Does anyone have the unified email client that comes with the atrix?
If yow will delete the thread because there's another one with the same request/solution, please direct me towards it! I've searched the forum and I couldn't find any.
Go here and download the bloatware file, just pull the apk from it and push it to your phone.

Thanks a lot!!
Dumb question, which one is it? I'm guessing messaging widget is just a widget (and won't install).
I would grab both and push it to your phone.

sorry for being unclear, there is only one with "messaging" in the name and that doesn't install. there is no other file with email/messaging/mail in the name. thanks for your help!!

I guess what I'm saying is, grab the messaging.apk and use adb to push that to your phone
HTML:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
exit
exit
Then:
HTML:
adb push messaging.apk /sdcard
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/messaging.apk /system/app
reboot
Or, if you have root explorer or some other explorer, do it thru that, just move it to /system/app.
You will want to reboot after installing it so your phone can initiate it during boot.
Thanks for your help! Unfortunately the file you pointed me to only contains the widget.
If anyone could extract the messaging.apk from his phone it would be awesome!

My bad bro.. here ya go.. the UniversalInbox.apk is in there, just grabbed that off my phone... not sure if that's the only file you need, let me know if that works or not and I'll up some other Blur files that might work..

Thanks a lot for that... but it wasn't the thing I was trying to ask for . The default build has a messaging app in which you could access all the email accounts, the sms, facebook etc

Messaging.apk is the one you need.
The widget is called MessagingWidget.apk
I've attached it... just remove the .zip from the file name.
someone uploaded before I could.. doh!

Does anyone know where i can get the Desire's default live wallpaper for download? I've got Froyo and I liked that bubbles wallpaper.

Not 100% but it's probably the same as everything from Sense, you need to be running Sense to use them

It's in the livewallpapers.apk. I replaced the one in DJDroid with the one from cyanogenmod6 and that worked. So I'm sure you can use the one from the leaked sense 2.2 rom in any random Froyo rom.
Edit:
I have attached the Livewallpaper files from DjDroid for you.

You need to push it from recovery since you can't get read/write access on the desire because of the weird root.. so just reboot into recovery "adb shell mount /system" then "adb push ...."
that worked, but i don't think the zip file you attached had the bubbles live wallpaper from stock desire ... thanks though

Oh wait.. I think you are right, could be I replaced them in the ROM with another one. I don't have the original file anymore, so maybe you can download the DjDroid file yourself and see if it works that way.
Good luck

apparently, the sense wallpaper isn't in the livewallpaper.apk but in the mode10wallpaper.apk, and you need multiple libraries.

ok, so i finally was able to push the files into my phone and the desire's default bubbles wallpaper is working for me on Defrost 2.0b (which is a 2.2 froyo rom)
I'm attaching the zip file with the appropriate files that need to be pushed into your phone using adb.
use the following code to push the files into phone.
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push system/app/Mode10Wallpapers.apk system/app
adb push system/lib/libicule.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libiculx.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10.so /system/lib

What version do you currently have?
Did it come with your rom or did you download it?
You can backup your settings (export) to your sdcard and restore (import) with the new version if by chance your settings are not preserved.
Im using CM 5.0.8 ,and it came with 0.8.9.
And how do i go about doing that export/import?
Either download link from your phone and install or download on PC put on SD card open file manager and install are easiest. Put it on a friends phone. Looks good. Backup and restore are in settings adw.

Do a search for ADW.Launcher in the Market, it's there. Just make sure you have a period in between "ADW" and "Launcher."
Hey,
I'm interested in updating the ADW.Launcher version that came with my CM5.0.8 rom, but I don't know if it's OK to update through market or get the apk file and use "adb install" or find a zip file to flash...
Could anyone make some light in here pls?
Thanks!
I have tried downloading the apk file for my CM5x and MDPI device from Anderweb's page but when I tried to "adb install" I get...
INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS
Can someone shed some light? Is there a way to update the ADW.Launcher that comes with a specific ROM version?
Tried using android commander?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Since I'm new to this scene, what is the difference between the "adb install" method and using the Android Commander (which I need install)?
Would Astro help in this case, because I remember reading that has support for installing apk files?
I'd like to do this update as clean as possible.
Thank you for the reply!
PS: I have actually installed Android Commander and installed the ADW.Launcher apk for CM5x MDPI as an Update (wasn't sure what to chose between Private, Application or Update) and the installer said it was successful but after reboot I still have the old version 0.8.6
Any ideas?
U can download it put it on your sdcard and install with a file manager. Doesn't matter which way u go. Should work. Done it both ways
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
I did it somewhat the way you said and installed it with Android Explorer as an update because the regular installation would fail with the error that the application already exists.
The problem is that the new version gets copied into /data/apps/ and I can start using it but after the first reboot it's not there anymore and I get back to the one that came with my CM5.0.8 rom which is in /system/apps/
I would really like to get a solution that would update the one in /system/apps/ which might be harder because it's a memory mapped version of the ROM and changes get lost after reboot.
Please correct me where I am wrong...
Have u tried goin to the market and installing it from there? It's like version 1.4.1 or something now
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
place the file on your /sd.
adb push /sdcard/filename.apk /system/app
restart home or reboot phone.
I ended up installing the one from Market and making that the default launcher, but I would really like to just replace the one in the system folder - no need to keep 2 versions of the same app
I'll try the method NetrixTardis was suggesting.
U can do it through the terminal as well. Maybe removing the old one will solve it. Use the rm command in the terminal and see if u can do it that way. Ex.
$su (enter after each line)
#rm /system/app/(name of app.apk)
Then u can use cp command to copy the one from your sdcard.
Cp /sdcard/(app.apk) /system/app/
Someone correct me if I'm wrong in the lines
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
hey johnson8cyl
I'll try that and let you know if it worked, should I copy it to the same name?
like /system/app/adwlauncher.apk is the name for the system app, while the Market installed one is org.adwlauncher....apk
do you guys know a good keyboard replacement and a way to configure the vibration alarm on my CM5.0.8? these are mostly the things I miss from my stock ROM
oh...forgot to mention the CM5.0.8 default camera does not have all the setting (like I can't set the ISO), is there one that does that trick?
thanks!
I'll answer the keyboard part. I've got Smart Keyboard installed and its a lot better than the stock Android one.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
U have to use the names exactly the one your removing and one your copying. Names have to be what u want to remove or copy. That make sense?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Makes total sense to keep the same names only that I have this problem...
any ideas? kinda makes sense because that comes from the ROM and is mounted as read-only
# su
su
# pwd
pwd
/system/app
# rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm: can't remove 'ADWLauncher.apk': Read-only file system
ps: I actually managed to fix this what was missing is "adb remount" to mount system partition read-write
So you figured it out? Were you able to get it removed and replaced?

Im new to forum but Ive been trolling for the past couple days. I currently rooted my Vibrant with One Click GalaxyRooter. Then purchased Root Explorer to view the hidden files and folders that I need to get to in order to remove some of the stock .apk and odex files.
Im currently in the /system/app directory and the first thing that I want to remove is that avatar icon and files. I long press the file in root explorer to delete it and it allows me to. Only problem is that when I go back or refresh the directory everything is still there even when I reboot my phone.
Any suggestion.

You don't access the file directory. Titanium Backup will show you a list of ALL apps installed. You simply click and press uninstall. Simple, no fuss. You can even make a backup before you uninstall it in case you need it later. Done.
Use Titanium Backup like everyone said, I also had the same problem with other Root Explorers. Also be sure to delete the .zip file because it might cause problems later. Also do you know what trolling means? I think you meant lurking, because trolling implies you've been trying to get people angry.
I didn't even notice he said he had been trolling LOL. Get back troll! My brain automatically assumed lurking.

