Adding blur alarm to Fission ROM - Droid X General

For those of you that felt in love with the Blur Alarm and looking for a way to add it back. I have figured out the missing files beside the apk that goes in the system\app. This has been tested with sucess for Fission ROM v2.0.1.
Adding Blur alarm
system\app\BlurAlarmClock.apk
framework\blur-res.apk
framework\com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
Hope it help.

nice,
I prefer the blur alarm over the normal one.
but here is my problem, the dock is DeskClock.apk, which is also the Clock and the alarms,
when I replace it with the Dock.apk, then the dock won't start up,
did you try to do that?
I'm getting the following exception, and have no clue on how to fix that Oo
Code:
11-04 00:39:22.031 2063 2063 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.motorola.dlauncher/com.motorola.dlauncher.DLauncher}: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 10048 nor current process has android.permission.DEVICE_POWER.

What ROM are you using? I renamed the original DeskClock.apk to DeskClock.bak since I don't have a docking station. May be it has something to do with the dlauncher. I also deleted the original launcher2 and replaced it with launcherpro.apk.

Fission 2.0.2
I basically did the same with the DeskClock.apk
but added the Dock.apk from the clean verizon rom (which is basically the "stock" droid2), I guess I'm simply missing something
btw, com.motorola.dlauncher is Dock.apk
I guess something is still missing which would set the missing permission oO

got it to work...
if someone cares:
I had to manually modify the /data/system/packages.xml
it should contain something like this:
Code:
<package name="com.motorola.dlauncher" codePath="/system/app/Dock.apk" flags="1" ts="1288859615000" version="8" userId="10057">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="1" />
</sigs>
</package>
userId and ts are probably different
change the cert index to 0 !
reboot (right after it, for example with adb reboot)
after reboot, check that your change is still in this file (should be)
put your phone into the docking station, and the blur dock should start
yay

lol, this default blur alarm app is awesome and best I have seen. I was so surprised at what it wanted me to do when I first woke up to it , lol

I am not using fission and I am using Rubix 1.6.
I can only find the bluralarm.apk file and I can't find
framework\blur-res.apk
framework\com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
Do i have to nandroid back to a blurry room to pick these up or are they available somewhere else?
Thanks

get the vzw clean rom (or so) from droid2files.com (http://droid2files.com/roms/VZW_2.4.5_Clean_ROM.zip)
everything should be in it...

Perfect; thanks much.

Question?
How do I add this to my phone and make it work? Do I need to use ADB and move it to the phone or what? I really liked the blur alarm a lot and would like to get that back if I can. Thanks for any help in advance.

You just need a method to transfer the files to the phone to the correct spot
ADB or root explorer can move the files
I will show the adb method below, you can substitute the adb shell, mount, cp (copy), chmod (change permissions), and rm (delete) steps with Root Explorer
ADB
Open a command prompt
cd to the directory where you have the files on your computer
Code:
adb push BlurAlarmClock.apk /sdcard/BlurAlarmClock.apk
adb push blur-res.apk /sdcard/BlurAlarmClock.apk
adb push com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar /sdcard/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
Then adb shell to the phone, mount system as r/w, copy the files to the system
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/BlurAlarmClock.apk /system/app/BlurAlarmClock.apk
cp /sdcard/blur-res.apk /system/framework/blur-res.apk
cp /sdcard/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar /system/framework/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
Then set the permissions on these files so they will work
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/BlurAlarmClock.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/blur-res.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
You can then remove the files from the sdcard if you wish
Code:
rm /sdcard/BlurAlarmClock.apk
rm /sdcard/blur-res.apk
rm /sdcard/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
Now mount the system as read-only again
Code:
sync
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
As for the Blur dock
Use the same steps above to copy the file and move it to the system
Code:
adb push Dock.apk /sdcard/Dock.apk
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Dock.apk /system/app/Dock.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Dock.apk
sync
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /sdcard/Dock.apk
Next pull the packages.xml file
Code:
adb pull /data/system/packages.xml
Edit packages.xml as shown in the above post
Then push back
Code:
adb push packages.xml /data/system/packages.xml
When you "install" the blur dock, you might want to remove the standard android dock
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
mv /system/app/DeskClock.apk /system/app/DeskClock.bak
sync
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Notice I just used mv (rename/move)
This is just in case I want it back later
You may need to reboot the phone when you are finished for this to work.
I never tried without rebooting so I don't know if they will work otherwise.

