Tayutama's JPM Froyo w/Xcaliburinhand's Re-oriented Kernel - 11/04/2010 -- possible security concern
Installed the above ROM.
ROM Post link:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=816271
Working good on my Captivate.
One concern: How do I take off the "minus" marks on the app icons that lets us delete apps right from the home screen (the screen we get when we click on the home button).
I see this as a security risk. I have app protector pro. But then, we can just delete the app protector pro in this mode without even asking for any password or anything, and all my apps are open for everyone to use.
Could anyone please help me take off this option to quick uninstall apps from home screen.
This thread is a joke, right?
wow just great now this post with almost the exact same title as the rom post will get me confused which is which from now on

Nope. I am serious. So far I realized that unless a person knew how to mod a Captivate, he didn't know how to access protected apps. But now, even a layman can just delete the 'app protector pro' and access all the apps that are supposed to locked by it.

I think you haven't noticed that i added "possible security concern" beside it in the title itself.
What the French...........toast! ? I'm with Mikeymike. April fools? Nope too early.

You do know that once you rooted your phone, anyone with a little knowledge can do much more than simply delete apps... just don't lose your phone or give it to an iphone buddy who might wonder what the neat little thingys on your screen do
Bye. What launched are you using that you see this in.... and deleting an icon from your home screen does not uninstall it on any that I have used

Not the icon. Like when u press the home icon, u can see all the apps present on ur device. For user installed apps, u can see a small "minus" in a circle on the right top of app icon, just like in iphone when u go to edit mode. click on that, and it will uninstall the app.

Pardon me if my concern is not really one. I am just expressing myself.
I use Application Protection from the market. Upon uninstalling any app it always asks for the pin. There is no removing the program without it.

Right, this is as long as the app is there. I am telling about a situation where the protection app itself is removed. I could remove it without it asking me for the pin.

Another possible solution is to install another launcher that dosen't have uninstall in the application tray or doesn't work at this time (my LG Optimus below) and use root explorer to remove the two launcher and reboot.

Sounds logical. But I am on Cognition 2.4.1 ROM now
Why not just have a lockscreen?
You do realize that if someone gets ahold of your phone everything can be taken out by someone who is skilled enough... right?

Others have already pointed this out, but what you need to do is dl and install a different launcher from Market and then uninstall the TWLauncher. Problem solved.
Just because TWLauncher is the default in Cog 2.4.1 doesn't mean that you have to use it. Get another launcher. Or you could try never letting your phone out of your sight...

Don't really know as I haven't used that function with the app. Someone will likely come through with an answer.
The app is getting more problems.... I now have to login everytime I open this app.... what's happening!?!?!?!
It also Force Closes if you try to search.
For the freaking XDA app, you'd think they could round up a couple people who knew what they were doing...
Works MUCH better than the previous version. I'm getting no force closes or weird behavior anymore. The UI is also cleaned up quite a bit.
I removed the previous version and pushed it to /system/app/

Wow, solid upgrade from the previous version. I only miss the ability to delete files. We're never satisfied, are we?
Could you post the apk?

Has anyone gotten the music app to sync with their Google account?

Looks great; unable to synch, but I now at least have the repeat/shuffle options I used to have, and the UI has been refreshed nicely.

When you install you get 2 music apps.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Anyone tried uninstalling it yet? I guess it leaves no trace? Just got worried as it said "upgrading this system app" when I was installing it! Want to make sure I can get back to stock if needs be
It just updates the original music app. If you want to get rid of it you can go into manage apps and uninstall the update just like all the other system apps.
Thanks just wanted to check before I try it

As posted in the other thread.
I just checked my market and it has mysteriously updated as well.
All I did to update my apps was click the far left capacitive button, select "My Apps" and update nearly as usual. The cool thing was that it actually updated without having to cancel and re-initiate the update download again.
The new market is fine by me!!
While reading this thread my market just sent me a push notification that updates are available. Something the old market never did. Yay!

How do you find out if you've got the new market or not? And how do you find it? Is it transparent or something you have to upgrade? Thanks...

Did some more digging and what do you know, found this info big as life in the Captivate themes and apps forum (as it should be)...
Just thought i would let the captivate community know about the new Google market interface in case you dint see it:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/12/g...ng-movies-and/
And thanks to some guy named Wesley for the apk link:
http://www.multiupload.com/HBGM27MVF4
If you've got the new market, you'll know, it's a different look. If you don't and want it now, dl it from above.
Guys, saw someone else post this in the Development forum and thought I would post here. Basically the sense 3.0 Lockscreen but I cannot seem to get it to work. I'm guessing it's something within my settings but if one of you gets it working please let me know. Always nice to have options!

I like the ripple lock :-D
I have it working. Click on the app in your app drawer and then click start. Thats it! I think I may buy it that way I can adjust everything. For those who bought it, you can change the icons right?

thats strange...try uninstalling and reisntall it or you can try a restart of your phone. something goofy is acting up. I haven't seen too many complains like that in the reviews so I would try one of those things I mentioned.

Sounds great, I would love to get this to work and I'll continue to play with it.
Interestingly enough, when I disable the Status Bar in the Agile Lock settings everything works as it should. Of course this is only available in the paid version.
This work for anyone else?

I think this is the APP that your looking for, let me know if it's not.

search market for "contapps" has a logo of a penguin...
i love this contact app and when you go to manage a contact it doesnt divert you to the installed contact app manager!!!
hey chrismcgraw... could you do me a favor and make a backup and post a copy of the "get 3d games" app link.. i heard it gives you 7 free games and i already deleted it cause i thaought it was bloatware... lol
thanks
Thanks
Thanks for the file...its the correct one, with the correct name, despite getting it in the right place, something is still missing. I tried an alternate Contacts.apk to no avail either.
Maybe if someone can post a list of the files found in /system/app I can pin-point what's missing...isn't there an odex file that goes with it?
I installed go contacts from the market and now my contacts show up in there so I'm back in business yeah buddy

I was going to say the same thing as you dude. LOL!
i do the same thing and regretting...Here's an idea:backup the contacts apk&odex in p920 by using system app remover to restore the backup in p925?
Has anyone been able to get the AT&T Address Book re-installed? I've tried both of the .apk files that were in this thread but no dice. "Application failed to install." Currently using a replacement contact app but that isn't really ideal. Any ideas?
System apps are always hard to reinstall on official rom...I called AT&T and they helped me with 2 hours and no result...the only thing we can do is waiting for the new rom or return it(if you buy it within 30 days and this is what i want to do)
This is how you do, install root explorer , copy the At&t....apk to system, (app) folder then restart.
