Hey i tried remapping some buttons and it didn't work out and my backups were wiped when i wiped my phone to flash ICS on my droid 4. So i need the keylayout file from system/usr/. Also how should i put this in?
There have been full dumps of /system from the Droid 4 posted on various forums. It should just take a quick google search to find one.

Ok, I just rooted my droid 1 and am using the new liquid froyo ROM. Theres some other themes that go with, but I have no idea how to load/use them. They saved as a zip file to my computer, where do I go from here?

Put them on the root of your SDcard. I have a folder called "FLASH THESE FILES" where I put all themes/ROMs.
Just boot up in recovery using two or more hardkeys. I have a HTC Desire and in order to boot into recovery I press the back key and power key for 5 seconds. You have something in the same manner. If you already have a rooted ROM you might have a "REBOOT" option when you shut down your phone using the power button - Use that to boot into recovery.
When you're in recovery the rest is a piece of cake - Just find your desired theme and flash it!
For future reference: The search function would have given you the same answers without having to create a new thread.
I have a Dell Streak 7 WIFI and made a real newbie mistake that I have not made since owning a Moto Droid A855. I did not make a back up of the system while I was tinkering, didn't plan on doing custom roms, and now the unit boots up after a factory data reset but I cannot get it past the language selection. I was removing APK's that I did not need and obviously went to far. I know dumb on my part and I know better. Can anyone help? All of the links to the needed files seem to be gone or dead. Thanks!
I forgot to mention the obvious, 3.2 rooted.
I was able to finally find the package downloads that were unavailable to most of us but the recoveries are not there. Can anyone help?
Download the latest PKG from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak_7#Official
rename it update.pkg and save it to an external SD card.
Make sure your tablet is fully charged, boot into recovery mode.
Choose: Software upgrade via update.pkg on SD card
You should be back in business.
Those links are dead but i found the files thanks to TheManii. Problem is the update does not go says it is up to date and I still cannot get past the language selection. I'm thinking I need to push the system image by ADB and see how that goes.
Ok found the files thanks to Manii. Takes the system image, boot image and the restore image and flash them with ADB. Works like a charm.

I made a mistake -- on my rooted Droid 3 /5.7.906 XT 862 Verizon/ I deleted system aplication "contacts storage" (I wanted to remove some adds on from Verizon) . Now I can´t see any contact in my phone when dialing - There is annoucement - the application Contacts (proces com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please, help me, is there any solution?
Thanks Peter
Just do a wipe or SBF. Or better yet what you could do is flash like MavROM and get the same benefits of the stock ROM plus no junk.

Thank you, I will flash MavROM. I´m new in android, I have red some guides for flashing .
1. Please which SAFESTRAP do you recomend for MavROM?
2. How to install safestrap /I installed just aplications from google play/
Thank you Peter
First you will need to root your phone. Rooting is giving full access to your phone and is needed to do this stuff. Search around for that as there are plenty of guides. Second, Safestrap 2.0 is a good version (look on rombot.droidhive.com under solana I think). You toggle safe mode then download Mavrom's > 100MB zip file to your SD card, flash it (use the volume buttons for down/up in the menu or the menu and home keys and use the search button to select), wipe your data and cache, and go to the advanced and wipe Delvik. After that you should be good to go. Keep in mind you will loose your /data so if you have text messages or levels of Angry Birds you want to back up you will have to research that. Use Google and the forum's search features to find how to do all this.

The following can still be useful.
AS I deal with this ROM: I have had some problems with the SD swap. I have learned to never let CWMR protect custom recovery for this particular rom by choosing yes on reboot. It zeros out the permissions for install-recovery.sh and the Avsi rom needs that script for the swap.
I think TWRP changes the same to ...bak and you have no choice & this behavior depends on your version.
USE CWMR AND ALWAYS CHOOSE ANY NO ON REBOOT.
Thanks for the "Recavery". I wish there were more of these and Devs were not so offended (?) by this technique.
ZaYAC-ua, I am willing to believe, should not mind some loving care applied to this TWRP Recavery based ROM.
Note here a bootup of the bare system with google login etc... I could never get to work for phone and 4g service. So all my talk here is about a simple work around for Vzw users.
Edit fixed! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44946498&postcount=17
All the following is just a method to activate the rom on Vzw.
In my case it was DeadCalm http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/17778-romretail-deadcalm-v14-7172013-412-base/
But other deodexed stock bases should work:

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...unofficial-dst-wmods-unlocked-bootlader-only/ DST (not deodexed) Not sure.
New steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44946498&postcount=17
The Telstra rom has the same radio and a newer kernel. With the DroidRazrWidget you can use it anywhere in the world. But stay away from them on Vzw.
Warning: NEVER TOUCH THE "BAND" IN THE 3 DOT MENU in phone info (*#*#4636#*#*) IT WILL BREAK YOUR BASEBAND (RADIO). The result on the M (and other phones?) is no 4G, spotty 3G and mostly 1x. The only fix is to restore w RSD or Matts util.
The The english dialer is a must for most of of us.
Edit the following will disable the task killer in the recent apps.
I really like this mod :"Center Clock, Honeycomb Battery, Menu Nav Key mod" at

Then I found this.

This implementation of the initd SD swap is the best I have used. NO PROBLEMS if you boot w/o the external card. It works great. Like a permanent "FolderMount.apk". Just get a BIG SDcard. Basically internal SD memory is disabled (rather now used by your apps). And Storage info is skewed. The Op's swap thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229848
Or delete the initd mod from its folder.

