type, and choose 'Paste'.
Step 13: Revel in good feelings as you provide very valuable help to the Android community.
Thank you ahead of time, if you are willing to help.
yea do that for sure! and also maybe somebody who has root can grab the mms.apk and .odex files too =\
If your like me, and like old school droid programs but cant get them to install on new age devices here is one. This is the Car Home apk for anyone that would like to use it. Install as you would any apk. If you run into any problems side load it from something like dropbox or push via ADB. Once you install both the launcher and the car home apk then boot into clockwork recovery and fix permissions, reboot and you should be good.
If you use and like hit the thanks button!
Just Asking Whereabouts of APK
Where did you get these from? I had a version of Car Home 2.2.1, but the icon looks the same as the Car Home I've seen in other ROMs. The icon with the 2.2.1 you have is different. Though I found it funny the need for the launcher. Because up until now I never needed it before to get Car Home working, but now just installing Car Home is not enough to get an icon on the list. Weird, but go with what works. But I am also a man who likes to understand where things come from or to understand. I try not to just be a follower.
Thanks for the find though, always nice to have a trusted source like XDA to share or find wanted items like this!

I ripped one from a droid 1 and the other from a droid 2 that i had a while back just optimized the images inside so they would work on the TB and not force close, glad you like, that is what this community is all about.

Pardon, but what do you mean by "fix permissions"?
Sorry haven't been on this site for a while. In CWR there is an option to fix permission which aligns all the permissions for all apk in a rom, hope this helps.
Thanks for posting this. I had Car Home on my Nexus One, but it was absent from my Galaxy Nexus. Since I've packed up my Nexus One to sell, you saved me from having to pull it. ;-)

The home button no longer returns my phone to Car Home when in car mode as of JB 4.2 for me. Anybody know of an update or fix?
First of all, read everything! Second, click the link to see a picture of what the build.prop should look like. And lastly, I am not responsible for you being lazy and inpatient.
First of all, I take no credit for it, I just want to move it here for other users who might have not seen it. All credit goes to Sprintusa.
This even makes the quality of Netflix even better! Just follow the link to the post which was posted inside a thread of the Android Apps forum. I used it and it worked great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13952218&postcount=722
EDIT: I will re-do all my steps and check if this still functions. I will post results here.
EDIT 2: Okay, so here's something strange, before I even went back to the original build.prop settings I uninstalled Netflix from my apps. Then went into the Market and downloaded the Netflix app from there and it worked fine for me. As I'm writing this South Park (Dances with Smurfs) is streaming perfectly.
EDIT 3: I re-did everything except for use the APK listed in the link. I didn't use any APK. After I edited the original build.prop settings I saved and rebooted. Went into Market and installed Netflix from there. I can say that this works on my HD2 running latest Hyperdroid CM7. The only issue would be that the Stock Navigation app disappears. And some issues with a few apps.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TYPE IN "machimachi" INSTEAD OF "mahimahi"
FINAL EDIT:Okay so I figured out how to get Netflix working and all other apps that seemed to have issues to remain fine. It's rather a simple task but I will write out everything step by step in this post.
STEP ONE: Edit build.prop settings to;
ro.product.model=Nexus One
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.product.board=machimachi
ro.product.manufacture=HTC
After you do so, tap the menu button and select Save & Exit, it should also save a backup copy of the original build.prop. Make sure it does because it's needed for later! Afterwards reboot phone.
STEP 2: This is an easy step, after phone reboots, go to the Market and Netflix should be there, download it. Now sign in and make sure you watch something, please do this so it can register on the Netflix site that you're on a Nexus One. After you do so, exit Netflix.
STEP 3:Now go back to your build.prop file, hold on it and select "delete."
Make sure you do NOT delete the one that says "build.prop.bak."
Okay, all you have to do now is hold onto the file build.prop.bak and rename if to "build.prop"
The icon should change back to the original build.prop icon. Now reboot phone!
And Whaaaa-Laaaaa! Netflix working as well as all other apps that were affected by the Master hack.
Worked fine for me, my TyphooN build wouldn't show it in the market.
Used ES Explorer to edit the build.prop file (enable writable root in settings).

just downloaded it, it doesnt work. as soon as you boot it says there is a new version that you must install before you can use the program. after clicking ok it searches the market (?) and it says it's unavailable. rederening this version useless. manual search on the market doesnt make it show up either. i'm using gbx v12 if that makes a difference.

This hack does work but be aware of odd issues noted afterward.
I edited my build prop file exactly as shown in the post and installed the posted apk, and although the attached screenshot shows "mahimahi" not "machimachi" as the post itself shows I used machimachi. But on my hd2 when I shut off and restarted the phone I found these settings immediately breaks the GPS and makes my stock navigation (blue arrow) icon and its associated app. Inoperable. So I reverted back to my original build prop settings, saved, rebooted. Then downloaded the uppdated Netflix app (will add link to this post when I find it again), and Netflix, GPS, Navigation icon and it's app works normally again.

