Mix and matching roms - Hero CDMA General

I've been using the 2.1 DarchDroid rom since it's second version and have some stuff I really love like the keyboard, the new dialer and of course the lockscreen.
I just flashed the new Fresh 2.1v2 rom and really like the full feature set but would like to replace the keyboard, dialer and lockscreen with the ones from DarchDroid.
I tried just pulling out the LatinIME.apk and installing it but it failed to install. Is there something more I need to know about moving those three things between roms?

I remember I didnt do the step 3 of GrdLock.
That is
ECHO 1) Install jcase's live wallpaper update
ECHO 2) Install Launcher2 (Nexus Launcher)
ECHO 3) Install Flan Gallery (Nexus Photo Gallery)
ECHO 4) Remove HTC lockscreen
Does this affect the google map?
no, it would be the rom.

a solution to this is most likely to remove the apk from /system/app. this can b done a few ways but this one will do: adb shell rm /system/app/Maps.apk
anyhow its most likely due to the apps sigs. as in it was signed with test keys or something. also i know sometimes some apps wont update from /system/app i always add apps that can or will update to /data/app and symlink it in my roms. also i do this with larger apps like maps, streets, quickoffice, and so on. its a good practice i think. its worked out well for me

Tried when that problem popp'd up on another leak rom i was using, that caused errors for me. This issue should be solved in all current roms.
I just switch to ivan's rom. it works fine.

[REQ] HTC Sense Live Wallpaper

Does anyone know where i can get the Desire's default live wallpaper for download? I've got Froyo and I liked that bubbles wallpaper.
Cheers,
Not 100% but it's probably the same as everything from Sense, you need to be running Sense to use them

It's in the livewallpapers.apk. I replaced the one in DJDroid with the one from cyanogenmod6 and that worked. So I'm sure you can use the one from the leaked sense 2.2 rom in any random Froyo rom.
Edit:
I have attached the Livewallpaper files from DjDroid for you.

i tried to adb push the files, and i got this error

You need to push it from recovery since you can't get read/write access on the desire because of the weird root.. so just reboot into recovery "adb shell mount /system" then "adb push ...."
that worked, but i don't think the zip file you attached had the bubbles live wallpaper from stock desire ... thanks though

Oh wait.. I think you are right, could be I replaced them in the ROM with another one. I don't have the original file anymore, so maybe you can download the DjDroid file yourself and see if it works that way.
Good luck
Ok, I'll give it a shot when i get home tonight, don't have the usb cable at work or i'd give it a shot right now
after some google searching i found this thread in the nexus one forum (didn't even think to search in there :s)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837&page=10
apparently, the sense wallpaper isn't in the livewallpaper.apk but in the mode10wallpaper.apk, and you need multiple libraries.
I'm going to grab the necessary files from DJDroid's rom and will give it a shot , if it works I'll post the files i pushed here

well, i'm going to try pushing the files from DJ's 2.2 rom to defrost and see if that works ... but i can't do that until i get home, as I'm missing the usb cable at work ... will update in about 5-6 hours or tomorrow
ok, so i finally was able to push the files into my phone and the desire's default bubbles wallpaper is working for me on Defrost 2.0b (which is a 2.2 froyo rom)
I'm attaching the zip file with the appropriate files that need to be pushed into your phone using adb.
use the following code to push the files into phone.
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push system/app/Mode10Wallpapers.apk system/app
adb push system/lib/libicule.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libiculx.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10_wallpapers.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10Graphics.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot
and then you will have HTC Sense wallpaper in your live wallpapers
enjoy

What version do you currently have?
Did it come with your rom or did you download it?
You can backup your settings (export) to your sdcard and restore (import) with the new version if by chance your settings are not preserved.
Im using CM 5.0.8 ,and it came with 0.8.9.
And how do i go about doing that export/import?
Either download link from your phone and install or download on PC put on SD card open file manager and install are easiest. Put it on a friends phone. Looks good. Backup and restore are in settings adw.

Do a search for ADW.Launcher in the Market, it's there. Just make sure you have a period in between "ADW" and "Launcher."
Hey,
I'm interested in updating the ADW.Launcher version that came with my CM5.0.8 rom, but I don't know if it's OK to update through market or get the apk file and use "adb install" or find a zip file to flash...
Could anyone make some light in here pls?
Thanks!
I have tried downloading the apk file for my CM5x and MDPI device from Anderweb's page but when I tried to "adb install" I get...
INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS
Can someone shed some light? Is there a way to update the ADW.Launcher that comes with a specific ROM version?
Tried using android commander?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Since I'm new to this scene, what is the difference between the "adb install" method and using the Android Commander (which I need install)?
Would Astro help in this case, because I remember reading that has support for installing apk files?
I'd like to do this update as clean as possible.
Thank you for the reply!
PS: I have actually installed Android Commander and installed the ADW.Launcher apk for CM5x MDPI as an Update (wasn't sure what to chose between Private, Application or Update) and the installer said it was successful but after reboot I still have the old version 0.8.6
Any ideas?
U can download it put it on your sdcard and install with a file manager. Doesn't matter which way u go. Should work. Done it both ways
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
I did it somewhat the way you said and installed it with Android Explorer as an update because the regular installation would fail with the error that the application already exists.
The problem is that the new version gets copied into /data/apps/ and I can start using it but after the first reboot it's not there anymore and I get back to the one that came with my CM5.0.8 rom which is in /system/apps/
I would really like to get a solution that would update the one in /system/apps/ which might be harder because it's a memory mapped version of the ROM and changes get lost after reboot.
Please correct me where I am wrong...
Have u tried goin to the market and installing it from there? It's like version 1.4.1 or something now
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
place the file on your /sd.
adb push /sdcard/filename.apk /system/app
restart home or reboot phone.
I ended up installing the one from Market and making that the default launcher, but I would really like to just replace the one in the system folder - no need to keep 2 versions of the same app
I'll try the method NetrixTardis was suggesting.
U can do it through the terminal as well. Maybe removing the old one will solve it. Use the rm command in the terminal and see if u can do it that way. Ex.
$su (enter after each line)
#rm /system/app/(name of app.apk)
Then u can use cp command to copy the one from your sdcard.
Cp /sdcard/(app.apk) /system/app/
Someone correct me if I'm wrong in the lines
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
hey johnson8cyl
I'll try that and let you know if it worked, should I copy it to the same name?
like /system/app/adwlauncher.apk is the name for the system app, while the Market installed one is org.adwlauncher....apk
do you guys know a good keyboard replacement and a way to configure the vibration alarm on my CM5.0.8? these are mostly the things I miss from my stock ROM
oh...forgot to mention the CM5.0.8 default camera does not have all the setting (like I can't set the ISO), is there one that does that trick?
thanks!
I'll answer the keyboard part. I've got Smart Keyboard installed and its a lot better than the stock Android one.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
U have to use the names exactly the one your removing and one your copying. Names have to be what u want to remove or copy. That make sense?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Makes total sense to keep the same names only that I have this problem...
any ideas? kinda makes sense because that comes from the ROM and is mounted as read-only
# su
su
# pwd
pwd
/system/app
# rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm: can't remove 'ADWLauncher.apk': Read-only file system
ps: I actually managed to fix this what was missing is "adb remount" to mount system partition read-write
So you figured it out? Were you able to get it removed and replaced?

MT4G FavesWidget.apk on stock Sense

Hey guys,
I made an flashable zip of the faves.apk file, which i took from robociks MT4G port. Flashed it to /system/apps and everything works fine on Lambros r4. I wanted to get the faves widget too on my rom and flashed FavesWidget.apk to same location as Faves.apk, but I can't add the widget, it does not appear! Any ideas to get that working?
Thx

Try pushing or installing via ADB. Might work out better.

Still can't delete stock apps

Followed this guide to downgrade: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-r4-htc-legend-rooting-guide-now-with-1-31-x/
And then loaded this ROM: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...o-rom-for-the-htc-legend-with-online-kitchen/
Looking for a free method to delete stock apps.
Taking a stab in the dark here and saying because you flashed a Sense UI ROM you won't be able to delete them as they're integrated into the system. Try another ROM which isn't Sense based. I suggest CM7 RC2, which you can find by exploring cyanogenmod.com.

Oh... I'm loading CM6 just now.
Alrighty. Make sure you flash the gapps package from the cyanogenmod wiki too if you want google apps integrated into your system. Flash it right after you've flashed the CM6, while still in recovery.

Oh I was past that stage on my last post.
Anyway, I still can't remove things through adb shell - tried removing the Voice Dialer as a test, but it said "directory not empty".
In which case I'm stumped. Someone else will know.
As long as you have root access it doesn't really matter what ROM you're running, you should still be able to move and/or remove system apps, just keep in mind that some of them are essential for the system to run properly. Even if you are using a Sense based ROM, you can still removed many system apps such as widgets and things like friendstream, flickr, footprints, etc.
There are two (or probably more) simple ways of going about removing system apps. The easiest, if you have successfully flashed S-OFF, is to use Root Explorer and simply move or delete whatever app you want.
If you're not S-OFF, you can use adb shell to move a system app to data partition (or anywhere else you want to push it to), and to delete a system app if that's what you're looking to do.
To remove an app in adb, you must first mount /system partition, then you can use the command "ls /system/app" to show a list of all apps installed in the system partition. To remove an app, follow the syntax "rm /system/app/AppName.apk" (obviously replacing AppName.apk with whatever app it is you're trying to remove.
To move an app from /system/app to /data/app use the following syntax:
"mv /system/app/AppName.apk /data/app/AppName.apk"
I wasn't in recovery mode to do my deletes.
