Few cyanogen questions - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I have a few questions so instead of making a whole bunch of threads I just made one. If you could at least answer one question I would appreciate it.
All relate to 32B by the way.
I know that I had to download a new keyboard, but is there a better keyboard than the default one available for cyanogen, or do all keyboards work?
Is there a way to customize Cyanogen with themes?
Is there a Wifi tethering app?
Also is there a way to view the system files to your phone? I need to upgrade my recovery.

I do not know much about cyanogen his ROMs, but I had it once and I think it was WiFi tethering. and it is very easy to update the recovery through a terminal on the phone.

How do I do the terminal thing? I have the adb thing or whatever but I do not know how to use it.

If you don't like the stock android keyboard which is delivered with the cyanogen ROM, then you can download the HTC Touch Input keyboard.

Is there a way to customize Cyanogen with themes?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes there is! There's tons of themes that are made to run on cyanogen on these forums!
Follow: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Installing_Themes
And: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
They usually have the ROM-version they run on in the title.
Is there a Wifi tethering app?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There's a wifi tethering option inbuilt into cyanogen (under Settings > Wireless Controls > Internet Tethering)
Hope this answers most of your questions

Thanks for the help. But what I forgot to put, is that I get an error whenever I tilt my screen sideways to type. It says the application browser process com.android.browser has stopped unexpectedly, please try again. I have no idea what that is and it happens with whatever keypad I use to type.

way to remove htc keyboard?

just curious, tried to do some searching, but any way to remove the htc keyboard and get the stock android one?
I am currently running gumbo 1.5c and would like to try the stock one out because for some reason when texting in google voice the htc keyboard goes reallllly slow but while in defualt messaging app texting is fine.
but when i tried the stock keyboard on 2.01 by darch on GV it typed fine
soooo hopefully some way?
thanks
You should be able to go into Settings, Text Input and uncheck Touch Input.
Then in messaging app or really any text area hold it down and Edit Input.
Should work fine.

You can delete HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk from /system/app

You can delete HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk from /system/app
kinda a noob on that kind of stuff, how would I even start or go about to doing that?
just open cmd prompt and cd to sdk then type
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm HTC_IME.apk
rm Clicker.apk
reboot
and your done.
Hmm. I was curious and tried this on fresh's rom. Now I don't have a keyboard at all. lol. is there an apk for the android one, or is it built in some other way, I'm not familiar with how that works

The default Android keyboard will/should always be there. The HTC keyboard, the keyboard that comes with the SenseUI can be removed or changed back to the "Android" keyboard.
To do this:
1. Open your messaging app
2. Click and hold where you type a message
3. A box should popup and saying, "Select Input method"
4. Choose the Android keyboard.
Hope that helps.

Interesting. It sounds like it could be a ROM problem, have you tried just reinstalling the file?
If not, here's the file -- download, unzip, and push the .apk via shell/command prompt back to your phone, and then reboot your phone.
Code:
1. adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/
2. adb shell reboot
3. exit

The .odex file isn't really that important, its for the Android Dalvik JVM -- you can actually delete this file.
And did you actually get Windows 7 mobile to run on Hero?

No, it should not always be there, you need a "LatinIme.apk", i think you could probably pull it out of a samsumg moment dump and use it on 1.5

HAHAH, what a coincidence, I just looked up a AOSP 1.5 ROM for the dream to see if the music apk would work, and it does, I just posted it in a new thread. So I've already got the LatinIme too. Thanks alot! I didn't know what apk I would have been looking for

I stand corrected.
I pushed the HTC keyboard back over, but I'm still having trouble getting the text input option to come up. I've done it before, so I don't think i'm doing anything stupid... Just hold in a text field until it comes up, right? I think I'm gonna try installing swype just to see if i can change text input then.

No dude you got me wrong. I'm just amused that the problem is really solved that simply. It would never have occurred to me to try that. I've only just started playing with visionary on my phone about half an hour ago so I have virtually zero experience rooting the mt4g so far.
Was not talking **** but I totally appreciate your supportive attitude and I agree with your statements. I was a super-noob and am still pretty darn noobish. I actually enjoy helping where I can and I put links in my sig in case they come in handy for others.
Oh... Sorry for coming off so harsh.
Do you have any questions or need any help?

Okay. Sorry for being off topic. But if you need help please ask here.