cp: write error: no space left on device in system

I have been having this error message come up using the terminal. I was attempting to add the volume enhancements via Lucid's script on the hybrid JF 1.51 with the HTC apps. I have asked Lucid if he knew how to solve this, but i wanted to see if anyone else might know the solution. I have been searching on here and also on google and yahoo but I have yet to find anything. I even took out my sd card to see if that would help after restarting my phone but nothing. Did i just screw myself?

i'm not privvy to lucid's script, but..
remount /system rewrite
do a cp -f to the files you are replacing
remount /system read-only
if you still get no space left, reboot your phone, then try again.

forgive my ignorance but do I type this in terminal as is? Because when I do that it cannot find remount.
I think I found the problem as to why I saw that error. I went from JFs-1.51 US built to the hybrid one that cyanogen did (the JF-1.51 + HTC apps) and I think there maybe something wrong inside there. First wiped and flashed JF's one and then wiped and flashed the cyanogen one and the problem is there.

copy the three files needed for the volume increase (2 if your on JF (AudioFilter and AudioPara4)) on to the sdcard in to lets say a directory named 'audio'. make sure you have unmounted the sdcard from within your OS after you have completed the copy, and have unplugged the USB cable.
open up terminal (on your phone)
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /sdcard/audio
# mkdir BK
# cp -p /system/etc/Audio* ./BK
# cp -f AudioFilter.csv /system/etc
# cp -f AudioPara4.csv /system/etc
# cp -f AudioPara_TMUS.csv /system/etc
# mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# exit
$ exit
bounce your phone.

Thanks for the reply. I am still getting the same error with the JF-1.51+HTC apps build. I told Cyanogen about it and hopefully he will get it sorted out because his built is faster than the regular JF build. I guess I have to decide if the added HTC apps are worth more than the sound increase.

Adding and removing apps from ROMs

I wasnt sure and couldnt find this anywhere but, I was looking through a zip folder of a rom and noticed the apk folder. Am I able to delete different apk's and add apps as well? And If I delete the browser apk can I add dolphin browser to work as my default browser?
Thanks in advance
I´m interested in this too.
I guess that the main problem will be to sign the new zip file once added or removed the apps
Yes, but it won't do you any good unless you also do something else. Ask the same question again in the right section, and I'm sure someone will tell you what it is. I'm not going to here, though. Not to be a jerk or anything, but we can't answer questions here, as posting these question threads clutters the dev section. Besides, you can't get a very good answer here anyway--a mod will lock this thread soon. If you want answers, you have to ask in the Q&A section.

Thanks. I just figured since it was kinda about a rom it would be okay. But yeah you are right
Yeah, but you know how some people are.
You can remove unused/uneeded files by using a Root Manager. Deleting the apk file associated with the particular program you don't want works for me. Make sure you do a Nandroid backup in case you delete something you really needed. Don't for instance delete your virtual keyboard if you only have one.. you will be faced with forced closes.
just push or pull the application through the adb that you want to add or remove from the rom
Amazon MP3 app
I'd love to ditch the US-only Amazon MP3 app from ROMs. Can't uninstall it. Probably need to SU to where it lives & delete it.

There are instructions on how to and what app you are able to delete without it becoming unstable over at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Barebones.
Use ADB.
Or Terminal:
Code:

Simply deleting the apk files will leave the data directories, and entries in packages.xml. Someone suggest command [pm uninstall XXXXX], but I cannot get it work.

You would be smarter to leave it out, he did it since that app ate alot of ram.
Goto the market and get one of the free im apps instead.The tmo version has no feats like custom mess and stuff

I finally find the proper way to uninstall the system apps.
Step #1 - Find the package names of the apps (e.g. IM.apk=com.android.im)
In console, type
su
pm list packages -f
Step #2 - Delete the apk files from /system/app
In console, type
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/IM.apk
Step #3 - Uninstall the package
In console, type
su
pm uninstall com.android.im

Help with installing a theme! Kinda urgent...

