first of all much thanks for all the awesome work.im a super nube,i didnt even anything like this forum existed until a couple of weeks ago.im trying to install the fix for changing the color of ALL the text in cookies home tab.the fix said to extract the manilla file to \windows(overwrite existing file) and restart sence.i get to the part where i have extracted the manila file but i dont know what to do next.i cant find a \windows option.i appreciate any input and sorry if my nubeness is causing me to miss something obvious.i have a new tmobile hd2.
use a file explorer to copy the file into the \Windows folder.
thanks for the input mastajest but i still cant figure it out.the extracted file is in my documents i long click it and my options are-send via bluetooth,cut,copy ,rename,delete,and send-i choose copy and it goes back to my documents.i back out of my documents and long click windows folder and i get the same options when i long click the extracted file.im not sure what to do next.

When you're looking in the folder you want it to end up in, hit the menu button in the bottom right, then "edit", then "paste"
thanks sirphunkee i got it in the windows folder but it didnt fix the tex color issue im gonna go back to the fix post and read it carefully to make sure i did everything right.thanks again.
i read the fix instructions again and i think im suposed to actually find the specific file and replace it with the fix file but since i have no idea what that file is i think im stuck.thanks again for the awesome forums and all the help.

joe, can you point me to the thread you're talking about? I'll go check it out and see if I can get you through the steps.
its in the 1st post of the cookies home tab thread you scroll down and there is a part that says known issues and its the fix correcting the text color issue(when you change the text color but not all the text color on the home screen changes to the color you want).i wish i knew how to post a link so you dont have to waste your time searching.im pretty new to all this but learning.i think if i knew the specific file in the windows folder that im suposed to replace with the fix file it would work but there is like a kabillion files in the folder.much thanks for all your help.

Ok, it's simpler than you think lol. That file (5DED22E8_manila) inside the zip you downloaded just needs to be copied to the windows folder...if you do that correctly, you should get a prompt asking if you want to overwrite an existing file, click yes, and then soft-reset.
awesome!that did it.it didnt work at first but that was because i renamed the file to something more recognizable.i deleted it and copy the original file without renaming it and it worked just like you said.thanks for all the help.

No problem, glad it worked!
I should (have) give you fair warning too...be very careful when tinkering with your manila files like this, they're the crucial elements of your Sense interface. I would strongly recommend you make a backup copy of every "manila_" file in your \windows directory, it could save you a hard reset someday if any of them get corrupted along the way

Hello All,
I found this on another board for my friend who is a BIG NASCAR fan and got it to work on her Mogul by following the included instructions. I have tested and it is working. The final test will be during this weekends race. Keep in mind that it's a Java App and you will need Java installed. The stylis isn't used, you have to use the arrow keys to control.
Enjoy, I will try to support it any way I can, but no promises.

I don't think this is possible because of the procedure to get it working. A cab file cannot determine what the file name of the file created is, (At least as far as I know).
i must have done something wrong. I followed the instructions correctly I thought.
Using the second set of files that Brett posted I was able to get it to work and I'm not even a sprint customer. Here is what I did:
1. Copied the following files from Brett's zip file into the \Windows\Appdb\ directory. s40__d0.db,s40__d1.db,s40__d2.db,s40_suite.jar,s40 _suite.utf.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had no appdb directory, so I created one, then copied all 5 files into it. I didnt however copy the bin directory over, since it didnt mention that....
I also tried copying with the folder and running things from inside the folder....
Excluding the above files make a note of the highest set of numbered files that starts with an s.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had no files in there.....
2. Using my phones file explorer I browsed to \windows\appdb and opened s40_suite.jar.
3. I went through the normal install steps and received the same error that everyone did.
4. Closed java.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that worked fine, java ran, but it never got to an error. Just a white screen with exit and pause on the soft keys.
5. On your phone browse to the \windows\appdb\ folder.
6. There should be 2 new .jar and .utf files that that start with 's' and are one number higher then the number you made a note of earlier.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there were a bunch of s0 fies
7. On you PC rename all 5 files by replacing the 40 in each file's name with the number of the new file that was created.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
went back to the original files from the zip file and renamed them all to s0
8. Copy all 5 files to \windows\appdb
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
copied everything back over and overwrote whatever files it asked to
9. Open java and launch app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Went back to Resco and ran the s0 jar file that I had just copied back over.
No good. I get a 955 error

The attached zip file has 2 exe files in it. Just unzip it and copy both files to your device. It's pretty obvious from the name what each of the files does, but you need to restart your device for the changes to take effect. (Please note - this will only turn off the default windows lockscreen. If you've got a different one installed this will not affect it.)
Basically, run lockscreen_disable and restart your device. You can run lockscreen_enable at a later date if you ever need to turn the lockscreen back on.
Hope it helps mate

You can either unzip the 2 files (both exe files) and copy them to your phone, or copy the zip file to the phone and unzip it there. Either way doesn't matter.
Once unzipped, you click the exe file of your choice and it runs, but you won't see anything change till you restart your phone.
I really threw them together quickly, which is why they're so basic, but they should do the trick though
Thanks John. I've been looking for ways to disable my Exchange email policy lockscreen.
Nothing I've seen and tried works so far.
Will your exe files work to disable/enable this Lockscreen?

