no stock standalone alarm clock app? - EVO 4G General

i know i'm being picky here, but i really miss the stock android alarm clock app. i'm not talking about the one built into desk clock. i mean the standalone alarmclock.apk. is there any way it can be ported to the evo? i tried transferring it from my wife's moment, but it would not install.

Download the SDK, then go to source.Android.com and you can download and compile the app to install it on your phone.
Not a simple solution but with some work you can get it.

[Q] Blur messaging for blurless roms

Is it possible to put the blur messaging.apk on blurless roms... i've always stuck to blurry roms like apex and bazinga, but i want to check out liberty and i've used the aosp messaging and i don't really like it...
I don't think the blur messaging is something u can add in. liberty has a toolbox that allows you to add in some blue features, but messaging is not one if them...
Try searching around for adding blur messaging into non blur roms, but I dont know any way at the moment

Try Tranquility 3.6. You can add and remove a lot of things

Ohhh I know there are roms where you can add the blur stuff you want, I'm specifically asking if there is a way you can add the blur messenging into blurless roms, like liberty
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The point of a blurless rom is that it doesn't have blur. If you want true blur go back to stock
I understand that... I guess you weren't fully grasping my question

Ok then it depends in the rom that you are running. Fusion seems like a good idea for you because it is a slightly blurred version of fission. Give that a try

+1 for jmoney's comment. I would suggest trying out fusion or apex. Or zapX bazinga, but I havent really followed zapX for a while, so I dont know its current status.

Yeah I've tried zapx and apex... I was just wondering if you can specifically install the blur messaging .apk on a blurless rom...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I guess if it is an .apk you should technically be able to install it... I'll do some digging around different forums

Just because it is an .apk, does not necessarily mean it will install. With that, if it does install, it may not work correctly either. Some .apk files (blur files for instance) have other dependencies such as the moto-res.apk or the blur-res.apk files that come with the stock Motorola ROM's. These additional apk's have the dependencies built into them that allow the blur components to run correctly. Without the necessary configuration (not exactly sure, as I have not done ROM development) these blur apks will not work.
My guess with blur apps such as the blur camera, is that they do not rely on the moto-res or blur-res files in order to run, or only need a modification to a lib file to work correctly. Again, I'm not a programmer, but have a decent amount of IT knowledge and background for basic ideas and concepts. If you can find an answer that allows you to install what you are looking for, I would very much like to know about it, as many people here ask the same question you are asking.
However, (and I hate to sound redundant) the blur-less ROMS are created because many people dislike blur. Along with that... If I can find an answer to help you out, I will be sure to post back here as well!
Sorry to sound repetitive or a downer, just trying to provide you with any info I have.
What you said makes complete sense
.. I guess I just like the "build" of the blur messaging compared to the aosp messaging... I'm slowly getting used to the aosp messaging in liberty.... I guess you can only take what you get!

[Q] TV like screen off visual

I come from the Samsung Vibrant Dev area. A friend of mine has a Droid X and all he does is flash Roms, doesn't know much about them. His phone does a TV like on/off animation when the screen goes on and off. What is that? Where is it located/ implemented. any info on it would be great. As search is down right now i cant search it. I am interested in possible porting it.
The liberty tool box has a bunch of different startup animations to choose from, I'm not sure if the one your looking for is in it but it does have the option to add ones from your SD card. Its meant to run on the x with the liberty rom but if you can port it then it might be a good place to start.
Edit:ah just reread your post you're looking for when it goes to sleep, sorry don't know that one. Sounds cool I'll have to look out for it.

Unless his rom is built on 2.3 I don't think it is. Since that power off tv animation is part of 2.3 and 2.3 only good luck.
I think you might be right but I thought it was a feature he was planning on adding. I did some searching and did find that the ultimate Droid has the feature, here's the link...
http://www.theultimatedroid.com/forum/index.php?/files/file/68-the-ultimate-droid-300-beta/
Edit: and just because its a feature of 2.3 doesn't mean its impossible to port it.

EVO 4G Stock clock

I am running Myns TwoPointTwo RLS5 with 2.6.32.17 Kernel. I love this ROM. Is there any way that I can get the apk for the stock clock. The reason I liked the stock clock is that I can set the alarm, timer etc. Can somebody post the stock clock apk?
Thanks
Doesn't Myns have the stock clock app? It does for me..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I could not find it. I looked in the applications could not find it. I also went to the /system/app and could not see any clock application. The only one I found was htcClockWidget.apk and I tried to install it, but got an error message saying that the application could not be installed.
FWIW, I have the stock clock with Myn's twopointtwo, also.
Isn't the stock clock part of Sense? I'm pretty sure you need to add it as a widget if that's a Sense ROM.

Have you changed from the stock lock screen to an AOSP lockscreen? If so, that's your problem. Most aosp lockscreens remove the HTC clock when you install them, because the aosp lock screen breaks the alarm function of the HTC clock. Perhaps that's the problem? Did u change lockscreens?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes I did. I changed to the AOSP Vannila lock screen. If that's the reason, is there anyway I can revert back the lock screen?

The easiest way would be to reflash the rom. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reflash the rom. You could also just reinstall Myns htc lockscreen, then reinstall the clock app as well. Probably just easier to reflash the rom though.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for the info. Where can I find the clock app apk?
If you don't want to reflash, here's the lockscreen/world clock apk's, but I don't think this lockscreen is the same as Myn's. I believe it's the Vaelpak lockscreen but I could be mistaken.
Thanks nhutpham. I will try this and let you know.
Thanks. I just re-flashed the ROM and it is working fine now. One more question. When I am talking to some one on the phone, I should be able to browse the internet too right? But for some reason I cannot do that. I am on the 3G network.

