Bing removed! Google is BACK!

Didn't see this here, so here is the post.

Works great, just did it all on my phone while laying in bed. Took about two minutes.

is there a way 2 do it without that stupid launcher.. i dont like the set up

I love LauncherPro. It was one of the first things I installed.

Oh yeah, LauncherPro can't be beat. Make sure you shell out for the Plus version to get the widgets. The new Facebook widget with the latest update is very nice. Plus, the developer says he's got some more new features coming soon for Plus users.

Entering searches in the URL bar of the browser still goes to Bing. Does anyone know if the browser.apk file can be replaced with one from another Galaxy s phone ?

Try and replace Browser.apk with one from another carrier and see what happens, because that's what we're talking about.
I'll give you a hint, it starts with a "B", and ends with r-i-c-k.

lol gotcha i was just giving him another option

Bricked it last night and had restore with odin. Any other ideas?

I replaced my browser apk with one from some htc phone and from another galaxy phone. No brick, but didn't work. I replaced my original browser apk and Im fine again.

You guys need to be using a deodex'ed browser.apk and remove browser.apk and browser.odex from /system before you try using another browser.apk. I'm gonna start work on porting the vibrants system over to the fascinate tonight so we will see where that gets us.

Did you reboot? Mine bricked on reboot.
The discussion is almost pointless though, just rename it or install another browser. If you brick, re-flash with the ROM we have available now.

It could or could not, I'm not an Android expert but I do know that it's worth a shot. If it doesn't work you can always uninstall, should work like any other apk. (or not work like any other apk)

A lot of roms can run live wallpapers, but the real problem is finding one that will work on the magic 32b or dream.
That said, does anyone know of perhaps a list of wallpapers confirmed to run smoothly on the more modest android devices?

LWPs just aren't worth it, the home screen is already slow enough, why bog it down even more and reduce your battery life at the same time. I can see how they're feasible for high-end devices, but not first-get armv6 devices.

Live wallpapers work fine on G1 and mytouch running OTA
Here's how
Uninstall any livepicker.apk
I put the com.android.wallpaper.livepicker.apk on my sd card and re-named it "live.apk" for simplicity then:
open up better terminal and run:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/live.apk /system/app
reboot
I ran a fix_permissions as well..

It's just that it's probably one out of every 6 or 7 and is frustrating to weed them out.

I'm not sure I understand fix_permissions? Is that another command in terminal? Does my myTouch have to be rooted? Also, is the livewallpaperpicker.apk yoshua posted in this thread what you used?
Thanks!

fix_permissions can be done with a custom recovery, terminal (though you might need busybox?) or in rom manager.
Any livewallpaperpicker.apk should work

Settings and about phone. I am just wondering because Rumm is 2.3.320 and I think Fission is 2.3.340. If you want try this before you try Rumm. Backup current ROM and then run the Metro Flash from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289. Also make sure your APN settings are correct.

Thanks a lot I found that I can have everything working with the stock Rom. Using root explorer to push the u2nl and upstart.sh. it will only send mms using 3 mags pixel.

Help with mms!!!
Ok, I've followed everything step by step in order to make my stock GB DX work on Metro instead of VZW. All went perfectly until the last part. Flashing MetrOFF 1.2 (GB). I have put the file on my sd card and tried running it in recovery mode per instructions, and it seems to start, but then fails out saying that it's not signed and aborts. Does anyone know how to make it work? I like the stock ROM and took out most of the bloatware that I didn't want. The rest is perfect imo, except the MMS part. I don't have service yet because I want the phone working %100 before paying another company money for service. Pease help!!?

Try using the old version of CWM recovery.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

ok.. CWM Recovery. Sorry, I'm tired and I don't quite follow. I know I didn't say which instructions I followed, but I never had to dl another recovery prog to get this far. I did get the instructions from this forum and followed them to a tee. After all of that, I ran across another thread that showed me how to mod settings through ##7764726 with the code 000000 (Well, it led me there and I figured out alot just by looking around.), and then another prog allowed me to set the APN. Anyway, I wonder if between that and other forum instructions, did I bypass having to use the MetrOFF mod? I'd still like to because all of the other instructions there were right on the money and don't want to find that I missed something going through a back door. TY for the info...
Also (a bit off topic), I need a prog that will allow me to actively switch between apps (ie. Web, game, IM service, sms/mms, e-mail, etc) w/o having to back out completely or restart the app or navigate from the home screen to that app every time. Kinda like Task Manager in Windows Mobile 6.5??? I'm sure I'll have to designate a shortcut to that app on the home screen (wish I could make a button do it, like the back button ), but it would make "fast switching" a hell of alot faster and easier. TY big time for any help here!!!
Going further down the rabbit hole... Why isn't it told that in order to install CWM you need to get something from Java in order to undersrtand the SDK file of Android and then from there (God willing) understand wtf you're doing to install CWM on the DroidX? It seems pretty clear that this is the process to get an app from the AndroidMarket to work on this phone. Yes, for me it's worth the effort, but for a noob with no patients that just wants the better to be best, I think it should be an added must in all instructionals! Even my tech savvy self (still learning all things android) is perplexed and almost confused at all of this. I hope I help someone out there with all the same frustrations...
OK. I have since went round and round like most of us do to get things working correctly. I have had success in getting Bootstrap on my phone via .apk on my sd card (not the way I expected to after much hw and following guides), but even now that I have successfully installed CWM, I still can't run the MetrOFF zip file. I get an error stating that:
"Amend scripting was depreciated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was Necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages."
I then found the Metroff 1.3 [Edify] version that was also meant to remove a roaming indicator, and it was also aborted because of a yet unknown (to me) error. Again, I ask, Please HELP?

No older CWM...
@ Bigshotrob22
Ok, I finally figured out why you said to use an older version of CWM. Problem that I have now, is that I can't find on older version that works. I found 3.0.something and tried it, but it only booted to a black screen everytime I tried to use it at all, so I went back to 5.0.whatever for now. Can Anyone please post a link to an older version that will work on DroidX?

[MOD] Flash 10.3 Working HULU Updated: 8/9/11

Thanks goes to s197 From incredibleforum.com
I just reuploaded the file and pieced together two different posts of his to get the original to work on this phone.
Hope you all enjoy!
Thanks to KhasMek and anyone else i forgot!
also, make sure your browser is not set to use mobile. it will not work if it is set to that. so if your using stock browser un-check mobile view. if your using dolphin HD make sure your User Agent is set to Desktop.
Flash 10.3 + Hulu_8 is version 10.3.186.3
Edit 2:
updated for new flash, thanks Almighty1 for the edited libflashplayer.so that's been put into the latest flash from market
and added a zip of the modded .so file. i had no problem installing it though after i uninstalled the previous version of the apk.
You can use root uninstaller from market to uninstall some of those apps, such as flash, that come pre-installed on your phone. If you do it that way, make sure to do a reboot after you uninstall flash to make sure it uninstalls all the way.
compuw22c has also made a flashable version if you guys prefer.

Hey guys, visitor from the Epic forums but I loved these hacked libs, but had issues with them sticking on reboot after upgrading to gingerbread. I've compiled them into a CWM flashable zip located in This Post or This DL Link. Details included in the post, credit goes to imneveral0ne for the hex-edited lib files. Enjoy guys!

Basically, you need to be root. Extract the files to your phone (system -> /system, data -> /data) and reboot. You need to have stock flash installed. It basically patches the libflashplayer on startup so you don't have to manually.

3. Use Root Explorer or ADB to put the file in: /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
