scenes exporting?

Hi,
Is there a way to export the scenes you have saved on your phone and reflash them or reinsert them after a new rom install?
I dont always like having to place every app back where it belongs and hopefully not forgetting the layout or what panel they belong on.
Is there a way through the cmd? adb?

Yea that part melts my brain! I'm currently doing that right now on the new ZenEXP-0.8.8.1 MyTouch Slide Espresso ROM... It's a keeper! lol

i think it would be quite helpful if there was a way to do
i cant find much about it in the web..

I never mess with scenes, but I've had luck with titanium backup (for root users only) backing up and restoring sense/home/launcher2. I never use more than one "scene" with sense though, so I don't know how it would handle that.

is there a single file that all the information is stored in and maybe i can grab that from the system/ and push it back after a rom install, considering it is the same type of rom?
Does anyone know its location too, if it is a single or a few files?

Couple of problems for CS user with Cyanogen 6

Hopefully this is the right place to post this question. I have installed the latest stable Cyanogen rom, but I'm running into a couple of problems:
1. I cannot send text messages that are more than a few words in length. I suspect this to be because the ROM was written with Sprint's settings, and those settings simply won't work with Cellular South users. Am I right in that there is something that I must change to get my texts to work correctly with Cellular South?
2. Reboots - this one is rather annoying. There is really no rhyme or reason as to why it does this. I can reboot my phone, and it will just sit there, with only SipDroid running in the background (as far as apps that I have added that are running), and my phone will reboot itself every few hours. Now, one thing that did happen was the 2GB MicroSD card that came with the phone died, and I replaced it with a Class 6 8GB MicroSD card. I can't remember if I had the reboot problems prior to that. Any suggestions to help me try to isolate the cause of this?
Thanks everyone.

Bump. Sorry about bumping this thread. Just do not want to have to go back to my stock ROM.

You need the APN settings for cs I think.

Does it by chance reboot when your GPS comes on? Open Maps (or anything you know will cause the GPS to become active) and see what happens. If so try the GPS fix. Used to be able to type ##GPSCLRX#, in Sense but you can't in CM, but there is a fix.

@ranger - it reboots even when the GPS is off (I generally keep it off). Thanks for the suggestion though. Maybe I just need to wipe it and reflash? Couldn't hurt I suppose.
@mrinehart - thanks. I'll do some searching for the "APN Settings" for Cellular South.

What's your total setup with cm6? Like kernel, overclock app and what not? But I believe all cdma users have the 160 character limit with the stock messenging app but if you use handcent or chomp you can bypass this by checking the split thread option in settings. Hopefully after hearing your setup I can help you figure out what's causing the reboots

@ThaSik1 - I was using just the stock messaging app. I didn't realize there was a limitation in the stock messaging app. My setup was just CM6 stable with the gapps installed. The only other apps that I had running constantly were Sipdroid (used for my GV + Gizmo5), and for overclock, I had been using the Overclock Widget. I have restored my stock CS ROM for now - but will applying the CM 6.1 RC1 ROM today.
Let me ask this - my stock CS ROM is 2.1. Would it be worthwhile to copy my APN configuration file from my stock ROM over the CM 6.1 configuration file? Or, would that cause problems?

To my knowledge it shouldn do any harm because the apn file that comes with Cyanogen roms dont have our carrier listed in it anyways. And if it does cause problems, i'll just attach my apn file (which is a modified version of cyanogen's to include Cellular south). But I dont think apn's do much good unless you have picture messaging..dont quote me on that tho lol As for your reboots, i can't see why it would be rebooting like that..If you wiped data and dalvik/cache, then flashed the rom, followed by gapps you should be good. Only thing i can actually see giving you problems would be if you had it overclocked too high since all heroes can't handle the 768 frequency