Not to hi-jack but on a similar topic, what needs to be done to add back in the clock widgets? I'm running A Virusrom right now; the clock apk works great, I'd just like the widget back.... mainly the 2x1 one
Any suggestions on a Kernal with Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo (RLS 5)
I am running 2.6.32.17 and am looking for a kernal that will over/under clock and provide more power to run my phone more smooth. I have an extended battery so I am less concerned with battery life than I am a powerful kernal. Has anyone had success with Set CPU? I have heard pro's and con's with my Sprint Evo. There are so many kernal's and I don't know where to begin? I don't even know if they are all compatible with Myn (RLS 5). Thanks for the help and sorry to reply to this post, I haven't figured out how to make a new post

It's a legitimate request I've seen before. I mean, why let your old devices just waste away when your children or family members could totally use them as dirt cheap replacements for iPods and such. You don't want them making accidental emergency calls or circumventing the settings you put in place.
Should be able to completely remove the radio somehow so that the cellular stuff just won't work.

Maybe this is a project for some of the budding devs on xda. In theory, it sounds like a simple change. Simply remove the phone aspects of a rom and repackage. I'm sure it's harder than it sounds in terms of stability and usability though (I'm not a dev) =/

Eh, some apps certainly wouldn't work, anything that needs to communicate through telephony and such. But really shouldn't be that difficult.
I'll come back when I'm not too terribly busy with some links about breaking down and customizing ROMs and such. I know that I've found a thread specifically for this kind of thing for another device, but there are a few of them I read up on so it may take a while to locate. Hell, you could just about remove the phone and contacts apps and edit your build.prop and leave an existing ROM intact. I'm no dev or anything though lol so I'll look around.

TeamDRH over in the gTablet forums have added something similar to this into their ICS ROM for gTablet. Might be a useful place to look.
Ok well.I went and remove like all telephony apk in my Rom and some app don't work like he said

Not the OG article I had read, but after a bit of Googling I came up with a script that you should be able to set to run at boot which will disable your radio.
You may also be able to dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose turn off radio, but that will not be persistent across reboots. I would use the script and a third-party launcher that can hide apps so that you'll keep the phone and contacts apps and such for stability, but not have them readily available.
*EDIT:
And a flashable zip! Thank you jellybellys!
**EDIT:
Just to elaborate about that flashable zip, it will actually "permanently" (until you wipe and install another ROM) disable the radio and clean out the apps that you don't want. Also installs some kind of binaries if they're currently absent from the ROM. Great find, I'm glad you asked about this!
exactly, my first thought would be just to use titanium backup and disable/freeze but not remove apps such as dialer or what you dont want/need. not sure if this will work but its worth a try. probably a few treads across xda on this (especially on older model phones) id search in those and see if there is a quick answer short of developing a whole new rom
Yeah I use that zip from jellybean but like android.process forced close alone with like sms app this is all on miui

So you used the zip, and once booted those processes were force closing?
I'll try it out on my phone, see if I can't replicate the issue and speak with the dev. Exactly what MIUI build are you on?
*EDIT:
Installed on EliteMod 120316 and upon first boot did get something about the mms process FC'ing. Upon subsequent reboots no more message though, have you tried another reboot? You had two processes FC?

So that's the MIUI.us "Pure English?" I've just downloaded the last available build and will soon flash and then install jellybellys's zip. I'm hoping that will get me the same FC's as you are.
Once you've gotten home after the weekend, try rebooting it a time or two and see if it consistently gives you the FC's.
Also, just curious, but are you using MIUI just because it's the most similar Android overlay to iOS? To make it a bit easier for your friend? Because you could hook him up with some ICS goodness otherwise
*EDIT:
Ok, looking through his updater-script vs. my /system/app/ directory, it looks like MIUI names a couple of apk's differently. I'm currently installing a fresh MIUI so that I can see the directory before moddified by the OG jellybellys zip, then I'll update his zip to reflect those different names and try to run it again. If successful, I'll post the modified file and hopefully we can get your friend a fun little multi-tasking media player
Ok sweet umm can u send me the edit zip
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
Had a good look at the flashable zip, very simple. I need to learn to code, I guess this is a good small place to start lol
All I did was unzip his file, change a few things and added a couple extra lines to remove one more app he hadn't worried with. As said above this will disable your radio, install the radiooptions binary if absent, and remove a number of apk's from the /system/app/ directory.
Removed apps:
TelephonyProvider.apk - cellular service
TelocationProvider.apk - emergency location service (I just don't see the need if you're not connecting to cellular networks)
Phone.apk - your phone app - should also get rid of dialer, I'm trying to find out why it doesn't.
Mms.apk - messaging app
All credit to jellybellys @ rootzwiki.com of course, I couldn't have written this myself or anything.
jellybellys-mod-wifionly-MIUI
Again, the phone app will still be on the homescreen and you actually can't remove it. It won't dial anything, and will just cause the acore process to FC if you try. It's looking like the only way to get it really removed is to modify the ROM's zip so that it never installs the app to begin with.
I'm going to restore the apps again, see if Titanium Backup can't do a better job than outright removing the app does.
