Install Express: Quickly install ALL cabs

I'm not sure if somebody has already put this cab somewhere on XDA, but in case no one has, here's an app that allows you to install all cabs in your TP2 quickly & silently. I found it somewhere on the Internet. Now you don't have to install every single cab and go through the installation process over and over again.
This app:
- is useful for those who are fond of hard-resetting their tp2 or flashing new roms..
- Works great on TP2.. (at least it does on mine)
Just install the cab on your tp2 & run the program. You'll figure out how everything works from there. The app is in French, but the ZIP file below includes the setup for English. Install the setup if you want the app in English.

Working??
Sounds great!! Does any one have any screen shots of this? or can confirm this works?

It works

Hi monotonyallthetime...
I can confirm it works.. it really does & the installation process is quite fast.. It even works as a background app
I'll post the screenshots pretty soon..

You now it is a very old idea? On most roms you can find UC (for user customization) that do the same. Search the forum for this one.

Thanks

Thanks for the notification.. I'll go check it now..

Or you can use Sashimi, which has also been around a long time, to do the same thing plus even more. And it is in English and well supported.

App in English..?

After you installed the English setup, the app would still be in French. Ignore this first and go the last tab on the app. You'll see a box that says 'French'. Click that box and an option box will appear. You'll see 'English' there. Click 'English' and the app will show up in English straight away..

Thanks

Boy I'll second the vote for Sashimi. I have mail, wifi, and most all my apps auto setup after a ROM flash. Works great once you spend the time to set it up. Only problems are some ROM's need different apps (is Opera already at 9.7, does it include an auto-lock, task switcher, etc) but it's a very cool program:

Is this the version for the droid?
UPDATE: And yes, it is the same one that ships with the droid. Better but still no email access.

The Facebook site is better than any application !
Not the mobile one (m.facebook.com), but this one: http://touch.facebook.com/?w2m#home.php

I LOVE the new startup screen with the six big icons ! very nice !!

I'm probably being dim, but where does it tell me if I have a new message?

I totally agree with you. I don't understand how it is possible that an app couldnt be better than a website...
Because we have a lot of really skillful developers using Android and Facebook...

my hero is from denmark ans when i click on facebook for android i get the 1.01 app????

The advantage of an app is the ability to have notifications, a web site would not be able to do this.

Well of course the application needs to have a notifications feature in order to provide notifications
If it doesn't then it may not be any better than the web site... which is the debate here I guess

This is still not out on Market yet... will it be released for download on Market?

Eventually.

can anybody use these?

i found these high res icons on deviantart. they look freaking awesum but i have no idea how to place them on my hero to replace the default icons. anybody have a clue how to do it or maybe you can use them.
http://bharathp666.deviantart.com/art/Android-Icon-Templates-150559012

heres the zip of them too. i dunno if someone can make these so we can flash them or maybe make an apk file?

they are the 2.1 icons. if you go into the market and search android 2.1 you will find the icon pack. only hitch is you have to have bettercut to use them
I would like to see a rom cooked with these icons though as I like them better than the stock 1.5

gbhil's 1.6 AOSP ROM has them cooked in BTW... couldn't you just open the PSD files in Photoshop, save them as .png (or w/e they have to be), then add them in following the tutorial for skinning Fresh 1.1?

yeah you probably could im just really tired right now and being lazy but I will more than likely do it.
and I have tried that 1.6 build but im not a big ran of the vanilla roms

Same here, but they are actually nice once you install the HTC IME and push the Googlebits to it. I just wish I could get SMS working haha.

i would use gbhils 1.6 because I love the vanilla look so much more just i need bluetooth to work

well according to this thread: http://forum.androidcentral.com/wallpapers-ringtones-themes/5231-icon-packs.html you can use that zip file and flash it like any other add on. i tried and got an error about google signing missing or something? i just wondered if anybody could look into it and maybe make something we can flash or even an apk we can install on our hero's? i really don't want a homescreen replacement as ive tried panda and didn't like it. i just want to change the icons up.

sorry guys im not trying to be a pain but like others i have my hero set up like i want but the only missing thing is changing the icons up. id try to make an apk or zip i can flash but i have no clue where to start and probably don't have time tonight to do it. the funny thing is in that link i posted "where i got the zip from" he says you can flash this but when i tried i got an error half way through.
plus the fact im new to the hero and im still learning this stuff.

just download bettercut and the android 2.0 icon pack if you want the easiest way to do it