You'll probably do more CABS, so I suggest creating a CAB folder on the root of your SD card... Easier to keep track, then.

I have the tablet version .apk installed that was posted in the collection of Transformer apps, I think in the Xoom forum. Anyways, it opens fine before it force closes, but when I try to open my resume it crashes. I tried installing it outright and also putting in system/app. Both ways give the same results, it opens then crashes when opening a file. I cleared the data, reset the device, nothing.

Did you check the apk details to see if there's some sort of license/drm check?
Many apps and games are now coming with a license check, just like computer software to make certain people aren't pirating them. Something could be checking for a serial number.
I don't know if that's a paid version too. If so, I'm pretty sure discussing pirated apps is against ToS. If it's a freely available thing then, no worries. I'm waiting, maybe forever for a LibreOffice port to Android. Probably be a long while, dunno how well Dalvik and something that big would play together.

That's true, it may be a paid app. If so I'm not trying to do anything that's frowned upon here. I do know that the app isn't available in the market yet. I think I'm gonna put this off for a while and see what happens with the official release because it's obviously not working right now.
From what little I can learn Polaris Office comes preiinstalled on the Transformer tablet only. I found advice that I needed to move two lib files over to system/lib to make it work. Well I only found one lib file, copied to system/lib and still crashes. I can get it display some stuff but it won't let me start a new doc or read an exist in doc. There are some nice YouTube videos showing how it works, and it looks real nice. I hope some can figure it out.
Look at this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114100
The two files are libpolarisoffice_Clipboard.so and libpolarisoffice.so. It works fine for me without any FCs.
Yep, It Works For Me Too..
but you have to push the two lib files to system/lib using ADB (or Root Explorer)
Thanks for the names of the two file...it works! I am amazed at how this info is found and shared

Perfect, thank you. I knew there had to be a way.
However (you just knew there was going to be a however!), Polaris Office loads OK, but many of the functions don't work. For example I am able to type in text for a new document but very few of the tools at the top work and I can't highlight any portions of the text. There must still be something missing to make it work correctly. When I do a check for updates within the program it says I am up to date. Any one else seeing these problems?

I found a couple of YouTube videos by andyxover that I was able to try out. I could do all of his examples.
The problems/limitations that jumped out at me were
(1) you can not move pictures around in a document (MS Word limits you also)
(2) in spreadsheets you have to type in the blind when you are making enties into boxes
I need to ply around more to get a better feel for this UI.

1. Yes you can. Single tap on the image and it will select.. Then you can move it where you want within reason.
2. There is no "in cell" editing. Editing is in the text box at the top of the screen.

Hello, I was readig your posts looking for help and maybe you can help me, as I can see you solved the problem.
I have an Acer Iconia A500 w/Honeycomb and tryed to install Polaris Office.
I donwloaded the P.O. files and read the txt file: (Using root explorer or adb, push the two lib files to system/lib.).
Downloaded and install rootexplorer, copy to pen drive "lib files", opened rootexplorer, copied lib files then went to System File, opened lib file, did hit paste and a warning message says this file is reading only.
I began to investigate and found that needed to root the device, I did it and tested with root checker, it said it was rooted succesfully, and then repited the hole process, again, read only file.
I was reading posts and found that what I think is the problem, "Fix permissions", so it let me paste the 2 lib files. But still havent found the answer to this. Is there a step I missed? or I'm just doing it all wrong?
I thought if I could find the way to solve the "fix permissions" problem and could paste the 2 lib files in System/lib folder it would be the solution, but can´t paste the 2 files. What should I do?
Thanks in advance for reading and helping me.
It's kind of funny.
You've missed an option in Rootexplorer. It has a button on the top corner that says "Mount R/W" press it and copy the files. You have an old version of rootexplorer if it doesn't have that option.
Ok, here goes:
OPEN Rootexplorer,
top right is the Remount as R/W button, click on it and it changes to Remount R/O
found MNT folder and click, foun usb_storage folder and click,
found the folder I made with 2 lib files and click,
Multiselect and mark: libpolarisoffice.so and libpolarisoffice_Clipboard.so files and Copy
Back to System folder and then to lib folder, click PASTE and " You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only.
What happen??? What am I doing wrong?

Opened the system file folder, found the lib file folder, opened and tried to paste:
the same answer "You cannot paste here because the system file is read-only"
But I noticed something, when I click R/W it changes to R/O, when I open system folder to Paste the Remount automaticaly changes to R/W again after it was R/O, I don´t know if it something important to this case, afted denied access I cilk the remount button again, just to see if it changes to R/O, but it doesn´t.
I usually just copy the files and then press the r/w button and paste. I don't leave the folders. You shouldn't have problems if you're rooted.

I don't know for sure, but I think it will be difficult (or let's say not worth it). You will need to find that apk (provided it is actually an apk), decompile it, find the text you want to edit inside the strings.xml (if it actually has one) and edit it, recompile it, (maybe you'll need to sign it, too) and then hope that it works (at least that's me when I try to edit apks).
I don't think it's just a text file that you edit, but I could be wrong. You can wait for more experienced users. For that, I suggest posting this in the general android forum's appropriate sub-forum. (not here in the HD2 section). You will get more responses there.
EDIT:
Done a little search and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344399
Not sure if it's applicable to the version of android you're running, but it's worth a shot. It also tells you where the text is.