Im hoping to get some help to get a theme installed on my phone.
It is rooted successfully, busybox is installed successfully also.
Im trying to put the Minimal Matte theme on my phone, but no success. Actually, I managed to make my Contacts disappear...
So, I would greatly appreciate help! I don't know why the adb commands are not working that are given here:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
adb push DialerTabActivity.apk /system/app/
adb push Settings.apk /system/app/
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb push twframework-res.apk /system/framework/
If I try it like that, the mounting does not work cuz it says "not permitted". So then I try like this and I get this. So it is not working. How do I fix this and how do I get the theme into my phone? Thank you for help,
Here's what I tried:
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
# push Contacts.apk /system/app/
push Contacts.apk /system/app/
push: not found
#
Hey Polar, your commands when you're saying "push Contacts.apk /system/app/" is actually running inside the adb shell.
To do what you did, try this:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
Let me know if this works!
Also, if you downloaded version 1.3, you can always use the automated bat file! Or did that fail for you too?
Please note that your phone must be rooted! Your phone is rooted right?

As stated in the first post, it is rooted and busybox is installed. Now..let me try your tips. I will report back.
Hmm..still facing the "permission denied" with these commands:
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
failed to copy 'Contacts.apk' to '/system/app//Contacts.apk': Permission denied
Okay, let's try it with a different partition used to remount. Try this out
Code:
adb kill server
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
If this doesn't work, try rebooting your phone and trying again.
I hope this works, cause I only have 21 minutes left on my laptop battery life

Tried this, but it seems I have to reboot since it did not work.
It does not let me use "adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system" when I try it. Only when I do the "su" first and then try that...
Now let me try again after reboot.
Still no dice...
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# exit

$ exit

c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/

Okay here are a couple things I've noticed before in the past.
1. The phone could "successfully" be rooted, but not actually work. In this case it's best to re-root your phone. The superoneclick method works well.
2. Maybe adb is just fussing over nothing, so you could try this:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb push Contacts.apk /sdcard/
adb push /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/
My primary guess though is that rooting isn't working properly.

Well, when I go and click the superuser app and all, I can see stuff happening there. Also, it has asked for permission before for adb when I first used it and I gave it. Now it appears on the list there...so it seems to be working correctly, no? And I did it with the superoneclick and it ran through it smoothly as ever. Now let me try if adb is being fussy.
Now what the heck... It pushed the Contacts.apk on the sdcard, but then this...
Code:
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /sdcard/
3170 KB/s (3284674 bytes in 1.011s)
c:\>adb push /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/
cannot stat '/sdcard/Contacts.apk': No such file or directory
And I can clearly see the file in the sdcard...

ADB is being truly fussy! Do you have root explorer? Here is my best guess for you. Move the Contacts.apk to the /system/app/ folder manually with Root Explorer, then follow this guide to give the app root permissions:

Root explorer is a paid app. But maybe ES File Manager or Astro File Manager will give you root capabilities too!
I tried this to go there with root explorer, gave the right permissions..copied the file and navigated to system/apps. Hit paste..and it tells me "not enough space". What to do now? Getting a little desperate here.

There you go! That's the problem. First check this, does Contacts.apk already exist in /system/app/? If so, use these codes:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb rm /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
Repeat for each apk file you want to copy over.
Or alternatively you could just use root explorer, delete Contacts.apk and then move over your Contacts.apk from the sdcard. OR You can uninstall some apps and give yourself some available memory in your /system/app/ folder.
You'll need at least 15mb of free space in /system/app/

If you check settings -> SD card and storage. How much memory does it say you have? If you have less then 10mb either move some apps to the sd card or uninstall some!

Unable to mount System as rw in 7.1.1 DP

I am trying to create an overlay folder under /system/vendor so that I can throw a layers apk there to hide the nav bar. I am currently using the build.prop method which doesn't work nicely with the Now on Tap action of Swipe Navigation which is what I am ultimately trying to fix.
I tried using Solid Explorer to simply create the new directory like I did previously in 7.0 and 6.x but was unable to do so (action failed). I decided to try using the terminal and create the folder and move files from there but got the message that the system was read-only. I then attempted to mount system a few different ways all of which failed. I did use su before entering these commands.
Code:
angler:/system/vendor $ mkdir overlay
mkdir: 'overlay': Read-only file system
angler:/system/vendor $ mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
mount: '/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/system' not user mountable in fstab
angler:/system/vendor $ /system/bin/mount -o rw,remount,rw /system /system
mount: '/system' not in /proc/mounts
angler:/system/vendor $ /system/bin/mount /system
mount: bad /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
Googling around didn't yield much in the way of solutions other than these different methods of mounting system. Am I just unable to mount system as rw in 7.1.1 currently, and if so, is there another way to accomplish what I want?
I'm trying to find thread I read this from, so if I find it I'll post link to it. When I was on early 7 previews that was set up with systemless root I went into twrp and then went to terminal and typed the following, touch su. When your in terminal cd to both bin and xbin and type command "touch su" without quotes. Then reboot and you should be able to use something like es file explorer to get into and write in /system. Hope that helps.
Found it, look to post = 15
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/es-file-explorer-doesnt-understand-t3242775
Unfortunately that did not end up working for me, thanks for looking up the link for me though!
On Nougat the rw mount command should be typed like this:
mount -o rw,remount /system
then for touch:
touch sbin/su
Thank you blitz for clarifying.
Hmm... it seems like the mount worked but the touch did not. I ended up using just "touch su" but ran into a different error with mkdir. I think I may just be out of luck for now. Thank you both for your help!