Flash Deca’s capped kernel to stop the random reboots

I do have picture messaging on my plan - I take it I will need to go ahead and use my a CS APN file. If you don't mind, then yes - please do post the Cellular South APN file that you have. I really do appreciate your help your help. This forum rocks!
I have installed CM6 RC1, and everything seems to work great. I took your advice on not using the stock messaging app and am using Handcent instead. I set it to split the messages. That appears to have fixed the texting problem. Handcent reminds me of my old iPhone texting setup, which I really liked. I have also set the Overclock to max at 691 to make sure that I don't run it too high (or too hot for that matter).

hahahaha no problem honestly i'm just paying it forward my good friend cuz i was once in your shoes lol.. To use the apn file i'm attaching, use an app from the market called "apn backup & restore".. install the app, use a file manager to place the attached file in the folder labeled "ApnBackupRestore", then open the apn app, click delete apns, then click restore apns. You might also need to reboot for it to take affect too lol and sorry to step on your toes in case you already know all of this info But i really hope Cm6.1 works out well for you cuz my Csouth hero is loving it!! haha
P.S. the xml file inside the attached zip is what you wanna place inside the folder lol

Wow, thank you again for your help on this. And no, you certainly weren't stepping on my toes. Thanks for the steps to take - I wasn't sure how to do any of that to be honest and would have been searching this forum for a long while most likely.
So far, CM6.1 has been rocking! I'll let you know how the APN goes. Thanks again!

@ThaSik1 - so far, all of the texts seem to be working great. Thanks again for your help! It really is appreciated.

No problem lol glad I could help honestly I always send myself a picture message just to make sure the settings stuck lol but if you run into any issues just shoot me a pm or maybe Impaler cuz he's more knowledgeable about this stuff then me

Thanks. And go easy on us in the Egg Bowl this year. It's going to be an ugly blowout......... lol
Now, I just need to get rid of where it says Sprint. I think that's been covered in the forum somewhere, as I think I remember seeing that topic.

Ha hey you know us dogs go all or nothing man hahaha but I can help ya with that sprint text issue lol I have the Eri.XML file ya need in order to change that but I can't post it from my phone..give me a sec and I'll boot up the laptop to attach it
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Edit: With this file (eri.xml), you need a file manager with root access (i know with estrong you can go to settings, scroll to the very bottom where root options is, then check the root explorer tab and mount file system. Once you back outta the settings copy the eri.xml file, look in the upper left corner and touch the slash button to end up on the root of your phone) Okay from there you wanna find the system/app folder and then paste the eri.xml file there. All ya need to do then is reboot and you should be good lol

Thanks for the help. I copied that eri.xml into the system/app folder and rebooted, but my lock screen is still showing Sprint. I noticed that there wasn't an eri.xml in the system/app folder to start with. Perhaps that has been changed to a different location in the CM6.1 build?

That or i told you the wrong destination lol..my bad..Mine says its listed in the "/data" folder..try that and let me know if it works for ya

Dell launcher works on sgs

Found this looking around the forums runs smooth on the bionix 2.2 build...install then reboot for smooth runnings...enjoy.
Might need some minor tweaks but looks clean.

Nice, I'll try this. Downloading now. Thanks for the heads up.

Yea I'm running it now...thinking of some tweaks needed for memory and style on the widgets but other than that running like silk.

Did you have to rename the file to install?
EDIT: nm, didn't read.

Phone icon on launcher does NOT work

I was just gonna say that. Dialer shortcut not working.

I can't log on to FB from the widget. But so far I like it. Looking good.

looks good... Thanks.

wow looks nice i may try this in a few days still thinking about going obsidian so this may be my launcher of choice for the new build

Yea dialer is broken but ill see what I can come up with...at work now ill see what I can fix after I get home and get the kids in bed...haven't had time to look at it too much yet
Sent from this mobile thinggy...

I tried it yesterday and it was a pretty cool concept. You are right about needing some tweaking though. It would be awesome if this could take the place of Touchwiz in a 2.2 ROM. I might have to get out the good old Rom Chef handbook...