What you need to do to get a boot sound on CM7/AOSP is the following.
1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/bootsnd.sh Apparently some people had issues with the first link, so I uploaded it again. Download that file, place on your sdcard.
2. Take whatever sound you want and rename it to: android_audio.mp3 [needs to be mp3 format] and then place in your adb tools folder.
3. On your phone, open terminal emulator, and type in the following:
su [enter]
cd /sdcard [enter]
ls [to list all files, you should see bootsnd.sh]
sh bootsnd.sh [enter]
You won't see a confirmation, or message, it just runs, and returns you to a # sign.
From your computer, adb push the android_audio.mp3 to the /system/media folder, reboot, and you'll have a sound.
If you don't like / know how to use adb, using root explorer and placing the android_audio.mp3 in the system/media folder works just as well. Reboot, and enjoy your boot sound.
*NOTE*
If you flash / change roms, you'll have to re-run the process to enable the boot sound again. If you get tired of it / don't want it, you can use root explorer and delete the file.
Alternate method:
For those that don't like using the terminal emulator, you can do it via adb:
navigate to your adb folder via commanda prompt, then issue the following commands:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /sdcard
ls [will list files, you should see bootsnd.sh]
sh bootsnd.sh
Like in the emulator, you will be returned with a # sign. Then place the audio file in the folder I specified. Just decided like posting an alt method. Enjoy.

The file should save as a .sh. If it doesn't show up as .sh when you are saving it, save it as all file types, and that should work as well.
If you double click it, it should prompt you with the "no program found...do you want to...blah blah" And it should show bootsound.sh

Well AOSP roms [i.e CM7] wasn't designed to have boot souns, so it probably won't be integrated [my speculation].

Ok just tried this without using adb as I think its million times better to just use a ftp app and get this done in seconds. But I dont know why its not working. I check the name to make sure I wasnt putting in the .mp3 twice and for some reason it wont play the file. And its in MP3 format.
I had some that wouldn't play for some reason too. Try a different mp3 file and see id it work. If not did u get the bootsnd file placed on the root of sd card and pushed the file with adb. Or my preferred method terminal emulator.

When we delete iit, will the menu icon slide over or will there be a gap?

You can get titanium backup free in the market. It will allow you to uninstall screencapture. You need root for it as well as for root explorer.

Thanks for the suggestion and I can stop those stupid screen capture !
You don't need to uninstall it with Titanium Backup, just freeze it. I have no idea what mad scientist at Samsung thought there was the dying need to make screenshotting an ever-present feature button.

It can be done using adb.
I'm assuming that the system apps are located in /system/app/ like my phone (I don't have a tab yet, though hopefully I will soon).
If that is true then a
Code:
adb rm /system/app/screencaptureservice.apk
should remove it. I have an inkling that there might be some capital letters in there (Like I said, I dont have the tab so I cant check), if the above code gives you an error about the file not being found type
Code:
adb ls /system/app/
which will show you the list of all files in /system/app/ and change part of the first code to reflect any capital letters.
I would suggest not deleting the file but renaming it or moving it somewhere (so it can be restored afterwards. Both are done with the same command mv (short for move)
The following code would rename the file and add renamed to the beginning:
Code:
adb mv /system/app/screencaptureservice.apk /system/app/renamedscreencaptureservice.apk
Or alternatively:
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/app/
mv screencaptureservice.apk renamedscreencaptureservice.apk
Whether renaming/moving or deleting I suggest rebooting after completing the task.
This will be great for my not-so-tech parents Tab, they would be so confused by the false "screenshot" screen if they would be pressing this endlessly.
Worked great thanks, don't know why this button exists.
Overly complicated since there's a setting in (ICS) it to change it: Settings -> Display -> Quick launch.

On my ICS rom which is based on the stock touchwiz, in settings>display>quick launch. You should be able to change what the button does or to remove it completely. Hope this helps if you have the same options.