This has one step newer kernel then our newest so who knows. Backup & try.
News
Update: I mistakenly wiped data while on Philz 6. I Booted to the start screen. I knew this would break 4g & it did. Rsd restore is the only fix. Be warned. Even after a cwmr restore, no 4g.
So I updated my restore thread to ...94.
Note here a bootup of the bare system with google login etc... I could never get to work for phone and 4g service. So all my talk here is about a simple work around for Vzw users.
The first rom you flash is just a facilitator that alters your data in a way that Telstra needs to boot on your vzw data partition.
I found a path for all unlocked stock'ers, on 98.18.78 (same as 9.8.1Q-78) OR 98.18.94, to upgrade to a newer kernel and have a built in SD swap.
Don't want to stay on this rom. Restore your former system & boot of any of the previous ones & keep your current data! That is right do not wipe data coming or going!
Note here: Many think this is somehow a less than a Real Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40584507&postcount=3 (I am not picking on him)
Yet NOBODY HAS EVER FLASHED A XT905 PARTITION TO A XT907 WITHOUT A BRICK BEING FORMED!
So the Restore-a-Backup Rom method brings us what NOBODY has done before.
Start on the newest ...94 or the one before ...78.
Start with your activated & rooted (vzw) stock (unlocked bootloader only)
Make sure you have booted up done google login & used the stock messaging.
Go CWMR. (see goodies for flashables)
Backup!
Wipe Cache & Dalvik
Mount system (& keep data- do not wipe data)
Flash (install) http://d-h.st/users/Moparman371/?fld_id=23066#files
Reboot system
Go cwmr
Wipe Cache & Dalvik
Flash/install the Avst_ZaYAC_MODsmXBIN.cwmr.zip from next post.
Flash the Op's options: english dialer fix & battery fix & as you desire....
Reboot
TWRP will not install the Avst_ZaYAC_MODsmXBIN.cwmr.zip.
twrp v2.6+: will not messed w/ the install-recovery.sh.
cwmr: always choose NO about protect recovery flash.
Never protect recovery on reboot except when on our official rom-yes.
DO NOT try activate this system with Google login as you would a normal Rom.
It must be activated via your currently activated data partition.
Vzw users: You will never be able to do a privacy > factory data reset OR a recovery data wipe on this rom. Doing so & then rebooting will bork your radio partition OR result is 3g only, but this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391641
is the fix if you do.
The Razr data widget when on vzw is not needed & untested by me..
The stock mms/sms can sometimes get borked on vzw just use Handsent.
I am back on this as I still find it superior to even 98.30.1 for many things but Bluetooth in particular- connectivity & audio volume.
Update: Avsitralia.Xposed.mod2 coming. Lenovo cam & gallery up. Use only as a data app, will bomb if a sys app.
Flashing Moparmans...98.16.3 on top of 98.18.94 Data works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go back one post for VZW users: keep your data + install/upgrade.
I have updated the Op's restore "rom". As it was, it's xbin would result in a 447 mb larger backup file when you made your first backup. 584 mb vs 137 mb. Edit, I did previously get a much larger BU file but not with the newer Philz .
I just deleted all of xbin but the two su files & installed xbin via this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
This is an "update".zip created with Philz. Use it in place of the original. Install it rather than restore. All other steps will be the same. Untested with Droid razr data widget, which may be the Rabbit's need of such big xbin.
I can up a twrp version too.
Click on the attachment, copy & paste to Chrome or get Mega.
All current Vzw 98.18.94 OR 98.18.78 unlocked boots may flash this Telstra rom & keep their apps & data. See post 18 & 17.
After being on Mhous33's DST build of 98.30.1 for weeks, I realize how much better this Telstra version is. See previous post.
Hello,
I didn't take time to create a topic for this, but I think it can be usefull.
Here is a flashable ZIP file to "restore" Motorola SmartActions application in custom ROMs
You must have an unlocked bootloader, it must be flashed in recovery.
It is designed for RAZR HD only, the command line in the script to mount the /system in recovery is for RAZR HD.
( mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");package_extract_dir("system", "/system");unmount("/system"); )
But I made SmartActions works too on a GS2 and GS3 (by installing files manually in recovery with ADB).
I guess I could find a universal mount command line to make ZIP work on every phones... but didn't take time to check this.
Not every trigger are present in custom roms, I guess some Motorola Library are missing... but most of things work.
Bye
Awesome, thanks. One of the most important apps I missed from stock, and it's great to have it back.
Is the version on the Play store any different from the stock version?
Well, if I remember, you can't install the playstore version if you don't have the original already installed on your phone.
In my flashable ZIP, I already put in in the updated play store version.
FYI you don t need to be unlocked... just need the root, extract the file and put the files at the right place with right permission

I am glad to see someone do this, but I am unable to add locations using CM10.1 on the XT926.
Without that ability the app is almost worthless.
Is there a missing app or anything for this?
I know some triggers are missing, didn't find how to enable them.
For my use the current zip is enough for me. (Silent hours with VIP, car dock triggers GPS and application launch...)
Thanks a lot for this. But finally i fall in love with Llama
The only stock app i'm missing is Motorola Messaging (formated mail text and signatures)
Is it possible to do this?
thanks and regards