The launcher needs to look different imo, everything else looks good. I like how swiping up brings up the tray that's pretty slick. I'd be happy with the stock TW launcher look to be honest.

has anybody found a work around for the Phone button?
I when into Super Task Manager and I see the Phone.apk, because on the original Thread said to rename it to that in case it didn't work but it is already Phone.apk.

Phone Button is like Froyo launcher2.
You will need to smali it & edit to according.

yes sir.

Just got home and kids refuse to sleep atm...yea a simple rename is all it is calling for a simple rename of the phone.apk should fix the issue I just haven't torn apart the launcher apk yet so I'm unsure of the name if the kids crash out soon I can start the digging...lol...gotta love kids...they are like living with full time drunks....you never know what they are going to do next or where they hid you power supply for the laptop at...
Sent from this mobile thinggy...

Just digging into it myself - 614,165,225 files in there - any hints where it is in there?
Edit - Are there apps or system files that rely on "Phone.apk"? Will it be easier to change the name that dell looks for rather than changing the name of the apk?
Edit 2 - No luck here...

Been digging threw lines of code in the launcher looking for all the files and apks it calls for might be a day or so before I have this fixed...back to 18 hour days at work do this will have to be spare time project...

Running this now. Phone icon works. All widgets besides music, which gets immediate force close when trying and facebook not login are working. Pretty smooth. Im getting some force close on miuui music player, could be unrelated. Fairly useable on my superfast vibrant, froyo of course : )

Help Opening up Android IMG.

Okay i have a dilemma, here's the short version..
I'm a music writer and i usually use my phone to compose/write the lyrics to my songs. I made the mistake of composing a note on a notepad program (don't remember which, i just know it was a good one from the market). Well, that was my first mistake; write something on a build i was basically test driving. I installed androidlock and after rebooting the screen stayed black, buttons worked, people could call me etc etc basically a working phone except the androidlockscreen app kept the screen from starting up.
Here is my request; Can anyone show me a way to open up a Android Data.IMG file so i can extract that piece of writing that's so important to me? i just need that one document.
I'm running Windows 7 x64 and Dual Booting Ubuntu 10.04 so if linux is needed, obviously i have that covered. Please step by step, I'd donate to who ever help's me as soon as i get my paycheck

fyi; I'm running another build (finlly stable and fully working) so i have the IMG file on my desktop, not in my phone.

[Q] Edit Mini Apps tray on 6810?

I apologize if this has been discussed, I really did search and only found one place where this was asked, but there was no answer. According to the Samsung 7.7 features page it says this "Mini Apps : Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. You can easily access favorite features such as Calendar, Email, or PenMemo as a pop up over full screen applications. " So obviously my question is this. How is this done? Or is it even possible on my model? Thank you and again sorry of this has already been addressed.

If you look at the bottom bar on your Tab you will see an icon that looks like an upside down 'v'. Click on it and it will bring up your mini-apps tray. You can launch those mini apps over the app you are in.

I think you misunderstood my question. I know about the up/ down arrow and the mini apps. But it says that is is Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. So Im trying to figure out how to change them if its possible on the wifi only 6810. Thanks

Im not totally sure which one I used, but it might have been the one in post 19. But that one will change the icons as well. Im not sure where you might get one that is stock. The same author of that thread "Ssaass" makes an app called "Wizzbar" that might help you. I may be able to make one for you. Upload your systemui.apk and Ill see what I can do.

Ok, didnt think I forgot about you did you? I think this is what your looking for. The edit function shows up when you press the mini apps button. Lower right corner, cant miss it. This is all stock icons with edit function built in. Hope this is what you wanted. I tested this on my rooted stock 6810. Let me know if it works.
PS: For anyone that might want to know how I did it. All I did was use the "layout" folder in the Res folder from the apk that has the edit function. Then rezipped, changed name and permissions, and put back into system/ app.

Awesome... Thanks for your time. I'll try it when i get home tonight. I'm thanking you now anyway...