Yes you have to do what's explained in the link. I used root explorer. And make sure you type "machimachi" instead of "mahimahi".

Great post and even better with your excellent instructions. Its this kind of quick working together to find solutions that makes XDA the best board community out there.

I would now guess I should have just added these lines to the build.prop? And not just delete what is inside and leave it the only thing. Well that bricked my phone, now I guess I have to do a install of E19 again and start from scratch, unless someone knows how to restore the backup? My phone won't boot now..
Well adding them didn't work.. (I also managed to unbrick my phone)

WOW! I mean the link is there for a reason. It can't even go into Magldr or Clockwork?
Yeah the link explains it a lot clearer. Its good that you got your phone working again.

OK, I read the link too. I got the phone back running, so I tried again, but this time on my backup Mes. It appeared in my market, but when I sign in it just closes.

When you first sign in are you still on the edited Build.prop? Make sure when you download Netflix and sign in that you're still on the edited build.prop and not the original one.
Yes, I haven't restored it yet.. Very frustrating, I downloaded and app that now won't let me logon, says wrong password. I might just give up on this Netflix thing soon, my free trial will run out soon.

Free trial? Lol I don't think you can stream to phones with a free trial. If you do upgrade to an actual membership, try again.

Hmmm I might pass then. I have a tablet coming in, might see if it works with that.
Right! I've just ported the blindndumb rom Blind Smoke (Mooke OS) to the IncS and have been testing it for the last couple of days - works almost perfectly! (the only thing out if the button backlights - any help would be greatly appreciated!)
Credit where it's due:
I done very little work on this and really the credit has to go to szezso (for the 'Incredible v1.0' rom - the base for my port and a beautiful job all by itself (that in turn was based on CyanogenMod 7.2 rc2, so big hugs there too)) and to blindndumb for the Blind Smoke rom.
Oh also, the guys behind the kitchen. Totally awesome work and makes it a pleasure to port stuff!
Anyway, without further ado... Incredible Smoke!

I'll try to do screen shots soon but a quick flick over to blindndumb's site has some good shots already (click here). It is a beautiful rom and has a load of really nice features. My new favourite!
Oh, and for the button lights there's this:
Download the attached zip (backligh_files.zip - credit to kimifan316 for the files!)
Install a terminal emulator from the play store.
Next, copy the files in the zip to system\etc
Now, go change the properties on both the files to include execute (in esfile explorer this is done via long press, properties, change then tick execute for all users).
Now launch your terminal app.
in here type:
cd system
cd etc
su
sh bklights_init.sh
This is only temporary until someone can help me fix it properly
Here's the video can't seem to embed it here somebody help

Very nice, thanks for porting this, i see all these fancy CM7 based roms in the DesireS forum and get very jealous!

Install the superuser app and all should be well.
I have to say that the rom looks really nice and also very smooth.
I only can't manage to copy the files in the zip file to /system/etc.
When I do that I get a message that it has failed to copy.
It looks like I don't have the persmission to do that.
Does anyone know how to copy these files to /system/etc?
Good point about installing superuser - I forgot to mention it in the post. I'm still quite new at this but I'll try and stick superuser in by default with the next version...
Looks good , How about the battery life ?
Maestro, ensure you have installed superuser for root access and enabled writing to system. In es file explorer this is done by hitting settings, scrolling to the bottom, turning on root explorer and mount file system... Let me know if it still doesn't work.
thx a lot! it helped. I wasn't aware of the settings in es file explorer.
So the lights do work now.
Only thing I experience is a kind of a delay when light turn off and on. So when turning off the screen the buttons stay on for a few seconds and then turn off. Also when turning on the screen again the buttons will turn on after a few seconds. But the behaviour is not always the same.
But it's not a big deal cause they do work! I just wanted to share.
Thx again!
Does this rom support wifi hotspot?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Battery life seems pretty good to me I easily get through a day with quite a bit of juice remaining...
Wifi hotshot and tethering are supported but I don't use either so can't vouch for their performance...
Decent rom fast and stable!! Check out the video in second post!! Only of there were enough themes to mess with and my device is showing desire s!! Please fix that!! And a few other places where language is still Chinese!!

Nice video, thanks for doing that
I'll work on the bugs you pointed out there but I'm still wet behind the ears with android development so don't expect miracles...
Just so you know the flashlight does work just not from that button. Install one from the market and it's ok...
Thanks for porting it over man! Definitely nice to see new rooms being posted here, keeps me loving this phone will try it out later and get back on how it goes

Fix for product name
I have created flashable zip to fix product name.
hope you dont mind. good work wish you the best with the rom
Edit: Let me know how it works
Cool, thanks for that. I've sorted out the naming bits in the next release but I'm still working on the backlights before I upload it. Also think I have the su access in there by default now too... Hopefully be able to upload soon.
when trying to copy to system\etc folder the es file explorer says copy failed what am i doing wrong
also am i supposed to unzip the zip file?
See this one for how to write to system/etc: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26513213&postcount=9
And yes, it needs to be unzipped.