~ # mount -o rw,remount /system
~ # cd /system/bin
/system/bin # touch sbin/su
touch: sbin/su: No such file or directory
/system/bin # touch su
/system/bin # cd /system/xbin
/system/xbin # touch su
/system/xbin # cd /system/vendor
/vendor # mkdir overlay
mkdir: cannot create directory 'overlay': No space left on device

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish but still:
The touch sbin/su means creating an empty file called su in the sbin subdirectory under the current directory. So if there is no subdir named sbin under /system/bin, then it's not going to work
Secondly, you should know about the ls command: ls -la lists the files in the current directory, and remember than in unix and linux terminology, a directory is also a file so you'll also see directories (including current "." and parent "..")
Third, you should know about the df command which shows filesystem disk space usage. df -h will show you how much free space you have an all of your filesystems, including system.
Last, with great power comes great responsibilities. Running the wrong command as root will easily make your system unusable.
I have substratum installed and inside /system/vendor there is a link (again a file) called overlay which links to directory /system/overlay where apks are.

I am trying to create an overlay folder under /system/vendor so that I can throw a layers apk there to hide the nav bar.

Are you on the 7.1.1 (NPF10C)? If so it sounds like you have accomplished what I am trying to do. I'm only familiar with the basic unix commands as I haven't actively used it in about 5 years. Would you mind sharing how to create the link to /system/overlay from /system/vendor, or does Substratum take care of that? Offhand it sounds like a symbolic link but my terminology is pretty rusty.

Yes 7.1.1.
Substratum created the overlay directory and the link to it.
Manually that would be:
mount -o rw,remount -t auto /vendor
mount -o rw,remount -t auto /system
mkdir /system/overlay
cd /system/vendor
ln -s /system/overlay
mount -o ro,remount -t auto /vendor
mount -o ro,remount -t auto /system
But links do take a very small amount of bytes (roughly name and target) so for that, you'll need some space in your vendor partition (no space left on /vendor). check with "df".
I have 3.8MB free (that's an original vendor + overlay link)

Well, this works and I was able to mount system and vendor, create the link, move the apk file, etc but it appears that the apk itself is not working on NPF10C. Thank you for your help and the refresher on the unix commands!

[MOD] [ROOT] Ticwatch E&S: enable all system watchfaces

DISCLAIMER: This tutorial requires root access, so be careful. I'm not taking any responsibility.
This is a quick tutorial on how to enable all system watchfaces on Ticwatch E&S. In order to make this method working it is needed to change the product model. I don't know if ota updates will still work after applied.
Instructions:
1. First of all we need to gain root access. To do this I suggest to follow this thread (thanks to @EpicLPer )
2. Download and unzip the file oem.prop attached to this post. It is a modified version of original file in which I have just modified the product model from "Ticwatch E" (or Ticwatch S") to "Ticwatch E&S"
3. Connect the watch to computer and and send these commands:
Code:
adb push "[I]/directory/to/saved/oem.prop[/I] " /sdcard/download
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /oem
cp /oem/oem.prop /sdcard/download/oem.prop.backup
cp /sdcard/download/oem.prop /oem
mount -o ro,remount /oem
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod -R 644 /system/app/TicWatchface
mount -o ro,remount /system
reboot
3. Wait for the watch to reboot and don't worry if there is no more any default watchface, it is normal at this point.
4. Connect the watch to computer again and send these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod -R 755 /system/app/TicWatchface
mount -o ro,remount /system
reboot
5. When the watch is booted there should be all watchfaces on it, both S and E ones.
6. Have fun

Thanks, I was just working on this and you seem to have found the MUCH easier route than I (editing the APK).

Well, I was working on your same direction when I found this easier solution!

After reinstalling some apps, I think they reset back to the model defaults. I'm not sure but I think anything that adds or modifies watchfaces causes it to revert.