Yup Cyanogen Mod 6.1 will be amazing. They have already booted it but the status of the ROM is unknown

How to root
First Question? Do you get and OTA Update (You can check by going to System -> About Phone -> Software Information. If you have gotten the update then under Android version it would say 2.2.1.
Next you need to follow this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225
What I did is I downloaded the program droid explorer (PC) (http://de.codeplex.com/) and it set up the whole adb system. All I did was to plug the phone in and copy the two files using Super Manager (Phone) and the ran the 2 commands minus the adb part of the command.
Download Visionary (http://android.modaco.com/content/t...350/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/) and then copy the apk file to your sd card.
Then mount your phone to your pc and copy the two files on to the root of your SD Card
Then open up super manager and go to settings and Enable ROOT Function, and show hidden files.
Then go the the copied files and cut them (Hi-light check box and hit the pair of scissors)
The keep navigating up one level until you cant go up anymore.
Then navigate to data
Then inside of data select local and paste the files there.
Then plug your phone in but dont mount it ( When you plug in it pull down the notification bar and select USB CONNECTION Change Type and change it to charge only.
The open Droid Explorer and it will recognize your phone
Look on the tool bar and hit the icon that looks like the command prompt icon.
The type su an on your phone you will get a prompt for superuser on your phone accept it.
Then copy and paste the following commands
insmod /data/local/wpx.ko You should get an error stating "function not implemented" this is what you want
dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Then type sync and wait about 5 min and then reboot.
Complete Credit for this guide goes to grankin01 I just broke it down step by step.
Hope this helps

Worked for me.. using the latest androidiani.. had to apply that LCD density fix for a normal sized ginger keyboard ..
Still thinking swype is the best virtual keyboard though
I can open that zip just fine. But anyways, I downloaded from http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/06/download-gingerbread-keyboard-for-rooted-devices/ and it worked fine, but still had to do the density fix.
Is this suppose to be multi touch? I hold shift and press a letter and it just toggles Caps...
Since this is just a rip from 2.3, I guess you can't do the feature where they hold Spacebar to switch to another language right? EDIT: Nvm, found it in settings, no language I want to switch to anyways lol
So does this only work on 2.2 ROMs and/or G.O.T.'s 2.2.1 Open Recovery? Or will it work on 2.1 ROMs as well (like the Telus I'm running)?

What I see is VERY small keyboard.
How can i change it to larger one?
To anyone who's using this, does this have an "enter" key in portrait mode? I only see a "smiley" in the videos, and I find a line break infinitely more useful than an emoticon.

You're right, that seems like a pretty glaring oversight. Though it won't bother me too much, since in portrait I tend to use the physical keyboard.
*edit*
that actually only seems to be in 'messaging' - try it in browser and it's replaced with a 'GO' button
ugh, it returns to a small keyboard after every restart.

Do you have rooted build? Mostly all the builds are rooted. But sometimes in some builds root permissions have problem. You can check whether you have root or not by following method:-
Download terminal emulator from market(free)
Open emulator and type "su" without quotations and press enter
if you do not get any errors then you have root enabled. If you have some errors then you might have to find solution to root your build.
I also got lock freezes that appeared at some point. I started remembering what I was installing and guessed it might be the poweramp lockscreen widget. I disabled it yesterday and did not have any lockscreen freezes today.

Question about locked launcher in Chinese Android HU

Hello all
Today I am fighting with small but irritating problem.
I bough chinese HU and it's launcher is just horrible. Cant make any adjustmens etc. So I tried to install Agama that has been worked perfectly with earlier units that I had. Problem is that I cannot make any new launchers default at any trick.
I have tried and noticed the following:
- Reset apps and click home button (does not work, does not even ask default)
- In setting launcher settings are hidden/missing
- Apps like Launcher Uninstaller see all the lauchers but cant change or uninstall anything
- In the carapp->factory settings (pw 8888)->launcher->only few preinstalled launcher that I can pick but not anything else
I allso tried to root with Kingo Root, it does its job and after restart everything is like it was before (locked bootloader???)
So if anyone can give me any advise I would be very very happy
UNIT:
Ossuret XL6107.20210427.112507
MCU XL6107_V104_20210514_
Android 10
2/32GB
A7 1.3GHz x 4
Kingo root idk if it unlocks the bootloader but have u opened the app and checked if root access it there?
You could use adb to remove the apps you dont need or install a new launcher
I have checked and no root access after many attempts.
I will try adb, I googled it but it's a totally new for me so I need to some studying how to work with it. Thanks for the info
Hi, do you solve the problem?
I'm also trying to change the launcher (same unit).

Use ADB to uninstall it and grant permissions.
I have not yet tried to change it, have been busy. I have tried to learn how to work with ADB but it seems there is so many ways and commands.
Anyone can confirm is this even close if I want to set another launcher main and disable original (If cannot be uninstalled)?
adb shell cmd shortcut get-default-launcher
adb shell cmd package set-home-activity "your.package/.YourLauncherActivity"
adb shell pm disable nameofdefaultlauncher
Thanks
If you remove the default launcher it'll ask you to set a new one.
It's a real pain. I even get no developer access. It's all blocked or hiding. No chance to use ADB :-(
(Sorry for my bad english)
Can you tell me your model and make of the headunit?
hello guys, it looks like this unit is having trouble changing the launcher. I have the same product with the same problem and I am looking for solutions. I also tried an update but it doesn't work. I hope we find a solution.

No, I don't have access.
You can replace stock launcher with root. It is a bit of a process though. Can you share a screenshot of your System Info? Should look something like this.