If it needs to be signed, I'm pretty sure you can do that in Flipz's pre-kitchen. Once I finish my homework (high school ) I'll see if I can sign the .zip and then I'll upload it.

jus signing the zip isnt going to do anything as it is just an image file. for it to actually change the icons you would have to go into framwork-res on the rom you are useing change the icon pngs inside the correct apk. then add an update script and zip and sign it.

i don't know much, but in that zip contains all the png's already. i assume we would just have to make a script to execute the install? i dunno just a thought as im clueless about it.

yeah i installed open home full and the icon pack. WOW it looks like crap. icons are all distorted. i hope we can get this working , if not maybe ill go in and try to modify fresh 1.1 rom's icons myself tomorrow and reflash it.

well looks like im going to be up for awhile so maybe ill start work on the files.

THX Sound System bootscreen/sound

Eh, here's a better one.
Download:
Bootscreen: http://www.mediafire.com/?ph1fb37x495moeq
Bootsound: http://www.mediafire.com/?kvovzrjr99b8ixx
(remember to rename the bootsound to PowerOn.mp3 and back the old one up!)
Enjoy and please provide feedback!

looking nice

Thanks! Do you have any requests for other bootscreens?

sorry for this, haven't tried changing bootsound, basically how do you change that one? thanks man

Back the original one up in /system/sounds/lgeSounds/PowerOn.mp3, download this one, rename it to PowerOn.mp3 and put it in the same place.

Could u make a bootscreen of HP Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu

Depends if it's bootable.

You know how to change is it our in this case add it in miks Cm7 rom

Umm, well if you want it in that ROM I'll go speak to Mik.

Well I posted out in the thread never got a response I don't want our in the rom I just want to know how to do it

Hmm... To tell you the truth, I have no idea. I am using the stock v20g ROM + root and tweaks btw. You should go find the special tutorial for applying bootscreens on the V or your ROM.

Applying the bootanimation is cake. I should have been more clear. The sound file folder doesnt exist in the path listed above. Ive tried various different things to get this to work and asked about it before in other threads. But nobody knows.
Thanks for the reply guess Ill go rip apart the stock rom and see where virgin hides their sounds.

Ah, I see. Yeah, guess you gotta do that if the sound is not the same as the original LG one (you can check that out in a recent video on my YouTube channel).

Custom watch faces SmartQ ZWatch

I changed almost watches in the WatcWidget apk.
Includes Hungarian, Italian, Russian languages too.
You can install the zip files as the ROM file.
Copy this apk file in the Total Commander to "\system\app directory ( need 7.4 version ADB plugin ) :fingers-crossed:
If not recognized the windows your watch, first enable the USB debug : go Settings >About and tap 5x on the "Model number" ,and install the ADB Driver for SmartQ Zwatch
My results are :cyclops::
- Update.zip works with some ROMS only (not from 3.3 version) I don't know why, tried it many times. Use it your RISK only.
- You can copy the apk file into the ROM with TotalCom. just the ROM is if rooted !!! There are rooted ROM-s here and 4PDA forum here (use chrome and automatic translater , need registration )
- You can copy the watcwidget.apk into the ROM before you want to install it (rooted and unrooted )
I changed the varied background watch face. The longer subtitles fit already, as the "thunderstorms"
If I helped you, don't forget the thanks button!:good:

These look good

I love it! But in spanish the weather watchface isn't good
Can you compile it for me with this translation? Only changed any weather text to fit in 2 lines and not in 3.

Maybe need the root if you want to replace the WatchWidget.apk file, one more need switch on the "USB debugging".
There are some rooted ROM already (Maja's DJ ROM on the XDA, and more on the Russian forum (4PDA) )

Which version ROM do you use? (I'm sure it works from 3.0 to 3.5 version ) and not need root .
Sometimes after update doesn't start normaly the watch. I think try again.

So after this conversation i understand that i have to reinstall a new version of rom included the watch faces.and i cant put/replace/paste i a directory, a file with the watch faces.am i right?

It's very simple.
Use totalcommander and a picture editor( photoshop ,photofiltre studio , etc)
Not decompile the "WatchWidget.apk" , just open it in totalcommander and copied from the
"\WatchWidget.apk\res\drawable-mdpi\ " directory the png files to an empty directory. If modified those copy into back the apk (overwrite).
Important: set the value in the TC configuration >Zip packer >Internal Zip compression >other =0 !
If compression bigger than zero, then the apk file will not work!!! : :crying:
